The park was an odd experience for Dean. He had never really had much of a childhood and found it kind of reassuring that he was able to give his kids this. He watched as Hunter was playing with another group of boys pretending to be fighting evil and Riley was playing near the swings with a little group of girls. Sam and Dean were on one of the benches watching closely just out of habit.

Sam- "So, bet you thought we'd never be doing this."

Dean- "I'm with you there. It's odd, they have no clue what's even out there."

Sam- "That keeps them safer for the most part."

Dean- "Does it really? I mean not to bring it up Sammy but with…"

Sam- "Yeah with Jessica, but that was different. That had to do with me…us and that thing that's after us."

Dean- "So what's to say that they're safe?"

Sam- "I think that with us around, we can protect them. Plus I don't' know but I can see Hunter kicking some of evil's ass."

Dean smirked at the comment knowing full well the parallel that Sam was making between him and his son. It was almost as if it was just a usual family outing. The worry had been passing through both of their minds. Whatever had done this to their family certainly wouldn't just stop there. There was a huge chance that it would come after Riley, Hunter, and maybe even Kat.

Dean- "I'm just gonna try and make sure that they don't have to grow up like we did."

Sam- "I doubt that they'll have to."

Sam and Dean both continued to sit on the bench and watch as all the kids ran around the park taking part in a childhood that both never had. They were there for about another 2 hours when it was decided to go back home. It was based on Sam's request because he could see how distracted Dean was on what was happening back at the house and with Kat.

When Kat went home the house was empty. It was actually a big relief to know that she had some time to digest everything that she had just been told. She still really didn't want to tell Sam or Dean and was thinking of a way to either hide it or a good way of telling them.

Kat- "Wow, I never thought this house could be so quiet."

She walked upstairs to her room in hopes that something up there would give her the answer that she desperately needed. She grabbed an old poetry book and began to flip through not even looking at the words.

Kat began to speak her thoughts out loud also hoping that once they were spoken that they would just disappear.

Kat- "Of course, everything starts going great and then goes down hill. But why now? I mean why is it going so fast all of a sudden. There was so much time and then once I get my life back to a pretty damn good place, I have such less time. Uh…it's so much easier to deal with supernatural things that want to kill you then medical stuff. If we can defeat evil entities, then why can't we defeat a stupid heart condition. OMG, what am I gonna do with Riley and Hunter? They're strong but just how strong? At least I can watch out for them better and who knows, maybe haunt Dean. That would be a treat."

She let out a little chuckle that was greatly needed. The silence was really starting to get to her so she went over and put on a little Phil Vassar to listen to which always seemed to lighten the mood. It took her mind off of things to the best of it's possibility and then her phone beeped. She looked at it and there were coordinates. They actually pointed to a place right near the house. This is what she really needed. Finally she could focus on something else and take her anger out on something.

She took out her laptop and began to do some research when she heard a sound downstairs. At first she thought that it was Dean and Sam with Riley and Hunter returning from the park but it was entirely too quiet for it to be them so she cautiously went downstairs to se who it was. She was happy to see that it was Missouri which would give her someone to talk to.

Missouri- "Sorry I didn't' me to scare you dear."

Kat- "It's okay I just really wasn't expecting you to be home."

Missouri- "Well I figured you could use a friend right now."

They made some tea and took a seat at the kitchen table and sat in silence until Kat decided that she might as well open up her now so that she wouldn't have to read her mind.

Kat- "It not good." water was beginning to form behind her eyes as some tears began to flow down her cheeks.

Missouri- "How bad?"

Kat- "Well, since the last visit the time frame has gone down rapidly. It's ability to perform is decreasing so much that in around a year it won't be able to function at all. They really don't know why but there isn't' any way of fixing it." by this point she couldn't even hold back any of the tears from falling.

Missouri- "Child, I wish I knew what to say. You'll get through this. You have two wonderful kids that you have given everything to, a wonderful friend in Sam that you've always had to talk to and were always there for when he needed to talk to you, you have a great house friend that you know would do anything for you, you have those three wonderful girls that taught you how to deal with what was happening to you and helped you fight some evil because you helped them, and two best friends that have tried every medical treatment for you out there. And you have one more important thing in your life, one thing that has made you even stronger than ever."

Kat- "Yeah and what is that. Living with the fact that any day, probably soon, my heart will just stop?"

Missouri- "You have Dean. Although you two might have your little arguments and everything but that boy loves you so much that he can't even express it. He would do anything for you. The only reason that he pushes you away so often is because he loves you too much that he fears that will hurt you. Kat he would sacrifice his life for you. That love not many people come across."

Kat- "And that's why I can't tell him! He would go and do something stupid and then both of us would be in a lot of trouble. Plus if he would get himself killed Riley and Hunter would lose both of us. What happens happens and this is something that we can't stop. Plus at least I'll be able to haunt him and torture him for eternity."

Missouri- "You two are too much alike. Humor won't solve everything and it's obvious that you're hurting right now and you'll need him to get you through this."

Before Kat could answer the door opened and Dean, Sam, Riley, and Hunter walked back into the house. Dean right away could see the tears and pain in Kat's eyes. She noticed and started wiping them away in hopes that he wouldn't get to suspicious. She puts up a forced smile and looks in their direction. Riley come runner over to her and hopes on her lap.

Riley- "Oh, mom the park was so fun. You should have been there. It was so fun!"

Kat- "That's good honey. You weren't too much trouble were you?"

Riley- "Nope, never. How was your appointment?"

Kat- "It was good. Everything's good."

Missouri shot her a look but could tell that Kat really didn't want to cause any worry. Dean knew that she was lying and was about to ask her when Sam stopped him.

Sam- "Dean, she obviously doesn't want them to know so don't make her say it. Plus you two would probably just get in a screaming match."

Dean- "You can't tell me that you don't want to know what she's hiding?"

Sam- "I do but she's not going to tell us unless she wants to."

Kat hated lying but she knew it was the right thing. She could also tell by the look on Dean's face that he was going to ask her to tell the truth so she decided to switch the mood to the job.
