A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Thank you so, so much for the favorites / follows / and reviews! They mean so much as the author of this tale and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Chapter Warnings: Okay, so this chapter is a bit out of our norm and does include some slash Destiel (I couldn't seem to help myself), however, this is in a parallel universe and in no way impacts the main characters that I have been trying to keep very much in character. Even in this parallel universe, however, there is nothing explicit (not so much as even a kiss), as I have been trying to keep with the show's actual ratings and guidelines (which has severely hampered my use of language :-)) This is explained in the story, but I wanted to give y'all a heads up in case any type of Destiel was not your thing, which I totally understand. I'm just so grateful you're choosing to read this tale of mine! So, parallel universe Destiel with a very different Dean/Cas. I will include a summary of this chapter at the bottom for my WONDERFUL readers who would prefer to pass on the Parallel Universe Destiel. This will be in the next few chapters as well but I will always include a warning.

Thank you so, so much for reading!

Chapter 3

Say what?

Victoria Winchester snuggled into her husband's embrace. She carefully turned over and kissed his nose.

Sam immediately woke from the unexpected touch. He saw her face and smiled. "Hey."

"Hey yourself." Victoria noticed the absence of light. "Those room darkening curtains we bought really do work well."

Sam was confused by her words as well as his morning stupor. "Curtains?"

"You are ridiculously clueless in the mornings. It's still cute."

"Okay?" Sam was beginning to become a bit concerned.

"The girls have that party today, we can't forget. It was sweet of Holly's mom to invite all three of them, but I'm pretty sure she just wants Grace there to help wrangle in the seven-year-olds."

"Girls?"

"You need coffee honey."

"Honey?"

"It was a term of endearment, not a suggestion for a sweetener."

"What girls, Tor?"

"Tor?"

Victoria pushed herself away from Sam. She turned on the light next to the bed and looked around the room. She could feel her heart beat increase as everything was unfamiliar. She looked at Sam's confused face.

"What the hell is this Sam? Some kind of practical joke? Where the hell are we?"

"In your room?"

"My room? I don't have a freakin' room Sam. We have a room, in our house, and this isn't our freakin' house!" Victoria was yelling at this point. She got up beside the bed, visibly scared. "This is not funny. Where are the girls?"

Sam got up on his side of the bed and was trying to be as calm as possible. "Just calm down, we'll figure this out…"

"Figure what out? Where the hell are we and where are our children?"

Dean and Castiel came bursting into the room. "What the hell's going on here?"

"Dean Winchester, if this is some crappy joke you and your asinine brother are playing on me, I'll kill both of you, you understand?"

"What joke? What does she mean Sam?"

"Tor thinks this isn't where we live, Dean."

"Stop calling me Tor. You have never called me Tor, Sam Winchester. Not in the entirety of our ten year marriage."

Dean and Sam said at the same time, "Marriage?"

Victoria looked at Cas. "Cas, first off, what the hell are you wearing?"

"Umm… a trench coat?"

"It's warm in here, why are you wearing a coat? What's going on?"

"Victoria, I always wear this coat. I never get hot or cold."

"What?"

"He's an angel, Tor."

"Dean, now is not the time to be flirting with your husband. Especially since he's about to be a widower because I'm going to kill you."

Dean's brow furrowed and he almost couldn't form the words, "My what?"

Castiel looked thoroughly confused.

Sam was on the verge of laughing, but he was so terrified he couldn't.

Victoria took a deep breath and looked at what she thought was her husband. "Sam, you got me. Okay? Ha ha. Now, where are our daughters? You know what happened the last time they made their own breakfast."

Sam had tears in his eyes as he shook his head. "Victoria, I am so sorry, we don't have children."

Victoria clutched her chest as she looked at him. She knew Sam would never take a joke this far. "What's going on?" Fear made her voice shake.

"I don't know, but we'll figure it out, okay?"

Victoria nodded her head. No matter what, she always trusted Sam.

They hadn't noticed that Jack had appeared behind Castiel quite some time ago. "Umm…"

Everyone looked at him accusingly, except for Victoria.

They were all sitting around one of the tables in the library. Mary made Victoria some tea and she was sipping it slowly. She kept playing with her wedding ring.

"So what you're saying is, you think our Victoria is in the place where this Victoria came from?"

Jack nodded his head.

Dean rubbed his temples. "And how'd this happen again?"

"I overheard Aunt Victoria and Uncle Sam talking in their room last night about a life they wished they had. I wanted that too, for them, and for everyone else. I didn't really think about it, I just wanted it."

Castiel patted Jack on the shoulder. "You didn't intend for this to happen Jack, you wanted a good thing. You wanted for Victoria and Sam to be happy. Do not blame yourself for this."

"The kid opened a rift?"

Castiel looked at Dean, "I do not think that is exactly what happened. I do not think there is a door open anywhere."

Sam looked at the ground. "So we can't get Tor back."

"Not through a doorway, no. However, we will get Victoria back, Sam."

"Yeah, Cas." Sam stood up and walked back to Victoria's room.

Victoria Winchester had just been introduced to the world of the supernatural. She never believed in any such things before. But here she was, in a different world, with her family, but not her family. Her brother-in-law was an angel and her nephew was a Nephilim. Although in this place he wasn't her brother-in-law at all and this Dean seemed really agitated they were together in any version of reality. In her short time of knowing them she could tell there was affection between the two, but nothing like her Dean and Cas.

"Look, Dean, Cas, my daughters need me. Sam needs me. He can't pick out his tie in the mornings without my help. I'm really hoping this is just a really weird dream and I'll wake up soon. Somehow though, I know it's not. Please, do whatever you can to get me back."

Dean was used to Victoria taking matters into her own hands and seeing a version of her ask for help was just weird.

"Look, we want her back too. Sam has been so much better with Tor. I want my brother to be happy. And that girl makes him happy. So yeah, we're gonna get his girl back. But it's gonna take time. So settle in princess and enjoy the ride."

Her Dean would never talk to her like that. "I understand you're agitated or whatever, but if I am going to stay here for an extended period of time without my family, get one thing straight Dean Winchester, you will never talk to me like that again."

Dean was taken aback. "Yeah, I uh, get it." He paused and thought about how to continue. "So you and Sammy have daughters huh? Is other me a good Uncle?"

Victoria relaxed and sat back in her chair. "The best. The girls love you and Cas."

Dean tried to realize this wasn't easy for her either. He just didn't do well when Sammy was upset.

"What do they look like?"

"They're beautiful. They have my eyes and Sam's hair. " Victoria smiled sadly as she took another sip of her tea.

Dean imagined the life his brother could have had and became angry. He let the anger dissipate before he spoke again. "That's a good combo."

Jack looked at the woman who was supposed to be his aunt. "Do I exist in your world?"

"Of course you do. You're my nephew. Cas and Dean's son."

Castiel became increasingly more confused. "I do not understand."

Dean rubbed his eyes. He really didn't want to explain.

"In my world, time, reality, whatever, you are not an angel. You are a human. You are a religious studies professor at the University where I conduct research. We ride to work together every day. You are kind, considerate, funny, slightly sarcastic. I adore you. Three quarters of every class you teach have crushes on you. But you don't even notice."

"That does not sound like me."

"It's not you, it's him. My Cas. My beautiful human Castiel."

"Who names their kid Castiel?"

Victoria looked at Dean. "A wonderful woman who just happened to have a miracle baby on a Thursday."

Mary wondered about her alternate life. "Do I exist?"

Victoria found herself enjoying talking about her life to people who knew nothing of it and were genuinely interested.

"Of course you do. You're the most wonderful Mom and Grandma ever. Jack and the girls adore you."

Dean swallowed and asked the question he had for a while. "And Dad?"

Victoria looked at him somewhat sadly. "Well, your Dad is of course your Mom's husband, Rob. Your Father, John, I've never even met. Umm, he didn't approve of Cas, to put it mildly. Sam told me it got really bad. Mary made him leave, they got divorced, and she found Rob. The best granddad possible. John's never met any of the grandchildren, not that I want him to."

Dean didn't really know how to process any of that information. But none of it was his life, so it didn't really matter.

"I still do not understand, Dean. In this Victoria's world are we…"

"Shut up Cas."

Victoria rolled her eyes. "Don't be an infant Dean. Yes, Cas, in my world human Castiel and non-hunter Dean are very happily married to each other. They adopted a wonderful boy named Jack several years ago. They have raised him to be a very kind human being. Their personalities are completely different from y'alls. I've been here for roughly two hours and I can tell that. I know that y'all are going to get me back home. My Dean and Cas would stare at each other until someone else figured it out. So, don't get all weird because two completely different versions of the two of you are a couple. I mean Lord Almighty you didn't even know about this parallel world until this morning. Get over the weirdness and get me home."

Victoria got up from her seat and went back to the room that would be hers until she got home.

Sam saw her come in and immediately felt like an intruder.

"Uh, sorry, I came in here out of habit, I'll go."

He closed his laptop and got up off the bed.

"I know it's really strange for you to see me and have it not be her. Because looking at you and knowing you're not my Sam is pretty much the worst pain I have ever felt. I'm sure your lifestyle has put you through a lot, so this might not be as bad for you. But you're only human, and I know you love her, so I'm pretty sure it's bad for you too. Don't apologize for being in the room you share."

Sam nodded as he left and closed the door behind him.

Sam took his laptop into the library and plopped it in front of Dean. He began to speak as he opened it.

"So get this, what if Tor went to a different version of time, not necessarily a different world?"

Castiel titled his head. "Is that type of travel possible without a rift?"

"I think so, yeah. Sometimes it can be as simple as a room that the two different versions of people share."

Dean looked at the webpage. "Parallel time? So what? We find extra annoying Victoria's home here and see if we can see our Tor?"

"I think that's all we can go on right now."

Dean looked at his little brother. "All right, so let's get powered-down Buffy, the 'Stang, some beef jerky and get Tor back."

"We can't take the Mustang, Dean. Tor will legitimately end your life, and I like having a brother, but I won't blame her, so I'll be torn."

"But, she'll want to drive it first thing when she gets back, so we have to take it. For her."

"It's your life Dean." Sam went to go pack and tell Victoria of their plan.

"I'm driving the 'Stang." Dean smiled as he turned to his best friend. "Cas, work with the kid's powers while we're gone. I think he needs to control the flying thing first."

Cas nodded. "Of course." Castiel couldn't help but look concerned.

"What's wrong Cas?"

"Victoria's presence is one of the factors in Jack's protection. As are you and Sam. I'm worried that if it is known that the three of you are away, Victoria somewhat more so, than an attack will be planned. My strength is at full capacity, however, even I cannot defeat numerous enemies while protecting Mary and Jack."

"I am getting stronger Dad, if anything comes, I can help."

"I am aware of your powers Jack, and I am very proud of you for them, but you know as well as I do that they need to be honed, perfected. Victoria's absence leaves us very little time for that."

"Call us Cas, for anything. And don't forget about Zeke. He's the same power level as you, and he's got Guardian status. We'll bring Tor home, and keep saving the world."

A/N: Chapter Summary: Victoria Winchester, who has been married to Sam Winchester for ten years, wakes up in a darkened room next to a Sam who has no idea what she's talking about. Jack sent his Aunt to a parallel time where the boys are guessing their Tor is. Victoria Winchester tells the family a bit about her life with three girls, their uncles, cousin, and grandparents (a man Mary married after John). The boys promise parallel universe (or time as Sam discovered) Victoria that they are going to get her home. I'm sorry for those of you who may not be Destiel fans, but I promise to always include warnings and a summary for those of you who may not want to read the details. :-)

Up next... Victoria Doyle wakes up in a very different situation
