October 2026 (Castiel is 37, Dean is 38, Eden is 13, Adrian is 9 (almost 10), the twins are 5 (almost 6), Noah is 5 months old, Kevin is 16).
It was early October and Isaac had finally just gotten his cast off. His leg had healed, although he still wasn't supposed to play to wild with it. His wing had also made a good recovery but was still quite sensitive to being injured again. His tail still had an ugly scar down the left side of it which had been hit by the car, but the boy didn't seem to mind it much – he thought it looked cool. The wound on his forehead was healing well, as well as the cuts on his leg, and doctors had done all they could to prevent scarring.
Isaac was glad that he was allowed to go back to kindergarten again. He had always been very social and loved to play around with the other kids. Being alone and sitting down just wasn't him. Lily was also happy to have her twin back in the kindergarten, and on the first day the teachers had had their hands full when the two of them had been out of control from joy and Isaac had to tumble around with everyone. They had even complained a bit to Dean when he had picked them up in the late afternoon.
Saturday morning on the 10th of October, Castiel woke up at 8am. He blinked his eyes sleepily before turning his head to the side to look at Dean. The demon was still sleeping, his chest rising with every breath he took. Castiel smiled fondly and moved his hand up the bed to touch his mate's softened, rough feathers. There was a scent in the air. The scent of musk; very strong and very dominant. It took Castiel a few seconds to calculate that it was Dean who was having an erotic dream and was projecting a strong, sexual musk from it. Because Dean was his mate, Castiel could pick up the scent much better than others could.
The angel rolled his eyes when Dean made a soft, needy noise in his sleep. The demon shifted a little, and Castiel felt Dean's tail slap against his leg as it moved restlessly during Dean's dream.
Castiel slowly got up. He went over to the door and locked it before going back to the bed. He slowly pulled the covers off of Dean, who was dressed only in his boxers. The angel crawled down between the demon's legs and spread them a little to have more space. Dean was still sleeping, and his erection was hard and heavy in his underwear. His hips made small movements, so Castiel figured his dream was rather intense. He only hoped it was about him.
Castiel lay down on his stomach with his wings spread out behind him, before he carefully grabbed the waistband of Dean's underwear and pulled it down. The demon's leaking erection popped free, and Dean made a pleased moan in his sleep. Castiel took the cock in his hand, feeling its thickness and observing the strong veins in it. He gave it a few strokes before he leaned in and licked the underside of it. He teased the sensitive head with his tongue and smirked when Dean began to stir and wake up. Just when Dean was about to open his eyes, Castiel took him into his mouth as far as he could.
"Ahh, fuck!" Dean cursed in pleasure, and was suddenly wide awake. He leaned himself up a little and stared down at Cas who was between his legs, sucking him. "Cas?" he frowned. He moaned when the angel swirled his tongue over his cock.
Castiel couldn't fit all of Dean inside his mouth, and he pulled off when Dean spoke. "You were having a dream. I'm just helping," he stated, and licked at the member again.
Dean moaned loudly and lay back down. "I'm not complaining, you just surprised me," he chuckled. His hand found Cas' black hair and grabbed it while the angel sucked him down again. His hips bucked up on their own accord, making Castiel choke and pull off. Dean laughed a little when the angel glared up at him. "Sorry," he grinned, and stroked his hand through his mate's hair in apology.
Castiel went back to work once more, but this time he placed his hand on Dean's abdomen to keep him still. Dean was big enough as it was, he didn't want to be chocked on his cock when he bucked up. The angel used his other hand to stroke the part of Dean's dick that he couldn't reach while he sucked him, and he closed his eyes as he gave his mate pleasure and listened to the pleased moans and grunts he was rewarded with. Castiel could feel his hole leaking and soaking his underwear slightly, and his own dick was hard and painful between his legs. He rubbed it into the sheets, trying to be discreet, but Dean seemed to have noticed it.
"Fuck, that's so hot. You enjoy sucking me that much, little angel?" Dean grinned and grabbed Cas' hair tighter again.
Castiel only hummed in agreement, not bothering to pull off. The vibrations from his humming made Dean's cock ooze more precome, and Castiel swallowed it eagerly. He moved his hand away from the demon's member and down to his balls instead. They were heavy and warm, and he teased and cupped them while he continued sucking his mate.
"Fuck, I'm gonna come soon," Dean warned and arched his back off the bed. His wings were lying out flat across the bed and over the side of it, and they gave a small flap every now and then. His tail was restless, curling and shifting next to his leg. When Castiel began purring around him, Dean finally couldn't hold it back anymore. His hand tightened in the angel's hair and his back arched off the bed as he climaxed. He let out a long, dragged groan of pleasure as he came, wave after wave.
Castiel winced and pulled off when his mouth was flooded with the demon's come. He stroked Dean through the rest, watching the white, thick fluid coat his hand, Dean's balls and thighs, and the bed sheets below.
Dean collapsed on the bed and panted when it was over. He smiled happily and peered down at Cas who was slowly getting up. The angel went up from the bed to get a towel to clean the mess up with.
Castiel had only just cleaned it up before Dean grabbed his hand and dragged him down on top of him. The angel yelped in surprise as he landed on top of a very naked Dean, and the demon pressed their lips together and kissed him hungrily. Suddenly Dean's hands were in his wings and roaming over his body. Castiel mewled into Dean's mouth when he grabbed his ass with both hands. The demon's tail moved up, rubbing itself against the clothed cleft of the angel's ass and feeling the slickness that had already soaked the angel's black briefs.
Suddenly, Castiel was being maneuvered onto his stomach on the bed with Dean climbing on top of him. "Dean?" the angel asked, uncertainty in his voice, and glanced over his shoulder back at the demon.
Dean just grinned and made Castiel spread out his wings. The demon unbuttoned the shirt below the wings, making it able to be taken off. Castiel helped him remove his t-shirt and underwear until he was lying naked beneath Dean with his face pressed into a pillow. He still wasn't sure what Dean had in mind, and his wings twitched slightly as he wondered what would happen next.
Dean hummed as he looked down at his mate's submissive and spread-out body. He rubbed his hands up Castiel's spine, over his back, and up between his shoulder blades and wings. The angel shivered at the touch. Dean's tail moved over the angel's perfect ass, teasing between the cheeks and over the leaking hole between them.
"Ahhh please, Dean, stop with the teasing," Castiel whined and buried his face in the pillow.
Dean just grinned. "Just lay still and enjoy." He buried his hands in the silken soft feathers, smirking when Cas cried out in pleasure. He moved his tail away from his ass, causing the angel to whine in protest, but he soon stopped whining when Dean touched his oil glands and teased the little nubs with his fingers. Oil leaked out, and Castiel's body jolted when Dean gently pinched the glands.
"Dean!" Castiel cried out.
"Wanna see if I can make you come just by touching those precious wings of yours… I bet I can. I've done it before, remember?" Dean smirked behind him.
Castiel groaned impatiently and rubbed himself against the sheets.
"Ah-ah," Dean told him. "Don't rub your pretty little dick against the sheets, that's cheating. It's just your wings that are in focus now." He grinned when Castiel growled in annoyance, but he knew that Cas liked it when he paid attention to his wings, and only his wings.
Dean sat with his legs on either side of Cas' hips, and he finally began moving his hands into the feathers, rubbing the wing bones, touching the oil glands, and stimulating the angel as well as possible. His own wings were spread above them and flared with interest as he pleasured his angel's pure white wings. Soon, Castiel became a moaning, begging mess, and Dean could tell that the angel's ass was leaking and clenching without even seeing it.
"Dean, please," Castiel sobbed, and grasped the sheets tightly. He wanted so desperately for Dean to touch his hole, but he knew that the demon wasn't going to do that now that his focus was on his wings.
Dean leaned down, licking at the glands now and rubbing them with his tongue, making Cas buck and cry out again. He was a little worried that Cas' cries could be heard around the house, so he told Cas to bite at the pillow to muffle the sounds a little. It was a shame because Dean really liked those pretty noises.
Castiel's body was becoming more and more stimulated, to the point that it almost hurt for the angel. Dean grasped the feathers harshly and teased the oil glands with his under hand – tickling and pinching them until Cas finally came apart under him. The angel cried into the pillow and bucked and writhed as he finally came into the sheets.
"Fuck," Dean cursed as he heard and felt Cas' pleasure. He stroked his hands up and down the angel's spine for the ten seconds that it lasted, until Castiel slumped against the bed in exhaustion. Dean sat back with a smug grin and lifted himself off of Cas. "I think we need to clean the sheets today."
"Mmhmm," Castiel hummed into the pillow. His body was tingling with the aftermath of the pleasure and he didn't have the strength to move. His wings were spread out lazily and the feathers were a mess after all the attention Dean had given them. They twitched as a pleasant tingle went through them after his orgasm.
Dean chuckled at him and gave his ass a playful slap, making the angel jump in surprise.
Castiel looked up and saw that Dean was becoming hard again. He rolled his eyes at his mate, who only gave him an apologetic grin, before he crawled over and stroked and licked Dean until he climaxed again. The come coated his hand and the sheets once more, and Castiel licked most of it up and used the towel to clean the rest.
"Hmm, definitely need new sheets now," Dean remarked with a smirk.
"I'll do it later, I'm hungry now," Castiel muttered and got up from the bed.
"And we really need to talk to Charlie about that intrauterine device soon," Dean spoke. He came up behind the angel as he tried to get dressed, and Castiel stilled when Dean wrapped his arm around him and rested his head on the angel's shoulder.
"I know, we'll call her soon," Castiel smiled and wrestled free from Dean's embrace.
Dean agreed with him and grinned excitedly. After getting dressed they went downstairs to have some breakfast and wait for the rest of the children to wake up. The twins were up already, watching TV and tumbling on the couch.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
In the afternoon they went over to the Trans' house so the kids could see Maggie and her puppies. The puppies were almost six weeks old now, and almost old enough to be taken away from their mother and find a new home. Kevin and his mother wanted to sell them when they were ready because Mrs. Tran didn't want all those dogs running around her house – one hyper dog was enough for her.
They were outside in the garden where the eight puppies were running around. They were still small and couldn't walk or run properly yet so they stumbled a lot, but they were active and healthy. Maggie kept a close eye on them and was a good mother.
"They are so cuuute!" Lily exclaimed and kneeled down to pet the puppies. Isaac joined her, and the puppies came over to him and sniffed him curiously. Adrian and Eden were equally interested, and Kevin allowed Eden to pick up one of the puppies. She cradled it in her arms and grinned down at it as it squirmed around curiously. Maggie was calm, and she wagged her tail as she went between them and her puppies.
Castiel smiled when Eden showed the puppy to him, and Noah glanced down at it with interest as he sat on his papa's arm. The angel used his free hand to gently pet the puppy's head and smiled fondly at it. He had always liked baby animals, but Michael had never allowed him to have a pet.
All the puppies had a piece of cloth around their necks, and each had a different color so that they could be told apart from one another. The puppy in Eden's arms had a pink colored cloth.
"We've named her Molly so far," Kevin told them as he watched Eden hold the puppy and show it to her parents. "She's one of the calmest puppies, and the youngest. I have the feeling her siblings leave her out sometimes because she's a little weaker…"
"Aw," Eden cooed and petted the puppy in sympathy. Adrian came over next to her to see.
"The puppy does look a little smaller than the others…" Dean noted as he looked between the puppies.
Mrs. Tran came over. "Molly's always been a bit smaller because she doesn't get to feed as much, so we started pushing the others back so she could have some space. She seems a bit more confident now."
"She's for sale in about two weeks if you want her…" Kevin grinned.
Dean turned his head to look at Kevin. He looked a little hesitant before glancing back at the puppy that Eden was already bonding with. "Nah, I don't know…" He looked at Cas for help, and the angel looked up at him with hesitation as well. They had talked a bit about having a dog but hadn't fully decided yet.
"Well, since you've babysat Maggie so often, we'll give her to you for free," Mrs. Tran offered. "But first when she's old enough to get away from her mother. And you may change the name if you want."
The twins lit up at that and jumped over to them. "Please, please, please! We want a dog!" they begged and began pulling at Dean and Cas' shirts.
"Whoa, don't rip our clothes off," Dean spoke and took a step back. He turned his head and looked at Cas for help with the decision.
Castiel stared back at Dean before turning his gaze to the children and the little puppy. Molly was licking at Eden's finger now and the girl giggled and cooed softly at the dog. Noah squirmed on the angel's arm, wanting to get closer to the puppy, but Castiel didn't let him get too close. He pondered for a few moments, and the kids looked up at him with hope and excitement.
"I don't know… If she's a calm dog and the children respect that she needs some space for herself sometimes then I don't see why not," Castiel finally spoke. The children cheered and the angel turned to look at his mate, who stared back at him with a calculating frown.
"Hmmm," Dean pondered, looking at intensely at his mate and the children. "Well, fine with me, but you guys have to take part in taking care of her then," he said firmly.
"Yay!" they all cheered happily, and Mrs. Tran and Kevin laughed.
"I wanna hold the puppy too!" Lily told Eden and held up her hands towards the puppy.
"Okay, but be really gentle," Eden told her firmly, before she carefully put Molly into Lily's arms.
"Don't drop, squeeze, or let her get hurt," Dean said to them with a firm stare.
"We won't," Lily promised. Isaac and Adrian came over to look and touch the puppy gently.
Castiel smiled when he saw how happy the children were, and Dean turned to face Kevin and his mother. "You don't need to give the puppy for free, you know…"
"No discussions there," Mrs. Tran said. "You get her for free, and that's final."
Dean chuckled. "Thanks. I guess we'll pick her up when she's ready." He turned to look at Cas again. "And we have to buy dog stuff now… And take her to a vet for vaccinations and stuff."
Castiel chuckled softly. "We'll manage."
The children were excited to have a dog of their own, and they couldn't stop admiring the puppy that would soon be theirs. Eden made Lily put Molly back with her siblings again, and they watched as all the puppies played and tumbled around. Dean and Castiel shared a happy smile together, and they stayed at the Trans' house for a while.
Afterwards, they decided to take a walk around the neighborhood before going home. Castiel was walking with Noah on his arm, and the baby was still wide awake and active. They walked to the end of the neighborhood before going back home. The children loved taking walks, and Lily and Eden would sometimes collect flowers from the sidewalk or park and bring them home.
Lily fell a bit behind as she was busy picking pretty flowers from the grass around the sidewalk. She always had her little shoulder bag with her when they went for a walk, and she put the flowers inside along with pretty stones that she found. Her family was already going across the street back to their house just before they passed Crowley's house (they didn't want to walk on the sidewalk outside the demon's residence, especially not when his car was there). Lily was about to join them when she saw something shiny lying on the grass outside Crowley's house. She leaned down and picked up a golden wristwatch. She turned it in her hands, admiring the golden color, and figured it was probably expensive. Assuming that someone must have lost it, she put it into her little bag so he could bring it back home and show it to her parents. They would know what to do with it.
Lily carefully looked out for cars before going across the street. Dean had stopped up to see where she was, and Lily smiled up at him when she caught up with him and the others.
Once they were inside, Dean announced, "I'll go do some shopping now. If anyone wants to come with, now's your chance, otherwise you can stay here with your papa. And Adrian, you can't come – there might be some birthday shopping." He looked at Adrian who nodded silently. His birthday was in ten days so Dean had to buy the rest of the presents until then.
The children looked between each other.
"But my fav show has its final episode today," Isaac muttered.
"Well, stay home then," Dean chuckled.
"I wanna go!" Lily jumped. Dean grinned down at her, and Lily went over to Eden. "Are you coming too?"
"Nah, Carter promised he'd call me today at 4:15pm to help me with that math assignment for Monday, and that's in twenty minutes, so I can't go," Eden said, and gave her little sister an apologetic smile.
"Guess it's just you and me then, sweetie," Dean smiled at Lily. He reached out his hand towards her and she took it happily. Dean looked over at Castiel before going, "Take care of the kids, Cas. We'll probably be back in two hours or so."
"Alright, see you later, Dean," Castiel smiled and waved goodbye at them as Dean took Lily into the garage where the car was parked.
They took the Impala, which Dean always found an excuse to drive when the whole family wasn't joining.
Lily eagerly jumped into the car – the wristwatch in her bag completely forgotten.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Eden was in her room for over an hour, talking with Carter on the phone before she went downstairs again. Isaac and Adrian were playing a video game after Isaac's long awaited episode had aired, and Castiel had just put Noah upstairs to nap.
"Can you please look after your siblings while I shower?" Castiel asked Eden after she came downstairs.
"Sure, papa," Eden smiled. She watched Castiel disappear into the bathroom and heard the shower being turned on a few moments later. She went over to the couch and sat down while watching her brothers play. She decided to read a book until her papa was done.
After a few minutes, the doorbell rang.
The children looked up, frowning.
Eden got up from the couch and went into the entrance hall. She went up on her toes and peered through the door spy, but the person was looking down so she couldn't really see who it was. She thought it looked a bit like Crowley, but her common sense told her that he wouldn't dare to come over to their house, so she opened the door carefully to see who it was.
Eden flinched back when she saw Crowley staring back at her. She tried to shut the door, but Crowley blocked it and pushed it open, causing Eden to get pushed back. She stared at him, wide-eyed and in horror. "You're not supposed to be here, get out," she told him and swallowed nervously.
"I'm not going anywhere until I get my watch," Crowley growled. "Where is it?"
Eden frowned at him, confused. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Of course you don't. You little freaks always have to complicate things, don't you?" Crowley sneered and stepped over the threshold. Eden flinched back. "It is very urgent that it get it back; it mustn't fall into the wrong hands. So, where is it?" he growled out impatiently.
Adrian and Isaac immediately became alerted when they heard Crowley's voice. Adrian ran out into the entrance hall. "Hey! My dad says you can't be here! Get out!"
"I'll be going as soon as I get that damned watch! I know you have it – I saw that white-winged little freak sibling of yours snooping around outside my house, and later I find out that my watch is missing and figured I must have lost it outside. Doesn't take a genius to know that she took it," Crowley snapped. There was something panicking about him that made the children frown. Crowley tried to walk into the living room but the children gathered in front of him to block his path.
"Lily didn't take anything!" Adrian yelled angrily. Isaac stood behind him, staring up at the demon in fear and hesitation.
"Papa!" Eden screamed while she tried holding Crowley back.
Crowley laughed at her mockingly. "Just your papa home, huh? I'm not afraid of him. Now, move out of my way," he growled.
"This is our house! You move away!" Adrian snapped back, and pushed against at the alpha demon insistently. Crowley gnarled and tried to push his way through, but Eden grabbed his tail from behind and held him back. He snarled in pain and turned around to glare at her.
Finally the bathroom door was opened and Castiel came into the entrance hall through the door across from the bathroom. He was dressed in sweatpants and a dark t-shirt, and his hair and wings were still wet even though he had quickly tried to dry them. He looked concerned as he came out, but he instantly froze when he saw Crowley.
Crowley looked over at him. His eyes roamed over Castiel's body and his wet, white wings. His lips curled into a malicious, lewd smirk. "Pretty angel home all alone without his mate? Oh, the things I could do to you… But I really just want my watch back."
Castiel finally snapped out of it and growled as he went over to Crowley. "What are you doing here? Get out of my house!"
"I told you; I want my watch back. It's very urgent," Crowley growled and sharpened his wings threateningly. The children screamed and flinched back.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you don't get out I will call the police," Castiel told him, and continued glaring at the demon. His knees felt a bit shaky but he tried to ignore it.
Crowley snarled in anger and frustration. "Then where is that little freak of yours?! The white-winged girl who took it!"
"Lily isn't home!" Adrian snapped.
Crowley looked down at him with a very displeased and dark face, and Castiel finally came over to push the demon out of his house.
"Get out," Castiel growled, and placed a hand on Crowley's chest as he tried to shove him back outside. He was scared and frightened, but adrenaline pumped through his body and his instincts to protect his children were stronger than the fear.
"You don't give me orders! You're below me," Crowley growled. He reached forward and grasped Castiel by the front of his shirt, aggressively. "Now give me that fucking watch!" he ordered. Castiel stared back at him with wide eyes.
"Nooo, leave papa alone!" Isaac cried.
Adrian growled and tackled himself into Crowley's side but the demon barely budged. "Leave our papa alone!" he yelled and hit at him. Eden came from the other side and punched against Crowley's arm as she tried to make him let go. The demon snarled in aggression and spread out his wings, causing the children to get pushed back. Adrian and Isaac landed on the ground, and Eden was pushed back into the shoe drawers.
Castiel stared wide-eyed at Crowley as the demon had him where he wanted him, and he growled when the demon hurt his children. "Get the hell out of here!" he yelled and snarled at him. He tried to scratch the demon's arm with his nails, but Crowley stubbornly held on to him. His wings thrashed helplessly behind him, and he couldn't use them for an attack in his current position.
Noah was crying upstairs because all the noise had woken him up, but Cas couldn't go to him at the moment.
"I'm getting really tired of you and your little family always pissing me off," Crowley bit out, and tightened his grip on the angel's shirt. Adrian got up again and charged at him, but the almost 10-year-old boy was no match for someone like Crowley who simply kicked him back.
Finally, Adrian managed to grab a hold of the demon's tail when Crowley wasn't paying attention, and he gave it hard pull.
Crowley screamed out in pain and finally let go of Castiel who fell back on the stairs. He gasped in pain before glaring at Adrian with hateful eyes. The boy stepped back, warily. "You little—"
The next thing Crowley knew was a hard impact against the side of his face when Castiel got up and swung his wing right into the demon's head at full force. Castiel cried out in pain because his sensitive wing wasn't designed for attacks, and Crowley collapsed on the floor on his hands and knees.
The children stared wide-eyed at the scene, and Eden came over to help Castiel when his wing ached and hurt.
Crowley seemed completely disoriented for a few moments. He put a hand on the side of his face where Cas had hit him and groaned in pain, and a few drops of blood came out of his mouth.
Adrian and Isaac grinned in victory when they saw Crowley bleeding and confused, but the demon glared up at them and growled aggressively, making them flinch back.
Crowley slowly got up, supporting himself against the wall as he was wobbling on his feet and clearly feeling a bit dizzy. He glared over at Castiel with hatred. "You'll regret this."
Everyone held their breaths, but when the familiar sound of the Impala pulling up into the driveway sounded, everyone – except Crowley – sighed in relief. The children grinned smugly at the demon, knowing he would totally get his ass kicked now.
Crowley's eyes widened, and he turned to look out the door which was still half open.
Dean had sensed through his bond with Cas that something was wrong, so he strode up to the front door and pushed the door open. His eyes blazed when he saw Crowley inside his house, Cas sitting on the stairs with a hurt wing, and the children looking distressed. Dean growled, low and aggressively, and he grabbed Crowley harshly by the front of his shirt and threw him outside into the front yard. Lily flinched back and yelped in shock when Crowley came flying out of the house.
Dean was out of it from anger.
As soon as Crowley was thrown outside and had gotten to his feet again, Dean punched him right in the face, making the other demon fall to the ground once more. Dean snarled and growled as he began punching Crowley over and over, who fought back after a few seconds.
"You fucking can't listen, can you?!" Dean snapped between the punches. "I warned you to stay the fuck away from my family!" he roared.
"This wouldn't have happened if that little shit hadn't stolen my watch!" Crowley finally managed to snarl out, and he pointed over at Lily while he lay on the grass, bloody and bruised.
The neighbors had noticed the commotion by now and had called the police, and some of them gathered in front of the house and watched the fight in horror. Castiel and the children watched the fight from the doorway and held their breaths. Noah's cries had stopped, which was good because Castiel didn't have time to check on him at the moment.
Dean just snarled at Crowley and kept punching, and Crowley fought back and finally managed to kick Dean off.
"Dad!" Adrian shouted in worry from the door when Dean got kicked back. The kick had hit him in the stomach and it looked quite painful.
Crowley got to his feet and the two demons didn't stop glaring at each other. They circled one another, sizing the other up. Dean was somewhat taller and his wings were sharper and stronger, but Crowley wasn't easy to beat down. They growled and bared their teeth at each other before they charged again and an intense fight broke out, involving punches, kicks, razor sharp wings, and aggressive snarling.
Crowley managed to land a few punches at Dean and cut him with his sharp wings, but it was Dean who had the upper hand in the fight. The neighbors didn't dare to intervene, and Brad also kept his distance – it wasn't his fight.
Dean finally punched Crowley so hard that the other demon landed face-down in the lawn and was too aching to move. Dean panted heavily, and his fists were bloody and bruised. His wings were still sharp and ready for fight, and he growled down at Crowley before wiping blood away from his mouth with his hand.
"That's what you get from coming here," Dean snapped at him.
Crowley merely groaned and turned over on his side. He sent Dean a hard, hateful glare, but Dean could also tell that Crowley had given up now. The defeated demon was a bloody mess, and he had wounds all over from where Dean had cut him with his feathers.
The police finally arrived, and three officers got out and went over to them fast. They were ready with guns, but when they saw the fight was over they seemed to calm down a little. Dean told them that Crowley had come into his home and had attacked his family while he was away, and the police immediately pulled the demon up from the lawn and arrested him. Crowley glared at Dean and his family the whole way over to the police car.
Castiel and the children came outside to see if Dean was okay once Crowley was in the police car.
Dean smiled a little when Castiel came over and looked him up and down. Dean face was a little bloody and bruised, as were his hands, and Crowley's sharp wings had cut his thigh and his side. "Don't worry, Cas, I'm fine. I'm more worried about you," he spoke, and frowned in worry at the angel's left wing which wasn't folded completely behind the angel's back due to pain.
"It's fine, just hurts a bit," the angel told him. "I'm so relieved you came…"
"Yeah, nice timing, dad," Eden smiled as she stood beside them.
"Well, it seems that your papa did a pretty good job at protecting you as well," Dean grinned and looked proudly at Cas. The angel gave him a small smile.
They all looked up when a familiar face came over to them. "Hey, I heard there was some commotion at your house so I decided to take the call," Jody told them. She smiled at them, and she was dressed in her police uniform this time.
Dean was surprised to see her. "Oh, it's you," he grinned. "Yeah, fucking Crowley has given us some trouble in the past few months…"
"Mind telling me what he wanted from you today?" Jody asked.
"He kept saying he wanted his watch…" Castiel muttered and frowned.
"Yeah, that's all he kept saying," Adrian spoke. Isaac nodded in agreement.
"Watch?" Jody frowned.
"Oh!" Lily exclaimed. She reached into her shoulder bag, and the others watched her in confusion. She pulled out the golden watch that she had found earlier. "Maybe it's this one? I found it outside his house today, on the sidewalk. I wanted to give it to daddy and papa because I thought someone had lost it. But I forgot about it again…" She handed the watch to Jody who took it and frowned at it suspiciously.
The others' faces lit up in understanding.
"So it was you who took it!" Adrian blurted. "He kept saying he saw you snooping around his house, but we didn't know anything about that watch."
"You should have told us you found it," Castiel told her, but not unkindly.
Lily looked up at him in shame. "But I forgot…"
"It's alright, sweetie, not your fault," Dean smiled at her. He looked back at Jody who was still studying the watch in her hands. She gestured for one of her colleagues to come over and they used a loop to inspect the watch closer.
"I think this is one of the stolen pieces of jewelry we've been looking for for the past few months," Jody muttered. "There has been several expensive jewelry pieces that were stolen from shops all over the state, and they are being sold on to unknowing third parties. I've been investigating that case for a while now, but we haven't got a final lead on the culprits yet. Well, until now."
Dean's eyebrows rose up. "Seriously?" The others gasped in shock.
"Well, we can't know for sure if Crowley is involved until we've searched his house, but I wouldn't be surprised if we find more stuff there. He probably doesn't work alone either. I'll let you know when I know more," Jody said. She smiled at them and nodded goodbye as she went back to her police car, and they said goodbye to her as well.
Some paramedics had arrived to look at Dean, and the demon groaned in annoyance over their fuss. Castiel rolled his eyes when Dean tried to stay manly and claim he didn't need to get looked at, but the angel insisted he should. Another paramedic tried to look at Castiel wing as well, but the angel quickly flinched it away.
Dean laughed. "And you told me that I need to be looked at and then you refuse it yourself." He sat on the back of the ambulance while a male human treated his wounds. The children grinned at his comment.
Castiel glared at him. "You know why I don't like it," he muttered accusingly.
"Well, I have to assess your wing," the female paramedic said. "It there pain all the time? When you move it? When something touches it?"
"Um, yes to all three questions," Castiel told her.
The paramedic nodded. "But I have to see if there is anything indicating that it's broken, so…"
Castiel looked at her in extreme discomfort. He didn't like anyone else but Dean touching his wings, and he was very wary of doctors that he wasn't familiar with. He glanced at Dean who gave him an encouraging smile before he finally relaxed and let the human woman touch his wing to assess its condition. Castiel tensed and trembled slightly. Ever since Michael had put him through those awful, humiliating examinations when he was younger, his body went into a defense mode when a doctor or paramedic touched him. The fact that this paramedic was female did make him feel slightly more comfortable, and he replied to the questions she asked. Eden was by his side, holding his hand for comfort and it relaxed him a little.
"Well, it's not broken," the paramedic spoke and stepped back. "Just keep it still and don't move it around too much for the next few days. Flying is not advised."
Dean chuckled. "We can't fly that well anyway." Castiel chuckled a little at that too.
When the paramedic walked away, Castiel turned to Eden and asked her, "Can you go check on Noah for me and bring him outside if he's awake?"
Eden nodded. "Okay," she smiled and went inside.
Lily and Isaac went over and hugged Castiel as he stood next to Dean by the ambulance. The angel smiled down at them and rubbed their backs soothingly.
"So glad you're okay, papa," Isaac sniffled.
Castiel smiled. "And I'm glad the rest of you are okay."
Dean looked up when the male paramedic returned after having disappeared into the ambulance for a while. "We'd like to take you to the hospital and stitch up that cut on your leg."
"Seriously?" Dean groaned.
"You should go, Dean. I will pick you up soon," Castiel told him. Dean would go with the ambulance but couldn't get home without a car. Eden was old enough to look after her siblings for an hour while the angel picked him up.
Dean agreed and said goodbye to the children. He'd rather not go to the hospital, but he didn't want his wounds to keep bleeding or getting infected either. He kissed Castiel goodbye before going with the ambulance to the hospital.
Noah was blissfully unaware of the events, but he had gotten a little restless after all the shouting in the house earlier. Castiel comforted him until he took the Tahoe and headed for the hospital. Dean's wounds weren't serious even if they needed stitches and bandages, and Crowley had had it much worse. The children were relieved when Dean came home and seemed fine.
They were all relieved that they might have finally gotten rid of Crowley now. He would face jail no matter what because he had trespassed into their house and been violent towards them. Threatening children wasn't something the court would overlook – even if they were angel/demon hybrids.
After a few days of recovering from the incident and injuries, Jody came by to inform them that Crowley was indeed involved with selling stolen items on to unknowing customers. The items had been stolen by professional thieves, after which Crowley and five other businessmen sold the items on. His house had a whole box of stolen goods, and they figured that the golden watch must have fallen out completely by accident when he had hurried the box inside his house. To anyone else, it had just looked like he had been shopping so none of the neighbors were suspicious about the boxes he carried. It seemed he was being put away for a long time now. It was no wonder he had been so obsessed about getting the watch back after he found out that Lily had taken it – he knew that if it fell into the police's hands he would be busted.
Dean couldn't help but think that Crowley had been incredibly stupid to do such risky and illegal things, but he certainly didn't feel sorry for him that he had been arrested. Lily was a little hero in everyone's eyes now.
The family was happy that their neighborhood had turned peaceful again, and prayed it would stay that way. Castiel knew they were unlikely to ever see Crowley again.

Author's notes: Ending this chapter was really difficult, so I'm sorry if it ended up seeming a little sloppy. Crowley is gone for good now, and the family finally got to make a stand against him. Finding out how to get rid of him was tricky, but I knew that I wanted him over at their house while Dean wasn't around.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter! There will be more time jumping from now on, and some more focus on Eden especially since things will begin to change between her and Jason and I want to explore that.
Please review and thanks for reading :)
