We all sit around in the library, Dean having my phone in his hands. It's on loud speaker, the ominous ringing filling the room. My leg bounces up and down nervously, my teeth chewing at my lip as I look towards the object. My arms are wrapped around Mary, holding her tightly with fear of letting her go.
"You have less than one minute before a very dear, attractive and slightly tipsy friend of yours snuffs it." Crowley's voice filters out over the speaking, causing me to tense up.
"Call it off, Crowley!" Dean yells, his hands hitting against the tabletop.
"Because..?" He probes, drawing out the process.
"Because it's over, you son of a bitch. We want a deal." Dean says, looking between Sam and I.
"Thirty seconds." He days and Dean growls at him, "We stop the trials, you stop killing."
"I want the demon tablet. The whole demon tablet." Crowley states and Dean nods, "Fine, but then the angel tablet comes to us."
"On what grounds?" He asks and Dean frowns, "On the grounds that you're a douchebag and no douchebag should have that much power. Deal or not?"
"First, I need to hear two little words, 'I surrender'." He says, getting a kick out of it all.
Dean looks towards me and I nod my head, reassuring him. He sighs and reluctantly says the two words, "I surrender."
"Pleasure doing business." Crowley states.
I let out a breath and relax slightly, leaning down and placing a kiss in the little girl's hair. She looks up at me curiously, having no idea what it going on. I look down at her and remind myself why I'm doing this. Becoming a mother has shown me that I will do whatever it takes to protect the ones I love, especially my daughter. I will ensure that she grows up in a world where she is safe.
"Meet us at Bobby's tomorrow at noon." Dean states.
"See you then. Caio." He answers, before hanging up.
Dean takes a seat and I look over towards him and Sam, both of them looking at me. I nod my head and gain a little bit of confidence, "This'll work."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My fingers play with the leather cord bracelet on my wrist, my eyes watching the scenery whiz past me as we drive. My mind is focused on Mary, who I had to leave yet again. This one felt harder, I held her for a solid hour before leaving, something in me not willing to let her go. I hate leaving her, I hate her thinking that I'm leaving and abandoning her all the time. But if everything goes the way we want it too, this should be the last time.
I feel a hand reach over and take mine, drawing my attention. Dean's fingers intertwine with mine as he lifts my hand to his lips, pressing a sweet kiss on the knuckles. I meet his eyes for a brief moment and I know how much he wants this, how much he needs this.
He turns back to the road and pulls over, us reaching the place Kevin told us to go. We park behind another car and I look over, seeing a figure digging underneath a billboard Bessie the road. Dean and I climb out, making our way over towards where Kevin is digging. I look at the sign and roll my eyes, an advertisement for chilli. The mascot is a devil, who is pouring ingredients into the pot.
"You hid the demon tablet underneath the devil? Seriously?" Dean asks.
Kevin raises to his feet, a bag in his hand as he turns back and faces us, "What? I was delirious."
