i liked it alot. good story

I loved this one..perfect closure for that gap of time. I couldn't understand how Bobby never mentioned losing his home and pretty much everything he owned in that explosion, but this is a perfect explanation of where is head was at..totally focused on his boys and getting them well. He really loves them...and I love him for that.

The boys love him, too.

But I still had the most important things:  the two Winchesters sitting and blinking at me, looking for all the world like little kids waiting for a grown-up to make everything all right.  I knew it would only last till Sam’s head cleared and Dean got his mouth back in gear, but for now, it made me feel, well…never mind. 

I’d never seen trust like that in Dean’s eyes.  Not towards anyone but his dad.  And even knowing it was the pain and the meds that was doing it, well, it still gave me a lump in my throat. 

This may have been drug induced..and we would never see it under their own steam, but this is how they feel about him. So glad you put that into words!!! 

I loved your explanation of his feelings when he found Dean...that touch on his cheek and the look on Bobby's face said it all. Glad you put his thoughts in my mind too. :))

Look forward to your next..keep writing and I'll keep reading. :))
Take care,
Jane

Oh, I love Bobby (I think anyone who's read my stories knows that...) But he was acting so un-Bobbyish here that I wanted to show that he was still Bobby underneath, and how much the boys mean to him, and vice versa!  

I'm so glad you liked this, Jane, and thanks for your encouragement!

There was so much time lost between their escape from hospital and the resumption of their lives in Rufus'cabin that your story makes plausible sense.  I'm especially pleased you mentioned Bobby's suddenly well-dressed arrival at the hospital and brusque handling of Dean.  It's something that baffled me at the time.  Bobby's house had been demolished. He'd lost everything, yet turned up in a suit at the hospital! But I'm glad you didn't try to explain the compound fracture that healed in just 3 weeks.  That would have been too much. Thanks for the story - especially from Bobby's POV.

Author's Response:

There were so many unexplained and OOC things in there that I needed to try to make it make sense, just for me.  And since most of the questions centered around Bobby (besides the clothes and the attitude, where was he the night before? Why didn't he answer his phone?) that the explanation had to come from him...even though I have the horrible feeling that leaving the blanks was on purpose, and we're going to be hit with an anvil soon.  *sigh*  Meanwhile, I wanted to be happy, so I managed to handwave away the other things, like the magically-healing leg and the easy way they made it out of the hospital without anyone questioning any of them (and other, more nitpicky things...)

Thanks so much for your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed this!
