Chapter 16

1990

"He's wrinkly." Sam said as he stood at the window of the nursery and looked in at his new brother. (Y/n) laughed some and hugged him close to her side. "What's his name?"

"Adam." (Y/n) said with a smile.

"I like it." Sam said with a smile. (Y/n) yawned and ran her fingers through Sam's hair. "Sleepy?"

"Yeah sweetie. I'll get you some ice cream and find you a movie to watch while I take a nap." Sam nodded and held (Y/n)'s hand as she led him away from the nursey. She got Sam some food, ice cream as a dessert, and found a movie for Sam to watch. She made it through about five minutes of the movie before she fell asleep.

Sometime, while she slept, Sam crawled into the bed with her and snuggled into her side, drifting off to sleep. He didn't ask that day if John or Dean had called. He just stayed with his mom.

"Are you sure this was a good plan?" Cas asked. He was using the body of a body builder from California as he talked to Mrs. McMichael.

"Of course Castiel." She answered. "They needed to be born."

"But messing with her life like that?" He asked. She turned to look at him.

"You're starting to sound like Lucifer." She responded, her voice filling with anger. "You know what we had to do to him because he questioned authority and rebelled. Do you want the same to happen to you?"

"No Michael." Cas said, looking down at the floor.

"Good." Michael placed a hand on Cas's shoulder. "You'll be back here soon. Follow my orders and there will be no harm."

Two Months Later

Bobby was looking through some newspapers while he set at Pastor Jim's house. John and Dean were in the living room. When Sam and (Y/n) hadn't shown up in Blue Earth, Pastor Jim had called John to ask if things had been changed. John had tried calling (Y/n), but his calls went unanswered. Convinced that the demon that killed Mary had taken (Y/n) and Sam away from him, John had become a machine. Dean was right there at his side the whole time.

"Jim." Bobby said suddenly, standing up. Jim walked over to the other hunter.

"What is it?" He asked. Bobby laid the paper down and showed Jim what he had read.

Local Church Welcomes New Baby

Below the title was an article, complete with a picture. A picture of a smiling (Y/n) and Sam holding a baby together. Jim and Bobby looked up at each other as they made their way towards the living room. But before they could even say anything to John, he raised a hand, telling them to be quiet. His phone was to his ear and his eyes were wide.

"Dad?" Dean asked when John lowered the phone. "What is it?" He put it on speaker.

"Hey John, it's me. Sammy and I were on our way to Blue Earth but we got lost and my car died. I'll keep you posted but I think we're going to be here for a while. Give Dean my love and we'll see you soon."

Next message.

"Hey, I should've mentioned its Madison, Wisconsin we're in. I figure you're probably next deep in ghost goo right now. Just give us a call when you can."

Next message.

"John, Sammy and I are both getting really worried. We've tried calling other hunters and no one is answering us. I know it's not my phone, because I called out for food several times. Please just tell us you're okay."

Next message.

"I don't know if you're getting our messages or not, but I just came back to the motel. I had to tell Sam I'm having a baby. I'm pregnant John. Please just call me back."

Next message.

"I took a job at a daycare. They're very nice. They helped me get an apartment. Sam will be starting school soon. He's excited. I wish you and Dean were here to see him. He keeps asking me every day if you've called. I hate to break his heart and tell him no."

Next message.

"Goodbye John."

"These...these were from months ago." John said. "I just got them this morning. Her and Sam have been in Wisconsin this whole time."

"That's what we were going to tell you." Bobby said, laying the paper down where John could read it. He saw the picture of Sam and (Y/n) holding a little baby named Adam. His son. He stood up quickly.

"Dad? What are you doing?" Dean asked.

"Going to Wisconsin." He said, grabbing his jacket. "I'm bringing our family back." Dean smiled and grabbed his jacket too, following John out to the car before Jim or Bobby could even say anything to them.

Present

"Sam..." Adam said, stepping out onto the porch where Sam was sitting. Dean was inside with Cas and Sam just needed air. Sam turned to look at the younger man. "Can we talk?"

"Uh, sure Adam." Sam said, scooting over to give him some room. He took a sip of his beer. "Can I have one?" He nodded towards the beer. Sam shrugged and handed him a bottle. He had been younger than Adam when he started drinking, and Dean even younger than that.

"So...we're full blooded brothers." Adam said. Sam sighed. "It's just...my whole life I thought my mom and John were my parents. And now I'm being told that it was all a lie."

"I'm older than you Adam, and I'm being told my whole life is a lie..." Sam looked up at the sky. "If it is true, and Dean and I are only half-brothers, I'm afraid that things are going to change between us. My whole life I've looked up to him, and now I don't know if he'll even look at me the same."

"I'm sorry I'm not Dean." Adam said. Sam looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm obviously not him. And you care about his opinion a lot and you two are always there for each other. And I don't think I can fill that void he would leave if he were to..." Adam explained. "But I doubt that he'll leave you behind. Through it all, you're still his brother, even if just through dad." Sam nodded.

"Do you think we should get in there and hear what Cas has to say?" Sam asked. Adam nodded.

"It wouldn't hurt." He stood up with Sam. "But after all of this is over, there's only one thing that I want."

"What's that?" Sam asked, following Adam inside.

"I want to find (Y/n)."
