DISCLAIMER
Supernatural belongs to the WB. Life With Derek belongs to Disney. I got the Water-Man legend off of this website of myths and legends that I found by Googling "Urban legends---water demons". Slightly inspired by the Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode "Dead Man's Float". I only own the hotel and its' workers.
About eight hours later, Dean pulled into the parking lot of Quenton's Resort and Hotel.
"Well, here we are," he said. Sam twisted in his seat to stare at Casey, who had fallen asleep a few hours earliar.
"Should we wake her?" he asked in a hushed voice.
"Nah, just pick her up," Dean answered. They got out of the car. As they did so, George's van came up. As soon as it was parked, the Venturi and MacDonald kids climbed out, clamoring. Dean quickly shushed.
"What's your problem?" Derek asked crossly. Dean gestured to Sam who was in the process of scooping a sleeping Casey into his arms.
"Like we're supposed to care?" Derek scoffed.
"Derek," George scolded. Edwin glanced at the girl in the older man's arms.
"She's kinda cute when she's sleeping," he commented. Derek let out another scoff, but then looked at her. Casey had her arms wrapped around Sam's neck and her head was laying on his chest, her dark hair flowing all around. You know, Edwin's right. She does look kinda cute when she's asleep, Derek thought. Then he shook his head. Where had that come from?
"Okay, let's get checked in," Nora announced. Dean reached into the Impala and grabbed his and Sam's duffle. He then opened the trunk and grabbed Casey's suitcase.
"You want some help?" Sam queried.
"Nah, it's all right," Dean said.
"Are you sure? I can easily---" Sam continued.
"No. J.H. finally stopped having the nightmares and she should have a full night's sleep," Dean interrupted.
"Okay," Sam sighed. He shifted his cousin in his arms and followed his brother and his aunt's family into the hotel lobbey.
"Hi. Nora and George Venturi. We have reservations. There's also a reservation for Sam and Dean Winchester," Nora said to the desk clerk.
"Right," the man said, looking at the list. As this was going on, two bellhops came out, apparently in the middle of a heated discussion.
"I still say it was no accident," the first one insisted.
"Look, it's tragic, but accidents happen all the time. Those boys shouldn't been at the pool in the first place," the second one reminded him. Sam and Dean glanced at each other.
"Do you think---" Dean started to ask.
"No!" Sam interrupted with a hiss. "No hunting. Not this time. For once, let's just pretend to be a nice, normal family on a nice, normal vacation," he continued.
"But---" Dean began to protest.
"No," Sam interrupted again. Casey made a moaning noise. "Sorry, Cay. Go back to sleep," he apologized.
"Okay, your rooms are upstairs, down the hall, all the way to the end on the right," the desk clerk told them. Nora and George took the room keys and passed them out among the older kids. Dean took the keys for the room he was sharing with Sam. Then, they all trooped up to their rooms.
