Chapter Fifty: Dead men don't wear plaid:
It had only been three days since my mother came back and she wasn't the only one. A lot of people had dead loved ones coming back, they were freaked at first but after a day they didn't care. Oh I almost forgot one detail; the boys have no clue what's going on here. For one dad isn't saying anything because he has the love of his life back, secondly I've never seen my dad as happy as he is now and I don't want to ruin that, so I've put off telling the boys, and lastly I've asked Castiel not to tell them, he said we should at least inform them but I pretty much begged Cas not to tell them. He said he wouldn't.
Mom made me tell her everything about that's happened to dad and I, the good and bad. We were in the kitchen making pies, again. Hugging and making pies is something my mother had been doing non-stop since she came back. Jonah was sitting with dad poking and prodding his face "do you want to know something?" she asked a smile on her face, "yes" I said cautiously. "My family didn't want me to marry your father" she said sly smile on her face. "What?!" I asked I didn't know that, I knew mom's family didn't like dad after she died but I didn't know they never liked him.
"Your father had many rumors about him and my parents wanted me to marry someone with a respectable reputation" she said. "What do you mean?" I asked, "well, he'd always come in out of town, sometimes he'd be gone months at a time only to return beaten and bloody that was when he was a younger but in his mid-twenties he opened up his salvage yard" mom said "that's when your dad and I started dating" she stated. "How'd that happened" I asked, "my dad was having car trouble and wanted to keep working on his car, so he asked me to go get parts" she told me. "But I had no idea what he needed and when I went to the auto shop I was wondering around like an idiot" she said.
"I kept wondering around and I eventually bumped into your father, he was getting new parts for his truck" she said. "What happened after that?" I asked, dad didn't like talking about mom too much and I saw how much it upset him when he did, so I stopped asking when I was little. "He thought I was lost and looking for the clothing store" she said smiling bigger, I smiled softly "then I told him I needed help and that I needed something for my dad's car. He was very helpful and even drove me back to my house" mom replied. I looked over at dad again and saw he was at the desk and Jonah was hitting the books he had a toothless grin on his face. "After that we kept bumping into each other and it wasn't long before your father asked me out" she said then added "and you know the rest".
We were quiet for a while but I broke the silence. "Mom" I said, "yes" she replied, "I remember the night you died" I said softly.
"I know. I remember too" she stated, "can I ask you something?" I said softly "of course sweetie" she said. "What did that demon want?" I asked, I looked at dad and saw Jonah was now pulling his facial hair. "She wanted to bring you to Azazel" she said then added as an afterthought "he wanted you to read a tablet". "You mean the word of god?" I asked my voice rising a bit, "I believe so" she said "but I didn't catch too many of her memories" mom admitted. "Is lunch done yet?" dad asked impatiently, just as I was about to ask mom what the tablet was about "yes honey" mom replied. I sighed in defeat as she set food on the table and dad rolled in with Jonah.
One Day Later:
Dean, mom, and I were in the kitchen. While dad was off god knows where, Sam was checking out the other zombies, I only knew that because I overheard Dean talking to Sam on the phone, and Castiel was at the park with Jonah. Mom had her back to Dean and I she was baking another pie; I was eating a cherry pie while Dean was enjoying an apple pie. "Where's Jonah?" Dean asked with food in his mouth, "With Cass" stated while putting whipped cream on my pie.
Dean nodded his head and ate another bite of his pie. "I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you like pies. Did you bake all these?" he asked in-between bites, "I don't know what it is. Since I got back, I can't stop baking" mom said her back still to us, "yeah, when do you have time to sleep?" Dean asked and I knew what he was doing "Dean!" I whispered yelled at him, he looked at me and gave me a look that said 'shut up'. "I don't. Must be the excitement" she replied "or being dead" Dean replied sarcastically "Dean!" I said more sternly he looked at me.
"I know you don't trust me" mom stated, "Why would you say that?" Dean asked "come on, Dean" she said turning around. "That's why you're here, isn't it? Keeping an eye on me?" she asked, Dean looked down and didn't make any eye contact "I know who you are. You hunt things. I – I'm a thing. I get it" she said. "Mom you're not a thing" I said trying to cheer her up, she gave a small smile. "So then you know that Sam and I would never let anything happen to Bobby. That he's like a father to us" Dean said. "I understand" mom said "and we wouldn't let anything happen to Emma or Jonah either" Dean said stubbornly.
"You're not the only one watching out for him" mom stated a matter of factly "is that so?" Dean asked almost like he was testing my mom. "I remember everything, you know" mom said and clarified "from when I died". "That demon taking over my body... and the things it made me do. And Bobby having no choice but to... Well, you know what he did. But I can see it in his eyes when he looks at me. The guilt. It weighs on him" she said. Dean was giving her an emotionless expression.
"So why don't you just tell him you remember?" Dean asked mom gave him a carefree smile. "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you've never been in love. He's my husband. My job is to bring him peace... not pain" mom replied. "And just so you know Emma has been watching out for Robert a bit longer than you have" mom said turning around.
Dean finished the rest of his pie and left to back to Sam. Castiel returned with Jonah an hour later. He was making gurgling noises while he poked at Castiel's face. I came over to them and gave them both a kiss on their cheek. "Ow!" I exclaimed Jonah was pulling my hair, "he defiantly has your strength" I said. Castiel had a sly smile on his face, as he pried my hair out of Jonah's tiny fist. Jonah's dark blue looked up at Castiel's hair and he attempted to pull his hair.
"Is this a normal infant activity?" Cass asked as we walked down the stairs, Jonah was pulling Castiel's hair. "It depends on the baby" I said, mom was in the library fixing books while dad was eating a sandwich. "What?" he asked "why are you making mom clean?" I asked, "She offered and I'm stuck in this chair" dad said in his gruff voice. I turned toward the kitchen and mumbled "you've never cleaned when your legs worked". "Excuse me?" dad asked, 'damn dad's hearing' I thought to myself. "Love you" I said.
Two Hours later:
A while later, Mom and I were back in the kitchen this time we both were cleaning up but she wasn't looking too good. "Mom?" I questioned but she collapsed and started taking deep breaths. I ran to her and Dad came in. "I'm… I'm okay." Mom stammered another breath. "I'm okay. I just... I'm okay" she said looking at dad trying to assure him she was alright. Dad put his hand to her head and said, "You're burning up". I helped mom sit up and she said "Oh, I'm okay. You worry too much, honey" mom said.
Despite her comment mom let us take her to bed, "I'm so hungry, Bobby," Mom said weakly. "I'll fix you something to eat in a minute," Dad said. I was standing next to him "I can feel it. It's happening" Mom said "Shh, it's gonna be alright" dad said more for himself than for mom, "No. It's not. I'm turning, Bobby. You know I am" mom replied her voice seemed to have found its strength. Mom looked at the gun on the table, then to dad who looked at it as well but he sharply looked back at mom. "It's okay. Do it" she said pleading with him "No way," Dad said. "Please" she tried "no," Dad and I said at the same time.
"Please" she said one last time; dad didn't say anything just stared at the gun. "Emma sweetie I don't want you to be here" she said. I couldn't say anything, "Emma go to your room" mom order "no!" I said "Emma Sophia Singer, don't argue with me" she said sternly. I looked at dad and he whispered "go". Reluctantly I gave mom a tight hug telling her I loved her and hugging her tightly. "I love you too sweet heart" she said, we pulled away and I saw that she had tears in her eyes.
She pulled me into a hug one last time. After that she told me to go to my room. I slowly made my way upstairs and shut my door. Once I was in the safety of my bedroom I collapsed on my bed and screamed into a pillow. That's when I heard the gun shot and I knew what dad had done.
Jonah wasn't here he was with Cass again and I was thankful for that because it wasn't long before the other zombies came. I was in my room shooting at any zombie; dad and Dean tried to make their way into the house. I continued to shoot anybody that I could. "Damn it!" I shout under my breath, I wasn't a good long distance shooter and I realized I almost shot Dean. He along with dad got into the house and I could hear them downstairs. I shot two more zombies before they stopped coming. I went downstairs to find the boys near a few zombies near them. They looked at me and I knew what next.
Dad and I were watching mom's body burn; Castiel was on my left and dad my right. We kept staring at the fire and watched as my mother's body burned away.
Note: I only own Emma. Since Supernatural didn't give Karen much of a back story other than she was at some point married to Bobby, I gave her character some more information and a story to how she meet Bobby. Review and tell me what you think.
Spoilers (sort of) for the next two chapter's or so: Emma and Lucifer will meet up again, Chuck has some news for Emma which could be bad or good, and Jonah gets his wings.
