CHAPTER 12

The next two days were spent in packing. Sam gave his resignation at the store. He had talked to the landlord. And now it was his last day at the apartment. They will be leaving early the next day. When he had rented the apartment , it was fully furnished. So that means he didn't have much furniture with him. Just their clothes , some toys of DJ , and other small stuff like his laptop , kitchen and bathroom stuff. He had to sell his car shortly after losing his job at the firm. So all in all , his stuff would be able to fit in the backseat and trunk of the impala.

When they will reach Dean's place or now 'their place' he would have to buy furniture like bed , dresser and stuff.

The last night was spent like any other night. They all had to wake up early the next day so Sam put DJ to bed shortly after dinner and after having a few beers with Dean , he and Dean also decided to call it a night.

All the Winchester boys woke up at 5. They used paper plates to have a light breakfast of cereals. As all the kitchen stuff was already packed. They would make a stop later at some diner on their way. Dean and Sam had already put the boxes in the car. So they just have to lock the apartment and after Sam had handed the keys to his landlord , they would be on their way.

By 6 , they were on the road. Sam in the passenger seat with Dean driving and DJ buckled securely in his car seat in the back with a few boxes beside him.

Metallica was blasting through the speakers so loudly that Sam was having a hard time even listening to his thoughts. Dean was drumming on the steering wheel. And even DJ was humming. Sam was sure the kid didn't understand even a single word but he was humming as if this was his favourite. The kid liked whatever his uncle liked. If Dean said something was cool it was definitely cool in his son's eyes.

Sam turned the volume a little lower , Dean turned it higher , Sam again turned it lower and Dean again turned it higher. As Sam was about to turn it lower for the third time, Dean shot him a nasty glare at which he was not surprised in the least , he expected that. But he did stop.

"Man, I can't even hear myself think. "

"Daddy , its metal -i-ca its supposed to be loud. " DJ looked at him and shook his head. As if he was disappointed that his daddy didn't even know this common fact. Maybe the kid really was disappointed because he sure looked like it.

His son can't even spell or speak 'Metallica' but still he acted like he was the biggest fan already and maybe he would if he continues to spend more time with his uncle.

"Thats my boy. Sam, you should take lessons from the kid." Dean shook his head at his brother. There's a reason he liked DJ more than Sam.

Sam was feeling the odd one out. Great thats what he needed, two Deans ganging up on him. But secretly he loved that his brother and his son , the two most important persons in his life were getting along so well. He acted like he was a little angry but secretly he was not much. And that secret he would carry to his grave. Afterall he had a reputation to maintain. His brother already called him Samantha , he didn't want to encourage him more.

He gave up trying fiddling with the volume dial after that. And lay his head on the window and looked out at the passing scenery.

After being on the road for over 3 hours , they stopped at a small diner. They sat at the table close to the exit. Dean took a note of where all the exits were and what was the fastest way to get out in case they had to run , he also looked at people around him to know if anyone looked suspicious.

Sam observed that Dean was in hunter mode as soon as they entered the diner but he didn't point it out. Some habits die hard and besides its always good to take notice of your surroundings. He would have done it too if he was alone but his big brother was here and he knew he could count on Dean so he didn't even bother.

A cute waitress came to take their order , they ordered pancakes , bacon , some fried eggs, toast , coffee and some milkshake. When they were about to leave , the waitress came one last time to ask if she could get them anything else and to give them the bill.

"Unca Dean likes you but we don't have time for this. We have to travel lots and lots more." DJ said.

Sam laughed. Dean's face was red as cherry. It was good maybe now Dean will learn to watch his mouth around DJ. His brother was controlling his swearing sure , but still Dean would say things that are even bad than a few swear words.

Sam was still laughing but he suddenly yelp because his 'jerk' of a brother just stepped on his toe.

"Kids nowadays. I don't even know where he learn these things from. I guess we have to cut your tv time , Buddy." Dean was blushing so hard. The kid had a habit of speaking weird things anytime and to anyone. He needed to learn that somethings really needed to be private.

"I didn't learn it from tv. 'member you said ..." Before DJ could say anything more Dean clamped his hand over DJ's mouth. And smiled sheepishly.

But the waitress was far away from being embarrassed. She looked flattered. She leaned a bit forward and whispered something in Dean's ear before moving to another table.

Dean was smiling a cocky smile and Sam figured he really didn't need to know the reason behind that smile and his brother's sudden change of behaviour.

They were on the road again. DJ was asleep. Sam was about to doze off too. It would be another 6 hours on the road before they would be at their new home. 'New home' , Sam was thinking about that when his brother's phone rang suddenly and AC/DC filled the otherwise silent car. DJ was asleep a short time after they exited the diner so the car was completely silent.

Sam saw Dean picked the phone up and his whole expression changed from confused to furious in about 30 seconds. Dean ended the call and stopped the car on the side of the highway they were on. Before Sam could even utter a single word , Dean got out and was now pacing back and forth, shaking his head and muttering and was also looking really angry. Sam hadn't seen that look on his brother's face ever. Dean looked as if he could punch someone.

That alarmed Sam and he approached his brother cautiously.

"Dean , you alright ? What happened ?"

"Congratulations , Sammy. Guess what ? We have a younger brother. " Dean said through gritted teeth. His fists were clenched so tight that his knuckles were white.

That couldn't be right. Dean had to be joking right. Right ?

Okay, I am planning to write 'family reunited 2'. That will continue from here on. Yes you are right , I will be introducing Adam. That will show the dynamics between three brothers and ofcourse our little DJ would be there.
