Author's Notes: The morning after…


The following morning, as the sun rose, the first rays of sunlight found Dean's duffle bags near the door to the street.

He had asked Ishmael for a cup of coffee with no sugar and the directions and schedule for the next portkey to the US. There wasn't a living soul awaken at that god forsaken hour in the morning to talk to besides the elf. Dean was good with that, he didn't feel like facing Harry. It felt like Sam all over again. Like the night he told Sam to go and not come back. He knew it hadn't happened like that in the end, but at the time he thought it had and it felt the same. Harry had beaten the crap out of him and he was going to hurt that kid in a way that there was no going back. Dean couldn't take it… He wanted to run with the kid, but he knew Harry would go after them, worse yet Harry would feel the worst kind of betrayal if he did that. This kid was Harry's dream of a family in the flesh. If he took the kid, Harry would hate him forever. He would hate himself for doing it. But leaving the kid to be… obliv-whatever… It was against his principles. He was an innocent and he loved that kid. If Harry was anyone else… He would hunt the bastard for doing it. But he was the kid's father, and Dean was just a nobody. Harry made that pretty clear the night before. He didn't have a say in this matter. He couldn't leave, but he couldn't stay either. Not after what Harry did.

"Winchester, well good morning… What is that?" Ron let out with a yawn as he climbed down the stairs. He had noticed the bags.

"My bags." Dean answered.

"You are the pussy, then? Running with your tail between your sorry arse." He asked mockingly.

"Harry made more than clear that I'm not welcomed anymore."

"Oh? If I remember right you are the one who hit him first." Ron pointed out.

"He was being a complete douche bag." Dean commented, trying to defend himself.

"I'm not saying he wasn't, I'm just saying that Harry didn't create this mess on his own."

"Right. It's all my fault." Dean said sarcastically, he knew Ron was right, but he wouldn't relent. He was John Winchester's son, after all…

"You know, you fooled me for some time… For sometime… I thought Harry had actually found someone worth his while… Guess I was wrong. Blimey, thought you had some balls, mate." Ron threw his hands in the air as he spoke bitterly.

Dean didn't look at him.

"It's his son." He answered in a defeated tone.

"Is it? You are the one who takes Castiel for a stroll every day, the one he runs to every time he has a nightmare, you are the guy this kid trusts the most in the entire world! You named him for God's sake!" Ron said sounding outraged.

"…" Dean didn't know what to say. Didn't know what to do.

"Winchester, you are Harry's family. My mom may be his mother at heart and I his brother and Hermione his almost sister… But it's you he trusts the most. It's you he loves and feared to lose for so long. Because he knows that there are some things only you can understand! I don't know the pain of losing a parent, to have him murdered before my eyes. You both share this. You both know what it is to carry the World on your shoulders. You are more his family than I'll ever be. And you are this child's family too, you can't just bail now and abandon them to this whole mess."

"Ron… I know I can't go. But I don't know how to stay. Not after all of this." Dean answered totally engrossed in his thoughts.

Ron went to him, put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a smile.

"Don't you worry, mate. Hermione will think of something."
