Chapter Ten:

Stephanie Daniels was turning out to be quite the pleasant surprise, in Sam's opinion at least. He knew she was born and raised in McKinley although he had been quite stunned when she had revealed that she had never forgotten about him even though he was only a part of her life for the short amount of time that he had lived in McKinley. Sam had discovered that Stephanie had a pretty normal life after he had moved away. She had graduated near the top half of her class and went on to study at Brown University in Rhode Island. She was pretty down to earth though and he felt terrible about lying to her about how Dean had really ended up in the hospital. He was just too scared to tell her the truth even though he knew deep down that she'd end up finding out the truth sooner or later the longer she stayed around. Of course it happened to be sooner than he had expected when Ruby's pregnancy hormones got the best of her and her eyes turned pure black as she glared at Dean while throwing stuff at his head.

Stephanie's own hazel eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the scene unfold in front of her, "Did her eyes just..I mean, they didn't just..No, I mean, that's impossible, right Sam?"

"I, uh, why don't we talk outside where we aren't in danger of getting hit by anything?" He remarked nervously as he led Stephanie away from the hormonal Ruby and out the front door.

The brunette sat down on the white porch swing and looked up at Sam, "So what was it that I just saw?"

"Well, uh, it's a very complicated story. You see, Dean and I, we're named after our mother's parents, Deanna and Samuel. They were hunters and our mom was a hunter too. They hunted demons, vampires, and all sorts of other evil supernatural type beings. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Mom met Dad who was a marine and they fell in love so mom quit hunting to marry dad. They had Dean and then four years later I was born. When I was six months old, Mom walked in on a demon that pinned her to a ceiling. She, uh, there was a fire and she died. Dad became a hunter soon after that and he was determined to avenge Mom's death. We grew up on the road. Hell, Dean practically raised me when Dad was out hunting. Dad, though, He taught Dean and I everything he knew." He explained hesitantly and paused to take a breath.

Stephanie stared at him with a blank expression upon her face and her jaw dropped slightly, "Um wow."

"Yeah, um, as we got older, we hunted with him. After I graduated high school, I just wanted to be normal, you know, and I left for California. I went to Stanford and I was all set to become a lawyer. I met this beautiful blonde named Jessica that I fell head over heels for and after a while we lived together. I was only about two months into my last year of college before I moved on to law school when Dean showed up. I was even looking at engagement rings, I was that serious about her. Well, Dean tells me that Dad went missing and I ended up going with him to another part of California to look for Dad. We ended up getting rid of a spirit while we were there, but we didn't find Dad. When we returned to Stanford, It was November 2nd which is the anniversary of our mom's death. Jess, she died the same way that mom did that night. If Dean hadn't of turned back around and came back to the apartment, I probably would of died too. Since then, we've just been doing the family business, you know, saving people and hunting things." His voice cracked slightly and he wiped his eyes before sitting down next to her.

She nodded her head taking in all of the information that Sam had just given her and rubbed his arm softly, "I'm so sorry about your mom and about Jessica. That, um, doesn't explain Ruby's eyes though."

"Thank you. Oh, um, Ruby is a demon. Well, a half demon actually and before you freak out, she is actually one of the rare good ones. Our friend Castiel, the one in the trenchcoat, he's an angel. Um, that's about it I think." He remarked rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

The raven haired beauty blinked and looked at the man sitting next to her, "I, um, wow that is a lot to take in."

"Yeah, tell me about it. Still think I'm a catch?" Sam smiled slightly and chuckled as she shoved him playfully.

Stephanie laughed softly letting her dimples show as she looked at Sam while tucking a loose strand of her dark hair behind her ear, "Yeah, you're not so bad. Come on, I want to see if Ruby actually managed to hit your brother."

She kissed his cheek softly and Sam couldn't help laughing as she grabbed his hand tugging him inside. Of course that laughter faded when they walked in on Dean and Ruby making out against one of the walls in the hallway. Sam wrinkled his nose in disgust as Steph half buried her face in his chest giggling softly. Before Sam could clear his throat to get the couple's attention, Jo appeared on the opposite side of the hallway and fake coughed loudly. Dean pulled away slightly from Ruby and shrugged before smirking softly. He set her down gently on her feet only to cringe when Bobby whacked him upside the head with a rolled up newspaper.

The eldest hunter rolled his eyes as Dean rubbed his hand over the spot on his head that Bobby had hit him on, "This ain't the Playboy Mansion, boy! Don't get me wrong, I'm mighty happy that you boys are happy, but for the love of God, get a room, you idjits!"

Bobby walked off toward the library shaking his head and Sam had to turn his own head to keep from laughing out loud. Jo bit her lip to fight back her laughter and turned right back around returning to the kitchen. Ellen looked over at her daughter wondering what was so funny so Jo filled her mom in on what she missed. The elder Harvelle simply shook her head and smiled softly. Jo glanced up only to see the blue eyed angel appear right there in the kitchen. The slender blonde smiled brightly as she went over to him and hugged him tightly. She pulled away and smiled softly as she noticed that his face was scratch free.

"Hey, your scratches healed." Her hand brushed against the side of his face gently as she stared up into his soul piercing blue eyes.

Castiel smiled slightly and nodded his head, "All thanks to you, Joanna."

Hearing the baby cry, Ruby climbed out of the bed not surprised to not see Dean and made her way out into the hallway. She walked to the nursery and looked in only to see Sam standing next to the crib. Smiling softly knowing her baby was fine with his Uncle Sammy, Ruby turned around and walked back to her bedroom that she shared with Dean. The light in the hallway flickered just then and she reached out tapping it lightly only for it to stop flicking. She then took a step toward her bedroom only to stop and glance over her shoulder at the light. It flickered again at that moment and her bright blue eyes widened. Ruby took off running back toward the nursery and stopped in the doorway grasping onto the door frame for a moment before entering the room.

Her chest heaved as she breathed heavily trying to catch her breath, "Sam, something's wrong. I think there's something in the house."

"What would make you say that, Ruby?" Sam responded in an odd tone as he turned around to face her only to reveal his glowing yellow eyes.

The blonde was horrified at the sight of Sam with yellow eyes and pushed past him to get to her son. With the flick of his hand, Sam had her pinned to the wall opposite the crib and she fought as hard as she could against it. His lips twisted into a wicked smirk as he flicked his wrist again and a nasty gash appeared across her stomach. Her eyes filled with tears as he flicked his wrist again only this time one of her legs broke.

Her eyes turned into pure black pools of anger as she glared over at what she once knew as being Sam, "Get away from my son, you SON OF A BITCH!"

"I would never harm your son, Ruby. He is my nephew after all. My darling nephew who is going to grow up and do his Uncle Sammy proud. Isn't that right buddy?" He smiled rubbing the baby's head softly as Ruby screamed.

She glared at him even more and struggled even harder, "Get out of Sam, you evil bastard!"

"Don't you get it, Ruby? I am Sam. This is what I was meant to be all along. It's all thanks to you for showing me that demons can be good." Sam replied as his lips twisted into a smirk again.

With the flick of his wrist, Ruby slid up the and across the ceiling until she was right over the center of the room. She gazed down horrified as he picked the baby up from the crib and walked out of the room. That's when the flames started and all she could do was scream as her flesh bubbled and sizzled up until she was just a pile of ash.

It was the sound of Ruby screaming that broke Castiel and Jo apart from their lingering gaze. The pair ran upstairs along with Ellen only to find Ruby sitting up in her bed screaming while smacking at her whole body. Tears streamed down her face as Dean sat down beside her and pulled her into his strong arms comforting her with reassuring whispered words. He brushed her tears away from her face gently with his thumb and kissed her head. Her gaze broke away from Dean only to land on Sam who was standing near the door between Bobby and Stephanie. Ruby's face paled and she moved to hide behind Dean. He looked at Sam and then over his shoulder at Ruby who whispered a few words at him. He nodded his head and whispered a few words back before looking over at Sam.

"What? What is it?" Sam asked concerned about the frightened pregnant blonde that was currently hiding behind his older brother.

Hearing his voice only seemed to freak her out even more and she shrieked, "Just get out, Sam! Just stay away from me!"

"Um, maybe you all should go. I'll take care of her." Dean remarked softly as he looked over at Sam giving him an apologetic look.

Peeking over Dean's shoulder, Ruby watched the tall shaggy haired brunette walk out of the room and sighed in relief visibly calming down once he was out of sight.
