Chapter 9
Once it was morning, the girls decided to go shopping. Summer got Dean's car keys, she whistled to Alison for her to leave. The girls got in the car and soon drove away.
--------------
"I absolutely love this outfit!" Alison said holding up a light tan shirt that had a random design on the front, with a pair of jeans that go with it.
"Oh, that is nice," Summer agreed. "Too bad I can't wear things like that. I mean, I could possibly, but I would probably have a hard time getting it on with my growing belly."
"You could always wear just the shirt. There's no rule in wearing the whole outfit," Alison said while she continued to look through the rack after placing the outfit over her shoulder.
"Yeah. You're gonna buy that?"
"You bet!"
The girls continued to look at the outfits before heading to the section for clothes that were more suited for Summer.
"Awe, this one is so adorable!" Alison held up a white shirt that had flowers on the front, with a bit of lace on the ends of the sleeves.
Summer glanced over at Alison. "No way. That's too girly for my liking." She grabbed a shirt off a rack and showed it to Alison.
"I guess camo shirts is more your thing," Alison said. "Cool."
"I've always liked shirts like this. I like girly stuff, too, but not as much," Summer told her.
"I know what you mean," Alison said before stepping to the other side of a rack.
They continued to shop before deciding to get something to eat, they went to McDonalds. After ordering their food and drinks, they found a table by a wall.
"So, you, Dean and Sam do this time of stuff all the time?" Alison asked, taking a sip of her Pepsi.
Summer nodded grabbing a French frie out of the little box, taking a bite out of it.
"How did you meet them, and how did you start doing it, also?"
"Well, while at a diner here, Dean comes up to me to, well, to hit on me. I shoo him off. I felt bad for how rude I was, so I went outside and walked to their car to apologize. Dean asked if I needed a ride, which I did, and I got in and they drove me home. When we…" she cleared her throat already having trouble talking about it. "We got there and the house was on fire, starting in my mother's room. Dean and Sam didn't leave right away for some reason, they came to the rescue and… Dean grabbed me before Sam started to push us out of the room. By that time, the whole bedroom started to catch on fire…"
"I'm sorry," Alison spoke softly. "That's terrible. To lose a parent, it's hard. My dad died when I was really young. He was a carpenter. He was working on a hotel and a beam fell, the rope or whatever they used, snapped. The beam fell right on him, killing him instantly. My mom was heart broken, same with me, but we continued on with life once we were able to move on. It was hard, but we managed."
"Yeah, it is hard," Summer agreed. "You just… have to go on no matter what."
"Yeah. And you think… they wouldn't want you to mope around the whole time. They would want you to move on live life. Not sit at home, on the couch, eating ice cream, isolating yourself from the world."
Summer nodded, taking a sip from her Dr. Pepper.
"Anyway…" Alison began, not wanting to continue with that subject anymore. "You and Dean… how did you two become a couple?"
Summer laughed a little. "Well, we were in the motel room, Sam left. He and I were alone for a short while, and we started talking about my PJ's, that had dogs on it. I say like, he must like girls with camo shirts and leather black boots, and he said not all girls and that I don't wear that kind of stuff, and he goes for me," she chuckled. "The silence that took over was so awkward, we didn't know what to say. After a couple of minutes of that, Dean says 'aw f it' and kisses me."
"How romantic," Alison laughed.
Summer laughed. "That's Dean for ya," she shook her head. "I can honestly say I am not surprised Dean said and did that. It's just like him."
"From what I know about him already, yeah, it doesn't surprise me either."
"We got together, and that lasted for a while before…" she sighed. "Before we got arrested for a job I was supposed to do…"
"What kind of job?" Alison wondered.
"I was a cop."
"You're a cop?" she asked surprised, her eyes wide.
"Was a cop," Summer told her. "I gave it up after I, well, let Sam and Dean out."
"You let them out, seriously?"
"Seriously."
"How did they take that news?"
"Not too well. They basically hated me. Not only for being a cop, but for keeping it from them for three months."
"So, the relationship ended, right?" Alison asked. "Actually, that was a dumb question to ask. Of course it ended."
"Yeah. After they left, the relationship was over. I hadn't talked or seen them for four months until we saw each other at a cemetery taking care of a spirit."
"So Dean never knew you were pregnant?"
"Nope. I didn't have anyway to contact him. He had changed his cell phone number. Sam did the same thing, so I had no way of getting a hold of either of them."
"What made you join them again?"
"The baby. I think, if I never got pregnant, I wouldn't be with them again."
"Did they forgive you for what happened?"
"For the cop thing? Not at first," she told her. "Dean… he didn't forgive me for a while. Sam, he was a little easier to handle. Dean, though, it was like pulling teeth with him. Every time either of us would bring it up, he would get an attitude."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It got a bit annoying, to tell the truth. We worked it out, though."
"I see that."
They chatted for a while longer while they finished their food and then decided to do a little more shopping before going back to the motel.
Summer placed her hand to the side of her head, shutting her eyes, while she leaned up against a counter that was behind her.
"Hey, are you ok?" Alison asked, walking over to her, worry plastered on her face.
Summer opened her eyes and met Alison's gaze. "Uh, yeah. I'm just a little light headed."
"Maybe we should go. Get you back to the motel so you can rest."
"I don't want to make our day come to an end already because of me."
"We'll have another day to shop. You need your rest. Come on," Alison grabbed a hold of Summer's arm, guiding her to the front of the store.
--------------
"You're back so soon?" Dean asked as the girls stepped into the motel room.
Alison shut the door behind her and set the two small bags on the floor by the table. "Yeah."
"Why?" Sam wondered.
"I wanted to bring Summer back," Alison told him.
"I'm fine. I didn't need to come back, you know," Summer spoke up.
"Why did you want to bring her back? Is everything ok?" Dean asked, concern showing through his voice and visible on his face.
"I'm—"
"She got light headed in the store and I might add looked like she was ready to pass out," Alison said interrupting Summer from stating otherwise.
"Light headed? Pass out?" Dean repeated, now looking at Summer. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, really. It was most likely dehydration," Summer told him. "I feel fine now. No need to worry."
"Well, I do worry when my girl…" Dean trailed off when he realized what he was about to say. "Uh…"
"Go ahead, Dean. Say girlfriend. I mean, it's obvious you both have feelings for each other. So it won't be weird to say she's your girlfriend," Sam spoke up sitting at the table by his laptop.
"Well, Sam, it would be weird when she and I haven't even discussed getting back together," Dean said looking at him.
"Well, just say it Dean. I mean you were going to anyway," Sam said.
"Do you mind giving me and Dean a moment alone, please?" Summer asked Sam and Alison.
"Sure," Sam said standing up.
Sam and Alison walked out of the room, and Summer turned to face Dean again after facing the door. "He's got a point, ya know."
"He does?"
Summer nodded as she took a seat on the edge of the bed. "He does. You were going to say girlfriend. You might as well say it because… well, wouldn't we be a couple again sooner or later?"
He stepped toward her and sat down on the same bed. "Yeah, I guess we would."
"But is that what you want to do? I mean, I don't want to get in a relationship again if you don't."
Dean turned more to face her and grabbed her hand in his own. "I do. I have for a while now. Summer, ever since you came back into my life, I have wanted nothing but to get back with you. I have wanted to kiss you for so long, and I'm glad you kissed me last night… if you never did, I probably would have done it first eventually."
"Yeah, most likely you would have," she chuckled.
"I just didn't want to do something that might've made things awkward between us. I wanted to wait and see if there were any signs you felt the same way as me."
"Of course I do."
Dean smiled. "Good."
Summer stood up a moment later and walked to the window and looked out. She turned around when she heard music, and she saw Dean standing by the laptop, his finger still upon the mouse.
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go…
"Sounds like us, huh?" Dean asked, looking at her. "We needed time from each other. Though, it wasn't our choice. It happened like that even if we didn't want it to."
"Yeah…" she nodded.
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for a day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that I love
Hold me now
It is hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you
I'm sorry
I could never let you go…
I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the heavens open up every time she smiles
And when I come to her that is where I belong
And I'm running through her like a river's song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love…
Dean chuckled. "I guess Sammy decided to keep this on his computer…"
"Who downloaded it?"
Dean licked his lips and began rubbing his neck. "I did…"
Summer rose her eyebrow at him. "Really, now?"
"Yeah… I was downloading random songs, and this was one of 'em…"
She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And I'm coming to her when the sun goes down
Take away my troubles, take away my grief
Take away my heartaches in the night like a thief…
"So many chick-flick moments with you lately," Summer smirked.
"Don't tell Sam 'bout it."
"I wouldn't, I know how he would tease you."
"And he totally would."
"Totally."
After a moment of silence, Summer headed to the bed and lied down. She looked at Dean and saw he was heading toward her. He lied down beside her. He lifted her up slightly, pulling her to him so she was leaning against him, his arm wrapped around her.
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
And I need her in the daytime ( I need her)
And I need her in the night ( I need her)
And I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss and hug her, kiss and hug her tight
When I'm returning from so far away
Gives me some sweet loving, brightens up my day
And it makes me righteous and it makes me whole
And it makes me mellow right down to my soul
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love…
The music continued to play softly while they laid there.
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing…
Dean moved his other arm over her and placed his hand on her stomach. "I can't wait to see my daughter…"
"Neither can I."
"I'm sorry…"
She turned her head a bit to see his face. "Sorry about what?"
"For not being there for you for the first four months. I would have been there for you. Taken care of you, and make sure you and our baby were safe."
"We were safe. I know I was actually being kind of stupid. Ya know, hunting while pregnant "
"Which reminds me… why would you even do that while pregnant? You could have lost the baby by doing that. If I had been there from the beginning, no way in hell would I have allowed you to hunt, Summer, you could have lost the baby, and instead of telling we're having a baby, you would have had to tell me you lost it. You're not hunting anymore. I won't let you."
"I figured once I told you, you would say that."
"Damn right I would. I don't want you or the baby in danger."
"I won't hunt anymore."
"Good."
I can't get by if were not together
Ooh can't you see
Girl, I want you now and forever
Close to me
I'm longing for the time
I'm longing for the day
Hoping that you will promise to be mine
And never go away
I don't want to live without you
I don't want to live without you
I could never live without you
Live without your love…
"Dean?"
"Yeah?"
"Does this, right now with us, mean we're together?"
"Only if you want it to mean that."
"I do want it to mean that."
"Then, we're together…"
