Disclaimer: With apologies and all due credit to Hallmark; first chapter title taken from their company slogan. 1983Sarah gave me the inspiration for the title of this drabble fic. I don't own Supernatural, either. This is for entertainment purposes only.

Summary: Multi-chapter drabble. Thanks to the Mark of Cain Dean finds a new way to celebrate Mother's Day, Sam's birthday, and Father's Day. The Father's Day chapter is for you, Gaelic Angel. I hope you enjoy it.

Word Count for each section: 100

Drabble word for the first chapter: Mom


Chapter 1: Mother's Day (When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best)

Sam freezes when he sees the morning news: "Mother's Day Massacre: 52 dead in horror house."

Severed body parts planted in floors, walls, ceilings. Lifeless black eyes.

The new Father of Murder chuckles softly as he watches the proceedings. Sam imagines the Mark of Cain on Dean's right arm, sated now. Peaceful.

"I know where you hid the Blade," Dean drawls, whiskey smooth. "I didn't need it this time."

"Dean? Why?"

Dean frowns, puzzled. "For Mom, Sam. I did it for her."

"You – you what?"

"Father's Day is coming up." Dean's eyes sparkle. "Dude, that's gonna be a classic."


Next: A gift for Sam, the birthday boy
