In one month the twin's features had changed drastically. Their blue eyes turned into identical pairs of bright green, their dark black hair had lightened into shades of two different shades of brown, Danny's hair was dark and thick and Mattie's hair was golden brown and light. Mattie smiled and cooed loudly at almost anything that moved and she had a cry that could pierce through the hearts of her family in an instant. Danny was quieter than his sister, he would smile brightly but only if someone was making an effort to entertain him. A lot of the time he would take in his surroundings with a serious and thoughtful look. He resembled his father a great deal even at his young age. Mattie's features were harder to determine when it came to which parent she resembled more, but she had her mother's nose. If she had been the beautiful little girl Bela had been visited by in her dreams, the girl would grow up in closer resemblance to her mother. Dean was phenomenal with the children; it was as though he had been a father for years instead of a month. He would never hesitate to change a diaper or wake up in the middle of the night to just hold them, he was patient and sweet and everything that Bela wished that she were. Bela wasn't bad with the twins; she just enjoyed her sleep. She loved to see them smile, she would play with their feet and blow on their stomachs because she loved the both of her children dearly; there was just something different about the way Dean was with them. He was natural at it, as if he had inherited the mommy gene and was able to utilize it day in and day out, whereas Bela needed time to sleep and energize.
There wasn't a doubt that the twins would grow up as neglected as many other children of hunters, it was as though the Mattie and Danny had four parents and each one of them were wrapped around the twin's tiny fingers.
"Ready to go?" Dean asked strapping Danny into his car seat carrier.
"I've been ready to go since we checked into this crappy motel" Bela sighed
"What do we think about Mommy's complaining Mattie?" He asked the smiling child as he scooped her up out of the collapsible playpen
"See, even she doesn't take you seriously anymore" Dean snickered as he strapped his daughter into the other carrier
"Well given the fact that she finds amusement in brick walls" Bela looked around "Which I might add would be a welcome change from the absolutely hideous interior of the motels we've visited"
"You know I can't see how you have so much trouble getting these two to sleep, when you start talking it works like a charm" He grinned at her, Bela rolled her eyes in response
"Come on Bela, we don't have a lot of options right now. You know that, if we settle down again and they find us it just won't be worth the risk" He picked up the handle of Danny's carrier and looked at her seriously
"So how about we just try to make the best out of this situation"
"Where are we headed again?" Bela resigned grabbing her luggage
"Vegas, haunted casino"
"I don't suppose there's any chance that we'll be having any fun while we're there"
"Probably the same amount of fun any parents of one month old twins have. Let's go"
"I don't get the point of it" Dean dropped the rest of their luggage next to the wall of their hotel room. Bela had taken the liberty of booking their lodging this time and she treated them to a nice place for once. She was just hoping that there was a small chance that Dean wouldn't ask where she had gotten the money to book it.
"I'm just saying that it's an idea," Rissy said through a mouthful of chicken lo-mein "We're in Vegas already so why not?"
"It's a little pointless Rissy" Bela chimed in
"We're practically married anyway, tell them Sam"
"If you're basically married already then what's a little piece of paper going to prove" Dean said as he grabbed his container of pork fried rice and sesame chicken and sat next to Bela on the bed
"I don't think there's anything wrong with getting married" Sam shrugged
"Again" Dean added quickly
"That first time didn't count" Rissy jabbed her fork into the air purposefully
"Oh I know this" Dean said with a smirk slowly spreading across his face "Things girls tell themselves the morning after prom" He raised his eyebrows waiting for his joke to land. Sam and Rissy gave Bela identical expressions of a sarcastic "really?" and Sam just shook his head and looked down stabbing a piece of broccoli with his fork.
"Where's Mattie when you need her" Dean grumbled
"Narissa Michelle Winchester" Rissy sighed dreamily "I love the sound of that"
"I do too" Sam leaned over and kissed her on the mouth
"Tomorrow night" she breathed softly before snapping her head in Dean and Bela's direction "Save the date" she commanded
"She's been engaged for thirty seconds and she's already turned into a bridezilla" Bela smirked
"It's going to be so romantic" Rissy smiled ignoring Bela
"Can't think of anything more romantic than getting married in a casino" Dean said sarcastically
"Come on Sam" Rissy said rising from her seat "We have some pre-wedding night practice to do"
"Night guys" Sam said putting his food down on the table and grabbing Rissy's hand.
"Night" Rissy called back to them as they hurried out of the room
"I think I just lost my appetite" Dean said putting his food down next to Sam's
"Likewise" Bela agreed mimicking his action with her own container
"So, now what?" Dean bit his lip seductively at her
"I don't know" Bela stretched and pretended to yawn. "Time for bed?" She smiled teasingly and laid backwards on the bed
Dean lifted her up by her sides and pushed her gently to the top of the bed before lying on top of her. Bela ran her fingers through his hair as they started to kiss. He was reaching down to undo her belt when Danny started to cry.
Dean and Bela exchanged looks of amused frustration before Dean rolled off of her and walked over to the infant in the portable bassinet.
"What in God's name are you eating" Dean grumbled as he lifted his child into his arms
"I'll just leave you to handle that one then" Bela said getting underneath the covers
"Yeah" Dean began muttering something under his breath
"Night Dean"
It wasn't exactly a fairytale wedding, but nobody would be able to convince Rissy of that. Her hair was in a long French braid that reached past the middle of her back, she was wearing a long white dress she had bought from a costume store with Bela earlier that day while Sam and Dean were investigating the staff at the motel. She had Bela buy a short blue sundress because she insisted that she couldn't have a wedding without a maid of honor. It almost looked like a real wedding, the boys were in tuxedos, there was lovely music, and flowers all around. Even the minister almost looked official despite the fact that he had been dressed like John Lennon. Rissy had chosen the Beatles package despite Dean's relentless ridicule. This was the second wedding Bela had witnessed this year, if she didn't think that getting married was completely pointless she may have considered it herself. She watched in awe while Rissy recited her vows until she felt someone's eyes on her. She looked at Dean who had been staring at her and smiling mildly, she could tell that he was thinking the same thing she had been thinking just a moment ago. Mattie gurgled loudly in her car seat making Bela and Dean smile and laugh a little silently.
"Because in the end, I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"
John Lennon concluded happily
"Is he serious?" Dean looked at Rissy incredulously. She shot a look at him with fire burning in her eyes daring him to make another remark. He swallowed hard and looked away.
"Can I uh" Sam started confused "Can I kiss her now?" He asked John Lennon
"Don't ask me man, she's your wife" John Lennon smiled
"Right" Sam tightened his lips and raised his eyebrows. Rissy squealed happily and jumped at Sam who caught her in the air and kissed her passionately.
"Congratulations" Bela smiled patting Rissy on the back
"Welcome to the Winchesters" Dean said dodging one of her legs; which she had shifted to wrap around Sam's waist
"Woah guys save it for the honeymoon" Dean looked at them in disgust
They ignored him and Sam carried her while they were still kissing to the desk where they signed the paperwork, only parting lips to fill out the forms before starting up again
"So what do you think?" Dean asked Bela when they got back to their room
"I think it was a little unorthodox but it was still nice." Bela said absently
"That's not what I mean. We're here in Vegas, you think we should just get it over with?"
"Wow Dean, if you keep romancing me like this I may drag you into bed right now"
"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you Bela" He sighed in frustration
"Is that what you're doing?" Bela smirked
"Should I propose to you?" Dean asked partially to himself
"Not unless you want me to vomit all over your shoes"
"Now that Sam's hitched, we might as well right?"
"What happened to marriage being pointless?"
"Hell, I've been seeing the same woman for a year" He was still talking to himself
"Has it been that long already?"
"We have kids together, I mean we're basically married anyway"
"Dean, are we getting to a point here?"
"Will you marry me Bela?" Dean held her hand gently
"If I do will you stop blathering on to yourself like a maniac?"
"It can be arranged" He grinned
"Fine, I'll marry you" Bela smiled and kissed him
"What do you think?" Dean smiled at Bela excitedly while flipping through the available wedding packages "Robocop" His mouth was in an open smile that almost made his absurd request cute. Almost.
"Absolutely not"
"Oh come on, it would be fun" He insisted rising from his seat imitating a robot "Second request, kiss the bride. You have twenty seconds to comply"
"No" She said firmly
Dean rolled his eyes and sat back down next to her.
"How about this one? It says traditional" She suggested
Dean sighed loudly and took Mattie from Bela's lap. She'd recently picked up the habit of hair pulling and she was just about to wrap her bear trap like grip around a portion of her mother's hair.
"You mean boring." he grumbled as Mattie grabbed at his pointer finger
"How about this, I pick this wedding and when we get out of Vegas we have a real one any way you want"
"Any way I want? Do you promise?" Bela asked intrigued
"Cross my heart"
"Deal. But only if you don't interfere with the budget"
"As long as you aren't doing anything illegal" Dean compromised
"Why did you tell us to meet you here" Rissy asked as she entered the chapel
"We're getting married" Dean said without looking up at them
"AHA!" Rissy exclaimed loudly and pointed at Sam "I told you, you owe me"
"Were you betting on us?" Bela raised an eyebrow at them
"Kind of, Sam just insisted that he knew his brother better than that"
"I thought I did" Sam exhaled in shock
"Yeah I did too." Dean said softly
"We're having a small ridiculous ceremony today and then we're going to have a real one later" Bela explained
"You mean we're having an awesome ceremony today" Dean corrected smiling
"Robocop" he winked at Sam and Rissy
"You have got to be joking" Rissy gasped
"This is coming from you who got married by someone who calls himself the Eggman?" Dean sneered
"How was the honeymoon you too?" Bela changed the subject
"We ganked the hell out of that ghost" Rissy smiled delightfully
"See now it just sounds wrong coming from you" Dean teased
"Shut up roboman"
"Robocop"
"Same thing" She shrugged and picked up Danny who had just woken up from his seat
"Let's just get this over with shall we?" Bela said standing up
"We're going with Robocop then?" Dean smiled from ear to ear
"Whatever" she rolled her eyes
"You're the best wife ever" He kissed her tenderly before leading them to the front desk and ordering their package
