Author Note: This chapter isn't very action packed but I had to get some dialogue out of the way. A lot more action is coming in the next few chapters, so bear with me! Once again, thanks for reading! :)

The boys and I stay at Bobby's for two weeks while I recover from my various cuts and bruises, but the boys are starting to get restless. They haven't gone this long without hunting in a long time, so they are itching to get back out there. While we are all sitting in the kitchen eating some lunch Bobby gets a call from one of his hunting buddies. He chats with him for a while, but they eventually say their goodbyes.

"What's up Bobby?" Dean asks, excitement in his voice.

Bobby sets the phone down, "That was Mike, he just caught wind of a Poltergeist terrorizing a family in Minnesota, but he can't take care of it because he has a different job to do." Sam and Dean both perk up at this, "Asked me if I wanted it but you guys could take it instead."

They both look at me really quick when they think I'm not looking.

I look up at them, "Guys. I'm fine, go hunt this thing. I'm not going anywhere." I try not to feel too disappointed that I'm not well enough to go with them.

"Are you sure?" Sam asks me with a worried look on his face

I smile at him, "Yeah, you guys need to be out there saving people, it's what you do best."

They immediately get up and start getting their stuff together, it's going to be a long drive, so they would have to leave soon. I get up and help Bobby clean up the dishes before heading upstairs to the bedrooms. I hold my side as I climb the stairs; the wounds are healing but they are still extremely sore. I walk into the bedroom and sit on the bed, so I can watch Sam pack.

Sam glances over at me and grabs my hand, "It's going to be weird being away from you. We haven't spent more than a few hours apart in over a year." His thumb traces circles on the back of my hand.

I look at our hands instead of his face because I know I would cry if I looked at him, "I know, it's going to suck."

I fake pout and he laughs, "You're too much." He lifts my chin and kisses me softly.

"Ew!" Dean exclaims when he walks into the room, "Close the door next time jeez."

I roll my eyes at him, "Are you guys leaving now?" I ask him.

"Yeah, I think we can make it there by nightfall if we leave now." Dean grabs some of their bags and heads down the stairs.

Sam smiles at me, grabs my hand and we follow him down the stairs. We walk outside and join Dean and Bobby next to the Impala. Sam goes to put his bag inside and I turn towards Dean.

I give him a hug, "Please be careful, I think we've had enough hospital visits for a while."

He chuckles, "You got it kiddo, we'll be back before you know it."

He gives Bobby a hug and then hops into the car. Sam walks over and gives Bobby a hug before turning towards me.

"I'll send you updates and let you know if we need anything looked up." He wraps me in a big hug, making sure not to squeeze my side that has the stitches in it. He gets into the car and rolls the window down, so he can wave to us.

I stand back with Bobby and wave to them, "Hurry back!" I say, trying to hide the worry that was building inside of me.

Bobby puts his arm around my shoulder as the Impala turns out of his yard, "They'll be back soon don't worry."

I nod my head and walk back inside. The next two days pass by so slowly. I try to pass the time by cleaning Bobby's house, but I can only do so much before my stitches start to hurt and I have to stop. I try not to worry about Sam and Dean because they are the best hunters I've ever met, but my mind continues to drift to the worst-case scenarios. The best part of my day is when Sam sends me little updates about what they are doing and how close they are to finishing the job. Today, he sends me a picture of him in his suit before they leave to dig up some information on the history of the affected house. This puts a smile on my face, I can't wait to see him again.

Later that evening, he calls me with an update, "Hey Maddy, we found out who was haunting the house and we successfully salted and burned them."

Happiness flows through me, "That's great! And neither of you got hurt?"

"Maybe a couple of bruises but nothing major." It sounds like he is smiling.

Relief washes over me, "So are you guys hitting the road now!?" excitement creeps into my tone

"No, we have some stuff to pack up, so I think we are going to wait until morning to head out."

"Oh..." I try to not sound too disappointed, "That makes sense, you guys must be exhausted."

"I can't wait to see you though, we'll be home soon."

We chat a little bit longer but then he has to hang up, so he can pack up his bags. I stay up late that night watching TV with Bobby. Eventually Bobby starts to fall asleep, so he heads off the bed. I was watching a cooking show, but I must have fallen asleep because next thing I know I am jolted awake by a noise coming from outside. I put my shoes on and grab my gun from the coffee table. I cock the gun and slowly open the back door. I turn the corner quickly pointing my gun at whoever/whatever is in Bobby's backyard. However, it isn't an intruder, I find myself pointing the gun at Dean.

"Hey!", he yells, "It's just me!"

I lower the gun and clutch my chest, "Jesus! You scared the crap out of me! I thought you were an intruder, why are you lurking around out here!"

He laughs, "We didn't want to wake you guys up!"

I put the gun in my waistband and pull him in for a hug, "Glad to see you back in one piece."

He walks inside, and I make my way to the car to find Sam. He is leaning inside the backseat pulling bags out. I hug him from behind and he quickly spins around so he can give me a real hug.

He pulls me in for a kiss that makes my head spin, "I've been thinking about this moment the whole drive." He chuckles.

"Wow, you should go away more often that was amazing." I feel so happy being in his arms again, "But also never go away again that was horrible."

"I'm so glad we decided to come home tonight, this is worth the sleep deprivation." He grabs my hand and we walk inside. The house instantly feels better now that Sam and Dean are back, and I feel that I can finally relax. We go upstairs, and Sam takes a shower while I craw into bed. Before I fall asleep I feel Sam crawl into bed and he puts his arms around me, I flip over so that I am looking at him. Thoughts are running wild in my head, but I can't decide if I should say them out loud. I decide to be brave and hope that it doesn't backfire.

Sam looks at me, "I can feel your heart beating so fast, what are you thinking about?"

I take a deep breath, "We've only been dating for a couple weeks, but we've known each other for over a year now. Being away from you for a couple days has made me realize some things."

Sam looks a little nervous, "Yeah…?"

I smile up at him, "Well, I think that I- that I love you."

He sits up in the bed and smiles, "Say it again."

"I love you Sam Winchester." I can't contain my smile

He grabs my face and kisses me hard, "I love you too Maddy."

I hug him as hard as my stitches allow me, thinking about how this is the best night of my life.
