Haha! I have the secret to reviews…naked Dean with a gun…and threaten to stop writing LOL Thanks for all the support though, seriously it's something I'll miss but it's been going on most of the year and as much as I love it and you guys it's taking up more time than work and I need to see if I can actually earn money from doing this!
If you haven't read any spoilers for S4 part 2 then I won't give the game away but there's a character called Cole coming up in the show which I think is brilliant, if we get a Logan then I scored a hatrick! Sera…I know you're out there reading this so just put the dildo down and find more ways to get our boys shirtless there's a good girl.
Thanks for the reviews, I loved them…I think you liked the questions Dean threw at his wife most of all but a lot of you had two burning questions: how will Johnny react and will Dean kick Sam's ass into gear? Let's find out shall we…
I had to laugh when I came home this evening and found a load of sweaty young men playing football on the lawn behind my bungalow…once I was done fanning myself I thought it funny considering I had already written the following.
You're going to need a different type of song for this so I hope you can download it. It's 'The Devil went down to Georgia' by the Charlie Daniels band. If you've ever seen Coyote Ugly you'll recognize it…LOL
Enjoy the barbeque and pass the ribs!

One thing Bonnie's death had taught them was that as long as they were altogether the Winchesters could pretty much overcome anything. With Dean now 'whole' again it took only a matter of hours for joy to return to the household and it was chaos once more. Logan stopped balling, Nitro started barking, Dylan was back to his old self and Sam had fresh hope for the future.
They were all gradually getting used to Bonnie Two and strangely enough it had been Brooke who had was the last to come around to the idea. Whilst she loved the fact that no one but his wife could fill the void in Dean's life she worried about how Sam would cope if something happened to her. It also made her see the lengths they were willing to go to in order to avoid trauma. They had all lost people close to them but it had formed their personalities and she didn't want Dylan and Lily to grow up thinking that they could use their strengths in this way. For now though she was happy to just enjoy the good times and take a breather as she had been coping with so much single-handedly.
No one wanted to do much in the halcyon days following Bonnie's return and most of their time was spent chilling out in the garden and just laughing. No decisions had been made about the future as everyone decided to live in the present. Dean had run some mysterious errands and had spent some time in the cellar too which piqued their curiosity but they knew not to question him until he was ready.
Owing to the fact that Hope was dead for some of it and therefore couldn't fully enjoy her birthday they decided they would have a party for the twins on Cole's birthday and make it a triple celebration. No amount of cajoling from Hope or even Dean could convince Rita to return and they couldn't announce the news on the phone so they would have to come up with a plan B.
When Dean walked into the kitchen on the morning of the big event he felt happy and relaxed. In just under a week with the help of Sam's workouts and the protein shakes he had managed to put on almost seven kilos of pure muscle . Bonnie was sitting on the counter with a mug in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
Dean sidled up to her and kissed her neck. "That coffee?"
"Uh-huh, I forgot how good it tastes. I think I may even have a beer today."
Dean's head fell back. "I can get drunk with my wife again! Halle-freakin'-lujah!"
She laughed at him and put the coffee down. "I forget how much you missed out on too over the years."
He sighed. "I used to love you drunk; you did the most outrageous things."
"You know what they say about English girls?" She wound her arms around his neck.
"No, what?!"
"Biggest lushes in the world."
"Whoo-hoo!"
When Sam came in they were making out like teenagers. "Get a room." He said with a laugh glad to see the old Dean back.
Dean was still licking his lips when he turned around. "Hey Sammy, you just get up?"
"Yeah…Lily slept through for the first time and it's bliss." He smiled as Dean filled a mug for him. "So what's the plan?"
"Leave the kids to do all the hard work here and take hike."
"I don't like that look in your eye." Sam said suspiciously.
Dean grinned. "We're goin' swimming."
"Huh?"
"You have trunks don't you?"
"We haven't swum in years."
"Good job I bought some then, c'mon Dude it's good for you besides the babies need to learn."
"What's going on?" Cole walked in covered in dirt.
"What have you been doing?" Bonnie stared.
"Clearing the basement tunnel, Dad told me to." He shrugged.
"I'm sick of going down a drain every time I wanna get some whiskey."
"Isn't that dangerous?" Sam shot in.
"Nah," Cole said. "Me and Luc are like those Dudes in The Great Escape down there, it's cool and we put in supports."
"Where's the dirt?" Bonnie asked.
"We're filling in the torture chambers, no one else is getting tied up down there." He looked at his watch. "That reminds me, I have to call Chris and tell her when Johnny's flight lands."
"Christina eh?" Dean smirked at his son as Cole rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, so?"
"What? My Doctor Chris?" Bonnie asked.
Dean turned to her. "She finally found a man who knows his way around a vagina better than she does, ha!"
"Dean!" Sam pulled a face.
"Isn't she a bit old for you?"
"Mom, my last girlfriend emigrated with Columbus."
"Fair point. So what time will Johnny and Steve be here?"
"Not until three." Dean said. "Plenty of time to decide how to tell them."
"God, I hope he'll be ok."
"Hope told him we had big news." Cole said reassuringly.
"He probably thinks Dean finally got lonely enough to turn gay." Sam laughed at the thought.
Dean grimaced. "Very funny Aquaman, go get your things together."
"I don't wanna go to a public pool Dean."
"Brooke found a private one, don't worry." He winked.
"So while we're tunnelling to China so you can get drunk on home brew you're gonna be prancin' around drinking Martini's and wearing nut huggers? Nice."
"Where do you think we do physio, Monte Carlo?" Sam asked. "Believe me, you're not missing out."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"We don't have another class until twelve so you have the place to yourselves for a couple of hours." The girl said as she walked with them around the edge of the pool.
"Cool." Dean said.
"We have a winch if you need any help getting in, it's easy to work." She said to Sam.
"Thanks but he's good." Dean replied taking the chair in one hand upturning Sam into the deep end with a huge splash.
"Sir?" The girl leaned over the side in a slight panic. "Are you ok?"
Sam wiped the water off his face. "I will be." He grabbed Dean's ankle in his massive hand and pulled him in over his head.
"Oh God." She looked worried.
"Don't worry." Brooke said. "We won't sue if they get hurt; we have liability insurance for them being morons."
"Are you sure it's ok, there's no lifeguard on duty?"
"We'll be fine." Brooke said as she watched Dean dunk his brother under once more. "Dean! Try not to drown him ok?"
"He can take it!" Dean said breathlessly as Sam grappled with him.
The young girl left and Bonnie followed Brooke as they took the naked babies into the shallow end. Lily was wearing earplugs but they both kicked their legs excitedly as they entered the water.
"I know this is weird for you." Bonnie said after a moment.
"Yeah, but I'm dealing."
"I feel like I should apologize."
"Why?"
She shrugged. "I don't know, giving up?"
"You didn't." Brooke smiled as she held Lily gently on the water. "It's weird but we're all glad you're back."
"I know you had to shoulder a lot while I was gone."
"You couldn't help it and you would have done the same." Brooke smiled at her and they looked over to the opposite side of the pool as Dean laughed. "He was so broken you have no idea, he just went into his own little world but until last week he never left Logan once. To see him like this is a miracle in itself."
"He's a great Dad." She coughed. "What was my funeral like?"
"Weren't you watching from a fluffy cloud playing the harp?"
"I don't remember anything."
"Sorry." Brooke said quickly. "Bad taste. Er...it was hideous. Do you really want to know?"
"A little."
"Dean was a statue the whole time, no emotion at all. Johnny and Rita did most of the wailing."
"Sounds awful."
"It was."
"What about the song?"
"'Total Eclipse of the Heart' Dean wanted to walk out of the chapel, you could see it but he stayed anyway. I've never seen him like that, it was pretty scary but he had to hold Cole together, he took it pretty damn hard. I don't think any of us will ever be able to hear that song again."
"God."
"Hope was cool but now I know why; I think she planned this from the day you died."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be morbid." She looked down and saw that Logan was blowing bubbles already. "I think we have a water baby here." She said trying to ease the tension.
"Try him on his own."
Bonnie crouched down and looked at him blowing into his face so his eyes closed before dipping him gently. He came up smiling and kicking. "He loves it." She laughed as she did it again and let go of his hands.
"Guys!" Brooke shouted making them swim over. "Check this out."
Dean stared as Logan swam towards him underwater. "Oh my God. He's like that kid on the Nirvana poster!" He laughed picking him up kissing his smiley wet face.
Brooke and Sam had long since come to terms with the fact that their own kids would never match Dean's physically but they were never bitter as they had their own skills that they could bring to the table.
"From one water baby to the next." Dean said as he shoved his brother. "I'll race ya."
"I've seen your breast stroke Dean, never again."
"Butterfly? It's all in the arms Sammy, c'mon…last one to the end's a pansy."
"Do you think they'll ever grow up?" Brooke asked as the two men caused a near tidal wave trying to outdo one another.
"God, I hope not." Bonnie replied.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Bobby panted and let the balloon deflate dropping it onto the grass. "I'm too old for this crap, I think I'm just gonna stick the balloons to Nitro's ass and let him blow 'em up."
Dylan giggled happily. "And if we pop 'em they'll be like stink bombs!"
"Cheap and effective but not as good as a shit bomb."
"Oooh what's a shit bomb?"
"You know someone you don't like then you stick some shit in a brown paper bag and put it on their doorstep, knock on the door set the bag on fire and run away."
"And it blows up?" Dylan was confused.
"Nah, they have to stamp on it to put the flames out." He grinned.
"Then they get hot poo on their shoe?"
"That's the idea."
"You're a genius Grandpa."
"It's been said."
"Did you teach this stuff to my Dad?"
"Nah, he did things his own way, he was always independent. I taught Dean everythin', he used to sit with me and ask me stuff all the time."
"About what?"
"Cars, guns and girls mostly; Dean always liked anythin' that needed lubricatin' before use." Bobby chuckled to himself.
Dylan frowned. "And what did Dad do?"
"Read mainly."
"Is that wrong?"
"'Course not, you learn just as much and get less injuries and STD's in the process."
"Do you think I'll make a good hunter Grandpa?"
"Do you wanna be a hunter?"
"I'm considering my options."
Bobby laughed. "You'll be great at whatever you wanna do Dylan."
Hope walked out of the house and came to sit with them. "Life's so good; Mom's alive, we're having a party and my boyfriend's in a dungeon with my brother."
"You're mean to him sometimes." Dylan said.
"Who, Cole? I'm his sister, it's my job."
"I think he means Luc." Bobby said with a stern look. "You need to take it easy on him."
"That's what Logan said too."
"Outta the mouths of babes."
"What does that mean?" She asked defensively.
"Watch your tone with me." He stared. "All I'm sayin' is that the guy won't stick around forever."
"I've just turned eighteen Grandpa it's not the forties any more."
"My era was about twenty years after that girlie." He replied patiently. "No one's talkin' marriage and babies, just cut him some slack."
"I love him what more does he want?"
"To be told it every now and again?" Dylan said blowing up another balloon.
"What do you know about it Titch?"
"I know Mom and Dad say it at least once a day in case the other one forgets."
Bobby stroked his hair and gave her a look. "What did I tell ya? Kids speak the truth."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Impala soon came back up the drive with the two car seats, the wheelchair and all the groceries. Bobby sipped on a beer as he watched Dean deal with it all thinking how he looked no different but had changed so much over the years. While the girls took care of the kids he made sure Sam was ok before loading bags onto him.
"I'm not a shopping cart Dean." He said annoyed as he tried to keep hold of all the bags.
"No, I can push you in a straight line."
"I'm gonna get a freakin' puncture man!"
"Will you quit bitchin'?"
Bobby laughed at them both as Dean pushed his brother up Cole's ramp into the house. The old man had to admit that until they had come into his life he had had a miserable existence. Although he was still sorry he hadn't been able to have his own long marriage and kids Sam and Dean more than made up for it and he knew he would never get bored.

"I told you!" Sam looked down at the wheel angrily.
Dean sighed. "Ok, we'll fix it. Cole!" He yelled.
"He's still in the cellar." Hope said as she walked into the kitchen grabbing a beer before Dean snatched it away.
"No way! Go get your brother."
"He's buried in dirt Dad, what d'ya need?"
"Sam's got a puncture."
"I know where the kit is, hang on."
She came back a second later and rested it on the table before she grabbed a bucket filling it with water. "Get out." She gestured confidently to Sam.
"I hate this." He said moving onto a kitchen chair.
"Grow up it's no worse than spraining an ankle." She told him making Dean frown at her in admiration, she was turning into him more with each passing day.
"I guess." Sam had never really seen it that way.
Hope grabbed some tools and Dean watched as she removed the inner ring of the tire and dipped it into the water trying to find the leak before she could fix the outer shell. "Where did you learn to do that?"
"Just 'cos you don't let me drive doesn't mean I can't change a tire and just 'cos I don't need a wheelchair doesn't mean I can't fix one either."
"You scare me sometimes." Dean said.
"All strong women scare you." She said without looking up.
"No they don't."
Brooke suddenly sniggered as she put the food away. "Yeah they do."
"Bonnie?" He asked.
"Hey, don't ask me, I was always the weak link but I can see where they're coming from."
"Remember your theory about women Dean?" Sam said.
"What theory?" Brooke asked as they all looked up with interest.
"Dude."
"About there being Sam girls and Dean girls? I attract strong women who want to mother me and you're the Alpha male?"
"That was ages ago."
"So I want to mother Sam?" Brooke asked Dean.
"That's what girls live for I mean between the hair and the eyes you're a sucker for it."
"Are you saying he's not an Alpha male?"
"I can stick up for myself hon." Sam said.
"There ya go…" Dean raised his hands. "You proved my point right there, just sayin'."
"I don't fight his battles."
"Course you don't." Bonnie assured her unconvincingly.
"And you don't always take Dad's side right Mom?" Hope said again not looking up. "And people call me screwed in the head."
"Yeah and if you were Paris Hilton Luc would be a Chihuahua." Dean said to her.
"Bullshit!"
"Hope!" Bonnie said.
"Luc's an Alpha male."
"But you're a Praying Mantis and that's a lethal combination." Sam said laughing.
"Woah!" Bonnie shouted as she slammed a six pack on the table. "Who are we arguing with? Why do we need to analyze this stuff anyway? Let's just be thankful we found someone to share our madness with."
"Well said." Brooke winked taking a beer as they all got stuck in.
"Found the bastard." Hope said as she saw bubbles. "We should change the drive…he can't wheel over gravel."
"He's not gonna be in that thing much longer." Dean told her. "No need for drastic measures."
Hope started to patch up the wheel and cleared her throat. "I think now's a good time to talk to you all about something."
"You better not be pregnant." Dean growled.
"I'm not, but I have been thinking about certain things."
"Oh God."
"What is it?" Bonnie asked.
"I don't wanna be a lab rat but I know I can help people so I want to find a way to do that. I think the Doc's who did the tests on me in Pennsylvania knew that I was special and if I can provide a vaccine for anything then I want to do it."
"Wow." Sam said after a minute. Just when you thought Hope was the most self-centered person on the Planet she shocked you completely.
"I was havin' such a good day 'til now." Dean went to her and kissed the top of her head. "Let's hold off a few days and see what happens."
"Ok Dad, it was just a thought."
Cole and Luc suddenly walked in covered in grime. "Tunnel's back." Cole said victoriously.
"Grab a seat." Dean said. "You earned it, and the beers."
Bonnie looked at the clock on the wall. "Crap, it's almost three."
"Oh, his plane's delayed, sorry." Cole said. "Just one hour but you have time."
Dean immediately took action. "Everyone who's covered in dirt go get cleaned up and we'll do the food. Where's Bobby?"
"I left him setting up the amps outside." Hope said.
"You did what?!" Cole paused.
"Dude he can take down demons and rebuild the Colt, chill out." She said.
"Did you bring the whiskey up?" Dean asked Luc.
"Four bottles enough?"
"We'll see how we go when Chris gets here. How are we doin' on the tire?"
"It'll hold." Hope said as she handed it to Sam to re-attach.
"You're amazing." Dean told her.
"You'll love me even more later."
"Why?"
"The Hooters girls are coming to my party." She said standing up.
"I hate you." Bonnie told her as Dean stared open mouthed.
"It's my birthday every day!" Hope smiled as she left the room.
"I don't know whether to kiss her or kill her sometimes." Dean said in frustration.
Sam laughed as he settled back into his chair. "Now you know how the rest of us feel 'cos she's you in a skirt."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The fire under the grill was going strong and the babies were wrapped up warm but the rest of them felt like summer had finally come as they basked in the afternoon sun enjoying one another's company as a car suddenly approached.
"Don't be scared." Dean said as Bonnie sat up from his lap. "It's just Johnny."
"How are we meant to explain this and in front of my Doctor?"
"Cole can keep her occupied, it'll be cool." He said standing up as the car drove in.
Johnny sat in the front with the woman he barely knew. "Something's off." He said straight away.
"What?" Steve asked.
"We left them looking like the Addams family and we come back to find the Walton's?"
"It's the kids' birthday."
"Nope it's something else. Oh my God." He exclaimed suddenly looking through the windscreen as the car pulled up.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Dean had sex." He stared. "No less than a couple of hours ago."
"How can you know that?" She asked.
"You don't have to be an OBGYN to know when a ladyflower's recently been in bloom." He growled and got out of the car before she put on the break.
"Hey!" Dean said walking towards him with a smile on his face.
Johnny punched him hard and Dean was shocked enough to hit the ground. "What the hell was that for?"
"You had sex!" Johnny pointed at him.
"Without you? All the time!" He said getting up rotating his jaw with one hand.
"Bonnie's barely cold and you're banging someone else?!" Johnny looked hurt. "I thought you loved her?!"
"I did! I mean I do…Jesus someone help me out here?"
Bonnie stepped forward nervously. "He was having sex with me."
Cole grabbed Chris and threw her over his shoulder taking her into the house away from the domestic scene evolving on the lawn.
"And who in the name of Dame Judy Dench are you?!" He was furious and looked like he was about to launch into her too so Dean stepped in front of her protectively.
"This doesn't get any easier. Hope?" Bonnie looked around for her daughter who seemed so good at this.
"Hope's inside." Sam wheeled forwards. "Johnny, there's no easy way of saying this but this is Bonnie?
"I'm sorry?"
"You heard me, Bonnie's back only she's English and a little younger." It sounded stupid even to him.
"It's true." Brooke tried to keep a straight face as the Chinese man started flapping his hands in front of his face.
"Steve." Johnny shouted. "Get the smelling salts!"
Steve didn't have a clue what to do and dropped Johnny's Louis Vuitton vanity case as he rummaged through it. "Will poppers do?" He asked frantically.
"He doesn't need to open his sphincter, just his mind!" Dean shouted. "Chill out man." He said squaring up to him. "That's Bonnie and I've managed to accept it and so have the kids so you're not gonna make her feel bad about bein' different 'cos even real English people can't help it apparently."
"I need proof."
"Not again." Bonnie moaned.
Dean turned to her. "You don't have to prove anythin'. We're all vouching for her, isn't that enough?"
Johnny raised his overly plucked brows. "No."
"Oh God." Bonnie sighed. "Ok, bring it on."
Johnny crossed his arms and stared at her. "Will or Grace?"
"Karen."
"Huh. Danny or Kinikie?"
"Please…Kinikie."
"Chaps or spurs?"
"Who's wearing them?"
"Dean."
She looked at her husband. "Spurs." Turning back to Johnny she shook her head and mouthed. 'Chaps'.
A small smile crept onto his face. "Best movie line?"
Bonnie thought for a second knowing this was the clincher. "Nobody puts Baby in the corner?"
Dean held his breath and watched Johnny's face for a response. He suddenly squealed and picked her up spinning her around. "Bonita!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Johnny and Steve had finally come to terms with everything and Chris had been fed a plausible line which would hold as long as they kept her away from Bonnie. The Hooters girls had turned up and thankfully so had Cole's bandmates so they wouldn't be too lonely.
Dean collapsed happily onto the grass next to his brother. "Dude, I'm Heff."
Sam smiled. "Only you could be proud that your daughter's Carmen Electra and your son's Tommy Lee."
"Tommy Lee? Wash your mouth out Sammy." He lay back on the grass resting on his elbows. "They're unreal."
"Yeah."
"You get enough to eat?"
"Yeah Dean."
"Thanks Sam." He said suddenly after a minute.
"What for?"
"For lookin' after Logan and just bein' there for me."
"I wasn't though Dean." He said seriously. "You never talked to me about how you felt or what you were thinking. How could I be there for you?" He shrugged.
"Was I that bad?"
"I was worried about you and you just took off, and I can't accept that."
"Can't bygones be ya know…bygones?"
"No, we need to talk about what you went through."
"Why?"
Sam sighed and looked at him. "Because I spent my childhood dealing with Dad's crap and I thought we were past that."
"You want me to tell you what it feels like? You know already Dude, it sucks."
"It wasn't the same."
Dean rubbed a hand over his face and exhaled, it was a gesture Sam knew well. "Ok, I wanted out but I wouldn't have done it, not with the kids and stuff." He paused. "I ran away because I was jealous."
"Of me?"
"Yeah." Dean shrugged. "What you have with Brooke and the way Dylan looks up to you."
"You have that too."
"Only with her…" He watched Bonnie laughing with Bobby. "Without her I fall to pieces."
"And like a row of dominoes we just follow."
"Ya think?"
"Dean, look around you she's been back a couple of days and you can already see the difference…you put on weight, the kids are happy, Johnny's back and it's amazing."
"It's pretty cool."
"Dude, it's awesome; we're a family again."
Dean looked at him. "Now she's back though you're in trouble, I'm focusin' everything I have on getting you up and runnin'."
"I'll get there."
"You ok?"
"Yeah, I think I'm good either way, I'm done with trying to be superhuman or like you; I have a wife who gets turned on by the weirdest crap you can imagine and Dylan doesn't seem to care so although I'll try I'm not stressing about it now."
Dean's eyes widened as he watched Brooke who was feeding Lily. "I always knew there was somethin' kinky about her."
"She's incredible." Sam told him. "I mean I don't think I would cope so well if she wasn't as cool with me. I don't think anything really bothers her."
"We lucked out." Dean conceded. "It's about freakin' time too."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If Dean thought he was the luckiest man alive to have his wife back then getting to play football with her and a bunch of waitresses from Hooters was like all his fantasies had jumped out of his head and come to life. As Hope was natural choice of leader for the girls, Dean tried to captain his team on the opposite end of the lawn. With Sam on the bench Cole, Luc and the band were trying to help him compensate for Steve and Johnny. Dylan was referee whilst Brooke and Chris sat on the sidelines with Bobby and Sam laughing at the ensuing mayhem.
"Can't I be QB?" Johnny whined as they huddled.
"And let you stand behind us while we bend over? I don't think so." Dean glared making Cole laugh.
"Ok the wenches are kickin' our asses out there, stop goin' easy on 'em."
"I'm not the one who keeps letting them tackle me." Johnny glared back at his captain.
"I tackle too."
"Yeah and soon we'll have the restraining orders to prove it."
"We'd stand a chance if it wasn't for your sister dude, she's like Xena or some crazy shit." Cole's drummer Wade told him as he wiped blood from his mouth. "Man she's competitive."
"You should see her in bed. Sorry Dean." Luc added quickly.
"Our only chance is to take her out; son it's down to you." Dean slapped him on the back as Cole stood straight and his eyes met with his sisters who made a cutting motion across her throat.
"Isn't that a bit harsh?" The skinny bassist Ben said gulping at the look in Dean's eye.
"Dude she could eat John Cena for breakfast and she'd use your scrawny ass as a toothpick after." He put his hand into the center and they joined in with theirs. "No mercy." He shouted.
"Are they always like this?" Chris asked worriedly as she held Lily on her lap.
"Psychotic and competitive? Only on days ending in a 'y'." Brooke laughed.
"Someone could get hurt."
"Only Dean's pride." Bobby smiled.
"You ready to go girls?" Hope asked her team with a scowl.
"Take it easy." Bonnie told her. "It's just a game."
"No it isn't, it's the battle of the sexes, I wanna hurt them!"
"Is that really your Dad?" A dozy blonde called Willow asked flinching as Nitro tried to hump her leg.
"Total DILF right?" Devon said making Bonnie frown and look over her shoulder at Dean. She may have a new body but she could still feel insecure when girls in their early twenties were macking on her man.
"Ewww, focus you guys." Hope slapped Nitro across the muzzle. "The guys are gunning for me so we're gonna play Devon."
"I can't score a goal."
"It's a touchdown and yes you freakin' can!"
"What if one of them tackles me?" She panicked.
"They won't." Hope shielded them with her body. "Take off your bra's girls."
"Hope…" Bonnie warned as they obliged without question.
"It's war mom and a good General works with her strengths…any of them see these babies bouncing towards them they won't be able to do anything."
"Except Johnny."
"He'll be so scared he'll run in the other direction."
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine." She said as they all joined hands. "Kick ass!"
"This is brutal." Chris commented as Dylan ran wildly down the sidelines blowing his whistle as Hope ground Luc into the dirt and Johnny squealed in shock when Willow ran towards him.
"You wanna get yourself some proper support girlfriend, they'll be like tennis balls in old socks by the time you're thirty." He advised seriously as she looked down her top.
They were halfway down the massive lawn and Bonnie had the ball with Dean's team playing defence. "You've had it now." Dean laughed as he crouched in front of her.
"Be gentle."
"You said I could be rough now."
Bonnie smiled as the whistle blew but managed to through the ball before Dean pinned her to the ground.
Sam laughed as Devon let the ball bounce before catching it clumsily and inspecting her nails. She screamed and started to run as the two guys from the band descended on her.
"Run!" Bobby stood up yelling even as he choked with laughter.
Devon wasn't as stupid as she looked and knew she couldn't outrun Cole when he joined in so she turned and lifted up her top running backwards as the guys all stopped dead and stared.
"Atta girl!" Bobby screamed as the whistle fell from Dylan's open mouth.
Devon laughed and ran over the line throwing the ball down to rapturous applause.
Hope jumped up with a triumphant yell and sprinted over to her kissing her on the mouth. "I couldn't have done better myself!"
Johnny looked like he was going to be sick. "Hey Katy Perry, there are children and people with eyes present." He said as he picked up Dylan who was still staring at Devon in awe.
"You alright?" Sam said ruffling his hair when Johnny put him down.
"Boobs." He muttered.
"You've seen boobs before Dyl."
"Only Mom's and they're…"
"Watch it." Brooke shrugged her shoulders defensively.
"They were a fine set." Bobby sat back down and opened another beer contentedly. "Looks like your kid's just become a Winchester Sam."
Sam hated the thought and frowned at his little boy. He may be seven now but surely that was still too young to start thinking those thoughts.
Everyone started to walk off the grass except for Dean who was still lying on top of Bonnie.
"Hey, you ok? She's not hurt is she?" Sam shouted over making them all turn.
"I'm fine." Bonnie laughed as she kissed Dean before he pulled her to her feet. "We just got engaged!"
They all stared at one another and Christina's eyes widened as they joined them. "Isn't that a bit soon?"
"Long story." Cole shook his head at her. "Why don't we go get some more meat?" Pulling her off the steps he hustled her inside.
"What brought this on?" Sam asked.
"I figured we need to make this official, I mean Bonnie doesn't even have a social security number yet and in the eyes of the law I'm still a widower." Dean shrugged.
"Since when do you care about the law?" Bobby sipped at his beer.
"I don't, I just like bein' married."
"Oh a summer wedding." Johnny sighed.
"Don't go all gay on us Fronk, we'll keep it under the radar like last time." Dean warned. "No fuss."
Johnny grimaced. "That's so dull."
"Dude you know me; since when is anythin' I do dull?"
"I guess congratulations are in order then, like we need an excuse to get drunk." Bobby smiled.
"When are you gonna do it?"
"Soon." He smiled at them. "I figure we can kill two birds with one stone."
"I don't like the sound of this." Brooke muttered.
Dean was grinning. "We can break the news to Rita and get married at the same time."
"Oh God no…" Sam groaned.
"What?!" Dylan shouted.
"The Winchester's are goin' to Vegas baby!"

"Are you sure it's a good idea Dean?" Sam asked him.
"Sure, I can't believe we've never been especially with Rita livin' there."
"Yeah but we got the kids and…"
"They'll love it, it's not all for adults haven't you ever seen National Lampoon?" He smiled.
"Not the best example man."
"Just a coupla days Sammy."
"And you're gonna fly there?" He asked disbelievingly.
"Nah, get on a boat to San Fran and drive down."
"You're insane."
"It's been said. Look, there's no rush and we have to get you on your feet first."
"If there was ever an incentive to keep me in this thing, that's it right there."
"Can't you be a bit happier about this?"
Sam sighed. "I wanna be there for you but nothing in our lives is ever straightforward and taking everyone to Sin City is asking for trouble."
"C'mon we may be older but does that mean life has to be borin'? Live a little Sammy." Dean nudged him.
They might argue at times but Sam knew he couldn't deny his brother the chance to get married in the place he had most wanted to go to since he was a kid. "Ok but there have to be rules."
"Always." Dean bent his head and gestured at Sam to name them.
"We get to fly down." He said meaning him, Brooke and the kids.
"Ok."
"There's no way in hell I'm dressing as Elvis."
Dean laughed. "Dude…"
"And you're not using Dylan to count cards for you in the Casino's."
"Damn." Dean muttered. "You drive a hard bargain Sammy."
"Deal?"
"Only if you promise I get a female stripper for my bachelor party."
"You're not a bachelor Dean."
"She doesn't have to know that."
"Ok, deal." They clinked bottles and sipped their beers. "Hey guys?!" Dean shouted at Cole's friends. "Put the girls down and get some music goin'!"
Everyone was slightly drunk and full of food as Cole and his two friends went to the area that had been set up. The best thing about living in a haunted mansion was lack of neighbors and they loved that they could make as much noise as they wanted.
"Ain't got much of a drum kit there son." Bobby shouted over at Wade.
"I got enough to make it work."
Cole got his guitar adjusting the microphone as Ben took the bass and checked for sound.
"Er, we kind of have a new sound…not your usual rock anthems Dad." Dean raised his eyebrows and Chris suddenly looked nervous. "C'mon babe."
"Uh-uh." She shook her head.
"I've heard you play before."
"Not in front of people."
"We're not people." Dean said. "C'mon Chris, what d'ya play?"
"Violin." She said. "But I'm not that good."
"Dude?!" Dean said to his son with a horrified frown.
"Trust me Dad you wanna hear this." He walked over and took Chris's hand. "I got everything set up." She took a breath and he could see she was visibly shaking so he kissed her. "It's just my family, c'mon." She walked over to the instruments and saw her violin.
"They put amps on those things?" Dean asked Sam.
"I guess."
"I hope to God she doesn't suck or this'll be embarrassin'."
Cole checked she was ready and smiled. "In honor of our Hillbilly Grandfather, my mad Chinese Uncle and my Dad who is white trash enough to get married in Vegas, this is for you." Cole cleared his throat as Wade counted them in and Chris started to play the electric violin shocking them all with her dexterity.
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been
Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.
The Hooters girls all jumped to their feet and started line dancing making it look like a real hoe down in Hazzard County and Dean was loving it. "Oh my God!"
The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
Ben came in with his bass and created some amazing sounds as Bobby got up and linked an arm through Dylan's as they began to square dance with Johnny and Steve making Sam laugh. Bobby looked twenty years younger and so happy it was amazing to see. Nitro ran in circles howling as they all danced.
When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done
He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no
Chris wasn't nervous any more and Cole would have given Johnny Cash a run for his money.
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a gun
I'm the best there's ever been
And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny will your dog bite
No child, no

As the sun went down Bobby and the kids turned in leaving the adults in peace to enjoy the stars and more of Cole's acoustic guitar.
Luc liked it when Hope had a few beers as she was languid and affectionate. "You think you will ever want to marry." He asked her as she leaned against him.
"No." At least she was always honest. "Do you expect me to?"
"I never know what to expect from you." He replied disappointed.
"I just don't see it for me…doesn't mean I don't love you."
"Yeah."
"Don't be mad, I'm too happy to have an argument."
"I know." He looked over at Dean who was laughing at something with Bonnie. Everyone had said they never expected him to marry and he was about to take the plunge a second time with the same woman so Luc decided not to give up on Hope just yet.
"As soon as they set a date, I'm gonna look for a hunt in Vegas, how cool would that be?" She looked up at him.
"Do you ever think of anything but that?"
"Does sex count?"
"I'm not joking."
"I've got my whole life ahead of me Luc; things to do, people to save. I'm not gonna be tied down but if you want to come along for the ride then you're welcome to."
"T'es incroyable."
"Thank you."
"It wasn't a compliment."
"Are you hormonal?"
"You know for once you could let me be the man."
Hope forced herself to count to ten. "You are the man."
"Sometimes I feel you castrate me, even Brooke gives Sam more respect."
Hope almost choked on her beer. "Why do you care about other people's relationships?" She sat up. "I'm not like them and any man who's with me would have to get used to that."
"Any man?"
"Not what I meant." She took his hand. "Cole feels like this all the time, he's the first one in the family to have to hunt with a woman and he can't deal with it sometimes but I'm not changing."
Luc sighed as he looked at her. "I don't want you to."
"I tell you where you can be the boss though." She smiled looking up at the house.
"You always use sex against me."
"And if you're complaining about that then you are a woman. C'mon Frenchy gimme some good loving."

"I think this has been our best barbeque ever." Dean said as he lay on his stomach with Bonnie leaning on his back.
"No arguments here." Bonnie said happily.
"I can't believe we're going to Vegas…Dean you'll love it." Johnny said. "You can come and see my old act."
"You don't sing 'It's Rainin' Men' do ya?"
"Have you seen it before?" Steve asked.
Sam laughed into his beer as Dean growled. "Lucky guess.
"I know you said you're keeping it simple but seeing as though I wasn't even invited to your last wedding tell me I get to style this one."
"Style it?" Dean stared at him. "What's to style?"
"He'll be the death of me." Johnny whispered loudly to Steve. "Dresses?"
"I ain't wearin' a dress Dude."
"Bonnie and the bridesmaids you moron."
"What bridesmaids? Just 'cos she talks like the Queen doesn't mean we're gettin' married in the Church of England."
"Westminster Cathedral." Sam said.
"Huh?"
"The Church of England isn't a building, it's a religion Dean."
"Whatever, I only have one church and only five people will fit in it."
"Ex-squeeze me?" Johnny stared.
"We're gettin' married in the Impala."
Sam bit his lip with humor as Johnny jumped to his feet. "At a drive through?!" He said the word like it left a dirty taste in his mouth
"Sure."
"Bonnie, no." He said.
"I don't care." She shrugged. "If it makes you happy I'll wear something nice though."
"Great, I'll call Vera Wang tomorrow and see if she does ra-ra skirts and rollerboots!" He responded sarcastically as they all laughed at him.
