Side by Side - COMPLETE

The Catch

In another hotel room, Dean, Sam, Rowena, Castiel, myself and Crowley all try to convince Kelly, the President's aide and baby's mother, that Mr. President is actually Lucifer. If it wasn't for Crowley kidnapping her, there's no other way that we can catch Lucifer.

"No, no, you're making it up. It's impossible." Kelly said nervously. She was shaking her head in disbelief.

"Well, to be fair, so is teleporting. But...ta-da." Dean smiled at her.

"Who are you people?" Kelly asked, looking at everyone in the hotel room, her eyes falling on me. She furrowed her eyebrows and continued to stare at me. I took a step back, not knowing what this lady might do.

She walked up to me and reached her hand up to touch my face. I moved away from her reach and took another step back.

"You look so familiar. Have we met?" The stranger's piercing green eyes were making me uncomfortable.

I shook my head no in response and her slight smile turned into a frown.

"Whats your name?" She sat back down on the bed and waited for me to answer.

"Marissa." I said.

She whispered my name and smiled. "What a nice name."

Rowena broke the weirdness in the air and started the introductions. "Well, dear, I'm a witch. He's an angel," She said pointing towards a bowing Castiel.

Crowley raised his hand. "And I'm the King of Hell."

"Oh, God." Kelly said, finally breaking her stare that we had.

"No, actually, he left." Castiel informed her.

"Okay, guys, not helping." I stopped them all from talking.

"You—you can't. He's the President. He was, but now..."

"Tell me he hasn't been acting different." I said with my motherly voice.

"Jeff's been under a lot of stress. He..." She began to say, but Crowley interrupted her.

"Wrong. He's the Devil. Horns, pitchfork, the whole nine."

Sam gave Crowley a dirty look. "Crowley, still not helping. Listen, we know what we're talking about here. We have been on Lucifer's trail for a long time."

"And we know you're pregnant with his child." Rowena told Kelly.

"That's—that's—you're lying." Kelly didn't want to believe these people. She loved Jeff and she wanted the baby to be Jeff's baby.

"The thing inside you, it's unholy," Castiel opened a nightstand drawer and pulled out a bible. "It's an abomination."

"That's n—"

"Place your hand here." He held the bible in front of Kelly. Her handprint was seared into the cover of the Bible and erupted in flames. I flinched at the heat and Dean brought over a trash can and a pitcher of water and Cas dropped the Bible into it. Dean poured the water onto the burning bible.

"No. Oh, no." Kelly started saying.

"Does he even know you're knocked up?" Dean asked the scared woman.

"Yes, he...He said he was thrilled. He said it was the only time he ever created anything."

Sam faced towards Kelly. "Kelly...we need your help."

She shook her head. "No- I can't."

I nudged Sam away from her and I kneeled down to be face to face with her. I placed my hands on her shaking ones and she looked up at me. "Kelly please. We need your help. The man inside the President is not the man you love. I promise you though, if you help us, we will get Jeff back for you."
