Chapter 21
"Guys, time to get up if we're going hiking and doing a picnic today." Sam said shaking each boy to wake them.
"Ok Uncle." Chance yawned rolling over and stretching.
"Me too." Tyler sighed looking up at him.
"Breakfast will be ready in ten."
"I'll be sure Ty's ready."
Sam headed to the kitchen where Cas was feeding Mary. He quickly made some instant oatmeal and poured juice for the boys sitting it on the table along with fruit. He sipped his coffee and munched on a power bar and some fruit. Ten minutes later, the boys joined them in the dining room.
"Are Mom and Dad coming?"
"No, we're going to give them some time alone."
"Ok."
"Mia is going to join us today."
"Can we play in the water?"
"We'll see, now finish up."
"I'm renting a carrier for Mary so I can carry her."
"Sam I don't mind carrying her, I won't tire as quickly as you."
"Alright. Alfie you're carrying a pack and I'll carry the food then. We're meeting Mia in twenty minutes so finish up and go to the bathroom before we head out."
"Yes sir." the boys mumbled with mouthfuls.

"Hey Mia." Sam called as he herded everyone in her direction.
"I see you got the gang up and going ok."
"Yeah, it's a challenge sometimes."
'I've got our lunches and drinks all packed and I when ahead and got the carrier for Mary." she said motioning to the things beside her.
"Thanks, Cas is going to carry Mary." he replied picking up the carrier and looking at it before making some adjustments. "Alfie take Mary so I can get this on Cas."
"Alright, Mary, Cas is going to carry you on his back." he explained to her.
Mary clapped her hands and babbled away in her language as Sam adjusted the straps letting Cas slip it on.
"Does it feel ok?"
"Yes I think so."
"Come here squirt, let's get you settled." Sam said taking Mary and slipping her into the carrier. He made sure both were comfortable before picking up the other pack. Mia had already shouldered a pack and was adjusting it as Sam did his. "Ok, we're off."
"Yea!" the boys shouted running for the trail head.
"Hey! Don't get to far ahead."
"I'll catch them." Alfie told him hurrying after the boys with Castiel behind him. Mary sat in the carrier looking around and patting Castiel on the head.
"Oh to be that young and full of energy." Mia laughed.
"Tell me about it, they'll be there before we even get started." he agreed heading after the kids and angels.

"Want to stop up ahead for a quick break?" Sam asked Mia as they crested a small hill.
"Sure, we're halfway there. We can see if the boys need something to drink."
"I can't believe how beautiful the scenery is around here."
"I know, Dad was right when he said this was the best place around."
Sam and Mia sped up a little to catch up the boys and the angels. Sam jerked his head up quickly when he heard Chance screaming out his brother's name in a panic. They both rounded the next curve to see Tyler on a rock balancing too close to the edge of a fifteen foot drop. Tyler looked down in fright as his body began to teeter out into open space.
"Tyler!" Sam yelled running toward the frightened boy.
Before Sam could get his pack off and try to rescue the boy, Alfie appeared behind him and grabbed his shirt pulling him back from the edge. He disappeared and re-appeared on the ground by the rock holding Tyler tightly.
"Are you alright?" Sam asked him, kneeling down to his level.
"Yes, sor-ry." he said in a shaky voice.
"It's ok; just don't go doing things like that. Why did you go up there anyway?"
"I saw somethin' shiny, you mad?"
"No, I'm not mad, just be more careful. Your Mom and Dad will kill me if something happened to you."
"I'll watch him." Alfie said sitting him down.
"Ty you stick by me, ok? No wandering off." Chance told him, taking his hand and leading him to a small rock to sit down.
"Ok what just happened?" Mia asked looking from Sam to Alfie and back. "I know I didn't see things, how did they get down so fast? He was there and then they were here."
"Well...Maybe it was the light..." Sam tried to explain Alfie's actions away.
"Sam, I know what your brother and Dad did for my Dad, he told me about the spirits. I even did a little research and I know things aren't always what they seem. Truth here, please." she asked earnestly.
"Alright, Castiel and Alfie are not our cousins, they're angels." he told her, holding his breath waiting for her reaction.
Mia frowned and looked over at the two talking to the boys and back at Sam. She bit her lower lip before turning back to him starting to say something, but stopping and looking again studying the angels.
"I kind of thought angels would be more, ominous and scary or something. They look like ordinary people. You're not joking with me, are you?"
"Nope, honest truth."
"Wow, I don't know what to say, I'm speechless."
"Yeah, takes some getting use to, but nothing surprises me anymore."
"You are an interesting person Sam Winchester."
"Thanks, I think. Ok boys we're halfway there, let's finish this hike and no more climbing things."
"Ok Uncle." Chance called, pulling Tyler up and heading up the trail.
"You're going to have to tell me more about yourself."
"What would you like to know?"
"Why are angels traveling with you?"
"Protection from demons and angels."
"Now you really have my interest peaked." she smiled capturing his hand and holding it as they continued to follow the others.
Sam looked down at their hands and felt warmth spread through him. He really liked this woman and she seemed to take what she was learning all in stride. He was afraid she would be frightened off by what they did; instead she seemed intrigued by it.

The last throes of sleep were being chased away by soft butterfly like brushes making their way along his jaw line and over his lips continuing down the other side of his face. He felt hands gently caressing his body as he opened his eyes to find mischief blue ones staring back at him.
"Did I wake you?"
"I don't mind being wakened with a kiss."
"Good."
Esmee ran her tongue over his lips ever so slowly before letting him capture hers in a passionate kiss. He ran his hands over her naked body, memorizing every curve and contour. Dean pushed Esmee onto her back as he kissed his way over her breast and down her stomach tracing a circle around her belly button with his tongue. She giggled and twitched under him as shivers raced up her body. He followed his path back up her body nuzzling her neck and nipping her ear lope enjoying her reaction. Finding her lips once again, he kissed her deeply feeling her arch toward him wanting more. He flipped her over and began kiss his way down her spine as his hands found her breast once again. She moaned under his embrace as her body responded to his caresses.
Dean pushed her legs apart and positioned himself, feeling her wetness as he entered her slowly hearing her suck in a deep breath. He grabbed her hips, raising them slightly for a better angle before moving a little faster and deeper. Esmee cried out softly when suddenly Dean reached around her and lifted her off the bed sitting her in his lap, while moving faster making her cling to his arms and gasp with pleasure letting herself get lost in their love making. He quickly switched her to her back and lifted her hips toward him before slipping into her again moving in strong, faster strokes as she cried in climax. He continued until his release, feeling her tremble beneath him. He tenderly kissed her lips as she lay in his arms in total bliss. Dean smiled down at her when she snuggled closer to him sighing happily.
"I love you so much."
"Same here. I can't get enough of you."
"We'll have to do this more often, one night get away. I'm sure Sam and the angels can handle the kids."
"I think we can swing that."

"Uncle Sam I can hear the waterfalls." Chance called excitedly as Tyler and him ran the last of the trail to the falls.
Sam and Mia joined them in a large clearing at the base of a double waterfall. The water ran rapidly down over the rocks, cascading into several small pools before the final drop thirty feet to the bottom. A small rainbow could be seen at the bottom as the sun sparkled off the fine mist at the base of the falls.
"Wow." he said to Mia. "You were right, this was worth the hike."
"Why don't we put the blankets over there in the grass?"
"Looks good. Cas let me get Mary out and you can get rid of the carrier for now."
"Alright, is she still asleep?"
"I think she's waking up and will be ready to play."
"Don't you guys go falling in or anything, those currents are pretty fast in places."
"Un'le I see baby fish!" Tyler cried pointing into the water.
"Boys, look over here, these are baby tadpoles. Do you know what they'll be when they get bigger?" Mia asked them kneeling by the water edge pointing at the black-brown bodies wiggling at the edge.
"No."
"Little frogs. See some already have the start of little legs." Mia explained holding Tyler so he could see and not fall in.
"Ca-Ca wa ee." Mary cried trying to get out of his arms and to the ground.
"Just a minute, Mary. I know you want to see too."
"Anyone want something to drink?" Sam asked taking his pack off and sitting it on the blanket he spread out off to the side of the falls and slightly under a large shade tree.
"Me!"
"Me!"
"Alright juice it is." he laughed pulling juice boxes out for the kids. "Mia would you like some lemonade?"
"Yes please."
"You guys mind Cas and Alfie." Sam told the boys before sitting on the blanket with Mia.
The kids walked along the water's edge looking for pretty rocks and looking for more fish or tadpoles. Sam and Mia watched them as they sipped their drinks. He looked over at her profile watching the wind blow sprigs of her hair across her cheek. With a gentle touch, he brushed the hair behind her ear making her smile at him. He leaned back interlacing his fingers behind his head and closing his eyes letting his body relax and enjoy the moment.
Sam felt lips brush his and popped his eyes open to start up at Mia. She tilted her head and arched an eyebrow waiting to see if he would kiss her back. Sam took a hand and placed it behind her head pulling her back down to return the kiss, tentatively at fist, before both got lost in the moment. They both jumped when Mary ran over falling onto Sam's stomach.
"Am-Am!" she cried babbling more as she crawled up between them.
Mia laughed as she sat up letting Mary sit in her lap. Mary patted her cheeks and awarded her with a sloppy kiss.
"Mary, I think Sam wants to be alone with Mia." Castiel told her reaching for her.
"No!" she cried snuggling back into Mia.
"She's ok Castiel."
"Alright then' if you don't want to play in the water..."
"Wa'er!" she decided squirming out of Mia's lap and running toward her brothers.
Chance and Tyler had taken off their shoes and were wading along the edge splashing water at each other. Mary's momentum kept her going forward to land in ankle deep water. She screamed out as the cold water completely soaked her. After the initial shock was over, she tried to crawl further into the stream before Cas grabbed her up, holding her at arm's length letting the water drip off her.
"You can't swim in this water Mary, it's too dangerous." Castiel explained to her, wading back to the shore.
"Wa-er! Mo! Ca!" she whined trying to get out of his arms.
"No Mary, you need dry clothes."
"No!" she cried as large tears began to form in her eyes and run down her cheeks. Her cry turned into a wail as Cas sat her on the other blanket and began rummaging in a pack for clothes and new diaper for her. Mary threw herself backwards on the blanket as she screamed madly.
"Mary Samantha Winchester." Sam said sternly, raising his voice above her screams. "You better be calming down right now."
Mary's screams turned into whimpers as she looked over at her uncle as her lower lip poked out, but she stopped the screaming. Sam continued to give her a you best behave look, causing her to be still while Castiel started taking her wet clothes off. He used the towel Sam had packed to dry her off and put a dry diaper and dry clothes on her.
"That's more like it." Sam praised her.
Castiel took Mary back to the others to play some more before they ate.
"Just like her father." Sam commented leaning back on his elbows.
"You're good with her, I'm impressed."
"Thanks, now where were we?" he asked pulling her closer so he could return the kiss with one of his own.
