A/N: I'm so sorry about the long delay in updating. I wanted to update earlier but I really wanted to finish editing all my earlier chapters for this story and it took longer than I thought.
"I'm taking him inside." Gibbs yelled over his shoulder as he took the now limp body into the warmth of the house.
Tony and Bobby were the last ones remaining by the smoldering pyre while everyone else had slowly, after paying their silent respects, made their way into the Hunter's house hours ago.
"I suppose we should see how your fool headed brother is doing." Bobby said when only smoke was leaving the pile of ashes instead of flames.
"I just need another minute I'll catch up with you. " Tony said waving off the older man.
"Ok kid." Bobby said tipping his hat to the remains of his friend one last time before making his way through the snow drifts back towards the comfort of his warm home.

Tony took a minute to remember life before the fire before he spoke up, "Hey Dad remember when you and Mom brought Dean Home from the hospital? Remember how you said that now I was a big brother and I was going to be the best one ever." Tony paused as a stray tear slid down his check and he wiped it away quickly before he continued, "Now I don't get to the best one ever because now I have to be the best Dad because you aren't here to be one. I miss you so much. You don't even know I just hope you are happy with Mom. See you later Dad." Tony finished and awkwardly ran to catch up with Bobby.
"You get everything said?" Bobby questioned turning to face the younger man before they started up the front steps.
"Everything's good Bobby." Tony said smiling and he couldn't help hoping that maybe one day that would be true.

Hanging his worn navy blue jacket on one of the hand carved pegs by the front door Tony was amazed at the chatter that filled the house.
"Tony! Come look at the new game Abby taught me." Sam yelled running to his brother and began to pull him along towards the living room.
"Just a second buddy I need to go check on Dean." Tony said worried about the damage that may have been done to Dean's hands and fingers.
"He's in here." Sam answered pulling his brother along again, "Everyone is in here."
Tony turned to look at Bobby who had walked in behind Tony and was closing the door behind him, "Don't look at me boy. I'm going to get something started for dinner."
Curious to see what everyone was doing in the study he followed eagerly behind his brother and was happy to see every talking and by the sounds of it exchanging stories of the Winchester brothers.
Spotting Gibbs sitting in the window seat with Dean asleep leaning against him Tony walked over quickly to check on his brother.
"How's he doing?" Tony interrupted Gibbs and Ducky who seemed to be talking about something case related.
"It is not as bad as it could have been. He has minor burns nothing that shouldn't heal within the next couple of days. However I find his mental state is much worse then I suspected. Maybe you should consider finding him a counselor once we return home?" Ducky suggested as he looked from brother to brother.
"You think it is that bad? I don't think Dean will do it though." He answered truthfully because Dean had an aversion to Doctors and Tony was surprised that he was willing to let Ducky look at him.
"I think that it couldn't hurt. Besides I think it would be could for you and Sam as well to talk to someone. I would recommend this to anyone who would be going through as big a change in lifestyle as you and your brothers are." Ducky continued trying not to make the young agent feel self conscious.
"I understand thank you Ducky. I will see what I can do." He replied and after thanking Gibbs and settling Dean down onto the window seat he left to sit by Sam who was in the middle of a game with Abby and everyone else.
"So what do we have going on here?" Tony questioned trying to figure out the six carded game.
"It's easy." Sam bragged as he apparently played a really good card making everyone else groan.
"Your little brother just handed us our behinds. Again." Abby said writing down the scores everyone was telling her and finished tallying up the scores. "Looks like Sammy won again. You ready to join in?"
"Let's see if big brother can't beat you." Tony joked ruffling Sam's hair and listened intently to the directions that were repeated to him.

The rest of the evening passed without a hitch. Everyone was laughing and trying to keep the Winchesters and friends in good spirits and succeeded in their task. The next day everyone was going to be leaving for home and started what would be a new life.
Tony was about to climb the stairs to bed were his brother's were already sleeping and had been for some hours already when Pastor Jim pulled him aside.
"Tony how are you doing?"
"I would be doing way better if everyone would just quit asking me that." Tony said started to get annoyed at the question that kept popping up every time he looked at someone the wrong way.
"I'm sorry it's just that I'm worried about you and I think tha-"
"You think that me and my brothers should see a shrink to talk about our feelings blah blah blah. Yes I already know Ducky already gave me the speech. I will talk to them and see if it is something that they think would help but I won't force them into anything they are uncomfortable with." Tony finished.
"I didn't mean to hit any raw nerves I just want to make sure you are ok. I love you guys so much I would be hurt to see anything bad happen to you." Pastor Jim replied watching the oldest Winchester's facial expression.
"I understand. Thank you Pastor Jim." Tony said and leaned forward to wrap the Pastor in a hug before retreating to bed.

"Make sure you idjits call me when you land and keep me updated." Bobby said leaning into the rolled down passenger window of the van.
"Yes Mother." Tony laughed when he saw the older man scowl at him.
"Ya little shit." Bobby joked but then seriously answered, "Seriously though call me and don't forget to let me know if you need anything."
"Got it Bobby," Tony finished and only rolled up the window after everyone had yelled their good byes through the window.

"Sam you be good for your brothers and new friends got it?" Pastor Jim asked kneeling before the anxious 10 year old.
"Yes Pastor Jim." Sam answered and gave Jim a quick hug before stepping back and waiting for the other good byes.
"Dean," Jim asked walking over to where the teen was practically asleep leaning between McGee and Gibbs (apparently all the medicines were making him more zombie like then any of them had predicted and left him sleeping like all the time), "I want you to let me know if there is anything that I can do for you ok? I'm only a phone call away and you have all these new people to talk to ok?" Dean nodded sleepily and Pastor Jim could only smile sadly and ruffle his hair gently.
"We really need to get going Jim or we are going to miss our flight." Caleb interrupted from his spot next to Kate.
"Tony call me if you need anything and it was nice to meet the rest of you. Feel free to visit anytime my doors are always open." Jim finished and left quickly with a wave over his shoulder and soon the team was left to make their way through security and back home.

Slamming the annoying beep of the alarm clock Tony rolled over in bed and threw the comforter off.
It was Thursday morning and Sam's first day of fourth grade. The last three days had passed in a blur of airports, unpacking and final preparations for the boy's return to school. Pushing himself from his warm bed Tony made his way down the hallway and into Sam's bedroom.
"Come kiddo time to wake up. You need to get ready for school today. We leave in a forty five minutes." Tony said yanking the quilt off the boy and left the room to start breakfast.
Pulling out the ingredients for cereal and setting them on the island he turned around and started a pot of much needed coffee. When he closed the cupboard a little too loudly he woke up Caleb who was sleeping on the couch.
"Could you be any louder Winchester?" Caleb grumped as he went to see how the coffee was coming along seeing as he was up anyway.
"Maybe you shouldn't be sleeping on my couch." Tony answered snarkily fully aware that as of right now they were technically renting the apartment together.
"Unless you want to share a bed I don't really have anywhere else to sleep."
"You could always bunk with Kate. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Tony teased as he poured a fresh cup of coffee for himself and Caleb.
"Shut up." Caleb said blushing and grabbed his cup and helped himself to a bowl of cereal.
Just as Tony was about to make a remark of his own Sam came into the kitchen dressed in one of his new pair of jeans, plaid button down and a pair of black Converse. Trailing closely behind him was Dean still looking half of asleep.
"Looking good Sam"
"Thanks Tony. Do think my teacher will like me? What about my class?" Sam asked worriedly as he poured himself a bowl of fruity pebbles and a glass of orange juice. Half way through his breakfast he suddenly stopped and with a look of horror asked, "Do you think they have math club?"
Caleb and Tony burst out laughing and shook their head, "I think you'll be fine Sam."
Seeing the time Tony realized he needed to get ready because he and Sam would be leaving in a couple of minutes. It would his first day back to work and to say he was nervous was slight understatement.
"Make sure you brush your teeth Sam. We leave in 10 minutes." Tony said and turned to get dressed for work.

"We'll be fine Tony." Caleb asked standing at the door trying to get Tony to leave.
"Are you sure? I'm sure I could talk Gibbs into letting me stay home another day." Tony quickly answered never realizing how hard it would be to leave Dean home even though it had been decided that until Dean started back with school Caleb would be taking care of him during the day.
"Come on Tony! I'm going to be late." Sam said pulling his brother away from the apartment and towards the elevator.
"We're fine. Just go have fun doing whatever it is you do. You can call us on your lunch break, mother hen." Caleb said waving off the two other Winchesters and then not so subtly slammed the door shut in Tony's face.
"God I thought he would never leave." Caleb said flicking the TV on and flipped to HBO plopping down next to Dean who was starting wake up on the couch.
