Jo and Sam both paced back and forth in the main room, waiting for Cas to get back with Dean. "He is going to be fine" Charlie said, trying to sound reassuring. "Cas will get him back here..." Charlie stopped as Cas, Dean and Benny appeared in front of them. Cas and Benny holding Dean up, dried blood on his shirt. "What happened to him?" Jo asked in a panic, realizing that Dean was unconsious. Sam ran over and took him from Cas. "Why didn't you heal him?" Jo demanded to Cas as Benny and Sam carried Dean to his room. "I did heal him Jo, but the knife that he was cut with has a poison on it. The poison just has to run it's course. He will be fine, but he has to sleep it off." Cas said looking at the ground. Jo turned and took off for Dean's room, turning around before the hallway to look at Cas "thank you for saving him" she said with a worried smile then went around the corner. Cas looked around at all of the other worried faces and took off toward his and Meg's room.

Sam and Benny laid Dean on the bed as Jo came in the room. "What did Cas say?" Sam asked, looking from Jo to his brother and back again. "he said that he will be fine, but that the blade that he was cut with had a poison on it. It has to run it's course, but he will wake up" Sam nodded as Jo turned to Benny "So what happened?" she asked, folding her arms across her chest. Sam had to smile just a little at how forceful she was. "We had killed the werewolf, it was actually really easy to find. Then out of nowhere a few demons attacked, one had a knife and slashed Dean before we killed them. Dean fought till they were all killed and then fell to the ground. I didn't even know he was hurt till then. That was when he called Cas and then passed out" Jo nodded and moved over to the side of Dean's bed, taking his hand. "Thank you Benny" Jo said. "Yes, thank you Benny" Sam said with a half smile. "Anytime, I owed him a few" Benny said as he flashed a grin and left the room. Sam took the chair on the other side of the bed and ran his hand thru his hair with a sigh. "I can stay with him Sam. You should get some rest, or go talk to Sarah" Jo said, flashing him a smile. Sam's face flushed a little. "I think it's great Sam. Sarah is amazing" Sam smiled at Jo "she really is, isn't she? I gave her the summerized version of what has happened since I saw her last and she never once judged me" Jo smiled "she is a keeper Sam" Sam nodded in agreement. "Are you sure you will be ok in here?" he said, jumping up out of his seat. Jo smiled "of course, go" Sam came around the bed and kissed her cheek "Let me know when he wakes up. I am so glad that your back and he has you" Jo looked up at him "thank you Sam" Sam smiled back and walked out of the room. Jo looked back at Dean, his hand in hers. "Let's hope he marries her some day. I love you Dean" she said softly as she kissed his hand and then held it to her cheek.

Meg slowly opened the door of their room, finding Cas sitting on the edge of the bed. He had taken his trench coat off and had it laying on the chair. Meg walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder "Are you ok?" she asked, her voice full of concern. Cas turned and looked at her "I'm fine. It just feels weird that I could not fully heal Dean. I feel like I let him down, let all of you down. I didn't do my job" Meg sat down beside of him and took his hand "You did your job. If it was not for you, Dean would still have a knife wound on his side and he would be hours away. Because of you he is safe in his bed being looked after by Jo." Cas turned and looked at her, his stomach would turn everytime he looked into her eyes. He got this feeling that he didn't understand. It hurt to keep looking at her, but all he wanted to do was look at her, touch her. He turned his gaze away from her "What is it?" she asked, taking his face in her hand and turning it toward her "It hurts to look at you. You are so beautiful" Meg flashed him a sly smile as she ran her hand up his chest "I told you before, I don't like poetry...put up or shut up" Cas turned, grabbed both of her arms and pulled her too him, kissing her passionately.
