Not As Bad As You Think
"....Daddy?"
John sat on his son's bed, stroking the dark hair from his forehead.
"Shhh Sammy, s'ok" John murmured as he tried to soothe his youngest back to sleep.
Sam had been up most of the night, burning with fever, whimpering with pain from an ear infection. Even Dean couldn't calm his brother down, and John had begun to wonder if he'd ever fall asleep.
Now, Dean reluctantly at school and Sam finally asleep, John allowed himself a moment to relax.
He felt a familiar pang as he watched his sleeping son. Mary had been so much better at this.
