Dean felt his heart expanding as Sam and Jess stepped away from each other, Sam making a beeline for Bobby and Jess idly walking towards Mary whom she gently hugged.

"He's getting her back," Cas said softly. "Will they leave the Bunker?"

Dean shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant when the thought of Sam leaving felt like an Angel blade through the heart. "I dunno."

Cas didn't reply and Dean had a feeling the Angel knew exactly what Dean felt on the matter. It was half comforting and half creepy, Dean though as he leaned against Cas.

Chuck turned to look down at Dean. Unless Dean was very mistaken, it looked almost like His eyes were slightly wet, as if this was the first experience of human love He had ever seen. And maybe it was. "Dean, you haven't yet made your wish, what do you want?"

"Can I get a hold on that?" Dean asked. "Use it later?"

He smiled. "Of course."

"Hey, uh, sorry about yelling at You," Dean apologized, murmuring another apology to Cas as he stood up to walk over to Him.

"No problem," He said, shifting. "I deserved it."

Dean smirked. "Well, won't argue with you there."

"We can both agree that what I did was wrong. But how about we also address the fact you killed my sister."

Dean crossed his arms. He wanted to play that game? "Okay...lets talk about the times You killed me and Sam. Let's count, we've been stabbed, ripped apart, shot, in Hell, I've been hit by a car, had a damn piano dropped onto me- according to Sam. So yeah, sorry about Your sister, who by the way, also killed Cas and me."

To Dean's topmost surprise, Chuck smiled. "If you don't tell Sam," He said quietly, "but I've always like you better."

"Is that a compliment?" Dean asked, hardly moving his lips, maintaining eye contact.

"If you want it to be. Now, I know what you want, what your wish will be, I can't make them corporeal but they can be ghost-ish."

"Good enough for me. Why can't you?"

Chuck sighed again and Dean noticed how tired he looked. "It would upset the natural forces too much."

"Right..."

"Dean!" Sam called.

Dean turned around at light speed at his name. "Yeah Sammy?"

"We need to go soon."

"What?"

Cas answered. "It's been a week on Earth. If we stay longer something might happen down at the Bunker. It is not safe for humans to be exposed to the forces of Heaven for too long."

Dean nodded. "Alright, you feel up to this Cas?"

"I will be fine."

"You said that last time," Dean said in an accusatory tone.

Cas sighed, annoyed. "I will be fine, promise."

"Fine. Let us say goodbye." Dean didn't look reassured but, thankfully, he took the promise and nodded.

The first person he headed over to was his mom. "Yeah Mom," he said quietly. Immediately she wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm so proud of you," she whispered into his ear. "Go- be happy, be strong, never give up. Stay with your brother and your Angel."

Dean closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath. "I promise you I will, it's what I've been doing for years." He almost laughed. "I love you."

"I know baby, I love you too." She released him and kissed his cheek gently.

Dean walked towards John, checking Sam over his shoulder. His brother was moving towards Charlie and Kevin- presumably to apologize for not being able to bring them back. "You idiot," he murmured. They would forgive, they'd forgive anything.

"Hey Dad," Dean said softly.

"Hello."

Dean shook his head. "So we're just never going to talk about it then. Okay."

John stiffened. "I'm sorry."

"'Sorry' doesn't do shit." Dean turned to head to Bobby, who was watching him with more of a fatherly expression than John had ever had in his entire life,

"Wait." John grabbed Dean arm. Slowly, his son turned around and wretched his wrist out of his grasp. "Dean, listen to me. I know nothing will ever change what I've done, and that you'll never forgive me. I don't want you too. I don't deserve it, but I want you to know everything I've done, if I could undo it I would. I just want to you to know I do love you and I want you and Sam to be happy."

"Thank you," was all Dean said. He turned and made for Bobby next.

Sam approached Charlie and Kevin cautiously but when they saw him, neither of them looked upset, in stark contrast their faces were glowing with happiness.

"You did it!" Charlie squealed. "You did it!" She ran at him and embraced him. Shocked, Sam slowly hugged her back.

"I'm sorry I could bring you both back too," he said, glancing at her and Kevin.

"It's fine," Kevin said, smiling warmly. "You have to visit us once and a while though."

Charlie released Sam. "It's fine, I get it, you need her. It's totally fine." Her voice carried no hint of aggression or jealousy.

"Thanks," Sam whispered. "Really?" he said in a falsely hurt voice, turning to Kevin. "No hug?" he asked.

Kevin smiled, rushed forward and hugged him tightly. "Happy?"

"Better."

"Bobby," Dean said. "Hey."

Bobby smiled so widely it looked like his face might split. "Come here you Idjit." Dean didn't hesitate to walk straight into his arms.

"I'm sorry we have to leave you here," Dean whispered. "I miss you."

"I know," Bobby replied soothingly. "You have to visit 'til both you and Sam are old men."

"See you Bobby," Dean said. "Thank you."

"See ya boy."

Cas stood by his Father, watching the exchange of hugs and kind words. "Humans are strange with their goodbyes," he noted.

"Humans are flawed in many ways," God said.

Cas nodded and glanced over at his Father. "I think that's what makes them the best of all of us."

"I believe so."

Cas sighed. "You've been gone so long."

Chuck raised an eyebrow. "I know. But I have been there."

"Why the disguise?"

"Front row seat to the End of the World? Why not?"

Cas paused, processing this. "Alright...how did the amulet never light up in your presence?"

For a moment Chuck looked confused. "Oh!" He exclaimed, realization dawning. "A spell to prevent it, but oh, you know where it's been this whole time? Sam! Dean!"

Both of their heads shot up. "What?" Dean called.

"Sam," Chuck said. "You know what? I think there's something you have that doesn't belong to you."

Sam looked confused for a moment, he tilted his head. "What?"

Chuck sighed. "Oh for My sake." He flicked His hand and a sharp white light poured from his pocket, shining through the holes in the zipper, shining through the fabric itself.

Sam's hand flew to the pocket and slowly began to unzip it, realization dawning on his face. "Oh," he whispered. "I'd forgotten..."

Dean's eyes widened. "Is that..."

Sam grinned and pulled the amulet out of his pocket, narrowing his eyes against the light, and holding it out to Dean. "You should never have thrown this away."

Chuck flicked His wrist again and it stopped glowing. Dean gently took the necklace in his hands, staring at it disbelievingly, running a finger over the scratched yet cared for surface. "You...you kept it?"

"Yeah." Sam glanced away. "I took it out of the trash. Thought you'd want it again."

"Why?"

"You've had it since we were kids," he said softly, eyes wide and innocent as if wondering if Dean was mad or not.

"You never thought to give it back earlier?"

"I was waiting for the right time."

Dean closed his eyes for a second, a smile on his lips, before slipping it around his neck. "Thank you."

Sam repressed a grin at the sight of his brother wearing it again. He had missed the sight. "We have to go now," he said softly.

"Oh...oh, yeah." Dean nodded and held out a hand to Cas who took it. "See you," he said to his parents, Bobby, Kevin, and Charlie.

Mary smiled and nodded. John dipped his head and Bobby said, "see you later idjits."

Charlie mouthed, "I love you," and Kevin waved.

"Ready?" Sam asked as he took Jess's hand. "Cas, you good?"

"I'm fine," Cas said.

"Ready," Jess said.

And they were gone.
