Unconditional Love
Part 3
Don't own em but love them.
Jo went through her routine making sure everything was alright with John. His wounds needed to be cleaned and re-bandaged. Jo went and got some warm water, as the bowl was filling she asked Sam were the new bandages were. Sam was at her side in a second, holding the new supplies, she looked up. She wanted to hug him, but they had an audience, later she thought. She knew Sam would make her feel better, he always did.
Sam insisted he carry the water, so Jo followed behind him to his Dad. Sam sat the water down and watched. Jo had already scrubbed her hands and now she put on a set of gloves. She pulled the sheet down and carefully exposed John's chest. It had several large bandages. Jo meticulous set about cleaning each wound one by one with gently strokes. Jo was so adsorbed she didn't even notice Bobby and Dean had come in and were watching. Sam assisted her, she didn't even have to say anything to him, he knew exactly what she wanted and when. Jo gently covered John's chest back up the sheet. She had already checked his fever and it was gone, so she threw her gloves in the trash and reapplied the blanket, tucking it gently around the older hunter. She said mostly to herself "the other bandages don't need to be changed yet." "I'll do that tomorrow."
Sam got up carried out the trash, Dean grabbed the iodine colored water and headed to dump it. Jo noticing Bobby now an said "I'll be back to check on him again in four hours." She set up another bag of saline. Bobby gripped Jo's shoulder and said "get some rest I got him now."
Sam came back and asked Bobby "you think it would be alright if Jo, Dean and myself go down to the fort for awhile?" Bobby gave him a grin, "get gone, and don't come back till the morning." "take your weapons just in case and make sure Dean has he's cell." Jo could see Sam's dimples as he smiled. Looking at Jo he said "we will wait for you in the barn." Jo smiled back, then stopped Sam as he was half way to the kitchen already "here your brother needs his jacket." Sam took it, leaned down and kissed Jo the tip of her nose. Then he was gone.
She turned around looking at Bobby "those boys love you" he remarked. Jo didn't say anything to that but went through everything with Bobby and told him about the soup in case John woke up. Bobby stepped out to go to his car. Jo sat in the chair next to John., watching him sleep. She noticed John's arm hanging off the bed. Jo tenderly lifted it back into place. As she straightened back up in the chair she felt eyes on her. John Winchester was watching her, she smiled at him and managed to say "how to you feel sir?" "do you want me to go get the boys?"
John repositioned himself a little then said "I'm alright considering." and "where are the boys?"
"Out in the barn, they needed some fresh air I think." "We were going to go down to the fort if that's alright, Bobby's here." John smiled at the mention of the fort. "It's fine with me" "thirsty". Jo got up quickly and said "of course." Jo returned with a cool glass of water. She held it while John drank. "Not to much" Jo warned. Then apologized immediately. "I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to tell you what to do." John grinned at her. "It's alright Joanna, I appreciate your help and orders." Jo blushed. He laid back down, looking tired. "My boys how are they."
Jo told him Sam was pretty good. She hesitated before commenting on Dean. John looked at her and said "tell me." Jo felt like a traitor but this was John Winchester she couldn't lie to him. So she told him that Dean had finally ate something today, but he needed rest. John nodded his head as she spoke, he had already known what shape Dean would be in. "Tell my boys that I order both of them to get some rest because if I see they haven't, I'm going to tan their hides." Jo smiled at him. John drifted back to sleep then. Bobby came in then Jo updated him and left.
Meanwhile Sam was grilling Dean about what happened today. Dean didn't want to talk but he knew Sam would keep it up. So he finally told Sam "alright, alright shut up and I'll explain." Sam closed his mouth and listened. Dean looked at him and said "dude I flipped out ok, I'm not for sure why. Dad spoke to Jo like she was Mom and got to me alright." Sam's mouth fell open, but he closed it again.
"Jo, went along with Dad" "it was creepy ok, Dad told her he would love her forever and stuff." Sam stood silent watching his brother. Dean went on and "dammit Sammy we had a pack and you broke it." Sam looked confused now. "I saw you kissing Jo last spring, I should have kicked your ass right then." "How could you do that, she special, she's ours and you took advantage of her."
"You were spying on us?"
"I didn't break the pack, not exactly anyway." Sam watched as Dean starting getting mad.
"Sam, you didn't have a girlfriend, you lied to Jo." "You want her and you thought by tricking her, you could ...."Dean voice trailed off.
Sam lost his temper. "So I'm in love with her, who the hell wouldn't be, she's awesome!" "Oh, what the great Dean Winchester never noticed I take it, your full of it Dean." "You want her to and don't tell me you don't."
Dean started to deny it but Sam stopped him. "That's why you talk to her in your sleep." Dean's eyes turned dark, "What are you talking about Sammy."
Sam had realized he had said to much. To late now. "You dream about her, I know you do and you say her name over and over." "And believe me it's not in a sister like way." Dean looked like he was going to take a swing at Sam.
Sam held up his hands, "Dean, regardless of what I have done, you put your hands on her in anger today." "You need to get a grip, you can't ever do that again." Sam's voice had dropped to a whisper. "I won't let you."
"Sam" Dean's voice took on a dangerous tone, "don't threaten me baby brother." "I'm aware I screwed up and it won't happen again."
Sam looked up to see Jo standing in the doorway. Sam's mind starting racing, how long had she been standing there. He looked at Dean to gauge his reaction and was relieved. He heard Dean say to Jo "ready to get out of here?"
