"C'mere, Dean," John called. "There's someone I want you to meet."
"Really? My baby…" Dean's face lit up in excitement, "he's here?"
John's laughter filled the room. "Your baby, huh, sport?"
"Where is he? Is he okay? Can I see him?" Dean scrambled up the side of the bed, wide eyes looking at Mary as he settled himself beside his mother. "Can I hold him, Mama? Please?"
Mary smiled and kissed his forehead. "Of course you can."
Dean's eye's widened in awe at the swaddled bundle that was laid in his arms.
"He's so small," Dean remarked quietly.
"I dunno, Tiger," John teased. "He may be bigger than you someday."
"Nuh uh," Dean affirmed. "Little brothers stay littler than big brothers. It's the rule." He gazed down at his new brother. "Isn't that right?"
"He's sleeping right now, sweetie."
"He'll wake up for me," Dean assured, "won'tcha, Sammy."
Dean cradled Sam closer, carefully grasping onto his hand.
"Gentle, now."
"I know, daddy…"
A tiny hand wrapped around Dean's thumb as hazel eyes blinked open and gazed up at him; small, pink lips breathed a sigh and Sam snuggled closer. "Nothin' bad's gonna happen to him as long as I'm around."
