Chapter 56
Dean and Jo drove the tablet straight to Kevin. Sarah and Sam stayed another day in New York. She had never been on the road this long before and needed to help her father with a few things at the business. Her cousin Greg had recently joined the staff because Sarah was on the road so much. He was a perfect fit for her father's world as well as the one Sarah had become a part of. He had some magical artifacts locked safely away for Sarah to move to a safer location and even more for her to dispose of.
When he was handing them off to Sarah and Sam was taking a load to her car Greg asked her, "Are you planning on being permanently on the road?"
Sarah blushed and looked down.
"As long as Sam needs me," she replied.
"How long do you think that is going to be?" Greg continued to tease.
"I am not sure, and don't you dare ask him either," she said with a glare.
Sam closed the trunk of Sarah's car. The last six weeks with her had been the best of his life. For the first time in years in he felt like himself. He wasn't snapping at Dean because of his own doubts and imperfections. He leaned on the trunk and wondered how different life would have been if he wouldn't have avoided her for her protection. With her support and love, his life could have been completely different. He had never really stopped thinking about her but he didn't think she would want to have anything to do with him after how he had abandoned her. She made him stay rational even when he was ready to fly off the handle searching for Dean at the museum. She was tough enough and smart enough to handle this life. For the first time ever he admitted to himself he couldn't give up hunting, no matter how much he claimed to want to. Sarah really was his perfect match. She knew every mistake he had made but still gave him a chance. She knew how his mistakes had almost destroyed the world more than once but she could still smile at him like he was a hero. He always felt like he wanted to protect her, but really she was always saving him. He had never thought Dean would get married, let alone before him but it had really made him think.
Before the wedding he asked Dean why he was rushing and Dean had replied, "I'm not. I'm making up for all the lost time. All the times we should have had together if I would have just embraced the chance of love with a woman who truly understood me and still loved me. Jo knows me better than I know myself and miraculously still wants to be with me. I am not throwing that away again. And neither should you."
Sam had been thinking about that ever since. When he thought he had lost Dean again and they couldn't find him, Sarah had kept him sane. She helped him look; she researched everything magical in the area to figure out what might have happened. She held him while he cried and went crazy. She knew when he was going to explode and took him hunting things he could take his anger out on. Not once did she tell him to get over it or move on. She held him together and stayed by his side. She swore to him they would get his brother back, no matter how long it took. He knew after that Sarah was the woman Maria had told him about. Sarah was his true love that he had kept waiting. He didn't think he deserved her but he wanted to spend the rest of his life making it up to her. He felt his pocket to make sure everything was still there, then went back into the auction house to see if Sarah need any more help.
I had to throw in some shameless Samara.
