Chapter Seven

By the time the triplets were asleep it was almost eleven o'clock. They had watched movies with popcorn after a light dinner. The movie watching turned into a food fight thanks to Sam. He had thrown a kernel at Angel who had been quietly watching Toy Story. The little girl had turned around with a grin for her father and everyone else took the cue to throw more popcorn. Cassie had been lost in thought until she was hit in the head with a piece of corn.

"What the?" she asked before Sam threw another piece at her.

He was clearly the ring leader she decided with a laugh.

The kids laughed with her as the movie was forgotten and the living room became a war zone. In the end, everyone helped pick up the mess before bedtime.

"You know we have sweet kids but their mischievousness that sometimes shows through and is all your fault," Cassie said before she put the last dry dish away.

Sam grinned down at her, "Yeah you think so? I think their sassiness is all you," he teased her as he moved a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Cassie squeezed his firm bottom as she winked at him before she wandered off.

Cassie hesitated to go to bed before Lilly arrived home from her date. Lilly was supposed to be in by curfew which was eleven thirty. Even though Sam had thought that time was a bit late for a fifteen year old. The date was special since it was the night before her sixteenth birthday.

Cassie had gone upstairs as she tried not to worry about Lilly. She just missed seeing her daughter come in the back door.

"Hey Lil," Sam said as he opened the door for Lilly.

"Dad?"

"Hey I just happened to be standing her," he said with a wink.

Lilly shook her head as she left the kitchen even though she has a slight smile on her face.

Sam smiled too; they had worried for nothing.

Sam locked up the house after Lilly arrived home. He smiled as he recalled how Marco had so sweetly walked his daughter to the door. The young man hadn't dared to try to give her a kiss; he had only hugged her before he walked back to his car. Cassie had watched out of sight from their bedroom window.

Lilly had come straight inside to their room with a grin on her face afterward.

"You know we could have kissed in the car," she teased before she sat down on the bed.

"He wouldn't dare," Sam said with a fatherly tone though it was tinged with humor.

Cassie could tell just by the sound of her daughter's voice that she had a good time. She would try to get more detail as they readied for the party the next day. Tonight she would play the cool mom.

"Well I'm glad you had a good time," Cassie said with a smile.

"Yep, good night, Mom," Lilly said before she went off to her room.

Sam smiled as he returned to the bedroom. Cassie lay sprawled out naked on the bed. He didn't waste any time removing his pajama bottoms.

"Safe and sound," he said before he claimed her lips while his hands explored her body.

The years had been good to them both; Cassie's once boyish body had finally filled out after the triplets where born. Sam kept in shape by playing racket ball with his friends often. She smiled up at him while she traced his toned back with her hands that roamed lower over his behind. Cassie moaned against Sam's chest. He always made her feel so warm all over.

- Cassie wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed her neck moving his hands down her sides making her moan as his fingers inflicted pleasure. She closed her eyes breathing in his scent as he kissed her neck. Sam moved up some to toss his shirt to who knew where because he didn't care but he wanted to be inside his beautiful wife soon. He knew she loved to be teased but his patience when it came to sex with her wasn't always the best.

Sam kissed, licked, and sucked until Cassie moaned. He used his fingers to torture the other breast, "So wonderful," he moaned before he switched to her other side. He kissed gave it the same amount of attention as the previous one. He used his teeth to gently bite and pull on it. Cassie adored Sam's thoroughness. She was soaking wet and trying not to be impatient to feel him inside of her.

Sam moved down her left side to find as he continued his torture on her nipples, he wanted to hear her moan, call out his name as she cam. He needed to know once again he could send her over the edge.

"Sam please," she begged.

He could already feel the breaking point coming. Her orgasms always seem to rumble through him too. He reasoned it was because she was very vocal in her appreciation of him. Her hands kept moving up and over his back and bottom as though the movement enhanced her pleasure. Sam ignored her pleas instead he slipped his fingers between her folds and moved his finger over her clit. She arched against him with his name on her lips.

"Sammmm."

He kissed her lips as her first orgasm over took her in waves. He kissed the path to her stomach which made her whimper as he nipped her belly button, as the tingles subsided inside of her.

Sam moved the last few inches down as he looked at her glistening southern lips before he licked at her as she closed her eyes.

"You okay," he asked as she had quieted.

"You are so bad," she said with a wink at him.

Sam moved his hands down while he held her hips before he swiftly thrust his tongue against her clit which made her whimper out his name. He looked up at her again and could see the lust still in her eyes.

Cassie arched into Sam's tongue feeling it against her clit before he sucked it into his mouth making her moan at the feeling. Sam please I need YOU now," she insisted before she used her legs to hold him to that spot.

Sam licked and sucked at her clit making her arch up into him as he gently bit down finding that trigger as she went over again gripping to the sheets trying hard not to scream out afraid she'd wake the kids.

Cassie opened her eyes again to find Sam above her. She could feel him against her entrance. They looked at each other as he filled her completely. He moved slowly at first as she got used to him Every other thought except the two of them fled from their minds as their bodies melded into one. He kept his lips on hers before he picked up the pace as he pounded her into the bed kissing her until they both went over the edge moaning each other's name as they felt their release come to them.

The next morning Cassie let Lilly sleep in while she and Angel went to the store. The other two kids were picked up by Cassie's mother. She and her new husband wanted to be near their grandchildren so that had moved five years earlier. Audrey was a cake decorator and had made Lilly favorite cake. It was one surprise that Cassie didn't have to worry about.

At the store Angel held Cassie hand as they chose the paper plates, napkins and other matching items for the Sweet Sixteen party. The party store was luckily not full of people so they were able to get help from those in charge.

Angel picked out the colors which were purple and white because she knew her sister loved that color.

"Nice choice," Cassie said with a smile at her excited child.

Cassie knew it would be special for Lilly to know her sister was involved in the process.

It took them about a half hour to pick out all the items before they returned home.

-Several hours later, Sam returned with Lilly. He had gone into work a few hours and later taken Lilly out to a special late brunch for the two of them.

{Flashback - restaurant}

Lilly grinned at the man who had been her father most of her life despite having known most of the time that he was her uncle. She loved Sam and appreciated his kind heart. From time to time Sam had told Lilly stories about Dean, who was her father. She was well aware of the life they had led; her appreciation for her life was something that allowed her to be mature at her young age.

"So Dad, how do you feel now that I'm going to be dating?" she asked with a giggle as the waiter brought their waters.

"Oh you had to bring that up," Sam replied with a grin.

"No, I'm glad that you married Mom you know that right?"

Sam smiled, "Yeah I know your mother generally had horrible taste in men," he teased.

Lilly laughed as she shook her head, she loved that he was a person who enjoyed a joke. She really felt like she knew Dean from knowing his brother even though Sam insisted they were totally different. Sometimes she was sad having missed meeting him but Sam somehow made up for it. Things had never been hidden about what happened with the demon or the circumstances regarding Dean's death. She couldn't help but to appreciate all the openness.

Of course there were times like her birthday that she wished he was around.

She gave Sam a slight frown after a few minutes.

"I'm sorry Lilly if there was any way that things could have been different regarding your father...well."

"It's not your fault that he did what he did, things happen right? Besides he didn't' even know about me," she said before they ordered the food.

Sam sighed. As much as he loved his family he didn't think he would ever get over the loss of his brother completely.

"Tacos, right?" he asked Lilly with a broad grin that didn't' quite reach his eyes.

She nodded, she loved her tacos.

{End Flashback}

That afternoon Cassie came into Lilly's room to find her standing in front of the mirror with her hair in rollers.

"Hey."

"Hi Mom," Lilly said as she turned around.

Cassie went to her when she realized the girl was crying. She pulled her into her arms.

"What's wrong?"

Lilly shook her head; of all the days she was really wanted Dean to be there. It only hit her now and again. Maybe it was the time spent with Sam that had brought on the tears. She was unsure about telling her mother.

"You know that time of the month," she lied.

"Oh, did you need something?"

Lilly bit her lip she didn't want her mother to feel bad but she hated to lie too.

"No you know just hormones or something," she added.

Cassie hugged her closer, "You'll be fine; I can get you some pain meds….."

"It's okay it's not the pain just the emotions you know?"

Cassie nodded before Lilly pulled herself out of her mother's embrace.

"Maybe you are just nervous about the party but you don't have to be, its all going to be fun; you'll see."

Cassie went over to the bed and looked over what Lilly had chosen to wear. It was a pair of black jeans and a purple tank top with a matching short sweater. It was basic Lilly. Cassie hadn't want to pressure the young girl to get all dressed up so they were going to have a low key gathering of family and friends.

The party menu was pizza with hot wings on the side. It seemed to be Lilly's favorite meal on the weekends besides tacos. Cassie insisted during the week that they eat healthy foods so it was a treat for everyone. Cameron and Jade were as happy about the food as Lilly, Cassie thought. Angel was easier to please she seemed to enjoy anytime they were all together.

"So um, how did it go with Marco last night?" Cassie asked in what she thought was a breezy way.

Lilly turned around with a sigh, "It was okay."

Cassie stood up and casually leaned against the dresser. "He didn't try anything…."

"No Mom it wasn't like that, it was just different than just hanging out. I don't want to really talk about, okay.

"Okay fine, well, I have something I want to give you. It was something that Dean gave me when we went to a local carnival years ago."

Lilly took a deep breath. She wondered if her parents had any idea how the Dean talk made her sad. She never got to meet the man even though without him she would never have been born. She didn't want to make her mother upset so she stayed quiet about it.

Audrey walked in the door about the time that Cassie pulled the leather bracelet out of her pocket.

"What's up? You two look a bit glum."

Cassie and Lilly looked at one another. "No we're fine," Cassie said as she handed over the bracelet. Lilly looked at it and noticed the nice beading blended in with the brown leather. It looked as though it hadn't been worn very often. Lilly actually liked it because it was something like what she usually wore. She assumed that was why her mother thought she might enjoy having it.

"Thanks Mom, it's very nice," Lilly said as she put her arm out for her mother to put it on her arm.

Audrey smiled at the two of them.
