LAWRENCE, KANSAS. 1982.

Rose, Dean and Sam all look at the screen upset knowing that this is the night that they became hunters, then night their mother died.

Castiel senses that Rose is upset and holds her hand, bringing it up to his face and kisses it. Dean, Sam, James and Harry glare at him when he does it but he ignores them as he continues to hold her hand.

Crickets chirp. A large deciduous tree with no leaves stands outside one of several suburban homes. A Woman, Mary Winchester, wearing a white nightgown, carries a small child, her son Sam, and her other son who is following behind, Dean, into a dark room.

The young Winchesters eyes tear up seeing their mum on the screen. Rose snuggles into Castiel more and holds onto Deans hand. Dean squeezes it, trying to give her some form of comfort.

Mary: Come on, let's say good night to your sister.

Mary turns on the lights: it's the nursery of a year old child, Rose, who is lying in her crib and looking over at Mary, Dean and Sam.

Lily tears up seeing Rose as a year old as she didn't get to see Rose grow up into being the women that she is today.

Mary sets Sam down. Dean leans over the side of the crib and kisses Rose on the forehead.

Dean: 'Night, Rose.

Mary leans over Rose as well.

Mary: Good night, love.

Mary brushes Rose's very thin hair back and kisses her forehead.

Rose smiled up at the screen, knowing that her mum loved her. Dean sees this and has a small smile on his face that hardly anyone can see.

Man: Hey, Dean, Sam.

The boys turn. The Man in the doorway wearing a USMC T-shirt is John. The boys rush over to him.

Dean + Sam: Daddy!

John: Hey, boys!

John scoops Sam up and hugs Dean close to him.

John: So what do you think? You think Rose's ready to toss around a football yet?

Dean and Sam shake their heads, laughing.

Dean: No, Daddy.

John laughs.

John: No.

Mary passes John, Sam and Dean on the way out of the room.

Mary: You got him?

John: I got him.

John hugs Dean closer to him and holds Sam tighter as he rests his head on Johns shoulder.

John: Sweet dreams, Rose.

John carries Sam out of the room, flipping off the lights. Rose watches them go, gurgling, then tries to reach her toes.

"You look so cute as a baby." Castiel whispers to Rose, making her blush and slump down in her seat.

The baseball-themed mobile above Roses's crib begins to spin on its own while she watches. The transportation-themed clock on the wall ticks, ticks, stops. The moon-shaped nightlight flickers.

The Winchesters frown knowing what is about to happen on screen.

Lights flicker on a baby monitor sitting on a nightstand next to a photo of Mary and John. Strange noises come through the monitor. Mary, asleep in bed, stirs. She turns on the light on the nightstand.
