A 1967 Chevy Impala.

Also known as: The car that saved the world, the car that was Sam, and Baby.

Now some might say that things like a car, albeit a very special one, don't have a consciousness, thoughts, generally things that humans have. But this car had been touched by and angel, and no just any Angel at that. Gabriel's touch of grace when he had made Sam the impala had left a little something extra.

Now, Baby was a whole different animal. Sure she looked, sounded, and acted like her old self but deep in her engines she watched over the two boys who had been with her for longer than she could count.

She had seen them fight, hunt together again, and seen Dean and Sam both find just a little something more than their hunting lives.

For Sam, his little bit more was finding the Angel that had set her apart. Sure, the Angel Gabriel now preferred the name Gabriella, but it was still the same person. And since angels really had no gender Sam had taken it in stride leaving Dean to watch alone from the sidelines... Well maybe not quite alone.

Baby had seen every look send towards the elder Winchester by a certain trench-coated angel. How he wanted to heal all the hunters wounds, and the resolve that he would not betray him again.

There were good times and bad times, as the hunters often had. But her personal favorite was on a clear night outside the bunker, when Dean decided to look up at the sky to make sure his angel wasn't falling again. That angel appeared and they simply stared.

Now staring is all well and good but Baby had had enough of their little staring contests. Making use of what little she had Baby managed to roll forward, just enough to send Dean toppling off his perch on the hood. He turned to look at the car

"I think your vehicle is trying to tell you something Dean"

"...I think you're right"

They spent the rest of the night looking at the sky, talking about anything and just sitting on the hood of Baby. She was so proud, now they could finally see how much better everything looked when they were together.

Also, that Baby was a genius but that could wait, all she needed for now was to see them together at last... With Sam and Gabriella high-fiving just inside the door of the bunker.
