Thank you Danae and C1B12 for your feedback! Oh I'm glad you like the four of them together because I always thought the only way a relationship could ever really work for one brother is if the love interest truly cared about the other brother too since The brother's relationship is so important to each other.

Thank you again and I hope you like the next part.

Chapter 10

Jo kissed Ami again before passing her over to Sammy as Dean stood by the stairs.

"Now there are four bottles in the fridge. You just need to heat them up to room temperature...not too warm. There's diapers, wipes, rash cream and talcum powder in the bottom of the changing table out here and in the nursery. She has a little bit of a rash so make sure you're clean and dry her real good. She may be a little fussy so you could try giving her a bath with the lavender baby bath wash. Now..."

"Jo, they'll be fine. Sweetheart, let's go." Dean said as he came over and wrapped and arm around her waist to guide her out the door.

"But Dean," she whined as she reached out towards Amelia. "I need to kiss her goodbye."

"Jo you've already given her a dozen kisses. Come on, it's not the first time you've left her."

"I'll call if she needs you." Sammy promised.

"See we're just a call away." Dean said as he began ushering her up the stairs.

"Ohh but I need to make sure Sam knows..." she argued.

Dean stopped and looked at her. "Joanna Beth I'm going to toss you over my shoulder so that we can go out on our date."

Jo gaped at Dean. "You wouldn't!" She gasped.

Sam chuckled. "I wouldn't test him if I was you."

"Come on mama hen, your baby chick is in good hands." Dean said as he gently pushed her up the stairs so they could begin their first date.

Jo giggle as Dean told her about the time, he took the potion so that he could communicate with the dog Colonel. "I would have paid money to have seen Sammy's face when he realized you were playing fetch with the wrapper."

Dean laughed as he remembered his brother's face. "Your Dean and Sammy must have had some crazy hunts like that." He said as he reached out and entwined his hand with hers.

Jo frowned as she considered Dean's comment. "I guess, I don't really remember them talking about any in particular. I don't remember them talking to me about their hunts really now that I think about it." She told him somberly.

Dean stared at her. It seemed like they really kept her in the dark when it came to hunting. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

Jo shook her head slightly. "It's funny, I'm not upset. I don't really feel anything about Dean keeping that part of his life away from me."

"You know, I don't expect you not to talk about him." Dean told her as he lifted their joined hands and kissed hers.

Jo nodded her head. "I know. It's just...I don't know how to explain it but I guess I realized how little Dean actually shared his life with me and it's not that I don't want to talk to you about my life with him...it's...it's...oh God this is humiliating to admit out loud but I can't share with you too much because there's not a lot for me to share with you. There hasn't been anything for years if I'm honest with myself."

Dean studied her face and tried to wrap his head around what she was saying. It was almost like once the raw emotions of losing her husband, Sam and John had passed a veil had been lifted about the reality of her marriage and her life in the other dimension.

"You don't have to answer this but why did you and he decide to have Amelia?" Jo blushed and Dean quickly shook his head. "Forget I asked."

"No, it's a fair question." She told him. "It's a little awkward to talk to you about my sex life with him."

"Right...you know I think we can skip this." He said as he realized he didn't want to hear about Jo's sex life with his doppelgänger from another dimension.

"I'm sorry," Jo apologized as she slowly pulled her hand away from Dean's.

Dean looked across at Jo and silently swore at himself as he slipped out of his seat and slid into the booth next to Jo and wrapped his arm around her.

"No this is my fault. Let's hit the rewind button and forget I asked you about their hunts. Can we go back to just having a nice time?"

Jo chewed on her lower lip. "I want to tell you though."

Dean took a deep breath. "Okay."

"I don't know. We never talked about it. He suddenly wanted to be with me. He was actually very sweet and romantic. Then when I found I was pregnant with Amelia he just smiled and said that was perfect. He was attentive about making sure I was doing everything to have a healthy pregnancy, but he wasn't exactly interested in being intimate with once I got pregnant." She told.

"I don't...I can't imagine not wanting to be with you." Dean told her and he meant it. He didn't understand how they ended up that way or why she stayed with him. Something was gnawing at him, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The waitress came over with their meals. They ate in silence and after Dean paid the bill they headed back out into the night. Once they were settled in the Impala Jo turned to Dean. "I'm sorry I don't really feel like bowling."

"I figured you wouldn't feel like bowling now." He admitted before reaching out and taking her hand in his. "I want to show you something if you're up for a ride."

"Maybe we should call it a night."

"Please Jo, this is important to me and I want to share it with you."

Jo saw the look in his eyes and nodded her head. "Alright."

It took them almost an hour to get to the spot. Jo looked out over the water and smiled. "It's lovely here."

Dean smiled. "I thought you would like it."

"It's a nice place to come and relax." She said as she sat down on one of the large boulders where they stood near.

"I brought Jack here once, decided the kid needed to do something normal and brought him here to teach him how to fish." He told her.

Jo stared at him. "Oh Dean," she murmured.

"I loved that kid so damn much and yet I wanted to kill him after he killed our Mom. Didn't even hesitate when Chuck gave me that gun. Part of me figured it was the right thing. I convinced myself that Jack had never really learned how to love but when it came down to it, he taught me more about love than I thought possible." He explained.

"Dean," Jo whispered as she grabbed his hand.

"Sweetheart everything that's happened in our lives is what's makes us who we are now...the good and the bad but like you said yesterday this...us is good and we can't let ourselves get lost in the past."

Jo snorted. "I'm telling Sammy you've been reading his self-help books." She teased before adding seriously. "I know you're right. Honestly, I'm more confused that I'm not more upset about the things I've told you. Shouldn't my husband cheating on me for apparently years upset me more?"

"I don't know, maybe you just accepted it because you had a suspicion about him possibly cheating from before." He offered.

"It's not just that. Dean I can't remember things...simple things." She confessed.

"Like what?"

"I have memories of Siobhan...of her being born, when she got sick, staying with her while she died. That I know but the other day I was playing with Ami and wanted to start telling her about her sister but I couldn't remember things like what songs Dean sang to her, what her favorite toy was or even her favorite color." She told him not even attempting to hide her fear at this realization. "Do you think when I came through the rift something happened to me?"

"I don't know. We never had any memory issues and none of the hunters who came through from the apocalypse world ever mentioned any memory problems." He told her as he considered what she had just said.

"Dean it scares me. The more I think about things and the longer I'm here... I'm starting to think I never actually loved him... that Dean. What if something is wrong with me...emotionally?" She confessed as she wiped at her tears.

"Hey, come here." He said as he pulled her in for a hug. "We'll figure it out."

"It's not just him...Dean...my Mom...I know I loved her but not that woman I remember. That woman never had my best interest at heart, she just wanted to control me. Everything just seems to be getting more and more jumbled."

"Jo we will figure it out." Dean swore as he kissed the crown of her head.

Jo nodded her head as she clung to Dean as she cried. Her emotions seemed to be out of control now that she voiced her fears out loud.

Finally, her tears subsided and she loosened her grip on Dean and pulled back so that she could look up at him. "Can we head back? I just need to see Amelia."

Dean wiped her tears from her cheeks before leaning down and kissing her gently. "Yeah, let's go home."

Sam looked up from the journal he was reading as Dean and Jo came down the bunker stairs. "Hey, how was your date?" He asked with a grin.

Jo gave Sam a small smile as she walked past him to the bassinet that they had moved into the main space from her and Dean's bedroom once Ami went into her crib.

Jo stared at the infant and sighed as she gently lifted the sleeping baby into her arms and hugged her.

Sam looked at Jo as Amelia began to fuss slightly. "I was getting ready to give her a bottle."

Jo sat down at the table and undid a couple of buttons of her shirt as she brought Ami to her breast to nurse her.

Sam blushed but forced himself to stay since Jo and Dean both told him he was being silly running out of the room whenever Jo decided to nurse Ami.

"So, grown up time..." Sam said trying to make conversation.

Jo and Dean shared a look before Dean began to fill his brother in on their conversation. The younger Winchester frowned but said nothing until Dean was done.

Jo finished nursing Ami as Dean finished filling Sam in. He waited a few minutes thinking of how to broach what he had noticed while reading the other Dean's journal.

Once Ami had been burped and Jo had laid the child back in her bassinet, he cleared his throat and held the journal up and announced, "I don't think there's anything wrong with you that a certain archangel can explain."

"What are you talking about Sammy?" Dean asked as he and Jo sat up straighter.

He held the journal up. "What you just told me makes this journal make more sense."

"What do you mean?" Jo asked not sure how her memory issues could tie into her husband's journal.

"Jo I'm sorry I don't know how to say this but the first time that Dean actually mentions you in here is after Gabriel approached them."

"Do you remember that?" Dean asked as he held his hand out towards the journal.

Sam gave the book to his brother as Jo shook her head. "Not really. I don't remember meeting him. He was just suddenly there."

"You mention once that you and your Dean talked about Gabriel having feelings for you. How so?" Dean asked as he went flipped through the journal.

Jo shrugged her shoulders. "Dean and John would laugh that he liked to watch me. That I was precious to him."

"Precious," Sam said as he looked at Dean. The pieces of the puzzle were slipping into place and the picture it was making wasn't a pretty one.

Dean saw the way his brother frowned at what Jo just said. "What's that look for?"

Sam sighed. "Dean mentions Gabriel bringing a precious gift that they agreed to protect."

"Oh God." Jo said as she realized what Sam was saying. Her never being mentioned in the journal prior to Gabriel meeting the Winchesters...John and Dean jab about her being precious to the archangel...Dean obsession on her pregnancy.

"When was that?" Dean asked as he grabbed Jo's hand in support.

"Almost a year ago." She whispered.

Dean sucked in a deep breath. That gnawing feeling came rushing back full force when he pieced together that was around the time Michael was walking around his meat suit. "Would you agree the only way Gabriel made it out of the Purgatory would be if one of his archangel brothers brought him back?" He asked Sam.

Sam swallow as he nodded his head in agreement. "My guess would be Michael."

"Michael." Dean agreed.

"This is insane." Jo said as Dean got up and went over to Amelia.

"Jo, I'm sorry but it all fits together, and it would explain the reason your memories don't seem to make sense is because they were planted." Sam told her.

"Gabriel, he spent centuries hiding from his father and brothers as a Trickster. He gets his jollies playing with people and planting false memories is up his alley." Dean explained as he stared at Ami.

"Why would he do this? Why make me think that Dean was Amelia's father?" Jo asked as she looked back and forth between the two men.

"Jo, he once made me watch Dean die over and over again for months." Sam explained.

Jo looked over at her daughter. "So, you're saying I'm from a completely different dimension and that dimensions Dean is Amelia's real father and he could still be alive?"

"No that's not what we're saying." Dean told her.

"Sammy just said..." she argued.

"Yes, I think you're from a different dimension but...Jo...I think... I think I'm Amelia biological father." He told her bluntly.

"That's not possible." She argued. "Are you saying Gabriel altered both our memories?"

"No not Gabriel. Gabriel and Michael." Dean told her. "When you got pregnant with Amelia was when Michael was walking around in my meat suit.

Jo looked at her daughter and swallowed the giant lump in her throat as she thought about everything Dean and Sam were saying and argued. "You're wrong, if what you're saying was true and you fathered Amelia while Michael was using you as his vessel then that would make her a Nephilim like Jack and she isn't a Nephilim."

Sam cocked his head slightly. "Jo has a point. Dean..."

"She wouldn't be one if Michael wasn't technical there during...I mean while we were...when we...you know..." Dean stammered.

"Dean are you saying Michael released you as his vessel? If you had been free why would you have stayed?" Sam asked in disbelief.

"I thought they were fantasies." He confessed as he ducked his head at the way Jo sucked in a deep breath. Looking at his brother he said, "Sammy give us a minute."

The younger man looked at his brother and then Jo. "Of course," he said as he got up.

Jo sat watching Sam as he left them alone. "Fantasies?" She asked.

"Please you need to understand. Our Jo...she was it for me...the one I felt I should have been with and even though I never told her I still imagined myself with her and she became a coping mechanism for me when reality became unbearable. When I first went on the rack it's how I got out of my head and lasted for 30 years. Imagining my life with her. Making love...being a family... that kept me going and I did the same thing when Michael used me as his vessel."

"And you think that he brought me from another dimension so he could watch you have actually sex with me...with just some damn version of her to get his jollies?" She asked horrified.

"No," he said quickly.

"Then why?" She asked as she began to cry.

"I hate saying this, but I think he wanted another vessel, one that I fathered and figured he could trick me by bringing you to me. Blurring my fantasy with reality." He explained realizing it was the only thing that made sense.

"A vessel!" She cried.

"Jo he's gone, and Ami is safe." He tried to reassure her.

"And what that makes it okay that he took me from God knows what dimension and bred us like animals."

Dean shook his head mutely as Jo stood up.

"Dean, I have no clue where I come from. I've been gone for a year. I could have a family...a husband...other children." She said as she took several deep breaths to try and keep calm.

He looked down at his hands. "You're right," he admitted, his voice thick with emotion.

"Don't worry Darling, there's no Mr. Harvelle or mini hunters waiting for you. Hell, there's nobody looking for you anywhere."

Dean and Jo spun, each pulling their guns out and training them on the archangel they hadn't seen since Amelia's birth.

"Seriously you do know guns are useless against me." Gabriel said as he snapped his fingers and their guns became water pistols.

"Guns may be useless, but an angel blade isn't." Sam hissed as he snuck up behind Gabriel and held the blade to his throat.

"Uh uh uh stick me and bye bye goes her memories not to mention you'll never find your buddy Castiel."

Dean narrowed his eyes at the archangel before storming over to cabinet and grabbing a set of handcuffs. "Angel trap cuffs." He explained to Jo as he quickly slapped them on Gabriel and shoved him onto a chair.

He went over to Jo and pulled her aside. He needed to make sure she understood what they were dealing with. "Sweetheart you need to understand he's not the Gabriel you've come to think of as a friend...as a member of your family."

"Oh, trust me I know that." Jo told him firmly.

Sam came over and joined them. "Where do we start?""

Jo looked at both men before answering. "Castiel. Restoring my memories will have to wait. Obviously, he has him somewhere so we need him to tell us where so we can bring him home."

Dean nodded his head relieved that she decided to take the lead and made that call. He didn't trust himself not to say to restoring her memories first.

"Okay," Sam agreed before shooting a look at Amelia asleep in her bassinet. "Maybe we should move him into the angel proof room in the dungeon."

"Agreed." Dean said as he looked at his brother. "Can you handle him...Jo and I..."

"Yeah sure, take your time I've got this." Sam said as he went over and grabbed Gabriel and began dragging him out of the room.

"Don't say it." Jo said before Dean opened his mouth.

"Listen to me, this isn't about me trying to protect you. This is about Ami; I don't think she should be here during this."

Jo looked over at her daughter and knew Dean was right. "What are you thinking?"

Dean sighed. "Jody could be here in around five hours. She could take her until we get Cas back and figure everything out."

"I'm not going to be five hours away from our daughter." Jo said as she walked over to the bassinet and looked at the sleeping infant.

Dean sighed in relief at hearing Jo saying, 'our daughter'. "Okay, so Jody holes up close by and stays with Ami." He agreed knowing he wasn't comfortable with Amelia being that far away from both of them.

"Call her." Jo said softly.

"Jo," Dean said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "I love you both so damn much." He murmured in her ear.

Reaching up she put her hand over his as she leaned back into the hug. "I love you too." She told him as she prayed Gabriel wasn't lying when he told them she wasn't involved with another man in whatever dimension they pulled her from and that she was truly free to love this man."

"He's secured." Sam announced as he came back into the room and stopped when he saw his brother and Jo standing together. "Sorry," he said as he started to back out of the room.

"Don't leave Sammy." Jo told him as Dean kissed her neck.

"I'll call Jody," Dean said as he grabbed his phone and hit the sheriff's number on his speed dial.

"We're going to ask if she can come and take Ami." Jo explained at Sam's questioningly look.

"Good." He said, mentally agreeing on getting the baby away from the bunker.

Jo reached down and lifted the sleeping child into her arms. Holding her close as she watched Dean talking on the phone.

"How are you holding up?" The younger Winchester asked.

"I don't know. I'm praying that he is at least being honest that whatever dimension I'm from that I'm not committed to another because no matter what I love your brother."

"What about if he really is Amelia's biological father?"

Jo looked up at the other man. "Dean is Amelia's father no matter what because he loves her unconditionally."

Sam smile as he reached across and ran his fingers through Ami's hair. "We both do," he whispered.

"I know," Jo returned Sam smile. "She is a very lucky little girl to have a father and an uncle who love her the way you both love her."

"That's because we are a family."

"Family," Jo repeated as she reached out and squeezed Sam's hand.

"Jody should be here around dawn."' Dean said as he joined them.

Sammy watched as his brother wrapped his arms around Jo's middle and watched his sleeping daughter.

"Why don't you two put Ami down for the night and then hit the hay. I've got Gabriel."

Dean looked up at his brother. "Give me a few hours and then I can relieve you."

"Dean, I got this. Spend this time with your family." Sam told him.

Dean opened his mouth to argue but stopped when Jo leaned back into his embrace and sighed. "If you're sure." He said instead as he squeezed Jo reassuringly before dropping his arms.

"I'm sure. Go."

Sam watched as Dean and Jo headed towards the bunker sleeping quarters and hoped his brother and Jo would be able to weather the upcoming storm.

Jo kissed her daughter one last time before placing her in her crib. She watched her for a few seconds before heading into the adjoining bedroom.

Dean stood by the doorway. "She didn't wake up?"

"Nope, I think she's out for the rest of the night." Jo said as she sat down on the bed.

Dean slowly walked into the room and joined her when she gave him a shy smile and patted the spot next to her. She saw the hesitation in his eyes and reached down and grabbed his hand.

"Do you want me to sleep in my old room?" He asked.

"No," she told him quickly. "I don't want that. I... I want you here... I need you here with me...with us..." she stammered.

"Good because I need be with you too." He told her honestly as he pulled her onto his lap and buried his face into her neck.

He wasn't too sure how long they stayed that way but eventually Jo suggested they get undressed and try to get some sleep. They both got up and began to get ready for bed.

Dean couldn't help smiling as Jo picked up his discarded shirt and slipped it on over her nude body.

She had been wearing his shirts to bed over the past month, usually stealing one of his tee shirts after they did the laundry but the other night after they made love for the first time she snagged his discarded shirt and slipped it on. Damn if that didn't just turn him on.

Shucking his jeans, he climbed into bed and gently pulled Jo closer and sighed when she kissed his chest before settling her head on the same spot.

"Jo, he could be lying about no one looking for you." He told her as he kissed the top of her head.

Jo reached down and entwined their hands together. "I know and we'll deal with it if he is lying but it doesn't change how I feel about you." She said as she turned her head slightly and kissed his chest again.

"Even if Michael pulled you from your dimension to trick me into making love with you to help create a vessel for him?"

Jo sighed as she thought about what he was saying. She sat up so that she could look Dean in the eyes.

"If that really is what happened then honestly it pisses me off, but I can't say I regret it because if it is true then we made a beautiful daughter together and I could never regret our Amelia."

Dean smiled as he nodded his head in agreement. "I do have one regret," he confessed.

Jo swallowed nervously. "You do?"

He reached up to cup her cheek. "I regret not being there the whole time. To have been able to watch as your body changed as Amelia grew inside of you. To have felt her moving, to be with you when you had your sonograms, all of it."

"Well we'll have to do something about that." She said as she beamed at his words. She loved this man no matter what and she wasn't about to let whatever they find out to come between them.

"Oh, what do you have in mind?" He teased.

Jo smirked as she began to unbutton his shirt. "I don't know. Do you have any ideas?"

Dean grinned when she slipped his shirt off and knelt nude before him. "Oh, I definitely have some ideas." He said as he put his hands under the blankets and shoved his boxers down before throwing them across the room as Jo chuckled.

"Oh my...are those the boxers I bought you?" She asked with a laugh as they landed on the lamp on the desk.

"Yup," he said with a grin. "Now get under these blankets with me woman so we can go over my ideas."

"Yes Sir," she purred as she slid in beside Dean. Both finding the comfort and love they needed in each other's arms.
