1. Sammy's birthday.

Now that little Sammy is almost 18 we can make him a big party, he deserves it. All of this years he has been such a good boy, he has always made things right and we have to motivate him to keep going.

I don't know, Mary, I don't want him to see the common world. Our boys are not like the others, they're hunters, they should have exactly the same childhood as us, and you know, no-one of 'em has many friends, because we agreed on that years ago.

No, it's just and excuse because of the fight you two had yesterday night, I want 'em to be happy, John. They're people, they have rights.

You mean those rights… like the one you've had when you ruined our boy's life?

Okay, calm down dear, I'll arrange that, i've tried, you know it, but I have to wait 8 more years. I've tried to bring that asshole back to arrange it, but you know I couldn't, so now i'll have to wait.

They'll never forgive you. You've sold one of our boys to save the another. Dean's death was his destiny, I didn't want it to happen, but i'd never sell Sammy's soul to save Dean's life. Dean will never forgive you if he knows about this.

I'll arrange this, I promise.

Hi mom! Why are you crying? Dad, are you crying too? What the hell has happened?

Uhh...eerm… It's nothing, Dean. It's just because of a good friend, he's in the hospital. He had a little problem with some demons, but he's going to be OK.

Who's him?

No-one you know. Now, please go upstairs and call your brother, we have something for him. {Dean leaves the room} Were you really going to tell them about Bobby?! We've talked about this many times. I don't want them to know until their uncle is cured, the boys are fine now, for the first time in their lifes, so let's keep things like they are right now.

But Mary, they're not kids anymore. Dean's 21 and Sam is some kind of an adult too. They should start to face things like this. We're gonna die someday, and then, what will happen with them? Don't treat them like they're stupid, 'cause they're not.

I know they're not stupid. But they're my boys, I'll always protect them and keep them safe as many as possible.

Sammy, mum and dad are calling you downstairs.

Tell 'em I won't go, unless dad says sorry.

C' mon, dude, you should be enjoying your special day.

Yay! My special day, with a freak who doesn't want me to be normal. Dean, I don't want their life, I want to be normal, i've been always studying hard to have a chance to go to the University, and now that I have the opportunity he's trying to ruin my life.

Sam, things are not like you think. And you know, you'll always have my back, i'll try to make him think about it, but today is not the right day, we are obligated to be stupidly happy.

Fine, let's check what's my birthday gift, it may be a knife, or maybe another gun this year, who knows!

Sam, take a seat, we want to give you your gift. But first, Dean and I would go out, we want you both to talk about the argument of yesterday.

Wait… what? Mum, I don't want to talk with him, as Dean said a few minutes ago, today we have to be okay, we can talk about that in another moment, maybe tomorrow or whenever he wants.

Son, I want to talk with you now, it's important, please. And I'm not angry anymore, i've talked with your mum and with Dean too. I'm really sorry.

Okay, mum, let's go out, I think they'll arrange this.

I don't want to make your life worse, I just want you to be protected, you're not a normal guy, you've lived many supernatural things, they know you, they'll seek you. I only want to protect you, you've always let me protect you, why should it change? We're a family, we have to be united.

Things are not like that, i'm almost an adult, I have the right to make my life however I want, you can't do nothing.

But… Sam, if you're leaving this house please, come back, in about 7 years. Don't ask me why, just please come back, there's something unsolved, and the family needs you to be here. Your mother will explain then, but now, it's okay, you can leave, that's the only condition.

Tell me, what's it? I'm not gonna get scared, i'm not stupid, you can tell me everything and i'll understand it.

I can't do it now, and it's not about me, so I don't have the right to tell you about it.

Well, it's okay, let mum and Dean come back, I don't want anyone to be mad today, we'll talk about this another day. And then you'll tell me what it is.

No, I won't, but okay, let's enjoy of your birthday, boy. Dean, Mary, you can come in.

Okay, everyone, take a seat, I'm going to bring the pie.

YASSS!

Okay, so Sam, here's your birthday gift.

No, mum, why can't we eat first?

Because the pie won't move anywhere. Sam, take this.

Umm… it's tiny, what's it? {opens it} What? Mum, dad? What's this?

Boy, it's a credit card, there you have all the money you'll need at University, you're going to Stanford next month. But you have the condition we've talked about before, right?

Right, I can even believe it. Dean, did you know about this?

Kind of. Okay, now everyone is happy, let's eat.

They all had dinner, for the first time in months there were not arguments, not even a sassy face, it was all just perfect. After finishing dinner the whole family watched something on TV, and then each one went to bed, but Dean hadn't given the gift to his brother yet.
