Michael has Adam. Chapter 48

Dean made it back in the house with Cas. Jade looked up at him, she could tell he was still pissed. "Well?" she asked. But before they could answer she grabbed her head. The pain in her head was so intense. Bobby grabbed her to keep her from hitting the floor. He eased her to the floor. Dean sat next to her. Adam was sitting in the white room, Michael talking to him. The pain got worse as she focused to hear what they were saying. "This was suppose to be Dean's destiny. But he refuses to do it. But if you say yes, I promise you and your mother will be happy together. Your own little peace of heaven." Adam looked up at him, "That's it. I just let you take control and when we are done, me and my mother will be together. Safe." Michael smiled and nodded. "That's it. No strings, not loopholes." Adam nodded. "Yes, I will do it." Jade slowly opened her eyes as she heard Dean calling her name. "Jade, baby, open your eyes." She opened her eyes slowly, trying to clear the fog from her mind. She looked around at the four of them looking down at her. "He said yes." she whispered. Bobby pushed the hair from her face, "Who said yes?" She swallowed, "Adam, he said yes to Michael." Dean looked at Cas, "That is what he wanted with him." Cas nodded, "We have to stop this." Lexie looked at Dean, "What is it?" Sam grabbed her shoulders, "Take Bentley and feed him. Give us minute." Dean handed Jade a glass of water as Bobby helped her to sit on the sofa. "What are y'all not telling us?" she asked Dean. He looked at Bobby the back at her. "Give us a minute. Just relax." Bobby and Dean followed Sam outside.

Dean paced on the pier. "I don't think there is a way around this." Sam leaned on the rail as Bobby sat on the bench. "We have to tell them. They are gonna find out sooner or later." Sam said. Dean clenched his jaw, "Later, would have been nice. Or maybe never." Bobby looked up at them, "We haven't found another way to stop this. We should have went ahead with it. Dean, you should have said yes. Sam so should you. Now we have to figure out how to get Adam out of this." Sam looked at Dean, "This is the only way. We both say yes. Get the other ring, I can hold him in. Once I jump in, you close the hole." Dean looked out over the water, "What about Lexie and Bentley? If we do this you are not coming back." Sam looked at the house, "Do you have another plan?" Dean looked at Bobby then at Sam and nodded. Sam ran his hand through his hair, "Then it is settled. Now we find out how to use the rings. How are we gonna open the pit and close it back up once I am in." They all nodded and Bobby stood and walked back into the house. Sam sat on the bench and took a deep breath as Dean stared out over the water. "I need you to do something for me." Sam said. Dean looked at him, "We don't have to do this now." Sam shook his head, "Yeah, we do. When this is over I need you to come back here. Have a normal life with Jade. Get married, have babies. I need you to help Lexie raise Bentley. Make sure he knows I loved him. I would do anything for him." A tear rolled down Dean's cheek as he shook his head. "Sam, it may not come to this." Sam stood, "We both know that it is. Just promise me." Dean shook his head and Sam hugged him. They pulled apart and gathered their selves. "Now, let's get this over with." Sam said as he patted his shoulder and they walked back toward the house.

Lexie walked back to the den where Jade was staring out the open door at the men. "What is going on?" Lexie asked. Jade shook her head, "I don't know, but I don't like it." Jade had been research sibling rivalries in the bible. Cain and Abel, Esau and Jacob. This reminded her of what was going on now. It worried her. Especially since there was no way out of it that could be found. "Something tells me, they are not gonna tells us that they know how to stop this." Jade said as they watched the boys walk back to the house. "I am beginning to think the same thing." Lexie said as they sat back on the sofa. Jade looked over at Bobby standing in the kitchen, "Are you gonna tell us what is going on?" Bobby raised his eyebrows and looked at Sam and Dean as they walked back in. Jade and Lexie looked up at them. "We need to have a coming to Jesus meeting. I want to know what the hell is going on." Jade said looking right at Dean. Dean smirked and looked at Sam, "Funny you should say that. We need to talk." Sam sat on the coffee table in front of the girls as Dean and Bobby stood behind him. Sam took a deep breath and began. "We have been searching for a way to lock the devil back in the cage. Even before we got the third ring. We haven't found one. The plan was if we didn't find a way, I would say yes to Lucifer and Dean would say yes to Michael. The rings somehow opens the door to the cage and I am going to jump in and Dean is going to lock him up and hide the rings. But now, Michael has Adam. So, the plan is….." Jade shook her head and stopped him, "No no no. Don't even think about it." she looked up at Dean. "Jade, we have nothing else. It is either this or Lucifer takes over. Hell on earth literally." Jade stood and paced the room as Lexie looked at Sam. "That means you don't come back. You are lock in the cage." she said as the tears rolled down her cheeks. He put his hands on her knees, "Baby, I have to do this." Lexie looked at him, "And what about me and Bentley? Did you even think about us?" She stood and he grabbed her arm, "You and him are all I have thought about. That is why I have to do this. I am the only one that can do this." She jerked her arm and clenched her jaw, "I am not letting you do this. Find another way." She walked upstairs to the bedroom. Back against the door. She slid to the floor holding her face in her hands, sobbing.

Jade looked at Dean, lips clenched, arms folded over her chest. "You have been planning for this the whole time." Dean ran his hand over his face and shook his head. "We didn't want it to come to this. But now they have Adam. They have left us with no choice." Tears rolling down her cheeks, "You always have a choice. You just always choose for one of you to be the hero." She turned to the stairs. Dean called her name. "Jade." She didn't hesitate, climbed the stairs. She need to be with Lexie.

Bobby looked at the boys and raised his eyebrows, "That actually went well." Dean smirked as Sam walked outside. "No, you can bet they aren't going to let it go that easy." Dean made his way to the fridge and grabbed a beer. Bobby looked at him, "It is 10 am." Dean smiled and took a drink, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere." And walked back to the den, sit on the sofa. Sam walked back in and made his way upstairs and stood outside the bedroom door and waited for Jade to come out.

Jade sat on the floor with Lexie, holding her while she cried. "Every time we turn around, it's something. Why is it we can never have one good thing and they rip it away?" Jade rubbed her back, "I don't know. We are just crazy as hell. We knew what falling for a hunter would bring. But we did it anyway. Eyes wide open." Lexie looked at her, "How did you do it?" Jade looked at her. "What?" "Keep from just ending it. When Dean went to hell." Jade took a deep breath. She wasn't in love with Dean when he went to hell. Yeah, she missed him. But nothing like what Sam and Lexie have. "I did. I just hid it well. And we were not together. You and Sam are different." Lexie looked at her, "I can't let him do this." Jade smiled, "Then we are gonna have to find a way to stop it." They heard Sam tap on the door. "Lexie, can I come in?" Jade smiled at Lexie. "I will take Bentley." Jade stood and pick Bentley up from the crib. Lexie opened the door as Jade walked out. Sam kissed his forehead then shut the door as Jade walked out.

Dean was sitting on the sofa drinking a beer as Jade laid Bentley next to him and changed his diaper. "You are a natural at that." he said smiling. She rolled her eyes. "Not happening." He rested his arm on the top of his head and looked at her as she pick the baby up. "If you have a better idea. I am all ears. The last thing I want is to lock my brother in the pit with the devil." She laid Bentley on her legs, "I am not so quick to give up. If there is a way, I'm gonna find it." Dean leaned and kissed her, "I know, trust me I know."

Lexie stood in front of the window looking out over the water as Sam sat on the bed. Arms resting on his thighs, head hung. "Lex, the last thing I want to do is leave you and Bentley. This is the only thing I have ever wanted. Normal. You and Bentley. I have never loved anyone as much as I love you and Bentley. I never knew it was possible to love someone as much, until I held Bentley. It has always been just me and Dean. Our job was all we knew. Then you came along. Now everything I do is because of you and Bentley. If we don't do this. Bentley is never going to have a real life. We will have to go into hiding. Everybody and every evil thing on the planet is going to be after him." Lexie looked back at him, "Why?" He stood and put his hands on her shoulders, "If I say no. He is the next best thing. He is my blood. Just like with me. Lucifer will not stop till he has him. I say yes, Lucifer is in the pit. You and especially Bentley are safe." Lexie shook her head, "I am not gonna just let you do this if there is a way out of this. I am gonna find it. I did not go through all this to lose you like this. I made it through Ruby, I am not letting go now." Sam smiled and softly kissed her lips. He wiped the tears from her face. "One day at a time." he whispered.

Jade stood and laid Bentley in the playpen. She turned and looked back at Dean as he sat up on the couch. "What is Lexie suppose to do? Raise Bentley by herself? Is that fair. I forgot we don't get fair. You and Sam make the decisions and we have to deal with the consequences." Bobby sat in the kitchen listening. She was right. But what choice did they have? Dean ran his hand over his face. "This was so much easier when it was just me and Sam." Dean said queitly. She looked at him, "Sorry, we complicated your life. It would be easy for you. Lock Sam in the pit and go on hunting. Carrying on with your self loathing, finding another way to make your life miserable." He shook his head, "That's not what I meant." She shook her head, "Well, it's to late for going back. If I knew this was going to happen..." He stopped her, stood. "What Jade, you would have what? Not got involved, stayed away. I tried that. I always got pulled right back to you." Jade squinted her eyes, "I tell you what, there's the door. Don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out." Bobby watched as she walked out the door. Dean clenched his fist and mumbled. "Son of a bitch." "If you thought before you spoke, this wouldn't happen." Bobby said. Dean watched as she sat on the peir, feet dangling in the water. "Not with her. She knows just what button to push. And she does it."
