Anna almost hit the ceiling when she heard the front door open later that night. They had been anxiously waiting at Punk and AJ's all day for JC to get back home. All they could think about was finally getting to hold their baby girl, take her home and look after her.
They all stood up in sync, watching as JC walked in the door with Skyler in his arms. Punk smiled to himself, wrapping his arm around AJ as she rested her head on his chest. It was the biggest feeling of relief ever.
"Oh my God." Anna whispered, not really believing that she was finally there with them, and she was all theirs to look after and take home, the way it should have been from the beginning.
"I think I have something that belongs to you both." JC smiled, walking over to them both as Dean and Anna crowded him immediately.
"Oh my Gosh." Anna repeated, "Hi.' She smiled tearfully with so much joy in her voice, clasping her hands over her mouth as she looked down at the baby girl who was awake, "Hi, baby." She smiled, almost feeling out of breath. It had been such a rollercoaster of emotions and she was so glad to see her daughter finally after so much waiting.
Dean smiled as he looked down at his daughter, looking into her sparkling blue eyes as she made soft little noises and wriggled a little in JC's arms. She was beautiful, and she was perfect, and he promised nothing could ever happen to her again, "She's amazing." Dean shook his head in disbelief. He finally felt like he could be her dad after so much waiting and uncertainty, and he couldn't wait to raise her with Anna, and finally be a family.
"Here, take her." JC smiled as Anna nodded, taking Skyler from JC into her own arms, smiling at the feeling of having the little bundle in her arms again, knowing they could take her home and put her in her nursery in the crib they'd bought in the room they had made for her. It was such a special feeling.
"Hey, princess." Dean whispered as Anna faced into him, both of them smiling and looking on at their baby girl as JC stood back and smiled to himself.
"How'd it go?" Punk asked JC who turned around and walked over to he and AJ, giving Dean and Anna their own time with Skyler, they deserved this moment for themselves.
"How'd you think?" JC asked him as Punk nodded, "Got what she deserved."
"What do you think the feds will do?" Punk asked him.
"They'll arrest her and she'll go to prison. Company will be shut down… and everyone will know about it." JC said, "It's what she deserves. She wasn't… she wasn't using Skyler because she wanted Anna back or she wanted her to be in a safer environment. She was using her as leverage." JC nodded.
"She'll get what she deserves." AJ nodded, looking over at Dean and Anna and smiling, "This is all that matters." She said as JC smiled and nodded.
"Yeah." JC nodded in agreement.
"Ok, I need to see her." AJ shook her head, not being able to wait any longer, wandering over to Dean and Anna, "Oh, hey." AJ whispered quietly, looking over at Skyler, smiling on at her, "Oh my God she's so perfect." AJ smiled to herself.
"Do you want to hold her?" Dean smiled.
"Of course." AJ nodded, cradling her arms out as Dean placed Skyler in them, "Oh, hi baby." AJ smiled, "I'm your aunt AJ." She said, "Yeah, I am." She nodded, stroking her cheek softly, "You're so cute, oh my gosh." AJ laughed a little, "I think you look just like your daddy." She nodded, "Yeah, I think you do." She nodded to her as Dean smiled.
"She does." Anna nodded in agreement whilst Punk made his way over to them. He still hadn't held his niece either and was desperate to meet her properly.
"Look." AJ smiled, "It's uncle Punk." She said as Punk smiled, "Here." AJ said, passing her over to Punk who got a little shot of holding her.
"Hey, sweetheart." Punk smiled, "I'm your favourite uncle." He said as the baby girl yawned.
"Look, she's bored of you already." Dean laughed a little as Punk just made a face.
"No, she's just tired." Punk smiled, "Huh? All that flying take it out of you?" He asked her, "You're so sweet." He smiled, pressing a kiss on her head and she wriggled her little legs, causing AJ to smile.
"Oh, don't. I want another one." AJ shook her head.
"Behave." Punk told her as she just smiled and leaned against his arm as they properly introduced themselves to the baby girl that meant so much.
They stayed at the house for a few hours with Skyler. Keala came home from school and got to meet her little cousin finally, Paige dropped CJ off too as he finally got to meet his little sister. Overall it was a special and heart-warming night to finally have Skyler back with her family where she should have been all along, and Dean felt obligated to thank someone in particular.
"Here, open those chips if you want." Punk said, passing a bag of chips to his father as they stood in the kitchen whilst Dean walked on in.
"How is she doing?" JC asked Dean, opening up the chips.
"Yeah, she's good. She's sleeping." Dean smiled. He felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders now that his daughter was back with them, "Keala loves her." He chuckled a little as Punk nodded.
"Tell me about it." Punk shook his head, "And I think my wife wants another baby now. Thank you."
"Always here to help." Dean nodded, "Hey, I just wanted to say thank you." He looked across at JC who looked up, "You didn't have to help us like this-"
"You're my son." JC said, "I did."
"No, you didn't." Dean said, "You didn't have to go out your way like you did. I guess I never… I still didn't believe you were really here, being our dad." He said, turning to Punk in agreement, "But… I feel like I have a dad now." He admitted truthfully, "I'm not saying you had to prove yourself but… you did it on your own and… you helped get her back and that's all that mattered to me." He nodded, "And I know you managed to settle some other things in the process, and that… bitch is finally where she belongs." He nodded as JC smiled.
"If only we could have a drink to celebrate" JC teased as Dean laughed a little.
"I'll do you both one better." Punk said, opening up the fridge and throwing them both two cans of pepsi.
"You still haven't told me why you have a pepsi tattoo by the way." JC remembered.
"I like pepsi." Punk shrugged as JC just shook his head, "I agree with Dean, though. You didn't have to help us like this. Even just being there for us would have been enough but you've… you've done more than that. You caught Ben. You helped me with Sam. You helped get Skyler back." He said, "And you done it all sober. I… I'm really proud of you." He nodded as JC just smiled to himself. He wouldn't say it, but this moment right here was one of the greatest moments of his life, standing with his sons who were actually proud to be his sons.
"I think mom would be proud right now." Dean smiled to him as JC just nodded.
"Hope so." JC said, smiling to them both, "Well hey, cheers." He raised his can of pepsi as they hit theirs off his, "What goes around always comes around." He said as Dean and Punk smiled and nodded.
"She asleep?" AJ asked, lying in bed later that night as Punk walked into the bedroom and shut the door over behind him.
"Yeah. She can't wait to go to school tomorrow and tell her friends about how cute her cousin." He smiled.
"Oh my God, I love her." AJ smiled as Punk nodded, climbing onto the bed and collapsing down beside her, "I'm so glad she's home." AJ nodded, "And that that witch got what she deserved." She shook her head as Punk nodded.
"Yeah. Good fucking riddance." He nodded, "I think it gave my dad a lot of peace now too." Punk said as AJ nodded.
"He looked real proud coming in with Skyler." AJ smiled, "I bet your mom would be so proud of him." She nodded, playing with his hair.
"Yeah." Punk smiled, "She would be." He nodded, "I'm just glad Skyler is with Dean and Anna now. That's all that matters." He said as AJ smiled and nodded, rolling over on to him as she straddled his hips as he smiled, "Hey, did you really mean it when you said you wanted another baby?" He was scared to ask.
"No." AJ smiled a little, "Not right now anyway. I just… she was so cute and I forgot how it felt holding a baby. Frankie is practically walking on his own now."
"Hey, maybe in a few years when we're bored." Punk nodded.
"Bored." AJ scoffed, "We'll find something to do I'm sure." AJ smiled.
"Each other." Punk nodded.
"My husband." AJ smiled, leaning down and pressing her lips against his as he kissed back, deepening the kiss as she quickly pulled back to take her t-shirt off which she had no bra on underneath, feeling his hands immediately cup her breasts as she leaned back down and pressed her lips against his.
He trailed the kiss down her neck and down her throat as he hooked his fingers in her shorts, pulling them down as she helped him out, pushing them away with her panties as she straddled him naked.
She giggled as he flipped them around where she was on her back and he was on top, watching as he stripped his t-shirt off and went back to her lips, kissing down her neck and throat as he began to kiss down her body slowly, trying to kiss down every visible part of her skin as she smirked and looked down, watching as he disappeared between her legs with a smile.
"Is she ok?" Anna smiled, watching as Dean came out of the nursery, "CJ is asleep." She nodded.
"Yeah, she's good." Dean smiled, "Main question is, are you ok?" He laughed a little, walking across the hall with her into their bedroom, "It's been a long couple of weeks." He said.
"Yeah." Anna nodded, "I'm ok. I mean… I know it's my mom and she's… probably… well, she is going to prison but… that's… that's on her. She took my kid from me to use her as some sort of bate." She said, "She deserves prison for what she's done, what she's hidden… no one can tell me different." She said as Dean nodded, "I'm just happy that we have our baby back." She admitted with a smile. It felt surreal but so right to finally have their precious baby girl, a somewhat miracle, back with them and in her own home.
"Yeah. Me too." Dean smiled, "I think my dad really likes her." He laughed a little, stripping his t-shirt off as Anna smiled.
"Your dad, the hero." Anna smiled, "He's very unaware of… the help he's actually given you both. He might not be the perfect father but he… he tries." Anna nodded, "He really does."
"Yeah I know." Dean said, "We talked today. The three of us." Dean nodded, "It… it felt nice. It felt like we… we were actually a family." He said, "Just wish mom could have seen it, she would have lived for that shit." He smiled to himself.
"I know you don't believe in it but… I think she's still with you." Anna nodded, walking over to him, "I mean… she practically helped us in all of this with the diary. Without that… we wouldn't have been able to take my mom down." She said as Dean nodded, "I say she's still keeping an eye on you both." She said as Dean smiled, "Where is the diary anyway?"
"I think my dad has it." Dean said, "You know there is just one thing I'm still… uneasy about." He told her, "I know we've got Skyler back and… that's all that matters but… what about Sam?" He asked, "What… why was he talking to your mom and what did he have to do with this? It's been playing on my mind." He said.
"You could always ask him." Anna said.
"I'm sure that will go well." Dean said.
"It's worth a try." Anna nodded, "While we're on a roll, we could figure out what that pesky little worm has been up to aswell." She shrugged as Dean laughed a little.
"Now we're suddenly all detectives? I love it." Dean smiled as she nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I… I don't care about anything else other than our daughter being back with us. That's all that matters. Anything else that happens is just a bonus." She said as Dean smiled and nodded.
"Yeah." Dean said, "I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too." Anna nodded, pressing a kiss on his lips softly.
