What am I going to do without her?

Dean was driving the Impala around for hours before pulling up to the hospital again. He turned off the engine but didn't get out. Instead he laid his head down on the steering wheel and sighed.

"What am I going to do without her?" He asked aloud.

"Nothing, because you're not going to lose her."

Dean's head snapped up as Missouri got into the passenger seat. Dean looked over and sighed.

"Come on Dean, drive me home and we'll talk."

"No offense…but I'm not really in the mood to talk." He started the engine again.

"Really? Is that why you were just talking to yourself? Now one thing I want you to understand is that if something does happen to Melanie, god forbid it did, but if something did you wouldn't be alone."

"Missouri…"

"Sam needs you more than anyone. Ever since you carried him from the fire and I'm not talking about your mom's death, I'm talking about Jess'. You saved him that night. If you hadn't turned around he would probably be dead to. He needs you and your dad needs you to keep him sane."

"They don't need me as much as I need them…" Dean repeated the demons words.

"Who ever told you that was being an ass because that's not true. That girl in there…she needs you too. She needs you to be her friend, her brother, her uncle, and another dad."

"She already has a dad…a great one at that."

"And she loves Sam more than anyone but she needs you too. Children need two parents no matter what form the parent comes from they still need them."

Dean was on the verge of tears, "Is she going to wake up?"

"Boy, how many times do I have to tell you I can't just pull facts from thin air like that?"

Dean laughed for the first time in almost three days. After he drove Missouri home he went back to the hospital. When he walked into Mel's room it looked like Sam and Kelly were in deep conversation but stopped when they saw him.

"Dean, you're back."

"No shit, Sammy. Any change?"

"No…she seems to have calmed down though."

"Good, what were you two talking about?" He asked taking a seat next to Mel.

"I don't think that's any of your business," Kelly said smugly.

"No it is because it concerns Mel and that means it's his business too," Sam stated calmly.

"One of you better tell me what's going on right now," Dean was getting angry again.

"Kelly and I have decided that once Mel wakes up that Kelly and she should spend some time together, you know to get to know each other."

Dean chuckled, "You're kidding?"

"No…"

"So when Mel wakes up you're going to hand her over to a woman she doesn't even know and probably doesn't care to know?"

"How would you know what she wants?" Kelly snapped.

"I'm a hell of a lot closer to her than you are, sweetheart."

"You're an asshole Dean, you always have been."

Before Dean could say anything Sam cut him off, "Stop it, both of you. Dean, do you really think Mel wouldn't want to spend time with Kelly?"

"Well, I don't know Sam. I mean she did breakdown into hysterics when I compared her to Kelly or have you forgotten that little scenario?"

Sam thought back to when he was holding his daughter in his arms with her pleading with him to forgive her for being like Kelly. It was something he never wanted to re-live.

"Kelly, maybe we should ask her when she wakes up before we just jump into this."

"Oh come on Sam, don't you think you know what your daughter wants better than Dean."

"Dean's been with me every step of the way with raising Mel and I trust his opinion."

Kelly looked over at Dean while he gave her a smart ass smile. A week and a half passed and tensions ran high in the hospital. Sam was getting frustrated with the doctors, Dean was getting frustrated with Kelly, Kelly was frustrated with everyone else, Cassie was doing her best to keep the peace, and John went on the hunting trip they were supposed to go on before this all happened.

"What did the doctor say?" Dean asked when Sam reentered the room.

"Same as always, "Give it time, Mr. Winchester."" Sam mimicked the doctor's voice to a T.

"Alright that's enough of this shit," Dean turned towards Mel's sleeping form, "Mel Winchester you better open your damn eyes right this second or I swear to god!"

"Dean, yelling at her lifeless body won't help!" Kelly yelled.

"She's not lifeless!" He yelled back.

"Both of you shut the hell up!" Sam yelled.

Dean and Kelly instantly stopped. Sam moved next to Mel; he took out her necklaces and bracelet and put them on her. Dean smiled at the bracelet and remembered how happy Mel was when he gave it to her. Sam bent his head down and kissed her forehead. He then took the seat next to her and intertwined her fingers with his and rested his head on her arm.

"Come on Mel please sweetheart…wake up, please do this for me Mel. I'm begging you. Please open your eyes, Melanie."

"It's Mel."
