Thank you Blondie 50000 for your feedback. LOL I couldn't resist Rufus and Ellen as a couple. Just not a fan of Bobby and Ellen (I see Bobby more with Jody). Oh I know they are moving fast...I think it makes sense for Dean to just plow straight ahead at this point. He had one year after the deal and then spent four months in Hell.

Of course since they are moving fast then things are going to get messy for our heroes. So I tackled an actual episode and this takes place during "In The Beginning". A lot happens here.

I hope people enjoy!

Thanks Again,

Val

Chapter 13

Jo stood in front of the mirror as she fussed with her hair as her Mom zipped her dress up. The two women smiled at each other in the mirror.

"Jo, you are so beautiful." Ellen said as she kissed her daughter's cheek and wrapped her arms around her swollen belly.

"Oh Mom," Jo said as she reached up to wipe at her tears.

"I can't wait to see Dean's face when you come down the aisle." The older woman said as she tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear.

"Mom we're getting married in Bobby's living room…there is no aisle." She said with a laugh.

"It may not be a long aisle, but we do have one." Ellen told her as she went over to the dresser and picked up the small bouquet of gerbera daisies that Dean had gone into town for early. "That boy does know you, doesn't he?" She said as she sniffed the blooms.

"He does," Jo agreed as she went over to the bed and sat down.

"Jo, you okay?" Ellen said as she saw the frown on her daughter's face.

"I don't know, something feels wrong," she told her mother.

"The baby?" Ellen asked anxiously.

Jo shook her head. "No…I…something is happening."

Both women looked up when they heard Bobby scream Dean's name.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

"What do you mean he disappeared?" Jo said as she and her mother joined Bobby and Rufus in the living room.

"We were standing here talking and one second he was here and then another he was gone." Bobby told her.

"Castiel?" Ellen ask.

"Think that's the safe bet." Bobby said as he grabbed a chair and pulled it over. "Jo, why don't you sit down."

Jo looked at them. "Why would Castiel take him? Oh God, what if he was pull back into the pit?" She cried as she began to pace.

"Honey, thinking the worst-case scenario isn't going to help." Ellen said as she stood in front of her daughter and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Well I'm sorry Mom…the man I love, my baby's father has literally vanished so excuse me for freaking out!" She shouted.

Ellen swallowed as she dropped her hands and stepped back from her daughter as if she had been slapped across her face.

"Oh Mom….I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," Jo cried as she closed the distant and threw her arms around her mother's neck and began to sob.

Ellen sighed as she wrapped her arms around Jo and held her. "Shhh, it's okay Baby. We'll figure this out." She said as she kissed the top of her head. She looked over at Bobby and Rufus when she realized that Dean wasn't the only Winchester missing and asked. "Where's Sam?"

Dean was beyond piss. The damn angel had zapped him away from Jo on their wedding day. "You son of a bitch…do you know how much trouble you got me in. If my girl doesn't kick my ass seven ways to Sunday, her mother is gonna cut my nuts off for hurting her daughter." He shouted at the angel.

"You are needed here."

"Needed for what?" Dean snapped.

"You have to stop it." The angel said.

"I'm not doing a damn thing! Not until you tell me what this is all about!" Dean shouted.

"You will do what is commanded of you. You have to stop it." Castiel told him again.

"Fine," Dean relented, realizing it was the only way he would get back to Jo would be to go along with whatever the angel wanted him to stop. "I'll do what you want on one condition. You have to at least go to Jo and tell her what's going on!" He shouted towards the sky as the angel had already disappeared.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

"Why would Castiel take Dean?" Bobby asked.

Jo sank down onto the couch. "He threatened him. After we vanquished the witnesses and Castiel came to him that night. He threatened to throw Dean back in the pit. What if he did that to him…what if he followed up on that threat," she sobbed.

"I did not send Dean back to Hell." The all looked in the doorway to see Castiel suddenly appear.

"Where is he?" Jo demanded.

"He has a mission to complete."

Jo stormed over and slapped the angel across the face. "You bastard!" She hissed. "I've done everything you've asked of me and you just take him away! You claim our child is your charge and how important my pregnancy is and you take Dean away from me."

"He was needed." He told her calmly.

"Bull! Take me to him now!"

"Joanna Beth," Ellen shouted.

"TAKE ME TO HIM NOW CASTIEL!" She shouted, ignoring her mother.

Ellen watched in horror as Castiel cocked his head slightly before he reached out and touch her daughter's forehead and they both vanished before her eyes. "JO!" She screamed.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

Jo grabbed onto Castiel's should as her legs felt like they were going to go out from out of her. The angel reached out and study her as he looked over her shoulder to see Dean come rushing down the alleyway.

"JO!" Dean shouted as he ran up and pulled her into a bear hug. "Sweetheart, are you okay? The baby?" He asked as his pulled back and dropped his hand onto her bump.

"We're fine Dean," She reassured him as reached up to brush away her tears of joy.

"Castiel, what the Hell?" Dean said.

"I've given you Joanna. Now your mission has not changed." The angel said before he vanished.

"Dick!" Dean snapped as he looked at Jo. "Jo are you sure you're alright?" He asked as he took in her coloring.

"I think I need some water," she admitted.

"Right," he said as he wrapped his arm around her waist. "I saw a diner across the street. Let's go and get you something to drink and we can figure out what the Hell they wants me to do."

SPNSPNSPNSPN

Dean and Jo sat down at the counter in the two seats next to a man who was about Dean's age.

"Dean, where are we?" Jo whispered.

"No clue," he said with a shrug of his shoulders before turning to the guy next to him. "Hey, where the Hell are we?"

"Jaybird's Diner," the other man said.

"Yeah thanks, I mean city and state."

The other man frowned before saying, "Lawrence, Kansas."

"Lawrence, great." Dean said as he looked at Jo who shook her head in confusion.

Jo frowned when the man called over to the guy behind the counter to get Dean a coffee. It was after Dean had joked that Sonny and Cher broke up and the shock on the other two men faces that Jo really began to take in her environment.

Dean grabbed her arm and drew her attention to the headline on the newspaper the man next to him was reading and she gaped in shock 'Nixon Accepts Resignation'. "Dean," she hissed just as the door opened and a man walked in and called out 'Hey Winchester'.

Jo gulped when both Dean and the man next to him turned towards the man. She listed to the two men exchange pleasantries and reached out for Dean's hand when she heard him mumble, 'Dad'. Now that she looked more closely she could see the resemblance to Dean and Sam.

Her heart ached for the man she love when his father asked him innocently, "Do I know you?" and Dean sadly responded, "I guess not." Much too quickly they watched as John got up and left, eyeing Dean and Jo carefully.

"Dean, what the Hell is Castiel up to? Why bring you back here at this time?" Jo said as the door to the diner closed.

"I don't know Jo," he told her as he drew his eyes back from the door to look at Jo again. She was pale and as much as he wanted to run out the door and follow his father he needed to focus on his future wife and turned his attention back to the guy behind the counter. "Hey, can we get a large OJ and an order of scramble eggs, bacon, home fries and wheat toast."

"Dean," Jo hissed. "We don't have time for breakfast and we also don't have any money that we can use in 1973."

"You're pale and shaky. You need to eat." Dean said as he leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "I got the money covered." He reassured her as he saw the businessman who had greeted his Dad get up to go to the bathroom.

Jo watched as Dean 'accidently' bumped into the man and lifted his wallet. After he slipped the cash out of the wallet, he went over to the newspaper rack by the guy's table and grabbed one, dropping the wallet on the floor and kicking it under the table. Jo just prayed they would be long gone before the man realized he was robbed.

A half hour later they were walking the streets of Lawrence. Jo had caught sight of John after he had come out of the bank and now her and Dean were following him. They both stopped short when they turned a corning and Castiel was suddenly standing in front of them.

"What is this?" Dean asked heatedly.

Castiel cocked his head. "What does it look like?"

"Is it real?"

"Very." The angel told him

"Okay, so what? Angels got their hands on some DeLoreans? How did we get here?" he hissed.

Castiel sighed in frustration, he didn't care for the human's attempt at humor. "Time is fluid, Dean. It's not easy, but we can bend it on occasion."

"Well bend it back or tell us what the hell I'm doing here!" He snapped as he squeezed Jo's hand.

"I told you, you have to stop it."

"Stop what? Huh? What, is there something nasty after my Dad?" Dean and Jo both were distracted by a car horn and when they looked back towards the angel they were shocked to see he was gone. "Oh, come on! What, are you allergic to straight answers, you son of a bitch?!"

"I can't believe Castiel's being like this," Jo said as she stood in front of Dean as she began rubbing lower back absent mindlessly.

"I think being an ass is in the job description for them." He said as he kept and eye on his father to see where he's heading. He watched as his father jogged across the street to a used car lot before turning his attention back to Jo and saw she was squirming slightly. "Hey, are you okay?"

Jo smiled as she nodded her head. "I gotta pee," she told him as she looked around.

"He went to the used car lot. We can go over and ask if they have a bathroom, that way he doesn't think we're stalking him."

"Fine by me. Let's go because I really need to pee." She urged as she grabbed Dean's hand.

They made their way across the street and went into the lot. Dean tried to pretend that they accidently bumped into his father again. "Hey again! John right," Dean said to his father as he wrapped an arm around Jo.

"Hello…ummm yeah. Sorry I didn't get your names." John said.

"I'm Dean and this is my wife Jo." He said and Jo's happy sigh at the introduction made him smile.

"Hey John," the car salesman said as he joined them. "Are we ready to sign some papers?" He asked as they stood by a van.

Jo giggle when Dean gasped in horror as his eyes lovingly gazed over to the 67 Impala two cars down. "Oh honey," she cooed.

Dean looked down at Jo…damn his woman really did get him. He smirked when he saw her wiggling…baby must really be pressing on her bladder. "Um excuse me. My wife needs a restroom, do you have one?"

"Of course," the salesman said. "Right this way…" he said as he held his arm out towards the dealership before saying to John. "I'll be back in a minute."

Dean watched Jo hurry after the man, gushing her thanks. "Pregnant women…have to pee every 5 minutes." He said conversationally. He walked over to the Impala and slapped it on the hood. "This is the one you want.."

John eyed the other man and said, "Oh yeah, you...you know something about cars?"

Dean nodded his head. "Yeah... yeah, my Dad taught me everything I know. And this...this is a great car." He told him as he opened the hood and leaned in. He smile sadly to himself when his father joined him.

"327 four barrel, 275 horses. A little TLC and this thing is cherry." Dean said as he turned his head slightly to look at John.

John looked up and smiled. "You know man, you're right."

Dean turned when Jo walked up to him and ran her hand along his back. "I think John might be interest in the Impala." He told her as he gave her a playful wink.

"It's a great car," she said as both men stood up straight.

Jo leaned against another car as she watch Dean try to question his father casually. She winced when he asked about cattle mutilations. She needed to talk to him about his approach as everything seem to go downhill quickly and they were making a hasty retreat as John and the salesman went to finalize their deal.

"Seriously has anyone not freaked out when you casually ask about cattle mutilations?" Jo teasingly asked as they made their way across the street to keep up their surveillance.

"Yeah," Dean admitted with a cocky grin. "I tend to lose people with that question."

"You do realize we're at a disadvantage. He's gonna have wheels and well I still move pretty quick for a pregnant chick, but I don't think I can keep up with him no matter how fast I walk." She said as she strained her neck to see better.

"Yeah, stay her and watch for him. I'll be back in a few." Dean said as he gave her a quick kiss on the lips before hustling away from Jo to solve their little problem.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

"Come on Dean…where are you!" Jo huffed as she watched her future father in law or should she say her late father in law. Future…late father in law…oh this was just too weird, even for them.

"Jo," Dean called as he pulled up beside her.

Jo quickly walked over and got into the front passenger seat. "He headed down the street and turned left it was either two or three blocks down from here."

"Okay, let's do this." He said as he pulled out and followed Jo's directions.

"There!" Jo cried as she spotted the Impala.

"What's he doing?" Dean said as he watched the father pull in front of a house.

"Who's that?" Jo said as a woman came out of the house and ran up to the car.

Dean gulped as he watched the woman, his heart beating faster. "Mom," he said in awe.

"Mom," Jo repeated as she watched John get out and was obviously showing off the car to her. She looked down when she felt Dean reach out and grasped her hand.

"Sweetheart, what the Hell are these angels playing at?" He asked.

Jo tore her eyes away from John and Mary. "I wish I knew," she told him. Why did Castiel bring him back and what is Dean supposed to stop?

SPNSPNSPN

They followed Dean's parents back to the diner and watch them through the window. Jo smirks when she hears Dean murmur softly. "Sammy, wherever you are, Mom is a babe."

Jo turned and gaped at her future husband who winced as he realized how creepy he just sounded as he said to her. "I'm going to Hell."

Jo smirked as Dean gave her a grin and they both said at the same time, "Again." She turned her attention back to the young couple. "Okay, they are really kinda cute. Look it's like something out of Happy Days…their on a date at the local diner sharing a plate of fries and drinking milkshakes. It's adorable…we should do it too."

"Seriously, I'm not taking dating tips from my parents." He said giving Jo an eyeroll for good measure.

"Just saying those fries look really good and so do the shakes."

Dean eyes Jo and sighed. "Baby hungry?"

"Baby is starving," she told him honestly.

"Jo, why didn't you say something."

"Well I wasn't sure how much money we had…"

"Why are you following us?" A voice called from behind Dean and Jo.

Dean turns toward his mother and grunted when she kneed in him in the stomach and threw him towards the wall of the next building. He was able to duck and step out of her way when she went in for a punch and Dean shouted at her, "are you crazy?"

Mary ignored him as she continued on the offensive. Finally Dean was able to grab Mary's arm and stop her. "You've been trailing us since my house." She hissed.

"I don't know what you're talking about…" Dean argue before Mary cut him off.

"Really?" She said as she continued her attack, ignoring the woman behind them crying out the man's name.

Dean managed to grab Mary and push her up against the wall and said. "Okay, how about we talk about this huh?

"Let me go!" She hissed as she struggle against him.

It was Jo's gasped as she called out. "Dean, her wrist."

The man looked at Mary's wrist and saw the bracelet with the anti-possession charms. "Are you a hunter?"

"Who are you two?" Mary said.

Jo looked between the two of them. "We're hunters too." She said as her hand went to her bump and let out a shallow breath. "Dean," she murmured as she felt lightheaded suddenly.

"JO!" he cried out as he let go of his mother's arm and rushed over to her.

Mary watched the man she had been sparring with tenderly place his hand over hers. "When was the last time you ate?" She asked.

"This morning," Jo answered as Dean wrapped his arm around her to support her.

"Come on, she needs to eat." Mary said she lead the couple back towards the diner.

"Aren't you coming with us?" Dean asked as she stopped by at the end of the alleyway.

"I climbed out through the bathroom window. John would think it strange if I came in through the diner door." She told him with a shake of her head. "Amateur," she mumbled to herself.

Dean narrowed his eyes and said, "see you inside."

Jo smirked at Dean. "I like her."

Dean looked at her and grinned. "I think she likes you too," he told her before stealing a quick kiss.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

Jo stared at the older couple. Oh God not only had she just had a very hearty snack…ok a full meal but honestly the smell coming from the kitchen caused her stomach to rumble slightly much to Dean's chagrin.

"Seriously?" he whispered.

"Port chops Honey," she whispered back.

Dean had passed his grandfather's test and his grandmother had asked them to stay for dinner. Now they were was sitting at Dean's grandparent's table getting ready to eat with them. Leaning over Jo softly hummed the theme to The Twilight Zone in Dean's ear before kissing his cheek.

She didn't miss the look on Deanne or Mary faces. She half listened as Dean, Mary and Samuel talked. She sputtered a mouthful of mash potatoes when Mary asked her father if he rather she dated Dean.

"What? No…no…no…ummm pregnant wife right here," he said as he patted Jo on the back.

"Ewww gross," Jo mumbled under her breath as she used her napkin to clean up the potatoes from the table. This evening really did just take a turn into creepyville at the thought that Dean's grandfather would want his mother to date him…even with Jo sitting right here.

SPNSPNSPNSPN

"Dean I'm not sure about this." Jo said as Deanne left them alone in the guest bedroom.

"Sweetheart, you need to lay down. You're exhausted. I'll be with my Mom and my Grandfather on this hunt. What can go wrong?" Dean said as he sat down on the bed with her.

"I hate being useless," Jo murmured as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Hey, you are anything but useless." He argued as he rubbed her back.

"You promise you will be careful. I want to make it back to our time…get married and make a few more babies with you."

"Same here," Dean said with a grin as urged Jo to lay back as he stretched out next to her. Kissing her neck he murmured again, "same here."

"No way…we are not doing it in your grandparent's house." Jo said as she pushed Dean away slightly when he reached up to cup her breast through her sun dress.

"Party pooper," he teased as he kissed her nose. "Look get some sleep," he said as he stood up.

Jo reached up and grabbed his hand. "I love you Winchester."

"I love you too Harvelle," Dean said as he lifted their joined hand and kissed the pulse point on her inner wrist. "I'll see you when I get back."

SPNSPNSPNSPN

Jo swallowed as Dean talked to his mother. After they had come back, Dean and Samuel got into a disagreement and now they were getting ready to leave. She shook her head slightly when she heard him saying, "Mary, can I tell you something."

Mary frowned slight, "sure."

"Even if this sounds really weird. Will you promise me that you will remember?" He asked.

"Dean," Jo hissed as she reached out and was shocked when he shook her off.

Mary watched the couple, her interest piqued. "Okay."

"On November 2nd, 1983, don't get out of bed. No matter what you hear, or what you see. Promise me you won't get out of bed." He practically begged.

Mary looked at Jo's horrified face before turning her attention back to Dean and quickly said, "Okay."

Dean nodded his head as he turned and looked at Jo who shook her head. She didn't bother saying goodbye to Mary, she just turned and walked away.

SPNSPNSPSPNSPN

"Jo, say something." He begged as they drove down the road.

She turned and glared at him. "Have you been bullshitting me the whole time?"

"What?"

"You claim you love me…you claim you can't wait for us to have this baby…to have us be a family but what you just did…if you're Mom listens and does exactly what you just told her and she doesn't go into Sammy's nursery that night then we will never happen…this" Jo cried as she placed her hand on her belly. "won't happen. We will end up back in our time and not even know each other. You literally just choose your mother over us…over your own child's life."

Dean shook his head. "No…I…Jo…come on. You…you more than anyone must understand."

"I didn't say I didn't understand." She said as she reached up and wiped away her tears. "It doesn't make a difference…what's done is done. You made your choice Dean and you made it very clear where me and this child comes in your life."

"It's going to be fine Jo…I swear." Dean tried to reassure he. His heart broke when he saw the way she looked back at him. Ten seconds…ten seconds is all it took for him to break the heart of the woman he love.

They both jumped slightly when Castiel suddenly appeared in the back seat. "So what? God's my co-pilot, is that it?"

Jo watched the angle and the review mirror and saw he was just staring at Dean which just caused Dean's anger to go up a notch. "Well, you're a regular Chatty Cathy. Tell me something. Sam would have wanted in on this too, why not bring him back with us?"

Jo frowned at that…why was Sam excluded from this little family reunion? Actually now that she thought about it, she couldn't remember Sam being at Bobby when Dean disappeared.

"You had to do this alone Dean."

"Jo…" he started to argue.

"Her being here doesn't change anything. If Sam were it would have changed everything." The angel said as he looked at Jo.

"And you don't care that he's tearing up the future looking for us right now?" Dean snapped.

Castiel turned and stared at him. "Sam's not looking for you."

Dean swallowed as he shot a look over at Jo. His doubts about Sam came rushing back as much as he hated himself right now and how much he is hurting Jo he has to know. "Alright, if I do this, then the family curse breaks, right? Mom and Dad live happily ever after, and…and…Sam and I grow up playing little league and I meet Jo here while on a road trip with my brother before he starts law school?"

The angel frown at the hunter. "You realize, if you do alter the future, your father, you and Sam that you'll never become hunters. All those people you saved that they'll die."

Dean gulped, "I realize."

"And you don't care?" The angel asked.

It was Jo snort of disgust that caused him to look straight ahead. He couldn't look at Jo or Castiel as he confessed. "Oh I care, I care a lot, but these are my parents. I'm not gonna let them die again. I can't. No, not if I can stop it."

The silence was deafening, and he chanced a look at Jo before looking in the review mirror to see that Castiel was gone. "I'm sorry," he said as he reached over to take Jo's hand in his. His heart broke when she pulled away.

"Don't…don't touch me." She said as she turned and looked out the window.

SPNSPNSPN

Jo looked at the house Dean has pulled up in front of. He was going in to steal the Colt and then go to the Walsh place to confront the demon. "Don't worry…I'm not going to insist on coming with you. This is your fight…my fight is to keep my baby safe."

Dean sighed; he knew that wasn't a slip of the tongue. "Please Jo…I can't do this…I can't leave you here like this."

Jo chewed on her lower lip. She was angry and hurt but she still loved the man next to her and knew he needed his wits about him and couldn't be distracted. Sniffling she turned her head and finally looked at Dean. She could see the agony clearly written on his face.

Slowly she slide her hand along the front seat and placed it over his. "No matter what Dean, I love you."

Dean nodded he head, "I'm sorry I'm a selfish prick. I just…she my Mom." He choked out and Jo found herself sliding across the front seat of the car and hugging him.

"It's easy for me to damn you but who the Hell knows what I would have done if that was my Dad." She admitted.

Dean pulled back and said, "please don't give up on me Jo."

"Never…now be safe…you have a lot of groveling you need to do to make things up to me." She teased with a watery smile as she pulled him back into her arms. Neither realizing the nightmare that would be unfolding before them that night.

SPNSPNSPN

Dean and Jo drove up and saw Mary kissing the demon. He jumped out of the car and screamed, "No!"

Jo quickly got out of the car as Dean rushed forward with the Colt drawn to shoot the yellow eye demon and send him back to Hell. She gasped when he saw Samuel's head tilt back and black smoke flowed from his mouth before his body collapse on the ground and suddenly she heard John gasping for breath.

Jo joined Dean and grabbed his hand. His mother made a deal…she made a deal…she started it all. Neither had a chance to say anything as Castiel suddenly appears in front of them. He reached out and placed a hand on one of Dean's shoulder and his other hand on one of Jo's shoulders. Whisking them back to their time.

They looked around quickly when they realized they were back in Bobby's living room. They frowned when they saw the others were frozen in place in front of them.

"I didn't stop it. I didn't change anything." He said as he watched Jo sit down in the chair behind her.

"Don't be too hard on yourself. You couldn't have stopped it." The angel said.

"What?" Dean snapped. It was all a waste of time and the only thing he managed to actually do was hurt Jo.

"Destiny can't be changed, Dean. All roads lead to the same destination." He explained as he looked at Jo.

"They why did you send me back?" he shouted.

Castiel cocked his head slightly. "For the truth. Now you know everything we do."

"What the Hell are you talking about?" he cried in frustration.

Castiel didn't say anything, instead he looked at each face in the room with them. Dean and Jo followed his gaze and Dean realized finally that somebody was missing. "Where's Sam?"

"We know what Azazel did to your brother. What we don't know is why – what his endgame is. He went to great lengths to cover that up."

"Where's Sam?" he demanded again as he let what the angel just said wash over him.

"425 Waterman." He said before adding. "You brother is headed down a dangerous road, Dean, and we're not sure where it leads. So stop it. Or we will." He threatened before he disappeared.

"Go," Jo said quickly. "Go before they all come through."

"Come with me." He said.

Jo shook her head. "I…this is between you and Sam." She told him as she reached up and grabbed his hand. "I'll be here Dean…I'm not going anywhere. We have some serious talking we need to do but I love you and I'm not leaving."

"I love you," Dean said as he leaned down and kissed her. "I'll be back as quickly as possible."

Jo watched as Dean rushed out the door and she heard the familiar rumble of the Impala engine as he drove away from Bobby's. She barely had a second to catch her breath before Bobby, Ellen, Rufus, Bucky and Bart suddenly began moving in front of her.

Ellen gasped as she saw Jo sitting in a chair she knew was empty a second before. "Jo…what the Hell happened? Where did Castiel take you?"

"Oh Mom," Jo cried as she stood up and willing went into her mother's arms. The men made a hasty retreat as the older woman comforted her daughter.
