May 2024 (Castiel is 34, Dean is 36, Eden is 10, Adrian is 7, the twins are 3 years old, Gabriel is 39, Lokiana is 2 (almost 3), Jo is 34, Tom is 36, Jason is 11, Emma is 6 (almost 7), Sam and Jess are 29, Jesse is 5).
Dean and Castiel lay in their bed Sunday morning when Gabriel suddenly burst into their bedroom.
"Good morning, you two sleepy-heads! It's 9:10 already! Are you gonna sleep all damned day or what?" Gabriel cheered, and moved over to pull the blankets off of them. He had arrived yesterday to spend the weekend with them, and he obviously didn't have a problem barging into their bedroom without knocking first.
Castiel stared up at his brother in shock and yelped when the blanket was torn off him. He covered himself with his wings and moved up behind Dean, who was lying with his back to him. The demon groaned in annoyance at Gabriel's presence but barely moved.
"Oh my fucking god!" Gabriel exclaimed when he saw that Dean was naked. At least Cas was wearing his underwear. Gabriel covered his eyes in disgust and looked away fast. "God damnit, Dean! Wear some clothes, will you! My poor eyes! God!"
Dean chuckled smugly and didn't make any attempts to cover himself up. He stroked Castiel's leg with his tail when he felt his mate clinging to him from behind while glaring up at his brother.
"I didn't ask you to yank the covers off us, did I? Your own fault, dude."
"Who the fuck sleeps naked with four kids in the house?!" Gabriel exclaimed. "And my daughter is here too, remember? Jesus."
Dean just laughed, amused, and Castiel scowled up at his brother.
"Gabriel, you have no business being in our bedroom. What are you doing here?" Castiel asked, and pulled the blanket over himself and Dean again.
Gabriel finally turned around to look at them once the demon's body was covered up again. He had a disgusted and displeased grimace on his face. "Well, as I said; it's ten past nine already, and the kids have been up for hours. Well, Eden just got up about half an hour ago, but I've been taking care of the rest of them since 7am. You can't just sleep the whole day off with guests in your house! Dean's part of the family is gonna be here in a few hours, and Jo and Tom too!"
They had invited their family and friends over to spend a nice day together. It had been ages since they had all been gathered, and the warm weather this week was perfect to invite them over in.
Castiel's face paled. "It's past nine?" he gasped in disbelief. He and Dean hadn't slept that long in years.
"Yeah!"
Castiel looked a little panicked and moved over to the edge of the bed. He stayed under the blanket and reached his hand down to the floor to pick up the clothes he had thrown there last night.
"Jeez, don't you guys ever sleep with your clothes on?" Gabriel grimaced.
"We always do, actually, but last night was the first time in years I forgot to put mine back on. It was too hot in here, anyway," Dean replied. The past week had been unbelievably hot, and their ceiling fan in the bedroom was broken, so Dean hadn't been very encouraged to put his clothes back on after he and Cas had sex last night. He sat up and yawned, and smirked when Gabriel looked away on reflex even though his manhood was still covered by the blanket.
"I thought I told you not to do any kinds of tangos with my brother while I'm in the house," Gabriel groaned.
"What you can't see or hear won't hurt you," Dean grinned.
"No, but the knowledge of it can!"
Castiel had pulled on his t-shirt and covered himself with his wings while he stood up to pull on some pants. He blushed furiously at their conversation. "Gabriel, can you please go check on the children while we get dressed?"
"Sure, I don't wanna have to buy new eyes once Dean moves up from the bed, anyway," Gabriel grumbled and moved towards the door. "I'm never gonna come in here again!" he said before leaving.
"We didn't ask you to," Dean shouted back at him and laughed.
Castiel kept blushing while he pulled on his clothes, and Dean got up to get dressed. He watched as the demon stretched his naked body and spread out his large, dark wings. Dean groaned in satisfaction when his bones cracked, before moving over to the wardrobe to get some new underwear.
"Damn, I don't think I've slept that long for years," Dean spoke and pulled on his underwear. He fumbled to get his tail through the hole. "The twins didn't even wake us up once."
Lily and Isaac were better at sleeping longer now. They could sleep eight to eleven hours in a row without a problem, but they would be up pretty early in the morning. The ceiling fans in their rooms made sure that they were cooled off during the night and wouldn't wake up due to the heat.
Their sex life had also improved again now that the twins were sleeping longer and were less demanding. They had sex at least once a week and felt less stressed as well, which gave them more time to be around each other without being grumpy.
"I know, I enjoyed the sleep, too, but we have to get up now. We did sleep a bit too long," Castiel said.
"You can never sleep too long when you have two noisy twins, Cas," Dean smirked, and pulled on his shirt.
Castiel smiled. "That is true."
Dean came over and pulled him into a kiss, and the angel wrapped his arms around his neck. They pulled apart when they heard the twins screaming around downstairs, and finally got ready to go down and have some breakfast with the others.
Lily and Isaac tackled Dean as soon as he stepped into the living room. The demon made a surprise 'uff' sound when the kids bumped right into him, playfully. He grinned at them and threatened to tickle them, which caused them to shriek and run away, laughing.
Gabriel was on the couch playing some game with Adrian and Eden, while Lokiana crawled around next to him and watched them with interest. Loki had brown hair, hazel eyes. Her wings were still light grey with brown feathers here and there, and they were a bit bigger now.
"Oh, you're awake now!" Eden grinned. She jumped up from the couch and followed Castiel over to the kitchen. "Gabriel gave us a few snacks because we were hungry, but I really do prefer proper breakfast."
Castiel frowned down at her. "What did he give you?" His voice was skeptic, and he glanced briefly in the direction of his brother who was talking to Adrian on the couch.
"Popcorn," Eden chuckled.
The angel's eyes widened as he stared at her in disbelief. His expression turned into one of annoyance, and he opened the bread box to get the bread and pulled some cereal down from the upper cabinet. "How come that doesn't surprise me," he mumbled. Eden laughed in agreement and helped him set the table.
Dean had overheard their conversation and turned to glare at Gabriel. "You gave the children popcorn?! How about giving them cereal instead?" he growled.
"Hey! They all voted for popcorn!" Gabriel defended himself. "Well, except for Eden."
Dean groaned. "Doesn't matter what they vote for, you're the adult here and you supposed to give them proper breakfast. Where the hell did you get popcorn from anyway?"
"I always travel with provisions," Gabriel smirked. "And popcorn is a good breakfast! Isn't that right, kids?" He grinned over at the twins who were gathered around Dean.
"Yeees! Popcorn 's good!" Isaac grinned.
Dean rolled his eyes and pulled Lily up on his arm when she begged him to.
"We didn't eat that much, dad, uncle Gabe had already eaten over half of it beforehand," Adrian told him, and glared at his uncle. Gabriel laughed and ruffled his nephew's hair, and Adrian squirmed away.
"Well, that is comforting," Dean muttered. He went over to help his mate and daughter set the table. Lily was put down on the ground again and stared at them while they moved back and forth to prepare breakfast. She sucked her thumb and curled her tail around her thigh. Her white wings reached her lower back, as did Isaac's, while Eden's reached to the top of her calves. When they were older the wings would reach their feet.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
At noon, Mary and John came over, and Jo and her family arrived soon afterwards. Sam and Jess would join them a bit later – they still lived in Stanford and had to drive longer before they were there.
Eden and Jason were happy to see each other again. They hadn't visited each other for nearly two months now. The adults had worried that the two friends would float apart when they grew older as many girls and boys did, but they were still close. Jason's sister, Emma, got along well with Adrian but they weren't as close friends as Eden and Jason were.
Jo grinned when she stepped into the house and greeted them. "Hey guys, how are things? Is that horrible neighbor of yours still pissing you off, Dean?"
Mary and John were with the kids in the living room, while Jo and Tom were still in the entrance hall and taking off their shoes. Jason and Emma had already run off to play with Eden and Adrian.
"If you mean Brad, then yes," Dean spoke and gritted his teeth a bit. "That bastard decided to put all his trash in front of our house instead of his own. And the police won't even do anything about it except give him a little talk, because the sidewalk is public property and it's not illegal to put it there when the garbage collector comes. But damn, he pisses me off with the signal he's giving me," he growled.
"That sounds quite annoying. What do you intend to do about it?" Tom asked, but didn't seem too surprised about their neighbor – he had heard many stories about Brad already.
"I'm still plotting something," Dean muttered and curled his lip into a mischievous smirk.
Jo laughed and gave Dean the thumbs up. She stepped closer to Castiel and studied him. "You know, I was half excepting Dean to have knocked you up again by now," she smirked.
Castiel's cheeks went bright red as he blushed and looked away. "It's… We are not really planning to have another." He shifted with embarrassment and Dean chuckled at him.
The demon wrapped his arm around Cas' waist and let their wings touch. "Yeah, I think we are busy enough as it is…"
"Really? I always pictured you with 5-7 kids," Jo said and blinked at them.
"Who knows, we can still change our minds," Dean spoke and squeezed Castiel's waist as he held him.
Castiel continued to squirm with embarrassment until they walked into the living room.
Mary and John came over to greet Jo and Tom as well, who had arrived a few minutes after they did. They all talked, and the children slowly began getting restless. They decided to go outside on the terrace and let the children play in the garden. The weather was nice and sunny, and they planned to do a barbecue later. All the children rushed outside right away, but Lokiana was taking a small nap upstairs.
Isaac went around and pulled at everyone's tails when they stood on the terrace. Not too hard, but enough for it to hurt a little and make the victim flinch. Gabriel had encouraged him to do so just to annoy everyone around him, and Mary yelped when he pulled her tail.
"Isaac! Why would you do such a thing to your grandmother, huh?" Mary scolded and scowled down at him. The boy merely grinned up at her, innocently.
It wasn't the first time that Gabriel had made the twins do something to annoy their parents or grandparents. He sometimes talked them into hiding their things, and the twins did it because they thought it was a fun game.
"I'm very glad I don't have a tail…" Jo muttered and chuckled. Tom nodded in agreement.
"Gabriel, stop making my children annoy our guests," Castiel scowled, and picked up Lily. She was a bit shy around so many people, so she sought some comfort in him.
"I agree. You're going to turn them into mini versions of yourself," Mary glared.
Gabriel laughed. "That's the point! We need more people like me," he grinned.
John rolled his eyes at the brown-winged angel.
"C'mon, Newton, can you tell me your favorite word?" Gabriel asked and looked over at Isaac.
"Dick!" the boy exclaimed, clearly unaware of the word's meaning.
Eden, Jason, and Adrian had just come back up to the terrace from the garden, and Eden gasped at her brother, horrified, when she heard what he said. "Isaac! Don't say such words!" she scolded. Jason chuckled behind her in amusement.
"I'm never leaving you alone with the twins ever again, Gabe," Dean growled and glared at him.
"What? He's gonna laugh about his first word someday," Gabriel spoke.
"And what about Lokiana? What kind of bad words did you teach her?" Mary asked and crossed her arms.
"The only 'bad' word I taught her is 'ugly', 'cause Kali's dog is ugly as hell."
Dean laughed and Castiel chuckled a bit as well, and carried Lily inside to change her diapers. Isaac had stopped pulling tails and let Mary pull him up into her lap when she sat down at the outside table. He wasn't shy around others at all, unlike his twin sister.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
An hour later, Sam and Jessica arrived with Jesse.
Dean was happy to see his little brother again. They rarely saw each other now that they both had a family of their own. He pulled his brother into a big hug and led him into the garden. Jessica was getting some stuff from the car and Dean told her to find them on the terrace when she was ready.
When Jessica finally came outside to the others together with Jesse, Dean and Castiel were surprised to see that she was pregnant.
"You're having a baby?" Dean asked in surprise, and stared at Jess' stomach.
"Yes, we're having a little girl in August," Jessica smiled and rubbed her pregnant bump. She was six months pregnant now.
"Congratulations, both of you," Castiel smiled.
"Thanks, Cas," Sam grinned and wrapped his arm around his mate's waist. He leaned in and placed a loving kiss on Jessica's cheek while Jesse grimaced and went over to play with the twins in the garden.
"Yeah, congratulations," Dean grinned. "I didn't expect that – you didn't even tell me on the phone, and we've talked like three times in the past four months!"
Sam grinned at him. "Sorry, Dean. Jessica wanted to surprise you."
"And you sure did," the older brother smirked.
Jo came over and put a hand on Jessica's stomach. The two women grinned and Jo wished her congratulations with the new baby.
"Oh my, John, we're gonna have too many grandchildren to look after…" Mary commented and looked up at John who was standing next to her. She brushed her wing against his and smiled.
"Well, at least our sons work the way they should," John said.
"Dad…" Sam whined, embarrassed. The others chuckled at him, and Dean didn't seem as embarrassed as his brother was.
Gabriel, who had been down into the garden to get Lokiana when she got too close to the swings, laughed when he approached them and heard what John said. Loki was on his arm, sucking her thumb, and glanced around at everyone curiously.
"Glad to see my bro isn't the only one getting knocked up all the time here," he said and grinned.
Jessica blushed a bit, as did Castiel. The angel glared at his older brother who never passed on an opportunity to embarrass him in front of others.
Sam grimaced a bit. "And you're as foul-mouthed as always, Gabe."
"Yep, that's me," Gabe grinned and rocked Loki when she whined a bit. She turned around and buried her face in his neck, shyly.
Jess smiled and walked over to them. "Aw, she's a cute one. Is she really yours?" she asked, teasingly.
Gabriel laughed. "Yeah, amazingly enough." He peered down at Lokiana, who was still being shy and hiding her face in his shirt. "Don't be so shy, Loki. You gotta be more like your daddy, and I ain't shy."
Castiel chuckled and watched his niece with a smile.
"Just let her, it will likely change with age," Mary smiled.
"I certainly hope so if she's gonna help me pull pranks on people," Gabriel muttered and peered down at the girl.
The others laughed and rolled their eyes before they all sat down by the table. Dean took out the parasol to protect them from the sharp spring sun, and Castiel, Jo, and Jess put sun screen on their children so they wouldn't get burned.
The twins and Loki were playing in the playhouse, while all the other children played soccer. Eventually Isaac joined them when the tea party in the playhouse got too boring for him. Adrian had to teach Isaac the rules, but the boy was too young to properly care so it created some annoyance in the other children. Dean had bought two goals to put in each end of the garden, so now the children had something to aim for.
Jason was surprised to see how well Eden could play soccer. She was just as good as him, if not better. Being a gymnast made her fast and agile, and she could easily get the ball away from Jason and Adrian. Emma was less used to playing so she had to listen to Eden's instructions, while Isaac struggled to keep up with the older children – he did more watching than playing, actually. Eden, Emma, and Isaac played on one team, while Jason and Adrian were on the opposite team.
The weather was warm so all the girls wore skirts to feel more cooled off, and the boys wore shorts.
Jason was so concentrated to get the next goal that he stumbled over Isaac who suddenly got in the way. He fell onto the grass with a loud 'uff' and groaned in pain.
Eden came over to him and stared down at him in worry. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm good," Jason told her and smiled a little. He was still on the ground, recovering. Eden stood right next to him and she turned away to scold Isaac; unaware that Jason got a brief glimpse of her panties when her tail (which was under the skirt) moved upwards in her annoyance and caused the skirt to be lifted. Jason blushed like mad before looking away quickly.
"Isaac, keep close to the goal and don't run in front of us!" Eden told her youngest brother.
"But I wanna play!" Isaac answered, stubbornly.
"You are playing," Eden sighed. She looked down at Jason again who was slowly getting up on his feet. "I'm sorry about that."
"Nothing happened, and I'm okay," Jason smiled, awkwardly, and wiped the dirt off his knees and arms.
Eden nodded, pleased, and they continued with the game.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They had lunch outside and had to get a few extra chairs and a small plastic table for some of the children. Gabriel and Castiel had baked pie, which Dean and Adrian were both extremely pleased over. Adrian had inherited his father's taste for pie, and he liked cars too. He had a whole collection of Mercedes car models in his room, which he had mostly gotten from John and Gabriel.
When they were done eating lunch, Gabriel went down into the garden to join the children with playing. The other adults decided to join too, and they taught the children how to play baseball. Eden, Jason, and Adrian had played it before in school, so they knew the rules already. Mary, Jessica and Jo watched them from the terrace stairs where they were sitting, and giggled and laughed every time one of the men almost got hit when they tried to teach the youngest children how to hit the ball. Loki was with them because she was too scared of the balls to play. Castiel went over to them as well because he didn't like the game much, but Gabriel had said he should stick close to them and help them teach the twins to play.
"Now, you throw the ball up and then you hit it hard with the bat," Gabriel instructed Isaac, and kneeled down behind him to guide his movements. Isaac tried, but he missed the ball and it fell to the ground instead. He stared down at it, annoyed, and Gabriel laughed at him. "It's called gravity, little Newton – you should know all about that."
Isaac stared up at him, confused, and Gabriel just laughed even more. The boy tried again and failed, and eventually Dean came over to them.
"I doubt it's my son who sucks at playing, I think he's just got a lousy teacher," Dean commented and smirked smugly at Gabriel.
"Well, go ahead and see if you can do a better job than me, Dean-o!" the angel challenged him. Dean snorted and took Gabriel's place behind Isaac, who was still missing the ball. Lily came over and wanted to watch, but Eden pulled her away so she wouldn't get hurt.
"This can't go well," Sam muttered, and watched his brother try to teach the boy how to swing the bat.
"We'll see," John said and watched the scene.
Isaac tried to hit the ball a few more times until it finally succeeded. Dean cheered and grinned proudly when the ball flew over to Adrian who was standing a bit away from them. Isaac laughed and seemed happy with his accomplishment, and Eden cheered for him.
Dean turned his head to look at Gabriel, who made a displeased face. "See? Just a lousy teacher," Dean grinned, mockingly.
"That was pure luck, dude," Gabriel answered, dryly, and crossed his arms. "Let's see if he can do it again." He walked over and told Isaac to try it one more time. Dean stood a bit behind them, and Gabriel lifted the ball for Isaac to hit.
Isaac missed the first hit. When they tried again, the boy accidentally lost his balance while swinging, causing him to turn his body more to the left and stumble backwards – making the baseball bat collide with Dean who was standing behind him. The bat hit the demon right in the crotch with a loud slam, and Dean cried out in pain before collapsing on the ground; holding his crotch tightly as he writhed and cried out in agony. Isaac couldn't swing the bat too hard because he was only three, but it had still hit him pretty good.
Everyone gasped in shock, and Eden put her hand up to her mouth as she stared at her father with wide, shocked eyes. Castiel immediately ran over to his mate.
"Sonovabitch!" Dean cried out, and groaned at the pain. His knees were drawn up to his chest and his wings and tail were thrashing as he groaned and writhed in agony.
Gabriel was laughing hysterically.
"Dean!" Castiel exclaimed and was by his side immediately. He kneeled down next to his mate who was still in a lot of pain.
Sam and John cringed and moved their hands down between their legs in sympathy, while Jason and Adrian cringed as well. The youngest girls were confused and somewhat frightened by Dean's sudden pained cry.
"Fuck!" Dean groaned and rolled around on the grass. His face was red and scrunched up in pain, and Isaac stared over at him in confusion.
"Damn! I think I heard the sound of nuts cracking… they're gonna be ripe for eating soon," Gabriel grinned and continued laughing like mad.
"Shut the fuck up, Gabriel!" Dean snarled and winced when his outburst caused him to ache even more. Gabriel laughed even more at that. Castiel was staring at his mate in worry and tried to comfort him.
Sam and John couldn't help but chuckle at that either, and neither could the women.
"Well, you should have kept a bit more distance," Mary told him after she came over to check on him. Jo laughed next to her, and Jessica stared in sympathy at her brother-in-law.
"Are you okay, daddy?" Eden asked, worried, and moved her hand away from her mouth.
Dean groaned. "Not so much, sweetheart…"
"I think Cas needs to massage and fondle your balls real good tonight, Dean, 'cause that's probably gonna hurt for a while," Gabriel chuckled. There was some sympathy in his voice, but mostly he sounded amused.
Castiel blushed furiously at his brother's words, and Dean only moaned in pain.
Jason, Eden, and Adrian were the only kids who understood what was meant by the word 'balls', and they blushed a bit and shifted awkwardly.
"Yeah, that might be needed," John muttered.
"John!" Mary exclaimed, outraged.
"Too much info for me," Jo laughed, and Tom agreed.
Isaac frowned up at Gabriel in confusion. "Da ball is okay," he said and held up the ball he had been trying to hit earlier. The adults laughed which only made the boy more confused.
"I don't think he meant those kinds of balls, though," Jo chuckled.
"Please don't say that word!" Dean growled and glared up at them. They laughed again, and Castiel gently helped his mate sit up. Dean made pained noises and kept his legs spread to ease the pain. It was subsiding but it still ached and burned.
"Might wanna put some ice on that, son," John told him, and Dean made a noise of agreement.
Castiel helped Dean get to his feet, and the demon was grateful for his help. He limped inside and Cas got him some ice to put into his pants and help the pain for a few minutes. The youngest children were still a bit confused, but Eden and Adrian were worried about their father. Luckily Dean was able to walk around without help after a little while, although he still walked with a bit of a pained limp. He was annoyed whenever Gabriel or Sam made a joke about his sore balls, but he knew he'd probably do the same if it happened to them, so he wasn't really angry over it.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They had barbecue in the evening, and Gabriel kept grinning whenever Dean sat down on a chair and winced. He had expressed his sympathies for him though.
Sam, Jess, and Jesse left after dinner to head back to Stanford. Sam was working as a lawyer now and was well respected and good at his job, while Jessica had found a good job as a nurse in a hospital. They made Dean and Castiel promise to visit them in Stanford soon. Mary and John headed home a bit later together with Jo and her family. Eden was sad to see Jason leave, and she had pulled him into a tight hug. Jason had accepted the hug but he had been blushing and tensing like mad. He had always had a little crush on Eden, and it was only growing stronger as he was slowly reaching puberty.
Gabriel left right after the others. He had to drive Loki back to Kali's house now that the weekend was soon over.
"Hope to see ya around soon, guys," Gabriel told them as he stood in the front door, ready to leave. His stuff was already in his car, and Loki stood next to him and held his hand while they said goodbye. "And good luck with growing those back, Dean," he added, and pointed towards Dean's crotch.
The demon cringed. "Yeah, thanks, Gabe."
Gabriel grinned at him before turning to look at Castiel. "Remember to rub them real good, Cassie, and if it doesn't help then drag him to the doctor to be sure the goods aren't damaged."
Castiel squirmed awkwardly and felt his cheeks burn. Dean groaned and rolled his eyes at Gabe.
"Goodbye, guys," Gabriel said, and waved goodbye at them as he walked away from the house. Loki waved at them too, and Castiel chuckled at that. Dean and Castiel waved back and told them goodbye, before closing the door.
The twins had just been put to bed, and Adrian and Eden were getting ready to go to sleep as well. It had been a fun day for everyone and they were starting to get sleepy now.
The demon sighed heavily and padded towards the living room. Castiel followed him.
"How are you doing, Dean?" the angel asked in worry.
"I've been better… at least Isaac didn't swing that bat too hard, but it still hurt like a fucking bitch," Dean grumbled and walked over to the kitchen to get something to drink.
"It could have been worse, yes, but we still have to be sure you won't need a doctor," Castiel told him.
"I ain't going to any doctor with my balls, Cas. I was hoping you would nurse them back to health for me," the demon said, and turned his head to grin at his mate.
The angel rolled his eyes. "Of course I will, but I might not be able to help."
"Hmm, you'll do well enough," Dean chuckled.
Castiel could hear Eden and Adrian brushing their teeth in the bathroom and fighting over something, and he walked over and opened the top cabinet in the kitchen to get his pills. Dean observed him as he got himself a glass of water and swallowed his heat suppressants. The demon walked over and wrapped his arms around Castiel from behind, and rested his chin on the angel's shoulder. His hands moved under the angel's shirt and roamed over the soft skin on his flat belly. Castiel purred and leaned into his touch.
Eden and Adrian exited the bathroom and came into the kitchen area to see their parents embracing.
"Eww," Adrian grimaced and walked away.
Dean chuckled against Castiel's neck and kissed him there.
Eden smiled at them. "I like it much better when you are like that instead of arguing."
They slowly pulled apart and stared down at her.
"We don't argue that much," Dean spoke.
"You did when the twins were small…"
"That's because they never let us sleep," Dean explained and went over to pat his daughter's head. "Now, it's bedtime for you two, and for your papa and me."
"Yeah, I'm getting sleepy," Eden admitted and yawned.
The family went upstairs to sleep, and Dean locked the doors downstairs and turned off the lights.
Once they were in their bedroom, Dean lay down on the bed and sighed in relief when the pain eased a bit. Castiel helped him pull off his jeans before undressing himself.
"I'm never trusting Isaac with a baseball bat ever again," Dean grumbled.
Castiel chuckled and took off his shirt. "I know. I don't, either." He pulled on another shirt that he used for sleeping in, and crawled into bed between Dean's legs. He pulled the demon's underwear off, carefully, and tossed them to the floor.
Dean was half-hard, but they both knew pretty well that sex wasn't too good when he was sore down there. Castiel gently touched Dean's testicles and massaged them a little, and Dean sighed. The angel lay down on his stomach between his mate's legs and worked to relieve some of his pain.
"I wouldn't mind this going a step further but I don't think I can do that tonight," Dean chuckled.
"It would be a bad idea, yes," the angel agreed, and smirked slightly.
Dean relaxed while the angel rubbed and massaged him, and tried to make him feel better. He liked when Cas paid attention to his balls, although tonight it was for a different purpose. He sighed when the angel's touches eased some of the ache.
After a while, Castiel got up and decided it was good for today. Dean smiled and told him thank you, before the angel crawled over to his side of the bed and lay down next to Dean. They cuddled against each other and were careful that Dean wouldn't get hurt.
Dean stroked his hand through Cas' wing and watched the feathers move elegantly. "You have really gorgeous wings, Cas… So unlike mine," he murmured, and watched them in awe.
Castiel smiled and snuggled into Dean's chest. "Yes, they are quite different from each other, but I don't mind."
"Me neither," Dean grinned. "Your wings are the most gorgeous things in the world… Beside our children," he added and chuckled.
"Yes, beside them," the angel agreed, and smiled in amusement.
"You're really awesome for giving me such wonderful kids, Cas. Thank you," Dean grinned.
Castiel pulled away to look up at him. His lips curled into a smile. "You're welcome, Dean. But you did help… a little."
Dean laughed and pulled him closer again. "Yep, a little," he agreed. He heard Cas chuckle and snuggle into him. "Say, have you ever thought of having more kids?"
The angel tensed a bit and hesitated with this answer. "I don't know," he replied, honestly. "I don't think we can handle another at the moment…" He pulled away to look up at Dean. "Why? Do you?"
"I don't know, either. But the way you looked at Jess' stomach today made me wonder if you wanted it."
"Oh," Castiel said, and lay down again. He rested his head on Dean's chest and rubbed circles into his mate's skin. "I wouldn't mind having another, but I think it's best not to."
"Yeah, no more kids for us," Dean agreed and chuckled. He stroked the angel's wing and they settled down to sleep.
Castiel closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his lips. Dean did the same.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Author's notes: Fate is probably going to have a little surprise in mind for them, though ;) And I wanted to pair Gabriel up with someone but I couldn't find a suitable character for him. In the story, he and Kali probably had too many break-ups for it work properly between them (unless they have a sex only relationship, but I wanted him to have more), but I don't know if pairing Gabriel with an OC would be good. So now I'm not entirely sure what to do with him. Just so you know that it wasn't my intention for him not to have a mate.
This chapter turned out kinda long, hope you enjoyed it XD
Thanks for reading and please review :)
