Kat held Addie as she watched Dean pack up the guns and everything. She tried not to be worried about him going out but she just couldn't. She wouldn't be there to have his back in case something happened. She kissed Adora on the head and tried to smile when Dean looked up at her. She knew she didn't fool him when he walked over to her and pulled her in his arms. He kissed her on the lips softly careful because of her split lip.

"I'll be fine. We are just going to check on this friend of Bobby's. I will call you right after," he said smiling at her.

"I don't like not being there. What if you need back up?" she asked softly letting Dean take Adora in his arms.

"I got Sam and Bobby. You need to stay here and watch over Addie."

"Not you too."

Dean smiled and looked at Kat as she rolled her eyes. He then looked at his little girl. She was falling asleep in his arms and he wished he didn't have to go. He kissed Adora on the head and placed her back in Kat's arms. He brushed Kat's hair over her shoulder and looked at her. She looked at him and their eyes met and held.

"Salt the doors and windows. And dammit, if something does show up-," Dean started his voice almost a whisper.

"Don't be a hero. I know, Dean. I can handle it," Kat answered knowing he would worry about her just like she would worry about him.

"Sam's back," Bobby said walking out of the house.

"I'll call you," Dean said pressing a fast kiss on her forehead.

"I'll be waiting."

Kat watched as he grabbed his bag and left. She held Addie closer to her and kissed her daughter on the head. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She walked over and sat on the couch and hated how her heart ached when she heard the impala drive out of the driveway. She closed her eyes and took slow deep breaths.

"Daddy is going to be okay. It's nothing dangerous, really," Kat said knowing she was just trying to convince herself. She opened her eyes and sighed. She got up and placed Addie in the baby swing. She had work to do.


Sam and Dean followed Bobby into his friend's house. They both had their guns raised and were ready for anything. Dean walked into the living room and stopped at the threshold into the bedroom. He looked up and Bobby looked at him. No words were needed as Bobby went over. There on the floor was what was left of his hunting contact. Her chest had been torn open and Dean could see her guts in a pile on the carpet. He looked up when Sam came over. Sam made a face and looked at him. Dean sighed and looked at Bobby. Bobby looked at the body and shook his head. He turned and left the room then left the house. Sam and Dean followed him and found him pacing by his truck outside.

"Dammit!" Bobby said.

"Calm down, Bobby we'll figure out what it is," Dean said looking at him.

"We should call up more hunters in the area. Check to see if they are alright," Sam suggested.

"Dean, call Kat get her to start looking into this. And tell her I have a green notebook by the phone. It has all my contracts from three states over. Tell her to start dialling," Bobby said shaking over his grief at losing a friend. The only thing he could do for her now was find out what had killed her and kill it.

"Alright. We'll figure it out Bobby."

"We better. I don't think this is over."

Sam watched as Dean went over to the impala to make the call. He went over to Bobby and looked at the man who had practically raised him and Dean. He saw the pain in Bobby's eyes but Bobby did a good job at trying to hide it. Sam gave Bobby a small smile.

"What Dean and I to call anyone?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, go tell you ijit brother to get Kat to email you two half the list. She'll probably drive herself nuts trying to call everyone. Then we can also check out some of the local hunters I know."

"I'm sorry about your friend, Bobby."

"It's alright, Sam. It'll happen to all of us someday."

"I hope not. There's a little baby Winchester who kind of needs us around for the next eighteen years."

"She's got Dean."

Sam and Bobby turned and looked at Dean. He was walking around looking at his cell phone probably trying to figure out how to use the speed dial that Sam had programmed on the drive over. He wasn't looking where he was going and stepped in dog shit. Sam and Bobby both smirked as Dean then hopped around on one foot shaking the other trying to get the dog shit off. Sam looked back and Bobby and raised an eyebrow. Bobby sighed.

"Okay, you're right. We need to stick around," Bobby admitted.

"Yep. Only thing saving Addie is she has got fifty percent of Kat's genes."

"Boy, those are your genes too."

"Yeah... Don't remind me."


Kat paced back and forth stopping every once and awhile to looked at the phone then at Addie who was sleeping. She told herself over and over not to worry about Dean, Sam and Bobby. That the three of them were okay. However, she just couldn't stop herself from doing it. She stopped pacing and leaned against the wall. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"This is the last time Mommy is staying behind," she told Adora softly.

Kat jumped when the phone rang. She went over and grabbed it picking it up. She prayed it was Dean on the other end.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Kitten, it's me," she heard Dean say.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. We are all alright except for Bobby's friend. She didn't make it."

"What was it? A demon? Spirit?"

"We don't know yet. Bobby wants to check on his other contracts. He has a green notebook with all his contracts in it. You take half and email us the other half. Bobby says he is pretty sure his scanner still works."

"Okay. Are you and Sam going to be fine?" Kat asked looking for said notebook under the piles of books and paper.

"We will be if Sam quits bitching about the music and my driving."

"I do not bitch!" Kat heard Sam protest from the background.

"You do, Sammy, hence why I call you bitch."

"You are a jerk," both Sam and Kat told Dean.

"Dude, that is friggin creepy how you did that," Dean commented.

"Did what?" Sam and Kat asked doing it again.

"Nothing. You find it yet, Kitten?"

"Not yet. Keep amusing yourself."

"Alright... What are you wearing?"

"Dean," Sam whined.

"Hey, she told me to amuse myself, so I am."

"God, I am leaving."

Kat heard the door of the impala open and slam shut. She smiled when she found the notebook. She went over to the desk in the corner and booted up Bobby's computer. She moved the three piles on books that he had sitting on his scanner and turned it on. She turned and checked on Addie smiling when she saw that the littlest Winchester was still sleeping.

"Hey, Kitten, how is Addie doing?" Dean asked softly.

"She is sleeping. Missing her daddy though."

"Really? I have only been gone a few hours."

"But it seems like forever... To her of course."

"Of course."

Kat sighed and started scanning the pages and emailing them to Sam. Once she was done she set aside the notebook and shut down the scanner and the computer. She leaned back in the chair. She didn't want to hang up on Dean. As long as he was talking to her, she knew he was safe. She raked a hand though her hair.

"I emailed half the list to Sam," she whispered.

"Alright, we better get started then," Dean answered also reluctant to hang up on her.

"When... When are you going to be back?"

"Later on tonight. Be careful, Kitten. I'll call you later when we are on our way back."

"Dean."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Kat heard Dean sigh then the dial tone as he hung up. She hung up and looked at the notebook. It was time to get to work.


Sam drove the impala looking over at Dean who was sleeping in the passenger seat. They had checked a whole bunch of Bobby's hunting buddies only to find them all dead. Dean had tried to argue he could drive back to Bobby's but Sam had pulled the Kat card. Either Sam drove and Dean rested or Sam would call Kat and tell her Dean was taking chances with his life. Sam had never seen Dean had over the keys so fast in his entire life. Sam frowned when he heard Warrant's 'Cherry Pie' playing faintly somewhere in the car. He then sighed when he remembered that Dean had bugged him to set that song as Kat's ringtone. He slowed down and reached into his brother's jacket pocket carefully. He pulled out Dean's cell and answered it.

"Hey, Kat," he said.

"Sam, why are you answering Dean's phone?"

"Because he is sleeping."

"Oh... Okay, are you guys headed back?"

"Yeah, we are. Bobby should be back before us. How is Addie?"

"She is fine. I am going to hit you, now you have Dean calling her Addie."

"It's cute and you know it."

"I hate you, Samuel."

"Love you too Katerina."

Sam looked down and saw that they needed gas. He looked up and saw a truck stop up ahead. He pulled in and shut the impala off. He climbed out of the car and gently shut the door.

"I got to put gas in baby," Sam said to Kat.

"You Winchesters and that car," Kat muttered.

"Hey, you are the one that insisted I call it baby."

"Sure, like anyone would believe you. Oh, Bobby just pulled up. Talk to you later Sam."

"Bye Kat."

Sam hung up and went to fill up the impala. He shoved Dean's cell in his pocket and reminded himself to give it back to his brother later. He stood at the back of the impala gas going in the tank trying to figure out what in the world could be killing all those hunters.


Kat greeted Bobby at the door. She saw how tired and drained he looked. She hugged him. She smiled when he hugged her back. She pulled away and smiled at him. He smiled back at her sadly.

"Do you want some coffee?" she asked softly.

"I would love some. We are going to need it," Bobby said.

"Alright then. Do you have any clue what could be doing this?" Kat asked going into the kitchen and making coffee.

"No, but I am going to look into it."

"Alright, I make pots of coffee then."

Bobby smiled at Kat and walked into the living room. He started going though the piles of books on his desk. He started pulling out ones that might be helpful. He turned and saw Addie swinging in the swing fast asleep. He stopped when it felt like someone's eyes were on him. He turned around but didn't' see anything. And all he heard was Kat humming in the kitchen as she made coffee. He went back to the pile of books but something felt off. He took a breath and froze when he saw it hang in the air. The temperature in the room had dropped several degrees. He grabbed his shotgun.

Kat almost dropped the coffee pot on the floor when she sensed the evil in the house. She tossed it in the sink not caring when she heard it shatter. She ran into the other room and looked for Bobby. She saw him on the stairs with twin girls standing behind him. She knew right away that the girls were the evil she was sensing.

"Bobby, behind you!" she yelled.

The twin girls turned and looked at Kat. She lifted up her hands and went to say an incantation. Suddenly she was flying though the air. She crashed through the window in the far wall. She landed hard outside on the gravel and felt her world going dim. The last thing she heard was Bobby yelling something then she passed out.


Okay, so my computer was being bad and not working, so I had to take it in to get it fixed.
