A/N: It has occurred to me that I mixed up my years. Andy is nine years old so she was actually born in 2005 BEFORE Jess dies in season 1. Ok that's all. :D On to the story! Read and Review!
Andy Noble
Andy woke up the next morning and for a moment, she didn't know where she was. Then she remembered; she was at with her new big brothers Sammy and Dean. And their funny friend Kevin.
She climbed out of bed and decided that she would take Amy the Bunny with her to breakfast. She walked out the door and followed the hallway until she reached the room she'd liked with lots of books and comfy chairs. Kevin was asleep at one of the tables and had ink all over his fingers. Andy looked curiously at the weird rock next to his arm. "Andy, what are you doing?"
She whirled around and saw Sammy standing there in pajama pants and a tight t-shirt. He looked wary and it made her feel like when her mom caught her sneaking a cookie from the cookie jar.
"Just looking. Why is Kevin asleep here and not in his room? I'm hungry Sammy. Will you make me breakfast? I want pancakes!"
Sam groaned and ran his hands through his major bedhead, instantly smoothing it. "We don't have pancake fixings. We have coffee and cereal. Guess what you're getting?"
"Cereal? Is it Coco Puffs? I like Coco Puffs!"
Sam chuckled and took her hand. "No it's Wheaties. Oh don't make that face Andy, they're good for you. And it's all we got right now. We haven't gone shopping in a while."
Andy pouted and then let out a long exhaling sigh. "Fiiiiiiine!" She skipped along beside Sam in order to keep up with his long strides. "Sammy, when do I have to go back to school?"
Sam frowned and shrugged as they entered the kitchen. "I don't know yet Andy. Dean and I haven't talked about it yet."
She pulled on his arm and Sam glanced down into her wide green eyes. "Do I have to go back?"
Sam laughed and picked her up, placing her on the counter. "Yes Andy. You will eventually go back to school." She pouted again and hugged Amy the Bunny to her chest. "Awww…."
Sam rolled his eyes and pulled out the milk and cereal. "Go eat Andy. Dean is taking you shopping today." She grinned and started shoveling food into her mouth. Sam stared at her and chuckled; she ate the same way Dean did, barely stopping breathe.
Andy finished her breakfast as Dean walked in heading straight for the coffee machine. "Good morning Dean," she said sweetly, smiling up at him. Dean glanced down at her and grunted, pouring his coffee. Andy's face fell and Sam quickly said, "Andy why don't you go wake up Kevin and get him to go back to his room. Then go get dressed so you and Dean can go shopping."
She nodded quietly and left the room, dragging Amy the Bunny behind her. Sam waited a few seconds then rounded on Dean. "What the hell dude?"
"What?"
"She's nine years old. Stop being an ass!" Dean scowled uncomfortably. "I'm not trying to be! I don't know how to act around little girls!"
"Try smiling you idiot."
Dean snorted derisively. "What do we have to smile about?"
"A little sister." They turned toward the door where Kevin stood quietly, leaning against the door frame. Dean had slightly panicked look on his face and asked, "Is Andy…?"
"She went to get ready for your little trip. Oh by the way, she's really nervous about that. She really wants you to like her, Dean."
A small, quirky half-smile flitted across his face, but then Dean cleared his throat. "Okay, well… I'll try not to be a grade A douchebag then."
Sam scoffed and poured his own cup of coffee. He took a sip and made a face. "Dean did you prep the coffee last night?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Stop putting booze in it." Dean glared at him and dug his flask out of his pocket. Kevin lunged forward and swiped. "What the hell Katniss?!"
"You're on babysitting duty today remember? No drinking in front of the nine year old!" Dean looked to Sam for help, but found no sympathy in his firm gaze. "Ugh…Fine."
Sam's lips twitched. Andy and Dean were far more alike than Dean would ever like to admit.
Andy sat in the front seat of the Impala, swinging her feet back and forth as she played with a loose thread on her skirt. Sammy had made her leave Amy and Samantha at home, so she was a little uncomfortable. Dean's car was awkwardly silent; he didn't dare put on any music. Little girls didn't like classic rock, right?
He cleared his throat. "So Andy… What do you like to do?"
She looked up at her older brother and mumbled something under her breath. "Sorry kid, I didn't catch that."
"I like to read and sing songs," she repeated, though she was barely audible over the rumbling of the engine. Dean winced as he reluctantly said, "Will you sing me a song?"
Andy blushed a little bit and swallowed. "What song?"
Dean suppressed a shudder of fearful anticipation of some Disney channel wannabe and said, "What's your favorite song?"
She was quiet for a minute, then started to sing softly.
When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
Anything your heart desires will come to you.
If your heart is in your dreams,
No request is too extreme.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true.
She stopped, her little nose wrinkling as she tried to remember what came next. Dean smiled in relief; classic Disney he could do. And he actually knew this one. He picked up where she left off.
Like a bolt out of the blue,
Fate steps in to see you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true.
Andy brightened up and joined him again.
Fate is kind.
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing!
Like a bolt out of the blue,
Fate steps in to see you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true.
Andy giggled happily and Dean grinned. "So you like Disney huh?"
"Uh-huh."
"Do you like the princesses?"
She nodded shyly. "Who's your favorite?"
"Belle! She's just like me! She likes to sing and read"
"Oh yeah?" He smiled down at her and then said, "Okay, we're here."
Andy tucked her legs underneath her and rose up on her knees to press her face against the window. "That mall is huuuuge!"
Dean rolled his eyes. "Okay Princess, let's get going." She quickly climbed out of the car and waited patiently for Dean to come around and take her hand. He hesitated for half a second, but Andy was a smart kid; she knew he was making an effort. So she grabbed his much larger hand in both of her tiny ones and dragged him across the parking lot. "I want to go to Limited Too first! Then Justice!"
Dean nodded agreeably, vaguely wondering what the hell Limited Too and Justice were.
Dean decided he never wanted to go to Limited Too ever again: they had unwholesome obsession with pink. Justice too.
But Andy was humming excitedly as she pranced in front of him in a frilly pink tutu and a bright yellow t-shirt, so he tried to look like he wasn't bored out of his mind.
"Dean, do I look pretty?" He stifled a groan and said, "Why don't you go put on something that matches Andy? I ain't buying you a tutu."
Andy sighed, then asked, "What about the shirt?"
He shrugged. "Shirt's fine."
She grinned again and dashed back into the dressing room. Dean leaned back in his seat and heaved a sigh of exasperation.
"What an affectionate father." The back of his neck prickled and he casually twisted in his chair, pretending to pop his back. Two women at a nearby clothes rack, one more matronly than the other, were observing him with interest.
"And rather good looking too," added the first lady. The second lady sniffed. "Oh come on, Mom. He clearly wishes he was somewhere else."
Dean frowned, hoping Andy couldn't hear her.
"Laurie," said the first woman disapprovingly. "I think it's nice that he's spending time with his daughter. Why don't you go over and introduce yourself?"
"No. I bet he's counting the seconds until he can leave." Of course he was! What red-blooded American male would want to be surrounded by this much pink?
"Oh come on! I bet he's single!"
"I'm sure he is. Everything about him screams single redneck playa." Okay this broad was beginning to piss him off. "Andy you okay in there?"
"Yeah! How's this?" She flung the curtain of the stall back and beamed. She had on a pink and blue plaid button-up and light blue capris. Dean smiled. "Just like me n Sammy huh?"
"See Mom? He's gay!" That was said quite a bit louder than the previous statements. Everyone turned to look back and forth between the pair of women and the siblings. Andy looked confused. "What does that mean?"
Dean rolled his eyes. "It's not important Andy. Got anything else to try on?"
She nodded and went back into the stall. Dean leaned back and said casually, "Oh and FYI lady, Sam and I are her brothers, not her parents. And neither of us are gay."
The woman turned a faint pink and stalked out of the store. Her mother smiled apologetically at Dean and followed. He glanced around the store and said mildly, "Show's over folks."
Andy came out again in the yellow t-shirt and some black jeans. Dean nodded approvingly and she said, "I have one more outfit and a ton of shirts and stuff. Ya know, to mix n match."
"Sounds great Princess. Show me whatcha got."
She darted back once more and came out in dark blue knee-length shorts and a black quarter-sleeve shirt that said, "I am a Princess" on the front in pink cursive. The P in princess was dotted with rhinestones. Dean laughed. "I like that one; grab all the ones you want and we'll go find you some pajamas, ok?"
She smiled happily and came back with an armload of brightly colored shirts, shorts and skirts in addition to her three outfits. Dean spotted the tutu under her arm and said, "Andy…"
"Okay I'll leave it," she grumbled, but her smile came back when her big brother pulled out a big wad of cash from one of his many hustled pool games. They went to several more stores where Dean bought her necessities such as shampoo and soap. She'd only had a toothbrush and hairbrush among the possessions in her backpack, so he also bought a little standing mirror for her bedside table and some hair accessories. Andy also chose a comforter set and an extra set of winter sheets for her bed. Dean also relented and bought her a sheer white princess canopy that would hang from the ceiling and drape over and around her headboard. A Beauty and the Beast alarm clock and a set of Tinker Bell pjs came from the local Disney store and Dean allowed her to pick one color of paint for her room. She chose a light lavender color and danced about excitedly as Dean paid for it all.
It was late when Dean pulled the Impala back in to the bunker, and Sam and Kevin came out to help carry Andy's purchases. "Cas stopped by earlier," muttered Sam as Dean handed him a bag of clothes. "We need to have a meeting once Andy's asleep."
Dean nodded. "C'mon Princess, time for bed." Sam raised an eyebrow at the new pet name but smirked when Dean took her hand and walked her back to her room.
"Making him do the shopping was genius Sam," said Kevin. He was also smirking at the elder Winchester's back.
"I try."
Dean made sure Andy brushed her teeth, remembering how Sam would always try and fake it. Before long, Andy was sitting in her bed, surrounded by her new blankets and comforter, in her new pajamas. "Okay Princess, go to sleep."
He was about to flick off the light when he heard her ask, "Dean, would you sing me something?"
He nodded and said, "I'm gonna sing you something my mom used to sing to me when I was a kid."
Sam leaned against the wall outside Andy's room, listening to Dean sing, "Hey Jude," and smiled.
"Dean," he heard Andy say sleepily. "I like that song."
"Me too Princess. Sleep tight." Dean flicked off the light and gave Sam a challenging look. "Well?"
"I didn't say anything."
"Keep it that way." They walked into the library where Kevin was waiting with Castiel. "So what did you find out?"
Castiel haled up a sheaf of paper. "I found her state records. Ten years ago, her mother worked at a bar in Minneapolis. She was often seen in the company of strange men. One of these men came to see her quite often. One of the other women that worked with Felicia said he had yellow contacts."
Sam's eyes narrowed. "Yellow contacts huh?" Dean growled. "Let's go Sam."
"Where are you going?" asked Kevin, looking up from the Demon Tablet.
"We're gonna go summon Crowley and get some answers."
