Sam, Gabriel, and that girl sat in the living room while Dean paced in the kitchen. Danny was at Swim practice and John had gone to pick him up. He had sent Jojo to her room so Castiel and him could have a grown up talk. Dean continued to pace the floor like pacing could give him the answers he wanted. Sammy had almost crashed into Baby, which was basically a cardinal sin in the Winchester household, and then he came in with some girl who claimed she was his daughter. Dean had to admit the girl had Sammy's hair color, and she actually seemed pretty cool, but he didn't want to get his or Sammy's hopes up. Why would they not know about her until now? Surely the angels would've noticed if there was another Winchester kid running around just like they had with John.

Lucifer seemed to play a big role, and if it was all some elaborate trick they were going to have fried archangel wings for dinner. Dean continued to pace until Castiel grabbed his arm to stop him, "Dean, it's alright."

Dean threw his hands into the air, "It's alright? There's some chick in the living room, and…"

Castiel hushed him, "Dean, please let me speak."

Dean pretended he wasn't pouting, "Fine."

Castiel said, "I do not know how Mary Walker was able to escape the eyes of heaven, but there are sigils on her ribs that could be the cause. I cannot tell who put them there, but of what I can tell Mary truly is Sam's daughter. She is brave, stubborn, and a good person. She has no home; her mother died of natural causes years ago and her foster family were killed by supernatural forces. Do you wish to turn her away?"

"Supernatural forces?" Dean asked, "Like with what happened at that church place with Johnny? It couldn't of been demons, so what would've gone after her?"

Castiel sighed, "That I do not know, but with us she will be protected."

Dean ran a hand through his hair, "Well she's family, and Sammy was talking about maybe wanting a kid and he got his wish now."

"Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind."

Dean shook his head chuckling, "No more Disney movies for you, man. Go get Jojo and we can introduce her to the girl."

Castiel tilted his head, "It is a bit of an oddity that not only was your eldest son's name was John before meeting him, and Sam's daughter is Mary. Their namesakes are that of your parent's. Perhaps it is fate."

"John and Mary are both pretty common names, and Fate's a bitch who tried to kill us. We can introduce the boys to them when they get home. I just don't know how they'll take it though."

Castiel pecked Dean's cheek, "You worry too much."

Dean could tell Sammy was on edge when he walked back into the living room. His nails looked like they had taken a beating, his hair was ruffled from having his hand running through it continuously, and his eyes widened expectantly when Dean entered the room. A cruel fun loving brother would've let their little brother simmer in anticipation for a shit storm, but Dean was feeling generous since it seemed like Sammy had already been through the ringer.

Mar said, "Dean-o, angel's pretty easy on the eyes; not bad. So did I pass the test or what? You guys going to let me crash here, or will I be forced out into the cold? If you're still undecided I should probably let you know I can juggle, and not to brag but I can make some pretty awesome toast."

"First rule of the house is to not listen to anything Gabriel says; it's Dean. Second, Cas is awesome." Dean said, " I suppose we'll let you stay, but it's on the condition that toast of awesome standards must be made tomorrow for breakfast tomorrow if it complaints my scrambled eggs. Lay claim to whichever room you want that isn't already occupied."

Mar gathered up her bags and gave Dean a small salute, "Roger that, Dean."

Castiel flew into the living room with Samantha on his hip, "Jophiel, this is your cousin Mary. She is Sam's daughter. Say hello to her; she will be living with us now."

"Blunt as always, Asstiel." Gabriel sniped.

Samantha tilted her head, "You're a girl."

"That is true, Jophiel."

"It's Jojo! Though Johnny and Danny call me Sammy, but your daddy's name is Sammy, so you can call me Jojo." Samantha explained, "You're a girl and I'm a girl; we're the only girls."

Mar nodded, "Well Jojo, you can call me Mar then. We can start a club that's girlz only in the house."

Samantha grinned, "That'd be awesome! Papa can make cookies for it cause he makes really great cookies."

"I wouldn't doubt it. You want to help me find a cool room?"

Samantha wiggled until Castiel put her down, "I'm great at helping! Come on, I'm really good at picking out rooms."

Samantha raced up the stairs with Mary trailing behind her. Sam shouted, "No running in the house! You could get hurt."

Dean asked,"Since when has someone ever died from running in the house?"

Gabriel fidgeted in his seat, "You know, Me and Cassie probably have some heaven importante angel stuff to get to. You two bros probably need to have a BM or whatever. We'll just leave you two alone, and come back for dinner."

"I do not understand." Castiel tilted his head, " I have not heard a call to heaven, and shouldn't we be here as a family now that…"

Gabriel clamped his hand over Castiel's mouth and out him into a headlock, "Archangel outranks little angel. Off to heaven we go! Come on, Lucy."

Lucifer whined, "But I don't wanna go!"

"Lucifer, we're going."

Gabriel flew off with a reluctant Lucifer and a confused Castiel in his grasp. As soon as the angels were gone Sam rested his head in his hands, "Dean, what the hell am I supposed to do?"

Dean flopped down on the couch next to Sam, "Tell your big brother what the problem is."

Sam groaned, "I don't know what I'm supposed to do this whole dad thing. She's a teenage girl and I don't know what to do. I'm not ready for this."

Dean gently patted Sam's back, "Ready or not it's happening, Sammy. I was scared shitless the first time with Johnny too, but you just have to roll with it. You were saying you thought you wanted a kid, and now you do. We'll get her enrolled in school after break. Christmas is coming up. You can try bonding with her the best you can, and if she wants space you give it to her. If she wants to talk about anything listen, but don't push her or she'll push you away. Give her time, let her adjust, and try. Just try your hardest. You can rock the dad thing."

Sam tried not to smile, "That was actually kind of a good speech, and I don't even think it had a movie reference in it."

Dean shrugged, "Win some lose some. Don't worry 'bout it."

"There it is."

John shoved the keys of the Gabriel's car into his coat pocket, "Danny, you know why Dad said we can't have a kitten. He's allergic, and so am I. It doesn't matter if you find the cutest kitten ever. He won't go for it."

Daniel furrowed his brow, "What if Father believes the household could benefit from a kitten, and Uncle Sam as well?

"Dad would them throw a bitch fit, and they'd both care more for Dad's wellbeing than a cute kitten."

"That's quite disappointing. Who's car is that behind the Impala?"

John scratched the back of his head, "I don't know. Dad didn't say anyone was coming to visit today."

Daniel reached for the doorknob eagerly, "I suppose we shall see who it is then."

John glanced around the foyer not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Everything seemed calm and quiet. John shouted, "Hey Dad, we're home!"

Mary leaned on the railing at the top of the stairs, "I'm your new dad. I'm guessing you're 'we're' or were you referring to black sheep over there?"

John yelled, "Dad, who's the weird tall chick?"

Daniel tilted his head, "She doesn't appear to be a baby chicken."

"Chick = girl, Danny."

Sam and Dean rushed into the room both with hesitant looks on their faces. Before John could ask what the hell was going on Daniel explained, "Dad, this young lady claims she is our new father. I apologize for your lose in your former position, but it was a good run. I am unsure if that is how it goes, and she referred to me as a black sheep when I am not such a thing. She is a confusing girl."

Mary raised a brow, "Is this kid for real?"

Daniel nodded, "I am real indeed."

"Alrighty then."

Sam interrupted, "Johnny, Danny, um we kind of have some news we need to share with you. This is Mary and she's going to be staying with us."

Mary slid down the bannister and stuck out her hand to the boys, "I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the one who smells like chlorine is Danny, and Big Blonde and Beautiful is Johnny."

Johnny pursed his lips as he shook her hand, "Please don't ever say that again even though you're right. Uncle Sam, why is this girl staying with us?"

Dean smiled reassuringly, "It's not anything bad, little man. It kind of came as a surprise to us too but, it turns out Sammy has a kid. Mary's your cousin."

Mary gave the boys a small wave.

Daniel smiled, "I have not had a cousin before. I suppose this is better than a kitten."

John blinked, "I leave for a few hours…"

Dean put his hand on John's arm, "Johnny, we can talk in private for a bit if you want."

John waved him off, "No, no, it's all good. Can, um, can Danny, Mary, and I go upstairs for a bit."

Sam rubbed the back of his neck, "Um sure, dinner will get started soon."

Dean tried to change the subject as the kids slowly walked up the stairs, "Danny, how was swim practice?"

"It was fine." Daniel replied, " Mr. Pistone says I am very fast. A number of the boys are quite nice to me."

"That's great Danny."

John dragged Mary and Danny down the hall into his bedroom. Daniel closed the door behind them before taking John's spiny desk chair for himself.

Mary whistled, "Somebody likes books. What's in that chest thing? Porn?"

John crossed his arms, "No it's not porn. I wanted to talk to you in private because I figured you wouldn't in front of Sam and my dad."

"What exactly are you expected me to talk about?" Mary asked

"How you feel about this whole thing? You seem pretty chill considering the circumstances."

Mary shrugged, "It's okay, I guess. My mom had a guess of who my dad was, but she didn't know for sure. It's weird I'll admit, but um the whole Springer spiel isn't as weird as the supernatural stuff."

Daniel asked, "What kind of supernatural stuff occured in your vicinity?"

"I kind of saw weird stuff when I was a kid. You know, monster looking things. I used to be really scared of it until it kind of become the norm" she replied, "My foster parents were killed a while ago because of it, and Lucifer got me out of there. He told me a little bit."

John sighed, "Well, it's probably better you already know about the life. We won't have to hid it from you. You know when I was little I could hear the angels."

"The voices I heard weren't all that nice, and the faces weren't either."

"What do you think about my dad and Sam?"

Mary tucked a piece of her hair behind her hair, "Dean's pretty cool and your little sister Jojo seems like a good kid. Sam's kind of...I don't know. He's awkward and nervous, which I understand, but I don't know what to make of him."

John chuckled, "Hell, when I first met them when I was seven Sam was the chill one, and Dean was awkward and nervous. He probably just doesn't know what to make of you either, and just hopes you don't hate his guts."

Mary raised a brow, "You met them when you were seven?"

"Yeah, they were both big bad scary monster hunters, but Dad was absolutely terrified of me. Finding out he had a kid was a hell of a shock for me and him, but he adjusted. Uncle Sam will adjust too."

Mary rocked back and forth on her heels, "About that whole hunting thing. Are you a hunter?"

Daniel replied, "John is indeed. He is also quite good."

John asked skeptically, "Why do you ask?"

Mary exclaimed, "I want to be a hunter! Can you teach me?"

John shook his head, "You don't have to be a hunter just because you're living here, and there's a hell of alot of stuff to learn, and I don't know how Uncle Sam and Dad would feel about me teaching you. You're still a civ, even if you know some of the basics. It's dangerous."

Mary begged, "Please, come on. I just want to know some more. Lucifer only showed me protective sigils and stuff. I'll be your best friend."

"I don't care if you're my cousin I just met you!"

Daniel suggested, "Johnny, perhaps Mar could assist us in investigating the mysterious people and oddities going on. Since we are to not inform Father, Dad, or Uncle Sam perhaps she could be of assistance."

Mary turned to John with an evil glint in her eye, "Oh, there's an investigation going on that the warrens don't know about? I'd be a shame if a little birdy notified them."

John glared at her, "You wouldn't"

Mary pouted her lips, "I don't want to, but I do want someone to teach me about hunting."

John pinched the bridge of his nose, "Fine, just don't tell Dad. I'll teach you, but you have to help us."

Mary stuck out her hand grinning, "It's a deal, partner."

"It's a deal."

Dean gently knocked on the door. He yelled through the door, "Hey, you kids okay?"

They shouted back, "We're fine!"

When Dean's footsteps faded John said, "We'll keep this to ourselves."

Mary stood straight as an arrow as she gave John a proper salute, "Roger that, BBB."

John sighed, "Please don't call me that."
