Before they knew it, Dean's phone rang Sam and Jessica had landed in Lawrence just five minutes ago. Was John ready to face his middle child? How was their relastionship? He didn't have long to ponder this before the Impala pulled into the airport.
"What gate did he say he was at?" asks Adam.
"G," says Dean.
The three quickly run into the airport eager to greet Sam and Jess. Adam was the first to get to Sam wrapping his arms around his brother.
"Hey there kiddo," says Sam hugging right back.
He and Dean gave a hand shake before giving a slight hug. Jess hugged Adam and then Dean. Sam held out his hand for John, but John grabbed his son and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you too," says Sam.
"Mr. Winchester," says Jessica before she is hugged by John.
John had only seen Jess a few times around Stanford with his son, but if she made Sam happy she was fine by John.
"Can't breath," murmurs Jess.
"Sorry," says John.
"Where's Kate?" asks Sam surprised normally his stepmom would pick him up to.
"Kate and Carmen went for a girls day out," says Dean, "which means we're having our own boys day out…..so Jess we'll drop you off at the spa and then Sammy will get his ass kicked by me and Adam –
"Oh you wish," says Sam as he playfully punched Dean.
John smiles at his sons, they seemed close they all seemed close.
"How's Stephanie?" Sam teased Adam.
Adam's cheeks went red.
"How do you know?" asks Adam who looks nervously at his father and brother.
Was Adam keeping his girlfriend a secret? By his antics it seemed he was. John found that cute, he could remember Sam hiding his girlfriend.
"Facebook," says Sam.
"Adam John Milligan you have a girlfriend and you didn't tell your favorite big brother?" asks Dean faking a hurt face.
"Oh puh-lease," says Sam, "so did you kiss her?"
"Did you get to third base?" asks Dean.
"DEAN!" warns John his fifteen-year-old better not have gotten to third base.
"What's third base?" asks Adam.
"I uhh tell you later," says Dean, "not in front of the Pops,"
John and Dean sat in front while Adam, Sam and Jess sat squished in the back.
"So Dean told me 3.9 Adam?" asks Sam, "that's pretty good maybe you'll join me at Stanford-
"Please we don't need another lawyer in our family Sammy," says Dean, "you're enough,"
"Hey if he wants to be-
"He wants to be a doctor," says John remembering Kate telling him that Adam wanted to be a doctor.
"A mechanic, a lawyer and a doctor oh my," says Jess.
That got the boys to give a laugh, John couldn't be happier. But out of the corner of his eye Mary stood on the corner.
"Dad you all right?" asks Dean.
"Yeah I just thought….I just thought never mind," says John.
Had he really seen Mary? Or was it just his mind playing tricks with his aching for her, aching for her to see her happy children? Or was she really there?
