A/N: Well here it is I decided to post this tonight! Thanks for the wonderful reviews again and all the favorites and follows. You're the reason I decided to finish this!
Standing in the foyer next to the front door A.J., Sam, and Dean were getting ready to say their goodbyes.
"I just want to thank you both so much." A.J. said looking at Sam and Dean. "You've both saved my life twice now and I just can't thank you enough." A.J. said as she started to get choked up.
"Ah, it was nothing." Dean said waving his hand in the air with a smile. A.J. shot him a huge grin and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek.
"It's not "nothing", you saved my life." She pulled him into a hug and then quickly pulled away. She turned to Sam and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek too. She thanked him as well for everything he had done for her.
"I think you guys have that room for one more night." A.J. informed them as they shook both their heads up and down.
"Yeah, I think we'll stay one more night." Sam said as they started walking toward the front door.
"I'm too beat to drive." Dean said as he followed Sam to the front door. He turned back around and looked A.J. in the eyes and pointed at her,
"Remember if anything happens tonight, call us!" He said reassuring A.J. She smiled at him and shook her head up and down.
"You better believe if anything weird goes on in here tonight; you two are the first people I'm calling!" Sam and Dean smiled as they walked out onto the porch and proceeded down the sidewalk. A.J. rose her right hand waving and they both waved back.
A.J. finally felt like her weird journey was over. She finally felt a sense of relief and decided to get a glass of wine. She walked into the kitchen and poured half a glass of wine. She took a sip and savored the flavor of the Chardonnay in her mouth. She took in a long breath and closed her eyes.
She started thinking about her mom and how she much she missed her. It had been exactly a month since her mom had passed away. She thought about the morning she found her mom and how horrifying it was.
A.J. decided it was time to enter her mom's room for the first time in a month. She carefully walked up the stairs and stood in front of the closed door. She took a deep breath and turned the knob. She walked into the dark room and turned on the light switch. She looked from the left and to the right. Everything was still the same. Her mother's rose covered quilt was still crumpled up at the end of the bed. The pillows were still spread out across the bed.
She walked over to her mom's closet and flung the door open. All her clothes were still hung up and A.J. ran her fingers across them. She knelt down to the ground and began crying. The weight of what happened to her mother, to her, and to Tate finally started to grab ahold of her. She put her face into the floor and cried aloud for several minutes. Its times like these that A.J. really needed her mother's loving embrace. She needed her mother to tell her,
"It'll be ok Alexandria Johann, because I love you." That's what she always said to A.J. in her time of need.
A.J. picked her head up off the floor and an interesting box caught her eye. It was sitting on the floor of the closet buried under another box. She removed the stuff on top of the box and dragged it toward her. She looked at how unique the box was; it was a solid wood box painted white and had writing on the top. It said "To My Dearest Alexandria Love Mom and Dad".
Alexandria was taken aback; she never knew her parents had left her anything. She quickly opened the top of the box and looked inside. The first thing she spotted was several unopened letters and she picked them up. She looked at the envelopes and they were addressed to her. She opened up the first one and read it to herself.
"Dear Alexandria, I know you will never understand why I am not there, but I want you to know that I love you. I stay away to protect you from the dangers that are in this world. When you are old enough I will let you know everything your heart desires. Love, Dad." A.J. smiled and held the letter over her heart, like she was giving her father a hug.
A.J. kept digging through the box and ran across a few pictures. She found a picture of her and her father the first day she came home from the hospital after she was born. His smile was huge as he looked up toward the camera cuddling A.J.
Then she found a few more pictures with people she didn't know. There was a picture of A.J., her father and two boys she didn't recognize. Her father was in a chair holding A.J. as the two boys held onto the back of the chair smiling into the camera. She turned the picture over and nearly dropped the photo.
"John, Dean, Sam Winchester and Alexandria Johann." A.J. gasped as she brought her hand to her mouth in complete shock. It all made since as to why her father would leave her their numbers; because her father was their father. A.J. continued to dig through the box and grabbed more photos of that day with all of them in it and took off down the stairs. She threw open her front door and ran down the street to the motel.
