Epilogue

Home Sweet Home

Cas strode across the parking area by the stable, finding Dean. Dean watched as his husband made his way across, grinning and hunger increasing with each step he took. Cas' eyes were strikingly blue today and he knew why.

"It's done," Cas grinned, stopping in front of him.

"Done," Dean clarified, fighting to not get his hopes up too high.

"We sign at the lawyers office tomorrow. And it's over. She's ours."

Dean bit his lip grinning. He launched a hug on Cas, lifting him up and spinning him around. They kissed, laughing and hugging each other tightly.

"What's goin on?" Jimmy asked, loping over on the horse he rode.

"Can we tell him now?" Dean asked in Cas' ear.

"Yeah!" Cas laughed, both men turning at the fence to talk to Jimmy.

"So, ya know how we talked about adopting Emma?" Dean said.

"Yeah?" Jimmy said, leaning forward expectantly.

"Well, the adoption is finalized tomorrow. Congratulations, buddy! You're a big brother!"

"Yes!" Jimmy cheered, the horse dancing and Jimmy took off around the ring. "I'm a big brother!"

Dean and Cas laughed. They had known Jimmy was pulling for Emma's adoption to go through.

"Dad, guess what!" Jimmy called, trotting back to them.

"What?" Dean and Cas asked.

"I'm a brother! Ha!"

Dean laughed. "Being a big brother isn't always easy, Jimmy. It can be pretty tough sometimes."

Jimmy nodded. "I'm gonna teach her how to ride."

Dean and Cas nodded, grinning. Emma had come to them at a year and half old. She would be three in a few months. She was the daughter of a classmate of Jo's who was single and had died. As friend's of hers, they took Emma right away. Dean and Cas had talked about having another child some day and Jimmy had always wanted to be a big brother. She made their family feel perfect.

"Ellen is gonna cry," Dean said. "She was so worried things would fall through."

Cas nodded, Dean turning to hold him in his arms again. "Congratulations, you're a dad again!" Cas grinned, kissing him.

"I love you. Like just ridiculous amounts of love," Dean laughed.

"And I love you back. Ridiculously so."

Dean turned to Jimmy. "Time to come in, bud. We gotta go pick up Emma at Ellen's and then Sam wants to meet for dinner."

"Okay," Jimmy said, turning toward the stable. At the age of 8, Jimmy could ride like a pro. Dean and Cas would not let him herd cattle yet, but he was already bugging to help.

When Cas and Jimmy moved in with Dean and Adam 4 years ago, they had become a family overnight. Jimmy had said many times that he did not remember Chicago at all. The memories were just gone. Dean would smile proudly every time he said it.

When Sam graduated from college, Adam graduated high school. They ran the resort fully family staffed for the first time since their mother had passed. When that season ended, Cas took Dean and Jimmy for a road trip across the country. Dean had insisted on driving an Impala he had bought and fixed up.

They spent three weeks in Florida, Dean never having seen the ocean before. He quickly learned Dean was a mountain man and not a beach boy. But both men were just as much of a kid as Jimmy when they spent a week at Disney World.

They met up with Gabe and Sam for some night clubbing in New York City. Dean was more at home with random small town fun and Route 66 anomalies. Sights seen, cities visited, trails hiked, pictures taken, Dean had gotten his travel bug out and the pair had even more time to bond.

Arriving home to their nest in the red rock cliffs had them all feeling content. The next year Cas and Dean went to England and Scotland. They had fun going on pub tours and sight-seeing.

Then Emma came along, and Winchester home went into family mode double time. While it felt like a natural fit, Ellen and Bobby were amazing help. The stucco home was full and loud and busy. Gabe opened a small bakery in Tropic and managed the kitchen at the resort. Cas and Sam ran the hotel, Dean and Bobby ran the stable and trail riding, and Adam managed the cattle. Ellen was still running the bar, but preferred babysitting her grandkids, Jimmy and Emma.

Their customers often returned, loving the family feel and having more sights to see within a drive than most could fit into a single vacation.

Cas pulled Dean into a hug before Jimmy came out of the stable. "I think this calls for a celebration, cowboy," he said low into Dean's ear.

"Yeah?" Dean smiled eagerly. "We can go out for dinner with Sam and celebrate with the kids. Then maybe he can bring them home so I could take you out for a beer."

"God, I love when you take me out for a beer," Cas grinned, a low, rumbling laugh was muffled by Dean kissing him.
