Hannah has been to some pretty dark places in her life - addiction, rehab, relapses, overdoses - but the most scared she's ever been is when she's holding her brand new baby daughter in her arms, about to bring her home.
All the demons she's tried to keep at bay rise up, whisper in her ear - she's not good enough, not strong enough, she's going to let this baby down, she doesn't know how to be a mother - and she tries to keep her breathing steady, under control, so as not to betray herself.
Then a hand lands on her shoulder, a soft voice at her ear, Dean's eyes gentle and understanding as he tells her, "Hey... we've got this," and there's such confidence in his tone, so much confidence in her that it's easy to believe him.
