I often wished we'd had a scene like this between Mary and Sam. Very well written, and it sounds exactly like something Sam would have said to her. :)

Thank you so much. This ep is one of my favs, but the one thing I really wanted to see was Mary realizing just how much her deal cost Sam. To have SOMEBODY say to him that they are sorry that he had to pay the price for other people's decisions.

'"...Don't give the demon what he wants. You'll have John, a great son, and the normal life you want...."

Mary interrupted, "But you'll have nothing."

"That's not a bad thing. It's better than what I have now."'

*gulp*

*hugs Sam*

*hugs you*

Great stuff!

[trinaaron]

Thank you. This episode killed me, and I'm glad that I could extend that just a little bit.

This made me so sad because I could hear Sam saying it.

[trinaaron]

It means so much to me that what I wrote sounds like Sam. Thanks a bunch.

So sad, but so very Sam.

I loved this episode but in terms of Mary meeting the boys, it never really got past her shock. Thanks for giving us a lovely, bittersweet what-might-have-been moment between Sam and him mom.

Thank you so much. I am loving all the stuffy noses people seem to be getting.

That´s exactly the conversation i wanted Sam to have with his mother. Poor Sammy!

[trinaaron]

Me too. I was kind of disappointed we didn't get to see something on screen, so I took it upon myself to do it. Thanks for reading.
