After Sam finished telling the story everything went silent, except for the chirping of crickets. That was until Dean finally couldn't take the stillness any longer.
"So, she just woke up in pain?" the oldest Winchester asked his little brother,
"Yeah" Sam responded, not taking his eyes off the floor.
"Did you even check to see if anything was wrong in the room?"
"No, I didn't have time. I was more worried about Jessica and the baby's well being" Sam replied back, while wiping tears away.
Dean looked up at Melinda, who had been quiet during this whole conversation.
"So, how did you know there was sulfur in the bedroom?" He questioned the young woman.
For a while there was no response. After a few minutes Mel broke the silence to respond.
"That night, after visiting hours were over Leslie and I went over to the apartment and we checked the bedroom. We looked everywhere then I went over to the window and found the sulfur. That's how I knew a demon had been in the room." She said, while trying to keep her emotions in check.
Dean looked back at his brother, who continued to look at the ground and refused to glance at them.
"Sammy, you know we will find answers to why a demon did that, right?" He asked him
At last Sam lifted his head and looked at them.
Nodding he replied, "Yeah, I know and this also proves something."
"What does this prove?" His friend and brother wondered at the same time, concerned by Sam's words.
"No matter what we want, we can never have it, because our past always finds a way to catch up to us. Just look at the fine way it went here. I thought going away to college and leading a normal life would work for me, but it didn't." Sam answered.
No one knew what to say to this, so they sat in silence, until Mel let out a shriek. Turning to see what caused the outcry, they saw Stella standing there.
"Stella, next time warn someone that you are here, you gave me a fright!" Mel scolded.
"Sorry about that, but I came out to get Sam and I just couldn't help myself" the teenager replied with a big smile on her face.
"What do you need me for Ella?" Sam asked, calling her by her nickname.
"Gracie woke up and is asking for her Dada."
"Ok, I'll be up in a minute, can you stay with her till I get there?" He asked Stella .
"I'll gladly stay with her till you get in." She smiled and walked back inside, banging the screen door in the process.
"Well, I should be getting inside now before Gracie gets more upset." Sam started to get up, when Mel remembered something and spoke up.
"Oh, before you go I have some information. I already told Bobby, so now I need to tell you two, also."
"What is it, Mel?" Sam asked, sitting back down on the stairs.
"Well ummm Jessica parents are coming down for Christmas vacation to spend time with Gracie. My sister called me, while we were on that case." Mel looked at the boys and waited for them to say something.
"They are coming here, to Bobby' house?" Dean asked, after she finished talking.
"Yeah, plus Leslie and my sister are coming as well. So it will be kind of a full house and Bobby is ok with it, but he needs our help to hide anything hunter related." Mel informed them of what needed to happen before the Moore's arrive
"We definitely need to hide a lot of stuff. Christmas is in 2 weeks, so things need to be put in order fast." Dean looked at his brother, who was all quiet during this, "You ok, Sammy?" He asked, concerned for his baby brother
"Oh yeah, I'll be fine, I'll just head in now, so good night to you both and see ya in the morning." Sam got up and walked up the porch steps. Entered the house, he allowed the screen door to slam shut with a loud noise.
The two others remained quiet until Mel broke the silence, "I don't think he is fine. Sam is still hurting, I know that much, its hard losing a love one, but someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with is even tougher" She said while looking at the sky.
"I realize Sam is still hurting, it's been only been a month since Jessica died. He isn't going to be fine for a while, believe me I know." Dean could understand what Sam was going through, their dad had never been the same after their mom died.
"Well good night Dean, I'm heading inside too, it's getting a bit chilly now."Mel stood, but felt a tug on her wrist and looked down at the young man.
"Thanks for being there for Sammy, when I couldn't" Dean gave her a smile, before letting go of her wrist.
"You're welcome, Dean" She went up the stairs and walked inside the house to her room. A few minutes later Dean followed suit and went to bed after checking first on his niece and baby brother
