Bu… dump. Bu… du-dump.

His heart wasn't feeling very steady right now. He was hearing things too apparently. There was just no way the kid in front of him had said what he thought he had said. The kid was just lost and confused.

But he couldn't help but feel a tug on his heart strings when he looked at the kid. It was almost like he was looking at his childhood self.

"He… he said you were my daddy."

Dean gave the kid a bewildered look. "Who… who told you that?"

The kid pointed at the dead demon. "H-he did…" Looking up at Dean, the kid gave him a shy smile. "They… they gave me a picture of you."

"A… picture?"

The kid nodded slowly. "She said you were my daddy."

Dean took a hesitant step towards the child, then another until he was right in front of the kid, kneeling down so that they were eye to eye. He took a deep breath. Calm, he needed to stay calm. Nothing good ever happened when you didn't stay calm.

He placed his hands on the kid's shoulder. "Who. Told. You?"

So much for staying calm. The kid looked like a deer in headlights. He took another deep breath. Calm… stay calm.

"Who… told you that I was your," he grimaced, "daddy?"

"O-one of the d-demons…" The kid held out a wrinkled picture. "Said… this was you."

Dean took the picture and knew that he couldn't deny it. The picture might not have been a great quality shot of him, but it was most definitely him. He wasn't sure why on earth the demons would tell the kid that he was the dad. It didn't make sense… There was no way he could have a kid. Absolutely no way. And just to prove it, he was going to take a paternity test. A friend owed him a favor, so it'd be doable.

There was just no way he was a dad.

It was a silent drive back to the hotel. Well, not completely silent. The radio was humming softly. Dean didn't think it would be a good idea to let a little kid to listen to heavy metal or anything like that. The kid seemed okay… not scared despite having been around demons for a long time. He also noted that the kid was pretty well-behaved too. Didn't ask any questions or bug him. It was nice and quiet, just what Dean needed. Once he got all of his stuff (which wasn't much), they could hit the road. It wouldn't take too long to reach his friend. Maybe six hours? Nine hours tops.

He frowned some. Nine hours… Would the kid be okay? It wasn't like he ever travelled with a little kid before. (Sammy didn't count since he had been a kid at the as well. That experience definitely did not count.)

"So umm…" Dean eyed the kid beside him. He couldn't exactly let the kid sit in the backseat. Anything could happen with demons involved. Besides, the kid would be okay. There was a seatbelt. It wasn't like the kid would be with him very long anyways. There was no need for a booster seat (not to mention it would look horrible in Baby). "You hungry?"

The kid glanced over at him and shrugged.

Dean pursed his lips. "Well… I for one, am starving." He gave the kid a small grin. "You like hamburgers?"

The kid looked up at him with a curious look.

Dean deadpanned. "Don't tell me you never heard of hamburgers…"

Looking at the kid, he could tell his fears were confirmed. The poor kid had never experienced the awesomeness of a hamburger. Well that was about to change! He'd treat to the kid to a yummy burger. Oh and pie too! This kid was in for a real treat. (And maybe the kid would actually appreciate his taste in food, not like Sammy and his oh so healthy rabbit food.

Author's Note: I apologize for a short chappie. I'm a bit busy with finals this week, but I really wanted to update this chapter for you guys and gals!
