NOTE: Hey guys! I decided to re-write the story 'cause a lot of things happened that made me change my mind about it. Sorry! I will understand if nobody wants to give it a shot! For those of you who will, thank you and I hope you have fun reading this. Please, feel free to comment and share your ideas about the story! Thank you! (P.S.: The anime for this story is a photoshopped picture and I do not intend to use it make profit. & I do not own Supernatural or its charecters! Only the ones I create!)
January 21st. Sam and Dean were driving down to Lawrence to visit Mary for the first time at her brand new home -well, not that new, considering she'd bought the old house back. "I Remember You" by Skid Row was on the radio but Dean hadn't switched the channel nor had he turned it off. He felt like listening to it on that cold, winter night. The clock showed 21:30 by the time they reached the small church at the outskirts of Lawrence. It had started to drizzle and there was nobody on the streets, which made Sam sigh as the ghost-town of his past looked like and actual ghost-town at the time.
Dean noticed how crowded the church was but assumed it was probably the only Safe Heaven people could find for at least 5 miles into the rain. Two police cars passed them by and Sam instinctively looked at Dean who nodded.
"We promised mom: no hunting under her roof"
"It's probably nothing!"
"Let it go Sherlock!" he stepped on it as Sam fell back into his seat, leaning his head on the steaming car window on which little teardrops had been formed.
"This is it…" Dean monologised, Sam nodded. Before they got to ring the bell, Mary opened the door wearing a festive red sweater and the brightest smile they'd ever seen.
"Hey!" Dean grinned and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey mom!" Sam hugged her and she wouldn't let go. She gestured Dean to join in too and the three of them enjoyed that moment they all deserved.
"Let me show you boys to your bedrooms. The food will be ready in 15'! Follow me!" She walked up the stairs with two baffled boys following her.
"Since when do you cook?" Sam asked and chuckled.
"This is a special occasion! I'm no Julia Child but I'm working on it! If only you knew what I'm making for Dean's birthday!" She turned around and winked at Dean who looked a bit blushed for a moment.
"Mom, you don't have to…" Dean tried to say but Mary interrupted him:
"You boys deserve everything I can give to you!" she explained and opened the first door on the right.
"Wow." Sam said as he walked in.
"This screams 'dork'!" Dean joked to the sight of a huge bookcase filled with books and a giant TV screen on the wall.
"Come on!" she walked arm-in-arm with her firstborn to his own bedroom next to Sam's.
"Wow!" he repeated Sam's reaction and Sam laughed.
"I'm not even going to ask how you could afford all that 'cause that's how happy I am!" Dean humored and looked around at the rock bands posters on the walls and his own collection of movie classics and CDs next to his own giant flat screen.
"I hope you boys like it!"
"Like it? Mom this is…" Sam tried to find the words.
"The home we never had!" Dean assisted his brother by filling in his own words which found Sam completely agreed.
"I should go check that meal if we don't wanna order pizza tonight!" Mary said and turned around, wiping off some happy tears.
"Dude…" Sam said as he fumbled through Dean's CD and DVD collection.
"Finally, something good in our lives Sammy. This is going to work." Dean stated and Sam smiled at him in agreement.
After the boys settled, they went to the kitchen to enjoy a family meal. What they found was Mary in shock, while she yelled at someone on the phone.
"Mom, what happened?"
Mary tried to calm herself and then she replied: "12 people were found dead at Mike's church earlier. They won't tell me if Mike was one of them…"
"Mike Remington?!" Sam said
"Yes… You know him?" Mary asked
"Yeah, he looked after us when you…" Sam went quiet.
"Let's go!" Dean grabbed his jacket and stormed off. Sam and Mary followed.
