I'm not a fan of long chapters, and I apologize for it. I did notice that the count is slowly getting bigger and bigger and it is kind of nice. But at any case here is chapter 3!

When Sam opened his eyes for the first time in what felt like days, he didn't know what had surprised him the most: the fact that he wasn't lying down in a hospital bed, or the fact that a feminine figure lay next to him asleep. She had her back at him so he couldn't see her face or who she was. He turned his head and looked at his left on the nightstand to see that it was almost 4 in the morning. Sam sat up and took a look around. It was dark but the sun was about to rise. The room was big; about the size of a normal hotel room, but with a king size bed instead of two queens. It was still somewhat dark, and Sam didn't dare turning on the lights, so he decided to get up and explore in the darkness.

Getting out of the room hadn't been a challenge for him, but knowing where he was actually in the house was going to be one. When he got out of the room he found himself at the end of a hallway. He walked slowly, until his eyes got used to the poor lighting that seemed to be coming from a set of stairs heading down. He felt the right wall with his hand, memorizing how many doors he would have to go to if he ever had to come back to his room. On his way to the stairs he felt a piece of glossy paper, quickly figuring out that it was a calendar. When he finally got to the stairs he decided to go down and continue to explore. The first room he got to was the entrance hallway. Sam finally got his hand on a switch and, giving up the darkness, decided to turn a light on. The following room, the living room, suddenly had light.

He had to think for a moment: what the hell was all this? Last thing he remembered from before he opened his eyes was a weird dream about him fighting off someone (or was it "something") that had pushed him up against a wall and heard a crash. His thoughts were lost, blank, and it didn't take him long to figure out that it was pointless to try to remember before today.

He walked inside the large living room. There were many pictures set on the library in front of him. Pictures of him and a woman with dark hair, possibly the woman lying in bed upstairs. There were also pictures of a little girl around five, and the picture that had surprised Sam the most had to be the one where he had the little girl in his arms, and both were smiling happily.

Sam's eyes kept looking around and suddenly he felt his heart miss a beat when he saw the picture of his parents, John and Mary Winchester, up on the wall. Their smile brought a grin on Sam's face. Seeing them in each other's arms like that took all the darkness of the world away…

"Daddey?" suddenly said a little voice.

Sam turned around. The little girl in the picture was standing right in front of him, and had called him 'Dad'. Since when did he have a daughter?

"Daddey can't sleepy?" she asked him as she ran to him, holding a small yellow blanket in her right hand.

Sam took the little girl up in his arms by reflex. He didn't know what to answer or even who she was. "Hey… What are you doing up at this time?"

The little girl's eyes answered the question; had she cried? "Monster in the closet." She pointed back to the stairs with her free hand.

What could he tell the little girl? That monsters didn't exist? Somehow, he knew deep down that this wasn't true…

"Come on, let's see what we can do," was the only answer Sam could give the girl to reassured her. He brought her back upstairs, turning on the lights this time as he did so, and wondered for a second where the little girl's room was. He let the girl down and went down on his knees. "How about you run to your room and…" he took a few seconds before continuing, "daddy will be right there, okay?"

The little girl followed orders and ran up to her bedroom door, the second door on the right that he had touched previously. She yawned, looking at her father as she did and when she touched the door knob she started trembling. "Scared."

Sam got up on his feet and walked to her, taking her right hand. At least he now knew where her room was. "Let's go in together then." Sam pushed the door slowly with his right hand, his left almost being crushed by the little girl's grip. The room was lit with a nice purple colour nightlight and the room itself had shown to be of a light purple. He brought her to her bed where she got under the blankets and he went for the closet.

He looked in carefully and there was nothing. "See? There's nothing to be scared of." He walked back to her bed and kneeled down by her side. "Try to get some rest, okay? I'll be in the other room if you ever need me." He smiled and got up. Once at the door, he turned around to find the little girl already asleep. Sam could not help but to smile as he looked at her one last time before closing the door behind him.

After he decided that the exploring should be kept until the sun gets up, Sam headed back to the first bedroom. A small light had been turned on inside of it and only wondered what that could mean. He turned off all the other lights and got to the end of hallway.

That is when Sam saw the feminine figure, the woman on the pictures, sitting on the bed starring at him and smiling. "Anna couldn't sleep?"

The name made Sam's heart stopped for a short moment. The woman frowned at Sam's reaction. "Is everything okay, honey?"

Sam shook his head, laughing at himself. "Yeah, she thought there was a monster in her closet so I checked it out."

The woman smiled. She got out of the bed and walked to Sam. "She probably just wanted to see her dad. She just can't get enough of you, you know?"

Sam smiled. It's the only thing he knew that wouldn't make the situation any more awkward for him, and especially to her. She placed her hands on his shoulders. "You're coming back to bed? You know we have a lot of things to get ready for this afternoon and you don't work well without your usual eight hours straight of sleep."

"Err, sure." Sam nodded. "Let me get a glass of water first."

The woman nodded and let go of him, getting back in bed. "I'll be waiting," she smiled.

Sam walked out the door casually. He guessed the bathroom door and luckily enough got it right the first try. He took a look at himself in the mirror. Why did he think he looked… older? Sam wondered why he couldn't remember a thing from yesterday or the month before. Had he knocked himself out and lost his memory?

On his way out of the bathroom, he saw the calendar on the wall again. Sam let the light on and walked to the hallway. On the calendar, he saw only one big red circle around the 19th: "Anna's talent show".

"Can you read it to me now?!"

Sam had been asking his brother the same question over and over again ever since he had gotten up. Dad had call to tell them that he would be another few days before coming to pick them up, and Dean didn't know how long he could still handle his brother's plea.

"Can't you read it yourself?" Dean complained from the couch.

"But I want you to read it to me." Sam sat down on his bed. He had already seen every picture in the book more than five times, but he really wanted Dean to read the story while he could look at them.

Dean sighed and looked over his brother. "Fine. One chapter only." He saw the light go on in his brother's eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

Sam ran to the couch, his hand keeping the book open at a specific page. He sat next to his brother and placed the book on both on his brother's legs. "This page."

"But Sam," Dean frowned as he saw the number fifteen at the bottom, "why don't we start at page one?"

"Because I want to look at that picture." He pointed at the image of a summer farm.

Dean sighed. "Whatever."

As Dean started to read, Sam pictured everything in his mind: the nice ranch house with many rooms and the red barn. All the animals possible that lived on a farm. But what Sam smile about this picture, besides the wonderful scenery of a sunset and birds flying in the sky was seeing people outside the house, working into the garden while the kids played around.

Everyone seemed so happy.

I know what would make me happy: reviews! =)
