Deanna smiled as her Dad picked her up when he came from Cassidy's room. Cassie went downstairs to bed to give the two times for their goodnight.
"Oh you are getting big," Dean said as he put Deanna in her bed.
"Oh Daddy you always say that...I was scared for you today," she said with a frown.
Dean frowned he hated that his family had to ever be afraid though it was sometimes like that in life. He hoped that eventually Deanna would be able to control her gift enough to enjoy life. Until then he had to make certain she was able to be a carefree child. He wanted a life for his children that he never had. Unfortunately that meant for the time being maybe lying a bit to them for the betterment later on.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you all. Sometimes as much as we try bad things happen but this all turned out good. I promise," he lied.
Deanna pursed her lip and tilted her head she didn't totally believe the hype but her daddy was back and that was what was important. "K."
Dean ruffled her curls, "Don't tell anyone but if you want me to read a quick story I will," he said before he sat back on the bed and grabbed a book off the table.
She smiled and nodded.
Downstairs John spoke to Cassie while Alexis got their things together.
"We are going to leave from here the guys know what happening. Missouri has taken care of all the travel plans," he said before he hugged his daughter in law.
So much that could have been said had to wait till later. John was on the run effective immediately. He was so glad that Missouri had stepped in to do all the thinking because his heart hurt from losing his wife. He hadn't love much in his life except his kids but Vickie despite her issues had at times been perfect for him. He would miss her.
"Okay, you be safe," she said before Alexis walked up.
"Ready Dad," she turned to Cassie, "thanks for letting me be part of your family."
Cassie reached over to hug her too, "We love you it has been a pleasure we will see you again, ...Godspeed you two," Cassie added before they walked out to the truck.
The plan:
Almost as soon as Vickie died Missouri had gotten tickets for John and Alexis to get out of town. They were going to an unknown location supplied by Bobby. Vickie's resignation would show up at the hospital after a few days with an apology. It would seem that John had gotten a position of a lifetime that they couldn't turn down. It all depended on them leaving right away. As far as the college John's position was almost up for renewal, so the timing in that area had worked out also. After a few weeks Vickie would be reported as having been in an accident and her coven members would have to keep quiet because of their involvement in the entire affair regarding John. Alexis father would have to stay in the dark as far as the detail though Alexis was close to John but her father needed her with him.
Sarah and Sam bunked down in the guest room with the twins. It was almost a blessing they were so young. The adults spoke in low tones.
"I think that your gift was activated by the need that I had for it," Sam said as he cuddled close to Sarah.
Sarah nodded part of her wanted very much to forget the events of earlier. "It makes sense I mean all the time it seems I am receiving new I hate to say powers but they have done nothing but keep us safe. I mean the mind reading with Vickie gave us the heads up on her and now this."
Sam nodded against her forehead. "Yes I think we shouldn't worry about it so much but for now focus on giving our kids a normal life. When the paranormal seeks us again we will be prepared."
Sarah liked the sound of that she believed they needed to count their blessing for the time being. Looking into things and abusing them had been her father's problem. She didn't want to ever go down that road.
"Remind me later today to make that call for Dad to the hospital," Sam said sleepily as he yawned.
Dean arrived in the bedroom almost a half hour later, "So she talked you into reading to her?" Cassie asked after he took off his clothes to snuggle up next to her. "Well it may have been my idea; she looked so worried though she tried to hide it."
Cassie sighed. So much to say but it was late; they were bone tired and most of it went unsaid. "I love you," Dean said before he dozed off. Cassie wrapped her arms around his waist and smiled. There had never been any real doubt about that. She would finally open her heart completely to her family and let life come naturally to them.
-At Noon a week later...
Courtney knocked on the door with a smile on her face. She was ready to see her son and she wasn't leaving without a visit or so she hoped.
Cassie almost didn't check the peep hole because she had expected their water delivery man. "DEAN," she said as she went back toward the den. "Yeah?"
He met her in the hallway, "It's Jason's mother," she whispered.
"What?
"Yeah, deal with it," she said with a sassy smile before she returned to the kitchen.
Dean made a quick phone call before he slowly opened the door.
"You can't be here," he said with a frown.
Courtney pushed her way into the living room. She turned around, "Where is Jason?"
He is not here right now I will tell him you came by," Dean said calmly while he stalled.
It wasn't five minutes later till there was another knock on the door.
Dean opened it, "We are here to pick up …" the policeman began.
"Come right in officer she is right here."
Courtney was taken away in hand cuffs because she had been missing from her designated incarceration center as well she was trespassing by being in Dean's home without his consent. Technically she didn't ask to come in the door.
The judge assured Dean he wouldn't have to worry about Courtney again. The kidnapping charge, the lying in the asylum the escaping across the world had all caught up with her. Her parents were done putting up with her ways they agreed that she needed time away to consider what she had done.
The End.
