[b]MIKA CHAMBERS[/b] When she said her reaction, she wasn't naiive in thinking that they may not have hurt him. But considering all the things she could have said, she thought they were the least hurtful. She also figured when she was ready to, she owed Esme an apology and a word of thanks, but only when she was ready to and not be stubborn in refusing to look at the woman. It would take her time to come to terms with everything he finally admitted to her, and that as something they both had to accept. As he whispered to her and kissed her lips, she kissed him back, doing as he requested of her and let him speak once more. She didn't particularly like what she was hearing but that was solely because she knew it was the truth. They were both in an incredibly tough moment in their lives singly and together which unfortunately took its toll on their relationship. Mika continued to let him speak, closing her eyes as she took in the feel of him brushing her hair from her face, speaking more about when he walked away but tried tor eassure her that he wasn't going anywhere this time, even if it ended on the reiteration that he did have that with Esme. She looked him in the eyes and tried her hardest to look accepting of the information, which she did but she also knew it would take a while to be completely accepting of it. "I love you too Dean. I know you are but I've always known that. I'd like to think I know you love me, even if you don't say it often. It shows in your actions...for the most part" she told him honestly, meaning those actions that didn't include making out with another woman. "as much as this hurts, I can't stop loving you, ever" she added, not looking away from his eyes to show him she meant every word. "we're forever always...right?" she spoke once more, leaning in and kissing his lips briefly before hugging him tightly. "I keep telling myself we've come back from worse. I will need time to fully accept this all, but that doesn't mean I want us to break up or anything...far far from it. I need you more than ever" she explained. [b]NATALIA WINCHESTER[/b] Nat had a feeling Annabeth wouldn't like what she heard too well but she saw no point in trying to sugarcoat it to the woman. She didn't believe in sugarcoating anything to anyone, despite her history, and Annabeth deserved to know what was going on just as much as the rest of them. At the mention of where Annabeth should sleep for the night, causing Cason's reply Natalia also pulled a discreet face that perfectly conveyed 'yeesh' even though Cason was only telling Annabeth how it was, just like she was. Didn't mean it wasn't any less painful to say that he was willing to kill her if it came to it. "I hate to admit it, but Cason is right. I can crash on this couch if Bobby will take me, I know Mika will stay here as its her home as well as Bobby's, not got a clue about what Dean will do, guess that depends on what Mika will want in a way... I'd almost suggest trying to make the pop up bed thing in the vault more comfortable, and you stay in there Annabeth, just to keep you safe from the Angels and Alistair. I'm sure Sam will stay with you if you wanted." she suggested. At Cason saying he'd stay with Esme, she did think that maybe Esme wouldn't want that but she was going to say nothing on the matter, letting Esme make her own decisions. [b]SAM WINCHESTER[/b] After a while of hushed chatter between the two of them, Sam decided to stand up off the step, having overheard a lot of what was being said downstairs, but not all of it. He did however hear enough to get a just of what they were discussing. He walked to the doorway of Mika's room and lightly rapped on the door, "everyone good in here? The guys downstairs are talking about sleeping arrangements" he explained softly, concern for them both evident in his face.
