After breakfast Liz and Dean snuck off into their room and we soon knew why Liz had been looking at us like she had. We could hear her and Dean going at it like we had the night before except in that room was a large headboard and it seemed to be beating against the wall pretty steadily. I giggled at Dean from my perch on his lap in the chair in the living room and Sam looked up with a shocked look on his face from where he was still doing research on the couch. "Damn I don't know if I can stand living in the house with two of you Dean!", Sam shook his head and took his laptop outside to the chairs under the trees. I leaned into Dean and kissed him soundly on the lips, biting his full bottom lip before standing up. He sort of growled and reached for me but I sidestepped him and shook my finger at him. "Not right now D. Later.", and I winked at him and then went to the kitchen to see what was in the fridge. I wanted to do sandwiches for lunch and tacos for supper. I leaned over and checked my supplies and noticed I was out of ground beef and I also needed tomatoes and onions. When I stood up and turned around I nearly butted heads with Dean. I jumped back, "Oh shit you scared me!" He smiled a lazy smile and placed his hands on my hips and pulled me against him. "I didn't mean to scare you but I didn't have a good view from the living room because of the refrigerator door. I came for a closer inspection." I playfully slapped his chest, "You horn dog you!" He kissed me softly and then said, "What did you expect? You were all bent over in there and I happen to really like your ass."
We kissed for a few minutes in the kitchen with him leaning against the counter and me leaning against him. It wasn't real over the top kisses, it was just us enjoying the feel and the taste of each other. I soon lay my head on his chest and breathed in his scent. He smelled like all man, a little bit of soap but also that scent that can only be described as man. "I need to go to the store and pick up a few things. Want to come with or are you going to hang out here?", I said looking up at him. He kissed my lips again. Damn I could get used to this and then the baby moved between us. Dean's eyes widened and a huge grin broke out across his face. "Oh my God that is awesome! You get to feel that all the time?" I nodded and looked down at my stomach and lay my hand on top of it. "Can I?", Dean questioned and reached for my stomach. I nodded and held his hand against the part of my stomach that was moving the most. He stood there with his hand under mine and grinning so big. It made me a little sad that I didn't know more about where this baby came from. How I wished it was Dean's. Soon the baby settled back down and Dean removed his hand. "About the trip to the store…..I'll go with but we're going in my car.", his eyes took on a boyish look and I realized he just wanted to drive.
I grabbed my purse and we left a note for Liz and Dean if they decided to surface anytime soon and I followed Dean outside. Sam looked up and I semi yelled over to him. "D and I are going to the store and will be back in a bit. Do you need anything?" Sam answered, "I wouldn't mind having something sweet.", and smiled sweetly at me. Those dimples could melt your heart. "Ok I'll pick up some stuff and make you something." He nodded and waved and I slid into the Impala's front seat with Dean. When I shut the door and sat back on the seat I had a sudden feeling of having been in this car before. The feeling of the seat beneath me and the smells of the car, the way the doors squeaked as they were closed and then the rumble of the engine. It was as if you could feel it deep down in your bones. Dean must have asked me a question because the next thing I know I see his hand waving in front of my eyes, "Niiiiicole, Earth to Nicole! Did you hear me?" I blinked and looked at Dean. "I've been in this car before!" I turned to look into the back seat and it hit me like a ton of bricks! The sudden vision of me and Dean in the back seat making love, him fixing the backseat all comfy and then laying back before pulling me down onto his chest. Then I could hear him saying, "Are you satisfied with me?" and I feel his breath on my hair. I look up at him and answer, "D I couldn't be happier. Why would you ask it like that? Satisfied? I'm more than satisfied. I know it sounds clichéd but I feel like you complete me." "Well I was thinking about us when we were out looking for Sam and then when we got back I got to thinking some more. I want you in my life. I don't want to lose you.", he paused and I reached to smooth my hand down his stubbled cheek. "I want us to make this more permanent. I want you to be my wife.", he said and I could tell he was nervous. "Oh D I would love to be your wife. I'm not sure how this works in this world but yes, yes 1000 times yes!"
I blink several times and look over at Dean, having come out of my trance. He's looking at me strangely. "You proposed to me back there in that seat after we made love." I told him word for word what I remembered and he looked quizzically at me. Sam must have wondered what was going on with us because he rose from his chair and began to walk toward us. Dean threw up his hand and waved at his brother and said, "Sam's going to think we're crazy. Let's get out of here and we'll go somewhere and talk about this and try to figure it all out." I nodded and sat back in the seat as Dean pulled down my driveway. We pulled out onto the road and soon found a field road that went up behind some trees. Dean turned the Impala onto the field road and pulled far enough behind the trees that we were concealed from any traffic that may be passing on the road. Dean killed the engine and turned his body toward me. "Ok so let's get this straight, you remember this car? You're sure you don't have and ex that has one like her or something maybe?" I gave Dean a hard look and replied, "No Dean! It is this car, these smells, these seats, YOU!" "Ok so let's get back there and see if you can remember more since you seem to remember the back seat so well."
We got out of the car and then got back in the back seat. Dean leaned against the door like he had in my vision and I leaned onto him like I remembered. We lay like that for a while and then I felt Dean stiffen. I sat up and looked at him and saw that his eyes were wide and he was staring ahead. I shook him to see what was the matter. "Dean! Dean what is it?" He didn't answer me for several seconds, he only sat there and stared ahead and his breathing intensified. I reached up and gently but firmly patted his cheek to try and wake him from his stupor. Dean finally looks down at me and then lifts my left hand where the emerald and diamond band sat. He rolled it around on my finger with his thumb and then looked at me. "I remember.", he said looking almost like a little boy. "I remember all that you were saying before and I remember getting you this. We were in some other time, nothing was like now. Everything was abandoned and we found a jewelry store and we broke in after I asked you to marry me. I helped myself to this one because the emeralds reminded me of your eyes." I reached my hand out and smoothed it down Dean's cheek and then leaned in to kiss him.
We didn't know how or why these things were happening but at least things were starting to fall into place. Somehow we had been together, somehow we had forgotten or something but our minds wouldn't completely forget each other. We still had lots to figure out but hopefully it would come with time. We got back in the front and went to get the groceries that I needed for the house. I decided to get the ingredients to make a chocolate pie and some brownies. We paid for our groceries and loaded them in the back seat and then headed home. I scooted closer to Dean in the front seat and he laid his hand on my leg. "I remember this too. You sitting beside me as we drove, sometimes you did naughty things to me.", he waggled his eyebrows. It seemed as if things were rushing back to both of us. I remembered two houses and Sam staying with us. I remembered Sam missing and Dean and D going looking for him. I remembered Liz and I staying at home and waiting on the guys and then Liz coming up missing too. I was remembering so much it was giving me a headache.
As we pulled into the driveway I noticed a car parked in my drive. When we parked I could see Sam still sitting under the trees, only this time he had company. It wasn't Dean or Liz but my friend Nancy!
