"Sam...Sam, no- I'm fine! I'm OK! aH!" Ruby woke up with a soft cry, seeing Sam still sleeping beside her. Lightly shaking him, she tried to wake him. "Sam... Sam, please. Wake up. I had a nightmare..."

He woke up almost immediately. Perks of being a hunter, it seemed. He could wake up with just one touch if he had to. He sat up a bit and looked at her, his arms around her.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Nightmare..." She admitted, hands dancing across his chest. "You left me."

He pulled her closer to him, letting out a small sigh. "I'm never going to leave you- ever. I love you so much."

She smiled, kissing him. "Please don't ever...I don't want you to leave... And well it- it was mid hunt."

"I would never, ever do that. I promise." He said as he kissed the top of her head.

"What'd you dream about, hm? You seemed kinda happy when you wake up..."

"It was nothing." He simply said, giving her a half smile.

"I don't think so-" she continued, smiling back though she shook her head. "Tell me? Might help you sleep better."

"I don't know, we just all we happy.." He explained.

"Happy how?"

"Well, for starters, Dean and I had our parents.. We had kids.. Dean was married.. We were all just.. Happy..." He explained as a small smile crept on his face as he thought about it.

She nodded. "That's good, you need a dream like that every once in a while, I hate how mine are nightmares except for that one really good one..."

"What really good one?" He said, not really recalling her ever mentioning one.

"the- one I dreamt after we got ride of those demon bodies. I just- well it was really good." She sighed, looking at him. "Wish I had those more, woke myself up in a good way."

"I'm sure you will. I mean, there's a lot of stress on you and all of us. You're probably just stressed." He ran a hand through her hair softly.

"I better. Yeah, we are. Sorry I woke you up...I didn't mean to, I just- I was scared."

"It's fine, you mean more to me than if I lose a little sleep." He kissed her forehead softly. "Try and get some sleep, okay?"

"i will...I just- I feel...weird. like I'm changing, I mean it doesn't feel bad just... Off," she told him, eyes shutting as his lips came against her forehead.

"You also need to remember you are pregnant. Things are going to feel weird." He explained.

"No I don't mean like- I don't know how I mean. I'm not tired. Or atleast I don't think I am. I just...I don't know." She yawned, talking in circles as he pet her hair.

"Here- Lay down, close your eyes and.. I'll play with your hair until you fall asleep?" He offered. It was all he could come up with but he hoped it would help.

She smiled, doing as he wanted, though she really wanted to stay up forever and just lie in his arms, it was where she felt at home. "But I don't wanna sleep..."

"Just try, okay?" He said as he gave the top of her head one last kiss for now. He pulled her close to him, one arm around her while the other softly pet and combed through her hair.

She growled softly at him, though she stopped when his arm went around her. "Fine... Can we asleep in though tomorrow babe? I booked the room for more than one night..."

"Yeah, sure. I'd love to," he said half asleep. He hand continued to comb through her hair as his other arm kept her close to him.

When she woke up the next morning and rolled over, it was only ten am. "Sam? I'm sorry... About last night."

He was already awake, him laying there with his arm by her. "You don't need to apologize, it's fine, really."

"I just feel bad." She curled back into him, all but yawning. "I feel like... Strange. I...I can't explain it, I just- I don't want to leave your side. As if getting out if this bed is going to hurt," she reasoned, tracing nails on his chest.

"Well, don't feel back about that. Truth is, it makes me feel more needed. He said as his arm kept her close to her, his fingers rubbing her skin softly.

"But I do need you." She agreed, turning to kiss him softly. "I love you, and I need you to help me through this. Also to protect me and just- make my world a lot better. It's like you keep all of hell away when you're around." She smiled gently, her hand running down her stomach.

He gave her a small smile and kissed her softly. "Good, because I need you and I'm glad I make things better for you." He never really felt these feelings when he was with his brother or dad, he never felt like they needed him, and that was part of the reason he left. That was also maybe why this was so big for him.

"I...I still want to go hunting for as long as I can. Human hunters still do cases up until they deliver, don't they?" She asked,

He nodded his head softly. "Yeah, some of them, but usually small cases. But I think it'd be best if we tried to keep you off the demon and angel radar.."

"How? It's not like there's a guaranteed safe place we can go to to do that." She sat up slightly, tilting her head.

"You're right.. Because whatever would keep them out would keep you out, well, actually.. Maybe not.." He said as he got an idea.

"I know that look, what is it?" She asked, reaching to run a hand through his hair.

"There might be a way, it's just.. It's not guaranteed." He explained as he sat up a bit, grabbing his phone.

"Would you just tell me?" She pressed, shifting to straddle him with a low whine. "Please?"

He dialed Dean's number, listening to it ring. "There's a cabin, you could probably be protected there."

"Huh, you're awake finally. Hey, I was thinking of checking out one of the museums today until I find a case, would you want to come along?" Dean started in the other line, wondering why Sam hadn't called earlier.

"Yeah, sure. Dean, can I ask you something?" He said as he took into account of what Dean said. What was it with everyone wanting to see museums all of a sudden, not that he was arguing with it.

"Yeah, what? Oh, it's the natural science and history, it's the kinda roadtrips we would have taken if we were normal, well raised normally." He pointed out.

"Yeah, okay cool." He said as he tried to get to his point. "Do you remember that cabin up in Maine? Do you think it's still empty? Oh and do you think you could get some angel warding from Castiel or Bobby?" He bombarded his brother with every question that popped in his head.

"Woah, woah. Yeah, it's probably still empty. And angel warding? This isn't about Lucy, is it?" Dean asked, the flurry of questions only making him think of one thing.

"It is," he admitted. "It occurred to me that if demons- or Angels- found out about what's going we'd be even worse off."

"No shit sherlock! That cabin won't be able to take all of heaven or hell coming for it if you're thinking of taking her there, Sam. There's gotta be somewhere safer. Angel warding won't do much help." Dean explained, though he really wasn't sure.

"What the panic room? She can't get in there. The cabins remote, we could ward it from both angels and demons and if we just lay low then maybe it'll work out."

"... Maybe, we'll have to-y'know what, forget the museum, we can find a hunt out there and chase it, you two can check their cabin out?" He suggested.

"Yeah, okay. We'll meet you in the lobby at about.. Noon, okay?" He said as he thought about the stuff they'd have to do by the time they had to leave.

"Sounds good." Hanging up, Dean smiled. He was up for a good road trip anyways, meant finding another case literally across the country.

He looked at Ruby. "We're skipping the museums"

"What? Why? That was the whole point of coming to Chicago! Really? I'm gonna kill Dean..." She grumbled, rolling her eyes.

"Kill me," he said as he looked at her. "Plus it's for your safety. We can come back after all this blows over." He explained as he kissed her cheek softly, getting up.

"Will I'm not gonna kill you... Why can't we just go and meet him later?" She pouted, "And what'a'ya mean after all this 'blows over'?" She questioned as he got up, she following him to the edge of the bed.

"At the moment, I mean nothing by it. But when demons- and Angels- realize the infamous Winchesters have gone off the map, they're going to come searching. Dean's in on this too now, he knows what's up." He said as he grabbed some clean clothes and head into the bathroom.

"So where are- Sam. You're not going to be able to hide me from everything. The more obviously pregnant I become, the more shit will come for me." She brought up, not liking the feeling of being stuck inside for the next nine months.

He walked out of the bathroom, sitting on the bed and looking at her. "The more obvious it becomes, the more things are going to try and kill you." He paused for a moment as he averted his eyes to a little bit away from her. "And if you do get killed and I did nothing to try and save you I think I'd be even worse than when Dean died." He explained as he took her hands.

"Isn't that what I just said? You're not keeping me shut up somewhere! As long as I'm with /you/ I'll be fine! I'll go check this place out, but I'm not staying and you're not making me!" Her voice had gone up slightly, she wasn't yelling, but she was emotional.

"Ruby.. I'm not invincible. I can't protect you all the time, things will get the drop on us and.. And if you were to get hurt.." He paused. "You don't have to stay shut up there, but when it becomes too apparent to hide.. I need you to stay in safety."

"Fine, I'll check the place out. Can we just... Let's talk about some lighter things, hey?" She tried, getting up and rummaging through her stuff.

"Alright.." He said as he kissed the top of her head before going back into the bathroom.
