Hello dear readers.
Sorry it's been awhile since I posted one of these. I've been focused on Family Season Two, plus another story I started, plus well life. Anyway I only have this one and two others left to post. So if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to leave them in a review or PM me. I can't promise anything but some fresh ideas would be nice.
So this idea came from my mother. When I asked her about 'normal' things that hunters might not do this was her answer. My father went to as many of mine and my sister's conferences he could. (Not that he really wanted to, but it was his Daddy duty). So here is Dean and Sam doing being great Dads no matter what.
Everyone turned at the sound of the roaring engine. The shiny black car that pulled into the school parking lot instantly looked out of place. Pulling between a minivan and SUV the engine shut off plunging the night into silence. The few parents that were still standing outside the school watched as the front doors opened. Two tall men climbed out and looked around. Anyone close enough could clearly see the look of two people that would have rather been just about anywhere. Stepping to the back doors they opened them and held their hands out. Two young women got out smiling up at the men. The doors slammed shut in unison. Walking hand in hand the two couples headed toward the school.
"I feel like I'm on display." Dean grumbled as he opened the door. "Explain to me again why the hell I had to come to this."
"Because I did." Sam answered walking Hannah through the doorway.
Dean continued to grumble but followed them into the school. The town was smaller than others they'd lived in, so the school was smaller. The four walked down a hallway toward the multipurpose room. By the door stood a smiling woman.
"Hey howdy fellow parents. You must be new to our learning family. Well I'm Marcy Maxwell president of the PTA. If you would just write your names on these little badges that would be super."
Hannah was pretty sure that Marcy was close to breaking her face with that smile. She took the offered stickers that said 'Hi My Name Is'. She could clearly hear her brother continue to grumble as she took a marker and quickly wrote out all four names. She handed Kathy hers and Dean's then turned to Sam.
"Are you going to argue?"
"Would it do any good?" Sam asked as she placed his name on his shirt.
"Nope." Hannah put hers on then noticed that Marcy was still watching them, her smile had grown even more. "Is there something else we need to do?"
"Well there are a few groups that we're looking for parent volunteers for." Marcy waved her hand over the many clip boards laying on the table. "Let's see we still have scouts, both girls and boys. Coaches for hockey, softball, basketball, and touch football. And of course many clubs to choose from. Chess, gardening, choir, acting…"
Hannah held her hand up to silence the woman. "I am so sorry but are schedules are pretty full right now."
Marcy's smile slipped slightly. "But this is for the kids. Don't you want to help your little darlings be everything they want to be? Do everything they ever want to do?"
"Our kids do everything they want, thanks." Dean snapped.
Before he could say any more, Kathy pushed him through the doors. Hannah followed with Sam, flashing an apologetic smile toward Marcy. The place was packed with parents. Most stood in small groups talking about who knows what. A few stood with teachers, presumably talking about their kids. A few sat at tables looking extremely bored.
"Fine we came, we saw, now can we please leave?" Dean asked.
"We're supposed to talk to Logan and Kaden's teachers." Kathy said calmly.
"Right so they can tell us how great our kids are. How much potential they have. I already know all this."
"As do I." Kathy squeezed Dean's hand. "Just an hour, maybe not even that. Then…" Kathy looked back at Hannah the two women exchanging small smiles.
"Big brother I think our women have been planning behind our backs." Sam said putting his arm around Hannah's shoulders.
Dean studied Kathy's face for a minute before smiling. "Dad did seem to rush through that last job, so he could be home today. What have you two mischievous dears cooked up?"
"You'll never find out." Kathy bopped the end of Dean's nose. "Until we finish with our parental duties that is."
Rolling his eyes, Dean let Kathy pull him deeper into the crowd. The first teacher they reached was Kaden's. Just as Dean had guessed she went on and on about how great Kaden is. How smart, helpful, and caring.
"There is just one small problem." Ms. Fletcher said, she glanced around before leaning closer to Kathy. "I think that perhaps Kaden is noticing girls."
"So."
Kathy covered her mouth and had to fight down the urge to giggle. The pure shocked look on Ms. Fletcher's face after that one word from Dean was priceless.
"Well Mr. Winchester I…Well I just thought that…I mean that you would want to know."
"That my ten year old son is noticing girls." Dean shrugged. "I'm just wandering what…"
Kathy's hand shot up and covered Dean's mouth. She smiled at the teacher. "Thank you so much for pointing this out to us."
"Of course." Ms. Fletcher gave Dean a stern look before refocusing on Kathy. "I only say something because it might be effecting his school work."
"Of course thank you again." Kathy stood, pulling Dean with her. They were a few feet away before she turned and fixed Dean with a stern look. "Dean Winchester you have got to start thinking before you open your mouth."
Dean smiled. "I do."
Throwing up her hands she headed toward Logan's teacher. On the way they passed Sam and Hannah, who were waiting to talk to Ethan's teacher. Kathy stopped and laid her head on Hannah's shoulder.
"Next time can we switch? I mean their brothers right so the last name's all the same."
Hannah patted Kathy's shoulder. "Having hubby problems?"
Dean wrapped his arm around Kathy's waist nuzzling his nose in her neck. She giggled and said. "When am I not?"
"You must be Ethan's parents." Everyone turned to face a smiling woman. She looked up at Sam. "At least I'm pretty sure this is Ethan's father."
"It is." Hannah said. "I'm his mother, Hannah. This is Sam, and this is Dean and Kathy, Ethan's aunt and uncle."
"Ah yes Logan and Kaden's parents. I'm Miss Bradley please have a seat." She indicated a few chairs set off to the side. Once everyone was seated Miss Bradley smiled and asked. "So do you want me to go through the normal, your son is so great, so full of potential? Or would you like me to skip to the good stuff?"
"Right now I wish you were my boy's teacher." Dean said.
Miss Bradley laughed, more from the look Kathy and Hannah gave Dean then from what he said.
"I'll take that as let's skip to the good stuff."
"Please." Hannah answered, flashing another stern look to Dean.
"Well truth is Ethan is a great kid, but…" She held up her hand to Dean. "I've noticed he has a little trouble making friends. He's friendly, and willing to play when someone asks him. But he never does the asking. Now I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this. Plus this is the one and only thing I can think that would be slightly bad. Of course if anyone asks him about his family, well he can't seem to stop talking. Especially his cousins. In fact he asked me if he could bring them in for show and tell."
"What did you say?" Sam asked.
Miss. Bradley shrugged. "At first I wasn't really sure what to say."
"If you are worried that Logan or Kaden would be disruptive, or disrespectful, don't." Hannah looked at Kathy then Dean. "If you think Ethan is great, well he learned from his cousins."
"Well then I guess Friday we'll have a couple guests in our class." Miss. Bradley said. "To be honest I can't wait to meet them. The way Ethan talks, it sounds as though they just about walk on water."
"Only if it was for Ethan." Dean stated flatly, then stood. "Come on wife we have one more teacher to talk to."
As Kathy stood she exchanged a quick glance with Hannah, who also stood. "Actually honey, how about Hannah and I talk to the last one. You two wait for us by the door."
Dean crossed his arms, and studied the two women's faces. "First you drag us down here, now you're sending us to the corner."
"With the rest of the bored Dads." Hannah pointed toward the door they had come in. Sure enough about ten very bored looking men were standing around looking very lost. "Go on be normal regular Dads."
The two women didn't wait for an answer as they disappeared into the crowed. Sam thanked Miss Bradley then followed his brother to the door.
An older man that was leaning against the wall nodded at them as they walked up. "Join the club gentleman."
"What club is that?" Sam asked.
Another one of the men laughed. "The 'we're just fathers and have no real clue what's going on in our kid's lives' club."
Dean gave the man a cold smile. "Sorry but we'll have to stand over here then."
"Why is that?" The older man asked.
"Because we're members of a different club." Sam answered.
"Yep, the 'we hate coming to these things but we'd do anything for our kids' club." Dean turned and walked over to lean against the wall on the other side of the door. Scanning the room Dean's eyes almost instantly landed on Kathy and Hannah. They were talking to a group of woman. "So why do you think we were sent to the corner?"
"I have no idea." Sam said also watching the two women. "Unless that's the reason."
Dean straightened when a good looking guy walked up and started talking with the group of women. Kathy laughed, then Hannah. The guy laughed. Even from this distance Dean could clearly see that the guy was flirting, with both of them.
"Oh he is so dead." Dean went to move but Sam held him back. "Let go of me Sam."
"So not going to happen." Sam's voice would have sounded calm, to anyone but his brother. Dean could clearly hear the anger in his little brother's tone. "He's probably just a parent."
A few other women had joined in, and they were all giggling and hanging on every word the guy was saying. After a few minutes Hannah slowly turned her head and locked eyes with Sam. She tapped Kathy on the shoulder and nodded toward the door. Kathy smiled, said something that seemed to upset the guy. He said something else as he reached out to touch Kathy's arm. Kathy looked down at his hand said something then she and Hannah turned and started toward the door. They didn't pause as they walked through the door. Sam and Dean exchanged looks before hurrying after them.
"Hold up there." Sam caught them first stepping in front of them. "Who was Mr. Smooth Talker?"
Dean stood next to Kathy, his arms crossed and a stern look on his face. She sighed and faced him. "His name is Mr. Larson, but he insists on other parents calling him Craig. He's Logan's teacher."
"I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Dean said stepping closer. "Because I walked Logan to class his first day and I distinctly remember a blonde woman named Mrs. Upton."
"And did you also notice the rather large middle area Mrs. Upton had?" Kathy asked laying her hand on Dean's crossed arms. "She was pregnant. There was some complications and she had to go on leave early. Craig is her sub for the rest of the school year."
"Don't call him that." Dean snapped.
Kathy smiled stepping closer to him. "You are beyond gorgeous when you are jealous. That would be the second main reason I sent you to the door."
"What's the first?"
Slipping her hand under his coat and around his waist Kathy touched the handle of the gun she knew was always there. "That would be this, and your quick temper. Mr. Larson is a good teacher. Logan likes him. In fact he's the one that asked me to keep you away from him."
"Why would he do something like that?"
"He said something about not wanting his Dad to shoot his teacher." Hannah said. "Now perhaps we should continue this conversation outside."
They left the school and walked to the car. Kathy could see that Dean was still upset about something. Grabbing him by the arm and pushing him against the car Kathy took a hold of his face stretched up and kissed him. "Logan told me that his new teacher was nice." Another kiss. "Friendly." Another kiss. "And perhaps a little too good looking for your liking." A deep long kiss. Not letting go of his face she smiled. "And yes he is good looking. But he is also married with a new baby of his own. Now will you please stand down?"
Dean instantly relaxed a small smile on his lips. "For now."
"If you two are finished making out." Hannah called over the roof of the car. "I think it's time to move on to the second part of the evening."
"What second part?" Both brothers asked.
Kathy smiled wickedly as she stepped back. When she held up her hand Dean was a little surprised to see the keys to his car. "Well first I'm driving."
"Oh I don't think so." Dean reached for the keys. As his hand wrapped around Kathy's hand she whispered something in his ear. Letting go he stepped back. "You so don't play fair."
"Never said I did." Kathy stepped around him and opened the back door. "Boys in the back."
"And don't worry we'll move the front seat up so you two have room." Hannah said opening the other back door.
The brother's looked at each other across the roof of the car. They then looked at the women they loved. Smiling they got in the back seat.
