AN:  Thank you so so so much to everyone who read this! I really hope that you enjoyed it!

“They did what?!” (Y/n) gasped as Dean paced in front of her. John held her hand. Bobby and Cas set in chairs and watched Dean pace. Tears were pooling in (Y/n)’s eyes. “Why the fuck would they do that?!”

“Because you’re their mom.” Dean grumbled. She shook her head.

“I didn’t even get to raise them. I’m not a mom worth saying yes to the fucking devil for!” John looked over at (Y/n), watching the tears falling down her cheeks.

“That’s not true.” John said. “Just because you were dealt a shitty hand doesn’t mean you deserved what happened.” He looked at Dean for support, but Dean was more focused on a way to save Sam. John sighed. “I know I’m not the poster child for good parenting, and you by all rights should not even let me anywhere near Rosie, because she deserves better. But there is one thing I know, and it’s that you are an amazing mother. Those pictures I saw from Sam and Adam in Madison, Sam was so happy. You’ve taken care of Rosie by yourself for the five years. You’re going better with all these kids than I ever could.”

“I don’t remember you from those years ago.” Bobby explained. “I’ve been told that’s his fault.” He motioned over at Cas, who hung his head. “But I know you from 2005, from when Sam and Dean brought you to my house and you helped me take care of them, research for them, and something must have known you were Sam’s mom, because you took care of him and Dean like it was your job.” (Y/n) offered a small smile to the older hunter.

“I’m going to go check on Rosie.” She mumbled to anyone who was listening. She headed towards Rosie’s room, watching her young daughter sleep.

“(Y/n).” A voice whispered. She turned to see Dean standing there, hands in his pocket. “I wish I could remember everything you did for Sam and me back then.”

“It’s okay Dean.” (Y/n) said with a shrug. “I’m not asking for a big thank you or anything. I just want all of you boys to be safe.” Dean shook his head. “What?”

“We’re Winchester’s. We’re never going to be safe.” He chuckled. “But I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that Rosie doesn’t have the same luck that we do.” (Y/n) looked back at Rosie and quietly shut her door.

“She is so young. She doesn’t deserve this.” (Y/n) said, looking into Dean’s eyes. “You boys didn’t deserve it. No one did.”

“If the angels hadn’t fucked with our lives, we might not even be having this discussion right now.” Dean explained. “Who knew that some monster that looks like it came from a low budget British sci-fi would’ve changed our lives for the better.” (Y/n) couldn’t help but laugh.

“I think there’s some pie in the fridge if you want some.” She told Dean as they made their way back towards the kitchen and living area. Cas had just hung up his phone.

“Chuck just called.” Cas explained. Dean rolled his eyes.

“Great. What’s he want?” Dean mumbled as (Y/n) went to the fridge to get the pie out for Dean.

“He gave us the location of the final battle.” Cas told him. (Y/n) froze and looked up towards Dean, who looked at Bobby and John. “It’s at a cemetery in Stull, Kansas.”

“That’s twenty minutes from here.” John explained. “Some of my buddies and I used to go out there and drink. Some pretty weird shit used to go down there. We just chalked it up to one too many beers and…other stuff.” John said, shaking his head.

“Stull is also believed to be one of the gates to hell.” (Y/n) explained. “Samuel Colt was trying to close all of them before he died. Create rail lines made of solid iron that demons couldn’t get through. Just like South Dakota. And he got to all of them. Except for Stull.”
