A/N: Long wait huh?... sorry :)...Here you are.


Sam grabbed Dean's shoulders and shook his brother a bit. Dean looked up and met Sam's eyes.

"Dean, I'm going to need you to stay with me ok" Sam said and Dean just nodded. He shook his head and stood to his feet.

"I need you to tell me everything Sam" Dean replied. "When did she go missing?" Sam sighed.

"When you left, after a couple of hours she got stir crazy and wanted to go out" Sam recounted.

"And you said no, because I told you she doesn't leave this room" Dean snapped.

"I told her it wasn't a good idea, that it could be dangerous" Sam said. "Not really an argument that phased her"

"Of course it didn't" Dean sighed. "I still don't see how she left the room, when I told you not to let her"

"What was I supposed to do Dean?" Sam asked. "Tie her to the bed, draw witches' circles around"

"If that's what it took then yes!" Dean replied. "Because then my wife wouldn't be missing right now" Sam shook his head. "Where did she go?"

"She wanted to check out that fair we heard about at the diner" Sam said. "The one by the dock, we were there for a while, until I convinced her that we should leave" he brought a hand to the back of his neck. "She agreed, but had to use the bathroom before we did"

"Then what happened?" Dean asked.

"Fine, just let me use the restroom and we can leave, hold my teddy" she handed him the bear and her candy before heading to the bathroom.

He stood there waiting, looking around when something didn't feel right. He turned and walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. There was no response. Sam cracked open the door an inch.

"Katie, you ok?" he called but didn't get a reply. He heard the sound of glass shattering and quickly dropped the stuffed animal, running into the bathroom. He found broken glass on the floor, and he found traces of blood on the broken window, what he didn't find was his sister in law.

"She was just gone" Sam said looking over to his brother. "Dean I'm sorry man, I shouldn't have let her out of my sight" Dean turned his back to his brother and shook his head. "Dean, look she's been through this before, she's strong, and she can handle what they throw at her" Dean shook his head and turned back to his brother.

"What if she can't Sam" Dean replied, "What if she can't handle what they throw at her?"

"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.

"This isn't the same as every other time Sam!" Dean snapped. "There's more at stake!"

"I don't understand" Sam replied. Dean shook his head before reaching his pocket and pulling out a folded piece of paper. He flipped it open and stared at it for a moment before looking over to his brother. "What's that?"

"You wanted to know what we were hiding?" Dean asked as he handed Sam the paper. "Where there it is" Sam looked over to his brother confused before taking the paper and looking down at the gray and black photo.

"Dean" Sam said looking back up to his brother. "Is this-"

"That is a picture of your first niece or nephew Sammy" Dean replied. "So trust me when I say, this isn't the same, if they hurt her and she loses this baby, then I lose her" Sam looked back down at the photo. "And if I lose them, then I lose everything" Sam handed his brother back the photo. "So please tell me you saw something, anything that gives us a clue to who took her."

"No, I didn't see anything" Sam replied pacing the floor, when he stopped and turned back to his brother.

"What?" Dean asked. "What's with the look, do you know something?"

"Yeah" Sam replied. "I know who took her"

"Wakey, Wakey little lady" the voice seemed louder than it should be. Everything hurt… why did everything hurt. It was cold and whatever she was lying on was hard. There was an odor in the air, one that was twisting her stomach in knots. Katie tried opening her eyes but it seemed hard. Who would've thought something as easy as sliding open your eye lids would be proving so difficult. "C'mon you can't be that tired" she gave it one more shot and they opened, but she immediately wished they didn't. "There are those eyes, I've been dying to see"

"Crowley" Katie said her voice rough, he throat was dry, almost burning. What was wrong with her? "What-" she tried to get the words out. "What did you do to me?"

"Just a little something, something, I may have borrowed from a djinn friend of mine" Crowley replied. "Don't worry it was just a tad, I'm going to need you a bit functional"

"for what?" Katie asked.

"For my trip" Crowley replied. "In that head of yours"

"Crowley wanted you to bring him Katie?" Dean asked and Sam nodded.

"Yeah" Sam replied. "Said it would be the last thing I needed to do before he gave me my soul back" Dean skeptically looked over at his brother. "What?" Sam asked. "You don't honestly believe I would do something like that do you?"

" I don't know what to believe Sam" Dean replied. "All I know is that my wife and child are missing and the last person to see her was you" he shook his head. "So excuse me for trying to try and see this more clearly"

"I didn't do it Dean" Sam replied. "I may be different now, but I wouldn't trade her for my soul, not after everything she's done for me, for us"

"Fine, I believe you" Dean replied. "But I'm still don't understand why you let her out when you knew he was looking to get to her?"

"I thought he was bluffing" Sam replied. "I mean after all of his chances to get to her, he's never even tried, I always figured he was too scared to try anything"

"Maybe he was and now he isn't any more" Dean replied.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked.

"I mean you're right" Dean said. "He never came at her because he knew what she was capable of, what she could do, something changed?"

"Wait, he said he was dancing around doing this, taking her" Sam replied. "He was trying with the alphas and when that didn't work, he turned to Katie"

"It still doesn't make sense" Dean replied. "If he knew she had the location of purgatory why go after all of these demons who wouldn't spill the beans" he turned to his brother. "Why not go after her in the beginning"

"Something changed" Sam replied.

"Yeah, but what?" Dean asked when suddenly the lights went out. "What the-"

"Dean" Sam said when suddenly the door bust open, but before either man could react they were knocked unconscious.

The only thing Dean immediately noticed was the pounding in his head. That's when he heard her voice.

Hey wake up, you.

He remembered that she was gone and opened his eyes to see Sam looking over to him, tied to a chair. He looked down at himself to see that the same had happened to him. He tried to pull himself free but it was no use.

"What now?" Dean asked looking over at his brother.

"I think I know who you can ask." Sam replied looking over his brother's shoulder. Dean turned when a dark haired woman came into view.

"Evil bitch." Dean said already knowing who the woman is.

"Keep sweet talking me, this could go a whole new direction." Meg replied that annoying smile on her face.

"Meg. I've been dying to see you again." Dean replied. "But now's really not a good time, so why don't you let us go and we promise when we kill you it'll be quick"

"Aw Dean, you've always had a big ego" Meg replied. "I'll leave you to your business after a little Q&A first" she looked between the brothers. "Now, where's your boss?"

"You think we work for somebody?" Sam asked and Meg laughed before turning to the youngest Winchester.

"I happen to know for a fact you've been juggling Crowley's orphans." Meg replied. " Now where is he?"

"Don't know." Sam replied. "Don't care."

"You've been working his beat for months." Meg replied.

"Doesn't mean we get face time." Sam said and she just smiled before turning to Dean and straddling his lap.

"Ok, how about we ask the missus Dean, where is she now?" Meg asked.

"Like I'd ever tell you bitch" Dean replied.

"C'mon Dean don't be like that" Meg replied. "I know, tell me where's he take all those things you snatch up for him?" she brought her face closer to his. " I bet you an all-day sucker that's where his majesty's holed up." She pulls out a knife and brings it Dean's throat. " OK, officially over the foreplay. Satisfy me, or I please myself!" She turns when she hears Sam laughing.

"Something funny, Sam?"Dean asked just as confused as the demons in the room.

"Yeah, Meg." Sam replied looking over to the demon.

"Really?" Dean said looking over to her. " 'Cause where I'm sitting…"

"Don't worry." Sam replied. " She can't do jack squat. She's totally screwed." Dean felt the knife press harder against his neck.

"Sam, not helping!" Dean yelled.

"Look at her, Dean. She's furious" Sam replied. " If she could kill you, she'd've done it by now. She's running. "

"Am I?" Meg said standing to her feet and turning to Sam.

"Judging by the level of flop sweat on all of you, yeah." Sam replied a smile still gracing his lips. "Which means you're running from Crowley. Which makes sense. Crowley would want to hunt down all the Lucifer loyalists now that he's the big man on campus."

"How would you know?" Meg asked and Sam just looked over to his brother.

"It's what I'd do." Sam said. "She can't kill us. She needs us to get her to Crowley so she can stick that knife in his neck. It's him or her. "

"Well, I hope you both lose." Dean replied. "Right now all I care about is-" Dean stopped himself and Sam noticed the look on his face and turned to Meg.

"So, you know what you gotta do now, right?" Sam asked.

"Let me guess." Meg asked. "You're gonna tell me."

"Work with us." Sam replied and Dean looked as shocked as Meg at Sam's response.

"Whoa, what?" Dean asked.

"We'll hand you Crowley with a bow." Sam replied. "On one condition: we come with you and you help us wring a little something out of him before you hack him to bits."

"What?" Meg asked.

"Doesn't matter." Sam replied glancing over to Dean before turning back to Meg. "Question is, can you get us what we need?"

"I apprenticed under Alistair in Hell just like your brother." Meg replied. " So Dean, can I make Crowley do whatever I want?"

"Yeah, she can." Dean replied.

"It's a deal then." Meg replied smiling. " Hugs and puppies all around!"

"You gonna untie us?" Dean asked.

"Please." Meg replied leaning down to cut the ropes on Dean. "Don't pretend you don't enjoy it." She turned and cut Sam's ropes as well before turning and leaving. Dean stood to his feet as one of Meg's minions stared at him intently. "You gonna kiss me?"

"Come on!" Meg called and the demons followed.

Katie didn't know where it was coming from, but there was a bright light shining down at her. She kept her eyes shut, or nearly shut trying to keep the light out. She tried moving but she couldn't She blinked a bit, but had made out the straps that had her tied down to a table. She turned her head to see medical instruments.

"I have to get out of here" Katie thought. With what little strength she had, she tried pulling from the straps, but they were too tight. She tried using her powers but her head was too clouded to focus. She stopped when she heard voices.

"I have to tell you all the negative energy is getting us nowhere my friend"

"I told you, not to take her"

"And I told you that I would check under every stone, and she's the last one"

"You do not understand the consequences of doing this"

Katie recognized the voices, but couldn't pin point from who.

"I know that all our answers are in that pretty little head, and so do you"

There was a moment of silence and Katie wondered if they were even still there.

"I'm going to take that silence as agreement, now if you'll excuse me I have things to do, minds to invade"

"Do not hurt her"

"I'll try my best but there are hazards I can't prevent"

Katie heard footsteps getting closer and soon the blurry face of Crowley appeared above her. He smiled at her before running a finger across her lips.

"You still with us love?" Crowley asked.

"Who-" Katie tried. Her voice cracking, throat still dry. "Who were you talking to?"

"Aw, questions and question my dear" Crowley said. "Aren't you tired of all the questions, because I know I am"

"Let me go" Katie said, she could feel the tears falling from her eyes. "Please, just let me go"

"Are you begging?" Crowley asked his face with true surprise. "I tell you, this is definitely not what I expected" he looked up as if he were looking at someone before looking back down to her. "Snide comments, threats, hell I half expected you to break out in song just to spite me, but begging never even crossed the list" the demon brought his face closer to her. "What are you hiding love?" Katie remained silent, tears continuing to fall. "Well I guess I'll find out soon" he stood up straight and clapped his hand. "It's show time people"

Dean was sitting in the motel room waiting for Sam, hoping he was able to convince Cas to help them. He looked at his watch, too much time was passing. He ran a hand through his hair before sitting on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Hey!" Dean said carrying a grocery bag. He walked into the kitchen where his wife was bent over in the refrigerator. He sat the bag down on the counter and tilted his head a bit admiring the view. "Aren't you supposed to be resting?"

"I was" Katie replied standing up straight and closing the door. "But then I got hungry" she turned to her husband. "But there is nothing in there"

"I know, which is where I've been" Dean replied and Katie move in front of him to look in the bag. He wrapped his arms around her, his hand resting on her stomach.

"Ooh, crackers" Katie said pulling out the box and sitting them on the counter. "This is good" she turned in his arms.

"Morning sickness?" Dean asked.

"I don't know why they call it that" Katie replied bringing her arms around his neck. "It should be called anytime sickness"

"Which is why you should be resting" Dean said. "Off your feet" he quickly brought his arms under her knees picking her up bridal style.

"I can walk" Katie replied.

"I know" Dean replied as he carried her back to the bedroom. Katie quickly grabbed the crackers. "But I'm taking care of you now, so that includes no walking"

Dean was torn from his thoughts by the door opening. In came Sam and to his surprise he was followed by Castiel.

"You actually showed." Dean said standing to his feet. "Wow, Sam, I owe you a chicken dinner. What happened?"

"No big." Sam replied looking over Castiel. "This is what friends do for each other."

"So did he tell you what going on?" Dean asked looking over to the angel.

"Yes" Castiel replied. "Crowley has Katie, this is very bad"

"Yeah, we pretty much get that" Dean replied.

"I don't think you do" Castiel replied. "Katie holds secrets that can be dangerous in the hands of this demon"

"Not really caring about any secrets right now" Dean replied before looking over to Sam. "Did you tell him?"

"No, I thought you would want to" Sam replied. Castiel looked between the two brothers.

"Tell me what exactly?" Castiel asked looking over to Dean.

"Katie's pregnant" Dean said. The angel turned and stared off into space. Sam and Dean share a look before turning back to the angel. "What?" Castiel looked over to Dean.

"We have to find her" the angel said before walking over to the wall of the room and closing his eyes to try and sense Crowley or Katie.

"What do you think that was about?" Sam whispered over to Dean as they watched the angel.

"I have no idea" Dean replied. He just hoped they found her in time.

"Now, dear I've never really tried this before on a human, so I have no idea of the pain level" Crowley said placing his hands on either side of Katie's head.

"Don't do this" Katie cried. "Please, please" she tried pleading but before she knew it she was strapped to a table anymore. She found herself in the white room. Katie looked up to see the familiar face of the woman with no name staring back at her. "He's here!" the woman hit a button under her desk and suddenly an alarm rang, as red lights flashed.

"Don't worry" the woman said. "We will take care of him" she looked around. "You must hide" Katie nodded before running off.

"It's not working." Castiel said turning back to the brothers. "Crowley's hidden from me."

"What about Katie?" Sam asked. "Try finding her, and it should lead us right to him"

"I already did" Castiel replied looking over to Dean. "I can't- I can't sense her at all"

"Well what the hell does that mean?" Dean asked.

"I don't know" Castiel replied. "We are all able to sense her wherever she is, she's the link to our father, but it's as if something's blocking me from her"

"Well, looks like we're gonna have to try this the hard way." Dean said grabbing his jacket. "Let's go have a word with our dear old grandpa"

"This is quite the set up" Crowley said walking down the white hallway. He noticed a woman sitting at a desk looking back at him. "Excuse me, I'm a bit lost I'm looking for information on purgatory, where would I find that?"

"Have you tried hell?" the woman asked and the demon cracked a smile.

"First place I looked actually" Crowley replied. "Thought I'd look here, so if you don't mind, right or left" the woman stood to her feet.

"You should not be here" she said. "You get one warning and one warning only, and then we get physical" Crowley quickly brought a hand to the woman's neck and lifted her off the ground.

"How about we skip the warning and get straight to the physical part" Crowley replied. "Where is it!"

"You're just like all the rest" the woman said, his hand squeezing her neck. "And you will end like all the rest, she will see to it"

"It's going to be hard, seeing as I have her strapped to a table at the moment" Crowley replied.

"It's the thinking you've already won that's going to be your down fall demon" the woman replied before disappearing.

"Even the people in her head are annoying" Crowley said turning around. "Oh, Katherine!" he began walking down the hall. "I know you're in here!"

Katie pressed her face to the door. She could hear him, it seemed his voice was getting closer. She couldn't let him find this room. She turned around and pressed her back against the door before sliding to the floor. She sat there her eyes glued to the baby crib that sat in the center of the room. She brought a hand and rested on her stomach.

"I won't let him find you" Katie whispered.

Sam, Dean and Castiel were in the middle of searching Samuels's office when the man walked in. They all turned to him.

"Can I help you?" Samuel asked glaring at the three men. " What do you want?"

"We wanna know where Crowley is." Dean snapped walking over to the old man.

"If I even knew, why would I tell you?" Samuel replied and Dean shook his head.

"Cause you're our grandfather." Dean said sarcastically. Sam walked over and stood next to Dean. "Look, he has Katie" he looked over to Sam. "And he has Sam's soul"

"Who says you can get it back?" Samuel asked looking over to Sam.

"Me." The youngest Winchester replied.

"Look, I'd like to help, but I'm sorry." The man replied walking around to his desk.

"C'mon I know you don't like Katie and all but Sam" Dean looked over to his brother before turning back to his grandfather. "It's your grandson's soul"

"I can't." Samuel replied looking down to his desk.

"What is wrong with you?" Dean asked. "Do you wanna work for Crowley?" the old hunter was silent. Dean turned to the angel in the room. "Cas, can you give us a minute?" and the angel disappeared. "We're your blood. But if you don't wanna help us I can't make you." He shook his head. " But I just gotta know why. What is Crowley holding over you? You owe us that." Sam takes out a picture and hand it to Dean.

"Mom?" Dean says looking down at the picture.

"He's gonna give her back to me." Samuel replied.

"Crowley's gonna bring mom back from the dead?" Dean asked looking down at the picture once more before looking back to the old man.

"You tell me you don't want her back." Samuel asked and Dean just handed the picture back to him. "You know, the one difference between us: you know how to live without her."

"Look, I know how you feel." Dean said.

"No, you don't." Samuel snapped. "She's my daughter, and she's dead, and I can do something about it." Dean just shook his head before taking his picture out of his pocket.

"You see this!" Dean snapped holding it up so Samuel could see. "This is my kid, your great grandchild, so no I don't know how it feels to lose a kid and if you help us, then I won't have to" he put the picture back in his pocket. "I mean you can't really believe Crowley is gonna make good here"

"He brought Sam back!" Samuel snapped. " And me!"

"Trust me, don't go down that road." Dean replied.

"What are you saying?" Samuel asked.

"I'm saying, stop trying." Dean replied. "It's gonna go nowhere good. Samuel, I know we've had our differences, but I'm your grandson and I'm telling you that this is wrong for so many reasons."

"You hypocrite!" Samuel yelled.

"I'm asking you to learn from our mistakes!" Dean snapped. " Doing this, this is how the bad guy gets us every time. It's our Achille's heel. Apparently it runs in the family. We will figure something else out. Okay?"

"I'm sorry Dean, but I – " Samuel shook his head.

"Fine." Dean said. "Bring her back. But what are you gonna tell her?" the old man looked up at him. "You gonna tell her you made a deal with a demon? That you wouldn't help out her sons?" Dean shook his head. "You're gonna tell her you didn't even lift a finger to save her grandchild?"

"That's enough!" Samuel snapped before plopping down in his chair. "Just get out."

Katie closes her eyes and leans her head back on the door. She feels as if she's been sitting here forever.

"He won't give up" she said to herself. "I have to find a way to get him out of here" she stood to her feet and slowly cracked open the door. She looked down both ends of the hall, but there was no one in sight. She took a deep breath before stepping out of the room. She closed the door behind her and turned to it. Katie looked at the silver 'B' that was engraved in the door. It stood out, so she closed her eyes and soon on every door appeared a different letter. She opened her eyes and began walking. She was off to find herself a demon.

Sam and Dean sit at the table in the abandoned house they were taking up residence, both looking over to Castiel, with utter confusion.

"You don't watch porn in a room full of dudes." Dean said. "And you don't talk about it. Just turn it off." The angel looked down to his lap and Dean just scoffed and looked over to Sam. "Well, now he's got a boner." There was a knock at the door and Dean grabbed his gun and head to open it. To his surprise his grandfather was on the other side. Dean stepped aside and let the man in.

"This what you boys do, sit around watching pornos with angels?" Samuel asked looking down at the angel and the television.

"We're not supposed to talk about it." Castiel replied before turning off the television.

"Why are you here, Samuel?" Dean asked and Samuel turned around to him.

"It's what Mary would want." Samuel said. "Now, this is what I know. Whatever we bag ends up there." Samuel shows them a map, a location marked. "That's where he tortures 'em, interrogates 'em, I don't really know." He looks over to Dean. "Only been outside the places, but it's a death trap. Nothing gets in that Crowley doesn't want in and nothing gets out, period."

"Well, thanks." Dean replied.

"I wish you wouldn't do this." Samuel said.

"My wife and kid are in there" Dean said. "I'm going in there"

"Come with us." Sam suggested and Samuel just shook his head no.

"I may be soft, but I'm not suicidal." The old hunter replied before turning and leaving.

"Come out, come out where ever you are!" Crowley yelled as he strolled down the hallways, the flashing of red lights above him. "I have to say the security in this place is terrible"

"Everything happens for a reason" Katie said and the demon turned around a smile on his face. "Maybe I wanted you in here"

"Now why would you want a thing like that?" Crowley asked stepping toward her.

"Because in here, I can make you my bitch" Katie said before holding a hand up toward the man. Crowley flew, until he was pinned against the wall.

"Oh, really" Crowley asked trying to pull from the wall. "You'd think a smart guy like me would plan for something like that" he began to laugh, when Katie grabbed the sides of her head, as she began to feel dizzy. She stumbled a bit, catching the wall with her arm. "Oh wait I did" Katie looked over to the demon who was back on the floor and walking over to her.

"You see that djinn gave me a lot of, let's say resources" he grabbed the side of her hair and pulled her toward him. "Enough to make you my bitch, for a while anyway" he brought their faces inches apart. "Now tell where is it?"

"You think you got the upper hand" Katie whispered, she felt blood dripping from her nose. "Think you've outdone the rest" a smile crept on her face. "We're gonna have so much fun Crowley dear"

"Sir!" Crowley was pulled from Katie's head by the sound of one of his demons yelling. He looked down at Katie's eyes that seemed to struggle to stay open, blood still dripping from her nose. He wiped the back of his hand across his face and was surprised at the sight of smeared blood on his hand. "Sir!" Crowley wiped his bloody nose and whipped his head up to the demon.

"Didn't I say I didn't want to be interrupted?" Crowley yelled walking over to the demon. "You better have one hell of an excuse!"

"Sir they're here!" the demon replied. "The Winchesters"

"Of course" Crowley said. "Get them, lock them up, I'll deal with them when I'm finished here" the demon nodded before running out of the room. Crowley turned back and walked over to Katie. "Sorry for the interruption"

"You met with Sam" Katie let out. He looked down at her confused. "Oh, c'mon you didn't think this whole looking inside someone's head went one way" a weak smile came to her lips. "You open a door and you risk something getting out"

"Well the boy knows a good deal when he hears one" Crowley replied.

"He wasn't helping you" Katie replied. "He refused"

"C'mon, he knew the risks of you stepping out into the big bad world and he still let you go" Crowley replied. "Sounds to me, that the Sammy boy from way back when is long gone, and he'll do anything for his soul, even sell out his sister in law"

"No, he wouldn't" Katie replied. "Deep down he knows the truth, you don't have his soul do you?"

"What make you say that deary?" Crowley asked.

"Because no matter what title you hold, you will and always will be nothing more than, in the words of my husband, a punk ass crossroads demon" she shook her head. "I can't believe I actually considered that you had that much power, that you would be able to pull out Sam and Samuel and Sam's soul" she closed her eyes fighting through the pain. "Tell you the truth I'm not even sure you did that" she opened her eyes. "You're working with someone"

"Amazing" Crowley said bringing his face closer to Katie's. "Here you are lying on a table, your head about to explode, and you're still worrying about everyone else"

"Sir!" the demon entered again and Crowley's head snapped up to him, he raised a hand to the demon, causing his insides to feel like they were burning.

"You must be new" Crowley said walking over to the demon. "what is it this time?"

"The Winchesters sir, they're not alone" the demon let out. "They're with demons, one is Meg"

"Bloody hell" Crowley said. "Handle it, damnit!" he let go of the demon. "Can't you people see that I am busy!" the demon ran out of the room, this time when Crowley turned, the table Katie was strapped to was now empty. "Damnit"

Katie moved down the dim lit hallway, the wall the only thing holding her up. She had no idea where she was or where she was going, all she thought was that she had to keep going forward.

"Sweetheart"

she stopped at the sound of the familiar voice. A voice she thought she would never hear. She turned, pinning her back against the wall, blinking trying to see if what she was seeing was real or not.

"Daddy" Katie whispered.

"I died and you did nothing about it" Robert said. "I died and you replaced me"

"No" Katie said shaking her head. "No"

"No time for running dear!" she heard Crowley yell. She turned in the direction of his voice, before quickly turning back, but her father was gone. "How much longer do you think you can keep yourself up!" She turned and continued moving forward along the wall.

"How much more do you think she can take?" Death asked and She turned to him at the question. "You can't tell me you have asked yourself that question" She turned back out to look out the window. "Do you think she has one more fight in her?"

"No" She replied and Death stared over at her. They both sat there in silence before She turned back to him and smiled. "I think she has more than one more fight in her"

"You can run, but you can't hide!" the demon yelled. He seemed closer. That was the only thought that went through Katie's mind.

"Katie" she stopped at that voice. It was like music to her ears. She turned and looking through bars to see Dean staring back at her.

"Dean" Katie said. He reached a hand through the bars to touch her face. She was warm, too warm. "Are you real?"

"Yeah, I'm real baby" Dean said looking her over. She didn't look good. "Princess I need you to open the door for me ok"

"He was right you know?" she turned at the new voice. It was her father again. "Once again you didn't listen and now you've put you and my grandchild at risk"

"Princess, look at me!" Dean yelled but she looked away. He turned trying to see what she was looking at, but he saw nothing. "What the hell did that bastard do to you?" he heard something from down the hall. "Katie, I need you to hide ok?" she turned back to him. "Someone's coming"

"Dean no" Katie said grabbing his arm. The last thing she wanted was to leave him right now.

"I will find you, I promise ok" Dean said. "But right now you have to hide" she stared at him for a moment before nodding, and turning around. She made it down to the end of the hall and turned down a counter. She peaked down around the corner to see two demons walking down the hall stop in front of Dean's cell. They pulled him out, each grabbing on of his arms before pulling him with them. She was about to follow after him, when she felt someone grab her by her hair and pull her back.

"There you are" Crowley said turning her to face him. "Come my dear, we were having so much fun" before she knew it, Katie and the demon were back in his torture room. "Let's get you back on the table"

"No" Katie said closing her eyes and trying to pull free from the demon, but he held a firm grasp on her arms.

"Don't be like that" Crowley said pulling Katie closer to the table.

"No!" Katie yelled before lifting a hand toward the demon's chest. A light shined from her hand sending the demon flying. Crowley looked over to her as her eyes opened and they too were shining a bright white. "Now is that anyway to treat a lady?" she asked as she stepped over to him. He quickly made his way to his feet.

"Probably not" Crowley replied. "To be fair, I'm still not sure what you are" she smiled.

"Something you'd think you'd know before you jump into someone's head" She replied. "I mean you probably still can't explain that funny feeling, can you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Crowley replied.

"You got a little something" she said pointing to his nose, which he was unaware, was bleeding. He wiped the blood from his nose and looked at his hand before looking back over to her. "Very good plan, poison her with the djinn blood, and then take a look in her head for answers to purgatory" she folded her arms over her chest. "Except you didn't take one thing into consideration"

"What's that?" Crowley asked and she just stepped toward him, planting herself directly in front of him.

"Me" she replied. "I was never going to let you find it, it's not yours to know"

"Who the hell are you?" Crowley asked and she laughed.

"I'm who you didn't plan for" she replied. "Who no one plans for" suddenly an alarm blared throughout the building. She looked up and smiled. "You also didn't plan for his love for her" she looked back down to the demon. "I think I'll let him have you" before the demon could respond he was standing in a different room, demon Christian lying dead on the floor. He turned to see who pulled the alarm and there stood Dean.

"You should be ghoul scat by now" Crowley said before Sam came up behind the demon hitting him in the head knocking him to the floor. "Really necessary?" he dusted himself off before standing to his feet. "I just had this dry-cleaned." He glances up at the ceiling to see that he's standing under a devil's trap. "So, to what do I owe the reach-around?"

"Where is she?" Dean asked taking a step toward the demon. "What did you do to her?"

"All I did was take a quick peek in that noggin of hers" Crowley said with a shrug. "And then she went all Dr. Jekyll on me"

"What are you talking about?" Dean asked.

"Your wife is all kinds of interesting Dean" Crowley said shaking his head. "I swear if I only had more time in that head of hers"

"Hey!" Dean snapped walking to stand in front of the demon. "Where. Is. She?"

"Afraid I don't know mate" Crowley replied. "She's started shinning like a light bulb and then plopped me in here" Dean glanced back at Sam before turning back to the demon. They turn at the sound of the door opening, to see Meg walk in.

"Crowley" Meg says.

"Whore" the demon replies. Meg shakes her head before holding up a hand toward the demon.

"Ok, you know what" Meg says as Crowley began to bleed internally. He coughs up blood. " The best torturers never get their hands dirty" she glances over at Sam. "Sam wants a word with you"

"What can I do for you, Sam?" Crowley asked.

"You know damn well." Sam replied. " I want my soul back."

"And here I thought you just grew some balls, Sam." Meg said.

"Well?" Sam asked glaring over at the demon.

"No." Crowley replied.

"Meg?" Dean said and Meg tortures the demon again.

"I can't" Crowley replied through the pain.

"Can't or won't?" Sam asked.

"It's can't" they looked up to see Katie standing behind Crowley, her eyes glowing a bright white. "He doesn't have your soul Sam" They turned to her back to the demon.

"I was lucky to get this much of you out." Crowley added. "Going back in there for the sloppy bits? No way. I'm good, but those two in there? Forget it."

"How do I know you're not lying?" Sam asked.

"You don't" Katie said. "But you know I'm telling you the truth" she closed her eyes and when she opened them they were normal again. "He doesn't have it"

"why do you want the thing back?" Crowley asked. "Satan's got one juicy source of entertainment in there. I'd swallow a rag off a bathhouse floor before I took that soul. Unless you want to be a drooling mess."

"Sam, I hate to say it, but he's right." Meg said.

"Yeah, right. I get it" Sam said looking over to Meg. " Thanks. He's all yours."

"Whoa, what are you, crazy?" Dean says. "He's our only hope."

"Dean, you heard him." Sam replies. "He can't get it. He's useless." Dean looks over to Sam before turning to Katie who just nodded before handing the knife to Meg. Meg walks over to the edge of the devil's trap and looks over to Sam and Dean.

"You'll let me back out, right?" Megs asks and they nod.

"This is for Lucifer, you pompous little – " Meg says holding up the knife, but Crowley quickly takes her down, grabbing the knife and throwing it in the ceiling breaking the devil's trap. He lifts a hand and pins Sam and Dean to the wall before turning to Katie.

"Didn't we do this already?" Katie asked and the demon smiled. "This ends badly for you" Crowley takes a step toward her.

"I may not have found what I was looking for, but I did see some interesting things in the head of yours" Crowley replied.

"Too bad you'll be dead before you repeat it to anyone" she looked over the demon's shoulder. "Hey Cas, you got the goods"

"Yes" Castiel replies. Crowley turns around to see the angel with a bag in his hand.

"Castiel, haven't seen you all season." Crowley says. " You the cavalry now?"

"Put the knife down." Castiel warns.

"You that bossy in Heaven?" Crowley asked. "Hear you're losing out to Raphael. The whole affair makes Vietnam look like a roller derby. Hey, what's in the gift bag?" the angel digs in the bag and pull out a skull.

"You are." Castiel replies.

"Not possible." Crowley said staring at the bag.

"You didn't hide your bones as well as you should have." Castiel replied and the demon begins clapping.

"Cookie for you."

"Can you restore Sam's soul or not?" Castiel asked.

"If I could help out in any other –"

"Answer him!" Dean snapped.

"I can't" Crowley replied and without hesitation Castiel incinerates Crowley's bones and Meg vanishes.

"Well, she's smart, I'll give her that. I was gonna kill her, too." Dean said before looking over to Katie, who stood there staring at the spot Crowley was just standing. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "You ok?" she lifted her head and looked at him.

"I think I should go to a hospital" Katie said. Dean nodded before wrapping an arm around her and heading for the door.

Sam was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital when he saw Dean walking out toward him. He stood to his feet as his brother arrived.

"So is she ok?" Sam asked and Dean sighed.

"Yeah" Dean replied. "She's was dehydrated, but they're getting her fluids, other than that, she's good"

"And the baby?" Sam asked.

"The kid is perfectly healthy" Dean replied with a small smile. "Looks like the kid might inherit their mother's cool healing trick" Dean looked at the obviously fake smile on his brother's face. "Look Sam, you know we're going to figure something out about your soul"

"No we won't" Sam replied.

"Why?" Dean asked. "Because of what Crowley said-"

"You heard what Crowley said!" Sam snapped. "And I heard what Cas said. Putting this thing back in me would smash me to bits"

"We don't know that for sure" Dean replied.

"You know what" Sam said shaking his head. "When angels and demons agree on something, call me nuts, I pay attention"

"You say this now?" Dean asked not believing what he was hearing. "After we practically died trying to –"

"Exactly!" Sam said. "We almost got ourselves killed. I mean, how many times do we risk our asses for this? Enough's enough."

"Sam –"

"Your wife is lying in a hospital bed Dean!" Sam snapped. "Again" he turned his head. "I don't think I want it back"

"You don't even know what you're saying." Dean said shaking his head.

"No, I'm saying something you don't like." Sam replied. "You obviously care, a lot. But I think maybe I'm better off without it."

"You're wrong." Dean replied. He knew without his soul, Sam wouldn't be the Sam he remembered, the Sam he needed in his life. "You don't know how wrong you are."

"I'm not sure about that." Sam replied before turning and walking away.

"Sam, don't walk away." Dean called after his brother, but he didn't even turn around. "Sam!" he watched as Sam walked through the sliding doors of the hospital. He shook his head, about to go back to Katie's room when he saw someone familiar at the nurses' station. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Is she alright?" Ryan asked walking over to Dean.

"How about you answer my damn question" Dean snapped. He really wasn't in the mood for this guy. "What are you doing here?"

"I don't-" Ryan shook his head. "Look I got this feeling that she was hurt, and then I got in my car and ended up here"

"You honestly expect me to believe that?" Dean asked.

"Who would make something like that up" Ryan replied. "Look believe me or not, that's what happened, now is she alright or – " the man stopped when he got a strange feeling. Dean looked at the man confused. Ryan looked around the hospital waiting room, before spotting a man taking to one of the nurses.

"Did I miss something?" Dean asked and Ryan pointed to the guy.

"I know that guy" Ryan said before turning back to Dean. "But I don't know that guy"

"Are you drunk?" Dean asked and Ryan just glared at him.

"No, hear me out" Ryan replied. "I have never seen that guy before in my life, but I know him" Dean just looked over to the man Ryan was talking about and noticed the tattoo on the man's neck.

"Look at his neck" Dean said and Ryan looked his neck, his eyes widening. "I think that's the guy who broke into our house"

"Well there's only one way to find out" Ryan said before taking off in the man's direction. Dean just sighed before following after the man. Ryan tapped the guy on the shoulder, before the guy whipped around looking at both Dean and Ryan.

"Can I help you with something?" the man asked.

"What's your name?" Ryan blurted out and Dean glared at him before turning to the mystery man.

"Excuse me?" the man answered.

"Your name" Ryan repeated. "Do you have one, if so what is it?" the man looked over at Dean, who just shook his head.

"Sir" a nurse said and man turned back to her. "I'm sorry we're gonna need more information if we're going to find your friend"

"I don't have anymore information" he replied.

"I'm sorry" the nurse said before turning and walking away. The man sighed and turned to see the two men still standing there.

"Looking for someone?" Ryan asked. The man just shook his head before walking past them. Ryan turned to see the retreating man. "Her name is Katie and you don't know why or even how you ended up here, but you did" the man stopped and turned back to them. "All you knew was that you had to get here, to make sure she was ok?" the man walked back over to them.

"Is she ok?" he asked.

"Ok, backup, this is all getting a little weird" Dean interjected. "Who are you now?"

"My name is Aiden" he replied. "Apparently I'm the man of words, or at least that's what she says" he sighed. "I was on my way home, when I felt like something was wrong, with her so I turned around and ended up here"

"Weird feeling right?" Ryan asked and Aiden just nodded. "I had it too" he turned his head looking around the waiting room.

"Looking for someone?" Dean asked.

"Well if I had the feeling and Aiden here had the feeling, then maybe the person who has the other piece to our weird puzzle had the feeling too" Ryan said.

"You think the person who has my grandmother's necklace is here?" Aiden asked looking around the room as well, both of their eyes stopped on a young woman with curly red hair. Her eyes turned to them and they stared for a moment, before she turned and bolted out of the hospital. Aiden and Ryan quickly ran to catch her. Dean stood there still completely lost at what just happen before turning and heading back to Katie's room.

He walked in her room, to find her curled up on the bed sleeping. He hated seeing her in hospitals. She just looked so frail, lying in this cold hospital room. Dean walked over and stood at the foot of the bed watching over her as she slept.

"How is she?" the deep voice startled Dean and he turned to see the trench coat clad angle looking down at Katie.

"Fine" Dean responded. "She's just a little worn out, they're gonna keep her overnight just to make sure they're ok"

"They" Castiel said. "The child is coming" Dean looked over to him confused.

"What does that mean?" Dean asked but the angel didn't respond. Castiel continued to look over Katie as if he were trying to figure something out. "Cas!" he turned at the sound of Dean's voice. "What does that mean?"

"It means that things have changed" Castiel replied before disappearing. Dean continued to stare, trying to figure out what that meant.

"Hey" a small voice said and Dean turned and smiled to see those eyes he'd been dying to see.

"Hey" Dean said walking over to the side of the bed. He sat in the chair in front of her, before taking her hand in his and kissing her fingers softly. "How you feeling?"

"Better" Katie replied. She placed a hand on her stomach. "What did the doctor say?"

"You're good, both of you" replied. "They're gonna keep you overnight just to make sure everything's good, but we should be able to leave tomorrow"

"That's good" Katie sighed closing her eyes. She shook her head before opening her eyes and turning back to Dean. "I'm sorry"

"What?" Dean replied. "Why are you sorry?"

"I can't believe I'm saying this but you were right" Katie said. "You told me it was too dangerous for me to be out there and I didn't believe you, and all of this crap happened"

"Yeah, but you were right too" Dean said. "I can't keep you locked away hoping that's the only way to keep you safe, to keep the both of you safe" Dean placed his hand above her's which rested on her belly.

"So you're not going to secretly ship me off to some underground safe house?" Katie asked and Dean just chuckled.

"No, I say we give this another shot" Dean said. "But we're going to be more careful and we're going to stick together"

"Ok" Katie replied. She turned to the door. "Where's Sam?"

"Gone" Dean sighed. "He says he doesn't want to get his soul back"

"Can you blame him?" Katie asked. "It's hard to keep fighting for something, when you just keep getting knocked down." She turned back to Dean. "I'm going to figure this out though, hopefully it's not too late"

"What do you mean?" Dean asked.

"Well Lucifer and Michael are down there amusing themselves with Sam's soul" Katie replied. "There's no telling what affects putting that soul back into him will do"

"I just really want my brother back" Dean said. Katie grabbed his hand and gave it a soft kiss.

"We are going to figure this out" Katie said.

"Just another mystery huh?" Dean said.

"Speaking of" Katie said. "Where are my merry men?" Dean looked at her confused. "They were here, weren't they, Ryan and Aiden and-.." she closed her eyes as the name came to her. "Isabel"

"Well I guess Isabel went running and the other two went after her" Dean said. "Why do I get the feeling that things are going to get a lot more interesting now that all three of them are together"

"Because my witchee powers are rubbing off on you" Katie replied and they both laughed.

"Maybe" Dean said standing to his feet and leaning over to press a kiss to her forehead. "For now just get some rest princess"

"Alright" Katie said closing her eyes. "But you better not eat my jello"

"I'm not making any promises" Dean replied.
