Dean walked down the hallway in his pajamas carrying two cups of coffee. The door to the play room was already open, sounds of giggling coming from inside. Dean's heart swelled, that's what he liked to hear. Everyone happy. Now if Sam and Gabriel were here all would be perfect. As Dean walked in he noticed the kids had sat themselves on the floor around Castiel who was holding his mothers guitar and getting ready to play. Just as Dean was about to say something Castiel started to sing,

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.

It took dean a moment to recognize the song from the Sound of Music. Dean was pleased when the kids all started singing along. When the song was over Dean sat down next to Castiel who almost seemed embarrassed to have been caught singing. Not to mention playing a guitar he knows he shouldn't have. But Dean just smiled at all of them, "That was great! Have you guys been practicing?"

Maggie piped up to answer her father, "We try to sing everyday! Right, Cassy?" Maggie smiled at Castiel, sticking her tongue out of the hole where her first lost baby tooth had been. In the two days since she lost it this had become her new habit whenever she smiles. Castiel grins back at her. Amused at her antics.

"Indeed, Miss Maggie." Castiel looked over to Dean as he continued, "I find if I sing every day I am a much happier person!" Castiel sat the guitar down and took the cup of coffee Dean had brought to him. "Thank you, Dean." Castiel sipped the milky,sugary, coffee. Dean had got it perfect. Castiel looked at him from under his eyelashes as he drank, a small smile on his face.

Dean couldn't help but stare at Castiel. He was so sweet and genuine...and way to innocent. Dean had been a bad boy when he was younger, the only thing that had changed him was Lisa and the kids. When Lisa died Dean had started to fall into depression, loosing grip on what was important. Being with Castiel has made Dean feel like he can be happy again. He is becoming addicted to the man, and he can't seem to stop it. He had tried.

Ben looked between his Dad and Nanny. He had been noticing the little smiles between them. That and his dad kept touching Castiel. He tried to make it look casual but Ben knew better. His Dad didn't just touch people. Ben was kinda hoping this was going where he wanted it to. He wanted Castiel to stay forever, not just a few months. Ben had already talked to Ellen about the situation and she had agreed with him. Dean and Castiel would be perfect for each other, and if they don't come together by themselves Ben might have to step in and play the Parent Trap on them.
