Summary: A moment of domesticity in the Bunker.


Mary Winchester is in the bunker's kitchen, making sandwiches.

It's both familiar and foreign, watching the swift sure movements of her hands as she slices tomatoes, builds layers of fillings, cuts the crusts off…

She pauses, knife hovering, suddenly uncertain and lost. Dean knows she's remembered her little boys aren't babies any more. He leans forward wearing his best disarming grin to tuck a stray lock of golden hair behind her ear.

He steals a sandwich while she's distracted, ignoring Sam's vocal disgust about chewing with his mouth open. He's just happy the sparkle's back in Mary's eyes.

"Thanks, Mom."
