A/N: Hey guys! I am so so so so so sorry that it has taken me so long to write this. Writer's block is a curse. So here it is. I will try to update sooner from now on. Enjoy!
I wake up the next morning to Jack not being beside me. I start to panic. Was it all just a dream? I sit up fast enough to make my head spin, knocking my laptop of the bed beside me. Crap! I look up to see Jack come in my room, brushing his teeth. I sigh in relief.
"What was that?" Jack asks, around the tooth brush in his mouth.
"I dropped my laptop." I tell him, deciding to stick with only part of the truth to save me the embarrassment. I slip off the bed and pick up my laptop that is, thankfully, not shattered into a million pieces. Jack leaves my room to go finish brushing his teeth, giving me time to calm myself down a bit. What the hell was that, Hayley? I run my hands through my hair, taking a deep breath. I decide to get up and get dressed, picking out some jean shorts and a rock band tank top. I slip my phone into my back pocket and head into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Jack is just finishing his teeth when I pick up my toothbrush.
"How did you sleep?" Jack asks me.
"Good. Kinda dreamless. What about you?" I ask while I put toothpaste on the brush.
"Me too. Surprisingly."
"Why so surprised? You were exhausted. Sometimes that can cause you to not have any dreams." I say.
"I guess but I figured I would have nightmares. After everything that happened." Sitting on the side of the bathtub to continue talking to me while I get ready.
"Yeah that's true. Be prepared. They might come tonight. You know, now that you're not exhausted." I warn him, after spitting out toothpaste.
"So, I wonder if there is any news about Mary." He asks as I pick up my hair brush, through in my hair into a bun and grabbing my mascara.
"Guess we will find out when we get to the kitchen. They are probably in there." I tell him.
"Ready?"
"Yeah." I say, putting away my stuff. "Let's get some coffee."
We enter the kitchen to see Dean standing by the sink. I clear my throat to alert him that we are there so we don't startle him. I sit down at the table and Jack walks over to the cupboard and grabbing to cups. I can already see that we are falling back into routine.
"Hey guys. How did you sleep?" Dean asks. I can see that he didn't sleep well.
"Um, I didn't sleep that bad." I say. Jack nods in response.
"Good. I'm glad you guys got some sleep. You both needed it."
"Speaking of needing sleep, did you sleep at all?" Jack asks him.
"Yeah. I sleep fine." He says, obviously lying.
"Dean, I know when your lying." I tell him.
"I know." Dean responds, leaving the room with his coffee. Jack puts a cup in front of me and I take a sip.
"You hungry? I can try to make something." Jack offers.
"That's sweet but I think I'm just gonna have a pop tart. Want one?" I respond.
"Yeah, sure." He says. I hand him one and we eat in silence. A comfortable silence. When we finish our breakfast, we go into the other room to check on Mary. I immediately see that nothing has happened yet. Gabe and Cas are standing over her, trying to get Gabe's grace to work enough to bring her back, Sam is reading a book about archangel grace and dean is simple staring off into space.
"Anything yet?" I ask, hopeful. Gabe shakes his head, sadly.
"Why don't you two go get some stuff at the store. All we have in the fridge is beer." Sam tells us. I nod and grab the credit card he is handing me.
"Come on." I say to Jack. I take his hand and pull him out of the room.
As we exit the bunker, I notice Jack seems a little quiet. I try to ignore it but my curiosity gets the better of me.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask, stopping.
"Nothing."
"I know you better than that. Tell me what's wrong." I say to him.
"It's just, I feel like its my fault that Mary is…" He trails off, not wanting to say the truth.
"It's not your fault. You did everything you could. I promise you that no one blames you, okay?" I say quietly, wrapping my arms around him. "Plus, We will find a way to bring her back."
"I wouldn't be so sure. Honestly, I'm scared." He says.
"I am too. But we got to have hope." I tell him. He nods.
"Yeah, I guess." He mutters. I kiss his cheek and take his hand, making him continue walking. After a couple minutes, we reach the small store. We walk in and go straight to the food isle. I grab some bread, cheese, bacon, soda, pop tarts, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and of course pie. We carry it up to the counter and a teenage girl, around my age, rings it up. We pay and leave. On the way back, Jack stays pretty quiet, even though I'm trying to start a conversation.
"Guys, we are back!" I yell when we enter. I put the stuff away and we walk into the room where Mary is. I see that Gabe is in the middle of attempting to bring her back, again. We quietly slip in the room and lean ourselves against the wall to watch. A few minutes later, Mary sits up really fast. My jaw drops. Honestly, I didn't think they could do it. I look around the room to see everyone else just as stunned. Guess I wasn't the only one.
"Mom!" Dean runs over to her and hugs her. She gives him a reluctant side hug. She looks super confused. Does anyone else notice? I walk over slowly.
"Mary? Is that you? It's alright. You died in the apocalypse world. Gabe brought you back." I say slowly and quietly.
"Hayley? What are you talking about? Why are you calling me…" She stops and looks down at her body. "Bloody hell."
"W-what?" I say.
"Mom? what's wrong?" Dean asks, concerned.
"Well, sorry to tell you this but I'm not mommy Winchester." She says.
"Who are you, then?" Sam asks.
"What, you don't recognize me in this body, Moose?"
"Crowley?" Dean asks in shock.
"Hello boys."
A/N: Yay! A cliff-hanger lol. Don't hate me. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
