Sorry for the wait. I've more or less dropped out of the SPN fandom and I haven't really been feeling it lately. I was feeling inspired though, so I got back to writing this.


Dean had been parked outside of his mom's house for five minutes now.

Dean can we just go in? Cas asked.

"No, you should know this stuff."

Cas sighed, but gestured for him to go ahead.

"Okay, why did my parents get divorced?"

Your mother was sick after Sam was born and your father stayed with her instead of taking care of you.

"Who took care of us instead?"

Bobby.

"And he's married to...?"

Ellen.

"Who's Adam?"

Your half-brother. Born to your father and his girlfriend Kate.

"And what's he doing now?"

He is in college. Pre-med.

Dean smiled. "Good. Now how's about we get in there? You've gotta try my mom's pie."

I'm a bit nervous. It's been a while since I met anyone's family.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay." Dean put a hand on the door handle. "You ready?"

Cas nodded, and they both got out and made their way to the front door.

Dean knocked and the door was opened by Mary a few moments later. "Dean!" She threw her arms around him.

"Hey, Mom. Sorry if we're a bit late."

"Oh, nonsense, you're right on time," she said as she released him. "Who's your friend? I thought you were bringing Cas."

"Mom, this is Cas." Dean put a hand on Castiel's shoulder. Cas waved.

Mary looked confused for a moment before her face brightened. "It's lovely to meet you, Cas. I'm Mary Campbell."

It's nice to meet you too.

Please come in, Mary signed slowly.

Dean's eyes widened. "Mom?"

She did her best to look innocent. "What? I know how to use Google."

Dean turned back to Cas to see that he was beaming. Thank you. That means a lot to me.

"Oh, it's nothing, really," Mary said after Dean translated. "Come on in, we're just waiting on your dad, Kate, and Adam."

"Right on time, huh?" Dean said as they followed her in.

Mary shrugged. "I barely exaggerated. It's only been ten or so minutes."

Dean gave Cas a, hopefully, reassuring smile just before they entered the den.

"Finally!" Sam said from his spot on the couch. "It's about damn time you guys got here!"

"It's okay, Sammy. I know you missed me."

Sam scoffed. "Yeah right, jerk."

"Bitch."

"Language!" Mary said. "You may not live here anymore, but I will not have swearing in my house."

"Sorry, Mom," they said in unison.

"Is this your other son then?" an unfamiliar voice said. Dean turned towards it to see a balding man in a suit.

"Yes, this is Dean," Mary said. "Dean, this is Zachariah Adler. We've been seeing each other for the last few weeks."

Zachariah held a hand out towards him. "Mary's told me a lot about you."

"I wish I could say the same," Dean said, shaking his hand, "but she hasn't really mentioned you."

"Dean Winchester, you bring that boy over here right now and let me have a look at him," Ellen said from across the room.

"Yes, ma'am." He turned back to Cas and gestured for him to lead the way.

"Castiel, right?" Ellen asked.

Cas nodded.

"Cas, this is Jo's mom, Ellen Singer."

Cas smiled and held out his hand. Ellen laughed as she used it to pull him into a hug. "No need to be so formal."

"Bobby in the kitchen?" Dean pointed a thumb over his shoulder.

"Not anymore," Bobby said from behind him.

Dean turned around. "Hey, Bobby. Good to see you."

"This that boy of yours?"

Mary huffed. "Was I the only one who didn't know?"

"Bobby, this is Castiel Milton."

Cas waved. I'm glad to meet all of you.

Ellen and Bobby asked Cas a few question about himself. And then...

"You didn't tell me your son was a faggot."

Everyone froze.

"What did you just call me?" Dean said.

Zachariah glared at him. "You heard me. I called you a f-"

"I think you should leave," Mary said quietly.

"Excuse me?"

"I won't have that sort of language under my roof, or anywhere near my son, for that matter."

Zachariah scoffed. "You're serious?"

"Get out of my house, I won't ask again."

"Mom, you didn't have to do that," Dean said after he was gone.

"Yes I did, honey. Nobody should speak to you like that."

John poked his head into the room. "Why do I feel like I'm missing something?"


This chapter was supposed to be longer, but I've been working on it for the better part of two months, so I figured I'd throw you guys a bone. A short chapter is better than nothing, right?

Mary's boyfriend was originally just gonna be some random guy, but after rewatching Dark Side of the Moon, I decided to make it Zachariah.
