"what you want to listen to?" Dean asked after we had been driving for a few minutes in silence.

"I thought driver picks the music and shotgun shuts his cake hole?"

"that only applies to Sam... and Nikka, she never shuts up." he reached over to open the glove box and I pulled the box of cassettes out.

I went through them until I found one marked "The Offspring." i looked for a song list but there wasn't one written on it.

"what songs?" I questioned.

he took it from me and studied it for a moment. "I don't remember. Jo made this for me. i know that much."

I put it in the cassette player and skipped around it until I came to one of my favorite songs of theirs.

the winds of fortune

don't blow the same

she had to get out

and make a change

she had a kid now

but much too young

that baby daddy's out having fun

"he's saying 'I'm on a roll.'" Dean sang at the top of his lungs.

"With all the girls I know!" I chimed in with a laugh.

"His baby momma, she ain't so slow!" we sang together as loud as we could. "He's saying, 'I'm on a roll.' with all the girls i know. I know you wanna hit that. i kno-"

and then we were hit. an ugly colored SUV came flying through a red light and slammed right into my door. i remember Dean grabbing my hand before eveerything went black.

***

Bright light. That's what i woke up to. Bright, painful white light. I squinted as I waited for my eyes to adjust.

I was in a bed. But it wasn't my bed. I began to get up when I felt a sharp tugging coming from my arm and I noticed and IV lodged on the inside of my arm. That's when everything came back. Cas yelling. The car ride. Singing The Offspring with Dean. The accident.

"Dad!" I screamed. Was he okay? What happeneed to him? i started sobbing as all horrible possibilities flooded my mind.

"He just left for coffee. Told the doctor he would be back in about an hour." A new voice in formed me. I turned my head to see a pretty blonde girl in a bed on the other side of my room.

"My dad? Pretty tall, blondish hair, green eyes?" I asked frantically.

She shook her head. "dark hair and blue eyes."

As glad as i was that Cas had been with me he was not who i was hoping was oay enough to be walking around. "That's just Castiel."

The girl looked at me, confused. "He called you his daughter."

I nodded. "He's my dad but I have two dads. My other dad, Dean, was in the car accident with me... I just need to know if he's okay..." I began to cry again.

"Oh, hunny, I'm sure he's fine." the girl tried to comfort me. "You were an accident, too?"

I nodded and wiped the tears from my eyes. "Cas was angry with Dean and me so we went on a drive to get into a better mood while Cas stayed home and calmed down. We were singing along to The Offspring and the BAM! car out of no where."

"What song?"

I thought for a moment then let out a humorless laugh. "Hit That. Oh, the irony. I'm Kennedy by the way."

"Mika." the girl smiled brightly. "So, Kennedy? like the president? Dude! were you named after the president? your mom must be so awesome."

I flinched. "I wouldn't know..."

"Why? don't you live with her? is it one of those relationships where you don't talk to her at all until you're like thirty an have a baby?"

"I don't know my mom. Two dads, remember?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed she was one of your dads' friends and they had a surrogate."

"Nope. I was adopted." I smiled.

"Well, nice to meet you, Adopted Kennedy who may or may not be named after the president with the greatest hair ever. from what I heard, you broke you leg and should be here for another week."

I laughed. "Well, I'm glad I have a friend here."
