Between Enemy Lines

Chapter Six

Dean woke up again early in the morning to see that Eliza was still sleeping peacefully on his chest. He had wrapped his arm around her while she slept and had lost all feeling in his arm, but he still didn't want to move and wake her up. He felt her moving slightly and she finally opened her eyes. She was slightly confused and didn't remember where she was. She realized that she had fallen asleep really close to Dean and that he had his arm around her. Her eyes widened. She noticed that he no longer had his shirt on, he had went to bed with his shirt on, panic set in as she thought maybe he had took advantage of her while she was sleeping. She started trying to get away from him. Dean was trying to calm her down. Eliza then realized that she still had her clothes on, but still felt uncomfortable.

"Eliza... relax. Nothing happened, I swear."

Her breathing slowed down as she was trying to relax. She looked over and saw that Noah was getting out of his play pen and had started crawling up into bed between them. Noah crawled up to Eliza. She then smiled as she took Noah and placed him in between them. It was almost as if Noah was checking up on her. Dean smiled and looked at Noah.

"Hey buddy. Decide to join us?"

Noah looked at Dean like he was confused. Dean felt weird trying to talk to Noah. He didn't exactly see himself as a fatherly kind of guy. He always felt weird when he met some of his fans that were kids. They would always say that they looked up to him, which he never understood. Dean's own father was never there for him and he felt like his mother could care less. Maybe they admired him because he worked hard to get where he was. Noah turned his attention back to Eliza.

"Momma... wake up."

Eliza smiled and kissed Noah.

"Momma is awake."

Noah was wiggling around a lot, this usually meant that he had to go to the bathroom.

"Do you need to go potty?"

For some reason Noah was scared of the toilet. He was a bit hard to train and sometimes he had accidents. Noah needed to, but he started getting scared and shook his head, and even started throwing a tantrum and started crying.

"No!... no potty."

"You need to go Noah. We don't want you having an accident. You need to go potty."

Eliza picked up Noah to take him to the bathroom, but he was heavy and struggling in her arms.

"No Momma... No potty!"

Dean had an idea and got up out of bed.

"Here Eliza... let me try something."

Eliza looked at Dean like he was crazy. She wasn't handing Noah over to anyone.

"Will you please trust me? Just let him down. Maybe it would be easier for him to go with a guy... you know, since he is a guy."

Eliza never thought about it, but maybe it would be easier if there was a man around to show him. This was the downside to Eliza not really trusting anyone. Noah didn't really have a father figure around. It was a slow process for her, but maybe one day she will learn to trust men more. She wasn't sure if a man would want to take care of a child that wasn't his. Noah needed a man in his life to teach him things that she couldn't. Dean seemed frustrated with the fact that Eliza still wasn't trusting him. He was trying to help and she was pushing him away. She had to relax and sighed letting Noah down. She still wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth a try.
