Our Way of Life

"Sure," Angelina said, turning to face Allie and hiding the pain that she felt, "What's up?"

"Uh," Allie blanked, feeling nervous for some reason. "Thank you, for what you did by the lake. I love you."

"You don't have to thank me," Angelina told her, swallowing passed the lump that had formed in his throat, "I love you too."

"Ang, what's the matter?" Allie asked gently

"We died... we died and we hadn't sorted things out," Angelina mumbled, looking down at the ground and continuing, "Where did you go when you died?"

Allie looked to her hands, remembering the heat on her body and screaming for Angelina to help. "I uh," she held around herself. "Hell."

"I thought you would have gone up... I deserve to go down, but not you," Angelina stated with a frown, finding that her thoughts were jumbled and that she probably wasn't making any sense.

Allie shook her head. "You deserve good too, Angelina. All I remember was feeling this intense pain and heat, and you -" she felt tears come to her eyes. "I called out for you to help me."

"All I remember is darkness, hot chains on my wrists and ankles," Angelina told her, closing her eyes against the images that now flashed before her eyes, "All I could think about was the fact that you hated me and that we didn't get to fix things..."

Allie shook her head. "I don't hate you, I never could hate you."

"It scares me you know," Angelina admitted quietly.

"What does? Me hating you, or Hell?" Allie asked, taking Angelina's hands within her own.

"Losing you has always scared me... but losing you when things are frayed between us," Angelina said as tears ran down her face, "I don't want to die, unsure of where we stand..."

Allie nodded, pulling Angelina into a tight hug, always instinctively protecting her. "How about a night to ourselves? I still haven't met Eden..."

"Do you think the boys will mind?" Angelina asked with a frown, holding Allie just as close, "I just... I need..."

"They won't mind at all." Allie rubbed Angelina's back. "If you have to koala on me, I don't mind that, either."

Chuckling, Angelina took a deep breath and stepped away from her best friend. "Meet you in my room in five?"

Allie smiled and nodded. "3, 2, 1... go!" She laughed, racing down the hall. Disappearing to her room, Allie smiled at Sam, changing to some pyjamas and changing Benji to his little Superman pyjama onesie. "Ang and I are having a Mama baby night."

Heading back to the bedroom, Angelina handed Dean the beer she had got him and gave him a small smile. "Allie and I are going to have a girl's night with Eden and Benji... is that okay with you?"

"Good," Sam replied with a smile, "You both need it."

Dean smiled. "No problem with me, gorgeous, you both need some quality time." He pressed a kiss to Angelina's cheek as he got up, stroking through Eden's hair.

Letting Sam have a final cuddle with Benji, she kissed his head and disappeared to Angelina's room, smiling at Dean as he went to join Sam. "Knock, knock."
