My Guardian Trickster

Part 6-Gaayy-bbb

A few months later the same thing happened again. Gabriel again had to take care of Sam. In this time Sam said his first word and started crawling. His first word made Gabriel cry.

It was 'Gaayy-bbb'.

Whilst a very off version of his name it was still his name.  When Sam turned three he learned to walk with help from 'Gabe'. Sam could now say Gabe properly he just couldn't say Gabriel. When Sam started saying Gabe, Dean had been confused whilst John didn't even notice his son's first word. Sam was left alone all the time now. He looked after Sam, and he ended up becoming even more protective.

When Sam turned four, Dean and John were hunting a Shrtiga. They pissed it off. It came after Sam. He didn't let it get within two feet of the boy though. He smote it without a second thought and left John and Dean oblivious to what happened to it and what had nearly happened to Sam.

When Sam was four and a half he mentioned his 'imaginary' friend Gabe.  Dean called him crazy and John ignored him.

When Sam turned five John started to get him to learn things like Latin and how to fire a gun.  He was there by Sam's side through all of it. He sometimes used magic to help Sam when John wouldn't stop. He remembered the first time it happened.

"Sam! If you don't hit that target we are not going in. We will stay out here until you hit it! HIT THE TARGET!"

It was 9 o'clock at night and they had been out there since 11 o'clock in the morning. Sam hadn't eaten.  Yet John couldn't care less and wasn't backing down. Sam was trembling and his hands were shaking. He wouldn't be able to hit a target, not tonight. So next time Sam took a shot he used his magic and guided the bullet to the bulls eye. Yet John still kept him out there, insisting to keep going. Sam argued but that didn't help him. All that earned was a slap to the back of his head making Gabriel's grace see red. He kept using his magic to help Sam until John finally let him go inside. John went out to a bar after.  Dean was asleep. Sam still hadn't eaten. So he made Sam mac and cheese and snapped up a soda for him.  John kept pushing Sam and this kept happening so whenever they were hunting, Gabriel would take Sam out and patiently and calmly help him hit a bulls eye. Gabriel stood behind Sam massaging his shoulder blades.  Sam stood with the gun aiming towards the target, shaking lightly.

"Sam relax. You don't have to hit the bulls eye. Just take deep breathes in and out in and out. Aim for target not the bulls eye and don't think to much about it."

They kept going like that on and off for a day having breaks whenever Sam wanted one.  He would supply mountains of toys and chocolate for the boy.

Finally by the end of the day Sam could hit the target perfectly.
