Dean crawled over to his brother, curled on his side and struggling to breathe. Laying a gentle hand on Sam's shoulder, he ducked to see his face.

"You in one piece?"

"Gonna be sick," came the frantic and pain-filled reply.

Dean quickly repositioned himself to help Sam up and supported him through the process of emptying his stomach into the grass. It caused Dean to feel a little nauseous himself.

Completely spent, Sam collapsed against his brother who lightly ran a hand along Sam's belly, then ribs, checking for injury. The flinch, yelp, and moan confirmed his fears.
