The journey had been a quiet one, he knew his dad wanted to talk but he didn't know how to approach the subject. Dean supposed he didn't help the situation since he still had his headphones in, with this in mind he took them out and put his Ipod back in this bag.

As the truck turned the corner onto the familiar street a smile grew on his face and the tension in his shoulders slightly decreased. As they got closer to the house, the singer car was parked outside and his smile grew bigger - Singers meant bear hugs from Bobby and Pie from Karen. Parked opposite was a car he didn't recognise it, although it had Kansas plates, this made Dean's heartbeat faster; who was at the house, with his Mom, was it the police, was he in more trouble, had they been interrogation his Mom on her own, but then he remembered Bobby! As long as Bobby was there no one can hurt his Mom, so whoever it might be Bobby must trust them to be around his Mom.

The truck came to a stop and Dean turned to his dad who raised his hand and cupped Dean's cheek with a gentle tap, avoiding the split lip and darkening eye. 'you go on in Deano, I'll get the bag' Dean nodded and let out a breath 'Dean, we will get through this' Dean gave a small smile climbed out of his Dad's truck, his whole body ached as he walked to the door. He paused, does he just walk in? or does he knock? Before a decision could be made the door swung open and he was met face to face with his brother.

The two just stood there, staring. 'Hiya Sammy…Long Time' Sam took a deep breath and looked like he was going to say something but his attention was caught by his Dad getting out the truck and walked over to him, 'Dad, do you need any help'

'I'm good thanks, safe trip?'

'Yeah, not too bad, Jake slept most of the way'

Dean now stood alone, like a ditched date. He didn't bother to wait for this brother and Dad, he just walked into the house whilst they continued their conversation.

'Listen here Sam. I'm not having this'

'Not having what?'

'Talk to your god damn brother, he's going through enough as it is. He needs to know that we are all backing him here'

'Dad..'

'Don't Dad me, Just do it' with that he walked into the house.

Sam sighed, it would look bad now if he just left for food, so he followed his Dad into the house.

Dean was stood in the living room surrounded by everyone who were making comments on his appearance, what had happened, the plan next and the while a continued 'Uncle Dean pick me up'. John turned to Sam looking at the commotion from the outside 'where's your Mom?'

'upstairs'

'Right, go save your brother. I'll get your Mother' with that John walked upstairs. He put the bag in Dean's room and he went into the master bedroom, where he found his wife under the covers. He sat on the edge of the bed, kissed her forehead and stroked her hair. Slowly she began to awake from her slumber and blinking eyes began to focus on his face.

'Morning or should I say evening sweetheart'

'John?' then the light bulb turned on her head. She jumped out the bed and began scanning room.

'mary, look at me. Mary' John was up and holding his wife to get her attention

'He's downstairs'

'downstairs?'

'downstairs'

'you got him?'

'I said I would'

'How is he?'

'a little fragile, bruised and …'

'bruised? Why bruised'

'Mary, why don't you come downstairs and see him for yourself'

She didn't need telling twice, before John even knew what had happened she had disappeared out the room. He ran down the stairs and Bobby stopped him.

'John, we are going to get some food, give you all some time.' With that Bobby, Ellen, Jess, Sam and Jake all walked out of the house.

John turned the corner to find Mary sat on the floor cradling a crying Dean.

Once everything had calmed down and the others had returned. They all sat around the dining room table where they silently ate through the take out that Bobby had brought.

Dean kept his head down the entire time even when he heard the movement of a chair, until he felt a small hand tap him on the shoulder; he looked up into the eyes of Jake.

'Uncle De'

Out of the corner of his eye he could see Jess about to stand up, he held up his hand to signal it was ok.

'Yeah bud'

'Why were you crying?'

Dean cleared his throat 'its kind of embarrassing'

Jake's big eyes stared at his uncle.

Dean cleared his throat once more, 'I saw Aunt Karen's pies; and my Mom wouldn't let me have any. Said it would ruin my dinner, so I got a bit upset'

'My Mom does that to me all the time, she won't let me have any chocolate before dinner…but I'm sure grandma will let us have pie after our dinner'

'you really think she will let me, Jake?'

Jake stepped closer to Dean and whispered 'watch this' he then turned Mary with the sweetest of smiles 'Grandma, if Uncle Dean finishes all his Dinner, can we have some pie?'

'hmmm…What do you think Jess?' Mary winked in Jess' direction.

'That's fine by me Jake, but Dean is your responsibility. He has to eat it all!' Jess stared at Dean with a confident smile which basically said – you will eat all that food as you need it and I've now set Jake on you. Dean rolled his eyes in reply. 'but Jake after pie, it's bedtime'

'But Mom!'

'Jake'

Jake pulled his face and growled 'only if Uncle De reads me a story'

'deal'

Jake returned to his chair and finished his dinner, Karen distributed the Pie to everyone. Once everything was finished Dean took Jake to bed and the others cleaned downstairs.

On his arrival downstairs, Dean turned to face everyone and everyone stared back. No one spoke, until Jess stepped forward. 'thanks for putting Jake to bed, I didn't think you would want him to here when you told us all the story.' Dean looked around and nodded.

Bobby stood near Dean 'come on Son, we need to know' Everyone took a seat and John disappeared into the kitchen. He returned with a bottle of Jack and several glasses. Mary gave him the look of Death as he placed them on the table. 'I don't care Mary! The offers there, anyone wants a drink they can' Sam leant forward and grabbed a glass 'Sammy, pour me one too will you' Sam turned to Dean.

'I'm sorry' he looks around to everyone 'I'm going to tell you all the truth'
