Chapter 52 I love you too.
Dean waited until Bobby got there before he told Sam what he had done. Bobby walked in as Sam was putting Bentley to bed. Amanda, the nanny took the time off to spent the night with some friends. Sam walked into the kitchen. "Bobby, what are you doing here?" he asked. Dean and Bobby were sitting at the counter drinking a beer. "Let's sit on the patio." Dean said as he grabbed his beer and stood. Bobby and Sam followed. Once they were all sitting Dean begin. "Well, I found a way to get your soul back." Dean said. Sam looked at him surprised. "How?" Dean took a deep breath and rested his arms on the table. "I talked to Death." Sam looked at him eyes wide. "You what?"
Dean: "Just hear me out. Death said he can put a wall up. Block all the hell stuff."
Sam: "Really? Like for good?"
Dean: "Kinda, But you can't go trying to remember, or the wall falls and I'm guessing your brain is jello."
Sam smirked. "Great, and what happens when this scheme of your goes sideways?"
Bobby: "I have a question. I'm assuming Death isn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart. So what is your part of the deal?" Dean took a drink of his beer and looked away.
Bobby looked at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't hear you."
Dean looked back at Bobby. "I have to wear his ring for a day."
Bobby: "Why the hell would he want you to do that?"
Dean shrugged. "I don't know, get his rocks off. But I'm doing it." He watched as Sam stood. "Where are you going?"
Sam: "I just need to wrap my head around this." Dean watched as he walked toward the barn. He knew where Sam was going. He stood and followed him.
Sam was standing at the bench behind the bar, looking down at hole in the ground in front of the bench. Dean pulled the ring from his pocket. "Looking for this?" he asked. Sam looked up at him. "Just taking a walk."
Dean: "Sam, you are my brother. I am not gonna let you get hurt. I know what I am doing."
Sam sat on the bench. "What if something goes wrong?"
Dean sat on the bench next to him. "I won't let it."
Sam took a deep breath. "Fine"
Dean raised his eyebrows. "Fine. So your.."
Sam looked at Dean. "I'm trusting you. You're the one with the compass. Just don't screw it up."
Dean looked ahead. "No pressure, right?"
Sam smirked. "Nah, If something goes wrong, I hate to put Lexie through more than she's already been through."
Dean nodded. "I understand. I would feel the same way. But I love Lexie like I love you. I would never do this, if I thought I couldn't pull it off."
Sam stood and looked at Dean. "Then it is settled."
Dean stood as they both walked back to the patio. Bobby looked at them. "Are you girl alright?" The boys smiled. Dean opened the other beer Bobby had got for them. Sam opened his and lifted it and tapped Dean's "Tomorrow, I will play Death." Dean said as they both put the bottles to their lips.
The girls came in the house taking off their boots. They grabbed a bottle water from the fridge and Lexie went in and check on Bentley. Lexie rejoined them at the counter. "What is going on?" she asked. Then Cas appeared on the patio and sat down. Lisa stood. "I don't know. But we are gonna find out." she said as she made her way to the patio, the other two followed. "What's going on?" Lisa asked as the girl took a seat at the table. The guys all looked at each other. Dean cleared his throat. "I found a way to get Sam his soul back." Lexie smiled. "How?" she asked. "Death, I saw him today. He said he will do it." Dean said. Sam took a drink of his beer. "All Dean has to do is wear his ring for a day. Walk a mile in his shoes, so to speak." Jade glared at Dean. "When did you do this?" she asked. Dean swallowed hard. He could tell by the tone of her voice, she was pissed. "Today.?" he answered. She tightened her lips and nodded. "That sounds easy. When do you do it?" Lisa asked. Dean looked at Jade as she turned her head. "Tomorrow. I wear the ring for 24 hours. If I take it off before the 24 hours, Sam loses his soul. It can't be put back." he shrugged as he took a drink of his beer. Sam looked at Lexie. "He has to put up a wall to block the hell memories. If the wall falls, I'm done. All the memories I have regained, gone. No getting them back." Lexie looked at Dean. He nodded. She looked back at Sam and laid her hand on his thigh. "Let's do it." she said. Lisa smiled. "I agree. Mary said Death could put it back. This has to be what she was talking about." Bobby let out a deep breath. "I guess it is a go." Jade stood and walked to the bedroom. Everybody looked at Dean. "What is wrong with her?" Lisa asked. Dean shook his head. "It has nothing to do with this. Something I did." Lexie stood. "I am beat, I'm going to bed." Sam stood. "Me too, see you guys in the morning." Dean smirked. "What are you talking about? You don't even sleep." Sam rolled his eyes and walked in. Bobby was next. "Me too. Gonna be a long day." Dean took another drink of his beer and looked at Lisa. She raised her eyebrows. Dean cleared his throat, realizing she was telling him to get lost. "Me too. I have a ass chewing to get outta the way." Dean winked at Lisa as he walked back in. She looked at Cas and smiled. "I have a doctor's appointment Monday." He looked at her confused. "You don't need a doctor. The baby is strong and healthy." She looked at him. "You can tell that?" she asked. He nodded. "Yes, I can hear his heartbeat from here." She smiled and put her hand on her stomach. Then she looked back up at him. "Well, I still need to have a real doctor." She grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. Cas looked at her and smiled. "He is very strong." She looked up at him. "He?" she asked. Cas looked at her, realizing what he said. "I'm sorry." She put her hand on the side of her face. "It's fine. It would be nice to have a little boy with you gorgeous blue eyes." she said. He pressed the side of his face into her hand. She leaned and pressed her lips to his. He pulled back and looked into her eyes as she smiled. If he was unsure of what he was feeling for her. He knew now. "I love you, Lisa." he whispered. She felt tears roll down her face as she smiled. He was not the tough guy she was used to being with. There was a lot he didn't know about. He was oblivious to the real world. But that is why she loved him. Because he was so open and honest, he lack the ability to feel awkwardness, pride, or the need to be in control of his emotions. She smiled and ran her fingers across his lips. "I love you too."
Sam laid on the bed and pulled the sheet up to his waist. Lexie laid on his arm. "I knew we would find a way." she said as she smiled. Sam took a deep breath. "Lex, if this wall breaks, everything is gone. I don't know if I want to take that chance." She raised on her elbow and looked at him. "Are you kidding? This is it. Our last chance. If time runs out, the window is closed. You don't get it back." she said as she stared at him. He tucked her hair behind her ear. "And if we do it and the wall doesn't work. I don't want to put you through that." She was quiet for a minute. "You know what I couldn't take. Is not doing this. And I have to watch you slowly slip away from me. Knowing there was something I could have done. If there is a chance that this will work, and I can have you, all of you. I am with Dean, I'm taking it. If it doesn't work and I still lose you. I can look at Bentley and say I tried." she said a few tears rolled down her cheeks. Sam smiled as he wiped his thumb over her cheeks. He pressed his lips to hers. "Ok, baby." She smiled and rubbed her nose against his. "Thank you." she whispered and laid her head on his chest.
Dean stood next to the bed and took off his cloths. Jade laid on the bed on her back with her arms across her face. Dean slid into bed on his side facing her. He propped his head on his hand and laid one hand across her stomach. Pushing up her t-shirt to rub her bare belly. She didn't move and he could tell by the way her lips were tight and her jaw was twitching she was pissed. "I'm sorry." he said. She was silent. He continued to rub her belly. "I should have told you what I was doing." She moved her arm and glared at him. He could see the anger in her eyes because of the little light coming from the bathroom. "How many times in the last month have you jumped my ass for this same thing?" He let out a deep breath and let his head fall to the bed. She smirked. "Oh, I forgot. That is different because it was you who didn't know what was going on." she turned her head and looked at the ceiling. He raised his head and looked at her. "I didn't want to say anything until I knew for sure. I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up." She shook her head. "Look, I read about this doctor in my dad's journal. He specializes in helping people have a chat with death." She looked at him. "And how exactly did you get to have a chat with Death?" He smiled at her. "I sorta had to die. But just for a few minutes." Her eyes widened and she huffed as she looked at the ceiling. "You didn't feel the need to discuss this with me first. It's not just you and me anymore, Dean. We have a baby to think about." Dean laid his head next to hers. He didn't think about the baby. Which was strange, because he couldn't look at her without smiling because he knew inside this beautiful woman was his kid. "Your right, baby. I should have told you. But if I did, you would just want to come with me." he said in her ear. She turned her head to him. "And, what is wrong with that?" she asked. He raised his head. "Because, if something went wrong, I didn't want you there." He closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. He looked back at her. "Look, Jade. I know you don't need me to protect you. But that is my job. And I am gonna be protective of you. More so now. It would have been hard enough if I didn't make it back. I wasn't gonna put you through having to watch it." She stared at him, right in his beautiful hazel eyes. He was right, she couldn't take it if she had to watch him die, nothing she could do to stop it. "Don't lie to me again. And don't pull a bull shit stunt like this again. No matter what, you tell me." she said. He looked at her and gave her that sexy grin as he laid his hand back on her bare stomach. "No more bull shit stunts, got it." he said as he towered over and laid soft kissed on her lips. Then smiled as he lowered to her belly. She rubbed her hand through his hair as he kissed her belly, holding her hips. He looked up at her and smiled. "In a little more than 24 hours, Sam will be back to normal and we can cross one more thing off the list." She smiled as she rubbed his head. "Are we ever gonna get everything crossed off your list?" she asked. He climbed back up her body and rested his arms on the side of her head. Looking down at her. "Yes, I promise. We will be old rocking on the front porch talking about all the evil bastard we killed, while our son plays in the front yard." She smiled. "Our daughter." she said. He rolled his eyes. "I don't know if I would survive another Jade. You are already making me do all kinds of things I swore I would never do." She smiled. "Get ready, Dean Winchester, you heart will be breaking." He smiled and kissed her softly. "Good thing I got you to put it back together."
