Miracle woke up to the smell of bacon. Excitedly, she leaped onto the bed to lick Dean's face.
"Mmph, good morning, Miracle. How'd you sleep?" Dean asked as he and Miracle shared a hug before Dean too smelled bacon. "Mmm, smells like Daddy's making bacon. Either him or Emma. C'mon, let's find out." Dean said as he got out of bed, Miracle following suit. Together, they went downstairs and walked through the living room into the kitchen to see Emma cooking bacon, sausage and making French toast.
"Mornin', Dad, Miracle." Emma addressed. "Cas is collecting some honey from the garden and he asked me to start making breakfast." Emma said as she gave a cooled down piece to Miracle. She munched on the bacon and licked hier teeth once she'd finished her piece.
"Everything looks delicious. Did you cut some Pepper jack for the sausage?" Dean asked.
"I thought it'd work for the sandwiches I'm making. I also made brioche rolls to put the sausage on and I'm making over easy eggs to go on top of the cheese." Emma said. Dean and Miracle's mouths both cartoonishly watered. Suddenly, Cas came in.
"Hey, handsome. Care to pull out some butter so I can make honey butter for the French toast?" Cas asked as he walked over to Dean and kissed him.
"Oh you know it, baby." Dean said as he pulled out the butter and put it in a bowl to soften so Cas could mix honey into it. Miracle walked towards her dinner bowl and Emma filled it with some steak, a little salmon oil to top and some strips of carrot to clean her teeth.

After a delicious breakfast, Emma got Miracle's leash and walked her to the park.
"So I'm eyeing a gorgeous cherry red Chevy Bel-Air, and after I passed my classes for the year and got my license recently, it's definitely a beauty. What do you think, Miracle?" Emma showed Miracle. However, Miracle thought it was boring, the talk of cars and human problems concerning passing things. The second she saw the spacious grassy knoll in the dog park, she fought to pull away. "Jesus, girl. Wait for me to take off your leash so you can run to meet all your fellow canines." Emma said as she unhooked Miracle. Finally, she was free and ran to sniff the area. There, she met a group of dogs that also turned into Humans. A concept she'd never heard of before.
"Hey, l'il lady." One Skinwalker, as they called themselves, said to her. "Name's Shadow. You're definitely not a Skinwalker, so we're gonna call you Slick due to you being new. Wanna play with us?" Shadow asked. Miracle obliged until she met a Familiar. Meanwhile, said Familiar's owner sat down next to Emma to monitor her, keeping an even closer eye on Miracle. But not before striking an introduction to Emma.
"Hi, name's Dale." The Familiar's owner greeted.
"Emma. That French Poodle yours?" Emma responded.
"Yep, that's my Giselle. That your dog coming near her?" Dale asked.
"Miracle, yeah. Technically, she's my dad's. But I promised to walk her today since it's my day off from working at both his place and Harvelle's Roadhouse." Emma said.
"Is she fixed?" Dale asked.
Emma saw that as a red flag. "Is yours? And does it matter? They're both girls." Emma talked back. Meanwhile, Miracle ran back to Emma with a ball Shadow had gifted her, asking her to throw it.
"You want this ball? Okay, girl. GO GET THE BALL!" Emma called as she threw it as far as she wanted it to without throwing it out of the park. Miracle caught it in no time at all and ran right back to her. "GOOD girl, Miracle." Emma said as she kissed his forehead. "I know we've only been here a few minutes, but we need to get back to Dad." Emma said as Miracle got leashed. Suddenly, Dale held Emma back.
"Not so fast, my dog just got mounted." Dale said.
"I saw no such thing, your dog and Miracle were doing nothing, I paid attention the whole time. And besides, they're both girls." Emma reiterated.
"Lies." He said. Annoyed by this guy already since Emma said it was time to go home, Miracle managed to get out of her collar and ran to get help.
"MIRACLE!" Emma called and started to chase after her when Dale tightened his grip on Emma. "Let go of me, I'm responsible for her until we get home." She said, and was about to grip his wrist when suddenly, he chanted something in her ear and she was weaker than even before she killed Dean. "You're a witch." She wheezed.
"And I know who YOU are, Amazon." Dale said as he called Giselle, who shifted and helped Dale carry Emma into his car to hold for a spell. Meanwhile, Miracle ran to get help. She followed her nose for Cas and Dean, knowing they would help. Searching first at Dean's work at the restoration place. Sometimes she'd walk there with Dean on days he had paperwork.
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"Winchester Auto Restoration, Dean speaking. Oh hi, Garth. You got a lead on a '57 Bel-Air for Emma? That's great, dude. Come on by next week and we'll get started on working on her." Dean said as he was working on a Thunderbird for a client. Meanwhile, Kaia and Claire, who had just decided to work for Dean, shooed Miracle away thinking he was a stray.
"He/she can't be here. Dean has a policy against dogs being in construction areas for the cars." Claire said.
"Maybe, but they're adorable. Kinda reminds me of Miracle. You think we can get a dog like this one?" Kaia asked. Miracle got bored with their conversation and went into Dean's office. Claire stopped talking and went after her.
"Hey, wait. You're not supposed to go in there!" Claire called out as she chased Miracle with a harness Dean kept on a hook outside in case stray dogs came over to the building. Not wanting to be mistaken for a stray at the pound, she ran out and gave up going to Dean's office, then just bolted for downtown. "HAVE A GOOD DAY!" Claire called out as she waved to the dog. "I think they got the message."
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Tired and hungry from all that running, Miracle took a rest and went to sit on a shady piece of sidewalk. Unbeknownst to her, she'd done so in front of a restaurant and butcher shop. The owner looked outside the window and was looking quite pissed at first, but Miracle just whined as she needed a break. She was pooped afterall.
"Hey! Off the premises, pooch. Go on." The owner called out. But then he stopped when he realized it was a temporary Edsel from Miracle that she couldn't move and knelt down to her. "Oh I see, long morning? Alright, come on in, pal. Too much sun will overheat a dog faster than you can say Fricassee." The owner walked Miracle into the shop and got her some water, which she was grateful for. "You seem like a dog of discriminating taste. My nephew's been thinking we should start catering to dogs. Ah, you talked me into it, buddy." The owner then cooked a wagyu strip, laid it on a blueberry and rice pilaf and topped it with a peanut butter and beef broth bordelaise. Miracle ate it up like the vacuum on Teletubbies sucking up all the Tubby toast crumbs and Tubby custard when the Teletubbies make a mess. Even more grateful, she licked the owner's face once he had finished eating and was off again. "Take care, pupper." The owner said as he went in the back and called his nephew to let him know that the shop was now gonna be pet friendly.

Miracle soon found herself at the Farmer's market. Cas always bought those carrots Emma uses to clean her teeth there. She also knew that was where Cas sold his honey. She went to where Cas's honey stand was and...nothing. He must've gone to lunch with Dean at that point. She huffed and laid down under the stand. Suddenly though, some of Cas's patrons came over to where Miracle was lounging while quietly waiting for Cas.
"Hey, it's Miracle." One patron said. "Hey, buddy. Waiting for Cas? Funny, he went to see Dean for lunch at Gabriel's diner about an hour ago. Man, the paneer dish that his fiancee makes? Just sublime." The patron said.
"Are you talking about the Moontrick cafe? The cakes are to kill for." Another patron said. "Man, now I'm hungry. C'mon, let's go get some curried rice." They left Miracle alone and left the kiosk. Miracle decided then to follow them so she knew where Dean and Cas were.

Back at Dale's lair, he was conjuring a spell. Giselle was watching over Emma, checking her blood.
"What do you want with me?" Emma asked.
"Just want to do a simple spell to eradicate Amazons. I wasn't hoping to come across one though so soon." Dale said. Emma began to struggle, but Giselle found her swiss army knife Dean had given her after she began to work at the roadhouse.
"Looking for this?" Giselle asked. Emma scowled at her.
"You know, you're not gonna get away with kidnapping me." Emma said.
"Please, it's not like your tribe of Amazon is a hive mind." Dale said.
"Not only that." Emma said. Suddenly, Rowena came back from Hell to see on all the witches that are gonna be demons.
"Emma? What are you doing here?" Rowena asked.
"My Queen." Dale got down on one knee. "You know this Amazon?" Rowena began to maniacally laugh.
"Oh, that's rich, dearie. She's more than just an Amazon. She's a Golden Amazon, and the child of a favorite acquaintance of mine. Besides her uncle, who killed her the first time. You done buggered up and caught yourself a Winchester." Rowena said as she freed Emma from her binds.
"A Winchester?" Dale gulped and Giselle cocked an eyebrow.
"I don't understand." Giselle said.
"Sam and Dean Winchester, you dumb bitch." Emma said. "I'm Dean Winchester's daughter. The story of legends, you don't know about us?" Rowena then handed back Emma's swiss army knife and proceeded to fry Giselle.
"GISELLE!" Dale ran towards her, but then Emma gripped his neck.
"Eh eh eh, pal. You are gonna scry for my dad's dog, so I can find Miracle and make sure my dad and Cas don't know I left her to her devices. Or I'm gonna send my boyfriend to eat you." Emma said as she pressed a knife to his neck.
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Miracle found the restaurant and it was there that Gabriel recognized her.
"Oh hey, Miracle. Where's your collar and leash? Bah, I won't rat Emma out if you don't. Meantime, I want you to be my guinea pig for my new promotion: Dog day Afternoons. Dogs eat free daily from Noon-3PM. Kali and I made a coconut lamb and shrimp stew with rice and zested Bhuda's hand." Gabriel said as he gave Miracle a bowl of the meal in question. While scarfing it, Gabriel's dog that he conjured the first time he'd met Sam and Dean came over and proceeded to talk to Miracle. All while Dean and Cas were sitting in the window booth a couple tables over from the door.
"Emma was supposed to call me, let me know when she and Miracle were coming home from their walk." Dean said.
"Maybe she just forgot." Cas said. "She's been doing great with her school and stuff."
"Yeah, but I don't know. Something's off." Dean said. Dean went to use the restroom when he saw a dog that looked just like Miracle talking to Gabriel's dog.
"Miracle?" Dean asked and Miracle, after finishing her meal, jumped up and leaped into Dean's arms. Dean giggled as Miracle licked his face.
"HahahaHAH! Alright, buddy. Hi, I missed you too. Where's your collar? Where's Emma, Miracle?" Dean asked.
"According to Sparky here, a witch kidnapped her after he accused Miracle of humping his dog which turned out was his familiar. She didn't see where Emma was taken, she went to get you. First, Claire chased him away and then she got tired and hungry. She tasted the butcher's wares at the shop before going to find Cas at his kiosk." Gabriel said. "That's where she found out about the diner. By the way? Sparky kinda wants her." Gabriel whispered as they looked at Sparky offering Miracle a fool's Queen bee, Miracle licking his cheek.
"I'll go call Rowena." Cas said.
"No need, I got your fledgling right here." Rowena said. "Newbie named Dale. Now he's new to being a Demon."
"Dad, thank God." Emma said.
"It's okay, honey. Come on, I'll treat you to a slice of pie." Dean said as he ordered a slice of Gabriel's best pie on his pastry menu and Gabriel offered a steak and kidney pie for Miracle's dessert. All was calm once again in Miracle's life.

Back at home and very full, Emma was finishing all her work and calling John and Mary while Dean made her some soup and gave her a root beer.
"Here's to your first hunt." Dean said. "I'm glad Rowena considers us an ally."
"I'm glad too." Emma said. "Sorry I couldn't contact you sooner, he paralyzed me somehow."
"Hey, it's not your fault. Stuff like that used to happen all the time when your uncle and I used to hunt. Hell, one time I was going after this monster, a rawhead that had kidnapped a pair of little kids. I killed the mother but I got electrocuted at the same time. Your uncle thought a spiritual healer would help save me. He was part right, but another guy who died at the same time I was healed, he was the same age and body type as me. Turns out the healer's wife was controlling a reaper to claim these people." Dean sighed. "She eventually bit it after Sam destroyed her alter and talisman she used to control the reaper."
"Damn." Emma said.
"Exactly. Being a hunter is dangerous, unforgiving and barely rewarding. But you save people while ganking monsters. The family business." Dean explained.
"It's not exactly unrewarding, you got Cas and Miracle out of it." Emma said and Dean smiled thinking about that. Just then, a honking noise came up from the front of the house.
"What the?" Dean asked.
"Expecting anyone?" Emma asked.
"No, otherwise, I'd have made more than just soup." Dean said as he went over to the front door and saw Garth in the driveway.
"Hidy-ho, Dean." Garth said as he waved to him in the Bel-Air.
"You drove all the way here?" Dean asked. "You shouldn't even be here 'til next week."
"I was so excited for her to see it, I just wanted to drive all the way here in her. Ain't she pretty?" Garth asked. Dean just shook his head and laughed to himself. Same old Garth, even if he was a werewolf now. Just then though, Emma came out.
"Dad? Who is i-OH MY GOD!" Emma squeed.
"You must be the lucky girl. I'm Garth." Garth said as he got out of the car and shook Emma's hand, giving her the keys to the Bel-Air.
"Hi, I'm Emma. Thank you so much for the car. How'd you know I was in the market for a Bel-Air?" Emma asked.
"I'm friends with your dad, he heard you were thinking of getting one and so I pulled some strings." Garth said. "She's a real beaut, ain't she?"
"She's gorgeous, but her paint needs a little work. No worries, I'll drive her quick to the restoration shop. If that's fine with you, Dad?" Emma asked.
"Wait 'til tomorrow." Dean said.
"Good idea, I don't wanna break her so soon after getting her." Emma said. "I'm gonna call you Aretha. You are soulful in appearance. Oh, but I MUST hear if you can sing. Tomorrow though. In the meantime, I'm gonna sleep in you. If you'll have me tonight?" Emma talked to the car and Dean chuckled.
"Like father, like daughter. Care for a beer, Garth? Tomorrow, I'll drive you back." Dean offered.
"I could never say no to you, Dean." Garth said as they went inside. All the while, Miracle slept on her bed on the corner of Dean's side of the bed, dreaming of her exciting day of the butcher, Claire chasing her and Gabriel's dog Sparky falling for her. She was just glad to be home regardless of the good parts of the day. She was most especially glad Emma was safe.
The End
