Warping to Destiny - A Supernatural FanFiction

Chapter 47 - Welcome Garth

Katie's POV

In the morning everyone was subdued. We barely talked, and when we did it was just related to fixing and eating breakfast. Maggie and I cleaned up the kitchen and said we were going to the bedrooms to gather our things together.

When we were all ready we packed our stuff in the back seat of the car. We had a lot more than what we came with. The boys hugged us close, again without saying much. But I said, "We will go get groceries and necessities and bring them over later. And we do want to meet Garth. Leave a note in the back seat when he gets here okay?"

Sam nodded and kissed me, and then helped me into the car. Dean, for all he was the one who wanted us to leave the most, was the one who was having the hardest time letting go of Maggie. But he finally did, and we went back home. We both sat in the car crying and talking until we were able to get ourselves under control, and then we went inside. We left our stuff for now, until after we told our parents what was going on. Hopefully, we could tell just enough of the story so as not to make them worry. Fat chance on that one, I thought.

Dad was at work. He often drives a fixer upper home so Mom can have the car, especially since we have been asking for it to stay at home so much lately.

We told mom we were going to stay in our old room for a few days. Of course, she wanted to know what was wrong, and were we no longer happy with Sam and Dean. We assured her we were still madly in love, and that the love was still returned. Then inspiration hit me out of the blue. "They have an old friend coming in, and they want to work on some of the rooms. We decided it was best to stay out of the way. We will still go see them several times a day."

She seemed to accept that so I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I sat down at the table with her and I said, "Mom?"

"Hmm?"

"Would you and Dad be willing to sell me your car?" I asked.

"Oh, Katie, I don't know about that. We would need to get a new one then, and we don't have the money for that."

"Mom," I said, "I did say sell, not give. I do have money. I will pay you more than it's worth. Or hell, I'll trade you my car. It's four years newer and has way fewer miles on it."

"You want it because of the portal, right?"

"Yes Mom, and we can't always be inconveniencing you guys, and we have to have it available even more than usual for a while."

"I understand," she said. "Let me talk to your father, and see what he says."

"Thanks, Mom," I said, and jumped up off the chair and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then Maggie and I went out to gather our things.

When we were all settled in again, we sat down and watched the last two episodes again. I said, "None of this looks like what's happening over there. So it must not be connected, and Chuck or whoever isn't getting visions about it."

"I agree," Maggie said. "But this stuff is like a bomb waiting to drop. Which tragedy is going to strike first?"

"That's a good question. Let's go get the shopping done." I said.

When we returned with the groceries, we put them into the other car and popped back to the Impala. I was happy to see that the groceries did come with us. We carried them inside and were putting them away when Sam came to the kitchen for some beers. We grabbed each other and kissed like we hadn't seen each other for weeks instead of just hours. Then Sam said, "Wait here, I'll go get Dean."

We finished putting the groceries away just as the boys came back. Dean hugged Maggie too, but he seemed edgy. I glanced at Sam and he touched his arm as if to indicate the mark. I took out sandwich fixings and we all sat down and had a late lunch. They said nothing had happened yet, and Garth wasn't there yet. No sooner had they told us that than Dean's phone rang. It was Garth, and he was giving him directions.
