He was dangerous. There was a surety and ease in the way he carried himself, like he'd been tested and come away smarter, harder, deadlier. But to counter all that he was good looking. Tall, board shouldered, a face that boarder on beautiful and when he smiled his green eyes turned brilliant.
But he was no John Winchester, and that made all the difference.
Given the fact that Mary was fairly certain she'd never meet him before, there was still something familiar about him. Not that she could pin point what it was. And then there were the looks he'd give her. Nothing lustful or anything like that, but awe and innocent wonder. It was confusing, and odd since innocent didn't seem like it should apply to someone like him.
She had to admit, though, no one had ever looked at her like that, not even John.

Years later, when she's eight months pregnant and her past is behind her, Mary holds Dean's small hand to her stomach to let him feel the baby's kick.
"Things are going to change when we bring home the baby." She tells him because she wants him to be ready; she'd been having these small talks with him since finding out about being pregnant. "But that doesn't mean I'll stop loving you. You'll always be my baby and I'll always love you."
The baby kicks hard and she knows Dean felt it. He looks up at her with big green eyes filled with awe and wonder and a memory of dangerous man who had given her the same look flashes through her mind.
"I'll always love you too." And those brilliant green eyes shine as he smiles up at her.
