I
woke up in a fog, I was moving and had no clue what was going on, my
entire body felt numb,
"Kaiden?" Dean's voice cut through
my confused thoughts,
I groaned and heard him sigh,
"Thank
God."
I opened my eyes and saw that I was laying in the back
seat of the Impala, my head resting on Dean's lap.
He looked
exhausted and worried as hell,
"Dean?" I managed, "What the
hell is going on?"
I went to sit up and for some reason I
couldn't move. Panic surged through my body, but nothing I did
would make me sit up or make either my arms or legs move.
What
the f is going on? I
thought, my mind racing to find reason. In all my efforts I had
managed only to wiggle slightly,
"Kaiden, stay still." He
said, his voice had more than just the exhaustion and worry I had
noticed before, he was in pain,
"How's our girl doin'?" I
heard a voice, Sam's voice, question from the front seat,
"She's
doin' good. Just hurry."
Sam glanced at Dean,
"And how
are you holding up?"
"The only thing that matters is getting
Kaiden to the hospital."
Hospital?
Why the hell are we going to the hospital?
All
the events of earlier came crashing down on me.
Dean. He'd been
shot. No wonder he was in so much pain. But if he was injured then
why was I the one resting on him?
The numbness that had been
blanketing my body lifted and I was left only with the pain of my
wounds.
I'd been hit too. I wasn't sure how many times though,
once? Twice? I knew I had been shot in the stomach and chest, because
that's were Dean was holding a bunched up t-shirts tightly to my
skin.
The pain was intensifying with every passing second. I
fought hard to remain conscious. A moan escaped my lips and I felt
Dean's body stiffen behind me,
"Sammy, the shock's wearing
off."
"Hold on, we're under ten minutes out."
He lifted
the shirt from where he was pressing it against my wounds and got a
good look at the damage.
My energy started to drain and my eyelids
drooped, but I battled to keep them open,
"She's losing too
much blood! Dammit! I can't stop the bleeding!"
"I'm
bleeding all over the leather." I said in attempt to make a
joke.
Dean brushed his hand over my forehead, wiping away the
moisture that had began to gather there. I had begun sweating and
shaking pretty much uncontrollably.
"I'll give you a freebie,
but only since you saved my life."
I had that feeling of peace.
One of those everything is going to be okay kind of moments, "I
love you Dean."
He stared at me in horror,
"No. No, no,
no. Kaiden. Hold on for me. Please. I know you're in a lot of pain
but you can do this." Tears streaked down his face and I could feel
them falling onto my skin, "You gotta' stay with me. Come on,
who's gonna tell me when I'm being a prick?"
I went to laugh
but it came out only as a cough and a small amount off blood trickled
from my mouth,
"Keep talkin' to her Dean!" Sam commanded
from the front seat and I could tell he had pressed down harder on
the gas pedal since the car sped up considerably.
My eyes began to
slid shut and my body relaxed, Dean noticed and shook me,
"Stay
with me Kay." He glanced up at Sam, "Sammy you better have that
gas pedal pressed right against the floor, 'cause this is the
mother of your future nieces and nephews we're talkin' about."
I
went to say something but at that moment we pulled to a stop and Sam
was lifting me out of the car and sprinting through a pair of
automatic sliding doors.
The pull on my eyelids was becoming too
strong for me to hold on much longer,
"I need a doctor!" I
heard Sam yell, "My sister-in-law's been shot!"
I smiled
softly at the idea of being Dean's wife before my eyes unfocused
and I slid out of consciousness
