Heaven Can Wait

INTERLUDE 2

She had known the moment Dean died. Would have known even if she hadn't been watching. She could instantly feel his presence in Heaven with her, though he was destined to be in Limbo for some time.

The moment she had expelled her remaining earthly power saving them from that malevolent poltergeist, her soul appeared at the gates of Heaven, where St. Peter had ushered her in before returning to his laundry list of Limbo dead. She was sure, that had she not been ensnared as a ghost inside that house, she would have been just like her son—demanding to go back to John, back to Dean, back to her six-month-old Sam. But the time spent in the spirit realm cured her of that instant desire.

Most newly dead souls faded, forgetting their past life, drifting aimlessly, singing praises to God, or waiting for reincarnation. She couldn't do that, her family was her everything. John...John was still the love of her life. She didn't want to remember any past lives, didn't want to become a new person. And so she became one of the few who maintained her identity.

She immediately applied for guardian angel status and was officially granted the right to be the guardian angel to any and all Winchesters. Since then, she had done all she could in the short time since to protect her family. Watched her two sons become men and more than brothers. Watched her husband fight very hard, avenging her death and raising their children.

She was just sad it hadn't been enough.

She had almost been wishing it could have been John. Sam and Dean, they had each other, and would have been perfectly content to live life out, just the two of them, forever. But Evil had a way of interfering, and God didn't always step in.

That was why, when Mary was called by God, she was surprised. But she hadn't heard more beautiful words spoken in Heaven than God sending her to help her new Dean. He wouldn't be the same, but he would always be her son. No new mother, new body, could change that.

She knew Sam would be ok. He had John, his own ability to cope. For Sam, knowing the love had been there was enough. But Dean had never been happy without Sam. Dean needed his younger brother, body, heart, and soul. The connection between her two sons was something that was so bright, so true, anyone in the spirit world—Heaven or Hell—could see its pulse. She knew there was nothing stronger than love, and no love stronger than that of her sons for each other.

When Dean came into the world again, she was right there, smiling down on him, more proud than the day she had born him, herself.

So, Sam's about 20 years older than Dean? And Dean is a squalling baby again. Hee. Like I said before, this is going to be excellent.

Also, I love your Mary POV. There really ought to be more of that in fandom.

Yeah, I think you'll find it interesting for sure! lol About 20 yeah.

Thank you! I agree.

That's really intriguing. I'm really looking forward to the rest. I can totally picture a young brash Dean who'll need someone like Sam to keep him in line. :)

Haha. Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy. :-)

You make me very very angry you know that? Because you killed Dean and he'll be a wee one and that makes me mad, because how the hell will Dean/Sam love prevail?!

But it's so beautiful that he was reincarnated and is able to be with Sam, if it's not in the same form.

You make me mad and I love it.

*cries* I didn't want to make anyone angry...*sniffles*

No, worry, I assure you there will be Dean/Sam love--in more than one way.

Thank you and I am glad you're enjoying. Makes me want to keep writing it, that's for sure.:-)
