Some Promises Can't be Kept and Some Promises Should Never be Made
Dean had made a promise to Sam.
He tried; he really tried to keep it. He thought it was going to be okay. Lisa and Ben and he were a family and they were happy. As happy as Dean could be without Sammy or hunting. The years had gone by quietly letting Dean believe he had made it out. He was free.
Dean and Lisa took the final step to a normal life when their daughter Mary Jo was born. But the little family's security was an illusion. Once the demon world learned that a child of Dean Winchester had been born they came after her with a vengeance. She never had a chance. By the time Bobby had arrived with several other hunters to help it was too late. They found Dean bloody and broken rocking the limp body of his sweet baby girl.
Dean alone carried the tiny coffin containing his daughter's ashes to the grave site. The service was small but there were many hunters at the cemetery that day all stationed around the grieving family. Giving protection and support knowing in their hearts what they offered was too little too late. After the service, Lisa and Ben left; they left Dean and all the horror behind them. Lisa would not loose another child to Dean's world.
Back at the house, Dean is alone. He walks down the hall past his daughter's room. He stops, reaching in to turn off the light. He sees something on the floor by her crib. He walks towards the center of the room and sees that lying on the floor is the bear he had given her. Left tossed on the floor and forgotten. He bends to pick up the bear, and leans against the crib. Hands shacking he smooths the fur and straightens the ribbon. Slowly he slides to the floor. Eyes squeezed shut he leans his head back. There is a muffled strangled sob as a tear rolls down his check.
A/N I've had a version of this in my free writing stack for years now. Since I've been having some trouble focusing on my other stories (I know, my bad) I thought that if I reworked this for Dean it might help. Anyway, yeah enjoy.
Please Read and Review. It helps to know what people think.
