Chapter 52

"Here ya go squirt." Dean said pushing a piece of pie in front of Danny who's eyes got wide with delight.

"You do know what sugar does to a kid don't ya Dee?" Sam asked as he speared a piece of fruit and popped it in his mouth.

"Awe Sammy, look how much he likes it." Dean complained as he took a bite of his own pie.

"It's good Sam." Danny added spooning some in his mouth and sighing in contentment.

"I didn't think I would see someone who enjoyed pie as much as you do." Bobby chuckled as he watched both boys enjoying their dessert. "At least the kid's not making out with his piece."

"Hey! It's homemade and to die for." Dean fussed. He took another bite and moaned softly as it melted in his mouth and the flavor exploded on his taste buds.

Danny giggled as he copied Dean with his next bite making Sam laugh out loud at his antics.

"You're a bad influence on our brother."

"I'm just teachin' him 'bout the better things in life."

"You guys finish up, I think my motel bed is callin' to me." Bobby told them ready to relax in his room.

"You heard the old man, eat up." Dean told Danny and Sam as he popped his last bite into his mouth.

Bobby caught the waitress's attention and motioned for the check. He reached into his pocket for some money when Sam pushed two twenties in front of him.

"What that's for?"

"To pay for the meal." Sam said getting up. "I'm going to the restroom, Danny you need to go?"

"Y'h." he said with a mouth full of pie.

"How 'bout swallowin' before you talk?"

"Sorry." he said wiping his mouth on the sleeve of his shirt before following Sam much to Bobby's dismay.

"I can't take his money." Bobby told Dean pushing the money away.

"Might as well take it, he's more stubborn than I am." Dean shrugged pushing it back toward him.

Bobby huffed to himself and put the two twenties with a five with the check and got up to leave. Dean slid out of the booth and followed him to the front to wait for Sam and Danny. He couldn't believe how fortunate he was not only finding his little brother but getting another in the process. Danny seemed like an ok kid and he could see Sam's influence in him.

"We're ready." Sam announced getting his attention.

"Let's go then." he said holding the door for his brothers. He followed them out and to the Impala and got in waiting for everyone to buckle up before heading for the motel.

"I've got a room beside your's if ya need anythin'." Bobby told the boys.

"We should be fine." Dean said accepting the key. "See ya in the morning. C'mon you two let's get settled for the night, I'm ready for some sleep."

Dean opened the door to their room and did a quick check before letting Sam and Danny enter. He put his bag on the bed closest to the door and double locked the door behind them.

"I'm going to grab a quick shower, Danny why don't you brush your teeth and use the bathroom and change into pajamas first." Sam told them opening his bag to get sleep clothes and his bathroom bag.

"Okay." he said digging around in his bag for his toothbrush. "I forgot my toothpaste."

"You can use mine." Sam offered pulling his from the bag.

"Thanks, I won't be long."

"You ok sleeping with Danny?" Dean asked dropping to his bed and grabbing the remote to turn on the TV.

"Yeah, he use to climb in my bed when he was little."

"So when is your appointment with this judge?"

"Day after tomorrow at ten am."

"So we have tomorrow to mess around then."

"I guess, I need to go to the bank tomorrow, other than that, we can do whatever."

"I'm done." Danny announced plopping down on the empty bed and checking out what Dean was watching on the television.

"Alright, maybe we can catch a movie or something."

"Sounds like fun and there's a nice park with picnic tables and a mini golf course and batting cages. We could grab some lunch and eat there, check them out."

"Whatever ya wanna do." he grunted finally settling on an action movie.

"Ok."

"Dean can I ask you somethin'?" Danny asked rolling to his stomach and looking at Dean.

"I guess kid."

"You'll let Sam come and see me won't you?"

"Sure kid, whenever we're nearby we'll stop and see ya."

"Can I come visit you guys?"

"We'll see, let's take it a step at a time." he cautioned knowing they couldn't explain Bobby's place to the boy, but he didn't want to discourage him either.

"Ok." he said seeming satisfied with the answer. "Wow! Look at that car crash, he took out three more cars."

"You like action movies?"

"Yeah, and Jurassic Park, I love dinosaurs. Oh and the Indiana Jones movies."

"Yeah, they're pretty good. What else do you like to do?"

"I play soccer like Tr...Sam and I like to hike and build models and draw and read..." he rattled on bouncing on the bed as Dean let him talk.

"That's gooood kid." Dean yawned trying to stay awake until Sam was finished in the bathroom.

"Where did ya get your car? It's old isn't it? Do you work on it?..."

"Sammy was right, shouldn't of given ya that pie with ice cream." Dean mumbled as he listened to the questions Danny was throwing at him so fast he couldn't answer them. But it didn't seem to matter to Danny that Dean wasn't answering his questions, he just kept asking them as Dean did his best to keep his tired eyes open and pretend to be listening.

"What ya watching?" Sam asked coming out of the bathroom towel drying his hair.

"C'mon Sam, you should see the car wrecks." Danny said scooting over so Sam could join him on the bed.

Dean pulled himself from his bed and rummaged in his bag for his bathroom bag before stumbling toward the bathroom door.

"Can ya hang this up for me?" Sam asked tossing his towel at his brother smacking him in the face.

"Sorry." he shrugged.

Dean grumbled under his breath something about respect for his elders as he pulled the towel off his shoulder and headed on into the bathroom closing the door behind him with a thump.

"I like Dean." Danny told Sam scooting closer to him.

"I'm glad. I think he likes you too." Sam replied bumping his shoulder with Danny's. "I'm glad you two are getting alone."

"He's cool and drives a bad ass car."

"Danny! Language!" Sam said in shock.

"Dad says it when he thinks I'm not listening, especially when he watches the races." Danny explained with a shrug.

Sam rolled his eyes and shook his head. Danny was right, he had heard Joshua talking about the race cars and other sports like that. He never knew either of them were listening to his interaction with the television.

"So will you have like two adopted Dads now?" he questioned.

"You know, I guess I will, Bobby is like a father to Dean, so I'm sure he'll be the same to me and then I have Josh. Guess I'm actually lucky in a way."

"I'm glad you came back even if it's not for long."

"You know I would never forget you and would make sure we could stay in contact. You're my little brother, you'll always have a place in my life."

"I know." he said looking up as Dean strolled back into the room dressed in sleep clothes.

"Here, I'm call it a night." Dean told them handing Sam the remote that was still laying on his bed before turning it back to get in. "See ya in the morning."

"'Nite Dee." Sam and Danny said in unison.

Dean looked at the two shaggy haired boys sitting on the bed looking at him waiting for an answer. He chuckled to himself before responding.

"'Nite guys, don't stay up too late." he told them before slipping under the covers and settling down. He was asleep within minutes, letting the soft drone of the television and his brothers giggling and whispers send him into dreamland.

Sam turned the television down so not to disturb Dean and the two brothers whispered softly between themselves as the program played on in the background.
