Chapter 22
"Come on guys, time to eat!" Sam called as Mia set the last of the food out for lunch.
"Yes Uncle." the boys called running toward them.
Castiel and Alfie strolled over with Mary and sat on the blanket.
"I wasn't sure what you might eat, so I had the chef make turkey and ham sandwiches." Mia told them.
"We're not hungry." Castiel told her stiffly.
"It's ok Cas she knows." Sam told him when Mia looked at him funny.
"Knows what?"
"That you're angels."
"Oh, ok. We do not need to partake of food or drink." he explained.
"Interesting."
"We can eat if we like, but it is not necessary for our survival."
"Would you like to try one?"
"I would." Alfie piped in.
"Help yourself." Mia offered letting Alfie take a half a sandwich and holding the plate out to Castiel who finally accepted half too.
The angels inspected the sandwiches, casting glances at Sam who was munching on his before taking a bit of their sandwich. Mary pulled his hand down wanting to get a bite of it also. The boys devoured their food and sat back with a full stomach.
"Are you guys having a good time?"
"Yes." Chance said trying to hide a yawn. Now that had stopped and were full, both boys were finding it hard to stay awake. Tyler was leaning against Alfie slowly feeding himself grapes as his eyes drooped. Mary had taken residence in Mia's lap snuggling down and was already asleep.
"Cas after we're done, why don't you and Alfie take the kids back and let them take a nap." Sam suggested. "Mia and I can walk back down."
"I could come back for you too."
"That's fine, we're in no hurry. Just don't bother Dean and Esmee."
"Because they may still be copulating?"
"Yes." Sam hissed blushing slightly by the angel's frankness. "They're new to the human thing."
"I can see that." Mia giggled by Sam's embarrassment.
"Guys, Cas and Alfie are going to take you back to our cabin so you can get a nap and then maybe you can play in the pool again."
"Ok." Chance mumbled curling up using Sam's leg as a pillow.
"So take them back and zap back and we'll have the packs ready for you." Sam instructed Cas as he transferred Mary to Cas's arms and picked Chance up so Cas could take him also.
"We'll take care of them and I share return shortly." he assured Sam.
Mia blinked quickly as the two angels and three kids disappeared leaving her and Sam alone.
"I know, it takes some getting use to."
"I still can't believe it and I just saw it happen."
"There are some advantages, but most of the time it's like having five kids instead of three. They don't know boundaries at all."
"I could see where that might get awkward."
They began packing the leftover food and folding the blankets when Cas appeared beside them.
"Crap Cas!" Sam flinched. "A little warning."
"Sorry, the kids are safely asleep in their beds. It seems Dean and Esmee are awake and enjoying the hot tub right now. We didn't bother them."
"Good, these are ready. We'll be back in a couple of hours."
"I will relay this information." he nodded disappearing with the packs.
Sam stood beside Mia enjoying the view of the falls one last time before heading back down. He draped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her body against his. She leaned back into him relishing his touch. They stood like that in silence just letting the moment happen.
"I'm glad your brother decided to come here."
"Yeah, me too. This was a much needed rest for all of us, but the best part was I got to meet you."
"Back at you."
"Would you like to go out for dinner tonight, just the two of us?"
"Yes, there's a nice little place in town and we could go back to my place if you like."
"Very." he whispered kissing the side of her neck. "What's say we head on back?"
"Alright."

"Hey guys, when did you get back?" Esmee asked strolling in from the deck.
"Sam wanted us to bring the children back for a nap."
"Where is he?"
"Mia and him are walking back down."
"They are, are they?" Esmee smirked to herself knowing she had seen the chemistry between the two.
"Hey guys, have a good hike?" Dean asked coming out of the bedroom.
"It was pleasant; the kids had a good time."
"Sam still with Mia?"
"Yes, he wanted to hike back."
"Bet they go out tonight, alone." Dean surmised looking over at Esmee grinning.
"My thoughts exactly. Sam deserves to have some fun too." she giggled. "I thought we might grill hamburgers and hotdogs tonight, chips, baked beans, some fruit and I'll send the angels to see if they have any pies at the restaurant."
"Sounds good, I'll go check out the grill and get it ready."
"Castiel, would you and Alfie go down to the restaurant and see if they have any pies?"
"Of course."
"Oh and maybe some potato salad, that way I won't really have to cook. Here this should cover it." she told him holding out some money.
"Alright. The children should be waking up shortly."
"No problem, I'll listen for them."

Sam and Mia made their way out of the forest and headed back toward the resort.
"Let me go grab a shower and change. I'll meet you out front; say in a hour or so."
"Sounds good. I drive a Dodge Charger, pearl blue."
"Nice, well, I'll see ya in a few."
"Can't wait." she giggled giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before breaking off and heading for the main building.

"You have a good hike Sammy?"
"Yes, we did. I'm going to shower and go have dinner in town with Mia."
"Way to go there Sammy, feeling lucky tonight?"
"Dean! Not everyone has that one thought when going out with a pretty woman."
"Looks like Sammy might be getting some tonight."
"Dee, leave your brother alone. He deserves alone time too."
"Hey! I'm happy for the guy. 'Bout time he found someone to see."
"I hear your daughter, why don't you go get her while I finish the salad."
"As you wish my lady." Dean bowed before heading for the kid's room. "Hey Champ, your Mom's in the kitchen."
"Mommy can we have something to drink?"
"Yes my loves, did you have a good time today?"
"Yes, we saw fish and tadpoles and Cas let us play in the water."
"Wow!"
"Ta'po's make baby frogs." Tyler chimed in, accepting the juice box from Esmee.
"They do, we're eating in tonight hamburgers and hotdogs."
"Can we go to the pool?"
"How 'bout Cas and Alfie take you to the playground until dinner is ready and we'll do the pool tomorrow?"
"Ok."
"They'll be back shortly and you guys can go."
"There's Mommy." Dean cooed, as he carried Mary to the kitchen. "We've got a dry bottom and are good to go."
"Hey sweetie."
Ma-Ma." Mary cried reaching for her. Esmee wiped her hands and took Mary from Dean kissing her rosy cheeks.
"Can you put the salad in the fridge for me?" she asked hugging Mary close as she cuddled to her.
"How many burgers do I need to make up?"
"I'd say at least six; maybe the angels will try one or split one. It seems they enjoy some foods."
"Alright, I'll get them made up so I can get them on the grill in a bit."
"Hey guys, I'm heading out." Sam called as he ran his fingers through his hair again and checking the tuck of his shirt.
"Have fun tonight and tell Mia hello." Esmee called back.
"You have protection?" Dean whispered to him in passing.
"Dean!" Sam scoffed.
"Hey, just asking, just wanted to be sure." Dean snapped back. "I'll see ya in the morning." he snickered as Sam blushed before making a hasty exit.
"You're impossible." Esmee fussed at him.
"Hey! That's what big brothers are supposed to do."
"Your Daddy needs to take it easy on your uncle doesn't he?" she questioned to Mary.
Mary looked over at her Daddy with the mention of his name and frowned slightly before expressing her thoughts in her language.
"You tell him." she laughed.

Castiel and Alfie came back with the things Esmee wanted. Castiel began to remove the items and Alfie approached Dean.
"Dean, Sam said you would explain copulation between humans to me." he asked innocently.
Dean stopped what he was doing and looked up in shock and disbelief.
"Oh he did, did he?"
"Yes, I'm not sure I understand the concept. I mean this vessel has some ideas, but I think he is what you call still a virgin."
Esmee bit her lower lip to keep from laughing out loud as she listened to the conservation, curious to hear what Dean was going to tell him. Dean arched his eyebrows, uncertain how to explain the birds and bees to the angel.
"Alfie, you see, when a guy and girl like each other, really like each other..." he started steering Alfie out onto the deck for some privacy.
Esmee giggled to herself as she got out a snack for Mary.
"Castiel, the boys want to go to the park until dinner, would you mind taking them?"
"Of course not, should I take Mary too?"
"No, I want to spend some time with her; I'll send Alfie when he finishes his talk with Dean."
"Alright, I will watch over them. Come on boys lets go play."
"Yea!" they cried running for the door with Castiel speeding up to catch them.
