ENJOY

The boys were alone once again, John had left during the night, after packing his few things from the room he had been staying in. The only thing hinting that he had even been there was the simple white envelope that lay on the kitchen table full of money. A sad smile adorned both boy's faces as they looked at the money.

"Thanks" Sam said as he looked at Dean, having overheard the conversation between his older sibling and his father.

"No problem little brother" he replied as he hid the money in a small jar in the kitchen before turning back. "Hey, if you're up to it, you wanna help out with the charms?" Dean cringed slightly, he felt as if he was talking to a six year old, and he could see the same thing written across Sam's face as well, but it quickly disappeared.

"Yeah" was the soft reply Dean received. "That's my boy" he exclaimed, a small smile tugging at his lips as he slapped a hand around Sam's back, "Lets fix this place up so we don't have anymore un-announced visitors."

Sam just smiled, ignoring the tugging feeling of what the demon had told him about the charms, how they didn't stop him from coming into the house. Slowly following his brother through the house, the boys were alone again, but both of them knew they were never truly alone.

MONTH 5 TREATMENT DAY 2

Their father had left three weeks ago, three weeks on their own and both boys had been coping, but now, as Dean sat and watched helplessly at the slow drip of the IV while Sam slept, he craved the comforting presence of their father.

A soft moan brought his attention back to his brother who tossed lightly, the chemo making even sleep an uncomfortable task. "Easy Sammy" he whispered calming his brother's movements. "Let the medicine do its job, its almost over for the day" he tried to reassure, knowing that the comforting words were more for himself then for Sam.

The older brother continued to watch his brother sleep as the nurse walked through the curtain.

"Done for the day" she announced as she set aside the syringes and materials needed to unhook Sam from the IV and remove the port. Her unfamiliar voice causing the younger brother to stir, his tired eyes looking around before falling on his brother.

"Time to go home bud" Dean said edging closer to the bed, keeping his eyes off what the nurse was doing as she pulled the needle slowly out of Sam's chest. The younger man nodded as the nurse finished up, pulling his shirt back down and helping Sam slowly sit up, bringing his feet to the floor Sam could feel his stomach toss and turn.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom first" he wheezed as he made his way to the back of the room, Dean right behind him, nodding his thanks to the nurse as they walked away.

"I'll just be in the hallway" the older brother called out, wanting to get out of the room, away from the stench of cancer.

Sam nodded as he entered the bathroom locking the door behind him, he held down the urge to vomit, swallowing hard as he felt it rise up into the back of his throat.

"You would feel better if you just let it go" a voice said from behind.

Sam's heart began to race at the familiar voice, "How would you know?" he whispered as he turned around slowly coming face to face with the old woman who stood in the corner of the small room.

"You don't have to be afraid of me Sam" she said taking a step forward, her hand outstretched towards the young Winchester. "I've known you for a long time" she said as she clasped her hand over Sam's shaking arm.

Every alarm went off in his mind as the woman's cold fingers touched his arm, but he couldn't pull himself away, mesmerized by the woman's voice.

"Just relax Sam, let me show you" she soothed as time seemed to stand still and darkness filled the small room.

The young Winchester didn't know what was happening, or if he should or shouldn't be afraid, but he didn't have time to dwell on the thought of fear as images began to bombard him.

Images of his past dreams, the dreams of his death flashing through his mind, not understanding what the woman was trying to tell him, to show him, as the images flashed through quickly, until he saw her. In every dream, at all of the deaths she was there, standing beside Dean, her own tears falling as he took his last breath in every life he had lived. Realization began to dawn on the young man, finally believing that she wasn't there to take him away, but to help him.

"Open your eyes Sam" came the soft voice once more.

He could feel his eyelids fluttering open, quickly squinting at the light of the bathroom as he tried to look at the woman.

"It stops now Sam, you will not be taken again by this disease"

Sam nodded, at a loss for words, but no longer afraid of the woman.

"Go back to your brother" she said as the door opened and Sam walked out. Leaving the woman smiling as she slowly faded away.

Dean stood leaning against the railing of a balcony in the hallway, looking down at the floor below. A heavy sigh from deep within escaping past his chapped lips.

"Wow, that's quite the sigh." A soft voice said from behind. Dean turned to the voice, ready with his usual smart remark, but his voice stopped short as his eyes fell over the young woman that stood behind him. Her long red hair shined in the light with her vibrant blue eyes which he swore he saw sparkle, her tall curvy figure stood with such confidence it left him in awe, but it was her smile that made him stutter over his words.

"Uh… yeah" he smiled back as she stepped up beside him.

"I'm sorry, I don't usually do this. Just don't go thinking I'm some crazy woman who just randomly talks to people for no reason" she laughed, the first time she let slip she was nervous, her face blushing slightly, "You just really looked like you needed to talk to someone."

Dean smiled, he could feel his stomach fluttering as the girl continued to stand beside him. But his smile quickly faded, "Listen…"

"Lisa"

"Lisa, no offence, but I think being alone is probably the best thing for me right now" Dean could feel his stomach go from fluttering to sinking as he finished his sentence and pushed yet another person away. He could see the look of hurt cross her face before she replaced it with a soft smile.

"Well if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always around"

Dean just nodded as she started to walk away, catching one last glance at her as she left he inwardly berated himself for even thinking about going after the red head, "Not while Sammy is sick" He said out-loud silencing his inner voices as he walked back towards the day care door just as Sam was walking out.

Sam was still in shock as he walked out and saw Dean standing there, a big smile on his face.

"Hey Sammy" he said putting an arm around his brother's shoulders.

"Lets get the hell out of here "

Both boys walked in silence, neither one telling the other of the women they had met with, both feeling that it was just better that way.

BOTTOM OUT DAY 17

It had been an uneventful two weeks, both boys back into the swing of some sort of normal routine, just in time for Sam to bottom out once more.

Dean had been ready when he heard Sam toss and turn, having not moved back to his father's room, he wanted to stay close to Sam, just in case, and the younger Winchester hadn't complained at his decision.

"Here you go Sam" he said holding the pain killers and a glass of water in front of him.

"Thanks" came the muttered reply as the younger brother took the pills and lay back down, trying to get comfortable to sleep the pain away.

He felt Dean's cool hand linger on his forehead, and he relished in the cool touch, almost whimpering when it was gone.

He could feel his body trying to drift back to sleep, but his mind always brought him back to the pain.

"Hey Sam?" Dean's voice echoed as Sam felt the cool touch of his brother once more. Opening his eyes slowly bringing his brother into focus.

"That's it Sam" Dean urged, "Just need you up for a bit, just have to check your temperature."

Sam didn't question the reasons behind his brother's need to check his temperature; he just opened his mouth, not having the strength to do anything else. Thankful when he heard the beep of the thermometer, signaling it was finished. "Thanks dad" Sam muttered as he tried to roll over. "Night mom" he continued as Dean looked at the numbers on the thermometer, not surprised at Sam's delirium.

"Okay Sammy, hate to do this to you but I need you to get up" Dean whispered as he started to turn Sam back around, taking the covers off, not surprised that they were wet from sweat.

"D-dean?" Sam replied, his eyes not focusing on anything in particular.

"We need to get you cooled down a bit there little brother" Dean said as he lifted his disoriented brother up out of bed, leading him to the bathroom, struggling to keep his lanky frame up right, wishing their father was there to help.

"W-what?"

"You've got quite the fever going on there Sammy" Dean tried to explain, not sure if it was getting through to his brother, and trying to keep his own panic at bay. He knew fevers were bad news having heard stories of patients dying from even a simple paper cut getting infected.

"No, no bath" Sam tried to struggle, wanting to just go back to his bed, but Dean held firm, his grip slipping every so often as he tried to pour the bath, he was just thankful that Sam had decided to sleep in his boxers that night.

"No choice" Dean said as he lowered his brother into the tepid water, cringing at his brother's whimpers. He hated when Sam was in pain, and hated it even more when he caused some of that pain, but he pushed the guilt away for he needed to bring down Sam's temperature and fast.

Once Sam was settled Dean quickly made his way to the phone, his fingers moving automatically as his mind drifted away, away from the fever that threatened his little brother.

His heart pounding as he heard the nurse's voice over the phone, he started talking immediately, his voice working on automatic as well, not even registering what he was saying. But it must have been the right thing because the last thing he heard before he hung up the phone was "Bring him in immediately".

So he ran to Sam, to get him to the hospital as quickly as he could, breaking every speed limit there was to get to the emergency room, only to be left behind as his brother, his Sammy, was carted off to a private room.

NEXT DAY

The brothers had spent all night in the hospital, Sam in a private room, and Dean in the waiting room. The nurses had told him he could go home, that they would call him, but he refused, he would wait to see his brother.

"Mr. Winchester?"

Dean looked up at the young doctor that had taken Sam in while his doctor, Doctor Lieberman had the night off.

"Please, call me Dean" he said, his voice still smooth and charming, even after a long night.

The doctor just smiled, "Your brother had quite the fever" she began, noticing the worry on the young man's face, "Which isn't uncommon for patients as they bottom, and from what I've read in your brother's file he has been very lucky. This is the first time he has been admitted; most patients are admitted frequently for fevers. But your brother should be fine, we are going to keep him admitted, and continue to administer antibiotics which will bring his fever down and we will wait for his neutrophils to go back up before sending him home, just so we know his white blood cells are coming back to fight off any infection."

Dean could feel the relief wash through him once he knew Sam was going to be okay, "Can I see him?"

"Yes of course, follow me" the doctor said as Dean followed her down the hall, his eyes focused straight ahead, not wanting to look at all the people who were ill, lying in bed, with their families surrounding them. Not wanting to classify his family in with it.

The doctor finally stopped outside a pale pink door, her sympathetic eyes glancing at Dean as she opened the door and gestured him in.

"Thanks" was all he could muster up as he walked in, his eyes adjusting to the dim light as he walked over to his pale brother, taking a seat by his bedside stirring Sam.

"Hey Sam" Dean smiled as Sam became coherent to the world once more.

"You really know how to keep me on my toes little brother."

Sam smiled, glad to have Dean back with him, "Well have to keep you on your toes, you're getting old."

Dean laughed, "Well, well, look at the thanks I get. I swear everybody takes advantage of me, not only of my good looks but also of my kindness, no respect."

The younger man just laughed, wincing slightly as his chest moved.

Instantly concern came over Dean who didn't miss a thing, looking down at his brother's port which was visible under a clear bandage. Wincing at how red and sore the skin looked against Sam's pale complexion.

"They missed a few times" Sam explained as Dean leaned back in his chair, bringing his attention to the small TV and away from Sam's pain, not wanting to think about how many times the nurses stuck a needle into his brother's chest.

"What are you watching?!" Dean exclaimed as he reached for the remote.

"Are you going to call dad?"

The question caught him off guard, as he continued to flip through channels before landing on the food network.

"No" was his simple reply as the brothers sat and watched how to make a cookies and cream brownie cake.
