Sarah Chambers noticed how Dean couldn't look at her as she admitted this wasn't the first time Dan had hit his daughter. Nor did she think it would be the last time and that broke her heart more than Dean would ever realise. What he also didn't know was that she had managed to stop several hits before his fist could make contact with her girl's face. Yet there was also a side to Dan that was kind and loving, the complete opposite to what Dean had ever witnessed.

Dan had indeed mentioned how close the two of them were when he found them in the park and IN Sarah's mind it was about time. She welcomed it and had the opinion of as long as Dean didn't take advantage of Mika and kept her happy then she didn't see the harm in Mika finally potentially having a boyfriend. Anything to get her head out of her books.

She was also half expecting the question Dean asked from the moment she told him something in confidence. She sighed and carefully perched on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter's black eye and then at Dean. "it's complicated Dean. It's not that simple unfortunately. I wish it was or I would have gone with her a long time ago. You have to realise something, when he's in a good mood he is the best father to her. It's when he gets scared for her or stressed or on rare occasions drunk, it turns sour."she explained, making sure not to wake Mika in the process, but she felt it important Dean knew the whole story.

"he's just so incredibly overprotective of Mika that he doesn't realise half the time he's her only real threat in this town" she said, like Mika, not knowing about the supernatural, whereas Dan had an inkling, even if he thought most of it was crazy ramblings of Bobby Singer.

"Dan [i]can[/i] be a good man. It just so happens you've only seen his worst side, especially tonight. You know, she's always said she never wanted you to see her like this. She has done everything she could think of to hide the bruises from you. She was scared of you seeing her as some kind of pity party or fragile little thing. She really cares about what you think of her." she said some more. "and yes, Dan told me he saw you and her sharing a kiss and hug in the park" she smiled.
