Apologies, Christmas, and Babies

"Get up! We need to talk; I'll be in the living room."

I jack hammered up in bed at the sound of my Uncles booming voice. I looked at the clock and saw it was only 8:30. It seemed like that dinner was hours and hours in the past but in actuality it was only two hours. I slowly made my way to the living room; he was pacing back and forth but stopped when he saw me.

"Where's Dad?" I asked.

"Why? Scared I'll kill you without any witness'?" He deadpanned.

"Yes, actually that's exactly what I'm scared of," I said in all seriousness.

"Your dad is driving Cassie back to my place, my dad went home, and I stayed here in case you came back."

"Is Dad coming home soon?"

He ignored me, "I want an explanation right now Melanie."

"I don't really feel like explaining myself right now…"

"Do I look like I give a damn about how you feel right now?"

"Well, that's pretty damn clear…" I mumbled.

"What the hell does that mean?"

"Don't you understand?" I sighed.

"No, I don't that's why I want to know what's wrong with you?"

"I don't like her."

"You don't even know her! Why can't I be happy Mel?"

My heart dropped, "You're not happy?"

"No Mel, it's not that I'm unhappy with you and your dad it's just… I want to be happier with my own life."

"I don't want you to leave!" I blurted out.

His eyes widened, "What?"

"Don't you get it? Say she really does love you then what are you going to do? Marry her? Have kids? Become an Uncle I'm only going to see on holidays? I don't want things to change. Everything is fine the way it is!"

"Nothing will change, Melanie."

"Bull shit! I'll never see you without her and I don't want her around. I want my Uncle not Uncle and Aunt. And I know that's selfish and I'm being a bitch but I don't care. Did you ever see the show My Two Dads? You're my dad Dean as much as dad is. Don't you see that? You're my dad too!"

"Melanie…"

"Let me finish please….And what happens if she leaves you? I can't see you go through the guilt and the hurt that my dad goes through every fucking day! I can't see that on two people in my life. My dad thinks it's his fault mom left and it's not! It's mine!"

"That's not true!"

"Yes, it is! She ditched us three months after I was born! Everyone always tells me how happy they were before she took off. In other words how happy they were before I was born! I don't want you to get hurt. I can't see anymore hurt. There's too much in my dad's heart and in Gramps'. I can't see it in you too."

I took a deep breath and sat down. I could feel his frustration, confusion, and hurt all in one. I had to put up my walls to block it out. He knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my knees.

"Melanie, I love you so much. You have no idea how happy I was when you said I was your dad because I've always thought of you as my daughter too. But…I need something more than that just like your dad does. Cassie and I love each other and I know it hurts you and you're afraid she'll leave me but that's life. People come and go into our lives and we can't stop it."

"You can if you just don't start anything."

"A smart kick ass girl once said if everyone was scared of what the day brought no one would get out of bed….it's time I get out of bed Mel."

I gave him a confused look, "Is that supposed to mean something?"

He chuckled, "It means it's time I start a life of my own. Not that you and your dad aren't the best things in my life but I need something more."

"I'm not going to see you much anymore, am I?"

"Mel, I'm still going to be here as much as I can it's just Cassie might be here too."

I groaned and put my head in my hands. He lifted my chin up and gave me the Winchester smile.

"At least give her a chance?"

"Three strikes and she's out."

"Deal."

I gave him a hug and that's when my dad walked in. He smiled as soon as he saw me but I took off for the bathroom. He was banging on the door in an instant.

"Mel, come out."

"No I don't want to hurt you again. I'm so sorry dad."

"Melanie, I want you to open up this door this second or I swear to god I'll knock it down," My dad stated firmly.

I quietly opened the door. My dad was standing there smiling and I just jumped into his arms. I buried my head in his shoulder and cried.

"I'm sorry Daddy, I never meant for that to happen. Please forgive me, please!"

"Of course I forgive you Melanie, you're my daughter and I love you."

"Did it really hurt?" I asked.

"My back's a little sore but nothing to worry about. Come on I think you need to get some sleep."

He walked me back to my room but before he shut the door I needed to ask him something.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, sweetheart?"

"What's happening to me?"

"Your powers are just growing. You'll be fine, I promise."

The next morning I felt like I was six years old all over again. At exactly 7 o clock I ran into my dad's bedroom and jumped on his bed.

"Get up, get up, and get up! It's Christmas!"

"Ug…I'm so making it 8 o clock next year."

"Too late! Get up!"

"Alright, I'm up, I'm up."

He sat up and my breath caught when I saw his back there were black and blue marks all over.

"Dad…"

He glanced back at me and realized what I was looking at. He quickly threw on a sweatshirt and smiled at me.

"Don't worry about, it doesn't even hurt."

"Liar."

"Come on don't you want to open presents?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Language!"

"Sorry!"

I called while running out of his room into the living room. I was about to rip open a present when my dad grabbed it.

"You know the rules, not until your Uncle and Gramps gets here."

"Is Cassie coming?"

"Yes she is. Are you going to be civil?"

"I'll do my best."

"Ho, Ho, Ho the sexiest Santa around is here!"

My Uncle called strolling through the front door with Cassie and Gramps behind him. I jumped up, gave him and Gramps a hug, and went back to my presents.

"Alrighty they're here lets open."

"Chill out kid, don't you want some breakfast?" My Uncle asked sitting next to me on the couch.

"No! I want presents!"

"Knock yourself out, Mel." Gramps said throwing another present to me.

"Sweet!"

I opened my present from Gramps and it was an antique rifle that was the most wonderful thing I've ever seen.

"Oh my god Gramps, it's awesome!" I yelled grabbing him into a hug.

"Yeah, I know. You be careful with that."

"Thanks dad, give her something else that could possibly harm her if used wrong," Dad smirked.

"Hey, Winchester's don't use guns wrong." Dean stated.

I smiled and opened my presents from my dad. The first few were books he saw me eyeing up last time we were at the bookstore. Then there was a few DVD's and CD's that I asked for. Then I opened a small box and saw a silver necklace inside with my birthstone in the middle of a heart. On the back the engraving said "To my Melanie, Love Dad."

"Dad, it's gorgeous."

"You like it?"

"I love it!"

I got up and gave him a huge hug and then asked him to put it on me. It hung nicely next to my pendant from Dean.

"Okay Mel, um... I know I don't know you very well but I got you something anyway." Cassie said pulling a box from her pocket.

"Thanks but you really didn't have to Cassie."

"Well, I wanted to so open it!" She said excitedly.

I opened the box and saw a black handled switch blade with M.W. engraved on the side.

"Holy shit Cassie, this is so cool. Thanks so much. Dad, check it out!"

I held it up for him to see and he smiled. I showed it to my Uncle and Gramps too and then looked back at Cassie.

"Cassie, um…I'm really sorry I was such a…"

"Language," My father warned.

"Jerk," I replaced, "You didn't deserve to be treated like that and I'm really sorry."

She smiled, "It's completely understandable Mel. You're forgiven."

"Cool, hey um... I seemed to have noticed that I have yet to get any presents from you Uncle Dean." I said sitting closer to him and wiggling my eyebrows.

He seemed be thinking hard but I punched his shoulder and he laughed, "Oh that, yeah go put on some boots and grab your jacket."

"Why?"

"Did you seriously just question me when I'm holding your present hostage?"

"Be right back!"

After I put on my boots as fast I could I grabbed my jacket and stood in front of him smiling.

"Okay come on! Let's go!"

Everyone grabbed their coats and Uncle Dean blindfolded me and guided me outside. When I stepped down our porch stairs I was about to bust with anticipation.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yeah!"

He took off the blindfold and I nearly died. My baby, my 1966 Mustang was sitting right behind his Impala. It was black and beautiful. I had gotten my license a week ago and was dying to drive her. I screamed and ran towards it. I was jumping up and down touching her hood very gently.

"My baby, you're done. You're actually done. Oh my god! I love you!"

I hugged the hood of the car and turned to see my family smiling and laughing at my antics. I ran up to my Uncle Dean and threw my arms around his neck.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Dean!"

"No problem, Mel. But Tony helped a lot to so I also got you something else."

"Uncle Dean, the car is enough. You don't need to give me anything else…but since you already bought it…give it!"

He laughed and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box and when I opened it, it was a matching bracelet to the necklace my dad got me. On the back of the heart with my birthstone it said, "To my niece, Love Dean."

"Oh my god, Uncle Dean. You did way too much!"

"I guess you like it then?"

"Of course I like it!"

I put it on immediately then bent down and made a snowball. I chucked it at my dad and it turned into quite a fun snowball fight. One fly snowball went straight between mine and Dean's car.

"Hey watch my baby!" Dean and I yelled at the same time.
