Thank you so much Leanne Nickerson and Blondie 20000 for your feedback *hugs*.
Oh yup Leanne, Annie did sleep with Sam in the show but he said it was when he was soulless so I thought it would be funnier with it being John instead...of course I wouldn't be surprised if she hadn't slept with John too. The woman got around *grin*. I know Blondie, I'm loving Nana Ellen too!
So I said this is going to be a short story and it is, ended up being three chapters total (but Dean, Jo and little Sammy with have more short stories). Thank you again for all the support!
Author's Note at the end.
Thanks and enjoy,
Val
Chapter 2
Dean looked up when he heard the door open and grinned when he saw his girl walking through, with her duffel bag slung over her shoulder.
"Hey Sammy look who's here." Dean said as he turned the infant in his arms so that he could see Jo.
Jo grinned when Sammy gave her a toothless smile and lifted his arms towards her.
Jo dropped the duffel by the door before rushing across the room, "Hey Baby," she cooed as she reached down and took Sammy from Dean.
Dean smiled as he watched Jo give Sammy a smacking kiss on the cheek causing the infant to giggle happily. "Do I get a hello?" He asked good-naturedly.
"I guess so," Jo teased as she leaned down and kissed her boyfriend.
The young couple pulled apart when Ellen walked in and coughed to make her appearance known. "I was starting to wonder if you were deliberately taking longer to get back to get out of helping with tomorrow's dinner."
"Ha-ha," Jo quipped as she kissed her mother's cheek
"So how was the hunt?" Dean asked as he stood up and went behind the bar to grab a few beers as Ellen and Jo sat down.
"Good…Annie's an amazing hunter…I definitely could learn a lot from her." Jo said as she watched a slight blush taint Dean's cheeks.
"Yeah…I worked a case with her a few years back." Dean said tentatively.
"Really? She didn't say anything but we barely had time to talk."
Dean perked up at that, "really?"
Jo nodded her head as she made a silly face at Sammy, "yeah we hit ground running when I got there." She told him and had to bite her cheek to keep from laughing at the relief clearly written on his face. Time to begin 'operation torment Dean'. "Yeah so I invited her for Thanksgivings dinner but she's gonna come over in an hour to help prep for tomorrow."
Dean's eyes widened as he choked on the swig of beer he had just taken. "What?"
"Good, it'll be nice to see Annie. Been too long since she's been here." Ellen said.
Jo nodded her head as she grinned at her mother before turning towards Dean and handing Sammy back to him. "I need a shower to wash some of the road off of me. I'll be down before Annie gets here."
Dean watched Jo pick her bag back up and head towards the back to go upstairs to the living quarters. He bounced Sammy slightly when he began to cry. "Hey she'll be back soon," he murmured as he kissed Sammy on the forehead. He looked over at Ellen and smiled, "hey Ellen would you mind watching Sammy…I need to talk to Jo."
Ellen rolled her eyes, "talk…right." She said as she reached over and took the smallest Winchester in her arms.
Dean grinned at the elder Harvelle, "scouts honor…just talk."
"Mmmhmmm," she said as watched Dean follow her daughter.

Jo pushed her jeans down and she was stepping out of them when she heard the door open and Dean slip inside. He grinned when he took in the sight of his woman standing in nothing but a pair of white cotton panties with two cartoon owls dressed as pilgrims across her butt with the words Happy Thanksgiving beneath them.
"Nice panties," he quipped and laughed when Jo looked over her shoulder and wiggled her bottom at him.
"Joining me?" Jo asked as she slipped her fingers into the waistband and slid her underwear off completely.
"Temping offer but I don't think your mom would approve… I just wanted to talk to you."
"About what?" She asked as she grabbed her toothbrush and toothpaste from the medicine cabinet and began brushing her teeth.
Dean leaned back against the closed bathroom door, "we never really talked about past partners."
Jo stopped mid brush and turned her head to look at Dean. "Artnrs?" She repeated around he toothbrush.
"Maybe you should finish brushing your teeth," Dean teased.
Jo nodded her head as she quickly finished brushing, spitting, rinsing and gargling. "Partners?" She said again.
Dean cleared his throat, "well yeah…I mean your Mom was okay with me sharing your room…am I the first guy to sleep in your room…with you I mean?"
Jo stared at Dean for a few seconds before shrugging her shoulders. "No…I already told you about Rick." She said as she turned and reached behind the shower curtain to turn on the tap to heat the water to her preferred temperature.
"So Rick is the only hunter you've knocked boots with?"
"You asked about guys that slept in my room not what hunters I 'knocked boots with'."
It was Dean's turn to shrug his shoulders, "have there been other hunters?"
Jo sighed as she realized how serious Dean was and turned the water off before grabbing a towel to wrap around herself. "You really want to know?"
Dean nodded his head, "yeah."
"Okay," Jo agreed as 'operation torment Dean' was quickly forgotten. "I've only been with three hunters besides you. I already told you about Rick and I told you that I spent time with Gordon…well we didn't just talk about hunting when we were together."
Dean swallowed the anger he felt when he heard the other hunter's name. "Yeah I had a sneaky suspicion about him." He admitted.
Jo took a deep breath since she knew the last one was going to be hard for Dean to wrap his head around. "The third was when I tried to do the whole college thing. I found a case but I wasn't the only one to show up to work it…someone I've known pretty much my whole life showed up and we ended up working the case together and afterwards while we both still pretty high on the adrenaline rush we ended up having sex in the back of my truck bed but we both knew it was wrong as soon as it happened."
Dean frowned as Jo told her story…a story he knew he heard before from one of his best friends. "You're her…you're the girl Caleb worked that shapeshifter case with…his friend's daughter."
"Yup," she admitted blushing as she realized Caleb had told Dean. "Are you okay…I know you two were close."
Dean pushed off the door and went over to Jo, placing his hands on her shoulders. "Yeah…I don't know why I didn't put it together before."
Jo looked up into Dean's eyes and smiled. "Is there a reason we're doing this now?" She asked, giving him the chance to tell her about Annie.
"Annie," he whispered as he ducked his head.
Jo sighed as she reached up and carded her fingers through his hair. "I know," she told him softly.
Dean's head shot up at that. "You do…but you said you two barely had time to talk."
"Seriously Dean…I was with her for five days," Jo said with a laugh. "Of course we talked…I just would have preferred hearing about you and Annie from you before I went to work with her instead of her asking me if you still did that thing with your tongue when you go down on me." She told him a bit more serious.
"Jesus that woman has no shame," he mumbled before looking into Jo's eyes. "I should have said something before you left." He admitted.
"Have there been other hunters that you 'knocked boots with, besides Annie?" Jo asked a little hesitated in hearing his answer.
"Nope, just Annie." He told her.
Jo rolled her eyes, "let me guess she's the only other female hunter you worked with."
"Well I have work with you Mom…" he teased.
"Ewww not funny," she said. "Okay any non hunter women I should know about?"
Dean looked down at his hands, "there's really only been one…her name was Cassie."
"Were you in love with her?" She asked.
"I liked her enough that I told her about being a hunter."
Jo gaped at Dean, "you told her?"
"Makes you feel better she thought I was insane."
Jo's eyes narrowed angrily, "she what!"
Dean grinned at Jo's indignation at the slight against him. "Look I know this was my idea to discuss this but maybe we should leave well enough alone."
"Might be for the best." She agreed realizing that she didn't want to know about all the other women Dean had slept with. She wasn't a fool she knew his experience in that department was way more than hers.
Dean reached down and took Jo's hand in his. "I am sorry I didn't tell you about Annie before you left."
Jo scrunched up her nose and admitted, "I agreed with Annie to torment you…that's why I pretended we didn't talk."
Dean chuckle as he pulled Jo in for a hug, kissing the crown of her head. When he took a step back and looked down at Jo he could stop himself from finally saying what he had long to say to her. "I love you Jo."
Jo beamed at Dean's declaration, "good because I love you too." She purred happily.
Dean smiled as he leaned down and kissed her. The young couple were so lost in each other that they didn't hear Ellen knocking on the door until she called out, "stop molesting my daughter. I need to start on the stuffing and can't do it while snuggling with Sammy."
Jo's mouth dropped open as she rushed to the door and opened it. "You said I could make the stuffing this year."
Ellen smirked at her towel clad daughter. "Well you came up to take a shower a half an hour ago and you haven't even gotten in the tub. Annie will be here soon."
"Fine, hopping in now," Jo said as she pushed Dean out the door. "I'm doing the stuffing…you can have the green bean casserole."
"I put you on potatoes," Ellen told her.
"Dean can do the potatoes," she said as she closed the door and soon the sound of the shower going could be heard.
Ellen smirked at the elder Winchester as she passed Sammy to him. "Guess you weren't lying…still fully dressed…you really did want to talk to Jo."
Dean rolled his eyes as he heard himself saying, "yes Ma'am and now I need to talk to you."

Annie groaned when she watched Dean pulled Jo down onto his lap. "I can't believe you caved and told him."
Dean smirked at the other hunter, "and I can't believe you tried to convince my girl to torment me."
"Yeah but it would have been fun," Annie countered.
"Enough talking…those potatoes and carrots aren't going to peel themselves and Joanna Beth get up and get to work on dicing the onions and celery for the stuffing." Ellen ordered as she came out of the kitchen carrying a freshly bath Sammy wrapped up in a towel..
"Mom I could have given him a bath in the tub upstairs instead of in the kitchen sink." Jo said as she gave Dean a peck on the cheek before getting up and sitting back down in her seat.
"You took plenty of baths in that sink and your fine." Ellen huffed.
Dean snickered, "maybe that's why you're so tiny…your growth was stunted by taking baths in the sink."
Jo scrunched up her nose and stuck her tongue out at Dean. "Asshat!"
"Joanna Beth!" Ellen reprimanded her daughter.
"Yeah Joanna Beth…little ears." Dean teased as he pointed to Sammy.
Annie leaned over and said in a stage whispered, "now don't you wish you stuck to the plan."

Author's Note: Okay not sure why I went with Caleb other than when I was reading something about Jo and that Ellen insisted she call him Uncle Caleb but it didn't seem that Jo didn't see him as an uncle. According to the Jo's journals she was close to Caleb, he taught her how to keep a Hunter's journal. I just think there could have been more there in both their back stories. So I thought it would have been interesting if when Jo was away at school if her and Caleb ended up on a hunt and one thing lead to another.
