A/N: I don't own anyone but my OC's….though I wished I owned the guys….*sighs*

Sam hurried and finished cleaning the kitchen as Brady got the living room all ready. Markus sat with the twins watching the hunters scurry around.

"You need any help Sam?" Markus hollered.

"Nope, you just sit tight," Sam peered from around the corner, "Brady and I have it all under control."

Markus shrugged and continued playing with Rowan and Gabe. The immortal smiled seeing the twins at such peace. Gabe looked so much like Castiel with those striking blue eyes and tousled dark hair. Rowan was a spitting image of Dean with those soulful emerald orbs and freckles that dotted the bridge of her nose. She was even starting to sound and act like him too which made Markus wonder if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Okay they're on the way home," Brady snapped his phone shut and finished up.

Rowan looked up at Brady and pulled on his pant leg.

"Bwady…." She tugged harder. Brady leaned over and gathered her up.

"What's wrong shining star?"

Rowan kissed him partly on the mouth and lips and smiled at the hunter.

"You're welcome, kiddo," he knew what she was trying to tell him. He and Sam had helped in saving Brooklyn and they wouldn't lose their mother so early in life. Rowan turned and pointed at something on the table, her book.

Markus handed it to him and Brady eased his frame along with Rowan's in the chair. Brady opened the thin hard book and started reading Where the Wild Things Are to his little niece. Sam entered with a towel slung over his shoulder and paused watching as Rowan had begun to doze off against Brady's chest.

"Is everything ready Sam?" Markus asked from the floor.

"Yep, all we're missing are two hunters and an angel."

Gabe looked over at his sister seeing she was fast asleep as Brady was starting to go that way as well. The copy of Where the Wild Things Are slipped to the floor and landed between Brady's feet.

"Wowan sleeping….." He pointed over to his sister. Markus smiled then looked down at the little angel.

"Yep she sure is," Markus wrapped his large arms around the son of Castiel and kissed the top of his head.

Sam knelt down and ruffled the wild dark tresses.

"Hey Gabe, Mom Daddy and Daddy Dean will be home soon," the little blue eyes lit up until they were a bright sapphire hue. Gabe's mouth dropped open and his eyes went as wide as saucers.

"I missed Mama…." He told the hunter.

"I know kiddo, we all did. But your daddies and Grandpa Gabriel brought her back."

"Did someone mention my name?" The archangel appeared behind Sam.

"Well we were telling Gabe about how you Dean and Cas got Brook back."

A slight pink tinge brightened the archangel's face indicating he was acting more and more human all the time.

"It's true Gabe, you did do the spell."

The Messenger stayed quiet and grinned a little. Gabe giggled at the sudden coyness of the archangel.

"Gwampa wed…."

"Doesn't he look so cute?" Markus teased which only encouraged the little seraph to giggle harder which in turn caused the archangel's face to change to an ever deeper shade of red.

Just then the roar of the Impala greeted all of their ears. Rowan woke up and started jumping up and down on Brady's lap. Her foot slipped and pressed down in a very uncomfortable place which woke Brady up rather quickly.

"Rowan…." He gritted his teeth and lifted her down to the floor. She darted off towards the door with Gabe following close behind.

Castiel kept an arm around Brooklyn's waist while Dean came around to the other side and slipped an arm around the other side.

"Guys, I'm not an invalid," Brooklyn protested.

"No, you are recovering from a vicious attack by Azazel and Cas and I are ensuring you don't hurt yourself again," Dean quipped.

"No, you two are being overbearing mother hens," Brooklyn sighed.

Rowan and Gabe were standing but now Sam Markus and Brady were there as the door opened up.

"Mama!" Rowan stretched her arms out but Dean took her instead.

"Mom's still a bit sore baby," he kissed her cheek. Rowan continued reaching out for her until Brooklyn kissed her little cheek and held her little hands.

"Oh I missed you my little shining star," Rowan pecked her mother's lips and Dean pulled her back. Sam had Gabe waiting in his arms.

"There's my little warrior," Gabe touched her face with his tiny hands and studied the bruises that were finally starting to heal.

"Mama hurt," his little fingers brushed over the bruises and scrapes.

"Yeah Mom's still hurt but she's going to get better," Castiel said in an encouraging tone.

"Weally?"

"Well of course she is little guy," Brady smiled down at his little nephew.

Castiel took his son from Sam and allowed Brady to help her towards the living room.

Gabriel stood and took his daughter in his gentle arms.

"Welcome home my daughter," he kissed her forehead. Brooklyn tightened her arms around her father realizing how much she missed him and everyone else she loved. The archangel looked down seeing the hunter's eyes brimming with tears.

"Brooklyn what's the matter?" He pushed her back slightly.

"I almost did it…..I almost went with Caleb," her voice was a low whisper.

"But you didn't my daughter," he counteracted.

"I know but he was right about something: If I had stayed I would've….."

"There will no talk of such things. Not now and not ever," Gabriel held his daughter letting his love for her speak for him. Brooklyn could feel the divine warmth flowing through her body and soothe her soul.

Castiel and Dean entered with the kids in tow.

"Mama," Rowan pouted slightly.

Dean smiled and saw how much she looked like him right then and there. He took her little hand and rubbed it with his thumb before walking over.

"Well hello Rowan," Gabriel took his granddaughter and held her high watching her start to giggle and grin revealing several new teeth.

Dean came up behind Brooklyn and secured his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek and watched as Gabriel continued playing with Rowan. Gabe put a little hand on Brooklyn's arm hoping to get her attention.

"Mama," he stuck his arms out hoping she would hold him.

"Gabe, Mom's not strong enough yet," Castiel noticed his face fall but Brooklyn encircled her arms around her angel and son hoping it would suffice. Gabe buried his face in her neck and locked his arms around her neck. He tried to get his legs around her but Castiel held fast in his grip on the little one.

"No Gabe," Castiel whispered in his son's ear.

"No," Gabe kept his arms firmly around her neck, "Mama no go."

"But I'm not going anywhere sweetie. I'm staying right here. I promise," she swore to him.

Gabe wasn't fully convinced but he released his hold on her and let Castiel take him back. Brooklyn leaned in touching his little face then kissed him on the cheek.

"Wove you…." He said in a tiny voice.

"I love you too Gabe," she sighed. Gabe ran a finger over her nose then lips before resting his hand against Castiel's trench coat.

Gabe yawned and rested against the angel as Rowan was starting to get sleepy as well.

"I shall put her down," Gabriel sat down on the couch with her dozing off in his lap.

"He sure does love them," Dean observed.

"Yes, Gabriel would do anything for Rowan and Gabe," Markus appeared with Brady and Sam.

"At least they'll have their grandfather in their life," Sam said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Dean knew Sam missed their parents and wished he had the chance to meet their grandparents. But the younger brother didn't feel any resentment towards Dean for doing so. In fact Sam was thrilled Gabe and Rowan would have so many loved ones around them as it made him feel complete in a few ways. And the twins loved him; they called him Uncow Sammy with such love and fondness for him that the name had grown on him.

"Well I don't know about you guys but we have a dinner to prepare," Brady announced.

Brooklyn had a feeling they would plan something for her and finally allowed them to fuss over her while the twins and the meal was taken care of. Sam sat down beside her and noticed how much better and healthier she was looking.

"Brook, I wanted to say thanks. You forgave me for the problem with Ruby and allowed me in to the family with open arms. You don't know how much that means to me."

Brooklyn took his hands in hers and smiled warmly at the hunter.

"Sam, I know you have a big heart and soul and Ruby used you. It's happened to all of us. Even Cas has been tricked a time or two. My father and Chayyiel already forgave you and honestly I don't think they were even mad to start with."

Sam smiled and carefully hugged the hunter.

"Thank you," he whispered.

"Sam, you're family, always have been always will be," she said.

"Uncow Sammy," Rowan was crawling up his legs. Sam couldn't but help to smile at the little one as she sat comfortably in his lap.

"Hey Rowan," he hugged her tightly. "How's my favorite niece?"

"Hungwy…." She pointed at her stomach.

"Well we're gonna have to do something about that aren't we?" He tickled Rowan eliciting a few squeals and laughs from her. Brooklyn sat there watching Sam and Rowan bond. She could see his soul finally healing the last few wounds that were left on his heart. All it took was the laughter and love of two certain twins.

Castiel came in with Gabe in his arms. The little angel saw the hunter on the couch and twisted around to face her.

"It's okay Cas, I'm sitting down," Castiel carefully placed Gabe on her lap and watched as the little guy rested his head and body against hers.

"You don't know how wonderful it is to be home," she looked up at her angel then over at Sam as he now had Rowan on the floor blowing on her little belly and by the expression on her face she was clearly reveling in the attention.

"I think I do Brook," the angel sat down beside her.

Dean was helping Brady in the kitchen as Markus was setting the table. The hunters had grown closer in the three years since Rowan and Gabe had been born.

"So do you and Brook want another one?"

"Wait what? No, I think one is plenty," Dean grinned as he chopped up the vegetables.

"Sure, you say that now but after Rowan and Gabe get older you may be thinking otherwise," Brady teased.

"Oh no, one round of dirty diapers and spit up was enough for me and Cas."

Brady chuckled as he pulled out the chicken from the oven. Dean spied the plump pieces of poultry resting on a tempting bed of wild rice.

"Damn Brady you are definitely one helluva cook," Dean inhaled the vibrant scent of rice and parsley as Brady headed out to the dining room. He had chicken tenders baking for the twins along with French fries to suit. And for dessert an ice cream cake was waiting in the freezer.

Brady called everyone in and the group filed in around the table. Brooklyn was seated between Castiel and Dean and the twins were over by Sam. As they got ready to sit down there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," Markus got up and suppressed a small smile.

Brooklyn looked up to see Ellen and Bobby standing in the doorway. The older hunters beamed at Brooklyn as they each took her in their embrace.

"Thank god you're okay," Ellen said.

"Welcome back," Bobby smiled at the hunter.

Rowan and Gabe were bouncing in their seats as they saw Ellen and Bobby.

"Aunt Ewellen…..Uncow Bobby….." Gabe and Rowan continued bouncing around until the hunters had them in their arms.

"You know we can't stay away too long from you two," Ellen told the twins. Bobby bounced Gabe on his knee as it was something the little angel loved.

"Alright if everyone's ready….." Brady brought in the last side dish.

The twins behaved as they remained seated with the hunters. Brooklyn knew her little ones loved Ellen and Bobby like family and for them seeing the pair was like Christmas. Dean ate heartily as Brady's cooking had that effect on him. Castiel watched as Brooklyn's appetite had started to return albeit slowly.

"This is so much better than hospital food," she took a heaping spoonful of rice in her mouth.

Rowan and Gabe wore more ice cream cake than getting it in their mouths. But Bobby and Ellen merely wiped their faces and helped them finish up watching as they took the spoons and continued to dive in to the blend of angel food cake and ice cream.

Brooklyn relaxed in her seat taking Dean and Castiel's hands in her own. Dean could see his daughter was getting his appetite while Gabe tried to be a bit more refined in his dining habits. She had her family back and that was all that mattered.

Bobby and Ellen were going to stay in town for a few days and promised to be back the next day. The kids pouted but when they heard the news Ellen and Bobby would be back they brightened back up.

"They love you two so much," Brooklyn said as the hunters headed out.

"Well, it's been hard since I lost Jo but seeing these two and how happy you all are together it helps my heart heal that much more," Ellen wiped away a few tears.

"No cwy Aunt Ewellen…." Rowan kissed her cheek.

"Thanks baby," she couldn't but help to smile back at the little girl. Rowan was so much like Dean.

"So you're gonna take them to the P-A-R-K tomorrow?" Dean asked.

"Oh yeah," Bobby winked at Gabe. The little angel smiled back.

Later that night Brooklyn was resting comfortably with her angel and hunter nestled on each side. Her hair covering the large area where they had to remove a part of her skull. Castiel knew she was upset about it despite her saying it was only hair and it would grow back. He waited until she was asleep and placed his hand over the shorn area. The angel watched as the hair grew out until it matched the length of her coppery tresses. He smiled to himself before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
