In Their Beginning

Conclusion

Missy met them at the cottage on their return, Sam was the first one she saw when she opened the door. He came in the door, picked her up and twirled her around the room. Cassie laughed when she walked in to see them. Dean carried her bags to her bedroom, but before he could leave the room again Cassie met him at the door.

"Let's stay in here a while they're busy," she smiled.

He nodded as she sat down on the bed.

"How long can you stay?" she asked without looking at him.

He knew she was disappointed and sad but willing to accept her fate. He sat down beside her to look in her face, though they weren't touching as they sat awkwardly at first then he cupped her face in his hands.

"You know I love you?" he asked.

She nodded as she bit her lip.

"How long?"

"A few days, two or three maybe."

He pushed her onto the bed and looked down at her. How long until she gives up on me? How long until she finds a man with a regular job who stays at home? Feeling a bit desperate because of his thoughts he kissed her more roughly than he intended and she cried out in pain.

"Dean?"

He looked at her like he didn't realize what he had done before she pushed him off her. She backed up toward the headboard as she put her arms around herself protectively. He sat on the edge of the bed as he ran his hands through his hair.

"I'm sorry," was all he said before he left the room.

He had to get a grip he was the one who insisted she come back home not her. She had begged to stay with them. Whatever choices she made would be his fault, his pushing her away for her own sake, his withholding his emotions from her despite how he loved her, his not knowing how to express himself effectively, all his fault. He took a walk around the block fully aware it was not a good way to deal with things. He sat down on a bench in the park down the street from the cottage only to see Cassie determinedly walking toward him. She sat down beside him.

"Listen."

He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees.

"I'm not happy about this but I'll be fine. You just go kick some demon ass and don't worry about me being angry with you, because I'm not."

She put her arms around him with the hope that whatever he needed to hear but had not been said would be expressed as she held him. He was still quiet which bothered her.

"Tell me what's wrong, please," she whispered in his ear.

"I don't know if I can do this," he said with his head still down.

Cassie raised his chin so she could see his sad eyes and they almost broke her heart.

"Do what?"

"Be the husband you deserve," he said as he removed himself from her arms and walked farther into the park as she watched shaking her head. Help him Lord, please help him to know my heart is with him, only. When he hadn't returned in twenty minutes she went to look for him. She found him sitting not far from the bench under a tree. Probably to watch over me. She sat down beside him.

Without preamble he said, " One day you will wake up and realize that I'm not the kind of man you want," he said as he looked in her eyes.

"Dean, you are everything I desire and more, you are a freaking super hero going around saving people. I am negligent for not showing you how proud I am of what you do and who you are. Sometimes I am afraid some damsel in distress may steal you away from me, buy I am fully aware of being a very blessed woman," she said with a grin.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"You love me faults and all?" he asked as he pulled her into his arms with a big smile on his face.

"Seriously, were you at our wedding? I recall that till death do us part thing pretty clearly. No one is perfect, Baby, I am certainly not but I know we love one another and we can make this work."

"I really want that I love you and I don't want to lose you."

They sat in silence for a while as they just enjoyed being together before they headed back to the cottage.

That night while Dean slept she counted his scars as she tried hard not to fret over them. She stopped at fifteen good sized ones before she realized he was watching her.

"I didn't mean to wake you."

He ran his fingers down her face but didn't comment. They watched one another again in silence for a few minutes, then she kissed him long and deep. He held her head over his as he responded readily, eagerly, greedily; it was the kind of kiss that inspired vigorous lovemaking.

After several months of bi monthly visits to see the girls; Dean and Sam decided to show up unannounced. Sam dropped Dean off at the administration building as he went to see Missy at her job. Dean heard Cassie laughing as soon as he was near the office where she worked part time when not working on articles for the paper. He saw a young brunette man sitting on the end of her desk who looked a lot like Sam. He had longish dark brown hair and had a slim but toned build. Cassie was facing the young man because she appeared to be working on the computer. She smiled and laughed as he talked to her using a lot of hand gestures. She seemed a bit to happy for Dean and he thought about just leaving before she called out his name.

"Dean?"

"Hi Baby," he said as walked cockily around the corner..

He walked into the office as she smiled at him excitedly.

"What a wonderful surprise," she said as she got up to hug him and the young man removed himself from her desk.

"Hi, I'm Dennis, you must be Dean, Cassie talks about you almost none stop," the young man said as he reached to shake Dean's hand.

Cassie grinned at Dean as she stared at his toned chest in the tight t-shirt he wore. She licked her lips unconsciously while her mind wandered to the way he filled out his tight jeans; but Dean didn't see the desire in his wife's eyes because he was too concerned with the distraction in her office.

Dean took the hand guardedly, " Nice to meet you," he said as though he might mean it but probably not.

"Dennis is going to be helping me for a while; doing some filling because it so backed up I never have time to get to it," Cassie added as she tried to change her focus.

"Well if you need help its good they are getting it for you," he stated.

Missy worked at a dress shop off campus part time she was delighted to see Sam as he walked in pretending to be a customer. The sales girl that was by the door practically drooled when he walked in. His slim but muscular frame filled the doorway as it blocked the sun from the small shop. Missy let her help him for a few moments before going over to assert her rights.

"Jennifer this is my boyfriend, Sam, he is here to see me," she said to the slim blonde who walked away unhappy that the hottie was taken.

Sam grinned ear to ear excited to see his auburn haired lady. Missy took his hand and guided him out the door.

"It's close enough to my break and I am glad because I really need a kiss," she said as her green eyes darkened while she grinned up at him as he obliged her request.

They left after visiting a few days but Cassie never mentioned that she had been nauseous and throwing up almost daily.

"Cas, you have to tell him he is your husband."

"I know tell me something I don't know ….besides what if he thinks I got pregnant on purpose because I want him at home?"

"He won't feel that way; Dean loves you."

"How do you know how he will feel? I am married to him and I am unsure."

"Damn it, Cassie you are being selfish; if you don't tell him I will," Missy insisted angry with her friend for being so pig headed.

Cassie glared at her from across the living room as Missy sat on the sofa.

"Don't you dare curse at me, Melissa Jean Farrell, besides how is not telling him selfish?" Cassie asked.

"Because…you aren't sharing the news with the other important person in the equation."

Cassie was quiet; she knew Missy was right. Dean should know and the longer she waited to tell him the worse his reaction would be, besides making the paternity suspect. She really hoped he didn't freak out. She touched her still flat stomach as she dialed his number.

The End.
