I apologize for the chapter being short.

Max: So why is it?

Me: Because I couldn't think of anything else to say.

Max: Whatever. I want trouble. *pouts*

Me: Don't worry, Max, you'll have your dose of trouble soon.

Max: Kay. Please review.


Chapter 5

"Lisa?"

"Hello Dean," Lisa smiled giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit with my parents for a little while. My father needed his car looked at so I decided to bring it here and let Ben visit with his grandparents. What about you? The last time I saw you, you saved Ben from those things."

"They're called changelings. Anyway I live here now."

"What about chasing after freaky creatures or whatever it is that you told me you do."

"Well Sam and I still do that, but it's minor. I actually am married now so I don't do that so much anymore."

Lisa looked shocked, "Married? To whom?"

"The name's Cas."

"Cas? Like for Cassie?"

Dean hesitated for a second, "Actually, Castiel. We got married last year. You should come and meet him. He's really a great guy."

"Wait, you said guy. You're gay? Since when? Oh my goodness."

"Will you relax? I mean it's not like we had a thing going, right? It was just a week of one-night stands." Wow, Dean really lame.

"Yeah, right. Well as long as he makes you happy. I'll be back later to pick up my father's car."

Bobby walked out of the house and saw Dean talking to some woman, "Dean, Cas is on the phone. He says it's urgent."

Dean gave Lisa a glance, "Okay, Bobby. Here's my number. If you're in town long enough, I'd like you to come for a visit."

Dean runs toward the house and grabs the phone from Bobby, "Cas, babe, you okay?"

"Yes, Dean. I wanted to ask you if you could pick up some ice cream on your way home. We seem to have run out."

"Sure, Cas. I'll see you at five, okay? Need anything else?"

"No thank you. I miss you, come home soon okay?"

"I will, babe. Love you," Dean hangs up the phone and hands it back to Bobby.


Dean pulls up in front of Sam's job at exactly one o'clock as usual. As usual, Sam is standing outside reading a book waiting for him.

"Hey, if you'd rather read your book than get lunch, go for it."

Sam laughs as he closes the book and enters the car, "So same place?"

Dean nods and pulls away from the curb. Twenty minutes later he pulls into the parking lot of their usual lunch place. The brother's head for their usual table at the back. They don't even need to look at the menu because they always order the same thing. The waitress comes over to them and takes their order.

"Hello boys, the usual? Chicken Cesar Salad and a Coke for Sam; Cheeseburger, Fries and a Coke for Dean?"

Sam and Dean nod and the waitress walks away. Sam notices that Dean hasn't said two words since they've gotten to the restaurant.

"Dean, you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah, I'm good Sammy. Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Who came to the junkyard."

"Who?"

"Lisa."

"Lisa? The girl who you spent a week with while we were in Flagstaff? The same one who we saved her son from the changelings?"

"Yup, same one."

"Wow, wonder what she's doing here. Guess who I saw at the office?"

"Who?" Dean asked just as the waitress came back with their food.

"Sarah."

"Sarah, the girl who helped us with that freaky painting? The one who I said you should marry?"

Sam laughed, "Yup, same one."

"Hmm, that's interesting. Wonder what they're doing here."

"Well according to Sarah, she's visiting her father."

"Yeah and Lisa claims that her and Ben are here visiting her parents. You do realize that if Cas and Gabe realize who these women are we are in deep shit."

Sam takes a sip of soda, "I don't really think so. I mean Cas and Gabe will know that these women were part of our old lives and didn't really hold a meaning in our lives."

Dean scoffed, "Yeah, right. I don't think they'll believe that crap."

Sam and Dean continued eating and talking like they didn't live across the street from each other and saw each other every day. Sam told Dean about how much he hated his job and Dean told Sam about how after the fifth car every day he doesn't want to see another car. Before either brother realized it, it was 2 o'clock and they had to get back to work. Sam paid for the meal and Dean left the waitress a nice tip and then Dean dropped his brother back at the office and headed back to Bobby's.


At five in the afternoon Dean walked through the door wanting to take a shower.

"Cas?"

Dean heard Cas in the upstairs bathroom and ran upstairs. He found Cas doubled over the toilet puking his guts out. Dean soothingly rubbed his back.

"It's okay, baby, I'm here."

Cas looked up at Dean through tear-filled eyes.

"Cas, what's wrong? Here, let's get you cleaned up."

Dean helped Cas to his feet and closing the toilet, sat Cas down on it while he rinsed a washcloth with warm water. He slowly wiped Cas' face and then handed him the mouthwash.

"Cas, what happened? You smell. Sorry babe, but you do."

Cas nodded, "I know. I was going to take a shower but I got so tired and felt weak. I haven't been able to keep any food down. It's like everything I eat, I throw up."

"So you've been throwing up all day?" Dean asked.

Cas nodded, "Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me when you called? Cas, I would 'a came home."

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry you."

Dean shook his head, "Cas, you gotta tell me these things. Let's get you in the shower."


Gabe was getting worried, Sam hadn't come home yet and it was just getting to seven o'clock. He decided to wait a little while longer before going after his husband. Normally Gabe wouldn't be worried, but lately he's become more and more worried if Sam doesn't come home on time. Gabe glanced at the clock which read 7:15. He was just about to teleport to Sam's job when the door opened and in walked Sam. Gabe squealed (though he would never admit that to anyone) and ran to the door planting a kiss on his husband's lips.

"Gabe," Sam tried to talk but then just let up and let Gabe abuse his mouth.

"You're late, Sammy," Gabe said when they parted.

"Sorry, Gabe. The bus was running a little late."

"I was getting worried and was about to come get you."

"Don't you dare ever do that, Gabe. I should 'a called you. I'm sorry."

"If you can make me a mean hero sandwich, you'd be forgiven."

Sam chuckled, "Sure, let me just change my clothes. Did you not eat today?"

"No, I ate. I'm just starving again."

Sam chuckled again, "Oh, right."
