"Everything okay?" Alex asked Sam.

"Yeah." Sam replied quickly. "Kevin checked in and Dean's getting bored. He wanted me to ask where any good bars are around here."

"There's a few down the block. They have Valentine's Day specials and there's lots of lonely, desperate women." Alex said.

"Sounds like his type." Sam chuckled.

"You should go with him." Alex suggested halfheartedly. "I'm sure there's someone you can sweep of their feet."

"Yeah." Sam didn't know what else to say. "Why don't you come with us? Cas and the kids are gone. You can help me keep Dean out of trouble."

"Sure. Just let me get ready and I'll meet you guys." Alex smiled.

"I'll text you when Dean decides on a bar." Sam promised and left Alex alone. She rummaged through her closet, trying to find something to wear. It wasn't until she was getting ready to leave did she notice the piece of paper lying on the bed.

I wanted to let you know that I love you. I noticed the way you looked at Sam tonight and I know that you still love him. I have enjoyed spending these last few years with you. It occurs to me that each relationship has a time and now is not the time for ours. I have explained everything to the children and they understand. Please be happy and I eagerly await the time that we can be together. -Cas.

Alex couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. She changed her clothes from the jeans and top she had been wearing to a dress that she thought Sam would appreciate. When she stepped outside, she didn't mind that it was a bit chilly and gave a cabbie the address to a big band club the boys had chosen. She had frequented this club with Castiel quite a few times, enjoying the music and dancing. Dean was already dancing with a girl and Sam was talking to a different girl when Alex came in. She looked around for her boys and when she saw Sam by the bar she made her way to him. Halfway there, she caught his eye and Sam smiled broadly. The girl he had been talking to was forgotten as Sam got up and met Alex in the middle of the dance floor.

"You look great." Sam said, taking in her appearance. Alex was glad that she had changed into the green dress when she saw Sam's appreciation. "Do you—do you want to dance?"

"I'd love to." Alex said and took Sam's hand. The night passed but Alex barely felt tired, having spent the night moving around the dance floor. Sam seemed content to have her in his arms again, even if it was for only a few minutes for each dance. Dean had disappeared with a girl when they all left the club and Alex and Sam took a cab back to Alex's apartment.

"Are you hungry, Sam?" Alex kicked off her shoes as she flipped on the light, walking toward the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and looked inside. "We've got some Chinese in here but I'm not sure how old it is. I guess I need to go shopping. We could order something in, if you want."

Sam had joined her in the kitchen and she hadn't realized it until she turned around and was chest to chest with him. The look in his eyes was hungry but Alex had a feeling he wasn't hungry for food. Her gaze went to his lips for a moment before going back to his eyes and she pressed her lips against his. The kiss started innocent and slow but turned ravenous as Alex wrapped her arms around Sam's neck and he pulled her closer. Sam pressed her against the refrigerator and deepened the kiss. When they finally separated, they were panting for breath.

"I'm sorry." Sam said, trying to calm himself. "You're with Cas. I shouldn't have done that."

"Cas left." Alex explained quickly. "He said that I belong with you."

That was all Sam had to hear before he picked up Alex and kissed her again. Alex wrapped her legs around his waist and was vaguely aware of Sam carrying her upstairs and kicking the bedroom door closed behind him. He put Alex down long enough so they could discard their clothes before she pulled him to the bed, eager to feel him pressed against her again. He was happy to oblige and they spent the night in each others arms.

Alex was sore the next morning. She and Sam had made love several times during the night, making up for lost time Sam said. Sam kissed her shoulder and she rolled over with a smile on her face.

"Morning." She said.

"Morning." Sam replied with a smile. He kissed her lips and pulled her close to him. Alex responded by slipping her arm around his neck and deepening the kiss. Sam slid his hand down her body and pulled her leg over his hip, squeezing her thigh lightly. Alex moved so she could kiss his neck and Sam groaned, pulling her roughly on top of him when she bit him.

"Rise and shine everybody!" Dean said loudly as he opened the bedroom door. He quickly shielded his eyes while Alex moved to cover herself. "Geez, Sammy. Can't you put a sock on the door or something?"

"What do you want Dean?" Sam asked, chuckling.

"I think we got a case. Let's go." Dean left.

Alex and Sam dressed quickly and went downstairs. Dean had gone out to get breakfast and tossed each of them a bagel.

"You two all caught up?" Dean asked.

"For now." Alex said, winking at him. "What's this job you guys have?"

"I think we have a line on the demon tablet." Dean tossed them a newspaper. "A strange group of storms appeared out of nowhere last night in Kansas City."

"So?" Sam asked.

"So...it's like the storms that hit when we cracked open the Leviathan tablet. It's worth checking in to." Dean said.

"When are we leaving?" Alex asked.

"I thought you didn't hunt anymore." Dean smirked.

"I can help you guys on this one." Alex said. "I'll just have Bobby and Ellen watch the kids a bit longer. They love having them there."

A/N: Alrighty guys. It looks like Sam/Alex won by a landslide. Thank you to everybody who gave their opinion. I am aware that this chapter is very short but I seem to have had too much Dr. Pepper and discounted Valentine's Day chocolate and can't seem to sit still. I did want to get this chapter to everybody though. I love all of my readers, reviewers, followers, and favoriterers. Feel free to leave a review on your way out my lovelies. xo
