Dean doesn't remember being this content in a really long time. They were in between cases, it was another one of those nondescript bars, the beer was chilled and he was already up $500 from hustling pool and the night wasn't over just yet.

But it wasn't the bar or the pool game the real reason behind his contentment. It was his dad and little brother sitting in a booth on his far left just within his earshot arguing over the uses of modern technology, a laptop to be more precise. Ah, it was like the good ole days.

The morning after slaying Luther and rescuing the colt, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't surprised that their dad had decided to stay and do things their way. They were stronger together as a family, he was wrong to have let his dad go after their encounter with Meg in Chicago, he realizes it now and he wasn't gonna make the same mistake. They left the place early in the morning, drove for hours straight, with no real case on hand and no new information on the YED as of now, finally decided to stop for the night. Found a motel and then a bar coz hell he'd been starving.

Dean was up for another game. Man, the guy was a douche, thinking he could really beat Dean this next time. It would have been another easy $200 when something caught his attention. He heard his dad and Sammy laughing out loud. He hadn't heard his little brother giggle like that nor his dad give that hearty chuckle in a while. Yes, it had been a really long time. Sammy had been trying to get their father to learn to use a laptop and the 21st century internet search engines for research. Needless to say the conversation had become heated, both of them were stubborn bastards. Looking over at their table now things seem to have taken a surprising turn, the pile of empty beer bottles at the table could explain why. A fond smile escaped his lips before he caught himself and feigned a sign. Letting the game go he trudged back to his family.

"Dad, did you forget Sammy's a total light weight! How much did you get him to drink?" said Dean trying to sound exasperated but not entirely pulling it off.

"I'm not! You'rrrr a light weight." slurred Sammy trying to look indignant but only managing to look like a pouting 5 year old. Dean rolled his eyes and gave 'see that' look to his dad.

Dad just shook his head, smiled and said, " C'mon Dean let him grow up."

"What? What does that mean...never mind.." "Dad, how much did you drink?"

Dad just shook his head and smiled some more.

"All right, time to call it a night, lets head back to the motel."

"But Deeean I still haven't showed dad everything, there's there's a new online encyclopedia called Wikipedia! n n all those websites with information on paranormal stuff, hisssstory..." Sam was counting it off on his fingers.

Dad," God I missed the little geek." slowly standing up.

Dean smiled," ya tell me about it.. c'mon Sasquatch." and bent to grab handfuls of Sammy's jacket while he was still narrating his top 5 websites and pulled him to his feet.

On his feet, once Sam found his equilibrium, he batted Dean's hand away, "I can walk man."

"fine"

"fine"

"cranky"

"jerrrk"

"bitch"

It was dad's turn to roll his eyes now, "boys!"

Dean's hand still hovered over Sammy's back though, just in case. He'd been a little worried about Sam since this morning, he's been looking a little pale, been sneezing too and hardly ate much through the day. But more than that, he's been a little quiet, like he's thinking about something. But then again when has his geeky brain not been in over drive! Nonetheless, he'd check him for fever once at the motel before sleeping.

The family made their way to the impala through the parking lot. Dean was glad they left dad's truck behind at the motel coz right now he's not too sure he'd want his dad driving too after all those beers no matter how well his dad can hold his liquor.

Dean slipped in behind the wheel, dad took the shotgun while Sammy crumpled himself into the back seat.
