That evening, Dean, John and Bobby arrived back at the junk yard / Bobby's house. Dean was eager to go and meet up with Sammy. If nothing else than to tease him about his new found self. He had already decided to greet him as Samantha. He knew how much Sammy hated being called that. But now it seems to Dean that it fits him more than ever. He had helped in the driving because for whatever reason he was in a hurry to come back to Sammy. Something about Sammy made Dean feel whole. He didn't know what. He wasn't interested in digging deeper, but he knew that Sammy was an important part of his life. And he could not wait to be by Sammy's side as he came out of the closet to his parents. Suddenly it dawned on Dean. John, his dad, was going to be there. He didn't know how his dad was going to handle Sammy's coming out. All Dean knew and cared about was that Sammy needed his support and he was damn well going to be there for him. Come what may.

After the family was all caught up with what happened at the hunt, the boys had gone to get cleaned up. Dean entered Sammy's room to where he was going to bunk. Dean realized this was the first time he would be sharing a bed with Sammy after knowing of Sammy's sexuality. Dean wondered if he should be sleeping on the floor tonight. John was in the bathroom and so Dean had some time before he had to clean up. Sammy entered the room and stood by the door not knowing what to do. Dean and Sam just stared at each other before Dean dropped his duffle bag on the floor and headed to Sammy and hugged him and said "we will always be friends, you got that freak!" Dean then ruffled Sam's hair and stood back and looked at Sam with a smile. Dean was happy his friend was happy and that made him happy. Sammy said he would let Dean get cleaned up and left the room for Dean's privacy.

After Sam left, Dean looked at his hand and wondered why ruffling Sam's hair felt so good. Sam had real soft hair. Dean would not have minded if his hands had stayed there for a long time...Maybe even forever. Dean didn't understand this feeling, I mean it's not like it was the first time he had ruffled Sam's hair. So what the hell was going on. Just then his cell phone rang and it was Lisa. Lisa was the girl that Dean had asked out before leaving for the hunt. With mixed emotions Dean answered the phone and agreed to meet on their date the coming Saturday. He hung up and stared at the door as if he was still seeing Sammy standing there. Dean was in such a daze he didn't even see his dad coming out of the bathroom and letting him know the bathroom was all clear for him to use. John had to snap to get Dean's attention. When John inquired why he was lost, Dean lied and said he was thinking about the hot date he had on Saturday with Lisa. John just smirked and left him to his thoughts. Dean knew he was in trouble. He really wanted to date Lisa but at the same time he could not get Sammy out of his head and the feeling of Sammy's soft hair out of his hands...

During dinner Jo and Dean kept nudging Sam to come clean to everyone. Sam kept loosing his nerve. So Dean decided to take the upper hand and told everyone that Sammy had something very important to tell them and it was very imperative that everyone listen and to not say a word till he is finished. And then Dean looked at Sam as if to say the stage is all yours my friend...And so Sam cleared his throat and started...

"Um, so I have been meaning to tell you guys something and I haven't had the nerve to say it and now that Dean knows, I feel like I have some kind of support system to make me do this. First of let me start by saying Mom, Dad I love you guys very much and that I am the luckiest guy to have such wonderful parents like you"...Dean interrupted with irritation!

Sammy, You are not excepting an Emmy award here...move along and get to the point or I will!"

"I am getting there Dean, chill dude."

"I swear you tell me to chill one more time, I am going to smack you upside the head"

"I would like to see you try"...Says Sam daring Dean into a fight right there at the dinning table.

"Dammit you two idjits, stop it or I will make you both drink the toilet water"

Sam and Dean both shut up and looked at Bobby knowing he was not kidding. Dean continued to get back to eating and Sam cleared his throat and continued his speech. "Mom, Dad...I am gay. There I've said it. You know it kinda makes me feel good now that I've said it."

Ellen almost dropped her fork and stared at her son like he had grown another head. Bobby almost chocked on the piece of chicken he had just stuffed in his mouth and John just stopped the fork midway to his mouth and looked to see if this was some kind of a joke. Jo, Ash and Dean were all looking at Sam with extreme pride. They knew how hard this was for him. John was the first one to speak...

"So Sam, how long have you known?"

"Um, I've known for a long time, I just haven't told anyone till recently. I was afraid to loose the people I love the most." Saying that he looked at his parents and then at Dean and then last at John. John put the fork back on the dish and stood up and went to Sam and asked him to stand up. When Sam stood up, John hugged him and said I still love you like a son. And with that the smile on Sam's face went from ear to ear. Until he saw his parents had not spoken yet. But just as he was about to feel a pang of guilt or sadness, his mom stood and hugged him and pretty much repeated what John had said. Bobby looked at everyone and then finally at Sam and said

"Damn idjit, I have known for a long time. It is about time you came out of your stupid closet." At the shocked look from everyone, he said..."What? He is my son, believe me, a dad knows. I've spent enough time with him to know everything about that boy...and also I kinda heard him talking to Jo a week or so back. I wasn't trying to eaves drop, I just happened to be in the area and I heard the whole damn thing. Now if you all don't mind can we can it with this emotional bull crap and continue eating. I am fucking starving." To the F bomb that Bobby used he got a nice swift kick in the leg from Ellen. And everyone laughed and Dean and Sam looked at each other and smiled. Sam was just happy that his family had accepted him as he is and Dean was just happy to see Sam happy. Another mystery...why was it so important for Dean to make sure Sammy was happy? Nope not going down that road. Ignore the brain and concentrate on this delicious chicken. Dean then winked at Sammy and watched Sammy turn three shades of red.

At night when everyone had retired to bed, John came and got Dean saying he needed to talk to him about something very important. Dean thought at first that his dad would not allow him to sleep in the same room with Sam, since the coming out. But his dad had another completely different story to tell. A story that left Dean more and more confused as to why he was being told about all this just now...

Sam was in the room and waiting nervously for Dean. Two things he needed to figure out. One...how to spend the night with Dean now that the truth was known by all. And two, what was so important that John had to drag Dean away right now and talk to him. He hoped John was still going to be ok with Sam and Dean spending a lot of time together. Something made him think John was not really ok with his being gay. And Sam had a feeling John would prevent Dean from coming over as much as possible from now on. Indirectly if not directly...Sam was loosing his mind thinking what he would do if Dean was never allowed to be with him or if John kept Dean so busy with hunting and all, Sam would not get to see him. At least no more than absolutely necessary. Sam ran his hand thru his hair and started pacing and panicking about what to do if this were to happen.
