Lily didn't want to wait around the clinic. She walked until she found a bench. When the bus pulled up, she decided to get on. She rode a few blocks until she saw a park. It was a nice day, so decided to sit outside for a while. She got off the bus and walked to the park. She found a bench close to a swing set and watched the kids play for a few minutes before it became too much. She couldn't handle the idea of kids right now. She walked to a bench a little out of the way, tucked into some bushes. That was a better place to think.
Lily sat on that bench for about half an hour before her phone rang. She checked the caller ID. Dean.
"Hello?"
"Hey. We're coming to pick you up and bring you back, but we're gonna have to head back out."
"That's fine, but I'm not at the clinic."
"Where are you?"
"I went to a park nearby. I thought the fresh air would do me some good."
"Okay, we'll find you. Just hang tight. We're on our way."
Dean called her when he found the park and she made her way to the car. Her mind was racing. He saw her face as she got closer and he was worried. He told Sam to drive and they both got out of the car. Sam went over to the driver's seat. Dean jogged over to Lily.
"Are you okay? You look like you got some bad news."
"No, I'm okay. Just nauseous."
He opened the backseat door for her then went around to the other side and climbed in next to her.
"What did the doctor say?"
She had made up her mind before he called. She couldn't hesitate. "Stomach bug. It just has to pass. Good news is it's not contagious."
"At least it's nothing serious. You sure you don't wanna go home to Indiana?"
"Dean..."
"I'm just saying, you're sick. It would be a whole lot better if you had electricity and hot, running water."
She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I'll be better as long as I have you."
Dean pulled her into his arms and held her all the way back to their temporary home. Bobby was already there and had everything ready for the guys to head out again. Dean snuck a quick kiss goodbye, and they were gone. Lily sat down on the sofa and let a hand linger on her stomach.
"After the case is over," she whispered to the empty room. "I'll tell him. He'll ship me back to Indiana, but I'll tell him."
The guys came back later with a dead body. Sam warned her to stay out of the room, that it wasn't a pretty sight. She took his word for it. She smiled when Dean came in.
"How you feelin'?"
Her eyebrows scrunched together when she took a good look at him. "Not too bad. How about you? You look tired."
He plopped down next to her on the sofa. "I'm fine. You?" Lily just gave him a funny look. "I'm hungry," Dean said. "You hungry?" He got up and went back into the other room, leaving a very confused Lily. She followed him into the next room, but soon ran out after seeing the body that Sam and Bobby were cutting into.
"I warned her," Sam said.
The guys finished up with the body and decided to go out to get some food. With the body gone, Lily was feeling better, so she decided to go too. It was while they were at Biggerson's that Sam realized something was wrong with the sandwich Dean, and most everyone else in town, was eating. They got it wrapped up to go and took it back to the house. They stared at it for a while as they talked, and the sandwich eventually belched out a grey goo.
"I think you pissed off my sandwich," Dean said.
"That's disgusting," Lily said, fighting back the urge to vomit.
They decided to go back to Biggerson's and do some surveillance. Bobby had brought his van along on the trip, and they used it now. Dean was sleeping off his sandwich in the back, with Lily sitting next to him. Sam brought up the way Dean had been acting. Not just since the sandwich. Lily had to admit, if only to herself, that even since they admitted their love for each other, Dean was still drinking a little more than usual. Bobby eventually brought up Sam's hallucinations, and Lily realized that Dean was right. Sam would hide any problems he was having if he thought it would interfere with Dean's happiness. He was probably already hiding the extent of his problems, not wanting to add to whatever Dean was going through.
A meat delivery truck finally pulled in and dropped off some cartons. Bobby suggested they follow the truck back to wherever it came from. When they did, they found leviathan, including Edgar. It seemed that even a car being dropped on them wouldn't kill the leviathan. They watched as their waiter from Biggerson's was led into the building with a bag over his head.
They stayed and kept watch through the night and into the morning. Sam and Lily did a walk around the perimeter. As they walked back to the van, they saw long cars driving up. They jogged the rest of the way to the van and climbed in, pointing out the new cars. Dick Roman, one of the most powerful men in the country, stepped out of one.
Bobby decided they needed more information and pulled out some listening equipment, loaned to him by Frank Devereaux. Lily moved to follow him out of the van, but he stopped.
"Where you think you goin'?"
"With you."
"No you ain't. I have to stay in one place. I can hide better alone."
"Bobby..."
"Look, kid, I let you come along, you gotta let me go. I can't be worried about you out there."
Lily sat back in her seat, "Fine, but I don't like it."
"Nobody asked you to like it."
Bobby made his way to the roof and called Dean. He gave them a play by play of what he saw and heard. He had just told them that Dick Roman made the doctor eat himself when he suddenly stopped talking. Dean called his name, but they got no response.
"Let's go," Dean said. He and Sam opened their doors and Lily moved to climb out behind them. "You stay."
"What?"
"Get in the driver's seat and leave the engine running. We'll likely need a fast get away."
Lily nodded and sat behind the wheel. As Dean turned to go, Lily got a sinking feeling in her stomach, and it wasn't the nausea.
"Dean..."
"Huh?"
"Bring him back."
"We will."
She grabbed his hand. "Be careful."
"We'll do our best."
"I love you," she whispered.
The urgency slipped from Dean's face for a moment. He put his hand to her cheek and kissed her. "I love you, too."
She held his hand as he walked away, until it slipped from her own.
She waited, getting more and more nervous as the sun began to set. She got excited when she finally rsaw Sam and Dean run out of the building. She pulled out and went straight for them. As she got closer, she saw that Bobby wasn't with them. She stopped the van and they jumped in.
"Where's Bobby?!"
"He was right behind us!" Dean yelled. Sam climbed in the passenger seat, and Dean yelled when he saw Bobby run from the building. Dick Roman wasn't far behind, and he had a gun.
"Bobby, come on!"
He moved aside, between Lily and Sam, as Bobby jumped in, "Go, go!"
Lily peeled out and they all breathed a sigh of relief, until Dean turned to Bobby and found a bullet hole in his hat.
"Bobby?"
Sam turned and called out, "Bobby?"
Lily couldn't turn to look. "What's going on?"
"Get to a hospital!" Dean yelled. "Now!"
Lily pressed the accelerator into the floor. "What's wrong?!"
Sam held up Bobby's hat for Lily to see, and all she wanted to do was cry.
