John found out he had another son, and he was going to meet him for the first time and he was nervous as hell, it's why he let Dean take the Impala. If this meeting went south there was no way to look for him except a first name, and a cell phone number. He pulled up to the Normal looking house in Minnesota, with a baseball glove, and a box of chocolates.

John marched to the front door and rang the doorbell, Kitty answered the door, just as beautiful as John remembered. "Hi, Kitty." John said dumbly.

"Hi" Kate blushed at her old nickname before nervously and tugging at her clothes. "I'm glad you could make it. Come in."

"Mom who is it?" a voice of a young boy asked.

"Adam come here I want you to meet someone." As the boy raced into the room and then cautiously stayed behind his mother and peeked around her to get a better look at John.

John saw Adam, and was struck at how much he looked like his brothers, all lanky and long limbed. "Hello, my name is John."

"Oh, is he my Bio-dad?" the kid looked between John and his mom expectantly.

Kate looked at John and shrugged, "I… Yeah, yes, I mean yes I am your … uhh dad." John stuttered out.

"cool." And with that he leaves rather uncaring about the entire situation.

"So, that was Adam." Kate smiles.

"Adam" John tested the name ", seems very … pragmatic." John said looking at where the kid stood.

"He has lived his life in a hospital, raised by the staff there. He has a very realistic view of the world, I just wanted you to know you have a kid, and maybe meet him." Kate led John into the sitting room, "I don't need, or want anything from you, and neither does Adam." The two sat down. "So, relax, just enjoy this weekend and get to know us."

"I will do that." John did relax into his seat.

John did get to know Adam, he found out he was athletic, and luckily loved baseball but was equally excited about hockey, he was very smart, and he wanted to become a doctor. John loved getting to Know Adam, the 12 year old was interesting, and so much like his brothers it hurt, seeing what they could have been.

John's weekend turned into a visit until after new the New Year's. He watched Adam play hockey, even took a shot at skating himself. He learned that the woman he knew as kitty is named katya, and goes by Kate, John still called her Kitty though. John thought now was the perfect time for Kitty to phone him, both his sons were distancing themselves from him, Sam ran away, and he only just found out where that idiot ran too, Dean kept his lips tight on his brothers whereabouts until It was too late to do anything about it. There was also Dean himself, always running to California, and not to see Sam either, he has heard Deans attempts to reach his wayward brother. John vaguely remembers a family that Dean was rather fond of, and also Dean was rather attached to Noah's kid, but like Sam, Dean had a protector in the form of Bobby, and getting any information out of that paranoid bastard was like pulling your own teeth out with a chopstick. John liked being here, playing house, and in the two weeks he never touched the bottle once.

On Christmas day, John phoned Sam, who never changed his number, John wanted to think it was a good sign, and left a message, he also phoned Dean who picked up with laughter in his voice, and there were people in the background laughing and enjoying themselves. John quickly wished him a merry Christmas, and hung up, Dean barely got his own Christmas wishes out in time. John didn't like the juxtaposition he was seeing, his sons have found their happiness, and he is playing pretend in Minnesota, practically across the country from Sam and Dean, Christmas was a quiet affair at the Milligan household, giving John plenty of time to think of his failed family, Mary, dead and his sons run away from him. John couldn't think of one Christmas after Mary's death that he spent with his kids. In fact he more remembers Dean getting arrested for stealing some necessity like food, or pickpocketing money for the hotel John abandoned them at, or even on a whim toys for Sam before he got better at not getting caught. John sat and watch the snow fall thinking about how this has been his only normal ish Christmas in years, and it's with some people he just met. John wanted to use this as a second chance, so john set up the Milligan's with his phone number, and a way to contact him.

John left and looked back at the pair who was waving from their window, and promised himself he may not be around, but at least he won't screw this kid up. It was his second chance at being a part of one of his son's lives. John refocused on the road, and made mental plans of all the things he could teach Adam and none of that list pertained to hunting. Maybe this was his happiness that his other sons have apparently already found without him, and if it was John was going to make the best of it. John looked into his rear view mirror, and made a promise to keep the Milligan's away from hunting and that means Sam and Dean, they will never know of Adam, John will take the information to the grave.
