READ THIS! IT IS IMPORTANT!

So, there is this chapter and one more. Whether or not I make this into a Trilogy is up to how many reviews I get wanting one. I have I think three and I will need more requests then that. Otherwise, after chapter 20 there will be an Epilogue after that and the story will be done. But it is whatever you guys want. I will do another story if that is what you want.

Chapter 19: The Spell

"Annie baby, what are you doing?" Dean said groggily as he woke up. It was only four in the morning and I hadn't been back to sleep since I had gotten back to the hotel. So now, I was reading all of the spells, quizzing myself and trying to memorize what spell did what thing, and also tried to learn about the potions. It was all so intriguing. I never thought that something like this could ever happen, much less happen to me.

"Reading…" I told him half mindedly. I heard him push the sheets back and get up.

"Reading what?" He asked as he walked over to me.

"Spell book…" I told him. He was quiet for a minute.

"When did you get that?" He replied. I sighed and closed the heavy book.

"Six hours ago, you were asleep and I had been having this dream about this book ever since we all went into town and I saw that old bookshop. And every time I had the dream the calling just got stronger and stronger until I couldn't take it and the shop was open until midnight, you were sound asleep, and so I went and got it." I explained. He looked confused for a moment then sat down next to me.

I thought he might be a little bit ticked that I left in the middle of the night in a foreign, not to mention dangerous country, but his face was just twisted in confusion.

"I really can't protect you anymore can I? I mean before this whole witch thing we kind of needed each other as far as the whole saving each others lives sometimes. But now, you really don't need my help do you?" It was true, and it hurt me as much as it hurt him to think about that. I didn't like being a damsel in distress, but when Dean would save me it would just help make me fall in love with him even more then I already was.

I smiled slightly and leaned over to kiss him.

"I am always going to need you Dean, because I love you. Sure, now I won't need anyone to save my life but shouldn't that be a good thing?" I said quietly. Our faces were close enough so that I could feel him smile.

"Yeah it is, I'm just going to miss how you used to thank me after I helped you out." He said cockily. I laughed.

"Well if you think that you need to be my hero in order for me to thank you in that way then you need a serious self confidence booster." I whispered.

God knew Dean was the last person to need a self confidence booster. But hey, you got to do what you got to do am I right?

Our faces were still just centimeters apart. "You're right, I think I do. Would you mind helping me with that?" He whispered. Our faces got closer, and our lips almost touched but I pulled all the way back, leaving him dumbfounded.

"I would love to, but right now I need to learn this stuff in case I ever have to use it." I said. I was trying so hard not to laugh. The look on his face was priceless and hilarious.

"First coffee now a book? Oh I see how it is." He said with sarcasm. This time I didn't hold my laughter in.

"Oh no babe, it isn't just the book, it is coffee and the book." I said as I picked up my coffee cup and waved it in front of him.

Then he got a devious look on his face and I knew this wasn't good news for me. His smile widened and my eyes did the same.

"Dean…. What are you…?" But before I could finish, he had lifted me out of the chair and started to tickle me. Practically, I was squirming in mid air with one of his arms around me to hold me up. I squealed and screamed until we finally collapsed on the floor.

"Ouch…" I said through laughter. Somehow I had landed on the bottom.

"You ok?" He replied, laughing as well. I reached up and kissed somewhere on his face, I couldn't really see where because my vision was blurred.

"Yeah, but see I do still need you." I said, my laughter subsiding. "With out you I would never ever laugh this hard, and no one would be here to ask me if I was ok."

I smiled at him and he returned the favor.

"Well, hopefully there isn't any other guy that would be tickling you then landing on top of you to even ask if you were ok. If there was, I may have to go take care of something…" He joked.

The laughter and the jokes stopped once our eyes caught in each others. Dean gently put his hand on my face and then into my hair. I smiled a little.

"So are you just going to stare at me all day or are you going to kiss me?" I whispered. He smiled and brought his lips to mine.

(Gabi's POV)

"Gabi wait…" He said. I jammed my eyes shut and stopped where I was. Sam walked over to me and gently put his hand on my shoulder.

"Gabi…" I cut him off.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything, it just slipped and I don't know if I really meant it or not but I was just thinking it and… I am really, really sorry Sam." I pleaded. Instead of pushing me away, he pulled me tightly into his arms and I relaxed immediately.

"Don't be sorry." He whispered. But it wasn't what I wanted to hear.

"I feel like an idiot." I told him.

"I don't want you to Gabi. And trust me I know how you feel because I think I am starting to feel that way to." He said. I looked up at him with relief spreading over my face. "Ok, actually I know I am starting to fall for you harder. But after… after everything that happened with Jess, it makes it really hard for me to say it. I want to, but it scares me."

"Why does it scare you?" I asked quietly.

"Because I don't want to love you and then lose you." He said hesitantly.

I really wanted to cry. But instead, I tip toed up and kissed him softly.

"We have to live for the moment Sam. Otherwise we are just going to be chasing after things that we can never catch." I said. I don't remember if that was an actual thought or something I pulled out of a fortune cookie before. But it worked.

"You're right." He said. But he wasn't done. "I---" with hesitation, he said it. "I love you Gabi."

I smiled and felt a tear fall down my face.

"I love you to Sam." I told him. We were both smiling.

"Last time I checked this was normally a happy thing." He said as he wiped the tear away.

"It is, but, I have never had a guy say that to me before. As cliché as it sounds, it is kind of a special moment for me." I said quietly. He just smiled and kept his hand on my face.

"Well hopefully we will have many more of these moments." He whispered. I nodded, and then our lips met in a breathtaking kiss.

(Annie's POV)

So our vacation was over, which really kind of sucked. But that was all behind us now. We had already been driving for hours and were in Texas.

"Hey Dean…" I said.

"Yeah babe?" He replied.

"Can we switch them positions?" I asked, referring to Sam and Gabi who were sitting in the back seat whispering, laughing and stealing kisses. It was enough to either make you sick, or make you want to be them.

"I wish, but I don't think we are going to be able to pry them apart any time soon." He said honestly. I sighed and opened my book again.

Absentmindedly I started chanting a spell.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Dean said suddenly.

"Don't start saying any of that until we know what it does and if we need it." He told me. Then I got it, he was scared. I laughed some and scooted closer to him.

"Sorry." I whispered before kissing his cheek.

"Damn why do I have to drive?" He whined. "I swear next stop I am pulling over, Sam is taking the wheel and we get the back."

I laughed even harder.

"Sounds great to me." I replied. Then I looked out of the window and saw the long road that lie ahead of us.
