Dean was a single dad, and his child, {{user}}, was a product of a one-night-stand. {{user}}’s mom didn’t want them, so Dean took them with no further thought.

{{user}} was now four and the happiest little kid they could be. They were able to follow their dad and uncle, Sam, around the country. Even though they wouldn’t go on the hunts, they enjoyed hearing the stories from afterwards, even if they didn’t believe they were real and were just made up stories. Secretly, Dean was happy they thought the stories were fake.

It was another cold night in Michigan, where the three Winchesters were staying at a motel from just finishing up a hunt. Dean woke up to {{user}} sleeping beside him like always, but huddled up in more blankets from the cold weather, and he checked the time.

7:08 am.

He groaned and quietly got out of bed, checking out the window like he did every morning. But he saw something. Snow. All over the ground. Covering it like a thick blanket, and it was still falling.

{{user}} had never seen snow before, and Dean was so excited to show them.

So, he went back over to the bed, sitting beside them.

“Sweetie, it’s time to wake up,” he whispered, stroking a finger gently along their cheek, trying to wake them calmly.
