The sun was bright and warm on her skin. Walking along the street with Johnathan's small hand in hers. "Our last day on vacation." Alex smiled at Johnathan.
"It's too bad." Dean said as he held Johnathan's right hand, walking with them to find something to eat.
"Yeah, it is too bad. At least it's a nice day."
It broke Alex's heart that it was the last day for their vacation, really they only had a few hours left in their vacation. Since they lived so far away they had to make it back for Alex to go to work and Johnathan to be at daycare.
"That is a huge milkshake." Alex smiled at Johnathan as the waitress sat the tall glass in front of him.
"Don't worry buddy, I'll help you finish it." Dean smiled at Johnathan.
"Daddy's a pig, Mama." Johnathan peeked around the glass to smiled at his mother.
"I know!" She laughed.
"You're both mean." Dean smiled at Alex. "But I still love you both."
"Well, I love you." Alex smiled.
"I love you, Daddy." Johnathan smiled at Dean.
This kind of moment is what Dean was hoping to make up for. Just sharing a lunch in a small diner with his son and wife. Sometimes having a life that's far from normal killed Dean. He wanted to walk away from it all just to give his family the life he knew they deserved. At the same time he knew he couldn't do that because that would mean giving up on his brother.
They spent the afternoon walking the small seaside town. Johnathan spent his time trying to talk his parents into buying anything he found.
"Ready for the long ride home?" Dean asked Johnathan as he snapped him into his safety seat.
"No."
Dean smiled. "I'm not either, but we have to go home."
"Everything is out of the room." Alex said as she got into the passengers seat. "Ready?" She asked as she looked over the seat.
"Yeah." Johnathan smiled at Alex.
Dean shut the door and got into the drivers seat.
Alex was enjoying the very short vacation, and felt bad that it was her fault they had to head home already. She was hoping soon they'd be able to take another vacation, a longer vacation.
Vacation was time for Alex, Dean and Johnathan to reconnect as a family. It was time for Alex and Dean to reconnect as a couple. It was a surprise to Alex that Dean didn't receive any calls or messages from Sam, it made her see that he actually did respect this family time they needed.
