CHAPTER 7
The weekend came to an end. All the three Winchesters enjoyed very much. On Saturday night , they had a movie night though to Dean's dismay they had to watch a kid's friendly movie which meant freaking Disney but all in all , they all had a good time. On Sunday, now instead of Sam Dean took the kid to the park. Dean figured his brother could get some much needed me time. He played catch with DJ just like his father used to play with him when he was little and his mom was alive and he used to play with Sam when they were kids. If his dad was here even he could agree the kid looked just like Sam when he was three.
On the way back much to DJ's delight he got a piggy back ride from his uncle. Dean spent the whole day playing with his nephew or coloring with him or watching another Disney movie and he didn't even mind the Disney if it meant the kid was happy. The sunday night ended with a delicious Dean's special pasta.
He was enjoying himself. He knew at some point he had to go to his own place but for now he could enjoy. He wished they could all live together like a family. He would discuss it with Sam whenever he could get a perfect opportunity.
It was Monday now , the beginning of a week and for Sam , the day he was dreading.
As he was getting ready for the one job he still had , he was making a mental check list , as soon as his shift was over , he would go look for a couple of jobs , he cannot just make it with one. He needed two jobs to pay rent , water and electricity bill and DJ's daycare bills and then there were grocery bills , god the list kept going on and on.
After Sam was ready , he came out of his room and saw his brother making breakfast of what looked like cheese omelets. Dean had took upon cooking himself and for that Sam was immensely grateful. He had noticed Dean had gone grocery shopping too and while he could thank his brother for replenishing his meager supplies he knew Dean would become uncomfortable so he didn't. Instead he showed his gratitude by cleaning dishes after every meal and praising the food that his brother made which didn't even require any effort as his brother was one heck of a cook.
"Good morning, Dean." Sam said greeting his brother. "Good morning , Sammy. Food is just about ready. " After a few fruitless efforts Sam had eventually given up on the task of pointing his brother every time he used his childhood name. If Dean wanted to call him 'Sammy' there is nothing stopping him.
After they all had breakfast , Sam went to pick up his son so that he can drop him to the daycare while he went to work. Only to be stopped by Dean again.
"Hey , the kid can stay with me , man. I had to go meet a car dealer for some engine parts. He can come with me."
"You don't have to Dean. Its alright." Sam said. "Nope , Sam. I don't mind besides I want to spend as much time with him as I can before I leave."
Sam hadn't thought about that. Ofcourse , Dean had to leave. It has been only three days since Dean came into their lives and everything was working as smoothly as if Dean has always been here. He didn't want his brother to leave. Just having Dean near gave him much needed supoort. Because of Dean he knew there is someone out there on whom he could count on to look after DJ , he didn't felt that lonely either.
But he would think about that in the evening and over a couple of beers.
"Okay , thanks Dean." He said. "Don't thank me every time I look after the kid besides he is a cool kid way cooler than you, when you were at his age. Guess he gets all that from his uncle." Dean said interrupting him and giving his best cocky smile.
To that Sam just laughed and after giving a quick kiss to his son , he made his way out of the apartment.
"All right , how about you watch some cartoons while I go make some calls." Dean put on cartoons for the kid and went ahead to do some business.
He was in need of an engine part for a classic that he wasn't able to find anywhere until now. Apparently , the guy he was about to meet is the only one who deals in the manufacturing of these parts and Dean wanted to order in bulk to just be on the safe side in future. He hated dealing with the guys all dressed in monkey suits sitting in glass buildings but he had no choice in this case. He needed the parts urgently. Remodeling of four cars were halted because he couldn't find the parts until now.
After he got an appointment for 11 he made his way out to check on his nephew. Who needs an appointment to just order a piece of engine ? But some people apparantly needed. Dean thought frowning.
It was about 10:30 , he figured if they were to leave now they will be able to reach by 11. Yeah , Dean Winchester following rules , you can just tell how desperate he was.
Dean and DJ reached the Gilford Classic Manufacturing at about 10:55. The building was made of glass and exactly the type Dean hated.
He took DJ's hand in his and they made their way towards the entrance. At the reception they were greeted by a pretty brunette who pointed them to meet someone by the name of Mr. Crowley.
Mr. Crowley was a short man with an annoying accent. He was dressed in a black suit and everything about the man was screaming "fake" to Dean. He looked like a typical salesman who would do anything to score himself a sale.
Dean and DJ entered Crowley's cabin. DJ was looking around in pure childlike curiosity. The man shook hands with Dean and they were seated at a large glass table facing eachother.
There was a bowl of mint and jolly rancher candies on the table. DJ's eyes caught on it but he looked at his Uncle asking for permission. His daddy had said "don't eat anything outside without permission."
Dean looked at the kid but before he could say anything , Crowley in his fake honey dripping tone pushed the bowl towards DJ saying , "Go on kiddo." Dean hadn't been doing business for long but hunting had made him a pro in catching when a person was genuinely nice and when he was pretending. He has met a fair share of these monkey suits who looked down on small business owners like him and Crowley was one of them but he was here to do business and just that he will do.
"Mr Winchester, we will be glad to do some business with you. We manufacture the parts that you mentioned in our earlier conversation. You may want to get a look at some other parts that you may like. We offer 10% discount to small business owners like you." And after that Dean tuned out the man and just nodded , the man kept on going and going on about the importance of small business and such. Yeah like you would give a damn , darn Dean , okay like the people like Crowley would give a darn about others. Oh god his inner voice was correcting his potty mouth by scolding him in Sam's voice , how funny is that. He smiled but quickly recovered so as to not look like a moron smiling to himself. He finally focused on Crowley when the man looked at his nephew frowning.
Dean looked at the kid and he realised that DJ was munching on candies happily. The kid hadn't even eaten that many but Crowley was frowning as if he has eaten the whole bowl. Dean nudged DJ gently and said , "Hey , no more candies young man. We don't want your teeth to rot now do we." He said promising that as soon as they were out he will buy a large packet of M&Ms to share with the kid , he didn't want the kid to get sick eating while Crowley was frowning at him. He said the last part in a low voice making sure only DJ heard him. DJ smiled a big toothy grin.
Crowley said standing , "If you would follow me , Mr Winchester. The kid can stay here in my cabin." Dean didn't want to leave the kid alone but he realised that they will be around some sharp parts and the kid was a little bundle of energy , he didn't want DJ around them. So he crouched in front of his nephew and said in his ear , "I will be gone only a few minutes. You don't leave this cabin , you can watch a video on my phone. Can you do that ?". DJ nodded and Dean smiled.
After a few minutes when he placed the order and made sure the parts will be delivered and declined dozens of snake like Crowley's deals , he made his way to the cabin and scooped up his nephew and together they made their way out of the building.
They were in the car , DJ was sitting in the backseat in his car seat when Dean said , "I noticed , you didn't eat anymore candy after I told you no. And now I will buy a big packet of M&Ms as promised." Dean said feeling proud of the kid for following his orders.
DJ smiled and said , "Yes , Unca Dean I's don't eat no more candy. I's just opened the wrapper and lick the candy and put it back."
To this Dean was confused, should he laugh at this or should he scold the kid. But in the end he figured , the kid did what he said in his own way. Besides , it would take more than that to make him angry at this kid. So he shook his head , laughed a little and stopped in front of a convenience store to buy his promised candy.
The proud he was feeling a moment before just increased a few notches. This kid could be the best lawyer when he grew up. He got what he wanted and also didn't break any rules well sort of.
