CHICK-FLICK MOMENTS
AN: This is kind of like my series for NCIS, In Strolls the Bossman. This time it involves moments that I wish had happened on the show. And I may expand it to include those moments that are not exactly chick flick. I will address each as an episode. They will not in any particular order. They, also, may not have the name of the episode included.
Episode 1
In light of my great displeasure with Mary and this whole season, I will start here.
"You've never asked." Sam said. He, Dean and Mary were sitting around the table in the bunker. Mary had been back a month.
Dean knew what Sam was asking. He knew the question was not directed at him. He looked at Mary also.
"What? What was I supposed to ask?" Mary countered.
Sam seemed to struggle for a comeback, so Dean said it for him.
"Anything! Everything! Ask us how we are. Ask what our lives have been like. Ask us what we've been doing. How John did as a single father. Ask how our childhood was. Ask us about school, how we did in school, what grades we got. Ask us if we graduated. Ask us if we went to college, if we thought about it. Ask us about girlfriends." Dean stopped. He was not sure he was getting through.
"About us, Mom." Sam said, picking it up. "You've been here one month. You have yet to ask about how your grown sons are. You took off with Dad's journal, and…."
"You didn't ask me…." Mary started.
Dean stopped her. "Oh, yes I did. Not long after you came back. Your heaven was with dad, a 6-month-old Sam and a 4-year-old me."
Sam nodded. "That was one of the first things he asked."
"I just…" Mary shook her head. "I was not expecting grown…."
Dean shook his head. "No! We gave you time. We gave you space. I don't get you leaving us, your family, to find out about John." He was irritated and he wanted to make sure Mary knew that. "Who would know more about him than his children?" He said, stressing the last three words. "But you took his journal and took off and went hunting for things in a time you don't understand, and in an age with technology you don't know about." He paused to calm down a little. "You expect us to understand that?" He glared at her. "What answers did you get…out there…that you couldn't get from us?" Dean paused, but not long enough for a rebuttal. "You come back, and you're working with the very people who tortured Sam." He paused again. "They tortured your son! Do you not get that? They tortured your son, and you join up with them, like you approve of what they did."
Mary opened her mouth to speak but Sam spoke first. "What she did…how could you…? I'm your son. That means something to me. I'm just not sure if it means anything to you."
"I've been trying to protect you from…." Mary started.
"You…trying to protect us?" Dean asked, amazed. "YOU are trying to protect us? We've been hunting for decades and you come along and are going to protect us?" Dean glared at Mary. "From what? What is out there that we haven't encountered?"
Mary shook her head. "I'm doing this so you won't have to hunt anymore. There will be nothing more to hunt."
Sam and Dean looked at one another.
"The Brits have come up with a way to kill all the monsters…" Sam asked, obviously skeptical. "…after all these centuries?"
"Why not share it before now?" Dean asked, sharing his brother's skepticism. "If they are so good at this, so efficient, why do they need help…your help, anyway?"
"They are very…efficient with their hunting. They have made great progress overseas." Mary stated.
"That justifies what that witch did to me?" Sam said. He couldn't believe what his own mother was saying. It was making him physically ill to hear it. "You saw what she did. How could you…?" He couldn't continue.
"You won't have to hunt. You won't have to have this life anymore." Mary said. "That's what I want. That…I started it all. I needed to fix it."
"What?" Sam asked. "You started what?"
Mary looked at Dean. She knew Dean knew. So, she thought, surely, Dean had told Sam. But, Dean had NOT told Sam. How could he tell his brother that his own mom was the reason that the whole demon blood thing came about? How would he say it in any way that was not going to make Sam feel any worse about going through that? At the time, the main reason Dean had not told him was he didn't want Sam to hate Mary. Later, Dean never said anything because he didn't feel that there would ever be a situation where it would come up. So, Dean had just kept the secret to himself. He had actually known that particular fact for many years. Castiel had revealed it to him the first time he had taken Dean into the past to meet his parents.
Sam saw the looks on both Mary's and Dean's faces. He repeated, with force. "You started WHAT?"
Dean shook his head, cautioning Sam. "You don't want to know."
Sam looked at his brother. "Well, obviously, you know." He then looked at Mary. "What Lucifer said was true?"
Dean was shocked he looked at his brother. "What?"
"When Lucifer was living in my head, he told me a few things." Sam said. "I didn't believe him. I didn't want to believe him. I didn't want to believe my own mother was the one who caused all this to happen. I didn't want to believe she had never told Dad what she had done." Sam shook his head sadly. "I didn't want to believe that she'd made the deal that had made my life so miserable. And you didn't even get your 10 years. Lucifer said you had about a year and a half left."
Mary nodded. "You wouldn't be here if I hadn't made a deal. John was dead, Boys. He was dead and gone. We wouldn't have gotten married. We wouldn't have had children. There would be nothing." Mary stated. "I didn't tell John because, well…we got married, and we moved away. I kind of…I forgot about that night. I got busy being a wife, then a mom. And when…when that night came. I heard a noise in Sammy's room and I…I got up out of bed and went in." Mary sighed. "The demon was in there. I remembered that he had told me not to disturb him. But, it was too late." She looked at the horror on Sam's face and shook her head. "I had no idea what he meant, Sam. I didn't know. John was dead. I had watched him die, and I have to make a decision, right that moment. When the demon told me not to disturb him, I had no idea what he would be doing. He didn't say anything about what he would do. I just…."
Mary stopped talking. She saw anger, confusion and hurt on her son's faces.
"In my Heaven you guys never grew up. If you never grew up, Sam, that night in your nursery never happened." Mary shook her head, there were tears in her eyes. "And if that never happened, then nothing happened to you. None of the rest happened."
"But, it did happen. All the rest did happened, Mom." Sam replied. "That may have been your reality in Heaven. But, my reality was on Earth, and it sucked."
The End
END NOTES: I am not sure Dean knew about Mary's deal, beforehand. I can easily make a case either way. Here, I'm just say that he did know and he chose not to tell Sam for the reasons I've mentioned. I hope you enjoy the first of these Episodes.
Stay tuned! More 'Episodes' to come!
