Worry Ch 5

Warning, you may want tissues. Or not, but I was choked up writing some of this. Maybe because I know how much the brothers care for one another. anyway, carry on!

Dean began to pace. Amy should have been out by now. Did something happen? Dean began to walk to the door when Amy came out smiling. She said something to the nurse who looked at Dean, then nodded and went into the back corridor. Amy looked at Dean and motioned with her hand for him to follow her. He was slightly confused, but followed her to a far room. In it he saw Sam sitting up staring at the wall and smiling.

"Hey Sammy. How ya feeling?" Dean pulled up a chair and sat next to his brother. Sam looked at Dean with a confused look.

"Dean, where am I?" Sam asked his brother. Amy felt like she should leave the brothers to talk without her. Who was she to interrupt family time? Dean was too focused on Sam to notice her leaving.

"We are in Tahoe, Nevada. At the uh.. at the hospital." Sam reached for Dean. Dean grabbed his little brother's hand.

"Sam, you are going to be alright. I am so sorry." Dean felt so guilty for his brother's injuries. He felt like he was responsible. Sam's face went from smiling to straight that Dean was confused for a second.

"Dean!" Sam's eyes were opened wide, revealing their color. They were a gray-green. Dean squeezed Sam's hand to assure him he was alright. Sam yanked on Dean's arm, practically pulling him onto the bed.

"Sam, what's wrong?" Dean began to look around the room. Tears filled Sam's eyes, threatening to spill out. Dean shook his head, not wanting to see his little brother cry.

"It's not your fault. You're my brother, I love you. No matter what happens, you will always be my big brother and my best friend." A lump formed in Dean's throat as tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Sammy, why are you talking like that? I'm gonna get you out of this!" Tears fell from Sam's eyes as he blinked. With a deep breath, Sam pulled his brother in for a hug.

"Jerk." Sam whispered into Dean's ear. Dean shook his head violently, not wanting to accept what he was sure was happening. Sam's eyes were closed and his breathing began to slow.

"Sam, no! God dammit Sammy, stay with me! SAM!" Dean began to shake his brother. The last breath he took shook his entire body.
"I need help in here! Somebody help me!" Dean screamed, not leaving Sam's side. He wiped the tears from his little brother's cheeks as doctors and nurses rushed into the room. A loud, long beep was heard as Dean was dragged from the room. Dean watched from the doorway as the doctor brought out a defibrillator.

"CLEAR!" The doctor shouted before putting the two machines to Sam's chest. Suddenly, a hand was on Dean's shoulder. He looked and saw LJ standing there, fear in her eyes. She looked to Sam and shook her head as tears fell from her eyes. She pulled Dean close to her into a tight hug. LJ looked into the room behind Dean and let out a breath of release when she saw the doctors smiling. The heart monitor was moving again and Sam was breathing. Dean looked behind him, but the doctors shook their heads. LJ understood that they did not know how long Sam was going to last and she pulled Dean away.

"LJ, no. I have to be here for him. No matter what, I cannot leave him!" Dean pulled away from her.

"Dean, I understand. Just come over here for a minute." She sat on the floor with her back leaning against the wall and patted the floor next to her.

"Dean, please sit with me." Knowing that there was no way the doctors would let him in there, Dean decided to sit next to his friend until the doctors left the room. LJ wiped the tears from Dean's cheeks.

"Dean, thank you for coming." She laid her head on Dean when Amy came skidding around the corner. LJ sent her a look. Amy looked toward Sam's room then back at LJ. LJ motioned to Dean next to her as if to say "I got this." Amy nodded and turned away. Dean looked at LJ, unsure of how to express the feelings he had. Nobody noticed that she was only a few feet away.

"I have watched him die before. I have never been there for him fast enough. I'm never there fast enough for him." Fresh tears glistened on Dean's cheeks. LJ just listened, unsure of what to say. She watched as three nurses left the room and headed down the corridor.

"I sold my soul the first time for him, and you know what? I would do it again. Sam was so mad when he found out; he tried everything to get me out of the deal. I'd sell my soul again just to be sure he was safe. Alive."

"That is stupid, Dean. Very stupid." Dean looked at the girl who was leaning on the wall.

"Sam is going to be just fine. He always is. Didn't he watch you die every day for over a hundred days in a row? Trust me, you both will always be fine because you're you. You do not know how many legends there are about you two. I never even believed you guys existed until I met you in that warehouse." Amy crossed her arms across her chest and stared at Dean who had a look of shock on his face.

"Amy, you-"

"Don't understand? You may think I don't understand you, but I do. Too well. You love your brother because you practically raised him. You have saved his life more times than you can remember. The very first night after that fire burned down your house, you promised him that you would always look after him. You gave up your childhood so he can have one. You protected him from the real world for as long as possible. Dean listen to me. I do understand. I have been in your position before, believe me. I would do anything to have-" Amy stopped herself. She closed her eyes tightly, holding back the tears.

"Dean. Sam will be alright. I promise you that much." Amy's voice shook as she took slow, deep breaths. LJ stared at the girl, unsure of how to feel. LJ finally caught Amy's eye, but Amy turned her back and walked away.

Blair was sitting in the room arguing with a nurse.

"Yo, he is mine. My baby! I have the right to freaking see my child!"

"I cannot let you see him right now. You need to sleep and-" Blair interrupted him.

"I. Do. Not. Care. You either get me my baby or I will get him myself." The nurse just nodded his head and hurried out the room. She almost ran into Amy who was making her way out to the waiting room.

"Umm, excuse me?" She heard a small, sweet voice come out of the room. She took a step back and looked in to see the reason she was even here in the first place. Well, one of the reasons. Amy looked around the empty corridor, unsure if this Blair girl even saw her when she first entered the room.

"Yes you, blondie." Amy saw the girl blush slightly as she called in the stranger.

"How is Sam? Have you checked on him?" Amy shook her head. She rarely talked to females unless she was threatening them or trying to pry information from them.

"Well uhh.. He sorta had to have those shock thingies because his heart stopped, but he is stable now." Blair's blue eyes widened in shock revealing light green specks in them. Amy shrank back. She probably should not have told this girl that, but she couldn't help herself. Before she could say anything else, a cold shiver ran down her spine. She whipped around and almost knocked the nurse on his ass while carrying a baby.

"Uh sorry." Amy went around the guy and rushed out of the room, unsure of where she was headed.

"Wait, where are you going?" Amy heard the girl call. She had no time to explain, all she knew was that when she got these feelings, something bad was about to happen. She skidded to a halt at Sam's room and looked inside to see an unconscious Sam laying on the bed. Quickly scanning her memory, Amy thought of where Dean and LJ could have gone. She turned around and ran smack into LJ and they both were knocked on their asses.

"Where's Dean?" They asked at the same time.

"I thought he was with you!" Amy exclaimed!

"He said he was going to find you!" LJ replied, getting to her feet. She and Amy shared a look and both took off to the parking lot where they saw the Impala pull out. LJ sighed and motioned for Amy to follow her. She then jumped into a new dark blue Mustang GT.

"Get in." LJ commanded and stared the car. Amy was in love with the car, but had no time to look it over since she was in a hurry to get Dean before he did anything stupid. LJ hit the steering wheel, cursing herself for letting him go alone. They easily caught up with him, but he clearly didn't want any of that and tried to shake them. He made drastic turns and tried everything to shake them, but LJ stayed right on his ass. Amy was holding onto the door and the dashboard for dear life. She hated roller-coasters and this felt exactly like one. LJ leaned over and began to rummage through the glove-box at over a hundred mph, making Amy freak out more.

"Both hands on the wheel!" She shrieked, breathing heavily. LJ smiled slightly, then pointed to the compartment.

"Get out my cell and call that son of a bitch!" She commanded, swerving to avoid a cone that Dean had hit. Just as Amy got the phone from the box, LJ slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel sharply. Amy braced herself for the impact she was sure to come. She felt the car as it was on two wheels and was shocked when there was no heavy impact.

"Why isn't this bastard called yet?" LJ snapped at Amy, again accelerating. This time, they were going the opposite direction. Amy called Dean, not surprised when he didn't answer.

"Shit!" LJ exclaimed as she again slammed on her brakes. Amy looked up and saw that Dean and the Impala had knocked something big in the road and there was no way around it. LJ cussed aloud as she jumped out of the car to get the thing out of the road. Amy followed her, wanting to be on solid ground once again. She felt as though she was going to puke. What the hell was Dean up to? She was shocked to get a call on the phone with the caller ID of Dean.

"Dean?"

"Where the hell did you take my car!?" He yelled through the phone, obviously steaming.

"What are you talking about? We have been chasing you down trying to get you to-" That was when Amy realized what just happened. Dean's car was stolen. After a long talk with Dean trying to get him to calm down, Amy and LJ made their way back to the hospital to a now scarier, fuming Dean.

"You let that sonuvabitch take Baby!?" He was clenching and unclenching his fists. LJ snuck away to check on Blair leaving Amy to calm down this Hunter she hardly knew.

"Listen, we thought it was you and-"

"I told you I wouldn't leave Sam!" He yelled, getting the attention of the hospital staff. Amy smiled shyly and pulled him into an empty room. After almost an hour of trying to get him to calm down, Amy finally got him to call someone about his car. LJ came in to "relieve Amy of duty" by telling her that Blair wanted to talk to her. Amy was nervous for some unknown reason. When she walked into the room, Blair was holding the little bundle and rocking it back and forth. A lump formed in Amy's throat and she would not go any closer than the doorway.

"Come on in. LJ tells me your name is Amy?" Amy grabs a chair and pulls it to the doorway, not wanting to get too close.

"I don't bite, sweetheart." Blair smiled at the wary Hunter as she held her bundle of joy. She smiled down at him.

"Only LJ knows, but I named him John. After their dad..." Blair blushed at the admission. Amy sent a fake smile to her, but eyed the child in Blair's arms.

"You want to hold him?" Amy shook her head.

"I'm not really a um.. I'm not a kid person." Blair tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, but Amy saw that the flash of offense in the young girl's eyes.

"It's a long, sad story that I would rather not explain." Amy said, trying to ease the hurt. Blair just nodded and shrugged.

"Everyone has their own opinions." Amy was about to speak when she heard a whisper in the hallway. She moved so that she could see out the door but nobody could see her and motioned for Blair to stay quiet. Amy saw two nurses whispering and they both kept warily glancing around. Amy grew suspicious and began to tiptoe out of the room when both nurses looked in her direction. She jumped back into the room, hoping she was not seen. After what seemed like an eternity, she chanced another look at the nurses and was shocked to see what was going on. She put the gun back behind her and crept back into the room, daring to get closer to Blair and her baby, John. Blair gave her a questioning look. Amy stifled a laugh and felt a smile spread across her face.

"Tell me!" Blair demanded, also smiling. Amy motioned out to the corridor with her head.

"There are two nurses going at it just down the hall. Something I thought only happened on television." Blair gave Amy a look of shock. They both burst out in laughter, but quickly stifled it so they didn't interrupt the 'couple'. Blair and Amy talked until they saw sunlight begin to shine through the window. A doctor knocked on the door and poked her head in.

"Hello. Um, I'm going to have to take John. And I think your friend should be waking up soon. Blair, if you want to get up and see if you can walk, feel free to do so." Blair reluctantly handed over John and stood up. Amy reached out to steady her and helped her to Sam's room.
