November 2020 (Castiel is 31, Dean is 32, Eden is 7, Adrian is 4).
Two days later they finally brought the twins home. Castiel's closest colleagues had come to visit him at the hospital before he went home. He was surprised and excited to hear that Samandriel was finally expecting his first baby with his mate. The younger angel was quite nervous about it, but Castiel assured him he didn't need to worry too much.
The twins would sleep in Castiel's workroom (now a nursery) so that Adrian and Eden would have their rooms to themselves. The angel didn't need his workroom while he was on maternity leave, although he did like to use it for drawing and painting every now and then in his free time. But with the twins sleeping in there, he couldn't use it.
The first two weeks proved to be a big challenge.
They had had it easy with Eden and Adrian who could both sleep for around six hours in a row just after their birth, but the twins would wake up every three to five hours and start crying simultaneously. If one woke up, so would the other. Because Dean and Castiel took turns to take care of the babies, it meant that the one taking care of them had two babies to feed and try to put to sleep. The two parents were already beginning to feel the lack of sleep getting to them.
One morning they were both woken up by the twins crying – both on the baby monitor and they could hear it faintly from behind the door as well.
Dean groaned and turned over on his side to spoon up behind Cas, who also groaned when his sleep was disturbed.
Dean wrapped his arms around the angel. "Fuck, those twins are killing me…" he murmured, and nuzzled the angel's soft feathers sleepily. The feeling of the downy-soft feathers against his cheek almost made him fall asleep again.
"I know…" Castiel murmured, sleepily. It was his turn to take care of the twins but his body almost refused to move.
The twins' cries continued, and Castiel's instincts to get up and take care of his offspring finally took over. He untangled himself from Dean's embrace, who whined in protest, and sat up on the edge of the bed. He looked at the clock on the nightstand and saw that the time was only 4:52am. He groaned and yawned before finally getting up and walked into the nursery where the twins were crying in their cribs.
Dean watched him go and slumped back against the bed, sighing. His eyes almost refused to open and his body felt exhausted from the lack of proper sleep. He listened to his mate shushing the twins gently and trying to calm them down. It was always a challenge to be able to go to the kitchen and warm milk for the twins without having to bring them with. If the twins were in the kitchen, Eden and Adrian would wake up from their cries. So, Dean had thought of the genius idea to buy a baby bottle warmer and put it in the nursery, so they wouldn't have to leave the room with the twins and wake up the other children. Of course they could work as a team and have one taking care of the twins while the other cooked the milk, but they were both so tired that they needed to take shifts so that at least one of them could catch some sleep.
Eden and Adrian were mostly not woken up by their new siblings. They slept through the entire night and were awake and active in the morning. It was Dean's role to drive them to daycare and school because Cas still hadn't learned how to drive, and taking the bus took longer. Dean made a promise to himself that he would soon teach his mate how to drive a car.
Dean had fallen asleep again after Cas went to take care of the twins. He slept like a rock and barely woke up when the angel started shaking him a few hours later.
"Dean! Wake up; you have to drive Eden and Adrian to school and daycare soon. They're both up and getting ready to leave," Castiel said and tried to make the demon wake up. Dean merely groaned and turned around on his side to keep sleeping, which made the angel's wings twitch in annoyance. He growled and pulled Dean's tail.
Dean woke up with a pained yelp and jumped. "What the fuck was that for?!" he snarled and growled up at Cas. His feathers sharpened unconsciously. If there was one thing demons didn't like, it was to be pulled by their tails.
"Stop sleeping, Dean, and get up already! I've been awake for hours making breakfast and helping the children prepare for the day, and you have to drive them!" Castiel snapped back.
"Fine! No need to pull my damned tail, Cas, it freaking hurts," Dean grumbled.
"You wouldn't wake up otherwise," the angel simply said, and turned around to leave. He stopped in the doorway and glanced back at Dean, meeting his eyes. "I'm sorry for hurting you," he said, sincerely, and left the room.
Dean softened up and sat up in the bed, sighing. They had started getting more snappy with each other lately and Dean hated it. After rubbing his eyes and waking up a little, he finally got up from the bed.
Eden and Adrian were slightly worried about them because they could sense that their parents weren't being their usual selves these days. They had explained to them that the twins kept them awake a lot and that the lack of sleep made them tired and grumpy, and that the children didn't need to worry.
When Dean entered the living room, Eden and Adrian were crawling around on the couch and playing with each other. The demon smiled at them and buttoned up his shirt.
"Good morning, daddy. You look sleepy," Adrian commented and stared up at him.
"Oh, believe me – I'm very sleepy," Dean replied and chuckled a little.
"Is it the twins keeping you awake?" Eden asked, and seemed a little worried.
"Yeah, they're two noisy little downy-feather balls," Dean grinned, and moved over to the kitchen to pour up some coffee which Cas had prepared earlier. Castiel stood next to the fridge, and Dean glanced briefly at the angel who was still dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants and was putting Eden's lunchbox into her school bag.
Eden and Adrian grinned and followed Dean to the kitchen.
"Do you know yet when we're gonna move?" Eden asked.
"Well, as soon as the bank was approved the loan and we buy the house, we'll start packing. So we'll probably be moving in January or something," Dean explained. He drank his coffee which was black – he needed it to wake him up. At least it was still warm.
"Do I still get to stay in the same school and gymnastics studio?" Eden asked. She glanced up at her father in worry.
Dean couldn't help but smile at the adorable eyes she sent him. "Of course you do, honey. Your papa and I won't make you transfer. We've told you this already."
Eden's face lit up. "I know, but I keep worrying you'll change your minds."
"Stop being whiny," Adrian murmured behind her.
Eden snapped her head around to glare at her brother. "I was not whining!"
"Was so."
"Not!"
"So."
Eden growled in annoyance and moved forward to shove Adrian, but the boy stepped back, grinning, and they ended up chasing each other around the living room, shrieking and laughing.
Dean chuckled at the children and turned to look at Castiel, who was also chuckling. They shared a quick kiss before Dean helped the kids get dressed and drove them to daycare and school. Castiel went back to bed and hoped to get some sleep before the twins woke up again.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A week later they finally got their loan approved by the bank. The real estate agent had informed them that house's final price was 458,000 dollars, which was a very good price considering its excellent condition and neighborhood. They hadn't begun packing because they had agreed to wait until after Christmas before moving.
Dean had gone back to work. He had only had a little over two weeks off to bond with the new babies and help Cas take care of them. It actually put some relief on his and Cas' relationship that he was back at work because the two had gotten grumpy and annoyed with being together all day and being woken up all the time. Now, Dean got to sleep through most of the night because Cas took care of the babies to let him sleep, though it was his turn to take care of them in the most of the weekends and after he came home from work.
Rufus' garage had been pretty small when Dean first started working for him, but over the years the business had started flourishing and it was now bigger with more employees and more customers. Most employees were demons because angels and demons didn't get along well at the same workplace, unless they worked in different departments. They only had one angel colleague, and the guy got along well with the demons – he had the same humor as them and didn't mind jokes about angels too much, unless they were extremely offensive. None of the demons had a problem with him, they thought he was cool.
"So, Winchester," said Dean's colleague, Martin, and rested his hand on Dean's shoulder. "I heard you and your angel mate had twins? Congratulations on that! That makes what? Four kids? Damn, you're a fucking stallion, dude," the guy laughed and clapped Dean's shoulder. He was an alpha like the rest of them were, except for one beta demon.
Dean huffed out a laugh. "Yeah, four kids and in desperate need of a new house." He threw away his dirty rag and prepared to give the car he was working on a clean-up before it was ready to be handed back to the customer. His work clothes were dirty with car oil and grease, as were his skin, wings, and tail.
Martin laughed and let go of Dean's shoulder. "Perhaps you should learn to keep it in your pants, then," he joked.
"Hey, that's Winchester you're talking about! He doesn't even know what the phrase means!" said Aaron, who had been listening.
"Hey! I'm standing right here, dude!" Dean groaned and looked over at Aaron, accusingly. The others laughed.
"Well, I bet Winchester here hasn't gotten laid in a while. After my mate had a child she wouldn't lie with me for over an entire month," Martin spoke. He looked at Dean. "I bet it's the same with your mate, especially since you have twins now. Damn, that kills the mood, doesn't it?"
"Shut up already, Martin," Dean scowled and rolled his eyes.
"Aha! I was right, then! You're not getting any." He grinned teasingly, which made Dean turn around and glare at him. Martin just laughed and slung an arm around Dean's shoulder. "You know, you still haven't introduced us to your mate."
"Yeah, we wanna see that hot piece of angel ass!" one of the others cheered and grinned at Dean. The other colleagues laughed and nodded in agreement.
"No one gets to see his ass except for me! And stop being so damn vulgar, guys." Dean growled slightly and glared at all of them. Most of his colleagues were always telling lewd jokes during the day and being very macho and crude. Dean didn't mind it since it was mostly quite entertaining and it was a guy thing, but he didn't like when they spoke of Cas like that, even if it was just for jokes. It made his protective instincts towards his mate swell up.
The beta demon walked by and looked at Dean. "Just ignore those fuck-heads – they've said things like that about my mate, too. I think they're just fooling around and being immature 'cause they haven't got enough to do."
"Yeah, I noticed that," Dean replied, and shook off Martin's arm from his shoulders.
"Yeah, just ignore us, you know how we are. We don't hit on each other's mates – unless it's Aaron's mate who's got such big tits that even the cows chase her." Martin burst out laughing and Aaron protested heavily. He kept laughing until Aaron threw a dirty rag in his face to shut him up.
The immature behavior was stopped when Rufus appeared. "Cut it out! You're behaving like a bunch of high school girls in the locker room! Take off your skirts and get back to work," he growled and stared them down. He didn't usually mind them fooling around, but sometimes things got out of hand and they ended up not doing their jobs.
Dean smirked a little when everyone ran back and forth in a panic to continue their work. He shook his head at them, amused, and continued with his work, too. He wasn't entirely sure if he ever dared introduce Cas to his colleagues.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When Dean returned home in the evening with the kids, Castiel was shocked to see him covered in oil and grease.
"Dean, why are you coming home dirty?" Castiel asked, and stared at the demon in confusion. He was holding Lily in his arms and was feeding her a bottle of milk while he looked his mate up and down and took in his dirty appearance. He blushed slightly. It had been a long time since he last saw his mate covered in dirt, and he had always kind of liked the sight.
"There's a problem with the pipes in the work shower. We can't use them until they're fixed, so I have to shower at home," Dean explained while taking off his shoes. He had changed into cleaner clothes and shoes before driving home, so it was only his body that was dirty. He always left his dirty clothes and shoes at work so he wouldn't make a mess of the apartment – Cas would kill him if he did.
"Oh," Castiel said, and observed Dean helping Adrian out of his shoe, which seemed almost stuck on his foot. Lily squirmed and cried a bit in his arms when she had finished the bottle, and he rocked and comforted her.
Dean smiled at the scene and walked over to his mate and stared down at their new little girl. "Hey, sweetie," he cooed and stroked her head fondly. Castiel smiled and watched as Lily stared up at Dean with her wide blue/green eyes. "Where is your twin brother, huh?"
"He's currently in the carriage on the couch. I just fed him a few minutes ago," Castiel smiled, and glanced over at the portable carriage which was placed on the couch. Isaac was inside, cooing and playing with a toy to entertain himself. He was still very little and could barely move, but Castiel felt safer knowing he couldn't get hurt while inside the carriage. He greeted Eden and Adrian when they walked by him and into the living room, and Eden went over to check on Isaac.
Dean followed his gaze over to the carriage. "Ah, so both screaming machines are awake then," he chuckled.
"Dean," Castiel warned and scowled at him. He didn't like it when Dean referred to the children with such words.
The demon laughed. "Oh c'mon, you can't say they aren't screaming machines."
"No, I can't, but it's natural for babies to cry a lot, so don't make it an insult," Castiel murmured and walked over to the couch to sit down beside Eden, who had sat down to entertain Isaac a bit.
"I'm not…"
"Daddy, you look funny when you're full of dirt," Adrian remarked. He stood next to him and giggled a little at the smudge on Dean's cheek.
"Yeah, I know. I'll head to the shower now and get cleaned up so I won't make the couch dirty as well – your papa will kill me if that happens," Dean grinned and looked at Cas, whose lips curled into a small smirk.
"Alright, don't take too long, dinner is ready in about an hour," Castiel told him.
"No worries, I'll be done by then," Dean smiled. He ruffled Adrian's hair a bit before walking towards the bathroom.
Once he was inside he locked the door and began stripping out his clothes. He turned on the hot water and stepped under the stream, closing his eyes as he felt the water run down his body and rinse off the dirt. He sighed and spread his softened wings which had oil stuck in the feathers. He grasped some soap and began cleaning his body and wings the best he could. The wing brush helped to get of most of the dirt out and make his feathers look nicer, but he knew he'd soon need Cas to groom them again.
The water running over his body felt nice after a long, sweaty day at work, and he could stand under the stream for hours just enjoying it. Dean turned around and let the stream hit his wings from the opposite side, and slowly began feeling his body getting aroused by the warm water touching his wings. He and Castiel hadn't had sex since the twin's birth over three weeks ago. They had both been tired and stressed, and the angel hadn't been in the mood for any sexual activities. It frustrated Dean that although they loved the twins deeply, they still made him and Cas argue and not have sex. He missed his angel mate's body and comforting warmth more than anything.
Dean let his body react to the water and to his long suppressed needs. He grabbed his half-hard cock and began stroking it to full hardness. He moaned but tried to keep his noises down so the kids and Cas wouldn't hear it. He teased his thumb over the cockhead and the slit, and spread his wings further so he could better feel the water running through his feathers and over his back. His hips bucked forward unconsciously as he increased the strokes, and he moved his tail up to touch his balls and stimulate himself further. He struggled to keep his noises down which he couldn't help making seeing as he desperately needed and craved release.
He thought of Cas while he touched himself. He thought of his mate's soft comforting feathers, of his lips stretching around Dean's cock as he tried to fit him into his mouth, of the beautiful noises he always makes when Dean fucks him, and he thought of marking the angel with his come over his ass, back, and wings and letting everyone know that this angel belonged to him and no one else.
Just as Dean was getting agonizingly close to his climax, he felt Cas tug at his mind through their bond. The demon knew his mate was signaling him to hurry up a little before dinner was ready. Dean tugged back through the bond, letting the angel know he 'heard' him, before going back to stroking himself.
Dean threw his head back and growled as his orgasm finally hit. He bit his lip to keep his noises down as he came in copious amounts over his own hand; his hips bucking with every stream of come that escaped him. He groaned in pleasure and relief, and panted heavily once it was over. The water washed away his semen into the drain and erased all traces of his pleasure.
Dean froze when he was suddenly aware that he was still projecting small streams of his emotions to Cas through the bond – which meant that Castiel had most likely been able to sense his actions just now. Mates could sense each other's emotions if they were physically close, if not they had to open the connection more which Dean had just done – he just forgotten to shut it off again. He quickly shut off his mind from Cas' and turned off the water.
"Shit," Dean grumbled and stepped out of the shower.
Castiel wasn't supposed to sense what he was doing – the angel had let him know that sex wasn't something he was very interested in at the moment and that it would have to wait a bit. He hoped that the angel wouldn't think that he had done that on purpose to mock him or anything like that.
After Dean finished drying himself and put on some fresh clothes he exited the bathroom and joined his family in the other room. The twins were in their cribs now, sleeping.
Castiel glanced at him with furrowed brows when Dean walked by the kitchen. The demon tried to avert his eyes and cleared his throat.
"So, uh, what's cooking?" Dean asked, trying to talk about something else. He could still feel the angel staring at him.
"Lasagna!" Eden exclaimed.
"Your favorite, right?" Dean chuckled and ruffled her hair fondly. Eden shrieked and stepped away from his hand because she hated when he messed up her hair.
"Yep, especially when papa makes it," Eden said and smiled up Castiel who returned the smile. She ran a hand through her hair to put it back in place, and glared briefly up at Dean who smirked.
"Cheeseburgers are better," Adrian spoke.
"No, they're not! Lasagna is best," Eden retorted.
"Well, I'll have to agree with Adrian there…" Dean said. He grinned when Eden glared up at him and tried to hit him, playfully, but he blocked her blow and smiled at her in apology.
"I prefer lasagna also, so we're all even now," Castiel intervened and rolled his eyes fondly at them. Eden cheered happily.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After dinner, they took care of the twins who had woken up again. Adrian crawled around on the couch and watched TV while Castiel fed Isaac, and Dean walked around with Lily in his arms while he fed her. When Lily was done eating, Dean helped Eden with some of her homework while Lily lay on the floor and played with one of Eden's old toys.
The family went to bed early that night. Dean brushed his teeth before entering the master bedroom to lie down to sleep together with Cas.
The angel was already in bed, lying on his back.
Dean quietly took off his clothes except his underwear and slipped under the covers. He had just gotten comfortable on the bed and closed his eyes when Castiel suddenly rolled over on his side and spoke.
"I felt what you were doing earlier, Dean. In the shower…"
Dean opened his eyes and stared up at the ceiling.
"So? It was an accident, you weren't supposed to feel that," Dean replied. He turned his head to look at the angel. "Why? You got a problem with it?" The tone came out a bit harsher than he intended and he cringed a little.
Castiel didn't flinch, however, and kept staring into Dean's eyes. "No. It's just… I miss you, Dean. I miss being intimate with you, and I hate arguing with you all the time lately…"
Dean smiled and softened at his words. "I miss you too, Cas."
The angel returned the smile and leaned in to kiss him. The demon kissed him back and closed his eyes as he savored the feeling of Cas' lips against his own. He was surprised when Castiel suddenly rolled on top of him, straddling him, while continuing to kiss him. Dean moaned in approval and grabbed his mate's hips possessively.
Eventually, Castiel pulled back from the kiss and panted while he looked into Dean's eyes. He glanced at the demon's wings and ran a hand through the feathers, gently. "They need grooming soon…"
Dean huffed. "So do yours."
Castiel chuckled softly. He could feel the demon beginning to grow hard against his ass which rested over Dean's crotch. The angel sat down and rubbed his ass against his mate's erection, making Dean moan in appreciation.
"Fuck, Cas, don't get me worked up if you're not gonna finish it," Dean growled.
Castiel smirked a bit and could feel that Dean was fully hard beneath his boxers now. "In that case, I better finish it." He rolled off of Dean and went to lock the doors, before crawling into bed again. He placed himself between Dean's legs and pulled off his underwear. He groaned in approval when he was met by the demon's erect cock, which already had precome pearling at the top. He ran his hands up and down Dean's hips and stomach before licking at the head and finally taking the cock into his mouth.
"Fuck," Dean cursed and grasped Castiel's hair when he took him as far in as he could.
Castiel winced a bit when his mate's member triggered his gag reflex and filled his mouth completely. He pulled off with a pop before licking at the underside of the cock and sucking on the balls, while listening to Dean grasp the sheets tightly and moan. He took him into his mouth again and began sucking. More precome oozed out as Castiel's tongued swirled over the head and hummed around it. He moaned slightly in surprise when Dean's tail moved over his feathers, and he shivered at the goose bumps it gave him.
"Fuck yeah, just like that, angel," Dean grunted and tightened his hand in the angel's hair.
Castiel sent him a small glare for grasping his hair that hard, before going back to work and began fondling Dean's balls while blowing him. When he felt the demon get close to his climax, Castiel shucked harder and purred; sending stimulating vibrations over Dean's cock.
"Shit," Dean gasped, and finally came. He held back his pleasured cry as he shot his come into the angel's mouth. Castiel pulled back, swallowing, and stroked him through the rest until Dean slumped back into the bed with a satisfied sigh.
The angel sat up, wiping his chin with the back of his hand, and was unaware of the messy hair Dean's hand had created on him. He stared into Dean's eyes when the demon looked up at him, and yelped in surprise when Dean suddenly manhandled him onto his stomach and began touching his wings and kissing his shoulder and neck.
"Dean, ah!" Castiel gasped and bucked into the mattress.
The demon growled against his neck and touched his wings possessively. Castiel cried out a little when the demon's thumb rubbed over his oil glands which were already leaking. The angel trembled, and Dean moved further down his back and licked his tongue over the wet glands. Castiel gave a surprised yip and grasped the sheets.
Dean continued touching and licking the oil glands. He loved how the angel's wings twitched and trembled in response to the oil gland stimulation, and he grasped some of the feathers and stroked them.
Castiel gasped at the overwhelming stimulation of his wings and oil glands. He could feel the oil escape from the glands and Dean's tongue teasing over the place and he moaned shamelessly at the feeling.
"Dean…"
Dean could tell that Cas was all warmed up now and was getting close, so he pulled away and gestured for the angel to turn over on his back. The angel's brows furrowed in disappointment but he complied. Dean stared at the bulge in Cas' underwear before sliding the clothing off of him. Then he leaned down and kissed and licked the angel's navel, until he finally moved further south and took his mate's dick into his mouth.
Castiel cried out a little and trembled with need while Dean licked and sucked him. The demon wanted to play with his hole as well, but he knew the place was still sore and he didn't want to hurt his mate. So he concentrated on the angel's dick, wings, and the sensitive skin on his stomach. The angel was already all worked up from the stimulations earlier, so it didn't take long for him to come.
"Dean, I'm gonna—"
Dean moaned around Cas' smaller member, urging him to come. When the angel finally came, his body tensed up and his hips made small, unconscious movements as he emptied himself into the demon's mouth.
Dean swallowed it all and pulled off. He savored the taste of his mate and smirked when he saw Cas lying boneless on the bed, panting. Dean got up to unlock the doors, grabbed a towel to clean them up with, and then crawled into bed again.
They settled themselves on their sides, facing each other, and enjoyed the afterglow in their bodies.
"What made you change your mind about sex all of sudden?" Dean suddenly asked and smirked a little.
Castiel suppressed a blush and averted his eyes. "Mostly when you came home, looking dirty. And then when I sensed your release in the shower. It kind of affected me… But don't expect me to be up for it every week just yet; I'm too tired for that."
Dean laughed softly. "Oh, me looking dirty turns you on, huh."
"Yes, it kind of does. And shut up, Dean," the angel muttered when he could tell the demon was about to drop off another smug comment.
Dean chuckled and kissed him softly. "Let's see how much sleep we get before the twins wake up. God, I can't wait until they're in separate rooms – it's ridiculous how they both wake up at the same time. And every time one of them is almost asleep, the other one starts crying and then they're both awake again," he groaned.
"Yes, I know…" The angel snuggled closer to Dean and rested his head against the demon's muscled chest. "I hope they won't drive us more mad than we already are."
"I totally agree."
They smiled and finally closed their eyes to sleep.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Author's notes: There will be some sexual frustration, especially on Dean's part, while the twins are still small. And they'll be moving soon and get new neighbors, but you'll have to wait and see who it is :) I'm glad you guys like the twins' names :) My beta was the one who suggested 'Isaac' to me – I just couldn't find a proper name so she gave me a few suggestions for a name. And Isaac it was XD
Thanks for reading, please review :)
