Chapter 7

A/N- I do not own Supernatural

"Two double bacon cheeseburgers with fries and two beers." The waitress said placing our order on the table. "Enjoy."

"Thanks." Dean and I said at the same time… Scary…

"I can't imagine what Sam would say if he heard that." I said laughing.

"What? Us talking at the same time?" He asked with a smirk.

"I meant our food order but yeah, that too." After taking a bite of my food, I continued. "It's scary enough when you two talk in sync. I'm also wondering what his lecture he would give us about ordering 'greasy food that will kill us.'"

"I think you hit it right on the nail." We both laughed at that knowing that we were probably right. It was quiet for awhile after that before I decided to break it.

"So… this may not be the best place but… Do you want to tell me what's going on?" He looked up at me for a split second before taking a bite of his burger. "I'm not going to push you but I can tell your holding something in. I haven't known you as long as Sam or Bobby but you're like an open book to me. From what I have seen over the past few years, I'm the same way to you."

"I'll tell you later." He said with a sigh. I gave him a small nod in response. He placed a hand on mine that was sitting on the table. I met his eyes and saw he had a small smile. "I promise."

"So… You were going to say yes to Michael. He took your brother because you took back your 'yes' to Michael last minute. And now Sam has to say yes to Lucifer in order to lock him back in his cage because you made a promise with Death."

After we ate, we drove in silence to the middle of nowhere. We were currently sitting on the hood of the Impala, in the middle of an abandoned field with Dean filling me in on what the boys, Bobby, and Castiel weren't telling me.

"Yeah." He said with a sigh. "I'm sorry we didn't tell you. That I didn't tell you… I just…"

"Don't you dare pull that 'to keep you safe' bullshit with me Dean." I said with a fake glare. I couldn't be angry with him. I understood why he didn't tell me but now that I knew, I was going to help in any way that I could. I leaned my head on his shoulder before continuing. "Thanks for telling me though. I hate being in the dark. Especially when it's hurting the people that I love."

My eyes widened a little bit when I realized what I said. I think he took it in the family love sense because he didn't seem to notice.

"I guess you fulfilled your end of that promise now." He said with a chuckle after a few minutes.

"Yeah… I guess I did." My head was still on his shoulder and at some point he had wrapped an arm around my waist to pull us closer together. "Just a random thought… We should get some pie on the way back to Bobby's."

"Hell yeah!" He said loudly which caused us both to laugh. "I knew there was a reason that I…"

"What?" I lifted my head to look at his face.

"I knew there was a reason I kept you around." I could tell that wasn't what he was going to say.

"Pfft… As if you could get rid of me. "However, if you hadn't looked at your dad's journal and didn't come and find me those few years ago, I may not have gone back to Bobby and may not have been around."

"Well… We're both here so let's not think about what ifs."

"Don't get all chick flick-y on me Winchester." I said laughing.

"So… When are we leaving for Detroit?" I asked walking over to the boys who were in the yard sharing a beer.

"We?" Dean asked with a serious look on his face.

"Yes… We. I want to help as much as I can." I said getting serious.

"Nuh-uh. You're staying here."

"Sam?" I looked towards our moose to see if I can get some backup.

"Don't look at me. This is between you two." I sighed at his response.

"Look, Dean. I want to help."

"This is why I didn't tell you." Dean said rubbing his temples.

"Even if I didn't know what the hell was going on, I would still want to help." I said starting to raise my voice. "You guys have looked like you are going to war for the past year. If things were getting that serious then I want to help. I can't lose any more people… Any more family."

"I will handcuff you to the staircase if I have to. Either way you're staying here."

Let's just say that that was the last time I saw the boys for a long time.

"Dad?" I asked once he walked in the door. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my phone right in front of me waiting for a call from somebody. Molly stayed next to me almost the whole time. I stood up when he walked over towards me after setting his bag down. "Dad… where are Cas and the boys?"

"They're gone."

"Bobby… Elaborate… Please." I said quietly, trying to hold back tears. I was trying not to assume the worst. He pulled me in for a hug when he saw that I was starting to break.

"Sam fell in the cage with Lucifer. Cas had business to take care of upstairs. And Dean… He went to go stay with a friend for a bit." All I could do was just nod.

"Well, I'm happy that you made it back safe." I said pulling away. "I'm not sure about Sam but I'm sure Dean and Cas will come past at some time. But, I couldn't imagine life without the man who I consider to be my father."

It was quiet for a little while after that day. The next week or two was filled with alcohol and silence. I didn't think that I would get through this without Bobby or Molly.

One day, an unexpected knock was heard on the door. Molly seemed to get excited but Bobby and I were skeptical as always. We walked to the door quietly with our weapons at the ready. We were met with an unexpected surprise when the door was opened.

"Sam?"
