Rhea POV

I dragged her inside and brought her to the dining room table. "You better explain to me why I had to find you on the sidewalk and why you wouldn't come to me the minute you came back. How long have you been back?" I asked, sitting next to her and Sam sitting next to me.

"Nine months." Adeline said.

"What!" I yelled.

"Rhea, come on." Sam said, taking my hand.

"How the hell could you be back for nine months and not see us?" I asked.

"Right before the mansion went down, I saw Dean in the park with the kids. Then, the day I came back, I went to that same park just in time to see Dean with Lisa. Everything in me wanted to jump out, but I watched Dean smile and I knew it wasn't right. My kids are living normal lives, that's more then I could've ever hoped for. So, I stayed back, I hunted, and I watched over the house to make sure that everything was okay. If anything ever happened then I would step in, but until then I was going to let everyone be happy." Ada said.

"Ada, how did you come back?" Sam asked.

"The power of positive thinking." Ada smirked.

"Brought back that smart mouth with you." I laughed.

"I don't know what brought me back, I just crawled out from the same spot where I died. Thank god they didn't rebuild there or else it would've been a little more difficult." Ada smiled.

"Adeline, we needed you. You should've stepped in that day, we wouldn't be in the damn suburbs if you stepped in." I said.

"I wanted to Rhea. I wanted to step in more then anything but Dean and the kids have what I could never give them. You don't think I want to tuck Aella and Wyatt in at night, I've never even touched my kids Rhea. This isn't easy for me, but I know it's best for them. Even Dean looks happier, the kids deserve a happy dad." Ada said.

"I'm calling Dean right now..." I said has I started to get up but Ada stopped me.

"No you're not. I only came here because you caught me on the sidewalk. I love you Rhea, but this is about what's best for my kids and I can't let you interfere with that." Ada said, complete seriousness across her face.

"You deserve to see your kids, you deserve to be happy too." I said.

"Not when you have kids, their happiness comes far above yours. You know you would've died for Atlas if you could." Ada said.

I sat back down next to Sam but Ada stayed standing, "Dean doesn't love this girl Adeline, I know a part of him still holds on to you." I said.

"It just takes time, he'll be okay." Ada said.

"Look, I think we need to call it for tonight. Why don't we get some sleep and revisit this whole topic tomorrow?" Sam suggested.

"Alright I'll see myself out." Ada said and made her way to the door.

"Where the hell are you going?" I asked.

"I always watch over Dean and Lisa's house at night. There has been a lot of activity around here, and I know Dean isn't prepared for it. I still have to save his ass even if he doesn't know I'm there." She gave a light laugh.

"Well you aren't doing it alone, we can take the Impala." Sam said.

"Oh baby! I missed her so much!" Adeline yelled has she ran for the garage.

"Damn she missed the car more then me." I laughed has we followed her out to the car.

Adeline was already in the drivers seat, rubbing her hands along the steering wheel and the leather seats. Sam and I climbed in the back and tossed her the keys.
