The room was complete silence. No one knew what to say or do. The room was a mess and everyone had tears in their eyes. Paige, Phoebe, and Piper all had fresh tears running down their faces as they looked at Kat laying in the center of the circle. Sam was shocked, he couldn't move. He was standing behind his brother just trying to get his mind to comprehend what had just happened. Dean was kneeling on the floor holding Kat's lifeless body. Even he couldn't hold his emotions completely. There were a few drops, but more of anger than anything else. It seemed like the whole world had just stopped. Everyone was trying to grasp the subject at hand and were rerunning the events through their minds.

Piper- "Where the hell is Leo!" voice full of anger and sadness.

Phoebe- "Piper, it's not his fault." with a soft sadness.

Paige- "What about Wyatt?"

Sam- "What are you talking about? He's just a baby!"

Piper- "That actually proves a good point."

Piper got up and went over towards the playpen and picked up Wyatt. Sam was watching with some hope in his eyes as Phoebe came over and grabbed Sam's hand reassuringly. They all watched as Piper placed Wyatt next to Kat. Dean looked up but refused to let Kat go. He just kept looking into her still face. He was doing the only thing he could think to do, and that was to hold her.

Leo had been watching above and had seen what was happening. He knew that the only way to save Kat or even have a chance at healing her was to wait until she would almost cross over. He wasn't even sure if that would work with the force that the demon had. Leo then saw that Piper was carrying their first born over to maybe try to help to heal Kat. This might just work he thought to himself.

Piper- "Here you go buddy. Can you heal Kat?" trying to hid the sadness in her voice as she talked to Wyatt.

Wyatt looked up at his mother was a childish smile and sparkling eyes. He then placed his hands on Kat. The whole room seemed to hold their breath as they watched Wyatt's hands begin to glow. They were all happy that this would work. After a few seconds nothing was happening. Dean and Sam exchanged glances and then they looked over towards Piper.

Piper- "I'm sorry. It was a long shot." her voice grew soft.

Dean looked like he was about to break down, but then turned back to Kat and started doing CPR.

Dean- "DAMN IT, KAT! I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DO THIS TO ME! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE ON ME!"

Sam- "Dean…" he began to approach his brother but Phoebe stopped him as Paige and Piper looked on sadly.

Dean- "COME ON! YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DIE LIKE THIS!"

He continued to try until he realized that it wasn't working. Finally the tears fell out of frustration and loss as he cradled her head close to his chest.

Leo was up in another world watching and waiting. He then finally saw Kat standing in front of him with a very confused look on her face. It was a very bright place, like seeing a sunrise among the clouds. There was a warm good feeling to it.

Kat- "Leo, am I…"

Leo- "Not yet, but we have to hurry." as he approached her.

He took her hands in his and began to heal her. There was even more glowing and a very calm warming sensation went through Kat. She was starting to feel lightheaded again and slowly felt herself start to slip away. Everything began to fade until she could feel again. The feeling was very much alive.

Paige and Piper were comforting each other while Phoebe was trying her best to be there for Sam. Sam really appreciated her being there for him. Their hearts all broke about Kat and it hurt even more to see Dean. Even Sam had never seen Dean like this before. It was as if he let his walls come down, in order to grieve properly.

As Dean was still holding Kat, lost in his guilt and pain, Leo orbed in next to Piper. She turned to him and was about to say something when she broke down. He pulled her close to his chest as she began to sob. He comforted her bout kept his eyes on Kat.

Piper- "Leo, where were you? We tried but…"

Leo- "I know. Just look."

Phoebe and Paige heard Leo and they all looked at him and followed his gaze. Sam's eyes never left his brother or Kat. At first they were confused but then they saw Kat's chest begin to slowly rise and fall. Kat's eyes were beginning to flutter and she slowly opened them. She looked up at Dean and was then pulled into him. She could feel his warm tears falling onto her as he tightened his grip on her. It felt like he was never going to let go of her.

Kat- "Dean." she said softly.

Dean was too caught up in his own grief to notice that she was alive and staring at him. He didn't even hear her speak his name. Everyone else in the room began to smile as they saw that Kat was fine. Only Dean seemed to be mourning someone that wasn't meant to be mourned yet. Kat thought that it was kinda ironic to finally be able to see him break down those walls.

Kat- "Dean." she tried to say louder.

When he still didn't hear her she lifted a shaky hand and put it around him. She then began to slowly rub small circles on his back. She was comforting and at the same time trying to reassure him that she was fine. The touch caused Dean to tense and he pulled Kat away from him. Dean was then staring into her very alive eyes, which were meeting his red, dazzling, green eyes.

Dean was looking into those eyes and couldn't believe. It seemed like it had been forever since he had seen those eyes. He couldn't believe it. He really hoped that his mind was playing some cruel trick on him. She just didn't seem real. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like an eternity passed before he could finally form words.

Dean- "Kat? But you…" he trailed off not fully wanting to admit it. His eyes were pleading for her to say something.

Kat- "I know. I'm here…" she grabbed his hand and brushed it against her cheek.

Dean pulled Kat as close to him as possible and began to kiss her face all over. Phoebe embraced Sam as his emotions began to cause his knees to buckle. Paige couldn't help but laugh out of happiness as Piper and Leo looked on in joy.

Phoebe- "That certainly was exciting."

Paige- "You were very lucky. The only positive is that the demon won't be coming back now."

Kat- "Thanks to Leo. And thanks to Chris we're back to normal."

Piper- "Well, I think that everyone could use a little rest right now. We'll clean up later."

Dean got up and helped Kat up. Sam went over and gave Kat a hug more to prove to himself that she was really there.

Sam- "Don't ever do that again."

Kat- "I don't plan on it."

Phoebe- "Come on Sam. Let's give them some time a lone."

Sam nodded and followed Phoebe upstairs. Piper and Leo went over to the boys and began to play with them. Paige and Kat embraced and then she orbed over to be with Henry for the night. As Dean and Kat began to make their way over to the stairs, Kat began to sway a little and Dean grabbed her waist to steady her. She looked back and smiled at him and before she could stop him and protest, he was carrying her up the stairs to their room.


By the time they entered the room, their lips were intertwined. Once they made it to the bed, it didn't take long before their passion began to control them. As time went by, and a few tangled bed sheets later, with clothes thrown all over the floor, Dean and Kat laid in the bed talking. She was leaning on his chest with his arms wrapped around her.

Dean- "That was worth it. Kinda. Never do that again. I don't think I've ever been…"

Kat- "Shhh… I know. Don't want ou to get too chick flicky there."

Dean- "Yah, I think I spent my limit today on those."

Kat- "So, since we're open now. I know you wanna know about Chris."

Dean- "And I now that you want to know about Cassie."

Kat- "I guess I'll go first since I scared you enough to crack through the Winchester emotional walls."

Dean grinned and then nodded for her to continue. This was the closest that they had felt in a long time. As they talked their fingers were intertwined in a very intimate, loving, caring way.

Kat- "We had fun. He was back from the future to keep Wyatt from turning evil and he and I just clicked. He was the first guy that even gave me half the feeling of when I was with you. For some reason I just let him in. It wasn't quite the same as with you but it was close. We understood each other but both of us had others that we were connected to. I was still stuck on you and he had someone in the future, I think her name was Bianca."

Dean- "So he had to go back?"

Kat- "Yes, I'd like to think that's where he is right now."

Dean- "Well, I met Cassie while dad and I were on a job in Ohio. She was finishing up college and she was just as stubborn as me. It took a while but we ended up getting pretty close. She was the first person I loved after you."

Kat- "So you loved her and dumped her?"

Dean- "I told her about the hunting. She thought I was crazy which I guess wasn't too far off. She thought I wanted to break up with her and then I had to leave with dad. She called for help a while ago, but the realist part of us made us realize that we wouldn't work."

Kat- "We are doomed to each other." she said smiling at him.

Dean- "Yeah, I can think of worse versions of hell."

Kat- "Because of this I just lost all of my freedom, didn't I?"

Dean- "You will never be out of sight."

Kat- "We'll see about that."

He pulled her closer to him, kissed the top of her head and both drifted off to sleep.


Phoebe and Sam stayed up most of the night talking. They shared all sorts of stories and the connection between them grew. They talked about past loves, battles, school, vision, siblings, and the future. They both knew that Dean, Kat, and Sam were leaving in the morning and promised to keep the relationship going. They had so much in common and were both beginning to truly feel love for one another. Then they both did something that they really needed and then fell asleep.


Dean got up really early and looked down to see Kat sleeping very peacefully. He quietly got out of bed and went downstairs to get some coffee. He was very pleased to see Paige down there with coffee already made.

Paige- "I made the power binding spell for you although I think that you should have asked her fist. And there's some for Riley to."

Dean- "It's the safest way. Thank you."

Paige- "Just don't let her know I was part of this because I still think it's wrong. But I can see you're doing it for her."

Dean- "So, how do I get her to take it?"

Paige- "Just put it in her coffee and she might feel a little lightheaded, but other than that she won't notice."

Dean- "Thanks again. For everything. Witches aren't so evil anymore."

Paige- "Yeah that's what white lighters are here for. And I don't want to kick or orb any part of you anymore either."

They exchanged smiles as Dean poured the potion into the coffee and headed back upstairs. Phoebe and Piper walked into the kitchen having overheard the previous conversation.

Phoebe- "I can't believe he's doing that to her."

Paige- "I kinda agree. He's only trying to protect her which he might just end up doing. He should at least tell her though."

Piper- "Wow, you did a complete turn around from before. And that's going to be their problem. We have another problem here."

Phoebe- "Another problem?"

Paige- "I think you already know what we're talking about." eyeing her sisterly.

Piper- "You know. You and Sam." raising her eyebrows.

Phoebe- "I honestly don't know what you're talking about."

Paige- "Would you just dish already!"

Phoebe- "We have a lot in common. He's a really good person and I know we'll be seeing him again…soon."

Piper- "Yep she likes him."

Paige- "Finally going for the good guy. And for once he doesn't want to kill us."

The sisters continued to have their bonding time while preparing for the day and getting ready to say, hopefully a short, goodbye to their friends.


When Dean got back up to the room with the coffee, Kat was still sleeping. Dean took a few minutes to just take comfort in watching her. Unbeknownst to Dean, Kat had been awake since he left. She could smell the coffee and feel him staring at her.

Kat- "Be careful or you might just stare a hole through me."

Dean- "And just how long have you been up? I have coffee."

Kat- "I can tell." turning over and starting to sit up to look at him better.

Dean walked over to the bed and handed her the cup. He leaned down and kissed her before taking a seat on the bed. He watched carefully as she drank her cup.

Dean- "You okay?"

Kat- "Yeah. Just the caffeine. Well I think we should get a shower before we wake up Sam."

Dean smiled as both he and Kat got out of the bed and headed towards the bathroom. They took a very long, hot shower full of distractions. When they were done they quickly got ready for the day and packed all of their d belongings back up. Then hand in hand they walked to Sam's room (which was Phoebe's room).

They walked in and saw Sam still laying fast asleep in the bed. Even in sleep Sam had a smirk on his face. Dean saw the way the room looked and had a look of a proud, very proud brother on his face. Kat just rolled her eyes thinking about just how much she missed not being surrounded by testosterone manly boys.

Dean- "Morning Sunshine!" pulling the covers off of Sam.

Sam- "Dean!" groggily.

Dean- "Well seems you had a very successful night. But we have to head out soon to make it to PA in a reasonable time. So get your lazy ass up and get ready!"

Kat- "Sorry, you know how he is when he's ready. Personally I think he's scared of witches still."

Dean- "No. Paige and I made up. But jobs are jobs."

Sam slowly got out of the bed as Dean and Kat started to take the stuff down. It took Sam only half an hour to shower, dress, pack, and meet Kat and Dean downstairs. Dean was sitting on one of the chairs with Kat on his lap. The sisters were on the couch and Leo was sitting on the arm rest. They were all laughing and catching up. When Phoebe saw Sam she got up and stood next to him with a smile on her face.

Dean- "So I take it we're all ready here?"

Kat- "Whenever you are. I don't know about Sam though."

Everyone got up and shared in hugs as they said their goodbyes.

Paige- "It was nice to see you again and nice meeting your two partners."

Piper- "Anytime you're around stop by."

Phoebe (to Sam)- "It was very nice to meet you. I have a very good feeling that we'll meet again soon. Remember it's a gift and if you need anything let me know. Keep in touch and take care."

Sam- "I'll try and I hope to see you soon. I'll write as soon as possible."

They embraced in a kiss as everyone looked on. Dean started to open his mouth but Kat stopped him. She grabbed his hands and lead him over to the car. Dean went to the drivers side as Kat went to shotgun. A few minutes later Sam slid into the back. They waved on last time and headed towards PA. Dean slipped in his Def Leopard tape and smiled as "Pour Some Sugar On Me," came on as they pulled away from the house and were on their way.

The End
