Dean rolled over and opened his eyes. He looked at the spot next time but it was empty. Kat wasn't there. He sighed and sat up in bed and looked around the room. She wasn't anywhere in the room which told him that she was probably with Sam. He told himself not to be jealous but he just couldn't stop that feeling from forming in his body. He climbed out of bed and walked over to the bassinet. He smiled when he saw Adora still sleeping soundly. He reached out and stroked her cheek.

"Daddy is going to take a shower and then feed you and then we'll head over to see what Mommy and Uncle Sam are up to," he told her softly.

Addie didn't answer. He walked over to his bag and got his things together. He looked at the bassinet one more time then walked into the washroom. He left the door open and started the shower. He really wanted to know what Kat and Sam were doing.


"Sam, I am not going to trust her," Kat said again tossing the book across the room.

"Kat, she is trying to help us," Sam said sighing. He just wished that Kat could trust Ruby like he did.

"Help? Really? Cause last time I checked, she didn't help us when those demons came after us. And if she really wanted to help, why didn't she tell us that there was a way to get Dean out of Hell?"

"Come on, how was she supposed to know that angels could get Dean out of Hell?"

"I don't know by picking up a book and reading about it like we did. Oh, wait, can she even read?"

Sam sat on the bed and let his body fall back on it. He stared at the ceiling and moaned. He really loved Katerina but sometimes she was just so stubborn; it was like dealing with Dean. He turned when Kat laid down next to him on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. She rested her head on his chest and looked at him.

"What did she say?" Kat asked softly.

"That Lilith is on the move. And she is pissed that Dean is back. All the demons are. And they aren't too impressed with you either," Sam answered.

"Don't care. I don't need demons to be impressed with me. And I don't trust Ruby, Sam. Every time she shows up there is trouble. And don't try to tell me differently."

Kat laid there and waited. Sam didn't answer her. She knew that he felt torn between her and Ruby but she didn't care. She was Sam's family not Ruby. All Ruby would ever be was a demon and Kat was not going to let her pull Sam down the dark path. She would exorcise that demon shank first. She smiled when Sam turned and looked at her. She saw the smile on his face.

"You know, I could say the same about you," he told her.

"I am not trouble... Okay, not all the time," Kat said seeing Sam laugh.

"Keep telling yourself that."

Kat and Sam turned when the door to the room opened. They saw Dean walk in carrying Addie. Kat saw the way Dean looked at her and Sam and knew that he wasn't happy with it. He shut the door and walked over to the table and sat down. He turned his eyes away from them and looked at the info Sam had found on the hunt.

"So, I wasn't informed that there was a family meeting," Dean said his tone hard.

"Cause this wasn't a family meeting. Sam and I were having a secret rendezvous. Well, it was supposed to be secret," Kat snapped sitting up.

"Kat," Sam said sitting up as well.

"Is that supposed to be funny?" Dean demanded.

"Yes, it is. Dean, I love you, YOU. Sam is my best friend and you got to get over that. He was here when you weren't. I am sick of you being jealous of the two of us spending time together."

Dean looked at her then looked at Sam. He looked away from them. He looked down at Adora and knew that he was on thin ice once again. He looked back up at Kat and shook his head.

"I am trying to deal with it, Kitten but it isn't easy. Sammy was there for you when I couldn't be and I guess... I guess I'm jealous of that and I am wondering how... How am I going to fit into this tag team that you two have created," he said.

Kat got up and walked over to Dean. She sat on his lap and kissed him softly on the cheek. She placed her hand on his as he held their daughter. She looked into his eyes and saw love for her and their little family. She smiled at him and knew that he was going to struggle to with trying to dealing with this. He would never be able to forget that Sam had been there when he hadn't. She nuzzled her face in his neck and inhaled his scent.

"We don't have a tag team, Dean. We were just there for each other. But we didn't feel like our family was completed until you came back. Without you we aren't a family. Don't you get that?" she whispered to him softly.

"No, I didn't get that. I'll have to remember that," Dean said wrapping his arm around her.

"Well, I guess we can talk about the case now?" Sam suggested getting up and walking to the table and sitting across from Dean.

"Yeah, we should that is why we are here. So, what do you think is doing it?" Dean asked looking at his brother.

"Restless spirit. I am sure. I think it's the spirit of the wife because the children's bodies were cremated but not the wife's. The husband didn't want anything to do with her body and the state buried it."

"So, we just dig her up and salt and burn her body and everything should stop?" Kat asked.

"Yeah, that is how it usually works. So, I guess Sammy and I have our work cut out for use tonight."

"And what am I supposed to do?" Kat asked him.

"Sit here and look pretty?" Dean suggested.

"Not happening."

"Kat, you can go to the spa and make sure that we are burning the right body," Sam suggested.

"And how is she going to do that with Addie?"

"We can take Addie."

Sam saw the look Dean gave him. He looked at Kat and saw that she liked that idea. He knew that Dean wanted to keep Kat out of hunting but Sam really didn't see that they could do that; at least not completely. This was their job and there was no way that Dean could keep Kat and later on Addie out of it. There would come a hunt where they would need Kat's help or her abilities. Sam looked down at the paper in front of him not wanting to be the one to tell Dean that. He was already skating on thin ice with the whole Kat and him thing.

"I am not taking my daughter to a cemetery," Dean said.

"Dean, honey there are two choices. She either goes with you to the cemetery or with me to the spa where there might be a ghost that could hurt her. Your choice," Kat said.

Dean sighed and looked at Kat. She smiled at him and he shook his head. He kissed her softly on the lips and felt her still smile against his lips. He pulled away and looked into her grey eyes and knew that he wasn't going to win this fight. He turned and looked at Sam.

"Fine, she comes with us but that means that you have to dig," Dean stated.

"When don't I dig?" Sam asked getting up and going to the fridge to get Dean a beer.

"What are you talking about? I dig."

"Yeah, sure maybe less than half of the time."

"Bullshit. I dig as much as you do."

Kat laughed as Dean and Sam continued to argue about who digs more and who doesn't. She looked down at Addie and saw that her little girl was just sitting there taking everything in. Adora's green eyes looked around then finally settled on Kat. Kat smiled and reached out and took her daughter's hand. Kat looked at Adora and knew that this little girl was the best thing that she had ever done. She hoped that Addie would have a better life then she had had. She never wanted her daughter to feel the pain that she had growing up. She turned and looked at Dean and saw him smiling as he sipped his beer. She smiled back at him and she knew that Addie wouldn't have that life. She knew that Sam and Dean would make sure that Addie wouldn't. Kat kissed Dean on the cheek and nuzzled her face against his neck. She was never going to let this man go again. She had found the second part of her soul and she wouldn't give that up without a fight.


Dean stood up in the hole and looked at Sam who was soothing Addie. Turns out his little girl liked it better when her Uncle Sam rocked her then her own daddy. And that left Dean digging the hole and Sam watching Adora. Sam looked at him and smiled at Dean. Dean glared at him and went back to digging. He tried to move as fast as he could because he didn't like the fact of Kat being alone in the spa with what was a dangerous ghost.

"I'm sorry, Dean. It's not my fault that she likes me more then you," Sam teased.

"She does not like you more than me. She just... She knows that you're a sucker for all that touchy feeling crap," Dean answered.

"No swearing. You heard what Kat said. Don't make me tell on you."

Sam laughed when he saw Dean turn and the look on his brother's face. He knew that if he hadn't have been holding Adora in his arms Dean would have probably tossed a shovelful of mud at him. He looked down at Addie and saw that she was content and not wailing like she had been. He placed her back in her carrier and picked up his shovel again. He jumped into the hole with Dean and started to shovel again. He looked back at Adora every once and awhile and started to wonder how his dad had done it. John had had two small children to look after. Sam remembered a long line of motel rooms and babysitters when he was younger. There were a couple of times that he did remember Dean and him sitting in the backseat of the impala in the graveyard and waiting for their dad to finish his job. Sam looked back at Addie and wondered twenty years from now what she would have to say about the way they had raised her.

"Hey, Dean now that you're a dad do you ever... Do you ever think about what Adora is going to say about the way you are raising her?" Sam asked looking at his brother.

"I try not to think about that, Sam."

"Why not?"

"Because if I do then I have to think about the way dad raised us and I... We have enough problems right now without adding to them."

"Dad did the best he could."

"I know he did but... Now looking at Addie and thinking about the life I had growing up," Dean paused and stopped shovelling. He looked at his little girl then looked at Sam, "Dad could have done better. I get that now. And I want her to have better then I had growing up."

"Dean, she already has better."

"Really, how?"

"She has both of her parents with her. And I am going to make sure it stays that way."

Dean looked at Sam and nodded. He didn't say anything and went back to shovelling. He wanted to tell Sam that sometimes it didn't matter how much you tried to stop something from happening; it did anyway. Like how Dean had tried and tried to protect Sam from the yellow eyes demon. In the end the demon had gotten Sam anyway. Sometimes it was just fate and no matter how many times you tried to stop it, fate got its way every time.


Kat shone the flashlight around the first floor of the spa and quietly walked through it. It had closed for the night two hours before and Kat had snuck in the minute the last employee had left. She walked over to the counter advertising their services and prices. She shone the light on it and looked at the full body massage. It was a hundred dollars. She smirked.

"I can get Dean to that for free. And I bet that he is also better looking than whoever they got doing it," she whispered walking past the counter and down the hall.

She checked every room but didn't find anything and her EMF metre didn't go off. She reached the stairs and slowly climbed them keeping her flashlight down hoping that no one could see it from the outside. She reached the second floor and the EMF started going off. She shoved it in her pocket and shone her light around the landing. She didn't see anything. She took a couple of steps then stopped. She heard movement coming from the room across the hall. She reached behind her and grabbed the sawed off shotgun she had tucked in the back of her jeans. She had needed her hands free to cast the blackout spell insuring that the security alarm would be shut off. She now held the shotgun out in front of her and took a couple more steps. She reached the door and leaned against it. She could hear whispering coming from the other side. She stepped back and took a deep breath. She kicked the door in and held her gun ready to shoot whatever was there waiting for her.
