When they got to the motel, Sam opened the door and began to fill bags of ice and get cold washcloths as Dean carried Kat in and laid her on the nearby bed. He then decided that it would be best to check her temperature just to see how bad this was. When it beeped, it was 110!

Dean- "This is really not good!"

Sam- "What?"

Dean- "Her temp is 110! People aren't suppose to be alive with that and she's still breathing on her own and everything!"

Sam- "Okay, so as much as she already wants to kills us, she's gonna want to kill as so more cause we're getting her to the hospital!"

Dean just simple nodded knowing that was the best choice. The got back into the car and headed to the emergency doors.

The hospital was close and both boys were relived that Kat was going in and out of consciousness because at least they knew that she was still alive. Although she was really out of it they could still see the strong protest in her eyes, with her knowing full well where they were taking her.

Once they arrived Dean carried Kat in and she was instantly be looked at by the doctors. They asked the boys questions of what was going on and everything. It was all happening so fast. Meanwhile all sorts of doctors were checking her out and hooking machines up to her.

Dean- "She just passed out. We took her temp and it was 110."

Doctor- "That's impossible. She's still breathing on her own, people don't survive 110."

Then one of the other doctors brought over the thermometer which read 110 and the doctor's eyes widened in shock.

Doctor- "This is impossible. Let's get her to a room and see what we can do."

He glanced at the boys and reassured him that they would do what they could to make her better. As they were wheeling her away, she was barely conscious and mentioned to the doctor not to tell them about it, that they didn't need to know about it. The doctor simply agreed and continued taking her to the closest room.

After about 3 hours the doctor finally emerged back to Sam and Dean. Both boys looked really bad. They knew that this was actually their fault and didn't want to think of what was a possible outcome.

Doctor- "Her fever is still up but we're giving her some antibiotics that should help to bring it down. We're also hydrating her and gave her some sedatives to keep her out for a while which should give her body a better chance to fight whatever is causing this fever. It's as if her whole body is overheated. You two can go in and see her but she won't be waking up for a while."

Dean- "Thanks, Doc."

Sam and Dean looked at each other and both let out a breath that neither knew they were holding. Then they followed the doctor to the room that Kat was staying. She really did look like all she was doing was sleeping. Except for the fact that she looked pretty worn out but other than that she looked pretty good. Sam saw the extreme guilt in Dean's eyes and understood how he felt.

Sam- "Dean, don't worry after she kick's your ass, you two will make up like you always do except at least give me a warning so I'm not in the room!"

Dean- "Yeah, yeah! You know if you wouldn't have met that girl none of this would have happened."

Sam- "Yes, but at the same time you , "Mr. Perfect", was also taken in by her!"

Dean- "Just next time go for a real girl!"

Sam- "You're still jealous cause she liked me more than you."

Dean- "Sam she was a creature! That's the only reason. Any other girl would have been all over me."

Sam- "Don't flatter yourself. Besides I think you have all the woman if not more that you can handle right now. You do know that she still loves you right? I mean even after this she's gonna still be there."

Dean- "Why do you always have to all chick flick on me? And I already know that cause no one, and I mean no one, can resist my charm!"

Sam and Dean both let our a well needed laugh.

Both boys just watched as she slept and then they two both fell asleep only to awakened by a nurse checking her vitals a few hours later.

Nurse- "Her temp is going down very slightly but that is definitely a good sign. Sorry but visiting hours are over soon and I can't let you two stay the night. There is a motel right around the corner."

Sam- "Thanks."

Dean and Sam took one last look at Kat and headed towards the motel.

Kat was pretty much in and out of sleep for two weeks. Each day her fever as well as the rest of her body temp. Dean and Sam were in her room every day. Mostly she slept but the few times that she was with them, they simply kept her spirits up.

When Sam and Dean had entered the room Kat looked like she was still sleeping so they both took a seat as quietly as possible. Sam was looking at the window and Dean was staring at Kat when Kat's cell phone rang. Dean had forgotten that it was even at the hospital with them.

Dean- "Hello?"

Missouri- "Dean? Honey, where's Kat? I need to talk to her!"

Dean- Missouri…um…she's sleeping right now. We ran into some trouble and she's getting better but kinda out right now."

Missouri- "Boy, you have to do a better job of keeping her safe! She should be back here by now. How soon will she be getting out?"

Dean- "Not sure yet. What does she need to come home for anyway?"

Missouri- "That's not my job to tell. She'll tell you when she's ready. Just remind her that it's in a week now and it's pretty important now that she's out with you two again that she be back in time."

Dean- "Fine. Hopefully I'll see you soon. Say hi to Hunter and Riley for me."

Missouri- "Of course. Better see you soon bye."

Dean hung up the phone and just stared at Kat. There was yet another thing that he wasn't telling her. Missouri knew and Kat had even told the doctor not to mention it to him or Sam.

Kat- "I can't believe the two of you!" Her eyes were still closed but she could tell they were in the room and her voice was weak but she got her point across.

Sam- "Kat! How are you feeling?"

Kat- "Better than before. How long?"

Dean- "You've been in and out for about 2 weeks now."

Kat- "Two weeks!" her eyes flew open and she was struggling to sit up only to have her head protest.

Dean was by the side of the bed and put a hand on her shoulder letting her know that it was best for her to just stay laying down.

Sam- "Just relax. You're fevers down now, but it's still a little high."

Kat- "What?"

Dean- "Whatever that thing did to you it rose your body temp and gave you quite the fever. By medical standards you shouldn't have been breathing on your own or even alive. It was 110 when we brought you in."

Kat- "I guess I should say thanks but at the same time it's not like it was my fault this time!"

Sam- "Okay, I admit you were right and we were wrong but it's not completely our fault."

Kat- "Yeah I know. Guys are the weaker sex and you can't help that."

Dean couldn't keep his mind off of the phone call and decided that now was probably the best time to ask her before she had enough strength to truly kick his ass.

Dean- "Missouri called. Would you like to explain why you have to be back?"

Kat- "No but we do have to go back. Why don't one of you go sign me out?"

Sam- "Not going to happen the doctor says that you have to at least another week."

Kat- "Great!"

Dean- "Kat why do you have to keep secrets?"

Kat- "I don't know, why do you? If it's really important I'll tell you but right now it's just not the time and you'll fined out soon."

Dean- "For some reason your secrets always seem to be a bit bigger than mine, but I'll let it go for now. Take that as our apology."

The week that she had to stay at the hospital was horrible. It was one thing when she was actually in need of the care but another when she was feeling fine. She hated hospitals and hated being taken care of like that. Her temp had gone back to normal and she had felt fine. The day that they left she was so relived. Of course she had to stay in the back and be wheeled out in a wheelchair, but at least they were headed home.

When they were about half way back to Lawrence, Kat had closed her eyes in order to prepare herself for her visit with Susan and Brittany. It would be great to catch up but the initial reason for going wasn't always that pleasant.

Dean kept staring back at Kat in the rearview mirror checking on her and trying to figure out what was going on. Kat could feel him staring at her and without opening her eyes finally broke the silence.

Kat- "What? You should be looking at the road not back here?"

Dean- "You're not pregnant are you?"

This caught Kat's attention and she flew up and was leaning on the two front seats with very shocked eyes. This even caught Sam's attention and he was looking at his brother like he was crazy or something.

Kat- "Firs off no and where did that come from?"

Dean- "Just making sure."

Kat- "Oh I see how it is."

Dean- "I didn't mean it like that!"

Sam- "She caught you dude. You put herself in this."

Dean- "Shut up Sammy. And I was just trying to figure out why we have to go back, not that I mind, and why it was so important that you be in 3 weeks."

Kat- "It's really nothing you need to know about. But don't worry I doubt that there will be any creatures for you two to fall head over heels for."

The rest of the ride was mainly Kat teasing both boys of how they were acting like little boys in middle school over the succubus and how idiotic they were. They only had about an hour left before heading home and Kat couldn't have been more nervous. Sam and Dean were also sensing something wasn't right but had now idea.

THE END
