Chapter 7:

Dean was woken up that morning by the sound of his phone ringing. Charlie groaned and buried herself into Dean's chest. Dean smiled at how cute his girl was. He rubbed his eyes and reached over for his phone.

"Hello" he said softly as he stroked Charlie's hair.

"Hey man, did I wake you?"

"Yea but its fine, what do you need Roman?"

"Me and Seth were going to head to the gym and wanted to see if you wanted to tag along or did you get a good workout in last night?"

Dean chuckled and couldn't help but look at Charlie, who was oblivious to the fact that the sheet was around both of their hips, exposing her top half. Dean felt himself get hard, quick.

"That is none of your business, I'll go, what time?"

"10, gives you enough time to say bye to your girl."

Roman laughed while Dean just shook his head.

"Shut up, see you guys later" he hung up and tossed his phone back on the nightstand. He looked down and saw Charlie fell back to sleep.

He gently moved off the bed so he didn't wake her before making his way to his closet. He saw the box of pictures he had of her was out and quickly put them where no one would find them. He picked out shorts and a wife beater to wear while working out. He changed and walked out to put his shoes on. Hating that he had to wake her, he walked over and gently shook her. Charlie groaned and buried her head into her pillow.

"Baby, I'm going to the gym with Roman and Seth I should be home about noon okay. When I get back I have a question for you." Charlie nodded, not even opening her eyes making Dean laugh softly. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Charlie."

"I love you too" came her soft reply which sounded more like a whisper. Charlie didn't get a lot of sleep last night because after their first round of sex, she fell asleep only to be woken up by Dean and his magical tongue. They had to of had sex at least 4 times.

Dean smiled and kissed her forehead once more before leaving the house. He was planning on asking her to go out of town next week to his cabin in the woods. His parents might not have cared about him but he had grandparent's that did and when they died they left him everything.

He was also plotting on how to take care of Dolph. He knew what he wanted to do but he had to wait for the perfect time. He loved Charlie and nothing was going to come between them.

/*/

Dean got to the gym and saw Roman and Seth waiting for him. He grabbed his gym bag before heading over to them.

"Hey guys" they bro hugged before heading in.

"Hey Dean, where is Charlie we thought she would have tagged along or did we scare her off?" Dean laughed and shook his head as he started lifting weights.

"No you guys didn't scare her off, she actually likes you guys. Last night was her birthday and we had some fun all night so she was tired." Both men chuckled before they all fell into their own routines.

When Dean was done with his set, he pulled out his phone to call and check up on his lady. Seth and Roman batted their eyelashes and made kissy noises. Dean flipped them off as he focused on the phone.

"Hello?" Dean smiled at her sleepy voice.

"Hi angel, just thought I would check in."

Charlie looked over at the nightstand and saw he only left 30 minutes ago.

"Dean you've been gone for half an hour" he chuckled.

"I know but I miss you. Maybe I can cut out early and we can go to lunch or something."

"No Dean you don't need to do that. Spend time with your friends."

"I've spent enough time with them for the past 15 years. I want to spend time with my angel, don't you wanna spend time with me?"

"Of course I do, its just you have only been with them for half an hour. No need to ditch them for me, I'll see you when you get home. I love you." Dean sighed but smiled when those words left her mouth. He would never get tired of hearing them from her.

"I love you too Charlie, see you in a bit babe." Dean hung up before walking over to continue his workout. The sooner he got it done, the sooner he would be home to spend the day with his beauty.

/*/

Charlie hung up with Dean before getting out of bed. She grabbed her bag she packed for the weekend and headed into the bathroom to shower. She finished her shower and dressed in a blue lace bra and pantie set, she looked in and realized she forgot clothes for today. She saw Dean's hamper and pulled out a grey long sleeve henley. It stopped mid thigh and was very comfortable. She threw her hair into a messy bun to create waves and walked downstairs.

She searched Dean's cupboards for food and found some cereal. She poured a bowl before heading into the living room and sitting on the couch. She flipped through channels until she found a Ghost Adventures marathon. Charlie loved this show. She sat indian style while eating. She placed her bowl in the sink when she was done before returning to to the couch. When this show was on it was like Charlie was in another world.

A new episode had just started when the front door opened and Dean walked in.

Dean walked in and turned to his right when he heard the tv on. He saw Charlie sitting on the couch, with her legs up and she was watching the tv intently. He smirked when he saw what she was wearing.

"Hey angel." No answer. Dean walked in and tapped her shoulder making Charlie jump and give a little scream. She pressed a hand to her heart and looked at Dean.

"Jesus Dean you scared me" he chuckled and sat down on the couch putting her legs in his lap and rubbing the soft skin.

"Sorry angel. What are you watching?"

"Ghost Adventures. Ever seen it?" Dean shook his head and Charlie looked at him shocked.

"Well then you can watch it with me, its really good. How was your work-out?"

"It was good. Would have been better with you there" Charlie shook her head and laughed.

"Charmer, now shh your missing the show." Dean shook his head. During the show he noticed how Charlie would jump or look away when she thought something was going to happen or was scary.

At one point they were tracking some strange blinking light through the woods and Charlie was convinced something was going to pop out so she hid behind her hands.

"Babe nothing is going to pop out. Haven't you seen these already" Dean asked in a mocking tone that had Charlie look over at him and glare.

"No this is from the season I missed thank you very much." Dean smirked and pulled her so she was laying flat on her back with him hovering over him.

"My sincerest apologies angel." He kissed her neck, making Charlie shut her eyes in bliss. "I missed you this morning" he said as he slid his hands up to rest on her hips under the shirt. Charlie let out a little laugh that turned into a moan as Dean found her spot.

"Dean d-didn't you have something t-to ask me" Charlie said recalling what he had said to her this morning. That snapped Dean back to reality, he placed one last hard kiss on her neck before sitting up. He pulled Charlie into his lap and took her hands in his.

"So I was thinking, you know how we have that whole week off because of construction?" Charlie nodded and Dean continued.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go upstate with me to my cabin. I thought it would be a nice get away for us."

"Dean that is really sweet of you but I don't know. I have barely seen my mom or Joey at all and I was going to spend that week with them, especially because Joey leaves soon." Dean tightened his grip on her hands slightly.

"Charlie your mom will be working and Joey will probably be with his friends, so you would probably spend it with me anyway. Consider this another late birthday present. Besides you have the whole week after to spend with them. Please?"

Charlie sighed, but nodded none the less.

"Okay, I'll go." Dean smiled and kissed her. He was going to take whether she agreed or not, even if it meant taking her kicking and screaming. Before things could get heated, Charlie's phone went off upstairs.

"I better go see who that is" Dean nodded, Charlie slid off his lap and made her way upstairs. She grabbed her phone from the nightstand and saw a number she didn't know.

"Hello?"

"Hey Charlie."

"I'm sorry who is this?" Charlie didn't know but Dean was on the stairs right outside the bedroom listening.

"Its me Dolph."

"Oh hey Dolph" Dean grew rigid at Dolph's name.

"Hey, I thought you had my number" he laughed and so did Charlie.

"I thought I did to, anyway whats up?"

"Me and a bunch of people from school were heading to the pool hall downtown and I was wondering if you wanted to go?"

"Dolph that's really sweet but I am actually spending the day with my boyfriend, I'm sorry." Dean smirked to himself when she turned him down but was still pissed at him for calling her.

"No its okay don't be sorry, maybe another time?"

"Yeah maybe. I gotta go Dolph, see you in class on Tuesday."

"You got it, bye Charlie"

"Bye Dolph" Dean heard her hang up and decided to make his presence known. He walked in and saw she was laying down on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Who was on the phone angel?" Charlie sighed debating on whether to tell him or not. Charlie wasn't one to lie often so she told him the truth.

"Dolph, he wanted to know if I wanted to go to the pool hall with him and a bunch of other people." Dean was surprised she actually told him. He figured she would lie so they wouldn't argue anymore about him.

"Oh okay." Charlie sat up and looked at him weird. He would have chuckled but knew he had to keep his cool.

"Your not angry?" Dean shook his head and pulled her up, into his chest.

"No because I know I can trust you and I do, with my life." Charlie looked up and smiled at him. She kissed him before pulling back.

"Thank you that means a lot" Dean smiled and kissed her once more.

That afternoon, they were laying in bed, naked from their activities. Dean looked down at his girl and smiled. She was so beautiful, he was so lucky that she was his. He had his plan on how to take care of Dolph but he also had something else going through his head.

He knew it was early but hey accidents happen, at least that was what he would tell Charlie. If this plan worked, they would always be together. They would have no other choice then to be. He made up his mind that when they went on vacation, he would put his second plan into motion.

He ran his fingers over her abdomen and smiled, thoughts of his child growing in her running through his mind. He gently kissed Charlie's lips before he soon joined her in sleep.

/*/

When Charlie woke up, she saw it was time for her to go home, she had class tomorrow. She tried to get out of bed but Dean's arms tightened around her. Charlie looked over her should and saw he was awake and smirking.

"Going somewhere angel?"

"I have to go home, I have class tomorrow." Dean gave her a look, he rolled her over so she was facing him and pulled her closer.

"Can't you stay here until tomorrow morning?" Charlie felt his arms tighten even more. She squirmed uncomfortably but he didn't seem to notice.

"No, me, mom and Joey are going out tonight-" she was cut off my Dean's phone. Dean unwrapped one arm but kept the other still around Charlie's waist.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dean its Stacey" Dean smirked.

"Oh hey Stacey, what's up?" Charlie furrowed her eyebrows. Why was her mom calling Dean?

"Charlie, Joey and I are going out to dinner tonight and I was wondering if you would like to join us. Give us a chance to get to know you better and you can spend time with Joey."

"I would love to thank you. I'll see you guys there." He put his phone back on the nightstand before wrapping his arm back around Charlie.

"Well what do you know, I'm going out to dinner with you guys. Its a good thing your mom likes me" he smirked and Charlie rolled her eyes. She had something she wanted to bring up but she knew it would start a fight that she didn't want. She knew she had to say something so she took a deep breath before talking.

"Dean, do you think we are spending to much time together?" Dean looked over and saw she was looking down at the bed.

"I don't know why, do you think we do?"

"I don't know. I mean I always seem to be with you now or staying with you. Maybe it would be good if we limited to when I stay over to maybe one or two nights a week."

"Why Charlie, things have been really good with us why change it?" Charlie sighed, wondering why she had to open her mouth.

"I just feel like I never see my mom and now that I am leaving with you for a whole week it made me see just how little time I am spending with her."

"Maybe you should just move in here then." Charlie's eyes snapped up to him, she saw him staring intently at her.

"Dean we haven't even been dating for two months."

"So we are already in love and it feels like we have been together for years. Your 22 Charlie, maybe its time for you to move out."

Charlie sighed and rubbed her temple, feeling a headache coming on.

"I can't think about this right now, forget I brought it up." Charlie went to get out of bed but once again Dean tightened his arms.

"No Charlie I won't forget you brought it up. Everything has been great and you want to change it. I love spending time with you and I think it would be great if you moved in here."

"I don't know Dean. I-" Dean cut her off with a searing, sloppy kiss.

"Please baby, I know it would be great.

"Won't you get sick of me" Dean gave her a look.

"No angel, I could never get sick of you. I love being around you. I used to only like being around Roman and Seth but now I love being around you and sometimes only you. Please babe." Charlie sighed.

"Can I think about it?"

"Of course sweetheart." He wasn't going to lie, it pissed him off she didn't say yes right away. He had to remember that they were further in the relationship in his mind then they were in real life.

"I have to go home and change I will see you tonight." Dean nodded and kissed her passionately.

"You got it angel, see you tonight." He unwrapped his arms and watched as she gathered everything. She pulled on a pair of his sweatpants that he left out for her and the long sleeve shirt before picking up her bag. Charlie leaned down and kissed him once more before leaving.

/*/

Charlie was in her room getting ready for dinner when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" the door opened and Joey walked in.

"Hey squirt, almost ready?"

"Yeah almost." Joey nodded and sat on her bed. He picked up a picture of Charlie and Dean that had been taken two weeks after they got together.

"So how are things with the boyfriend?"

"They're good, we have had some fights but nothing to serious. He uh wants me to move in with him" Joey looked at her shocked.

"How long have you guys been dating?" Charlie sighed and finished putting her earring in before walking out of the bathroom.

"It was a month on October 3rd" Joey eye's got even wider.

"Why does he want you to move in? Doesn't he think its to soon?"

"No he thinks it fine and that it will all be good. He says that since I'm 22 now I should start thinking about moving out. I suggested maybe we should limit the number of times I spend the night to two and he disagrees because things have been so good why change them."

"And what do you think?"

"I think we may be spending a lot of time together lately. I mean I have only seen you a handful of times since you have been here, mom just got home and I have only seen her Wednesday, Thursday morning and Friday. I just don't know what to do. I already agreed to go out of town with him next week to some cabin he owns. I feel like he is pressuring me to move in with him. What should I do Joey?"

Joey got up and wrapped an arm around Charlie's shoulder's.

"The best advice I can give you is follow your heart. If your not ready to move in with him then don't. Don't let him pressure you into anything okay?" Charlie nodded and gave him a hug.

"Thanks Joey."

"No problem squirt. Now lets go before your mom sends a search party" Charlie laughed and they walked downstairs. As they were leaving Charlie saw Dean's car wasn't there. When she got in the car she smoothed down her skirt. She was wearing a black crop top with a pink high waisted skirt that stopped above her knees and black ankle heels. She had her hair wavy and did light make up.

When they got to the restaurant, Charlie didn't see Dean's car anywhere. Shrugging it off, she followed her mom and Joey into the restaurant. When they were seated, Stacey looked over at her daughter.

"Where is Dean honey?" Charlie shrugged while sipping her water.

"I have no clue, I haven't talked to him since I left this afternoon."

"How are things between you guys."

"They are good, I like being with him." Charlie decided not to mention the whole moving in thing to her mother. She was sure with how much her mom liked Dean, she would tell her it was okay to move.

"That's good , I am happy for you two." Charlie gave her mother a smile before looking at her menu. They all looked up when they heard footsteps approaching.

"Sorry I am late, I was hanging out with the guys." Dean kissed Stacey's cheek, shook Joey's hand and made his way to Charlie. He gave her a deep kiss as he sat down next to her.

"Perfect timing Dean, I was just asking Charlie how you guys were doing." Dean looked over and smiled at Charlie.

"Things are good, really good. Did you tell your mom about the cabin Charlie?" Charlie looked up from her menu when she felt Dean's hand squeeze her thigh.

"Oh no. Um Dean invited me to go up to his cabin next week for the whole week since there is no school." Stacey smiled and Joey just nodded, having already to be told.

"That was very nice of you Dean."

"I just thought it would be nice. The lake is beautiful this time of year and it also counts as another birthday present for Charlie."

"Aw that is sweet." Dean smiled and ran his fingers up and down Charlie's thigh.

"So Joey, Charlie said you were in the army. How long?" He grabbed hold of Charlie's hand when she tried to dislodge his fingers. He interlocked their fingers and rested their joined hands on his thigh.

"4 almost 5 years. I uh actually have an announcement about that. I was discharged at the beginning of the month."

Stacey and Charlie looked at him in shock. Stacey decided to speak up while Charlie just looked at him. Joey loved being in the army, why would they discharge him.

"Why did they discharge you?"

"I suffered a bad head injury right before I came home. So they discharged me." All 3 people nodded.

"Sorry you were discharged man, Charlie told me how much you liked being there." Joey shrugged.

"Its okay, shit happens."

"Joseph watch your mouth we are at dinner" Charlie and Joey laughed, the mood now lighter than it was a second ago. They all ordered their food, Stacey and Charlie excused themselves to go to the bathroom.

Dean watched the sway of Charlie's hips before focusing back on the table. Joey cleared his throat, he didn't know if he was supposed to say anything but Charlie was his cousin, no she was a sister and he wanted to help her out.

"So Charlie said you mentioned something about her moving in with you" Dean nodded while playing with his fork.

"Yea she is over there a lot any way, I just thought it would be good. I mean she is 22, maybe its time for her to move out and I would love if she lived with me."

"With all due respect Dean, whether she is 22 or not she shouldn't be made to feel pressure to move out. You weren't around when her dad left, you didn't see what it did to her mom. I know Charlie and I know she won't want to see her mom like that again."

"With all due respect Joey, Charlie would only be next door, she would be able to see her mom whenever she wanted and Stacey would always be welcome to come over. Charlie is my girlfriend and I want her to live with me. Besides its completely normal for couples to live together." Dean's tone took a possessive turn when he said "my girlfriend."

"Yea when they have been dating for a while, you guys haven't even been dating for 2 months. I'm not trying to fight but I just don't think its good to make it seem like you are pressuring her." Dean gripped his fork before nodding. Why Charlie told Joey is beyond him, if she was feeling pressured all she had to do was say something. The two men fell into an uncomfortable silence while waiting for the two ladies to come back.

After what seemed like forever, Stacey and Charlie finally came back to the table. Dean stood up and pulled Charlie's chair out for her before kissing her cheek.

"Sorry guys, there was a line." Joey and Dean nodded but didn't say anything. Dean wrapped an arm around Charlie's waist and kept her close to him. Charlie felt the tension between Dean and Joey when she sat down but couldn't understand what happened.

While Joey and her mom were talking, Charlie looked sideways at Dean.

"What is with the tension?" Dean looked over and shrugged.

"I don't know what your talking about angel."

"Don't Dean, when I sat down I could practically cut the tension with a knife, what's wrong?"

"Now is not the time Charlie" Dean hissed so quietly only Charlie could here. Charlie swallowed and nodded, not knowing what to do. She had never heard Dean talk this way to her.

Their dinner came and they ate in an awkward silence. Dean kept a firm hand on Charlie's thigh as they ate and Joey couldn't help but glare at Dean every so often. When they were finally done, they paid their bills and left. Dean took Charlie to the place they went after the dinner with her mom.

They sat in the car and watched the falls while listening to soft music. There was some slight tension between them and it was broken when Dean spoke.

"So Joey thinks I am pressuring you into moving in with me. Would you like to tell me how he knows about that?"

Charlie looked over and sighed.

"I told him. I needed to talk to someone about it that wasn't involved and he was the only person I could think of."

"Why didn't you talk to me about it."

"Dean I tried. But it was like you weren't even hearing me."

"Oh trust me Charlie I heard you and it didn't make me happy. Things are good with us and I don't know why you would want to change that."

"Because Dean I miss spending time with other people like my mom. I have only seen her like 3 times since she has been home. Dean I love you its just I think we have spent a lot of time together. I can't be with you all the time, we will get sick of each other." Dean was on her in the blink of an eye, pulling her to him with a tight grip on her arms.

"How many times do I need to tell you Charlie, I will never get sick of you. I didn't think it was a crime to want to spend time with my girlfriend. You are always more than welcome to say "hey Dean I can't come over because I wanna spend time with my mom."

"Dean you got angry when I told you I wasn't going to class the one day because I was spending time with her. Ow Dean your hurting me" Charlie cried as Dean tightened his grip slightly.

"All I want is to be happy with you and I am happy with the way things are and I don't think we should change them. How about a compromise, we keep things the same and I won't get angry if you decide to hang out with your mom instead of me. Sound good babe?" Dean spat. Charlie gulped and nodded feeling tears stinging her eyes. This side of Dean was scary to her and she didn't know what to do besides agree in hopes he would loosen his grip.

Dean nodded and kissed her passionately before releasing his grip on her.

"Good, I love you Charlie. I promise not to pressure you into moving in. I will give you the time you need okay." Charlie nodded, not trusting her voice to answer. Dean pecked her lips once more before he sat back down and started the car. Charlie buckled before staring out the window. She felt a tear slide down her cheek and quickly wiped it away not wanting Dean to see her cry.

Finally after what seemed like forever, they made it home. Charlie unbuckled in record time just wanting to go upstairs and go to sleep. Unfortunately, Dean stepped into her way and pulled her into his arms.

"I'm sorry about how that went down baby. I didn't mean to scare you I promise." He felt the tears on his shirt and he mentally cursed at himself. He never wanted to see his beauty cry, especially if it was because of him.

"I'm so sorry baby. I love you so much." Dean kissed her head multiple times and rubbed her back soothingly until he heard her cries stop. Dean tilted her head back and pressed his lips to hers in a gentle sweet kiss.

"I love you angel."

"I better go in and get ready for bed, I have class in the morning." Dean nodded and kissed her once more.

"Okay. I will see you in class, I love you" he said again as he wiped the remaining tears away with his thumbs.

"I love you too" came her soft reply before she removed herself from his arms and making her way into her house. Dean watched as her front door shut before making his way back to his house. He walked in and saw the package he had dropped off was still on his coffee table.

He picked it up and took it to his safe where he kept the pictures of his beauty. He lied to everyone at dinner. He wasn't hanging out with the guys, he was tailing that little asshole Dolph to see what his schedule was like. He even got his hands on a copy of his school schedule. His first plan was falling into place. He was excited for this one but even more excited for his second one.

He had never wanted to have a child with anyone as much as he did with Charlie. He was sure that if this worked, Charlie would decide to move in with him so they could be a happy family. He smiled as he put everything away in his safe before heading to the bathroom. He had everything prepared for next weekend.

He made a promise to himself that when they left the cabin, Charlie would be pregnant and they would be together forever.
