Authors Notes: Well, we finally get back into the season 3 storyline. Here is part one of The Kids Are Alright! WOO ~
There are three parts to this. I will post the other two after once I get reviews for this and see what you guys think :)
Liz shut the trunk of the Trans Am, causing a small banging sound as it did, "There, everything is packed." She said, turning around as they were about to head off. Dean leaned up against the Impala, he was waiting to get on the road already, Sam sat in the Impala.
Liz walked up to Bobby who held Robby in his arms, "Be safe girls." Bobby said to Liz and Gabrielle, he knew Gabrielle would be fine, but he was slightly worried about Liz considering the fact that she hadn't been on a hunt in four years. Sure, he'd trained her since she was really young, but he was afraid she could've gotten rusty the past couple years.
"It's not me you have to worry about, it's Liz." Gabrielle said before walking around the Trans Am and getting in.
"Don't worry Bobby, I'm gonna be fine." Liz took a hold of Robby's hands, she hated having to say goodbye to him, but she had to go off with Sam, Dean, and Gabrielle. She had to avenge Mark's death and find that demon and she did really miss hunting, "Be good to your Uncle, can you do that for me Robby?"
The little boy giggled, Liz gave him a smile, "Mommy's going away for a while, but don't worry I'll be back, but Bobby is going to watch you until I return, so don't you worry. He'll make sure you're safe." She gave the boy a kiss on the forehead.
Dean hated seeing Liz saying goodbye to Robby, he wish she didn't have to do this. He walked up next to her, rubbing Robby's head, making the boy laugh, "Come on Liz, we gotta get going."
"Bobby, if Robby is any trouble at al-"
"Liz, go on! I'll be fine with the boy, you get your ass in the car and go." Bobby knew if he didn't say anything for Liz to go now, she'd continue to stay here. Liz laughed and rolled her eyes, "Give me a hug girl." Liz smiled and her and Bobby hugged.
Liz turned to Dean, "Alright, we can go." Dean gave her a soft smile and then wrapped his arm around her as they turned around and walked towards the two cars. Dean gave her a kiss on the cheek before separating and getting into their cars where Sam and Gabrielle waited in each. Liz started up the Trans Am, she looked back at Bobby who had Robby's hand in his and waved to her, she pulled her seat belt over her and then followed the Impala out, ready to start hunting again.

Gabrielle and Sam sat next to each other on the chair in the restaurant. They currently were talking to Bobby on speaker phone about Dean's deal and how to save him, "Elle, I won't let you give yourself up."
"Bobby, Liz needs Dean."
"We will find another way. If Sam can't make a deal, you can't either." Bobby said sternly, Gabrielle didn't really want to listen, even as much as she loved her uncle, but Bobby thought that it wasn't a good idea. He had raised Elle since she was 7 months old, both her and her sister were more like daughters to him other than nieces. Losing either girls would be hard on him, the same with Sam and Dean. He'd lost Karen before, he didn't want to lose any other family too.
Sam didn't want Gabrielle to give up her life either, he'd already lost her once, he didn't want to lose her again and permanently, "Elle, we will find another way."
Gabrielle shook her head, "Sam, how are you so sure? What if the only way to save Dean is by me?"
"We aren't sacrificing anymore lives."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the window. Gabrielle and Sam turned to see Dean and Liz, Dean held a newspaper up and waved it about. Then they started to walk towards the entrance into the restaurant, "Bobby, we gotta go."
"Elle, you better not go and do anything stupid."
"I won't Bobby." Gabrielle reassured, she didn't want to go against Bobby, who was more like a father to her then her uncle. Sam closed the phone once Dean and Liz took a seat on the other side.
"Who were you talking to?" Liz asked, curiously.
"Pizza man." Sam answered, Gabrielle could have face palmed if she wanted to, but she just nodded and smiled to play along.
"You do realize we're in a restaurant, right?" Dean questioned, raising a brow. Liz was confused, she knew Gabrielle and Sam were keeping something, "Anyways, I think we got ourselves a hunt."
"Some guy, who was home alone, fell on his chainsaw, ripped to shreds." Liz continued with interest, she was hoping there was something happening in this town. She'd missed hunting so bad and to finally hunt again made her as happy as a kid in a candy store.
"Oh wow, he fell on his chainsaw, that really sounds like somethings going on here." Gabrielle said rolling her eyes, "Liz, I think you've been away too long."
Liz glared at her sister, "Hey, I am so up for a hunt right now."
"So you are pretty much gonna think any death that happens means that something supernatural is behind it?"
Liz huffed, "No, I'm not stupid."
"Here, how about me and Lizzie go check the place out, and you guys can do some more research?" Dean offered, he had something or well, someone else in mind to go see. He was planning on him and Liz splitting up and searching out the neighborhood, but really him go and see someone who he hadn't seen in 8 years.
Gabrielle liked this idea, it gave her and Sam time to find some more stuff on hopefully getting Dean out of his deal, without Liz finding out about it just yet, "Alright, I'm cool with that, Sam?"
Sam nodded in agreement, "Yeah, same."
Liz smiled, she was hoping there was a hunt, "Okay, then let's get going!" Liz got up from the seat in cheer, even doing a fist pump; Dean followed behind her shaking his head at her. Gabrielle moved over to where Dean and Liz had sat, to give Sam some room.

Liz leaned back as she sat in the passenger side of the Impala, she cringed at the happy neighborhood, knowing she had lived in one, but she never truly liked it. Dean looked over to Liz, he loved her, but until they really decided to start a relationship, he still thought he could have fun, "So, how about you take one side of the neighborhood and I take the other side?"
Liz shrugged, "If that's what you want, but I was hoping we'd be a team."
"We are a team."
"Then why are we splitting up?"
"To scoop out the neighborhood, see how much information we can get."
Liz was a little curious as to why Dean was acting so strangely, she sighed, "Alright the-"
"Cool, I'll take the left side you take the right." Dean stopped her in mid sentence, Liz wondered why he wanted to take the left side so badly. What was more important with the left side then the right that he had to have a huge smile about? She decided not to ask why.
"Fine with me." Liz shrugged, Dean stopped the car and then they both got out, Liz then started walking over to the house, in which the ex-wife of the guy that had died, lived in. She knocked on the door, immediately a young mother, with brunette hair, opened the door, "Hi, I'm Liz Ford, from the insurance company about your husband's death." Liz then pulled out her wallet to show the woman her 'card'.
Luckily, the woman hadn't caught that Liz's last name she got from Lita Ford. She used Ford a lot then, Gabrielle even used Jett for Joan Jett. Most of Liz's last names were either Ford, Neil after Vince Neil, Rose after Axl Rose, or even Simmons after Gene Simmons; that one her and Dean used to fight over to use, personally she thought Liz Simmons fit her better than Dean using Dean Simmons.
"Oh, okay, well could you just wait here? I have to take my daughter over to a party across the street. I'll be right back."
"Sure, I don't mind." Liz looked to see the woman's daughter, who held a present in her arms, "Hi, there." Liz smiled, she didn't get no smile back, the girl just moved behind her mother.
"Sorry, she's been really shy...since, well..."
"It's okay, I understand."
"Come on, Katie, let's go."
"Okay, mommy." Katie answered, Liz watched as the mother and daughter walked across the street, but something caught her notice. The same house Dean had went to, was the same house they were going to. Liz raised a brow and crossed her arms, was it just a coincidence that Dean decided to just pick that house?
She looked over at the mailbox from the same house, the name on it read Braeden. That name, it ringed in her mind, like she knew someone with that last name, but who?
Flashback
Liz and Gabrielle sat at a bar, it'd now been a few months since they split from the Winchesters. Liz looked forward to see some girl, with black hair, in a skimpy outfit that was a tight black tank that was cut to show her belly and daisy duke type shorts, the only reason she looked up was because she heard the name, Dean, come out of the girls mouth.
"Liz." Gabrielle brought Liz out of her gaze, "Did you hear me?"
Liz shook her head, "No, sorry Gab."
Gabrielle sighed, "I said that we should meet back up with Bobby, it seems there isn't just one werewolf around, but a pack of them."
Liz rolled her eyes, "It won't be THAT hard." She knew if they went to Bobby, they'd meet back up with John, Dean, and Sam; Liz couldn't have that happen, she had to stay away from Dean.
Gabrielle glared at her older sister, she would get into any mess and say she didn't need help, when in actuality, she did, "Liz, there's more than one. How can just two of us take on a pack?"
"All we need is a good gun with some silver bullets and there, werewolf soup." Liz got up from her seat, "I'm gonna go get another beer."
Gabrielle sighed, "Alright, then."
Liz walked over towards the bar, she listened into the girls talking about some man named Dean, not like there weren't any other guys with the name Dean who were crazy about sex, but she knew Dean was currently on the road and close to here, from what she heard after talking with John after he called to check up on the two girls.
"Did he say anything else about himself?"
"No, just that his name was Dean Winchester."
"Lisa Braeden, you know better than just to get a name from a guy!"
Lisa laughed, "Sorry, I was too overcome by his hotness to even ask. Did I mention he's amazing?"
Liz knew it, she had a feeling they had been talking about Dean, why? She didn't know, but for some reason she had that feeling. Even after not talking to him for a few months now, she still cared about him, still loved him, still was jealous towards every girl he got with because it wasn't her. She loved him, but she knew she had to move on. The demon was right, even if Dean loved her back, he'd never admit it. So what was the point in sticking around with him and having her heart broke all the time? It just wasn't worth it. Liz got herself another beer and then walked back to the table.
End Flashback
Liz put it together, Dean was at a kids party, Lisa had a thing with him some odd years ago, she had a son. Liz felt like she was gonna faint, did Dean have a kid already? It'd be the only reason why he so badly wanted to go to that one house out of all the other houses on that block. Liz sighed, she knew it was too good to be true, she had a feeling that all Dean wanted was just to get with her. Not because he actually cared for her.
She decided to just stay there, not even ask Dean any questions, what if that had been just a random house. What if that's not the Braeden she was thinking of and a different one? Liz sighed, she had to stop getting jealous when it came to Dean. Even if he had finally admitted his true feelings, they weren't really together. He helped with Robby, even if she didn't need help, they were a little more closer, but she wasn't his girl, unless she was and she just didn't see it.
Liz wondered, did she have to make the first move? They had kissed, but was that official? Dean confused her, he always had, but that's why she loved him. Dean was her first love, she gave her heart to him all those years ago. Mark didn't have any part of her heart to take, Dean had took it all. Liz then thought, had she ever really truly loved Mark? Or did she just want someone to settle down with that could take her mind off of Dean?
How come she choose someone who was so much different then Dean or actually any of the other guys she'd ever been with? It seemed like Gabrielle had been right all along, she hadn't want to admit it before, but now she kinda believed it.

Gabrielle walked out of the restaurant bathroom, before she got back to her and Sam's table she noticed a blonde chick talking to him. She went back over to the corner and watched as the two talked, she wondered who the chick could possibly be, another hunter maybe that Sam knew? Well, it didn't look like to her that Sam and the chick was good friends, they were just talking.
She waited until after the woman left to go back to the table, Sam looked away from the computer to see Elle coming over to sit down, "Hey." Sam said, Gabrielle just studied him, wondering what he had talked about with the mystery woman.
Gabrielle opened back up her laptop, "So, I seen that you were talking with someone before I came back." A slight of curiosity in her voice.
"Oh, uh, yeah, she's just a hunter that me and Dean have worked with before. She saw me sitting here and thought she'd come over to say hi." Gabrielle knew that was a lie, she knew Sam's lying voice very well and he used that voice, but she decided to play along.
"Oh, okay, I was just wondering." Gabrielle knew Sam would crack later or she would find out somehow about who the mystery woman was. She was intrigued and curious to know who the woman was. She looked over to Sam's hand to see something written, but couldn't get out what it was.
xxxxxxx
Liz watched as Dean walked out of the house, she stood straight up, "So, you were in there for a pretty long time."
"Hm? Oh, uh, yeah, just an old friend of mine."
Liz crossed her arms, "Old friend?"
"Yeah, no big." Though, to Liz it was a big problem, "Anyways, there is a hunt here, apparently there have been other deaths happening in the neighborhood that didn't hit the newspaper."
Liz got a big smile, "Well, finally! I've been dying to go on another hunt!"
"Are you ready?"
Liz glared at Dean, "Dean, just because I've been retired for four years doesn't mean that I've lost all my hunting quality."
Dean grinned, "Well, alright then. Let me call Sam and tell him that we do have ourselves a hunt." Liz nodded and then the two went and got into the Impala. Dean was still worried if it was okay for Liz to hunt again, but he decided he'd trust her.
xxxxxxx
Sam's phone vibrated on the table, which got Gabrielle and him out from all the research and turned their attention to the vibrating phone, "It's Dean." Sam told Gabrielle and then put then answered the call and put the phone back to his ear, Gabrielle leaned in to listen, "Hey Dean, what's going on?"
"Looks like we've got ourselves a hunt. There's been four more other deaths here, they just didn't hit the newspaper and all were in the same neighborhood."
"Well, guess we're going on a hunt then."
Gabrielle smiled, she couldn't wait, she even fist pumped, "Yes!"
"Lizzie and I will meet you and Elle back up at the hotel in a few."
"Alright, we'll be there." Sam ended the call and then looked at Gabrielle who had a huge smile on her face, "What's got you so happy?"
"Um, let's see...maybe the fact that we haven't hunted together in years? Sam, the teams back together! You, me, Liz, and Dean! It's going to be like the old days again." Sam smiled, he actually did miss how thing used to be before, he couldn't wait. The team was back together.
xxxxxx
"So, what exactly has happened within all these deaths that are similar?" Sam asked as they all sat in the hotel room. Liz sat at the edge of the bed, Dean next to her. Sam and Gabrielle sat across from each other at the table by the window.
"Well, they've all been the fathers and one babysitter, that's what I got from Lisa." Dean answered, Liz wanted to growl, but she held it back. She knew it was Lisa that Dean had gone to see. She knew it! Though, that was what the trouble was, she was right and Dean had seen Lisa.
"Lisa?" Gabrielle questioned, "Who's this Lisa?"
"An old friend of mine."
Liz huffed, she obviously was more than just a friend. Liz may be a blonde, but she wasn't stupid. She knew how Dean worked around. He couldn't lie to her.
"So, you got all this from Lisa, right?" Gabrielle asked, she noticed Liz's face, the disgust in her eyes every time Lisa's name was brought up. Gabrielle snickered, catching Liz had a spark of jealously. How did Dean not even notice this?
"Uh, yeah?"
Gabrielle perked, "Well, I say we all go check out the neighborhood. Liz and I will take half and you boys take the other half."
Liz raised an eyebrow, normally she'd always gone with Dean while they were a team. The only time her and Elle went together to search a place out was if Gabrielle wanted to talk to Liz, "Well, come on, we haven't got all day here. We gotta stop some more deaths from happening." Gabrielle got up from her seat, "Come on, Liz!" She yelled as she walked to the door.
Liz sighed, getting up from the bed, she didn't even look at Dean. Dean looked at Sam, "Well, let's get our asses in gear." Sam shook his head and got up from his chair, Dean got up from the bed and they followed behind Liz and Elle.

"Alright, Gab, what do you want to talk about?" Liz asked as she started up the Trans Am.
"What's the deal between you and Dean? And who the fuck is that Lisa chick he knew about?"
"First, I have no clue what's up with him. He keeps giving me mixed signals, I have no clue if we're officially together or what. Second, I don't know who that Lisa chick is, but I would love to give her a punch." Gabrielle laughed, she loved when Liz was jealous of other girls that Dean knew. She got a kick out of it.
"I say we go check out who that Lisa is." Gabrielle smirked.
"Are you saying that we should go spy on her?" Not that Liz didn't mind that idea, she'd like to know who this Lisa chick is.
"Not exactly spying..."
"Either way, I'm up for it."
"Sweet!"
"So...what exactly do you have in plan?"
Gabrielle smirked, as she thought of something and then Liz grinned as Gabrielle explained the plan.

"Alright, so you gotta tell me man, what's going on between you and Liz?" Sam asked as the two drove to the neighborhood.
"What do you mean what's going on between Lizzie and I? Sam, you don't need to get in between this."
"I know, but I want to."
"Right now just isn't the time."
"What could possibly make this not the right time to talk about you and Liz?" Sam looked into Dean's eyes, trying to figure something out. Then it came to him, he noticed how Liz got when Dean brought up that Lisa chick back at the hotel, he gasped, "Wait, Lisa isn't just a friend is she?"
"Sam, I told you, I don't want to talk about it."
Sam sighed, "Dean, I don't know what you're getting yourself into, but we just finally got our team back together." Sam paused, knowing he repeated sorta what Elle had said earlier, "I don't want you to screw this all up."
"What are you talking about? I wasn't the one who screwed things up last time, Liz walked out. She was the one. Not me."
"You were part of the reason she walked out though." Did he have to drill that in Dean's head? They've been over this before, but apparently Dean just didn't get it.
"Sam, just shut up and stop butting in."
"I'm not gonna shut up, Dean! Do you even realize how much Liz loves you?"
"Of course I do."
"Apparently you don't because you obviously care about getting back with someone you had a fling with years ago, instead of teaming back up with Liz."
"Look, Sam you don't know what's going on."
"Tell me, what's going on? Huh? What's so important that you have to still hang around with this Lisa?"
"She has a son."
Sam rolled his eyes and huffed, "Oh, she has a son?" Sam then realized what Dean meant, "Wait...yours?"
"I don't know, okay? She said he wasn't, but he just turned eight. Lisa and I had a thing around the same time she got pregnant with him. I can't help, but think she could be lying to me."
"Does Liz know about this at all?"
"No, she doesn't need to."
"Of course she needs to know! You're currently trying to help her support her son Robby."
"Alright, I'll tell her eventually."
Sam shook his head, "I swear, you better not mess things up."
"I won't. I'll make sure of it." Or at least, Dean had hoped he'd know what he was doing.

"Gab, I can't believe we're doing this."
"Just go along with the plan."
"Alright, fine!" Liz ringed the doorbell, her and Gabrielle giggled. Before they knew it, the door opened, to reveal the same women Liz had seen all those years ago, a little bit older of course, but she knew it was Lisa.
"Hi, do I know you?" Lisa asked, smiling. Liz wanted to roll her eyes, but she put on a fake smile.
"Actually no, but we're new here. We're sisters and we've moved down the street...today." Gabrielle snickered in the back of her throat.
"Oh, welcome to the neighborhood." Liz could tell how awkward Lisa seemed.
"I'm Beth and this is my little sister-"
"Abby." Gabrielle smiled, trying not to hide the smirk that she wanted to show so bad. She couldn't believe her and Liz were doing this right now, when they should be hunting and finding out what's going wrong with the neighborhood, but they couldn't help themselves.
"We thought of getting to know everyone in the neighborhood, you know?"
Lisa nodded, "Yeah, would you two like some beer?"
"Oh, we'd love some."
"Well, then come on in." Lisa moved out the way of the entrance and motioned with her hand for Liz and Gabrielle to walk in. Liz nodded her head at Lisa as thanks and her and Gabrielle walked in. She couldn't believe how well this worked, she wasn't gonna worry about Dean noticing that she was here because she had parked the Trans Am a few houses down.
Liz and Gabrielle walked behind Lisa to the living room, Liz remembered that the house almost reminded her of her old house. She pushed that out of her mind, not wanting memories to flashback and make her breakdown.
Liz and Gabrielle sat on couch, "I'll go grab us some beers." Liz and Gabrielle smiled at Lisa as she left to the kitchen to get some beers.
"Oh my god, I can't believe this worked." Liz whispered, amusement in her voice.
"Well, of course it did. You really think one of my plans would fail?" Liz shook her head with a smile, now why didn't she think of this before? Then again, Gabrielle was much smarter.
"So, you're sisters again, right?" Liz and Gabrielle quickly shut up as Lisa walked back in, she handed Liz and Gabrielle two nice cold beers, bud light to be exact.
"Yeah, we decided to buy a house together because it'd be easier since we both could chip in on the house payment and all of that." Liz lied, but she made sure it was a good lie. She knew if Dean was here, he would be able to tell she was lying, but this was Lisa, who had no clue before that Liz ever existed.
"And we loved this place when we found it, we thought it was perfect." Gabrielle said as she took a sip of the beer, "Liz has a son too."
Liz shoot a look at Gabrielle for talking about Robby, "Oh, you do? So do I."
Liz smiled, "I just got out of nasty relationship." Liz paused, she took a sip of the beer, "So, Abby thought we should move in together and she'd help me with him."
"How old is your son?"
"He's only a few months, how about yours?"
"He just turned eight." Liz, who was drinking her beer, almost choked as Lisa mentioned that her son was eight.
"Beth, you okay?" Gabrielle asked, Liz cupped her hand to her neck as she coughed and then she got a breath of air and she was perfectly fine again.
Liz nodded, putting her hand down, "I'm okay, really." She lied, though Gabrielle knew something was up. Liz remembered when she was at the bar that time with Gabrielle, where Liz had actually listened into Lisa's conversation about Dean. She realized that was eight years ago. She summed it all up, that's why Dean was here. That was his kid!
"Um, what time is it?"
Gabrielle raised an eyebrow, wondering what was up with Liz, why she was acting so odd. Liz knew something that Gabrielle didn't and Gabrielle needed to know.
"It's five till four, why?" Lisa asked.
"I just realized, I have a doctors appointment. Um, it was nice getting to know you, but Abby and I have to go." Liz quickly got up, "Come on Ab."
Gabrielle put her beer down, Liz gulped down the rest of hers and then gave it to Lisa, "Um, guess I'll see you around the neighborhood then."
Liz nodded, "Yeah, we will."
Gabrielle and Liz walked out of the house, Gabrielle ran up to her sister who was walking fast and stopped her at the sidewalk, "Liz, what is going on?"
Liz turned to face Gabrielle, "Lisa's son, yeah that's Deans."
"Wait, what?! Liz, how the hell do you know?"
"Because Elle, I listened into a conversation Lisa had eight years ago about Dean. Remember it was not long after we split from him and Sam that we stopped at that bar, apparently Bobby needed help with pack of werewolves. Remember?"
"Come on, Liz, that can't possibly be Deans son."
"I don't want to believe it is, but it could be. Come on, let's just go." Liz started walking past Gabrielle and to the Trans Am, she just wanted to get back to the hotel. Gabrielle sighed, shaking her head and then followed Liz to the Trans Am.
Authors Notes: Uh oh, what's gonna happen between Liz and Dean now? You're just gonna have to wait until I put up part 2 ;)
Think I can get some reviews for this chapter? If I get at least 3 I'll update :)
