Carry On.

@ AngelicWasteland;
Sam continued to drive as he gently squeezed her hand, realizing that Roxanne was deep in thought. There wasn't a moment throughout the day that he didn't worry about his family. This wasn't the safest job to have a family but Sam always did what he could to keep them safe. He pulled up to the store and looked over at Roxanne, gently lifting her hand and kissing it. "Are you alright?" he asked her, wondering what was going on through her mind.

"I guess looking up the cases and seeing the pattern" Austin said as she finished up the dishes and then grabbed the tablet from the table before sitting down next to him. She opened it up and began looking at the crime scene photos and case files. "Oh wow" she said as she read over them.

"I'm fine," Roxanne reassured him, climbing out before he could ask any more questions and unbuckling Lana from her car seat with a smile before looking over at Wyatt, "Do you know what comics you're looking for, bud?"

"Captain America or Spiderman... I haven't got many of them," Wyatt replied, jumping out the car as Roxanne positioned Lana on her hip and grabbing his mom's hand.

"That's graphic... not your usual demon kill, these murders are overkill," Dean added as he looked at the screen over Austin's shoulder, "This is a clear message."

@ AngelicWasteland;
Sam watched Roxanne with a soft frown as she got out of the car. He then got out, helping Roxanne with the kids. He held Lana before grabbing Roxanne's hand. He laughed softly at their son who was so excited about getting comic books.

Austin nodded. "Whoever did this was very extremely angry. It couldn't have been human." she said stunned at what she was seeing in the crime scene photos. There was so much gore in them and it made her feel nauseous. She got up and ran to the trash can, throwing up.

Following Wyatt as he made his way towards the comic book shop, Roxanne showed him to where the comics were that he was after and picked out a few that she thought he'd like. It took nearly fifteen, before he was satisfied with his choice and they went to pay.

"Where to next?" Roxanne asked Sam as she handed Lana a lollipop that the man behind the counter had given them.

"Are you okay?" Dean asked worriedly, knowing that morning sickness sucked and remembering having to deal with it last time, "Maybe you should let us handle this case, do research from home and just relax for a while?"

@ AngelicWasteland;
Sam smiled as Lana ate it happily, being content. “Well we could go to the toy store and let miss Lana pick out something” he said. “Then we could go get I-c-e c-r-e-am” he then whispered so the kids couldn’t hear.

Austin wiped her mouth and nodded. She then looked at him when he mentioned her staying behind. “I want to come with you” she said as he looked at him. “They are coming after hunters. We need to stick together. That means kids coming to. We have to protect our family” she said softly.

"That sounds like a plan," Roxanne agreed, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck stick up and scanning the crowds of people for anything suspicious, "Let's go."

"I agree," Dean added with a frown, "I'm just not sure how Roxie is going to feel about it... you know, Wyatt is about the same age and Sam and I when we started training."

@ AngelicWasteland;
Sam smiled. He was on edge too but trying to keep the kids distracted currently. Wyatt grabbed Roxannes hand and Lana reached for Sam. “Okay. I know you wanna be tall” he chuckled as picked her up, then walked with Roxanne and Wyatt to the toy store since they were in a mall.

Austin nodded. “Yeah I know but what are we going to do we can leave the kids here. They have to be apart of it for this case atleast. We can distract them” she said rubbing her temples. Being pregnant she didn’t need this stress but she needed to be on the case with her husband and her family.

Roxanne followed the other, keeping her eyes open and half her attention on the people around them. There was no telling what was out there, but an attack in a busy mall was less than likely and that alone, helped her relax a bit.

"You know, I don't feel entirely comfortable with you being near this case... I know that you want to be with us," Dean stated, just trying to be open and honest with his wife, "But the thought of you getting hurt isn't something that I want to be carrying while hunting."

@ AngelicWasteland;
Sam held Wyatt’s hand and carried Lana. He walked with Roxanne into the toy store. He was worried about his wife as he walked. He carried Lana to the stuffed animal section, Wyatt looking as well. “You okay babe?” He asked Roxy while the kids were distracted.

—-

Austin shook her head. “So what? I am supposed to be here alone with the children in a bunker where something can get us. They are going after hunters homes. You don’t think they will find about this place.” She said. She didn’t want to fight with her husband.

"We're being watched," Roxanne replied quietly, keeping track of Wyatt at all times and tensing when she spotted a guy watching them from the other end of the aisle, "Wyatt, have you decided what you want?"

"Can I get both of these?" Wyatt asked, showing Roxanne two comics that he'd pulled from the rack and fist-pumping when Roxanne nodded.

"Fine, okay... we'll figure something out," Dean stated, not wanting to argue and heading to the library to do some research. He loved his wife more than anything, but sometimes... sometimes he wished that she was a bit more like Roxy and listened to his worries.
