Chapter 4
Ghosts Are Real?
The doctor had said that Adam was fine.
Adam.
His brother.
His youngest brother.
Sam was his little brother and Adam was his youngest brother.
He had two brothers.
Shaking his head, he paced outside the hospital.
His dad had lied to him. Had looked at him for twelve years and never said, never even hinted that there was another Winchester running around out there. His dad knew how much family meant to him, how dangerous this world could be, and he’d kept Adam a secret.
“Dean.”
Speak of the devil, he thought, turning his head to take in his dad. He looked tired, more tired then usual, which was saying something, considering the haggard, haunted look his dad had been sporting since Sammy left.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” John said, moving closer to him, eyes asking for forgiveness, something that Dean had only seen a couple of times before.
“But I don’t want him to have this life,” he continued, shaking his head. “I didn’t want any of my boys to have this life.”
Dean felt a disbelieving smile cross his face, shaking his head.
“He has his mom,” John said, leaning against the wall Dean was now leaning against. “And a home. A normal life.”
Dean felt his heart clench, as he remembered Sam’s words, one of the reasons he’d left. He understood why his father didn’t want Adam in this life, tagging along, never having a home. The only good thing about it would be that he got to know his brother, but if the kid had a chance at a normal life, with a loving mom, then he wanted that for him. Just like he did for Sammy.
“I wouldn’t have tried to bring him into this world, Dad,” he replied quietly, staring up at the starry sky, feeling an ache in his chest that his dad didn’t trust him enough to tell him. “I know what it’s like first hand growing up knowing that you should be afraid of the dark. But you still should have told me, he’s my brother …”
He trailed off, shaking his head again.
“I’m sorry, Dean,” John said, and Dean shut his eyes, nodding his head. “For everything.”
“I know,” he replied, knowing his dad wasn’t just talking about Adam anymore.
“Mister Winchester?”
Both men turned to see the young nurse standing a short distance from them.
“The doctor’s given Adam the all clear, he’s free to go,” she said, before turning and walking back inside.
Following her, Dean smiled when he saw Adam’s beaming face, the kid sitting on the side of the bed, legs swinging.
“She said I could go,” he said, clearly having inherited the Winchester’s hate of hospitals.
“That’s good, because we need to talk,” John said, giving Adam a look Dean had seen on many occasions, and meant that the younger boy had some explaining to do. Clearly, Adam knew the look too, if the slightly worried look that crossed his face was anything to go by.
“Okay,” the kid said, walking out of the hospital with a stoop to his shoulders.
Their dad waited until they made it back to the cars, before turning and crossing his arms, staring at Adam expectantly.
“Well?” John asked, one eyebrow rising. “Do you have an explanation, son?”
“I wanted to meet Dean and Sam,” Adam replied petulantly, crossing his arms. “And you wouldn’t tell me anything, and I knew you weren’t ever going to take me-”
“So you hid in the Impala?” John replied. “Do you have any idea how dangerous that could have been?”
“I thought you would drive home,” Adam said loudly. “How was I supposed to know that I’d wind up at some creepy shack? And what was with that ghost? Was it a ghost? What was it doing in that house? And where is Sam? Is he at home?”
Dean felt his heart clench at the last questions, leaning back against the Impala, sending his father a look that said he was on his own.
“Ghosts … are real, Adam,” John said, running a hand through his hair. “Many of the things that you hear in the stories are.”
“And, so what?” Adam asked. “You guys hunt them or something?”
Dean waited for his dad to respond, frowning when his dad just stared at Adam.
“You guys hunt them?” Adam asked, his voice going higher, and Dean could see the awe and excitement on his face. “Really?”
“Yeah, kid,” Dean replied, realizing his dad was obviously at a lost of what to say. “We do.”
“That is so cool,” Adam said, grinning at him, and Dean couldn’t help but grin back. “Can I come?”
“No.”
Dean wasn’t surprised to hear his dad speak up at the same time he did. If there was one thing they definitely agreed on, it was that Adam wouldn’t be in their lifestyle.
“Why not?” Adam asked, frowning.
“Because you have to finish school first,” Dean said, pouncing on the first idea that came to his head.
“Is that where Sam is?” Adam asked.
Looking away, Dean ran a hand over his face, before nodding.
“Something like that, kid,” he replied quietly.
“Oh,” Adam said, frowning as he looked thoughtful.
“And now,” John said, opening the door to his truck. “It’s time we took you home. Your mom was sent home after an incident at work, so she’ll be waiting for you.”
“No!” Adam replied loudly, shaking his head. “I didn’t even get a chance to talk to Dean.”
Dean couldn’t help but smile, the ache in his chest easing a little.
“I’m not arguing with you Adam Carey Milligan,” John said, voice hard.
“But it’s not fair!” Adam replied, reminding Dean of Sam, as he stood there, glaring at their dad, arms crossed and pout on his face.
“Life’s-”
“I’ll take him,” Dean interrupted, trying to stop the fight before it got too bad. “It’s not far, right? And you’ve got that research you need to be doing.”
John looked like he was about to argue, before nodding, the fight draining from him as fast as it had come.
“Fine, I’ll give you the address.”

A/N - So I know a lot of you expected Dean to be a little more pissed at John, but to me Dean forgives his family way too easily once the heat of the moment is over (seriously the stuff both John and Sam got away with on the show, don't get me wrong I love them both, but they weren't the best to Dean). As always let me know what you thought :).
