Work Text:
Dean was making calls all day. Emma, who'd had her work cut out for her all day, had been busy working on quite a few big projects. Including a '59 Nomad.
"I think it should look like Jill's Nomad on Home Improvement. It was her dream car." Emma said. "And then the next car is a Studebaker. The client's mother is an Amy Pond? Funny, must be a Whovian." Emma said as she was eating lunch. "Mom wanted me to get into Doctor Who for a while, but I'm not really into that show. I understand those who are into it? But it's just not for me."
"Wait, did you say Amy Pond?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, her son Jacob's the owner of the Studebaker. Real beaut, too. You can come look at it. Why?" Emma asked.
"Amy Pond was the fake name of the Kitsune I killed." Dean explained.
"Oh, I see. Well I'll fight to keep you from getting dead again." Emma promised. "But first, I MUST finish that Nomad. I hope the owner of the Nomad likes Home Improvement."

Dean was taking calls from all his clients after lunch. Between those calls though, Cas called.
"Hey, hon. Feeling like Chicago style everything tonight. What do want?" Cas asked.
"Death loved the pizza there, even offered me a slice of his pizza while we were talking. You in the mood for that pizza, baby?" Dean asked.
"That and the hot dogs. I'll be sure to get the ingredients. Onions, poppy seed bun, Dill pickle spears, sweet relish and tomato wedges. Just grew some tomatoes too." Cas said as Dean swooned.
"Sounds great, babe. Oh, I better go, a client's about to walk in." Dean said.
"Okay, see you at home." Cas said as he made kissy sounds into his cell before he and Dean disconnected.
"Mr. Winchester?" A young adult voice called as he walked in.
"Yeah?" Dean asked.
"You may not remember me, but I promised I'd kill you." The voice grew darker as he then began to elongate his fingers into claws. "I told you I'd grow strong enough to one day kill you. I missed a lot with my mom, Dean Winchester. Now I get to exact my revenge for what you did to me."
"Jacob?" Dean asked.
"The one and only. I'm surprised you remember my name. You seem to forget how your mother sacrificed her spirit to cancel out the poltergeist. Don't act so surprised. It's the stuff of legends in the Monster community." Jacob said. "The ghost of Mary Campbell Winchester, murdered by Hell Prince Azazel on November 2nd, 1983. 22 Years later, a family of three moves into the Winchester family home at the same time a poltergeist does, while the oldest daughter of the family that moves in sees the fiery ghost of Mary Winchester in her closet, as her mother had her take what was once Sam Winchester's nursery. With help from you, Sam and medium Missouri Moseley, you first tried to cleanse the house of the poltergeist but it didn't work. So you and Sam stayed behind just in case something went wrong, and wrong did something go until the ghost in the oldest daughter's bedroom revealed herself to be Mary Winchester, who said one last goodbye to her two boys before chasing after the poltergeist, saving her sons and the family living in that house. My mom and I heard that story echoing through our heads when Eve was revived and my mom repeated that story when I got sick, as a justification as to why she was sacrificing her morals to save me." Jacob said. Dean started to develop a lump in his throat. "My mom may be alive, but I missed a lot of milestones with her, Dean. And I want you to pay." He said as he was about to take a swing. Suddenly though, his hand was pulled back by a cord.
"I wouldn't if I were you, Kitsune." Emma said.
"I heard about you in the papers, the Amazon daughter of a Winchester." Jacob said as his claws elongated further, his fangs coming in. "So Jack resurrected you too?"
"He did. What of it?" Emma asked.
"Have you got your powers now?" Jacob asked.
"As soon as I was back. But I was sure to have him call his fiancee before he completely went. He then revived him." Emma said.
"I see. But you get to play catch-up with your daddy while I'll never get to see my mother's face as I graduate high school, or play my first game of soccer in school, win my first spelling bee. You get to learn how to change oil and maintain a car in general. I don't get ANY of that with my mom. Is that fair, Amazon?" Jacob knelt down in a fuming rage, then pounded his fists to the floor. Dean went to comfort him, but Emma gave him the universal gesture for "Back off!", and Dean did just that.
"My mom felt just as robbed. She'd never had a child before, she was nervous and always wanted to be a mom. The night Dean Winchester impregnated her was the best night of her life because that meant she was finally a mom. That next day, she happy cried when she felt me coming. She knew my name was gonna be Emma from the very beginning and I was a blessing. She's been hunting Sam this whole time after what had happened. I may be an Amazon, but I'm still a Winchester and I've grown to love my family. You gotta let go, I even had to call my mom telling her to let it go. You gotta too." Emma said and Jacob pounded his fists one last time before changing back to his Human form.
"How do I do that?" Jacob asked.
"If you want, I can help. We're both technically monsters since I'm an Amazon and we gain our powers by killing our dads. Come on, we'll take care of that Studebaker together." Emma offered as Jacob took her hand. Dean decided to go home early. When he got home, he just held Cas close to him.
"I've been stubborn and pigheaded." Dean said as he nuzzled his fiancee's neck.
"Oh?" Cas asked. Dean told him everything. Cas held his hand as he listened to Dean tell Cas how Jacob had heard of Mary's spirit's sacrifice from Eve's temporary revival. Dean began to cry and Cas held him close as the younger man tucked his face into the crook of Cas's neck.
"You did what you thought was right, Dean. Even if it ended up wrong, you did what you thought was right and that's all that matters. C'mon, let's not do Chicago dogs tonight for dinner. We'll go out for dinner instead at the Roadhouse." Cas said as he and Dean walked out to the Impala. Once outside, they were shocked to see Jacob's Studebaker with Jacob and Emma making out.
"Emma?" Dean asked. Emma then pulled away from Jacob.
"Oh, sorry I haven't come in yet, Dad. Jacob offered to drive me home after we finished fixing his car and I locked up once closing time hit. He pulled into the drive, I thanked him, one thing led to another and you caught us kissing just now." Emma explained.
"I see that." Dean said. Cas watched confused.
"Jacob as in the Kitsune whose mother you killed?" Cas asked.
"Yes." Jacob said. "I lost some milestones with my mom, but Emmy here has been helping me cope. She really helps me keep my mind off of getting revenge, we talk and she has beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous reddish brownish blonde hair and she keeps me calm." Jacob then proceeded to kiss her again before Dean cut them short.
"Oh you know what? Cas and I were just about to head to the Roadhouse to have dinner. Emma, why don't you come with us? Getting out of the house will do you some good." Dean said as he pulled Emma out of the car gently.
"Oh-okay, Dad. But you don't have to act like a caveman. I know I'm still your baby, but you gotta remember. He's still tender from ten years ago and you're starting to act a bit too much like William Petersen in Fear with Reese Witherspoon. Relax, don't be Tony Danza or I'll have to fly off to Europe after my Prom night." Emma eased Dean and even if he did get those references, he still couldn't help it.
"Fine. I'll wait in the car for you to say your goodnights. But don't go taking him on a roller coaster and letting him finger you during the ride." Dean said.
"Dean!" Cas said.
"That's what happens in Fear, Cas. Don't worry about it." Emma said to Cas as she turned to say goodnight to Jacob. "Would you like to help me go vintage car shopping next week?" Emma asked Jacob once she turned back to him.
"Sure." Jacob said as they kissed one last time and parted ways.
"HAVE A NICE NIGHT!" Emma called as he drove away and Jacob gave her the "Okay" sign as he drove off. "So, Cas has never seen Fear? You should get on that." Emma said as she got in the back seat. "The poor thing's as pop culture starved as Jack's occasionally nougat starved."
"I understand, hon." Dean said as he looked at Cas. "We'll look for it on Hulu or Prime Video." Dean said and Cas frowned.
"I don't like being shamed like this." Cas said.
"You're not the only one being shamed, babe." Dean said as he started the car up and began the long drive to the Roadhouse.
The End
