It has been a little over 2 years since the boy's have graduated. Cas had finished the academy last year and was now in his first year as an official police officer. Dean still worked for Mr. Murray at the museum but had been promoted to his assistant, which was a $10 pay raise, so he was now making $20 an hour.
Mary still worked at the hospital and Sam had just finished his junior year of High School. Henry was a rambunctious 3 year old who was still a spitting image of Castiel. He will be attending preschool this fall. Charlie, was in her second year at the University of Kansas for computer science.
Cas fastened his belt on his uniform and closed his locker. "Novak, you're with me today." Simmons said as soon as he walked out of the locker room.
"Yes sir." Cas replied, still hating the 'rookie' stage. He followed Simmons into the conference room where the Captain, the same captain that he had in training, was waiting. He and Simmons had been assigned guard duty for the school system.
"How are you liking it so far?" Simmons asked once they got in his car.
"Good, so far… I'm ready to be on my own and protect." Cas said as he buckled in.
"I get it. I hated the rookie stage too, but from the looks of it you're the youngest to get in the actual field. That's pretty damn good considering the other rooks we have are still on desk duty."
"I have desk duty next week." Cas mentioned. They spent the rest of the ride to the elementary/middle school in silence. Simmons parked the car and they split up, Simmons was on the street for the walkers and Cas was by the school to direct the car flow of parents coming to pick up their kids.
Cas groaned when he saw the blue mini van pull up first in line as usual. "Good afternoon officer Novak." a blond beta with a decent sized chest greeted, hanging half way out the van.
"Afternoon Mrs. Muse." Cas smiled politely and the beta waved him over.
"How's your day going?" She asked once Cas got to her window.
"Good so far, just started."
"Oh, so you won't be off till late tonight. That's a shame. Such a young alpha like you certainly has lots of friends." She said eyeing him up and down.
Letting out a nervous chuckle, "well, not really ma'am. It is a little tough sometimes when I don't get to tuck my son in at night."
"Oh. You have a son? How precious. But my you must of had him young, how old are you dear?" Mrs. Muse asked and Cas detected a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Yes, I was quite young. My mate and I were 17 when he was born." Cas said.
"Oh my." She gasped "well, accidents do happen. What of his mother?"
Cas was getting a little annoyed with the questions but stayed professional. "My mate is a male omega. We're true mates."
"Oh. Well that's rare." Mrs. Muse said as the bell rang, dismissing students.
"Well, I better get to work. Have a good day ma'am." Cas said and walked back up to the cross walk. As soon as the beta's 2 children were safely in the van Cas, waved up the next vehicle.
"Daddy?" Henry asked.
"Yes?" Dean responded and looked up from his phone.
"Can we goes park?" Henry asked.
"Sure thing buddy. Should we go get uncle Sammy?" Dean asked.
"Yeah! An auntie Charwi"
"Alright." Dean chuckled.
Dean carried Henry up the stairs. "Go find Sammy. I'll call Charlie." Dean said as he put Henry down.
"Unca Thammy!" Henry yelled and took off running.
Dean pulled up Charlie's number and hit call, it rang a couple of times before Charlie answered.
"Yo."
"Hey red, Henry wants to know if you want to go to the park with us?" Dean asked.
"You know I can never say no to my nephew." Charlie responded. "I'll meet you there." she said and hung up.
Dean walked into the living room and saw Henry on Sam's lap.
"Unca Thammy, you go to the park?" he asked.
"I don't know buddy, Jess is coming over in a little bit." Sam said.
"Oh. I no like Jess." Henry frowned.
"Hey." Dean said sternly. "Jess is Sam's friend, you need to be nice." he continued, signing as he went. They all had gotten into the habit of signing as they talked so it was easier for Henry to hear and understand.
Henry signed sorry and gave Sam a hug.
"You no come to the park. It's okay." Henry sighed and slid off his uncles lap.
"Come on daddy." Henry said reaching for Dean's hand.
"I'll take you to the park this weekend Henry, I promise!" Sam called after them.
"Okay!" Henry yelled back and squealed when Dean swung him up into his arms.
"Is auntie Charwi coming?" Henry asked once Dean got him buckled in.
"Yes. She'll meet us there." Dean answered.
"YAY!" Henry clapped.
Dean rolled down the windows since it was a nice day and turned up Metallica. Cas didn't like it when Dean played it with Henry in the car but Henry loved it. He may look identical to Cas but he gained Dean's love of music.
Dean pulled up next to Charlie's car and got Henry out of his car seat. "AUNTIE CHARWI!" Henry yelled and ran to the red head.
"Hey bug!" Charlie grinned and scooped him up. "I have something for you." She said and reached into her pocket to pull out a couple toy cars.
"Daddy! Look!" Henry grinned, holding out the two cars.
"Cool." Dean smiled, "better go play with them so you don't hurt Charlie's feelings." he said.
"Okay!" Henry said and squirmed out of Charlie's grip and ran to the sand box.
"What time does Cas get home tonight?" Charlie asked once they sat on a bench near the sand box.
"Probably around midnight." Dean said.
"Oof that sucks." Charlie said.
"Tell me about it. Next week he has desk duty so he'll have morning shift which will be nice. Next month though they're going to move him to night shift."
"Gross." Charlie grimaced.
"Yeah, hey! Don't eat the sand!" Dean yelled when he saw Henry put a handful in his mouth.
"Protein." Charlie laughed.
"Still gross. Wanna have movie night?" Dean asked.
"Sure. I'll order pizza." Charlie shrugged.
