Family Remains

"Its Not A Job"

Can I just say that I really like introducing characters that I love and/or miss on the show? Thus, Ellen and Jo. Always in my hearts those two are! <3

"It's nice to meet you," I said formally with smile. "I'm Ash."

Ellen laughed slightly.

"Funny, we have our own Ash," She said.

"But he's out at the moment," Jo added.

I nodded as I thought about that.

"About your question," I said.

"Oh, you don't have to answer that," Ellen piped up. "That's none of my business."

"We just don't get many people," Jo continued. "Less people means we get to only talk to each other and ourselves."

"It's alright," I said as Ellen put a glass of ice water in front of me.

I took a sip before continuing.

"But yes," I said. "I actually am."

"And you stopped at a bar?" Jo asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ellen whacked her with a dish towel that had been draped over her shoulder. Jo gave her a what-its-just-a-question kind of look and then looked back at me with a half smile.

"Its just that me and my boyfriend told the rest of our family and they-"

"Freaked out?" Ellen asked.

"Kicked you out of the house?" Jo questioned.

I laughed and shook my head, taking another sip of my water.

"No, three of them took it just fine," I said thinking of how Cas was just confused as hell but took it nicely. "But his father on the other hand."

I paused, looking down at the cup of ice water. Cold water droplets laced the outside of the cup from its cold contents. It kind of reminded me at the moment. Its like the water on the outside didn't cut it to be able to be on the inside, like it wasn't good enough.

"Instead of saying anything he kind of just got up and went outside," I added. "I think I would rather him of yelled and screamed and got furious, anything but saying nothing and just walking out."

"Its kind of like saying he gave up even though he had no say in it since its already happened?" Jo asked, her voice quiet.

"I guess you could put it that way," I said, voice distant sounding.

"Is he a real hard ass?" Ellen asked.

I looked up at her, humor lit in my eyes as I started to laugh. I bit my lip and smiled at the mom and daughter who took time away from their job just to talk to me.

"Yeah," I said with a giggle. "Yeah, he really is."

"How bad?" Jo asked.

I guess Ellen decided to go against her policy of no soda without alcohol because a Sprite was set in front of me. I smiled gratefully at her and answered Jo's question.

"Well, I've literally grew up with him and his two sons," I started. "That's how we and Dean met, oh, he's the father, and I can't remember a day that he didn't get on their ass about something."

I paused and bit my lip again.

"John means everything to Dean so it probably pissed him off as much as it pissed me off that he didn't say anything," I said. "John is like a second father so it really does hurt that he acted the way that he did."
