Chapter 37 – We are soulmates?

It was silent in the room, you could have heard a pin trop and everyone was looking at Gabriel for an answer to that question. But like always he does everything on his own terms and time. I swear he does it on purpose to tease us all. But I don't have the patience for his games. "Answer the question Gabriel. Are Dean and me soulmates?"

He looks at me with a big smile on his face as he answers. "Of course you are, what do you think means entwined by destiny, surly not that you met at Walmart."

Now I am stunned, but it explains somethings for me. Like that I trusted him almost immediately after I was sober. Normally I have trust problems and I know Dean feels the same way. But as we met it was like we clicked somehow. Thinking about it now, tells me it was like finding a part of my soul I didn't know I was missing.

"Wow." was Dean's reaction to that statement. For the first time since I know him I can't read him. I don't know what he wants to tell us with that. I know Dean normally hates to have a destiny, because it takes away his choices and finding your soulmate is like that. I need fresh air, without looking at the table I get up and run to the front door to clear my head. It takes me only moment and I stand on the front lawn of the mansion. My childhood home which was always like a big castle to me, felt all of a sudden like a cage. Do I ever make anything the normal way, of course not, where is the fun in that?

Soulmates are rear; there are only a few examples for such in the lore, like Helena and Paris. Because in the most cases it feels like the historians guessed such a thing, there were never prove for it. You can find a good deal about lore of soulmates. The range went from that they can bind themselves to each other to that they would either save or destroy the world. The only thing you can find in all lore sources is that in the most cases the soulmates don't find each other and that they live during the same time period. How does that work for Dean and me, ok I am immortal. But I was born over a century before him, without my immortality I would never have met him.

"Baby is everything alright?" Dean asks. I am so absorbed in my thoughts that his voice startles me. Normally my senses are better I would have heard him approaching, but it seems that at the moment every bet is off.

I turn around to face him and see insecurity in his face where is that coming from. But I didn't ask him about it, because I know he will tell me in his own time. "Yeah why?"

"I don't know the douchebag tells us that we are soulmates and you run away." he answers, but I can see that he isn't finished as he looks at the ground. After a moment he looks at me again and asks in quiet voice. "Do you have a problem with us being soulmates?"

It took me a moment to register what he is saying. Oh my God, he thinks that I don't want to be mated to him, but the truth is even if I don't understand it, I am happy about it. But I was afraid what he thinks about that. "Of course not … I thought you hated it?" I answer his question.

"What? Why?" he asks.

"Because I know you hate it, if you didn't have a choice in your life." I say.

The insecurity in his eyes is gone. I only see love there as clear as never before since I know him. "You know that I not Mr. Chick Flick, but I want to make one thing clear, that even if we are entwined by destiny, I love you unconditionally and being your soulmate only points one thing out to me that I know since the day I first met you." he makes a pause, steps to me and takes me in his arms, before he continues. "That if I should ever have you that I would never let you go."

"Really?" I ask him. I didn't know that he felt that way since day one.

"Baby, why do you believe I searched for you after you left or why I live in the house with your vampire brothers, because I can't stand to be away from you? It feels like something is pulling me to you. As of now it is because we are soulmates, but I don't care, because I love you." he said. Why didn't I think about that before today? I should have come to that conclusion without him pointing it out, because he told me how he felt after Sam left for college and that he was too proud to come with him or even visit him. I am a moron, how can I still misinterpret his feelings for me. Only insecurities can be the reasons for it, but I didn't know that I had such, but you never stop learning.

"I love you too. I feel the same way, being with you always felt like I was complete." I tell him and kiss him. I try to show him with that, how much he means to me and he does the same as he pulls me closer to him. After some moment we break apart, connect our foreheads and look in each other's eyes. I can't believe that the universe has given me this man as my soulmate, he is the best thing that ever happened in my whole life and I will do everything I can to show him that, I vow to myself while I look in to his eyes.

"So do we go back in or shell we get out of here?" he asks with a suggestive smile.

I smile at him. "Good idea, but I still have so many questions; beside we didn't finish our discussion about my past sex life."

His face gets serious again and for a moment he looks away. With a sigh he says. "Okay I am jealous. I hate to hear about you and other men." This proves it Dean Winchester still surprises me, even if I think I have figured him out.

"Ok, but after the soulmates statement you should know that in my heart is only you and nobody else." I say as I touch his check with my hand.

He nods, before he asks. "Did you catch on that Elena brought it up again every time the others changed the topic?"

So he has picked up on that. "Yeah, I think she doesn't like me, because according to Caroline my brothers aren't fighting anymore since I back in their life. That somehow doesn't sit right with her."

"Why didn't you tell your brothers that she is a bitch." he asks me curious.

"Because they have to figure it out alone and we have a bigger fish to fry."

"So right, then let's go back in."

He takes my hand and together we walk back into the dining room. As soon as we enter the room goes silent, like they don't want to miss what happens next. Everyone besides my brothers and surprisingly Caroline as well as Bonnie look as questionable. The others look like they knew that Dean and me are meant to be and didn't think about for too long. Instead of reacting at that we go back to our seats at the table and I turn to Gabriel with the question I can't get out of my head. "Would have been Dean and I soulmates without me being immortal?"

"Of course." Gabe says in a what-a-question-voice.

"How is that possible soulmates normally living during the same time period? But without my immorality I could never been his soulmate."

"Luv you are right and wrong at the same time. Your destiny was always to become immortal even if you had mad different choices you always would have ended up at Dean's side. Faith made you his soulmate the day you were born. You and him are a special case, that's why your son will be so important." he said in a serious voice, which was so atypical for him. That was new, so my life always would have ended here. I look at Dean and I see that he doesn't have a problem with that, so why should I. I only wanted to know, whether I always would have had the chance to meet him or not.

Dean smiles at me, before he looks at Gabriel and asks the other question on my mind. "What does it mean for us?"
