Now:
Sam had gotten detoxed completely the next day they'd hit the road not too long after that. Bela went ahead and drove home as well, and Jo went back to hunting. Dean and Sam didn't get too far away before their next case, which was good because only a week or so after they left Bobby's they headed back, only to find a case in Bobby's town.
After finding out a zombie was running around Dean and Sam found out Bobby already knew, but had lied about it because his dead wife had also came back. It was kind of hard to convince Bobby she needed to die when she seemed friendly and Bobby seemed a happier with her here...but she was a zombie and eventually the others started turning rabid.
Bobby's Kitchen.
Karen was baking again, Bobby was off resting and Sam went off to check on another person, or boy, who came back from the dead. Dean was worried about Bobby, and really wished he could send Karen back to her grave, but Bobby wouldn't stand for it. So Dean stood in the kitchen with her, knowing exactly how long it would take to reach his gun in his waistband if she decided to turn crazy.
"You don't trust me."
"Why do you think that?" Dean asked, nervous.
"You're here to watch me. I know who you are, I know who Bobby is now...you guys hunt things, and I'm one of those things. I know you're just looking out for Bobby...but so am I."
"Really?"
"Yeah..poor guy. I remember it all...what happened to me, Bobby having to kill me. I see his guilt."
"Why haven't you told him that?"
"I want to give him peace, not hurt him. I'm his wife...can I take a guess and say you've never been in love before?"
Dean looked down. "I uh, I'm not sure if..."
"Oh? I can tell from that look on your face that you have been before."
"I don't know if it's love, neither of us really talk about it much."
"Current then? Hmm." she asked.
Dean nodded. He hated that this woman was easy to talk to. No wonder Bobby loved her.
"Well if you do, you got to make sure she knows."
Dean nodded again, wanting to agree with the older woman.
llllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Didn't help when the zombies started going bad and attacking people eventually, as Dean and Sam expected. Sam and Dean helped the Sherrif take care of all the others after her boy attacked her husband. Bobby'd kicked the boys out, wanting to take care of Karen himself. And eventually Bobby had to do it...again. At least this time she wanted him to and he had the chance to end her before she went completely nuts. Later Sam and Sherriff Mills come to Bobby's and help Bobby and Dean with the remaining zombies.
Bobby then gave the boys the message Karen had said was from "Death." The Horseman had wanted Bobby out of the way because he was helping the boys with the quest to stop Lucifer. Luckily they'd all survived, again.
llllllllllllllllllllllllll
Dean was quiet as they left Bobby's and headed for a motel a couple hours out. He'd thought about Karen's words, had taken them to heart. It wasn't like he or Bela were ready to say anything yet out loud about their feelings...but she was what he wanted, and they were having a kid together. He had a hard time picturing a future...if there was a future to picture...that didn't have Bela in it. He was at the point where he knew if he lost her he wouldn't just be sad that another friend had died...he'd be devastated as much as losing Sam would be. So while on the surface maybe he wasn't ready to say that he loved her, but underneath it all, it had to be something close if not love exactly.
End Chapter.
