Hey guys! Wow that two weeks was a long one.. sorry I've been gone for like months or however long. But anyway I decided that since the Home Verse is the most popular series I write then I might as well re-read it.. wow. I'm really sorry you guys had to endure such terrible writing. So I decided to edit it, the whole series. Resolve plot holes and fix any mistakes or character flaws. I'm not going to take anything away but I might add more that I wished I had added when I first wrote it.
Please enjoy and review and tell me what you think about the changes.
"Three!?" Mary Winchester exclaimed in disbelief.
They had fostered four kids in the last six months they'd been foster parents, and each child had been placed separately. She had no idea how she and John would handle three all at the same time?
"That's.. not all?" Mike admitted hesitantly. Mary sighed deeply, leaning against the kitchen counter. "Their not the type of kids you foster? Their not really, little, kids?"
"Just spit it out Mike," Mary mused, rolling her eyes.
"Two are teenagers and the youngest isn't too far off. They weren't removed recently either.. they've been in the system their whole lives," Mike told her reluctantly.
Mary closed her eyes, deep in thought. She was at war with herself.
Older children, especially ones who've been in the system for years already had serious problems. The little ones they took care of were enough of a challenge but add in the hormones and years of being shipped off and moved home to home.
"Mike I don-".
"Mary we're trying not to split these kids up. And if you don't take them they will be, their previous foster parents just got arrested for drugs and there's no one else available to take in all three," Mike pushed. She could her the desperate tone in his voice, and for a moment she thought about what would happen to them if she denied. The older two would no doubt be placed in group homes, and the little one would be put in another foster home all by them self.
Mary grit her teeth, a bit angry, there was no way she could turn those kids away.
"Can you tell me anything about them," She asked defeated.
She listened to Mike's sigh of relief crackle over the receiver, "Two of them are biological siblings and they've adopted the third as a brother as well."
That happened a lot. Children would grow close and claim each other as family, then get heart broken when they got split up again.
"Castiel is the oldest at fifteen, same age as Dean only a few months older, and Samuel is eleven," He explained, the sound of papers shuffling could be heard and Mary imagined him sorting through his documents.
When Mike said nothing else Mary decided her an John would drill him later for more information.
"Alright Mike I'll see ya tomorrow," Mary said, feeling very much like she'd just been tricked.
When he hung up Mary put the phone down and pulled her hair up into a pony tail. She had work to do If the boys were gonna be there so soon. The only thing she was worried about was telling John, he'd been skeptical about fostering at first but they soon found out he was a natural, but teenagers were different. She only hoped she hadn't made a mistake.
Its not perfect but you can't deny it isn't better than the first one.
