Baby - Life on the Road

by bjxmas

This is Baby's legacy, to roar down two-lane blacktop, a warrior and a protector. She's been there from the beginning and will be with them until the end. Through good times and bad. She's a hunter, part of the family business. Most importantly, she's home to the Winchesters. This is her story. 100 word drabbles. Baby remembers the early days.

2. Son of a Preacher Man

Chapter Two - Son of a Preacher Man

Sal Moriarty.

An alcoholic.

With two ex-wives.

A bad heart.

And a yearning to do good.

To find redemption by helping others.

It's sort of a tradition around me.

Saving the world.

Sal drove around the countryside giving out Bibles.

'Gettin' folks right for Judgment Day.'

He had his methods.

Later, the Winchesters had theirs.

He was a sweet man.

Earnest but flawed.

As most men are.

His father was a pastor.

Raised him to believe.

Sal went his own way for a time.

Rebelling.

Before a change of heart

And a return to faith.

Following in his daddy's footsteps.

The End

All standard disclaimers apply.

I love the voice-over in Swan Song, the backstory on Baby and why she was pretty much the most important object in the whole wide world. She was chosen, just as our Winchesters are chosen.

Thanks for reading, comments welcome!
