Now:
Bela's Home. Queens.
Castiel appeared back in Queens after checking Anna out, which only found them in another troubling situation. He put things together on a small table in Bela's living room while Bela ate breakfast and Dean sat next to her. Sam stood watching Castiel work.
"Anna? After everything we did for her...this is nuts." Dean commented.
"Yes, well it is true."
"Awesome."
"So her plan to kill me...would it work? Would it stop Lucifer?" Sam asked Cas.
Bela and Dean looked over at him like he was nuts.
"No Sam come on." Dean said.
"Cas?" Sam asked again.
"No, he's right. Lucifer would just bring you back probably."
Bela rubbed her temples. All this drama was giving her a headache.
"You okay?" Dean asked her.
"Yeah fine. So why are we trying to find Anna exactly? If she wants Sam dead should you not stay away from her?" Bela asked.
Castiel looked up to her. "No. She won't stop until he's dead, so we must kill her first."
Castiel throws something in the bowl and it flames as he says a quick spell. A few pieces of ash hit the floor.
"You're making a mess." Bela commented.
Castiel looked at her like she was crazy. Bela only shrugged.
"I found her." The angel said.
"Where?" Dean asked.
"Not where. When."
They all stared at him.
"1978."
"Why?" Sam asked. "What good will that do, I wasn't alive then."
"No, and you won't be if she kills your parents first."
Again they all looked up at Cas.
"I'm sorrry what?"
"Anna can't get to you here because I've hidden all of you. So I believe she's gone back so she can kill them."
Bela looked to Dean nervously. If they died, everything would change. She wouldn't be brought back from hell if Dean wasn't. She'd be in hell right now, she wouldn't be here with Dean and having his child. Their child wouldn't exist. Crap.
He squeezed her hand and looked into Cas' eyes.
"Take us back." He motioned between him and Sam. "Now."
"You want me to deliver you right to Anna? I should go alone."
"No way. They're our parents Cas. Besides better us now then them right?"
Cas sighed. "Okay even if you're right, being blocked from heaven already makes traveling difficult, especially time travel. Making this trip with the two of you will weaken me."
"We have to try." Dean said.
Castiel finally agrees. They get things ready and the boys pack a few weapons into a bag.
Bela watched them, practically biting at her nails. It's not like she could stop them, or would stop them. However, she was worried.
"Alright, you ready?" Cas asked them.
Bela walked over to Dean.
"Try not to die will you?"
He grinned. "Yeah, we'll see."
She gave him a quick glare. "I'm serious."
"I know. We'll be back."
"That a promise?"
"No." he said honestly. "I don't want to make a promise I can't be 100% sure about."
She nodded slowly. "Fine."
Dean squeezed her hand once more and then brushed his hand across her stomach slowly, then turned to Cas. "Let's go."
lllllllliillllllllllll
June 1978. Lawrence, KA.
The arrived and Dean assumed it was the right time. Castiel however had practically collapsed. The boys helped him to a local motel and paid for several days stay for the angel to rest. Sam got the address for their parents and they took off to go find them.
Once they arrive the knock on the door, and Mary opens it.
"Hi." Dean said. Sam stayed behind him, but gazed at the younger version of his mother since he'd never really known her.
She was shocked. "You can't be here."
"I'm sorry, if this is a bad time we..."
"No..look I'm not doing this anymore. I'm living a good life, a normal life here. You need to go."
She went to shut the door but Dean stopped her. "This is really important."
John then came to the door, and Dean introduced themselves as Mary's family. John recognized Dean's face, like he'd seen him before. They all introduced themselves, with Mary staring at them.
llllllllllllllllllllllll
Winchester's Home
After a few drinks and introductions, filled with a few lies from Dean and Sam, John took a call and went in to work.
"Look, you really need to leave now." Mary said to the boys.
"No, you need to listen. You and John are in danger." Dean said.
"Demon?" Mary asked quietly.
"No..."
"Then what?"
"Um...well it's kinda hard to explain actually and.."Dean started.
"An angel" Sam spit out.
Mary looked at the pair of them like they were crazy.
"Yeah, no such thing." she said.
"I wish." Dean said. "Well in most cases. Look, they're stronger than demons."
"Why would one want us dead?"
"We can explain later, we just need you to come with us for now."
"Where?" Mary asked them.
"Somewhere but here."
Mary nodded, and went to find her husband. She came back in. "He's not here...he left this note." she said.
Dean looked at it and then looked to Sam.
llllllllllliillllllllll
The three of them went and found Anna trying to attack John, but the managed to catch her off guard and Sam managed to send her away and gain them some time.
They rushed back to the Impala, with John driving. That right there had been interesting. It'd been for ever since both Sam and Dean had ridden together in the backseat of that car, and with both parents, granted the younger versions, in the front it was quite interesting. John was trying to wrap his head around the whole angel-demon-hunter thing they were telling him.
Mary had him drive to one of their old houses where everything was hunter ready. After Sam and Dean set out a few things that would slow down Anna from getting to them . Sam and John were off in another room when Mary came to Dean asking him to explain everything. He didn't want to, but she threatened to leave if he didn't. So he told her.
"I'm your son."
"I'm sorry?" she froze.
"Your son. Sam is my brother...and we're from the beginning of 2010."
"You expect me to believe that?"
"No, but think about it. Dean, and Sam, Winchester. Named after our grandparents." Dean replied. He then gave her a few details about when he was a kid. It got Mary's attention, and she finally believed him.
"No..."she whispered. "I raised you to be hunters?"
"No you didn't." Dean quickly replied.
"I had to, I mean you're a hunter, you're here and..."
"No, you didn't...because you're not there. You died." Dean said quietly. God it hurt him to say it to her, to watch the look of pain flash across her face.
"How?"
"Yellow eyed demon."
"John...Dad, he became a hunter to get revenge for your death. So he raised us that way, he did the best he could." Dean thought for a second. Was there a way to fix all of this? "Mary, that demon comes into Sam's nursery on November 2nd 1983. I need you to take Sam and run before that. Don't go into that nursery that morning."
"Dean." Sam said, walking in. "Not good enough, he'll find us."
"So what then?"
Sam turned to Mary. "You can leave, now. Leave John."
Dean looked at Sam. He was right wasn't he? That would prevent everything...except there was a thought that flashed through his mind. Everything that happened would change...not only would they not exist, but Bela would be dead and he wouldn't be a soon to be father. The boys were okay with self sacrafice, but Dean wondered if she'd feel the same way? Would Bela be okay with this choice?
"Sam."
"Dean it's the only way. We can stop all of this."
Dean nodded shakily.
"What? I can't do that." She said. "You're my children, and I'm supposed to..."
"You have to. I mean, theres a difference between dying and never being born...you're not the only one with that hard choice to make. Trust me, I have someone I don't want to disappear right now, but it's that or millions and millions of lives at stake here."
"No." She said, shaking her head.
"You have to. This life, it won't stay this way. You'll die, and we'll be cursed."
"You don't understand, I can't. It's too late...I'm already pregnant." Mary said, looking to Dean. The boys froze. Well that wasn't expected. Of course she was though, it was only 8 months before Dean would be born.
"Okay, so I know it's scary...but you can still leave. Dean can be born, I'm the one we have to worry about." Sam said.
"You want me to raise this baby...you...alone?" She asked, looking to Dean, then back to Sam.
"If it saves the world."
John came into the room.
"We have a problem, those sigils I did, they're gone."
Sam and John went to take a look. Mary stayed with Dean as he pulled out the angel killing sword.
"You said you knew what it was like. Who are you afraid of losing?"
He smiled a little for a second. "My uh.." he didn't know how to refer to Bela really, so he went with another option. "unborn daughter."
She smiled back at him. "Not everday you learn you have two future sons and a future grandchild. You're willing to give that up?"
"I don't want to, but under the circumstances...I'd like to think billions of people's lives are more important."
She nodded. "I guess."
Sam and John came back in, Sam confirming that the sigils had been erased, and the holy oil gone. They suddenly heard a loud noise and some glass shattering.
llllllllllklllllllllll
Cambell House
Uriel walks in, and Dean is pissed. He really hated that angel. They started fighting with him as Anna came into the house as well. However, they aren't able to keep up with the angels, and John is thrown outside while Sam is stabbed by Anna.
Dean and Mary paused. Sam falls to the ground dying, but then John walks back into the house and stares at Anna. It isn't really John, it's Michael. He kills Anna and puts Mary to sleep for a minute so he can speak to Dean.
"What do you want?" Dean asked the archangel.
"What do you think I want?"
"I'm not saying yes if that's what you think? Your problem with your brother Lucifer, well you take it up with him can't you leave my family, our place, alone?"
"You think I want to kill him? No, not anymore than you ever wanted to kill your brother. But I will, because it's right."
"Whatever."
Michael tried convincing him, tried talking to Dean about it, but it didn't work. So the archangel told Dean he'd make sure his father was okay once he was out of his body, that Dean would also be okay afterwards. Michael then told Dean Mary and John were not going to remember any of this.
Dean wasn't sure if that was good or bad. He really wanted to save his mother.
"She'll walk into the nursery, she'll die. You can't do this."
"Yes, I can. You learned that lesson once before, you know you cannot change what happened. I'm giving your mother what she wants right now, her family. Just as I know what you realy want deep down. You want that chance to be a father too, so I'm doing you all a favor, including fixing up your brother."
Dean stared at Michael. Michael then touches Sam and sends him home, then does the same to Dean.
lllllllllllllllllllllll
Bela's Home. Present.
Sam is sleeping on the couch and Dean then arrives standing in front of him. Bela comes down the stairs.
"You're back."
Dean nodded.
"Is everything okay?"
"I uh..Anna's dead, the rest though? I don't know."
Dean looked exhausted, and a little defeated. He sat down on the chair. Bela walked to the kitchen and turned the coffee maker on. A few minutes later she returned and handed him a cup.
"You're lucky I had that left...I got rid of most of the coffee because it was too tempting for me."
He laughed, and looked up at her. As much as he wanted to save his parents, Mary was right too. So was Michael in a way. He'd have hated to lose Bela, and the baby. None of this was the right answer really.
"Dean, you're sure you're okay?"
"I will be." he said, reaching up for her hand. She sat down on the armrest and he pulled her closer hugging her to him, breathing in her smell. He then kissed her neck and then placed a kiss where his hand had been on her stomach. She smiled down at him.
The both jumped up when Cas arrived, dizzy and weak. Dean grabbed ahold of Cas and helped Cas to the chair where he and Bela had once been sitting.
"You made it."
"Did I? That's a surprise." Cas mumbled.
Bela looked at him. If it hadn't been so dramatic and worrysome she'd have laughed at the angel. He was a mess.
"Alright there." Dean said as Cas leaned back into the chair collapsing. "You just uh...sleep there or something."
"Well, this has been a fun couple days. Pretty sure I need a break too." Dean commented.
Dean followed Bela upstairs. She quickly changed clothes into her sleepwear as Dean had pulled off his top and jeans. He got into bed and waited for her as she came back in from the bathroom.
"Wow."
She gave him a weird look. "What are you staring at?"
"You."
"Hush Dean. I know, I look terrible."
"No, you look hot."
She rolled her eyes.
"I'm serious. You look good like that."
"You mean the weight gain? You're right what was I thinking."
"Oh please what, five pounds? Besides, you're supposed to or else there would be no little person growing in there."
"Yeah, when I think about that it's kind of creepy. And besides, try ten pounds."
"And you're still small so who cares? Just get over here." he said.
She laughed at him, and turned off the light before climbing in bed. He kissed her softly on the lips and then pulled the covers up over them. Bela had to admit to missing his touch. Dean then removed his hand from her hip.
"Night." he said.
She gave him a pouty look that he'd stopped touching her.
"What?"
"That's it?"
"What? I don't think that's a good idea." He said.
"I'll have you know that it's perfectly all right."
"What is?"
She rolled her eyes at him, and gave him a suggestive look.
"I thought..."
"Well you thought wrong. I double checked."
"You seriously checked into that? Wow. If I didn't know any better I'd say you want me bad."
"Dean, my need for you is quickly fading if you do not touch me right now. You're talk is making me want to just sleep instead."
He shut up then, and pulled her back into him for another kiss before rolling over onto his back with her straddling over him.
End Chapter.
