As A doornail

The next morning I woke up first so I took a shower and got dressed then went to go make breakfast. Sam was up about an hour later and walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.

"Hey Sammy, you want some pancakes?"

"Sure."

I set the plate full of pancakes on the table and sat down across from him. We both grabbed two pancakes and started eating.

"Can I ask you something Sammy?"

"Yeah, of course you can."

"You are very capable of breaking into police files by yourselves so why did you really come to my office?"

Sam shifted in his seat a little and stared at his plate.

"We came back to try and get you to come with us again. Please Joey you know you had a blast when you were with us. It'll be just like old times."

"That's the problem Sammy I can't have it be just like old times I need more then that. I mean I'm 27 years old and I'm still in love with my high school boyfriend, that isn't healthy. Dean and I both need to move on."

"Well what about me? You're just going to ditch me as your friend. We used to be really close whenever Dad and Dean would go hunting and I was to little to go you used to baby sit me and even after that we were close like brother and sister."

"I know that Sammy and I'm not saying anything has to be different between us. We can always write or call or e-mail each other."

"Just like we have been in the past month?" Sam said sarcastically.

"Hey it's a two way street you know? I didn't see you busting your back to give me a call."

"We're here aren't we? Who's idea do you think that was? It wasn't Dean's he thought you needed like a year of space not a month. But I know he loves you and I know you love him and that's why I convinced him to come back here."

"I'm sorry Sammy but I just can't come back with you guys."

"So I just have to live with my usually hilarious and sarcastic brother who now turned into a somber and dull guy?"

"Yea… I guess you do."

"Do what?" Dean asked sitting down and grabbing some pancakes.

"I guess you guys do have to get cracking on the werewolf case." I said covering up.

"She's right Sammy you want to try and track it today?"

"Yeah sure…" Sammy said while still looking at his plate.

After breakfast they set off to go track down the werewolf while I cleaned the house. Anytime I'm nervous or anxious or upset I always clean. I guess I got that from my mother. I was going over a few of the articles for the paper when they walked in laughing.

"Is it dead?" I asked glancing up for a second.

"As a doornail." Sammy said.

"Good…so I guess you two will be getting ready to go then?" I asked staring down at my papers.

"Yeah…I guess so. Sammy go get packed I need to take Joey somewhere for about an hour."

"Dean…I really have to proof these articles."

"You can put it off for an hour. Come on it'll be fun."

"Fine…"

I put on my shoes and jacket and grabbed my keys. Dean drove us to the bridge where we first said goodbye to each other when he decided to leave with his dad. We stood on the bridge looking out onto the small creek below us.

"Why are we here Dean?"

"I need to ask you something."

"Dean for the last time I can't come with you…I'm sorry."

"That's not what I was going to ask so shut up and just listen for a second."

"Okay go ahead."

"Josephine…We've been together for a really long time now and I don't just mean romantically I mean you've been my best friend since we were kids and I would never trade our time together for anything in the world. Not even to have my mother and father back to tell you the truth. When I first left with my dad I never thought I would see you again but I just kept telling myself that you were better off without me. But now I know that neither one of us is a good person without the other. I mean we complete each other. And no I'm not going all Jerry Maguire on you but it's true. You're my other half and I don't think I can just leave you again. I mean this past month has been hell for me. I just don't care about anything anymore when I know that you're half way across the world from me. I love you. So after saying all this I guess there is only one way for me to keep you by my side forever….Josephine…."

He got down on one knee and pulled out a small ring box.

"Will you marry me?"
