Chapter Three - Telegrams

Sam can't help but give a laugh at the couple. "Wooooo!"

Eileen was smiling and cheering. "Yay!"

Sam starts to applaud louder as Charlie throws the remaining petals over Dean and Cas.

Cas grins at Dean. "We got married."

He grins and winks at his angel. "Yeah we did."

"Mr. Winchester."

Dean gives a low laugh. "Mr. Winchester."

Claire can't stop smiling at them. "Now, aren't you two idiots glad I parent trapped you?"

Cas looks at her, amazed. "You did this? All this?"

Dean grins at her. "Sneaky, Claire Bear. Very sneaky."

Sam puts a hand on their shoulders. "Guys? Up the aisle. Go! We can chat later."

Cas is the first to respond. "Oh! Right."

Dean looks at his bother. "Hey, we're new at this thing."

He then takes Castiel's hand and walks with him back up the aisle.

Sam just looks on and laughs as he holds out his arm for Claire.

When they make it across the lawn Claire opens the door to the barn revealing the reception area.

The soft sounds of Kevin playing 'We Found Love' on his cello fill the air.

Cas gasps. "It's amazing."

Dean's eyes go wide. "Damn! Would you look at that?"

Clair beams at them. "Do you recognize it? It was a little more beaten up the last time."

Cas smiles at her. "I'd never forget it."

Dean looks around with realization. "Wait. Is this...this is our barn, isn't it?"

"Where we met, Dean. On Earth."

"It is!"

Claire rolled her eyes at them, "Come on guys. Let's grab drinks and find our tables."

Sam laughed and huged them from behind, "Congratulations you two! My brothers!"

Cas turned to him. "My brother. Always."

Dean teared up and huged Sam tight.

"Love you guys."

Cas answers, "Love you too, Sam,"

"Love you, Sammy." Dean takes a second, and then laughs at his brother. "This is why you said no strip bars last night, isn't it?"

"Well that and I hadn't checked to see which ones would be worth our time."

Charlie makes her way into the barn. "Whoa, this place looks amazing!"

Dean grabs Castiel's hand again, squeezes, and looks around in wonder.

Cas answers. "Look at all this! It's...us."

There are white fairy lights hanging from the rafters over the tables set with white table cloths and arrangement of flowers of blue and green to accent the place settings. In the back of the room is a fully stocked bar.

"This so very us."

Dean gets a little light headed and Sam steadies him. "You feeling ok? How about some water before drinking again. You guys have all night."

Eileen walks up to them smiling. Cas turns and hugs her. "I got married!"

She hugs him tight, "You sure did!"

Cas kisses her cheek,

Eileen smiles at him. "I love you Cas."

He signs to her, "Love you."

Cas looks over at Claire. "Just so proud of her."

Dean lets go of Castiel's hand and grabs Claire up in a huge hug. "You are the best, Claire Bear!"

Claire mumbles, "Thanks. You're hugging me real tight there."

Dean kisses her on the head and then let's go. "Sorry,"

Cas pieces it together. "All those weird questions make sense now."

Dean laughs. "The strange questions too."

As Jody looks on she shares proud look with Cas.

Cas offers Jody a hug. "You did great with your girls...um...young women."

Jody grins happily. "Thanks, Cas, but I think it's all her."

Eileen walks over next to Sam.

Sam puts an arm around her with a smile. "You look stunning."

She blushes and signs, "You're not so bad yourself handsome."

He smiles down at her.

Claire gets their attention. "Come on guys. I don't know about you all. But I'm hungry. Let's sit."

Dean looks over at Cas. "C'mon, angel. Let's go sit down."

"Yes...Husband."

Dean grins at that and kisses him again. "I like the way that sounds."

Cas squeezes his hand. "My husband."

Charlie comes up to Claire. "This is amazing!"

"I made sure everything was exactly the way Dean and Castiel would have if they planned it."

Patience smiles at Claire. "You really did a wonderful job with this."

"Thanks Patience. But if you didn't help me budget. I would never have been able to do this. So thank you."

Jody takes a seat between Alex and Patience.

Alex looks to her. "Honestly, this place looks stunning!"

Charlie sits down next to Alex.

Once everyone had found there table Sam stands, pickes up his knife from the place setting and lightly tapes his wine glass. The barn becomes very quiet. Dean looks up at his brother and smiles. The room fills with Kevin on his cello playing 'To Make You Feel My Love.'

On the table is a unity candle with two tapers. Set on a pillar the shape of two silver hearts, the unity candle is an omber of baby blue and white. In the blue at the bottom is a silver flowered design, with a silver moon and stars further up the candle. The tapers are on matching heart candle holders and have the same omber with flowers.

Sam takes a lighter out of his pocket. It has a riffle and the name Winchester engraved on it. Claire also stands from her seat on the other side of Cas. Sam lights the taper on his side, then hands Claire the lighter so she can light the one on hers. He begins to recite a protection blessing.

"His duobus unum, sicut hodie facti sunt animarum, ita et haec duo familias. Omnis incursio infernalis

servanda sint adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.

Potenti manu Dei sint in semitam iustitiae et erudivit in conspectu eorum.

sint in se invicem tempora dolore laborum tolerantiam consolarentur.

Sit autem exsultate simul laeta tempora, et bene est mirabilis ipse det intuitu consanguinitatis.

In hac die celebrationem digneris, te rogamus, audi nos."

("As these two souls have become one this day, so do these two families.

May they be guarded from every incursion of the infernal adversary, every legion, every congregation and diabolical sect.

May they be held in the Powerful Hand of God and guided on the righteous path set before them.

May they find in each other the strength to comfort one another in times of sorrowful trials.

May they rejoice together in joyful times and appreciate the glorious beauty of kinship.

On this day of celebration, we ask you, hear us.")

Cas grabs Dean's hand under the table. Sam takes Dean's arm as Claire takes Cas' and they have the couple stand then hand each groom a lit taper.

Dean looks toward Sam who motions toward the unity candle.

"You ready angel?"

"Yes my love."

Together Dean and Cas light the unity candle with their tapers. They then stand them back on the table. Claire smiles at them as she continues on.

'Soft mists embrace two golden flames,
Alone they search the night.
Two souls adrift in dreams of love,
They seek to claim the light.
The path is long from which they came,
But sure they are its right.
Two flames embrace in dreams of love,
Two Souls – Two Hearts Unite.'

(Unknown)

She then motions for Dean and Cas to blow out the tapers. They look at each other with a smile and squeeze each other's hand as the blow them out, leaving them as one with the unity candle. The happy couple shares a sweet kiss.

With that the guests start to move around the room stopping to congratulate Dean and Cas.

Everyone then begins to head to the spread of food and the bar.

Clair looks over to them. "Hey Dean. There's pie."

"Wedding pie? Awesome!"

"OMC! Sliders, fries and pie!" Jody laughs and loops arm through Claire's. "You thought of everything. Kiddo, this is amazing."

Mary joins them. "The reception is beautiful, Claire!"

"Thanks Mary. Are you ready for your speech? As soon as everyone is settled in and eating speeches will start and you're first."

"Yes. Well as ready as I can be."

"Perfect!"

Cas grabs a few things to plate up for Dean.

Claire grabs a small glass of wine and hands it to Patience. "Here, don't tell Jody."

Jody notices wine changing hands and sighs, then shrugs and smiles slightly holding up one finger.

Patience laughs and takes glass. "You're such a bad influence Claire."

"It's my middle name."

She goes and grabs a few shots placing them by her seat for later before walking around to Charlie. "So what did you think of the ceremony?"

"It was beautiful Claire! Well done on putting it all together!"

"Thanks Charlie. You're really cool. We should go hunting together sometime."

"Thanks Claire, you are too. I'd be happy to hunt with you!"

Claire smiles at her.

Dean finishes off his second slider and first beer.

Cas playfully steals one of his fries.

Sam signs to Eileen, "Want to grab some food?"

She signs back, "Yes."

He holds her hand and leads her to the buffet as she follows smiling.

Claire goes over to her sisters and motions toward Sam and Eileen. "If I plan another wedding. I hope it's theirs."

Alex smiles at Claire. "Oh yeah, definitely! They need to marry!"

Patience nods at Claire and smiles. "Yeah, that will probably be your next project."

"I'm thinking Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's frosting. Oh and Eileen loves chocolate covered strawberries. Wouldn't they be cute decorated like little tuxedos?"

Alex grabs her hand. "Claire I love you, but damn."

"What? First I parent trap my dad's, now my uncle and aunt."

Jody and Donna grab some whiskey at the bar and then stop by Chuck's chair. "It was a beautiful ceremony, very special!"

He smiles at them. "Thank you Jody. I'm glad you liked it."

Donna winks at him. "Oh yeah, some of your best writing."

"Um, okay. Would have thought the bestselling book of all time would be considered my best work, but we can go with this."

"I just mean this was so lively, Didn't feel like time was dragging at all."

Jody grabs her arm. "Okay let's just go over there before this gets any worse. See you Chuck."

Cas gets up to have a word with Chuck.

"Dad, I...I can't thank you enough. For setting me on this path...guiding us...supporting us."

Chuck hugs him. "Always son. I'm just glad you found someone special."

He hugs back. "He is, Dad. He really is. The ceremony was beautiful."

"I wanted to make it something you would never forget Cas."

"You did. Thank you. Just...thank you"

Chuck hugs Cas once again.

"Guess I should go back to my...husband." Cas chuckles. "So weird to say that."

"You'll get used to it."

Cas pats Chuck's back then snags a couple mini pies to bring back to Dean.

Eileen signs to Sam, "I am losing these shoes soon!"

He laughs with her.

Sam helps Eileen back to the table. "Those look so uncomfortable."

"Yeah but they match the dress..."

He signs, "Beautiful. Can I get you a drink?"

She signs back, "Please."

Sam kisses her temple and walks to the bar.

Clair watches on, "Yeah. Definitely planning their wedding soon."

Out of nowhere an emu comes running through the barn, stealing a pie.

Eileen jumps.

Cas is dumbfounded. "What the f-?"

Sam can't believe his eyes. "What the hell?"

Claire cusses as she runs to go yell at Jack. "Damnit Jack. I told you no Emus!"

Chuck is sure he couldn't have seen what the thought he just saw. "Was that an emu?"

Cas looks to Dean. "Our son...obviously."

"Of course. Wouldn't be a celebration without the odd Emu, would it?"

Jody, Sam and Eileen can't stop laughing.

Sam sits down next to Eileen, handing her a drink.

"Thanks honey."

Clair returns to her seat. "Sorry guys. No more emus."

Cas laughs. "A pie-stealing emu."

Dean tries to smooth the situation over. "It's fi...uh.. okay. Its okay, Claire. It was an emu after my own heart."

Cas grabs his hand. "Better get in line."

Dean kisses his cheek. "Thanks for the pie, babe."

They rest their heads together. "You're welcome, love."

Mary whispers to John, "I'm so nervous about this speech."

He kisses her cheek and whispers back, "Don't be. It will be fine."

Mary stands and taps her glass. The room goes quiet and turns their attention to her. She blushes, not used to the attention.

Eileen follows Sam's gaze.

"Ok...hello, everyone."

Jody and Sam smile at Mary when she stops and drinks the beer to try and calm her nerves.

Claire gives her two thumbs up,

"I'm not good at speaking in public, but here we go.

Thanks so much for coming to share in the joy and joining of Dean and Castiel.

Before I get started, I want to thank everyone -especially Claire - for making this wedding possible.

Their marriage brings back nostalgic memories of when John and I found out I was pregnant of our first child.

Dean's birth brought so much joy, peace and sense of belonging and it was the beginning of having a family coming true.

My mind goes back to when several times at night, I'd wake up and look into his beautiful, smiling eyes and be completely overwhelmed with a sense of wonder, joy and responsibility for my special child.

I wasn't around for a long time to raise Sam and you. I wasn't there to see you both grow, but I see you two became extraordinary human beings.

Today is the day to rejoice in knowing that my dreams for you have come true.

Today is the day to rejoice in knowing you are getting married to this beautiful man that I consider as a son, Castiel.

Castiel thanks a lot for being there for Dean and Sam all along. I love you and want to thank you for bringing out the best in him. I admire your sense of honesty, empathy and integrity and I trust that you are going to be an amazing husband and partner.

Today is a very special day for making memories and to celebrate your love for each other.

I know you have had your own relationship challenges already but I admire how your

collective sense of purpose and willingness to hold on has kept your hearts still ablaze with love's refining fire

That to me is very crucial to building a formidable marriage.

Marriage is a test of real love and you should expect both good and bad times, including some rough storms. Riding through these storms together, leaning on each other for strength and courage as allies, strengthens the marriage bonds. As long as you weather the storms together, your marriage will endure. No matter what, keep your sense of humor and you'll make it through these storms just fine, with love.

I wish you well and Chuck bless you."

Sam and Dean tear up at their mother's words.

Cas gets emotional. "Oh Mom..."

Dean takes Castiel's hand and holds it tight.

Charlie dabs at her eyes.

Cas stands to hug Mary. "I love you so much, Mom. Thank you."

Dean gets the next hug from her. "I love you, Ma."

"Love you guys too."

Chuck wipes a tear.

Eileen signs to Sam, "I'm so glad she's here."

He sings back, "Me too."

Sam stands and taps his glass. He clears his throat.

"Guess I'm supposed to say something as the best man so...wow. I never thought this day would actually happen. Getting to see my big brother so happy, seeing our best friend so happy. I uh, had a front row seat to watching these guys fall in love with each other. Man that was a slow burn!" He chuckles. "It went from just me and Dean facing the world to...to a real family. I mean, you guys have kids and we all grew into this amazing family. This...this is awesome. I couldn't imagine having a better brother, and brother-in-law."

Dean wipes his eyes and looks over towards Sam.

Sam raises his glass. "To Dean and Cas! May you get at least a little slice of the apple pie life."

Cas wipes eyes as the guests raise their glasses.

Claire laughs. "Judging by how much apple pie I got I think they are going to have a lot of apple pie. But I get the sentiment."

Cas looks up at Sam. "Thank you, Sam. You've been my brother for many years."

Dean leans over and gently touches his head to Castiel's who kisses his hunter's temple.

Sam smiles at them and sits. Eileen kisses his cheek.

Dean looks over at his brother. "Thanks, Sammy."

Mary and John smile at their sons.

Jody takes a drink. "Here here, Sam."

Claire stands up and takes a shot of Whiskey before raising a glass with wine in it.

Dean leans over to Cas and whispers. "That's our girl."

"Hunters, angel, demons, and assorted supernatural beings who I haven't killed yet, we are gathered here today against most our wills to celebrate the wedding of Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester. A very unlikely pairing that most of us have been placing bets on for the last ten years. By the way, Balthazar, you owe me a $100."

Chuck shakes his head.

Cas leans over to Dean and whispers, "Definitely our kid."

Balthazar shakes his head. "Sweetheart you won fair and square."

A hundred dollars appears in Claire's hands. "Thank you Balthazar."

Jody smiles and rolls her eyes.

Dean chuckles.

Clair picks up another shot of whiskey. "Now. To Dean and Castiel!"

She downs the whiskey, flips off the happy couple and sits back down.

Dean looks back to Cas. "Yep, definitely our kid."

Cas laughs and applauds. "That's our daughter."

Chuck doubles over laughing.

Dean shouts, "We love you too, Claire Bear!"

"I know you do Dean!"

Jody raises her glass, pauses uncertainly, and then tosses back all of it and mutters to Patience and Alex. "You see the gray, right? it's grayer than it was five minutes ago, isn't it?"

Claire laughs at Jody.

Chuck looks over at Jody. "Jody I can take care of that for you."

Jody winks at him. "Nah, thanks Chuck, I earned 'em,"

He winks back at her.

Sam taps on glass loudly with a knife over and over and grins looking at Cas and Dean.

His brother grins then leans over to kiss Cas. He rolls his eyes and leans in for a kiss from Dean.

Dean whispers, "Never get tired of that."

Cas whispers back, "Me either."

Eileen looks at Sam and smiles.

Jack stands up suddenly.

Dean turns to face Jack.

Cas smiles at his son.

"Hi. I'm Jack. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say but Claire said I had to. She's kind of bossy. But she also said that we were both lucky that Dean and Castiel chose us to be their kids, even before they got together. We are. It makes me happy to see them smiling at each other and...I have two dads! That's...awesome. Is that right, Dean? Um...so congratulations."

Jack sits back down slightly awkward.

Cas is so proud. "Aww...Jack, that's so sweet. Thank you son."

Dean looks over. "Thanks, kiddo. That was very awesome."

Claire raises her glass. "I am not bossy."

Chuck chimes in. "You sure about that Claire?"

Cas coughs and clears his throat.

Sam looks at her and laughs. "You really are Claire."

Dean chuckles.

Patience raises her glass and rolls her eyes at Claire. "Yes, you are."

Claire concedes. "Okay. Maybe a little bossy. But always with a purpose."

Jody smiles at her. "Screw 'em. You know God personally. Nobody can ever say you aren't purpose driven, Claire."

Dean looks over. "Wouldn't have it any other way, CB."

Cas pats her hand. "All part of why we love you, Claire."

Clair puts her hand over his. "Love you too Dad. Now shush. Eileen's turn."

Eileen blushes and stands.

Cas and Dean smile bright at Eileen.

Eileen takes a deep breath.

Sam reassuringly touches her arm.

Eileen begins signing. "I will be short and sweet for once. When I met this family they did nothing but bring me in with open arms. I am so very lucky to have witnessed their love for each other. Cheers guys. I love you."

Sam raises his glass.

Claire claps. "Short and sweet. It's perfect."

Dean signs to Eileen, "Love you, sis."

Cas signs to her "Love you forever dear sister."

Eileen blows a kiss to the happy couple.

Dean gives her a wink.

She smiles and sits,

Jody raises a re-filled glass.

Claire leans over. "Hey Mom. You've had more drinks than me. You doing okay?"

Jody laughs, "It's only my third. I'm good kiddo. I'm not going to have much more. Switching to Cranberry and Soda soon."

"Alright."

Dean looks over to see his brother with an arm around Eileen.

Sam signs, "You did great." He then kisses her.

Eileen holds his kiss a moment.

Dean was looking through the mail. "We got a letter from Eileen."

Sam gave him a questioning look. "Eileen?"

"She sent it four days ago. It went snail mail 'cause she thought that her phone and her computer were both hacked. She left Ireland because she was scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Well, after she accidentally killed that – that Brit douche Renny, she thought that the British Men of Letters were on her."

'I know they're following me, watching me. They tapped my phone. I found a microphone in my room. I hate to be all girly, but I could bunk with you guys for a few days until I sort this out?'

Dean looked at his brother. "You think the Brits were watching her?"

"Eileen says they were…"

"Then maybe they're the ones that killed her."

Gabriel stands up, "Ah, short and sweet, just like you Eileen." He then winks at her.

Dean's attention is brought back to the celebration.

He leans over and whispers, "I'm going to grab another pie. Want one, angel?"

Cas whispers, "Please. Thank you, baby."

Dean stands up and darts over to the pies, grabs a couple and hurries back to his seat.

He sets one down for Cas. "Here you go, babe."

The angel kisses him thanks.

Gabriel raises his Shirley Temple.

"My baby bro, all grown up. Didn't know you had it in you. Or is it the other way around? No judgment. Just glad to see you happy instead of so damn broody for a change. Deano! Always knew you'd be my brother-in-law someday. Not quite how I saw it happening." He winks at Sam. "Anyhoo...you two crazy kids deserve all the happiness and personal lubricant the world has to offer. Love you both!"

Cas blushes bright red. "Gabriel..."

Sam laughs, shaking his head.

Claire facepalms. "Dammit Uncle Shithead."

Chuck throws his hands up. "DUDE!"

Dean laughs loudly. "Love you too, Gabe!

Eileen grins and takes a bite of pie.

Cas looks back to his brother. "Thanks, Gabriel!"

Bobby stands up.

"Alright. Guess I'm supposed to say something being the so called uncle of the bride. Or groom. I don't know how this damn thing works. Anyway, proud of ya, son. Always thought you deserved to be happy, no matter who you decided to settle down with. And Cas is a good match for ya. Just as pig-headed and calls you on your bullshit. Took you two idjits long enough to figure it out. Glad you did. And thanks for bringing the kids around. A smartass and a nephilim. Only you two...Wish you the best."

Dean raises his glass to Bobby. "Thanks, Bobby. For everything."

Cas smiles at his husband then raises a glass to the man who raised his love. "Thank you, Bobby."

Sam was holding Bobby's seemingly lifeless body in the back of the van.

"Bobby? Bobby? Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on."

Dean looks back from behind the wheel. "Sam, is he dead?"

"I'm checking."

He feels Bobby's neck looking for a pulse.

"Is he dead?!"

"Just drive, Dean! Bobby!"

"You gotta talk to me, Sam!"

Dean shakes his head to clear the images then takes a drink and wipes a tear away.

Claire sighs in relief that someone actually had a normal speech, then glares at Gabe.

Sam taps glass again.

Cas smiles, leans over and kisses Dean.

Sam whoop whoops.

Dean shakes his head with a smile.

He licks his lips. "Mmm...pie kisses.

Things start to settle as people finish their meals.

Then, out of the crowd, by the 'villain' table Crowley stands up.

"Bollocks. Alright shut up! The lot of you! I'd like to say something to the lovely couple."

Jody facepalms. "Oh, geez, not him."

Cas rolls his eyes. "Ah hell..."

Claire whispers, "I'm sorry. He's known you guys for forever and he threatened to disembowel me if I didn't invite him."

Dean watches Crowley carefully.

Chuck considers smiting him.

Dean sighs. "It's fine. Let him speak his piece."

Mary whispers to John, "If Crowley does something to hurt my family, I will punch him."

Crowley continues. "IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME! All the eye-fucking and sexual tension. Years! Will they or won't they? There. I said it. I've shipped this ship harder than any of you except maybe the long suffering moose. Castiel...that man is faithful to a fault. Couldn't sway him my way for a minute. And Dean...always thought a right shag with Feathers would loosen you up a bit. Mazel Tov!"

Cas facepalms. "That was better than expected."

Dean puts his forehead to the table. "Ugh!"

Mary sighs in relief.

Chuck whispers under his breath, "Yep need to smite him."

Dean lifts his head back up, "Thanks, Crowley. I think."

Crowley drains his glass of whiskey then sits down to argue with his mother.

Jody shrugs and nods.

Sam shakes head and takes a drink.

Cas stands and clears his throat.

Claire and Dean look up at Cas.

"I'd like to say something. This...all of this was put together by my...now our, daughter Claire. It took a long time for us to get here, for us to know each other as father and daughter. She had every right to shut me out. But she didn't. We both thought we were alone until we met the Winchesters and fell under their care. I have a brother, a mom, and a husband. Claire has an uncle, a...pardon this Mom, grandmother, and another father. A brother in Jack. And Jody...you gave her a home, a mother, and sisters. This amazing young woman helped bring our family together and solidified it today. So thank you, Claire. For everything."

Claire's jaw drops.

Jody wipes at her eyes.

Sam raises his glass. "To Claire!"

Dean stands up and applauds, looking at her.

Claire looked incredibly awkward. "Uhhhh. You're welcome guys."

When Dean sits Cas squeezes knee under the table.

Chuck stands up, walks over to Cas and hugs him. "You really are such a good daddy Cas."

Dean almost chokes on his drink. When he recovers he whispers under his breath, "Oh if he only knew."

Cas hugs Chuck. "Thanks, Dad."

"Love you son."

"Love you too, Dad."

Sam signs to Eileen. "More to drink? I've run out with these speeches."

She nods, "Please."

Sam grins and takes their glasses.

Cas leans over to Dean and whispers, "Ready to dance my husband?"

Claire takes a shot and nods at Chuck letting him know it's time and the music starts.

Sam brings back 2 shots of tequila and 2 glasses of beer.

He takes a shot.

'It sure is good to see your smile
At the end of a long hard day
Life out there is easier to bear
When you look at me this way'

Dean whispers to his angel, "I can't wait, Husband mine."

Cas pulls him to the dance floor. "You lead."

Dean pulls him in close.

'I can't count the times
You dance through my mind'

Eileen takes a shot.

Sam grins at her then turns and watches Cas and Dean.

'I'm not really me
'Til I'm back in your arms again'

Cas looks deep into his hunter's eyes as they dance. "Seems surreal, beloved."

Dean moves him around the floor slowly.

Eileen smiles at them dancing.

'It will be all right
When you hold me tight
And you lay your heart next to mine'

Cas lays his head on Dean's shoulder.

Claire looks at the couple and smiles.

'And every dream
In my mind
Comes alive every night, every time'

Dean whispers in Cas' ear, "You are the sexiest man I have ever seen. I can't wait to get you alone. Can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of what I would like to do with you. Tonight I'm yours. I give you total control."

Cas smiles a wicked grin at him.

As the song changes Chuck comes over the see if he can cut in. "May I have this dance Cas?"

"Of course, Dad."

Dean nods at him and kisses Cas and goes back and takes his seat.

'I wish that I had all the answers
And I could walk you down your road
For all the times those times you feel like you don't matter
There's just one thing you gotta know'

Chuck smiles at Cas, "I'm so happy for you son."

"This means so much to me."

Dean smiles at Cas and Chuck then flags a waiter over and asks for a bottle of whiskey.

'One day I'll see you in the future
You'll have a family of your own
I will be there, I will be there to be your teacher
You better believe, you better believe you're not alone'

Chuck continues to lead Cas across the floor. "You two really are perfect for each other."

"Anything to do with that, Dad?"

Claire smiles watching everything and swaying to the music.

'It's true that nothing lasts forever
We all become a memory
But I know, I know one day we'll be together
Together again, you better believe, you better believe'

Chuck gives a low laugh. "I plead the fifth on that one."

"Or are we just a couple stubborn assbutts?"

"Well I didn't want to say anything."

Cas laughs at his Dad.

'You better believe
You better believe
Even when you don't believe I won't be far'

Cas gives Chuck a hug as the song ends. "Thank you again, Dad."

"No problem Cas."

'Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better'

Dean stands and walks over to Mary. "May I have this dance, Ma?"

Cas tears up at the song.

Mary gets emotional over the song, "Yes, Dean."

'And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders'

Cas sips beer at table and watches them dance.

Dean gets misty eyed while dancing and sings along to the song.

Mary sheds a tear and sings along too.

'Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better'

Dean whispers, "I never forgot, Ma. I used to sing it to Sammy too." He kisses her cheek.

She hugs Dean, "I love you, son."

Tears start to fall down Sam's cheek.

'Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it

better, better, better, better, better... oh!'

Claire walks over to Castiel.

Cas wipes eyes, "Hey Claire."

"Hey Dad."

"I didn't embarrass you too much, did I?"

Claire laughs. "A bit. But thanks."

'Nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah, nah, nah nah,
Hey, Jude
Nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah, nah, nah nah,
Hey, Jude'

As the song ends Dean smiles down at Mary, "I love you, Ma."

Dean walks Mary back to her seat and gives her one more hug before taking his seat.

'She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days'

Clair holds out her hands to Cas. "Dad. Can I have this dance?"

Cas grins and stands. "Of course."

They take the floor and start to dance.

'He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape.
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name'

Claire looks up to Cas. "I chose this song for us. Chuck thought I was crazy. But you get it right?"

"Oh, Claire, I do. I really do."

'She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing's making sense
She's been chasing an answer, a sign lost in the abyss'

Jody lets the tears running freely.

Dean pours a shot of whiskey and slams it.

'She says, "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late.
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day."'

Claire chokes up. "I'm glad you came back into my life. I can't imagine where we would be if not."

"Sorry it took so long for us to get here. We somehow managed to get it all, didn't we?"

Mary dries the tears with a napkin and takes another beer.

'She's talking to angels,
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers,
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, yeah, in his arms, yeah
She's waiting for Superman...'

Claire smiles. "We did. I have two dads... Wow. If some of the people in my old church could see me now." She hugs Cas.

He smiles back at her, "If we have my Dad's blessing...nobody can judge us for who we love."

'...to lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love, oh, and flying through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
She's waiting for Superman'

Claire whispers, "I will deny it if you quote me, but I love you Dad."

"I love you too, Claire."

'Assassins' Tango' feels the air. Chuck walks over to Mary and offers his hand. "Should we show them how this is done?"

Mary smiles. "Sure, Chuck!"

He leads Mary to dance floor.

Claire sits down to watch them tango.

Chuck brought Mary into a close embrace then leaned her forward off her axis. Her leg dropped and he caught her as the recovered s, before catching her again to recover the step.

Cas "Wow."

Claire goes over to her sisters and Charlie. "This is going great. Also. I had no idea they knew how to dance like that."

Eileen slips her shoes off under the table and starts to rub up and down Sam's calf with a bare foot.

He reaches down and grabs it giving the foot a light squeeze.

"What do you think you are doing Ms. Leahy?"

She flashes him a wicked grin. "Why what do you mean Mr. Winchester."

"Don't start something you can't finish."

Mary leans forward into Chuck as she balances on one foot while he walks them forward in a tight circle.

Eileen whispers in Sam's ear. "What do you say we go find some place more private then?"

Sam grins, takes her hand and looks around before leading her to another room.

Eileen follows quietly.

Claire smirks at them going off to kiss in private.

Chuck dips Mary as the song ends.

She gives him a hug. "You're a very good dancer, Chuck."

"You too Mary. That was fun."

"Yes, it was."

Dean whistles and applauds.

Cas hugs Mary. "You looked amazing, Mom!"

She kisses his cheek. "Thank you son."

Dean laces his arm with Mary's and they walk back toward her seat.

Seeing Cas is alone Gabe decides to go talk with him.

"So Cassie, you ready for the big night?"

"That is really none of your business Gabriel."

"Okay, okay, just thought you might like a few pointers how to rock Deano's world, but that's cool."

Cas rolls his eyes. "Thanks, but I think I got this covered."

Out of the corner of his eye Gabriel watches as Rowena shamelessly flirts with Chuck. His father doesn't seem to mind the attention. It was when the witch pulls Chuck into a kiss that lasted way to long for his liking that Gabriel had had enough.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me."

Cas gave him a questioning look.

"Just watching a red headed bitch, I mean witch, trying to steal souls."

"What are you talking about Gabriel?"

Gabriel motions toward the display.

"Oh my. Well that's different."

"You got that right baby bro."

When Rowena leaves Chuck to go toward the bar Gabriel excused himself.

"Look Cas I'm gonna go talk to Dad. I'll find you and Dean later."

"That's fine. I need to go find my husband anyway. He's probably either at the bar, or getting pie."

Gabriel gave a low laugh as Cas turns to leave. He then crosses the room toward Chuck.

"Really, Dad? I score a hot redhead and you go macking on her?"

"Macking? Son she came onto me. We kind of have a history. World ending stuff. And this…" Chuck gestures to his face. "Super cute. I can't help it if your five minute romp is into me."

Gabriel huffed and sputters. "Five minutes?! I rocked her 300 year old world! Pshh. She could barely stand up after!"

"Because I lost my shoe, ya braggart!" Rowena countered. She'd come upon the conversation on her return from the bar. "Twas a good way to kill some time. Had a wee bit of fun, Gabriel." She booped his nose with a manicured nail. "Charles, see you for tea sometime?" She cooed.

"Love to, Rowena. Nice to have some stimulating adult conversation."

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "Stimulating adult conversation? Please."

Chuck narrowed his eyes at him. "Yes adult conversation. I know you don't like to act like an adult, but some of us do."

"Says the man who created the marmoset."

"Oh that's big talk from the angel who wanted to make rainbow butterfly unicorn kittens."

Rowena puts up a hand. "Boys please. Time and place. Now if you excuse me I need to go have a word with Fergus."

Chuck looks over at Gabriel. "I have something I have to do. Later?"

"Yeah, sure pop."

Cas and Dean return to their seats for a short break.

"Love you, my hunter."

Dean gives Castiel's leg a squeeze. "Love you, angel. This is a dream come true."

They share a soft, sweet kiss.

Dean picks up the bottle from the table and offers to pour. "Whiskey, Cas?"

"Thank you. Hmm...Angels Envy?"

"Of course." Dean pours him two fingers.

"They should all envy me."

Dean reconsiders and makes it four.

Chuck takes the stage with the band.

Cas looks up shocked. "Dad?"
