I´ve decided to write the first half of this chapter from Adriannas POV to give you a better insight on her thoughts and feelings. Let me know what you think. xxLois
Dean looked at me for what seemed like forever and I could tell that he was startled by my sudden recovery since apparently the doctors didn´t think I´d make it through the day.
"Cas got one of his angel buddys to give me some blood." I explained and briefly looked into his eyes.
"I´m so sorry Ade. For everything." His voice was barely above a whisper.
I knew he was genuinely sorry from the hurt expression on his face and the audible guilt in his voice but I couldn´t forgive him just yet. He hurt my feelings by betraying me and in order for me to forgive he had to earn back my trust which wouldn´t be easy.
"I know you are but it´s not enough." I paused for a moment to gain composure. "I need time."
He nodded. "You might not believe me after what happened but I care about you. I lo.."
"Please Dean, don´t do this to me. It´s not going to make it all go away." I cut him off. I felt bad for doing so but I didn´t want him to drop the L-bomb on me like that. I wanted to be sure that he really meant it and didn´t just say it because he felt like he had to.
Just then Blair came bursting through the door looking furious. "What the hell are you doing here?" She demanded and glared daggers at Dean.
"Blair, chill. It´s ok." I tried to calm her down and it seemed to work a little. "So, what did the doctors say? When can I get the hell out of here?"
"They´re going to have to run some tests and do more scans to make sure you´re ok." Blair smiled. "If you´re stable enough they´ll release you in a couple of days."
***
I checked myself out of hospital 4 days later after having undergone endless tests and scans. The doctors didn´t have a rational explanation for my very sudden recovery so they just referred to it as a miracle.
Blair packed my stuff together while I tried to take a shower without getting the cast on my left arm wet. It took me a while but eventually I succeeded. Before I exited the bathroom I inspected myself in the tiny mirror. I looked much better than I had days before but I still felt very sore. The bruises had vanished and my skin looked normal again.
I tossed the hospital gown into the bin and left the hospital with my sister in tow.

Never in my life was I that happy to be back home. Sam pulled me into a bonecrushing hug while Dean just nodded at me in acknowledgment.
We all went into the kitchen and had lunch together. No one said anything for a while so I decided to break the silence. "Have you guys found a new hunt yet?"
"There was a wendigo loose a couple of states over but Rufus has taken care of that already. Castiel doesn´t have any news either on Lucifer or the angels for that matter. It´s awfully quiet at the moment and it worries me."
I agreed with Blair, either sides were up to no good and that meant serious trouble. "We should hit the road again. We´ve been here for too long."
"But you´re still hurt." Sam objected.
"It´s just a broken wrist, nothing to worry about. You heard the doctors I´m fine and not dying anymore. I promise I won´t do any active hunting until this cast is off."
"She´s right Sam and besides we can´t afford to take a vacation in the middle of a damn apocalypse. We´ll head out tomorrow and see if we can find ourselves a hunt."

General POV. Anything written in Italics are thoughts or dreams.
Dean and Sam had barely spoken to each other since their fight and it was obvious that that wouldn´t change any time soon.
The older Winchester was laying on his bed scanning through a car magazine while the younger one browsed the internet for potential cases.
Eventually Dean nodded off and drifted into deep sleep.
Dean woke up to find himself sitting on a bench in the middle of nowhere.
"Hello Dean." He turned around to face the owner of the voice which turned out to be a tall dark haired man in his midthirties.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my dreams?" Dean demanded angrily.
"I just wanted to finally meet the infamous Dean Winchester, my one and only true vessel." The man chuckled.
"Michael." He hissed through clenched teeth.
"Oh my, what´s with all the hostility?"
"I´m not going to say yes to you so find someone else you can annoy."
"I didn´t come here for that."
"What do you want then?"
"I came here to show you something. Do a little convincing of my own." Michael stepped towards Dean and eyed him closely. "I know Zachariah has shown you what the future will be like if you say no to me. I`m going to show you what it´ll be like if you say yes."
"I´ve seen that dude your buddy Raphael has possessed. I hate to break it to you but a life as a drooling mess is not really appealing."
"It´ll be different. Once I´ve killed Lucifer and left your body, you´ll be your good old self again. No drooling, I promise."
Dean cocked an eyebrow at him and before he could say something he felt the angels hand on his forehead.

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!" A boys voice giggled into Deans ear.
Dean slowly opened his eyes to find a little boy jumping up and down on the bed next to him. He recognized him right away, it was Nate his future son.
"I´m sorry honey, I told him not to wake you but you know Nate. He´s just as stubborn as you are." Adrianna said as she entered the room with a little baby in her arms.
She sat down next to a very startled and speechless Dean and pressed a kiss to his lips.
"Mommy!" Nate flung his little arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey sweety." She smiled. "What about your little sister? Are you going to give her a kiss, too?"
The little boy eagerly nodded and pressed a soft kiss onto his sisters forehead.
"Dean honey, are you okay? You seemed a little zoned out."
He snapped out of it and smiled. "Oh yeah, no worries." He then looked at the baby girl Adrianna was still holding in her arms. She seemed no older than 6 months and had Ades dark hair and his green eyes. "She´s beautiful."
"What can I say, we do make pretty babies." She winked at him. "Blair and Castiel should be here any minute now to pick Nate and Mary up. Why don´t you get dressed and I´ll wait for you downstairs."
Dean nodded. "Yeah, meet you in 10."
"Cmon Nate, let your Daddy get dressed. You can help me make some pancakes." Adrianna extended her hand towards her little boy and he took it.
"I don´t want pancakes. I want pie! Pie! Pie!" He chanted in a sing song voice.
Dean let out a chuckle, that little boy was definetely his son.
Once he got dressed he examined the picture frames on the walls. There were wedding pictures of Adrianna and him and lots of other pictures with Nate and Mary in it, too.
They seemed like the perfect little family.
He was on his way downstairs when the doorbell rang. Adrianna opened the door and invited Castiel and a her sister inside.
Deans eyes grew wide at the sight of a very pregnant looking Blair.
"Hey Ade, hey Dean." They greeted them.
"Aunty Blair, Uncle Cas!" Nate jumped into Castiels arms and gave him a big hug.
"Hey buddy, seems like someone missed his favourite Uncle huh?" Castiel chuckled.
"Thank you again for taking care of them today. It´s been a while since Dean and I had time to ourselves." Adrianna snaked her free arm around Deans waist.
"You´re welcome sis." Blair winked.
"Here´s Marys diaper bag and the other bag is Nates. Everything you´ll need for the day is in there."
Castiel flung the bags over his shoulder and picked up Nate. "You ready for some fun?"
Nate grinned. "Yay!"
Adrianna pressed a kiss onto Marys cheek before passing her onto Blair.
"Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy!" Nate waved.
"Bye honey, have a fun day!" Dean and Adrianna walked them to their car and waved them goodbye.
Once Castiels car was out of sight, Adrianna turned towards Dean with a huge grin plastered on her face. "Seems like it´s just you and me now."
He grinned back. "Oh yeah."
She kissed him hard and he closed his eyes savouring every moment of it. Oh how he had missed her.
When he opened his eyes again she was gone though and he was sitting on that darn bench again.
"So, how did you like it?" Michael chuckled. "All you have to do is say yes and that future could be yours. It´s all you ever wanted, a normal life with the beautiful woman that you love and two adorable children."
Dean didn´t say a word.
"I´ll give you some time to think about it. Just don´t keep me waiting for too long."

Dean shot up straight in bed. "Damn angels!" He cursed silently.
So, what did you think? Next chapter will have more Castiel/Blair in it!
