Memories

General POV

"I hate this so much; I'm supposed to be with my daughter right now. She's not supposed to be alone in a cold basement dealing with this by herself." Sam ranted while pacing the living room.

"Sam's she's a tough kid she'll be fine."

"That's just it dad! She's a kid! She's only 16 this isn't supposed to be happening!"

Dean placed his hand on his brother's shoulder to still his movements.

"Sam, you need to calm down. You freaking out isn't going to help her."

"I just wish I could be in the same room with my daughter."

"Congratulations Mister Winchester you have a healthy little girl."

Sam's smile widened, "A girl really?"

"Here she is."

The nurse placed the tiny bundle into his arms and he started to cry. He walked over to his wife; she was crying happy tears upon seeing her husband and new daughter.

"She's beautiful." Sam gasped.

"Takes after her daddy," Kelly said happily.

"I can't believe we made this. She's just so…"

"Fantastic I know, did you decide between Sandra and Melanie?"

"Melanie…she looks like a Melanie." Sam asked brushing a finger down the baby's cheek.

"Melanie's a beautiful name Sam."

Dean pulled Sam out his memory by handing him a beer. The Winchester men sat around the living room trying to be calm.

"Do you guys remember when we first brought her home from the hospital…God Kelly coddled her like there was no tomorrow," His voice grew softer, "At least for the first month…"

John tried to get a happy memory out of that, "Oh yeah and Dean was afraid to hold her remember?" John laughed.

"I don't know Sam…what if…what if I drop it on its head?" Dean asked uncertainly.

Sam smirked, "First of all it's a girl so stop calling her it. Her name's Melanie. You won't drop her Dean and if you do we'll just have to assume she'll grow up like you."

"Oh you're hilarious Sammy. Gimme her."

Dean held out his arms and Sam placed Melanie into her Uncles arms gently. Dean looked down at the baby and smiled at her big hazel eyes.

"She's not going to vomit on me is she?"

"She's two days old Dean." Kelly laughed.

"So, what the hell does that matter?" Dean looked down at his niece and smiled, "Can I talk her outback?"

"Well…" Kelly started.

"It's fine Kel, go ahead Dean."

Dean carried her carefully outback. He sat down on the patio swing and looked down at the baby.

"Okay, now listen up Mel. One, I don't do baby talk it's something geeks do like your dad. Two, I'm the cool Uncle got it? Three, this backyard is where I'm going to teach the basics of shooting, using knifes, darts, and bows and arrows. Four, I'll always be there for you no matter what. And last but never least; never be afraid to talk to me because I'll always listen."

The newborn looked up at her Uncle and Dean swears she smiled at him. The little smirk she had made his eyes tear up.

"Hah, do you guys remember her first full phrase?" Dean laughed.

"Yes, and I tell you again I was not happy about that. Dean taught her to say Daddy is geek boy."

"Oh yeah, I remember that," John laughed taking another swig of beer.

"Sam when was the first time you realized she wasn't a baby anymore?"

Sam thought for a moment before answering, "She was twelve and it was the anniversary of Kelly and my marriage. I thought she had gone to a friend's house so I went into my room and pulled out my wedding album…"

"Dad, are you okay?"

Sam looked up to see Melanie standing in the doorway of his room. He quickly wiped his tears away and smiled.

"Sure sweetheart, what are you doing here?"

"I don't know I got his feeling something was wrong when I left so I came back."

Melanie walked over and sat next to her dad on his bed looking at the album.

"You actually got Uncle Dean and Gramps to wear tux's?" She pointed to a picture of them making a face at the camera.

"It took 30 bucks each but they did it." He turned the page at it was a picture of him and Kelly feeding each other the cake.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, Mel…"

"Mom didn't leave because of you. Uncle Dean says she left because she wasn't responsible enough to handle a family. We don't need her dad we have each other and that's all we need right?"

Sam pulled his daughter into a hug and kissed her head, "Right sweetheart that's exactly right."

"She's to smart for own good," Dean pondered.

"Yep, do you remember when you two left me babysitting and she got her…you know?" John shuddered.

"Gramps! Something wrong!" Mel came running out of the bathroom.

"What? What is it?" He said jumping off the couch.

"Gramps, I think I have hemorrhoids! I was bleeding! A lot! We have to go to the hospital!"

"Whoa, whoa wait Mel calm down. Sit down for a second."

Melanie sat down next to her grandfather and both were shifting nervously.

"Mel…um…as a girl you're going to go through changes…uh…one of those changes is…called a…um…period. You see…you're going to um…bleed once a month…But there's things you can buy to um...help…with that."

"So wait, I have to live with this forever?"

"Once a month until you hit menopause."

"When will that happen?"

"Your late forties."

"This is going to suck ain't it Gramps?"

"Yep, come on I'll take you to the store and you can ask one of the store women to help you out."

"We were there for all that stuff but now this happens. The biggest change in her life and I can't even be in the same room with her. It's not fair."

Dean laughed bitterly, "When has our life ever been fair, Sam?"

"I'll drink to that," John said taking another swig.

MELANIE'S POV

"Missouri what part of this aren't you getting? I can't do it again! My head is pounding I can't even hear myself think!"

"Mel, you have to deal with the pain to get to the pleasure part. It's like sex."

"I haven't experienced that pleasant little encounter yet thank you very much," I said sarcastically.

We had been at this building walls thing for three hours now and my head felt like it had rock salt shot at it. I got the walls up at least four more times but now I'm just tired.

"You have to do this Melanie. You just have to! Now try again!" Missouri urged.

"No! I don't want to!"

The whole house shook causing on of the book cases to fall just barley missing my head. Dad, Dean, and Gramps came running down the stairs to see what was wrong. My head felt like it was busting in half. I started screaming as the pain filled my entire body.

"Boys you have to get out of here your sadness and concern is doing this to her!" Missouri yelled.

"I want to hold my daughter!" Sam said stubbornly.

"Stop it! Stop fighting! I can't take it, I can't take it."

The house shook again and another bookcase came down luckily Dean managed to side step it. I started crying and screaming I couldn't take all this pain.

"Sam don't you see that your mere presence is killing her!" Missouri yelled.

"Dear god, make it stop! Make it stop!"

"Melanie put up your walls! I know you can do this just focus. It's only you in this room. Focus and relax. Think of the happiest thing you can remember. Put up the walls Melanie."

"I can't! I can't I'm too weak!"

"Melanie Winchester! If there is one thing in this world that you are not it's weak! You're the strongest person I know! You can do this. I know you can." My dad soothed.

"He's right Melanie; remember you saved our asses from the zombies not the other way around." Uncle Dean encouraged.

"Relax kiddo…just relax…" Gramps tried.

I tried to think that I was the only person in this room. I'm sitting here alone looking at my palms thinking of a good memory. I'm going to try and remember a funny one this time.

"Dad!" Melanie called running into the kitchen two days after her 13th birthday.

"Yeah Mel, how come you're so late?"

"Dad, you always said we could talk about anything right?" She asked sitting at the kitchen table.

He immediately stopped washing the dishes and took the seat across from her.

"Yes, I did say that. Why? What happened?"

"Well, today I was in the school yard, right and this kid Tony came up to me and asked me if I like him."

Sam visibly tensed, "Uh…okay and what did you say?"

"I said I guess so you're a nice guy and everything. And then…"

Sam was about to be sick how dare some 13 year old punk ask my innocent, pure, daughter such a question. He had to get this conversation over with so he could find this kid and kill him.

"And then what Mel?"

"He kissed me," She said shyly.

Sam was trying to control himself from grabbing his gun and going on a hunt but for a human this time.

"How did you feel about that?" He asked unsteadily.

"Weird and… wet. I don't like him anymore."

"Did you tell him that?"

"Well…that's why I'm so late…I kind of punched him…I broke his nose and you might have to pay the hospital bills. I was in detention."

Sam breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Oh it's so worth it Melanie. Get your coat I'm taking you out to Pizza Hut tonight."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously let's head out."

I had my eyes closed and started laughing. I didn't even notice the pain had stopped until I heard Missouri's voice cut through my thoughts.

"Melanie, how are you feeling?"

I opened my eyes and realized my dad, uncle, and Gramps were still looking at me with concern but I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel it!"

"Oh my god! I can't feel their emotions! I did it! I really did it!"

"Now don't get too excited because we don't know how long the walls will stay up. We're still going to have to practice every day." Missouri stated firmly.

"Can I…?" I asked glancing at my dad.

She smiled, "Go ahead."

I jumped up from the floor and ran to my dad. He lifted me off the ground in a rib breaking hug. I never felt so happy in my entire life.

"Mel, what were you thinking of just then?" Uncle Dean asked.

"The first time a boy kissed me I broke his nose and dad took me to Pizza Hut," I explained not letting go of my dad.

"That's my niece." Dean said proudly and Gramps laughed.
