A/N; OMG thank you so much for all your reviews I can't get over how much you all like this story, if I haven't replied to you personally my apologies and thanks for reviewing. Okay so back to the story, mentions of abuse in this chapter that some may find disturbing.

Dean was locked in a nightmare, he was shut in a darkened closet with Joe outside banging on it taunting him,

" There's monsters in there boy, an I'm going to feed you to um "

" No, p.p.please daddy I'll be good don't let um eat me please " he begged tears rolling down his cheeks

" You're a snotty little bastard ya know that "

" Yes daddy ", the door opened Dean blinked against the light, rough hands forced him out of the closet dragging him across the floor, his arm was hurting and Dean cried out and was back handed hard across his face,

" You been a bad boy Dean, time for your punishment " the little boy slumped in defeat, what could he do? Joe was so big and he was so small. He didn't know what he'd done wrong this time, but then he never knew he just knew that he was a bad boy.

Joe threw him to the ground and slowly removed his belt in the process, he raised it high and brought it down on three year olds back, Dean cried out

" Shut your mouth you little shit, or I'll make it much worse, hell maybe your baby brother needs some disciplining what ya think Deano? "

" No, no sir Sammy's just a baby its me that's bad, its always me " he sobbed, Joe sneered at the quaking child, he opened his mouth to shout at the boy but instead of hearing curses and words to hurt a sweet voice was coming out, a voice singing, Dean turned and blinked in surprise;

"It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no

Or a man who makes potions in a travellin' show

I know its not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and this ones for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It maybe quite simple but now that's its done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses ,well, they got me quite cross

But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song

Its for people like you that keep it turn on

So excuse me forgettin' but these things I do

You see I've forgotten if they're green or their blue

Anyway the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It maybe quite simple but now that's its done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life while you're in the world. "

" Come on baby open your eyes for me " Mary whispered to the sleeping child, Deans eyes fluttered, his dark eyelashes brushing against his cheeks. Pools of Jade green opened to meet the same green of his mothers, Mary beamed at him, she was lay on the bed with him pulled close to her, he fisted his tiny hand in her shirt

" Mommy " he whispered, Mary nodded and gently kissed the top of his head, brushing blonde locks from his eyes

" You're safe now baby, we're not going to let anyone take you away from us again " Dean wrapped his small arms around her slender neck, his chest hitching now with tears,

" They took me away, and, and daddy, they hurt daddy " he cried, she shushed him gently

" Daddy's fine baby, don't worry, we're all fine. He took Sammy home to sleep and give him something to eat, okay ? " she held the little boy close to her, tears rolling silently down her cheeks, she'd climbed on the bed with Dean after John had taken Sammy home, the baby needed his own bed and feeding,

Mary had wanted to stay until Dean woke up. She'd climbed on the bed and pulled the sleeping child to her and began to sing softly to him, something deep inside of her had said that her boy needed comfort, and the song had come to mind. It had done the trick and this was the closet that she'd been able to get with the small boy who usually followed his daddy around like a shadow.

They spent that time together Mary stroking his head and gently singing to him until doctor Turner came in to check on the boy,

" Ah Dean, its good to see you awake " he said moving towards the bed, Dean whimpered and burrowed further into Mary,

" Its okay baby, this doctor Turner he's going to make you feel better " The doctor gave Dean a gentle smile

" Why don't you call me Brad huh? Doctor Turner is such a mouthful " Dean nodded into Mary's chest, he still had not moved from his position " Do you mind if I take a look at that handsome face of yours ?" he asked as he moved forward slowly Dean looked to Mary who nodded encouragingly at him,

" Okay " he said quietly. Keeping one hand latched firmly onto his mothers shirt Dean allowed the doctor to examine him, he winced as the doctor touched his bruised flesh but otherwise he didn't make a sound, he'd learnt a long time ago to not make any sounds, crying only made things worse, so he bit his bottom lip,

" Okay Dean I'm done, you did good. Here how about a lollipop ? " Mary took it form the doctor and handed it to Dean,

" Thanks doctor, when can I take him home ? "

" Well we'd like to keep him in for observation for another 24 hours but after that he's a free man " Mary thanked him again and the doctor left them alone . Dean sat sucking happily on his lollipop cuddled into Mary, she sighed happily and settled herself down,

" Mommy ? "

" Yes baby ? "

" Did daddy send Joe and Mabel away ? " she swallowed hard

" Yeah baby, they won't be able to hurt you again "

" Is…..is he mad at me ? " he asked quietly

" No, why would he be mad at you sweetie ? "

" Cause I was bad. I cried ",

" Its okay to cry baby, even daddy cries sometimes, he was real worried and scared when you wouldn't wake up, so was I "

" M'sorry " she brushed his soft blonde hair with her fingers

" You have nothing to be sorry for honey, nothing. Tomorrow when we get home how about we get something special for dinner ? "

" Okay " he sighed snuggling into Mary once more, she smiled and took the lolly out of his mouth as his eyelids began to slip closed. She reached for the phone by the side of the bed.

John grabbed the phone on the second ring Sammy shifted in his sleep from his position on Johns chest

" Hello " he said quietly

" Hey its me "

" How is he ? " John asked

" Sleeping, he woke up for a little while but he's fine otherwise, Doctor Tuner said he wants to keep him in for observation for 24 hours but after that he can come home " John let out the breath he didn't realise he'd been holding in,

" Thank God for that, it sure is quiet here without you both, how you holding up ? "

" Better now he's awake, I'll talk more tomorrow I'm going to try for some sleep myself "

" Okay, you sleep well. I love you "

" I love you to " she said smiling into the phone, he replaced the receiver, at least she still loved him, if he had Mary's love nothing else in this world mattered. He had Mary and his boys the rest they could work through they always did.

Dean was allowed home the next afternoon, John wandered in the room with a beaming Sammy in his arms

" De " the baby cried when he saw his brother, Dean grinned happily and reached for his baby brother

" Hey Sammy, did you miss me ? " the baby giggled happily sat on Deans lap, John moved forward and grimaced at the colouring on his boys face. Today it was vivid purples and yellows covering the left side of his jaw and lower cheek,

" Hey champ, how you feeling ? "

" Okay, I got a lollipop from Brad he said I was real brave, braverer than he was "

" You sure where, I'm proud of you " John said as he gently stroked Deans right cheek, Mary came in smiling,

" Okay, we're all set lets go, Dean baby who you want to go with ? "

" You mommy " he said green eyes fixed on hers, she grinned wider and lifted him into her arms Sam settled once again in Johns,

" Oh dad said he needed to talk to us later, he's coming round tonight when the boys are asleep "

" What does he want ? " John asked scowling

" I don't know, he didn't say, just that he needed to talk to us about something important " she shrugged.

The Winchesters left the hospital , in the car on the ride home John cleared his throat and looked to Mary,

" Mary about what happened, I'm sorry, I guess you where right there was a better way to deal with it, I just " he sighed heavily " After what happened I just lost it, where do you think I can find any information? , you know to……..to maybe help family left or whatever "

" No John, I think you did the right thing " John gave her a shocked look but returned his eyes to the road so he didn't crash the car " They wouldn't have left it, and next time it could have been much worse. Maybe the home has information on them though, we could try there " he nodded, he'd try there but it wasn't for the reason he'd told Mary, something about the couple had felt off. He couldn't put his finger on what it was but there was something there, and that feeling still hadn't left his gut. The feeling that told him to be on guard, so John was going to do what he did best, prepare and be ready for whatever came their way.

They spent a few pleasant uninterrupted hours together, bathed the children together and had mini steaks for dinner, Dean stating that this was his and Sammy's favourite. John and Mary shared a grin, although bruised and afraid the little boy seemed to have come out of the near abduction fine, he was chatty and happy for which they where pleased, but both were prepared for any nightmares that may come that night.

Daniel arrived around nine and entered the house as if he owned it, he had a smug grin on his face that had both Winchesters feeling uneasy, he sat down in a chair and gestured that they do the same,

" What's this about dad ? " Mary asked nervously

" I want to make a deal "

" A deal ? What the hell are you talking about ? " John ground out, carefully not raising his voice he didn't want to disturb the boys

" I want you out of Mary's life, she will come and live with me as will the boys "

" Dad ? What are you talking about ? There's no way I'm leaving John "

" Not even to keep him out of prison ? "

" What ? " she asked quietly, her usual tan face becoming pale and sickly " Why would he go to prison ? " Daniel examined his nails

" Oh I don't know, but the last time I learnt about the law a double murder wasn't something acceptable "

" Murder ? " she said, her voice now so low that it was barely audible, John remained silent, how the hell did he know? He'd made sure he wasn't followed, had even policed the scene. There was no evidence to prove that John had done anything,

" Yes murder Mary. I know for a fact that John drove Joe and Mabel Bennett out somewhere remote last night and shot them, Mary flinched

" How…. "

" You got any proof ? " John finally asked

" I don't need proof John, I'm a highly respected lawyer running for judge, where you, you're merely a dumb grunt who owns a piss poor garage. I suggest you take the deal Mary, you have till the end of the week to give me your decision "

" What makes you think I won't kill you ? "

" John !!" Mary exclaimed her heart hammering in her chest, Daniel laughed and stood smoothing his hands over his pressed suit,

" I've taken that into account John, anything happens to me and the police arrest you, some of those detective's owe me more than one favour, this would clear their debts in full "

" What even if you're dead ? What can you do to them then ? "

" Expose them for what they truly are, they'd loose everything. Do you think they'd do that to keep a bum like you out of jail ? " John clenched his fists at his sides, " You have until the end of the week Mary, and I suggest you make the right decision, after all we wouldn't want little Dean back in care would we, or an institution "

" You bastard, leave the boys out of this " John growled

" Do as I say, and the boys will never want for anything again "

" Get out " Mary growled " Get out of our home " he smiled sweetly at the couple

" As you wish, I'll be in touch though, and I suggest you reign in that famous temper of yours John " he smirked and left the couple alone, shock settling into the pair as John stared after Daniel.

How could he be so cold? Did he hate John that much?

" Mary ? " she was sat looking at her hands, trembling slightly " Mary, I'm sorry this is all my fault "

" Stop it. Its not your fault at all " her voice was shaking with barely controlled rage " Its his fault, he's such a…..a……"

" Asshole " John offered, she stood and turned to him, face set in a stubborn expression, she nodded

" That'll do, well he isn't going to get away with it ",

" But what can we do ? You heard him I'm screwed " he sat down heavily his hands threading through his dark hair, in protecting his family he'd doomed them, God why was he such a screw up.

" We run " she said " Go and pack as many things as you think we'll need. Clothes for the boys, for us, only bring as much as we can carry. We'll go to a friend of mine who lives in South Dakota he might be able to help us, he knew my mom. Go on now "

" Mary what have you got planned ? " he asked

" John just trust me okay. Now go pack then get the boys, we leave tonight " he nodded and stood quickly, he could follow orders, but he didn't see how anyone could help them out of this.

Mary looked around the house and sighed heavily, she would miss the home she'd built with John, but no one, no one was going to break up their happy family, Daniel may have had his contacts, but she had contacts of her own.

The boys sleeping safely in the back of the impala the trunk packed with four duffle bags the black muscle car headed away from the house in Lawrence Kansas towards the unknown.

A/N; Okay so what ya think? Who could they be going to visit? And how will they be able to help? Please review, you've made writing this story fun, can't thank you all enough xxx The song Mary sang to Dean was ' Your Song' by Elton John, and sang fantastically by Ewan McGregor in Moulin rouge.
