April 2034 (Castiel is 44, Dean is 46, Eden is 20, Adrian is 17, the twins are 13, Noah is 7 (almost 8), Jason is 21, Gabriel is 49, Katie is 44, Mark is 14, Heidi is 4 (almost 5), Lokiana is 12 (almost 13) years old).

They stared at each other for a few seconds before Dean rushed over to Castiel's side, sitting down on the chair to Castiel's left and took his hand in his own. "Fuck, Cas, I am so sorry about everything. I've been such a dick to you lately and it's made me feel so bad. I'm so sorry…" His voice broke and he lowered his head to hide his face from Castiel, taking a deep breath to control his emotions again. Tears pricked in his eyes from guilt and worry, and he knew Cas could feel it through their bond because he had finally opened the connection between them again.

Castiel's heart clenched at the guilt in Dean's voice and how the demon's eyes watered. He rarely saw that side of Dean and somehow it felt strange and unnatural to see his alpha mate like that. At the same time it made him happy that Dean wasn't stubbornly holding back his emotions at the moment. Castiel gave Dean's hand a small squeeze with his own which trapped between the demon's larger hands. "It's okay, Dean, I have not been nice to you either. Things have not been easy lately, for both of us." He offered Dean a small smile when his mate lifted his head to look at him. Part of him was still angry at Dean for treating him the way he did, but Castiel knew that dwelling in that anger would not do any of them any good, and at the moment he was just too relieved to care about their arguments.

"No, it isn't okay, I should have had more control of myself," Dean muttered and clenched his teeth slightly. "I've just been so upset about everything – my dad's heart attack and almost losing him, and then all the shit at work… I've just been so worried and frustrated all the time, and I felt like I was being bombarded by problems and things to do all the fucking time, and whenever you told me I needed to fix something at home I just snapped. I couldn't take any more in my head, and I let it out on you."

"I know. And although I have been pretty upset with you, I don't blame you for being frustrated over all the things that have happened. But you could just have talked me about it, though… instead of carrying all those frustrations by yourself."

Dean gave him a weak smile and brought Castiel's hand up to kiss it. "Yeah… And I'll make it up to you, I promise." He placed a soft kiss on the angel's hand, letting his lips linger on the skin for a moment. A single tear ran down his cheek, finally escaping from his eyes which were fixed on the angel's.

Castiel smiled. He entangled his hand from Dean's and moved it up to wipe that lonely tear away, looking into Dean's green eyes and smiled sincerely at him. "I know you will."

They were interrupted when a nurse suddenly came into the room. "Mx. Winchester, the doctor is almost ready to see you now – a little earlier than expected, even. She will come to your room soon," she told Castiel. Castiel gave a small nod before she disappeared again.

Most submissives didn't like being referred to as Mr., Mrs. or Miss since it didn't really apply properly to their gender. Mx. was used instead since it was a gender-neutral honorific.

When the nurse was gone, Dean turned to look at Castiel with a small frown on his forehead. "They didn't fix you yet?"

Castiel softly shook his head against the pillow. "No, the special doctor was busy all day. I'm glad you came… I don't like having them touch my wing."

Dean took his hand again and squeezed it. "You'll be fine. I'll be right by your side." He looked over at the bandaged wing on the angel's other side. "What happened anyway? Did someone hurt you?" His chest rumbled slightly at the idea of someone hurting his mate, and he unconsciously gripped Castiel's hand tighter between his own.

"No, I fell off the stepladder at work… I haven't been sleeping well lately and suddenly I lost my concentration and my balance while standing on the ladder."

"Jesus, Cas," Dean sighed, although he was relieved that Cas' injury had only been an accident. Castiel stared back at him apologetically. "You gotta be careful when standing on ladders. Seeing that precious wing of yours injured like that breaks my heart," he confessed and kissed the angel's hand softly.

"I know. It was stupid of me…" the angel murmured and averted Dean's eyes.

"Well, I guess we're both pretty stupid sometimes," Dean spoke and smirked a little.

Castiel snorted but smiled at Dean's comment. He shifted on the bed, getting sore from his current position, and hissed softly when his movements put strain on his injured wing.

Dean immediately put a hand on the angel's shoulder to keep him down. "Whoa, be careful, Cas. You're hurting yourself."

"But I'm tired of lying like this for hours," the angel replied, pouting slightly.

"I know, but you can't move too much right now," Dean chuckled softly and brushed his fingers through the feathers on Castiel's left wing which was unharmed. "And by the way… you look awful," he remarked with a teasing smirk when he saw the rings under Castiel's eyes.

Castiel huffed. "So do you."

Dean laughed a little. "Yeah, I know."

The special doctor finally came in, ready to fix up Castiel's broken wing. They had to move the angel into another room for that, and Dean was right by his mate's side, holding him on his feet and supporting his wing the best he could without hurting him as they walked through the corridors towards the treatment room. Dean growled when they passed an alpha angel in the corridor whose eyes lingered on Castiel's wings as he walked by, obviously liking what he saw. The guy quickly looked elsewhere when Dean gave him a warning growl, and Castiel couldn't help but smile; he was glad to have the old, protective Dean back again.

Castiel was instructed to lie down during the treatment, and Dean held his hand tightly. The doctor had given them an odd glance when she saw they were an angel/demon couple but she didn't seem to mind it. She was careful when she touched Castiel's wing to feel the damage, and the angel hissed and bit his lip to hold back pained cries. Dean held his hand, rubbing it with his thumbs to comfort him, and he kept a close eye on what the doctor was doing. The doctor began wrapping the wing up tightly so that it was folded and unable to move because of the bandages. There was something stiff put in along with the bandages to keep the bone steady and straight and help the healing.

"There, the bandages are done now. Just don't put any pressure on the wing, and avoid sitting on couches and any other places where you cannot rest the wing down the side of your body, because you will not be able to move your wing or let the feathers bend while the bandages are on," the doctor said afterwards, and stepped back a little.

Castiel was lying on his stomach on the patient bed, and he sighed in relief once the doctor was done. "Thank you," he told her, and allowed Dean to help him get up from the bed.

Dean told the doctor thank you as well before he and Castiel finally left the hospital. Castiel had gotten a lot of painkillers so the pain in his wing was dulled for now, but he would need to take a few more tomorrow. At least the injury shouldn't feel as bad the next day. They walked back to the Impala together, and Dean supported Castiel all the way even though the angel insisted he could walk just fine.

"What about the children? Did Balthazar pick them up?" Castiel asked when they reached the car.

"Yeah, he did. They're all at home, waiting for you, but I drove Balthazar home since he had an appointment with a friend."

Castiel snorted softly. "Is that your way of saying you kicked him out of the house?"

Dean laughed and opened the backdoor of the Impala. "No, he really did have to leave." When the angel was about to get into the car to lie down on the backseat, Dean put a hand on his chest to stop him. Castiel gave him a questioning stare, and the demon moved his hand over the angel's chest absently before looking into his mate's eyes. "I'm glad you're okay, Cas. I got really worried and scared when Balthazar told me you were in the hospital… And fuck, I've missed you so much." He grabbed Castiel by the back of the head and pulled him into a deep kiss, sighing in satisfaction when he tasted his angel's mouth and felt his soft lips against his own.

Castiel was momentarily surprised by the gesture but quickly responded. He let Dean tease his tongue with his own and mewled when Dean grabbed his hair tightly. When they pulled away, Castiel stared back at his mate with a small smile and said, "I've missed you too."

Dean's lips curled into a huge grin before finally helping the angel into the car. Castiel had to lie on his left side to avoid any pressure on his wing, and Dean had to drive carefully to avoid getting into an accident which could cause Cas to get pushed around the car.

The drive home felt long, and Dean smiled a little when he looked in the rearview mirror and saw the angel napping on the backseat. Dean himself was dead tired too, but he wouldn't allow himself to be grumpy because of that; their fights had affected their family enough as it was.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

They came home at 7:40pm, and Dean carefully helped Castiel out of the car and up to the house. As soon as they opened the door the children were there immediately.

"Papa!" Noah and the twins cheered and came over to them.

Castiel chuckled softly. "Hello children."

"Are you okay?" Noah asked and stared at his papa's bandaged wing in worry. The others stared at it with wide eyes and cringed at the sight. Adrian, Eden and Jason appeared in the doorway to the living room and looked relieved that Dean and Castiel had come home.

"I'm glad you're home, papa," Eden smiled and sighed in relief.

Molly was running around between them, but Dean pushed her away when she got too close to Castiel's injured wing. The dog looked up at him as if offended that she couldn't greet Castiel properly, but she obediently backed off and went over to Jason and Adrian who were paying the most attention to her right now.

"I'm alright, it just hurts a little," Castiel told Noah before looking over at Eden. "Thank you, Eden. I'm also glad to be home," he smiled.

"What happened anyway?" Adrian asked and glanced at Castiel's injured wing with a worried frown on his forehead. He absently scratched Molly behind the ears while she was sitting on the floor by his feet.

The angel sighed. "I have been feeling very tired all day, so I ended up losing my balance on the stepladder while working on a sculpture, and I fell to the ground and landed on my wing. It was a silly thing that could have been avoided…" He smiled a little when he felt Dean rub his leg with his tail as if telling him not to blame himself for it.

Eden and Lily gasped.

"Oh my god, that sounds painful!" Lily exclaimed. She shivered and folded her wings tighter against her body at the thought of breaking one of them.

Noah's eyes widened, and his wings twitched in sympathy. "You okay?"

"I'm fine now. The doctors treated me nicely," Castiel spoke and offered Noah a reassuring smile. Dean suddenly moved down to help Castiel out of his shoes after having taken off his own, but the angel pulled his foot back. "Dean, I can take my shoes off myself…"

"No you can't. You shouldn't be moving around too much, and whenever you bend down you have a habit of flaring out your wings, which you can't do right now. So I'll do it for you," Dean said firmly and began taking off Castiel's right shoe for him.

Castiel looked slightly annoyed – mostly because he knew that Dean was right – but he let the demon help him out of his shoes anyway. It was a bit embarrassing since all the children and Jason were looking, and Castiel still insisted he could have done it himself.

The children snickered at their interaction and at Castiel's face before heading into the living room.

When they went into the living room Castiel winced slightly when he experimentally tried to move his wing a little. The bandages felt uncomfortable and confining, and his wing felt trapped. He didn't like the feeling at all.

"I know how much it sucks to have a broken wing. I broke mine too once," Isaac said when he saw Castiel's annoyed face and how the angel glared briefly at his bandaged wing.

Castiel shivered at the memory of Isaac's accident. "I know. And it has only been less than an hour since the bandages came on and I already hate them." Lily and Eden chuckled at that.

"I wouldn't know about it, but it doesn't look comfortable," Jason said, giving Castiel a sympathetic stare.

"Are you and dad still mad at each other…?" Noah suddenly asked and stared between his parents cautiously.

Dean and Castiel blinked in surprise and turned their heads to look at each other. Dean smiled and looked down at Noah, saying, "Nah, you don't need to worry too much about that anymore, we got it sorted out, I think. We'll try our best not to get mad at each other again anytime soon." Noah gave a relieved sigh but still looked a little worried.

"I'm glad to hear that," Eden spoke. "Last time I was home in the weekend you were both pretty scary to be around…"

Adrian huffed. "Try being home all week, then."

"Uhhuh," Lily agreed.

"I thought you were gonna leave each other, like Abby's parents did…" Noah said in a small voice. Abby was his friend whom he had known since kindergarten, and Noah had found it difficult to watch her cry at school sometimes after her parents had broken their bond and left each other.

Dean immediately squatted down to be more eye level with his youngest child and looked him in the eyes. "Hey, don't think that. There is no way your papa and I would ever leave each other, no matter how much we argue or whatever bad words we throw at each other. You hear me?"

Noah nodded weakly and blinked his eyes a few times to keep the tears away.

"Come here," Dean sighed and pulled Noah into a hug. The small boy immediately wrapped his arms around Dean's neck and let his father pull him up into his arms when he stood up again. Dean held Noah close to his body and pressed a soft kiss to the boy's head. Noah's wings were tucked tightly against his back, but he didn't mind Dean's hand coming into contact with some of the feathers when his father rubbed his back for comfort.

Castiel smiled and watched the scene quietly.

"Yeah, I was getting a bit worried about that too…" Lily confessed.

"All parents argue," Isaac told her.

"Jason and I argue too sometimes, but we always make up," Eden spoke. She grabbed Jason's hand and smiled up at her boyfriend who smiled back at her.

Noah turned his head while still pressed against Dean's chest and looked over at Eden and Jason. "You do?"

"Of course. Everyone does," Eden told him and gave him a reassuring smile.

"I still don't like it," Noah murmured and buried his face in Dean's shirt again.

Dean chuckled and finally put Noah back down on the floor and ruffled his hair with affection. "No one likes it." He went over to Castiel again, being careful not to get too close to his wing since he was standing to Castiel's right, and instead curled his tail around the angel's lower leg and smiled at him.

Eden smiled at them before exclaiming, "Oh! I forgot dinner." She hurried over to the kitchen to attend to the food she was cooking, and Lily followed her to help her out.

Castiel blinked. "You made dinner?"

"Yup," Eden answered from the kitchen. "Adrian and Jason are both no good at cooking meat or vegetables, Isaac's cooking generally sucks, and Noah hasn't learned it yet, so Lily and I took the task upon ourselves and began cooking." She stirred in the potatoes and checked if they were ready while Lily checked on the meat that was in the oven. The two of them had always enjoyed cooking and Eden had taught Lily a lot about it.

"Hey!" Isaac protested. "Not my fault that cooking has to be so difficult."

Adrian crossed his arms and glared over at his older sister in offense. "My cooking is that bad…" he grumbled.

"Better not argue with her…" Jason murmured next to him.

Dean laughed at them and Castiel chuckled next to him. The others went over to the kitchen to started setting the table, and Dean and Castiel lingered over by the big cabinet in the living room. Dean leaned in and pressed his nose against the angel's, humming softly. His right hand was on Castiel's left hip, rubbing circles into it absently. "Mmm, I've missed standing with you like this, enjoying you being right next to me. For some reason this just makes me in a much better mood."

Castiel smiled and closed his eyes, gently rubbing his nose against Dean's. "Me too…"

"You seem very tired," Dean noted.

Castiel opened his eyes and was met by the demon's green eyes, staring into his own. "I do feel very tired… I'm not particularly hungry but I will still eat the food that our daughters have prepared."

"Yeah, and I'm also dead tired. Guess we're both going to bed right after dinner, huh?"

Castiel hummed in agreement and closed his eyes for a bit, and the two of them enjoyed each other's presence for a few moments until Castiel spoke again.

"How are things at your work? Are there any improvements?"

Dean sighed and pulled back a little, and Castiel opened his eyes again to look at him.

"Well, the bank lent us money so now we can expand the business and improve our services. I still have to work more on customer relations, though… It's gonna be a long process, but Mike and I both agreed that we won't be working too much overtime anymore."

"That sounds good. It will do you good to relax some more and not be stressed all the time," Castiel spoke. "You can be quite annoying to be around when you are stressed…" He gave Dean a small glare which made the demon laugh.

"Yeah, I know, but so can you. Feel free to punch me in the face next time it gets too much," Dean smirked.

"That sounds tempting…"

"Hey," Dean protested with an amused grin and gave the angel's leg a little slap with his tail.

Castiel chucked softly, happy that things were finally getting better between them again. He knew that he and Dean would have eventually made up even if Castiel hadn't hurt his wing, but right now Dean's relief over Cas being okay after the accident and that things were going better at work made the demon more cheerful than he had been in the past few weeks.

When dinner was ready they all sat down at the table to eat. Isaac fed Molly beforehand to make sure she wouldn't send them her jealous puppy eyes while they ate. Castiel had some trouble getting comfortable in his chair but he managed to find a good position. They ate, and Eden told them about how life at college was and how her tests had gone. She had found new friends there and had done well on her tests and exams so far, and she had another three years left until she graduated and could call herself a veterinarian. Jason's education was shorter – four years in total – so he would be finished studying next year. He was planning to find an apartment nearby and get a job, and when Eden graduated they would move in together.

After dinner Dean and Castiel went upstairs to go to bed, both feeling very tired and exhausted from weeks of stress, fighting, and little sleep. Noah went to bed as well, but Isaac and Lily stayed up a while longer to watch TV while Adrian, Eden, and Jason went up to their rooms.

When they entered the bedroom and prepared to go to bed, Dean immediately began helping Castiel out of his shirt so that the angel wouldn't hurt himself. Thankfully the shirts for the winged beings were open below the wings, so all Dean needed to do was to unbutton the place where the shirt was knitted together and then lift it up over the wings and over Castiel's arms and head. He helped Cas get dressed in a t-shirt for bed, Castiel thanked him before carefully lying down on the bed and letting Dean help him get settled. Castiel was always lying with his left side to Dean, so his broken wing was facing the edge of the bed meaning Dean didn't have to worry too much about accidentally rolling over during the night and hurting him.

Dean slipped into bed soon afterwards and turned over on his side to face Castiel who was lying on his back. He traced his fingers along the feathers on the angel's left wing, watching them twitch slightly under his touch.

"How are you feeling?"

Castiel sighed softly and closed his eyes for a moment. "Better. I'm just very tired, and my wing aches…"

"Better not forget to take painkillers tomorrow." Dean continued playing with some of Castiel's feathers, enjoying their softness. He had missed touching them. "I'm glad we're okay again. It was pretty hard on the kids too…"

"I know," Castiel murmured and turned his head to the side to look at Dean. "But I'm still sorry about not telling you that I had called Balthazar to help fix the lamp and the cabinet…"

Dean snorted. "Don't worry about it. Although it did really piss me off," he muttered. "But I'm over it now. Now I just want to enjoy the weekend and relax, and make sure you aren't hurting yourself any further."

"You make it sound like I'm clumsy…" Castiel grumbled and glared a little at his mate.

Dean grinned. "But you are. My clumsy angel." He leaned in and pressed a kiss to Castiel's cheek before leaning back and settling himself closer to the angel.

The angel snorted at his comment but didn't protest. He sighed in content as he and Dean rested next to each other like this for the first time in weeks.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

They both woke up the next morning when they heard the phone ring. The phone rang downstairs as well as on the phone in their bedroom which was what had woken them up. Dean groaned, annoyed at being woken up, but the phone stopped ringing before he could even reach out towards it, likely because someone had picked it up downstairs. He yawned and stretched his body before looking over his shoulder to see what time it was. It was 10:13am. "Holy shit," he said, staring at the clock in disbelief.

Castiel stirred and let out an annoyed groan. "What is it?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

"We've slept for about 13 hours."

They had both woken up at around 4am to use the bathroom, but they had fallen asleep again right afterwards. Dean had had to help Cas get up from the bed so that the angel could use the bathroom.

The angel's eyes shot open and he turned his head to look at the clock on his own bedside table. For a moment he had forgotten about his broken wing, so when he tried lifting up his upper body to get a better look at the clock he let out a loud hiss when his wing protested at the movement.

"Whoa, take it easy, Cas," Dean said and immediately put a hand on his chest to push him back down, gently.

Castiel groaned. "I forgot about my wing for a second… And now it hurts."

"Silly angel," Dean said with affection. He lay his head down on his pillow again and stroked the angel's left wing for comfort. After a while he smirked and said, "It was nice with some sleep. Now I feel almost like I'm reborn."

Castiel turned his head and chuckled at him. "Me too."

The demon smiled at him before getting up from the bed. Castiel lay on the bed, taking in the sight of Dean's feathers moving as the demon got up and how they shifted into their half-sharp state again – the state that Dean preferred to have them in. The soft state was only for Castiel to see and touch, because he was the only one Dean felt comfortable showing his wings' more vulnerable and non-alpha side to. Castiel couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at that. He watched quietly as Dean moved over to get dressed, and his eyes lingered on his mate's well-equipped manhood as Dean took off his underwear to put on a new pair. Dean turned his back to Castiel and let the angel catch a glimpse of his ass while Dean fumbled to fit his tail through the tail hole and then pulled the underwear up, covering his ass, and then began putting on a pair of jeans.

Castiel was brought out his staring and thoughts when he felt himself beginning to slick up. He immediately shook off all thoughts about Dean and his attractiveness and clenched his hole to keep the slick and scent inside.

But Dean had already picked up on the scent. His nose knew the scent too well for it to go unnoticed. The demon turned his head and looked over at Castiel, who blushed and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Dean's lips broke into a smug smirk, and he stopped dressing himself and let his jeans stay open after he had just pulled them up to his hips. "Why Cas, are you enjoying the view?"

Castiel glared back at him even though his cheeks were bright pink now. "So what?" he muttered. "Am I not allowed to?"

"Oh, you can look at me all you want, baby," Dean grinned and approached the bed. He got up on the bed and crawled over until he was hovering over Castiel's body, and was careful not to touch the angel's injured wing. He gently pushed the blanket off the angel to see his body. "If your wing wasn't broken I'd be fucking you into the mattress right now," he spoke with a low, possessive growl in his voice.

Castiel shuddered at his words let out a small moan. "And I wouldn't object."

"Mmhm." Dean lowered himself down and placed a soft kiss on the skin of Castiel's stomach which was exposed between his underwear and t-shirt. Castiel didn't wear very masculine underwear – they were mostly neutral. But he did like to wear panties sometimes like Noah did which Dean certainly didn't have any objections with, although he didn't wear them very often.

Castiel moaned and his dick began hardening in his underwear, making Dean smirk against his stomach as he kissed him there. The demon pushed his t-shirt further up and began licking and kissing his bellybutton, making the angel curl his toes and try desperately not to flap his wings on the bed.

Suddenly the bedroom door was being opened, and they both looked up quickly to see Noah enter.

Noah had gotten half-way into the room with the home phone in his hand when he spotted his parents on the bed, and he completely stopped in his tracks. "Oh," he said, blinking at them.

"Noah," Castiel gasped in surprise and blinked back at him. He quickly pushed his t-shirt down to cover his exposed stomach again, and used his left wing to shield his body from Noah's view; he didn't want Noah to see the bulge in his underwear. Dean was still on all fours, hovering over Castiel, but he leaned back when Noah stared between them. The demon quickly fumbled to pull up his jeans and zip them up, and used his wings to cover some of his naked upper body from Noah's view.

"Jeez, Noah, you know you're not supposed to come in without knocking," Dean chided and gave the boy a firm and authoritative stare.

Noah swallowed and nodded quietly. "I forgot…" He looked between them with a calculating face. "What were you doing?" he asked and titled his head curiously at them.

"Adult stuff. Nothing you need to know about for another twenty years or so."

"Dean," Castiel scowled before looking over at Noah again. "What is it, sweetie?"

"Oh!" Noah said, having forgotten why he came in. He went over to Dean since he was closest and handed him the phone. "Uncle Gabe is on the phone…"

"Oh. Thanks," Dean said, sitting back on his knees on the bed. He took the phone from Noah's hand and put it up his ear. "Hello?"

"Dude," came Gabriel's voice. "Were you and Cassie doing the nasty when Noah came into the room with the phone?" There was disgust as well as amusement in his voice.

"No, but getting pretty close to it," Dean muttered back. "What is it?" he asked, getting straight to the point.

"Ew. Well, I was just wondering if I can drop by for a little visit today. Been a while, after all. I'm gonna bring the whole family with me so I wanted to make sure that you have time for us," Gabriel replied. There was a munching sound coming from the phone, and Dean guessed that Gabriel was eating candy once again.

"Uh." Dean looked down at Castiel who had pulled some of the blanket half on top of himself again since he felt a little cold. Castiel could hear what Gabriel said on the phone, and he gave Dean a small nod to tell him that he was okay with his brother dropping by. Dean turned his attention back to the phone and said, "Yeah, sure, we don't mind."

"Cool, see ya later then. And don't ruin poor Noah's eyes before he's even grown up yet," Gabriel said before hanging up.

"Jeez," Dean grumbled and hung up. He looked over at Noah who was still in the room and handed the phone back to him. "Next time, knock on the door and wait for us to tell you to enter, okay?"

"Okay, daddy," Noah said and stared up at Dean guiltily. "It wasn't on purpose…"

Dean sighed. "I know."

Noah turned on his heels and quickly left the room again, closing the door behind him.

Dean sighed and looked down at Castiel again. "Guess the mood got ruined… Maybe that's best. I don't want to hurt your wing…"

"You won't, if you're careful enough…"

Dean smirked and leaned over him again. He rested his hand above Castiel's wing on the bed to support himself and lowered himself down to kiss his mate. Their kiss was gentle, loving, but also hungry. The bond flared inside of them, craving the physical contact it had been so long without, and both of them began to harden again. Dean pulled away from Castiel's lips and stared into the angel's eyes with lust-blown pupils. "I'm locking the door this time." He quickly got up from the bed and headed over to lock the door. They both knew the children would be waiting for them to come down since Noah knew they were awake, so they had to hurry a bit if they didn't want the older children to get an idea about what they had been doing.

Dean hastily took off his jeans and boxers before climbing into bed and helped Castiel out his underwear. He decided to let the angel keep the t-shirt on since it was too much trouble to help him out of it at the moment with his wing being broken and all. Once Dean had tossed the angel's underwear to the floor, he sat back and suddenly wondered how best to do this without hurting Cas. He thought it was best not to have intercourse since the force of his body thrusting into Cas would hurt the angel's wing, so instead he decided to do something else.

Dean ran his hands up Castiel's inner thighs, feeling the soft, warm skin, and then moved them over the angel's hipbones, his abdomen, and then back to his thighs. Castiel purred softly at the contact, and Dean smirked a little before prying Castiel's legs further apart and began teasing his fingers over his mate's entrance. Castiel was already wet and twitching, and the angel wriggled his hips a little in an impatient gesture before Dean finally pushed a finger inside. The angel threw his head back a little and moaned, and Dean pressed another finger into him. The angel was clenching tightly around his fingers as if not wanting him to pull them out, and Dean smirked before lowering himself down and pressed his lips against Castiel's member.

"Dean," Castiel gasped when the demon began licking his dick and added a third finger inside him. He grasped the sheets with his hands and tried so hard not to move his wings in reaction to the pleasure he was feeling.

Dean continued his ministrations and licked at the tip of Castiel's dick which was leaking clear fluid now. He finally took it into his mouth and hummed in approval when he was met by the delicious taste of his mate.

"Ah!" Castiel exclaimed and winced when his wings moved a little.

Dean pulled off the angel's dick. "Careful," he told him with a firm stare before taking him into his mouth again, licking, sucking, and swirling his tongue over the hard flesh. He purred around it, sending vibrations through Castiel's dick which made the angel shudder and writhe needily. After a few moments he pulled back, ignoring Cas' small whine when he pulled his fingers out also. He smirked at the angel who gave him a questioning frown in response before bringing his tail around and pressed it against Castiel's entrance, pushing the spiked tip of the tail in.

"Dean!" Castiel gasped when the demon thrust the tail into him. His body arched but Dean quickly put a hand on his chest to hold him down, making sure he wouldn't hurt himself. Castiel mewled loudly when the tail twisted inside him and the spike rolled against his cervix and prostate.

Dean grinned smugly. "Knew you'd like that."

Castiel panted and glanced up at Dean. He looked from the demon's face and down to his rock hard cock which looked red and painful between his legs. He gestured for Dean to move closer, which the demon did, before reaching out his hand and wrapped it around Dean's cock, giving it a few slow strokes before increasing the speed.

"Fuck," Dean cursed and groaned in approval. "Almost forgot how skilled your hands are."

"I'm an artist, Dean; I have very skilled hands."

Dean just chuckled at the smugness in the angel's voice before turning his attention back to bringing Castiel to climax with his tail. The noises Cas was making were downright dirty, and god how Dean had missed hearing those helpless, needy sounds escape from his mate's mouth when he was pleasured. Dean wasn't moving his tail as fast as he usually did, fearing it would make Cas flap his wings in response, but the angel didn't seem to mind the slower pace. The demon made sure to rub his muscled tail tip against his mate's sweet spots with every thrust to bring him to climax. It didn't take long since the angel was already close, and when he reached down and began stroking the angel's smaller member Castiel cried out in pleasure and came all over Dean's hand and his own stomach.

"Fuck," Dean groaned at the sight. Castiel's hand had slowed down its movements on Dean's dick, but as soon as the angel had recovered from the climax he began stroking him in earnest again. Their eyes met as Castiel looked up him, and the devotion and love that Dean saw in the angel's eyes made his heart skip a beat. It didn't take long before Dean came; he had been too long without sex, and Cas knew exactly how to please him with his hands. Dean's breathing increased and he growled out his orgasm when it finally hit, and spilled his seed all over the angel's hand and stomach.

Dean quickly leaned down and supported himself with his hands on the bed as he felt his body go limp. His wings were slightly spread behind his back, and he felt Cas rub his arm to help him calm down again. Dean looked down at the angel, meeting his eyes, and they both gave each other a small smile before Dean leaned back and pulled his tail of Cas. He smiled when the angel made a small, displeased noise, and lazily moved his hand down to rub the come on Castiel's stomach into the angel's skin. Castiel was covered in a lot of come, both his own and Dean's, and the angel made a small grimace when he finally seemed to notice it.

"I think you need a shower," Dean grinned. He got up from the bed to get a towel from the drawers before coming back over to Castiel and started cleaning most of the come off.

"That's not funny, Dean," the angel grumbled and glared at him. "Showering with a broken wing cannot be very easy…"

Dean chuckled. "I'll help you."

The angel sighed and let Dean help him up when the demon had finished wiping the come off. Luckily Castiel had managed to control his wings during their act so his right wing wasn't hurting so badly. Once he was on his feet, Dean pulled him into a warm hug. Castiel sighed contently and rested his head against the demon's chest and wrapped his arms around him, both of them still unclothed save for Castiel's shirt.

"It's frustrating that I can't fuck you properly," Dean mumbled against Castiel's hair.

"Mm, yes, it is…"

They stood there for a few moments before Dean slowly pulled back. "C'mon, let's get you washed clean."

Castiel rolled his eyes a bit when Dean smirked, and they wrapped some clothing around themselves before quickly heading into the upstairs bathroom to get cleaned up.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Meanwhile, Noah had just come downstairs again after having handed the phone to Dean to pick up Gabriel's call.

The twins, Adrian, Eden, and Jason were playing a board game at the couch table, and Isaac cheered loudly when he won. "Ha! I'm the best! And you all suck!" he grinned. Molly lay under the couch table but she didn't even flinch at Isaac's loud exclamation; she was used to him being noisy.

"Shut up," Adrian grumbled.

Lily rolled her eyes. "I hate when Isaac wins…" Isaac just grinned and stuck out his tongue at her.

Eden looked up when Noah entered the room again with a thoughtful expression on his face. "Hey Noah," she smiled. "What did Uncle Gabe want?"

"He wants to come over with Katie and the others," Noah replied and put the phone down on the couch table.

"Were dad and papa awake?" Lily asked curiously since none of them had seen or heard their parents all day.

"Uhhuh," Noah said. "But when I came into the room papa was lying on the bed and daddy was… kissing his stomach. And daddy's pants were open…"

Jason choked on his glass of milk and coughed like mad, and the others all got mortified expressions on their faces. Noah stared between them in confusion.

"Noah, you know not to walk into dad and papa's bedroom like that," Eden groaned, blushing.

"I know, and daddy got kinda mad… But they hadn't locked the door like they do sometimes."

"Oh, that's nasty, I don't wanna think about it," Isaac groaned in disgust. Lily agreed but she couldn't help but giggle about the situation.

"At least they aren't fighting anymore…" Adrian muttered.

"Do all mates kiss each other's stomachs?" Noah asked and titled his head.

"And lots of other things!" Isaac blurted. Lily slapped his arm before he could elaborate – Noah was still too young to know such things.

Eden grimaced. "Yeah, and other things…"

"It's normal for mates to touch each other in many ways, Noah, you don't need to think so hard about it," Adrian told him. He looked a little disgusted at the conversation but was not as bothered by it as the others were. "And never enter someone's bedroom without knocking, and always wait until they tell you to go in."

"Or you might go blind! Especially if you go into Eden's room while Jason is over," Isaac blurted and smirked over at Eden whose face went bright red.

"Would you shut up!" Eden growled and threw one of the couch pillows in his face. Isaac just continued laughing and couldn't stop again, and he quickly ran off when Eden let out another growl and got up from the couch to physically make him shut up.

"Hey," Adrian scowled when Eden almost hit him with her wing as she scrambled to get past him while heading for Isaac, and Jason laughed as his girlfriend began chasing Isaac around the house who was still cracking up.

Molly didn't understand what was going on. She just licked her mouth and stared up at Noah who was giggling at his older siblings.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Dean and Castiel came downstairs as soon as they were finished in the shower. They had been quick since Gabriel usually showed up at their place at around noon when he decided to come over. They both frowned when the kids gave them a weird glance when they came down and how Lily started giggling all of sudden, but they shrugged it off.

Gabriel arrived at 12:30pm along with Katie, Mark, Heidi, and also Lokiana who was visiting Gabriel that weekend.

Gabriel hadn't heard about Castiel's accident yet, and he gasped loudly when he entered the living room and saw his little brother. Dean had been the one to answer the door, and he was still trying to get his breath back after Gabriel's rib-breaking hug.

"Oh my god, what happened to my little Cassie?!" Gabriel exclaimed and rushed over to Castiel, checking him for further injuries. Katie eyes widened in worry when she saw Castiel's bandaged wing, and their kids seemed a little worried as well.

"Gabriel," Castiel mumbled when his older brother started looking him over to injuries. "You do not need to exaggerate; my wing is the only thing that's injured."

The children all snickered in the background. They liked to see Gabriel get on their parents' nerves when he turned into mother hen-mode like this.

"I'm never exaggerating when it comes to my baby brother!" Gabriel told him. "Jesus, Cassie, what happened? Did Dean beat you up?"

"Hey!" Dean protested and growled lightly. "You know I wouldn't do that."

Gabriel laughed. "I know, I just like to see your temper rise," he smirked before turning to look at Castiel again.

"It was just an accident at work. I fell off the stepladder and hit the floor," Castiel explained.

"Oh boy. Cassie and high places… never a good match."

"Why do you say that?" Katie asked him with a confused frown. Heidi was standing next to her, clinging to her side shyly, but she quickly became more outgoing when Noah came over to her together with Molly. The two of them got along well.

"'Cause Cassie broke his arm when he was five after falling down from the tree house in our backyard," Gabriel explained.

"He did what?" Dean exclaimed. He hadn't heard about that before, and he immediately looked over at Castiel for confirmation.

Castiel shifted uneasily. "That was kind of your fault…" he mumbled and glared at Gabriel.

"My fault?!" Gabriel exclaimed in protest. "No way!"

"What happened?" Eden asked curiously and looked between them. Dean seemed just as eager to know.

"Well, we had just come home from a family trip to the circus, and me and Cas began playing circus artists with each other," Gabriel explained and pointed at Castiel. "And then little Cassie here decided he wanted to play a circus princess, since the one we had seen at the circus was very pretty and she flew so elegantly through the room on her wings. So Cas got up in the treehouse, spread out his little wings – which only reached as far as to his little butt and were not big enough for flying – and then he tried to take off. Except he got a one-way express ticket straight for the ground below…" Gabriel explained and scowled over at his brother.

"Ow," Lily cringed, and the others did as well.

"Jeez, Cas…" Dean cringed and looked at Castiel who was blushing in embarrassment over Gabriel telling stories from their childhood. "That's actually kinda cute though… you playing a circus princess," he chuckled. Castiel blushed and looked even more embarrassed.

"Oh yeah, Cassie was very much in touch with his feminine side back then," Gabriel smirked. "He liked dolls, romantic cartoons, wearing nightgowns, and he wore panties right up to high school."

"Gabriel!" Castiel chastised, flushing furiously now and glared daggers at Gabriel. He glared at Dean too when his mate laughed at him.

"Just like Noah!" Isaac grinned and glanced over at Noah who was standing over by Katie and Heidi near the door to the entrance hall.

"Yeah, most submissives are incredibly girly when they're little," Gabriel chuckled gave Castiel a fond but teasing smirk.

"And what were you doing while your little brother stood in that tree house, about to jump, huh?" Katie asked and raised an eyebrow at Gabriel.

"Me? I first realized that Cassie's idea was bad after he had fallen down… And I got grounded for three weeks for not doing anything to stop it. But I was only 9! I was too busy having fun to realize the danger!"

Katie rolled her eyes at him and Gabriel tried to look as innocent as possible to make her stop staring at him with that look of disapproval. She didn't fall that easily for it though, and her eyebrow only rose further when he gave her that kicked puppy look.

"Dad, that look doesn't work on Katie…" Loki pointed out. Mark laughed next to her.

Gabriel snorted. "Yeah, she's like a freaking mirror – everything ricochets right off her." He turned around, giving up trying to make Katie forgive him. Katie just chuckled and smirked in triumph.

Adrian snickered behind them. "Finally someone who's got Uncle Gabe by the balls."

The others started laughing, and Gabriel turned around with a loud 'Hey!' and glared at them. He glared especially hard at Isaac who was usually always on Gabriel's side but now the boy was laughing along with the others.

Dean laughed before going over to Castiel. The angel was starting to look a little uncomfortable and his face was slightly scrunched up in pain. The demon immediately led him over to the kitchen and got him some painkillers and a glass of water, and rubbed Castiel's back soothingly while the angel swallowed them.

Eden looked over at them from where she was standing with the others in the living room, and she smiled when she saw how loving Dean was with Castiel now. She had missed seeing that. "I'm glad they aren't fighting anymore," she smiled.

"Yeah. You've been pretty upset by it lately," Jason murmured into her ear as he stood behind her and placed his hands on her stomach. Eden smiled and leaned back into him. Her wings were folded behind her and were squeezed between them as Jason hugged her from behind, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. She sighed contently and brushed her tail against his leg.

"I'm also glad they aren't fighting," Noah spoke in a small voice.

Gabriel frowned at them. "They've been fighting?"

"Yeah, for weeks," Adrian told him. "Dad's been edgy since grandpa got the heart attack, and then there were a lot of things happening at work and he had to work overtime until 8-10pm at night. He was really irritated when he came home, and sometimes he and papa got into a fight because both of them were too easily annoyed by each other." He kept his voice down a little so that Dean and Castiel wouldn't hear him so easily.

"Huh, really." Gabriel glanced over at Dean and Castiel, and watched as Dean was being extra affectionate with the submissive angel.

"Yeah, it was pretty bad," Isaac said. "Especially right before papa hurt his wing…"

"Gabriel and I get into fights too. It's very normal," Katie assured them and offered Noah a comforting smile when he stared around at them with a sad expression.

Dean and Castiel came back over to them again, and Gabriel stared between them. "So now that the two of you have made up after your fighting, let's see how well Dean can keep it in his pants until Cassie's wing has healed. From what I heard this morning when Noah handed you the phone, it sounds like you're already having trouble keeping your hands to yourself," he muttered and glared at Dean.

Both Dean and Castiel's faces went bright red at Gabriel's words, and the kids both snickered and made disgusted faces.

"Hey, I wasn't hurting him," Dean growled and gave Gabriel an annoyed glare in return.

Gabriel was about to retort something when Katie rolled her eyes and put a firm hand on his shoulder. "Cut it out already; it's their business, not yours. And don't bring up such personal subjects around the children – or other people for that matter." She gave him a firm glare when Gabriel turned his head to protest at her.

The brown-winged angel closed his mouth again, sighing in defeat. "Fine, I'll shut up," he mumbled.

Castiel was relieved that Gabriel let the subject drop, and Eden and the others giggled at how Katie could easily make Gabriel look like an obedient puppy.

"Women are scary…" Isaac muttered.

Lily turned her head and gave him a smug smile. "I hope your future mate can keep you under control like that as well."

"Shut up; I'm not gonna have a mate, ever. I don't need someone to tell me what to do," Isaac muttered back.

"We'll see about that," Lily grinned.

They spent the day talking and chatting, and talked about the things that had happened in their lives lately, although mostly avoiding the topic about Dean and Castiel's fight. Gabriel was surprised to hear that Castiel had made contact with Balthazar again and he had poked fun at Dean, saying he had competition now. Dean responded by growling and wrapping a possessive arm around Castiel, which made the submissive angel blush and everyone else laugh. Of course Gabriel knew that his brother had no such interest in Balthazar now that he was with Dean.

The children all got along well, and Castiel smiled at how his children enjoyed the company of Gabriel and his family. Gabriel was still Isaac's big idol, and the two of them managed to pull a prank on both Jason and Adrian. Noah spent most of the day playing with Heidi and Molly, and Heidi was thrilled that Noah had some dolls they could play with, even though Isaac poked fun at it. Loki and Mark were about the same age as Lily and Isaac, so they naturally got along well and shared stories from school.

Castiel winced every time he moved his body in a wrong way, causing his broken wing to hurt, and laughing also made it hurt slightly sometimes. Dean, however, was being good at offering him comfort and making sure he took painkillers. It was the first time for a few weeks that Dean was finally home during the weekend instead of working, and Castiel was glad that his mate managed to shake most the worries about his work out of his head and instead be present with their family, even though he could sense through their bond that it still bothered the demon in the back of his mind.

The mood in the house was much better now and the children smiled more than they had in the past few weeks.

Now they just had to wait for Castiel's wing to heal so that he and Dean could go back to their usual sex life, and for things to go better at Dean's work so that he wouldn't be stressed anymore.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Author's notes: Now they finally made up again :) In a few weeks Castiel's wing should be healed enough for them to have sex again. The ending of his chapter kind of sucks because I just couldn't make it sound right, sorry about that.

And the Mx. thing was something I looked up so it should be a real honorific.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, please review :)
