After dinner, Madison and Sam cleaned the dishes while Dean helped Brianna with her homework.

"Who gives homework to kindergartners?" He huffed, clearly agitated that his niece had to something as low as homework.

"Uncle Dean, it's only one page!" Brianna reasoned happily, making Sam and Madison laugh.

Dean helped her with her math worksheet that had six problems on it. She was able to do the first four but began to get stuck on the last two.

"Uncle Dean, I need help," she whined. Dean leaned over the table and looked at the problem.

"Ok well, what is 3 + 5?" He asked patiently.

"I don't know, that's why I need help," She said in a fake sweet voice.

"Ok let's see." Dean drew three circles on one side of the problem and five on the other.

"You have three life savers, and you steal five from Uncle Sam."

"Hey!" Sam piped in.

"Dean, please don't teach my daughter to steal," Madison retorted, without raising her eyes from the dishes in the sink.

"Shush, I'm teaching here. Ok, if you had three and you "borrowed" five from Uncle Sammy and they just happen to disappear into someone's mouth, how many do you have?"

Dean watched as Brianna counted the circles very slowly and finally popped her head back up.

"Eight!" She squealed, and Dean hooted and hollered that she got the problem correct. Smiling, she returned to the second problem.

------------------------------------

Meanwhile at the sink, Madison and Sam were doing the dishes.

"So, you going out with Melissa tonight?" she asked Sam. Melissa was a teacher with Sam, and they had recently been spending more time together.

"No, I promised Brianna I would read some Charlotte's Web tonight."

"You know Sam, you are allowed to go out and have fun. I can fill in for the night. I mean, why should you be so tied down? I feel like we make both you and Dean miss out on a lot."

"Hey, we choose to look after you both and neither of us regrets it for a single minute. Melissa and I will go for dinner on Friday, happy?" Sam smiled. Madison went nodded but was caught by another coughing fit.

"Hey you ok?" Sam asked worriedly.

Madison nodded, and pointed upstairs. She quickly excused herself and ran to get some cough medicine.

She didn't understand it, why wasn't the medicine working? She took a swig of the cough medicine and told herself if she wasn't better in a week, she'd go back to the doctor.

She went back downstairs and rejoined her family.

-----------------------------------

After the nightly routine of a bath, which left Dean and Sam more wet than Brianna, the little girl crawled into bed. Madison and Dean kissed her good night, but Sam stayed so he could read Charlotte's Web.

Once Brianna had fallen asleep in her arms, he gently laid her on her pillow, kissed her forehead, turned on her princess night light and went downstairs to find a similar scenario. Madison was asleep on Dean's shoulder while watching television.

"Hey," Sam whispered, sitting on the opposite couch. It was only 8 o'clock and Madison was out.

"She's really sleeping," Sam whispered, to which Dean nodded in reply.

"She still has that cold, maybe she's trying to fight it," Sam reasoned and Dean nodded again.

Dean gently woke Madison up, deciding it was time for them to go and for her to get some sleep.

"Night boys," Madison said, watching them walk to their separate houses. She locked the doors and heading right for bed.
