Hello again dear readers! I would like to remind everyone that I do not own Supernatural (damn it!) except Cain (she's MINE) !

CH. 12 Nurses?

Cain parked the Impala in front of Bobby's house and took out the key from the ignition. The noise must have alerted Bobby because he was outside within seconds.

''Hiya Bobby!'' Cain jogged up the driveway and hugged him tightly.

''Good to see you Cain.'' He returned the embrace then turned the two brothers standing next to the car. '' Boy, you look worse than I imagined.''

Dean had one arm on Sam's shoulder to support himself. ''Thanks Bobby! Good to see you too.'' His ribs and ankle were still hurting and he absolutely refused to use a wheelchair so he barely could walk by himself. ''Can we go inside now?''

The four of them made their way in and sat down in the kitchen. It was almost 8 o'clock at night and the three hunters were hungry.

''Bobby, do you still make those amazing pancakes… you know the ones with the blueberries?'' Cain was looking through the cupboards.

''And you can't cook why?'' Bobby asked her.

''Oh Bobby… don't make me beg…'' when he didn't answer she continued. ''Ok. Please Bobby, for me… pancakes.'' She blinked at him a couple of times.

Finally, he got up. ''Sit down.'' And started to work on the pancakes.

'' How did you do that? Bobby never cooks for us.'' Dean was frowning at her.

'' Years of practice.''

After a good meal, the four hunters started to discuss possible cases in the surrounding cities or states. Since Dean's hospitalisation, Sam and Cain hadn't really looked up anything and most of the cases they had found a couple of days earlier had already been handled by other hunters or had turned out to be crap because Bobby knew most of the hunters who took care of them. For the moment everything seemed calm but something was bound to turn up within a couple of days.

Dean had been silent through the whole conversation. He mumbled something about how it wasn't fair that he had to stay at Bobby's and miss all the fun. Then he tried to get up from the chair but fell back.

Cain got up and helped him. ''You okay?''

Dean made a face at her. ''Yeah.'' He answered harshly. He shook of her hand from his arm and tried to make his way to the stairs.

''Where are you going?'' Sam got up too.

''Going to take a much needed bath.''

He looked at the stairs and sighed defeated. Cain smiled. You don't see that everyday. ''And how are you going to do that?''

'' I don't know… I'll manage.''

'' I'll help you up the stairs'' Cain was already by his side and put his arm around her shoulder. She could feel him wincing when he put weight on his bad ankle and she couldn't help but feel bad for him. He had saved them from the creature at his expense and now he couldn't even go up the stairs. They started their way up slowly.

In the kitchen Sam couldn't help but smile. Whatever those two said, they were great together. He knew they argued all the time but he also knew that deep down his brother was softer than he let it seem and he cared for Cain a lot.

He hadn't said anything to him or Cain but he remember clearly hearing him say Cain's name a couple of times when he was unconscious at the hospital.

Bobby raised an eyebrow at the two of them. '' Don't mean to ask about things that aren't my business but what's going on?''

''Oh you don't wanna Bobby… you don't wanna know.''

Finally they managed to get all the way up to the second floor without falling down the stairs. Dean was still leaning on Cain for support and couldn't help but admire her. He was a lot heavier than her and she seemed to support him without any trouble.

Images of her body came to his mind and he cursed himself for being in such a bad state right now because he wouldn't have minded bringing to life all those memories again.

Cain pushed the bathroom door open and detached herself from him. ''Are you gonna be okay?'' She took a step back and looked in his eyes.

''Yeah. I'll be fine.''

Cain made her way back to the door and turned around. ''I never thanked you… for saving my life back there in the forest.''

Dean replied in a matter-of-fact way. '' I was saving my brother too.'' He was lying. He knew Sam would have been more than able to take care of himself. The one he had been really worried about was her. Cain smiled sweetly at him and he wondered for a second if she could see right through his lie.

''Yeah, well thanks anyway.'' She stared at him for a couple of second then added: ''You're a good guy Dean.'' Then closed the door behind her.

She stayed in front of the door for about a minute before making her way back down to the kitchen. Sam and Bobby were still talking about possible hunts when she entered the room. Just as she was about to sit down a loud crash came from upstairs. Sam and Bobby were up in seconds and Cain followed them up the stairs to the bathroom door.

''Dean! You alright?'' Sam knocked on the door.

They could hear Dean cursing inside. ''Damn it! Fucking cast, useless ankle… ARG!''

''Dean! Do you need help?'' Cain was in front of the door too.

Dean stopped making noise at that and a couple of seconds later he calmly answered. ''Kind of.''

Cain looked at Sam who was closest to the door and he realized what she meant. '' No way! I'm not undressing my brother.'' He said loud enough for her to hear. Then he looked at Bobby.

''Don't look at me boy. I'm going back downstairs.''

Cain sighed. ''Dean. I'm coming in okay?'' There was no answer so she told Sam to go back downstairs and opened the door slowly. The sight in front of her was definitely not something she was prepared for. Dean hadn't been able to completely take of his shirt and was now sitting on the floor with half a shirt on and a defeated look on his face.

Cain couldn't help but smile has she closed the door and made her way to him. '' Well, well Dean Winchester. Seems like you lost this fight. The shirt won.'' She kneeled next to him and helped remove the shirt.

''Thanks.''

''No problem.'' Cain helped him up again and started the bath.

As she was checking the water temperature Dean managed to remove his jeans and was now sitting down on the edge of the bathtub in his boxers. '' I remember being covered in dirt in the forest but it doesn't seem to be that bad now.''

''Probably because they washed you at the hospital.'' Cain looked up at him and gasped a little. Good lord he was beautiful. She felt the heat rise up in her cheeks and turned around at once.

'' I think I'd remember that…'' Dean had seen the way she now refused to look at him and smiled.

''Dean you were unconscious. I guess the nurses gave you a sponge bath or something.''

''A sponge bath! And I was unconscious… Damn it! I hope the nurses were hot.''

Cain who was back to checking the temperature hid a smile. ''I bet they were men.''

Dean's mouth and eyes opened wide but he didn't say a word. Cain sat next to him on the edge and spoke close to his ear. ''I bet they were really hot male nurses.'' Then she got up and out of the bathroom leaving behind a very traumatized Dean.

''If you need more help you know where I am.'' She winked and closed the door.

Hihi! Hope you like it!
