Author's Note: So this is the final chapter for this fiction. I am already starting on the sequel which will follow Sam and Dean as they transition into the real world of jobs, and kids, and complications. I think it's going to be a little rougher on them than they might think, life usually is. But ultimately it is worth the journey.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. Hope you enjoyed the story, it was my first try at this and I had a great time and learned a lot, I have even more respect for the Author's on this site than I did before, and that is saying something. So...yeah...thanks guys.

Epilogue

Dean looked in the mirror and admired how great he looked in his new suit, Anna had insisted that he go buy one for the graduation ceremony. His Med-school class was taking the walk at 2:00 pm sharp and he was so nervous. Dean hadn't really thought too much about what it would feel like to actually accomplish this. He had spent most of the last three years just trying to keep up with the work load, rotations at the local hospital, and making as much time for Sam as possible. Sam's graduation had been last week, and he had graduated top of his class with an offer from a top Law Firm in Los Angeles. He had specialized in Environmental Law, since he still had some of his idealistic expectations. Dean had chosen to specialize in Pediatrics, he knew that dealing with children would be difficult, but he also felt that he could make a difference there and he was desperate to do so.

"You can stare at yourself all day and you'll still be gorgeous Dean." Dean glanced up and smiled at Sam, who leaning against the doorframe in an amazing navy blue pinstripe

suit and a yellow tie that looked phenomenal on him. Dean smiled over at Sam and then looked down at the floor in sudden embarrassment.

Sam pushed off the frame and walked over to Dean, pulling him in for a long slow kiss and then resting his forehead against Dean's in silent connection. Dean breathed in the scent of his partner deeply and brought his arms up and wrapped them around Sam. "I love you Sam." He murmured against Sam's shoulder.

Sam pulled away slightly and stared into Dean's soft green eyes and smiled again, "I love you too Dean. What's brought this on?"

Dean shook his head and pulled away, "Nothing bad or weird Sam. Just we are going to be like official adults, with lives and careers, and a mortgage. I just can't believe that I made…that's all."

Sam tilted his head to the side and then smiled sweetly, "I can't believe it either. Graduations and then we close on that house next week; I can't really wrap head around it either." He snorted and continued. "I guess it had to happen sometime thought right?"

Dean nodded his agreement and stepped away from Sam and sank onto their California king sized bed, and then reached for his shoes, sliding them into place.

"Sam, can I ask you something?" He really wanted to talk about this, but he was scared at what Sam might say.

Sam gave him a funny look, "You can always ask me anything Dean."

Dean glanced down at the carpet again, and gathered his courage; this had been weighing heavily on his mind for years and for months really seriously. He pulled in a breath of air to steady his voice, "I want kids Sam."

Sam's eyebrows raised and he snorted, "Well Dean, it's a bit late to change teams, so how do you propose we do this?"

Dean's face lit up in a smile, Sam hadn't immediately shot him down. "Uh, I was thinking adoption?"

Sam nodded slowly as he tried to absorb that Dean was serious, he wanted kids, with Sam, and he was willing to talk about adoption. The thought had never really occurred to him before, it wasn't that he didn't want kids, he just never really considered that he and Dean could really be like other couples. They could have careers, and a home, and they could fill that home with children. What an extraordinary thought.

A slow smile spread across his face and his dimples deepened as he walked over to where Dean was sitting on the bed, staring at him with expectation and fear on his face. Sam leaned over and kissed Dean deeply, and knelt down in between Dean's knees and placed his hands on either side of Dean's face.

"Yes, Dean. I want kids. With. You."

Dean's eyes lit up with delight and he smashed his lips back into Sam's and ran his fingers through Sam's soft hair pulling the taller man down on him as he leaned back on the bed. Sam took the hint and licked at Dean's lips, which parted easily, allowing Sam's tongue access to the sweet recesses of Dean's mouth. Their tongues battled for a moment, before Sam pulled reluctantly away from Dean's luscious lips, and leaned back. "Dean we gotta stop. We have somewhere important to be…remember? That whole graduation, valedictorian, college thing…any of this ringing a bell."

Dean grinned and sat up on his elbows, "Oh yeah…Sammy I remember all of it." He looked away for a brief moment, "And tomorrow we start the rest of our lives."
