Jj hopped into the car, hugging the tiger plushie that I had bought her on the way out. She was a little sad that she didn't get to go to the zoo with us, but she was happy that she got to spend time with Shep.

She sat in the back seat, while Jensen and I were up front. Jensen had just turned on the radio as her little voice rang through.

"Soooo, when are we going to go the beach in California?" She asked.

"As soon as we get you packed up you little bugger." I said reaching back and tickling her stomach.

She burst out in fits of laughter and started squirming to try and get away.

"Stop it...no.." She would squeal through her laughter. Her laughter was contagious, and soon had me smiling and laughing as well.

Before we knew it we were back to Jensen's house, and she was already out of the car, running into the mansion to get herself packed.

"God, she loves you." Jensen breathed as soon as we got out of the car as started walking to the front door.

"She'll love you too, you'll see." I said.

He grabbed my hand and held it as we walked to the door a little more slowly than usual.

"Are you sure?" Jensen asked. "She doesn't even know me."

"There was a time I didn't know you, and yet I have still come to love you. She will too J, it just takes time." I said.

He smiled, a genuine smile, one full of hope.

"You'll be there too, won't you?" He asked.

"I've been here this long, no point in stopping now." I smiled. "I'm always going to be here. You're stuck with me."
