They want Dean.
John couldn't wrap his mind around it, couldn't quite grasp the whole connotation.
They want Dean.
He wasn't going to deny it and say that a part of him didn't want that, he liked the idea of him and Dean working together, studying together. He liked the idea of working with his son, being the mentor to him that his father had been to him.
He liked the idea of their legacy continuing like this, the continuation of Winchesters becoming Men of Letters.
But at the same time, he knew that it was exactly the farthest thing that Mary had wanted for the kids.
There's no way he could tell Mary this, she wasn't supposed to be stressing about anything at the moment, or risk losing the baby. And this? This would stress her out completely.
He needed to talk to someone about this. Dimly he thought about Mary's parents, but then remembered the look on Samuels face when he learned that he was the father.
If he spoke to Samuel and told him what the other Letters had said, he was sure that he wasn't going to have to worry anymore. In fact, he wouldn't have to worry about anything, Samuel would kill him and salt and burn his remains.
So he diverted the course to go to his parents home instead, hoping that he could talk to them about the predicament.
His mom was outside on the porch, when he pulled into the driveway she looked up and smiled, although it looked a bit stressed.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, coming out of the car and going to her to hug her.
Millie held onto him tightly. "Your dads not home yet." she told him, sitting back on the swing. "And I just worry whenever he has all these council and other business. I get it, it's all a big secret and no phone calls allowed." she shook her head. "Just with the whole thing, I'm a bit anxious to find out what's happening."
"Well I can tell you some parts of it." John sighed, sitting next to her. "Basically...they said they'll let me and Mary be together if they get Dean as a future initiate into the Letters."
Slowly John told her everything that had happened from the beginning, including the hostility and how basically, they wanted Dean and possibly any third child they were to have.
Millie had taken his hand in between two of hers, rubbing at his palm. "So Dean is going to grow up to become a Man of Letters." she said softly. "Not an easy road for him."
"Not in the slightest." John said just as softly, remembering his own childhood. Growing up with the other initiates, the constant scrutiny and learning, the stress that seemed to build with each and every day.
"Mary didn't want them to hunt." he said quietly, it was something that they had whispered about in the middle of the night when they couldn't sleep. "She didn't want them to be in the supernatural world at all, she said that she wanted them to have a normal life."
"Well then...that does put everyone in a predicament." Millie agreed. "What are you going to do?"
"I'd like to talk to her about this." John said truthfully. "It's just...I'm afraid to bring it up. I don't want to push her over the edge, she's...in a bag situation."
"And no stressing out." Millie recalled, nodding. "So...the next best thing would be her parents."
John thought to Samuel once more and blanched, making Millie laugh at his face.
"Yes I suppose that Samuel isn't the best one to talk about this with." she agreed. "But maybe Deanna, we had a very lovely, long talk together at the hospital while you boys were off doing whatever it was you were doing."
"I was being threatened by both Samuel and dad." John told her. "And using my son as a shield."
"Sounds about right." Millie nodded. "But in this case, if you want to talk to a Campbell, Deanna is your best option."
"She also knew about Mary and me, she was helping us with the whole sneaking around back then." John remembered with a smile. "Alright, I'll talk to her. Get a hunter and Campbells opinion."
I do not own Supernatural.
