Last one - finally. Sorry it is a bit late, real life got in the way. Know there isn't much point to the tale but hey I had fun writing it so sorry if it confuses anyone else.
The banging at the front door woke them up, banging at 3 am.
"Dean," she said nudging him in the side.
"If that's your mother, tell her it's a bit late to take in any of her strays," he mumbled as he rolled over.
"We're at your folks," Jo replied. "Or have you forgotten that?"
He moaned his response before he sat up. All the while the banging continued.
"You keep saying Stars Hollow is a nice little, normally insane, town, the majority of the time," she said closing her eyes. "And it isn't like I'd know who'd be at the door."
"Fine, but you take Ash when they wake him up," Dean said fumbling around for his pants.
"Great, you get the easy job," Jo mumbled slowly as she got out of bed to head to Clara's old bedroom just as the baby started screaming in protest about being disturbed.
"So much for a hunter always being alert and ready for anything," Dean said with a smile as he watched her only to be flicked the bird.
"I'm on vacation," she retorted as Dean headed to the landing only to be followed out by his father.
-o-
"The noise isn't my imagination then?" Randy tiredly said rubbing his eyes as the knocking intensified.
"No, but you got any idea who'd be at your door?" his son asked as both men headed down stairs.
"No, do you?" Randy said with somewhat an accusing tone.
Dean shrugged, half-heartedly as his father opened the front door to his home.
"You bastard," Jess said pushing passed Randy to launch himself at Dean.
"Jess!" Rory yelled as her husband hit Dean in the face before Luke grabbed his arm.
"You sick, asshole," Jess yelled.
"Jess, please," Rory said while Randy could do little but watch on.
"Don't," Jess yelled angrily. "He is not getting away with what he did!"
"What?" Randy angrily asked before looking at Luke. "And whatever the hell it is, get your nutcase of a family out of my house."
"Dad, it's okay," Dean said sniffing for a second.
"No it is not okay," Randy said. "I'm calling the cops."
"Dad, we can deal with this ourselves," Dean said before adding in a jokey tone. "Willow can hit harder anyway."
"Jess, stop it," Rory said as the younger man started to squirm in his Uncle's arms, reacting to Dean's obvious attempt to calm his father down.
"He is not getting away with what he did!" Jess yelled.
"We aren't saying that he should be given a free pass," Luke stated. "Just now isn't the best time to do it."
"So when is the best time to come bursting into my house to attack my family, Luke?" Randy asked to which the other older man couldn't give a reasoned answer.
"Ask you fucking perv of a son what he did, why we're here" Jess yelled. "There are laws you know."
"So you read them huh?" Dean replied with a weary sigh.
"Yes, we read them," Rory said tearfully. "Everything is in there Dean, everything. How could you tell a writer and a schlocky horror writer at that? How could you let someone write about us?"
Randy turned to his boy. "What are these crazy people on about?"
"Dad, if it was only a case of me telling Chuck," Dean said sarcastically. "And believe it or not those books are the ones that aren't too bad."
"Too bad?" Jess said. "You sick bastard, you…you think it isn't too bad."
"If you are talking about the parts I think you are talking about someone rewrote them to spice it all up. It wasn't like what was in the book and no-one apart from a handful of people know it is me and Rory," Dean explained causing Jess to completely lose the plot and make a grab for a lamp which seemed to illicit a metallic click right behind him in response. Which in turn seemed to garner the attention of everyone else in the room.
"Now whoever you are, can you calm down?" Jo said gun in one hand and fussy toddler in the other. "Because there are children in this house trying to sleep and I don't appreciate it when someone I don't know thinks that it is okay to wake them or their grandmother up."
She gestured to Jess to put down the lamp and to sit down. "Now we can discuss this like adults, but if you aren't capable of that you can think about leaving after apologising to Randy here, for you having the need to disturb his grandson."
"Jo, come on," Dean said as he watched the collective horror on the faces of the residents of Stars Hollow although Jo continued to train her weapon on the now seated author. Dean sighed. "That is Jess, Rory's husband?"
"Oh okay," she said lower the gun, before bouncing the child in her arms to try and sooth the little boy, before looking round the rest of the faces in the room. "Guess this is Rory and…?"
Dean nodded. "Yep and her step father."
"So they just finished reading them, then?" she asked.
Dean nodded. "Some vacation, huh?"
"Well you couldn't just have left Chuck alone, could you?" Jo said. "They probably wouldn't have put it all together if you hadn't done that."
"Fine, it is all my fault," Dean replied as she looked at the collective group of confused faces gathered in Randy's front room.
"Next year we can all go visit your sister?" she said with a chuckle to Dean.
"Which one?" Dean asked.
"The one who knows Chuck," she said.
"You just want to go to Maui, don't you?" Dean said lightly.
"And take advantage of Clara's condo near the beach, damn straight I do," Jo said as the rest of room continued to focus on the weapon in her hand something that didn't go unnoticed by Dean.
"I thought we decided not to bring an arsenal with us?" Dean asked Jo.
"It's not an arsenal and you know what can happen if we go anywhere naked?" she explained causing the room to look at her.
"Not like that," Dean explained moving to take the gun out of Jo's hand.
"You are such a girl," Jo replied as she bounced the little boy in her arms.
"Well someone in our relationship has to put in more than the appearance of one from time to time," Dean said.
She raised an eyebrow at him for a moment. "Really?"
He smiled at her for a moment before turning to face Rory.
"I didn't tell Chuck anything. Yes it is us in there, but believe it or not he's gone into a lot more detail about… but that was before he…. Rory, I didn't tell him about you or about the affair or any of it. His publisher wanted a back story for the character and he…."
"Just came up with our whole relationship including…" Rory said
"I know the sex parts aren't…"
"Sex parts? Dean, what are they talking about? And isn't Chuck that writer from this afternoon?" Randy asked. "Oh, Dean. You didn't drag that entire thing up, again?"
"Randy, it isn't what you think," Jo explained.
"Dad, I don't know how many times I can say this," Dean said. "I didn't tell Chuck anything."
"Then how does that guy know about how I lost my….?" Rory said before beginning to blush as she pulled away from her family.
"I…it's…I didn't tell him anything," Dean repeated.
"How could you and my mother Dean, my mother had to read about us trying to…in the car and …at Miss Patty's. It's in black and white Dean for all to see. But those times were private," Rory said tearfully. Dean took a step forward to comfort her only to be held back by Jo.
"Dean, don't. It's best they don't get it," Jo said. "They won't want to know."
"Know what?" Luke asked.
"Know that he is a sick pervert. I think we all know that now," Jess angrily added.
"Whatever it is can we do this in the morning, when everyone has calmed down a little? Randy said "And when some of us get an idea of what the hell is going on?"
"What is there to explain, Randy?" Jess said taking the paperback out of his pocket before tossing a book in Randy's direction.
"Woodrow there has a hard life where some girl plays him continuously. A girl who breaks his heart and doesn't leave him alone when he's married and who he breaks up with his wife for, even though he's was pining for her," Jess said to which Dean sighed.
"We all know exactly what happened back then," Dean replied.
"Yeah, but now we have a poor 'Woodrow' in an X rated version on sale for 6 bucks and change," Jess angrily said.
"I don't have any control over him. If you think I did, do you think I would have let him write me as a stupid weak sap that didn't really grow up until I moved away from here? That I'd let him and Becky talk about having a convention in this town?" Dean protested. "Besides it took us long enough to get him to stop writing about mine and Jo's sex life and the guys have the same problem. The only time he really cut it out without being told was during that time with Sam becoming a blood junkie and that was because he was trying to make Sam look more sympathetic."
"Your friend Sam became a what?" Randy said.
"It isn't exactly like it sounds," Jo said to which Dean just gave her a look.
She tutted."You are not exactly helping your friend here."
"Sam's the first to admit it was the most stupid thing he ever did," Dean retorted before turning to his father. "But there was a lot of other things in play when that happened to Sam and reasons Chuck cut that out of the books."
"Randy, can we all talk about this in the morning?" Jo said.
"No." Rory said. "I want to know why you told someone everything about us. How could you? I want you to tell me so I can go back to my Mom and explain to her why she had to read that stuff while my brother and my son were in the next room!"
"Yeah, Dean why?" Jess angrily said. "Why the fuck did you do it? Are you going to tell us or is it that you just get your kicks out of it you fucking perv."
"Hey, I get you are upset, but watch your tone," Jo replied to which Dean tried to calm her down.
"No Dean, sex story or not, they don't have the right to wake up our babies and then for him to use language like that about you in front of them. Especially just so they can get an explanation to take back to someone who I'm guessing is watching over their sleeping kids," Jo said.
"I know," Dean replied as Jess suddenly seemed to get that there was an upset little boy being craddled in his mother's arms.
Dean turned to Rory. "Look, I told you I didn't tell Chuck anything."
"Then how did he know?" Luke asked calmly.
"If you didn't talk to him. How did he know about Candyman about what…about everything?" Rory asked.
Dean ran a tired hand over his face. "You don't want to know."
"Why don't you guys get home and we can discuss this tomorrow?" Randy said to everyone before glaring at his son.
"We aren't going to duck out if that is what you are concerned about," Jo said.
"Fine, but you, Woodrow are going to talk," Jess said. "Bodyguard or not."
"I didn't say I wasn't, did I? And Jess, Jo's a lot more than my bodyguard so just keep you're shots at me," Dean said putting an arm round Jo as the group got up to leave, when there was a knock on the door.
"What now?" Randy said as he went to move to open the door to find a small beard man and two women on his doorstep.
"They threw us out of the Inn," Chuck explained bag in hand.
"I wonder why that might have been?" Jo said as Sera started to stare at the two of them.
"You told her?" Dean asked Chuck.
"As much as she can understand," Becky explained as Sera hesitantly stretched out a hand before pulling back in awe.
"You're…?" Sera started to say before grabbing hold of one of Dean's hands to look at the faded scar on it. "No I…and I told him that it needed more blood and pain. I'm so sorry."
"No, you are not a God you aren't responsible for what happened to him, you just publish their lives…in the gospels I mean," Chuck said in a voice that seemed to imply that this was a conversation that they had been having the whole ride over here.
"But he's Woodrow," Sera said.
"It's Forester actually," Jo said causing her to come under Sera's gaze.
"And you, you were…the murder castle."
"I wouldn't be so stupid these days," Jo said before Sera focused her eyes on the fussing child in Jo's arms. "Is this…no, no it can't be because that was years ago."
"No it isn't, she's upstairs with her Grandmother right now," Jo explained causing Sera to nod.
"She's taking it quite well, don't you think?" Becky said to everyone else before swallowing uncomfortably in light of the glare she received.
"This is unreal, this is so unreal. Because that means if they are real…OMG, OMFG, they are real aren't they and then their whole lives," Sera mumbled as Chuck fumbled in his bag and handed her a quart of Jack which she proceeded to down.
"You carrying large bottles around now?" Dean said with a sigh.
"It's the only way I can sleep," Chuck said. "Unlike some people I don't have the luxury of having enough time off to find another way to get though the day."
"We have got to do something about that," Jo said to Dean as Jess stood up to walk over to Chuck before coming face to face with the socially awkward blonde.
"Don't you say a word to Chuck, quasi... relationship… wrecker," Becky said.
"What?" Jess said.
"Oh, I know all about you," Becky said. "Chuck told me all about it; Dean was too much of a gentleman to tell me."
"Becky!" Dean snapped. "Leave them alone."
"If they leave Chuck alone, he isn't to blame for what that Teflon homewrecking princess over there did!"
"Telfon Princess?" Rory asked before turning to Dean. "Is that what you think of me?"
"No, it is what Chuck saw you do," Becky stated.
"Saw?" Luke asked.
"Becky," Dean mumbled under his breath. "Pot, Kettle remember."
"I hardly think drugging someone so they'd marry you and having an afair with a married man compares." The voice in the corner of the room said.
"Oh, SHIT!" Jo exclaimed as they all turned to look at the corner of the room.
"Come off it, it's my parents' house," Dean protested.
"How, who?" Randy asked.
"I was summoned." Balzathar said as he stood there leaning nonchalantly on the wall as the chaos unfolded around him.
"No, no, no," Chuck started to mumble grabbing hold of the remnants of the bottle of booze that Sera had been drinking.
"Oh no, not by the prophet," Balzathar said walking over to take little Ash out of his mother's arms.
"Balzathar, give me back my son," Dean said cagily before taking the baby out of the angel's arms.
"Oh please, like even if I wanted to I could never hurt this, little, ickly, cutey pie," the angel said as he started making cutesty noises in the baby's face.
"Like I trust an angel?" Jo said.
"An angel? Like in…" Sera said before passing out in the middle of Randy's living room floor.
"Oh, that is interesting," Balthazar said before turning his attention elsewhere. "Joanne, you know what the absentee landlord decided regarding how he thinks me and my brothers now have to learn about the complexities of free will. Until you can make him decide to change his mind you are stuck with me or at least until your boy can talk."
"You're another angel?" Rory asked. "Like the one who took the boys?"
"That was his brother," Dean answered her turning his attention to Balthazar. "And what do you mean that Ash summoned you?"
"Well darling, I was busy with…well ménage a…I forget the number and then all I can hear is little Ash in my head going on about how a noise has woken him up and now the milky one is cranky because someone has hit the one who takes away the poop," the angel said before adding. "You really have to get the child to understand the mother and father thing."
"Why couldn't you have just stayed dead?"
"Ask my father, that is when you see him or more importantly if," Balthazar said. "It would be funny if he actually got that father issues are somewhat helped by actually having a father around, not tying us to a family of hunters that seem to have fewer of them than most. Well that is until that woman pops out the other one's twins."
"Really?" Jo asked hopefully.
"I said maybe; don't get your hopes up. As much as Cas will push for us observing the next generation of Winchesters you know Dean's likely to screw those children up somehow, plus get pissy with us about learning from them," Balthazar said to which Jo mentioned something about leaving people in peace. In turn the Angel seemed to ignore her turning around to look at the upst people in the room. "Oh, these aren't the ones that woke him up are they? Let me guess, seeing how the prophet is here, I take it the books have upset them?"
"When don't they upset someone?" Chuck said to which a confused Balthazar just shrugged. Jo took the baby out of Dean's arms before ushering the small man up the stairs. "Let's find you somewhere to sleep."
"Fine. It looks like I am of no use now, so I'll be going," Balthazar said before suddenly disappearing.
"What the hell?" Randy exclaimed before Balthazar suddenly reappeared to peer at Rory.
"I thought I recognised you, hard to tell withn you wearing clothes," he said. "You have to let him know what you thought of the rewrites I did."
"Balthazar!" Dean said .
"Sweetheart, I told you teenage fumbling, even of the adulterous kind in kinky areas doesn't shift the volume we want without some garnishing. Even if it is just for the backstory of the sideshow and not the actual main event, but then again no-one had to add sprinkles to that aspect of their lives," Balthazar explained causing Dean to glare with more seething rage than the man had previously mustered before the angel unceremoniously disappeared.
"Prophet?" Luke said. "That guy called Chuck a prophet."
"Surprise?" Dean replied.
"A prophet as a prophet of the lord?" Rory asked. "And he wrote all about us and an angel did rewrites?"
Dean coughed. "Yeah, kind of"
"That means…" Rory started to say before bursting into tears.
"Hey, we are just a side show," Dean said soothingly. "Just to get people interested in the main part of the tale. What happened with Sam and Dean. They are the main event and believe me some of the stuff that they get up to makes what we did look like a walk in the park, so Chuck's readers really tend to brush over everyone else. The publisher just wanted to fill in the blanks with all the side characters so I got a book and so did Bobby and so did Jo and Ellen, but with me he has to use a made up surname. As for Balthazar he just embellished the stuff about us so it would…sell."
"No, no," Jess said. "That is bullshit."
"I wish because it would mean you wouldn't have burst into my Dad's place, would you?" Dean said causing Jess to back down. He looked down at Becky who was trying to revive the unconscious publisher, who seemed to bolt upright for a moment to exclaim about how that meant Lucifer had walked the earth after the seals had been broken, before passing out again.
"You can take the couch?" Dean said to Becky to which her face fell.
"I…" she started to say before Jo yelled down the stairs about how they needed to sober Chuck up as he had started to ask if they could go hunt down a couple of atheists, because it wasn't fair that they weren't right.
"You really want to be upstairs with him right now?" he asked.
"No, not really," she said with a shake of the head before glaring at Rory. "Even if she's here."
"Great, I'm the whore of Babylon," Rory said in response.
"No you're not, she's dead. You're a Jezebel," Becky retorted.
"Becky, thanks for trying to defend me in your...way," Dean said. "But, I'm not Sam, remember?"
"I know," she protested, before softening her tone a little. "Anyways I'll stay down here because Sera needs someone to take care of her."
"Thank you I think," Randy responded. He turned to his son with a questioning look, to which Dean just shrugged.
"You said you wanted us to visit here more?"
Randy rolled his eyes before looking around at the crowd gathered in his living room. The despondent Rory sitting on his couch with her other confused and angry family members while the strange girl dealt with the unconscious woman lying on his floor.
"Yeah, I did, didn't I?" Randy said.
Dean smiled. "Well, I told you to be careful for what you wished for."
"Yeah you did. But now I know that a 'prophet' and an 'angel' wrote about you in a book?" Randy replied. "And to think there were people in this town that thought you wouldn't amount to anything."
