"Grandma, I know what I want to get daddy but I'm not sure what to get Uncle Dean or Claire or you," Abby said as they continued to browse the store the child going from aisle to aisle trying to find something she thought the others would like.
"So what is it that you want to get your daddy," Mary asked as Abby drug her off the book section and pointed at a big thick book.
"It's just like my book at the house and I thought daddy and I could have the same kind of book and maybe it would help him and Uncle Dean with you know what," Abby said happily as she took the book from the shelf and put it in the shopping cart.
"I think he'll like that a lot," Mary said smiling at Abby and not saying anything knowing that there were several books very similar to that book already at the bunker, "So now what do we get your Uncle Dean. I know how about something for Baby," Mary said taking Abby's hand and leading her toward the Auto section of the store where the child began methodically going through the three of four aisles looking at everything.
"Grandma, what about that? I think Uncle Dean would like that and I heard daddy talking about getting Uncle Dean's music collection updated," Abby said picking up a box and showing Mary.
Mary laughed, "I bet he would like that very much and yes you heard daddy and I talking about that so I guess I could give your daddy a heads up to replace his music collection," Mary finally answered as she took the box and put it in the cart.
"So all I have left is buying for Claire and you," Abby said happily singing Christmas carols as they walked toward the clothes section, "Grandma can we get Claire some new shirts? Her shirts some of them are stained and ripped. Do you think she'd like that," Abby asked going toward a rack of shirts.
"I think that will be perfect for her," Mary answered as together they picked out three or four shirts that would fit Claire's style and color as well as be practical with her hunting.
After a few minutes more looking around Abby sprinted off coming back with something behind her back, "Grandma I found something but I don't want you seeing what it is before Christmas so can I go find daddy or Uncle Dean," Abby asked bouncing in place.
"Give me a minute sweetie and I'll have your daddy meet you here and let you go pay for it that way I won't see, deal," Mary answered texting Sam.
Sam showed up seconds later with a wide grin on his face standing far enough away he couldn't see what all was in the cart but noticing the box behind Abby's back, "Hey you come with me and we'll let grandma pay for the other gifts while you and I pay for grandma's," Sam called as Abby spun around keeping the box hidden enough so she could run to her daddy.
"See what I got daddy for grandma and I got Uncle Dean a new stereo for Baby and got Claire some new shirts," Abby said her excitement bubbling over.
"It sounds like stuff they're really like and that helped me decide what to get Uncle Dean myself," Sam replied as they made their way over to the jewelry section for one more treat for the little girl.
"Daddy what are we doing here," Abby asked as Sam waited patiently for the lady at the counter to finish.
"I thought since you got that for grandma we'd put your name on the back so she'll always remember it was from you," Sam said as the lady came over.
"Can I help you sir," the lady asked looking down and smiling at Abby.
"We were wondering if you could engrave on the back of this 'with love Abigail S. Winchester'," Sam asked as the lady looked at the little pendant.
"I sure can I take it that someone is getting it for a mommy or a grand-mommy," the lady asked smiling again at Abby.
"It's for my grandma," Abby answered as the lady nodded and went over to engrave the saying taking only a few moments before coming back with the necklace in a box.
"Here you go little miss and a pretty box that you're grandma can keep it in when she's not wearing it," the lady answered shaking her head at Sam, "No and consider this a free gift since I paid for it and the engraving. It's nice to see a father and daughter do something so sweet together. It makes me miss my granddaughter," the woman answered as Abby ran around and behind the counter long enough to hug the lady.
"Thank you very much," Abby said as she came back to stand by Sam.
"We both appreciate this and I know my mom will enjoy this," Sam answered as well shaking the lady's hand as they both walked off to find Mary standing in one line and Dean and Claire in another deciding instead to head on out to one of the two cars and wait.
Everyone arrived home and began going to separate rooms to put gifts in each door labeled with a person's name on it, "Hey no peeking," Sam admonished as he and Abby came out of the room labeled for Dean's presents.
"What, I wasn't peeking just standing by the door is all," Dean answered back grinning.
"Uncle Dean don't you dare peek at your presents or I'll tell Santa you were being bad," Abby said putting her hands on her hips and glaring up at Dean.
"Okay, okay, I'll be good but just one hint kiddo is all I ask," Dean whined bending down to smile at Abby.
"No, you'll find out on Christmas day what we got you and not before," Abby answered.
"Man I thought you were tough to get answers out of Sam," Dean stated standing and laughing.
"Well at least you'll have something to look forward to," Sam said as both boys and Abby went back toward the library to make sure that there wasn't anything else that needed to be put in a room or the kitchen.
"Daddy, Uncle Dean how much longer till Christmas," Abby asked as they all finally sat down to eat a light dinner.
"A little over a week and a half before Christmas Day sweetie," Sam replied watching Abby's eyes light up with joy at how close the holiday was.
"I can't wait for you to see what I got you," Abby replied taking a bit of her food smiling at everyone, "Daddy did we make sure to get something for Jack and Uncle Cas too," she suddenly asked her face shocked and afraid that they had been forgotten.
"No, sweetie we made sure that they each got presents too and we'll let you pick which one you want from you," Mary answered as the little girl let out a breath in relief that the angel and nephilim hadn't been forgotten.
"They are coming for Christmas right," she asked glancing over at first Sam then Dean.
"I made sure to tell them that you personally requested their presence on Christmas Day and since it's actually Jack's first Christmas as well I think he was almost as excited as you," Sam replied.
"Okay, so long as Jack doesn't miss Christmas and Uncle Cas can be here too," Abby answered finishing her dinner then getting up and taking her plate to the sink.
"So ready for a bath Abby," Claire said taking her plate to the sink as well.
"Yep, and are you going to read me that story that you promised me," Abby answered taking Claire's hand.
"I can definitely do that kiddo. Let's go get that bath and then we'll go read the story together. Night guys," Claire answered as Abby stopped long enough to give first Mary then Dean and finally Sam a hug and kiss before skipping off to follow Claire out the door and down the hall.
