Chapter Ten

Sam looked out the little peep hole and could have screamed at who he saw was on the other side.

"Hey Cash I will be back in a sec," he said as he grabbed the doorknob.

"Who is it? A girl maybe could we do a threesome?" Cash asked with a wicked grin.

Sam chuckled, "No I don't think we want to do a threesome with this person," he said before shaking his head and letting himself out the door.

He was furious as he grabbed Ruby by the arm to drag her toward the car.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Oh Sam you missed me?" she asked with a wicked smile.

Sam sighed he really didn't need Ruby drama. He wanted her to go away.

"Look this isn't the time."

"Oh yeah, you know there is an incubus in this town have you all settled the problem?"

Sam nodded as he wondered why she cared about what they hunted.

"Look I need you to leave okay."

"What your girlfriend jealous, yeah I saw you two around town."

Sam explained in no uncertain terms that she had to go and unless he contacted her he didn't want to see her but she only sat down on the Impala to look up at him.

"Yeah about that, how is Dean doing? I heard he got married, not very wise since he is dog meat."

Sam grabbed her by the jacket, "Ruby GO," he insisted as he glared at her.

"Gee Sam you are testy you should go in and get you some, relax dude," she said before she got up off the car and then wandered off. Sam hoped she went far away.

Sam took a few moments to breathe before he went back inside to lie to Cash.

--

Three months later, the foursome had been hunting together with great success. Cassie had shown to Dean time and time again that she could do the job. The two of them were close and happy finally. If it weren't for the death sentence on Dean's head things would have been perfect.

Sam and Cash had a relationship that boardered on serious but Cash still loved her freedom and now and again would go off on her own despite Sam asking to go with her.

It was at one of those times that something bad happened.

--

The three of them arrived at a house that was rumored to have been the site of several recent deaths. Sam had stayed outside to check the perimeter while Dean and Cassie went inside to look around.

Dean opened the door with his picks and Cassie smiled at him.

"Loving your skills, Babe."

"Oh I know," Dean replied with a smirk.

Inside they found that the place reeked of the smell of sulfur. The had only stepped in the living room which was not far from the door when the ghost came out of nowhere and both of them were thrown against opposite walls.

Dean recovered quickly and grabbed his shotgun as he began to shoot the ghost which left Cassie on her own.

She got up and reached toward the back of her head where she felt a wet spot. In the moment it took for her to realize she was bleeding she was thrown again. Her last thought was that there was two of them.

……..

Four hours later,

Dean was a mess though he and Sam had gotten rid of the spirits. They had taken Cassie to the local medical center because she wouldn't wake up. Sam had been the one to drive the Impala as Dean held Cassie in the back seat on the way to the hospital.

"Dean, DEAN."

Dean looked up at him with tears in his eyes as he shook his head.

"It's my fault Sam, I dragged her into this. How could I? I must be insane, Sammy, I love her so much but she cannot do this job. I………can't take this."

Sam looked at his brother, he knew Dean blamed himself for everything that happened to anyone around him, hell Sam did the same thing.

"Dean, it was Cassie's choice. Don't' do this to yourself you have to be strong for her. I believe she will get through this."

Dean shook his head as he got up and headed toward the door. He didn't see the doctor as he came in their direction.

--

Sam met the doctor as Dean did his thing by checking out of the situation.

"Mr. Winchester?"

Sam nodded, for the moment he was the only one available.

The doctor looked at him strangely because he thought someone else had been the one saying they were the husband when Cassie had been brought in but he spoke with him nonetheless.

"Okay we were able to repair the damage to her head, it didn't affect her brain at all. Luckily it was protected by the layers of skin. Her shoulder was dislocated and that was taken care of she does have several fractured ribs and she should come around soon. Her lungs look good as well as her heart," he said, "I have to ask how this all happened, you have to admit it seems suspicious because she appeared in really bad shape when she was brought in."

Sam tried not to stutter, he could only imagine what the doctor thought. The doctor had to consider it might be some type of abuse. It didn't help that Dean had gone off which could make him look guilty of some wrong doing.

"She had a fall, it was an accident I assure you. She is my sister in law and my brother will be back shortly," he said with his puppy dog eyes on full.

The doctor accepted the explanation and told him that Cassie would be out for a while.

"Thank you that is a relief," Sam said before the doctor left.

When the coast was clear he phoned Dean but got his voice mail.

"Dean the doctor said Cassie will be fine you need to get your ass here so she sees you when she wakes up," he said before he pushed send on the phone.

Dean was devastated that the thing he had hoped would not happened had. He walked out to the car and sat down. He wanted to scream but he only prayed. "God please I don't know if you are even there but if you are then you know that Cassie means the world to me, but most of all she does believe in you. If you could just help her to be well I will step out of the picture," he said as the tears came again.

He wiped his face with the back of his hand when his phone rang. He thought about answering it but he assumed it was Sam worrying about him so he let it go to voice mail.

He considered what he had just prayed. Could he really walk out of Cassie's life? He had so little time with her left as it was. He sighed, but if it mean she would be okay then perhaps he should. Dean was lost in his thoughts when there was a tap on the window several minutes later.

"Dean, Cassie is being taken to a room, you need to get inside. She can't wake up and not see you there, she needs your support, man," Sam said.

Sam didn't wait for an answer but walked over near the building to call Cash who was on her way to the hospital from Chicago where she had gone on a hunt a few days before.

"Yeah I am almost there," Cash said, "So they think she will be okay?"

"Yeah she will but Dean is freaking out I need you here," Sam confessed.

"Don't worry I will kick his ass in gear," Cash said before she hung up.

--

Two hours later

Cash walked up to the Impala where Dean still sat. He had been thinking and praying again, something that was all new to him. He didn't feel a lot of comfort from it but it had kept him in the parking lot. Sam had gone in to keep an eye on things so he could call when Cassie woke up.

"Hey," Cash said before she got in the passenger side of the car.

"Hey yourself."

"Dean, I don't know intimate details of your life with Cassie she keeps most of it close to her heart but I do know she is happy with you. You need to be in there when she comes around."

Dean shook his head, "I………"

Cash turned to look at him, "Look you I am trying to be nice but the fact is that she is your wife and you need to get your ass inside to be there for her if you wedding vows mean anything to you," Cash insisted now.

Dean looked up at her and it dawned on him that she was right, the till death do you part thing was important especially since he was the one that had a one way ticket to hell. He had to do all he could to keep his wife satisfied for as long as possible. He nodded as he opened the car door.

"Let's go in," he said before his phone rang.

He stopped long enough to see that the caller was Sam again, "We are coming in," he said with determination.

Dean smiled as he sat down beside Cassie's bed. He took her hand in his as she looked sleepily at him. He realized he couldn't let her go at that moment. There was no way he would leave her until he had too. She tried to smile as he told her too rest. She bit her lip and closed her eyes as she squeezed his hand gently. Dean wasn't going any where even if the chair was hard or the room cold he would stay beside her. Sam watched from the door with Cash he was glad Dean had come around.
