June 2034 (Castiel is 44 (almost 45), Dean is 46, Eden is 20 (almost 21), Adrian is 17, the twins are 13, Noah is 8, Jason is 21 years old).
Noah stayed the night at the hospital for observation before being released again the following day. He was happy to go home even though the nurse, Stella, had been really nice to him every day, but home was always best. Noah still had to be careful with eating and couldn't eat anything too solid just yet, so he mostly ate mashed food, yogurt, ice cream and popsicles, and other soft/liquid foods.
They brought Noah home Saturday afternoon, and as soon as they got in the door Molly barked and ran over to greet Noah, wagging her tail happily. She jumped up to lick at his face, making him giggle and shy away from her wet tongue. "Molly," Noah said, gently pushing her back. "Missed you too." He smiled and rubbed her behind the ears.
Castiel smiled and put down the bags with Noah's stuff inside which they had brought to the hospital – clothes, comics, toys, and his toothbrush.
"Haven't seen Molly that happy for a while," Dean smiled, closing the front door as soon as everyone was inside. Eden and Jason had come as well to be with Noah after his surgery. Jason had planned on going home to his own parents that weekend but he had changed his plans.
"What's for dinner?" Isaac blurted almost as soon as they were inside, and glanced over at Castiel in anticipation.
Lily shoved him. "Do you only have food on your mind?" she chastised and scowled at him in disapproval.
"What? I'm hungry!"
Castiel rolled his eyes fondly, taking off his shoes together with Noah. "I'm thinking of making pasta tonight, but since I have the feeling that everyone is hungry now I think I will prepare us some bread to eat."
"Should I help you with it?" Lily asked, smiling.
"That would be nice, thank you," Castiel smiled. He and Lily went into the kitchen to make lunch for everyone, and the others went into the living room. Noah settled on the couch with Molly sitting on the floor next to him since the dog wasn't allowed on the couch, and Isaac, Eden, and Jason joined.
Adrian flexed his shoulders and wings while standing in the living room, observing Cas and Lily preparing lunch. He stretched and yawned, and barely noticed Dean before his father spoke.
"You look like someone who ran fifty times around the football pitch at school," Dean said, smirking at Adrian.
"Nah, I only jogged around the neighborhood for an hour this morning," Adrian replied and finished stretching.
Dean snorted. "Not sure if the word 'only' is suited for that sentence." Adrian chuckled next to him and Dean switched the topic, saying, "So, did you start thinking of college yet? You only have another year left of high school."
"I'm not sure yet what I want to study, to be honest…" Adrian murmured. "I was thinking military school could be pretty cool to attend… But either way I'm getting way too fed up with schools and teachers, so I may just take a year off and find a job until I'm ready." He shrugged, causing his wings to move behind his back as well. He mostly kept his feathers in their half-sharp state now since Noah was old enough to know not to touch them anymore since he could risk getting cut.
"Military school?" Eden said from the couch, poking her head up to look over at them.
"Yes, military school," Adrian repeated, rolling his eyes. "Is that so wrong?"
"No… I'm just surprised," Eden spoke, leaning back against the couch again and watched as Noah played with one of his toys in his lap. Isaac was too busy laughing at something on TV to pay much attention to them, although he did hear what they were talking about.
Jason chuckled from where he was sitting next to Eden with his arm slung around her shoulders as they sat back against the couch. "I'm not that surprised; Adrian's told me about that before."
"Well, my dad was also in the military when he was young, so I guess that runs in the family," Dean said, smirking at Adrian. "You know what job position you'd like?"
"Jeez, dad, don't stress me out – I haven't thought that far yet, and there is still plenty of time to think," Adrian muttered, twitching slightly.
Dean laughed and gave Adrian a manly pat on the shoulder. "Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to start thinking about it now." The demon went over to the kitchen to help Castiel and Lily with setting the table for lunch.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The next morning Dean woke up at 8:45am when he heard Molly bark out in the hallway upstairs, probably because Noah had woken up and she was glad to see him. The demon grunted and rolled over on his side, snuggling up behind Castiel who had already fallen asleep again. The angel was lying on his side with his back to Dean, so Dean could easily slip under Cas' blanket and spoon up behind him. Castiel's left wing rested down along the angel's body and he was lying on top of the right one. Dean smiled and moved so close to his mate that his crotch bumped against the angel's ass, but both of them were wearing underwear so there was no skin contact.
They had gone to bed at around midnight last night after having stayed up late with the twins, Adrian, Eden and Jason. Noah had gone to bed at around 9pm, and afterwards the rest of them had talked, played a game together, and watched a movie. Both Dean and Cas had been too tired to have sex before bed, which meant that they hadn't been sexually active for almost a week now since one of them had stayed at the hospital every night to be with Noah.
Dean rested his face near Castiel's neck, and closed his eyes while breathing in the scent of his mate. Castiel smelled like apple and honey, and the demon hummed in approval and nuzzled his nose into some of the white feathers. Dean wrapped his arm around Cas, letting it rest on top of the angel's wing while his hand was on the angel's stomach. Castiel stirred slightly, but he fell asleep again once his brain realized it was just Dean who was lying behind him. Dean smirked with mischief before moving his hand further down, sliding his hand under the blanket and gently grabbed the waistband in the back of Cas' underwear. He tentatively slid the underwear down so that Cas' ass was exposed and the clothing was hanging on his thighs. Castiel made a small noise in his sleep, shifted slightly, and continued sleeping, and Dean caressed the angel's round buttock for a few seconds before moving his hand further back and down to the cleft between his buttocks. He pushed a few of the white feathers to the side and quickly found his mate's entrance with his fingers. He circled it for a few seconds before beginning to press against it, seeking entry.
Castiel gasped, suddenly waking up. He flinched a bit when the tip of Dean's finger breached his hole, and he whipped his head to the side to look back at Dean.
"Dean," Castiel groaned, sounding slightly annoyed.
Dean grinned impishly and placed a small kiss on the back of Cas' shoulder. "Finally waking up, huh? Took you long enough."
Castiel wriggled his hips slightly, groaning when Dean pushed his finger all the way into him. "I was having a nice dream. But as usual it was killed by your never-dying libido," he grumbled, lying his head down on the pillow again.
Dean laughed against the angel's shoulder and circled his other fingers around Cas' hole as if to apologize. "I can't help it; it's been days since last time we had sex, and I'm a horny person."
"Believe me, Dean; I did notice that," Castiel said, dryly, and moaned when Dean's finger moved inside of him.
"Judging from how fast you're becoming wet, I think you're horny too," Dean smirked and added a second finger into the slickening hole.
Castiel just grunted in response and slowly pushed his hips back onto Dean's fingers, urging him to add more. Dean complied and added a third finger, snuggling his body into Cas and kissing him on the back of his neck and shoulder while preparing him. He liked to take his time, hearing Cas moan and gasp softly while his fingers moved around inside the angel's most intimate place. He knew exactly when Cas had reached the limit of his patience because he always made the same pitiful whine when he couldn't wait anymore for Dean to be inside him.
The demon chuckled when he heard that very whine escape from the back of Castiel's throat, and he pulled out his fingers and struggled to get out of his own underwear. He pulled Cas' underwear all the way off too while he was at it, leaving them naked from the waist down, before settling himself on his side behind Cas again and pulling the blanket back up over their hips. He finally pushed into him, slow and sensually, and both of them moaned in satisfaction as Dean's dick forced its way into the angel, splitting him open.
Castiel gasped when Dean's cock brushed his sweet spots, and he reached his hand behind himself and grabbed onto Dean's hip's under the blanket, digging his fingers into the skin. "Dean," he moaned, clenching his eyes shot in pleasure.
"Fuck, you're so tight, Cas," Dean groaned against the back of Castiel's neck and wrapped his arms around him. He moved into his mate in slow thrusts, grinding their bodies together and savoring every sensation. "And so warm," he purred.
Castiel whimpered and pulled at Dean's hip, making the demon push himself further into him. His eyes suddenly shot open. "W-what about the door?"
"It isn't locked, but the blanket is covering us from the waist down. The kids won't be able to see anything naughty if they walk in," Dean explained, still thrusting and grinding slowly against the angel.
Castiel nodded and was pleased enough with that answer. He whimpered softly when Dean's chest rubbed against his oil glands, and he dug his fingers even harder into Dean's hip. "Dean. Faster," he ordered.
Dean just smirked and adjusted his hips a little before speeding up, nailing those sweet spots inside Cas with every thrust now.
"Dean!" Castiel cried out, quaking in Dean's arms.
Dean buried his face in the back of Castiel's shoulder, panting heavily as he pounded into Cas from behind. His hand on the angel's stomach caressed the soft skin there, feeling the angel's muscles flex under the assault of pleasure, and he swore he could almost feel how Castiel's orgasm was pooling in his abdomen now.
"Dean, Dean, Dean!" Castiel chanted, lost in ecstasy. He trembled and writhed on the bed, and his eyes shot open when he came, coming untouched and spurting his release down on the sheets he was lying on. Dean's name was on his lips as he came, and he whimpered when Dean continued pounding into him after he had come, until he finally felt Dean come apart behind him. Dean's arm tightened around him and his body trembled and stilled as he came, spilling himself deep inside the angel.
They panted as they came down from their highs, and Dean's breath came out in heavy puffs against Castiel's shoulder, making the angel shudder slightly.
There was a careful knocking on the door, and both of them froze on the bed.
"Yeah?" Dean called, twisting his upper body around to look over his shoulder in the direction of the door. He couldn't see the door from the bed because there was a small hall between the bedroom itself and the door.
Castiel wriggled, too much aware of Dean who was still inside him, but he didn't dare to move too much in case the blanket should move further down their barely covered bodies, and because he didn't want the person by the door to suspect anything when they entered. If they didn't move it would just look like they were snuggling under the covers.
They weren't surprised to see Noah enter the room, although they were mildly confused to see him enter the room with a hand in front of his eyes. "Um, papa? I'm hungry. Can you help me with food? Not sure what I can eat and not eat…" He was speaking in a lowered voice because his throat was still sore from surgery. He slowly lowered his hand, peeking over at them, and moved his hand away when he saw there was nothing in the room which could blind him. Isaac had once warned him that he could go blind if he entered someone's bedroom, so he was being careful.
Molly suddenly came running in, barking softly, and stood by Noah's side while wagging her tail.
"Molly, out!" Dean barked at the dog, pointing towards the door and growling softly. The dog wasn't allowed in the bedroom, and Molly whined submissively before padding out of the room again.
"Sure, I will be right down. Go downstairs and wait," Castiel spoke, twisting his head around to see Noah.
Noah nodded before leaving again, closing the door behind him.
Castiel sighed deeply and fell back against the bed, and Dean did the same.
"Dean. Get out of me," the angel murmured.
Dean laughed and finally pulled out, sitting up on the bed to get ready to get up. "Why? You desperately wanted me in you just a few minutes ago."
Castiel groaned and made a face when Dean's come trickled out of him now. He sat up and accepted the towel that Dean handed to him which the demon had just picked up from the floor. He reached down and began cleaning himself and the sheets as well as he could. "Yes, but now I need to make something for Noah to eat."
"Mmm." Dean sat up on his knees next to Cas and leaned forward to kiss and lick at the angel's jaw. "I would have preferred more cuddling…"
Castiel chuckled softly. "That's very non-alpha of you to say," he teased.
"Hey, alphas like to cuddle; we just don't like admitting it," Dean said, grinning. His tail curled and uncurled behind him on the bed, and his dark red wings were folded behind his back, as were Castiel's.
"You just did," Castiel pointed out with a slight smirk, raising his head to look into Dean's eyes. He had just finished cleaning himself and put the dirty towel in his lap while staring at Dean.
"Well, you're the only one that's ever gonna hear me admit that," Dean smiled, kissing him quickly on the lips before getting up from the bed. Castiel smiled and followed, and they quickly got dressed before heading downstairs together.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Eden and Jason first showed themselves downstairs past noon, and Isaac snickered at them when they came down. Eden glared daggers at her brother and blushed, since she knew very well what he was assuming what she and Jason had been doing. Well, they had had sex – several times – but they had also watched movies until 2:30am, so it wasn't the only reason they had gotten out of bed so late.
They spent most of the day together, although Adrian, Eden and Jason went upstairs sometimes to be alone for a bit, and Isaac was sitting with his computer by the couch table, struggling to finish his essay for school.
At 4pm Castiel slowly started preparing dinner, while Dean and Adrian had just finished something in the garage together.
Adrian grimaced slightly when he and Dean entered the living room and saw Eden and Jason sitting on the couch together, and Eden giggling as Jason whispered something in her ear. Lily and Noah were watching TV together on the beanbags with Molly lying in front of their feet, and Isaac was still working on his essay.
"Jeez, get a room, would you?" Adrian remarked.
Eden looked over at him. "We aren't doing anything! Jason just told me something, funny, that's all."
"Uhhuh," Adrian said, unconvinced. "And you're practically sitting on his lap."
Jason smirked over at him. "You can sit here if you're jealous," he said, patting his thighs.
Adrian's face turned into a disgusted grimace. "Fuck no!"
The others laughed at it, and Jason said, "Good, 'cause I don't think I want you to either."
"Ew. Maybe you two should get a room?" Isaac remarked, glaring between Jason and Adrian. He was sitting on the part of the couch where his back was facing the kitchen, and Eden and Jason were sitting with their backs facing the wall.
Dean laughed. "Sounds like a good idea."
Eden giggled as Jason and Adrian seemed less impressed by that idea, and she absently leaned into Jason's side.
Noah suddenly jumped up from his beanbag and got up on the couch, crawling over to sit on Eden's leg with some of his butt seated on Jason's leg as well. He looked up at his sister, saying, "Eden? When are you and Jason gonna have babies?"
Eden and Jason's faces turned bright red, and Adrian and Isaac both cracked up laughing. Lily was snickering like mad from where she was sitting on her beanbag in front of TV and twisting around to look at them, and Castiel looked over at them from the kitchen with a confused frown.
"What happened? What's so funny?" Castiel asked, approaching the couch.
Dean looked like he didn't know whether he should laugh or be disturbed by Noah's comment.
"Noah asked Eden when she and Jason are gonna have babies," Isaac snickered, trying not to burst out laughing again. He had temporarily abandoned his essay on his laptop to pay attention to everyone after the comment Noah had made.
Noah glanced between all of them, not understanding why they thought it was so funny or why Eden and Jason suddenly twitched uncomfortably and their faces were all red.
"Oh," Castiel said and couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"Jeez, Noah…" Eden murmured, flushing with embarrassment.
"Why is that bad?" Noah asked, frowning at her. "Having babies means you love each other, no?"
"It does, but it isn't something you ask people about," Eden murmured and averted everyone's eyes. She glanced at Jason who seemed equally embarrassed about the conversation.
"Why not?"
Lily giggled and said, "Because it's really embarrassing to be asked about that. I think you should save your voice for something less embarrassing, Noah."
It still hurt a bit when Noah spoke so he hadn't talked as much as usual since his surgery two days ago. At Lily's words Noah just continued being confused but didn't say anything, and he slowly jumped down from Eden's lap to sit down with Lily again to watch TV. Molly was still lying in front of the TV, but she was half asleep.
Castiel turned his head to look at Dean who still seemed mildly disturbed by the idea of Eden and Jason having kids, and the angel rolled his eyes at him. "Help me with dinner, please? Instead of staring like that."
Dean snapped out of it and looked at his mate. "Uh, sure." They went over to the kitchen, and Adrian went upstairs for a bit, as did Eden and Jason.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
An hour later Isaac sat back and stretched his arms into the air. "Fuck, yes! I'm done with this shit!" he grinned.
"Isaac – language," Castiel scolded him from the kitchen. He and Dean were sitting by the dining table while dinner was cooking and were looking through some of their finances and hospital bills. John had already transferred money to them for Noah's surgery, and they were just making sure that everything was in order.
"Sorry," Isaac said, but was still grinning proudly at himself for having finished the essay at last. "I'm gonna go take a bath now. Don't touch my essay!" he growled, staring over at Lily and Noah who were still watching TV.
"Yeah, yeah, just go already," Lily replied, rolling her eyes. "And don't sing in the bath!"
"You're just jealous of my voice!" Isaac called back from the stairs. Lily snorted.
After Isaac had disappeared up the stairs to go take a bath Noah and Lily continued watching TV for a while. Lily was texting one of her friends on her phone every now and then, and Noah played with some of his toys when commercials rolled on the screen. Adrian, Eden, and Jason came downstairs after a few minutes, and Eden went over to Dean and Castiel to help looking at all the papers they had spread across the table. Adrian and Jason stood near the kitchen, chatting and getting along well.
When the TV show ended and another show came on that Noah didn't like so much, he sighed and got up from his beanbag. He glanced at Lily, saying, "Do you think Isaac will let me play on his computer until he comes back?"
Lily was sending a text message and glanced up at Noah briefly. "Sure, as long as you don't touch his essay."
Noah seemed pleased with that answer and jumped over to the kitchen first to get something to drink. Molly followed him curiously. He took out the cold juice from the fridge and Jason helped him get a glass from one of the upper cupboards. Then he padded over to the living room again and sat down by Isaac's laptop, settling himself with crossed legs on the couch and reached forward to use the computer. He liked playing some of the children games that the laptops had, and Isaac's laptop was fairly new so it had different games than Dean's, Adrian's, and Lily's. Molly lay down under the table, relaxing and listening absently to the others talking.
After a while Noah heard someone on the stairs and knew that Isaac was coming down to use his laptop again. Not wanting to occupy Isaac's laptop when his brother needed it himself, Noah pulled back to get up, but his arm accidentally bumped into his glass of juice. He gasped as the glass tipped over, spilling juice all over the laptop's keyboard, and he watched wide-eyed as it sank down between the keyboard buttons and into the hard drive beneath.
That was the very moment when Isaac returned the room, and he gasped in horror when he saw what Noah had just done.
"Oh. My. God! Why did you do that?!" Isaac bellowed in anger and rushed over to see if he could save his laptop. Noah yelped as Isaac pushed him aside to attend to his laptop and turn it up-side-down, but the computer just gave a spark and the screen went completely black. "Noooo! My essay! My fucking essay!"
Everyone immediately came over to see what was wrong, and Lily gasped as she saw juice leaking from the laptop that Isaac was holding up-side-down over the couch table. Molly had come out from under the table now and stood a few feet away, glancing between them warily.
"What's going on?" Dean demanded, and they all gathered behind Isaac to see.
"Noah just destroyed my laptop! And my essay! I spent ten fucking hours writing that!" Isaac shouted in fury. He spread his wings and growled angrily at Noah who was now curled up in the corner of the couch, looking guilty and scared.
"I-I'm sorry," Noah sobbed out, tears streaming down his face now. He pulled his knees up against his chest and pressed himself into the couch.
"Isaac!" Castiel hissed and glared at him. "Don't be so rude to your brother; it was an accident."
Jason came over, taking the leaking laptop from Isaac's hands and looked at it. He was studying computer hardware and repairs so he was good with that kind of stuff, but when he saw the amount of fluid that was leaking from the laptop he cringed, and knew immediately that this wasn't good. "Shit man, the entire hard drive is soaked in juice. I hate it to say it, but there is no way you're gonna recover any data from this…" He put the broken laptop down on the couch table again and felt Eden put a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh that's fucking great!" Isaac growled.
"Isaac," Lily scolded him when she saw Noah flinch at Isaac's outburst. Molly too didn't seem to like the tone in the room at the moment, and she stood in the background and whined plaintively.
Dean sighed deeply and ran a hand down his face.
"Well, at least you have insurance on it…" Adrian said.
"Yeah, but not on my essay! It's due tomorrow," Isaac grumbled and stamped his foot on the floor in frustration.
"We'll get you a new computer, and Cas can help you write your essay again tonight; he's good with that stuff. You already wrote it once so you'd remember most of it," Dean spoke, trying to calm Isaac down.
"Yes, I will help you write your new essay. And please stop shouting at Noah like that; he did not do this on purpose," Castiel spoke and stared at him in disapproval.
Isaac's jaw dropped. "What?! And he doesn't even get grounded or anything? If this was me I would have been grounded for two months and not allowed to eat candy either, and all you say to Noah is that it wasn't his fault?! Why are you always taking it so easy on him?!"
Noah sniffled from the corner of the couch and stared up at Isaac. "I really am sorry… I-It was an accident."
Isaac whipped his head in Noah's direction and glared at him. "I do things by accident too and I still get punished! This is so unfair – dad and papa wanted to have me, but you weren't even supposed to born; you were an accident!" he shouted. He regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth, and his eyes widened in horror when he saw the look of devastation on Noah's face.
"Isaac, enough!" Castiel shouted angrily, flaring his wings out in rage.
Everyone gasped in horror at Isaac's cruel words, and Noah's eyes prickled with new tears before he cried, got up from the couch, and ran out of the room as fast as he could.
Isaac stood paralyzed, not believing the words that had just left his mouth. Bile rose on the back of his throat when he realized he had just turned into a bully towards his own little brother.
"Isaac!" Dean bellowed. "To your room, right now," he grit out, pointing towards the door angrily while glaring Isaac down.
Isaac nodded quietly, lowering his head in shame. He turned around and went upstairs to his room, slamming the door behind him as he entered it.
There was complete silence in the living room for a few seconds, and everyone glanced warily at each other, not knowing what to say or do. Dean went over to Castiel who still seemed pretty upset by what had happened and what Isaac had said, and he gently rubbed the angel's arm to calm him down. Castiel's wings folded themselves behind his back again, dropping slightly.
Lily seemed pretty upset as well, and Eden came over and pulled her into a hug, trying to comfort her. Jason and Adrian stood quietly, not knowing what to do.
"I'll go up and speak with Noah," Castiel announced, slowly stepping away from Dean.
"Alright," Dean said, watching as Castiel left the room and headed out to the stairs in the entrance hall.
Castiel walked up the stairs, glancing towards Isaac's room briefly and considered going in there to talk to him, but he knew that Isaac would probably need a few minutes to calm down and think everything over, so he went over Noah's room first. He knocked gently on the door and entered the room when he didn't get a reply.
Noah was lying face-down on his bed, crying into his pillow. His body and wings trembled as he sobbed, and Castiel closed the door and carefully approached the bed.
"Noah?" Castiel spoke, lingering by the bed for a few moments before sitting down on the edge, facing Noah.
Noah sobbed a few more times before lifting his head from the bed. "Why did he say that?" he sobbed out.
Castiel sighed and reached out to rub Noah's back soothingly. "Isaac was upset, and he did not think about what he was saying. He was angry over what had happened, and since he is a teenager he can get pretty moody. I promise you he did not mean what he said; he loves you."
Noah sniffled and looked over his shoulder at his papa. "Was I really an accident? You didn't want me?"
The angel's heart clenched at those words. He gestured for Noah to get up and then pulled the boy up into his lap, hugging him tightly. "Of course we wanted you, but we didn't plan to have you like we planned to have your siblings. I became pregnant with you by accident, but both your father and I would never even have considered not having you after I got pregnant." He rested his chin on top of Noah's head and ran a hand through the boy's hair as Noah kept sobbing quietly against him. "You were a surprise, but a pleasant surprise. Your dad and I love you as much as we love all your siblings."
Noah wrapped his arms around Castiel, clinging to him. His sobbing had died down but he was still sniffling. "How do you get a baby by accident?" he murmured into Castiel's shirt.
Castiel blushed a bit. "You will know when you are older. What is most important is that your father and I love you, no matter what."
Noah snuggled against him, seemingly okay with that answer. "And I'm sorry I broke Isaac's laptop… I didn't mean to."
"I know, sweetie. Isaac will get another one – his laptop was insured so it will not cost us anything. And I will help him make a new essay, so everything is going to be alright." Castiel pressed a kiss to Noah's head, and glanced down at him when Noah slowly pulled away to look at him.
"You should ground me. Isaac always gets grounded…"
Castiel couldn't help but chuckle. "No, no one is getting grounded today. I think both of you learned your lesson. But next time you have to put your glass far away from the laptop, understand?"
Noah nodded and seemed to cheer up a little again. "Do you think Isaac is still m-mad?" His voice broke a little since all the talking and sobbing was getting uncomfortable for his throat.
"He's probably still upset but I do not think he's angry anymore," Castiel smiled. Noah leaned forward and rested against Castiel again, humming softly as his papa stroked his back for comfort.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile, Lily had gone upstairs to see if Isaac wanted to talk. She knocked on his door three times and wasn't surprised by the answer she got.
"Go away! I don't wanna talk," Isaac said inside the room.
Lily could hear that Isaac had been crying, although he'd probably deny so if confronted with it. "Isaac, it's me; your favorite twin. Can I come in?" she spoke, smiling at the door.
There was silence for a few moments before Isaac replied. "Yeah, okay. The door is open…"
Lily smiled and entered the room. She wasn't surprised to find Isaac sitting on his bed and looking depressed. She went over to him and quietly sat down next to him.
"I didn't mean to act like that… I just got angry," Isaac muttered, staring into his lap. He cast a glance at her, looking slightly like a kicked puppy. "Do you hate me?"
Lily chuckled and shoved her twin playfully, making him have to put his hand on the bed to prevent himself from falling down on his side. "No, how could I hate that adorable fox face of yours?"
Isaac stared at her in shock. "Fuck face?"
"Fox face! Jesus," Lily groaned, rolling her eyes. She often compared him to a fox because he would always get that sly, mischievous smirk on his face when he was up to no good, and it reminded her of a fox. "And no, I don't hate you, but what you said to Noah was pretty damn mean and I don't approve of it," she added with a slight growl in her voice at the end.
Isaac cringed and stared into his lap again. "I know…"
Lily reached her tail over to Isaac's which was lying on the bed next to his leg, and she entwined their tails and smiled when she felt her twin reciprocate the gesture.
They looked up when someone knocked on the door and watched as Dean entered the room. The demon gently closed the door behind him before going over to stand in front of them. Isaac avoided Dean's eye, not wanting to see the disapproval and disappointment he suspected would be there. The twins' tails parted, lying idly on the bed now.
"Feeling less angry now?" Dean asked, crossing his arms. The tip of his tail pointed upwards where it was situated next to his leg, indicating that he was serious and authoritative.
Isaac cringed. "Yes, sir."
Dean huffed and unfolded his arms again. "No need to call me that; I'm not really here to discipline you other than telling you that I do not want anyone in this house talking like that to others ever again, you hear me?"
Isaac nodded and looked up at Dean. "Yes, I hear you. I'm sorry…"
"I know," Dean said, sighing softly. "Now, you just always seem to get yourself in some kind of trouble, mostly because you're reckless. But I don't remember ever punishing you for something you did completely by accident, though; your papa and I have only ever grounded you or banned you from eating candy if you were acting recklessly and caused something or someone to get hurt. That's why I don't quite understand why you were saying that you would have been grounded if you were the one that had caused that accident with the laptop earlier."
"I get grounded a lot," Isaac muttered, matter of factly. "And Noah was using my laptop without my permission and was drinking juice next to it… That's kind of reckless, no?"
"But I told him he could probably use it as long as he didn't edit in your essay," Lily said, feeling somewhat guilty.
Dean sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Well, it's true that Noah shouldn't have put his glass of juice so close to the laptop, but I think after the way you hurt him you're both even and you both learned your lesson, so neither if you is gonna get grounded. Besides, Noah is only 8; he doesn't know yet what's a good idea and what's a bad idea unless we teach him."
"But you still pay a lot more attention to him…" Isaac muttered, not hiding the jealousy in his voice. Lily stared into her lap as if she was thinking the same.
"We do?" Dean said, frowning. "Well, if I remember right, your papa and I had to constantly pay attention to the two of you when you were younger, otherwise you'd wreck the whole house. And Noah isn't like you; he's less independent and a lot more clingy, and he generally just needs a lot more attention than you ever did. We don't love him more than we love you; we love all of you equally."
"That's true… Noah's always so shy and insecure," Lily said, smiling fondly when thinking of Noah.
"Hmm… I guess so," Isaac murmured, considering what Dean had just said.
There was a knock on the door, and Isaac told the person to enter. They looked up when Castiel entered the room with Noah clinging to his side, hiding a bit behind him and glancing over at Isaac warily.
Castiel smiled when he saw that both Lily and Dean were in the room to talk to Isaac, before turning his attention to Isaac who was staring at Noah. "I figured that the two of you might want to apologize to each other without getting angry this time."
Isaac nodded quietly. He glanced over at Noah who was still hiding a bit behind their papa and was averting his eyes slightly. Castiel went over to stand in front of Isaac, and gently pushed Noah forward to that the boy was standing in front of him. Isaac was still seated on the bed, making him more or less eye level with Noah.
Noah twitched slightly as he stood in front of Isaac and slowly raised his gaze to look at him. "I'm sorry I broke your laptop and your essay… And I'm sorry I can't write a new one for you."
Isaac couldn't help but chuckle at the last comment. "It's okay; I'll get a new computer. And I'm sorry for saying those things to you earlier… I was just really angry. I didn't mean to be mean or hurt you…" He stared down into his lap and twitched his tail next to him on the bed. He yelped in surprise when Noah suddenly launched forward, wrapping his arms around Isaac's neck and hugging him. Isaac blinked and didn't know what to do with his hands before he slowly and awkwardly wrapped them around Noah. He wasn't much of a hugging person – especially not with his siblings – but he couldn't help but sigh in relief as Noah hugged him.
Dean grinned at the scene and curled his tail around Castiel's leg and brushed their wings together. The angel smiled and turned his head to look at Dean, broadening his smile.
After a few moments Isaac twitched awkwardly. "Yeah, okay, enough hugging. Hugging is for girls, and I ain't a girl," he muttered and gently pushed Noah back. Noah giggled softly and stepped back, and Isaac scratched the back of his neck and tried not to blush.
Lily giggled next to him. "Sure you aren't a girl? Just a little bit?" she teased.
"Shut up," Isaac grumbled and glared at her. "Do you wanna see for yourself or what?"
Lily grimaced in disgust. "Ew! No!" She got up from the bed, shuddering as if to shake the disgusting picture out of her mind. Her feathers moved as she shuddered, and she curled her tail around her own leg.
Dean laughed out loud and Castiel chuckled.
"What does she want to see?" Noah asked, tilting his head.
Isaac was about to reply but Lily quickly cut in, "Nothing you ever want to picture!"
Dean laughed. "Well, you guys did share a womb together and used to bathe with each other until you were like five, so it's not like you haven't seen each other without clothes on before."
"We were kids! That's different!" Lily exclaimed, groaning.
Castiel rolled his eyes fondly at them before saying, "Come on, let's go downstairs. We have to get started with Isaac's new essay."
Isaac got up from the bed and looked over at Castiel whom he was almost just as tall as now. "I'm not sure if it'll turn out as good as the first one, though… I forgot some of it."
"We will think up new things then," Castiel smiled.
"And I can help; I have the same essay since we're in class together, and I already finished mine three days ago," Lily offered.
"Can't I just copy yours?" Isaac joked, smirking in mischief.
Lily slapped her tail against his. "No! The teacher will bust us both for cheating then."
"I was only joking…"
Castiel chuckled at them and went forward to pull Isaac into a hug. The boy stilled in his arms, surprised by the hug, but still returned it. They didn't hug often because Isaac usually didn't want to, but Castiel smiled when he felt Isaac burying his face in his shoulder and sighing contently as if enjoying the attention. He rubbed his son's back before pulling away, smiling at him, and Isaac yelped when Dean suddenly pulled him forward into a hug as well. It was a faster hug and more of a father/son hug, and Isaac blushed slightly after Dean pulled back, especially because Lily was giggling at him.
Dean chuckled at him and they all left the room together, heading downstairs to the others who were waiting for them to return.
Eden immediately came over to them, wanting to know how things between Isaac and Noah were, and she sighed in relief when she saw the two of them getting along again. Adrian had expected both of them to get grounded but he agreed that both of them had probably learned their lesson already.
Castiel and Lily helped Isaac write his new essay, using Dean's laptop this time. Noah stayed as far away from the laptop as possible, as if he was scared he was going to break that one too, but Castiel just smiled at him and made him sit on his lap, showing him he shouldn't be scared of that.
Dean and Castiel were glad to see all their kids getting along again, and how Eden and Adrian too tried to help make Isaac's new essay. Dean was staring a lot now whenever Eden and Jason were standing close, and Castiel knew that the demon was pondering too much about their daughter having a baby of her own in a few years.
Time was flying too fast, and it wouldn't be long before the twins would start in high school and Adrian would be off to college or military school.

Author's notes: I've been planning the Isaac/Noah fight for a while but couldn't find a place to squeeze it in until now. It was my beta who gave me the idea for it :) (Though it was originally meant to be between Adrian and Noah, but Isaac's character just seemed to fit better for it since he sometimes just blurts things out.) There is going to be more time jumps from now on, usually jumps of several months and maybe a year at some point. We're slowly approaching Noah's teenage years and Eden having her first baby…. Should be interesting XD
Please review, and thank you so much for reading! :)
