Sam had found the bones quite quickly and took great pleasure in burning them. He had seen the spirit once before it left this plane of existence. That fully reassured him that his brother was going to be back to himself when he ran back into the cabin.

He instantly ran over towards Dean's body and screamed his name. He was relived when he saw Dean shot up and answer him.

Dean- "Sammy would you quit screaming, I have a killer headache. Oh and by the way I heard your whole little conversation with Kat and you or her are definitely going to tell me exactly what that secret is!"

Then both boys looked over at Kat's limp, barely breathing body as her good arm was still chained to the wall. They could now see the wound which was a lot worse than Sam had originally thought it was. There was a growing puddle of blood that didn't help much either.

Before Sam even had time to think Dean was over looking at her. Sam had never seen Dean quite so worried.

Dean- "Sam go get the car as close as possible, we're going to the hospital."

Sam ran to the car and drove right to the steps just as Dean was carrying Kat down the steps. He opened the back door, gently laid Kat down and slid into the back with her. He put her head in his lap and kept pressure on the wound. Sam drove the fastest that he had driven and they arrived at a hospital in about 20 minutes.

Sam and Dean were sitting in a waiting room waiting anxiously to see that Kat was okay and both not wanting to talk about what just happened. Dean had so many questions to ask both of them about the secret that they were keeping from him, but he was too worried and knew that it was not a good time to even ask Sam. Plus his head was starting to hurt a lot again!

Sam saw his brother wince with pain and bring his hand to his stitched head.

Sam- "You really should get really stitches."

Dean- "I'm fine, I don't need any!"

Sam- "Dean, it's not like you're going to miss anything. You can't do anything to help her right now, why don't you just let them do it."

Dean was feeling extremely guilty about what had happened. He also knew that Sam was right a reluctantly gave in.

About an hour later Sam had to nudge Dean awake who had fallen asleep in a nearby chair. Sam had known that it was best to just let him sleep but he also knew how much Dean would truly want to kill him if he didn't let him hear the news at the same time.

Doctor- "Well, she just got out of surgery and is on her way to the recovery room. It was touch and go for a little while but she is stabilized. She did lose a lot of blood and is extremely weak at this point. She's lucky that you two go to her. I have two chairs in there and you two can both go in. Just don't wake her up and if she wakes up while you're in there, take it easy with her. And if it gets to late, you two can stay the night."

Dean and Sam both looked worried still even after the good news that Kat was going to be fine. They both just stood there in shock when finally the doctor spoke to them again.

Doctor- "She's going to be fine. Believe me. Just follow me and I'll take you to her room."

The room was pretty plain but it was a single due to the careful watching. Sam and Dean had both never seen Kat so still. She was always doing something and for her to just be laying there so still was scary. She had a few IV's running from her arms and one was giving her some much needed blood. Dean was must shocked at her extremely pale face. All of the fun loving color was gone and it was all his fault.

Sam had sensed what his brother was thinking and looked over at him with a reassuring look.

Sam- "Dean it's not your fault. And we're all fine. She might kick your butt when she wakes up but other than that, it's going to be fine."

Dean- "Sam, how can you say that? I'm so sorry to both of you."

Sam- "Dean, it's fine. Try not to worry."

Dean- "If it wasn't for me, none of this would have happened. Maybe if I would have never let my feelings come out towards Kat so many years ago. And then to go so far and just up and leave her and now I almost killed her after she was trying to help us."

Sam- "Dean, this isn't helping it's just getting you upset. Plus I don't think that you need to worry anymore." this time he motioned with his eyes towards the bed and Dean's gaze followed his brothers.

Kat's eyes fluttered open and she slowly began to focus.

Dean- "Kat… I'm so sorry… I should have never…"

Kat- "Dean, don't worry about, I'll kick your ass later. You could help by getting me some water." she said this so softly that it came out just above a whisper.

Dean nodded and went out to get some ice in a cup for her as a tear of relief slid down his face. He couldn't believe how close he had come to killing a woman that he loved and his own brother.

Sam- "So how do you feel now?"

Kat- "Oh, super. Truthfully extremely tired, weak and in pain, but don't let Dean know or he'll start to lock me in rooms to keep me "safe" you know?"

Sam- "Yeah, I know what you mean. So how much did you hear?"

Kat- "All of it although I wasn't sure if it was real or not."

Sam- "So are you going to tell him?"

Kat- "Once I sign out, we can got back to Lawrence. Anyways, I need to talk to Brittany because I think we may need to stay for at least a week. Missouri said that there is some stuff that we can do there that would be worth while."

Sam gave a little smirk and just nodded. Dean came back into the room and just looked at the two of them.

Dean- "What?"

Sam- "We are going back to Lawrence, for at least a week. Kinda like a little vacation although Missouri seems to think that there might be something to keep us busy."

Dean- "Sounds good. Vacations are always nice. Plus we owe her anyway."

Kat- "Well, are we going?" She was trying to sit up and failing miserably at it. Dean noticed and went over to help her sit up and she slapped his hand way declaring that she was going to do it on her own.

Dean- "Fine but at least let us get you a wheel chair. I don't even think that you should be doing as much as you're doing right now!"

Kat- "I think I can…"

Dean- "No you can't and we're going to take care of you for a change and I don't care what you say!"

Sam just laughed at the look on Kat's face. If only looks could kill he though to himself. And with that they signed Kat out against the advice of the doctors but they knew that Missouri would be a big help and that Kat was not going to stay any longer.

And with that the three of them began on the journey home.

The End
