The Parent Trap…

(California)

Dean had never been alone, he always had Melissa with him, he never went anywhere with out her. Dean hated to admit that he was lonely, and when he was lonely he thought of one person. And right now he didn't want to think about him. He had finally gotten over Cas, well at least in his mind he had, but his heart was another story all together.

In the early years, when Melissa was a toddler and the marriage had been over for a year, Dean would wake and turn over to ask Cas something and then he would remember that he was gone, and the pain would start all over again.

To dull the pain of his broken marriage, he had started drinking, Sam had to help him with Melissa, his father had threatened to call Cas, telling his ex that he was drinking, he hadn't believed him, and when Cas had shown up, it had scared him that he was here to take Melissa back with him. So he had stopped and then became a model parent.

Of course he didn't speak to his father for a year after that. But thanks to Sam he had started back again.

Dean sat on his bed remembering the first time he had met Castiel Novak, fresh out of medical school. A typical nerd of course, they were in their early twenties, well he was at least, but Cas was already in his late twenties, Dean was set to follow in his father's footsteps, riding horses and training them. Breeding them of course was a must as well.

It wasn't love at first sight or anything; in fact they couldn't stand each other.

Dean had went to the hospital when he was thrown from his horse and landed on his back, slipped a disc and was laid up for two weeks, Cas was his doctor from the emergency room.

Dean had hated hospitals as his real mother had died in one and he had taken his hatred for that out on Castiel; his father had remarried and had another son with her named Adam.

Adam was attracted to Cas at first and they dated for a year before Dean had become such a presence in Cas's life that they had falling for each other. It was a passionate affair and Adam had ended up hating Dean for taking Cas away from him.

That affair had ended up with them getting married, and the wedding ended up with Adam coming in drunk and saying that Cas was supposed to be his and his brother was a son of a bitch and he hated this family. After that it was a great party…

To this day Adam still wouldn't be in the same room with him, he even disliked Melissa for what she stood for, after the divorce was final, Cas had called and told him that Adam was hanging around, and wouldn't leave him alone, and if he didn't do something he would. And Dean at that pointed didn't care about anything. He did hear that Raphael and Michael had a few words with Adam and that was that.

What had happened was of course his fault, Cas had wanted Dean to stay around the house with him, but he was too busy with the ranch, getting the house built and the stables to help Cas take care of the twins. And one night after a hard day, Dean went to a bar and got shit-faced and left with some woman. He was so drunk, that the next morning he had no memory of what had happened, so he had shrugged it off, nine months later she had shown up at his house with a boy in her arms. Cas had answered. And that was it, Cas had left him.

He couldn't really fault Lisa for what had happened, she didn't know about his marriage, but Cas wouldn't listen to him. Lisa had told Dean that she was sorry for ruining his marriage, that he would not have to take responsibly for Ben and that they would be fine.

He had tried to talk to Cas but that had ended up as one of the biggest fights they had ever had and Cas had gotten so mad that it literally scared Dean. After that Dean stopped trying to hold his marriage together and in the end he got Melissa and that would and was enough…

To hell with everything, he was going to Colorado to see if his little girl needed anything…

(New York)

Castiel was bored; with out Marissa around he was totally and utterly bored out of his mind. He had gone out with Gabriel and had totally hooked up with a very handsome man. Of course nothing happened, he was totally to shy for anything to really happen. In the last twelve years he had been so devoted to raising Marissa that his sex life had become a void of nothing.

So most of the time he sat at home looking over old photos of Marissa and some of Melissa and then he would stop at seeing a photo of Dean. Yes he had made mistakes in his life, one was Adam, the next was divorcing Dean, he still loved Dean with all his heart, but he just couldn't not get over the fact that Dean would be the one to cheat on him; it should have been him to cheat since he had done it to Adam.

Oh what was the point, he wanted his little girl back, and sure she had went away to camp before, but it was usually with in the state and he could visit her when ever he wanted.

Getting up he called the hospital, he was going to see his little girl…

(Colorado)

Marissa sat on the edge of her bed and watched the girl that shared the same face as her pace around the cabin with a phone stuck to her ear.

"You sent me out here old man, and now you have some explaining to do." Melissa hissed into the phone. Okay she knew that she should show some respect to her grandfather, but he got her in here and he could have known that that girl was going to be here, there was something going on and it reeked of old man plotting.

"Oh don't give me that, I maybe only thirteen, but I was raised to smell bullshit a mile away." Melissa said as she rolled her eyes to the heavens. Of course her grandfather was giving her this line to save his own ass.

"Listen, I said listen, okay? Now all you have to say is yes I did this, I bribed you to come out here and to meet this girl and yes she is my sister and that is all I want to hear, can you do that grandpa, please." Marissa raised her eyebrows at the sister part, because that was insane, they both had fathers for crying out loud. And she knew that there was no possible way that two men could have babies.

"See now that wasn't so hard was it. Okay I love you too." Melissa said as she hung up. She dropped her phone on the bed and collapsed right beside Marissa.

"So what did he say?" because Marissa just had to know. Melissa looked up and over to her.

"Well it appears that our fathers were in a homosexual relationship, got married and of course went threw a surrogate and had us, got divorced, and split us up." Melissa said looking at the ceiling.

"That's it that is all he said to you?" Marissa couldn't believe it, of course she knew that her father was kind of strange, but this was unbelievable, her father was gay? How the hell could she not have known that?

"Oh and yeah, your grandfather got this plan working, apparently he and my grandpa meets every six months to get the low down on us." Melissa shrugged a little. "Must be an old mans thing."

Marissa pondered this for a minute. "Hey you want to see a picture of my dad?" she asked, and Melissa snapped her neck up to look at her. "Really?" Melissa asked in disbelief.

"Well yeah I guess, I mean he is your father too right?" Marissa said walking over to her bag.

"Well I guess when you put it that way, sure, while you're looking, I'll go find a picture of my dad and we can change photos." Melissa smiled as Marissa nodded. Hopping off the bed Melissa raced to her cabin, grabbing her bag and went back just as Marissa pulled out a picture of her father.

Dean stood in the Colorado airport trying to rent a car, when he noticed out of the corner of his eye, someone he thought he would never see again, when he turned to get a good look at the man. He saw blue eyes staring right back at him.

Castiel stood shocked as he watched Dean turn to look at him. And at the same time they both whispered.

"Oh shit."
