“Dean—“ John starts to reach out, forgetful, but his four-year old backs away just as always, pulling just out of his grasp—just out of his range of touch. Dean hasn’t willingly allowed John to so much as touch him in weeks. Giving his father one final look that conveys nothing and everything at the same time, the boy steps back toward his bed and climbs into it, pulling the covers up and turning away from John. John swallows, arm dropping to his side in defeat. He stares at Dean’s small form curled up on the bed for a long time. At some point, he dazedly stumbles over to the other bed in the room and drops down. His last thought before sleep takes him is of Sammy sleeping on in the crib in the corner, as oblivious to his father’s absence in the past hour as he was to the fact that his mother was gone forever and he would never get her back.
