"They'll come back, Emma," Caleb's shirt was soaked with Emma's tears and he had a box of kleenex handy because she kept needing them.
"I know. I feel so stupid for getting upset."
"John and Bobby are important to you. It's okay to miss them. John helped you through your pregnancy. You get attached to people when they help you like that."
"You must be so tired of me," she looked up at him with puffy red eyes and a red nose.
"I could never be tired of you, Emma. Not when you're sixty."
"I hope to stop crying before I'm sixty," Emma laughed softly. "So go ahead and tell me. When do you plan on leaving?"
"I don't know. I want to make sure Sam and Dean don't need me to help with Rayna first. As soon as I know, you'll be the first person that I'll tell. Okay?"
"Okay," Emma drew in a deep breath. "Can you just hold me for awhile longer?"
"You've got it," Caleb replied.
Wrung out from her emotions, lying safe in Caleb's arms, Emma drifted off to a peaceful sleep. What she didn't know was that Caleb also drifted off to sleep. Drew was going to want an explanation.

Caleb awoke and realized where he was. He looked at the clock. Drew had to be home by now. He could hear the television on and decided it was best to just face Drew, angry big brother of Emma, now instead of waiting until morning when Emma was sure to witness the whole thing.
"What are you watching?" Caleb asked when he walked into the living room.
"I came home from work and looked for Emma. She's all I've got for family now, ya know. And, I couldn't find her. She was locked in her bedroom with you. Do you mind telling me what you could possibly have in common with my sister and what the hell makes you think you have the right to be in her bed?" Drew spurted out all that was on his mind.
"It's not what you think, Drew. She was upset because John and Bobby came and said goodbye to her today. They headed back to the scrap yard and she took it hard. I was comforting her and she asked me to stay for just awhile longer. She fell asleep and I must have, too."
"What do you have in common?"
"Difficult choices."
"Huh?"
"She gave Rayna to Sam and Dean. I gave my son to his mom and her family when I was younger. I wasn't much of a dad and it gave him an opportunity to know someone else as his dad."
Drew didn't know what to say besides, "I 've seen Emma get hurt before. I'm not about to let it happen again."
"I don't plan on hurting Emma," Caleb tried to explain. "I'll need to go back to Lincoln to find someone to run my supply business but then I'll be back."
"Emma knows this?"
"Yeah. I told her as soon as I knew of when I'd be going, she'd be the first one I told. I love your sister, Drew. I'd die before I hurt her."
"I suppose your answer is okay for now," Drew shook Caleb's hand. "Have Emma make you a key so you can always lock the deadbolt on your way out."
Caleb watched Drew go into his bedroom. Then, he breathed a huge sigh of relief. He went back into Emma's room and held her. Glad that they'd cleared the first hurdle of their relationship.
