Wind whistled outside the car and leaves pelted against the windows startling Sam awake. "Dean?"

"Go back to sleep, Sammy," Dean said as he pulled the blanket up a little higher around Sammy's shoulders.

Sam blinked slowly and shivered as his breath puffed out in front of him. "Where's Daddy?"

"He'll be back in awhile." Checking the pistol sitting next to him, Dean snuggled into his coat hoping he wasn't lying.

"You sure?"

Dean exhaled a puff of frost and then pulled Sam a little closer. "Yeah, I'm sure. Now, go to sleep. I'll wake you when Dad gets back."

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Fever bright eyes stared blankly up at Sam. "Dean?"

"Sammy?" Dean croaked before shivering indicating his fever was climbing again.

"Hey, go back to sleep. You need to rest, man." Sam tucked the blanket a little higher and then smoothed a hand through Dean's sweaty hair.

Dean blinked slowly before looking around the room once. "Where's Dad?"

Sam had to work hard to get past the lump in his throat before speaking. "He'll be back in a while."

Dean finally ceased his search and leaned back again. "I really miss him."

Sam tried to smile but failed miserably. "Me too."
