Authors Notes: Alright, here's the new chapter and it's long! But, Dean and Sam finally come in :D
And you get an old flashback of when Liz and Elle met the boys along with one on the night Liz had left :3
Hope you guys like it :)
The girls drove along a darkened road. They were the only car driving on it, they wouldn't be surprised if they came upon another woman in white or some sort of road ghost. The car ride had been quite silent. Nothing much talked about well, mostly because they couldn't think of anything to even talk about. Liz was still distraught about loosing Mark and pissed at Gabrielle on the fact that she still was hunting. She was afraid if she did start up a conversation it'd break out into a fight. Liz sighed, she just wanted to get to Bobby's and see Robby, sure he was okay with Bobby, but even after what just happened she needed to watch him like a hawk.
She even thought about making a deal to bring Mark back, but that would be too risky and her sister wouldn't allow it. Why would she waste ten years with Mark and Robby only to die later on? Not being able to watch Robby grow up into a man. She couldn't make a deal, that was defiantly out of the question, but she couldn't help but, ponder about it.
On the radio, Wanted Man by Ratt played, it was the only noise between the girls except for a few sighs. Liz couldn't stand it any longer, she had to start up a conversation with her sister, "So..." Gabrielle raised her head from looking out the window and turned to Liz, "How's school been?" She couldn't think of anything else, but she thought it was a stupid question.
Gabrielle looked ahead towards the darkened abandoned road and shrugged, "Fine, I guess." She then turned and looked back out the window, watching the scenery and causing an even more awkward silence between the two.
Liz broke the silence again, "Didn't you have a roommate with you last time I visited, what was her name?"
"It was Jessica, she moved with her boyfriend two months after you visited."
"So, that's why when I came this time you had put in devil traps and everything else?"
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah." Liz noticed that Gabrielle's voice was slightly saddened at the mention of Jessica, but she didn't really want to ask anymore questions. Liz sighed and went back to paying attention to the road. From the corner of her eye, she watched as Gabrielle's hand went for the radio knob to change the station. Liz glared and then slapped Gabrielle's hand making her pull it back.
"Dammit Liz, what's wrong?!" Gabrielle snapped as she rubbed her hand.
Liz rolled her eyes, "Come on Gab, have you not forgotten the rules in this car?"
Gabrielle huffed, "Liz, it's been 5 years since we were last in this car together."
"Doesn't mean you should forget. Driver picks the music, remember? You sit there in your seat and shut your cakehole. This is my car after all."
"Technically it's dad's car." Gabrielle corrected; Liz scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"It was handed down to me though, I had called dibs on her."
"Only because you're the oldest!"
"Dude, you wanted Bobby's Chevelle, not this baby." Gabrielle smiled and laughed, Liz raised an eyebrow, "What's so funny?"
"You surely haven't changed."
Liz smiled, "So, you think I would've changed?"
"Well, yeah. You went into the apple pie life, that was a major change. How was it?"
Liz sighed, "You know, even though every hunter would dream of living the life I had for a while, it wasn't all perfect." Gabrielle listened in curiously, "I always missed hunting." Liz chuckled, "It was actually the only truly time I was happy. With you, Bobby, John, Sam, and...Dean." Liz looked a head to the road, "I hated being normal. I wished so bad that something would happen in the neighborhood to make me do some investigating, but nothing did." Gabrielle gave Liz a soft smile, "Sure, every hunter wants the apple pie life one day, but it's not as fun as it's cooked up to be."
Gabrielle missed the old days so much and she was sort of glad they were back but, she didn't like that it had to become of Mark's death for them to start hunting again, "Well, like I had told you before you went and got married to Mark, you can never escape your past."
"I wish I would've listened." There was some silence for a while until Liz did get tired of the radio station, "Hey, there's a few boxes in the back, they've all got cassettes in them. Get one of them, I'm tired of this station."
Gabrielle nodded, turning back to the backseat and picking up one of the cassette boxes and started skimming through the cassettes. Gabrielle smiled as she noticed that most of the cassettes were KISS albums. After all, that was Liz's favorite band. She shook her head with a chuckle, remembering Liz driving her insane playing her Kiss albums all the time, "What?" Liz asked.
Gabrielle perked her head up, "Oh, nothing just the fact that I'm finding mostly KISS albums." Liz smiled, "Remember when you had snuck from a hunt and hijacked Bobby's car with Dean and you guys went to see them?"
Liz laughed, "Oh my god, yes!" She shook her head at the memory, "Bobby was so pissed at me when we got back."
"I literally thought he was going to kill you, or mostly Dean."
"I was surprised when he didn't."
"Well, Dean was with you, so he knew you weren't alone and you were safe with Dean." Liz was silent for a moment, Gabrielle noticed something was wrong, she knew it was probably because they brought up Dean, "Liz, you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I was just...thinking."
"'Bout what?"
"That night." Gabrielle knew what Liz meant, "Do you think Dean will ever forgive me for leaving like that?"
Gabrielle gave Liz a reassuring smile, "Even though you haven't talked to him in eight years, I'm sure if you give him a big apology he just might. Oh, here's an album!" Liz looked at Gabrielle and noticed in her hand she held Bon Jovi's album Slippery When Wet.
Liz smiled, "Alright, put it on."
Gabrielle squealed and then put the album in, Liz remembered when it was Gabrielle's sweet sixteen they snuck out of the house and Liz had drove Gabrielle to see Bon Jovi. Bobby wasn't pleased when the girls had come back since he had been worried sick about them but, hey to them it was all worth it. Before the girls knew it, 'Livin On A Prayer' came through the speakers and Gabrielle made sure it was on full blast.
Liz tapped her finger against the wheel to the beat of the song and bobbed her head along to the music. Gabrielle did a few head banging. Everything that had happened in the past 78 hours meant nothing to them at this moment, almost like it had been erased from their minds. It felt like the old days again. When it got to the chorus the girls joined in, "Oh we're halfway there, oh, livin' on a prayer! Take my hand we'll make it I swear! Oh, livin' on a prayer!" They sung and then laughed after they were done.
xxxxxxx
The Winchesters pulled in Bobby's driveway, they thought they would have rest at his house, until another hunt came up. They walked into the house, since the door was unlocked, "Bobby! Where're you at!"
Sam rolled his eyes at his brother's bad grammar, "In the kitchen boys!" Bobby called. Dean and Sam put their stuff down, when they reached the kitchen they walked in and saw the gruff old hunter with a baby. He was smiling and playing peek-a-boo. The brothers looked at each other. The scene just didn't seem to fit, was this really Bobby?
"Uh, Bobby," Sam called, "What're you doing with that baby?" He asked, trying not to laugh.
Bobby stood up and turned to the boys, "Trying to entertain him until his mother gets back."
Dean smirked, "Oh, you got a lady friend?"
Bobby glared at the oldest Winchester, "No you idjit, he's my nephew." Dean and Sam raised an eyebrow, almost forgetting Elizabeth and Gabrielle. They were brought to the attention of car doors shutting a bit loudly and then the front door open.
"Bobby, I retrieved her!" Liz called, Dean knew that voice, but it sounded a little older and he couldn't put his finger on it. Dean and Sam turned around to see Liz and Gabrielle walk in, the two didn't even acknowledge the fact of the two Winchesters there. Liz went straight for Robby and kissed him on the forehead, "Mommy's back, don't you worry baby."
Gabrielle walked over and hugged her Uncle, "Glad to see you again! I got my books in here," She held up a rather large duffel bag, "Got some dead man's blood and a few other things in here too. There are a couple things of industrial sized rock salt in the trunk of the Trans Am that I got for you." She smiled brightly.
Gabrielle loved to gamble and bet. She was incredibly lucky too. It also helped that she always cheated at cards and pool. She and her sister never needed to pull credit card scams. They just gambled their way through life.
Bobby smiled at Gabrielle. "Thanks girl. Now, why don't I make you somethin' to eat? Y'all must be running on pure adrenaline."
Gabrielle laughed sweetly. "That's how I live. Adrenaline and caffeine are all the sustenance I need." Liz picked up Robby from the chair and then turned around, freezing when she met eyes with Sam, who she thought was dead.
"Sam, you're alive!" She ran over to Sam and gave him a hug, with one arm as she held Robby in the other. Sam was slightly weirded out because he didn't remember this girl.
"Yeah, I'm alive?"
"We had heard you were dead."
"Nope. I'm perfectly fine." Gabrielle didn't know about telling Liz what Bobby had told about the deal, "Um, sorry, but who are you?"
"Lizzie..." Dean said finally remembering, Liz smiled turning to Dean.
"Hey, Dean, long time no see?"
Sam smiled, "Wait, Liz and," Sam looked at Gabrielle, "Elle?"
Gabrielle nodded her head, "You got that right Winchester." Suddenly, the two girls had a flashback from when they first met the boys.
Flashback
Gabrielle was in the backyard, throwing knives at an old hood with a target crudely painted on it. Elizabeth was watching as she painted a paper target to shoot at. Bobby came out back and watched them for a moment, just as Gabrielle hit bull's-eye, again. "We're movin' the target this afternoon. Further away and a bit higher. You're doin' good Ellie."
Gabrielle smiled up at her uncle. "Yay!" She gave him a hug and a big smile.
Bobby chuckled and motioned for them to follow. "I got some people I want you two to meet."
Gabrielle clapped excitedly. "Who Uncle, who are they?" She asked, bouncing alone beside him and Elizabeth followed slightly behind.
"Are they hunters too?" Elizabeth asked, faintly interested.
"Yes, a man named John Winchester and his two boys, Dean and Sam." Bobby said. They came upon the three newcomers and the girls smiled big and waved. "John, Dean, Sam, these are my nieces Elizabeth and Gabrielle."
Gabrielle smiled brighter when her name was said. "You can call me Ellie, that's my sister Liz."
Dean grinned. "Her name's Liz, as in Lizard?"
Elizabeth glared and tackled him, punching him in the face. "DON'T CALL ME A LIZARD YOU JERK!"
Gabrielle giggled softly. Sam stared in awe as a girl beat up his big brother. "LIZ! Calm yerself! Don't get worked up over an idjit."
Elizabeth got off him. "That'll learn you, you jerk." She said as Dean held his cheek, it was already bruising.
"Fine, I'll call you… Lizzie." Dean said with a smile.
End Flashback
Liz and Gabrielle smiled at the memory in their head, "Best moment ever, Liz." Gabrielle commented as Liz laughed.
"Can't believe you guys didn't remember us first." Liz shook her head.
"Well, Lizzie it's been what? Eight years?" Liz turned away from Dean, "You suddenly show up and with a baby!"
"Dean, you should've known I'd eventually have a kid."
Dean rolled his eyes, "You could've at least kept in contact."
Liz glared, she walked over to Bobby and handed him Robby, "I'm gonna check up on the Trans Am, see if she needs any work on after the long drive. Surprised she got Gabrielle and I from California back to here in one piece." Liz then turned and made her way outside to the Trans Am.
Bobby shook his head, ""I've made sure that car is runnable the past 4 years encase you girls decided to come back and start hunting again."
"Liz needs some time to herself...Mark did just die." Gabrielle said to Bobby who lowered his head in mourn for the loss.
Dean felt bad now for almost fighting with Liz about not keeping in touch, "Mark?"
Gabrielle turned to Dean, "Her husband." He felt a knife go through his heart almost. Liz had married another man. She was his girl for such a long time and finding this out, he didn't know what to say.
Dean sighed, "I'm gonna go talk to her." Gabrielle smiled as she watched Dean walk outside to talk to Liz. She knew how Dean and Liz felt for each other. They were so close and Gabrielle could see the difference in Dean's personality when he was around Liz. Gabrielle only wished that Dean and her sister would have gotten together but, they never did.
"So, that's Liz's son?" Sam asked, Gabrielle looked at him and nodded.
"His name is Robert; Robby for short."
"He's named after me." Bobby commented with a smirk on his face. Gabrielle just shook her head and smiled.
"Liz only had him a few months ago...her and Mark were so happy and she was living the perfect life...now...it's just gone to hell for her."
"Well, Dean will know what to do." Gabrielle nodded in agreement. Even Sam knew how Dean and Liz were, "Dean knows Liz too well then any of us here. He'll know how to cheer her up."
xxxxx
Dean walked out of the house, the door creaked behind him as it closed. He looked around for Liz, until he found her leaning up against the hood of the Trans Am, looking up to the sky, she looked like she was in deep thought. He put his hands in his pockets and walked up to her, not knowing if she'd snap at him or what, but he was ready for whatever reaction she gave him, "Thought you said you were gonna work on the car." He said, Liz quickly turned her head to him and then rolled her eyes as he walked up, taking his hands out of his pocket and leaning against the Trans Am, crossing his arms.
"What'd you come out here for?" Liz asked, looking from the corner of her eye at him as she looked out into the distance.
Dean shrugged, "Well, haven't seen you in eight years; thought we could catch up on some old times, work on the Trans Am, you know?"
Liz looked down at ground, kicking some gravel and making dust fill the air, "Thought you'd still be mad at me for walking out."
"Dude, that was eight years ago, of course I've let go of it."
Liz looked over at Dean, "Seriously? You're not mad at me one bit?"
"Well, I don't like the fact at how you completely avoided me all these years, didn't even invite me to your weddin-"
"Oh come on, Dean, you really think I would've called you up and asked you to come to my wedding?"
Dean laughed, "I was joking, god I wouldn't want to be caught dead in a wedding."
Liz smiled, "That's what I thought." Dean pushed himself against Liz and she jolted back from the push but, then she hit Dean in the arm.
"Damn, you still know how to pack a punch but, it doesn't affect me that much." Though, Dean still rubbed his arm because Liz did punch pretty hard, Liz smirked at how Dean tried sounding like the punch didn't hurt. She leaned back against the Trans Am, "So, you've got a kid now."
"Yup."
"Never thought you'd have one."
Liz raised an eyebrow, "I am a woman, Dean."
Dean rolled his eyes, "I meant that I never figured that you'd want to have kids."
Liz shrugged, "Well, I was married, it was the right time, so Mark and I created Robby."
"You would say it like that."
"And I did."
"So, how old is...Robby." Dean asked, wanting to know more about Liz's son. After all, if he wanted to get back into Liz's life, he had to know about her son.
"He's eight months." Liz answered, then sighed, "Feels like yesterday I gave birth to him." Liz laughed, remembering the day of Robby's birth, "Bobby though, he was so ecstatic about being an uncle again, I thought he would have at least told you because he had bragging rights after all."
Dean wondered why Bobby never told him about Robby, actually Bobby never mentioned Liz and Gabrielle around him and Sam all these years. It was almost like they disappeared, "He never really talks about you and Elle."
Liz was a bit shocked, "Really?" She was so sure he'd at least let Dean and Sam knew that the girls were alive.
"No. For a long time I thought you were dead."
Liz looked to the ground, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left that time with Gab and lost contact with you. I was wrong to do that."
"You never gave me a real explanation on why you wanted to go separate ways." Dean was curious to know what had made Liz leave all those years ago, it still bugged him to this day on why she did leave and how their last conversation was.
Liz closed her eyes, she didn't want to remember that night, she didn't want to remember the fight and Dean's face last time she saw it. It still hurt her to this day. She didn't really want to tell Dean what had actually happened to cause her to leave.
FLASHBACK
"Ah!" Liz screamed as she went back to the wall and hit her shoulder hard; she looked over to the demon who was possessing Dean's current girlfriend, well she was more a fuck buddy then a girlfriend. "I should have known you were being possessed!" Liz spit back at the demon, "If only Dean knew you possessed her he'd send you straight back to your pit."
"Oh but, he doesn't know. That's what I like because I can just torture the hell out of you." The demon walked up closer to Liz and leaned down to be face to face, she lifted Liz's head up with her finger under Liz's chin, "Dean's never gonna love you back. I'm only trying to get this through your thick head."
"Why do you even care about my feelings?" She didn't want to listen to a demon, she knew all the demon wanted was to separate the Corvelle and Winchesters.
"We demons were humans once before we went to hell."
"I know that."
"You should go off with your sister. If you stick around with Dean you're just gonna get hurt." Liz knew this demon was right; she didn't want to admit it though. Dean was like her other half that made her whole but, she knew he'd never have the same feelings. He was too busy getting with other girls, he'd never admit his true feelings even if he had any.
"What are you gonna do with Dean?"
"Well once you leave with your sister, I'll leave this girl and Dean can do whatever with her after."
Liz looked down, "Alright," she nodded, "I'll leave him." She couldn't believe she was actually listening to a demon.
xxxxxxxx
"Wait, what?" Gabrielle yelled in shock as her sister drove them back home.
"We're going are own ways and not working with Sam and Dean anymore."
"But, why?"
"It's nothing, ok."
"What did he do?" Gabrielle tried to read Liz's expressions, "Wait, did he get you pregnant?"
"What?" Liz looked over at her sister, "No!" Liz turned back to look at the road, Dean and her had done it a few times, okay more than just a few times, but she wasn't pregnant, "We'd have to be really drunk for that anyways..." Liz lied, she didn't want Gabrielle to know about her and Dean being friends with benefits. She pulled into the driveway in front of their place. Liz noticed the Impala in front as well, she sighed and took a deep breath as she opened the car door. Gabrielle followed behind as the walked into house, "Bobby we're back!" Liz yelled, she looked into the kitchen to see no one in there so they went over to the den and found Dean, Sam, and Bobby.
Dean looked over at Liz and smiled, "Hey Lizzie, so how was the hunt?"
Liz shrugged, "Fine, I guess. Umm me and Gabrielle thought of something."
Bobby looked over at his niece with a questionable look, "What?"
"Gabrielle and I want to hunt alone, we don't want any hunters to be with us."
"What?" Dean walked up to Liz, "What are you thinking?"
"I want it to be just us for a while, that's it."
"But...Lizzie.."
"No buts, Dean. I knew you weren't gonna like this either."
"Then why do you want to do this? You know I always have to save your ass."
Liz looked at Dean with a glare, "You always having to save my ass?"
Dean shrugged, "Well yeah, pretty much."
"I took out that ghoul last week pretty damn well without you having to save my ass!"
"Lizzie-"
"And don't call me Lizzie, ok? You know I always hated that nickname!" Liz scowled cutting Dean off. Gabrielle, Sam, and Bobby looked at Liz in shock. They couldn't believe how Liz was acting. Dean didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth to say something but, he reclosed it. He had given her that nickname since they first met and she never minded him calling her that before.
"Lizzie-" Dean stopped, not wanting Liz to yell at him again for calling her that, "Liz, what has gotten into you?"
"Nothing, I just want you to know that I don't need your help all the time!" Dean moved back, he wouldn't be surprised if Liz started throwing punches, but he didn't understand why she was acting this way. Liz huffed, "Come on, Gab."
"Liz, let's try to work things out." Gabrielle pleaded, she didn't want to leave Dean and Sam, who were like brothers to her.
Liz looked over at Dean, then back to Gabrielle, "I said, let's go!"
Gabrielle sighed, turning to Dean and Sam, "See ya, I guess."
Gabrielle then followed Liz out of the house. Dean stood there, in silence as he watched Liz walk out of his life. His best friend, walking out on him. He couldn't believe what had just gone down. Not even knowing that that would be their last moment together until I long time.
END FLASHBACK
"Lizzie, you okay?" He noticed her black out for a moment.
Liz nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay, just a flashback." She gave him a smile, but Dean didn't want to believe that Liz was actually okay. He knew that she remembered that night and why she left.
"Lizzie, we can't keep these secrets locked inside us."
"Dean, I don't want you knowing about what happened, okay? You don't need to. All that matters is that we're reunited now, forget about what happened then."
Dean shook his head, "No, I'm not gonna forget. You know why? Lizzie, you were my best friend!" Liz looked away, "Do you know how hard it was to try and forget about you? To try and forget about that night? Lizzie, look at me!" He yelled, Liz quickly turned to face Dean's eyes, "What happened to you?" Dean paused, "Actually, what happened to us?"
Liz could feel the tears building up in her eyes, she couldn't hold them back any longer. Dean softened up and then pulled Liz in for a hug, letting her cry into his chest as he rested his head on hers since he was a bit taller. This was some reunion for them.
Gabrielle looked out the window and smiled softly as she watched the moment between Dean and Liz. She closed the blinds and turned around meeting with Sam, "Hey there Sammy-Sam! What's going on?"
Sam looked at her with sad eyes. "Why didn't you ever talk to me at Stanford?" Bobby had told him about how Liz had retrieved Gabrielle from Stanford and then Sam realized that Gabrielle was Jessica's friend. He had remembered Jessica having a friend name Gabrielle, but he never knew it was his old best friend.
Gabrielle winced slightly. "I couldn't Sam. I couldn't talk to you and keep my cover. You were avoiding the hunter life, I was hiding that I was still hunting from Liz. You were a tie to a life that I had to pretend to leave behind, a friendship I had to ignore. I wanted to talk to you, hell, I even told Jess to date you so I could keep tabs on you. You may not know it Sam, but I was always there, watching and making sure you were ok. I even gave your daddy updates about you. He asked so many questions and he was always so proud Sammy." She gave a sad smile.
Sam looked pained. "I learn more and more about him the longer he's dead." He said, voice filled with raw emotion.
"Sam, don't be mad at him." She knew how Sam and John's relationship has been before, she knew how they would always fight, how John treated Dean a little better, but she knew how John really cared about both boys and didn't think of Sam less.
"I won't be, but it's kinda hard not to, you know?"
Gabrielle nodded, "Yeah, I understand." She gave him a smile and a soft kiss on the cheek.
She left the tall Winchester boy there and went outside to her Chevelle. "Hey baby. You miss mama? Yeah, I bet you did. Don't worry baby, mama's here to make you shine." She opened the door and reached into the back seat. She pulled out a cassette tape from a box and smiled softly. Her favorite Aerosmith tape, A Little South of Sanity was held in her hand. She put the tape into the deck and played it. She smiled as the tape played just as well as it did the day she got it. She went into the trunk and got her tool box. She took off her jacket and top, revealing her to be in a tank top, and to have multiple scars.
She crawled under the car and hummed along to the tape, a lantern from her trunk on beside her as she worked. A few minutes in she felt a kick at her foot. "Go away! Can't you see Chelsea and I are busy?" She shouted.
Liz laughed and opened the hood, shining more light throughout the parts. "Squirt, you want some help there?"
Gabrielle laughed from where she was. "Thought you were with Dean?"
Liz shrugged, "He had some research to do with Sam."
"Well, a little help would be nice. Chelsea here needs some TLC if I want to get her up and running. Poor baby must feel so neglected."
Liz grinned, no matter how much Gabrielle teased her about the Trans Am the younger Corvelle was and always would be a fanatic of her Chevelle.
The two worked on the car, talking sometimes, but mostly just listening to Aerosmith. It was an agreement of long ago, that the person who owned the car and worked on it more could pick the music while they worked on them. "There's a Hole In My Soul That's been killing me forever It's a place where a garden never grows There's a Hole In My Soul Yeah, I should have known better 'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose Yeah, yeah." The two sang along with the chorus of Hole in My Soul.
They decided to take a break for Gabrielle to go in and make dinner with the food Bobby went out and bought. Gabrielle danced about with Liz helping her, even if the eldest sister was pants at cooking. Dinner was a quiet uneventful thing, a lot of awkwardness and afterwards the sisters went to bed, wary of what the next day would bring.
