011. bittersweet reunions

It's been four months since Dean died and Sam left. Sam never did call or make any form of contact with Larissa or Bobby. Larissa tries to pretend like it doesn't bother her, but Bobby, Ellen, and Jo can all see right through her.

Larissa spent about a month with Ellen and Jo before spending one month on her own, but she still kept in contact with her remaining family. She returned to Bobby's in August and has been with him since, sometimes going off on hunts by herself or meeting up with Jo.

"Larissa, you can take a break." Bobby tells her.

"We need more cookies." Larissa says.

Bobby looks over at the table that is covered in plates that are full of cookies.

"We really don't, darlin'." Bobby says. The phone rings and Bobby sighs as Larissa goes back to rolling out the dough. Bobby answers the phone, "Yeah?"

"Bobby?"

"Yeah?"

"It's me."

"Who's "me"?"

"Dean."

Bobby hangs the phone up.

"Who was it?" Larissa asks.

Before Bobby can answer, the phone rings again, and Bobby picks up.

"Who is this?" He asks.

"Bobby, listen to me."

"This ain't funny. Call again, I'll kill ya." Bobby hangs up the phone.

"Bobby, who was it?" Larissa asks.

"Some twisted sicko." Bobby states, walking out of the kitchen, and grabbing a cookie on the way out.

Larissa is in the living room and watching TV since Bobby finally managed to get her out of the kitchen. There's a knock on the door and Bobby answers it, freezing.

"Surprise." Larissa hears a familiar voice say.

"I-I don't..." Bobby says.

"Yeah, me neither." Larissa's eyes widen when she spots Dean walk in. "But here I am."

As Dean walks back to him, Bobby takes out a knife and slashes at Dean who dodges the attack. Dean grabs Bobby's arm and twists it around, but Bobby gets out of his grip and hits Dean.

"Bobby! It's me!" Dean shouts.

"My ass!" Bobby yells back.

Dean quickly wheels a chair between them as a barrier, holding his hand out.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait! Your name is Robert Steven Singer. You became a hunter after you wife got possessed, and... you're about the closest thing I have to a father. Bobby. It's me."

Bobby lowers the knife and slowly walks closer to Dean. He gently puts a hand on Dean's shoulder. He suddenly slashes at Dean again, the younger man quickly being able to disarm him.

"I am not a shapeshifter!" Dean shouts.

"Then you're a revenant!" Bobby screams. Dean shoves Bobby away. Larissa gets up, standing next to Bobby, as Dean has the knife.

"Alright. If I was either, could I do this with a silver knife?" Dean asks. He rolls his sleeve up and grimaces as he slices his arm.

"Dean?" Bobby asks.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you." Dean says.

Bobby brings Dean in for a tight hug as Larissa stares in disbelief. Dean tightly hugs Bobby back, and they pull away after a few moments.
