I'm discharged from the hospital 3 days later and Paul was given the clear earlier than that. I follow Dean out of the hospital and I see the impala idling.

I give Dean a look "it's safe, the car seat is strapped in the way it's suppose to.."

"We're switching cars when we get home" I smile sweetly at home and head towards the car

"Sorry baby" I hear Dean murmur to his car as he opens the back door for us to get in.

We pull up to the bunker and he parks outside. He helps us out of the car and we walk inside "welcome home!" A bunker full of people yell at us when we step through. I step back startled with my mouth gaped open and I turn to Dean.

His smile is wider then I've ever seen it before "welcome home, baby" he kisses me on the head and then kisses Paul "welcome home, son"

I walk slowly down the stairs as everyone lines up to see the baby, people I've never met.

"Hayden, Charlie. Charlie, Hayden" Dean says as I come to a red haired, fresh faced woman.

"The infamous Charlie!" I smile to her as we hug, remembering the stories Sam and Dean shared.

"Infamous? Oh please, all lies.." She laughs back when we release. "May I?" She squeaks opening her hands a little to hold him. I nod and slowly pass Paul over. She rocks him and I move on to meet another person.

"Oh I don't know how you did it, but you made this one here" an older woman points to Dean "quiet the man" and opens her arms.

"Sheriff Jodi mills" Dean blushes at the compliment.

The name registers with me and I give her another hug before they she let go of me. She looks at me with a smile and confused eyes "I hope you know, your like a mother to them" I whisper in her ear. Her eyes soften and she smiles back.

I move on to the last strange face and a thin man smiles wide "this is Garth" Dean introduces us

"Garth? As in.." I begin to ask

"One in the same, come here and give me a big ole hug!" A country twang emits from his mouth as he embraces me. He hugs me tighter than I anticipated for him being so small.

"Hi" I choke out "it's nice to meet you!" I say after he lets go

"Oh shucks" he smiles to me "I know your nervous about me being a werewolf, I'll stay away from your little booger to ease your nerves" he says

"Nonsense. It's fine" Dean adds in.

I confirm "it's fine, Dean trusts you, so I do too!" I smile back

I move over to the last one in line, Sam. I give him a big hug before he can finish even opening his arms. Dean hugs his brother after I do "thanks man, this was really nice of you" he turns his attention to everyone "to all of you"

"Well, there's more to it then just a party." Sam speaks up

"A newborn is a lot of work, your gonna need some help!" the sheriff says smiling passing our son over to Garth

"Anndddddd we've got some heavy research to do.." Charlie adds in

"Research?" I ask not following

"If the baby does have the mark, we want to find a way to remove it from him." Sam adds

"Oh. Right" I say remembering. The mark of Cain is still shadowing our world

Garth steps up next to me and hands Paul to Dean and speaks to us "don't you worry about a thang, we got this"

"Thank you all so much. I don't know what else to say. I'm truly touched" I try to express my gratitude

"We both are" Dean adds in. "We'll see you guys soon. We're gonna go try and put Paul down for some sleep" Dean smiles down at me and I smile back at him as he wraps his arm around my shoulder.

"Thank you" I tell everyone again before we turn to leave.

We walk into our bedroom and I feed him. After he goes straight to sleep. Dean has been sitting on the bed waiting. I walk over and sit next to him after gently placing Paul in the bassinet.

"Heya mom" he smiles at me when I crawl into his arms. I sit with my back against his chest and he wraps his arms around me.

"Hi dad" I smile back to him embracing his strong arms. We sit in silence for just a few minutes, our breathing becoming one as we watch our son sleep. Eventually I turn my head up to face his "this is a bit overwhelming, having everyone here" I admit to him

"Ya I know what you mean. But it'll be nice to have the help" he says back to me

I nod my head agreeing "should we go back out there?"

"First" he says then grabs my face and pulls me in for a tight lipped kiss "I'm so glad your okay, I can't do this without you. I love you" he says staring with his forest green eyes into my soul.

"I love you Dean Winchester" I say back pulling him in for one more kiss.

We pull out the baby monitor, turn it on and walk out hand in hand to join everyone else.

We walk into the room and I take a quick look around.. Garth, Sam, and Jodi are talking to each other over beers by the door, smiling and laughing. Charlie is over at the table sitting on a computer. Dean lets go of my hand and walks towards the group of 3, he turns to me "you coming?"

"I'll be there in a few" I tell him. I walk over towards Charlie. "Hey, what are you doing over here?" I smile to her moving around to her side and sitting

"You and this baby are the best thing to happen to Dean. I'm not going to let some mark of monster ruin it. I'm researching" she cocks her head to me.

Determined. Passionate. Loyal. She's even more awesome then Dean described. I smile a genuine smile to her "thank you" I whisper out. She takes her hand off of the keyboard and places it on mine and smiles back.

"So what are you doing?" I look at the computer, a black screen with green lettering flowing over sentence by sentence emits back to us.

She puts her hand back to the keyboard and types frantically "I'm hacking a government server"

"Why?" I ask in return, of course I know Charlie is a hacker but there doesn't seem to be a reason in my eyes to hack the government.

"Government hides everything. Area 51, 9/11, I'm sure they have some kind of research or old book that could help us!" Her eyes open wide and she nods her head vigorously towards me.

"Your probably right" I say back. Although I don't think the government knows anything about demons, if they are hiding something, Charlie can find it. I notice her beer is almost empty "can I get you another?" I ask her.

"Sure" she hands it over to me whilst still typing. I take the beer and place it on another table while walking over to the cooler to get her a fresh one. I bring it over to her and walk over to where Sam is.

"So you really think we can find something?" I ask him

"We have too.." He says encouraging me.

"Thanks for all of this" I say in between a yawn.

"Maybe you should go take a nap? You seem pretty tired" Sam suggests

"As soon as my eyes shut I'm sure Paul will wake up for a feeding.. Maybe after he goes down next"

I tell him, yawning again.

Dean walks over with the monitor "he's up" he smiles to me

"See?" I turn with a smile of my own to Sam. "Time to go." I begin to walk off and Dean follows, I turn to him "you can stay, I'm just gonna take a nap when he's done. I'm so tired!" I tell him

"It's alright, I want to come" his smile is crooked and his eyes glow. I shrug and we walk to the room.

"Hey little hungry hungry hippo!" Dean picks him up rocking him. I adjust my top, sitting down, and he hands him to me gently. After a few moments Paul is feeding and were sitting in silence. "I don't know how you do it.." Dean whispers out

"Mmmmm" I look to him

He grins "you're perfect." I roll my eyes "you're perfect" he says again holding my hand

"It's not me.. It's us.." I say back

"Family" he returns.

"Family" I echo his words

When Paul is finished he goes back to sleep easily and I lay down to take a nap. Dean kisses me on the forehead and leaves the room. I get about an hour and a half nap before he wakes up again. He doesn't seem to want to feed so I just bring him out with me.

"He won't feed" I smile walking out.

"Little man!" Sam hollers out walking over to take him from me.

"Castiel should be here" I tell Dean when I get over to him. Dean shakes his head. "Dean, I remember that night.. If he wasn't there, I may not be here"

"I know, I just.." He doesn't finish his sentence

"Look at this" I gesture towards everyone on the floor, laughing and talking together "like we said before, family. And he is family" I put my hand on his shoulder. He nods his head agreeing but doesn't move. I pull out my phone and dial the number of the cell phone he was given when he had no grace.

"Hello Hayden" he answers on the third ring

"Castiel, what are you doing? Can you come by the bunker?" I ask him

He hesitates before responding "is Dean okay with that?" He finally asks

"He's fine with it" I tell him. Dean stands awkwardly next to me but doesn't stop me.

"Hello" I hear doubled. I turn around and jump back slightly startled "I'm going to hang up now" he says when I face him. I smile and hang up the phone.

I lean in and give him a hug "thank you.. Thank you for saving me" I pull away and he has a side smile

"It was nothing" he says back

"No it wasn't. I used your grace to pull her back from the blade and you didn't have to stay.. Thank you" Dean steps in. Castiel looks at Dean and nods, Dean then opens his arms to his old friend and they embrace in a hug. They let go and Dean pulls me in for another hug with the 2 of them. Castiel barely hugs us back and Dean laughs when he lets go.

"It's good to see you Cas!" Sam walks over passing a beer over his way.

"You too" Sam acknowledges passing on the beer.
