Part 7:

Kae didn't talk much when she woke up as they pulled into their new motel in Missouri the next day. What she did do was slam the door to her room in their faces and refuse to talk to either of them.

"You can't avoid them forever, you know."

Kae had been watching Sam and Dean pull out of the parking lot through the closed blinds when Cas decided to make an appearance.

"What did I say about knocking, Cas?" she snapped without looking away from the window.

"Your safety overrides politeness." Cas responded. "Dean asked me to watch you."

"Did he?"

"He and Sam are checking into a case. If you wish to join them, I can transport you there."

"Why bother?" Kae flopped down on her bed. "They'll kill me."

"No they won't."

"Cas you heard Zachariah didn't you?"

"I did...but why should that be of import? How many times have you told him no before?"

Kae closed her eyes and sighed. "Too many."

Cas settled himself into the desk chair, not taking his eyes off of her. "Why did he pick you?"

Kae rolled onto her side and stared hard at him. "How should I know?"

Cas rolled his eyes. "Are you blind? It's fate, Kaelyn."

"There's no such thing as fate," she sat up. "Get out, Cas. Now."

"Kae -"

"Out!" She yelled.

He was gone in a flash.

"Okay so we're not killing her."

"Was that even an option?"

Dean shrugged and took a bite of the bacon on his plate. "Two years ago? I dunno...maybe. But now - no." he paused. "We're gonna need her help to kill the devil."

Sam nodded. "But first we need to talk to her. About everything, alright?"

Dean nodded. "Yeah. Everything." he looked in his pocket for his wallet when their waitress brought them the bill. As he looked up, about to leave one of his alias credit cards on the table, he saw Cas standing in front of their table. "What?!"

Cas sat down at the empty chair.

"It's Kae."

"Hello again."

Kae sucked in a long breath and turned around to see Lucifer standing in front of her. He looked different - or at least his vessel did.

"Who are you using this time?" she asked.

"Guy's name is Nick." he responded. "That's all I know...all I care to know."

Kae took in her surroundings. She was not in her motel room - instead Lucifer had created a large meadow, much like the one Gabriel had transported her to.

"Answer's still no," she said flatly.

"Oh come on, Princess." he strode forward and extended one hand forward. Kae let out a choking noise as she looked down in horror to see her stomach expanding.

No. Nonononononononononononono.

"Don't worry," he said with a small smile. "This isn't the real thing. As you've told me on numerous occasions, you're infertile...but I could fix that. If you let me, that is."

"Never." Kae snarled.

He chuckled at that. "Never say never, Kae."

"Kae? Kae wake up." Someone was shaking her. She slowly opened her eyes to see Dean, Sam, and Cas in the room. Sam had his hand on her shoulder and he looked concerned. "Cas said you kicked him out."

Kae gave Cas a dirty look. "Asshole." she muttered before looking at Sam. "Lucifer came to see me again."

"He was here?" Dean looked around the room uneasily.

"Technically," Kae remembered her stomach and looked down, hands shaking as she brought them to her mercifully flat stomach and sighed with relief. "He was in my dream. 'S how he normally does it." God she felt sick to her stomach. "Sam could you uh...get me a glass of water? Please?"

Sam nodded and moved quickly to fulfill her request. Dean waited until she had the cheap paper cup in hand and had drunk a few mouthfuls before he asked his question.

"Look Princess - Kae -" he said hastily, noting her warning expression at the nickname. "We uh, we need to talk alright?"

"About?"

"Everything."

Thoughts? As always, no flames please.
