Chapter 9: Eat or be Eaten

As food got passed around , voices piled on was getting a headache by the minute. The only one who was quiet was Jack, who had stopped his crying the moment he saw Castiel. Dean couldn't blame Jack though. Other than his sapphire blue eyes, Castiel's face was practically angelic, just like Haels.

" Okay everybody quiet down, quiet down. We've got newcomers who still haven't met half of their new housemates." Jody finally brought the chaos to order.

" Wait there here." The brunette from earlier stood her head scanning the room fo Dean and Sam. When she finally spotted them she gave them a big smile. Sam would tell Dean later however that he saw a sadness in the girls eyes. She reached over the blonde girl, who was not all to happy about that, to shake the boys hands.

" Get off me Alex."

" Shut up Claire i'm trying to introduce myself."

" You can do that, OFF ME!" Dean thought he might just get dinner and a show, when a loud whistle was heard and all hads whipped toward Jody.

" Girls, really?"

" Sorry mom-"

"Sorry Jody-" The girls muttered as they took their seats again.

" Hey Sammy boy. Hi older boy. Names Meg." Dean gave a side glance towards Sam , who visually gulped. ' Man Sammy boy you're done for.'

" Oh Meg stop that. Im Anna it's nice to meet you.."

" Dean, and it seems you guys have already met Sammy."

"Sam,Dean it's Sam." Sam said under his breath but Dean paid no mind.

" Im Garth by the way." Dean went from visions of sexy redheads to the pale scrawny boy.

" Hey Garth, sorry about earlier. I mean-" Sam stopped when Garth held up his hand.

" It's all good brother, sorry about my temper. All i ask is a good welcome hug and were even." Dean couldn't help but snort. Sam glared at him. Dinner was turning out better than he thought.

" Sure, whatever man. After dinner." The room became an awkward silence until Jody cleared her throat.

" Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" She was talking at Castiel who titled his head in a confused way before answering.

"I have already presented myself to them, when I arrived home earlier." Dean wanted to laugh, he honestly talked like a robot. Castiel must of sensed these and directd his gaze on 's mash potatoes suddenly became the most interesting thing in the world.

" What about everyone else, how was school?" Jody said. Haels arm skyrocketed into the air and girl practically begin jumping in her seat. Jody smiled lazily at the over energetic child.

" Okay Hael, how about you tell us about your day."

" Okay,today was really,really fun cause we were making a story. I don't know what my story is going about though. But thats okay, oh, and um Jesse, my bestest friend ever. Other than Alfie, he was being really funny today. Cause he's, Jesse is really suppo-os, um Kevin what's that word when somebody's nervous about everything but only like magical things?"

" Is it suspicious Hael?"

" Yeah soopussis. Jesse is really sowpiss about everything. Like today hehe, he kept , heehe, he kept jumping everywhere because he didn't want to step on ." Hael burst into a fit of giggles and Alfie soon followed even though he didn't understand his sister's story.

" Well I suppose avoiding cracks is practical, after all you could trip." Dean looked keenly at Castiel, it took him a moment to realize Castiel wasn't joking.

" Cas, man that's not what she meant." Garth spoke as he picked at his food.

" It's a nursery rhyme type of thing, step on a crack break your moms back, You've never heard that one either?" Max said. Dean was being to thing Castiel didn't get a lot of things.

" Come on guys we all know Cas lived under a rock almost his whole life." Claire leaned across Alex again, grabbing the pepper.

" I'm confused, how would stepping on a crack break one's mother's back? Also Claire we've spoken about this, i've never lived under a rock. Just on a farm amongst the wilderness instead of amongst society." Claire gave Castiel a dumbfounded stare.

" I had a good day too, if anyone was wondering."

" No one was Kev. Besides I have more important news. The annual LARP convention is coming up, anyone willing to help there queen? Other than Cas?" Castiel's hand slowly lowered it self down back to his side.

" Deserters."

"Sorry Charlie, Im going to busy and all, you know with mathleteles." A loud hmf was heard next to Max, which he could only only roll his eyes at.

" Got something to say Amelia?" The girl just continued to pick at her food, her eyes never leaving her plate.

" Nope." She popped the 'p' and Max looked like he was about to push the subject further when Anna interjected.

" Well I had a wonderful day today, it looks like I might get promoted." Her smile was beaming at her own news.

" Thats great Anna, I'm so proud of you." Jody said and soon everyone else were giving there own congratulations.

" Congrats Anna."Castiel's robotic voice took a happier and prideful tone. He even cracked a small smile.

" Yeah way to go flower pot, what are you now, vice president of daisys?" Megan retorted causing Alfie to go into a fit of giggles.

"Megan that was rude, Anna is no Flower pot." These got everyone to laugh, while Anna patted a confused Castiel shoulder. As Dean looked at the people who surrounded him, he couldn't help but think that they were a real family. He couldn't help but think that him and Sammy might just join that family.

So if anyone is curious, Cas works at gas n sip, Megan and Alex work part time at a nursing home, and Anna works at a flower shop.
