Chapter 40

(Please read and then review. I do not own Supernatural or Twilight. Thanks!)

Bella peers over from the backseat. She narrows her eyes upon Jo's finger.

"SON OF A BITCH!"

Dean swerves a bit on the road.

"JESUS CHRIST SIS WHAT THE HELL?!"

Bella starts laughing and she grabs Jo's hand.

"D! You proposed!"

"Eh… yeah I did now. Would ya settler your ass down and sit!"

She giggles and runs her hand along the ring.

"Good eye bubba!"

Dean rolls his eyes. Jo smiles.

"That's a gorgeous ring. Did you steal it?!" She taunts with a wink and pats her brother on the shoulder.

She leans back in her seat with a genuine smile.

"I'll be damned my brother's tying the knot!"

"Yeah, yeah. Aren't preggers supposed to sleep a lot?"

"Hell if I know. I'm not tired. Actually, I feel a bit energized to be honest.

She reaches over and turns the radio up. Jo starts laughing as Bella blurts out the lyrics to For Whom The Bell Tolls right in her brother's ear.

"Knock it off will ya?"

Bella winks at Jo and steals Dean's bag of Twizzlers. She lays down in the back seat kicking back.

"So Bobby's gonna meet us at this hotel?"

"Yeppers."

She says chewing on one of the Twizzlers. She looks upon her boots knocking them together. Bella then looks to her ring and twirls it about. She swallows back and closes her eyes for a moment. Bella rolls over and tosses the Twizzlers back up front.

Dean pulls up to the hotel. Bobby's being dropped off just as they arrive. Bella smiles and waves the moment she sees him. As soon as Dean parks the car; Bella darts out and nearly knocks Bobby down. He chuckles.

"Easy on the old man kid."

He twirls her around and looks her over.

"You don't look knocked up."

She smiles whilst rolling her eyes.

"Easy Bobby… I'm only like a couple months along or so."

"So in about 7 months you'll be popping out a lil Winchester?"

"That's right Bobby."

"I'll be damned."

Bella looks to Jo in thought as she hugs Bobby.

"Jo and Dean got some news too."

"And what kind of news would that be?"

Jo flashes her new engagement ring.

"Holy shit!"

Dean scratches the back of his neck.

"Well shoot. Have you told your mother yet?"
"Not yet."

Bobby chuckles.

"That'll be interesting."

Bobby looks to Jo and Dean.

"Well congratulations you too. If you're gonna be hunting together might as well tie the knot."

Dean smiles.

"I agree."

"Well guess I'm shacking up with you kiddo." He looks to Bella.

"Sounds good to me." She says with a shrug.

"Kind of gross Bobby…" Dean smarts.

"Watch yourself idjit."

"And I'm marrying you because?"

"I'm devilishly handsome and you don't ever turn down a Winchester."

Jo grins and looks to Bella.

"Well hell I'm glad you didn't propose!"

Bella laughs.

"I won't lie I was tempted. Blondes are more my brother's speed."

"First things' first let's get our rooms then pick one to meet in. Time to see what we can do about breaking into Hell and out of Heaven. Words I never thought I'd have to use."

"Ditto." Bella says with an ill expression.

The four of them sit at the table in Dean and Jo's hotel room. Bella twirls the horseman's ring around in her hand.

"So one down three to go?" Bobby questions.

"Yeah and without Cass it's no cakewalk. Not that it was before." Dean mentions.

Bobby leans back.

"So how the hell do we find the other three?"

"Oh simple we just go to a place where there is war, a place of plaques. Then Death should be bouncing around somewhere between the two wouldn't you think?" Bella says with full sarcasm and agitation.

"Mood swings already?"

Bella rolls her eyes and flips her brother off.

"Look I'm gonna get a soda or something."

"Um ok…" Dean says with a shrug.

Bobby narrows his eyes as she steps outside. Jo shakes her head and smacks Dean in the back of the head.

"What was that for?"
"You know damn well what that was for."

Bella digs into her pocket and starts to put in the quarters.

"RUN!"

Her eyes widen and she gasps.

"RUN AND HIDE!"

Bella takes off without even looking. Her heart races as she tries to think. She rolls under a nearby eight wheeler. She peers out and see's several people walking around. She swallows back nervously. She closes her eyes for a moment trying to calm down her breathing so they can't hear her.

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

"Cass?" She whispers in a panic.

"Dagger left achilles heel. Then run straight ahead don't look back."

Bella takes in a breath. She looks over and drives the dagger into the heel. She rolls back out and takes off running again. Bella hadn't a clue where she was going.

"What am I dealing with Cass?"

"Demons..."

She half laughs, but keeps running. She comes to a stop though as there are more ahead of her. Bella turns back and see's she surrounded.

"Cass…"

Bella looks around for a way out.

"There's no other choice."
"What do you mean Cass baby…" She says feeling panicked now.

"You must fight! They're not here to kill you. He just wants to frighten you. In hopes you will cave. Three o clock!"

Bella swings back the blade with all she has. She twirls around as another one comes to the side. She gets slammed back by another against the hood of a car.

She jabs the blade into his throat. Bella quickly rolls off the car. The morning sickness was hitting something fierce. She takes off down an alley. She leans back against the wall.

"Dammit…" Bella uttered in misery. Now wasn't the time to be getting sick.

"Let me guess Lucifer?"
"Yes."

She nods.

"He wishes to apprehend you, but he cannot."

"Cass…" She whispers softly.

Cass says nothing as she continues to duck out of sight.

"Cass… Not feeling so great…" She warns feeling it hitting even heavier.

Her body was clammy, she felt overheated, and faint brushed over her.

"You are safe for now. Keep the dagger on you at all times."

She nods and looks up to the sky. Bella puts her hands upon her tummy.

"Are you even going to say anything about our baby?!"

"The child will live." He demands with sternness.

She shuts her eyes for a moment.

"The child…?" She utters shaking her head.

Bella sinks back against the wall.

"Last I checked it was OUR child."

She fires bitterly. Her body begins to give out on her as she lies against the asphalt. Her eyes come to a close.

"Fuck this one's all kinds of ready…'
"What do ya think a druggy? Drunk maybe?"

The guy shrugs and starts to unzip his pants. The other two keep a look out.

"Hurry up, before she wakes man we each want a turn."

The guy nods and leans down. His hand goes to her zipper and her knee comes up with great force. She quickly rolls over and puts her dagger to the thug's throat.

"I'm about to fuck up your entire weekend."

The other guys start to come to their friend's defense. Bella keeps the knife to him, but takes out her gun aiming their direction.
"I take that back I'm about to fuck up your entire lives!"

The guy's eyes widen.

"Something wrong?"

They shake their heads and take off running. Bella grits her teeth and forces up the one in her grasp. She shakes her head and puts her blade back up. Her gun goes back into the back of her jeans. The guy goes to take off. She yanks him back and shoves him against the wall. She punches him in the gut. The man bows over. She then puts her hand to his chest bracing him back up.

She swings again.

"You like being a piece of shit low life rapist?! IS THAT IT?!"

He swings back and Bella dodges and slams her fist against his jaw. He cries out in pain and falls to the ground. She kicks the shit out of him once he's down.

"Wrong girl asshole! Better luck next time!" She starts to walk away only she grits her teeth once again and kicks him in the gut once more.

"You were right I was ready!"

Bella walks back trying to remember her way back. Once she finds the hotel. She enters her and Bobby's room. She throws off her jacket. The Impala was gone she knew they'd gone looking for her. Bella sighs and grabs her phone from the table. She'd wished she had it earlier.

"BELLS WHERE THE HELL ARE YA?"

She sighs and plops back on the bed.

"Back at the hotel."

"Thought you just went to get a damn soda! We've been looking damn near everywhere! You've been gone for hours!"

Bella nods and hangs up.

"What the fuck?!" Dean looked to the phone like it bit him.

"She just fucking hung up on me!"

Bobby sighs shaking his head. Bella rises up. She felt the anger coursing through her. She was trying her hardest to keep it back. She looked upon her hands; realizing that the thug's blood was on them. She shut her eyes for a moment. Bella almost took his life. All that went through her mind is how the world would be better off; one last rapist. When she took out that gun she'd half the mind to shoot all three of them. She came back to her feet. Bella head into the bathroom she scrubbed the blood from her hands. Then looked into the mirror to see she had some on her face as well. Her hands gripped the sink in thought. She began to roughly scrub at her face. The anger was only continuing to build.

"The child…" She mocked in his voice and shook her head in thought.

The way he said it… So cold feeling. It was like how he sounded when they first met. She pinched her eyes closed in thought. Was Cass already losing touch with his humanity? She sucked back a breath and looked into the mirror.

"Cass?"

She continued to stare into the mirror.

"Cass baby…" She called again.

She sighed and half laughed. She shut her eyes and nodded.

"Guess that makes two of us…" She utters and exits the bathroom.

Just as she comes out Bobby enters the room.

"Where the hell have you been kid?"

"Drinking a soda for 4 hours straight whattaya think Bobby?"

"Don't get smartalic with me kid. You had us worried!"

She sighs.

"Had a nice little visit with some demons. Then I decided I was tired so I took a nap in an alleyway. Then I had a date with three lovely gentlemen. After all that I decided I needed some fresh air so I walked back to the hotel."

"Jesus kid."

"Yep."

She sits on one of the chairs at the table. She then kicks her feet out about the table. Bella folds her arms about. Bobby shakes his head as he looks upon her.

"You're becoming too much like your damn brother."

"And what's wrong with that?"

Bobby sighs.

"I'm just afraid you're letting this swallow you whole Bella. You need to remember who you are."

Bella softly laughs.

"I'm hunter. Trust me how could I ever forget. That's all there is. All there will ever be!"

Bobby rears back at this.

"Since when do you talk like that? You've always been about the hunt."

"I need to face the facts. My husband is an angel of the Lord. I'm a hunter. Two different things. He's got his job I got mine."

"Jesus are you even listening to yourself?! And what would your husband say if he were right here listening to this coming from your mouth?"

"The hell if I know. What do I know anymore?!"

Bobby shakes his head.

"GOD DAMN ISABELLA WINCHESTER!"

"That's right Bobby GOD DAMN!"

"Keep that attitude up ya idjit and see how Castiel feels when he manages to find his way back!"

She winces at his words. She brings her legs back down.

"You're the only damn Winchester that ever had any real amount of faith. Whattaya think drove the angel's appeal to ya in the first place?"

Her bottom lip quivers as she looks to the floor.

"I'm mad at him Bobby. Take that back I'm PISSED!"

"Come on now kid be fair. You know this wasn't his choice."

"I'm trying I really am. It's just…"

"Just what?"

She puts her hand upon her stomach.

"What if he doesn't feel the same Bobby?"

Bobby nods and leans back in thought.

"I don't see that happening. If anything that man will be damn near inseparable from ya once he gets back."

"Only he's no longer a man."

"Why are you doubting your relationship now? This doesn't even sound like you."

Dean enters the room with Jo.

"Why the hell did you hang up on me Bells!"

"D…" She says exasperatedly.

"Nah, that shit don't' fly with me! And you know that!"

Jo locks eyes with Bella. She makes her way over and takes her hand.

"Let's go. Time for a little girl gathering."

"What?" Dean says with coerce.

"Get your stuff. Bella's mine tonight."

"What kind of freaky ass shit…."

Jo cuts him a death stare.

"Fine!" He grabs his stuff cursing under his breath the entire time.

He enters the hotel with Bobby. Bobby chuckles under his breath.

"What you afraid you're not getting laid tonight idjit?"

Dean looks to him and fires back.

"Actually that's exactly what I'm afraid of!"

Bobby nods and pops open a beer.

"Guess you're about to find out son."

"AHHHHH!" Dean covers his ears and storms off to the bathroom.

Bobby dies laughing as he slams the door shut. Bobby's cell goes off and he answers.

Once he gathers the information he looks back towards the girls hotel next door. He sighs and makes his way to the bathroom. He knocks on the bathroom.

"Hurry up with the beautifying idjit. I got leads to one of the horsemen. But we gotta move fast!"

Dean steps out in a towel.

"Jesus kid! Ever heard of tanning?!"

Dean looks down to his chest.

"I'm tanned."

Bobby laughs.

"Nah, that's no tan. I don't know what the hell that is. Hell it might be a rash. Maybe, you should get that thing checked out!"

Dean rears back and pokes at his abs.

"Whattaya mean I'm not tanned are you blind old man? And what rash?!"

Bobby chuckles and grabs the keys. He looks back to Dean with a serious expression.

"The girls stay out of this one. Just you and I."

Dean cuts him an odd glare.

"Trust me kid ya don't want your pregnant sister involved in this one. I've left them a note. Other than that they're not to know we're gone just yet."

Dean shrugs and heads back into the bathroom. He hurriedly gets dressed.

"I remember when we used to do this all the time."

Bella smiles as she and Jo are under the covers with a flashlight.

"Yeah you'd tell me ghost stories trying to scare the shit outta me."

Jo laughs.

"You were a brat. Nothing scared you. Well except for…"

"Anything with wings…" Bella says with a sigh.

"Yep."

"I think the fear maybe returning."

Jo looks to her peculiarly.

"And why is that?"

Bella shrugs and starts to make shadow puppets under the covers.

"He's coming back you know that right?"

"I don't think that's my main concern now."

"Then what is it?"

"What if he's not the Cass we know anymore."

"You mean what if he's Castiel angel of the Lord instead of Cass Winchester the hunter?"

Bella nods. Jo smiles.

"Think of it like this. If so… you get to experience falling in love all over again. There's not a doubt in my mind that once Castiel lays his eyes on Isabella Winchester; he's gonna be head over heels all over again. You two were meant to be. Anyone in their right mind can see that. And you need to remember… Who was it you feel in love with Bella? The angel or the man? Or just the presence itself?"
