Hello dear readers.
Hannah decided she wanted a 'normal' vacation for her family. But how long can the Winchesters stay in one very secluded place, with nothing to hunt.
"When's Papa getting here?" Logan whined as he hung upside down off the couch.
"And Bobby and Daisy." Kaden added from where he was, draped over the back of the couch.
"Tomorrow." Hannah answered for what seemed like the hundredth time. Things were so not going as Hannah had hoped. All she'd wanted was a nice quiet family vacation. She'd researched for weeks to find the perfect place. When she'd finally found this log cabin, that was tucked away in the woods, and had just enough room, she knew it was just meant to be. She should have known better. Her family wasn't used to sitting still for very long. Not unless that is they're busy researching something to hunt. Right now the only one that seemed to be okay with everything was her oldest son Ethan, and that was only because he'd brought a stack of books to read. Once he was done with those, she was sure he would join in his cousins whining.
With a heavy sigh she turned her back to her family and walked into the kitchen. Just like the rest of the cabin best way to describe the kitchen was cozy. Hannah started busying herself with the task of fixing her family dinner. She hadn't even started cooking when a warm tingle went down her spine. She didn't bother to turn around. She just continued on with her preparations for cooking, waiting for Sam to say something first. She didn't have to wait long.
"The place is really nice."
Keeping her back to him Hannah rolled her eyes. A few more minutes of silence passed then Sam said.
"On the way up here Dean got a call."
When Sam didn't expound on that sentence Hannah slowly turned and asked. "From who? An old flame? A random wrong number? An old hunting buddy?"
"Hannah." Sam took a step forward, but Hannah quickly moved away.
"So what is it? Spirit, witch, vampire, or unknown?" Even to Hannah her voice didn't sound right. "As you head down call Dad, I'm sure he'll want to help. Bobby too. Kathy can call Daisy." Hannah tried to make it to the door, but was quickly trapped by Sam's arms on each side of her, his body blocking any escape.
"Would you be still for just a minute?"
"I can't we need to pack…" Sam's lips didn't let Hannah finish her sentence. A very small part of her hated when Sam would do this. I very, very small part.
When he finally broke the kiss, his finger rubbed across her lips as he talked. "As I was trying to say, Dean got a call, yes from as you put it an old hunting buddy. He just happened to have stayed here a few years back. Dean was a little worried, it being so far off the grid as it is."
"That's why I liked it." Hannah whispered.
Sam smiled kissing the end of her nose. "I know what you want, and I want to give it to you. This family is just not used to…"
"Being stationary."
"Pretty much." Leaning closer so his lips were just touching hers Sam added. "But we love making you happy." He kissed her, then suddenly turned and left the kitchen. Hannah stood for a moment not really sure what had just happened. When the sounds of laughter came from the living room, she rushed to the door and smiled at what she saw.
Sam was standing just behind the couch with Kaden tossed over his shoulder. Noah was clinging to his right leg while Logan was trying to right himself off of the couch, but was laughing to hard. Dean was laughing from where he was lounging in an overstuffed chair. Sam walked over dragging a laughing Noah with him and flipped Kaden onto Dean's lap. And the fight was on.
Shaking her head Hannah stepped back into the kitchen. The sounds of laughter and squealing continued from the living room until everything suddenly went silent. Hearing the swish of the door Hannah turned to see Ethan standing there his face red from laughter, hair ruffled from fun.
"Daddy sent me to check on dinner."
Hannah smiled. "Well tell him and everyone else that dinner is ready."
Nodding, Ethan turned and stuck his head out the door. "Dinner's ready."
Dinner was filled with more laughing, and talking about everything and nothing. Hannah loved the fact that not once was a hunt or kill mentioned. When dinner was finished Sam and Dean insisted on cleaning up.
Just as Hannah started to notice the kids getting fidgety again, their fathers stepped out of the kitchen and announced for everyone to get their coats on. Hannah and Kathy glanced at each other, shrugged and went about helping the kids get their coats, boots and hats on. It had snowed the night before and a little that morning so there was a nice blanket of snow all around. Hannah, Kathy, and the twins stayed close to the house while the others moved deep into the snow. Almost instantly the snow was flying.
Ethan kept himself shielded by his father while Logan and Kaden tried to snag their father, but Dean was just too quick for them. Soon both boys found themselves being tossed into a nearby snowbank. As Dean stood over his sons laughing he was struck in the back of the head by a snowball. He spun around looking toward Sam, who was laughing at him, but was at the wrong angle. Turning slowly his eyes locked on Kathy. His eyes narrowed and he ran toward her. She squeaked jumping to her feet, but he was too quick. Soon she was draped over his shoulder heading toward the same snowbank. Distracted Dean wasn't ready for Sam to attack. Just as Kathy landed in the snowbank Dean was joining her. Sam laughed, Ethan still safely hidden behind his father.
Meanwhile Noah and Emma were happily piling snow up, then knocking it down. When their noses and cheeks turning a bright red Hannah took them back into the cabin. She quickly removed the wet cold clothes replacing them with warm jammies. Hannah then placed them in the playpen, near the fireplace. After starting a fire, she headed into the kitchen to warm up the homemade hot chocolate she'd brought. As that simmered, she went back into the living room. After doing a quick once over Hannah preceded to rearrange the furniture. After shifting the couch and chairs closer to the fireplace. Next came all the pillows and blankets she could find neatly pilled. Looking over her creation Hannah smiled. Just as she was finished creating the nice cozy area, the door opened and in stumbled her cold wet family.
"Stop right there." She said causing them all to freeze. "There is no reason to track all that snow and slush through the house. Towels are right there, along with fresh clothes."
"Wonderful as always darlin'." Dean said giving her a wink.
Hannah hurried back into the kitchen to grab a tray and fill it with mugs and the hot chocolate. When she came back out Sam was picking up the twins and looking over the new furniture lay out. "Babe what's all this?"
"This is warm and cozy." Hannah said smiling. "Everyone in." As everyone climbed in she handed them mugs full of steaming hot chocolate.
Soon everyone was relaxed and warm all the way through. The family lapsed into a comfortable silence, lost in their own thoughts. Noah and Emma were the first to drift off to sleep both draped across Sam's lap. Kathy drifted off next snuggled up to Dean her head on his bare chest. Ethan tried to fight sleeping but his mother's hands rubbing lightly on his back soon had him drifting off. Logan and Kaden were next. Logan laid out across Kathy's lap, Kaden across Dean's. Sam and Dean soon gave into peaceful sleep. Hannah sat for a few minutes loving the sounds of her family's soft breathing. She finally snuggled close to Sam laying her head on his bare chest and let sleep take her.
This was how John, Bobby, and Daisy found them early the next morning. Before any of them started to stir John was able to get a picture of his pile of kids. Smiling down at them he had to admit this had been a very good idea.
