It was morning; Sam sat at the table drinking his coffee while brooding. Emma sat on the bench watching him, she was worried. She heard Dean bang his way out of the bathroom and stood at the entrance looking at them both. But he kept his eyes on Emma more then he did Sam. Obviously his brother's brooding did nothing for him. He walked over to her.

"Have you had breakfast?" he asked softly. She looked at him.

"I'm not hungry"

"How long are you going to be mad at me?" he asked.

"I'm not mad" he cocked his head at her.

"You're not mad, so why aren't you talking to me"

"I've got nothing to say" she had had a dream too last night, and in her mind she knew she had something to do today before leaving town. Dean sighed and leant against the bench.

"What's up with Dr Zeus this morning?" dean asked.

"He had a vision last night" dean turned to her.

"And you didn't tell me?"

"You were asleep, I wasn't, so he told me, I'll be out of your way soon so he'll confide in you again" she got off the bench. He took her arm.

"Emma let it out, give it to me"

"I had a dream last night, I was in a room, and you were standing in front of me, I had this piece of paper in my hand and it then burned –"

"You had that dream to?" Sam finally said something. They turned to him.

"Yeah why?" Emma asked.

"Cause I had it, that was my vision, do you know what the paper said?"

"All I know is that I have to go to the registry office before I leave town" Emma told them.

"We'll wait for you" dean said.

"No, you guys go on to Lawrence, I'll catch up" dean just looked at her. "I promise I'll catch up"

"Fine. Lets get packing Sam" Sam moved off to do that but dean just stood there.

"Weren't you leaving?" she asked him. He moved closer to her.

"You know I would die for you princess, please don't do anything without me" she looked at him; he was so close and held this bit of emotion in his eyes. Something that was rarely seen.

"I won't do anything you wouldn't be proud of"

"That's not what I'm asking" in truth, apart from the little he remembered of his mother, Emma was the only woman that ever understood him. He could be him. In truth, if she wasn't his sister. She would make a fantastic girlfriend. Lucky guy that ever landed Emma Winchester.

"I know what your asking, and I can only give you so much commitment, I wont look for trouble, I'll do my business here and meet up with you guys on the way to Lawrence" he nodded.

"Fair enough" he gave her a kiss on the cheek and moved off to help Sam. She leant on the bench. And watched them pack.

The dream had made all the difference to her thoughts and decisions this morning. Their game from last night forgotten now. She packed her bag and went to her car.

"I'll see you guys on the road" she gave them each a hug and left.

Sam looked over at Dean. "I don't have to tell you I don't have a good feeling about this"

"No you don't, but I'll know we'll hear about it before she does anything" they packed the Impala, checked out and drove out of town.

Walking into the Registry office, she went to the desk.

"Good Morning, I was wondering if I could check birth records?" the woman smiled at her.

"Sure honey, what's your name?"

"Emmanuelle Winchester"

"Lovely name! not easily forgotten, hang on a second –" the woman went off to check if they had it. Emma looked around the place, it wasn't full of people which was obvious for this small town.

The woman came back 20 minutes later. With a file in her hand.

"Big file, I didn't think I had such a large record of life" Emma noted.

"oh most don't, but your case is special" the woman smiled at her.

"how so?"

"well with your adoption and all, from what I've glanced at" the floor fell from below her.

"yeah that's right my adoption, I just need copies, dad's out of town and he told me he needed them for our family tree" Emma played along.

"well no problem, here are some copies for you, anything else I can do for you?" the woman asked. Emma gave her one of her famous smiles.

"no that's all, thankyou for being so helpful" Emma made her way to her car and sat down, she opened the file slowly. Her heart pounding in her ears.

She started reading.

Because Mary had always wanted a little girl, and after having two boys, they made a decision to adopt a little girl at about the same age as Sam, so that they could grow up together.

The little girl's name that they had adopted was Emma, her natural parents had died in a car crash under abnormal circumstances.

Now she understood so much of why her father, John Winchester didn't like her, or seemed to have hatred for her. She understood, why did Mary have to die, and not the little stranger they had adopted into their lives.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She had to find her father, who was turning more and more into a stranger with every minute that ticked by.

What broke her heart more was that she wasn't Sam or Dean's blood sister. The connection was broken. Her car roared to life and she sped off, she had to reach Lawrence and then she would go Rogue as John Winchester loved to call her disappearing acts.

She needed Dean, he was her support. Sam would be too sensitive for this call. So she dialled Dean's number.

"honey, I hope your calling to tell me your on the road to Lawrence"

"Dean, I need you" her voice broke.

"what's wrong" he demanded. "where are you?"

"I'm on the highway, I – " the phone went dead. Dean slammed the brakes on the Impala and did a donut turn. Sam looked at him.

"whats going on?"
"Emma" was all dean said, as they sped back the way they came. "keep your eyes peeled for her car"

It didn't take long for them to spot her. Her black car was parked on the side of the road. They got out and ran to the car but didn't see her. Dean found her sitting on the ground leaning on her car, a file in her hands.

They knelt in front of her.

"Princess whats wrong?"

"our connection - , its broken" she gave dean the file. The look of astonishment on both of their faces was priceless, they didn't expect that blow.

"that son of a bitch, he never told us" sam said. Dean looked at Emma. She was hurting.

"Honey I'm so sorry" he told her. She looked at him.

She stood up a bit better that they were there with her.

"well I guess that explains a lot"

"what do you mean?" sam asked her.

"the resentment he feels to me, never once growing up did he ever hug me, or tell me he loved me, I mean why would he when I'm not his blood, -" dean hugged her therefore stopping her tirade, he gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"are you going to ask him about it?" sam asked.

"if she doesn't then I will, its enough that he gives us enough bullshit over hunting and whatever, but to put her through hell and not tell her truth? Where's his obligation of fatherhood?" dean rambled. Sam looked at dean.

He had never seen this side of him before. Oh he'd seen him go nuts over Emma's escapades etc, but this was different.

"ok so we need to call him, tell him to meet us in Lawrence, that the demon is there" sam told them. Dean looked at Emma.

"you ok to drive that far?" she gave him a slight smile.

"I'll be fine, let's go"

"you lead, we'll follow" they watched as she drove off then they followed her.

ok so was that a shocker?
