Something about how the Alpha Shapeshifter transformed into Samuel C's body to do the BIG SCARY FIGHTING, into Sam W. to break down a door, but into Dean to cradle the baby and do some rescue-caretaking.
Perhaps even to soothe who the baby had already bonded with?
And he didn't kill Dean. He could've like he snapped Mark.
Which has always been interesting to me.
EDIT: Why DID it spare Dean? Even Sam? Anyone got ideas?

Deanās Forgotten Daughter: An Essay
For those unaware, Emma and Jack both exist in this human/monster hybrid space where physical age ā actual age. Yes both are physically in their late teens/young adults, but theyāve only lived a fraction of that time. The Amazon timeline is a nightmare to try and decipher, but Emma says āthree days ago I wasnāt even aliveā. So in less than three days, she was born within this system and likely didnāt spend any more than a day with Lydia before being handed off. Add another day for the ritualistic training and literally branding.
While Jack isnāt the point of this post, I think heās important to include as a baseline to compare to. Weāve seen how easy it was for Jack to be manipulated into fulfilling angel and demonsā agenda. But I have seen very few opinions that place blame with Jack, which is interesting because the situation isnāt far removed from Emmaās. In both cases, it is a matter of a few day old with limited understanding of themself or the world being manipulated into a bigger agenda. The only real difference is that Jack had adults in his corner to use as a point of reference. It isnāt entirely clear at what point Jack was self-conscious during Kellyās pregnancy, but Iād lean pretty early on. So by the time he was born, he has spent a minimum of a few months absorbing Kellyās voice, love, and positive influence. So by the time he is born, he has a strong sense of his mother and the love and morals she instilled in him.
Emmaās very brief relationship with Lydia on the other hand is drastically different. Their system is fast pace and doesnāt allow for sentiment, so even if Lydia did feel anything for her daughter, she wasnāt free to show it. Lydia was sent out with the single purpose of producing new generation of warriors, just as her mother had, and every generation that came before. So Emma only knows the system she was born into, where her entire life is already planned out for her.
Dipping into personal opinion a bit, but I feel like thereās a very distinct double standard when it comes to hybrid kids and how they are treated by the series and the fandom. Like many aspects of SPN, both as a series and a fanbase, male characters tend to be given much better ends than the female counterparts. When Sam and Dean stumble into Bobby-John, a baby shapeshifter, Dean is adamantly in defense of him. He is just a baby that canāt help what he is. Iām leaving Sam off this example because he was currently soulless and thus not an accurate reference of character. When Jack comes along, Dean is ultimately reacting from a place of grief. Yeah Jackās power is a raise for concern, but itās Casā death that drives Dean to go back into the house in search of him. Dean even explicitly tells Sam that he canāt look at Jack without being reminded of what he lost in the process.
Moving onto intent because the most common argument I see is āShe tried to kill Deanā. No. She was sent there with the intent to, but she never actually tried. The closest she comes to an attempt is pulling the knife, which leads to their little standoff. During that conversation, she even acknowledged the fact that neither of them have made an actual attempt against the other.
That argument is also incredibly stupid in the context of Supernatural. Attempts on Dean Winchesterās life has happened so many times that itās a canonical joke in the series. Just about every character in this show has at a minimum tried at least once, and majority of those examples conclude with Dean shrugging it off. No harm, no foul. Iām pretty sure a large reason Dean shrugs it off is due to his own self-hatred and the belief that he deserves it. But thatās for another rant on another day. The point is, nearly every character that has tried to kill Dean has lived to tell about it.
But I do want to talk about Emmaās interaction with Dean throughout that scene because I donāt believe it was entirely faked. I think there are clear points where she is repeating what sheās been told to say and there are comments that are clearly meant to hit the right nerve. But I donāt think she was entirely lying when she described her resentment of her situation and the adults around her. If I had been alive for 48 hours and had been subjected to half the things she was, Iād be a little angry too. I will admit which lines are genuine and which are rehearsed is a speculative gray area and ultimately we will never know the truth. But that applies to basically everything about Emma because the writers created and threw her out in the same episode but Iāll get to that later.
Moving onto more of the writing standpoint, I think she was completely wasted potential regardless of which way she went. Because I donāt believe that there was any scenario where Emma walked out that door and Dean went on with life like nothing happened. He outright shuts down the implication that he wouldnāt want her. Even struggling to wrap his head around this 3 day old teenager being his daughter and being rightfully wary of her intentions, he never allows the idea that he wouldnāt want her. So I donāt think Dean could ever let her walk away, at the very least not without him always wondering.
But I think the wasted potential is in the fact that the situation is ultimately skewed by the fact she is Deanās. So regardless of which side she ultimately chose, we could have potentially had a much bigger story to tell. The conflict could have lasted for much longer than the five minutes they gave her. And considering this is right in the middle of S7ās Leviathan storyline, I argue that it would have been a lot more interesting.
I also think it was a writing fumble because Samās indifference to Emma and what she represented is ridiculously out of character. Throughout most of the series, Sam was always the bleeding heart when it came to monsters. Especially in cases where the monster retained humanity, because he saw himself in them. He was once the prophesied monster, who multiple hunters (including his own father) saw as a threat that needed to be eliminated preemptively. And in particular I think Jack Montgomery from S4 is a good frame of comparison. Because Sam adamantly views Jack a human that doesnāt have to give in to the monster part. The episode is meant to be a clear parallel between Sam and Jack, but it also fits the mentioned theme of Sam being the one to sympathize or give them a chance.
If I didnāt know the episode takes place during S7, I would believe it happened during the souless!Sam arc. I mean, just look at the difference in expressions here
He shows absolutely zero emotion before or after pulling the trigger on Emma. Which Iād argue is very unlike Sam, both for the above sympathetic tendencies as well as the fact Sam takes losses harder. When he canāt talk the monster down and or they canāt be saved, he is visibly saddened by the fact. In many cases, he even takes it as a personal failure. Yet, when Dean does show visible discomfort about her death, Sam shuts him down with āShe wasnāt yourās, not reallyā. Which she was, and Dean says as much.
I also think this entire episode was a writing choice and a half because itās like none of this exists by the next episode. Absolutely nothing in this episode was resolved, nor did it have any plot significance for the future episodes. It just kind of exists to fill time. Which is insane because in one episode we are given a new monster of the week, which is exclusively female and operates in an eerily cult-like nature. And absolutely none of it is unpacked beyond this single episode. The only acknowledgement we get of this episode at all is a weird exchange between Sam and Dean which I included below:
SAM: I might have found something over in Kansas.
DEAN: All right, well, let's do it. But, uh, a few simple rules, okay? No babies. In fact, no baby mamas. No bars. No booze ā no hot chicks of any kind.
SAM: Wait, wait, wait. Did you just say ā
DEAN: Hey. You spawn a monster baby, see how quick you want to dive back in the pool.
And I think this exchange is where people get the impression that Dean didnāt care if he was comfortable to joke about it. But no one has ever claimed Dean has healthy coping skills, thatās actually a canonical joke in the series. So I donāt think the fact Dean joked about it proves or disproves his feelings. I personally believe he did care based on the above reaction image. But as I said before, we will never actually know because Emma and this entire plot line died with the episode.
This post has ended up being way longer than I was originally planning it to be, but I did say it was an essay.

Summary:What if Dean just kept every kid heās ever interacted with? A re-write of season 6 onwards in which Dean slowly collects every conceivable stray that crosses his path.
My thoughts: I followed this fic for a year and a half and man it's a doozy. The premise sounds like crack, but it does examine the effects of all the shit the Winchesters go through and all the kids they've encountered bc there's so many wow. It's such a good fic, and its so long.

two and a half men episode of all time forever had 30 minutes to draw and felt like doing a classic dean with baby screencap redraw
(babysitting Bobby John)
Soulless Sam, reading baby formula: shake well before feeding.
Sam: um.. alright.
Sam: *picks up Bobby John*
Dean: SAM NO, WAIT!!!
Imagine this:
It starts with Bobby John. Dean can't let the baby go, he reminds him too much of Sam, way back when Sam was this age, and Daddy was always sad (or drunk), and when Dean tried to speak the words got stuck, and he could not make a sound. He can't let the baby go, so he doesn't.
Over time, they gather more. Bobby John, Ben, Joe and Ryan, Emma, Alex, Krissy and Aiden and Josephine, Magda, Claire, Jack. They find Jesse again, 16 years old and alone and scared of himself. They find Charlie and Kevin, and even though they aren't quite their kids, they treat them with the same care.
Somewhere in between the always rising tide of children, they find the Bunker. It's perfect - dozens of rooms for everyone to spread out, to have their own space. Bobby doesn't die, but he does move to the bunker "To keep an eye on ya' idjits,ā. The modifications they make to the Bunker for his wheelchair are worth it to see the pride in his eyes. Linda Tran moves in, and she and Dean have an ongoing war over who's in control of the kitchen.
Of course, things aren't perfect. Chuck is still a problem, and eventually he must be dealt with. They win, but the cost is heavy. Cas and Jack are gone, and Dean... well he's as good as gone. He never leaves his room anymore, except to get a drink. Their dysfunctional family is mourning, both for those who they've lost and for themselves. Disappearing and coming back is much more traumatic than you'd expect.
Eventually, in an attempt to cheer him up, they convince him to go on a hunt. Just a small thing, a nest of vamps. They've killed a man and mutilated his wife, as well as taken their kids, two small boys. Someone (later, no one will remember exactly who) jokes that they can take in the boys. Sam and Dean leave, looking more cheerful than theyāve been in weeks.
They get the call a few hours later. Sam tells them over the phone, barely understandable through his tears, that Dean was hurt in the fight and that the doctors arenāt sure if heāll pull through. Using the variety of cars in the bunker, they break a handful of laws and probably the sound barrier on their way to the hospital. Bobby pulls Sam aside and he explains, in detail, what happened. They wait for hours before a doctor finally enters the waiting room, asking for the family of Dean Fletcher* (Millie Winchesterās maiden name).
Dean survives, barely. Recovery is an uphill battle, and the damage done to his spine, muscles, and nerves leave him wheelchair-bound and in near-constant pain. Eventually, heās able to move around for short periods of time using forearm crutches and leg braces, but itās only after a few years and a lot of physical therapy. At the very least, the Bunker needs no new changes to accommodate him, having been updated for Bobby ages ago.
A year passes. The two boys from the vamp hunt are moved into the Bunker after their mother succumbs to her injuries in the hospital, and quickly adjust and thrive in the new location. Sam and Eileen quit hunting, permanently. They move to town, only fifteen minutes away, and visit every Saturday for family dinner. When they get married, Sam Winchester becomes Sam Leahy. Jody retires, and moves her hoard to the Bunker. Theyāve got the room, after all. Donna follows not too long after. Miracle is officially trained as a service animal, to help Dean with his panic attacks.
One night, Dean canāt sleep. He hauls himself into his wheelchair and goes to the kitchen for a glass of water. He stops at the sight of three people sitting at the table.
The reunion is a tearful one. Dean cries from relief, and guilt, and of course the burning pain that rips through his back as a result of him temporarily forgetting he canāt stand and launching himself out of his chair. Cas also cries, sobbing apologies into Deanās hair from where they are curled on the floor. Jack, pressed between the two of them and both overwhelmed and overstimulated, can only beg for Deanās forgiveness. His dads wipe away his tears and press kisses to his cheeks, assuring him that he has nothing to apologize for.
The only one who doesnāt cry is Adam, sitting slightly stony faced at the table. Later, once the commotion of the reunion has died and Sam has been woken and summoned to the Bunker, the three sit down to chat.
Adam tells them that heās not angry anymore, and begs them to explain everything to him, starting from the beginning. He is especially curious about their father, and realizes through their stories that John badly mistreated them. Dean invites Adam to stay in the Bunker, but Adam declines. He says that thereās a lot he needs to do, but hesitantly suggests that they stay in touch. Their relationship is tentative at first, but eventually he becomes a permanent fixture in the family.
Cas and Jack are filled in on what they missed. Dean pulls them each aside and apologizes privately for the things he said and did before the end. He assures Jack that he is part of the family, and always will be. He tells him heās willing to be Jackās dad, if thatās what Jack wants. Jack enthusiastically agrees.
He canāt quite bring himself to say āI love youā to Cas, but he says something along the lines of āmaybe one day.ā He also implies to Cas that John was extremely homophobic, and the combination of that and the sexual trauma he has experienced through his life (getting money for food/rent as a teen, Hell, Lydia) makes him hesitant now to form romantic relationships. Cas, understanding as always, agrees and comments on how he has improved at opening up, to which Dean replies that there wasnāt much else to do when he was trapped in bed and couldnāt escape Sam and his relentless therapy-talks.
Jack tells them as a group that he has decided there doesnāt need to be a God, and has stepped down after reforming Heaven. He says that he used his power for the last time to bring back Castile and find Adam. He confesses to his parents that the power is not gone, and likely never will be. He also says that he would like to grow up as human as possible, and promptly shrinks to the size of a toddler, much to the bewildered amusement of his parents. They discover that he no longer has his memories, and Bobby suggests that they may come back when heās older, and that forgetting is his young mind's way of protecting itself.
As time passes, Cas and Dean open the Bunker to other hunters as a research facility and safe space to stay for a few nights. Neither of them hunt anymore, but they offer support and badly needed organization. With Charlie and Kevinās help, they set up a system like the one Sam originally had.
When Eileen and Sam announce they are expecting, Dean is ecstatic. When they reveal the baby is a boy and that they are naming him āDean IIā, he cries for a solid hour. Heās the first, outside of Sam and Eileen, to hold the baby, who he affectionately nicknames āJuniorā.
In the end, they are happy. They live together peacefully.
Would anyone be interested in reading this on ao3? I miiiight be planning to write this⦠also any suggestions/question/concerns are welcome! Also, if I missed any kiddos (canon only, please), feel free to tell me! Iām perfectly open to expanding their hoard.
Also, I cannot take complete credit for this story. Quite a few elements are inspired by foolondahill17ās stories, Dean Winchesterās half-way house for orphaned half-monsters (and humans), and the miracles āverse by the same author. Both are absolutely amazing stories, and I highly recommend.
*According to the Supernatural Wiki, Adam Glass wanted the actress Louise Fletcher to play Millie Winchester should she appear on screen.
