AN; I own nothing but the plot. My beta was Matchmaker131 thank you so much. :D RR

Current Day--

"Dean, can you take them to the store with you?" Mary asked on an early Sunday morning as she cleaned the kitchen.

"I need some groceries any way," Dean said as he went toward the back door, "sure, does Sam want to come too?" he asked grabbing his keys and jacket.

"He's is outside with Rachel and Hunter," she said.

Rachel and Hunter were Dean's children with his ex-girlfriend. He became a father when he was fifteen thanks to his wild ways. It was something that allowed the young man to grow up fast in many ways.

Dean grabbed the store list and money before going outside, "hey, you three won't to come with me?" he asked.

"Sure, why not," Sam said, "let me get my wallet and I'll be out,"

Dean went over to the van, though he hated driving his mother's vehicle, but with groceries to get plus few things extra it wouldn't all fit in the Impala.

---

After a stop at a friend of Dean's house to pick up parts for John's truck, they hit the local supermarket. Dean divided up the list between the four of them, "Sam, you get this list," he said tearing the paper so there were eight or nine items on it.

"Hunter, you and Rachel go get these items," he tore the paper into three more parts giving them one paper each, "stay together though. I'll get all this," they split up going their separate ways with directions to meet in the electronic section.

Rachel and Hunter had fifteen things on the list, but it was all in the first three aisles so they finished quick and went to the electronics area to look around. Sam had the six grocery aisles after that and couple things in the kids section for their younger siblings. Dean picked up items from the automotive section of the store, he was glad the store was like a knock off of a Wal-Mart. They still had to go to the small hunting store few miles away to get the ammo that was on the list but it took less time either way. They met up like planned fifteen minutes after getting their assigned items to put it all in one buggy.

"Okay, mom wants us to get these movies and CD's spread out," Dean said as he handed Sam the list, "you two look around and see if they have any good movies that new releases too," he told him.

--

An hour after they went in the store they came out with two carts full. "Dean, dad said next time that we were out we needed to go to the hunting store didn't he?" Sam asked as they put the groceries in the van.

"Yeah, you three can stay in the car, I'm the only one that has a gun license anyways,"

"I got one," Hunter said,

"You have a hunting license, not a gun license you have to be my age to have that," he said with a smile at his son.

"Oh," he said getting in the van, "you think we can stop at the book store, Rachel wanted a book, but didn't want to tell you about it,"

"Hunter, I said I could wait," Rachel said sliding down in the seat, "he doesn't have the money."

Rachel crossed her arms over her chest as she leaned back in the seat.

"I'll think about it," Dean said before closing the lift door on the van, "they been good for mom since I've been gone?" Dean asked Sam.

"Yeah, they been too good, mom thinks they are up to something," Sam said, "if you don't get it I'll get the book for her, what are brothers for?" he said with a smile

"I got it, I just wanted to know if they have been behaving," Dean said before they got in the vehicle.

"Here's the deal, Sammy said you've been good for mom since I've been gone so, I'm giving you both twenty bucks, and Rachel I got it by hustling pool not anything bad," Dean said when she hesitated, because she hated if the money was earned through illegal means, "since the book store is closer we'll go there first, you got fifteen minutes okay."

"Thanks," Rachel said before she leaned over to hug him.

"Yeah yeah," Dean said with a smile, "did you want something too?" Dean asked his son.
"Can you save mine again, I am kind of saving for something, but I don't have enough yet," Hunter said with a bit of mystery in his young voice.

Rachel knew what her brother wanted, it was a game for their game boy, and it was almost twenty-nine dollars. "Tell you what; I can wait for the book, how about we go get the game?" Rachel asked Hunter, "But one of you has to come, we're only nine, they won't let us buy it, even with the fake id," she said with a grin at her father.

"Where is the game?" Dean asked looking from one kid to the other.

"It's at the game shop at the mall," Hunter answered as he began to have hope that they might actually get the game sometime soon.

--

Dean knew it was twenty minutes out the way to go to the mall, it was ten minutes in the opposite direction of the ammo stop they had to make, "I'll take you tomorrow after school," Dean offered, "I'll even pick you up few minutes early especially to do that, okay?"

Rachel and Hunter both agreed with smiles on their faces before they left the parking lot.

--

On the way back home after stopping at the shop they talked about school.

"I got an A on my test the other day," Rachel said, "Hunter helped me study,"

"That's great, how'd you do?" Dean asked his son.

"I missed one more question than she did, I got a B, but it's cool, I'm glad I got what I did," he said, "Can you look over my paper before I turn it in tomorrow?"

"I'd be glad to," Sam replied.

Rachel looked at Hunter, "Sam, we kind of wanted Dad to do it,"

Dean smiled, "Its cool, Sam can look at it if he wants."

"You sure about this," Hunter asked.

"Yeah, he double checks it sometimes for me, make sure I didn't miss anything," Dean confessed with a smirk at his brother.

They only nodded; they really wanted Dean to look at it, because it was about him after all, it was a surprise writing about their favorite person. They loved their Uncle Sam but their father was their hero. They drove in the driveway right before John pulled in behind them. It was almost six, which meant dinner would be ready by the time they got the groceries inside.

"I see you got everything," Mary said as they put the food in the bags in a line on the floor so she could continue preparations to get their dinner on the table.

"Hey mom, I think I'm going to move into the cabin next week, if you don't mind," Dean said while he placed a sack on the floor, "I think it's passed time for me to be more on my own."

"You're always welcome here, Dean," Mary said with a smile at her oldest child, he had been a really good son though at times she realized he may have –performed some duties out of guilt because of his past.

"I know, but, I'll still be around all the time."

"Okay, your dad can help Sam and you move down there," Mary said with a smile as the younger girls, Alyssa and Kalian came in to get the plates.

"Hey Dean," they said with laughs, before Dean grabbed a pony tail on each head.

"How'd you know Sam wanted to move too?" Dean asked as he grabbed a piece of fruit from the salad bowl to pop in his mouth.

--

"You two share a room Dean, the cabin has five rooms down there, we have fifteen people living in this house right now, come next month it'll be eighteen," Mary said as she logically while she considered the proposal she and John had known would come at any time. They had all but waited with their breaths held after Dean turned eighteen. It surprised them that he stayed with them up to this point.

Sam grinned as he walked in the kitchen with his nephew and niece behind him.

"That's why we want to move down there, we feel crowded, course I'm taking Hunter and Rachel too."

"I figured as much, they are your children," she said with a smile, "you're a grown up after all,"

"Mom, When Sam comes back this summer he'll be staying there."

"I guess you are twenty-four, actually," she sighed, "I just can't believe it,"

"I can't believe it just six years ago I graduated from high school, two years ago Sam left for college, come this May, Amber and Megan will be graduating too," Dean said as she leaned against the kitchen counter before Mary raised her eyebrows at him.

Mary smiled before Dean followed her out of the kitchen. The table comfortably seated thirteen people, but most the time Sam, Dean, Hunter and Rachel ate upstairs in their rooms or outside since they didn't have as much space.

"I talked to your grandmother we're moving down to the cabin next week," Dean told his daughter, when they arrived in the dining room.

"Thank god, we can all have our own room now," Rachel said, "not that I haven't had fun sharing a room with Hunter, I need space, I'm a girl for peat sakes,"

"I figured you'd be happy, there will be triplets born next month, you will be an aunt again. Besides we all need more space," Sam said with a smile on his face, "you sure you can do this by yourself though?" he asked Dean.

Rachel smiled at her uncle and her father, she thought her father did the best he could with what he had to work with. She wished he would find a nice woman and settled down though.

Dean looked over at Rachel and Hunter, "yeah, Sammy I got it," he said before they started eating

----

After dinner that night Dean checked over the kid's homework after the twins were asleep. He almost didn't make it to the chair when he realized that the paper was about him that Rachel had written. He blinked his eyes as he looked from the page to his sleeping children. He swallowed back the tears that threatened to fall on his cheeks. They really love me that much, he thought.

.....my father gives his everything for his family. He lets us have fun but he watches over us like an angel and does not want us to be hurt or hungry....... That was all Dean could take before he took the paper with him and left the room. He had to go outside before he began to blubber in earnest and someone heard him.

--

John and Mary talked in their room before they came to a decision. "I think that Dean will be okay down there, John, but I'm worried still,"

"Mary, he's been hunting since he was twelve,"

"I know, but John, he's never really been by himself with them,"

"How about we talk about the nursery that we have a month to finish?" he asked, "I decided not to hunt till they are born, I need to be here,"

The continued talking another hour before calling it a night.

Later that night, in the other part of the house, Dean and Sam were in watched a movie on the computer in their room since Rachel and Hunter had to go to school the next day. The brothers looked forward to having their own space at their family home.

Sam looked over at his brother after Dean told him about the paper, "You are a lucky SOB after all that has happened, you know that," Sam teased him.

Dean nodded, "Yeah I think I am."

The next morning, Dean gave the twins a big hug and fixed them their favorite breakfast, before he thanked Rachel for writing a nice paper.

Hunter blushed too because he had helped Rachel on some of the paper but he didn't tell his Dad. Rachel needed the attention from Dean. Hunter just enjoyed the atmosphere of fun that morning.
