Sam was awakened by a gentle nudge followed by a hard hit to the stomach. At first he was getting into defensive mode until he remembered where he was and that these were most likely from his newly found niece and nephew. He had known about them for a little while, but it never quite hit him until he saw them. What a handful the two of them must be for Missouri he thought to himself. Then he shot up and grabbed Hunter and started to tickle him. Then Riley tried to come to the aid of her brother but was also quickly defeated by Sam. Missouri had entered the room after she heard the commotion.

Sam- "What are you doing here? I thought you went to your place last night."

Missouri- "I did but I decided that with you and Dean these two would never get fed. And Kat is in no better shape plus I figured that she and Dean would need their rest. I take it they are together?"

Sam- "Yeah. And I think that I could have made them breakfast!"

Missouri- "Sure, you keep telling yourself that. Do you even have any idea what they would even eat?"

Sam- "Well no, but I could have tried."

Missouri- "And they would have talked you into giving them candy or something."

Then Missouri looked over at the two kids who were still giggle and trying to sneak up behind Sam.

Missouri- "Okay, let's go get you two ready for the day and then we can get mommy and daddy up."

Both of them just nodded and began to follow Missouri until they saw Kat.

Riley- "Mommy!" and she ran over to her and gave her a big hug.

Kat- "Hey, I thought I heard you guys up. You weren't giving Uncle Sam or Missouri are hard time were you?"

Sam- "Nope, they've been great. You look like you've been run over!"

Kat- "Gee Sam, you certainly have a way with words."

Sam- "That's not what I meant…How's Dean?"

Kat- "Sleeping."

Missouri- "Okay, let's get some breakfast and we'll wake his lazy butt up later."

With that they all head downstairs as Missouri started making breakfast. Sam sat with the kids and they were watching TV. Meanwhile, Kat was upstairs watching Dean sleep. He looks so peaceful she thought. To think this is what I could have had, funny, it's not what I would have expected she thought. That was one of the best night's sleep I've had in a long time. What is it about him that makes me feel so safe and right. Damn, Dean, you always do this! Why does it always go like this?

Just then Dean rolled over onto his side, went a little to far, and feel off of the bed with a loud thump. She couldn't help but let out a laugh until she saw Dean's face. The fall had caught him off guard quite a bit and for a minute Kat was really worried about him. But then when he struggled to get up and she went over to help, he pushed her away.

Kat- "Fine if you wanna be "Mr. Macho Man" then let it be." As she said this she pushed him back down.

Dean- "Ow, what are you doing?"

Kat- "Oh sorry, I forgot about the leg, are you okay?" she had real concern in her eyes.

Dean- "Yeah, you know, I don't think I would mind that hand right about now." he reached out his hand.

Kat- "Okay, here you go…" she reached out her hand, Dean grabbed it and puller her down into his lap.

Dean- "Well, what help are you?"

Kat- "Hey, you're the one that pulled me down here you jerk."

Dean- "That's a complete change from last night. If I remember correctly, which I do, you were all about being totally in love with me." He said this last part with his typical smirk. "The ever charming Mr. Dean Winchester strikes again, stealing another heart, and keeping it this time!"

Kat starting to get up- "Okay Romeo. We better get down there before they wonder what happened to us."

Sam was standing at the doorway smiling at his "graceful" brother and Kat. He saw once again as she was starting to get up, that he pulled her down again and pulled her into a kiss. She didn't fight but then they heard Sam clear his throat. Both looked over at him like he was a jealous boyfriend or something that had caught them in a dirty act.

Kat- "See I told you they would wonder where we were. Come on "Mr. Charming" we have some stuff to do."

And with that the three of them went down to eat breakfast and get some information from Missouri.


They were all sitting at the table eating breakfast and then they started talking about the case. Hunter was constantly staring at Dean and trying to act just like him and Riley wouldn't leave Sam's side. Kat and Missouri just laughed a little at how much the two boy were being admired and then Missouri figured it was time to get into this job.

Missouri- "Well apparently there have been attacks on random people at night all happening around the high school."

Kat- "What kind of attacks?"

Missouri- "Well each person starts out by saying that they were being circled by a group of four boys. And then the claim that they were attacked and that the last thing they always remembered were the boys turning into dogs."

Sam- "Well that certainly isn't normal."

Hunter- "So, mom are you going to beat them up and then kill them?" he said it like it was nothing and with a bit of pride in voice.

Sam and Dean just looked over at him. They were shocked at first that Missouri and Kat were even talking about the case in front of the kids and then at the fact that they kids didn't seem bothered about it. Plus Hunter made it sound like such a good thing that his mom would stop this thing.

Kat noticed the boys looks- "I always figured that it was easier for them to know the truth than hide them from it. Hunter always wanted to be like his dad from the stories he heard. He really admires you even though he just actually met you."

This made Dean smile but then he got serious all of a sudden.

Dean- "Are you sure it's best for them to know?"

Kat- "It was either that or they would be in more danger by not knowing. Any way let's get this job over with."

Missouri- "It seems as though the boys were acting different after visiting the zoo on a class field trip. They went into one of the new exhibits that they weren't suppose and started acting more dangerous and rude."

Sam- "So something most have happened in the exhibit."

Dean- "Well, then let's get going over to that zoo and check it out."

Dean started to get up and grabbed his crutches. He was heading up stairs to get cleaned up for the day so that he could work his charm and hopefully get some information. Missouri, Sam, and Kat all exchanged glances and finally Kat spoke up.

Kat- "What do you think you're doing?"

Dean- "What do you mean? I'm going to go and get ready to figure this out."

Sam- "No you're not. Dude, no offense but you're not going to be that much help out there with your hop-along condition."

Dean- "Hey, I can handle myself let's go."

Kat- "No, you're staying here and watching the kids. Sam and I will go and check it out. It looks like it will be a pretty cut and dry job and I think we can handle it."

Dean- "Fine, but I don't think that you should be doing anything either. The doctors said that you were suppose to take it easy for a while and rest. You're worse off then me!"

Kat- "Oh please. I think I'm old enough to handle myself and I am way to quick for you at the moment."

Sam- "Okay so let's get ready and head over to that exhibit."

They started to get up and put their plates into the sink. Sam helped Riley and Hunter out to reach the sink and then offered to help Dean but was declined. Hunter was following Dean around everywhere he went. Missouri took the kids into the living room and turned on the TV as Kat and Sam got ready for their research. Dean had followed Kat up to her room.


Kat was getting some clothes together and putting up her hair and Dean was just watching.

Dean- "Are you sure you feel up to this. I mean, again it's not like Sam can't handle this on his own. You

still look a little pale and it's obvious that the shoulder is still causing problems."

Kat- "Would you stop worrying so much! It's not like you at all. Plus it will go faster if the two of us are working on it. What are you afraid to stay here with the kids?"

Dean- "No, I just don't want anything happening to you or Sam."

Kat- "Don't worry."

Dean- "Sure, but just promise me that you'll be carefully and won't do anything idiotic."

Kat- "Don't worry, I won't act like you." she said that with a playful smirk.

Dean stood up and hobbled over to her and put his arms around her waist. Usually she would have smacked him for that and then gave a lecture but it felt so right. He was whispering very kind gentle words into her ear and then turned her around and they embraced in a deep kiss.


After they were ready Sam, Kat, and Dean headed downstairs to make sure they had everything and then they were to head off.

Missouri- "You two be careful. And you (she said this to Dean) stay here and don't go running after them."

Dean- "I wasn't going to."

Missouri- "But you were thinking it!"

Kat, Missouri, and Sam just laughed at Dean's expense and then opened the door towards the impala.

Dean- "You two keep me updated! And be careful!"

Sam- "We will don't worry and don't fall or anything!"

And with that Sam plopped down on the driver's seat and started the car. Kat slid into the passenger seat and looked back at Dean and just winked at him as they drove off towards the zoo.

Missouri- "Well, child, I have to go and do some things today. Do you think you can handle the kids?"

Dean- "Of course. How hard can it be? They're only four!"

Missouri- "What ever you want to think. Do you eve know how you were at four? You certainly were a handful!"

Dean- "Hey, I wasn't that bad. "

And with that Missouri headed out the door shaking her head, knowing that Dean had no idea what he was in for.
