Grandpa Singer

Bobby came down to drop her off the blue mustang she and Dean had started to work and visit for a little bit, being as he hadn't seen the place yet. "You idjits really gonna adopt?" Bobby asked, still unsure that he heard them right.

"Yeah, got the spare room cleaned out" Ashley said, as if that made this whole thing official. "Grandpa Bobby's got a nice ring to it, don't ya think?" she grinned from her seat at the kitchen table.

"How are you fools going to support yourselves and a kid? What about school and hunting?" Bobby barked at the boys, knowing Sam should have been the one to think about that part of the plan.

"I'm going to home school it, with Ashley's help when I'm on a hunt." Sam explained "and the house came with baby stuff and a bunch of money that we haven't even tapped into."

"I tell ya Bobby, this family really liked us" Dean chuckled from where he was learning against the kitchen counter.

Bobby was surprised they had thought of the more important things, so he surrendered and simply congratulated the Winchesters on the new addition. "Well I tracked down a case here in Texas, ya'll want it?" Bobby asked after he took another swig of his beer.

"Uh, I'll look at it" Sam said getting up to follow Bobby to the truck he drove here.

"It's just a ghost ganking poor sons of bitches while they are taking a shower" Bobby shrugged as he handed the manila envelope over to the smart giant.

"Psycho killings- man Dean is gonna love this" Sam chuckled, as he thumbed through the file "Yeah, we'll take it, thanks Bobby."

Bobby nodded as he piled back in his truck and handed Sam his half-drunk beer "just make sure you bring the kid by" he instructed Sam.

"'Course Bobby" Sam answered back as the seasoned man pulled out of the driveway.

Sam was right, as soon as he said killed in the shower Dean lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. Ashley was happy to go because she was itching to go on a hunt since they got back from New York. This was going to be the hardest change on Ashley- she would get stir crazy, but maybe she could switch out with her brothers on the easy cases around home every once in a while.

Dean finally pulled into a motel in Madesa and started cleaning the shot guns, while Ashley pulled out the newly packaged rock salt rounds she worked on before they left. Sam figured out the ghost they were hunting once was a Scott Keith, who worked for the water company and drowned in the city's water supply, when his mistress came and pushed him because he wouldn't leave his wife.

"So what, now he's drowning skanky women while they shower?" Dean asked, confirming the story in his head. Sam only nodded in response, enjoying Dean's facial expression.

"Well, this will be one hell of a case, how are we going to get to it?" Ashley mumbled.

"We'll I have a theory he gets into the showers through the pipes, so I follow him, figure out what house he's going to. Ash protects the chick while Dean salt and burns him" Sam informed the other hunters of his plan.

"Sure" Ashley and Dean chorused.

Dean got tossed against a headstone and had his knife go into his side by the ghost of Scott, it was lucky that Sam came out of the sewer to toss in the matches for his brother. Ashley met the boys back at the motel with a bottle of cheap vodka to clean Dean's wound.

"It's a stab wound, we can't stitch it De" Ashley apologized, as she poured even more alcohol onto his side.

"Yeah I know," he groaned at the burn the alcohol left "just cover it up good" he barked.

"Dean, I know" Ashley said stiffly "I'm not incompetent!"

"Right, sorry" Dean sighed at the relief the butterfly bandages offered his side.

Ashley quickly finished bandaging Dean's side and asked Sam to check his head for a concussion so she could take a shower. Dean was always pissy when he got hurt on a hunt by his own weapon, so she went to cool off before she kicked him in his side. Ashley was clearly upset because she had steamed up the bathroom and Sam even came in to check and make sure she was alright.

"Yeah, sorry Sammy. Almost done" she apologized for giving him the cause when she caused it. When she finally came out of the now sauna, Dean was already asleep and Sam was watching something on TV just to pass the time. Ashley walked over to the outside edge of Sam's bed and curled up under the stiff motel sheets next to her larger brother. "Sorry I scared you to the point where you felt you need to check up on me."

Sam was confused as to why Ashley had climbed into his bed, but he guessed it was because of the comment Dean made. "No, I pushed you towards the blade and barely got there to save you in time" Sam apologized.

Ashley smiled up at her brother, then rolled over to her other side, where she gave into sleep. Couple hours later, Dean woke Ashley up to remind her that his bandage needed to be changed. Dean was right, the gauze was red and yellow from the drainage seeping out. Ashley moaned at the required energy and told Dean to bring everything to her. Once Dean was bandaged up again, Ashley laid back down and closed her eyes, but Dean was still sitting on the edge of her side of the bed.

"What?" she groaned as she opened up one eye.

"Why you over here?" Dean murmured feeling hurt.

"You took up the bed, Sam was still up. I just didn't feel like sleeping on the floor" she shrugged. "Can I please go back to bed now?"

"Yeah, night Ash" Dean said as he stood up to go back to his own bed.

Dean was still awake when the early morning sun started to flood the room. Both of his siblings were sleeping like babies. Baby-where were they with this whole adoption process? He slowly made his way over to Sam's laptop and opened it up and checked the email account.

*One New Message*

Dean opened up the message and saw it was the adoption agency closest to their home- they were approved and now able to walk in for an interview Dean wasn't sure how he really felt about having a kid running around the house.

Dammit, he wanted to be a father, and in a way he would be- but so would Sam and the "mom" would be Ashley. It was weird, but it was the only way to get Ashley out of the life.

Sam finally woke up and saw Dean sitting in front of the laptop. "Dean?" Sam asked sitting up.

"Hey Sammy, you hungry?"

"Uh, sure. We gonna stop somewhere before we go back home?"

"Yeah, gotta eat right?" Dean said closing the laptop "Wake her up, we leave in an hour."
