powerful updates, love 'em! I was a bit worried there for Dean for a minute, seeing as how he knew, it was a toss up on whether or not Sam was going to blame him for keeping a secret that big, glad to see he soldiered right through that to understanding. I like that Dean doesn't hesitate when Sam's asking him if he's in or out, like it's a question? Cannot wait for the next chapter. And hey, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
