Wow...last chapter got alot of reviews...THANK U TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED... :))))

I slowly felt my knees give out as the Winchesters' screams rang throughout the room. I collasped to my knees as I saw Dean run over to me. I glanced around the room to see Kimmy, in the corner, tears pouring out of her eyes.

Suddenly my breath shortened, as the searing hot pain started to kick in. I felt Dean's arms wrap around me as my head fell against his shoulder.

"Gabby...Gab!" He yelled to me as I slowly looked up at his tear-filled green eyes. Tears started to pour out of my eyes.

"D...Dean," I breathed out as the coughing started. I felt blood seep out of my mouth as it became a lot harder to breathe.

"Jesus Gabby, stay with me baby," Dean cried as he held me in his arms. "DOCCCC" he cried out as I saw Dr. Lee rush over.

"Breathe Gabby," I heard Sam say from the left of me. Since when did he get there? I felt him apply pressure to the shot wound as extreme agony hit me.

I screamed in pain as the pressure increased. "Keep pressure on the wound!" I head the doctor order. Things started to get fuzzy.

"She's losing blood fast," Pam told the doctor.

Tears made their way to my eyes as I comprehended what could happen. I did not want to die. I did not want to leave Dean, Sam, or my father behind.

I felt like I was out of breath. I tried to breathe, but I kept inhaling blood.

"Gab...don't you die on me, Princess," I heard Dean as he choked through sobs.

I looked up at the man above me. "D...Dean..I...lo...love you,"I told him, it could be the last time I ever told him. I needed to hear him say it back.

Dean's eyes widened, as he understood. His face hardened, "Don't you give up, Gabriella. Don't you dare," he ordered as his arms tightened around me.

I bit my lip as the pain increased. "Don't leave me, Gabby," I heard him beg as I started to become light-headed.

My vision became blurred, "Pl..please…just ss..say it."

I saw tears pour out of his eyes as he spoke in a pained tone.

"I love you, Gabby."

'Wow..I can't believe we are actually going to get to see the beach, Gabe," an eight-year old Gabriella Ignacious exclaimed.

Gabriel Ignacious smiled at his baby sister. He loved it when she smiled. It made his job worth every drop of blood.

"I know, Gab…I'm excited too," he said as he tightened his hold on his sister's hand.

The two siblings were waiting outside their motel room for their father to pick them up. It was an off day. Michael made it rule when he brought his kids hunting. They would always have an off day when they would partake in regualar activities and allow them to feel like a normal child.

Gabby saw her father pull up in his black mustang as she started to jump up and down in excitement.

"Buckle-up, Gabby," her father ordered as she got into the back seat.

"Aye Aye, Captain," She stated with a salute, which brought a smile to Michael's face.

Little Gabby Ignacious bounced in her seat the entire ride to the beach.

"We are here!" She exclaimed as he hopped out of the car. "Stay with us, Gabriella," Michael told his young daughter.

"Yes Daddy," a soft voice answered him.

"Come on, Gabe…" the young pig-tailed girl ordered as she grabbed her older brother's hand and pulled him towards the water.

Michael sat back and watched his two children. They were beautiful, a sight for sore eyes, his reasons for breathing. He looked up to sky, wishing his wife were alive to see them. But he knew…he knew that somehwere far away she was watching over.

"What do you think of the dance, Gab?" Matt asked his homecoming date. Fifteen year-old Gabby glanced around the decorated gym; Streamers and lights blossumed the ceiling, fake railings and steering wheels covered the wall. The dance was Titanic themed.

Gabby raised her eyesbrows and shrugged her shoulders, "Ehhh...it's alright I guess."

Matt looked at her with wide eyes as he spoke, "Are you kidding? My brother says this is the best dance that North Lincoln High has put together in years."

Gabby smiled and nodded. "I guess your right, Matt," she said, trying to keep her date happy.

Gabby turned around looking a particular. She scanned the dance crowd, hoping to find her favorite green-eyed Kansas boy. She let out a frown as her efforts became useless.

"I'm gonna use the bathroom, Matt," Gabby told her date as she trotted past the gym stairs. She round the corner to the bathrooms and stopped dead in her tracks. There pressed up against the wall was Kerry Kensington and Dean Winchester in the middle of tonsil hockey. Gabby felt a pang in her chest has she watched them. She had been inlove with Dean for years. Seeing him with anybody else hurt like hell.

"Oh hey Gab," she heard Dean greet her. She was surprised that he actually came up for air.

"Hey Dean," the blonde hunter answered.

Dean gazed at her with his longing green eyes. She looked so beautiful to him tonight, with her beige dress hugging every curve on her body. Gabby was not skinny or fat by any means. She had an ass, one Dean's favorite asset about her. She was not stick thin; she had muscle, especially with all the hunting. She had a small upper body with a medium lower one. He could not believe how hard he had fallen for her, the younger sister of his best friend. Of course, nothing could be acted upon. She was fifteen and he was eighteen. Not to mention, Gabe would casterate him. All he could was watch out for her.

"Are you okay, Gab" Dean asked her as his eyes pried her.

He saw her nod. "Yeah, just making sure you're still alive," she said, trying to keep herself emtionally strong.

He saw her walk off as his date called for his attention. This was his distraction from Gabriella Igancious.

Gabby walked back off into the gym and found Matt.

Matt was a good-looking young man. He was a football player, cofidence was embedded into his soul. He was just enough. This was her distraction from Dean Winchester.

"Hey, I was starting to think you got lost, Babe," Matt told her as he grabbed her hand. Gabby just rolled her eyes as Matt led her to the dance floor. He was a total tool.

She felt him pull her against him as his hands tightened around her back.

"You look really hot tonight, Gab," Matt told her as he looked down to her cleavage.

"Thanks," Gabby said sourly as she continued to sway to the music.

"You know, I did buy you dinner tonight…" Matt stated as he raised his eyesbrows.

Gabriella scrunched her brows, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that maybe I can get desert from you," He said as one of his hands creeped down to Gabby's backside.

Gabby looked at her date as her eyes went wide. "That's not happening, Matt," She told him sternly.

Matt paused as he stopped dancing. "Oh come on..you know you want me," he said.

Gabby looked at him in disgust. "No, I don't."

"Fine, you're on your own then. I'll go find Josie..at least she'll put out," Matt stated angrily as he walked away.

Gabby just stood there in the middle of the dance floor, still in shock. All the neighboring couples just stared. Tears of embarrassment started to make their way into her eyes as someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Gabby turned around to see Dean with his hand out.

Gabby smiled as she took his hand. "Thanks Dean," she said as they started to sway to the music.

"Antime, Princess. Told you that guy was an asshole," Dean said as he looked in the eyes. He had tried to warn her before about Matt. But she wouldn't listen. She deserved so much better than Matt.

"I know, I should have listened," she told Dean as she looked down.

"Its over," he told her as he pulled her closer. He loved having her in his arms. In there, he felt like she was all his. No one would ever hurt her.

"Where's Kerry?" She asked as she bit her lip. Dean groaned as he saw her do this. That was one her habbits that he loved. It made her look so innocent and vulnerable.

"Who cares…I have the most important person in my arms right now," he told her with a smile. Gabby's heart fluttered as she laid her head on Dean's shoulders as they continued to dance.

If only they could stay like this forever, she thought to herself.

Dean looked at the woman in his arms. If only she could stay there forever.

"Little fireball, isn't she?" A nineteen yeah-old Gabriel said as he sat down on the porch next to his best friend.

Dean let out a smirk as he watched Gabby and his little brother engage in a wrestling match in Bobby's yard.

"Yeah, she is…" Dean answered never taking his eyes off Gabby.

Gabriel laughed as he looked at he looked at his younger sister. "I can't believe she's fifthteen already…"

Dean smiled, "I know…it feels like yesterday she was bouncing around in pig-tails." Eighteen year-old Dean imagined what Gabby would look like now if she had her hair in pigtails. He suddenly groaned to himself thinking of her in a naughty little school girl outfit, her hair in soft little braids.

"Dean…Dean…" He heard Gabe call his name.

Dean shook his head, trying to get the image out of his head. "Yeah, man…sorry just zoning out."

Gabe smirked. He always knew Dean harbored feelings for his baby sister. Everybody but Gabby knew.

"Dean, can I ask you for a favor?" Gabe asked, suddenly becoming serious.

Dean turned to look at his friend, "Yeah...man...you're like a brother to me…I'd do anything for you."

Gabe softly smiled as he glanced at his baby sister. "If anytime happens to me, promise that you'll watch out for Gab."

Dean's eyes became wide as he took in what Gabe said.

"Gabe, don't say that.."

"No Dean… in this line of work...there can be no loose ends…just promise me that you'll take care of her," Gabe said as he looked his best friend in the eye.

Dean just took a gulp and nodded. "I promise."

"Gabby."

Beep

"Gab"

Beep

Beep

I opened my eyes as a bright light hit me. Oh shit, please tell me that isn't what I think it is.

My eyes squinted as lamp shown above me. I let out a quiet relieved sigh. I wasn't dead, at least I didn't think I was. I tried to sit up, expecting a shit load of pain to hit me. But when I moved I felt nothing.

"Gabby," I heard a deep voice next to me. My head turned to the right of me see a very worn and tired Dean Winchester. His eyes were deep red, as if he had been crying.

"Dean." I breathed out he immeadiatly stood up and wrapped his strong arms around me. I buried my head in the crook of his neck and inhaled his familiar scent. I felt tears hit my neck as I realized Dean was crying.

He suddenly pulled back as he looked at me. His green eyes were teared up and shining. His hand ran up my cheek as he took in my features. It was funny how someone so rough could be so gentle.

His lips then found mine as his hands ran through my hair. His tongue soon was begging for entrance, which I definetly obliged. The kiss sudden became passionate as Dean started to devour my mouth, as if there was no tomorrow.

"I didn't think I'd be able to do that again," he told me softly as he pulled away.

"Gabby!" I heard as Sam rushed into the room. His strong arms engulfed me. As he pulled away, I looked at the two Winchester brothers for answers.

"What happened?" I asked.

Dean looked at me and then looked down.

"You were shot…" Sam stated with sadness. My eyes went wide as everything started to come back to me; croatoan… the doctors office…Mark…KIMMY.

My face rose immeadiatly as I spoke, "Kimmy." Please tell me shes okay.

"Shes fine…shes in the corner over there…" Dean stated as he pointed to the end of the room. I glanced to the direction he was pointing as I saw a sleeping girl in the chair. I let out a relieved sigh.

"Are we still at the clinic in town?" I asked glancing around the room. This didn't look familiar.

Dean just shook his head, "We at a hospital in the next town."

I processed the information as my eyes went wide. "What happened? How did we get out?"

Sam pulled up a seat next to Dean and shook his head. " We don't know. Everybody infected just…dissappeared."

"Just like the Roanoke Colony," I stated softly as both Winchesters nodded.

"Gab, you're up," Dr. Lee said has she walked into the room with a file.

I smiled at the woman. "Yeah."

Then I realized that no one had brough up the shooting. I looked around to see Dean just staring up at me and Sam, who had his head in his hands.

I took a gulp as I began to speak, "I mean it's not that I'm not grateful to be alive, but if I remember right…I was shot straight in the stomach. How the hell am I alive?"

Everybody in the room looked down. I glanced down at Dean as my heart stopped.

"Dean, please tell me you didn't," I asked in a small voice.

Dean's head shot up as I spoke.

"Do what?" He asked in confusion.

"Make a deal."

Dean looked down and let out a small laugh as my heart stopped. "I was gonna... was gettin' ready to head over to the crossroads…Sam didn't even try to stop me…I was halfway out the door when…" he suddenly stopped.

I furrowed my brows. "When what?"

Both boys said nothing.

"When what?" I asked firmly.

"When you just…healed," Dean answered as his eyes met mine. I became confused. What the hell?

"What do you mean, I just healed?" I asked still in disbelief.

I heard Dean let out breath before he continued, "I mean, like you full on Wolverine healed."

My eyes became wide. "It's really quite a miracle, Gab," Sam added in.

"There are no miracles without a price, Sam. You know that," I told him still in shock.

"You were bleeding to death, Gabby… there was no possible way you could have survived," Dr. Lee stated.

I quickly pulled up my hostpital gown to see…nothing. No wound or scar on my lower abdomen.

To say I was freaked would be an understatement.

"Whatever it is…we are not going to mess with," Dean said in a stern voice.

"Dean" I argued. I needed to know who or what did this.

"No Gabby…You're alive, that's all the matters," he said as I saw Sam nod his head in agreement.

Three hours later, I was discharged and Kimmy was safe at home with her parents. Dean decided that we all needed a beer after the recent events. I could not have agreed more. We parked on the side of the road overlooking a river. We were all leaning against the fence, sipping on a beer.

"You want to tell me what the hell you were talking about?" Sam asked his older brother.

"What do you mean?" Dean asked.

"What do I mean? I mean you said you were tired of the job. And that it wasn't just because of Dad," Sam stated back harhsly, needing to know answers. Believe me, he wasn't the only one.

"Forget it," Dean said as he turned to look at the river.

"No, I can't. No way."

"Come on man, I thought we were both going to die, you can't hold that over me," Dean recalled to his younger brother.

"No, no, no, no. You can't pull that crap with me, man. You're talking," Sam told Dean.

"And what if I don't?"

"Then I guess I'll just have to keep asking until you do."

"I don't know, man. I just think maybe we ought to... go to the Grand Canyon," Dean said with a sigh. I smiled, I knew deep down inside Dean wanted a normal life.

"What?" Sam asked, clearly expecting a different answer.

"Yeah, you know, all this driving back and forth across country, you know I've never been to the Grand Canyon? Or we could go to T.J. Or Hollywood, see if we can bang Lindsey Lohan," Dean stated. I just lauhged. Yeah, like he would have a shot at Lindsey Lohan.

"You're not making any sense," Sam told him.

"I just think we should take a break from all this. Why do we gotta get stuck with all the responsibility, you know? Why can't we live life a little bit…hell Gab, almost died. I'm not willing to risk her life again," Dean almost yelled.

"Why are you saying all this?"

Dean just shook his head and turned away.

"No, no, no, no, Dean. You're my brother, all right? So whatever weight you're carrying, let me help a little bit," Sam told his older brother.

"I can't. I promised."

"Who?"

"Dad," Dean answered as both our eyes became wde.

"What are you talking about?" Sam asked in a confused tone.

Dean looked down and then spoke, "Right before Dad died, he told me something…He told me something about you."

"What? Dean, what did he tell you?" Sam pried on.

Dean looked up at his younger brother as I became rigid. "He told me I if I didn't watch out for you…I would have to kill you."

My eyes became wide as Sam just stood there in shock

"I'm never going to let you out of my sight," Dean told me as he wrapped both of his arms around me. I was sitting on the hood of the impala as Dean stood inbetween my legs. We both decided to give Sam some time alone to process his new information.

I gave him a small smile as I placed my lips on his. Like I said earlier, I could never get tired of Dean's lips.

"I thought I lost you," he whispered as he placed his forehead against mine. I felt his arms tighten around me, the smell of his leather jacket invading my senses.

"I'm here…that's all that matters right now," I told him as I ran my hand softly through his hair.

"I love you… I know I don't say it a lot…but I love you so goddamn much, Gab, it almost hurts when I'm not touching you," his deep voice confessed.

I softly smiled as I kissed him again.

"I'll always love you," I told him as I leant my head into his shoulder.

"I would sell my soul a thousand times over to save you, Gab." Dean spoke more to himself than to me.

I closed my eyes as tears started to fall.

"Let's hope it never comes to that."
