62A/N Meredith's birthday is December 31st 1977 and Mary died in November 2 1983. That makes Mer 5 at the time right? Oh jeez my question is stupid but I just wanted to know if I am correct.
I didn't expect to get so much response on this story when I hadn't even posted the first real chapter yet! THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE – that's for everyone that favourited/alerted/read/reviewed.
Disclaimer: Anything Supernatural is not mine. Anything Mer, Piper or the twins is. They are my characters (all ones on photobucket are unless otherwise stated)
REVIEWERS I LOVE THEE!
Pickle Paige – thank you. Sorry my update took so long. Hopefully you'll stick with me.
Kissacazador – Ha awesome. I can't wait to see your response. Yes poor Dean, thank goodness he had his big sister Mer-bear to count on…that is until she left. Oh and you will not be finding out about why she left just yet…that's a big secret for now. And John well he just walked in stating the twins were their siblings. I didn't write that part but I did write Meredith and Dean's responses.

November 2nd 1983
Meredith -5
Dean - 4
Piper- 2
Sam - 6 months old.
"I don't wanna be the daddy." Dean protested.
"You have to." Meredith insisted. "Sammy and Pip are our babies."
"I don't wanna play this anymore." Dean whined.
"You have to."
"Mommy!" Dean called. "Mer-bear's being mean." Mary walked out of the kitchen with a sigh.
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"What's going on here?"
"I wanna play house but Dean's not listening."
"I don't wanna be the daddy, I wanna be the doggy."
"Nooo!" Mer cried. Dean pouted.
"Meredith why don't you let Dean be the dog." Mary suggested.
"No." Mer crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from him. Dean stared at her for a minute before picking up his bucket of army men and leaving the room.
"Meredith honey." Mary smiled. "How about you help me feed your siblings."
"Can I feed Sammy his bottle?" Meredith asked excitedly. She looked over at baby Sam in his little swing.
Mary smiled. "Sure."
"I love you mommy."
"I love you to sweetheart." Mary replied giving her a butterfly kiss on the check. Meredith returned the gesture. The door opened and John walked in.
"Mary I'm home."
"Daddy!" Dean cried rushing from the back room. John caught him and lifted him high in the air.
"Hey buddy." John replied affectionately. "Did you take care of the family while I was gone?"
"Yes sir." Dean nodded. Mary left the room to retrieve Piper.
"Daddy." Mer smiled running over.
John caught her up in his other arm and carried the both of them like bags of feed as he made his way to the couch. They were both giggling. John plopped down on the couch his children in his arms.
"Dada." Piper said.
They turned to see Mary helping Piper walk over to the couch. She lifted Piper on top of them. Mary smiled watching as John proceeded to tickle them and place kisses on their foreheads. It was that exact moment Mary snapped a picture that would become a favourite in the Winchester household. Sam started to cry in his swing.
"Sammy feels left out." John said.
"Sammy's hungry." Mary corrected.
"I wanna feed him!" Dean and Meredith cried.
"I already told Meredith she can," Mary said causing Dean to pout, "tomorrow is a new day Dean, there will be plenty of time for you to feed your little brother."
"Mom's right Dean." John nodded setting his kids on the floor. He made his way over to Sam.
"Go wash up for dinner." Mary ordered. Dean and Meredith picked up Piper. "Be careful with her." They made their way clumsily to the washroom.
"Hey Sammy." John smiled holding Sam in his arms.
Sam made gurgling noises and smiled up at his father. At dinner Meredith fed Sam but not before insisting they sing him 'Happy Birthday'. It was his six months birthday after all; he was halfway to being one.
Dean got to help fed Pip which appeased him for a while until Piper flung half her food onto Dean's head and was sent to bed. After dinner Meredith finally convinced Dean to play house with her.
"We have to take the baby to the doctor." Meredith said twisting the pearls around her neck. Dean looked confused for a minute.
"Why? Is Sammy sick?"
"No, Dean." Meredith sighed. "It's pretend."
"Oh."
"C'mon." Meredith pushed the baby carriage and they made their way into the living room.
"Well don't you two look fancy." Mary smiled.
Dean and Meredith were clad in John and Mary's old clothes. Meredith wore and old white dress, white gloves and pearls. Dean wore his dad's tie and dress shoes that were much too big for him.
"Will you be the doctor?" Meredith asked.
"Sure and Dad will be the nurse." Mary smirked. John scoffed while Dean giggled.
"Don't be sexist John." Mary said. John put his hands in surrender.
"I didn't say anything."
"You were thinking it." They all played doctor together, everyone except Piper who had gone to bed early for her previous behaviour.
"Oh look at the time; it's Sammy's bed time." Mary sighed lifting him out of the baby carriage.
"And it's yours too." John said. Dean and Mer gave identical 'awes'
It was late that night when Mary was awoken from her sleep by a strange noise. Everyone was tucked into bed. Meredith and Piper in one room, Dean in his own and Sammy in the nursery. But something seemed terribly amiss.
Mary looked the side and found John wasn't in bed. The noise sounded again. It was coming from the baby monitor. She got up heading into Sam's room. A figure stood in front of the crib.
"John?" Mary whispered. "Is he hungry?" John turned to the side motioning for Mary to be quiet.
"Shh."
"Alright, alright." Mary replied leaving.
Just as she was about to enter her bedroom the light at the end of the hall flickered. Mary walked over and tapped it with her finger, a look of confusion on her face. She was about to shrug it off when something stopped her cold.
There was a light coming from downstairs. She slowly made her way only to discover something terrible. John was asleep on the chair. Mary's eyes widened and she turned rushing back to the nursery.
"SAMMY!" she yelled. Mary entered the room. The man turned and she gasped. He had bright yellow eyes.
"Hello Mary."
"You."
John woke abruptly upon hearing Mary's cry of panic. He looked over at Piper who was wide awake beside him, she had taken a late nap and he had hoped her watching TV would make her tired.
"Dada." Piper smiled. "Yellow, yellow, yellow." John stared at her in confusion.
"MOMA!" Meredith screamed. Dean came running down the stairs.
"Daddy!" he sobbed. Smoke poured down from upstairs. John jumped up, picking Piper up with him. He handed her to Dean.
"Dean take your sister outside as fast as you can, don't look back. Now Dean! Go!" John ordered.
Dean didn't hesitate. He ran out the door tightly holding Piper to him. John ran up the stairs screaming their three names over and over again. He barged into the nursery to find Meredith sobbing with a crying Sam in her arms. The crib was on fire behind them.
"Meredith take Sammy outside!" John ordered. Meredith didn't move. "Meredith! Now!"
"What about mommy?" she asked eyes wide.
John looked and gasped at what he saw. Mary was on the ceiling, her stomach slit, her eyes wide with fear and a fire burning behind her.
"Go! Go! Go!" John yelled. Meredith ran out the door. John stared up at Mary tears in his eyes.
"MARY!"
He knew she was gone and that he had to go, for his children.
John ran out the door.

"Dad how could you?" Meredith sobbed.
"Accidents happen Meredith." John insisted.
"Accidents?" Dean questioned. "Dad we're not kids; we know how babies are made."
"How could you betray mom like that?" Meredith demanded.
John frowned. "I loved your mother more then anything in this world Meredith Winchester!"
"I'm disgusted with you." Mer said shaking her head.
"Meredith don't you dare talk to me like that again." John warned.
"But don't worry dad I'll still raise them for you because that's what I'm here for—we're here for." She pointed to Dean and herself.
"Feed them, bathe them and put them to bed." John ordered. "I'll be back tomorrow." Grabbing his duffel bag he slammed the door shut.
"Don't be so bitter." Dean snapped. "Dad's doing the best he can."
"Right." Mer said sadly. "Well his best sucks."
"What'd we do about them?" Dean asked trying to sound nonchalant about the whole situation when really it was irking him as much as it was Mer.
Meredith looked over her shoulder to where her knew found siblings sat, Piper and Sam were trying show them how to play poker. Ha—what a life they lived. Two five year olds playing poker.
"We raise them." Meredith replied obviously.
"Just seconds ago you were—"
"Look Dean, just because I'm mad at the situation does not mean I will take it out on them." Meredith insisted. "They're still our family—our baby siblings—family means everything, it's all we've got."
"I completely agree with you there Mer-bear." Dean nodded.
"Alright." Mer said. "Let's raise a little hell."
She gave Dean a wink who smirked in returned. They walked over to Adam and Aiden watching the poker lesson continued. Piper was grinning, she always loved little children, especially being a big sister and she just loved everything about it.
Meredith couldn't help but smile at Sam's bright face; he was so excited to have younger siblings. He always hated being the youngest. Sam was about to get a giant wake up call, being a big brother kinda sucked when you had to raise them yourself.
Now he would know exactly what Mer and Dean felt whenever he misbehaved. Meredith smirked to herself. Oh yes she thought this is gonna be fun.
Seven Years Later

Adam - 12
"Meredith what's going on?" Dean demanded. "Why you doing this?"
"Dean—I just, I have to leave okay—I can't explain you won't understand."
"Then make me!" Dean yelled slamming his hand angrily on the table. "Damn it Meredith tell me what's going on."
"I can't, I'm sorry."
"Yeah me too." Dean walked over to the front door and locked it.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm not letting you leave Meredith."
"Dean," Meredith sighed, "you can't stop me."
"You're leaving?" Aiden asked tears welled up in her eyes.
Meredith had almost forgotten her presence, she had been silently crying the whole time. Meredith had abruptly started to pack her bags when they arrived back at the motel. When Dean tried to ask her what she was doing.
Meredith's only reply was that she had to leave. Dean had been arguing with her about this notion for what seemed like to Aiden a lifetime. But so far Meredith's mind hadn't changed.
"Aiddy—"
"I can't believe you're doing this!" Aiden yelled. "You're wrecking everything!"
"Aiden-Marie I'm doing this for the good of this family." Meredith snapped without thinking.
"The good of the family?" Dean said in shock. "You've gone coo coo for coco puffs haven't you?" Meredith glared at him.
"What's good for this family is for you to stay Mer!" Aiden shot back. Meredith didn't say anything.
"You know she's right Meredith." Dean said.
"I've already lost one mother." Aiden whispered. "I can't loose you too." Dean put a hand on her shoulder and glared at Meredith.
"You see Mer," Dean said, "you're place is here." Meredith took a deep breathe.
"I'm sorry." Aiden and Dean were both in shock.
"I hate you!" Aiden yelled. She ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. Meredith blinked back tears. Dean was watching her every move.
"Is that what you wanted?" Dean demanded. "Hmm? You just broke you're little sisters heart."
"How could you think that?" Meredith yelled. "You think I want to leave her like this?"
"I don't know Meredith—I don't know what the hell's going on in that head of yours."
"Dean…" Meredith shook her head. "I'm sorry I really am, but I don't have a choice. Just know that I'm doing it for us."
"How the hell is this for 'us'?" Dean roared. "What's best for this family is that we all stick together!" Meredith picked up her bag and started towards the door. Dean clenched his jaw in annoyance.
"If you walk out that door—" Dean started. Meredith spun around angry.
"What Dean? What?" she snapped. "Don't come back?"
"When Dad find out he's gonna drag your ass back here and kill yeah."
"Then you'll be the one to bury me." Mer informed. Dean frowned. "I'm still leaving Dean."
"No you're not." Dean insisted.
"Dean don't make this anymore difficult then it has to be."
"Then don't leave!" Dean snapped. "Don't abandon this family."
"That's not—never mind." Mer said. "I already told you I can't explain it."
"Meredith don't go." Dean begged. Meredith stared at her little brother.
"I'll always be in your heart." Meredith insisted.
"Don't do that." Dean yelled. "Don't give me some sappy line and think it makes everything you're doing okay. Because it's not Meredith, none this is."
Meredith leaned in and swiped her lashes against his cheek, a butterfly kiss. Dean's mouth was open in shock as she walked out the door not once looking back. Dean stared at the door waiting for her to return but she never did; a single tear rolled down his cheek.
"Is she gone?" Aiden whispered. Dean wiped his face and saw her standing in the doorway. Aiden's own face was red and blotchy.
"Yeah," Dean nodded, "she's gone."
"How could she leave me?" Aiden sobbed. Dean quickly wrapped her in his arms. She was crying so hard she was shaking.
"Don't worry Aiddy, I'll never leave you." Dean assured.
"Promise me, Dean, promise me."
"I promise." The door opened. Sam, Adam and Piper walked in.
"Hey so..." Sam trailed off.
"I have a feeling we missed something big." Adam observed.
"Where's Meredith?" Piper asked worriedly. Sam and Adam looked around in alarm.
"Dean?" Sam said. "What's going on?"
"Meredith is gone." Dean whispered.
"What!" Sam yelled. Aiden started to cry harder. Adam rushed over to comfort her.
Piper was pacing back and forth pinching the bridge of her nose. "Okay everybody just calm down, I'm sure there's a way we can find the thing that got her."
"I mean gone as in left willingly Piper, not kidnapped."
"And you just let her walk out the door?" Sam demanded. "What the hell man?"
"Sam don't start." Dean warned.
"I can't believe you let her leave!" Sam yelled.
"Sam stop this isn't helping." Piper said.
"Well call dad he'll fix this." Adam insisted.
Dean sighed. "Nothing can fix it." He closed his eyes remembering the butterfly kiss.
"What's that?" Dean asked confused.
"It's called a butterfly kiss." Meredith informed. "I'll show you." She leaned in and gave him one.
Dean giggled. "It tickles."
"Do you know what it means?" Meredith asked. Dean shook his head.
"It means goodbye."
Dean's eyes widened in fear. "Where you going Mer-bear?"
"Nowhere, silly." She ruffled his hair affectionately.
Dean smiled happy to hear his big sister would never leave his side.
Now
Meredith - 27
Dean - 26
Piper - 24
Sam - 22
Aiden- Marie - 17
Adam - 17
"Sammy dads missin' I really need your help on this one."
Sam sighed. "Yeah okay." he said. "I'll be there in a couple of hours."
"Thanks Sammy." Dean said.
Sam hung up without another word. Dean looked over at the twins who were sitting on the side of the road. One look at them and you could assume they were just regular kids but if you knew them you would know that Aiden and Adam were anything but.
Though Aiden-Marie looked like a fragile little girly girl she actually a fighter and a good one at that. Then there was Adam with his very own knife collection and his sick obsession with knowing all and anything supernatural related. Myths, legends, you name it the kid knew it. He watched as they played Mercy; Aiden always won. Dean walked over breaking up there game.
"What'd Sam say?" Adam asked.
"He's coming." Aiden smiled happily.
She hadn't seen Sam in a while, she missed her big brother, she missed not having someone to confide all her secrets in besides Adam that is. Then there was the others...she missed her, but Aiden stubborn as hell, would never admit it or forgive what she had done.
"What about..." Adam trailed off.
"I uh haven't called Piper yet…" Dean said. "And I got no lead on Meredith."
"Good." Aiden mumbled.
Dean pretended he didn't hear her say that because silently there was a part of him saying it too.
