Weechester. A few weeks after Mary's death.
John rouses from sleep, realizing the sound that woke him is his eldest son curled up next to him, sobbing. Without a word, he pulls Dean into his arms.
"I wanna go home, Daddy."
"Son, you know we can't."
Dean hiccups against his shoulder. "I don't like it here."
"It's only temporary, Dean. We won't live like this forever."
John hates himself for the lie. He has no idea what the future holds for them. Lately it's been one motel after another.
"I miss Mommy."
John's arms tighten around his son. "Me too, kiddo."
At least that wasn't a lie.
