Dean's POV
What the fuck! I sit up straight in bed and I can feel my heart pounding. It was just about to get me. No wait scratch that it did get me. I immediately start to do a mental check of my body. I don't think I'm injured. I look down quickly and it looks like I am fine. I'm just sitting up naked in bed. Wait I'm naked in bed? And this sure as hell isn't some roach motel this looks like a nice house. I can tell because the sheets are scratching my ass up!
I look over in the bed next to me and there is a girl with dark brown hair that is almost black sprawled out naked beside me. Her face is in her pillow so I can't see who she is but she is definitely naked and, I lift up the sheet, has one hell of an ass. I think with a smirk. Ok Winchester focus. Where are you and what is going on? I get out of bed trying to be quiet as possible so I don't wake the naked sleeping girl next to me. I throw on my sleeping pants and a tshirt that are in a pile next to the bed. So I must be staying here if my sleeping clothes are on the floor and not my jeans and tshirt. I notice that the girl's clothes are thrown all over the room. I must have been excited.
I don't recognize the house but I recognize some of my things. There are some of my shirts and pants on the floor. I head out of the bedroom and into a hallway. That's when I realize I am upstairs. I pass closed doors and head down the stairs that opens to a living room. The kitchen behind it seems a bit torn up. Maybe it's under construction? My leather jacket is on the couch and I see my car keys on a table near the door. I dig through the pockets of my jacket until I find my phone. I flip through my contacts until I find Sam's number. I know I should call Lara but Sam was with me when whatever the fuck happened, happened. I hit call and wait for him to pick up.
It only takes three rings. "Dean? Are you alright? It's like 3 in the fucking morning." Sam says into the phone. It's obvious I woke him up.
"Um Sam where are you? What the hell happened?" I hiss into the phone. I hear a woman on the other side. "Is that Jo? "I ask.
Sam starts to laugh. "Are you drunk Dean? Who the hell is Jo? I am at home. Is child bride there? "
"Who?"
Sam doesn't laugh but gets really serious. "Dean put Lara on the phone." I don't say anything back. I don't know where Lara is. "Dean I am serious get Lara."
There is a sound on the stairs and I turn around quickly ready to attack whoever is in the house with me. I relax slightly when I see Lara coming down the stairs. She's wrapped in a dark blue silk robe and her hair is sex tousled. Wait a minute that is the girl from my bed. Lara was naked in bed with me?! "Dean?" She asks me sounding exhausted.
"Put me on the phone with Lara now Dean!" Sam shouts into the phone. I don't say anything and just hand the phone over. Lara takes it and gives me a quick chaste kiss on the lips.
"Hey Samsquatch, what's going on?" I don't hear what he is saying to her but she keeps responding with alrights and ok and yeas. After a few minutes she hangs up the phone and hands it back to me. "Are you having another episode honey?" She asks grabbing my hand and dragging me to the couch.
I follow her and I sit down next to her. She pulls my head to her chest and runs her hands through my hair. "What's going on Lara?" I ask her completely confused and a bit overwhelmed.
Lara leans down and kisses the top of my head. "Honey for the last few months, since your dad died you have been having these episodes. Your therapist thinks it's your way of dealing with your dad's death. You wake up and you seem to forget where you are and you think some creature is after you. Usually after a few hours you relax and everything comes back to you."
"Since dad died?" I ask turning around to look up at her. She lowers down and kisses me softly. "Yeah honey since your dad died. Come on let's get back to bed. We both have work tomorrow." I let her guide me back to what is our room I guess and she drops her robe and I can't stop staring at her naked body. I can see even in this light that I have left some love bites on her awesome body. She smiles at me and slightly blushes. "What?" She asks me getting back under the sheets.
"Nothing, you are just so beautiful." I say throwing off my shirt and getting into bed next to her. I pull her into me and she relaxes into my chest. "Come on babe we need to get some sleep." She yawns to me. I pull her to me tighter.
"Do you need me to wake you every few hours?" I ask kissing the top of her head. She looks up at me with a confused look. "No why would you?" Her hands darts out and caresses the side of my face. I grab her hand and bring it to my face. There is an engagement and wedding band on her finger. I look down at my hand and there is a metal wedding band on my finger too.
"Um no reason. Let's just get some sleep." I say letting go of her hand. What the hell is going on? This makes no sense. What was I even hunting before I woke up here?
The sun wakes me up the next morning. That and Lara shaking me awake. "Come on Dean it's time to get up." I slowly open my eyes and take her in. She is in blue garage coveralls. They are hung low and tied around her hips. Her crisp white wife beater tucked into them. God I want her right now. Dammit Dean it's still squirt regardless of whatever world you just woke up in.
"Um Lara I hate to ask but where are you going and where do I work?" I feel ridiculous asking this but she made it seem last night that this is a regular occurrence. She frowns slightly. "I am going to work at the garage and you have to get your ass down to the bank." She flings a suit onto the bed.
"Wait you work at a garage and I work at a bank? A fucking bank?" She smiles at me and kisses my forehead.
"Yes honey I work at a garage. Remember I started working at the garage with your dad and moved in with your mom and dad. And you are my little paper pusher. I never thought I would end up with a number junkie." She says with a wink. It's like a second set of memoires starts to flood my brain. It hits all at once and I can't process them. I will have to think them through later. "Mom?" I ask my voice shaking.
"Yes you're mom. Which I am meeting for lunch today. I am going to change her oil and we're going out to lunch for her birthday. We are also going to go over the tile selections for the kitchen. Don't forget that we are going out with Sam and Jess tonight for your mom's birthday." She says it so nonchalantly but she just turned my world upside down. Mom is alive!
Lara turns around to head downstairs. "Wait Lara!" I scream out. She turns around and smiles at me. "What happened to dad?" She stops smiling and I don't think she is going to tell me. I can tell she was close to him as well. "Please Lara just remind me."
"He was in an accident. You both were driving back to his house after a night out together. You were driving when a drunk driver hit you and killed your dad instantly. You were in a coma for a few days. It was the worst few days of my life. I thought I had lost you." She says quietly. I quickly jump out of the bed and grab her in a tight hug and kiss her softly. "You can't lose me."
She smiles at me and kisses me again. "Get dressed and I'll have your breakfast ready by the time you are down." The memories come back and I remember that she had been sick on Friday and missed work. She was also not feeling great Saturday and we spent all day in bed watching horror movies. Yesterday she felt fine and we spent all afternoon and evening making love in our bed. Wow I am making love to Lara on a regular basis.
I put on the suit begrudgingly. She said I work at a bank. That seems ridiculous. But memoires start to flood me. In high school I was like a math genius or something. I went to college and even went to business school. I graduated top of my class and I make a good salary and have a really comfortable life. It's like a whole other set of skills just flooded my brain.
I head down stairs and Lara is pouring coffee in a mug for me. "Why is our kitchen all torn up?" I ask. She chuckles to herself. "Don't think I am going to let your memory lapse rob me of the kitchen you promised me." I can remember it now. This was my house from before we meet. She always said it was a bachelor's kitchen and she convinced me to build her a new one so she could really bake.
Lara hands me a plate with toaster strudel on it. "This is my breakfast?" I ask with a huge smile. She chuckles and stands up on her toes and gives me a sultry kiss. She tugs on my bottom lip with her teeth slightly and goes back down on her feet. "You know it's the closet things to pie I let you eat for breakfast. And since my kitchen is a mess it's the only think I can make."
I can't help but let my shit eating grin take over my entire face. "You are the best wife like ever. Do I tell you that enough?" Lara laughs and pours herself a cup of coffee. "Aren't you going to eat?" I ask her stuffing my face with toaster goodness.
Lara lowers her hands to her stomach and shakes her head. "I am not feeling great this morning. I just don't feel hungry. But are you doing better?" She asks me. I shake my head yes. "Ok just a small test. How did we meet?"
I open my mouth to say that I meet her when she was five years old but new memories come to the surface. "Um, well… You moved here and started working at my dad's garage. I was away on business when you came then I had a vacation so I didn't meet you until you had been here a month. Mom told me that she and dad had a young woman staying with them and I thought you were taking advantage of them. Then I meet you at the house and it was love at first sight." I can see it. I drive up to the house I am bit apprehensive to meet this girl that is taking advantage of my parents. I walk in like I own the place and she is helping my mom set the table. She looks so sad and lonely but she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She turns around and blushes when she sees me. I end up staying at home that night just to spend more time with her.
That gets a smile at out of Lara. "See honey it's coming back to you. Have a good day at work and when we get back from your mom's party I'll try to jog your memory on some other things." She says seductively.
Before I can think I spit out. "Where are Bobby and Karen?" All the seduction flees her eyes and she goes still. "I'm sorry I wasn't thinking." I spit out quickly trying to back track.
Lara puts her hand to my lips. "No it's alright. I know these mornings are hard on you, they are just hard on me too." I remember now. Bobby and Karen are her parents. They died in a house fire during the summer she graduated. That is how she ended up down here. She fled the memoires and stopped where the money ran out which happened to be Lawrence Kansas. Dad gave her a job because he felt bad for her then he realized she had mad skills at engines. Her father, Bobby, was a mechanic and she grew up with cars. She had nowhere to go and mom insisted she stay with them until she got on her feet. She had my family in the palm of her hands long before she had my heart. I now remember all the nights I have held her crying while she mourns for the loss of her parents. They were a close family and she felt lost for months without them. She just wandered the states and by a fluke ended up here. She says I was the one that put her back together but I tell her she's the one that made me whole.
I reach and grab her before she can leave and kiss her passionately. "I am sorry Lara." I mutter into her lips. I feel her smile into my kiss. "I know, I love you Dean." Then she grabs her keys and heads out of the house.
The drive to work is beyond strange. My conscious mind has no clue where I am going but there is a part of me that is propelling me forward. I just follow my instincts and it takes me where I need to go. I walk in through the front door and just follow my feet to my office. I notice a middle aged woman sitting at a desk in front of a door that is marked Dean Winchester. "Good morning Mr. Winchester! Is Mrs. Winchester feeling better?" I remember now that she called me from work and I left early on Friday.
I smile at the lady and shake my head yes. "She feels much better. Must just be a flu bug or something." She smiles at me and I head into my office and sit down. I look around the room and I am completely overwhelmed. I have an idea of what I am supposed to be doing but I am too confused to really delve in to it.
My desk is filled with things that I only vaguely remember. There is a picture of Lara and I on vacation somewhere and another one just of her. There is a phone on my desk and I decide pick it up and dial Sam's number. I am glad that hasn't changed at least. He answers in a few rings. "Hey Dean everything better today?" I take in deep breath and let out a long sigh. "That bad huh?"
"Yea Sammy it's not great. Everything is kind of blended together and I'm really confused." I hate having to admit my weakness to him but I'm really out of my depth right now. "Did talking to child bride help at all?" He asks.
"Who?" I don't get these weird nick names. Sam lets out laugh on his side of the phone. "Lara Dean, you know I call her child bride and she calls me Samsquatch." Once he says it I can actually kind of remember it.
"Why do you call her child bride?" I ask rubbing the bridge of my nose with my pointer finger and thumb. I can feel a headache coming on.
Sam laughs again and I can actually see the face he would be giving me if he was sitting in front of me. "I call her that because she was a child bride Dean. She was 17 when she started working for dad and you meet her when she was still 17. I think she told she was older though. Within a month of her turning 18, and two months of you both meeting, you took her to Vegas and eloped."
"I DID WHAT?!" I scream into the phone. The middle aged lady who I assume is my secretary turns around and raises her eye brow at me. I shake my head telling her I am fine and she goes back to her work.
"That what we said actually." Sam says with a mocking laugh. "You guys said it was love at first sight and I think the term soul mates has been dropped here and there. You both said you saw no point in waiting for the inevitable so you eloped. Mom made you guys renew your vows at a church shortly after though."
I can't believe what I am hearing. "So I married a 17 year old?" I choke out. Sam chuckles. "No Dean she was 18 when you guys got married. It was perfectly legal. I can't say if your first time was though…"
I just don't want to think about that right now. "Open your right desk door Dean. Lara has a picture book in there for mornings where you are confused. It usually helps." I open the drawer just as he said and I see a photo book. I pull it out and flip through the photos. It looks like a wonderful life. Pictures of growing up with Sammy, mom and dad, my graduation, a dog I don't quite remember, Lara and me, our ridiculous wedding photo complete with Elvis impersonator, even some current photos obviously at a recent holiday. I remember everything once I see them. This is crazy. "Listen Dean I got to go. Jess and I are just home for a few days and I need to do some stuff. I'll see you tonight?"
"Yea Sammy of course. Thanks."
"Your welcome." Sam replies and he hangs up the phone.
The photo book holds a lifetime of memoires that I kind of remember. It's really crazy. Yesterday I went to sleep and I was Dean the hunter then today I wake up and I'm Dean a normal guy. What the fuck is going on?
The morning drags on and I try to tap into my new memoires to figure out what to do at work. I seem to tap into something because before I know it I am doing work I don't even actually know how to do. At 1 pm my cell phone starts to ring and I pick it up. It says MOM in the caller id. MOM! I pick it up. "Mom? Christo." I whisper at the end.
She doesn't respond to that. "Oh honey I need you to meet me at the hospital." She says quickly I can tell she is nervous. "What's wrong mom?" I ask standing up. I throw my jacket on and grab my keys getting ready to run out the door.
"It's Lara honey. I was over getting my oil changed before lunch and she passed out. We couldn't get her awake at first and Caleb called the ambulance. We are on our way over. She is awake now but has a nasty cut and bump on her head. Just meet us there alright." I can hear Lara in the background and mom hangs up.
I look back at my secretary. "Hey Lara just got admitted to the hospital I am out." I don't give her time to respond and I run to my car. Thank god my baby made it to this world. I drive to the hospital in a daze and I know I am ignoring all kinds of traffic laws, but to be honest I dare a cop to pull me over right now. Lara is hurt. I park in the lot and run into the hospital.
It doesn't take long for the nurses to direct me to the emergency room where Lara is laying in bed in a triage room. I run to her and grab her hand kissing her forehead. "What's wrong babe? Are you alright." I ask running my free hand through her hair. She snuggles into me and shakes her head. "I think I am fine but we'll find out."
There is movement behind me and I turn around to be faced with a woman I haven't seen in 24 years. "Mom?" I choke out. She closes the space between us and gives me a tight hug. "Yes honey I am here. We just got in and they have drawn some blood and we should know soon."
I don't want to let go. I have missed her so much. "Thanks mom." I feel stupid I should say more but I can't. I feel tears building up behind my eyes. She whispers into my ear. "It's ok honey Lara told me about your episode last night. You are usually happy to see me after one." I shake my head and she kisses my forehead.
"You can go home if you want. I'll call you once we know what is going on. Don't you have a party to be getting ready for?" I tell her. She just laughs. "I will see you both later if you are feeling better. And call my once you know.'
Once mom leaves I take a seat next to Lara and grab her hand. She drifts off to sleep and I notice how tired she looks. I don't remember her looking this tired this morning. She looks so young and mortal laying in the hospital bed with an IV bag going into her arm.
I lose track of time and after awhile a young man in a white coat comes into our room. "Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Winchester. I am Dr. Reed I was the one to admit your wife. I have some test results here to go over with you. Do you want your husband in the room?"
Lara tenses up and squeezes my hand tightly and shakes her head yes. The doctor moves closer to the bed. "No need to be worried." He reassures her. A nurse comes in with a cart of equipment that I don't recognize. "Mrs. Winchester the reason you haven't been feeling well lately is that you are pregnant."
The rest of what he says blurs and all I can focus on is what he just said. Lara is pregnant. I can't seem to grasp that. I wake up in this world and Lara is my wife and she is pregnant. It's Lara squeezing my hand that brings me back to. I notice that I have a huge grin on my face. Lara is smiling at me too. "We're pregnant Dean." She says softly and puts our hands over her stomach. "We're going to have a baby." She says happily.
Come to find out the machine in the room is an ultrasound. While the nurse starts it up the doctor explains that Lara passed out because she wasn't eating enough and she is slightly anemic. He doesn't want her to go to work for a week and to just rest. She also needs to start eating more and taking vitamins. The ultra sound is finally ready and the doctor starts to check her abdomen. "Well this is a happy surprise." The doctor says. Lara and I both steal a worried glance. "Looks like twins!"
"Twins?" I say quietly looking at the screen to Lara's stomach. I can tell by the look on her face she is shocked, but in a good way, not in a demon jumped on me way. "You are about 2 months along and yes twins." The doctor prints out a couple copies of the pictures and gives them to us.
"I'll get the discharge papers and we can get you on your way home Mrs. Winchester." The doctor says leaving the room. Lara and I just stare at each other. After a few minutes we both break out into grins and I lean over and kiss her softly.
"Twins." We both say to each other and smile. After another 30 minutes an orderly shows up at the room with a wheel chair. "Do I have to do Dean?" Lara moans has I help her into the chair.
"Hospital policy sweetheart." I respond following behind them down to the lobby. I get her in the car and drive carefully to our home. I have three very precious passengers in the car with me right now. When we get home I run to her side of the car and open the door. I whisk her off her feet and Lara laughs. "What are you doing Dean?" She asks laughing while I carry her to our front door and open it.
"The doctor said you needed rest honey." I reply carrying her up the stairs to our room and laying her down on the bed. "Do you want to rest before dinner tonight? I think we totally have Sammy beat on mom's gift btw."
Lara laughs and gets under the covers. "I am actually really tired. Can you wake me up in two hours?" I shake my head yes and kiss her leaving her to rest. I go downstairs and really look at our home. The main floor is filled with family photos. How did I not see these last night? Is this real or am I losing my mind?
Mom calls while Lara is sleeping and I tell her that Lara is doing fine and we'll talk about it tonight at dinner. I go around the house trying to remember everything for the rest of the afternoon. Around 5 I go back upstairs to wake Lara up.
I slip into our bedroom and she her curled up in a ball on my side of the bed. She sleeps the same here as in the other world. All balled up and I know she likes to cuddle into me. I sit on the side of the bed and move the hair out of face and lean down and kiss her temple. She lets out a happy moan and slowly opens her eyes. "How are you feeling?" I ask.
Lara smiles and sits up and stretches. "I feel a lot better. So boss is it ok if I take a few days off work?" She asks me mischievously. I guess my face gives my confusion away. She laughs and kisses me softly while getting out of the bed. "When your dad passed away he left us the garage. I told you I just wanted to do the fun stuff like getting dirty in an engine not run the place. So you kept Caleb on and moved him up to operations manager and you are technically all of our bosses."
I follow her into the bathroom and kiss her shoulders while she slips off her robe to get into the shower. "You can have has much time off as you want. Do you want to stay home with the kids?" I don't know if we have talked about this before.
"I really don't know Dean. This happened kind of suddenly. We weren't exactly expecting kids I mean we weren't careful about it obviously but we weren't trying. Can we just see how it goes?" I shake my head yes and leave her alone to shower. Has much as I want to join her I can't seem to force myself. To the stronger part of my mind she is still squirt. The little girl that I have known since she was 5 years old.
We are the last to arrive at dinner and I am glad to see Sammy. He looks normal. Well not quite normal. He looks to happy to be normal. I give Jess a bone crushing hug. I have forgotten how much I missed her. Jess gives me a look and I know she must know about my episodes too. We all sit down and we look over the menu. No one seems to notice when we are all drinking champagne that Lara is sipping on ginger ale. I drop some holy water in the champagne bottle and no one seems to react. That's a good sign. At least I know demons are involved in whatever is going on in my head.
At the end of dinner when they bring out a cake for Mom's birthday we all hand her our presents. Mom opens Sam and Jess' first and leans over to give them both and hug and kiss when she sees that they got her a plane ticket to come visit them in California along with a day trip to a local spa. Lara and I are humming with excitement as we hand over our small package to mom.
Mom rips the paper slowly and pulls the present out slowly. She looks at it for a moment slightly confused then I see realization dawn on her face. She pulls the framed picture of our twins to her chest. "I am having grandbabies?!" She squeals out in excitement. Mom jumps out of the seat and runs over to Lara and gives her a tight hug and a kiss. I am glad to see that the silver on the frame doesn't burn her hands.
"Yes Dean and I found out today we are having twins." I can hear everyone around me congratulating me but there is a strange figure standing there stiffly at the edge of the room. I stand up and start to move over to her when Sam grabs my arm. I break eye contact from the girl for just a moment and when I look back she's gone. That was strange.
"Dean! Wow man congrats!" He gives me a tight hug and moves over to Lara. "Wow Lara babies having babies!" That gets him a playful punch in the arm.
Lara looks over at Jess and winks. "And I can only imagine how much fun Jess is going to have when Samsquatch decides to procreate." Sam laughs and we all finish our desert and ride home.
A part of me wants to stay at moms and hang out with Sam, Jess, and Mom but another part of me just wants to get home and get Lara to bed. I guess that part wins out. She was just in the hospital today for exhaustion.
On the drive home Lara keeps giving me sultry glances and reaching over and touching me softly all over. I pull the car into the driveway and all but run into the house after her. Whatever hang ups I had about being with her a few hours ago are quickly dissipating.
The moment I get in the house Lara grabs me and pushes me up against the door and starts an assault on lips. She grabs at my jacket and pulls it off and starts to loosen my tie. I reach to take off her tight blue dress that I have been dreaming about sliding off her shoulders all night but she stops me. "Not yet. I am not going to be able to wear this dress much longer…" She says with a wink.
Lara must be some kind of magician because before I know what is going on my tie is off my shirt is unbuttoned and my pants and boxers are down around my ankles. Lara is wrapped around me and it doesn't take me long to realize she isn't wearing any panties. "I want you now Dean." She moans into my ear.
God that is hot. Memories of being with her over the past 2 years flood my mind and I am harder than I thought possible. I quickly spin us around and hold her up against the door while she wraps her legs tighter around me. It feels like I have done this every night for the past two years but it also feels like the first time. I can't keep up with my emotions and I finally give myself over to them fully and plunge into her. She feels like I always dreamed she would. She feels like I belong in her. "Dean!" She screams throwing her head back into the door. I ravage her neck while I pound in and out of her.
It comes to an end to soon for me and we are both spent clinging to each other panting like we just ran a marathon. I tap into the last reserves of my energy and walk us over to the couch and lay down putting her on top of me. I kiss the top of her head and she cuddles into my further kissing my bare chest. "I love you Lara." I say into her head.
She kisses my chest one more time and looks up at me. "I love you too Dean." Then she lays her head back down on my chest.
a/n soooo…..what did you think?
