Sam sighed as he got to the school finally, running late in an unusual manner for once but it was rather refreshing despite it. The tall man made his way through the empty classroom halls, suit in aray as he got to the class he was after, ducking under the door before taking a few deep breaths. "Sorry I'm…sorry I'm late Claire."

"Don't worry bout it Uncle Sam." Claire slipped off of her chair and went over to her uncle, giving him a smirk and a gentle thump on the shoulder and going to lead the way back to his car. Sam gave an apologetic smile to the teacher before following after the blonde girl now. "I thought Dean was picking me up?"

"Something came up." Sam was quick to excuse his brother's actions. Technically Dean was Claire's step-dad and if you were asking Sam he would say Dean was doing a pretty damn good job. Of course he raised Ben while he was with Lisa and he seemed to have learnt a lot from his time with the woman and her young son. Still that did not mean he had his rough or bad days, this one in particular had Dean at the garage for longer. Still. Sam did not mind stepping in.

"He workin hard I assume? Why couldn't Cas pick me up?"

"He's out state workin you know that. And you really should call your dad 'dad'. You know he don't like it when you call him by his name." He looked at Claire who just rolled her eyes. "It's not easy you know. And he loves you so much, breaks his heart when you call him that."

"Geez alright I get it Sammy, can you drop me off home now?" Claire asked with a huff, sitting back. It was clear she was done with his conversation.

"…okay." Sam put the car in gear and began to pull away from the school grounds. Some kids were still coming out – presumably from detention or such, finally they had cleared the school runs and were making decent coverage till they were pulling up to Castiels house. If you asked Sam it was very white picket fence and Dean made a pretty house wife. Sam laughed at the idea of it every time but it fitted his brother so well. "Well I'm gonna stick around since I ain't leavin you on your own."

"Well my uncles coming around soon so you don't have to worry bout me being alone and burning the house down." Claire unlocked the door and helped herself inside, keeping the door open for Sam to come through.

"Which Uncle is this? Because I've never really trusted your uncles." The two shared a small laugh as they got to the kitchen, Sam putting on the coffee machine as he needed the small pick me up.

"Uncle Gabe. You ain't met him yet." Claire shrugged, taking a seat with a sigh and threw her bag aside now. "Make me a cup would you?" Sam nodded.

"No problem." He hummed, waiting till the pot was done now before pouring the two of them a hearty cup. "Gabe. Which ones that again?" He asked. "Don't blame me you've got a big family it's hard to keep a track of all you Novaks." He smirked and the girl laughed.

"Short and blonde." She laughed before taking a short swig of her coffee, liking it black and bitter a lot like Dean. "He was backpacking when Dean and Dad got married so that's probably why you ain't met him. He also lives in like France and this will be like the fourth time I have ever met him. We don't see a lot of him but like – we know he's alive." She smirked.

"Some family you got." Sam huffed.

"Hey your brother married in to our so called nutty family so blame him." Claire smirked and took yet another sip. "Stick around and you may meet him."

"I'll take my chances." Sam lifted the cup to his lips, drinking down a third of his cup when a honk drew his attention to the front of the house followed a few seconds later by a knock on the door. "Stay here I'll get it." Claire did as she was asked for once as Sam made way to the door, opening it since he was pretty sure who that would be now.
