I'm really sorry this took so long. I've had writers block for the longest time, and I still kind of do. I'm sorry this is so short, it's the best I could do right now. Any advice or ideas would really help.
Everyone circled around Chuck, eagerly awaiting to hear what the surprise was. Chuck was smiling and looking around at his family.
"Grandpa, you going to tell us the surprise or what?" Bay asked, when Chuck was silent.
Everyone was starting to become impatient. Chuck continued to smile. He was about to speak before another angel appeared. The angel leaned close to him and whispered in his ear before disappearing. Chuck's smile had vanished.
"Something wrong, Chuck?" Dean asked, setting the Santa hat and beard on the table. He scratched his face, and cursed the beard under his breath for giving him an unbearable itch. He turned his attention back to Chuck.
"Um, well, I suppose it isn't exactly a great surprise anymore." Chuck said, slowly laughing nervously to himself. "But it's a surprise none the less."
"Come on, Grandpa." Mary spoke up, unable to hide her impatience. "Please, tell us."
Chuck had Dean, Cas, Gabriel, and Lucifer follow him outside to speak alone. They stood in a small circle right outside the bunker door.
"I was finally able to put Sam back together." Chuck said, watching hope and excitement cover the angels and hunter's faces. He stopped them before they had the chance to celebrate. "I was working on getting Sam's memories, but while I came here to tell you Sam managed to escape. No one knows where he is."
"You lost my brother?!" Dean shouted, glaring at Chuck. "You're God, Chuck. How do you not know where Sammy is?"
"I was just informed he was missing." Chuck said, trying to defend himself from the Winchester's rage. "It'll take me some time, but I should be able to find him."
"How much time is it going to take?" Gabriel spoke up. He was still shocked to learn that Sam was alive again.
"It, uh, varies." Chuck rambled nervously. He didn't know how long it would take to track Sam down. It's been centuries since the last time he had to find one of his creations. "I won't lie to you. The last time I lost someone it took me a few years to find them."
"A few years?!" Dean shouted once again. His brother is finally back and now it might take a few years to get him home. "Damn it, Chuck! I'm not waiting a few years to get Sammy's ass back home."
"Dean, calm down." Castiel said as he grabbed Dean's hand. "We'll help look for him. Sam will be home in no time."
"Let's start looking for him." Lucifer said, turning everyone's attention to him. "I'll talk with Crowley first and make sure he hasn't done anything with Sam."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Gabriel asked Bay to keep an eye on Robert, Mary, and Joanna while they were gone.
Bay agreed to watch her cousins while their parents were out. Mary's cheerful attitude was soon gone. All three of her cousins seemed to be in a bad mood now.
"You guys okay?" Bay asked, kneeling next to the table her cousins sat at. "What's got you guys so down?"
"It happened again." Mary said, keeping her head down to hide the tears streaming down her face. Bay could tell she was crying; she could hear the hurt in her voice and her word get caught in her throat. "Every year it happens. They always leave on our birthday. It's not fair."
Bay then noticed that Joanna and Robert were crying as well. She knew how they were feeling. The same thing always happened on Bay's birthday, but she had gotten so used to it over the years.
"Well, I'm here and you're stuck with me forever." Bay smiled softly as her cousins looked to her. She wasn't going to let another one of their birthdays be ruined. "How about we get out of this stuffy bunker and go do something fun?"
"How are we going to go anywhere?" Robert asked, wiping away the tears from his eyes. "Uncle Dean took the impala."
"Who said we needed the impala?" Bay asked with a grin on her face. Her cousins were confused, but they followed her to the bunker's garage, which they had no idea existed. They smiled once they seen all the different cars in the garage. "So, we going to have some fun or what?"
Her cousins cheered excitedly, which made her smile. She wanted to make this a great birthday for her cousins. Even if it involved breaking her dad's rule about touching the cars.
