Rowan and Wyatt.

No place like home for Yuletide cheer.

I believe my inability to communicate when I need help is inherited from my father. It makes me feel like a burden and I simply refuse to be a burden to our family.

Which is why Wyatt Jude is a Barlowe and not a Winchester.

That stung.

Jashawn.. your hand doesn't count.

Obviously not considering I have children..

Smirks. "I may have inherited some fun traits from Mama.. transporting is a lot of fun. Especially when Wyatt can do it as well."

The documents he was holding in his hands flew behind him as he was startled by someone calling his name. "Nuahh, Yes?" He turns to see that it was only Willow. "How did you...?"

JUDE!

I am so sore and tired.

MAMA! You have a grandson!

Sure you are!

"I'm sure it will. He loves you, you are his son too after all."

"It probably won't mean much coming from me, but I'm proud of his growth."

"Maybe. I'm not sure."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"The best way I could describe it is that he is more confident."

Well.. I have a son. You have a nephew!

"I do too. It's different, I don't really know how to describe it."

"I think mama still has love for him, and always will. I mean, they were together for ten years. I hope he does. I like this new side of him."

I'm okay. How are you?

Hello, Wes.

The law.

"He's missed everyone too. He still loves Mama. I'm glad he's back too though, maybe he will stay a while."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"That's... actually really sweet. I've missed seeing him around, you know. I'm glad he is back, even if it's like this. It's like everyone is slowly coming back together and I love it."

"He did. If you ever hear of a group called The Fallen, that's papa. After his favorite fallen angel. The old sap."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"He learned from mama, didn't he?"

"They are safe. It's a whole new way of handling things."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"I figured he would. It's always been his coping mechanism. I just hope none of our friends start disappearing."

"Probably taking time to process. That's what dad did and then he started hunting again.."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"I'm sure Wy will eventually pop up again. As for Rose, it was like she dropped off the face of the earth."

"That's depressing. I hope that they're both okay."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"I haven't seen Wy in a few months. I think he made another trip to hell... I also haven't heard from Rose since mama and Draven's divorce. Wes, JD, and now you are the only ones that are still around."

"And Wyatt and Rose. It'll be fun."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"Maybe we can get Wes to come with us?"

"I don't see why we couldn't. I've never taken them trick or treating.. it'll be a nice experience for them."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"You're gonna make me cry, Wills. This is so awesome! Please, please, can we take all the kids trick or treating together this year? Pleeeeease."

"There's a reason his middle name is the same as your name."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"He... Was born on my birthday?" He definitely isn't giving the 🥹 face.

And if you're my brother... That makes him another brother of mine.

Jashawn?

"I can't believe she's already three. He is two. He turns three on Halloween. My spooky boy."

JUDE MERCER@saintofsins.bsky.social · last yr.

"She and Lilly will get along well then. She's five. Nel just turned three and will be going to preschool next month. You know, I can't blame either of you. I hated it too. How old is your boy?"
