Hey all : ) Hope you enjoyed the first Chapter, here is the more interesting one!

Sammy returns to Alexis

Alexis turned the key in Bobby's door and stepped into the front room. Her late shift was finally beginning to catch up with her, she could physically feel the bags under her eyes, luckily Bobby had some pills that would keep her awake for the next few hours to get some research done. She closed the front door quietly and frowned at the atmosphere, it felt heavy and different.

"Bobby!" she shouted. "Bobby I'm home!" Still no reply, she grabbed a crowbar that was casually propped up against the wall, Bobby used it the other night to break into a house and left it there, he always left things lying around – but he never had time to clean it up, and neither did she.

Slowly she slipped off her small black heels and placed them carefully on the floor. She gripped the crowbar tighter and raised it in the air as she turned the corner to the…well it was sort of the living area, but a messy one covered with books. She moved past the sofa elegantly and reached the kitchen door. She heard a quiet rustling and with quick deep breaths she swished around the corner. "Hands where I can see them!"

Bobby jumped up and hit his head underneath the sink. He stood up quickly and frowned as he looked at Alexis. "What the heck you doing girl?"

Alexis blushed slightly and put the crowbar behind her back, acting as if he hadn't seen it. "I thought, I heard…nothing, sorry Bobby," she sighed and placed the crowbar down on the side. "What were you doing down there?"

Bobby sighed and cleaned his hands with a towel. "Sinks busted, was trying to repair it before you came in here and shoved that bar in my face!"

Alexis let out a soft sigh. "Sorry, been rough at work, I'll start dinner,"

"How is that going?" Bobby asked and leaned against the counter as he watched Alexis grab some eggs from the fridge.

"It's going fine Bobby, thanks," she said and hid her face as she prepared the omelettes. "It's nothing that needs fussing about!"

Bobby snorted. "I ain't fussing, just…" he paused to contemplate.

"Fussing," Alexis smirked.

She finished making omelettes and they sat at the table eating and flipping through books. They made it until quite late, they'd been at it for eight hours after Alexis finished work, and it was now two o'clock in the morning. Alexis sighed as Bobby's head bobbed up again as he fell asleep but then realised what he was doing.

"What we looking for again?" Alexis yawned.

"Anything, something to do with preying on married couples, like something that had a bad relationship," Bobby shrugged and closed his book.

Alexis stretched in her seat and looked at their empty plates. "That could be anything," she sighed and placed them in the sink.

"Yeah well we have to cover all options," Bobby grunted and opened another text book.

"I've read that one," Alexis sighed and sat back down.

"Okay, how about we try again in the morning? You got work?" He asked.

Alexis shook her head. "No because I worked twenty four hours yesterday they let me have the next day off, but I might go in anyway," Alexis shrugged.

Bobby sighed heavily and narrowed his eyes at her.

"Fussing," Alexis commented.

"I ain't fussing!" Bobby grunted. "Ever since you've got here, you've been non-stop working and it…it concerns me!"

Alexis looked into Bobby's crystal eyes, they were tired, but she could see the concern which is something her father used to hide well. "Time for bed then? I'll stay and help with some research tomorrow," she smiled.

Bobby knew that meant she wasn't going to work, and he appreciated it, so he nodded and they both made their way up the stairs and into their rooms.

Bobby plonked himself on his bed, and the mattress shifted slightly underneath him. He was worried about Alexis, he didn't want to fuss, but that's all he could do! He had grown to her, he liked her, and she felt like his own. Then there came that anger, the frustration towards John for dumping her with him in the first place, just because Sam left and he didn't think he could handle another frustrated teen. Bobby clenched his fists, then realised what he was doing…fussing, he loosened a bit and let sleep overtake him.

Alexis sighed and changed her clothes, she jumped into her warm mattress, sleep deprivation finally kicked in and she locked her thoughts away.

TWO HOURS LATER

"Dean do you think this is a good idea?" Sam whispered in frustration.

Dean looked behind him and grinned at Sam. "Nope!"

Sam sighed and flung his arms in the air. "Bobby will kill you if you break his lock!"

Dean grinned again. "I know!"

Sam rolled his eyes. "Anyway aren't you forgetting this is BOBBY'S house we're breaking into, not some average family who wouldn't think to put booby traps any place they could think of?"

Dean sighed. "Look anyone who breaks into Bobby's house is a looser, and an idiot!"

Sam frowned. "So then that makes you a looser and an idiot?"

Dean pursed his lips. "No, do you know why?"

Sam shook his head.

"Because I'm not 'anyone'," Dean grinned and finally broke the lock.

They both stumbled in and looked around cautiously as if a flaming arrow were to come straight towards them. But it didn't. When they finally thought it was safe they stepped around the house more casually.

"Why are all the lights out?" Sam frowned and looked around at the papers on the dinning table.

Dean shrugged and began opening some cupboards. "I dunno, maybe they're on a hunt or something?"

"What are you doing?" Sam frowned at Dean.

"Looking for some food I'm starving!" Dean grumbled.

Alexis shot up in her bed and looked out at her dark room. She looked at the clock and cussed under her breath. "Two hours sleep is that it! Seriously?" she grumbled and grabbed her dressing gown and stepped out her room.

She ran down the stairs, her footsteps naturally quiet and made it to the kitchen. A figure was underneath the sink rummaging through it. Alexis sighed and put her hand by the light switch.

"Seriously Bobby, I thought you fixed that thing already?" she said and flicked the light switch on.

Dean stood up quickly and blinked at the sudden light change.

Alexis' eyes widened and her heartbeat increased. "Dean!" she smiled her eyes lit up, Dean saw it and smiled too.

"Hey Alexis," he said in a husky voice.

Next thing Dean knew Alexis ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Gosh I've missed you!" she then let go of him and playfully slapped him.

"Excuse me?" Dean frowned and snuck a glance at Sammy.

"When was the last time you visited?" Alexis glared at him, a smile still on her face.

"Oh, about a month? Look I'm sorry I've been busy!" he urged.

"That's fine! I just wish I could be out there with you!" she sighed and looked to the floor.

Dean hesitated, he was surprised she hadn't noticed Sam yet. He looked at Sam and struggled to find words. "Alexis…" he swallowed.

"What?" she chuckled.

"Uh…" he bit his lip and looked towards Sammy.

Alexis frowned and followed his line of sight. Sammy stood there, hands in his pockets, and he looked extremely nervous.

"Sammy?" Alexis gasped.

"Yeah," he shifted his position awkwardly.

"What are you doing here?" she said, trying not to spit at him or anything.

Sammy swallowed and straightened his back. "Dean needs us…Dad needs us,"

Alexis' jaw tightened. "Why?" she asked Dean.

"Dad's been missing, it was a hunting trip, he's been gone a few weeks," Dean said and kept his eyes locked on hers.

"How long?" Alexis asked in code, she tried to contain her anger.

Dean shifted. "How long for what?"

"How long you been dragging Sammy's ass with you?" Alexis kept stern.

Dean just continued to stare into her green marble eyes. "A week,"

Alexis jolted, as if she had just been punched in the stomach. "Take some food, whatever you need, then leave," she said calmly.

"Alexis please!" Sammy urged but he couldn't stop her as she walked up the stairs.

Dean stared at the space she was stood in, he was shocked, he thought she would be happy with Sammy back. The pair used to be as tight as a knotted rope! But no, she just walked away, without a chance for him to see the emotion in her eyes as she spoke to Sammy. It made it harder to understand her – and Dean hated that.

"Dean, maybe we should…" Sam said quietly.

"No!" Dean hissed. "No, we're not leaving until Alexis comes with us, I'm not abandoning her for the second time!" he marched towards the couch and sat down on it.

Sam took a deep breath and tried to contain his emotion. He wanted to say something, anything, but he couldn't. Seeing his family hurt like this, because of a decision he made, could have ripped him apart if he didn't think he could fix it.

Alexis tried hard not to storm up the stairs, Bobby came out of his room, the light highlighting every wrinkle on his face. Alexis brushed past him but he grabbed her arm.

"Alexis? What's wrong?" he frowned.

"Downstairs is what's wrong!" she grunted and managed to pull Bobby's hand off to storm into her room.

Bobby frowned and quickly got dressed. He casually walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Bobby," Sam said his voice shook.

Bobby, at the sound of his name, turned around startled. "Sammy?" he frowned. "Boy, how did you-"

"Hey Bobby," Dean nodded as he leant against the wall.

Alexis sat down at her dressing table, and looked around the dim room. It was tidy, the only tidy room in the house, and she wanted to go back into her bed to make the use of her free time. But how could she sleep knowing her wish came true?

She did want to see Sammy again, it was the one important thing on her bucket list, she wanted to see him at the same time as Dean. It physically hurt her, like a hole started to open up in her chest when Dean said 'one week', they had been hunting one week without her!

She took a big sigh and shook her head. Maybe she was just being selfish, from Dean's eyes Sammy could have been closer to him at the time than she was and it would have saved petrol, but from her point of view they had never been fussed on that stuff before. Then a wave of guilt hit her, maybe it wasn't Sammy's decision to go with Dean, maybe he got pushed into it like he used to.

With another deep sigh Alexis stood up and got dressed, she fixed her hair and made her way down the stairs. The Winchester's were never big on apologies, but Alexis was the exception.

"A case? In Sioux falls? Seriously?" she heard Dean say in astonishment.

Bobby let out a sigh. "Yeah, I don't know what it is yet! We've been up half the night!"

"Oh, did Alexis not have a shift at the hospital?" she heard Dean reply, and mentally pictured a frown.

"Yep, twenty four hours," Bobby responded, then they fell quiet. Alexis didn't bother waiting to hear their concerns over her. She simply went in the opposite direction into the once dining room.

"Oh crap!" she blurted once she looked up to see Sam pulling his top off.

Sam chuckled and replaced it with another top. "Thanks,"

"Well maybe you should change in a bathroom or something, you know? Like normal people!" Alexis retorted and sat down on the couch.

Sam chuckled again. "Yeah, since when do we ever act like normal people?"

Alexis gave a light laugh which soon disappeared. "So you and Dean…a week?"

Sam looked down at his feet. "Yeah, listen we should have-"

Alexis cut him off. "Why? Did Dean push you into it?"

Sam frowned and sat down on the floor. "Listen Alexis…you're my big sister and I love you, but you have to understand if things went differently I wouldn't be here, I'd still be living at Stanford." Sam swallowed, pictures of his burning girlfriend swarmed his head and he tried to push them back.

"So…what happened?" Alexis asked confused as to why Sam had a slight glazed expression.

"My…girlfriend died, same thing that killed mom," Sam announced quietly.

Alexis' eyes widened. "O…Sam…I,"

"Don't okay, we should have called you earlier," Sam sighed and tried to push back his emotions.

"Yeah you should! But I shouldn't have reacted the way I did when I saw you," Alexis sighed not even bothering to hide the guilt on her face.

Sam nodded half smiling. "Call it even?"

Alexis smirked. "Sure twerp!"

There was a brief moment in silence as they both examined each other.

"You got big," Alexis commented. "Real big!"

Sam smirked. "Yeah well you got…nothing, you always were a skinny ass!"

"Hey I don't like having junk in my trunk!" Alexis smirked.

Sam laughed, a delightful laugh, the kind he used to make when he was little – it put a smile on Alexis' face.

"So what have you been doing here?" Sam asked and looked around at the array of books.

"Working at the local hospital," she shrugged.

"Huh," Sam shrugged.

Alexis frowned. "What the heck is huh supposed to mean?" she chuckled.

"Go figures that's all," Sam shrugged.

"Again…what?" Alexis frowned really not getting the point.

"Come on, you were always the one patching everyone up on a hunt, whether it was us or not…it just makes sense that's all," Sam shrugged.

They both looked up at the interruption of footsteps coming towards them. Dean stood in the doorway, Bobby behind him, they both looked in-between Sam and Alexis, eyes raised.

"Well isn't this cosy!" Dean commented.

Sam rolled his eyes. "We good to go?"

"Actually…" Bobby started and looked to Dean to finish.

"We've got a case," Dean sighed.

Sammy laughed. "In Sioux Falls?"

Bobby snorted. "What Sioux falls ain't good enough for a case now?"

"Yeah well whether it is or isn't we got a case, similar thing to earlier," Dean warned Sam in code, Alexis contained her anger at the fact they even had a code.

"Care to share?" She said through clenched teeth.

"Me and Sam just came back from a hunt, close to here…actually just about an hour away," Dean announced. "It was a married couple, the woman was possessed and stabbed her husband in the arm, we tried exorcising her but it didn't work," Dean announced and Sam looked down.

"So then what was it?" Alexis frowned.

"We thought it was Wicca," Sam announced.

"And…? You ganked the bitch right?" Alexis asked intrigued in this story, she missed the days when they would all sit and make up stories about a hunt.

"We thought we did…maybe she has friends in this area," Sam shrugged.

A thought came across Alexis mind and she twigged. "Wait! This married couple what were there last name?" she urged.

"Uh…" Dean hesitated.

"Mr and Mrs Brenham," Sam answered for him. "Tipped the ambulance crew and they were off, we cleared their house of any hex bags, scrubbed off the symbols, all after the paramedics went."

"And did you look into their history? The relationship with the Wicca?" Alexis asked, thoughts processing in her head at light speed.

They both shook their heads.

"Okay and why does this affect Sioux falls?" Alexis asked quickly.

"The young couple that live eight houses away, you remember them?" Bobby asked.

Alexis shrugged. "Yeah sure,"

"Dead," Bobby replied.

Alexis looked down, and tried to contain her grief, she didn't know the couple very well but they were still lives, and someone took the gift of life away from them. "Alright, Mr and Mrs Brenham are patients of mine down at the hospital, I'll ring in a couple of hours to check up on them. He'll be in recovery," Alexis thought out loud.

"Alright, we can ask them some questions, they know what we did for them so they won't argue," Dean shrugged.

Alexis chuckled. "Wow, our first case together in how many years?"
