"I want to feel!" Skyler cried as she placed her hands against Kitty's stomach who was trying to focus on driving the car and not on Skyler touching her. "Why didn't you tell me I'd be able to feel the kicking."

"Because I didn't want you touching me?" Kitty asked with a sideways glance over at Skyler, who removed her hands when she was the venomous glare. "I don't see what the big deal is. The baby moves, big whoop." She could see the cocky smile on Skyler's face, but she chose to ignore it. This was exactly why she hadn't told anyone that the baby was moving, and when she accidently let it slip, it was the end of the peaceful car-ride.

"Have you told Dean yet?" Skyler asked as they followed behind the Impala on a dark dirt road.

"When exactly would I have had time?" Kitty asked back as she leaned against her hand, resting her elbow against the edge of the door. "While I was freaking out about the Lisa thing or when he barged into the apartment with a bleeding Sam?"

"Yeah, that's not any good times, is it?" Skyler asked, and Kitty shook her head 'no' in return.

The rest of the drive through the dark, early-morning hours were quiet. Skyler was hyped up on coffee, and she kept singing to the radio, which helped keep Kitty awake. It also didn't hurt that, whenever she got bored, Skyler would try to touch Kitty's stomach. It almost became a game of trying to slap Skyler's hand before she actually touched Kitty.

When the fence of the compound finally came into view, the sun was just starting to climb its way up, giving the black night sky a navy blue rim to the east. "There's a lot of cars," Kitty observed as she parked the car.

"No more than normal," Skyler answered as she got out with a shrug and made her way to the compound.

Dean caught Kitty's eye as she got out of the car, and she knew that he was waiting for her to catch up to him before they went inside, but the familiar frame of her father standing a few feet away distracted her. "I'll meet you inside later," she called to Dean before she walked over to her dad.

Her dad had a large smile on his face when Kitty approached him, and he quickly wrapped her in a hug when they finally reached each other. "You doing okay?" Dave asked as he looked Kitty up and down. "Haven't seen you in a while, and Skyler isn't exactly the best sorce of information."

"Yeah, I'm good," she answered as she stepped back a bit, placing a hand almost subconsciously on her stomach. "Doctors just want me to stop being so physically active, like that will ever happen."

"Wait, is something wrong?" Dave asked as his expression suddenly went to one of extreme worry.

Kitty shook her head and laughed silently. "I'll be fine," she answered, trying to keep the mood light. "Just, you now, another part of life on the job."

She could tell that her dad wasn't going to take exactly what she was saying, but he let her have it. All the better than fighting again. "I've actually been meaning to call you," Dave sighed as he glanced over Kitty's shoulder then back into her eyes. "It's about Case. I think I've found a way to bring her back-"

"There is no bringing her back, Dad," Kitty answered, her voice heavy. "Trust me, I've tried. No cross-roads demon would take the deal, I couldn't find any voodoo or hoodoo on bringing her back – nothing. I've tried, and there's no way." It was a chapter closed on Kitty's life, trying to find a way to bring her sister back. And now her dad was trying to re-open it and give her the false-hope she struggled so hard to put away.

When Dave tried to explain himself, though, Kitty stopped him before he could even get a word out. "I know you haven't tried any of it yet, but maybe there isn't anything else to try. I mean, I got you back, Scott-"

"Scott's dead."

The news struck Kitty like a ton of bricks. Her brother-in-law, who she had locked up in a psych ward under the watchful eye of a friend who worked there, was starting to get on the mend. Even though he still couldn't remember anything, Scott was doing fine and nothing weird was happening. Until five seconds ago.

"When did this happen?" Kitty asked, then realized the more important aspect. "Why didn't I get a call sooner?"

"It only happened just last night," her dad explained as calmly as he could, trying to keep his daughter calm. "I got the call because I had them call me with the updates after you decided to go off the grid. I didn't want you to be bothered by any of this. I was protecting you."

She wanted to yell, she wanted to scream and punch and kick, but what would that do? Prove more to her father that Kitty needed protection? With a heavy sigh and a hard glare fixed on her face, she looked at her dad and said, "You want to take care of this? Fine. But stop treating me like I'm a little girl. That's the reason I haven't spoken to you in over a month."

Leaving Dave to stare after her, Kitty turned on her heals and headed to the compound doors, just as Sam and Dean were walking out. "I don't trust him," Dean whispered to Sam. "Dude's hiding something- Are you okay?"

It took her a moment to realize that Dean was talking to Kitty with the last bit, her mind was so angry. "Family sucks," she answered simply before following the boys as they walked around the compound. "What's going on with Samuel? What's he hiding?"

"I don't know," Dean answered as he put a hand around her waist, "but I can feel it. And if you weren't Robo-Sam, you'd have felt it, too." When Sam only huffed as an answer, Dean stopped Dean in his tracks and turned to look at his brother. "What?"

"Just… you," Sam answered as he gestured toward Dean. "Saying you don't trust family."

"I'm sorry," Kitty interrupted, "but, really, how is Samuel family, aside from the scientific sense? He isn't exactly the "barbeque on the weekends" kind of family guy."

Dean sighed heavily. "Look, we hang close, blend it, and see what we can pick up."

"You think Samuel's connected to this whole soul thing?" Sam asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I think he's the only lead we got," Dean answered in return.

This isn't going to be easy at all, Kitty thought to herself as the group started heading back into the compound.
