Hot Weather

AN: Fluffy happy chapter, we could all use them right? Please please tell me what you think!

Since Ashley had a bulging disc in her back, she sat out on a couple hunts and instead started looking for pre-schools in their home town. Justin was running all around Bobby's kitchen and study. Within the last month that the 4 Winchesters had spent in Sioux Falls, Justin started repeating easy words and moving around on his own with ease. Ashley couldn't help but smile at how fast Justin started doing these things- he was going to be exactly like Sam, based on stories she has heard from John, Dean, and Bobby. Ashley wasn't able to chase after Justin as much, so instead she began to help Bobby watch phones and research lore for hunters, while he chased after the boy. During that time, she was able to catch up with all her old friends that were still running around the country in zigzags chasing God knows what into creepy places for God knows what reasons.

Ashley was sitting at Bobby's desk with a sleeping Justin in her lap and chatting with one of the few fellow females hunters she had grown close to on a few hunts when Sam and Dean stumbled in from a Wendigo case close to the North Dakota boarder "How'd it go?" she asked, wrinkling her nose at the stench of burning flesh, woods, and sweat coming off the two men.

"I hate camping" Dean whined as he went towards the kitchen.

"Whoa, hey, no!" Ashley yelled at the boys "Outside! You guys stink. Go take a hose bath" she ordered "I'll bring soap and towels out in a second."

Sam sniffed his armpits and then his shirt before shrugging and following Dean outside. Justin had woken up when Ashley yelled at the boys, that's when she realized it was hot out, he was stinky from sweat, and bet Justin would enjoy playing with her brothers. Ashley put the boy down and took off his shirt and shorts then sent him outside to her brothers.

By the time Ashley came out with towels, Justin was soaked head to toe and running around without a diaper, since Dean took it off as soon as he sat in the mud and got it saturated with hose water. "Wow, guess he needed some uh-"

"Male bonding? What's the matter Ash, feeling left out?" Dean chuckled as he splashed Ashley with the hose. Sam smiled at the shocked look on his sister's face. Ashley didn't like the look spreading on both brother's faces and the small nod they shared. She tried to run, but was scooped up carefully by a shirtless Sam.

"You're not getting out of this dry" Sam howled as she started tickling his exposed sides. Dean turned the hose on Ashley, soaking the 3 towels she brought out, along with her white tank top. Her squeal made Justin laugh and roll around in the mud even more.

"No dammit De!" Ashley screamed. "Sammy put me down!"

"No way, Little One" Sam laughed into her ear as he plopped a handful of mud on the top of her head. Only after her blond hair became brunette did Sam let her go.

"Now my shirt is see through and dirty, thanks guys" she playfully whined as she tossed her wet shirt at Dean's head. "Congrats, you win" she curtsied. Ashley picked up two handfuls of the warm mud and tossed one at Sam, hitting him on the neck, and then the other at Dean, hitting him square in the chest. Justin was sitting on his bare bottom with the biggest smile on his face he could possibly muster

Bobby was happy he grabbed Sam's camera upon seeing Justin running buck naked, because now the family of four was tossing mud around all half-naked like Girl's gone Wild. Sam and Dean exchanged a quick look that said everything- the old Ashley was back and she was going down!

Ashley called truce when the sun went down and Justin had started to shiver. Dean quickly rinsed the boy off as Bobby brought out 4 dry towels. Once Bobby began warming the cold boy up, the 3 Winchesters began rinsing themselves off. Ashley's back was bothering her again because of all the running and throwing, so Sam helped rinse her hair while Dean toweled off his chest before taking off the wet boxers and wrapping the towel around his waist. Sam finished helping his sister then followed Dean's lead with removing his wet boxers and heading back into the house to get Justin ready for dinner.

"Ash?" Dean cleared his throat.

"Yeah?"

"You happy again?"

"Aw, Dean don't start a movie moment now" Ashley chuckled.

"Come on Ash, you wanted a kid and you got one. Then you went all 50's house wife, just tell me" Dean pleaded as Ashley took off the rest of her wet clothes "are you happy again?"

"Peachy, De" Ashley smiled as she rapped herself in the last dry towel and walked inside to headed upstairs for a fresh set of dry clothes.
