Trail Of Honey: All Becoming Clear
Chapter 36

"Are you going to stay here by yourself?" Sam laughed as he sat on the couch, putting his boots on and seeing Alex still laying in bed with the blanket pulled around her body.

Alex looked at Sam. "I'm getting up." As she got up from the bed, she kept the blanket wrapped around her body. She picked up a bag from the floor and took it with her into the bathroom.

She cracked the door. Seeing steam coming from the shower, she smiled and went into the bathroom. She let the blanket drop to the floor as she set the bag under the sink. Quietly she stepped in the shower behind Dean, and placed her arms around his waist.

Smiling to himself Dean turned around to see Alex standing behind him. He bent down, softly kissing her lips. "Good morning."

"Good morning to you too." Alex smiled.

"So you finally got out of bed, huh?"

"Yeah. I thought I'd come see what you were doing."

"Getting a shower." Dean said as he handed Alex a wash cloth. "I loved waking up to you this morning."

Alex smiled, as she took the wash cloth from Dean's hands. "Why?" She began washing her body as Dean stood, watching.

"Why wouldn't I?" Dean smiled. "You looked beautiful this morning."

Alex laughed. "You're sick."

"No I'm not. Oh and I cleaned the little mess up this morning before Sam got up."

"What mess?" Alex asked as she handed the wash cloth back to Dean and turned her back to him.

He began washing her back with a smile. "The clothes from last night."

"Okay. Are you ready to get out and get clothes on?" Alex smiled to herself.

"No." Dean dropped the wash cloth and smiled at Alex as she turned to face him.

"Well you have to change that. Sam is ready to go I think." Alex smiled as she stepped out of the bathtub, grabbing a towel from the small rack hanging from the wall.

Dean turned the water off and stood in the bathtub looking at Alex. He smiled to himself as he watched her getting dressed.

Once Alex was dressed she left the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

"Is he ready yet?" Sam asked

"He's getting dressed now." Alex laughed. "Are you going to keep Dean company today?"

"Why?"

"I'm just going to the bakery, hoping there are some sample items for the diner there. I'm not going to take too long."

"Oh. I guess I could. As far as I know I'm not doing anything when we get home."

"Let's go." Dean said as he walked out of the bathroom, holding the bag Alex had taken in.

When they arrived home, Dean stood outside with Alex.

"I'm going to make my quick run to the bakery." Alex smiled at Dean as she opened the driver's door of her car. "Be good."

Dean walked up to Alex and kissed her. "Do you really have to go?"

"Yes." Alex smiled and returned a kiss. "Sammy is going to keep you company."

Dean took the bags from the car and carried them into the bedroom. He hated days when Alex had to go into town. Dean knew she loved the bakery. So it wasn't that bad because he knew she was happy going into town.

"I was told to keep you company." Sam said as he walked into the kitchen, taking a seat at the table.

"I know." Dean said as he leaned on the island in the middle of the room, looking at Sam. "I'm thinking about making her a little surprise dinner."

"So, you want me to go get the phone book so you can call and order something?" Sam laughed.

"Hey, at least I try." Dean smiled.

"Yeah. I know it means a lot to her when you do try. And just so you know she's in love with the necklace you got her."

Dean smirked. "I kind of figured that. She hasn't taken it off since I gave it to her."

"What did she get you?" Sam looked at Dean as he pulled things out of the refrigerator.

"A nice little book with some pictures she took. The next time we go on a hunt without her, I will have it with me."

"Okay. Don't say anymore about that." Sam looked at Dean.

"Hey, I looked at those pictures and thanks to those pictures, I can't wait to get her alone every night this week." Dean smiled.

"You two really do need to find something else to do when you're alone."

"We have that covered." Dean smiled. "Right now that's all we've been doing because we're trying to get pregnant again."

"I know, but I was thinking there for a while that she's getting a little discouraged."

"I don't think she is now Sammy. I mean since we both heard back about the tests, it's changed her into some kind of freak." Dean laughed.

"I'm really hoping that you guys get pregnant soon." Sam laughed.

They heard knocking on the front door. Sam moved from his seat and opened the front door to see Alex standing with her hands full of boxes.

"Sammy, can you get a couple, please?" Alex smiled as she looked around the stack of boxes in her hands.

"Sure." Sam grabbed a couple boxes. "Where do you want them?"

"Just put them on the coffee table. I didn't think they'd send all the samples at once." Alex told Sam as she walked into the living room. "Thanks Sam." She looked at Sam as he set the boxes down on the coffee table.

"No problem."

Dean walked into the living room, smiling at Alex. "Back huh?"

"Yeah." Alex smiled at Dean as she set her purse down on the floor under the coffee table and opened one box.

"Let's eat first." Dean smiled as she took Alex's hand.

"Okay." Alex laughed.

"So I'm going to leave now." Sam laughed.

"Bye Sam." Alex smiled as Dean pulled her into the kitchen.

Alex giggled as she saw two plates of spaghetti sitting on the table. It melted her heart that Dean always tried so hard when he was doing something special. Most of the time though, when he was making dinner it always turned into spaghetti.

"I made you dinner." Dean smiled.

"Well thank you Dean."

Dean smiled as he sat down at the kitchen table.

"What is all this?" Dean asked as he walked into the living room after he had finished washing the dishes to see the boxes sitting on the coffee table.

"Samples." Alex smiled. "Come sit down and help me pick a few things."

Dean sat down beside Alex and looked into the box on her lap. "What are these things?" Dean asked as he pulled a stack of papers from the box.

Alex set the box on the floor and moved closer to Dean's body. "These are samples of different styles of menus."

"Is this the real name of the diner?" Dean asked as he looked at the front of one of the menus.

"Yes." Alex smiled.

"So the name of the diner is going to be Lilly's Diner?" Dean asked as he opened one menu, reading over the items.

"Yeah. After my mom." Alex smiled at Dean.

Dean leaned over, placing a kiss on Alex's forehead. "Sounds great. The food sounds great too."

Alex laughed. "I figured you'd think so. There's even pie on the menu." She said as she leaned over to Dean, pointing out the pies listed on the bottom of the right page.

"Yes, but I don't see what I want." Dean looked at Alex with a smile on his face. "I want your pie."

Alex shoved Dean as she laughed. "You're not helping me at all. I like this one," She picked a menu from the pile that lay on Dean's lap. "It reminds me of a classic diner."

Dean looked at the red, white and black colored menu with a smile. "Use that one. If it's the one you want, use it. This is your diner."

"You sure it's the right one?"

"Yes, this one is the keeper." Dean smiled as he laid the menu on the coffee table and dropped the rest back into the box. "What's next?"

Alex laughed at Dean. "Paint colors?" Alex smiled as she held up a list of paint colors with samples of what they look like.

"Baby, if you're doing the menu like that then paint the inside white with black and a little red." Dean smiled.

Alex grabbed a pen from her purse and circled the colors she wanted, then handed the paper to Dean.

Dean laid the paper on the table with the menu sample.

Alex was loving the fact that Dean was willing to help her with picking things out for the diner. She thought he would be somewhat interested in the idea, but not that he would really sit down and help her.

"Done." Alex smiled at Dean as she sat back on the couch.

"Congrats Ally." Dean smiled as he leaned over, giving her a kiss. "What do you want to do now?"

Alex looked at Dean and smiled. "Lay here with you." She softly pushed Dean onto his back and laid over him. She softly began kissing his lips.

"Great idea." Dean smiled as he let his hands rest on her ass.

"Glad you like my idea." Alex smiled and laid her head on his chest. "I love you Dean."

Dean smiled to himself as he moved his hands up Alex's body and wrapped them around her waist. "I love you too."

"When are we going to have our baby?" Alex asked Dean.

"Don't worry about it." Dean placed a kiss on the top of Alex's head.

"I'm trying not to. It's just hard."

Dean began rubbing Alex's back. "I know, trust me I know. We'll get our family."

Alex looked up at Dean. "I just can't wait to see you be a daddy." A smile formed on Alex's face.

Dean smirked. "And I can't wait to see you be a mommy."

Alex stood up from where she lay on the couch with Dean.

Dean sat up and watched Alex as she left the room. "Where are you going?"

"To bed."

"Good idea." Dean said as he got up from his seat and followed Alex upstairs. "Hey, I thought you were going to bed?" he asked as he watched her walk into the bathroom.

She turned and smiled at Dean as she shut the door. Dean thought that could only mean one thing, tonight was going to be great. He sat down on the foot of the bed and took his shirt off, tossing it to the floor.

"Nice." Dean smiled as he watched Alex walk out of the bathroom wearing a pair of red lace panties with a matching bra.

"This is one of those things I bought when I was shopping for my anniversary dress. You really like it?" Alex smiled as she turned around, showing Dean every part of the outfit.

"I love it." Dean had always loved when she went on her little shopping trips. Even if she just bought a pair of jeans, she had to try them on and show Dean. He especially loved when she bought new bras and things like that. It was always a treat to get his own personal fashion show.

Alex locked eyes with Dean as she walked up to him. She smiled as he placed his hands on her waist. "Do you like it on or off better?"

Dean could feel himself getting more excited. "Well, it depends on what you're going to do when you take it off."

Smiling, Alex put her hands on the button of his jeans and began to unsnap them. "What do you want me to do?"

Dean lay back on the bed, smiling at Alex as he felt her slide his pants from his body. "Whatever you want to do." He said as he looked at the ceiling.

"Anything?" Alex smiled as she crawled onto the bed, beside where Dean lay. She bent down, softly kissing his lips.

"Yes." Dean looked at Alex as she knelt on the bed.

Alex moved her body to straddle Dean's, smiling as she did.

Reaching up, Dean unsnapped the clasp of Alex's bra.

Smiling, Dean placed a kiss on Alex's forehead as she lay sleeping beside him. She always looked so peaceful and sweet as she slept. Most nights when he couldn't sleep, he'd just lay and watch her sleep. He was hoping whatever was going on with her lately would be done soon. Softly he moved his body from the bed, making sure to not wake Alex. Before he left the bedroom he slipped a pair of shorts on.

Standing in the open doorway of the nursery he flipped the light switch and the room lit up. He smiled to himself as he looked at the light blue walls, remembering the day he and Sam painted the room. It was a surprise for Alex because she was working in the bakery that day. He walked up to the wooden crib that leaned against the wall and looked into the crib to see the bedding Bobby gave them was still in the package. The bedding was bought by Bobby. Alex had been so excited when he pulled the beeding out of his car.

The small bookcase that was next to the old wooden rocking chair held a few story books and the baby book they had already started filling out. Dean sat down in the rocking chair and picked up the white covered baby book. As he opened the book pictures fell onto his lap. He picked the pictures up and began to softly weep to himself, the pictures were from the ultrasounds they had done. Each ultrasound Dean was there beside Alex, maybe even a little more excited than she was to be able to see their child. Dean wiped away tears from his face as he looked at the ultrasound that pointed out they were having a boy.

When the doctor announced in the small room that they were having a boy, the others in the waiting room could hear their excitement. In that room they told the doctor they already knew the name they were going to choose, John. Before they left the office that day Dean was already calling Sam to let him know he was going to have a nephew. Alex was calling Bobby to let him know they were having a boy.

Dean shoved the pictures back into the book and set it back where it was. He slowly rocked in the chair as he though to himself. Wondering what their life would be like now if their child would have been born. It tore Dean apart, he knew though things were headed in a better direction. He knew they were going to have a baby soon.

"Hey." Dean turned to see Alex standing in the doorway wearing her red silk robe.

"What are you doing in here?" Alex asked as she walked toward Dean.

"Just thinking." Dean gave Alex a smile, hoping to hide the fact that he had been crying.

Alex brushed her hand over Dean's cheek. "What are you crying about?"

Dean reached out, pulling Alex onto his lap. "I was looking through the baby book."

"Oh." Alex put her arms around Dean, pulling him into a hug. "Like Cas said, he's fine now."

"I know baby. I was thinking about when Sam and I painted this room too."

Alex pulled away from Dean, smiling. "I came home to see you two standing on the front porch drinking beers and covered in blue paint. I had no idea what you two had been into."

"But you loved the surprise." Dean softly rubbed Alex's back. "You loved when Bobby stopped for a visit and surprised you with the bedding for the crib too."

"Yes I did." Alex looked at Dean and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. "Come on back to bed."

"Well go on." Dean smiled. "I'll follow you."

Alex smiled as she moved from Dean's lap.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Alex asked as Dean lay down in bed beside her.

Dean turned to Alex and smiled. "Yes, I'm sure I'm okay." He gave Alex a kiss.

"Good." Alex smiled as she laid her head on Dean's chest.
