'David…come on baby, open them eyes for me now.' came a beautiful sing song voice through my sleep. Groaning I opened one eye a crack.
'There you are.' a beautiful blonde woman was smiling at me and I quickly opened the other eye.
'Hi.' she smiled leaning down to lay a kiss on my forehead. 'Come on time to get up, your son has soccer practice and you promised you'd take him this weekend.' she said before standing and leaving the room.
I quickly sat up to look around the light airy bedroom I appeared to be in. It was homey, pictures of children and pets hung on the walls. I jumped out of the bed and looked at each closely.
In one picture I saw myself standing with the pretty blonde smiling widely and raising a wine glass. In another I held a baby, a baby with shocking black hair and my nose. The son the woman had spoke of? I went along the wall until I froze. In this picture were people I had never met in my life but knew immediately. Standing proudly by my side were all three of my fathers and we appeared to be showing off a diploma. One with my name on it.
'David? Are you coming?' the blonde came back into the room. I looked over my shoulder at her and pointed to the picture.
'What? Thats your graduation picture. Your Mom took it.' she said wrapped her arm around my waist and kissed my cheek.
'Everything ok babe? You seem a little out of it.' she asked.
'I…I uh…' I stuttered out when suddenly there was a loud running of feet before two kids burst into the room laughing and racing.
'Dad, Gabriel said I can't go to his soccer game because I'll embarrass him! What does embarrass mean?' a little girl with blonde hair and my mismatched eyes asked climbing my leg until I reached down and picked her up.
'Your Dad and Gabriel are going to the game by themselves Snow. We're making cookies with Opa remember?' their mother, I assumed, said to the girl. I looked at her.
'Snow?' I asked and she looked at me and grinned widely.
'Yes Daddy?' she asked me and my heart stopped. Daddy, she had called me Daddy.
'Come on Dad, I'm going to be late and Pop will ream me out in front of the team.' the boy, Gabriel, pleaded with me. His eyes were the midnight blue I recognized in Castiel's face and my heart began to stutter in my chest.
'Ok, everyone out so Dad can get dressed.' my wife? said ushering the kids out.
'Ok, how much did you drink with your Dad last night?' she put her hands on her hips and looked at me sternly.
'My Dad…'
'David, enough! Get ready and take your son to his game. Sam might be your father but that won't stop him from being pissed if your late.' she huffed and went to the door. 'Oh, and don't forget Cas is coming by later to help Snow make cookies so don't stuff yourself on Starbucks.'
She shut the door and I sank to the bed. What the hell was going on here?
'Its your life now.' came the voice of God from the side. I jumped slightly before settling down and looking at him.
'I don't understand. Didn't I die in the Cage? Wasn't that the plan all along? Did I finish my job? Is everything locked?' I asked him.
'No, I never planned on that. Did you?' he asked me.
'I…I guess I did. No gain without sacrifice and all that.'
'You Winchesters and your need for sacrifice.' God rolled his eyes at me.
'So did it work?' I asked him again.
'Yes David, it worked. Once the last archangel fell it automatically sealed off both heaven and hell. Those left outside are now human and those inside are now prisoners.'
'Ok, so what do you mean this is my life now?' I asked him.
'I'm giving you a choice. You can go back to the Cage, wake up and wander Hell because now its locked and you can't get out, or you can stay here and have this. A beautiful wife, her name is Lola by the way, kids and your Dads.' he said.
'What about Mom and Gabriel?' I asked.
'They're more then happy in their heaven David, do you really want to drag them out?' he asked me. I thought about it, thought about seeing their heaven and knowing they were happy and shook my head.
'But I don't remember this, I don't remember them.' I waved my hand at the door.
'Um, God here. I can fix that.' he tapped my temple. I looked around the room and saw how happy I looked in all the pictures. How happy I felt looking at them.
'Do it.' I asked him.
'I'm very proud of you David. You are by far my single greatest creation.' God said before laying his palm on my forehead.
