"What ? What are you saying , man ? Who was on the call , Dean ?" Its not normal and not even in the Winchester family. You don't just get a news that you have a younger brother , about whose existence you have no idea, well, up until today.
"I don't know, Sam. There's this man who just called me and said that I am apparantly the legal guardian as per the will of some Kate Milligan of her 12 years old son , Adam Milligan. I have no freaking clue who this Kate woman is. I have never met her or her kid before. He said since she apparently died in a car crash and they couldn't reach Dad , well ain't that obvious. They had my number in case of emergencies. Can you believe that ?"
Dean gave a humourless laugh. He was way too pissed at his dad. If the man were here , Dean would have broken his nose.
Sam even after scoring a full ride to Stanford was having difficulty in processing this information. 'Welcome to our lives. Better than any daytime television out there , full of drama.' He thought sarcastically.
"How could the man do that ? He used to love mom didn't he ? Then how could he just go and cheat on her ?" Dean said angrily.
"I don't even know what to say , man. Did Dad ever mentioned to you about Kate or Adam ?"
"Are you having some stroke , Sam? What dad just came to me one day and said , 'Son , you have a new younger brother. Wanna meet him and her mom ?' And I would have just nodded my head excitedly. Of course he never mentioned them."
Dean was furious. At times like this he wished he had never left hunting. Because then he could take out his anger and frustration by killing some fuglies. And lives of people would be saved , well that was just bonus.
"Thats not what I meant. I didn't ask whether Dad directly mentioned them. What I meant was just if he ever mentioned them indirectly or somethin."
"You know he never used to just mention anything indirectly or casually. His whole life he followed 'need to know basis'. He told us only those things what he thought we need to know."
"Well I guess having a younger brother out their somewhere was something that we really needed to know."
Sam was also furious at his dad. He couldn't even dream about what was happening right now and here he was outright living it. Yeah being a Winchester is never boring , doesn't matter you hunt or not , your life continues to be full of excitement , drama and thriller.
"Lets stop referring him as our younger brother. He is not. I have only one little brother and thats you. He was , I don't know a mistake or something but one thing I do know that he would never be a part of this family. Lets go , I don't wanna go waste my time going there and meeting some kid who is a living proof of how our father cheated on our mother."
With that Dean made his way towards the car. But before he could sit , Sam grabbed his arm.
"Lets go meet the kid." Sam said carefully , knowing fully well how angry his brother is.
"Excuse Me ?" Dean asked , his expression a concoction of incredulity and irritation.
"Dean , I am angry at Dad too. But we can't just not meet the kid. Lets just meet the kid atleast and then we would figure the rest."
Sam explained patiently. They cannot just ignore it. It would be wise to first meet the kid and then they would decide the rest. He is angry at his dad too but there is a twelve year old kid who was depending on them.
"No , there would be no figuring the rest. We had nothing to do with Dad's mistake. He made a mess and what ? we are supposed to clean it. We are going to South Dakota , Sam." He again started making his way towards the car but he was stopped again and this time by his brother's voice.
"DJ lost his mother in a car crash and he would have lost me too if I was there with her. Then what would have happened to him. Jess's parents didn't like me from the start and ever since her death , they had maintained no contact with DJ or me. You didn't know I had a son. He would have been thrown into the system too. You know how these things work."
Sam explained softly. He could relate with Adam in a sort of way. Ever since Jess's death he had thought about that. His son would have lost in the system all because his father didn't introduce him to his uncle and his maternal grandparents were snobby bastards.
Dean's whole body tensed as he pondered over what Sam had said. These systems , they are corrupt and most of the times the kids lives are destroyed by them. Many times when they were kids they had to move from one motel to another not only because of the demon but sometimes just to be out of radar of these corrupt systems.
He glanced at his nephew who was sleeping peacefully in his car seat. He loved DJ , he couldn't even think about him like that. And also he didn't know what he would have done if Sam had died. And the last time he would have seen his little brother would be when he stormed out of that motel room after his fight with his dad. He was never much of praying type but he still thanked whoever was up there that his brother and his nephew were safe and alive here with him.
Sam could see the way Dean's whole posture changed. He had been able to somewhat convinced Dean to atleast see the kid. The rest they would figure out later.
"Okay , we will just see the kid and thats all. Nothing more than that , Sam. Understand ?"
Dean would just meet the kid and thats that. They would be on their merry way. Yes, thats a plan. He nodded to himself.
"Yes , sir." Sam replied. And together both brothers made their way to the car.
