So it's been forever since I've updated anything. I don't trust the network at school. But the good news is that I'm almost on break so updates will be more frequent.

Victoria jumped as a hand covered her mouth in the library. Tyler laughed softly beside her.

"Jumpy?" He asked. She shook her head.

"I've messed with ghosts, werewolves, demons, my brothers and now witches but I never thought I'd be scared to death at school. What if Chase had succeeded? Collin wouldn't have his parents." She said. A spider crawled across the page of her notebook. She screamed. Tyler smashed it with another book.

"Weird." He stated. "Spiders were a specialty of Chase's family."

"Great now we're gonna be haunted by spiders. I do not like spiders." Victoria swore. Tyler looked at her funny.

"Do your brothers know you're scared of spiders?" He asked.

"Why do you think I'm scared of them?" Victoria returned. He shrugged. "They'll be here tomorrow."

"Really?" He asked.

"Really. I think they're gonna stay where Josh is staying." Victoria stated. Tyler groaned and accidentally dropped the book on his foot. He yelled. Two minutes later the couple was kicked out of the library for being loud.

"Hope that wasn't important." Tyler laughed nervously. Victoria smacked him with her notebook.

"Research for my English essay. I need an A in that class to be able to hunt this Christmas break." She stated.

"I thought… Never mind." Tyler stated.

"Thought what? I don't have anywhere in Ipswich to stay for Christmas." Victoria stated. "I'm only staying for Thanksgiving because your mom is letting me."

"You don't think she'd let you stay for Christmas?" Tyler asked, stopping her in her tracks.

"I'm sure she would." Victoria swore.

"Then why don't you think about it?" Tyler snapped. Victoria shrugged.

"I don't know because… We don't really do Christmas. I don't think it'd be right." She stated.

"You don't do Christmas?" He replied.

"Dad was never around. I mean we tried. Dean really tried. Stolen crap. Josh would send a card. Sam did the homemade thing when we were kids. But never anything big." She said, sidestepping him and walking around.

"I'm sure Mom would love to have you for Christmas. I know your brothers would prefer you to finally have a Christmas." Tyler said.

"You don't know that. You don't know my brothers." Victoria stated.

"Why don't you ask them when they get here? All three of them." Tyler requested, stopping her long enough to take her notebook and steal a kiss.

"I don't know. Dean might feel hurt." She returned. Tyler just stared at her. "I'll ask him though."

"Thanks." He said, smiling almost victoriously…

*************************************Winchester***************************************************************************************************

Dean Winchester didn't like waiting on his sister. She was slow and her boyfriend occupied her time most of the time. Sam was leaning over the pool table.

"Dude she'll be here. She always shows up late." He told his older brother. Dean shook his head. Victoria appeared with Josh in tow and Tyler holding her hand. Dean stood up. Josh nodded at the younger man.

"Dean." He said.

"Josh." The other man stated. "Toria." He hugged his little sister. He gave Tyler a once over. "Treating her right, Simms?"

"Any other way to treat her?" Tyler returned.

"Smart ass." Dean mumbled. Victoria nodded over at a table. The five walked over to it. "So how's school?"

"Got an A on that paper." Victoria smirked.

"So you're gonna be able to hunt over Christmas?" Josh's eyes lit up. He and the Winchesters' were working on a case together and he missed his sister.

"I was going to ask you about something. Tyler wants me to stay with them." Victoria stated. Josh saw Dean stiffen. Sam was smiling at the couple.

"I don't see why not." He said.

"You're not in charge of her." Dean snapped. Josh rolled his eyes.

"She's seventeen; she can make her own decisions." He said. Dean shook his head. She was in his custody not Sam or Josh's. He didn't like the idea. There was already something different between the duo. They seemed closer.

"When?" Dean asked. Victoria froze.

"Christmas." Tyler said. Victoria didn't meet her brother's eyes.

"That's not what he's talking about, Ty." She said. Dean stood up and stormed out. Victoria ran after him. Tyler laughed nervously being left with the eldest and youngest of his girlfriend's brothers.

"So you two are cool with her staying for Christmas?" He asked. Josh shrugged.

"Like I said she's seventeen." He stated.

"It'd be good for her to have a real Christmas. Dean's just… well Dean." Sam said. Josh laughed.

"He's like your dad when it came to Tori." He said, looking at Sam and laughing harder. Sam rolled his eyes at the immature older man. Outside wasn't a joking atmosphere. Dean had ACDC blaring in the Impala. Victoria turned the volume down only to have Dean turn it up again.

"How do you wanna do this Dean?" Victoria asked, loud and clear in Dean's head. Dean finally turned the volume down.

"Do what Tori?" He asked.

"You're pissed because I slept with Tyler… my BOYFRIEND." Victoria stated.

"You're too young." Dean swore.

"I was five when I walked in on you. Ten when I walked in on Sammy. And Josh… well I was seven. So what does this tell us?" Victoria asked.

"You're my baby sister." Dean returned.

"And I'm fine. I love Ty and he loves me. Trust me." Victoria swore. Dean shook his head.

"Guess growing up with three brothers doesn't do much for you?" He said.

"Growing up with three brothers made me want to wait. And taught me how to knock a couple of people around… and trust me Tyler needs to be knocked around a little bit. He's got three brothers too and a sister." Victoria said.

"Guess that's true. I don't get those guys anyway." Dean said.

"They grew up together. All share the same power. They're a family. Just like us." Victoria explained. "So about Christmas?"

"Keep your grades up." Dean answered. "And I promise I'll think about it." Victoria flung at him. She hugged her brother.

"Are you killing him or hugging him?" Josh's voice asked. Victoria let go of her brother. Josh walked over to the two. He gave his sister a one armed hug.

"I gotta get. Daley's at Ellen's. Jo's disappeared. Girl's a damned good hunter but Aunt Ellen needs to let her go for once. She's probably fine." He said. Josh glared at Dean before walking off.

"You're involved aren't you?" Victoria stated.

"No… not that I know of… We took her on a hunt with us. I didn't know. I really didn't… Dad was with Jo's father on a hunt. He's the reason Jo doesn't have a dad. Dad apparently wasn't very good at working with others. You know what went on with Josh's dad." Dean stuttered.

"That was an accident though. Dad said it was an accident. Josh even said it was an accident." Victoria stated.

"I know but Ellen apparently doesn't like the idea of Jo hunting with us. Dad never told you… hell he never even told us this… but when Laura died Ellen said it'd be better if you lived with her. She was running the roadhouse and raising Jo. Dad said he was raising us alone and he'd raise you with us." Dean said as Sam and Tyler walked outside. Tyler looked at Dean before even considering kissing Victoria. Dean nodded at the teenager.

"You ever hurt her… I'll fill your ass with lead. You would not be the first guy I've shot because he hurt my sister." He said.

"I won't hurt her Dean." Tyler swore.

"I trust you. And if you knock her up, I'm going to kill you bring you back and kill you again." Dean said. Victoria gulped. "Oh god, you're already pregnant!"

"NO! It's just the sons always seem to have kids within a year and half, two years of each other, three at most. And Collin's a year. We just found out Pogue's going to be a dad in April…" Victoria said.

"I'm going to kill you." Dean said. Tyler was blindsided by a punch. Victoria jumped.

"Dean, you can't hit a minor." She yelled.

"I just did." Dean swore. "Get in the damn car, Toria. You're leaving Ipswich tonight."

"Dean, she's seventeen. Dad told you she had to make her own decisions." Sam defended his sister. The look in Dean's eyes said it all. Sam shut up and Victoria gave Tyler a sympathetic smile as she got into her brother's car. She laid her head on her knees and cried.

"Suck it up." Dean growled out. Sam hadn't said anything. By the time they got back to the motel to get Sam and Dean's stuff, Victoria was staring at the window. The Winchesters grabbed their bags and drove to Spenser.

"Wish Dad was still around." Victoria muttered.

"He would've pulled you out as soon as he got wind…" Dean yelled.

"Go to hell, Dean. Go join Dad in hell. See if he can come back in your place." Victoria snapped. Dean slammed on the brakes.

"Walk." He ordered. Victoria stared at him. "Get out and walk." She didn't budge. Sam finally interfered.

"Just take her back to Spenser, Dean. She can make it on her own. She has been for four years." He said, trying to be the calm one. Victoria wiped her eyes. Dean sped back to the school. He refused to look at his sister. Sam walked her back inside. Victoria opened her door. Sam hugged her.

"He's not going to forgive me." She cried.

"He will. You and Tyler just make it out of high school before we have a little nephew okay? I'll take care of Dean. See you around Christmas." Sam said.

"See ya Sammy." Victoria said. Her brother left. Tyler showed up a few minutes later.

"He didn't make you leave?" He asked.

"Sam… Sam said he'd talk to him." Victoria said sitting on her bed. She kicked one of Collin's toys away from her bed. She jerked Tyler on top of her…

****************************************************Garwin****************************************************************************************************

Charlotte opened her door. Victoria and Tyler were curled against each other. She accidently dropped her books causing Tyler to shoot up and Victoria to scramble to cover herself.

"Baby boy ain't a baby is he?" Charlotte asked, eyeing Tyler who had lost the sheet that was around his waist. He grabbed a little bit of the blankets covering Victoria. "Next time may I recommend a sock or tie on the door?"

"Thought you were with Caleb." Tyler swore.

"Caleb had homework and I just wanted to pick mine up. I'll leave you to yourselves. Use protection." Charlotte smirked.

"Stop hanging out with your brother." Tyler ordered. Charlotte blew them a kiss as she left. "She's one to talk."

"It was one mistake. Give 'em a break." Victoria stated.
