Cas had been off training for about a month now and he was moved to the night shift for the whole month of July. It was difficult the first few weeks getting used to sleeping all day and Dean trying to keep Henry out of the house so Cas could sleep.

Dean finished covering Henry down with sunscreen when Charlie walked through the gate. "Hey guys." she greeted.

"Charwie!" Henry yelled, "you swim?" he asked.

"I am, I brought my swimsuit and everything!" Charlie said and I brought you some cool arm floaties." she dug through her bag and pulled out the floaties covered with the Batman logo.

"Daddy, look!" Henry yelled and thrusted them in Dean's face.

"I see them. They're pretty cool, but what do you say?" Dean said.

"Tank you!" Henry grinned.

"You're welcome." Charlie laughed, "I'm going to go change."

Dean started blowing up the floaties while Charlie went to change. He had on his trunks and a wet shirt. By time Charlie came back out Dean and Henry were already in the pool.

"Auntie Charwie, watch dis!" Henry yelled as Dean put him on the pool deck. Dean counted to three and Henry jumped into his dad's arms.

"That's pretty cool, but watch this!" Charlie smirked and walked around and did a cannon ball into the pool.

"WOAH!" Henry yelled. "Daddy, you do dat!" Henry said.

"Okay, only if you swim to Charlie." Dean said and waved Charlie a little closer. Once she was a few feet away he let go of Henry, who kicked his little legs as hard as he could and moved his arms as well. It took him a little bit but he finally made it to Charlie, a little out of breath.

"Good job!" Dean and Charlie both boasted the pup. Keeping his end of the deal Dean climbed out of the pool and did a cannon ball next to Henry and Charlie splashing them pretty well.

"Daddy!" Henry laughed and splashed him back. Henry swam back and forth between the two, getting better each time, after a while Dean and Charlie started tossing him back and forth. Through the fits of giggles Henry said he wanted to jump off the edge again. Dean put him on the patio and barely got back far enough to catch his son, on the next one, Henry slipped off the patio and fell head first into the pool. Dean and Charlie surged forward and Dean got him upright. Henry started gasping and coughing so Dean leaned him forward on the patio and patted his back.

Henry let out a loud burp and a little bit of water came up with it. "Okay. I think that's enough pool time for the day." Dean said once Henry was calmed down. "It's nap time anyway." Charlie got Henry wrapped up in his towel and was drying him off while Dean put away the few pool toys they had gotten out.

"Alright, let's go take a nap." Dean said after he dried off, Charlie made her way to the bathroom off the living room while Dean and Henry went upstairs.

Dean came back down about 20 minutes later in sweats and a tshirt. "I swear that boy is going to be the death of me someday." Dean sighed as he sat down next to Charlie on the couch.

"Didn't want to take a nap I take it?" Charlie asked.

"No. I had to bribe him with Roadhouse for supper." Dean said while grabbing the remote.

"Hey, has that owner dude come to the gallery yet?" Charlie asked after a while.

"No. Everyone is walking on eggshells and I'm pretty sure Mr. Murray is going to go bald. Not to mention the Galla is this weekend so that adds extra stress to us both." Dean explained.

"That sucks. Is Cas going with you?" She asked.

"Yes, thank god. I don't know if I could go alone after what happened 3 years ago." Dean said fidgeting with the strings on his pants.

"Well at least this time you know Alistair's locked up." Charlie said and pulled Dean into her side. Dean just hummed and ended up falling asleep on her shoulder.

"Hey." Charlie whispered after an hour or so.

"Hmm?" Dean mumbled.

"I think Henry's awake." She said again.

"What?" Dean said and finally woke up.

"Henry's awake I think, I hear little footsteps." Charlie said again.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you like that." Dean said while getting up to go check upstairs.

"It's alright." Charlie shrugged.

It was the night of the gala and Dean was so close to an anxiety attack he almost cancelled. "Dean, you need to be there. Everything is going to be okay, this time I will not leave your side." Cas tried soothing him.

"I know. I just can't stop thinking about last time." Dean said, still pacing the room still not dressed.

"We can leave the moment the auction is done if you want." Cas said and that got Dean to stop pacing.

"Like right after?" he asked.

"I promise, the second the last piece is sold and and Mr. Murray thank everyone we'll leave." Cas said walking up to Dean and pulled him in for a hug.

"Plus, we're still trying for a pup, our cycles were last weekend. If you get through the night, I'll fuck you nice and hard and make you forget the gala even happened." Cas whispered into Dean's ear. Dean felt his face get hot and Cas laughed and pulled back. "Now get dressed." he said and smacked Dean's ass when he turned around.

Dean parked the impala in his reserved spot after they dropped Henry off at Mary's. "It's going to be okay. I promise." Cas said while squeezing Dean's hand after noticing Dean not making any move to get out.

"I know, I just can't stop thinking about last time." Dean mumbled. They sat there for a few minutes before Dean took a deep breath and walked inside before he lost his nerve. Cas quickly caught up to him and took his hand after holding the door open for him.

Soft music played over the speakers and people crowded around the gallery looking at the pieces up for the auction. They found a table in the corner and quickly grabbed it before anyone else could and a waiter came by with two glasses of champagne which they politely turned down. Another waitress walked by with appetizers which they gladly took a couple.

"Are you feeling better?" Cas asked once they found some water.

"A little bit, I'm still on edge and I don't like the fact that my back is open to the crowd." Dean said.

"Well I can see behind you and you're safe." Cas smiled.

"I know, I'd just feel much better if it was against a wall or something." Dean shrugged and bit into one of the appetizers.

They talked amongst themselves when Cas warned Dean that Mr. Murray was coming up behind him. Grateful for the warning because he probably would have had a heart attack when Mr. Murray put his hands on Dean's shoulders.

"There you are! I've been looking for you." Mr. Murray smiled and walked around.

"Yes, sorry having a bit of a rough time." Dean confessed.

"Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that, I'm assuming it has to do with the events after the last galla?" Mr. Murray said and Dean just nodded.

"Well, I assure you I've had the security doubled." he winked, "Castiel, it's good to see you." he turned his attention away from Dean.

"You as well sir." Cas said and shook his hand.

"Dean tells me you're a police officer now. Congratulations." Mr. Murray grinned.

"Yes, thank you. I've had my heart set on it since high school." Cas responded. While talked for a few minutes, Dean surveyed the crowd. He noticed a lot of their regular visitors and a lot of new comers. Dean secretly hoped his things went fairly high, not necessarily for selfish reasons but with house payments and the possibility of a new pup, they were going to need some extra cash flow.

"Well Dean, good luck on the auction tonight. I suppose I better continue my rounds. Enjoy the evening you two." Mr. Murray said and walked to the next table.

"Do you want to walk around a bit?" Cas asked.

"You can. I'm okay right here." Dean said still watching the crowd.

"Well then so am I." Cas said and shot a wink towards Dean who just raised an eyebrow.

By time the auction began Dean was beyond ready to go home, he was tired, he missed sleeping next to Cas and his anxiety was still on high. Cas convinced him to go toward the crowd for the auction. He had 5 pieces up for sail, 3 pictures and 2 paintings and ended up getting 3,000 total.

"Okay, can we go now?" Dean asked once the final item sold at the auction.

"Of course. A promise is a promise." Cas nodded. They started weaving through the sea of people to get to the door but multiple people stopped to congratulate Dean and tell him how talented he was.

"Thank you." Dean would say and give a small smile but on the inside he was just ready to get the fuck out of there. They got almost to the door when Mr. Murray found them.

"There you are!" He said slightly out of breath. "Fantastic job tonight Dean, I'm proud of you." He smiled and shook his hand.

"Thank you sir." Dean mumbled.

"Are you leaving?" He asked.

"Yes sir, not feeling very well." Cas said covering for Dean.

"Oh, sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't the food." Mr. Murray frowned.

"No sir, just a bad headache." Cas reassured him.

"Oh, very well. I hope you feel better, see you Tuesday Dean." Mr. Murray said and vanished into the crowd.

"You didn't have to cover for me back there." Dean said on the way to the impala.

"I know." Cas said and they didn't say anything else about it.

Once they got home they went straight upstairs, taking their suit jackets off as they went. Dean felt 1,000 times more relaxed now that he was home and he just felt tired now. Dean came out of the bathroom after taking his contacts out and found Cas naked on the bed.

"Well hello to you too." he chuckled.

"I made a promise and I intend to keep it." Cas said and wiggled his finger for Dean to come closer. Dean stripped his clothes, slid into bed and curled right up into Cas' side.
