Chapter 11

Dean went and apologized to Ruby, but she wasn't forgiving and the black eye he was sporting was proof. He was now sitting outside the cabin they'd been staying at and was watching the woods. He got up and went for a walk, not telling them where he was going. He was a little pissed, but he knew Ruby had every right to punch him so he was staying away for awhile. Sam had talked to her and things were okay, but she was still pissed at him for things that had happened that morning.

Ruby was walking in the woods herself at the time; she wanted to get away for awhile. Dean came around one corner and almost ran into her. "I'm sorry," was the first thing out of his mouth. "I'm sorry," is also what he heard.

"Okay, so how about we pretend that I'm not a complete ass and that you're not a bitch and we go from there." Dean said

"Fine, but I'm not a bitch," Ruby said before he kissed her.

"I think I love you," Dean said before pushing her into a tree and claiming her mouth.

"I know I love you," Ruby said back, "It's killing me to say this, but I wish we could," she said

"Could what?"

"I kind of want a kid one day, but I can't have one,"

"Yes you can," Dean said, "you're in a human body so you can have a child, we can if you want."

"I just wished I could have seen my baby you know, I lied to you earlier, she had been born, I had her she was so beautiful, she had my hair and deep blue eyes, she was three years old, I just couldn't tell you the truth, it was too hard. I guess and with what you said about marriage."

"Marriage," Dean asked a little confused he'd never told her that, "Sam told you didn't he?" he asked

"Yeah, I thought about it you know, what would happen if you ever asked. The thing is your heart will never hundred percent be mine and I know that, I'm okay with that."

"Maybe we should?" Dean asked her, "marriage I mean, I really do love you Ruby that's the thing, I know that I loved Cassie, but I'm over that, not fully of course, but I found out that…" he stopped when they heard leaves crackling behind her.

Ruby took her knife out and went forward, but all they found was a little girl that looked almost three. "Are you lost?" Dean asked kneeling down before he picked her up.

"Why are you in the woods?" Ruby asked her looking into her eyes she saw something, but the moment passed. "Why don't we try and find your parents?"

"They're dead," she said looking at them with tears coming down her face, "I can't find my way out of the woods," she said before crying into Dean's shoulder.

"We better get back to the cabin now," Dean said as they started walking towards the cabin.

Ruby had a nagging feeling like she had seen this child before, but she pushed it aside, the feelings she'd had talking to Dean about kids were just playing tricks with her mind...

"First you want a child with her now you bring home kids from the woods, you two seriously need help," Sam said taking the little girl who did not want to leave the comfort of Dean.

"See you made her cry again," Dean said taking the girl away from Sam and sitting down with her, "It's okay, I want Sam touch you, he's a meany anyway." He said trying to comfort her and get her to stop crying.

"I think she likes Dean the most," Sam said, "okay so we got that her parents are dead, she doesn't like me and Dean can get her to stop crying. We know she's about three or four and that she seems to have stepped out of well Ruby's time era so what else do we know?" he asked

"Melody, that's her name," Dean said, "at least according to this locket, Melody Raven, no last name,"

"It can't be," they heard before looking at Ruby who seemed to look like she was seeing a ghost or had seen one.

"What is it?" Dean asked her standing up.

"That's what my daughter's name was, I gave her that name, I refused to put his last name on that locket, but that is my daughter," she said

"She can't be, you said," Sam started

"I lied okay; I didn't won't you two too feel that sorry for me so I lied okay, but I don't understand, why is she alive or rather why is my dead daughter here?" Ruby asked

"I don't know, but we have to find out and fast," Dean said, "I'll give you this though, she's beautiful just like her mom is, you sure you had a man help you with her?" he asked joking before letting Ruby take her daughter.

Melody didn't mind being handed to her, but she didn't like Sam even when he just looked at Dean or Ruby she'd either cry or scream at him. Then she'd go and hug either Ruby or Dean till she felt safe again.

Dean snuck out the back taking Ruby with him when she finally fell asleep, "We seriously have to talk, what are supposed to do? I mean I would love to be the dad here, but I got a feeling that…"

"She's a ghost?" Ruby asked, "Yeah I got that feeling too," she said with a sigh and Dean knew that she wished it wasn't true.

"I think I know why she's here, this has been happening in a lot of places, kids that couldn't be saved or that were killed do to somebody else's evilness are coming back, you didn't do anything wrong to her and you killed you husband for what he'd done to you so she is loving to you because you got justice for her death. When it comes to me I guess since we love each other she thinks maybe I'm her step-dad or something and she doesn't like Sammy at all, which I don't get, but we have to find a way to send her back. Not that I don't think she's sweet and wonderful."

"But she doesn't belong here?" Ruby asked knowing it was the truth.

"Yeah, baby, I don't want to do it myself, but we have too, she doesn't belong here no matter how much I wish I could keep her here. Since, she is my baby's daughter."

Dean and Ruby made the decision without Sam knowing it, but they said if everything got fixed and they couldn't send her back then they'd raise her together. It was an option anyways just in case things didn't go right because she was flesh and blood. Melody was different from most ghosts or what ever she was supposed to be; the reason being, she had a heart beat.

AN: Hope you all enjoyed i'm trying to come up with a new story about Dean and Ruby if anybody has a suggestion feel free to put it in the review or PM me about it.
