Dean watched his frowny husband glaring at a little pile of lima beans sitting at the edge of his plate. The Omega smiled, "Looks like he's trying to make them burst into flames with his eyes…what a sexy dork."

He rested both hands on his baby belly hoping to feel some movement even though he knew it was too early, "Hey baby Novak how's it going in there? Your mama is an official mate in the eyes of the law; Omega or not, no one can take me away from your daddy."

For just a moment Dean worried this was all a wishful dream. He would wake up in some dank motel room with little Sam curled up next to him quiet as a mouse so as not to wake John sleeping one off in the next bed.

Castiel saw the faraway look in Dean's eyes and gently squeezed his thigh, "Penny for your thoughts."

The Omega slowly blinked several times then turned to his Alpha, "I love you Cas."

"I love you too Dean," he thumbed the teen's plump bottom lip, "you mean everything to me and I'll show you tomorrow night at the cabin."

"Oh yeah, what are you gonna do?"

Castiel let out a low, dirty laugh that set Dean to trembling.

"I will thoroughly ravish every inch of your supple, creamy flesh." The Alpha licked up his Omega's neck circling the shell of Dean's flushed pink ear. "I'm going on a weeklong freckle hunt."

"Did you say a freckle hunt?"

"Mmm, I did." He stabbed the tip of his wet tongue inside Dean's ear causing the Omega to squeal and laugh.

Benny stood abruptly to make his speech and put an end to whatever deviant sexual act was brewing between the newlyweds. He tapped his glass with a fork to get people's attention but when the room didn't go instantly quiet Benny bellowed, "Everyone shut your corn holes!"

As imposing as Benny was he looked too damn handsome in his Old West gamblers attire to dampen the high spirits of the ladies and the Omegas. Conversation was replaced by whistles and laughter.

The Alphas and Beta males sat at attention, no one wanted to fuck with Benny.

Javier tugged on his husband's sleeve and whispered loudly, "Pie holes Benny."

"What?"

"Corn hole means your butt and pie hole means your mouth."

He reached down and lovingly cupped his wife's face, "Darlin' the corn goes in the same place as the pie and out the same end."

The bearded man with the twinkling blue eyes placed a hand on Castiel's shoulder, "In the short six months I've known Castiel Novak we've become close friends…best friends actually. I know some of you might look at us and wonder how a rough around the edges middle aged shop teacher became buddies with a young, handsome, cultured English teacher like Castiel."

The high school librarian yelled, "Tell us all about it Benny!"

Benny growled, "Shut up Jerry I'm trying to make a point here."

Drunken Jerry blew his colleague a raspberry which earned him a smack on the arm from his wife Julie.

Benny raised his arms in the air like a tent revival preacher, "Divine Providence, the stars aligned just right, dice rolled in our favor or a lucky accident we never know how or when someone special will enter our lives."

He nodded toward Dean, "Castiel found his perfect mate, the one we all hope and pray for but some never find. My friend went from a lonely, awkward Alpha who locked himself away in his childhood bedroom to listen to his mom's old records and dance alone singing into a hairbrush…."

Cas did a champagne spit take over his plate, "How the hell do you know I did alone in my bedroom?!"

Benny patted him on top the head, "I hear things. Don't worry brother I'm getting to the good stuff." He downed a flute of champagne adding to his buzz then continued, "This beautiful man," Benny squeezed Castiel against his hip, "this brave, intelligent, faithful and…and…" the best man lost his train of thought, his brain a little fuzzy from the free booze and rich food.

Castiel tried to extricate himself from the strong arm pinning him, "Dean do something!"

Dean smirked at his husband, "what do you want me to do?"

"Anything,"

The Omega said, "Corn hole."

Benny let go of his friend and doubled over laughing.

Bobby watched the family circus, "Balls, those people are as goofy as a pack of rats in glue factory." For Bobby that was a complement.

Bobby took out his phone and sent a quick text.

"How is my love bug?"

"Fine my grizzly bear, I miss u."

"Miss you too. How's the little button?"

"Having sweet dreams. How is the reception?"

"A bunch of oddballs, we'll fit right in."

"lol"

"Gotta go Peaches."

"Nite baby."

….

Before Castiel could wrestle the microphone from Benny he drawled one last message to the guests, "After the meal there will be, in this order, the cutting of the cake, Dean and Castiel's first dance as husband and wife and then more dancing." He relinquished the microphone, "I got them all warmed up for you brother."

"Gee thanks."

Castiel spoke into the microphone sounding a little nervous in front of all this people some of them strangers, "I had a speech prepared and had every intention of using my notes but then…" Castiel held up the little gift bag, "my angel gave me this as a wedding gift and that changed everything. I know what I want to tell you all."

Castiel smiled at no one in particular; it was the smile of someone reliving a wonderful memory. He reached in the bag and pulled out a large honey crisp apple.

"There is a story behind an apple just like this one. The first day I met Dean he rushed into my class which was already in session and handed me an apple, I imagine it was to butter me up. After class ended I couldn't let him leave without talking to this amazing boy. I thanked him for the gift."

The Alpha ruffled his Omega's hair fondly, "As I watched you leave my classroom I felt a wave of loneliness wash over me."He clutched his fist over his heart, "You exposed an emptiness I had locked away for fear the pain would end me."

Dean looked up at Castiel, the teacher's face full of emotion reliving that day. It pained him to know how torn his mate had felt, he whispered, "Cas I didn't know…"

Castiel got down on his knees and wrapped his arms around the seated Omega's waist, "I was raw, open and so vulnerable after meeting you and I'm thankful for it." He closed his eyes and placed his head on his wife's lap. A sigh escaped his lips, "Your love illuminates my soul."

Dean placed one hand on Castiel's back as another stroked his hair.

Guests sat quietly watching the intimate moment between them. Some of the Betas and Omegas had happy tears for the couple, others tears for themselves hoping for a love like that someday.

Most of the Alphas kept their emotions close to the vest but the unusual wedding and the emotional outpouring from one of their own made some of the Alphas reevaluate the meaning of romance and roles in their own relationships while others felt Castiel was pussy whipped by a pretty young thing.

Dean whispered, "Castiel."

Upon hearing Dean say his full first name Castiel raised his head to look up at his mate, "Dean I've embarrassed you."

"No, you just made me love you even more. Cas you saved me…you saved Sammy and gave us a family and a home. Baby you are my hero."

They both stood and embraced one another. Everyone stood with them cheering them on.

Phyllis Mercado dabbed her eyes with a tissue, "This wedding and reception has been utter perfection." She took her husband's hand, "Mateo they have opened my eyes."

Cas and Dean were bewildered by all the excitement. They had forgotten anyone else was there halfway through. As Castiel once said when he was with Dean the rest of the world just slips away.

…

The photographer and videographer caught every moment for the young couple. Mark and Larry were freelancers for Omega Bride and Mother Omega Monthly among other publications. "Larry we struck gold with this wedding. Do you think they'd sign a release?"

"Dunno, maybe if they were offered enough money. It's too late to ask now but when they get back from the honeymoon I say we talk to them. This couple is a real game changer."

Mark sighed, "I'd hate to put them out there in the public for every angry Alpha and disgruntled sterile female to target. I've got a wife at home I know the crap he goes through."

Larry clapped his business partner on the back, "You gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelet. Maybe they can handle it."

…..

Castiel and Dean posed together cutting the huge wedding cake as photos and video were taken. Cas broke off a piece of the vanilla strawberry cream tier and fed it to his wife. Dean stuck his fingers in the chocolate praline tier and pulled off a hunk, "Here baby, lick it off my fingers."

Cas leaned in to suck a finger into his mouth when Dean rubbed the cake across his husband's mouth and burst out laughing.

"Damn it Dean we agreed not to do that!"

"I lied."

The Alpha scooped some black forest cake with his fingers and before Dean could run Cas plastered his face with the decadent dessert. He pointed and laughed at the Omega, "This is fun!"

They both went to scoop more cake to assault each other with until Spencer barked, "Goddamn it! If one more chunk comes out of that cake in your grubby hands and not on a plate I'll…well I don't know what I'll do but you won't like it."

Benny raised a bottle of Wild Turkey that he had mysteriously acquired, "Dance, dance, dance!"

….

Scotty finished wiping cake off Dean's face as if he were a toddler, "Well your dress shirt is ruined."

Dean gave him a cheeky grin, "I could go shirtless."

"Not with those proud little mommy nipples out there for the world to see."

"Gross, I forgot about them. I better not get any sort of boobage like you are."

"Well not every Omega gets them so maybe you won't; besides they don't last forever." Scotty tossed Dean a clean tee, "You're just lucky I came prepared for shenanigans."

The tee was black with "Half Angel/Half Devil" on the front in glitter and hung to Dean's knees.

"Is this one of your shirts?!"

Scotty fussed with Dean's damp bangs then licked a stray blob of frosting off the teen's neck, "Mmm, strawberry. Yes it's one of my old shirts I keep in my vehicle just in case I need a change of clothes. Stop your bitching Dean; I've done my best here and frankly I'm exhausted."

Scotty had done his best arranging practically everything for the wedding and reception and Dean knew it. His mentor looked tired and paler than usual, "I'm really sorry. I didn't thank you for everything you've done for us. I'm not much of an Omega I guess cause I just wasn't into the whole wedding planning and stuff."

Scotty sat down and kicked off his shoes then went about the task of rubbing his feet and cracking his toes, "Oh man that feels better. My feet are kinda swollen."

His voice full of concern, Dean asked if Scotty was ok.

"I'm fine just not feeling like dancing out there so I hope you don't mind if I sit everything out." He smiled at the boy in the tee than looked more like a dress than a shirt. "Dean you are all Omega. Omegas are like everyone else with a wide range of interests and yours happens to be hunting the Supernatural, working on cars and rock music."

Dean got a little huffy at the mention of hunting, "Hunting the Supernatural isn't an interest it's a calling."

"Ok a calling then. No arguments here."

Scotty picked up his shoes and walked barefooted back to the others, arm in arm with Dean.

….

The lights were dimmed and the big mirrored ball above the newlyweds began to slowly rotate creating the feel of a high school dance. Besides the song about to play this was also Castiel's request.

Dean would never experience a high school dance, not when his date was his English teacher. Married or not rules were rules and the teacher was already looked down upon for taking up with a student.

Castiel thought of all the normal things a teenager experiences and he carried his share of guilt at these losses for Dean even though Dean himself said he'd never miss all that teen bullshit. Cas wasn't so sure.

This was the Alpha's way of making it up to him.

The song "When I'm with You" by Sheriff filled the reception hall.

Castiel swept Dean into his arms and like the talented dancer he was expertly moved along with his new wife to a song that said it all.

Tears sprung up in Dean's eyes, "Cas I love you so much." He buried his face in the crook of his Alpha's neck so no one could him.

Cas pressed his lips to Dean's ear and tried his best to softly sing the lyrics even though he knew he was no singer. It didn't matter; to Dean his husband's deep, gravelly voice was the equivalent to a choir of angels.

I never needed love
Like I need you
And I never lived for nobody
But I live for you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you

Maybe it's the way you touch me
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you

Castiel gave Dean a twirl, a move they had practiced and then reeled him back in again.

Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
Oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you

I never cared for nobody
Like I care for you
And I never wanted to share the things
I want to share with you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you….

…

The dance floor was filled with couples in throes of romantic passion each clinging to their date or mate tightly. The newlyweds had set off a chain reaction.

Sam slow danced with Alfie and the pre-Omega was amazed at how well Sam did. Sam proudly told him Scotty showed him how to properly slow dance while on a date.

That didn't escape Alfie, "Sooo…I'm not just a plus one and this is a real date?"

Sam stammered, "T-that's not what I meant. Since it's a wedding reception it's not really a date."

The blonde lowered his eyes, "Oh I see."

"Crap I hurt his feelings."

Sam was saved by the next song. He took a page from his new brother-in-law and sang the lyrics to Alfie hoping to make up for what he said. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you looked at it, the song was "If You Go" by Jon Secada.

Scotty had taught Sam some fancy Latin dance moves, "Feet don't fail me now!"

Sam took his position, "Get ready Alfie."

"W-what?"

Staring down into his date's pretty eyes Sam held both Alfie's hands in his and took him two steps back in sync then forward. Alfie picked up on what Sam was doing quickly since he took dance lessons since the age of five.

When Sam started singing along with Jon Secada while executing the Latin inspired dance moves something inside of Alfie gave way. He felt lost in a dream.

Taking a day at a time
Dealing with feelings I don't want to hide
Learning to love as I go, baby
Without taking you along for a ride, I

Tried to find myself
Tried to find the truth
Get out from this shell

Girl I'm almost there
To show you how much I really care

Sam swiveled his hips and dipped the shorter boy.

If you go say goodbye
There'll be something missing in my life
'Cause you know
That all I really want is you (you)

Sorry if you felt misled
But I know what I feel
I know what I said, baby
God I hope you believe
Believe in all that we can be
The future in us together in love

Dean almost choked on his ginger ale when he spotted his little brother tripping the light fantastic with his plus one and singing to boot.

"Cas look at that!" Dean waved the photographer and videographer over, "If you guys miss a minute of this I'll strangle you both!"

Mark answered excitedly, "Don't worry we got the whole thing so far!"

Sam twirled Alfie right back into his arms hugging him from behind. Alfie was drenched in sweat feeling feverish and strange but so happy.

You're the reason I'm strong
Don't you think I don't know
This is where I belong
Give me the time
To say that you're mine
To say that you're mine

The other dancers had moved back to give the cute prepubescent couple plenty of room.

Scotty clutched Spencer by the arm and pointed, "Look at Sam tearing it up out there!"

Spencer nodded his approval, "When that kid hits his stride look out world because he's gonna be a heartbreaker."

"Mmm, I don't think so. Breaking hearts wouldn't be my little sweetie's way. Sam strikes me as someone who will be very faithful. Whoever ends up with him will be damn lucky. Of course I'll have to approve of his choices."

"Yeah that will go over like a ton of bricks. Let him make his own mistakes."

Scotty felt a pang of emotion watching who he now considered his child, "My baby is growing up."

…

After a dance with Sam, Benny, Bobby and Spencer and then joining a drunken conga line, Dean had to admit defeat. If he hadn't been pregnant the teen could have gone all night but he was sleeping for two now and he was exhausted.

The guests slowly funneled out the door after congratulating the couple once more and thanking them for a most memorable evening.

Benny supervised the loading up of the gifts and locked card box in the back of his truck which he had placed a cab on just for the occasion.

Javier drove the Impala with Dean and Castiel asleep in the back. Benny followed in the truck. When they arrived Spencer and Javier helped Benny carry in the mountain of gifts that took up half of the living room. The locked box was placed safely inside Spencer's small, walk-in vault behind a sliding bookcase.

Tipsy Castiel offered to carry Dean inside but he declined the since he wanted to get there in one piece.

….

Sam and Dean bunked together that night since the newlyweds were waiting until they reached the cabin tomorrow before they screwed like spring bunnies.

Dean rolled his head on the pillow to stare at his little brother. Sam had a goofy smile on his face.

"Sammy you were awesome out there tonight. Alfie looked so happy. You're a good friend…you are just friends right?"

"Of course Dean what else would we be? I don't even know what I am yet."

"Well I can tell you it won't be Omega."

Sam turned to look at his brother, "I could be a Beta you know. How would you feel about that?"

Dean hadn't considered it before but anything was possible, "I'd be happy for you and accept it just like you did for me. Bobby is a Beta and he's cool."

"I gave Alfie a smooch after we got done dancing. It was really nice, I felt tingly."

Dean snickered, "I know, it's on video and immortalized in pictures."

"Dang it!"

"Settle down, I'm not broadcasting it anyplace. Besides there is nothin' wrong with having a crush on someone."

Sam stuck out his tongue at his big brother.

"Oh now you did it Sammy, it's on!"

The brothers got into a pillow fight wrestling match which Dean naturally won. Sam called no fair since Dean was knocked up and he couldn't fight back.

They fell asleep holding each other like old times.

Dean had naughty dreams that night of Castiel on a freckle hunt.
