Author Note: I'm going to being playing fast in loose with the time frame of the events for Season 15 but hey that's half the fun of fan fiction writing.

Prologue

Dean and Sam looked up in shock when they heard the audio static electricity crackling overhead before they saw the portal tear across the room.

"What the Hell? Dean said as he looked at his brother as they both pulled their guns out and pointed toward the familiar dimension portal opening. "Like we don't have enough to deal with?" He huffed.

They saw the two figures run though quickly together just as the portal closed.

The brothers gapped at the two individuals. If seeing the Archangel Gabriel wasn't a big enough shock the very pregnant woman standing in front of them literally shook both men to their very core.

"Jo?" Dean and Sam said at the same time.

Chapter 1

Dean barely had time to register what had just happened before Castiel came rushing in. "Dean, Sam there has been a rip between our world and another dimension...Gabriel?"

"Welcome to the party Cas." Dean quipped.

Castiel looked at the other angel and asked. "Why are you here?"

Gabriel looked at his brother with barely hidden disgust. "Seems somebody or should I say somebodies pissed the old man off and he decided to take it out on our dimension...on our Dean and Sam..."

"Gabriel," Jo whispered as she reached for the archangel as she felt her legs give out on her.

"I got you Darling." Gabriel said as he lifted her in his arms and carried her to the table and sat her in a chair, brushing a kiss on her forehead that angered Dean in a way that he knew he had no right to feel.

Kneeling he rubbed her arms. "You need to eat and get some rest. Taking care of you and the baby are my number one concern."

She nodded her head as she reached out and took his hand in hers before looking at the other men and saw the way they frowned at them before turning back to Gabriel. "A glass of water would be good."

"Of course," Sam said as he hurried to the kitchen. He returned a few minutes later with the water and a plate with a muffin on it.

"I grabbed you something to eat too." He said shyly.

Jo accepted the plate. "Thank you Sam." She murmured as she glanced up at Dean before turning her attention back to the plate.

"I'll ask you again, why are you here?" Castiel said as he stared at his brother.

"I have a better question, how are you even alive. I saw you killed in the apocalypse world." Dean said as he eyed Jo.

"Oh Dean, like something like that could keep me down." Gabriel taunted before he continued. "I managed to find my way to another dimension where I met that Dean and Sam. Imagine my surprise when I also met yours or should I say that Dean's wife." He told the hunter.

Dean sucked in a surprise breath. This Jo and a version of himself are married. Then what the Hell is going on with this Jo and Gabriel.

Jo nibbled on a piece of the muffin as she kept sneaking glances up at Dean, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Explain Gabriel." Castiel snapped at his brother.

"Look, Sunshine the past week has been a bitch. Jo needs to eat and lay down. We can have a pow-wow later."

"Gabriel its fine," Jo reassured the angel as she wiped at the tears that she had begun to silently shed. "It's not going to be any easier later."

"Darling..." he murmured softly. "I swore..."

"I know but telling them now or a few hours from now isn't going to make a difference." She said before turning her attention back to the other three men. "It started last Friday."

"What started last Friday?" Dean asked as he and Sam shared a look that didn't go unnoticed by Jo.

"Our world started to fall apart." She said simply.

"Fall apart?" Castiel repeated.

Gabriel snorted in disgust. "Oh you know the old man's favorites. Famine, pestilence, earthquakes, floods and oh opening the gates of Hell to let the demons walk freely among man."

Jo took a shaky breath. "John was the first to fall."

Dean sunk down into the chair across from her. "Dad, our Dad was still alive in your dimension up to last week?" He asked in disbelief.

She gave him a sad smile. "He had come over to put together the baby's crib."

"Oh God." Sam said as he put her hand on Dean's shoulder.

"He didn't make a deal to save my life with Azazel?" Dean asked.

"Yellow Eyes? John killed him in 04 after he and Sam finally got their hands on the colt."

"2004 that was a year before he took off." Dean thought out loud.

"Took off?" Jo repeated. "John never took off."

"But that's in our dimension Dean." Sam reasoned before turning his attention back to Jo. "In your dimension when did you and Dean meet?"

"I met my Dean in 2001 when you two and John help my Mom with something." She said blushing slightly before admitting. "We started dating that fall."

"Dating." Sam repeated a little shock by the idea.

Dean blushed at what Jo was saying after he did a quick calculation in his head. "Sixteen! I was...I mean the other Dean was twenty-two and dating a kid."

Sam cleared his throat, also a little uncomfortable at the thought of a 22 year old Dean hooking up with a 16 year old Jo. "Dean let her tell her story because obviously things were pretty different for them."

"Okay but you need to tell us everything, no censoring. We need to understand where our lives differ." Dean conceded.

Jo sighed as she took a sip of water. "Alright. How far back do you want me to go? I can only repeat what Dean, John and Sammy told me about their lives before I knew them."

Sam smiled at Jo. "I would assume prior to us meeting with you it would be paralleled to our lives. Our Mom was killed when I was six months old and our Dad started hunting.

Jo nodded her head in agreement and took a sip of water. "I met John, Dean and Sam when my Mom sent them and Bobby out to bring me home after I ran off with a hunter named Gordon to track and kill a Rawhead. They found me being used as bait by Gordon." She explained, a little shock at the way Dean's hands balled into fists

She smiled slightly. "I thought John was going to kill Gordon after he had killed that Rawhead. He just glared at me, told Dean and Sam to drive me home and that he would meet up with us after he had a little talk with Gordon."

Sam and Dean snorted as both mumbled, "asshole."

"Guess you two have run into this world Gordon too." She declared before she began her story again. "So Dean and Sammy drove me back to my Mom. Sammy tried to be nice but Dean...he literally lectured me for six hours until we had stopped at some disgusting motel to get some sleep. I had enough and we got into a screaming match that drove poor Sam out of the room in search of food. One minute we were yelling and cursing each other and then next thing I know Dean just grabbed me and kissed me."

Dean cleared his throat still uncomfortable at the thought of a 22 version of him macking on a 16 year old Jo.

"It's not what you think." She said quickly when she saw the look on the older hunter's face. "My husband, my Dean apologized and said that wasn't going to happen again any time soon but faith seem to have other plans. When we met back up with John at The Roadhouse Bobby was there too and they both had already talked to my Mom and told her she better accept that I was going to start hunting sooner or later and that the best thing she could do to protect me was to let me be trained properly. They both convinced her to let Dean spend the summer with us training me." She explained.

"We both tried to so hard to not to fall for each other but it still happened. He finally asked me straight up if I wanted to be with him and I knew I did and he went and spoke to my Mom and asked permission to date me."

"No way Ellen Harvelle would have agreed to let her 16 years old daughter date me... I mean the other me." Dean said.

"At first, no. Eventually though she realized that he wasn't just a dog trying to get in my pants and saw the way he looked at me was the same way my Dad use to looked at her and she finally caved and agreed that we could see each other as long as Dean was willing to follow her rules and accept that if he hurt me she would make earrings out of his testicles."

Sam snorted in amusement. "Now that sounds like Ellen." Sam said as he slapped a clearly embarrassed Dean on the back.

"So what were the rules?" Sam asked having a bit too much fun at his brother's expense.

"Pretty much the same as John's." She said with a faint smile gracing her lips. "No sex or hunting until I was 18."

"Our Dad had dating rules for Dean?!" Sam chuckle.

"Shut it Sammy!" Dean hissed as his blush deepened.

"I believe we are getting off tracking." Cas said in annoyance.

"So close, yet so far. It's just track not tracking." Dean told the angel who proceeded to glare at the hunter who shrugged his shoulders.

"Dean started staying at The Roadhouse in between hunts so we could see each other and eventually John and Sam started to stay too."

"That can't be right. Sam would have been in Palo Alto then"

"Palo Alto, you mean when he went to Stanford. He decided to transfer to Bellevue University after he came home between his freshman and sophomore year to be closer to everyone. I think Bobby's stroke really freaked him out."

"Whoa, Bobby had a stroke then! That definitely didn't happen here." Dean said.

"Yes. That was the first time I saw my Dean cry was that day at the hospital when John signed the DNR form. He knew Bobby wouldn't want to be kept alive on machines." Jo said as she looked down at her hands before she continued. "It was pretty touch and go the first 24 hours. I remember my Mom walking away and none of us knew then that she had called Sam to tell him and to let know she bought him a plane ticket home."

"Sounds like your Mom was as amazing as our Ellen." Sam said somberly.

"Yes she was." She agreed.

"So Sam came home..." Dean said to encourage Jo to continue.

"Yeah, at first when Mom told Dean he had a small meltdown that his father and Sam would end up fighting but as usual John surprised us. When he saw Sam walking down the hospital corridor he stormed right up to him looking like he was gonna take a swing but when Sam stood before him in tears and choked out 'Dad' John just pulled him into a tight hug."

Sam looked at Jo in shock. "Dad hugged me? Dad didn't hug us."

"He not only hugged you but he also grabbed Dean and pulled him in and hugged him too. Hospitals have a tendency to make people act differently." She said.

"But Bobby survived the stroke?" Dean asked.

Jo nodded. "He did. My Dean moved in with him when he came home to help take care of him and to handle the scrapyard for him too."

Dean nodded his head because he knew he would have done the same thing. "What you said that Sam was with Dad when he got the colt. Was Sam hunting while he was at school?"

Jo took a deep breath as she reached down and rubbed her baby bump. "He was helping John because Dean didn't want to leave me."

"I find it hard to believe that any version of me would sit that out." Dean said as he looked at Jo skeptical.

"Dean and I were already married then, we got married a couple of days after my 18th birthday. Anyway we had found out we were pregnant a few weeks earlier but..." She explained as she tried not to cry. "We lost the baby." She whispered finally.

"And he stayed to be with you." Dean said in a gentle voice.

"I told him that John needed him but this was our second miscarriage within a year." She explained feeling the need to defend her husband.

"I wouldn't have left you either." He reassured her a little shock that a healthy 19 year old woman would have two miscarriages.

Sam looked over at his brother and saw the pain look on his face. Chuck told them that they were his favorite version but obviously he screwed with the other version of them too and he had a sickening feeling Bobby's stroke and the miscarriages were how he tormented that dimension's Dean.

"It sounds like the major difference between us and your dimension is you and your Dean meeting and falling in love at that point in your lives." Sam said as he cleared his throat.

Jo looked at Dean and saw the way he nodded his head as he stared at the ground. Finally she asked the question that she was dreading. "You and your Jo... how long were you both together?"

Dean closed his eyes as images of his Jo flew through his mind. He looked up at the woman across from him. "We didn't. Never the right place or right time." Saying the line both hunters had teased each other with. "She was killed by a Hell Hound ten years ago saving my ass." He added.

"Oh." Jo said sadly.

Gabriel knelt down by Jo and took her hand in his before looking at his brother and the hunters. "She's answered enough for now. So why don't you tell us what you three did that caused Dad to flip all the other dimensions upside down."

Castiel looked at Joanna and could feel the fatigue rolling off of her and decided that Gabriel was right and began the long story about what had happened with Lucifer, Dean agreeing to be Michael's vessel, his betrayal, locking Michael up inside Dean's head, his eventual escape, Jack defeating Michael and how it impacted him when he absorbed his grace. He told them about Mary and how they tried to control Jack after her death until the point he took off and how Chuck had come claiming to want to help but in reality he was playing Dean to torment him. Finally he told them that Sam had used the gun that Chuck had intended for Dean to use against Jack on Chuck after Chuck's tantrum and he had killed Jack and the released the souls from Hell.

Jo stared wide eyes at what the angel told them and said the first thing that came to her. "God calls himself Chuck...seriously he couldn't come up with something more interesting than Chuck."

Everyone turned and watched Dean as he started laughing before he choked back a sob. He got up quickly and stormed out of the room.

Sam gave Jo a sad smile. "You really sounded like our Jo just now. I don't think Dean's ever really gotten over her sacrificing herself protecting him."

"I know the feeling." She murmured. At the confused look on Sam's face she explained. "My John, Sammy and Dean all died protecting me and the baby while Gabriel worked on opening the portal."

Sam swallowed the lump in his throat as he wiped his eyes. They were a family and they were happy until five short days ago. "I'm so sorry." He said knowing how hollow those words were. "Can I ask about Bobby and your Mom?"

Jo nodded her head and said sadly. "We lost Bobby four years ago. He had a massive heart attack. The doctor said he was probably gone before he fell to the floor. My Mom passed two years ago after fighting cancer three times. When it came back a fourth time she sat us down and said she was ready to go and that she wasn't going through the treatments again. It was hard but we made the most of the time we had left."

They all sat in silence for several minutes until Dean came back in carrying a glass of milk and a plate laden with scrambled eggs, toast and cut up strawberries and bananas.

"Eat." He said as he put the food down in front of her. "I'm putting you in the room across from mine." He added before turning and walking back out of the room to take care of the next task. Jo frowned at the plate in front of her before she shoved it away and hissed, "jerk."

Sam looked at his brother's retreating back before he hopped up and followed him towards the sleeping quarters. "Dean!"

The older hunter stopped and turned around. "What!" He snapped.

Sammy put his hands up in mock surrender. "Don't you think we should talk about this?"

"Nothing to talk about. Her world isn't safe for her and her family is dead thanks to us. She's our responsibility now."

"Dean, she's not our Jo." He said tentatively.

"You don't think I know that." He shouted.

"Well it's not your decision Dean on if she stays here. She's a grown woman and she needs to be the one to decide if she wants to stay. You just can't steam roll over her like you just did."

"Feeding her and putting a roof over her head makes me a bad guy."

"No but maybe next time don't drop a plate of food in front of her and order her to eat like she's a stray dog you decided to take in." Sam said.

Dean flushed at his brother's comment before sighing. "Maybe you should be the one to talk to her going forward. I'm sure looking at my mug isn't a-lot of fun for her."

Sam glared at Dean. "Seriously! You coward!"

"Excuse me? What the Hell is that supposed to mean!"

"You're not thinking of how she feels! You can't handle seeing her because you never dealt with losing Jo or even acknowledge what she meant to you!"

"Screw you!" Dean screamed as he shoved his brother. "I see her face every night when I close my eyes. I carry her and Ellen deaths with me every fucking day!"

Sam stared at Dean wide eyed as he leaned against the wall and sagged to the floor burying his face in his arms before confessing in defeat. "We could have beaten the odds if I told her how I felt back in Duluth."

Sam dropped down next to his brother. He tentatively wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "Look I know you had feelings for Jo and honestly I think you two would have made a good couple but you can't change the past Dean, you have to come to terms with it. Maybe the first step could be to try and be a friend to the woman in the other room because that's what she needs right now."

"I know. I'll talk to her. She's safer with us in here than out there." Dean said as he slowly pushed himself up.

Sam watched his brother walk back towards the library. Maybe having this Jo and her baby in their lives would be good for Dean as well him.
