Meeting Mom Cont.

Dean- 37

Sam- 33

Marlie-18

"Marlie woke up the next day and sighed when she remembered all of yesterday's events. She looked around her room longing to be back at school pretending that none of this happened. She promised Sam she would try to give Mary a chance, but she has no desire to do so. She's mad that her brothers think everything will be fine. Everything is going to change. Marlie made it this far without a mom, she really doesn't need one now.

After stewing for a few minutes, Marlie decided to pack up her stuff and head back early.

She walked into the kitchen to grab some food and then made her way to the main room. She was hoping to just leave a note, but her brothers were already in there.

They looked up at their little sister and were concerned when they saw her packed bag.

"I thought you weren't leaving until later," Dean said

"I need to get back, I have a lot of work to do."

"Well, why don't you do it here?"

"because I focus better at school."

"Oh yeah, a quiet bunker versus a loud, rowdy dorm. I'm sure you do,"

"Screw you, dean. You have no idea." Marlie said as she started towards the door, but Sam stopped her before she got there.

"Marlie, wait. We're just upset you're leaving now. We thought we could hang today like we talked about last night…"

"Yeah, well I changed my mind, and all Dean wants to do is fight, so I'm leaving."

"you know that's not true," Sam tried

Marlie looked at Dean to give him a chance.

"I'm sorry, Mar. I don't mean to pick fights. I just don't appreciate your attitude lately."

"Excuse me?! I haven't seen you for months, I come home because Sam has been kidnapped and tortured, and find out that your dead mother is alive now. You really expect me to be fine with all that?"

"I expect you to be understanding, not a little brat like you have been."

"I can't even believe you. I'm leaving, and don't you dare try to stop me, Sam."

Marlie stormed out of the bunker with tears in her eyes.

I can't even believe Dean, he's such a jerk. This was the first time I've seen him in months and all he does is yell. Marlie pulled out her phone and called Mark.

"Hey babe, what the hell happened to you this weekend?"

"So much…so much crazy shit. I don't even know where to start."

"Okay, well where are you now?"

"Walking to the bus station. I'll be back in a few hours. I can't wait to see you."

"Me neither…are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I need some time to think anyway." \"Okay, I'll see later, love you."

"Love you too."

Marlie smiled, she knew really got lucky with Mark.

What seemed like days later, Marlie was finally back at school. She stopped by the store to get some food then headed to her dorm. She opened the door and was glad to see Mark waiting in her room for her. She gave him a long hug and started to cry.

After she calmed down, she told Mark everything that had happened.

"I understand you're coming from and why you're upset. But Marlie, your brothers love you, and you love them, so maybe you should give Mary a chance."

"I guess you're right, I just feel like I already don't see them a lot, and I'm just scared she's going to replace me."

"Yeah but she's their mom, you're their sister. It's different, there's no way she's going to replace you."

"Yeah, I know…this is just so crazy, even for my family, and it pisses me off that they weren't even understanding of that. But I also do feel bad for storming out."

"Maybe you should call them. Now that you've calmed down, you can have a conversation with them. And they would probably like to know you made it back okay."

"Yeah, I'll go do that now."

Marlie picked up her phone and called Sam. She figured he'd be easier to talk to than Dean.

"Hey, Mar,"

"Hey Sam…I'm sorry for storming out earlier. This is just a lot, and I need time to process, and I couldn't do that with Dean yelling. I need you guys to be understanding that I need time."

"I understand, it's a lot for Dean and me too, we just want to help you."

"I get that, Sam. But I'm 18 years old now, I can work through this stuff on my own. This isn't me getting my mother back, it's your mother. I'm trying to figure out what this means for me and my place in all of this. I know you guys love me, but this is huge for you, especially Dean. You can't deny that things will be different. It's okay that things will be different, but I need to accept this on my own terms, not yours."

"Okay. I understand, we will give you the time and space to do that, just don't forget that we are here to help."

"I know you are, thank you. Is Dean there?"

"I'm here, Mar. I heard every word you said, I'm sorry for not being very understanding earlier. Like you said, this is a lot. But I'm here for you, always."

"Thanks, Dean. I love you both."

"We love you too, we'll you let you go. But I'm glad we talked."

"Me too, I'll talk to you soon."

"Bye, kiddo."

"Bye, guys."

"Marlie hung up the phone and sighed. She looked up at Mark and shook her head, "I can't even handle my family." She said as she started giggling. Mark looked at her like she was crazy. "So, it didn't go well?"

"No, it did. We're good, I guess. It's just sometimes I think about everything that has happened in my life. It's unbelievable."

"Hahaha, you are right about that, Marlie." Their laughing session turned into a make-out session, and then escalated even further…

They laid next to each other in silence for a few minutes when finally, Mark spoke up.

"Don't you ever wonder about having a mom?"

"Marlie thought for a minute, "I used to. Growing up with a father who didn't really care about anything other than hunting, and then having my brothers raise me…I longed for a mom. When Sam was gone for a year and we lived with Dean's girlfriend Lisa I was in heaven. I finally had another girl around, and life was normal. I always feel kind of guilty about it, but I was pretty upset when Sam came back and we went back on the road. Not that Sam came back of course, but I was kind of hoping Sam would settle down too."

"So, is it really so bad to have Mary back in the picture?"

"No, I guess not. I just don't want a mom. I've accepted the fact that I don't have one and I've made it this far just fine. I'm worried that Sam and Dean are going to think because they have their mom back, she can be my mom too. But the only mom I want is mine, and I can't have her. So, I don't know. I don't want to be a downer when this should be a happy time for my brothers."

"Well that's very noble of you, but your feelings matter too."

"Yeah, but I don't need to bother them with that. I worked out my issues with not having a mom without them, so I can just do it again."

"Now you have me…"

Marlie smiled at that comment, "you're right, I do have you. Now let's go make dinner." She gave him a kiss and then pulled him out of bed.

Despite the crazy weekend, Marlie knew she could get through this.

A/N: Wow, it has been awhile. I'm sorry, life got in the way, and I honestly had a little writer's block. I'm not too crazy about this chapter, but it has been so long, I wanted to post something. Thank you sjwmaw for telling me about the formating issue. I think I fixed it... :)
