Ch 35

Kerrie got out of a cab several hours later to see Dean sitting at the hotel bar.

'Your back quick.' He said as she frowned.

'You really think Danny and I are a thing? He's like a brother, that's just weird.'

'Give Sam a chance. If I end up dying I want at least know he'll be ok.'

'Dean, I don't think it's going to work out.'

'More dreams then?' Kerrie shrugged.

'More like family ghosts.'

'Your listening to a bunch of dead people for relationship advice.' Kerrie shook her head.

'Sam didn't tell me about Ruby. I don't trust her. She's a demon. He is one of the special children. Dean, she can be setting him up or setting up both of you.'

'Don't you think I know this?'

'That's why you want me around to babysit him when your gone?' Dean stood a long sip of his beer.

'You lost some weight and you don't look like yourself.'

'Gee thanks.' Kerrie stood up and looked around.

'I'm surprised he let you leave alone.' Dean said as Kerrie sat back down.

'Danny? He was hitting on a dumb blonde.'

'To make you jealous. He's in love with you just like Sam.' Dean put down some money for his drink as he made his way out of the bar. 'Sam's going to talk to you tomorrow?' Dean asked stopping near the door.

'We're going to an Orioles game tomorrow. Sam said he'd check in before stopping by.' Dean nodded and walked out of the hotel. Kerrie headed to her and Danny's room.

The next day the group went to the game and Kerrie was surprised not to hear from Sam. Kayte and Tony were slightly hung over but in a good mood Danny on the other hand was miserable and almost decided to sleep in instead of going to the game. When they got back to the hotel after the game Danny decided to take a nap, Tony and Kayte were going to rest so Kerrie decided to go to the beach for a bit. She changed into a bathing suit then slipped on a pair of shorts and a tank over them then headed out to the beach. Kerrie was laying on the lounge chair when she got a text from Sam.

'Are you at the hotel? I'm on my way over.' She let out a sigh and wrote back.

'On the beach, I'm not far from the cabanas.' Kerrie turned over turning to get a little sun on her back. About 15 minutes later she felt a shadow and opened her eyes to see Sam staring down at her. Kerrie sat up grabbing the bottle of water she got on her way down.

'Sit?' She said motioning to the chair next to her but Sam continued to stare. Kerrie smirked and pulled on her shorts and tank. 'Better?' She said standing up.

'Dean's right, you have lost too much weight.'

'Lovely, you two talking about me. Let's walk.' Kerrie adjusted her sunglasses as Sam followed her down the beach. 'I thought about what you told me. It's not much but I still don't trust her.'

'She helped Bobby fix the Colt and make bullets for it.'

'Sam, the fact is that she's a demon. What is she was working with Azazel?'

'Can't you trust me with this?' Kerrie turned to face Sam.

'When I thought you were gone I was a wreck. I could have been the one who made the deal to bring you back. I was seriously considering it but Dean thought and acted on it quicker. Sam, I- I love you but this path your going down with Ruby just doesn't sit right with me.' Sam had a smile on his face from hearing her say she still loved him.

'She said that she could help save Dean.'

'And has she done anything to help him yet?'

'The Colt.' Kerrie frowned.

'I never thought I'd care about someone as much as I cared about Tristian. Until I met you and you slowly broke down the wall-'

'Let's just be together.' Sam said holding both of her hands. Kerrie looked down at the sand.

'I-as much as I want to I think it's better that we don't. Your working on cases with Dean and I'm trying to do what I can to get him out of the deal.'

'Come on the road with us.' Sam said tilting Kerrie's chin to look at him. He could see tears falling from her eyes.

'I thought about it everyday. Some days I just wanted to get in the car and go but every time I think about it I can't.' Sam leaned down as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Kerrie went to pull away but Sam wrapped his arms around her and she gave in. When they moved apart they were both breathless. Sam took Kerrie's hand and put it to over his heart.

'I didn't think I was going to feel this way after Jess but then you came walking into our lives. Dean might not let Ruby help but I think this is the last chance to save him.'

'Why don't you do what you need to do and I'll keep working things in Boston?' Sam let out a sigh.

'So nothing is changing?' He said.

'For now, I keep seeing her. Sam, she's going to be there when they come for Dean.' Sam stopped and looked at Kerrie.

'Your dreaming about it?' Kerrie nodded.

'Not every night but a couple of times I have seen it. Ruby doesn't help, Sam.'

'Did you tell Bobby about the dreams?' Kerrie shook her head. 'Dean?' Kerrie shook her head.

'The dreams could be a trick to.' Kerrie backed up.

'I knew you'd say that. That's why I didn't tell anyone.' Kerrie turned walking back towards the hotel as Sam hurried to catch up to her. 'This is stupid. We should just drop the whole thing.'

'I feel the same way.' Sam's eyes widened realizing how that sounded. 'I don't mean us. I mean the whole Ruby thing.' Kerrie shook her head and walked away.
