27. Brownies
Reaching into the oven, Missouri surveys her handiwork before pulling out the hot pan of rich, fudgey brownies. Best in the state. Won two blue ribbons for them. But today, she made them extra tasty. It's for the two little, lonely boys in her front room, currently occupying her couch.
Sure, it's John Winchester's sons. A man she really hated tangling with the first time. But, as John does, he leaves a legacy of broken – but independent – things in his wake. Such as the scruffy Sam and his older "I have issues but act gruff" brother.
Oh, she can see them. See their past, their future. Well, parts anyway. Not everything. She sees how much Sam misses a girl with blonde hair and a happy smile. How Dean wishes for more freedom, more revenge, really. She'd have to keep an eye out on that one.
But both men, no matter if they were thirty-six or six-and-a-half, need their mommas. And those boys lost theirs years ago. They miss her. Boys nearly always do.
So, Missouri does what any mother would do. She scolds them, hugs them, then bakes them brownies.
Mary would be proud of them.
