Authors Note: This is the last chapter of the second story in the Winchester Chronicles Series. This series will be a trilogy with a possible story written from Deanna’s viewpoint coming sometime in the future. Thank you for reading and enjoying my Cassie & Dean fan fictions.
After a long day the house was silent downstairs while an intruder made his way into the boys room. Cassie’s mother had decided to spend that night at her home since she expected her husband to come in from a business trip some time over night. No one realized that with all the comings and goings that the alarm had not been set. Marty heard the man as he reached over to put something over Jason’s mouth.
“Hey,” Marty said.
“Shhh, little man and you won’t get hurt,” the tall man who had come again to take Jason said.
Marty kicked the man a few times with his barefeet before the man put duct tape on the little boy’s feet and mouth. Then before he could grab his little hands he swiped him across the face. The man grinned at Marty, feisty little kid.
“Look kid I don’t want to hurt you be still and be quiet or I will take you too,” the tall man insisted as Marty eyed him thoroughly while he took Jason who was sound asleep out the window.
Marty was still just as the man had instructed until he saw him shut the window again.
Marty was used to obeying grown ups and he realized it was best for the mean time to do just that. At that moment he could no longer see the man or Jason, Marty began to kick the wall as hard as he could with his tapped up feet.
Deanna, who was tossing and turning heard the noise and ran to the boys room.
“Marty, where is Jason?” she asked as she looked at her little brother.
She immediately ran to Sam and Sara’s room at the other end of the hall near the stairwell.
“Uncle Sam hurry, Jason is gone, Marty is hurt,” she said unsure as to how to explain Marty’s situation.
Sam rushed to the room, to find his nephew sitting on his bed as he tried to free himself. Sam took over as he untapped his mouth first.
“He was tall like you with a black shirt and black pants and a black thing over his eyes,” Marty said without stopping.
“Who?”
“The guy that took Jason,” Deanna provided.
“Oh no, Deanna go tell your Dad, ” Sam said as he went to wake Sara after he finished relieving Marty of the tape.
As soon as he put his pants on Sam ran down the stairs and woke Andy to help him search the neighborhood.
“Sorry, man its urgent if we find the guy your gifts my come in handy.
“Hey, no problem,” Andy said as he put on his pants and shirt before they headed out the door.
Sam made sure everything was in tact this time before he left the house. They scanned the area as the looked for anything out of place around the house then expanded their search as they sought cars that did not belong. They found a ladder thrown to the side on the grown in the back yard. Sam shook his head.
“Dean is going to kill me, I forgot to set the stupid alarm,” Sam said to a concerned Andy.
“It could have happened to anyone, we just need to find out who this guy is,” Andy insisted.
“Daddy, daddy, wake up. Jason is gone,” Deanna said to a sound asleep Dean.
He was certain he was hearing things as he opened his eyes to see his daughter’s flushed face.
“What?” he asked he finally realized what was happening was real life.
“Someone took Jason,” Deanna said again.
Cassie rolled over this time to look at Dean.
“Oh no,” she said as he grabbed his pants and went to see what was going on.
“Deanna stay here with your mom and sister, okay,” Dean said in his no nonsense tone.
“K, Daddy,” she said knowing this was no time to argue.
Upstairs Sara washed Jason where the tape had stuck so he would not be sticky later on. He chattered on about how he had kicked the man and scratched his face. Sara was concerned for Jason too she hoped Sam and the guys found him quickly. To steal a child out of his bedroom it gave her chills just to think of it.
Dean took the stairs two at a time and Sara told him what had happened as well as where Sam and Andy had gone.
“Okay so we have the description from Marty, that’s good,” Dean said as he ran his hand over his son’s hair.
They were lucky their son had a photographic memory but what if the man came back for Marty? No, he would not think of that He was sure this had something to do with Courtney. It was her own fault she had threatened, Dean, when she said “you will regret taking Jason in. Marty had settled down in the last few minutes, his original sleepiness from being awakened had returned.
“As soon as they come back we will go to the police station, that is if they didn’t find anything,” Dean informed Sara as he went back downstairs to tell Cassie.
Sam and Andy returned empty handed and frustrated. As soon as they came in the door Dean led them back outside so they could leave again with him.
“So nothing guys?” Dean asked as he backed out of the drive.
Sam and Andy kept looking for anything suspicious as they road the five minutes to the station.
“Okay, don’t forget we are the Nugents in this town. So the boy that is missing is Jason Nugent, right?”
Sam rolled his eyes and Andy laughed then stopped at Dean’s look. His son was missing this was not a light moment despite the deception they had to perpetrate.
They made the report just in case, but not because they believed the police could really help them, besides it would look good in the judge’s eyes. On the way back, they saw the paper boy doing his early morning deliveries.
“Hey Brody,” Dean said as he called the young man to the car.
“Yes, Mr. Nugent, kind of early to be out even for you,” he teased Dean.
Dean nodded, before he informed the young man of the situation.
“No sh*t, man…..Hey you know when I went by your place earlier I saw a strange car not far from your house. It was older kind of silverish maybe light blue. Anyway, I noticed because it had a vanity plate. You know the type with words.”
“What did it say?” Dean prodded the young man.
“Um, it was SRFNCAL, I think. It also had California plates which is another reason it stuck out in my mind,” he said.
“Thanks Brody, this may be just what we need. We will let you know what happens,” Dean said.
“Okay, see you later,” Brody said as he got back on his bike to head in the opposite direction.
Back at the house, Sam began his research using the license plate that Brody had given them. He came up with two hits. But only one belong to a David Masterson.
“I think I got something,” he said to Andy who stood by the window of Dean’s office.
“David, was the guy who tried to take Jason last time. He was in jail. But it looks like he got bailed out. And the plates belong to him.”
Dean was livid, Courtney had to be a psycho to have her son taken from his home in the middle of the night. Marty said that Jason was not moving what if he had an asthma attack, and out a window, no less. Dean paced as Sam gave him the news.
“Okay so we know she used the same person. But where is he taking him? Check airplane manifests for his name. If not his try Courtney’s,” he insisted as he left the room to go talk to Cassie.
Cassie wasn’t surprised, of course she did not say anything as Dean ranted, though quietly to keep from waking the girls.
“Call the judge Dean lets get this over with. Courtney does not seem to have common sense to be around Jason. She does not have good sense at all,” Cassie said as she looked at her troubled husband.
They had tried to keep Jason in Courtney’s life for Jason’s sake, but now things had gone too far. Dean reached for the phone, but decided to go see what Sam had come up with first.
“I will call let me just get some more to go on, I promise,” he said as he kissed his wife’s cheek.
Was Cassie remembering? Or had she formed her opinion from all the bad reports she had heard about Courtney from the family? Dean wondered as he left the room.
Sam hit the jackpot with Courtney’s name she had purchased several tickets on her credit card but the destination seemed to be Ontario. She was due to arrive there that night. Dean shook his head after receiving the information he picked up the phone while Sam made reservations so they could get to Ontario first.
“Judge, I am sorry to phone you so early but we have a situation here that needs to be discussed immediately,” Dean said after the preliminary hellos.
“Go ahead I’m listening,” the judge said as she eyed her bedside clock.
It was barely four in the morning.
Dean went over what he felt the judge needed to know and added a bit so she would not realized they had searched the license database.
“This time Mr. Nugent she needs to spend time in jail if she is where you believe that she is and if she has had your son abducted.”
“I’m sorry I think taking all of her parental rights should be enough for now, if you please, judge,” Dean insisted.
He could not imagine not to be able to see his children. He thought that would be justice enough for anyone, even Courtney, like life without parole.
The judge sighed, “Mr. Nugent, I do not know how she was lucky enough to, how do I say, ‘hook up’ with a man like you. I will make my decision if she shows up at the Ontario airport with Jason in hand.”
“Thank you judge,” Dean said as he hung up.
Sam and Dean waited in the office at the airport as they spoke with the policeman that would escort Courtney if she was on the plane with Jason.
“Yeah, the judge called us with your situation. Looks like you hooked up with a real crazy woman,” one of the policemen said to Dean with a smile.
“Well that was a one time deal, the woman I am with for life is a keeper,” he said with a slight smirk.
“Yes, it is a warning about one night stands,” Sam added as Dean hit him on the shoulder.
All the men laughed at the joke.
Courtney was more than a little surprised when she was pulled aside by two burly officers as she disembarked from the plane.
“Excuse me, what’s going?” she kept saying.
Jason wiggled in her arms as he smiled at the men. His grin got wider when he saw who was in the office where they took Courtney.
“Daddy, Daddy,” Jason said as he went into Dean’s waiting arms.
“Hey Buddy, are you okay?”
Jason nodded as he hugged his father.
“Phone for you,” Dean said as he moved away from the desk so the officer could give Courtney the phone so she could hear the bad news from the judge. Jason had no idea that Courtney was his real mother. He only knew her by her name, Mama, so for him seeing his Daddy meant that he was going home to be with his family.
“Where is Marty?” the little boy asked as he looked around the room with a frown.
“At home with the others waiting to see you,” Sam said as he rubbed his nephew’s hair.
“Can Mama come?” Jason asked as he looked at Courtney who frowned as she held the phone to her ear.
“No, Jason, not this time.”
“Okay, bye bye Mama,” he said as they headed out of the door.
“Hey kiddo looks like you had an adventure,” Cassie said as Jason came to her for a hug as Dean walked in with him.
“I flew,” he said with a laugh.
“Jason,” Deanna said from behind him as she came in the room out of breath because she wanted to see her brother.
“Dee Dee,” he said as they hugged.
Marty was close behind as he tackled Jason and they both fell to the floor laughing. Dean shook his head, boys.
The judge phoned a couple of hours later to let them know that she had allowed Courtney to remain free because of Dean’s request. However, if she got a parking ticket they would take her to jail. It was because of Dean’s desire for Courtney not to end up in jail that the judge had allowed her freedom at all.
“Thanks judge I hope she takes this final warning seriously,” Dean said.
“As far as you allowing her to see Jason that is up to you, but I do not advise it. You and Cassie have sole custody now. Congratulations,” she said before she hung up.
Cassie woke up the next morning with flashes of her life in her head. She saw herself pregnant with Deanna, as she married Dean, as she delivered Marty, the car crash that landed her in the hospital, the day they got partial custody of Jason and lastly she remembered the prayer she said as she lay about to die in the hospital. She opened her eyes to see Dean as he watched her.
“You okay? You were tossing, you need to be careful of your stitches,” he said with concern.
“Dean, I remember. I remember it all,” she said as he looked at her with a smile on his face.
“Yeah, what?”
“Skeptical, huh?”
“No, just curious, humor me,” he said as he kissed her.
“Don’t I always humor you,” she laughed.
“Oh smarty pants now,” he teased her.
“I even remember what you told me at our wedding. Your vows.”
“Okay, shoot.”
“You said, that you will do things and act in ways that I may not like, though you may not be hyper emotional you would always love me, until your dying day,” she said with tears in her eyes.
“Well that is pretty darn close to what I said,” he smirked.
“What did I leave out?”
“Just that I said, I want you at my side no matter what happens in our lives,” he insisted with a kiss just before the door was flung open by Deanna.
“Can I get in with you?” the little girl asked unaware of what she had interrupted.
“What’s up Dee Dee,” Dean asked as he moved over for her to get in their King sized bed with them.
“The boys are having cereal in the bed with Aunny Sara and Uncle Sam,” she said with a pout.
“And you weren’t invited?” Cassie asked.
“Honey, its Aunty Sara,” Dean corrected as Cassie rolled her eyes at him.
Seriously, this was important to Deanna it was not the time to correct her grammar her eyes told him clearly as he smiled at her. He had missed his wife’s sassiness that was certain.
“Well, how about we get some pop tarts and eat them in here then they will be jealous?” Dean said before he got out of the bed.
“Yes, daddy that would be fun,” Deanna said with a grin as Dean left the room.
Andy sat at the kitchen table while he ate cereal, Dean saw him when he entered the room.
“Hey man, sorry about waking you last night.”
“No problem sorry I could not have been more help,” Andy said between bites.
“Oh don’t worry about it feel free to go back to sleep or watch television when you are done. This is going to be a lazy day, I think,” Dean said as he grabbed some pop tarts to put in the toaster.
He filled a tray with milk, orange juice and grabbed a bottle that he warmed for the baby before he left the kitchen.
He wasn’t surprised to see Cassidy awake and kicking in her crib when he came back in the room. He hated crumbs in his bed but it was for a good cause. He put the drinks on the bed side table and handed a pop tart to Deanna who had her hand out. He went back to pick up Cassidy to feed her as he watched Deanna and Cassie while they ate. Most Sunday’s the kids and Cassie would be at church but today he was glad to just have his girls near him and his boys safe up stairs with his brother. He silently thanked God that they were all in one house as a family.
Hold on….
There is a bit more..
{Flash Forward one week}
Picture taking day at the local Olan Mills location.
Dean and Cassie always liked to have pictures of the kids when they were small. Today they had chosen black as the color for the pictures. Unfortuanely, Deanna wanted to wear her pink boots, but it was decided they would just let her.
Dean and the boys wore black shirts and black pants as well as shoes. Cassie wore a black slipdress, while Cassidy had a fancy black dress on and her hair in waves around her head with a pink bow. Dean thought she looked like an angel. Deanna wore a frilly black top with black jeans over her boots. Cassie had no idea that she also wore a black AC/DC shirt underneath for her and her daddy’s picture.
Sam and Sara came also to take pictures with the family and on their own. Sara had on an off the shoulder cream colored dress that matched Sams’s cream shirt with stripes. He wore khaki’s to add color to the shot.
The first pictures where of Dean, Cassie and the girls, then them with the boys.
Next, came the boys including Sam and Dean.
Following that Cassie got her surprise when Deanna pulled over her cute top to show her t-shirt, for a moment she looked hesitantly at her mother’s raised eyebrow but Dean only laughed. He was the one who told her to wear it. He and Deanna’s shot was perfect as he sat down and she leaned in beside him, with an innocent look on her face. Her hair was in waves around her shoulder because she wanted to look like her mother. Cassie laughed at the two of them, Deanna’s waves were nothing like Cassie’s they were softer and clung to her head elegantly. Cassie knew Deanna could be a model but either way Dean was going to have a hard time keeping the boys away from his daughter.
There were several more pictures, including ones of Sam and Sara alone. But the last one was of all the Winchesters, Sam and Sara stood at the back of the family as they grinned happy to be included in Cassie and Dean’s family photo.
