A/N: Sorry for the long hiatus. I have been without internet :( Hopefully I will be back to updating regularly again soon. Enjoy! Let me know what you think ppllllleeeassseeee!
It was dark. Too dark to recognize anything around her, this made her panic. She remembered putting the kids down to sleep and climbing into bed with Dean before falling asleep so she came to the first reasonable conclusion, she was dreaming. This calmed her a little, anything in a dream wasn't real, but she still wanted to wake up. The darkness was really starting to freak her out.
"Dean?" she called hoping that it would wake him which would undoubtedly wake her as well once he realized she was having a nightmare and would hopefully shake her awake.
No answer. Her heart was thumping so loud in her chest now that she thought it would burst out of her rib cage like one of those freaky aliens from the movies. She took a step forward in the darkness, thinking that if she began walking then maybe she would escape it. The minute her foot planted on the ground a light burst through the air surprising her. She brought up her hand shielding her eyes from the darkness when she saw a figure in the light. She perked up slightly, hoping beyond hope that it was Dean, but as the figure came closer and its face became clear she saw that it was Zachariah.
"What are you doing here?" she asked panic rising back into her chest.
"Relax, Raya," he said putting up his hands defensively. "I wish no harm to you, I am merely here to show you a vision."
Raya hesitated confused. "What kind of vision?"
"A vision of the future that will hopefully guide you on the right path."
Raya's face fell. "What if I don't want to see my future?"
Zachariah shook his head sadly. "Trust me, Raya. You will want to see this."
Raya nodded slowly as Zachariah stepped forward and placed a hand on her forehead. A rush of energy swept through her and she pulled away from him with a gasp. They were no longer in the darkness. They stood on a deserted street in the middle of a town that she didn't recognize. All the buildings looked run down and old, and the cars abandoned in the street looked as though they had been left there for years. She turned in a circle looking around in disbelief before her eyes fell back on Zachariah. A newspaper floated through the air caught on the wind and he grabbed it, handing it to her carefully. Turning it over to find the date she saw that it was three years into the future, and the head line printed in large letters read 'THE APOCALYPSE IS NOW'.
She jumped spinning around in a quick circle as she heard a scream pierce the air. It was the scream of a man and he was running desperately away from something toward her and Zachariah. She barely had any time to react as he barreled toward her and then passed right through her as if she were a ghost. She got a wave of motion sickness as he passed through her, making her gasp and look at Zachariah who seemed unscathed by the experience. She turned and saw the man had stumbled and fallen to the ground, his hat toppling off his head. His face was bloody and bruised as if he had been severely beaten and he ran with a limp which is what made Raya see the deep gash in his leg where he had been stabbed. He rose back to his feet with a painful groan, looking back over his shoulder giving Raya a full view of his face and she let out a shocked gasp to see that it was Bobby.
"Bobby!" she called, but Zachariah put a hand on her shoulder making her look at him.
"He cannot hear you," Zachariah said with a shake of his head. "Remember this is only a vision."
Raya frowned and jumped as Bobby let out another gargled scream. She turned to see him floating in mid air, his body rigid, his face scrunched up in pain. She could tell he was struggling against the hold and moved to help him when Zachariah touched her arm again. She turned to him angrily.
"I can't watch this," Raya shouted. "It's Bobby."
"You must," he said looking past her. "You need to see what you become."
Raya hesitated. "What I become?"
"Look who is chasing Bobby," Zachariah said pointing over her shoulder.
She turned slowly, scared to see the result and when she saw who it was she froze. It was herself, standing a few feet away, arm out as she channeled her telekinesis through her hand. There was a sadistic smile on her face that made present Raya cringe as Future Raya began walking toward Bobby. Future Raya didn't look that different, her hair was longer and she seemed to have gained some weight, but she was still wholly the same. She was coming closer and closer to present Raya and Bobby, but she assumed that Future Raya couldn't see her.
"Where are they Bobby?" Future Raya questioned through clenched teeth.
Bobby gasped and coughed as he tried to speak. "I'll never tell you."
"Where the hell is my son?!" Future Raya shouted angrily taking another step. The hand she was channeling her power through closed into a fist and Bobby let out a horrific scream. "Tell me or I'll kill you."
"You…will…kill…me…anyway," Bobby gasped between groans of pain.
Future Raya dropped her hand in irritation and Bobby fell to the ground in a heap. She walked to him quickly, grabbing him by the throat and yanking him to his feet. She forced eye contact with the dying man and Bobby cringed in fear.
"Tell me where Colton is, Bobby," Future Raya said, this time her voice softer. "And I will let you live. All I want is my son. It doesn't have to be this way."
"He doesn't….belong…with you…" Bobby groaned. "You..are a…monster."
Present Raya felt her heart sink into her chest at those words and Future Raya's face fell into a scowl. Her eyes turned the soulless pitch black of a demon and Present Raya cringed. Future Raya's hand tightened around Bobby's throat and he let out a gasp as she cut off his air way. It didn't take long before present Raya could see the light fading in his eyes as he was about to die when Future Raya let him fall to the ground. Bobby took in a deep aching breath and looked up at her in shock. Future Raya looked down at him with crossed arms and her eyes returned to the normal white with emerald green irises.
"I just want my son back, Bobby," Future Raya said almost sadly. "It's been a year, Bobby. He needs his mother."
"Well his mother is a demon," Bobby retorted with a bite to his tone. "And is the right hand man to Lucifer and the leader of the demon army. He has a pure heart that cannot be tainted by evil…and that's exactly what you are."
Present Raya flinched at the words. She had become a full blown demon and was now about to kill one of the most important people in her life. She didn't flinch again when Future Raya's eyes returned to the soulless pitch black and her hand came up. She twisted her hand and at the exact same time Bobby's head twisted with a savage cracking sound that made tears fall down present Raya's face. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. None of it made sense. She turned to Zachariah angrily and he held up a hand before she could open her mouth.
"There is more," he said.
"Raya!"
Present Raya turned and so did Future Raya both searching for the person calling her name with calculating eyes when Sam came out of an alley, a few feet back surprising her. He looked around for a moment before his puppy dog eyes fell on her and a smile spread across his face.
"There you are," Sam said with a heavy sigh of relief.
Future Raya smiled so wide present Raya thought her face was going to break. Future Raya moved quickly running the few feet to meet Sam halfway and jumping into his arms. Sam received her with a large smile, lifting her into the air as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They looked at each other with deeply loving eyes, before Sam leaned his head backward and Raya kissed him with an intensity that Raya had never seen in herself. There was fire and passion and the way that Sam held her was like he never wanted to let her go. There was no space between them and love seemed to resonate around them. The kiss lasted for a long moment until Sam set her carefully back on the ground and wrapped an arm around her before caressing her cheek with his opposite hand.
"Me and Adam have been looking all over for you," Sam said sounding concerned. "I thought the hunters had gotten to you."
Future Raya sighed and rose on tiptoe to kiss him again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry. I ran into a few hunters, but as you see I have taken care of them," she said pointing to the dead body a few feet away.
Sam frowned deeply, moving away from her to look closely at the body. When he saw who it was, his jaw dropped slightly and he turned to Raya. "Is that Bobby?"
Future Raya nodded. "Yep."
Sam's frown deepened. "Did he tell you anything or did you just kill him for the fun of it."
"He refused to tell me anything so I snapped his neck," Future Raya said non chalantly.
"Raya, you were supposed to bring him in if you caught him," Sam said angrily.
"Well he's dead now so we can bring in his dead body," she replied with a equal tone.
Sam only glared for a moment before walking back to her and taking her roughly in his arms. Future Raya struggled against his hold for a moment before Sam grabbed her chin and forced eye contact. They glared at each other for a moment and then they were kissing again making present Raya's stomach curl. They broke apart after a moment and Sam caressed her cheek.
"Don't get sassy with me, Raya," he ordered, even though present Raya saw herself as an independent woman under no one else's authority she saw that in this future Sam was the dominant one in the relationship. "I am only concerned for your welfare. You've been out three months and you finally get a hold on Bobby and you kill him before we can get anything good out of him."
Future Raya sighed. "He pissed me off alright so just drop it. How is Aubrey?"
"Beautiful as ever and missing her mother desperately," Sam replied running a hand through her hair, suddenly not angry anymore. "Come home. It's been three months. Stop this hunt. There isn't enough hunters out there to stop us anymore, and besides they are no match for us anyway."
Future Raya sighed again and turned away from him. "I can't. I want Aubrey to sleep safe at night without having to worry about hunters breaking in to kill her."
"She's constantly guarded," Sam replied shaking his head. "And besides that no one can ever harm her. She is capable of protecting herself."
"Sam, it's not only that, Dean is out there with Colton somewhere plotting to kill us."
Sam grabbed her arm pulling her back toward his body and wrapping his arms around her. "I will take care of Dean when the time comes, don't worry. And when we get Colton back he will be on our side."
"I miss him," Future Raya sighed. "We never should have let Dean get away with taking him."
"We were just listening to Lucifer's orders."
"No, Lucifer was scared," Future Raya replied angrily. "He was worried that Colton would be the one to kill him like the angel's said. He would have killed him a long time ago, if he wasn't my son and he knows that he needs me. And even now he's scared because Dean has him and the minute Dean gets a perfect opportunity he is going to use Colton to kill him. The only reason he tolerates Aubrey is because she is your daughter and she protects him. If he thought for the slightest moment we didn't have control of her he would kill her too."
"That's not true, he loves Aubrey," Sam said kissing her cheek. "And not just because she is my daughter or his body guard."
"Yeah he loves her for her power, she created a vessel for him out of thin air so he didn't have to take over your body and that was only because I made a fuss," she replied rolling her eyes. "Her power scares him, the same way that Colton's did and that's why he didn't make a fuss when Dean kidnapped him. And that's also why he showers Aubrey with gifts and anything her little heart desires, so he doesn't make her mad and turn against him."
"Okay. Enough," Sam said almost sounding angry. "What you're saying is ludicrous and I don't want to hear it anymore. You are just being paranoid."
Future Raya sighed and looked up at him almost ashamed. "I'm sorry. I've just been feeling a little…crazy. I think it's these damned pregnancy hormones," she whined touching her stomach.
Sam shook his head and leaned down to kiss her as his hand came to rest on her hand over her stomach. "Just relax for the sake of our baby," he whispered looking into her eyes. "Look I love you Arianna Mitchell and your happiness and health means the world to me so stop worrying yourself especially with my son in there."
Future Raya smiled shyly and kissed him again quickly. "I love you too, Sam Winchester."
"Now let's just get you back home so you can see our daughter and Lucifer can rest easy knowing that his best leader wasn't captured by hunters. Everyone's been worried about you. It's time to come home," Sam said with a sigh.
Future Raya sighed again as she ran a hand through her hair and nodded slowly. "Yeah, let's just get home."
Sam nodded in agreement and kissed her again. "Alright."
Present Raya watched as Sam and Future Raya disappeared into thin air. Her stomach had caved into her chest and she had watched the whole interaction with watery eyes. She was in too much shock to even begin to think of what it all meant. She felt a hand on her shoulder that made her jump and turn to find Zachariah standing behind her.
"Why are you showing me this?" she said angrily as tears fell down her cheeks.
"Because in the next coming days you will have decisions to make," Zachariah said firmly. "And this is what will happen if you make the wrong ones."
"What did I mean about the vessel? Sam being vessel?"
"You need not worry about that now," Zachariah answered. "You need to worry about yourself."
Raya wiped at her eyes. "Is it true? What future me said? Is Aubrey really Sam's daughter?"
Zachariah nodded. "That night seven months ago, two of your eggs were fertilized by two different sperm resulting in fraternal twins. One child belonging to Sam and one child belonging to Dean. You have given Dean a son, and given Sam a daughter."
Raya's shook her head. "That's not possible."
"It is possible and it is a reality," Zachariah continued.
"What do I do?" Raya questioned. "How do I tell Dean…how do I tell Sam?"
"You don't," Zachariah answered. "It is best if Dean and Sam never know. Because it was when you realized the difference in your children and you told Sam, Aubrey may be his daughter that he told you he truly loved you and started the chain of events that led up to the moment you just saw. Now you must protect your children, Raya. I will hold the angels off from trying to take them from you, but Lucifer will be after them. And he will send every demon in his command to find them."
Raya awoke with a gasp, sitting up straight in bed and startling Dean who awoke with a yelp as well pulling out the colt tucked underneath his pillow. "What?" he mumbled sleepily. "What is it?"
Raya shook her head, clutching her chest in hopes that her pounding heart would calm as she looked at Dean. "It was…just a nightmare," she answered. "A really…scary nightmare."
Dean sighed and tucked the gun back under his pillow. "Oh," he mumbled sleepily. "You scared me woman."
"I'm sorry," she said kissing his cheek as he lay back down. "I didn't mean too."
He mumbled something in return and pulled the covers back over him as she climbed from the bed and walked quietly over to the playpen. Both twins were sleeping peacefully, heads turned to face each other as they breathed evenly at the same time. Raya leaned closer studying both their faces, trying to find some differences between the two infants which would give her a clue to whether the dream was real or not, but could find none.
Turning with a sigh she looked at Dean who had fallen right back to sleep on the bed. She didn't know what to expect from him, she would never think of telling him about her dream. She would never be able to tell him that not only would she betray him, but also his brother and the little girl he believed to be his daughter. That kind of heartache would devastate him on a massive level that she couldn't stand to see. But at the same time future Raya had looked so happy and carefree in Sam's arms it made her wonder just what it was about Sam that would make her that happy.
She sighed again running a hand through her hair as she moved around the bed and opened the bedroom door quietly slipping out. The hallway was dark, but she had spent so much time at Bobby's house that she could easily make her way into the living room. Bobby had put her parents and Alex up in the other spare bedroom leaving Sam and Adam to sleep in the living room. Raya could tell the difference between the two sleeping giants immediately, Adam was sprawled across the couch while Sam lay curled up on the floor.
She tiptoed across the carpet, kneeling beside Sam before placing a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Sam? Sam?" she whispered.
He opened his eyes slowly and looked at her sleepily. "Raya?" he said sitting up quickly. "What's wrong? Where's Dean?"
"He's asleep," she whispered looping her hair behind her ears. "But umm I was wondering if we could talk?"
Sam hesitated, but nodded slowly. "Yeah…sure."
