Mary Winchester | 13 | [Action]

[was_a_hunter]

[Anyone passing by the kitchen will notice either a sickeningly sweet smell or something that will make their mouths water...it all really depends on how you feel about pie. That's right. Pie. Mary had meant to do this after horror month, but Oktoberfest and being weird little monsters put a stop to that. You couldn't exactly cook when you were a foot tall. Everyone deserved something nice though, especially after the hell that they had all been through.

Walking into the kitchen, the source of the scent is apparent soon enough. There are already a few pies set on the counter of various flavors. It looked like she'd been cooking for a few hours and she likely had. It was all worth it though.

Hearing a soft ding, she grabbed a set of mitts and pulled a fresh apple pie from the hot oven.]

...I can't believe how much I missed this...

[Cooking breakfast was one thing...but there was just something about baking that relaxed her.]

Comments

[was_a_hunter]

[Oh, she loved getting that reaction. I'm afraid so~. Is it really so surprising?

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

I didn't think there were any other Winchesters. Are you their sister? *grins, she knows they don't have a sister, but wow, this woman definitely didn't look old enough to be their mom.

She sits down and offers one of the mugs to Mary*

[was_a_hunter]

[And then you think about the fact that Dean's OLDER than her right now.

Unable to help the grin at the question, she just reaches for her mug and holds it between her hands.] Their mother; But thank you~. [Like any mother accused of being her kids sister, she was ridiculously pleased. Forget the fact that there was a time skip and she was technically supposed to be dead...it was still nice to hear.]

If I have my way, there will be more Winchesters. [Those boys needed to settle down.]

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

*she makes a face that's, well, perfectly appropriate for anyone who actually knows Sam and Dean to make at the thought of either of them settling down for real*

I'm not so sure about that one. They're a bit too...wild if you get my meaning.

[was_a_hunter]

[Oh, she knows all too well how wild they are. It IS possible though.]

Be that as it may...I wouldn't hate to have grandbabies to spoil.

[She was still young enough to keep up with them; and being Winchesters, they'd need as many people able to keep up with them as possible.]

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Winchester children. They're hard to imagine.

*and she tries to imagine Dean when he's bitty. That look could be mistaken as wistful, though she's trying not to laugh at the image. Dean must've been a hellion*

[was_a_hunter]

[Taking a deep drink of her tea, she hummed softly in contentment. The girl knew how to make good tea.] Hard to imagine, but the sweetest little children you'll ever see.

Excitable and full of energy...but sweet.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

I would have liked to see that. *sadly, she didn't have to think very hard to guess what happened to turn them into who they were today*

Dean doesn't talk about his childhood much.

[was_a_hunter]

[Staring wistfully into her cup, she had a faint grin as she remembered how sweet he used to be...and still was in the right circumstances.]

That doesn't surprise me.

...He's a lot different from what I remember, but I can tell he's a very private person; especially where his life is concerned.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Very possessive of what he does have, though. It's not hard to see what he cares about.

[was_a_hunter]

That's what happens when you have to worry about losing everything you love and care about. You make sure your feelings are known...you never know when you'll have everything ripped away from you.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

*her smile fades. She can certainly understand that, though her own way of doing things was a little different.

After all, if you didn't have any attachments they couldn't take anything away from you, could they?*

It's a tough life.

*drinking tea in an attempt to keep from saying more*

[was_a_hunter]

Mm.

[Tough...that wasn't even the word for it. There was more than one reason she never wanted that for her boys, they shouldn't have had to deal with any of the hardships involved.]

I'm sorry...I don't think I ever caught your name.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Oh, how rude of me. I'm so sorry. I'm Bela.

[was_a_hunter]

Bela...

[Dean had never mentioned her, but...as soon as she saw him again, she'd be fixing that. How dare he have someone as lovely as her and not tell his own mother.]

I suppose I should say 'Welcome to the manor', but few people actually want to be here.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Believe me, the situation I was in? I'm only too happy to be somewhere else right. Even more of a bonus that Dean is here as well. *so she can make his life completely miserable for being such a dick*

[was_a_hunter]

That makes two of us then. [She wouldn't ask for details though. Whatever happened, Bela would tell her when and if she was ready.] That's right~. So...forgive my curiosity, but how long have you two been seeing each other?

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Oh...it must have been almost a year ago we met? Our...relationship was really rocky at first and we didn't see each other very often, but I helped him out on a case and found that I just couldn't stand to see him out of my life.

*yes, NOW she's doing it on purpose*

[was_a_hunter]

You don't know how happy I am to hear that.

[See this smile? Yeah. You did that Bela. She thought her boy was going to have to live his life alone...but he had a lovely woman like this the whole time.]

Are you two just dating or...is it more serious? [She really wants to hear that there are wedding bells in the future.]

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, nothing like that. I think he'd kill me if I even suggested the thought.

*she is so going to get it for this conversation later, she just knows it*

[was_a_hunter]

Nonsense. Dean would love to be with someone in a serious setting. Trust me.

[He just...might not know it yet. The way he reacted to losing those kids though...she knew he wanted to have a family.]

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Try telling him that. *eye roll* He's married to his car, after all.

[was_a_hunter]

So was his father...You just have to remind him why you're better than his car~.

[furtum-est-vita.livejournal.com]

Years of experience?

[was_a_hunter]

Years of necessity.

If John had his way, I think the car would have been sleeping in the bed instead of me.
