Once again I do not own Supernatural, Missouri, Sam, or Dean. I do own Kat, Hunter, and Riley but let's face it we all want to own the boys!

This is the next story in the ever going "Kat" series. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

Home Sweet Home

It had been months since Kat's last adventure with Dean and Sam. It had been two months shorter than that since she had left them and returned home. When she first arrived at home, she was expecting to see Phoebe. When she didn't she was slightly worried and instantly Missouri picked up on it. Kat soon learned that Phoebe had called after having a premonition that showed that it wouldn't be safe for herself, her and Sam's child, or Kat. Honestly, Kat wasn't too surprised to learn that Phoebe was pregnant and was even less surprised that it was Sam's. Her first instinct was to call Sam and tell him, but Phoebe didn't want her to say anything and she was not going to break that promise.

As soon as she had arrived those months ago, Kat had called Dean and assured him as well as Sam that everything was fine. Once Dean heard that they were going to have another child, he was speechless. In fact, Sam had to grab the cell phone from Dean's hand. Sam was ecstatic and after the shock, Dean couldn't hide his pride. They had all agreed that during the last 2 weeks of the pregnancy that Dean and Sam would return home and take a little time off. Not much but just a bit of a vacation.

Right after Kat had left them, she had took a break from hunting. She really didn't feel quite too safe about this one partially due to her dream from when she was home before. For some reason she saw it as an omen to a tough pregnancy. It didn't take long before she was proved right.

About 3 months into it, she began to get dizzy often and just not feeling well. She had gone to the doctors and was pretty much told that it wasn't going to be an easy time. There were going to be complications and he pretty much told her to just do nothing during it. Of course, he didn't know Kat to well. Missouri was the only one she had told about it.

Today was the day that Dean and Sam would be returning. Kat really wasn't expecting them at a certain time. She figured they'd just show up. She had a lot that she had to talk to at least Dean about. They never got a chance to really talk about the shape shifter incident. There was also something that she noticed the other day that she really had to talk to both boys about. Also to be honest, the house had seemed a little lonely to her as well.

It was a few days ago that Riley was being chased by Hunter throughout the house when one of them bumped into a table with a picture of them and Dean on it. Kat had thrown her hand towards the object and nothing happened. Other than of course it crashing to the ground and shattering. It wasn't as if she was expecting it to actually freeze but nothing happened. She didn't even feel anything.

Now she was up and pacing the house again waiting for the boys to return. Of course she had Missouri telling her that she's suppose to up in bed doing nothing, but at least she knew that she wasn't going to win with Kat. It was getting late and dark outside. Kat had already put both of the kids in bed and was pacing in front of the door. She was about to grab her cell and call them when there was a knock at the door.

Kat went as fast as possible with the bump on her stomach, and opened the door. She was greeted with the sight of Dean leaning heavily on Sam with glazed eyes. There was also a huge spot of red on the side of his shirt. It was obvious that they had made one more hunt before stopping at home.

"Hey Kat. You look great," Sam greeted as he mostly carried Dean into the living room and placed him on the couch.

"I wish I could say the same for you two. What happened?"

"Spirit. It surprised us and pushed Dean into a hook. I figured that we'd be able to handle it here."

"Okay. We have to get that cleaned up. It looks like he's already burning up. Is he hot?"

"I'm fine," Dean mumbled weakly.

"Sam," Kat was demanding an answer from him.

"Yeah. He's cooking right now," Sam answered her as he felt Dean's cheek which was radiating heat off of it.

"Okay go get some wet cloths, bandages, and some tape."

Sam nodded and went to the kitchen. Kat sat next to Dean and pulled him closer to her as she slowly began to take his shirt off of him. Once the shirt was off, he leaned into her. She couldn't believe the anger she had towards him earlier. Now she had to take care of him and that's all that mattered. Everything else could wait till later.

"So this is what happens when I leave the two of you alone. What would you guys do without me?"

Sam came back into the room and they began to aid the wounded Dean. Once he was bandaged, Sam helped get him upstairs into the bed. He laid Dean down on it and Kat practically ordered Sam to take a shower and get some sleep.

"Sam, you're not going to do him or me any good if you're exhausted. I think I can take care of him for now anyway. Besides, he's out of it right now. Call it mother instincts," Kat said to Sam with a smile on her face.

"Since when have you ever admitted those instincts of yours," Sam question playfully.

"I'd say about the time I had to get back with you two! I don't know who's worse, Dean or Hunter," Kat replied laughing softly and taking a sympathetic look towards Dean.

"Fine, I'll go. But any thing goes wrong…"

"Sam. Go get cleaned and sleep. I'll take care of him and don't worry I won't be too hard on him."

"Thanks Kat. And by the way you look great. And I mean it," He said to her as he left the room.

Kat smiled in reply and settled in next to Dean. He looked so peaceful and she hoped that it was sleep and not unconsciousness. He was just radiating heat and it worried her at how hot he was getting. His body was shivering from cold and she kept putting more blankets around him as she whipped his forehead with a wet cloth. Although she knew she should sleep, she just didn't trust it with the shape that Dean was in.

"If only you knew just how much you make my heart melt when you're like this Dean. I can't believe that you had to come home like this. You're going to be fine so that I can kick your ass for this stunt and for two other things. So hurry up and get better," Kat said to him with a smile.

Throughout the night she kept checking his fever, wound, and rewetting the cloth to try to keep him cool. This was certainly not the way that either one of them had wanted for their first time in seeing each other in months. And it was also obvious that it was not going to be an easy couple of days for Dean.
