Chapter 29
"What are you grumbling about? I did exactly what you told me."
Everything went back to normal, well as normal as it ever was. All the boys spent more one on one time with Nichole, happy to have their soulful girl back. At the moment Nichole and Dean were having a little father daughter time out in the junk yard.
"I said to put the green tag filter in." Dean countered.
Nichole pointed at the engine, "I did!"
"That's the one for the carburetor."
Nichole and Dean were locked in a staring contest.
"Well then get Sam to help you, I don't know what your asking me to do half the time."
Dean laughed, "That boys is even worst than you, one time I asked for a screw driver and he passed me a socket ranch."
Sam scoffed from the front seat of the car, "I knew the difference, I gave you the wrong tool so you'd stop asking for my help."
Nichole laughed at her uncles, may she should try that so she could get back to her tanning.
"Nichole can you hear me?"
Nichole straighten up and looked around the junk yard, she knew this voice, but the only time she heard it now was in her dreams and even then it was a little distorted.
"What?" Her father asked her.
"I- nothing. My back is killing me leaning over like this, I'm going to go see if Austin needs any help digging up info on this new case."
Dean nodded with his head under the hood and Sam had gone back to focusing on what he was reading.
"Honey can you hear me?" Her mothers voice came again.
"No, no this can't be happening." Nichole muttered under her breath. "I'm better, I'm fine why is this happening."
"Nothing is wrong with you, you are perfect. Even with your father and Sam's influence, though I never had any doubt that they would take great care of you."
"Stop!" Nichole demanded.
Austin ran into her then, "This is the first time I've bumped into you today."
Nichole gave an uneasy chuckle, "Sorry I was just talking to myself."
"Only crazy people talk to themselves." He joked.
Nichole raised her pointer finger, "Sane people talk to themselves, crazy people answer." She joked back.
"You got me there. I'm going down to the corner store, you want to come for the ride?"
Nichole smiled, "Thanks but I have this killer headache, I think I'm just going to lay down."
Austin looked out the window, where Dean was bent over his baby.
"You are probably dehydrated, make sure you bring some ice water up with you."
"Will do."
Nichole waited till Austin left the house, busying herself breaking ice cubes from the tray in the kitchen.
"Crazy people hear their moms voices in their head."
"Nichole you are not crazy, I know it might seem like it but if you would just let me explain."
"This isn't real, this isn't happening." Am I going crazy?
"Nichole."
Cass appeared at the bottom of the stairs, his face showed an understanding, like he knew what Nichole was lacking.
"We need to talk."
"About what?"
"How your mothers soul ended up in your body."
Nichole's back hit the wall behind her, What did he just say?
Cass led, Nichole over to the couch, making sure she was seated safely before retrieving the boys from the yard.
"This better be good Cass, Sammy's favorite song just came on the radio."
Sam threw his hands up, "Dean, how many times do I need to say it, Heat of the moment is not my favorite song!"
Dean chuckled to himself, following the angel into the living room where his daughter sat completely zoned out.
"Sup with her."
Cass answered with a smile on his face, "When Crowley was explain how Nichole some how yoga'd her way into a "happy place" she had a little help."
Everyone in the room waited for the other shoe to drop.
"What does that mean?"
Cass looked at Dean, he had ease dropped a couple time when Dean and Nichole spoke about Lisa. The angel knew how the hunter felt about the mother of his child, he wasn't sure if he would be happy about this.
"Mom's soul is mixed with mine." Nichole beat Cass to the punch line.
Dean pitched forward, "Come again?"
Cass stepped in, "When the angels were in possession of Nichole's soul, Lisa's soul was drawn to her daughter. They called to each other and found warmth in being close. When it came time to bring her soul back to her body, Lisa chose to go with her daughter."
"Is that safe?" Sam looked at his little niece.
The angel nodded, "Their souls are connected."
"Mom was talking before, when I was outside. She's explained it to me, she is here with me but also heaven. She says she can visit us whenever she wants." Nichole looked at her father. "She told me to tell you that she's so happy you were here for me and kept me safe."
Dean started to shake his head, he couldn't wrap his head around this.
"She also wanted me to tell you that she is sorry, she lied to you when you straight up asked her if I was your daughter. She wanted you to know me but she also wanted me to have a normal life. She realizes now that this is where I am meant to be, with you, Sam, Bobby, Austin and Cass."
Dean raised a brow, "You're family kid."
Nichole nodded, hearing her mother in her head.
"He's never been one for the mushy gushy feelings."
"I think I'm wearing him down." Nichole responded out loud.
"Wearing who down?" Her uncle asked.
Nichole smiled, "I was just talking to mom, she says it's nice to see you alive."
Sam nodded back with a small smile on her face.
"I have to go back now, but I will be here when ever you need me and some private time's when you will be wishing I wasn't."
"I love you mom."
"I love you too. You have a great family here Nichole Winchester."
"Yeah I do." She smiled, thinking those last words in her mind.
Everyone stood around looking at each other, it's crazy that things can still surprise them any more with everything they'd been through.
The front door was kicked open as Austin bumbled his way through, everyone's attention went to him. The hunter dropped his bags to the ground so he could hang up his jacket, eventually turning around to the room of spectators.
"What'd I miss?"
That's All Folks :)
