Madison woke up feeling much better, thank god. She showered and got herself done, before she woke up Brianna.
She crept into her room and smiled at her daughter. She looked so small and angelic when she was sleeping, with was the furthest thing when she was awake. Brianna had a dynamic personality and it kept Madison going.
"Baby doll, wake up, we have to get ready," Brianna slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her mom.
"You feel better today Mommy?" She asked crawling out of bed.
"Yes Ma'am. Let's pick out an outfit for today. It looks like it might rain. You want to wear your new sparkly jeans?" Madison asked.
"Yes!" Brianna smiled. They were brand new and she had been itching for the chance to wear them. She wore her sparkle jeans, a white collared polo shirt and her princess jacket. Madison pulled her long hair into a high ponytail that bounced when she walked.
They ate a quick breakfast and were at the bus stop waiting for the bus.
"Mommy, will you be home with me tomorrow?" Brianna asked.
"Yep! It's the weekend love. I'll spend the whole weekend with you!" Madison laughed tickling Brianna, who giggled and squealed.
The bus came quickly after and Madison made her way to work.
---------------------------------------
Dean picked up Brianna from the bus in the Impala. It had been raining all day and he wasn't gonna stand outside in the rain. The wet little girl got into the car, little pieces of hair that fell from her ponytail plastered to her face.
"Hi Uncle Dean," she greeted him with a big wet kiss.
"Eww, girl cooties," Dean laughed, making Brianna laugh too.
"Uncle Sam says girls don't have cooties," she said matter-o-factly.
"That's because your uncle is a cootie!" Dean laughed, tickling the little girl until she was nearly out of breath.
He pulled into the driveway and they ran quickly into the house. They walked into the kitchen where Dean cut up an apple for Brianna while she washed her hands in the sink.
"Uncle Dean, you wanna do a puzzle?"
"Sure, go pick one out," Dean said, sitting at the table. Brianna came scurrying back with a fifty piece, baby kitten puzzle and the two began to work.
"Uncle Dean?"
"Yea sweetheart," Dean answered, taking a bite from one of Brianna's apples.
"Where do babies come from?" Brianna asked, searching for a missing puzzle piece.
Dean nearly chocked on his apple. Where the hell did that come from?
"You ok Uncle Dean? " Brianna asked, when she heard Dean coughing on his apple.
"Yea, I'm fine," was his only answer, hoping the kid had forgotten a previous question.
"Good. So where do they come from?"
"When did this pop into your head?"
"Well, a girl in my class said her mommy is gonna have a baby, but where does she get it? Do you go to the store to get one?"
Dean was tempted to say yes and end the conversation, but he new that she had to know…he just wished Madison or Sam was here to help him.
"No, you don't get them from a store, silly. When a Mommy and Daddy are in love, they want to show that love to the world, so they have a baby," Dean answered.
"Oh…Well…where is the baby?"
"The baby grows inside the Mom's belly."
"I was inside Mom's belly!" Brianna asked surprised.
"Yea ma'am."
"How does the baby get in there?"
Uh oh… How the hell do I get around this one! "Well, all the love between the mommy and daddy grows and grows and the love turns into a baby inside Mommy's belly," Dean said.
"Oh…," Brianna answered again. "Mommy says Daddy was a good man in the inside, but couldn't stay with us. He is in heaven with Grandma and Grandpa. Is that true, Uncle Dean?"
"Yea, baby, that's true."
-----------------------------------------------------
Madison pulled into the driveway and ran inside her house; it had been pouring most of the day. Madison was greeted happily by her daughter and Dean, who had been sitting at the table doing a puzzle.
"Mommy! Uncle Dean told me where babies come from!" Brianna shouted as she hugged her mom. MAdiosn looked at Dean, she knew her brother was a lady's man and she prayed to god he gave her the abridged version.
"What did he tell you?" Madison asked, kneeling next to her.
"He said, when Mommy's and Daddy's love each other, the love turns into a baby that grows in the Mommy's belly," she said with a smile.
"Uncle Dean is very smart, huh?"
"Yes he is!" Brianna said happily and went to sit on her uncle's lap.
"Hey Mad, I'm not staying for dinner. The Impala is sounding like a cow dying so I'm gonna work on her for the night," he kissed Madison and Brianna and left the house.
"Looks like it's just you and me tonight baby!" Madison beamed.
"Yay! I love Uncle Dean and Uncle Sam but there boys. I like hanging with girls, especially you Mommy!"
Madison made dinner while Brianna continued her puzzle and babbled about her school day. The rain was picking up and Brianna turned to stare out the window.
"It looks like a shower outside Mommy!" Brianna stated, looking out the window.
Madison looked at her daughter and smiled. She quickly ran to her.
"Come on!" She yelled happily, leading a confused Brianna outside.
"Where are we going?" Brianna squealed.
Madison jumped off the porch and began dancing in the rain. Brianna stared at her like she had sprouted five heads.
"Mommy, what are you doing?! You're getting all wet!" Brianna laughed as her Mom did cartwheels in the front yard. Madison was soon joined by Brianna and the two began to dance and play in the rain.
---------------------------------------------------
Dean peeked his head out his garage door to see what all the commotion next door was about. He laughed and shook his head, and returned to his car. Madison was as much of a child as Brianna was.
---------------------------------------------------
After fifteen minutes and being soaked to the bone, the girls returned inside to finish dinner.
"Baby, go upstairs and put on some nice warm pj's ok?" Madison asked, while clearing the dishes. Brianna bounded upstairs, leaving Madison alone in the kitchen. She grabbed some towels to clean all the puddles they made when she was hit with a coughing fit. It started like all the normal ones but the coughing steadily became worse and worse.
Brianna came back downstairs and heard her Mom in the kitchen.
"Mommy, are you ok?' She asked. Madison tried to answer but the coughing wouldn't stop. She nodded her head but she was finding it more and more difficult to breathe. She collapsed in the kitchen, still coughing but becoming more and more dizzy and faint.
"Mommy!" Brianna screamed, rushing towards her Mom.
"Are you ok?" she asked with complete terror in her eyes. Madison pointed right, signaling for Dean.
"Ok, I'll go get him. I'll be right back!" Brianna ran as fast as her little legs could carry her.
---------------------------------------------
A terrified scream for him was all Dean had to hear before sensing it was an emergency. Brianna was sprinting towards him, eyes wide with fear.
"Brianna what's wrong?" Dean ran to her kneeling down in front of her.
"It's Mommy, she's coughing really bad," Brianna yelled. "She fell over Uncle Dean," she whispered, her little bottom lip quivering.
Dean scooped her up and headed for Madison's. Once inside, he placed Brianna on the couch.
"Stay here, don't move ok?" Dean commanded, and Brianna nodded her head, silent tears streaming down her face.
"It's ok, I'm gonna check on Mommy," Dean left the little girl and went to check on his sister.
Madison was lying quiet on the kitchen floor. Dean ran to her and cradled her in his arms.
"Mad, wake up!" He repeated over and over, but she didn't. Her breathing was very shallow and short, and Dean feared she would stop breathing all together.
"Brianna! Come here I need your help!" The little girl scampered into the room, still crying.
"I need you to go to the phone and call 9-1-1."
"Mommy told me not to talk to strangers or answer the phone," she replied, twisting her fingers nervously in her shirt.
"Remember when Mommy told you the number you call in emergencies? This is an emergency. You need to call them, tell them our address, and that Mommy needs help. Can you do that?" The little girl did and within ten minutes, the longest ten minutes of Dean and Brianna's life, the ambulance arrived.
---------------------------------------------
Sam and Melissa were having a great time at dinner, laughing and imagining the events that could take place after dinner…
Sam felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. It was Dean. Something's wrong…
"Hello?" Sam answered
"What! How? Never mind, I'll be right there!"
"Hey, what's wrong?" Melissa asked, seeing the obvious terror running through her boyfriend…well…friend…well whatever he was.
"It's Madison, she collapsed. She's at the hospital, I gotta go." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek, paid for the meal against Melissa's wished, and sped to the hospital.
