Dean keeps fidgeting with his ring as we sit and wait for Mrs Thatcher. I slap his hand, "Stop it. Act natural." I whisper. He stops and rubs his palms on his thighs. "I can't act natural, being married isn't natural for me." He whispers in return. Dean's phone goes off, "Hello." He answers. I lean in to listen as I already know it's Sam. "Look, I think we both forgot about what really happened that night. Joe and Ryan were killed by Crowley's demons that night. Remember we found them in the doorway to the basement?" Sam says. Dean's brows furrow as he thinks back. "Great, so now what?" He says. "I don't know Dean, go on with the plan I guess. Just be careful." Sam says hanging up.
Mrs Thatcher walks out, "Mr and Mrs Nicks?" She says and we both stand up. She motions for us to follow her. She guides us to a large room filled with kids of all ages. "Well here's our clan. Now I understand you two own your own farm?" She asks. Dean glances at me in panic, clearly her didn't read our fake life file Sam made up. "Yes, Ma'am. My husband trains race horses." I say ad she smiles. I spot the youngest Silver boy, Ryan. "So why do you want to adopt?" She says directly to Dean. He gulps, "Well even with a huge farm and all the horses it just feels like we're missing something. We've tried so many times before, but after miscarriage after miscarriage the Dr told us she can never carry a child full term, I wanna give her the family we deserve." He says wrapping an arm around me.
Damn that was so good, he actually brought a tear to mine and Mrs Thatcher's eye. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Well go ahead and meet some of our kids and come find me when your ready." She says wiping her eyes and walking back to her office. "That was good, but I don't remember reading about miscarriage's in the file." I say to him, He leans into my ear, "That's because I made it up. Not bad huh?" He says with that boyish grin. I walk over to Ryan, and sit beside him. "Hi, I'm Olivia. What's your name?" I ask. Ryan looks at me then Dean. "I think you know my name, Mr Nicks." He says sarcastically to Dean. Dean kneels in front of him, "You remember me? You were dead in that stairwell." Dean says.
Ryan smiles awkwardly, "No dummy, that's what Crowley wanted you to think. After all, at that time you thought he was dead." Dean glares at me, "Look Ryan, where's your brother?" I ask. He shrugs his shoulders. "I don't know, I see him every once in a while. Why?" He asks. "Look we're gonna get you outta here ok. But we want you and your brother to be together." I say and Dean looks at me. Ryan smiles, "Ok, if you get me out of here, I'll show you where Joe is. Mrs Thatcher kicked him out when he turned eighteen last week." Ryan tells us.
Dean heads off to find Mrs Thatcher, While I sit with Ryan. "So are you and him really married? The last time I saw him he was with some giant dude and they were pretending to be cops." He says. I look on as I see Dean walking in with Mrs Thatcher. "I'll tell ya later." I say standing up. "We absolutely adore Ryan. He's perfect." I gush to her as I pull him in closer to me. Mrs Thatcher's face grows serious. "Are you sure, you want him?" She says with distaste. "Yes, we're sure. He already feels apart of us. Where do we sign?" Dean says with a shit eating grin. Mrs Thatcher walks the three of us back into the office and we sign all the dotted lines.
"Ok, Ryan you're officially adopted. Be good." She tells him. He nods and takes my hand and Dean's as we head out. Once we get him in the car we me up with Sam at a park down the road. "Where are we going?" Ryan asks. Dean looks at him through the rear view mirror. "Don't worry about it." He says. Sam looks in the back of the impala, "Where's Joe?" He asks. Dean, while walking around the back of the car, points to Ryan. "Alright, kid. Where's your brother?" Dean asks. I hear some rustling behind the treeline. I keep my eye a large tree to the right of huge boulder.
"Dean, Sam." I say and they look to where I'm pointing. Joe emerges from the forest. "I hear you're looking for me?" He says. Dean smiles, "Well, now that we have you both. Get in. It's not safe for you here, we have a spot for you." Dean says and Sam stares at him in confusion. I grab Dean's arm and take him out of earshot from the boys, "Are you seriously thinking what I think you're thinking?" I ask him. "Depends, what do you think I'm thinking?" He asks me, thinking this is a game. "Dean, our son, is there, My sister. We can't bring them there. It's not safe." I say. He grabs my shoulders, and looks into my eyes, "Just trust me." He says walking to the impala.
He is insane, he can't honestly think this is ok. They're monsters, they could hurt our boy. I quickly whip my phone out and text Addy.
Me: Call Cas and have him take you and Jack somewhere safe.
Addy: Why? what's wrong?
Me: Just do it please!
Addy: Ok
I tuck my phone away and sit in the back with Ryan and Joe. They may only be kids but they kind of scare me. We have hours of driving ahead of us and Dean doesn't want to stop. I make myself comfortable and take a nap.
I wake up in Dean's room at the bunker. I stand by the door and wait as I hear dean and Sam talking or rather arguing. "Dean, you can't be serious." Sam says. "Oh I'm dead serious. We're gonna gank those monsters." Dean says. I walk in front of them, "Wait, What?" I say. Sam eyes Dean and does a double take look at Sam. "What? Like she's gonna change my mind." Dean says. I stare at him and he steps back. "Come on, they're monsters we gotta gank 'em." He says. I actually agree with Dean, but I don't know why he brought he here to kill them. "So let me get this straight, you bought them back here only to kill them?" I ask.
Dean rolls his eyes, "Sam, can you give us a minute?" He says. Sam walks back the way they came. Dean walks into his room and pulls me in. He shuts the door. "Look I wanted to bring them back here, to kind of test the waters. See if they really are, well you know." He says. "And, are they?" I ask. He nods, "Yeah, Ryan used his wraith spike to suck the contents of a grapefruit. I mean, I think Ryan is more screwed up in the head than Joe, but we don't let monsters live." He says. I can tell he's really having a hard time with this. I also notice he still has the ring on, I walk over to him and take his hand and run my thumb over the ring.
"Still wearing it, huh?" I say. He brings me in closer to him, "Yeah, kind of forgot it was there." He says. I sigh and look him in those wonderful eyes of his, "Dean what are we doing? I mean we're off, we're on. I love you and that's not going to change." I say to him. He does that sinful look where he slowly rolls his eyes and licks his lips. "I love you too, Liv, I just. I'm not good at the whole relationship thing. I'm the guy who has one night stands and weekend flings. I've had maybe two serious relationships, one I had Cas erase me from her life and the other was a lie created by a Jinn." He says. "You think, I'm any better at it?" I say and we hear Sam shout our names.
We both run out towards his voice and find him in the library. Ryan has his wraith spike pointed at Sam's temple as he stands on the table. Joe lays beside them with his head decapitated, "What the hell happened?" I shout. Ryan shows his teeth, "Gigantor here, killed my brother. See Joe, figured out why you brought us here. To kill us, not to protect us!" He shouts. Dean walks closer to him with his hands out, "Ok look Joe was right, I'm sorry. But see what you are, is what we kill. And we can't have you killing innocent people." Dean explains to him.
"Innocent? They are far from innocent. Like your brother here, he killed my brother so I'm going to kill him." He shouts. I look at Dean and I get an idea. "Ryan, look we were wrong ok. I just learned I had a sister. I would do anything for her. I understand why you want to hurt Sam, but he's like my brother, so how about I take you to meet my sister?" I say and Dean glares at me slightly shaking his head so that Ryan won't see. Ryan retracts his spike and jumps from the table. "Ok, but only because I like you and you haven't lied to me yet." He says. I hug Dean, knowing he put a silver blade in the back of his pants.
Ryan's up on the steps already and I place the blade in the back of my pants. Following Ryan I motion for him to open the door and as soon as he has his hand on the door knob. I remove the blade from it's sheath. In one quick motion I brought the blade down and took Ryan's head off. I felt the warm blood splatter across my face. The copper smell filled my nose and I felt nauseated.
Dean came running up and caught me as I fell. "Are you ok?" He says. I look up and nod. He wipes away the blood on my face, and helps me down the steps and into the bathroom. "Dean, I've never killed a kid before." I say as I sit on the toilet. He kneels in front of me, "I know baby. It's ok. You were protecting us. You did good." He says as he kisses my hand. I go off in a daze as dean gets my undressed and into the shower.
