Sarah- 13

It had finally happened the day Dean would always dread. Sarah was now 13. A teenager. There were many things he could handle and prepare for. This was not one of those things. His sister as a teenager meant puberty and the two he would most greatly despise dating and boys.

He and Sarah were still on the road, he was still tempted to retire and settle down to give her a normal life. Dean was very worried and concerned about his sister. The past few days she had been emotional, withdrawn, snippy and he had no idea why. They didn't have a fight, he didn't forget her birthday or any other important day. He just wondered, what was making her act this way?

Dean and Roman were walking back to the backstage area, the dirty blonde stopped and sat down. The large Samoan man had looked down at him.

"Everything alright man?" Roman asked, concerned for his friend.

"It's Sarah. I don't know what's going on with her and I'm worried. What should I do Rome?" Dean asked, untapping his hands.

"She is getting older Dean, it might be nothing. She could just be in a mood lots of kids go through them"

"This seems different"

"It could be…her"

"Her what?

"Her period"

Just the thought of that made Dean cringe, that was the biggest start of his little girl growing up. He ran a hand back through his messy and sweaty hair.

"Why does she need a period at 13? She's only a little girl"

"All girls go through it Dean, we can't stop it. It's a part of life and nature"

"How the hell can you be so calm about a subject like this?"

"Probably because I have a sister, wife, and daughter. It's not the end of the world man, it's just her growing up"

Before he could say something back to his friend, Seth and Sarah walked over. The two-toned man held a hand on his kid sister's shoulder, it had only been a couple of years since it came out that Seth was the half-brother of Dean and Sarah. Sarah had been holding her stomach, it made Dean shoot out of the chair and to his sister.

"What's wrong?" He looked between his brother and sister.

"She said her stomach's been hurting for a while," Seth told his brother.

The dirty blonde looked at his sister holding her lower stomach. "What's the pain feel like sweetheart?"

"Cramps" She whimpered. "It's like all my muscles are being twisted around" She laid her head on his shoulder. "Make it stop De"

This was killing Dean not being able to take her pain from her, feeling completely helpless. He then stood to his full height, holding her up in one arm. Using his free arm and hand he rubbed her back soothingly.

"I'll give you something at the hotel, it's time for you to go to bed anyway"

Seth made sure to grab his brother and sister's stuff as well knowing Dean would end up carrying their younger sister. The two-toned man wouldn't admit it but he felt like Dean- helpless he wished he could take his sister's pain but couldn't

With the help of Roman, he and the three siblings were packed and made their way back to the hotel. Dean laid Sarah in the back seat as she curled up hoping the pain would subside. He got in the passenger seat as Seth decided to drive.

Seth glanced at his older brother. "She's gonna be ok Dean. We'll help her get through this"

"Her going through this is a huge sign she's growing up, I don't want her to"

"It's a totally normal feeling but this is something out of our control. We just have to let nature take its course"

Dean pulled his phone out to research this, Seth looked in the rearview mirror and saw that their sister was finally calm and in a light sleep. As the blonde was reading his phone his eyes had gone wide.

"Oh god, I need to bleach my eyes!"

"Dean!" Seth hissed. "Not so loud, she's trying to sleep. What the hell are you reading?"

"Roman said something about this being her period, I'm researching that. I'm gonna have to bleach my eyes when I'm done"

"You should know most of this. Where were you in health class or when they taught sex ed?"

He bit the nail on his thumb. "There's a child present and I'd rather not scar her with those stories"

"Say no more, I don't think I'd wanna know"

He chuckled as his eyes widened more. "The hell, did you know that this period prepares her body to…get pregnant?!"

"Would you lower your damn voice? And yes I knew. I started doing research about puberty and other stuff when the day occurred. Why do you think I'm not freaking out like you?"

"I swear if any boy even touches her I'll have to break their hands and…other body parts"

The two-toned man chuckled. "Dude, you're gonna be so much fun when she starts dating"

Dean blankly looked at his brother. "Who the hell said she's dating? She's not dating not until she's at least…50"

Seth still couldn't help but chuckle. "If she goes to school you're gonna be hella fun on her prom night"

"I'm chaperoning"

He laughed again just as they pulled up to the hotel, Dean went and got Sarah. She blindly woke up only to wrap herself around her brother. They had gone up to the shared room, Seth opened the door and let them in.

He tickled his sister's chin to wake her up. "Sarah, wake up sweetheart"

She moaned and pulled her head off Dean's shoulder. "Mhmm"

"Come on Sleeping Beauty, you can sleep after you change," Dean told her softly. "How's your stomach?"

"It still hurts but not as bad"

"We'll give you something for it when we get settled"

The three siblings had gone to the room, once there Dean sat his sister down and watched as she got her bag to get her pajamas and went to change. The two men set their bags down and Dean started looking for the Ibuprofen he got from the trainer at the arena.

"Seth, can you fill this up with hot water?" Dean tossed him a rubber pouch.

The two-toned man grabbed it. "What is it?"

"Hot water bottle. I lost the heating pad, heat is supposed to soothe the pain"

Seth looked impressed with his brother, he would give him credit when it was due. Dean had done his own research, it was a little bit but it was something.

"You're a great brother Dean, insanely overprotective but a great brother" Seth complimented his brother.

"Thanks, man," the dirty blonde smiled.

Soon Sarah emerged from the bathroom and she was changed into one of her brother's shirts and plaid pajama pants, she decided to leave her hair down. She lay on one of the beds and curled up to make the remaining pain subside. Seth had finished filling the hot water bottle and gently set it on her stomach where it had been hurting.

She smiled softly. "Thanks Seth"

"You're welcome honey"

Dean then came over with the ibuprofen and some water. "Here you go sweetheart"

The smile stayed on her face. "Thanks De"

She took the pill and gulped down the water then settled down under the covers. The young teen let sleep overcome her, she was glad that she had her two older brothers watching over her. She wouldn't want it any other way.
