Chapter One: The Winchester Boys

"But Dad, Please I can help" the boy whined, he'd been trying to get his Dad to let him help with a hunt ever since he had met him four months earlier but Sam had been adamant that his kid was not going to be an active part of that lifestyle, he had agreed for the boy to do some training mostly for self defence. He didn't want his childhood for Ethan but he wasn't going to leave him unprepared and unable to protect himself.

He hadn't known about his son until just recently when he'd been in one of the towns they'd stayed in when he was newly thirteen. He and Dean had stopped to eat at a diner their server had recognised them straight away. Erica Hyale had been Sam's first love interest and the one he'd lost his virginity to she's been fifteen at the time and him thirteen but sparks had flown and the product of that was now standing in front of him.

Erica had been trying for over a year to track Sam down, the young single mother hadn't been well for years and after being told by doctors that she didn't have much more than two years left she had begun to try and find the father of her only child but had had no luck. She had told him that fate had brought him to that town at that point. After finishing the job they'd been there to do Sam spent a little time getting to know Ethan who by just looking at the boy you could tell was his.

The boy's mother had taken a turn for the worst while they were there and had been admitted to hospital, when Sam had gone to see her she had begged him to take their son and give him a home Sam had tried to convince her that he wasn't the best choice and had tried to reason that he'd be better off with her parents but Erica had refused and after talking for a while Sam had agreed to sign the custody papers making him the sole caregiver for his ten year old son.

The boys Grandparents Eric and Sandra had encouraged Sam to take the boy in making him promise to bring Ethan to visit every once and a while. Sam had agreed also promising weekly phone calls and emails with photos and updates on how Ethan was.

Just days before they were planning on leaving and moving onto the next job Erica had passed away in her sleep, it had been a hard blow for Ethan who had been very close with his Mom. They had stayed on for the funeral having one of their hunting buddies take the job for them.

That had been four months ago and Sammy was still having trouble adjusting to parenthood "Ethan I said no and I mean it" Sam said firmly "hunting is too dangerous for you, maybe when you're older but not yet".

Ethan stomped his foot in frustration he really, really wanted to be a hunter just like his Dad and Uncle but his Dad seemed so set against it "that's so unfair, you get to" the boy snapped glaring at his father "you know what Ethan, you can drop the attitude right now or you can go to your room" his Dad warned.

"you suck" the boy spat out, Sam felt bad, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with his son, he wanted to keep him safe and he wasn't going to put up with being disrespected like that, his Dad and Bobby hadn't put up with it, Dean didn't put up with it from his kid and Sammy wasn't going to from his "that's it, room now!" he ordered pointing towards the room Ethan shared with his cousin, Dean's son, Alick.

"Fine" Ethan muttered as he stomped out of the small living area and into his room, slamming the door as he went. Sam sighed and went back to his research for their current case just your run of the mill haunting, he was trying to find where the bones were buried so they could salt and burn them tonight and head out to Bobby's tomorrow to introduce him to the boys.

...

Dean had known he was a father for just over a month now; it had come as a bit of a shock although not as much of a shock as it had been finding out his little brother got someone knocked up at the ripe age of just thirteen, the age his son Alick was now.

Dean had taken one look at Alick and couldn't deny he was his; the boy looked like him, talked like him and had many of the same interest. Right now they were at a family friendly bar/restaurant playing pool and waiting for Sammy and Ethan to join them for dinner.

Sammy was finding adjusting to fatherhood harder than Dean, who had been in many ways a second parent to his little brother growing up meaning he had experience dealing with defiant and annoying smart mouth youths, Sammy may have been a smart kid but he sure had been a real pain in the ass at times. But he had grown up to be the best friend and brother Dean could've ever asked for.

"Hey Kid, looks like your Uncle and Cousin finally made it so this game will have to be a rematch" Dean said ushering his son towards the table "sure Dad, I don't mind beating you another time" Alick said the cocky smile he's inherited from Dean on his face.

"Sure Kid but just so you know I'll be the one winning" their banter was light hearted and fun, both of them enjoying it very much.

...

John Winchester was on his way to his most trusted friend, Bobby Singer's house. He'd had one hell of a week; he'd been in Minnesota visiting his youngest son, Adam who he'd only met last year. His plan had been to keep Adam out of his work and spend more 'normal' father/son time with him and for the past year that had worked.

But not now, the spawn ghouls that he'd been hunting back when Adam had been conceived had decided to get revenge on John for killing their 'father' luckily for John the teen had been away on a school trip but his mother Kate had not been so lucky.

Now John had the job of being a fulltime Dad to yet another son that had had his mother snatched away by some monster only this time round said son was a teen who for the most part of his life been with his Mom and hadn't even known who his father was now his Mom was gone and he had been thrown into the world of the supernatural with his Dad.

...

Bobby Singer had done his shopping and had started to get spare beds set up for the Winchesters who were on their way to stay for a while, all of them seemed to have something big to tell him but wouldn't do so over the phone.

He knew that whatever it was the boys wanted to tell him it probably wasn't what John was going to they hadn't seen each other in a few months and Bobby doubted they'd been talking much. His curiosity was peeking. Tomorrow he'd find out either way, whatever it was.
