A/N: I only own the OC.

Thank you for reviewing! I am overwhelmed at the love for this story. Thank you for the reviews, suggestions, and pms.


I woke up some time later and I realized that I was back in my room... in Nevada. I glanced around to see Elias sitting on the couch watching TV, and knew that I would be ok. I let my body relax again and fall back asleep.

I was woken up sometime later to two people arguing. I knew that was one was Galina, and the other sounded like Dean.

"You are her husband. You need to stay." Galina said to Dean.

"She doesn't like me." he said.

"Because you don't let her. You won't look at her, include her, and walking around with that revolving door of a whore doesn't help." Galina said and I tried to smirk, but it hurt. She was right about everything she said. I heard the door open and tried to open my eyes. I could barely open them from the pressure... I guessed they were swollen.

"Dean, she's right. You need to stay with her." a voice said and I realized it was Roman.

"Besides, I gave an order to not let her on the property anymore... and Paul ok'ed it." he said and I felt another smirk.

"Fuck you." he told them and I heard movement.

"Do not leave this room. You are her husband... she is trying. You are going to try too." Roman said and I heard everyone stop.

"I am not staying here." Dean roared.

"Then shut up and get the fuck out." I croaked as I forced my eyes open as much as I could.

"Brianna, you are awake." Galina said as they all moved towards me.

"Yes, because you all are loud. I appreciate the help in this marriage, but if he doesn't want to stay then he doesn't have to. I don't expect anything from Dean anymore." I said as I glanced at him. He pursed his lips and ran his hand through his hair.

"I will go get the doctor." Elias said and slipped out.

"Can I have a moment with my wife?" Dean asked and they both looked at me. I sighed and nodded.

"I will check on you later." Galina said and Roman kissed my hand before they left with a last glance at Dean.

I tried to sit up, but Dean stopped me.

"I won't stay if you don't want me to, but I did want to tell you that we got the man who did this. It was Randy Orton." he said and I knew that name rang a bell. Galina had warned me about him at our wedding. He would come around every so often and look at us like we were meat.

"I'm glad." I said and he sighed as he sat next to me.

"Did he say anything to you?" he asked me and I sighed as I tried to remember.

"You don't deserve me and you all don't deserve what you have... or something like that." I finally whispered out as I looked at him.

"You really didn't deserve any of this." he said and I nodded. He got ready to say something else when the doctor came in to check on me. He gave me more pain killers and something to relax. I was grateful for that because the pain was starting to intensify.

"I will check on you later." the doctor said and left me and Dean alone again.

"I will let you rest." he said and I sighed.

"Dean... can you please stay?" I asked and he looked at me.

"You... you want me to stay?" he asked me and I nodded.

"I'm scared." I said and he sat on the bed next to me.

"Would it help if I held you?" he asked me in an unsure tone. I wasn't sure if it would, but I was willing to try it. I nodded and he carefully cuddled me to him. I fell asleep listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Dean POV

I was holding Brianna, and I must have fallen asleep. I was awoken to horrible screaming, and it took me a second to realize that it was Brianna. She was screaming and fighting in her sleep. I grabbed her and held her to me as I tried to wake her up.

"Brianna... Brianna." I said as she fought against me. I held her tighter and told her that it would be alright. I kept telling her things were ok, and she finally woke up.

"Dean?" she asked me and I sighed as she clung to me. She had scared me, but she was alright. I soothed her back and held her closer as sobs wracked her body. The door opened a second later to see an alarm Elias and I waved him off. He nodded, and quickly disappeared.

"I'm sorry." she said after a few minutes and calming down.

"It's ok... it was a bad experience. You were brave." I said and she looked up at me. She had black eyes, swollen nose, a cut on her lip, and she had a gash on her shoulder from where he threw her into the hallway stand. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and carefully wiped the tears from her eyes. She winced, and I felt horrible.

"I'm sorry this happened to you." I told her as she looked up at me. She nodded as more tears slipped from her eyes. I didn't want her to feel bad, so I did the only thing I could think of... I placed the softest kiss on her lips. I pressed gently as I felt her fingers wind into the t-shirt at my ribs.

"I really am sorry." I whispered as I pulled away.

"Can you please just stay with me tonight?" she asked me as she finally opened her eyes.

"Yes." I said and pulled her tighter to me. I couldn't explain it, but I felt responsible for what had happened... she was my wife after all.
