A/N: Here is chapter 1!
(Again, this is un-beta'd so if you see something that needs changing, let me know and I'll get fixed right away.)
Enjoy!
6 months later…
Dean is sitting in his physical therapist's office, waiting for the all clear so he can find work. He's going out of his mind sitting at home, cleaning weapons, waiting for his husband to get home. His leg starts bouncing up and down in anticipation and he starts twirling his ring around his finger. He sighs in relief when the doctor finally enters the office.
Dr. Sullivan sits down at his desk and folds his hands in front of him, "Mr. Winchester I have some news for you. I know these past six months have been hell for you and I must say, you took everything that we threw at you in stride and you came through it. With that being said, you through with therapy and you are free to work."
Dean smiles at him, "Thank you so much Dr. Sullivan. You have no idea how happy this makes me." He gets up and shakes the doctor's hand and heads towards the door. He gets into the Impala and pulls out his phone. He immediately calls Cas. He waits for a bit and smiles when he hears Cas answer, "Hey baby. Yeah, I just left. No more therapy and I've been cleared to work. Yeah, I'll look when I get home. I love you too. Bye." He hangs up the phone and drives back to the house.
Sam is outside, working in the yard, when he hears the Impala pull in next door. He puts down his hedge clippers and wipes the sweat off his hands on the front of his jeans and walks over to meet his brother, "So, what did the doctor say?"
Dean can't keep the smile off his face, "I'm free! And I'm clear to start looking for a job, which I'm going to do now."
Sam smiles, "That's wonderful Dean! Ya know I saw some help wanted signs up at Carl's diner and Pat's Auto shop. Maybe you should start there."
Dean puts on his thinking face and shrugs, "Yeah, thanks Sammy. I'll go apply later. Right now, how bout we celebrate?"
Sam chuckles, "That sounds good. I think we've got some beer in the fridge." The both of them walk into the house and Dean is immediately bombarded with his nieces and nephew, "Uncle Dean!"
Dean smiles brightly at them and kneels down to give them a huge hug, "Hey guys! Have you been good for your dads?" They all nod their heads yes and Dean looks at them skeptically, "Are you sure? Cause I can smell a lie a mile away." All three of them scamper away giggling and Dean stands back up chuckling to himself.
Sam stands off to the side, watching his brother interact with his kids. He smiles at Dean and walks over to the fridge and pulls out two beers. He hands Dean his beer and pops off the cap, "So, when are you and Cas going to adopt?"
Dean practically chokes on his mouthful of beer, "Uh, w-what? You wanna run that by me one more time?"
Sam laughs at Dean's outburst, "What? It's a fair question dude."
Dean plops down into the kitchen chair, "I don't know Sam, I guess now's just not the right time. You know I haven't been in the best of moods lately and Cas has been the only one working; I'm going crazy just sitting at home and cleaning my weapons."
Lucifer walks into the kitchen and stands behind Sam, gently squeezing his shoulders, "And what's so wrong about being a stay-at-home dad?"
Dean takes another pull of his beer, "There's nothing wrong with it at all. I'm just saying I can't do it. I can't stay still like that, I have to constantly be doing something." He takes another pull and smirks at Lucifer, "Besides, we can't all have a high-powered lawyer husband and adopt three kids a month and a half after you get married."
Lucifer smirks right back, "Ooh, is that a hint of jealousy I detect in your voice, Dean-o?"
Dean smiles sarcastically back at him and takes another pull from his beer bottle. He places his empty bottle on the table and smiles sweetly at Lucifer, "Luci, would you be a dear and get me another beer?"
Sam's trying his best not to laugh at the look Lucifer is giving his brother. He tries to hide his smile behind his beer bottle as Lucifer grabs another one from the fridge. Sam grabs Luc's wrist before he can walk away and pulls him down into a sweet kiss, "Hey, you should go check on the kids. They've been way too quiet." Lucifer whispers something in Sam's ear that makes him blush and he smirks over at Dean.
Dean makes a disgusted face, "Dude, that's just gross! That is my brother!"
"That's what makes it more fun! I love to watch you squirm." He walks away laughing and Dean gives Sam his 'what-the-hell' face. Sam just shrugs and goes back to drinking his beer.
Dean pops the cap open on his bottle and takes a long pull, "So, how are things going at the office?"
Sam groans and leans back in his chair, "Oh God it's exhausting, but it's exciting. I've met some pretty cool people and they've taught me some tricks of the trade." Sam takes another sip of beer and then he remembered what he was going to ask him, "Oh, I almost forgot. I'm having some of my co-workers over next weekend for a cook-out and I want you and Cas there."
Dean pauses with his beer bottle half-way to his mouth and shrugs, "I'll have to ask Cas, but I don't see why not. I've gotta make sure he doesn't have any plans that weekend."
Sam nods, "Well, you guys can stop by at any time and if you can't make it, that's cool. It's not a big deal."
Dean nods, "Alright cool." He looks at his watch and sighs, "I better get home. Cas will be home soon and I got plans for our 'celebration'." He smirks and wiggles his eyebrows at Sam.
Sam scrunches his face up in disgust, "Dude gross! I'm gonna need brain bleach now."
Dean laughs as he stands up from the table, "Paybacks, little brother, are a bitch."
Sam scoffs and yells upstairs, "Kids! Come say good-bye to your uncle!"
Immediately, six pairs of feet come stomping down the stairs and towards the front door. All three kids throw themselves at Dean, hugging wherever they can reach, "Bye Uncle Dean!"
Dean bends down and wraps all three of them up in a hug, "See ya later kiddos." He stands back up and gives his brother a quick hug and a slap to the back, "Thanks for the beer Sammy. See ya later." He gives a slight wave to Lucifer and heads back to his place.
