-Chapter 25-
-One Year Later-
"Sam, get the camera! Hurry!" Tasha yelled down the hall in excitement. Sam rushed down the hall with the camera and focused it on the girls sitting on the purple carpet. Their curly blonde hair was pulled back with light brown bows.
"Did they walk at all?" Sam asked with a bright smile.
"Just give them a second." Tasha said. She looked at the twins who just stared at them.
"C'mon, girls, show daddy what you were just trying to do." Tasha pleaded with them. Sam sighed and turned off the camera.
"I guess they're not in the mood yet." Sam joked. Tasha exhaled a sigh.
"I swear they were going to walk. They were so close!" Tasha said still a little pumped from the excitement.
"M...M...Mummy." Emma whispered. Tasha and Sam quickly turned back around and sat down in front of the girls.
"Turn the camera back on! Turn it on!" Tasha yelled. Sam fumbled over the lens cap and soon enough had the camera focused back on the twins.
"Say it again, Emms." Sam said. "Mommy." He repeated.
"Mommy." Tasha said. Emma looked up at the two of them and to her sister. Jane giggled and looked at her daddy with the very interesting looking thing in his hands. She got up on her feet and walked towards him.
"Holy crap, Sam, are you getting this?" Tasha asked on the verge of tears.
"Yea, I'm getting it." He said as Jane began to poke the lens.
"Mummy!" Emma squealed. Tasha began to laugh and Emma repeated it again. Sam laughed at both of his girls.
"And so the sibling rivalry begins." Sam joked. Tasha laughed and kissed him.
"Daddy..." Jane whispered into the camera. Sam and Tasha burst out laughing.
"Too much! Too much!" Tasha yelled in the mist of all the excitement. The girls flopped to the floor and giggled at their parents' sudden excitement.
"I'll send the video to your mom." Sam said as he turned off the camera and grinned.
Tasha picked Emma up from the carpet and swirled her around in her arms. Sam scooped up Jane and laughed. Tasha and Sam dressed the girls in their winter coats, being there was a little bit snow outside on the ground. The twins held each other's hands and waddled down the hallway with Tasha and Sam on each side.
"So what do you think we should do today?" Sam asked Tasha as he strapped the girls into their car seats.
"I think Bobby and Dean would be pleased to hear the girls talk." Tasha answered. Sam got into the driver's seat and gazed at Tasha. She'd been surprisingly happy the past few days. She didn't seem fazed at all…especially since it had been a year, but Sam didn't want to ruin her happy streak so he kept his mouth shut. Tasha looked at him with her crystal blue eyes and smiled brightly at him.
-At Bobby's House-
"Bobby? You home?" Sam called through the house. He carried Jane and Emma over the threshold and into the kitchen.
"We're in here!" Bobby responded answered back from the living room. Tasha took the coats off the girls and helped them onto the floor. Jane and Emma just looked up at their mom and she looked down at them.
"Walk for your uncles! You can do it!" Tasha said in her "mommy" voice.
"They were walking?" Dean asked excitedly. "When did this happen and why didn't anyone call me?"
"It all happened this morning. They talked and walked." Tasha said softly. She was slowly taking all this in. Deep in the back of her mind she knew it. All of this…would soon be over for her.
"You okay?" Sam asked snapping her away from her thoughts.
"Yea! I'm just waiting for these two to strut their stuff." Tasha said with a phony smile. She scratched her nose and went to sit with Bobby in the living room.
"You saw that right?" Sam asked Dean. He nodded.
"She's lying." Sam said quietly. He was slowly but surely breaking down on the inside.
"C'mon, Sammy. We have a plan. Everything will be fine. I promise." Dean responded in his big brother tone. Sam rolled his eyes.
"Don't promise me something you can't keep, Dean." Sam said coldly. He picked up a crawling Emma at his feet and went to join Bobby and Tasha in the living room.
-Later-
"They are all tuckered out." Tasha said slowly picking up two sleepy twins. She cautiously put them in their coats and slipped their socks back on their small feet.
"I'll help you put them in the car." Dean said and he grabbed Tasha's bag. She smiled and the two of them walked to the car.
"Sam, I think you should take a look at this." Bobby said to him in the kitchen after Dean and Tasha were out the door. Bobby slid a manila folder across the table in Sam's direction. Sam flashed Bobby a confused gaze as he opened the folder.
Inside the folder were papers with Tasha's last will and testament. In an instant, Sam's eyes began to tear up. He shoved the papers back in the folder and slapped it back on the table. He shook his head in disbelief.
"These papers were issued a month ago…" Sam whispered. He couldn't believe what he'd just read.
"Sam…" Bobby trailed off.
"She doesn't think she's going to live does she?" Sam asked out loud.
"She's just taking pre cautions. She wants to do whatever she can to make sure the three of you are taken care of." Bobby answered. He wasn't sure what else to say. He could see that Sam was slowly breaking down inside. He knew he hated waiting. Anything could happen any day at any moment. And that killed him.
"This is not happening." Sam grunted. Bobby reached out for him but Sam shifted away. "This is crap, Bobby." Sam screamed. "She can't be serious about this. She would have told me." Bobby just stared at Sam not sure what to say. Sam slid the papers back across the table and stormed pass Dean out the door. Dean looked at Bobby and held up the papers. Dean sighed heavily and hoped everything would go according to plan.
