New Sister

Marlie-3

Sam- 18

Dean- 22

John and the boys were currently in Canton, Ohio. They had just wrapped up hunting a Wendigo, and were heading back to their apartment. Dean was in the shower, and Sam was working on some homework. John got a call from a number he vaguely recognized. He stepped out of the kitchen to take the call.

"Hello?"

"John Winchester?"

"Yes, this is him speaking. Who is calling?"

"My name is Megan Smith, calling from Social Services in Scarsdale, NY."

Oh, shit. John thought as the lady keep speaking.

"I'm calling about your daughter, Marlie. Her mother was just in a car accident, and passed away. If it is possible, we need you to come as soon as possible to figure things out with Marlie."

"Um, yeah sure. I'm in Ohio, I'll get there as soon as I can."

John hung up the phone, that is not what he expected. He knew it had to have something to do with Amanda, but a daughter? She never told him about a daughter! What is he going to do? He can't tell the boys about it yet.

John heard the boys talking in the kitchen, he decided to go talk with them and tell them he was taking off.

"Hey boys, listen. I just got a call, I'm going to go meet Caleb in New York for a quick job."

"Do you need me to come?" Dean asked.

"No, no. It'll be fine. I'll be gone a few days though. Don't do anything stupid, but have some fun, guys, okay?"

"Uhh, okay…"

"Alright, I am going to pack up and take off, it's about an eight-hour drive."

Sam immediately turned to Dean.

"That was weird. There is something he's not telling us."

"Sammy, just relax. Don't pick a fight with the guy. I'm sure it's something simple."

"Yeah, whatever, Dean."

"Alright, I'm headed out. Please don't cause much trouble while I'm gone. I'll call you when I get there."

"See ya, dad."

"Bye, dad."

When John got to Scarsdale, he started to freak out. How old is she? What does she look like? Is she even mine? She must be. Shit I can't raise a daughter, not like this. He pulled up to the police station, and built up the courage to go in.

"Hello, I'm John Winchester, I'm here for my daughter, Marlie."

"Ah, yes, back this way."

John took one look at her and thought you have got to be kidding me. She doesn't look more than three years old!

"John! It's nice to meet you, I am Megan. We spoke on the phone yesterday."

John stuck his hand to shake hers.

"It's nice to meet you as well."

"Well, this is Marlie. She is three."

"Hi, Marlie," John said bending down to her height.

"Hello," Marlie mumbled carefully eyeing the stranger.

"Marlie, this is your father. You're going to go with him for a while."

Marlie slowly looked him over as she nodded. John's heart melted at the sight of the little girl. She held a small stuffed elephant tight to her chest, and was holding onto the pants of the social worker.

"So, John, you are all set to take her?"

"Uh, yeah I guess, I am. Do you have all of important papers and stuff?"

"Yes, everything you need should be in this folder. Please, call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, ma'am. Are you ready Marlie?" John asked as he stuck out his hand for Marlie to take.

Marlie slowly nodded her head and reached out to grab his hand. John saw all of her belongings by the door, and grabbed them before heading out to the truck.

It was a quiet ride, not that the kid could really say much, she was only three, and had just lost her mom. John decided they should stop for food. He hadn't eaten anything since he left Ohio, and he was sure the little girl was hungry too. They pulled up to a small diner, and helped Marlie out of her car seat, he picked her up and they went and sat in a small booth inside.

"Marlie, what would you like to eat?"

Marlie shrugged, "I don't know what they have…"

John felt so stupid, he should have known, she obviously can't read. He read some options from the kid's menu. Finally, she picked macaroni and cheese, and he ordered her some milk. They got their food and pretty much ate in silence. He helped her out whenever she needed and by the end she had a mess on her face. He chuckled as he cleaned her up with some napkins. He paid the bill and they were soon on their way. They were about an hour out when John started to figure out what he was going to say to the boys. He decided to give Dean a call to let him know where he was.

"Hey, dad."

"Hey, Dean, I'm just calling to let you know I'm about an hour out. Is Sammy home?"

"Yeah he just got home from school."

"Okay, both of you stay home until I get there, and can you get dinner?"

"Yeah, is pizza okay?"

"That's perfect. See you soon, Dean."

"Alright, bye, Dad."

Man, he is acting so weird. Dean thought after he hung up the phone. He went into their room to check on Sam.

"Hey, dad's going to home in an hour. He wants us here when he gets in."

"Okay."

"And please don't pick a fight with the guy"

"I won't."

"Okay, I'm ordering pizza, what do you want?"

"I don't care."

"Okay, but don't complain," Dean called over his shoulder as he walked back into the kitchen.

John pulled up to the apartment and just sat there. He was not ready for what was about to happen. He had no idea how the boys would react. He looked in the rearview mirror back at his daughter and saw she was sleeping. Poor girl has been through so much already. After a minute, he got out and walked around to get his daughter. He sighed as he stood in front of the door, no going back now. He walked in the house and found his boys on the couch watching TV.

"Hello, boys,"

"Hey, dad, how was your-whoa, what?" Dean asked as he turned his head and saw a sleeping baby in his dad's arms.

Dean's reaction made Sam turn and look at his father as well. John saw the questioning looks in both his son's eyes, proceeded to tell them what happened.

"So, her name is Marlie, and she's our sister?"

"Yes, Sam."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Sam asked with an accusing tone. John knew a storm was brewing.

"I told you, I didn't know about her, until I got the call about her mother."

"And you're keeping her?"

"Of course, I am, Sam! She's family, and she's only three, I'm not going to put her in the system."

John looked at Dean who hadn't said a word the whole time.

"Dean?"

"I just can't believe it."

"I know, Dean, I ca- "

"No, dad, you don't understand. She's going to be my responsibility now. You're going to leave on a hunt, and I am going to be stuck babysitting her."

"Dean, that's not true."

"Yes, it is, and you know it…no, you know what? Fuck this."

"Dean don't leave, where are you going?"

"Out." Dean said as he slammed the door shut, waking up Marlie.

"Daddy?"

Sam turned when he heard the small voice. As much as he hated to admit it, she was adorable.

"It's okay, Marlie. Come on, why don't you wake up and we'll eat some dinner."

Marlie nodded, and noticed Sam standing across the room. John could see her eyeing him and introduced her.

"Marlie, this is Sammy. You're older brother."

"Hello," Marlie squeaked out as he approached her.

"Hi, Marlie. Do you like pizza?"

Marlie nodded as John and Sam walked into the kitchen to eat the pizza. John set Marlie down on a chair and quickly realized she was not tall enough. Sam grabbed plates and set them out. Once everything was out, John grabbed Marlie again and set her on his lap. Marlie couldn't take her eyes off of Sam the whole dinner. It made Sam a little uncomfortable, but he was okay with it. He understood this was all new for her. Just as they finished up, Dean walked into the house and went right to his room. John and Sam exchanged looks.

"I'll go talk to him, dad."

"Thanks, Sammy."

John decided this was a good time to get Marlie settled. He went out and grabbed her things and brought them inside up to his room. He then brought her into the bathroom and gave her a bath before changing her into pajamas and getting her ready for bed. Meanwhile, Sam was talking to Dean.

"Dean, it's not so bad. I'll be here to help, and dad seems different with her. And besides, she's adorable. You're going to love her!"

"Sammy, I just can't believe he decided to keep her. He knows nothing about little girls. He can't just send her out to run when he gets mad. It's a lot to take on, and it's all going to fall on me."

"Just give her a chance, Dean. It will all be okay."

"Fine."

Dean heard his dad and sister in the next room over, and decided it was time he meet her. He knocked on the door frame, and walked into the room. John and Marlie both looked over. John couldn't help but smile.

"Hi Marlie, I'm Dean, your big brother."

"Hi, Dean," Marlie said as she leaned into John.

"Those are some cool jammies you have on there," Dean said pointing out her princess pajamas.

Marlie smirked a little and put her finger in her mouth. She liked Dean. He seemed nice and funny. She couldn't wait to get to know him better.

Marlie let a yawn slip, and John decided it was time for her to go to bed. She had had a long couple of days and he was sure she was exhausted.

"Alright, kiddo, let's get you into bed."

"Okay, goodnight, Dean."

"Goodnight, squirt. I'll see you in the morning."

John and Marlie both smiled at the nickname Dean had called her. John tucked her in, and shut off the light and decided he should go to talk to the boys.

Dean and Sam were in the living talking about Marlie, when John joined them.

"She is a pretty cute kid…"

"Look, boys, Dean, I know you might not be happy with me right now. But I promise you, I'm not going to put this all on you."

"Yeah, dad, it's fine. I guess I was just surprised, and I didn't know how to deal. I'm glad you brought her here. I've always kind of wanted a sister."

"Good, I'm glad. Now even though she doesn't really know what is going on, we need to be sensitive around her. She just lost her mother, and she doesn't really fully understand that she's not coming back. So be careful what you say around her. Myself, and the social worker tried to explain it to her, but just be mindful, around her okay?"

"Yeah, we will."

"I'm going to clean some guns, and then hit the sack, I'm pretty tired. Goodnight, boys."

"Goodnight, dad."

A little while later, Dean and Sam both headed up to bed, both exhausted from the big news they had just received.
