Thank you guys for all the lovely reviews so glad you's are enjoying the story. So bit of a filler chapter for the next one but some nice fluff Sam?Charley and some Dean/Jess lovein coming up soon in the story I promise :-)

Charley woke up in the morning still wrapped up in Sam's warm embrace, cuddling down into him and listened to his heart beat. Charley happily stayed were she was until the unbearable call of nature made her move. She eased out of his arms careful not to wake him, struggling at first because all he did was pull her closer, making her smile.

Stretching as she walked to the bathroom in nothing but her birthday suit, Charley smiled pleasantly at the lovely aches in her body from their love making last night. Looking at herself in the mirror while she was washing her hands she could see the goofy loved up smile on her face, god Jess is going to know something happened just by looking at me. But Charley didn't care, she was so happy, when her and Jess had ended up here all she thought about was when or how they were going to get home but now, I mean she had too much to leave behind and Jess said that Babd and Athena were there for their families if there was something really wrong at home they'd know.

Charley started up the shower waiting a minute or so before standing in and cracked open the door a small bit so Sam would know where she was. She sighed at the warm water hitting her sensitive skin, while soaping herself up she could see little love bits flowering on her chest, not anything someone would see but it gave her a little thrill knowing they were there.

Sam's warm arms wrapped around her waist from behind, Charley squeaked out of surprise she hadn't even heard him come in. He pulled her close and nuzzled his face into her neck, still, it seemed, fairly sleepy.
"Morn'in Sam" she laughed at the grunt he gave her, Sam was still trying to wake up so Charley turned in his arms and pulled him under the water spray.

"Hay..." Sam exclaim, getting a face full of water, he was definitely awake now, Charley full out laughing at the pout on his face.

"Aw...I'm sorry" she cooed pinching his cheek, Sam scrunch up his nose at her trying to keep a smile away but couldn't.

"Not your not" he murmured pressing his lips to hers and sighing with content as she kissed him back. Sam hummed into the kiss running his hands all over her water slicked skin, the warmth of the shower and Charley in his arms getting him hot and heavy. Not able to help himself Sam pulled her flush against his front their bodies touching from top to bottom, Charley moaned.

"Sam..." she sighed running her finger through his hair, Sam groaned and pushed her against the wall, the two of them getting lost in each other in their morning shower.

After their session in the shower Charley and Sam text Jess and Dean letting them know that they would walk and get breakfast then go back to their room. Dean woke up to the sound of his phone buzzing on the bedside table, he noticed that Jess wasn't in the bed next to him and sat up. He could hear retching coming from behind the bathroom door, he shot from the bed and tried opening the door finding it locked.

"Jess!" he raised a fist to the door and started knocking "Jess? Are you ok in their?"

"Hang on" he heard a faint reply, the water running for a minute then the lock clicking open.
Jess stood swaying in front of him a faint sheen of sweat on her skin, her cheeks flushed and her eyes bruised from what seemed like lack of sleep.

"Hay..." she said her voice cracking

"Jessie what's wrong?" he said reaching out for her and pulling her unsteady form into the circle of his arms. She burrowed into his chest feeling better him helping her stand, and shook her head.

"Stupid tetanus shots and anti-biotic are obviously getting something out of my system, so guess I'm gonna be like this for a day or two" she said slowly, showing Dean just how exhausted she was.

"How long were you up Jess?" Dean asked feeling a little put out that she hadn't woke him.

"Only up out of the bed this once this morning Hotstuff, I swear. But felt the fever hit about three hours ago" Jess was still swaying on her feet so Dean decided she was in bed for the day, he hoisted her up in his arms and carried her back to the bed.

"You are in bed for the day" he said firmly and pulled the blankets around her, placing a hand on her head he frowned at the feel of her temperature "Maybe we should take you back to the hospital?" Dean thought out load

"No honest if there was an infection from the cuts on my hands it's just getting it out of my system if I still have a bad temperature tomorrow then we can go to the hospital, ok?" she answered tired and looked so small all curled up in the blackest with her flushed face. Dean sighed, crouching down he nodded and creased her cheek softly, smiling when she leaned into it.

"Ye alright, we'll just keep check on it. But if it gets any worse Jess no arguments we go to the hospital. And you need to keep your fluids up even if you don't eat today, you missed enough"
She nodded agreeing but couldn't keep her eyes open and drifted off to sleep after giving Deans palm a kiss. He stood and breathing a tried sigh he went to have his own shower, getting out just as Charley and Sam knocked on the door with breakfast.

"Hay Dean" Charley bounced into the room and looked questioningly at Jess still being in bed, she was never one for sleeping in but considering what she'd been through it was understandable.

"She was throwing up this morning..." Charley's face fell hearing what Dean said "...has a temperature too. But she had the tetanus and anti-biotic for the cuts in her hand if she still sick tomorrow we're going back to the hospital"
"Damn..." Sam exclaimed "...she just can't get a break"

"We won't be getting out of this town today" Charley murmured disappointed she loathed staying here it being the place Jess was taken and the fact not all the people responsible were caught was making her uneasy. Sam looked at her questioningly. "Sorry, I just hate the idea of staying here when not all those guy were caught" she shrugged, Dean and Sam nodding. They had the same thoughts, although Dean's idea ranged in more the area of hunting the sons of bitches down and gutting them but that would mean leaving Jess when she was sick and he wasn't willing to do that.

Jess was feeling better the morning after, no vomiting but just tired, her stitches were fine and looked clean so the group packed up and high tailed it out of town, eager to get away. As they drove across a long quite stretch of road, two brothers in the front, Jess and Charley in the back, Charley had her head on Jessie's shoulder still relieved she had her back but also noticing the temperature she still obviously had. Dean kept glancing in the rear view mirror, Sam turning himself around every once and a while to talk to Charley and Jess, the brother's could see Jess still wasn't right as well.

After a few hours on the road Dean pulled into a gas station to fill up the Impala while Sam went it to grab some snacks for the rest of the drive. Jess was eager to get to the tree she really wanted to find out why Badb and Athena hadn't come to her the nights she'd prayed to them. She was still scared of everything that they had told her and she had a horrible feeling that it wasn't going to get any better.

Jess had pointed out how many days they'd lost because of what happened and insisted she was well enough for them to drive the rest of the way. So they pushed on for the rest of the day reaching a small town that was on the out skirts of the reserve where the tree was. The others had snacked on a few sandwiches Sam had got, Jess still not feeling up to eating hadn't touched hers which didn't go unnoticed by anyone.

They set themselves up in their rooms, Sam and Charley going into Jess and Deans to figure out their next move, Dean however put his foot down when Jess wanted to go to the reserve that night.

"No Jess, you're still sick, you haven't eaten and we don't know what way this place is laid out, so no. Not tonight"

"Dean's right Jess, the necklace will still be there after you get a bit of strength back and we figure out how we're going to do this" Charley added

"There's no way we'll be able to do this in daylight, with it being a reserve any sort of they'll have everything on the place protected" Sam said

Jess sighed resigned to the fact that it was three against one and for good reason, they were right she was still sick and they needed to do the research. So determined to have the answers they needed she plopped down at the table and booted up the lap top. Dean raised a brow at Charley and pursed his lips shaking his head no. He went and grabbed some pain pills from his bag, filled a glass of water and went back to Jess.

"Jess, you are doing nothing tonight but sleeping the rest of this off" He shoved the tablets into her hand and waited for her to swallow them making sure she finished the water after.

"I can do research Hotstuff, it's just sitting here" she argued, all three of her companions looking at her with unimpressed expressions, "I'll be ok..."

"Jessie babe, just go lie down" Charley said exasperated and pointed to the bed, Jess was pale and had dark circles under her eyes she needed rest, Dean was about to step forward and throw her over his shoulder to get her to move but she stood up.

"Alright, I'm going, I'm going" she said smiling at them affectionately and after five minute of lying down she was out cold.

Charley sighed and sat down on the bed next to Jess, combing her hair out of her face, it kinda felt like this world was picking on Jess, I mean she's had all sorts of supernatural stuff practically stalk her. Then the kidnapping and she was shot, Charley still felt a sick roll in her stomach thinking about that, if it had been just two inches higher Jess wouldn't be here at all. Sam glanced at Dean flicking his eyes to the girls on the bed, both of them were thinking the same thing in regards to Jess.

Sam and Charley stayed with Dean till late that evening searching the information site on the reservation, looking for security details and everything else. Jess was still asleep and had only woken up to eat, shower and sleep again. Sam and Charley left after Jess was settled again, Dean went in for a quick shower, trying really hard not to think about Jess stretched out on the bed in the other room, it seems when it came to her it really didn't take that much for him to get hot and heavy.

Sighing he towelled himself off and slipped a pair of sweats on, Jess was fast asleep not stirring when he slid into the bed next to her. He wriggled closer to her carefully slipping an arm under her pillow and one over her waist pulling her into his chest.

Dean's mind was running a mile a minute thinking about all this magical aura crap and her being the one to lock Lucifer away again. That had to involve them getting close to him and having either of those two girls anywhere near him terrified Dean. Jess snuggled her face into his neck making him smile and pull her closer, she was still asleep but place a sweet kiss on his chest making his breath hitch at the gesture. Deciding that it could wait until they at least had the necklace in hand, he buried his nose in her hair and fell asleep inhaling her sweet scent.

Sam woke up the next morning spooning Charley back to his chest, she was tracing small patterns on his forearm, he squeezed her closer to show her he was awake.

"Morn'in Sam" Charley giggled

"Morning" Sam mumbled into the crook of her neck, giving it a quick peck. They had decided to go see the reserve today so Sam knew they were in a bit of a rush, he wanted to stay in bed with Charley all day. He groaned and pulled her close to him, she giggled again knowing full well they had slept in and had to get up.

"Come on, we better get up" Charley went to untangle herself from Sam's arms, he huffed and pouted at her when she turned around, making her laugh again.

"How can you be so happy in the morning?" he groaned

"Aw, come on Sam..." Charley coaxed, she skipped up from the bed and made her way to the bathroom pulling off her t-shirt and slipping her PJ bottoms down. Looking back at Sam, he wasn't pouting anymore, but had his gaze fixed on her.

"Come shower with me?" she asked sweetly. Sam smiled and shook his head.

"Alright I can see a plus to being a morning person" Sam said following her into the bathroom and stripped off his sweats joining her in the shower. They were gentle with each other, lathering up soap and cleaning each other down, wanting to take it further but knowing Dean and Jess would be up and waiting for them.

A few minutes later they were dried, dressed and knocking on Dean and Jessie's door. To Charley's relief Jess opened the door with a good morning smile.

"Morn'in Charley girl, Sam"

"Hay Jess, so are you feeling better?" Sam asked

"Yup, slept like the dead last night and woke up fresh as a daisy this morning" she beamed finally happy with being herself again. Dean couldn't help but smile at Jessie's energetic self this morning, when he woke up she was still asleep but after a few minutes she had come to, greeting him with a passionate kiss. He could feel the heat rise to his cheeks thinking about it, schooling his expression he grabbed his keys and jacket.

"Right breakfast" smiled Dean

They pulled into a nice homely looking cafe that was about 5 miles from where the reserve started, ordering their food and waiting patiently, well some of them.

"Dean shooting the cook dirty looks isn't going to make him cook it quicker" Jess sniggered

"I'm starving, man"

"You keep looking at him like that and he might spit in your food" Sam added smiling at Dean's pout, Charley giggling.

"That dude better not ruin my food" Dean grumped

Eventually their food was brought to them, Dean humming happily when he took the first bit of the greasy mess on his plate.

"Alright so, we just go and find our tree today see what the area is like" Sam said sipping on the last of his coffee

"Did you find out what the story was on security?" Jess asked, Charley nodding before she answered
"Ye, seems like there's a load of ranger stations posted in and around the park, from the co-ordinates we have of where the tree is the closest one to it is about half a mile, so no flash lights when we're digging"

"Ok, doesn't seem too bad, can't be as hard as the bracelet anyway" Jess laughed

Once everyone was finished up they headed out, there was a place to park the car and grab a tourist map at one of the ranger stations. When they parked up, Charley went in to buy a map smiling at the little ding the door gave when she walked in.

"Hi, how can I help you?" a female ranger asked sweetly, Charley internally cringed at her over chipper attitude and too big fake smile.

"Hi can I get a map of the reserve please?" Charley asked nicely

"Of course you can" the woman answered in a very fake enthusiastic voice and handed Charley a map and taking the money for it.

"Are there many of you here to see the beautiful landscape today?" Charley tried to keep a polite smile on her face but this woman's attitude was kind of starting to annoy her.

"Just four of us" she smiled

"Oh..." the woman glanced out the side window and spotted three other people by a black car and Charley could practically see her demure change, the over preppy face turning into a slow curve of her lip, she turned back to Charley.

"I'll be finished in here in 5 minutes I could accompany you on your walk, show you all the best spots" the woman finished as a statement not even asking so sure of her charm she was until Charley declined.

"No thank you, I'm sure we'll manage..."

"Oh I insist..." Charley didn't like this woman's change in pace when she obviously saw Sam and Dean

"We're on a double date, so no thank you" taking the map Charley quickly walked back to the car chuckling as she did.

"What's so funny Baby girl?"

"That woman ranger just had that weird stepford wives crazy vibe off her and kinda took to one or both of you" she giggled

"How'd you know that?" Sam asked fidgeting uncomfortably

"Her over chipper personality did a smooth 180 when she was you two. Even said she'd come with us"

"Well we better move then cause I just seen her grab her coat" Dean murmured

And sure enough as soon as they turned to start walking the ranger jogged up to their small group, huge fake smile in place. Sam looked at her, he could admit she was attractive, taller than Jess and Charley, long chocolate brown hair with the skin tone to match and a nice smile but she was no Charley, he slid an arm around Charley's waist.

Dean gave the girl his own once over and had the same line of thinking as Sam, but she was not Jess and taking a leaf out of Sammy's book slung an arm over Jessie's shoulder.

"Well hi again..." the ranger said "...I never did get to introduce myself, I'm Tammy" she held out her hand to Charley first then the boys not even bothering to shake Jessie's after that. "Why don't I show you some of our most popular spots near the station" Tammy said and walked in front of the group expecting them to follow.

Dean glance at Charley "Crazy stepford vibe, sounds about right" he whispered Charley nodding in agreement

"I'm sorry Miss..." Sam stopped her

"Tammy" she cut in

"Right, Tammy. We were actually going to go on our own..." Sam said sweetly, she beamed a too wide smile at him.

"Oh no I insist there are so many nice place's I can make sure you use your day to its full potential" she started walking again only Dean address her

"Listen Tammy, we we're set on a day with just us and our girls so thanks but no thanks, we'll manage on our own" he flashed her a charming smile, Tammy's smile seemed even more forced now.

"Of course" with that she casually walked back to the ranger station

"Well...I don't think she was too happy with how that went" Jess said still staring after where Tammy had gone.

"I think we should move before she gets a second wind" Charley laughed

As they walked Charley and Jess held the map out in between them the guys walking either side of their girl looking over their shoulders. They were able to find the area where their tree was supposed to be, it was about a five mile walk with some small uphill walking but overall it looked like an easy enough trek. They took their time walking, Sam and Charley holding hands a few steps ahead of Dean and Jess. Dean couldn't help but smile at Sam and Charley, feeling genuinely happy for his baby brother.

Jess nudged his shoulder noticing his soft smile, he wiped the smile off his face faking a manly expression making Jess laugh, then slung his arm around her shoulders again. Jess wrapped her arm around his waist and leaned her head into his shoulder.

"They look good together, don't they?" Jess said quietly

"Yeah" Dean answered not even bothering to hide the smile this time

Jess couldn't help but think how adorable Dean was and when he noticed the small curve to her lips he rolled his eyes and pecked her on the forehead, making her smile wider and cuddle closer to him.

Charley glance back and saw the couples little moment and quickly look back in front, Sam gave her a curious look she motioned behind them. Sam glance back and then smiled at Charley, Dean looked so at ease with Jess. No chick flick moment Dean was out in the open, PDA with his girl and Sam couldn't be happier about it.

After a nice hour stroll they reached the area where the map had said there tree was, but there was hordes of trees around, they all looked old and none had any defining feature that was screaming out, necklace hidden here to the group.

"Great..." Sam said "...How do we know which tree its south of?"

Jess looked at the surrounding tree's, this didn't make sense, they said the tree would be standing on its own and easy to find.

"You got that map Charley girl?" Jess asked

"Ye sure babe, Why?" Charley pulled the map out of her back pocket and opened it out

"They said it would be standing on its own ye know, so all these trees here were off somewhere..."

Dean and Sam huddled over the map as well but it didn't mark areas enough to tell if there was a clear patch with one tree, Jess sighed frustrated and glanced around them again. They were definitely in the right place, Sam even check with GPS on his phone

"These are the numbers alright..." he said softly

"Maybe I remembered them wrong..." Jess trailed off annoyed with herself because if she did then it could take days for them to find the right place.

"Hang on, we'll just fan out first see if we can see anything" Dean suggested, so they did all four of them fanning out keeping their phone's in their hand in case they found something. After a few minutes Jess was about to give up and turn back to where they had split up when her wrist felt warm. Looking down she saw it was where the bracelet was touching her skin and smiled remembering that Badb had said the bracelet would help find the necklace. Jess spent the next few minutes carefully picking her way using the heat from the bracelet to find where she was going, it went warmer the further she went in one direction until she stepped out into a clearing.

Looking around she saw the tree and couldn't help but get excited, jogging over to it she figured out which way was south and gauged the 15ft from the centre, the bracelet sent little tingles up her arm when she stood still. She couldn't help the feeling that flowed over her it was like being in her dreams with Badb and Athena, that same warm, motherly vibe.

Jess called Charley telling her where she found the clearing and twenty minutes later the threeo had found Jess.

"Hay babes so this is your tree?" Charley jogged over to Jess

"Yep definitely" She answered rubbing her fingers over her wrist with the bracelet

"Well alright, so we come back later tonight" Sam smiled

"This was too easy" Dean mumbled wearily, Jess kind of felt the same but they did deserve some sort of easy bit after everything that happened.

They went back to the diner and ate before spending the rest of the day driving around town to try and occupy themselves until later tonight. It was actually kind of nice, they knew where the necklace was it didn't involve anything over the top.

Charley in particular really enjoyed spending time with Sam, Dean and Jess, she could feel herself getting a little more sensitive the closer it got to the year mark of them being missing in their world. Jess was no better, their thoughts turning to home more and more, their chats being more and more about missing everyone from home. Sam and Dean could see the difference but didn't want to push the girls into talking about it, they knew they were here for them.

That evening they went back to the motel room to grab a few of the things they'd need for digging up the necklace, Jess and Dean running in to get them. Sam quickly turned to Charley in the back seat next to him and pulled her in for a quick but passionate kiss, catching her off guard but Charley quickly throwing herself into it. When he pulled back resting his head on hers panting for breath, he smiled.

"What was that for?" Charley smiled softly

Sam shrugged "No reason" Charley smiled again pecking him on the lips as the door opened, Dean and Jess sliding back into the car

"Couldn't keep it in your pant till later Sammy?" Dean teased getting one of Sam's signature bitch face's in return, Charley smirked at him

"Took you two long enough to grab a few bits" she said smartly, then noticed Jessie sly smile and Dean's cocky grin. True enough Dean had pushed Jess against the wall and kissed her senseless when they had got into the room but he didn't need to tell Sammy that.

Review? :-)
