Doya: "how's the married life?"

Doya: "how's the married life?"


The night before, Sarah Thomas called Oya, in the middle of the night. She needed to hear from her friend and to be comforted in the choice she'd made for her family and herself. Oya was taken aback by the call, especially since Sarah had always been the one who got her shit together. She was the one who left the Hunting life behind. She chose to have a family, twin daughters, and a wonderful husband. Still, Oya listened to her. She left the bed and walked towards the living room of the bunker for a heartfelt conversation with her childhood friend. It took a while to calm the blonde woman down but Oya managed to do so. She understood Sarah's doubts. After all her brother ended up disabled due to the injuries he sustained from his last hunt.  Still, Joshua knew the risks. He knew he could die on the job, or worse... and worse happened but he survived and he managed to overcome the situation. Yes, He was now in a wheelchair but that didn't stop him. He got married and now Jessica, his wife, is expecting their first child. He's still a hunter, helping others through the use of the radio.  Sarah would be fine. Sarah understood. 


"How's the married life, O?"


The question came out of nowhere but it pleased Oya. The last time they talked about it was years ago, when Dean was just a friend and partner. When they had fun from time to time without going for something very serious. Oh, it had been quite an evolution after such a while, so much so that now she married the guy. It didn't change their lives, although administratively it did. She could be called Mrs. Winchester now! She could now look after him better without having to wait for Sammy. But more importantly, it was to let the world know that she was his and she loved him dearly. Oya loved it. She loved being married and she loved the fact their lives were still the same, if not more exciting now.  


Oya gushed about feeling comfortable with Dean, about them going back to work. She talked about her apple pie life, filled with cases to work, burgers, motels, and Team Free Will.  Sarah teased her friend and Oya laughed. it was a hearty one that made her wipe some tears out of her eyes and rest her forehead against her knees. How was married life?  It was bliss. Sure, today the duo had to investigate something happening in Florida. She had to wear a swimsuit and enjoy the swimming pool of their motel for a few days.  She grabbed her phone to snap a picture for Dean. It was a way for her to make him drive back to their hotel room. She loved to do it, to drive him crazy and increase his blood pressure. Did it work? Oh yes, it did.
