Mary was getting tired of being in the bunker. She wanted to go out. Her baby boy is back he should be going out with her. She had so many places where she wanted to take him. She's researched kids activities. There is shows, theme parks and the cinema. She badly wanted to give Dean the childhood he deserves.
She felt partly responsible for the life Dean grew up in. John forced their boys into this life because of her death.
Her deal is the reason Azazel came that night.
After seeing the destruction of the other world Mary didn't regret making the deal. If she turned down the deal her own world would have been destroyed as well.
It showed how important her boys are
The huntress wanted a break from hunting and focus on her son. It was hard with everyone else in the bunker.
As much as she was grateful for Cas and Jack helping out it did start to get annoying.
Sam well Sam was another story. She knew her boys shared a bond that even she did not understand but she wanted to be selfish and have Dean bonding with her. There has been times Sam offered to cook, play or read to Dean but Mary insisted she is fine. Sam would respond with a smile but Mary saw through it. She knew she pissed him off.
Another thing that annoyed her is she can't take Dean out. She saw all these things to do for kids yet she couldn't take him to any of them. Everyone is worried about Michael.
Michael this Michael that the archangel is the hot topic of discussion within the bunker. Part of her wanted to scream at them and say this is Dean not Michael. She kept her mouth shut not wanting to cause any drama. She just wished they would shut up about Michael for once. She didn't want to Dean to hear and start exploring again in his head.
Mary sat with Dean and they both watched cartoons on the laptop. She yawns and starts to get bored. Sam, Cas and Jack are out on a hunt and Rowena, that witch has been in her room and not come out since Patrick left. The huntress did look in when she heard giggling coming from the witch's room. Rowena was on her bed with her phone in her hands texting. Mary heard the male witch's name as Rowena typed. It was funny when Rowena debated with herself whether to include kisses or not.
"Mommy."
"Yes baby."
"Me hungry."
Mary smiles.
"Okay let me go and have a look." She gets out of bed and pauses. "Actually how about we go out and eat."
"Out?"
"Yeah there is a diner nearby. They sell the best pie in the whole Kansas."
"Really!'
'Yes with a big scoop of ice cream." .
"Mommy mommy I wanna go I wanna go!"
Dean jumps up and down excitedly on the bed.
"Dean!"
Mary catches the laptop before it fell over. Dean stops and sits down. Mary smiles and scoops him up.
"Lets go and get ready baby."
"What about Rowena?"
Dean remembered there is still one person in the bunker.
"She's fine." Mary assured him.
"She will be lonely."
"Trust me she's not." Mary laughed.
"Someone else is here?"
"No." Mary shakes her head. "Nevermind let's go."
She carries Dean out of the room.
Dean sat in the back of the car and gazes outside. He watches people and cars go by. His face lights up.
"Look mommy doggy."
"That's nice honey." She replied not paying full attention him.
"Woof woof." Dean bounced happily in his seat. He points. "Look mommy a cat. Meow meow."
"That's great honey." Mary nodded.
Dean smiles and his eyes go wide with amazement as he watched a group of birds fly by.
"I wanna fly mommy like a superhero." He grins. "I want a cape." His grin widens. "Wings! I want wings."
Dean imagined having bat shaped wings.
Me Batman.
"Me fly." He beamed.
"Um..." Mary hesitates. She immediately thought about Michael's wings on her son's back. "Um..." She suddenly sighs with relief when she sees she is approaching the diner. "We're here."
Mary parks in the car park and gets out. She opens the door and removes Dean's seatbelt. She scoops him up and carries him into the diner.
A waitress approaches the mother and son with a welcoming smile.
"Hello and welcome to Andy's."
Dean buries his head into his mom's chest. The waitress laughs at his reaction.
"Don't be shy I don't bite." She sticks her hand out. "I'm Uma."
Dean raises his head his expression remained wary.
"Its okay Dean." His mom assured him.
Dean's little hand shakes the waitress's hand.
"Dean." He muttered.
"Dean. Well Dean shall we do a table for two. You and your mommy." He nods. "Follow me."
Uma leads Mary and Dean across the diner. Mary puts Dean down. She slides in the booth while Dean went the opposite. Uma puts the menus down.
"When you are ready to order just give me a shout."
Uma goes off to another table.
"Pie."
"Not yet." Mary says. "We eat dinner first. Chicken fingers?" Dean nods. Mary smiles. She still remembered what her son liked. She waves her hand gesturing for the waitress to come back. "Excuse me."
Uma walks back.
"You decided?"
"Chicken fingers and fries for him and cheese burger and fries for me."
Uma writes it down on the note pad.
"Any drinks?" She asks.
"Milk." Dean answers.
Mary nods.
"Milk for him coffee for me uh black please."
Uma scribbles it down.
"Okay anything else?"
"Pie." Dean squeaks.
"Not yet." Mary says.
Uma chuckles.
"Darling I'll have a chocolate pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream ready for you as soon as you finish your chicken fingers and fries. You like that?" Dean grins. "Awesome I'll go and do that now your orders should arrive shortly."
"Thank you." Mary smiled.
Uma winks and walks off.
Eventually the food came and the mother and son dug in. Mary tried to get Dean to eat nicely but it didn't go well. Uma laughs as Dean ate quick the little boy is so eager to get to dessert.
The waitress takes the plates.
"Dessert time." She beamed at the child.
"Yay!"
If Dean's smile could light up the room the room would be so bright. Uma has never seen a child that looked so cute. His eyes shine when he smiles.
She is one lucky mother. Uma thought as she looked at Mary.
Shortly after Uma brought the chocolate pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Dean's eyes went wide as saucers.
"Wow Dean." Mary pretend to gasp.
Dean straightens up in his seat with excitement.
"Here you are little man." Uma puts the plate down. "Enjoy."
"And Dean." Mary raises her eyebrow. "Table manners."
Dean groans.
"I know mommy. Can I eat now?"
"Yes."
Dean scoops a piece up with his spoon. He eats it. His eyes widen.
"Do you like it?" Uma asks.
"Yes."
Dean takes another bite. Chocolate is smeared over his face. Mary shakes her head and picks up the napkin.
"I wouldn't worry about it my brother is worse. He is an adult and he still gets food down himself." Uma chuckled.
Mary hears ringing from her pocket. She gets out her phone and looks at the screen.
Sam?
Mary prayed that he was still out. If he is home and sees her and Dean are not there she is screwed. She couldn't ignore his call. She didn't want to worry him.
She answers the phone.
"Hey Sam..."
"Mom? Where are you? Are you okay? Where's Dean?" He takes a sudden breath. "Is Michael?"
"No." Mary stands up. "Honey I just gotta take this don't move."
Dean was too engrossed into his dessert. Mary is sure he wasn't going anywhere.
"I'll watch him." Uma assured her.
Mary nods to say thank you. She steps outside and walks to the car.
"Sam."
"Where are you?" Sam asks.
"I took Dean out."
"You did what?"
"For dinner."
Mary leans on the car.
"For dinner? Mom why didn't you tell me."
"You were out. I didn't know you were gonna be back so soon."
"You still should have told me."
"I know what you would say. Sam Dean has been in too long he needed to go out."
"Yeah but we have a problem."
"Michael I know."
"We don't even know when the curse will wear off. There is a risk Michael will be back."
"That's why I am making the most out of it."
"Taking him out you are putting lives at risk."
"He is just a kid Sam."
"Dean is. Michael isn't. Mom I can't believe you were gonna keep this from me."
"I..."
"When are you gonna tell him?"
"About what?"
"Me. Who I really am."
"Sam."
Mary sighs and runs her hand down her face.
"You were never gonna tell him."
She again sighs.
"No."
"Mom!"
"It's for the best Sam." She argued.
"The best?"
"He might remember something. Dean might...come back and..."
"That's what we want. We want Dean back."
"You want Dean back." She spoke her tone abrupt.
"Mom..."
Sam sounded taken back.
"I missed all those years." Mary suddenly says. "I never saw him grow up. I wasn't there for him. Now I can finally be a mom to him."
"I want my brother. I haven't spent any time with him."
"You spent plenty of time with him."
"No. I want to help but you won't let me. You are pushing everyone away and having Dean to yourself."
"Can you not blame me? You and him have been together for years. Now its my turn to be with him." She glances at the window and watches her son talking to Uma. "Sam, I think it's for the best if I take Dean not good for him to be in the bunker."
"You basically don't want him around me."
"No."
"I'm not stupid. You're worried I am gonna tell him."
"He needs his mom."
"He needs his brother."
"I am doing what's right Sam."
"Mom I know this must be hard for you. Seeing Dean like this you are clinging to him. You gotta let go eventually. You don't have to do this alone we can do it together. Just come back to the bunker."
"I am not coming back. I am taking my son to the cabin."
"You have two sons mom." Sam answered his voice quiet. "I'm your son. At least Dean got to know you I didn't. Seeing you and him..." He swallows. "Its like I was never born. You pushed me out and it hurt. I just want to be together as a family. Like when dad came back."
"Don't."
Mary's heart ached at the memory.
"You have to stop protecting him. Dean is gonna find out eventually. We gotta be prepared for it. At least if Dean remembers he will not be vulnerable to Michael."
"I'll lose my baby." She choked. She quickly shakes her head. "I'm sorry Sam I already lost my boy once I can't do it again. I gotta go."
"Mom don't!"
"Goodbye Sam."
"Mo..."
Mary ends the call before Sam could finish. The huntress hurries back inside. Uma is sitting with Dean talking about superheros.
"You like Batman?"
"Yes." Dean nodded. "Who do you like?"
"Iron Man." Dean pulls a face at that. Uma waves her arms. "Oh come on Iron Man is awesome. He and Captain America both have a place in my heart."
"Batman forever." Dean folds his arms. "Batman defeat Iron Man."
"I don't think so."
"Batman rocks."
"So does Iron Man. Cap would totally beat Batman." Dean started to look annoyed. His reaction caused Uma to laugh. "You are cute when you're mad."
"Not funny." Dean pouted.
"It is sweetie it is."
"Dean." Mary joins them and gets out her purse. "I'm ready for the bill."
"Oh. Is there anything else you wanted?"
"No just the bill thank you." Mary quickly answered.
Uma frowns and goes off. She comes back with the bill. Mary pays with cash. The waitress thanks her for the money.
"What's wrong mommy?" Dean asks noticing how stressed his mom looked.
"Nothing baby."
She takes Dean's hand.
"Hope you come again." Uma smiled. She looks down at Dean. "Hope to see you too little man."
"Thank you for the pie." Dean smiled.
Mary grips his hand.
"Lets go."
She takes Dean out of the diner. Dean waves goodbye at the waitress and then goes in the car.
"Where are we going mommy?" Dean asks.
Mary puts on his seatbelt.
"We..." She slides in the driver seat. "We are gonna go and see a friend of mine."
"A friend?"
"Yeah."
She starts up the engine.
"His name is Bobby."
