Thank you C1B12 for your feedback and I'm glad you're still liking this story. I love the gun part too! Next part includes a small scene with Jo and Dean after he had to behead Billie...don't know why but I think that kill would have bothered Dean.

Well I hope people enjoy this next part!

Thanks Val

Chapter 9

Dean opened Baby's driver door and slid in behind the steering wheel while Sam took care of Billie's body.

Sighing he pulled out his phone and decided he needed to see his girls and hit the FaceTime app on his phone and punched in Jo's number.

"Hey," Jo said sleepily.

"Shit, did I wake you?" He asked as he looked at his watch and realized it was almost 1:00am.

"It's fine." She reassured him as she turned on the light next to the bed. "Did you get the father?"

"Wasn't the father, it was the son. The father was trying to cover up for him." He explained. "Jo he was going to let me behead him to save his son."

Jo looked at Dean's face. "He loves his son."

"Yeah he did, and Billie loved his parents." Dean said as he told Jo about the teen and how he gave himself over to him and Sammy.

"Jo that kid was so damn brave. He didn't ask for this and he wanted us to stop him from hurting another innocent person. Watching him kneeling down so that I could sever his head..." he said softly as he whipped at the tears that threaten to spill.

Jo watched Dean's face carefully. She knew there was nothing she could say to make things better.

Dean's eye lit up slightly when he heard Ami gurgling in the background. "She's awake?"

Jo smirked. "She is now. I think she heard your voice. Hold on." She said as she got out of bed and went over to the bassinet. She turned the phone around so that Ami could see him.

"Hey Peanut. Are you being a good girl for Mama?" He cooed.

"Yup she is." Jo told him as she placed her hand on the baby's tummy as she shushed her. "Oh, and you should see all the stuff Jodi and Donna have bought for her. They are spoiling her rotten."

Dean chuckled at that. "Sammy is going to flip when he hears this. He already complained that there wasn't enough room in the car with all of Ami's stuff."

"Well I convinced Jodi to keep some stuff here." She explained.

"He'll be happy to hear that." He told her as he watched his brother walking out from the line of trees a little way down from where they were parked. "Sammy's done with the body. We're driving through the night and we will be there in the morning."

"Alright, we'll see you soon." Jo said giving him a smile.

"Give Amelia a kiss for me."

"I will. Drive safely. Bye." She said as Sam open the passenger door looking at Dean's phone.

"Will do. See you soon. Love you." Dean said as he hung up the phone.

Sam stared at his brother as Dean started the engine of the Impala. Dean looked over at the younger hunter and saw the way he was staring at him. "What's wrong?"

Sammy shook his head. "You don't even realize what you just said."

"Huh?"

"Just now while you were saying goodbye to Jo. What you just told her."

"That we would see them soon. I told her we're driving through the night."

"Not that." Sam said as he tried not to laugh. "Dude you said you love her."

Dean looked at his brother like he had grown a second head. "What the Hell are you talking about. I think I would know if I said I love you to somebody."

"You said and I quote, 'Will do. See you soon. Love you.' Love you! Dean you totally just told Jo you love her."

Dean gaped at his brother as he replayed the goodbye in his head. "Son of a bitch. Do you think she heard it?"

"I guess you'll find out when we get to Jodi." He said with a smirk, enjoying the blush on his brother's cheeks.

Dean parked the car outside of Jodi's house and watched as Jo stood on the porch watching them as they got out of the car.

"Hey Jo." Sam said as they climbed the front stairs.

"Sammy," she said as she hugged the youngest Winchester as Dean stood back watching her carefully. "Everyone is in the kitchen having breakfast."

"Sounds good to me, I'm starving."

Jo cocked her eyebrow at Dean. He gulped as she walked towards him. Stretching up she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

She reached down and took his hand in hers before turning to lead him back into the house, passed the kitchen and upstairs to the room she and Ami were staying in.

He smiled when he saw the baby sleeping in her bassinet. "I figured you would want to get her up and spend a little time with her."

"You figured right." He agreed.

"I'm going down to finish my breakfast." She said as she let go of his hand and headed towards the door, stopping before she left the room. "Oh, and Dean," she called.

"Yeah." He said as he lifted Ami up laughing as she fought to open her eyes while yawning.

"I love you too." She told him. She rolled her eyes at the look of shock on his face. "What did you think I didn't hear you?"

He opened and closed his mouth several times as she laughed and walked out of the room. Dean watched her retreating back and finally shouted as she started down the stairs, "Just remember I said it first."

"Oh, I will." She called back.

Dean grinned as he turned his attention back to the child in his arms. "So Peanut, how about we get you into a clean diaper and then we'll go down for breakfast."

After everyone had breakfast and they repacked the Impala with the baby things the group of hunters said goodbye and the family of four where on their way back to the bunker.

Sam grumbling most of the way as Jo had snagged the front seat and he had to sit in the back again. He was starting to feel like a kid again and it didn't help any when he heard himself whining and Dean offering him a treat when they got back if he stopped.

When they got back to the bunker Dean and Sammy unloaded the car as Jo took Ami inside to the nursery.

She changed the baby and put her into a yellow onesie. Jo turned when Dean and Sam carrying the baby's things in.

"I'm going to hit the shower and get some shuteye." Dean announced as he stopped in front of Jo to brush a kiss on top of Ami's head before continuing into their room.

Sam waited until Dean left the room and gave Jo a tentative smile. "Dean said you gave him the okay to fill me in."

"I did," she said.

"And he told you about Emma."

"He did."

Sam nodded his head as he reached out to stroke Ami's back but let his hand drop instead. "Jo if you're not comfortable..."

"Sammy," she said interrupting him. "As far as I'm concern you would only have done it because you had no other option and if Dean trusts you with Amelia then so do I. You're her uncle and I know you would never hurt her."

"Okay," he said. Since Dean had told him about his and Jo's talk his thoughts kept going back to Emma. Back to the decision he made to save his brother and kill his niece.

"You look pretty wiped too. Why don't you grab a shower and get some sleep."

"Yeah that sounds good to me." He said as he started for the door. "Jo." He called out causing her to turn and looked at him. "I'm sorry you and Amelia had to go through everything in your dimension but having you both here with us...I can't explain it really, but it just feels right."

She smiled in understanding because for a while now she's felt the same way. He gave her a quick head nod before heading towards his room. Looking down she saw that Amelia had fallen asleep and gently laid her down in her crib.

Walking into their room she crossed over to the bathroom and knock softly on the half-closed door. "Dean," she called as she poked her head.

"Come on in."

Jo walked in and was a little surprised to see Dean soaking in the tub instead of taking a shower. "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that Ami's down for a nap and I have the monitor so don't worry about getting up with her."

Dean grinned at Jo. "The baby's down for a nap and Sammy is gonna be out of it for a while too. What you say you get naked and join me...we can wash each other front." He suggested while wiggling his eyebrows.

Jo burst out laughing. "Seriously that's a horrible line."

"How about I missed you instead." He asked.

"Much better." She said as she quickly removing her clothes and joined him. She hissed slightly at the temperature as she slid down into the tub and settled between Dean's legs with her back resting against his chest.

"Too hot?" Dean asked as he kissed her shoulder.

"No, it's good." She murmured. "Never took you as a bath man."

Dean chuckled. "Feels good after a long ride."

"A relaxing bath is always good." She agreed as Dean wrapped his arms her middle as he leaned back against the tub.

Dean sighed as he felt himself relaxing completely. "So did the girls help you figure out a training routine?"

"The 'girls'," she teased.

"Can't say it's sexist since they refer to us as the 'boys'"

"True," she conceded before she started laying out the routine that they felt would be best. "Jodi and Donna said my aim is pretty good considering I haven't shot a gun in years, but target practice is a must and they said we should start working on crossbows and knife throwing too."

"Yeah I definitely been thinking about weapon training too after seeing how excited you were when I gave you the gun. What about hand to hand combat?"

Jo slid her foot along Dean's calf. "Claire and Alex showed me some Krav Maga techniques. They said that I should be able to pick it up quickly."

"Krav Maga, is that the one the IDF teaches their soldiers? The one that's a combination of boxing, wrestling and some martial arts too?" He asked as he nibble on her ear lobe.

Jo moaned as Dean began to kiss her neck. "Yeah...they showed me some training videos on YouTube."

Dean groaned as Jo squirmed and caused some very pleasant friction between their bodies. "Well I'm always up to learning some new moves."

"Oh, you are?" She asked as one of his hands slowly move along her stomach down between her legs.

"Definitely," he whispered in her ear as his he slipped two fingers inside of her.

Jo panted softly as Dean quickly found a rhythm that had her heart beating faster. She groaned in frustration as she heard the piercing cries of her daughter coming over the monitor.

"Seriously we need to talk to her about timing." He said as he dropped his head onto Jo's shoulder.

Jo took a shaky breath as Dean pulled his hand away from her body so that she could get up. "Agree," Jo said as she stood up and got out of the tub before grabbing a towel and wrapping it around herself as she hurried into the nursery.

Dean rolled his shoulders as he stood to get out of the tub too. "Sorry buddy," he murmured to his semi erect dick as he dried off and pulled on a pair of sweatpants and a tee shirt.

He smiled when he walked into the room to see Ami laying on their bed surrounded by pillows so she couldn't roll too far and a naked Jo grabbing some clothes to put on.

"I'm not opposed to becoming nudists." He said with a grin as he leaned against the wall and enjoying the view.

"Doubt Sammy would approve." She teased as she slipped on a pair of panties before tossing on a grey thermal jersey and leggings. "Just have to settle for bra less."

Dean strolled over to the dresser where Jo stood as she grabbed a pair of socks and spun her around and lifted her up, sitting her on top of the dresser, stepping between her legs and kissing her.

They pulled apart when Ami began crying again. "Is she doing this on purpose?" Dean asked as he took a few steps backwards and walked towards the bed.

Jo laughed as she hopped down. "Probably doesn't like sharing your affections with another woman."

"Is that it? Are you jealous Peanut?" Dean ask the infant as he laid down next to her and rubbed her tummy to help soothe her. He grinned when Ami's cries subsided, and she began to gurgle happily at him.

Jo huffed good-naturedly as she slipped on her socks and sneakers while sitting on

the end of the bed. "Such a lady's man."

Dean laughed as he nuzzled his nose against Ami's cheek. "I think nap time is over."

"I know, I'm taking her with me. You need to get some sleep." She told him as she stood up.

Dean smiled as he watched Ami blowing a spit bubble while playing with her feet. "I just need a few hours." He told her.

Jo bent over and picked up Amelia. "Come on Sweetpea, Daddy needs his rest."

Dean smiled to himself. Damn he liked hearing Jo refer to him as Daddy to Amelia.

"See you in a few hours." He said as he yawned and grabbed a couple of the pillows and fell asleep before Jo and Ami left the room.

Dean stretched as he got out of the bed and stood. He glanced at the clock on the nightstand and did a double take. He had slept for seven hours.

He went into the nursery and saw that Ami wasn't in her crib so he headed into the main living space of the bunker and found Sammy and Jo at the kitchen table watching videos on Sammy's laptop while Ami was bouncing happily in her bouncy chair.

"Hey why didn't you wake me up?" He asked as he sat down to see what they were looking at. "Is that Krav Maga?"

"Yeah, remind me to never spar with Claire or Alex. This looks pretty lethal." Sammy said before adding. "I think it's perfect for you Jo. They have a lot of moves geared towards women...they're dirty but that's what makes it perfect. It'll give you the element of surprise."

Dean watched the video and nodded his head at the way the fighters were moving. "I think we need to really study these films so that we can practice these moves."

Jo stood and went to the stove and lifted the cover off the pot that she had simmering. Dean sniffed the air. "Stew?"

"Lamb." Jo said as she stirred the stew. "If you don't mind putting the biscuits in the oven, we'll be ready to eat when they're done."

Dean got up and grabbed a tube of biscuits, butter and the honey off the shelf.

Jo watched as Dean put a large dollop of butter in a small glass bowl and popped it into the microwave for a few seconds and then mixed in some honey before setting it aside as he opened the tube of biscuits and put them on the cookie sheet. Grabbing the melted butter and a pastry brush he slathered butter on each before putting the biscuits in the oven.

"Oh my God that's your secret! Honey and melted butter." Jo cried.

Dean smirked at her. "Damn I should have made you leave the room." He teased.

"Ha-ha." Jo said with a roll of her eyes as she tapped Sam on the shoulder. "Enough Sammy. Put your laptop away please and then go wash your hands for dinner."

Dean leaned against the counter and watched his brother give Jo a "yes mam" before quickly followed her orders. He waited until Sam left to wash up before laughing. "Are we raising Sam now too."

"What?"

"You basically just told a 37-year-old man to put his toys away and go wash his hands for dinner."

Jo looked up at Dean in horror. "I didn't, did I?"

"Don't feel too bad, I promise him a treat in the car if he stopped complaining. I haven't done that since he was eight." He said still chuckling.

"Gee, I think I need more adult time if I'm mothering Sam."

Dean pulled her into his arms and kissed her soundly on the lips. "I'm all for more adult activities."

Jo rolled her eyes. "I don't mean sex."

Dean cocked his head as he took the look in her eyes and saw that she was being serious. "I guess we dove straight into the deep end of the pool huh."

Jo shot a look at the door. "Dean I'm not complaining. This...us is good...really good. It's just..."

"It's just that we're now in a relationship but we've never even had an actual date. Hell, we've never even had a meal alone without the 'kids'." He said realizing he wanted that too. He wanted to have that normal couple experience with Jo.

"Am I being selfish?" She asked.

"Nope you're not and tomorrow night you and me out on the town while Sammy babysits Ami." He told her.

"Does Lebanon have any actual nightlife?" She asked as she turned the stove off.

"Well if you're looking for a fancy dinner, we'd probably will need to go a few towns over but if you don't mind eating at Casey's Pub and Grill, I can promise you a damn good steak dinner. Can't say there's any place for me to take you dancing but the bowling alley plays decent music while you're bowling."

Jo grinned at him. "That sounds like an honest to God date and it sounds amazing. I would love to go to dinner and bowling with you."

"Bowling, count me in." Sam said as he came back into the kitchen.

"Sorry Sammy you're on Ami duty tomorrow night while Jo and I go out." Dean announce as he opened the oven door to check the biscuits and saw they were done.

Sam's eyes widened in horror. "You're both going out...together...and leaving me with Amelia...alone?"

Dean grabbed the plate he put the biscuits on and put them on the table next to the pot of stew and bowls.

"Sammy if you don't think you're ready to babysit by yourself..." Jo started to say only to have Dean cut her off.

"You'll be fine. Jo and I need a night out." Dean said in a voice Sam knew he meant business and that he better fall into line. It was the same voice their father used on them growing up.

He looked over at Jo and smiled. "It'll be fine."

"Now let's eat before dinner gets cold." Dean said as he slapped his brother on his back in silent thanks.
