It All Started With Candy

Part 27

I'm so sorry that i haven't made a part since August 😭 Also rereading this, I saw so many plot holes and things that don't really make sense so I'm sorry for that! Anyway let's get this ball rolling!

Recap: "Oh please don't hurt yourself dear! Sam has told me all about your selective mutism and I don't want to force any conversation out of you if you're not comfortable. However, I have put a notepad and a pen in front of you on the table if you wanted to communicate by writing, however it's perfectly fine if you don't want to do that! I can talk enough for the two of us!"

She gave me a playful wink and I let out an almost audible breathy laugh.

I think I'm starting to like her.

Present Time:

I slowly reached forward to grab the notepad and pen in front of me not looking away from her. The entire time she kept the same calm, motherly smile on her face. Obviously she's been expecting our first meeting to go because I know that Sam has been talking about me to her A LOT.

The way she's sitting there looking at me quietly indicates that she's expecting me to start. Uhhhhh what do I write??? Oh no this is a lot of pressure!

I just wrote down the first thing that popped into my mind, a simple hello. I showed her the notepad and she gave out a hearty laugh.

"Yes hello my dear! It's so nice to meet you after all this time!"

I gave her a smile in return that signaled I felt the same. Sam and Dean's mother really does seem like a genuinely nice and funny woman and I know that we're going to get along really well in the future. I wonder how long it's going to take until my brain allows me to actually talk to her.

A slight uncomfortable silence fell between us and I know she can feel it too, as the both of us started to fidget in our seats. She knows it's up to her to keep this conversation going.

"Soooo....you met my son at his new job correct?"

I nodded my head and she smiled at me.

"Yes, Sam has always been on a kick of independence. When the boy's father and I decided to get a divorce, I decided to move here with my share of the money and the boys did come with me for a little while. However, I could tell they were really missing him so they told me they wanted to move back, but I did stay in touch with me. After a few years, Sam called me saying that he met you at his new job and then shortly after be told me his father had fallen ill. I would like to say I feel bad about his passing and I don't like to speak I'll of the dead, but honestly I don't feel that badly."

The two of us shared a look of sympathy over speaking of the boy's newly deceased father. I could tell that she didn't feel bad for her ex husband, she felt bad for her children. Dean said that she wanted to meet me, but I feel like a part of this visit is because she wanted to be there for her boys while going through this hard time. However I don't think we're going to stay for long because the funeral will be soon.

I snapped out of my thoughts when she cleared her throat.

"Oh how rude of me! I haven't even told you my name! I'm so sorry, my name is Mary."

Mary, what a nice name. What are the odds that she would end up with a man named John, two biblical names. Well it's not like those names aren't uncommon.

She turned her head towards the right to the nearest window and frowned.

"Oh dear, I don't think Adam is going to make it here. I knew he said he would try but I don't think it's going to work out."

Adam? Who is Adam? I decided to write down "Who is Adam?" on the notepad and show it to her. She turned her head back to me when she heard me writing and I turned it around so she could see it. She smiled once she read it and gave out a little chuckle.

"I knew the boys were forgetful but I didn't think they would just not bring him up ever. Maybe they still hold a grudge against him for the way he is."

A grudge against him for the way he is? What is that supposed to mean? I wouldn't take Sam and Dean to be the type to hold grudges against people, especially if it's something they can't control. Oh boy what did I get myself into??

Mary must've seen the way I reacted because a flash of panic quickly spread across her face.

"Oh no no no! It's nothing too bad, I promise! I promise they love him, they can just be petty sometimes! They just like to tease him that's all! Oh that sentence came out so wrong, I'm terribly sorry!"

Okay, that just makes me more confused, is Adam a family member? Or just a close family friend. She said that they love him, but what is that supposed to mean? None of this is making sense!

I could tell my face is showing exactly what I'm thinking and feeling because that panic on her face is only increasing.

"I haven't even explained who he is yet! Im so sorry, you must be so confused! Adam is Sam and Dean's half brother. The three of them shared the same father, but Adam is not mine. However that never stopped me from loving him as if he was my own."

They have another brother and they never told me? How come? From the sounds of it, the only reason they would potentially dislike him would because Mary isn't his mother, but they seem to all still get along so I don't know why they wouldn't bring him up sooner. Granted it's not like I've known Sam and Dean my whole life so I guess that could have something to do with it? I'm pretty sure I asked Sam how many siblings he had at one point and he just answered that Dean was the only one. I'll have to ask him about it later.

Okay! That's all I'm going to get into right now as now seems like the best stopping point! I have been thinking and would y'all like a little prequel on Gabriel's home life before, during, and maybe after he got kicked out? I think showing his family dynamics would be pretty cool. Also I always read the comments and it seems like a lot of you want a smut scene. I don't think I've ever SERIOUSLY wrote a smut scene so I'll definitely think about it 👀 Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading!
