Izzy
Dean, Sam, and I are in 'Baby' while my dad, John, and Bobby are in my dad's truck. None of them would tell me we were going and I was kind of worried when we left Washington.
"Seriously are either of you going to give me an idea of where we're going?"
"All I can say is we're going home," Sam says from the backseat.
I think of where home would be for us and the only place I could think of was Lawrence Kansas. I didn't say anything because Dean has been working hard to keep it a surprise.
"Not very helpful. You two have traveled from the get go and I've lived in Phoenix and Forks. Since we just left Forks and my mom is in Phoenix I'm not sure where we're going," I say.
Dean looks at me and I shrug my shoulders. He may know I'm lying, but I'm not ruining his surprise. Cass appears next to me and smiles. I glance at Dean and he smiles before looking back at the road. I cock my head to the side trying to figure out why he would be here.
"Can you hear me?" I hear Cass ask in my head.
"Yes, but how can I hear you and how can we talk like this?"
"Well, I'm an angel and I can do about anything," he says.
"Pssh, why do I need an angel?"
"Well, you've been marked for several years. I'm your guardian and Sam's guardian. Both of you have been marked and there will be a time where you'll need me."
"Why are you telling me this? Why not make yourself known to Sam and Dean if your supposed to be his guardian angel as well," I say.
"Its not the time to reveal myself," he says.
He disappears and I roll my eyes. That man or Angel or whatever you wanted to call him was irritating.
"You okay over there?" Dean asks kissing my head.
My phone buzzes as I nod and I see it's a text from my dad.
Tell Dean to take the next exit and meet us at IHOP. -Dad
Will do sir. -Izzy
"Dad says to take the next exit and stop at IHOP," I tell Dean.
"Food," he says.
"I could use a coffee," Sam says.
"I'm gonna get a to-go coffee before we leave and food," I say with a laugh.
Dean
Once we pull up to IHOP, Izzy hops out and pulls her dad inside. Bobby, my dad, and Sam look over at me. I shrug my shoulders because I wasn't sure what that was about.
"What'd you do, idjit?" Bobby asks.
"Nothing, that I know of. Sam would be the first to tell you if I did something wrong." I look at him.
"They haven't really spoken the entire way so far," Sam says.
"Well, let's head in and get some grub. We can stop at the gas station down the street before getting back on the road," my dad says pushing Bobby into the restaraunt.
We walk in and Charlie informs us that she was in the restroom. I nod and sit across from Sam, leaving an empty chair between Bobby and I.
"What's going on?" Bobby asks.
"Nothing. She's just worn out."
Izzy
After pulling my dad into the restraunt we find a table big enough to fit all of us. He sits down and looks at me.
"What's going on?"
"Do you know who Castiel is?" I ask.
"Why?"
"Dad? Why would an Angel be visiting me, telling me I'm marked and may need him in the future?"
"Yellow Eyes. Azazel. Some how he got to you when you were six months old. Mary passed away when Azazel visited Sam. Renee must've made a deal with him when she was a teen. This isn't good at all." He shakes his head.
"What happened?"
"He fed you his blood when you were six months old. He did the same thing to Sam and it'd make sense since we were neighbors and he only had to wait a year for Sam to be six months."
"Great. So what is Azazel?"
"He's a demon. A lot of us call him the Prince of Hell since he's Lucifer's right hand man. Lilth is also another one you have to keep an eye out for. She's Lucifer's first daughter and very cherished."
"So you're telling me that I have demons blood in me? Sam has demons blood in him? Aunt Mary died because she made a deal with a demon? Why didn't mom die?"
"Mary heard and seen someone in Sam's room when he was in the middle of feeding him blood. That's the reason she died. I was working late trying to earn more money. Your mom wasn't one to do much when you were younger so she wouldn't have checked on you."
"She didn't do much after we left you. I was the one who took care of everything. By seven I was paying bills. By ten I was doing odd jobs to earn money so the lights wouldn't get shut off. I was cooking and cleaning our house while she partied." I say keeping the tears at bay.
"Look, go cool down because the rest of them are heading this way. I'll hold them off until you get back. If Cass comes back let me know."
"He was with me the night Jake died. That was the second time I'd seen him. The first time was in my dreams, but still. This was the fourth time actually."
After spending ten minutes in the bathroom I walk out to see the waiter leaving the table. I see drinks sitting on the table so I know they haven't ordered food yet.
*A few days later*
We'd spent a few nights in hotels on our way to wherever we were going. I was still acting like I didn't know where we were going because I didn't want to ruin the surprise. We pull off to the side of the road by the sign. I look at the sign and see Lawrence. Bobby takes my dad's phone and snaps a couple of pictures of all of us. There were one of all five of us, one of just us kids, one of our dad's, and one of the kids with our parents.
"Why didn't you tell me we were coming here?" I ask Dean as we slide back into the Impala.
"Because when your dad left here he never sold the house. He's been renting it out, but as of right now it's empty. The furniture is all there still although he's had it updated since he lived there last. They'll be stopping by a tree farm for a tree. Sam, you, and I will be stopping for decorations and food."
"That doesn't answer my question. Why didn't you tell me about us coming here? That does answer my question on where we were going to stay."
"It was a surprise. Why would I tell you that and ruin the surprise?"
"Men and their surprises," I say.
*Christmas Eve Day*
Dean
Today is the day I'm going to ask Izzy to marry me. Charlie came with me a few days ago to pick up the ring. He told me she would love it so I paid for it. No one, but the two of us know what's going to happen tonight when we go to LadyBird Diner.
"Dean, breakfast is ready. Are you coming down or not?" Sam hollers at me.
"Coming," I say.
I had to wrap the last present for Izzy before heading down the stairs. Izzy had been very quiet since we've gotten here. There weren't any things left from the past that we knew of, but being here had to be hard on her. I've caught Sam and my dad watching our old house. There was a single mom living there and we've made ourselves known as the old owners. Izzy and I toured the house while Sam and dad sat downstairs with the new owner and her son.
"Dean, what's taking you so long? Breakfast is going to get cold," Izzy says standing in the doorway.
"I was finishing the wrapping. I'm coming now. Are you okay?" I ask.
"What do you mean?" She looks at me.
"You've been quiet and distant since we've gotten here. You sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, it's just odd being back here after all these years. I, for one, never thought I'd see this house again."
"Well, I haven't been back since mom passed and I know how you feel. Touring our old house was hard to do," I say.
*Later That Night*
We pull into LadyBird Diner and Izzy smiles at me. Sam and Bobby were with us and would be riding back Charlie and my dad. I'd be taking Izzy out for a while before heading back to the house. Sam helps her out and the six of us head in. I'd called earlier and asked for their private section. The owner would be here since dad and Charlie had been frequent customers when they were teens.
"I havent been here in forever," Izzy says.
"The last time we were here was the night you and Renee left. I hadn't been able to come in and sit. This was your favorite place and I'm pretty sure Sara still works here."
We walk in and Izzy grabs into Charlie's arm. I could tell she was nervous and excited to be back. A woman in her early forties walks over and I recognize her vaguely.
"If it isn't Charlie Swan and John Winchester. Its been what fourteen years since I've seen either of you," the lady says.
"Fran, it's good to see you. It has been a while since either of us have been here. You remember the kids don't you?" Charlie hugs her.
"Isabella, Dean, and little Sam," she says. "My haven't the three of you grown."
"Did someone say Isabella? As in little Isabella Swan?" Another lady comes up and asks.
"Sara?" Izzy asks.
"Oh my, your not so little anymore sweetie. You are such a beautiful woman now!" This Sara says pulling Izzy into a hug.
"Its been a while, yes, but I'm here."
"Lets get you six a table and we'll catch up in a few, when it calms down a little." Fran says.
After sitting there for an hour eating and catching up with Fran and Sara. Sara brings me and Izzy some pie. Fran brings the rest of them a slice of cake. Charlie looks at me and nods. I excuse myself from the group and head out to the car. I had to grab the ring from the glove box. I see a flower stand at the corner so I run down the street to grab a bouquet of Izzy's favorite flowers.
I head back to LadyBird and walk in. I hear Izzy and Sam asking if I'm okay and Charlie tells them that I'm fine. My dad, Charlie, and Bobby were facing me as Sam and Izzy had their backs to me. I got down on one knee and put the flowers in my seat. Izzy catches the movement and looks back at me.
"Dean, what are you doing?" Izzy asks turning around.
Here goes nothing, I think to myself.
"Izzy, once you hit fourteen I knew you were the one for me. Bobby gave that Camaro for me to fix up for Sam's sixteenth birthday, but I knew how much you loved Baby, so I built that car for you. When I called you on your birthday I planned on spilling my guts. I love you Isabella and I would love for you to become my wife. Will you marry me?" I ask.
A/N: I have had a hard time with this story. Sorry about the long wait. I will be finishing this story soon so this will be the last chapter until I have it finished. This will be 20 chapters so there are only four chapters left. There will be a sequel, but I will work on my other stories first. Thank you all for the reviews and follows! Hope you enjoy this!
