A tear slowly rolled down my cheek. I allowed a few more to escape, but quickly wiped my eyes when I heard the door open. I turned towards the opposite side of the room, attmepting to hide my red eyes. 

"Hey Rosie.. Can I talk to you?" I turned swiftly, knowing exactly who spoke. I couldn't help the butterflies in my stomach when he said my name, or even when he looked at me. I walked over to him, trying to hide my excitement that I could finally see him. When I was about two feet away, I couldn't hold back anymore and ran straight into his arms. He lifted me up and my legs wrapped around his waist. My arms held myself up around his neck and my head rested on top of them. He held me tightly, pulling me closer every minute. Dean knocked on the door, causing Sam to walk over to the bed, now holding me bridal style against his chest. 

"Now I understand why we haven't left yet. The lovebirds over here are holding everything up. Rosie, get changed. You two can cuddle in the car." He gestured toward Castiel to follow him out the door, and then slammed it behind him. I looked up at Sam with a small smile. 

"Wanna help me pick out something to wear," I asked with a wink. He chuckled slightly, then became very serious in a quiet change of countenance.  My smile faded slowly, realizing he probably wanted to talk. I got off his lap and started to shuffle through my bad, trying to find something to wear. 

"Rosie, we seriously need to talk about what happened today." My back was to him, and slowly, all the happiness from my face drained. Once I grabbed a pair of jeans and a blue t-shirt, I turned back towards him. 

"What about it? I was possessed, and need more protection. That's all there is to it."

"I just don't know if I can deal with something like that if it happens again. Relationships are hard to have. Especially in this business. I don't want to lose you. Thats why I don't want you out of Cas, Dean or my sight."

"I can take care of myself. I'm not a child. If I just get a little bit more protection I'll be fine." 

"It's not just that though. All of these monsters know you are the key to hurting us. Family is our only weakness. If anything worse than today ever happened to you I would do anything to trade me for you, and thats all they want." I watched his eyes get colder with every word. 

"I would do anything to keep you three safe from any harm. I would even leave you guys to save you. And if it would make you feel better to have someone watching over me, then I'll deal with it. But only because I hate it when you're worried or upset." I gently kissed the top of his head, and then slipped his t-shirt off my body. I noticed that I was already changed out of my bathing suit. 

"Did you change my clothes while I was passed out?" He blushed slightly, obviously embarrassed that I noticed. I giggled at how adorable he could be. I was in the process of buttoning my jeans when Dean walked in without notice. He looked as if he was about to start talking, but stopped when he noticed I wasn't wearing a shirt. He stared at my black lace bra as if he had never seen a woman without a shirt on before. I continued getting dressed by putting my t-shirt on while he still stood, drooling. 

I made sure I had everything I needed in my bag and threw the strap over my shoulder. I grabbed my black zip-up sweatshirt and walked passed Dean. He turned when I had gotten behind him and watched me walk off. Sam came behind me, playfully hitting Dean in the head on the way passed him. We all piled into the car, going over once more anything we would need before we left. Finding nothing, we pulled out of the parking lot of the motel and drove down the street. Dean was driving with Cas in the passenger seat, and Sam and I in the back. 

"So where to next," I asked. 

"To a tattoo place. You need more protection," Dean answered, looking at me in the rearview mirror.  I started to get a little nervous, knowing this was going to be my first tattoo ever.
