I've always been so tempted to write a story where Mary had survived because I just think they would make one heck of a cute family. It's just hard to create a premise that isn't too hard to believe since most likely there would be no hunting evil involved lol. I think it would be fun to write though and I've def been curious about John's behavior had she lived. I can't wait to see how John deals with the boys though, I hope their torture isn't too prolonged =).
