Chapter Thirty-Five: I Believe the Children Are Our Future: Part One

Five more weeks passed by and the boys were finally on good terms. Also Dean told me he was sent to 2014 but didn't go into too much detail, he just told me Sam said yes to Lucifer, I was dead, Cass was a hippy, and that he was a dick. I tried to ask him about my baby and how I died but he said that the future he went to won't happen. In addition every time Castiel stops by he always looks stressed, the search for God isn't going to well, and I always tell him to have faith and that he should keep looking.

Also I can't really go anywhere since the angels started hunting me due to the fact that I was now eighteen weeks pregnant with Castiel's child. So when the boys called me and they said the needed my help on a case, I was happy to drive over to them and give them some help. I drove for about two hours before I got to the motel where the boys were at. Sam answered the door and gave me a smile; I haven't seen him in a while so I gave him a big bear hug as soon as he opened the door.

The boys told me that they were going to the morgue where a girl had scratched her head so much that she got to her skull. We drove to the morgue and the man said she did this to herself, because there was a press on nail in her temporal lobe. Amber, the girl, was babysitting at the time when the parents came home. The husband was the one who found her dead on the couch.

Now the only thing we could do was talk to the family that she was babysitting for. We got to the house and Sam talked to the parents, Dean touched my shoulder, and pointed a to a boy who was peeking around the corner. "Whatcha lookin' for?" the boy asked us "don't know yet" Dean replied, I walked up to the kid and asked "you're Jimmy right?" he nodded his head. "So, Amber was your babysitter?" Dean asked "yes sir" the boy replied. "Yeah, most of my babysitters sucked" Dean said then added "Especially Ms. Chancey. She only cared about two things" then finished with "Dynasty and bedtime" Dean chuckled a bit but Jimmy hadn't said anything.

I looked at Jimmy and asked "did you notice anything strange when Amber was watching you?" "No ma'am." He said a little too quickly. "You sure about that?" Dean asked "I—I would tell you if I knew something" Jimmy said nervously, "I promise you won't get in trouble" I said trying to reassure him. He gave me an unsure look then pulled something out of his pocket and said "I put this on her hairbrush. I didn't know that it would do that to her, I swear" he stammered Dean and I looked at each other. Jimmy gave Dean the inching powder. "It's okay, thank you for telling me about this" I said.

Sam was done talking to the parents and we left the house. Dean showed him the inching powder and said "kid said he put this on the babysitter's hairbrush". "But there's no way that she could have scratched her brains out with just that. It's just ground up maple seeds" Sam said, "I don't know Sam but this is the only evidence we have" I told him.

Dean opened his door just as Sam's phone rang. He answered it "Yeah? ...Yeah, we'll be right there" he said opening the door and getting into the passenger's side of the car. I got in the back and drove off.

We walked up to a doctor in the hallway that was watching as a nurse brought out a stretcher with a person in a body bag on it. "What happened?" Dean asked. "The guy got electrocuted" the doctor said, "do you have any idea how?" I asked "we think maybe a loose wire, or a piece of equipment shorted out. So far, we haven't found anything" he said Sam looked at him and asked "were there any witnesses?" The doctor nodded and said, "Yeah, the guy in there, Mr. Stanley. He says he saw it, but he's not making a lick of sense. Senile." Sam said thanks and we walked into the room where Mr. Stanley was sitting.

"Mr. Stanley?" I asked immediately the guy said "It was just a joke. I didn't know it would really work" I looked back at the boys who shrugged "what would work?" Dean asked. "All I did was shake his hand" Mr. Stanley he held his hand out and showed us the joy buzzer Dean picked it up very carefully and we left, heading back to the motel.

We were back at the motel now; Dean was putting on some gloves and goggles. He looked at the joy buzzer for a moment then turned to us "you guys ready?" he asked. Sam and I put our own goggles on and Sam said "hit it, Mr. Wizard" Dean puts the buzzer near the ham but he hesitates for a second then presses the buzzer to the ham. Immediately electricity crackles and smoke is coming off from the ham. It wasn't long before the ham was almost charred. Sam and I took off our goggles we just kept staring at the ham. Dean removed his goggles and said "that'll do, pig."

Sam went closer to Dean and said "that crap isn't supposed to work." Dean looked at him and then the buzzer "this thing doesn't even have batteries" he said. I came closer and said "are we looking at a cursed object or what?" Dean whipped out his pocket knife and said, "Sounds good. Maybe there's a powerful witch in town." He carved out a piece of ham and ate it. I scrunched my nose and excused myself the fresh air felt nice. A few minutes later the boys came out and told me they were going to the store where the joy buzzer and itching powder were bought.

I was sitting on the bed looking through a book when I heard the fluttering of wings; I looked up and saw Castiel standing at the edge of the bed. "Hey" I went over to kiss him he looked more tried than usual "what is it?" I asked he shook his head "nothing of import" he said then he kissed me. "Cass I need to tell you something" I said he looked worried and asked "is everything alright?"

I told him about Lucifer visiting me in my dream, Cass was upset that I didn't tell him but he got over it. He now had his hand on my belly a smile was on his lips. He kissed my cheek and said "I have to go, but I will see you soon." "Alright Cass" he kissed my forehead and flew off. About ten minutes later the boys showed up, Dean went back to eating the ham. Sam said that there was a house surrounded by four acres of land in the middle of where all of the accidents occurred. We decided to go to the house and see if the residents knew anything.

Dean parked the car across the street, we walked up the steps to the house and Sam began to pick the lock but he quickly straighten up as the door swung open after a few seconds, and a young boy about ten standing there. "Can I help you?" The boy asked.

"Hi, what's your name?" Sam asked. The boy's face remained blank and said, "Who wants to know?" We all looked at each other and pulled out our badges. "We're the FBI" I told him, the boy grabbed Dean's "let me see that," he said. He inspected it for a second, and then returned it to Dean and then accused, "So, what, you guys don't knock?" We stayed silent for a minute but Dean avoided the question with asking "are your parent's home?" "They work" the boy said matter-a-factly.

"Do you mind if we ask you a few questions, maybe take a look around the house?" I asked "I don't know" he said "Come on. You can trust us. We're the authorities" Dean said holding up his badge again the boy opened the door and let us in. He went into the kitchen and went to the stove, which had a pot of soup heating up. Sam walked closer and asked, "What's that?" The boy turned to him and said, "It's called soup. You heat it up and you eat it." Sam chuckled and said, "I know, it's just that, I used to make my own dinner too, when I was a kid" the boy looked at him and stated "I'm not a kid"

I chuckled a bit and Sam stuttered and said "right, no, I know. I'm Robert by the way". He held his hand to the boy and he took it. "Jesse," He replied. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jane" I held my hand out to him, he took my hand and smiled. Dean picked up a piece of paper and held it up. "Did you draw this?" Dean asked Jesse. It was a drawing of the 'tooth fairy' that the boys told me about. Jesse nodded and said, "It's the tooth fairy."

Dean looked at the drawing again and asked, "So that's what you think the tooth fairy looks like, huh?" Jesse scrunched his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, my dad told me about him. Didn't your dad tell you about the tooth fairy?" Dean told him that his dad told him different stories. Jesse said that the tooth fairy isn't a story. "What do you know about itching powder, Jesse?" I asked he looked at me and told me they'll scratch your brains out then Dean asked about pop rocks and soda. Which Jesse told us will land you in the hospital.

Dean pulled out the joy buzzer from his pocket and Jesse said, "You shouldn't have that." Dean smirked and asked, "Why not?" "Because it'll electrocute you" he stated like it was obvious. Dean blinked a few times and said, "Actually, it can't. It's just a wind-up toy. It's totally harmless. It doesn't even have batteries" Jesse looked unsure and asked "so it can't shock you?" "I swear. I mean, all it does is shake your hand. It's kind of lame. See?" Dean put the buzzer to Sam's chest he flinched and I was about to scream at Dean, but Sam just stood there. Not getting burned to a crisp. I looked at Jesse who was laughing a little.

We left his house and stood in front, Dean said that whatever Jesse believed in came true like joy buzzers shocking you, and itching powder. I looked up and saw Jesse I waved at him and he waved back. "Now we need to find out how he's doing it." Dean said. We got in the car and drove back to the motel.

We discovered that Jesse was adopted and his birth mom, named Julia, lived on the other side of the state. There was no father listed on the record, so we needed to talk to his mom. We drove out to Elk Creek, found the house, and went passed the gate, and rung to doorbell. There was a small voice that said, "Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested." We pulled out our badges and put them near the peep hole in the door. After she told us to slip the badges in the mail-slot she opened the door and asked us what we wanted. I spoke first "we had some questions about your son".

"I don't have a son," She replied. "He was born in March 29, 1998 in Omaha. You put him up for adoption?" Dean said Julia looked nervous and said, "What about him?" Sam spoke up and said, "We were just wondering, was it a normal pregnancy?" Dean cut in and said, "Was there anything strange?" "Stay away from me!" She screamed and slammed the door. Dean pushed the door open.

"Mrs. Wright! Wait, we just want to talk!" She ran into a different room, and we followed her. We went into the kitchen and she grabbed a container of salt off of the counter and threw it on us. Julia looked at us and said, "You're not demons?" We looked at each other and Dean asked her, "How do you know about demons?"
