AN: I am so so sorry! I've been busy the last week. Thankfully I have a 4 day week end off from school! So I will try to get some chapters done. I felt it was necessary return due to the fact it's Friday. So the Pilot episode will be broken into two chapters. all i own is oc's & whatever else you don't recognize.

John's been missing for a few weeks now. No phone calls, no nothing. Vanessa and Adam were at a motel on the out skirts of San Francisco. Dean had gone off to do a hunt on his own so they had to stay there. Since Vanessa was considered an adult, he didn't feel so guilty about leaving Adam alone with her.

Vanessa was on her laptop, she's been taking online classes for college. Adam was watching TV.

"That is bull crap!" Adam yelled at the TV. Vanessa looked up from her laptop with a raised eyebrow, "What is?"

"Ghosts don't just help you out that way."

"What are you watching?"

"Return of the King."

"Lord of the Rings?"

"Yeah."

"Jesus Christ, you and that movie. Not everyone knows about ghosts like we do, Adam."

Adam huffed as Vanessa's phone was ringing, "Hello?"

"Hey Vanessa, it's me."

"Hey Dean, what's up? Did you finish that job?"
"Yeah, it's taken care of, but we got a bigger issue."

"Like what?"

"As you know, Dad's been missing. So I need help looking for him."

"Okay, we'll get ready and you can drive by and get us."

"I need more help than that," Dean's voice sounded like he didn't want to offend her.

"What are you saying?" Vanessa said slowly.

Dean sighed, "I need Sam for this."

"NO!" Vanessa boomed out, "Absolutely not!" Vanessa stood up making her laptop hit the floor. Adam looked over at her with wide eyed confusion.

"I thought you two were okay with one another?"

"We are, but you don't need to bring him in this."

"I need him."

"No you don't. I don't want you to drag him back in this. He left this life, so we should just leave him alone."

Dean's voice became stern, "I don't see any other options here. We need his help to find dad. You know we do."

Vanessa rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Fine, if you feel we need him that bad, you go and explain why we need him. Me and Adam will be here waiting for you guys."

"Sounds like a plan," Vanessa hung up the phone and picked up her laptop. It survived the fall. Adam was on his knees on the bed, trying to listen to the conversation, "What's going on?"

"Sam's coming back."

Anxiousness is an emotion mixed between being excited and nervous. Vanessa felt this emotion during the hours that felt like days. Excited for one, her Sam was coming home. Not technically her "Sam" but as close as she could have him, even if it meant only receiving hugs. Nervous for many reasons, one of them was the fact he was being pulled out of his "apple pie life", as Dean called it.

Vanessa didn't really want Dean to get Sam's help. She thought it best to leave him be. Adam however, was jumping for joy. The only thing to make the fifteen year olds life better was to have their father home.

"Where do you think Dad is?" Adam asked looking out the window.

"Wisconsin, maybe," Vanessa answered absently.

"Why there?" Vanessa closed her laptop. She was finishing up her homework, "I don't know, Adam. I just hope he's not in trouble."

"They're here!" Adam ran over to the door waiting for it to open. Vanessa stood up from the couch and quickly combed back a stand of hair behind her ear.

The door opened to reveal Dean and Sam followed behind him.

Dean always looking the same to Vanessa was un-noticed; Sam, however he changed a little bit. He was much more mature looking, but his hair remained shaggy. Vanessa loved it; Dean and Adam always teased him about his hair, not her, she would tell him to keep it that way.

Vanessa looked down at herself and saw how she changed. Her hair was much longer now; down to the middle of her back, which get annoying from time to time on a hunt, but it was no trouble for a hair tie. She was 5' 10" now at the age of nineteen. Vanessa wore her black "Beatles" T-shirt with a pair of blue jeans and black chucks.

She walked up to Sam after he hugged Adam and took him in an embrace. For a few short seconds, she could feel herself mold into him. He was so warm and smelt so nice. Her ear could hear his heart on his chest; it was thumping a little fast. What could he be nervous about? Hers was pounding like crazy. Like all things that was over with when he let go, "Hey, how've you been?"

Vanessa kind of found that a lot easier to answer; if it had been asked two years ago it would have been much harder. She smiled, "Great, I'm doing great. How's Jessica?"

"She's doing great-," Sam was cut off, "You knew about Jessica?" Dean asked from the side.

"Yeah, I met her. I didn't tell you that?" Vanessa asked completely forgetting her mentioning of the blond.

"Nope," Dean shook his head. All Vanessa told him that night her and Sam talked was that they are done hating each other; then again did they ever really start?

"Must have slipped my mind," Vanessa walked back over to the couch to get her things. They left the motel and set for Jericho, California.

Traveling together again seemed great at first, until the reality of the fact the Impala was cramped up. It wasn't as bad as when they were kids because Dad was driving and three of them had to pile in the backseat. Normally Dean got to ride shot gun, but that was a long time ago.

Dean was in the driver's seat and Sam's gigantic body rode shot gun. Vanessa was in the back leaning her head against the window. Adam made his way so he was curled up and lying down with his head resting on Vanessa's lap. She didn't mind being a "human pillow" for him; in fact, he's been doing this since forever, so why stop now?

They stopped frequently at a small gas station to gas up and to get breakfast. Dean and Adam walked out of the small shop with some chips & soda.

"Hey, want breakfast?" Dean asked Vanessa and Sam who were in the car. Vanessa stuck out her hand and Adam gave her the chips. "No thanks," Sam answered, "Besides, how'd you pay for that stuff? You and dad still running credit card scams?"

Dean finished pumping gas in the car and put away the nozzle. Vanessa tuned out of though as they continued their talk on how they get by with credit card fraud. Then Sam complained about the cassettes in Dean's box, telling him he needs to update.

"House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music. Shot gun shuts his cake hole," Vanessa giggled.

"You know, Sammy is a chubby twelve-year old. It's just Sam."

"Sorry I can't hear you. The music is too loud," Dean mocked and drove off.

"You can't get rid of Sammy," Vanessa smirked.

"Kind of like you can't get rid of Nessy?" Sam teased back. Vanessa's smirk went away, "That's how you wanna play it?"

"Ha! Nessy," Adam laughed to himself.

"Shut up "Addy"!" Sam and Vanessa dragged him down with the baby nicknames. Adam made a frown.

"You guys and your adorable names," Dean smiled feeling victorious.

"Let's not forget Adam's name for you when he was four, Deannie Winnie Beannie," Vanessa said in a baby voice. Sam and Adam busted out laughing, "I forgot about that one!" Sam breathed out. Dean just grumbled to himself as they continued to drive.
