Beep. Beep. Beep. A groan escaped from underneath a mountain of blankets, followed by an arm desperately trying to turn the beeping off. After many failed attempts the covers were thrown off and the blond glared at the clock. This time he managed to turn it off. It was only eight and the house was quiet. Maybe, just maybe he could get away with another hour of sleep. He quickly got back into bed and closed his eyes, letting the warmth wrap around him. His safety from the cold didn't last long.

"Jeff breakfast!" The voice of his dad pierced the peaceful silence. Jeff rolled his eyes before attempting to go back to sleep. "Jeff!" Hopefully since it was a Saturday, Dean would just let him sleep. "Jeffrey Winchester! Get your ass out of bed now!" so much for sleep. Jeff groaned as he got up and went downstairs. His dad smiled and ruffled his hair and he passed.

"It's Saturday dad. You couldn't have just let me sleep?" Jeff sat down at the kitchen table. They had moved out of the apartment and now lived in a pretty decent house, thanks to a certain angel that is.

"Sam and Bobby are coming over." Dean was always happy when Sam came over. His younger brother had finally settled down after saving a girl named Amelia from a demon attack. Jeff was convinced Sam was going to propose soon. They were in love and Amelia was good for him. After what happened with Jess, Sam needed someone. They had finally told Jeff about what happened and he was happy Sam could finally be happy. Heavy footsteps brought Jeff out of his thoughts.

"Morning papa."

"Morning Jeff." His darker haired father smiled. "Morning Dean." Dean smiled. It was the special smile Dean only used when Cas was around. It made Jeff smile that his dad's could be that happy and in love. It also made him want someone to look at him like that."Daddy!" The two year old in Castiel's grip screamed. Dean smiled and kissed her cheek. "Morning baby girl." Cas set her down in the chair next to Jeff. Her black hair hung in her face from just waking up. Amber Mary Winchester looked up at her brother with her big blue eyes. She was biologically Castiel's. After they had settled down, Dean and Cas had decided to have a family.

Dean wrapped his arms around the angel and kissed him good morning. Jeff rolled his eyes. "Hello, minors still in the room." Dean gave him a look and Jeff smiled innocently. Dean sighed and pulled away from Cas. Jeff had found out at an early age that his dad wasn't immune to Jeff's puppy dog eyes, pout, or innocent smile. Sam said it was because Jeff reminded Dean of their mother. Jeff had seen pictures of her. They had the same blond hair, same pale skin. His eyes were the same green as Dean's. It was the only trait he could see that was his fathers. Cas sat down at the table. Dean finished making breakfast and they ate. This is one of the things Jeff loved about his life now, eating as a family and not at some weird diner.

After breakfast, Jeff went upstairs to shower and get ready for his Uncle's visit. It was late afternoon when Sam and Bobby finally came. They weren't alone though. A lady and a younger girl sat in the room. Jeff hesitated at the door before Cas looked at his son and smiled sweetly. "It's okay Jeffrey." Jeff stepped into the room and smiled and hugged Sam, Amelia and then Bobby, then took a seat next to his papa on the couch. Dean held back a smile. He had adjusted to Jeff finding comfort in the angel's presence. Dean knew the feeling. Being encased by Castiel's wings was the safest place anyone could be, even if you couldn't see them.

"Jeff I want you to meet some good friends of ours. This is Ellen and her daughter Jo." Jeff looked at the people Sam had just introduced.

"Hi. I'm Jeff, but you already knew that…" He smiled softly.

Ellen looked at him. "Boy you sure have grown. I knew you when you were maybe two."

Jeff glanced at his father then back at them. They started telling stories of hunts they had gone on. Jeff stayed next to his papa and listened. After awhile Bobby shushed them. "Dean…I know you hung the hunter life up, but there's something coming. We could use your help boy."

"Bobby I gave up hunting…"
"Dean you should go."
"Cas.."
"We'll be fine. I am an angel of the lord you know. I can take care of myself and Jeff. Go." That wasn't the end of it. Dean tried making up stuff and Cas would come up with a counter attack. Jeff tried not to listen but it was useless. He knew Cas was just as scared as Dean was. Hunting wasn't just a job. It could literally mean life or death. Jeff had been standing at the door while his dads bickered. It wasn't until Cas looked up that they stopped. Dean sighed before sitting on the bed and patting the spot next to him. Jeff took the spot and Dean pulled him into a hug. "I'll be back. A week tops. I promise." Dean tried to reassure him. Even though Jeff was older and Dean had given up hunting, he still worried. He still thought back to when Dean left him.

Dean had been gone for a day. He called as soon as he and Sam had settled in a motel. Jeff missed him but at the same time he liked not having his dad around all the time. Cas was away too, helping his brother Gabriel take care of some angel who was trying to cast them all out. Amber was with Amelia giving Jeff a night to himself. The blond was on his laptop looking for a movie to watch. His best friends, Kevin and Wes Tran, were sitting on his bed waiting impatiently. Kevin was a prophet and once the demons had tried to take him, Dean had offered to keep them safe. His family now lived next door.

"We should go to the movies. Not just hack into one." Kevin stated. He was the oldest of the trio and didn't like the illegal things that sometimes happened on their get-togethers.

"Do you really wanna pay to get in?" Jeff's eyes never left the screen as he hacked into the theater's database. He added a false name for three tickets. He smirked and closed out of everything, making sure not to leave a trace. That was rule number one that his aunt Charlie had taught him. "Three tickets to insidious two."

Kevin sighed and Wes patted his brother's back. "Come on Kev. It'll be fun. Besides, you should know Jeff better by now."

Jeff laughed and stood to walk to his closet. He laced up his boots, slipped an iron knife in one and a silver knife in the other. He had learned not to take chances. He slipped a bottle of holy water into his jacket pocket before going back out to his friends. "What no weapons this time?" Kevin almost sounded hopeful.

"Now what kind of Winchester would I be if I did that? Come on let's go." The three made their way downstairs and into the Tran's car. Kevin drove them to the movies and they got their tickets without trouble. Kevin sighed in relief when they were inside. The brothers went to grab seats and Jeff was sent on the snack run. His gaze was drawn to a couple of dudes who instantly followed a worker outside. His hunter instincts took over and he made his way outside and to the back of the building. One of the men had the worker against the wall. "Hey!" The vamps eyes locked on the blond. "Look Erik. We don't have to share." The vamp named Erik walked towards Jeff. Fear overtook him. He hadn't hunted in years and when he did, he wasn't alone. Still he couldn't let an innocent guy die. Every part of him wanted to run inside. Pretend nothing was happening outside and be a normal kid again, but there was no going back. The vamp picked the blond up by his shirt and pushed him into the wall. His teeth turned and Jeff flinched and tried pushing the fear away. He managed to get a punch in and the vamp dropped him. Erik's partner dropped the shocked worker and went to help his nestmate. It was two against one. Jeff backed up and they followed. Maybe if he ran, he could give the guy time to go back inside and into safety. He got another hit on Erik and the fighting started. He got some good hits on the two, but they were stronger and Jeff was out of practice. They pinned him down to the ground. He tried to fight but it was useless. His knife had been thrown from his grasp ages ago and the other was still in his boot. Jeff tried to reach for it with no avail. The vamp grabbed his arm and twisted. There was a crack and Jeff's vision blacked out. The pain shot up his arm and spread through his whole body. The vamp kept twisting and Jeff couldn't hear anything but his own pain filled screams. "Not so tough now are you blondie." The vamp snickered and it pissed Jeff off. "Erik stop playing with your food. Let's take them back. People could have heard him." Erik frowned and turned to his partner. "Just five more seconds. I like making them suffer." He turned back to the blond. "Any last words?"

Something behind Erik made Jeff smile. "Have fun in Purgatory you son of a bitch." Erick leaned forward to bite and Jeff closed his eyes. He heard the scream and then another scream a few feet away. Jeff opened his eyes and tried to stand. He yelped at the pain in his arm. He felt warmth on his forehead and then the pain faded. Slowly he moved his arm and smiled when it wasn't broken anymore.

"Jeffrey…" The deep voice was laced with fear and sadness.

Jeff stood up and hugged his father. "I'm sorry. I know you told me not to leave the house."

"That rule is there to protect you. What if I hadn't been able to get here? If Dean finds out…Jeff?" Jeff had pulled away and made his way to the theater worker. He looked Jeff's age and scared to death. His eyes met Jeff's and Jeff stopped a foot away from the scared teen. He offered the brunet his hand and the other boy eyed it before taking it.

"Th…thank you…"

Jeff smiled and shrugged. "I wouldn't call that saving but, you're welcome." The brunet smiled softly and Jeff couldn't help but smile more.

"I'd probably be dead if you hadn't intervened…those things…are they dead?"
"Yeah they are. You don't have to worry about them."
"What about him." The guy pointed at Cas.

"That's my papa. He's good. We would both be dead if he hadn't shown up." Jeff looked at his angel dad. Cas was looking the other way but Jeff knew he was listening. "I'm Jeff by the way."

"Nick. I used to have a friend named Jeff when I lived in Sioux Falls." He shrugged.

"Weird because I used to live there and I had a friend named Nick."

"Jeff? Jeff Winchester?" Nick's smile grew as Jeff nodded. "Is this why you disappeared?"

"That's a story for another day. I should get going. Maybe I'll see you around." Nick nodded and they parted. Jeff was allowed to go watch the movie with the Tran brothers. Cas returned home to get Amber and wait for his eldest child.
