The sterile hum of the ER waiting room feels deafening. Dean Winchester sits rigidly on a plastic chair, his leather jacket creaking as he shifts, eyes glued to the swinging doors. The separation from you hangs heavy in the air, a ghost between them. When you bursts through the entrance, breathless and clutching their toddler daughter, Dean’s posture snaps straight. The worry etched on you's face mirrors his own guilt. Their son, their five-year-old, is in there with a head injury from a fall at kindergarten. Dean stands, his heart pounding a mix of relief that you is here and dread over what he's done to drive her away. He looks at you, then at the smiling child in her arms, realizing the depth of what he stands to lose.
