Sam carried Adora outside and shook his head when he heard Dean and Kat still arguing. The past few days had been nice, the two of them getting along and everything. And then Sam had found a possible hunt in Ohio and it had been all downhill from there. That had started the arguing all over again. Dean demanding that Katerina not use her ability, Kat of course refused to do that stating she could help them. Sam and Bobby had taken that moment to leave the house and go outside to the junkyard. Sam looked at Addie and wondered if she was ever going to get to see her parents not fighting.

"So, whose side are you on?" Bobby asked leaning against the impala with a beer.

"Addie's side," Sam answered sitting beside Bobby. He shook his head when Bobby offered him a beer.

"That's a good side to be on. Think Dean and Kat can get their shit together long enough to be on their daughter's side?"

"I hope so. This isn't helping anyone them fighting over Kat's abilities. Sometimes I wish…"

"Wish what?"

"That Dean would just accept who Kat has become and move on from it. She isn't going to change now and I don't think he wants her too anyway."

"I think you might be right. I just think he is having problems wrapping his head around the fact that she doesn't need him to protect her anymore."

"You are probably right. I just don't want them to fight anymore. It is getting out of control," Sam said looking at the house.

"Boy, you do realize who you are talking about right? Those two are fighting because they are both convinced that they are right and the other one is wrong."

"I know. Just… What is it going to take to get them on the same side?"

"End of the world?... Wait, that is already happening."

Sam laughed and finally took the beer that Bobby had been offering. Sam sipped it and looked down at Addie then looked at the house. He hoped that Kat and Dean could pull their heads out of their asses long enough to reach an understanding and agreement over hunting together. He knew that if they didn't soon he was going to go back in there and give them a plan whether they liked it or not. He would be the responsible one if he had too when it came to his niece.

Kat raked a hand though her hair and looked at Dean. They had been getting along beautifully the past few days. She had felt like they had reconnected completely. And then Sam had said he thought there was a hunt and it had all fallen apart. Dean had started to make rules about how and what she could do when they were on a hunt and Kat had started arguing with him. She had seen Bobby leave then Sam take Addie out of the room. She wanted nothing more than to sit down and have a civilized adult conversation with Dean but it seemed like there were too many emotions involved for that to happen. She crossed her arms across her chest and watched as Dean turned and looked at her. He looked just as tired with all the fighting as she was.

"I don't want to do this with you anymore, Dean," she said looking at him and wishing she could go back to the beginning when everything had been easier.

"And you think I do? I don't want to fight with you either, Kitten. I really don't but you won't listen to me."

"I am listening to you. You are scared and worried about what I can do. And… you have no idea how much that hurts me. It hurts to know that you are scared of me and what I can do. But I can't… I can't stop being who I am. I won't do it. And you need to accept that and accept that… Our little girl Adora is going to be the same way too."

"No."

"Dean, there is no way around it. She is like me. And I know that that scares you even more but… You can't change it. And I don't think I would if I could."

"What? You would want her to grow up like this? What if she can't control it?"

"We'll show her how. I know how. Dean, I love you with everything I am but I am not going to stay with you and let you change who I am or stop our little girl from being whoever she wants. It kills me when we are apart but I will walk away from you. I will. Don't test me."

Dean looked at her and knew that she was serious. He ran his hand over his face. He didn't want to lose her but he hated who she had become. He wanted his old Kitten back. And that thought that Addie could be like Kat scared him even more. He didn't know how to handle all of this. He had thought that he could deal with it all no problem and that everything would work out but it wasn't. He and Kat were standing on opposite sides of this argument and he didn't know how to get them on the same side without one of them giving in and changing. He walked over to Kat and pulled her close to him. He looked in her eyes and saw his future flash before him without her. It was worse than before. All he saw was himself drinking, hunting and an endless line of women who meant nothing to him. His life would be empty and without meaning. Then there was Adora who would grow up without him and he didn't think that she deserved that. He realized that he was going to have to be the one to give in since Kat wouldn't.

He looked at her and tried to see things her way. Her parents had lied to her about who she was and now he was standing there asking her to do it all over again and to help him lie to their daughter about who she really was. Dean could understand why Kat was fighting him on this; he just wished that he could just agree with her completely. He didn't though. All he could think of was that Kat was going to be putting herself in danger by using her powers and that she was asking him to let him allow Addie to do the same as she grew older. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips knowing that this decision was going to cause problems with his conscious but he needed Kat and Adora with him. He didn't want to do it without them anymore. He had a family and he was going to do anything to keep them with him.

"Kitten, baby, tell me what you want me to do?" he asked running his fingers along her cheek. He felt her lean against his touch.

"I want you to love me like you did before. I want you to try to see me the way you use to and not… Not as a freak. I want you to accept that I can't just sit back and let you fight without me. I just want… I want you to stop fighting me and just love me," Kat said tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Baby, honey no matter how many fights we have I want you to know that I will always love you. Always, nothing could change. Nothing at all."

Kat nodded. She rested her head on Dean's shoulder and tried really hard not to cry but the tears came and fell anyway. She sobbed into his shoulder and felt his hands run along her back and stroke her hair. She wished that she would stop being so damn emotional about everything. She closed her eyes and just let herself lean into her lover trying to remember what it was that had brought them together in the first place. She felt his arms around her holding her tight and tried to tell herself that they would make it. She could feel it in the way that he held her that he needed her and she needed him. She had tried to live without him and it hadn't gone over really well. She didn't think she could handle it again. If she had to, she would but she wouldn't like it. She pulled away and looked into Dean's green eyes.

"Can you really just stand back and let me fight beside you and use my abilities?" she asked softly.

"I… It's going to be hard but if it's between that and losing you, I will try really hard to accept it. Just… Just try and be careful. Addie and I need you around. We need you with us."

"And we also need you. I love you, Dean. I tried not to and to forget about you but I couldn't. You were my first everything and I know that no one else is going to match up to what I feel for you. No one."

"Katerina, I… I know that this is probably going to come out of left field but…"

"But what?"

"Will you marry me?"

Dean saw Kat's shocked look on her face and let her pull away. He watched as she looked at him shocked and confused. He wondered if maybe he should have waited a little while longer before asking her to marry him. He had been toying with the idea ever since Adora's birth. He wanted to make Kat his wife but he was now worried that she might think he was asking her so that he could control her. He knew that even if he married her that he wouldn't be able to control her, he couldn't control her now. She turned and looked at him and gave him a smile. He felt encouraged by that smile.

"You… You really mean it don't you?" she asked.

"Of course I do. I want to marry you. So, the question is do you want to marry me?"

Kat smiled at Dean. She went back to him and pulled him in her arms and kissed him hard on the lips. She pulled away and ran her thumb along his cheek.

"Yes, I'll marry you," she answered smiling when he picked her up and swung her around in his arms.

Sam walked in the room with Addie in his arms and Bobby following him. They stood there confused. Sam looked at Dean and Kat happy and not fighting and wondered if he had entered the Twilight Zone. He looked at Bobby and saw that Bobby was just as confused as he was. Dean turned towards them after placing Kat on her feet. He smiled at them an arm around Kat's shoulders.

"So, why are you smiling?" Sam asked suddenly very worried.

"Kitten and I are getting married," Dean said.

Sam and Bobby were silent. They looked at Kat and Dean then looked at each other. Kat looked at them and started to worry that they weren't happy for her and Dean. Sam looked at her and shook his head.

"I need another beer. In fact I think I am going to buy stock in a beer company. You two married… Yeah, world is going to end," he said shaking his head.

"I agree with what Sam has to say," Bobby added.

"Thanks guys, real supportive," Dean said going over to Sam and taking Addie in his arms.

"Hey, you two getting married is scarier than any monster we have faced in a long time."

"Sam, I am going to hurt you," Kat said glaring at him.

"You always threaten to but you never- SHIT!"

Dean and Bobby laughed as Sam took off running with Kat following him. Dean looked down at Addie as he heard Sammy yelling for help. Addie had a smile on her face and Dean told himself that it was because she was happy about her parents getting married. He looked at Bobby and saw the way that the older man was watching him.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"Bobby."

"It's just… I'm glad you have someone. For the longest time I use to worry about you boys and who would look after you. Especially after John died. But now, you have Kat. She is actually what you both need. She loves both of you and won't hesitate to tell either of you that you are being asses. I know that you get jealous about how Sam and Kat are together but don't be. It is only friendship between them. She loves you. And I couldn't think of anyone who fits with you more than her."

"Neither can I."

Dean turned and saw Sam catch Kat in the kitchen. He started to tickle her and Dean listened as Kat started laughing. Sam picked her up and swung her over his shoulder and carried her into the living room. Dean shook his head at them and Sam smiled.

"Sam, put her down," Dean said.

"Once she promises not to beat me up anymore," Sam said.

"Fat chance of that ever happening, Samuel," Kat answered grabbing his underwear from out of his jeans and giving him a wedgie.

Dean laughed as Sam dumped Kat on her ass and left the room. Dean went over to Kat and pulled her up to her feet. He kissed her on the lips and realized that Bobby was right. Kat and Sam were just good friends, she loved him and wanted to be with him. If she didn't she wouldn't have said yes to marrying him. He looked at Bobby and smiled at him. Bobby nodded and went into the kitchen to get them all beers to celebrate. It wasn't everyday that a Winchester got married. In fact Bobby had a bottle of premium whiskey in the fridge that he had been saving for this very occasion. Although, if he was truthful he thought he would have never ever thought that he would be breaking it out to celebrate the marriage of a Winchester. He had thought about drinking it when Dean had died but something had stopped him. Mostly having Sam around had stopped him. Then seeing Kat and learning of the baby and the thought of drinking himself silly hadn't appealed to him anymore. He was glad that now he could break open the bottle and use to it to celebrate something good and happy instead of something sad and miserable.
