John called a couple of days later. Bobby told him that Jo was sleeping.
John asked, "How's she doing?"
"How do you think she's doing?" Bobby threw back at him.
"Bobby, I can't fight with you every time I try to call. I'm doing the best I can here."
"You should be doing the best you can here, with Jo," Bobby wasn't letting up.
"I'm sorry, Bobby. I really am. I can only do as much as I can do. Is Jo still having nightmares?"
"They never stop."
"I don't know how to help her, Bobby. I don't know how to help her without hurting her some more. I can't stay around and I don't want her to get too used to me."
"Used to you? You guys have babies together and that won't go away. Have you thought about that?"
"I know, Bobby, but right now I need to keep my brain in the hunt or I could get myself killed, you know that. I just trust that you'll get her all she needs."
"You can count on me, John," Bobby sighed. "Have you told your boys yet?"
"Um.. no. I haven't gotten around to it."
"When do you think you will?"
Only silence from John's end.
"I'll call the boys," Bobby offered. "They need to know and Jo needs their support. I'm doing this for Jo."
"Okay. Tell Jo I called," John yawned. "I'll try back another time."
"Good luck hunting, John. Stay safe."
"I will."
Bobby decided not to put it off any longer. He dialed Sam's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Sam."
"Bobby! How are you?"
"Fine. Fine. I'm fine." Bobby was at a loss for words. "What are you guys doing?"
"Just research on a spirit that likes to hang herself in the houses around town. Why? What's up?"
"Any chance that you and Dean could come to see me?"
"What's wrong, Bobby?" Sam could tell by the sound of his voice that Bobby wasn't asking for the usual visit.
"I'd rather tell you when you get here."
"Sure," Sam was quick to agree. "Dean and I should be able to get on the road tonight. Okay if we come in late?"
"Just come," Bobby said.
As he hung up, Bobby heard movement upstairs. He went up and found Jo in the hall.
"Did John call?"
Bobby couldn't tell if she'd wanted to hear from him or not. "He called when you were asleep. Did you want me to wake you up for his call?"
"No, I'd rather not take his calls right now," Jo didn't look Bobby in the eye. "I'm mad at him right now."
"That's okay, Jo." Bobby admitted," I'm mad at him, too."
