John wakes up around twelve to the sound of rain. Quick kiss for Mary, gets up, shuts the window. Goes to check on the boys.

Dean's room first. Most parents would collapse at the sight of the empty bed. John simply chuckles, shakes his head.

He leans in the nursery's doorway, grinning at the nest of blankets under the crib. His eldest son is nestled in the middle, fast asleep, but fiercely protective of his baby brother.

John tenderly picks Dean up, holds him as he gazes down at Sam.

He prays that his sons will always be so close.
