The Winchesters, The Psychic, and The Fixation
I do not own anything you recognize…
The titles have been finalized.
Gifts and Curses will be the OneShot story and How to Save a Winchester will be the final part. Thanks for voting!
Also, the Will being an angel thing. I liked your takes on it. Personally, mine was that Will was sent to make sure Dean and Jess got together. (E.g. Dean getting jealous and making a move)
Enjoy!
Chapter Eighteen
o.0.o Jessica POV o.0.o
"Dean," I whined. "I have to go to work today!"
We had just put Chris on the bus ten minutes ago. And I was just walking out the door when Dean attempted to stop me by pampering my neck with kisses.
"One more day," he said, returning to his endeavors.
I laughed. "One more day and I might be fired."
He pulled away from me. "Point taken." He shot me a grin. "But what am I supposed to do while you're gone?"
I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "Oh, I don't know… why don't you go find a real estate agent? We're going to need a bigger house anyway."
He thought about this for a second. "No, that's okay. I'll stay here."
"Why not," I asked.
He shrugged. "No reason."
"Yeah, okay, Dean," I told him as I quickly read his mind. This was so cute! "You want to pay for the house?"
"Damn it," he cursed. "It's not fair game when you read my mind!"
"You want to buy the house, Dean," I asked. He shrugged. "Okay," I smiled. He was so cute when he tried to cover something up. "We'll talk about it when I get off from work, okay?"
He nodded.
I think I was beginning to get a taste of normal.
o.0.o Alex POV o.0.o
The kids were at school – finally. I mean, I loved my kids, but who really wants four kids running around your house 24/7. God bless Mrs. Brady.
Sam had left too, leaving me alone.
Time to clean and run my errands. Fun. I almost wished that the kids were back.
So I started with the living room and dining room and all the other first-floor rooms. Then I'd head to the basement and then to the bedrooms and study. Then I'd run my errands.
I cranked up my music so it could be heard through the house and set to work.
Then came the phone call.
"Hello," I asked, balancing the phone between my ear and shoulder as I dusted above the living room fireplace.
"Alex, it's Bobby," Bobby said. He sounded a little panicked.
"Hey, Bobby. How's everything?" I threw my duster back into the basket with the rest of my supplies before plopping down on the couch.
"Alright. Listen, I have a hunt for Sam and Dean. It's a big one though."
I bit my lip. Sam and I decided to stop hunting. "We don't really…"
"Alex, I need your help. There's this kid… and he…" Bobby sighed. "The Williams. They have this curse on their family. It basically kills them all as it sees fit." I nodded. "Rob Williams was a hunter. Married Katrina like twenty-years ago. They had this kid, Emmett. He's got powers, Alex. Rob's been working on a way to break the curse, but he… he… died last week with his wife."
"The curse," I asked, intrigued.
"Yeah. The kid has no relatives; he's nine and knows all about the hunting and curse. So when his parents died, he came here. Alex, I've got no freakin' clue on how to raise a kid." He sighed. "I want… I need you and Sam to take the kid in. And I need the boys to do the hunt."
"What about John?"
"I can't get a hold of 'em."
I thought about it for a second. "Bring him here. We'll take him."
"Thanks, Alex."
"I'm not sure about the hunt though. I've got to talk to the boys."
"Good enough," Bobby said, relieved. "We'll be there tomorrow."
As I hung up the phone, I cursed myself for doing this. I might have just thrown our family back into hunting.
o.0.o Dean POV o.0.o
Jess came home early so we could figure some stuff out about buying a new house.
But we kind of got sidetracked… against the wall then on the kitchen counter.
I mean, hey! I had missed out on this for like… ever. Give me a break. And she did too, even though she had that stinking, couldn't-offer-her-as-much-as-I-can boyfriend, Will. (Not that I thought she thought that way. But I did.)
"I missed you, too," she laughed in between kisses. She pushed me away and hopped off the kitchen counter. "But we have things to talk about."
I snaked my arm around her waist. "I have a way to talk about them."
"I'm sure you do, Dean." She gave me another kiss. "But come on. Let's get serious."
I groaned before giving her a cocky grin. "I have a way to get serious."
"No," she said, shaking her head at me and leaning against the opposite side of the kitchen counter. "Now, what's this about you wanting to buy the house?"
I shrugged. "Just want to."
"Any reason? Something about being a manly man?"
I narrowed my eyes. "It's something I want to do for you guys."
"I'll tell you what, Dean," she said with a smile. "If you can figure out a way to get the money, you can buy it."
"Sounds good. Now, about that 'getting serious'…"
"No," she replied with a smile, coming around to me. "But I've got to tell you Dean. I think you need to get checked out by the doctor."
"What?! Why," I asked. I was so not heading to some freak so they could tell me I was perfectly fine.
"First, I'm a doctor. So watch what you think," she said with a smirk. "Second, there is something wrong with you. And I don't mean mentally."
"Low blow," I said, holding my stomach as if she had hit me.
"You have a doctor's appointment tomorrow," she replied, walking out of the room.
Damn her.
o.0.o Sam POV o.0.o
As soon as I got home, I knew something was up.
Alex had dinner made up and the kids were in their rooms. That normally meant something big was going down.
"How was work," Alex asked after 'hello kisses' in the kitchen. She was making some mashed potatoes.
I shrugged. "Work."
"Did Eddie Smith's wife have the baby yet?"
I sat down at the kitchen table after getting myself a glass of water. "Not yet. They're expecting twins, you know?"
"Really," she asked. "I have to send out that congratulations card when they're born."
I nodded. "So what don't you want to tell me?"
"I'm not good at covering things up, huh," she asked, a little startled that I knew.
I shook my head. "Nope."
She sighed, cleaned off her hands, and sat across from me. "We're going to have another child."
I gave her a funny look before getting a little – okay, a lot – lightheaded. "I think I'm going to pass out."
"No, no! Sam," she said, panicked. "I'm not pregnant!"
The lightheadedness disappeared for the most part. "Then-"
"Bobby called. He knows these people who have a curse on the family. The father, Rob, was a hunter. He married Katrina and they had a kid, Emmett. Rob and Katrina died from the curse. Bobby said he needs you and Dean to break the curse."
"But you can't break curses-"
"I know," she continued. "But he needs you to. And Emmett's nine. He's got powers and no relatives… Sam, he needs a home."
I thought about it for a second. We had enough space. And we definitely had enough money. We loved kids and could offer Emmett siblings and a place to let his powers thrive… "Okay," I agreed. "When does he come?"
Next chapter is the last! Then onto the fourth part, along with the OneShot story!
