DECEMBER
ASTRA GROANED as she picked up one of the last boxes from the back of the Uhaul, lifting it into her arms. Miracle walked beside her as she turned.
When she turned, Astra stopped when two large hands grabbed the box. She looked up at Sam as he took the box with no struggle.
She watched him smile.
"Do you always have to be a show off?" She asked him as he walked towards the porch stairs.
"I never try to show off. I'm just naturally strong." He said, climbing the stairs. She followed behind, opening the door to their new home.
"And naturally a show off." She teased.
They entered the home and watched as Jody came down the stairs.
"I put that box in your room. You got anything else in the van?" She asked as Sam placed the box on the kitchen island.
"No, that was it." Sam said. "Thanks, Jody. Really."
She smiled. "You're welcome. I'll see you guys at Christmas, Alex finally gets the holiday off. We'll all be here."
He nodded. "Sounds like a plan."
She hugged the two as they walked her to the door. "I'll see you soon."
As Jody left, Astra turned around to Sam.
"I guess we start unpacking." He said.
Sam played music that blared through the house while they unpacked. During that time— while Astra danced and decorated at the same time, she reflected on her mental health over the last few months. Since Themis died, she had been worried for some time that Zeus was after her, but he never showed.
Her panic attacks had died down, and was down to having one or two within a month. She still often thought about her mother.
Astra stood in the living-room and placed all of their books on the new bookshelf beside the fireplace. She set them up nicely by size and made it neat like before.
Alone by Heart played through the house, and Astra hummed as she moved to the framed pictures next. She set them carefully on the mantle, staring at the photo of Dean and his mother. The other one was of Sam and Dean, and she smiled.
