Alex woke with sudden movement running down the hallway and down the stairs. He got up and walked downstairs. The door slammed. Alex walked back up the stairs to hear the Deanna crying. He walked into the nursery and picked up the infant. "Hey there, Deanna. Did someone wake you up?"
Her cries kept going. He walked downstairs and with her still in his arms. He fixed a bottle of formula and walked back upstairs and sat in the rocking chair and fed her. She stopped crying once the bottle hit her lips. "I guess you were hungry. Do you need to be changed while I'm here?"
Alex looked up and Gabe stood in the doorway. "What are you doing in here?"
"She was crying. I think Uncle Sam woke her up so I decided that holding her wasn't doing anything so I thought she was hungry."
"You didn't have to do this. You could have got me."
"I helped with the triplets and with Candice. I didn't want to trouble you."
"How could you have heard her crying? You were all the way downstairs."
"I could sleep so I went into the guest bedroom with Lexi and laid down with her."
"And she didn't mind that?"
"She didn't care. I was surprised. Where did Uncle Sam go? It's like 2:30."
"Riley woke up at midnight. Sam went to your house to get Riley some clothes then head to the hospital."
Alex looked down and saw Deanna was done feeding. He took the bottle away and began to rock her to sleep. "So how is she?"
"She is fine. Perfectly healthy. It was like she was never in a wreck."
"So she should be released soon." Alex whispered as he laid Deanna down in the crib and began to walk out of the nursery. Gabe backed up and Alex cracked the door. "I'm going to go back to bed."
"Alright, sleep well. We told you she was going to be fine."
"You should be telling Lexi that, not me."
"See you in the morning." Gabe said ruffling Alex hair then heading to his room. Alex walked into the guest room.
Lexi was propped up on her elbow looking at her brother. "Where'd you go?"
"Riley woke up. She is perfectly healthy. Uncle Sam went to go get her some clothes. Deanna was crying so I fed her and rocked her to sleep."
"Are you going to stay here?"
"Yeah." Alex said sliding into the bed and wrapping an arm over his sisters waist. "Good Night, Lex."
They didn't sleep much that night. Wasn't but 2 hours later the phone rang. Alex and Lexi were woken by the ring. They got up and walked to the closed door of Gabe and Sam's bedroom. They could hear Gabe speaking.
"Sam, I don't understand you. What do you mean he's dead? Who's dead?"
Lexi looked at Alex with fear in her eyes.
"What happened? Where did you find him?"
Lexi was about to cry. She knew that they were talking about either Cas or Dean. She brought a hand to mouth as tear built up in her eyes.
"Wait, you found Dean on the Impala…torn to shreds."
Alex had tears building up but had to stay strong for Lexi. Lexi's knees buckled but Alex held her tight.
"Sammy, Sam, baby, take a deep breath. What makes you think Dean made another deal?"
That was the last thing Alex heard because Lexi ran back to the guest bedroom. She did make it to the bed before collapsing on the ground in tears.
"Lexi?"
"Dad's dead. Alex, Dad's dead." Lexi cried as she curled up in her brothers arms. She didn't care if she was loud at this point. Alex heard the door to Gabe's room open and walk down the hall. He looked into the guest room and saw Lexi and Alex on the ground. He rushed over to them.
"Lexi?"
"Is it true, Uncle Gabe? Dad is dead."
Gabe frowned and nodded.
"Oh God." Lexi buried her face in her twins shirt and cried. Alex wrapped an arm around Lexi tight and placed a hand on her head. He laid his head on top of hers and tears escaped his eyes.
"Everything's going to be ok, Lex." Alex managed to spit out. Right now he didn't know if he was lying or not. That this moment he would do anything to make sure he wasn't. He hated seeing his sister like this. He definitely didn't want his father dead.
That was the day when things changed.
