A/N~ Okay, I am sorry I did not post this chapter last night, but my dad called me downstairs to eat, and then after dinner my mom went to bed and everyone else watched Christmas movies on TV. So yeah…here is chapter three.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Supernatural; however I do own, Maria, Katie, Samantha, John the dog, and any other minor unrecognizable characters. :)


Maria woke up five days after Samantha's chemo treatment to the sounds of someone throwing up. She looked over and saw Dean was not in bed. She got out of bed and walked to Samantha's bathroom and saw her little girl leaning over the toilet and Dean rubbing her back with one hand and holding her hair with the other. "Is she okay?" Maria asked.

"Yeah, she wanted to try to eat, but well I guess her body is still not ready for anything other than toast and soup." Dean replied.

When Samantha finished she walked over to her mother on trembling legs. Maria pulled her weak daughter into her arms. She placed a kiss on her forehead and then looked at Dean with worried eyes. "Go get the phone, the doctor's number, and the thermometer." Maria said gently.

Dean nodded and when he returned Maria took her baby girl's temperature. "99.1, Dean with her immune system down this is not good. Call the doctor now." Maria said, terrified.

Dean dialed the doctor's number. "Hello this is Dr. Stewart." The doctor answered.

"Hello this is Dean Winchester, My daughter Samantha has a low grade fever of 99.1, she had chemo yesterday." Dean replied.

"Bring her in; I will meet you at the ER doors with a wheel chair and a mask." Dr. Stewart replied.

"Okay thank you doctor." Dean replied then hung up.

"What did he say to do?" Maria asked, as she cuddled her now crying daughter.

"He said to bring her in; he is going to meet us in the ER with a wheelchair and surgical mask." Dean replied with a sad smile.

Maria nodded, and got some stuff together for Samantha. "I wish Sam, Amber and Katie were here." Maria said to herself.

"So do I, but you know they had to leave, you know this is what Sam wanted to do." Dean replied.

"Yeah…" Maria whispered. 'But because they left John is in the Kennel' Maria thought.

She picked up her fevered daughter, and the family of three got into the car. When they got to the hospital, Maria handed Samantha to Dean who carried her to the hospital entrance to meet Dr. Stewart. He put a mask on Samantha, and Dean placed her in the wheelchair.

Maria and Dean walked hand-in-hand to the oncology floor close behind the wheelchair that held their daughter and the doctor. When they reached an empty room the doctor took Samantha's temperature. "101 even, we need to start her on an IV and take some blood to find out what is wrong." Dr. Stewart said then left to get the supplies.

"Mama I am going to be sick." Samantha whispered.

Maria acted quickly and grabbed a bucket. She held the bucket under her daughter's chin. "What a great birthday…" Samantha said sadly when she finished.

"Maria, go get her something. You know what we were going to take her to get? Go get it." Dean whispered to his wife and handed her the keys.

Maria nodded and kissed her daughter's cheek and left. When she arrived at the mall she walked into the jewelry store. "How can I help you?" One of the workers asked.

"I need a bracelet, for my daughter. It needs to be sterling silver with an engraving on it." Maria replied.

"Follow me." The lady replied and led Maria over to a desk.

"When do you need it and what does it need to say?" the lady asked.

"It needs to be done within the hour; it needs to say, 'Samantha, mama and daddy will help you through thick and thin.'" Maria answered.

"May I ask why it needs to say that?" the lady then asked.

"Our daughter has cancer." Maria whispered.

"Very well, we will get right on that, we can have it done in thirty minutes." The lady replied.

Maria nodded, paid in advance and went into the clothing store. She was looking around when her cell phone rand. "Dean what's wrong?" Maria asked.

"Samantha has the flu, but because she has no immune system she needs to stay in the hospital until she is better, they also said that when she is better they will do the surgery for the port, keep her for another night, give her chemo, and then we can take her home." Dean replied.

"Okay, so at least two weeks?" Maria asked.

"Yes." Dean replied. "I have to go, see you soon. Love you." He added.

"Love you too." Maria replied then hung up.

She walked back to the jewelry store and picked up the bracelet and to her surprise they threw in a locket with an engraving that said, 'Hanging tough.' Maria smiled and took them to the hospital.

When she got to the hospital she found Dean singing happy birthday to Samantha.

"Samantha, happy eighth birthday." Maria whispered and handed her the locket and bracelet.

"Thank you mama, daddy! Can you help me put them on?" Samantha asked, her blue eyes brightened for the first time in days.

Maria nodded and helped her little girl. "Dean, can I talk to you for a sec?" Maria asked.

"Yeah, Samantha mama and daddy are going to go to the hallway for a second okay?" Dean asked.

"Okay daddy." Samantha replied then drifted into a light sleep.

"Dean, I am sorry I have been being a bitch, I just don't like watching my baby girl go through this." Maria whispered when they were in the hallway.

"I don't like it either, no child should have to endure cancer, but our little girl is tough, she has the Winchester blood, she will make it through this." Dean replied.

He and Maria kissed passionately and then went back into the room.

Three hours later the doctor came into the room. "I am sorry but visiting hours are over, you two have to leave, you can come back in the morning at 7.' Dr. Stewart said softly, so as not to wake Samantha.

"Is there a hotel close to this hospital?" Maria asked Dean.

"Yes about ten minutes out, you want to stay there?" Dean asked.

"The closer we are to Samantha the better I will feel." Maria whispered. Dean nodded and the two of them left and headed to the hotel.

When they went inside to the front desk Dean said, "Check in, I will go to the house and get some stuff for at least two weeks, so tell them we need the room for at least two weeks." Dean said handing his wife the card.

Maria nodded kissed Dean and then went to check in. "How can I help you?" the person at the front desk asked.

"I need a suite for two weeks." Maria said pulling out her card.

"Ma'am you are aware we charge per night correct?" the guy asked.

"Yes, how much per night?" Maria asked.

"$25.50." the guy answered. "So for two weeks it would be $357." He added.

Maria smiled and handed him the card. The guy ran it and handed her two keys as he said, "Room 300."

"Thank you." Maria replied and headed to the room, when she was inside she called Dean. "Room 300." Was all she said when he answered.

"Okay baby." Dean replied then hung up.

When Dean arrived two hours later he had to knock on the door because he did not yet have a key. When Maria let him in he brought in three suite cases. The showered, and then got into the bed. Maria fell asleep clinging to her husband. Dean too fell asleep clinging to his wife.
