Whilst we were waiting to drop by Bobby's house, Will and I were doing some research of our own. I was looking into the Winchester family background and Will was researching the Talbots. We were trying to answer the questions that had been raised over the past 30 years for both of us.
Why was it that I families had been 'cursed' for want of a better word? What abilities did I have? Did I have any dormant abilities? My grandfather after all was precognitive and telekinetic, my precognition was apparent but was the telekinesis laying dormant or just not there. As I was having twins what would happen to them? Would the youngest one continue the pattern or would the abilities be passed to both of them? My earlier research had shown that this was the first set of twins in the Winchester line. Will needed to know why his parents had been targeted, as far as he could tell he didn't have any abilities. However, it was strange at times how we could look at each and know exactly what the other was thinking without having to say anything. Will told me that on more than one occasion this had happened on a case as well, he said he had been working with Tony and they would look at each other him and he would know what Tony was thinking.
We would take breaks to investigate the town, grab a meal and start researching the best possible items to fill a nursery with. We were making a list so that as soon as we returned to DC we could purchase the items and decorate the nursery, I now had a little less than 3 months to go. We both decided that we would need to demon proof the nursery but needed to do this as subtly as possible (a bright red devils trap on the ceiling might raise some questions with colleagues). We found a carpenter (also a hunter) who could make us a crib and he would add all the needed protections. We decided to lay a hardwood floor and make a devils' trap in lighter wood by the door and window and then cover this with rugs and lastly on each corner of the ceiling we would paint angels.
As we were packing up on one of our research sessions, and getting ready to go out and get something to eat, Bobby phoned and asked us to drop by the following day. He said it was important but wouldn't tell us anymore than that. My stomach flipped, would I finally to be getting some information about where John, Dean and Sam were? We headed out to eat but my heart really wasn't in it, Will looked across the table at me and said "Everything is going to be alright" in the calming way that he has. I knew immediately that he was right, that there was no reason to worry as I could not affect the outcome of the news.
We arrived at Bobby's at about 10 the following day, and as we pulled up I saw it. It was John's car, I couldn't believe he still had it my heart leapt into me throat and tears came to my eyes. I was going to see my brother after 25 years, I was going to be able to introduce him to my family and hopefully see my nephews again. As I walked past the car, it was still how I remembered it, sleek black and spotless, I laid my hand on the hood, and I was hit by the old memories of him driving me around Lawrence with Mary and Dean during my summer vacations. As I stood there with my hand on the hood, a voice came from the house "Hey lady, get your hand off my car", it wasn't Johns voice it was too young. A rush of
thoughts flooded my brain. Why did John get rid of the car he loved it so much, whose car is this and why did Bobby want us back if John wasn't here. My knees went out from underneath me, and the next thing I remember was Will and Bobby leaning over me in his living room. I turn to Will who was fussing over me making sure that I was alright, that I was not hurt, and that the babies were ok, I took a sip from the glass of water he handed and then sat up.
As I look around the room, I see two men standing in the corner of the room, one who is looking slightly sheepish Will must have laid into him when I passed out. They step out of the corner, and as I get a better look at them I can see who they are without having to be told, they look so much like their mother and their father. I attempt to stand up and Will pushes me back down telling me I need to rest. I tell him I am fine, that I can rest later and that I need to do this now. Will helps me up, and I turn to the two men I have a lump in my throat is has been 25 years since I have seen either of them.
Bobby tells them that it is ok, that he has checked us both out we are not possessed and that Will is a hunter and that I am his wife. The men slowly step further into the room. The oldest one starts to apologize, I put my hand up and stop him saying "Dean, it's ok; I understand totally, you must love the car as must as your father does." He glances at the younger one and mouths 'what the f…, is going on', Sam mouths back 'I have no idea'. I realize at this point that Bobby has got them here but hasn't told them who we are. I move towards them and shortly I am standing in front of my nephews. I take in a deep breath, I know that this is going to be hard for me and them, and begin "my name is Samantha Winchester, and I'm your aunt". They look at the each other and then back at me and Dean states "That's a load of bull lady, we don't have an aunt." Bobby interrupts at this point as he can see that this is about to get heated. He tells the boys that it's true, I am Samantha Winchester that I arrived a few days ago, and that he has done all the usual and several other checks to verify me details.
Will and I tell Dean and Sam that we understand that they probably need sometime. That they will want to read through Bobby's research and verify this for themselves. We tell them that we are staying at a local hotel tell them Bobby has the number and that once they are happy that everything is ok and they want to talk some more to get Bobby to give us a call. I reluctantly left, as I knew nothing else was going to be accomplished now and until Dean and Sam were secure in the knowledge of who I was they wouldn't tell me anything about John.
