After a long night hunting,
all John wanted was to see his boys. But by the time he got back, Dean had
already seen himself and Sam to school. Nothing but the lonely solace of the
hotel room greeted him.
He rested for a few hours
until hunger woke him. Quietly, John walked to the fridge and opened the door.
He frowned.
On the top shelf of the
fridge rested a small plate with a sandwich prepared in the center. By the way
the sandwich was neatly centered on the plate, John knew this was one of
Sammy's masterpieces. But the generous helping of peanut butter nearly oozing
from the sides confirmed Dean had been involved as well.
He reached in and grabbed
it, pausing to lift one of the slices of bread. Apparently, Sam had gotten his
hands on Dean's gummy worms, too.
John held the plate, daring
not to eat the sandwich just yet. These were the moments he cherished, the ones
where he could almost pretend he couldn't feel the pain. And though he knew the
pain would come back, he could at least hold into these bright spots – his boys
– to make it through the day.
