Kat felt an odd sensation run through her. She knew at that moment that Paige had healed her. She now had to make her choice. She could stay in the world where her parents were alive, with John and Mary alive, Sam and Jess engaged, she had 2 kids with another on the way, and she was even married to Dean. Then there was the world without her parents, and hunting evil.

The sight of Dean laying unmoving on the bottom of the steps was one she could not get out of her head. Then the words that Paige had left her with stuck in her head. Paige had said that if Kat went back that with Paige's help she could save Dean. But then she wondered what if she was too late? She would be leaving a world with Dean to enter one without. She just couldn't go through with that. She knew what she had to do and also knew that in order to save the man that she really couldn't imagine living without, even though she would likely never tell him that.

She took one last look at the pictures of her "wedding day" and closed her eyes trying to bring that memory back one more time and then fell to the floor.

It felt like she had been falling for an eternity until she felt a different feel around her. She forced her eyes open and noticed that she was back in her room. She was disoriented at first and then felt some pain in her side. She looked down and saw that she was healed except for the slash that was still there. She laughed to herself for a bit knowing that Paige knew that Kat hadn't told the boys everything about her and decided to leave just the cut. Then she heard a sound of a body tumbling down the stairs. Her breath caught in her throat.

Kat- "Dean!"

Although she felt extremely dizzy, stiff, and was still in a great amount of pain, the though of Dean laying dead forced Kat to forget about it all. The adrenaline kicked in. She ran out of the room only in time to see Dean at the bottom of the steps just as Paige had shown her before.

Sam was still in the room with Riley and Hunter when he heard a crash followed by the sound of something falling down the steps ending with a loud thud. He looked back at Hunter who was holding his sister even more protectively at this point and Riley began to cry harder.

Riley- "Dad…" she whispered as she cried into her brothers chest.

Sam heard the sound of fear in her voice and saw the look of fear in Hunter's eyes. Sam felt in his own heart that this couldn't be good. Then he remembered how he felt that he had to stay close to Dean.

Sam- "Stay here. Hunter watch her okay? I'll be right back."

Hunter nodded and Sam had a flashback of this happening all too often when he was young and his dad had told Dean to watch out for him. He ran out of the room towards the stairs. At the same time he almost ran into Kat.

Sam stopped right before he collided with Kat. He couldn't believe that she was awake let alone up.

Sam- "Kat! What the…"

Kat cut him off grabbing his arm and running down towards Dean. Kat's heart was caught in her throat. She checked for a pulse and couldn't find one. The tears were now running down her face. She was too late.

Kat- "Sam…he's…he's…oh my god, Dean! I was too late. Sam…what happened?"

Sam just looked at Kat in belief and then to his brother. This was the second time in 24 hours that Sam had seen his brother like this. He just couldn't think of anything to say or do.

Sam- "Kat…are you sure? I mean maybe it's just so weak…"

Kat- "Sam…I'm not getting anything here. What…"

Kat couldn't continue. She was sobbing so hard at this point as she grabbed Dean's shoulders and lifted his dead weight up towards her. She felt a hand touch her shoulder and looked to see Paige there. She then looked at Sam who was still looking towards Kat and Dean in disbelief. He didn't see Paige there.

Paige- "Kat, if you hurry we can get him back. It's gonna take a lot out of you since I can't really heal him. I'm going to have to go through you and use some of yours."

Kat simply nodded, wiped away her tears, and laid Dean back onto the floor. Sam was still looking at the sight very confused. He couldn't understand what Kat was doing. Kat pushed everything out of her mind. She just concentrated on all the love that she had for Dean that she never admitted to him. She remembered Piper once telling her how Leo wasn't healed by her until she admitted that she loved him and that love somehow triggered the healing powers for white lighters.

While Kat was focusing she felt a surge of warmness go through her. It was as if her and Paige were one. She placed her hands over Dean's chest and felt the love flow through her.

Kat- "Damn it Dean. Come one, you can do this. This isn't the time, you know that you can't give up that easily."

Kat could feel her strength beginning to leave her. She wondered if that was a good sign. Sam was watching and saw Kat's body seem to glow and then saw her hands begin to glow. He also then saw Dean's body become illuminated. Very similar to the vision that he had had earlier with Kat. What was going on?

Just as Sam was about to step in the lights around Kat and Dean disappeared. He ran over to his brother's side and then looked at Kat. She looked so exhausted and the redness form the tears were still visible on her face. They looked at each other for moment.

Sam- "Kat what the hell was that?"

Then they heard a gasp from Dean. Both looked down to see a very alive Dean staring back at them.

Dean- "Kat? But if I'm…alive…then how are you…"

His words were caught off by Kat falling into his arms as he was starting to sit up. At first both Sam and Dean were alarmed but then they saw that she was just exhausted and was getting some much needed sleep.

Sam- "Dean, I don't know what the hell happened."

Dean- "Go down into the basement and destroy the other cross. It's in the far corner."

Sam- "What are you telling me that it came back and that's how you ended up down here?"

Dean- "Pretty much."

Sam- "Wow, and I thought that it was your own gracefulness that got you down here!"

Dean- "Shut up and just go and destroy the other cross okay!"

Sam- "Yeah and Dean."

Dean- "Yeah?"

Sam- "Don't ever do that. My god you scared us half to death. I thought that you were…dead…twice…"

Dean- "Look, no chick flick moments! I'll take Kat upstairs and I think that we could all use some sleep."

Sam- "Yeah sure. Except I might stay up a little with Hunter and Riley. We have to talk about something then."

Dean- "Yeah, yeah. Later."

With that Sam went down to the basement and quickly found the cross and crushed it repeatedly. He didn't know what had happened completely but he knew that his brother was given back to him. He then ran back upstairs to Riley and Hunter to comfort them.

Dean got up and gently carried the exhausted Kat back upstairs. He himself was very curious at what had happened but was just grateful that Kat and his own life had been given back to him. He noticed that her side was still wounded and regarded it carefully as he laid her back into the bed. He then got on his own comfortable pants, took off his shirt and settled into bed next to Kat. He would never take advantage of anything again. He put his arms around her and held her tight to let her know that he was still there and drifted off to sleep.
