Voices in My Head
Chapter 10: Missouri, the Psycho-atrist
Note: I've got Tae Kwon Doe in a bit, so it's not too too long, but I wanted to update. Don't forget to review and compliment/criticize me! I always appreciate it!
This chapter is just sorta a 'How's Dean feeling?' type'a chapter.

Dean was pretty unsure himself how he managed to get away from Sam and avoid his question. After he managed to block the demon out he all sort of blurred together. John came home and asked Mary what had happened when he saw the look on everyone's face. Sam had barked at John 'If you'd have been here and not hiding then you'd know!' and, of course, John countered with 'Are you calling me a coward?' and thus, the screaming match began.
Now, Dean sat on the front step, blocking out the screaming while Mary played referee. "This family is freakin' bug nuts." He muttered quietly to himself
"You got that right." Dean would have jumped, if he hadn't already sensed Missouri was near by. "But, then again, isn't that what makes life interesting?"
"What, having your memory wiped by a demon bent on killing your family, being missing for two years, coming back, remembering, getting a freaking power and having the only people you have fly into a rage because of you? Yea…life is really interesting."
"Like I've said before, at least it never gets boring with you Winchesters." She said with a smile, as she plopped down next to Dean on the steps. She paused and looked at Dean, really looked at him, analyzing him "How are you feeling, Dean?"
"Oh, what are you? A Psychiatrist?" Dean paused and grinned as he thought 'More like psycho-atrist.' To which Missouri playfully cuffed him on the back of the head. Dean laughed and smiled at the woman. It faded slightly, but didn't lose it's sincerity, when he said "Did…did I ever really…thank you for…ya' know?"
Missouri gave Dean a motherly smile and patted his knee "You're welcome. You know I'm more than happy to help you Winchesters out." Dean nodded and looked down; she titled her head slightly, trying to keep Dean's face in full few "You have to tell them, you know that."
Dean sighed and nodded "Yea I know…but how do you know what he said?" He paused "Right, stupid question to ask a psychic."
She smiled again, and gave his knee a reassuring squeeze "You have to tell them, now." Dean nodded again, not getting up "You're afraid John's gonna blow up at you again." It wasn't a question.
Dean didn't look up, but Missouri could sense he was trying not to get too emotional "I…They deserve to get what they want. Mom, Dad, Sam. All of them. Mom and dad should be taking a million vacations, like normal couples do when they get rid of their kids." Dean smiled slightly at the thought "Sam shouldn't be having those stupid visions, he should be in college, like I know he's wanted to-"
"But what about you?"
"What?" he looked up at her, with a look in his eye as if he'd almost forgotten she was there.
"What about what you want? What do you want, Dean?"
"For them to be happy." He said, sincerely.
She nodded "I know it doesn't seem like it, but now that you're back, Dean, they are happy. And once you get that demonic sonofabitch, like a know you will, you'll all be able to go on a million vacations, or go to college-"
Dean shook his head "But it's never going to be over." He whispered
Missouri placed her hands over Dean's and shook her head "Yes it will." She said quietly, looking him right in the eye "Now go. They need to know." Dean nodded, but still didn't get up. Missouri smiled "I'll be right there with you, if John tries to bitch, I'll woop his ass." Dean let out a laugh and nodded at Missouri, actually standing now.
"Missouri?" He asked as he helped her stand
"Yes, honey?"
"Thanks. Not just for letting me vent just now. But more…more for taking me in." He said in an awkward voice. Missouri smiled as she heard his thought 'I'm not usually this emotional…'
"Dean, I already told you, I'm more than happy to-"
"But I'll never be able to thank you enough for it." He said sincerely. She nodded, smiling, and lead him inside.

Yes, yes, I know. This wasn't crucial to the story, but I wanted to put it in. You know Dean's never really gonna truly confess how he feels to Sam, so it had to be to Missouri! Please review. I gotta go now though, TKD awaits!
