Ok, so I got more responses for a sequel then I thought I would, so I am going to do it. It might be Monday or Tuesday before I get it up and running, but I am going to do it.
The sequel is going most likely going to include things like, some one for poor Sam… lol, Annie's adoptive parents, the thing that cursed Annie before she was born, things like that. How I am forming it into a story is still going on in my mind, but I am going to try.
But this is the last chapter of this part of the story, and I am so happy with all the reviews I have gotten. In my opinion, when you have more reviews then chapters, you have done at least an ok job. So thank you!
Disclaimer: I am also using another Vanessa Carlton song in this chapter, 'San Francisco' which I do not own!
Chapter 14: The Life
I stayed up all night writing this song. Once I started, I felt like I had to tell a story with it. One about California, one about Dean (and our recent experience), one about how I felt this was my home, oh, and one about coffee, just to irritate Dean.
I think I achieved it. I knew my voice wasn't going to be the same once I tried to sing. I knew that there was a chance that I didn't have my gift anymore, and even though it had been a week since I was out of the hospital, I hadn't tried to sing. I was too scared.
I was beginning to get a little bit tired as I strummed my pen on the table to the rhythm I wanted for the lyrics. The sun had begun to rise which only inspired me more.
There was a piano in the living room, I hadn't wanted to wake the boys up, but it was about six now, so I really didn't care how mad they might get. I went in and started playing as quietly as I could. I didn't even hear Dean open the door.
"Have you been up all night?" He asked sleepily. I nodded and kept playing. I didn't sing though.
"Is that it?" He asked about the music. I nodded again. I heard him smirk.
"So I guess coffee and music are more important then me, ok fine I see how it is." I giggled a little then stopped playing.
"Aww do you want some attention babe?" I asked. He put on the pathetic puppy dog face and nodded. I laughed and walked over to him. We quickly kissed before he wrapped me in his arms.
"See, I like waking up with you beside me, but you weren't there. So I think we need to go back in the room and since I am not that tired from just waking up, maybe we should make me tired and then go back to sleep so I can wake up and see you." He said. Ok now that was pathetically hilarious.
"Oh really? And what do you suggest we do in order to make you tired?" I asked. He got an evil smile on his face before he kissed me fiercely. After a second I pulled back. "Oh so that's what you want to do."
Once he kissed me again, I have to say it was very hard to say no… so I didn't.

We woke up about twelve, or at least I did. When I woke up, he was looking at me.
"Good afternoon gorgeous." He said before kissing me lightly. I smiled.
"We really have to start doing this at night so we can get up at normal hours." I said. He laughed and held me closer.
"Trust me; I will do this whenever you want to." He told me. I laughed a little. "So I never got to ask you if you finished your song."
"Yea I did. I like it, I mean I doubt it will ever be on the top 40, but it means something, and that's what matters." I told him. I lifted my head from his chest and looked into his eyes. He gently pushed a piece of hair out of my face and stared back.
"I love you." He said smiling. I gave out a small laugh.
"I love you more!" I said joking a little.
"Nahh, you just like me 'cause I can kill the bad guys." He said. I laughed harder.
"Yep you are so right… well I like you because of that, and your body." I said giggling.
"Well who doesn't? I mean do you know how many girls I have had to fight off in the past couple days? I mean when I told them I was taken, it was like a war." He said, laughing a little himself.
"Oh no, well, I don't think I have to worry about them stealing you away from me." I told him.
"Oh? And why not?" He asked.
"Because I am the only one who can put up with your ignorant and pompous self, and I am crazy for doing that!" I joked.
"Oh so your crazy huh?" He said laughing.
"Yea, well sometimes being in love does that to you." I said. He smiled and kissed me lightly.
"So you do love me even if I am ignorant and pompous?" He asked. I smiled and kissed him back.
"I wouldn't take you any other way." I told him.

Since we were leaving that day, we had to get up, pack and head out. But before we did, Dean insisted on hearing my song.
"Please! Who knows when we will be around another piano?" He begged.
"Ok, fine but you can't laugh. It really isn't your thing." I told him seriously.
"Babe anything you do is my kind of thing." He said. I laughed a little. Then Sam came in.
"Hey what's going on?" He asked.
"Oh, Annie's going to play this song she wrote last night…. All last night if I may add." Dean said.
"Really now?" Sam said raising his eyebrows.
"Yea, I was forced." I said shrugging.
"Oh, yea by the amazing powers of Dean, the great manipulator." Sam joked. Dean hit him.
"Shut up Sammy." He said. I laughed, I loved it when these guys did this. "Ok, play." He told me. I sighed and started to play.
When I opened my mouth to sing, I actually sounded like me. I was so relieved.
"I,
I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first
kiss
Love, is dancing on my finger
He got to the heart of the
matter and lingered
Now I'm walking with the living
I always
liked Steinbeck and those old men whistling…"
I felt Dean smiling at me, getting the simile of the boy and the first kiss. And of course the love stuff.
"We're
back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back and you tell me I'm
home"
"Talking
in the Mission
Over coffee this is my utopia
Man, I'll be your
lady
As the ocean rises, the sun is fading"
I heard them laugh at the coffee thing, it was true… coffee gave me peace.
"We're
back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San
Francisco
We're back, we're back in san fran…."
"And
now I feel the ever after
Over red wine on the eve of summer
The
buzz, the buzz of the city
As we settle in it's majesty"
I paused and looked at Dean straight in the eye before I began the next part.
"I,
I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss"
I played the piano in more forte and with more energy as I began the end of the song.
"We're back, we're back in San
Francisco
We're back and you tell me I'm home
You tell me I
am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
Back in
San Francisco
And I know what you did in San Francisco
I
know what you did in San Francisco
San Francisco"
"Happy now?" I asked breathlessly. Dean walked over and sat next to me on the bench.
"Nice metaphors." He whispered before kissing my neck.
"Hey I try." I told him.
"Ok love birds, we have people to help, evil spirits to vanish, lets get going." Sam said.
Reluctantly, we got up and left the Inn.
We were driving down the road. I let Sam sit in front.
"So are we meeting Dad in Colorado? Or are we going to New Mexico?" Sam asked.
"I don't know Sammy, do you really thing dad wants us? He sounded ok on his own." Dean told him.
"Yea, but I just worry about him he's our dad and he isn't getting any younger." Sam said. Dean got the weirdest look on his face and slapped Sam on the head.
"He's dad you idiot, he is always going to do whatever he wants to do and be fine. Stop being a baby." Dean said. Sam shrugged it off. I reached up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Aww Sam did Dean hurt you?" I joked. They both laughed at me.
"Nah, but hey I got his girl now so even if he did, it would be sweet payback." Sam joked as he grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. I started laughing.
Dean got the joke and played a long.
"Hey, she doesn't want you dude, just leave it alone. I know you want her, but get over it!" He said.
"Well whose hand is she holding?" Sam asked with that playful smile. We put our head next to each other and smiled widely.
"Ok this isn't even funny anymore; she is way to hot for you. How many times do I have to tell you Sammy, you got the brains, I got the looks. Don't even try." I laughed and made my way over to Dean's side and kissed his cheek.
"Aww you don't have to worry. How could I ever love anyone less ignorant then you?" I asked.
"Damn straight." Dean said with his signature smirk. I laughed and sat back in my seat.
This was my life now. I was on the road with two great guys, one who I happened to love more then life. We fought evil. Of course we won. And we laughed.
It definitely wasn't how I ever saw my life being, but now that I had it, I didn't ever want to let it go…
The End!
