Bella sat on one of the chairs holding Aiden in her lap as he slept with his head on her shoulder. Dean was pacing back and forth in front of Sam's bed, in the hospital, while Bobby stood a few feet from it staring at Sam.
"Damn it Sam," muttered Dean as he bit his thumb nail and ran a hand through his hair.
Bobby looked up at him noticing the panic in his eyes and looked back at Bella who was slowly falling asleep but when her head would hit the top of Aiden's she'll wake up and adjust. Bobby walked up to Dean and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Look, Dean there's nothing we can do right now. Why don't we head back to my place?"
"No," Dean shook his head and placed two hands on the footboard at the end of Sam's bed staring at Sam, "What if he wakes up and no one is around? Whatever did this to him could still be out there looking for him."
Bobby understood and took a deep breath, "Alright…then I'm going to take those two back. Look at them, they're exhausted."
Dean glanced over and saw Bella with her eyes closed and her head on top of Aiden's. His eyes softened at the sight. He looked back at Bobby and nodded, "Alright."
The two walked over to Bella and she opened her eyes, "What's up?" She tried to look awake and Dean gave her a soft smile as he picked Aiden up off of her.
"Bobby's gonna take you two back ho-" He was cut off when Aiden held onto Dean tightly and snuggled his head into his chest. He looked down at his son and kissed his forehead as he ran a hand up his back.
Bella smiled at the sight. The two looked into each other's eyes. Dean just had a soft hearted moment with his son.
"Uh, Bobby could you take him," said Dean, "I want to talk to Bella."
Bobby nodded as he took Aiden from Dean and walked over to Sam.
Dean turned to Bella and took her hands in his, "I'm gonna be here until Sam wakes up so…"
"So, stay with Bobby and don't leave the house for anything. If I feel like something is wrong tell Bobby, go to the panic room and then call you."
Dean smirked, "I just want you to be safe. Whatever did this to Sam could have been the same things that were after you and Aiden."
She nodded as she tightened her grip on his hands, "Ok, just wish you were coming back. What should I tell Aiden?"
"Tell him Uncle Sammy's sick and I'm staying here to make sure he gets better."
Bella's lips made a thin line and nodded again, "Ok. Call us when he wakes up."
He nodded and she squeezed his hands before walking around him to Bobby. Dean watched her take Aiden in her arms and she looked up at him. He gave her a smile and the two walked out the door. Dean frowned turning back to Sam, "I shouldn't have left you." He stared at Sam hearing the machines beeping.
Sam found himself walking through a playground. It was empty. The streets around it were empty and the neighborhood just felt completely empty. He was alone. He looked around scared, unsure but with his guard up. The last thing he remembered was demons. Lots and lots of demons, taken turns slicing him up trying to get answers on where Aiden was. But he never broke. He would never tell. That's how much family meant to him.
Sam continued down the sidewalk when he heard a screeching sound going back and forth. He looked to his left and saw Aiden on a swing.
"Aiden?" he asked carefully walking up to the young boy.
"Uncle Sam," Aiden smiled, "Can you push me?"
Sam nodded as he walked behind the swing and began to push Aiden.
"Uh, where are we?"
"In your head."
"What's going on?"
"I brought you back to Bobby's."
"How?"
"I don't know." Aiden smiled looking up at his uncle then looking back forward, "Mommy's scared of the power. She thinks I don't know but I do but I promise to be good with it. I won't let anything hurt my family."
Sam smirked, "You sound like your dad you know that?"
Aiden grinned, "Really?"
"Yeah…so how come we're in my head?"
"You're sleeping. You're in a hospital. Dad's scared. He wants you to come back. We all do."
"Dean wanted to be back with you guys. It was both of our decision. We both said things we didn't mean. The things I said to him," Sam licked his lips, "the reason I said those things were so he could go live with you and your mom. He has a chance to be normal."
"What about you? Don't you want kids?"
Sam was quiet, "I use to."
"So…I won't have any cousins?"
Sam smiled, "It's complicated."
"I can find you someone."
Sam laughed, "Why don't we wait until things cool down alright? We don't have time for romancing the stone."
"What's that?"
"A saying your father says…anyway, uh, do you think I can wake up now?"
"You promise to stay with us?"
Sam stopped the swing and walked around to the front and looked at Aiden. "I promise."
Aiden smiled and Sam saw this flash and everything went black.
"Daddy's going to call," said Aiden from the backseat of the Pontiac.
"Of course he is sweetie," said Bella with her head against the window.
"No I mean right now."
Bella and Bobby looked at each other and Bobby's cell phone began to go off. Bella bit her lip as Bobby answered it.
"Yeah…he is?...Great, great…alright I will…they're fine, just tired…Dean get your panties out of a twist they're fine! They're with me aren't they?" Bella laughed and looked over at Aiden who had a smile. "Idjit." Bobby hung up the phone.
"Is Sam ok?"
"Yeah he woke up. He'll be home in the morning."
"Then looks like it's going to be a big breakfast."
SUPERNATURAL
"Hello?" asked Dean opening the door, "Everyone here?"
"In the kitchen!" yelled Bella. Dean smiled knowing she was cooking and helped Sam in.
"Careful."
"Dean…I'm fine! I am capable of walking."
"Just want to make sure you don't fall on your face again." Sam made a face as Dean dropped Sam's bag on the ground and they walked into the kitchen to find Bobby and Aiden sitting at the table eating.
"Uncle Sam!" yelled Aiden getting out of the chair and running up to him.
"Hey Aiden," Sam hugged him and Aiden let go and ran to his father. Dean picked him up and held him.
"You being good to your mom?" he asked walking over to Bella who was finishing breakfast.
"Course." Both father and son grabbed a piece of bacon and Aiden jumped off of his father before getting scolded by his mother.
"Dean…" she said but was quickly cut off with a kiss. He smiled and walked over to the table.
Bella smiled at Sam, "Hey Sammy how you feeling?"
"A little better." He had his hands in his pockets.
"Want some bacon?" She picked the plate up and he smiled taking some.
"Hey!" said Dean, "How come Sam doesn't get scolded?"
"Because he didn't take it without permission."
Dean grinned and winked at her before looking at Sam as Sam took a seat at the table. "Hope you boys brought your appetites home."
"Bell, you know I always do," said Dean getting up and helping her with the plates.
Sam watched as the two interacted with each other. They were getting better with each other. He smiled watching the smile on his big brothers face as Bella told him something. Dean would lean in sometimes to kiss her cheek, being the gentleman he didn't know Dean could be, the father that has been hidden inside him for so long.
"How ya doing kid?" Bobby asked as Bella put his plate in front of him and Sam.
"Thanks," said Sam with a smile and his stomach rumbled at the smell of a home cooked breakfast.
"Better I guess."
"What's the last thing you remember?"
Sam looked at Bella then at Aide, "Maybe we should discuss this after breakfast."
Dean noticed the look on Sam's face and nodded, "Good idea but I will be a few minutes late."
"Why's that?"
"I was hoping for a little something after breakfast." Dean placed his arm around Bella's chair and she froze looking at him and he had a cheeky grin. She made a face at him then pushed his shoulder making him laugh.
"Idjit," said both Bobby and Aiden.
Bella and Dean laughed as Sam smiled at Aiden.
"I'm only half kidding," said Dean as he kissed Bella's cheek.
"Eat your breakfast," said digging into her own plate. She shook her head at her…um…whatever Dean was to her right now.
After breakfast they all placed their plates in the sink, "Alright Aiden get upstairs and get ready for your bath."
"Aw mom!" he whined.
"Don't aw mom me. Come on they need to talk about big boy stuff."
"I am a big boy, I wipe my own ass!"
"Dean!" Bella yelled as Aiden ran up the stairs. Dean smiled at her. "No more Adam Sandler for Aiden!"
"But he loves Big Daddy."
"I don't care if he likes Boys in the Hood! If he goes around saying that he wipes his own ass I'm going to beat yours."
"Oh sounds kinky. Can we leave that for the bedroom?"
"Dean!" She yelled blushing and walking away.
"There is some serious sexual tension going on between you two," said Sam.
Dean smiled, "Yeah I know but…" Before Dean said anything else he shook his head not wanting to talk about his personal feelings with Sam being back. "No time for that so what do you remember?"
"Well I got jumped by a few demons at this motel I stopped at. Knocked me out and woke up strapped to a table." Sam shook his head remembering everything, "They wanted to know where Aiden was but don't worry I didn't give in. They want him real bad Dean."
Dean sighed, "I know…I know."
"Well what we need to do is get Lucifer back in his cage before he is able to grab Aiden right from under you guys."
"He's a strong kid," said Sam, "He…uh…he helped me wake up."
"What?" asked Dean.
"He was in my head. That kid is strong. Real strong…what if…I'm not saying it's a good idea but what if Aiden can bring Lucifer down."
Dean stared at Sam, "You're not suggesting getting my kid and putting him in front of Lucifer himself so the world can be a happier place?"
"No I'm not saying that but maybe he can help a little. If he's able to get into my head, he's able to get into anyone's, even Lucifer's. He can get what he wants. That's how I got here in the first place. If it wasn't for Aiden I would still be strapped to that damn table." Dean got up running a hand through his hair and sighing heavily. "I know it's not the greatest plan."
"You got that right," said Bobby shaking his head and getting himself more coffee.
"Bella is going to have a shit fit if we do this," said Dean. "And I'm not even sure I want to. He is my son Sam. My only son."
"I know," said Sam, "Maybe together me and him can do this. Maybe I can say yes to Lucifer and Aiden will be able to push him out."
"So now you want to say yes?"
"It's not the best plan but it's the one that we got right now!"
Dean bit his lip shaking his head, "I need to think about this one." He walked out of the kitchen and they heard him go upstairs. Losing his brother and his son could be the worst thing that could ever happen to him.
Dean heard Bella and Aiden laughing in the bathroom. He took a peek inside and a small smile spread across his face watching them. Bella was spiking his hair into a Mohawk as Aiden played with his ships. "I'm going to be back in a little while, you play alright," said Bella and stood up jumping as she saw Dean.
"Sorry," he said and Bella smiled.
"It's alright."
He opened the door more for her as she walked out and he followed. "Need any help?"
"No I got everything under control. Thought you'd be downstairs with Sam and Bobby talking ya know about hunting and stuff." She walked into her bedroom.
"Yeah, well we sort of hit a brick wall so I needed to walk away." He scratched the back his neck and followed her. "So I was thinking…" He started and didn't know how to finish.
"Yeah?" she asked bending over and opening a dresser drawer to grab some clothes for herself and Aiden for the day. Dean swallowed hard staring at her ass then quickly looked away.
"Look um," he placed his hands in his pockets, "I'm not good with this whole talking thing."
She smiled standing up, "I know. You're a macho man." She patted his chest walking around him to the bed.
"Well, now that Sam's here he can either sleep on the couch or have that other guest room I'm in but uh, I'm not too fond with sharing my bed with the jolly green giant. I mean I can always sleep on the couch and uh…"
"Dean…are you trying to say that you want to sleep in this room with me and Aiden?" She crossed her arms across her chest.
He chuckled, "Yeah."
She nodded, "We'll just have to figure out the whole sleeping thing with Aiden."
"I kind of figured it out. See Bobby has an old small cot. Real small I use to sleep in it when I was a kid. So we could put it right here," said Dean turning in front of the bed then look at her seeing the smile on her face, "Then we can start cleaning out that small room Bobby has for storage and we can make that Aiden's room."
"Well you have it all planned out don't ya Winchester?" She walked up to him.
"Sort of."
"Well, I like that idea."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, Aiden is a little old to be sleeping with his parents and would like his own room."
Dean nodded with a smile on his face, "Yeah."
"And that way when he gets his own room maybe, we could get to know each other a little bit better." She smiled and kissed his lips.
"God yes."
She laughed patting his chest, "I'm going to go check on him. Bring your stuff in here and get situated ok?"
He nodded watching her walk out and grinned slapping his hands together, "Winchester you still got it."
