January 2042 (Castiel is 52, Dean is 54, Eden is 28, Adrian is 25, the twins are 21, Noah is 15 (almost 16), Jayden is 17, Jason is 29, Daniel is 2 (almost 3), Natalie is 24, Tony is 21 years old).

Over the next few days Noah noticed a change in the behavior between Jayden and his friends. They seemed less close now, and he would sometimes catch them snapping at each other because Jayden's friends were insisting that Jayden should stop being around Noah, but Jayden kept refusing to listen to them and told them to back off. Now Jayden's friends were beginning to distance themselves a bit from Jayden, especially when they spotted him talking to Noah, and Noah didn't feel very good about that. He didn't want to come between Jayden and his friends and teammates.

Noah knew that rumors were starting to spread about him and Jayden sleeping together. Some thought they were romantically involved while others just thought that Noah was Jayden's little fuck toy. Noah tried not to pay them any attention, and he tried to hide the blush that appeared on his cheeks whenever he heard about the rumors.

It was Friday and it was Dean's 54th birthday. They had celebrated it a bit in the morning with breakfast and candles on the table, and when they were coming home later Castiel was planning on baking Dean's favorite apple pie. Adrian, Natalie, Lily, Tony, Isaac, and Eden and her little family were coming by later to celebrate Dean's birthday, and Noah was looking forward to seeing them all again.

Noah was getting his books from his locker along with Abby and Christie in the morning, like they always did together, when suddenly a gang of four girls surrounded them. Noah turned around and blinked at them in bewilderment, and instantly became wary when he saw them crossing their arms in front of their chests while glaring at him. He knew three of them from his P.E. and math classes, and they were the kind of girls that the jocks dated.

"What do you want?" Abby asked them, sneering at the girls because she didn't like that snobby kind of girls who wore short skirts and practically flashed their boobs to get some attention from the males. It was okay that some girls wore short skirts and so on, but these girls only did it to get better points with the jocks and thought they were sexier and better than everyone else.

The demon girl at the front spared Abby and Christie an uninterested look before glaring back at Noah. "I want this little cockroach to stay the hell away from Jayden, that's all." The two human girls and demon/human hybrid behind her nodded in agreement.

Noah blinked at her, completely baffled. "What?"

"Don't play stupid!" the girl – who was named Allison – sneered at him. "Jayden's been fucking you, hasn't he? Do you have any idea how many arguments and fights that has led to in the football team? Not to mention that you don't deserve Jayden; he's better off without such a freak like you!"

"Yeah, I was so close to getting with him once and he totally turned me down… He wouldn't have if it weren't for you," the human girl Cassandra snapped at him.

Noah stared back at them with wide eyes. He hadn't expected to be approached by a bunch of pissed off high school girls like this just because he and Jayden were friends.

Abby growled and stepped forward. "Leave him the fuck alone, you bitches!" Christie stepped forward too, although she wasn't as confident as Abby was.

"Stay out of this!" Allison snapped back at her.

"Um, I think Jayden can hang out with whoever he wants. It's not really your concern," Noah argued.

"Jocks don't hang out with freak losers like you!" Allison spat.

Noah's face hardened as he glared back at her. "No, apparently they hang out with brainless whores like you…" he muttered, staring her right into the eyes.

Allison and her friends reeled back at that; they hadn't expected that at all. Abby and Christie grinned proudly and watched the girls' reactions with satisfaction.

"You're the whore here!" Allison roared in rage and went forward to grab Noah by the front of his shirt.

Noah responded by grabbing the hand that she was grasping his shirt with and dug his nails into her skin, making her cry out and pull her hand back fast. It was an instinctive move in reaction to him feeling threatened, and he was quite surprised at himself although he didn't let it show as he glared back at her shocked face.

Allison's friends gasped and came forward to check on her hand, and Allison's face soon changed into one of anger. "Freak!" she just spat at him before hurrying out of there with her friends, and few people in the corridor blinked at the scene in confusion before going back to their own business again.

"Wow! You really showed that bitch!" Abby cheered, grinning proudly at Noah.

"Yeah, she's not gonna do that again anytime soon," Christie grinned.

"I don't like girls like her…" Noah murmured and pushed his shoulder bag back in place when it was about to glide off his shoulder. He felt adrenaline pump through his body after what he had just done, and it felt good to have defended himself for once.

"Me neither," Abby said. "But I have the feeling that you're gonna be meeting more girls like them… It doesn't seem like the popular girls are happy that you're stealing the attention of the school's quarterback – especially not since you're not exactly popular yourself…"

"I do wonder why Jayden keeps hanging out with you even though his popularity is now at stake… He could end up being just as low as we are," Christie spoke, speculating about it.

Noah wondered a bit about that too, but it seemed that Jayden wasn't the type of guy to do what others expected him to do if he didn't want to, especially if said others didn't really mean all that much to him. It was Noah's impression that although Jayden hung out with his football teammates, partied with them, made jokes with them and so on, he didn't consider them real friends for some reason.

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

Noah met up with his friends again in the big lunch break, and they seated themselves at their usual spot in the far corner of the eastern cafeteria. Since after New Year a human boy named Mick had joined them since he didn't really fit in anywhere and didn't have many friends. He had some classes with Christie and they knew each other well, and she had offered him to sit with them so that he wouldn't have to be alone. Noah didn't mind; Mick seemed nice and he was sort of a shy guy like him.

Noah had just started eating his lunch when Abby returned to the table after having bought something from the cantina.

"Oh my god, you're not gonna believe what I just heard," Abby said, sitting down opposite from Noah. Noah was sitting next to Mick, and Abby and Christie sat on the other side.

"What?" Christie prompted, curious.

Abby glanced around before saying, "Jayden got thrown off the football team because his teammates don't get along with him anymore."

Noah's eyes widened in shocked surprise.

"Whoa, really? That happened fast," Christie said, blinking in surprise.

"Apparently the coach kicked him out because most of the team wouldn't listen to Jayden anymore – he's the quarterback and is sort of the leader of the team, so it doesn't work if his team isn't cooperating with him," Abby explained.

Noah was shocked. He hadn't thought that Jayden would end up getting kicked off his football team. He knew that the sport meant a lot to Jayden – Noah had seen him practice a few times and he could tell that Jayden enjoyed it. Guilt rose inside him now and his stomach tied up in knots with it.

"All of that just because he's hanging out with Noah?" Mick asked, equally shocked by the news.

"Well, most of the football team is against angels and demons mating and despise angel/demon hybrids, and they're convinced that Noah and Jayden have something intimate going on. Plus, it's kinda bad that their quarterback is hanging out and defending someone who's at the total bottom of the school's hierarchy… they don't really tolerate that," Abby said, finally beginning to eat from her food now.

"That's fucked up," Christie murmured.

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

After lunch break Noah had English class with Jayden. He didn't really know how to approach his friend after hearing that news from Abby. Jayden had to feel hurt and frustrated about it. He had not only been kicked out of his favorite sport, his friends – or teammates at least – had all turned against him now.

Noah walked down the corridor, as usual ignoring people glaring at him even though he could sense that some people glared harder at him now than usual.

Someone pushed hard into his shoulder, making Noah gasp and look back at the person.

"Great work on splitting up our football team. Guess Jayden likes your ass better than his own team," the demon guy sneered at him before walking away.

Noah flinched slightly at that before walking the rest of the way to class.

When he arrived he noticed that Jayden wasn't in the classroom yet, but his three former jock friends were. The guys immediately stopped talking and glared up at Noah when he entered the room. Noah swallowed nervously when pretty much the whole class was looking at him now, and he quickly made his way over to the free seat on the window row.

Someone coughed out the word 'slut' at him, making some of the others laugh, and Noah glared briefly at the guy before setting up his laptop and tried to tune everyone out. He was determined not to give them the satisfaction of showing them how much their comments bothered him.

Suddenly there was tension among the others in class, and Noah looked up to see that Jayden had finally arrived. The alpha glared back at those who stared at him, and Noah was a little surprised when Jayden made his way over to him.

"Can I sit with you?" Jayden asked, standing next to him and fidgeted a bit.

Noah blinked and quickly pushed his laptop over to the seat next to him closest to the window, before moving over to the other chair so that Jayden could take the seat closest to the aisle. "Of course," he replied as he moved over.

"Thanks," Jayden said, flashing him a brief smile before sitting down.

"Yeah, go sit with that little cock slut of yours! I bet his ass is worth it!" Frank yelled over at Jayden, making the other jocks crack up. Some of the others in class laughed too while others – the few who didn't care that Noah and Jayden were friends – just shook their heads and glared over at Frank.

"Yeah, I bet he's nice and tight," Thomas snickered.

Jayden tensed up at the comments, and Noah did too. He glanced at Jayden out of the corner of his eye and saw him clenching his jaw.

Jayden then turned his body to face his former friends before sneering back, "Well, at least I'm not a narrow-minded asshole who sleeps with the school's sluttiest girls. Don't forget that both of you already got STDs."

Frank and Thomas' faces went completely red with embarrassment when their classmates all laughed and the girls exclaimed 'ewww' in unison.

Noah held his hand up to his mouth as he snickered, knowing that the fact that Frank and Thomas had STDs was not going to make it easy for them to get laid again anytime soon.

Frank snarled and rose from his chair, but the teacher stepped into the room just then so he quickly sat back down in his chair again. Jayden and Frank glared each other down until Jayden turned his attention to the teacher instead.

Noah felt a little self-conscious when sitting so close to Jayden. They never sat next to each other in class, so it was really strange but also kind of nice. As usual there was space between their wings to avoid their feathers touching, and Noah couldn't help but stare at Jayden's curling tail sometimes. Since he had grown up in a family where his father and all his siblings had tails, Noah could easily read Jayden's tail's movements as being agitated. He knew that Jayden was probably not happy with being thrown off his football team and now suddenly have his friends turn against him, and he couldn't help but feel guilty about that.

At one point one of the angel guys sitting behind them threw something at Noah's head, but when Jayden noticed it he shot the guy a sharp glare and sharpened his wings slightly, making the other boy swallow nervously and back down immediately.

They both noticed that most of their classmates were staring at them all the time and whispering about them when the teacher wasn't paying attention, and it made them both uncomfortable. At the same time Noah felt more comfortable in English class than usual with Jayden sitting next to him.

Class ended and Noah finally had weekend. Castiel still didn't want him to be home alone so Noah had visited Abby on Tuesday and stayed in the school's library on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and he intended to head to the library today as well. His parents would be picking him up in an hour and a half anyway.

Everyone packed their stuff to leave, but Jayden seemed to take his time, obviously intent on staying behind with Noah in the classroom to talk. Noah had to save his files and write down some notes so he left his laptop on for now and waited for the others to leave. The jocks glared and sneered at them as they left, and Jayden glared back at them until they were no longer in the room.

When everyone was gone, Noah pushed his laptop back and titled the screen down so that it wouldn't distract him while talking to Jayden.

Jayden sat back in the chair with crossed arms and spread legs, and he sighed deeply before straightening up a bit. "Well, I got kicked off the football team now… Like Justin said I would," he muttered, breaking the silence between them.

"I know. Abby told me," Noah replied, glancing at Jayden who still wasn't looking at him.

Jayden ran a hand through his hair and exhaled in frustration. "Well, shit happens. If my team can't stop being a bunch of immature, racist idiots then they're not worth spending my time with."

"But this is still my fault… If it weren't for me, then—"

"No, no, no," Jayden quickly said, finally turning his body to look at him. He caught Noah's eyes and held his gaze stubbornly when saying, "This is not your fault and I don't blame you for it. I enjoy football, yes, and I had people to hang out with and party with, and I didn't get sneered at in the corridors, but honestly all of that was just superficial bull crap. If my friends were real friends then they wouldn't turn their backs on me or go against me for hanging out with you and for not being what they want me to be. Besides, all those social rules about jocks not being able to talk to those in the lower 'hierarchy' is fucking stupid. I'm so tired of those rules and of slutty girls who swarm up around me whenever they see me – they don't even care who am I anyway, only what I am," he murmured, glancing away. "Also, I, um, I enjoy your company a lot. At least you don't seem to care whether or not I'm popular and all that, and I feel more like I can be myself around you. I kinda like that…" He glanced at Noah from under his lashes and seemed to blush a bit when saying that.

Noah blushed a bit too, but he felt a surge of joy inside of him when hearing Jayden say that. "But we don't even know each other that well," he pointed out.

"No, but we're starting to, and I think it's going well. And I just feel a lot better in your company than I do with those popularity-freaks," Jayden spoke, smiling a little as he looked at Noah.

Noah's cheeks reddened a bit again and a shy smile tugged at his lips. "I enjoy your company too, Connor." He added the last part to tease him and it totally worked – Jayden's eyes widened and his eyebrows shot up.

"Jeez." Jayden groaned loudly and buried his head in his hands. "Not you too…" he complained, whining softly.

Noah laughed, and he felt happy with himself when he saw Jayden cheer up and laugh a bit as well.

The alpha turned to look at him with a smirk on his face. "I'm glad you're beginning to get more comfortable around me and show the more playful side of yourself, but I really don't like being called by that name…"

"I think it's a nice name, though."

The smile on Noah's face was sincere, and it made Jayden blush a bit.

Jayden coughed self-consciously. "Well, anyway, it seems like I'm gonna be hanging out with you more these days… if you don't mind. There's not much I can do about those silly rumors, but I can keep some of the bullies off us – at least if they get physical. They're probably gonna harass us both now, though…"

"I don't mind you hanging out with me; you're my friend, after all. I'm just sorry that you can't play football anymore…"

"Don't worry about it," Jayden said and smiled at Noah. "And I was actually thinking of taking up another sport instead, since I really wanna do something in my spare time and stay in shape."

"My papa says I should do some activities too since he doesn't want me staying home alone in the afternoons anymore… There's some creepy guy stalking our house, and we think he's one of those racists who wants to hurt angel/demon couples…" Noah murmured.

"Really?" Jayden's eyes widened in shock. "That sounds messed up. I can understand why your mother doesn't want you to be alone." There was a small pause. "Well, I was thinking of taking up swimming actually, and I think you might like it too."

Noah blinked at him in surprise. "Swimming? Hmm, I think that might be one of the sports that is most appealing to me… But I don't wanna attend it alone." The thought of attending some sport all by himself scared Noah a bit since he wasn't very good at mingling with strangers – especially if he was supposed to be half naked in front of them. He felt more comfortable if he had someone around him who was a friend or family member.

"Well, if you want we could go there together?"

Noah stared back at him, eyes wide, and considered it for a moment. "Um, maybe. I do enjoy swimming…" Dean and Castiel had taken him and his siblings to water parks once or twice, and Adrian had taught him the basics of swimming. Noah liked the water, but he was still a bit uncomfortable being almost naked in front of strangers.

Jayden flashed him a wide smile. "The local swim center is not far from here, and the prices are reasonable. We could just go swimming there in our spare time a few times a week. I kinda don't wanna attend the swim team here after what happened in my football team; I know those guys have a problem with me as well… Anyway, try talking with your parents about it and let me know what you decide."

"Okay," Noah replied, smiling. He flinched when there was a noise from his laptop all of sudden, and it took him a few seconds to register that someone was video calling him on Skype. His eyes widened at that. His laptop automatically signed into Skype whenever he turned it on, and he usually had the sound switched off during classes but he seemed to have forgotten it today. He reached forward and opened his screen, seeing that it was Isaac who was calling him.

"Who's calling?" Jayden asked curiously, leaning closer to peek at Isaac's profile picture. The image was a photo of Isaac making a funny face at some college party, and it was a very close close-up which made him look completely goofy.

"My brother Isaac," Noah murmured, blushing in embarrassment when Jayden snickered at the image. He hesitated a bit with picking up – both because he hated video calls, and because Jayden was sitting right next to him. "Uh…"

Jayden chuckled. "Just pick up the call; I don't mind." He leaned back in his chair and watched as Noah finally accepted the video call.

As soon as Noah had accepted the call, Isaac's face turned up on the screen – except that he was leaning right up in front of the webcam and was staring into it and opening his mouth in front of it, making Noah grimace and hate his life because Jayden was watching it too.

"Isaac!" Noah scolded him, groaning in embarrassment and sank down into his chair.

Jayden laughed out, finding it very amusing to watch.

"Oh, hey there, Noah, I didn't notice that you had picked up my call yet," Isaac grinned and leaned back. His eyes widened when he could see Jayden's shoulder, arm, and wing even though the demon was trying to lean away to get out of the picture. "Whoa, who's sitting next to you?"

"Um, that's Jayden," Noah said, glancing at Jayden who leaned closer now that he had been busted anyway.

"Hi," Jayden said, waving his hand at the screen.

"Holy shit, are you dating him now, Noah?!" Isaac blurted.

"What?! No!" Noah denied immediately, blushing so hard that his face felt really warm. "He was sitting next to me in class, which just ended."

"Oh that's too bad, 'cause he's a real hottie! Like, holy shit he's hot! If you're not fucking him then I might," Isaac grinned, laughing when Noah looked like he couldn't blush any harder.

Jayden just chuckled in amusement, looking at Noah in sympathy when the submissive looked very uncomfortable all of sudden and like he just wanted to hide.

"Why are you calling me?" Noah muttered once he was able to speak again after being so embarrassed. He glared at Isaac through the screen.

"'Cause I saw you were online and I need to talk to you," Isaac said. He glanced around his dorm room, and Noah could hear that Isaac's roommate Jack seemed to be in there was all. Isaac looked back at the screen again. "So, uh, today is dad's birthday and he's picking Lily and me up in less than two hours, and I forgot to buy a present!" He quickly cut Noah off when his brother was about to speak, "Yeah, yeah, I know: I'm forgetful and stupid, I know that." He rolled his eyes before continuing. "So, what does dad want for his birthday? Do you know?"

Jayden watched quietly as Noah began telling Isaac about some movie that Dean wanted, and Isaac nodded and wrote down some notes. The alpha smiled absently as he watched them interact through the screen, and he enjoyed watching how Noah was when he was talking to a sibling. He liked to see the parts of Noah that the submissive didn't show when he was at school.

"Cool, I'll go buy him that movie then," Isaac spoke after Noah had answered his question. "So, I'll leave you alone with that alpha hottie again…" He gave Noah a suggestive wink through the screen and laughed when Noah squirmed in embarrassment. "See ya later, squirt."

"Yes, I'll see you later," Noah said, ending the call and closed down his laptop before leaning back with a heavy sigh. Jayden chuckled next to him, and Noah cast him a brief glance. "I'm sorry… Isaac is always embarrassing."

Jayden laughed softly. "No problem. He reminds me a lot of that uncle of yours, Gabriel Novak. At least from the interviews that I've seen with him."

"Yes, Gabriel is Isaac's big idol, and our uncle taught him pretty much all the pranks he knows…"

Jayden threw his head back and laughed at that.

They got up from their chairs and packed the rest of their stuff. Jayden had to head home soon but he followed Noah over to the library where Noah intended to do some homework until he was picked up later. The library was pretty much empty, and the librarian was putting books back into place so Noah would be safe from bullies there.

Just as they arrived outside the library, a beta and an alpha demon suddenly showed up in front of them. Noah recognized them from P.E. class – they were some of Jayden's buddies, but not jocks.

Jayden immediately got in front of him, spreading his wings slightly in a wary gesture as he stared at the two guys in front of them. Noah felt a surge of something inside him when he saw Jayden getting in front of him like that to protect him.

"Whoa," the alpha – Rick – exclaimed, holding up his hands to show that he wasn't a threat. "We're not here to throw the same shit at you as the others, man. We're not racists and we don't care who you hang out with."

The beta, who was named Chris, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we're still your buddies."

Jayden immediately folded his wings behind his back again and visibly relaxed. "Sorry. I haven't exactly been on a good terms with everyone these days…" He gave them a friendly smile after that and was relieved that at least two of his former buddies were still talking to him.

Rick smiled. "No problem." He and Chris turned to look at Noah now, who was eyeing them somewhat warily. "Hey, Noah," Rick greeted him with a smile.

Noah was slightly surprised to be greeted so friendly by Rick and Chris, but he hadn't actually spoken to them before or really paid them any attention, so he had never known if they were racists or not. "Hi," he replied, smiling back at them.

"It really sucks that so many people are racist when it comes to angels and demons mating…" Chris began, looking at Noah. "I mean, I kinda get why they think it's wrong, but there's no proof that it makes the genes all bad. Besides, I slept with an angel/human hybrid girl once, and that was an interesting experience…" He smirked at that, making Jayden chuckle and Rick roll his eyes.

"Yeah, I remember that story. She almost killed you for forgetting the condom," Jayden chuckled.

Chris groaned at that. "It was my bad. But goddamn she was sexy when she was mad," he grinned.

Noah shifted awkwardly, finding it weird and awkward to listen to three of them talking about sexual partners now.

"Your gross talk is making Noah uncomfortable," Rick said, giving Chris an accusing glare before looking at Noah. "If anyone harasses you and Jayden we'll gladly help kick their asses." Chris nodded in agreement, and Noah chuckled shyly.

Jayden laughed. "Thanks, guys. But I think I can handle most of them myself."

"Of course you can; you're one of the strongest alphas on this school. Right after me, of course," Rick smirked.

Jayden snorted and shoved him playfully, and the three demons bumped fists as they said goodbye. Chris and Rick nodded their goodbyes at Noah before disappearing down the corridor, and Jayden and Noah were left standing alone in front of the library.

Noah smiled up at Jayden. "I'm glad that you still appear to have some friends."

Jayden grinned at him. "Yeah, me too. Chris and Rick are cool, even though I only have two classes with them. I think you'd like them."

Noah just smiled and stared at his feet a bit until Jayden broke the silence.

"So… see you on Monday. Hopefully they won't give us a too hard time."

Noah nodded. "Yeah, see you."

They smiled at each other for a few seconds until Jayden turned and walked down the corridor. Noah stared at Jayden's wings and his broad shoulders until the demon was out of his sight, before he finally sat down at a table and began doing his homework while waiting for Dean and Castiel to pick him up.

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

Since it was Dean's birthday they picked up the twins on the way home, and Adrian and Natalie were coming later that night from L.A. Eden, Jason, and Daniel were also coming, and they would be there soon.

When they came home in the Tahoe they were shocked to see that the white fence outside their house had been sprayed on with red paint.

Dean quickly parked the car in front of the garage and stormed out to go down and inspect the fence. He growled as he looked at the vandalism, and his wings sharpened and spread out aggressively. Castiel followed him and gasped when he saw it up close.

"It was probably that creepy-ass stalker," Dean growled. "When I find him I'll tear his lungs out!"

Isaac, Noah, Lily, and Tony went over to see too, and Lily and Noah were pretty freaked out by it.

"Dean, I don't like this…" Castiel said, trembling in fear now. Someone had vandalized their property – sending them a message. What would that person do next? Castiel was too scared to even think about that; he feared for his family's wellbeing now.

"Oh my god… That is so unsettling," Lily said, shivering. Tony stood next to her and rubbed her arm for comfort, brushing their wings together. Lily was very paranoid about racists ever since someone had broken into her room and vandalized it. The culprit hadn't been caught yet but the police had found some good fingerprints and were confident they would catch the guy sooner or later.

Noah didn't feel comfortable either, and he took a few steps back in shock. His eyes suddenly caught something on the mailbox. "Uh, dad? Someone wrote on the mailbox too…" he said.

Dean immediately came over to see, as did the others, and they all stared at the black writing saying 'Not pure'. 'Not pure' was what the Pure Bloods group had encouraged people to write on angel/demon's houses in order to send them a message, so there was no doubt that whoever had done it had been inspired by that group.

"That is fucked up, man!" Isaac exclaimed, and was starting to feel pretty scared too it even though he would never admit it.

Dean growled again, and Noah stepped back when he saw his father's feathers sharpen to the point that they were like knives.

Castiel was almost panicking now, and Lily came over to rub comforting circles into his shoulder which relaxed the angel a bit.

They all looked up when Mrs. Tran approached them. She was older now, with grey hairs and wrinkles, but she still had her usual spirit.

"I see you finally noticed that mess as well," Linda said, glaring at the vandalism like it offended her. "Unfortunately I didn't see who did it, but right before I noticed it I saw that angel guy again who's always lingering around your house lately. Well, I'm pretty sure it was him but he wore a ski mask… And there was another guy with him. An alpha angel I think…"

Dean growled. "Thanks, Linda. I'm gonna report this to the police and hope they aren't being racist too."

"Just call Jody; she's not a racist," Isaac reminded him. "And she promised she'd help you if you needed it, after she hit me with her car and all that…"

"Yeah, hopefully she can find out who that guy is and collect some evidence on him. I'll call her tomorrow; tonight is for family," Dean murmured. He looked at the painted fence again and sighed heavily. "Damnit, I just repainted it last summer…"

"You still have some paint left, right? Just use that. Adrian and I can probably help you paint it – then I get to splash paint on Adrian again," Isaac told him, grinning at the last part.

They rolled their eyes and laughed at him, and Castiel was glad that Isaac's funny little remark could help him get in a better mood again.

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

Eden and Jason arrived at the house with Daniel at 4:50, and at 5:45 Adrian and Natalie arrived. They too were pretty shocked to see the vandalism and were worried that something more serious could happen soon.

Everyone had brought presents for Dean, and Castiel rolled his eyes fondly when the demon grinned like an excited child when he sat down to open them. They had bought him various things such as movies, socks, shirts, a gift card to a men's clothing store, a tool kit since his other one was old and a few items were missing, and some bed sheets.

The kids had watched with happy smiles as Dean kept being very affectionate with Cas as they sat on the couch; brushing wings, touching his leg with his tail, putting his hand on the angel's thigh, and kissing his cheek once or twice. Although Castiel enjoyed the attention, he was a bit self-conscious when it happened in front of their children who were watching them.

Afterwards they got up from the couch again, and Eden finally broke the news to her siblings that she and Jason were expecting another baby. They gasped in surprise and immediately came over to congratulate her and Jason.

Natalie's eyes lit up as she approached Eden after hearing the news. "Oh, that's so nice," she grinned and hugged Eden. "Then we're probably due around the same time."

Eden frowned and slowly pulled away from the hug, eyeing Natalie up and down with wide eyes. "Wait… Does that mean…?"

Natalie just smiled and Adrian scratched the back of his neck shyly while everyone gasped in surprise.

"You're having a baby too?!" Isaac blurted, gaping at them.

Natalie smiled back over at Adrian and put a hand on her still flat stomach. "Yep, we're gonna have a baby too. In July."

Dean and Castiel were stunned, and there were loud cheers and gasps in the room.

Daniel was still sitting on the couch, playing with some toys with Bella sitting on the floor next to him, and he wasn't paying all that much attention to them.

"Oh, that's so awesome! Congratulations!" Eden beamed, pulling Natalie into another hug before going over to hug her little brother as well, grinning when she held Adrian tight.

"Oh wow, total baby boom in here," Tony remarked, smiling as he saw everyone being happy. He looked at Lily who was super excited and was almost teary with joy now.

Castiel smiled up at Dean who turned to smile back down at him, and they grabbed each other's hand and entwined their fingers before going over to congratulate them.

Adrian blushed a bit when Castiel pulled him down into a tight, proud hug, and the young alpha returned it, briefly closing his eyes at his papa's familiar scent.

"Congratulations, Adrian. I'm so glad that you have found such a wonderful mate and will soon have a family of your own," Castiel smiled, holding his oldest son tight and sighed happily. He missed Adrian every day and always looked forward to whenever his son would come over to visit.

"Thanks, papa," Adrian smiled, squeezing him before pulling back.

Castiel smiled up at him and cupped his cheek briefly before going over to hug Natalie.

Dean grinned proudly at Adrian as he stepped up in front of him. "That's the greatest news I could have gotten on my birthday. I'm happy for you, son." He pulled him into a tight hug and entwined their tails, and Adrian smiled and returned it.

Noah smiled at everyone, flaring his wings happily at the great news. He had already hugged Natalie to congratulate her, and he waited until Dean had pulled away before going over to Adrian.

"I'm glad that you've found Natalie and that you're having a baby. I know you'll be a good dad, Adrian," Noah smiled.

Adrian grinned and ruffled Noah's hair affectionately. "You think so? Thanks, Noah." He smiled and pulled his youngest sibling into a hug, and Noah grinned and rested his head on his big brother's chest. Noah laughed and squirmed his way out of Adrian's hold when the alpha tickled him a bit.

"Stop it! You're like Isaac now," Noah said, still laughing from the tickling.

Adrian laughed. "Isaac is ten times worse than me."

"You mean I'm the master!" Isaac corrected him from where he was standing over by Eden, Jason, and Lily.

"Yeah, whatever," Adrian chuckled.

Eden grinned at Natalie in excitement. "This is so exciting! We get to be pregnant together."

Natalie smiled. "Yeah, it's quite a coincidence. But this is your second time, and this is my first time, so I'm probably more nervous than you are…"

"Oh, you'll be fine. You're a strong girl after all," Eden said, smiling at her sister-in-law. The two of them got along well even though they didn't see each other often.

"I guess you can give her some advice and stuff," Jason spoke, standing next to Eden with his arm wrapped around her waist.

"Oh, of course!" Eden said, looking back at Natalie. "Just ask me anything."

"Thanks. I will," Natalie chuckled, grateful for Eden's offer.

Isaac glanced between all them with a happy smile, his tail curling next to him as he watched them. Then he turned to look at Lily who was standing next to him with Tony's arm around her waist. "I think Lily is next in the line to have babies…" he smirked.

"Or maybe it's you – you're four minutes older than me!" Lily reminded him, trying not to blush at her twin's comment.

"But you've got a boyfriend and I don't!" Isaac argued. "Uh, not that I could have a biological kid with a boyfriend unless it was a submissive anyway, but you get my point."

"I seriously wonder when Isaac is gonna have his first long-term relationship… So far he's only had one-night stands," Adrian murmured.

"Oh, he was seeing some girl several times at one point… Like, almost every night for two months," Lily spoke.

"Two months? Wow," Dean chuckled.

"Shut up! I'm not ready for commitment yet, is that a problem?" Isaac grumbled, crossing his arms and sulking a bit.

Castiel chuckled fondly. "Of course it isn't. You will find someone to commit yourself to when you are ready."

"Thanks… At least papa understands me," Isaac murmured.

Lily chuckled at him and ruffled his hair with affection, making Isaac shy away from her hand fast and then grab her arm, threatening to 'eat' her. Lily laughed and fought against him to make him let go, and they ended up in a smaller physical fight when Isaac refused to let go of her.

Castiel rolled his eyes while the others laughed. "You are such children," he murmured, hopelessly.

The others laughed at that, and Isaac finally let go of his twin. Then he grinned at her and suddenly pulled at her arm, making Lily stumble into him with a small yelp before Isaac placed a small, affectionate kiss on her temple. The loving gesture ended with a teasing slap on Lily's ass, who barely had time to recover from the surprise of her twin kissing her like that. She yelped again, jumping when Isaac slapped her rear.

"Isaac, you ass!" Lily snapped at him, blushing all over as she shoved him away harshly and slapped him with her tail, and Tony laughed behind her. Isaac just laughed at her almost mockingly, making her glare at him. It was typical Isaac to ruin an otherwise sweet gesture by doing something as inappropriately and silly as slapping her rear.

Eden crossed her arms and glared at Isaac. "And I thought you were being loving and sweet to her for once…"

"I was!" Isaac argued, still laughing.

Castiel rolled his eyes. "You are unbelievable," he muttered before going over to the kitchen to prepare dinner as well as making that apple pie for Dean.

Dean's eyes lit up when he saw his mate going over there. "You gonna make pie, Cas?" He grinned excitedly.

"Of course; I always do for your birthday," Castiel spoke, getting the ingredients ready.

"Oh, let me help you, papa," Eden offered and went over to him. Natalie and Lily followed, eager to help as well.

Jason picked up Daniel when the boy came over and tugged at his pants, and Daniel made a pleased noise once he sat on his father's arm.

"And dad's excited for pie like a kid is excited for Christmas," Adrian chuckled, always finding Dean's obsession with pie amusing.

"Who doesn't like pie? It's the best thing in creation!" Dean argued. "Jeez, and I thought I had raised my kids well."

The others laughed at that until Isaac suddenly turned his attention to Noah.

"Why aren't you cooking with the others? Don't tell me you still suck at it?" Isaac asked, raising a brow at him.

Noah stared at the floor and his feet, fidgeting slightly and slumping his wings.

Adrian smiled and reached out to ruffle Noah's hair. "It's okay. Not everyone has a talent with cooking."

"But I'm supposed to be good at it, aren't I?" Noah murmured, still not looking up. Just like females, submissives' historical gender role involved cooking and taking care of their children. If an alpha mated with a submissive, he would expect him to be able to cook delicious meals, and Noah couldn't really do that. He always screwed up when he tried cooking and just couldn't get the taste right.

"Hey, don't pay attention to stereotypes," Dean told him. "If you don't have a talent for it, then you just don't, and that's it. You don't even enjoy cooking that much, do you?"

"Not really… I suck at it anyway," Noah muttered.

Adrian smiled and wrapped an arm around Noah's shoulders, rubbing his leg with his tail. "Don't worry about it. There's no shame in not being good at it. Natalie isn't all that talented either, and neither am I, but we manage anyway."

Dean, Tony, and Jason nodded at that, and Noah felt a little better.

Daniel was put down on the ground again and he eagerly ran over to Noah, bumping right into him on purpose and laughed up at him. Noah chuckled down at him, and the boy then grabbed his hand and began leading him out into the entrance hall to the stairs since Daniel loved running up and down the stairs with Noah. Noah laughed when he realized his nephew's intentions.

"Aww, Noah is getting some mother-training," Isaac snickered as Noah and Daniel walked past him. "I bet the father of your kids is gonna be that delicious demon I saw on your webcam today!"

Noah blushed furiously and stopped in the doorway to the entrance hall to turned around and face him. "We're not together!" he denied, whining softly in embarrassment.

"What 'delicious demon'?" Adrian asked, frowning and looking between them.

"Is it that Jayden guy?" Jason asked, busy petting Bella who was running between him and Tony mostly.

"He's a fucking hottie, I can tell you that," Isaac grinned at them.

Dean groaned and crossed his arms in front of his chest while his tail shifted next to his leg in slight agitation. He was still very protective of Noah and he felt that Noah was still too young to be dating. He didn't dislike Jayden as such but he just wasn't comfortable with the thought that Noah might develop feelings for the guy.

Noah stuck out his tongue at Isaac before going out to play with Daniel on the stairs.

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

Castiel, Natalie, Eden, and Lily had fun cooking in the kitchen, and Castiel was glad that the girls helped him prepare all the food since there was so much to do. Natalie and Eden talked a lot about the babies they were expecting, and Castiel looked forward to two new extensions to the family. He could sense that Lily seemed a little jealous of her pregnant sister and sister-in-law, but that she was happy for them. Someday it would be her turn to have a baby as well.

Dean went over to the window every now and then, keeping an eye on the street outside to see if there were any suspicious people lurking around, but he didn't spot anything.

The mood in the house was cheerful, although the vandalism and threat outside the house were always in the backs of their minds. The news at 7:30pm revealed that even more angel/demon couples had been attacked that week or had experienced some kind of harassment – especially when one of the individuals were alone. Angel/demon hybrids had also been assaulted, even though there were so few of them. It was unsettling for the family, and everyone knew that they shouldn't walk around alone anymore.

At 11:30pm Dean and Castiel retreated to the bedroom. It was a tradition for them to have sex whenever one of them had a birthday, and Dean's tail had been curling with excitement for past half an hour.

Castiel undressed in front of the bed, waiting for Dean to return to the bedroom after the demon had gone downstairs to get something. The angel took his time, pulling off his shirt and shaking his wings to straighten his feathers, and proceeded with taking off his pants. Since it was Dean's birthday he would let Dean decide what kind of sex they would have tonight, and the anticipation of what Dean had come up with made Castiel rather excited. He could already feel his body tingling with arousal and his ass beginning to slick up. He quickly undressed completely and shielded his naked form with his wings when he heard someone open the door and enter the room. He was relieved it see it was just Dean.

Dean flashed him a smug grin before closing and locking the door. He was holding a plate in his hand with the leftover pie and some whipped cream, and Castiel frowned when he saw it.

"You wish to eat now?" Castiel asked, raising an eyebrow at him and felt slightly disappointed.

Dean laughed when he could see the disappointment on his face and how Cas' wings slumped a bit. "No worries, I have something very special in mind for this pie and cream, and it involves you too." He gave Cas a suggestive wink.

Castiel suddenly understood, and a small shiver ran up his spine at that.

Dean just smirked as he walked over and put the plate aside for a moment. "Just get on the bed, I'll be right there."

The angel nodded and got up on the bed, pushing the blankets aside and sat down with his wings wrapped around himself while he watched Dean undress. He licked his lips when Dean's muscled, naked frame was revealed to him and when he saw how hard his mate was already. Castiel's own cock was hard as well, twitching a bit between his legs, but the angel didn't touch himself. He wanted to wait for Dean.

Once Dean was ready he crawled into bed, making Castiel lie down on his back and spread his wings out for him. The angel's eyes widened nervously for a moment when he saw Dean pull out one of his ties in front of him, and Dean smirked when he saw his mate's expression.

A surge of arousal and thrill spread through Castiel's body as Dean grabbed his wrists and forced his arms up over his head before tying his hands together. He struggled half-heartedly against the restraint and whimpered softly when he realized that his hands were useless now.

Dean just smirked and leaned in to kiss him. Castiel tried to fight for dominance but Dean was vicious so the angel soon surrendered with a small moan and let Dean kiss him as hard and as deep as he pleased. The alpha growled, pleased, and grabbed Castiel by the hair while kissing him fiercely and biting his bottom lip playfully before pulling back.

"Dean…" Castiel said, as if protesting that the demon had pulled away, and Dean's cock twitched between his legs when he saw the angel's lips all red and swollen from their kiss.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you," Dean promised and moved over to grab the plate with the pie and whipped cream.

Castiel writhed on the bed, watching intensely as Dean dipped a finger in the cream and then put that finger into his own mouth to lick it clean. It made the angel whine softly and his wings flare weakly where they were spread out on the bed, since the sight was downright sexy.

Dean just sent him a lopsided grin before leaning over Castiel and began smearing pie and cream on his chest.

Castiel grimaced a bit at the sticky feeling, but he couldn't deny that it was pretty exciting, especially since he knew that Dean was going to clean the stuff off him soon with his tongue.

The demon grinned when he saw the way Cas' dick twitched when he smeared the food across the angel's chest and then his stomach. He could tell that the little food kink turned Cas on, and the angel's twitching wings told him how much he anticipated Dean's next move. He put the plate aside and licked his fingers clean, feeling the angel's intense stare on him as he did so. When Dean glanced at Cas, the angel's pupils were completely dilated and his cheeks were flushed with arousal. Dean smirked at him before moving his other hand down to Cas' mouth, allowing his mate to lick it clean from pie and cream. Castiel immediately did so, darting his tongue over Dean's fingers and hand and licked them clean, and the demon shuddered at the feeling of Cas' tongue on his skin. He pulled away then and quickly wiped his hands in the towel he had put on the edge of the bed.

Once his hands were more or less clean again, Dean leaned down to kiss Castiel once more, pleased when his mate moaned and hummed into the kiss, before Dean slowly began kissing and licking his way down to Cas' jaw and then his neck. He sucked possessively on Castiel's neck, making sure to leave bruises and hickeys, and Castiel's entire body shuddered under him.

"Dean! Ah," Castiel moaned, baring his neck for his alpha. Part of him wanted to protest since it was embarrassing to have others see the marks, but at the same time it was such a turn on. It made him feel desirable and wanted that Dean was marking and claiming him like this, and it made him feel more confident as a submissive; that he still had the power to make Dean go crazy about him and his body even after all these years of being together.

"Mine," Dean growled against the angel's skin, biting at his neck and leaving another bruise before finally moving down towards the pie and cream that covered his mate's body.

Castiel's body jolted when Dean licked the food off his chest and started sucking on his nipple to clean it up. His nipples were sensitive when he was aroused, and Dean sucking on them made him feel shivers of pleasure run up his spine. The angel struggled against the tie that was restraining his hands since he wanted to bury them in Dean's hair, but he couldn't separate his hands.

"Keep your hands above your head," Dean ordered when Castiel was about to bring both his hands down to grab at his hair.

Castiel let out an annoyed, frustrated noise but did as he was told and kept his hands above his head on the bed. "Dean… please," he begged. Dean's mouth and tongue on his skin was almost too much; it was teasing and pleasurable, and Castiel needed more, but Dean was purposefully not touching his wings, his member, his hole, or otherwise giving him the stimulation he was craving.

"Soon, Cas. I wanna taste you first," Dean purred against Castiel's chest and licked the cream off the angel's other nipple, causing the angel to buck and gasp when the demon's tongue teased the small bud. "Nothing better than the taste of my favorite pie combined with my sexy mate. Damn, you both smell and taste so good, angel." He smirked up Castiel before licking the rest of the cream and pie off the angel's chest and then moved down towards his stomach and bellybutton which was also covered in the food.

Castiel gasped and squirmed when Dean's tongue tickled against his skin, and he couldn't help but laugh and kick Dean a bit in response. "Dean, it tickles."

Dean grabbed a hold of Castiel's legs, forcing them to stay still so that they were pressed against Dean's side as he lay with his body between the angel's legs. He smeared some more cream on Castiel's body and began cleaning him up again, humming at the delicious taste and enjoyed the noises coming from Cas' mouth.

Castiel continued to squirm and gasp as Dean licked him clean, and his body shuddered every now and then. He felt completely at Dean's mercy with his hands tied together and his legs held still by Dean.

Dean licked the rest off until there was nothing left, and when he finally pulled back he looked down at Cas and saw the angel breathing heavily with arousal now. The angel's chest and stomach were kind of sticky from the food and Dean's saliva, and Cas' kiss-swollen lips were parted and his pupils were dilated as he stared back up at Dean with his hands tied above his head. It was the most sexy sight that Dean had seen for a long time.

The demon groaned and tried to control himself when a heavy thrill of arousal shot through him, and he tenderly moved his hands up and down Castiel's body, rubbing his stomach and chest and feeling the angel's body shiver at the touch. "So sexy…" he hummed, teasing Castiel's nipples and smirked when the angel bucked up into the touch and let out a pathetic whimper. "Roll over on your stomach now, baby."

Castiel complied, rolling over the best he could with his hands tied and his body feeling weak with arousal. Once he was on his stomach he stretched his arms out in front of him and spread out his wings, trying to glance back at Dean over his shoulder to see what he was doing.

Dean licked his lips and ran his hands up and down Cas' back before paying extra attention to the leaking oil glands. He leaned down and licked at the oily buds with his tongue, listening to Cas sob with need now.

"Dean, stop teasing… I need you."

"But you taste so good…" Dean hummed, licking and sucking a bit at the glands and basked in the honey-like taste.

The angel's wings gave a curt flap on the bed. "Please."

Dean chuckled and pulled back, finally moving down to prepare Cas for intercourse. The angel's hole was slick and wet, and Dean's finger slipped in rather easily before being squeezed tightly by Castiel's clenching muscles.

"Damn, Cas, you're dripping wet," Dean remarked, half surprised. "You really enjoyed that little food kink, huh," he teased, pushing in another finger and began scissoring his mate open.

Castiel groaned into his pillow and shuddered at Dean's words. "Yes, it was quite sensual… And torturous."

"I think it was tasty though," Dean smirked, watching as he stretched the angel's pink hole. Then he leaned down and began licking at Cas' entrance, eager to taste more of what Cas had to offer.

"Dean!" Castiel yelped, gasping loudly when Dean's tongue entered him.

Dean kept the angel still with his hands on Cas' ass while he licked him open. He hummed at the sweet taste of the slick that was pouring out, and it made him growl possessively when knowing that he was the reason that Cas' juices were flowing like this right now.

Castiel panted and dug his fingers into the sheets with his tied hands, desperately trying to grind back into Dean but the demon was holding him still. It was almost too much with all the teasing, and Castiel knew that once Dean was inside him he wouldn't be able to last very long.

Dean pulled away, licking his lips clean before covering Castiel's body with his own, lying on top of him and kissed his neck and shoulder for comfort. Then, he lined himself up and finally pushed into Cas. The angel's channel opened up around him immediately, practically sucking him in, and Dean bit out a small curse of pleasure as he was buried to the hilt inside Cas. His legs were framing Castiel's and his chest was pressed into Castiel's back, although he kept most of his weight off him.

"Oh," Castiel gasped, panting slightly and tried to adjust to the feeling of Dean on top of him with his dick buried in his ass. The position made him feel extra full, and he could feel Dean's dick throbbing and twitching inside of him.

Dean kissed the back of Castiel's shoulder, lying completely still on top of him to let them both enjoy the familiar and intimate feeling of being joined. He reached out through their bond, feeling Cas' happiness and love.

"I love you, Cas," Dean purred into the angel's ear, placing another kiss on Cas' shoulder before slowly and carefully beginning to move.

Castiel gasped when Dean started move. "I love you too, Dean," he replied before letting out another gasp and a moan as Dean's thrusts began increasing a bit. He writhed under Dean, trying to get more comfortable, and Dean eased some of his weight off to let him. He purred when the demon placed tender kisses on shoulder and on his wing, and he could feel their feathers rub against each other.

They gasped and moaned together, and Dean finally untied Castiel's hands only to grab them and pin his hands against the bed on either side of him while he pounded into him with steady thrusts. He entwined his fingers with Cas' as his palms were pressed into the back of Castiel's hands.

"Dean, Dean," Castiel gasped, bucking up into Dean from where he was squeezed under him. "I'm going to come soon," he warned, letting out a pleasured, strangled noise.

"Fuck, me too. You're too fucking tight, Cas," Dean grunted above him. "C'mon, baby, wanna come when I feel you clench around me extra hard when I make you come. Wanna hear your pleasured cries," he purred, nuzzling the back of Castiel's neck affectionately.

Castiel finally came, crying out and jerked hard as he released himself on the sheets under him, squeezing his eyes shut in pleasure. The pleasure was all over his body; in his wings, his oil glands, his member, his hole, and everywhere inside him. He panted through it, feeling Dean's wings press hard into his own and trapping them, but also providing comfort as his body exploded with sensations and pleasure. He listened to Dean's pleasured cry as the alpha came right after him, and gasped when he felt Dean's rhythm falter and his ass being flooded with warm fluid, filling him up. Castiel lay his head down on his pillow with a pleased smile, waiting for Dean's pleasure to be over and listened to the moans coming from the alpha.

Castiel's body was completely sated and exhausted from his orgasm, and it felt slightly strange and overwhelming when Dean very slowly and gingerly thrust into him as the demon was lying on top of him and trying to calm down from the post-orgasmic bliss.

When Dean pulled away Castiel whimpered at the empty feeling in his ass. The angel shuddered and hummed softly as he felt Dean's tail move over his entrance and press Dean's come back into him, but he flinched a bit when the tip of the tail slipped into his exhausted body.

"Dean, please don't… I'm too oversensitive," Castiel murmured, too lazy to move.

Dean just smirked and pushed his tail in a bit further, swirling it around teasingly before pulling out when Cas gasped and flinched at the action. "Sorry, but my tail gets jealous sometimes; it wants a piece of your sweet ass too." He gave Cas' ass a small smack at that, grinning and chuckling like an idiot.

Castiel huffed loudly at that and rolled his eyes, and Dean laughed warmly before cleaning them up and unlocked the door.

Dean slipped into bed soon afterwards, and Castiel let himself be pulled into Dean's arms. They wrapped their wings around each other, and Dean's tail – which he had just cleaned – rubbed soothingly against the angel's leg as they lay together.

"Cas?" Dean suddenly asked after a few moments.

"Mm?"

"I, uh, wanted to thank you. For still being with me and loving me, and still baking me pie on my birthdays. I don't think that every alpha is as lucky as me."

Castiel blinked and looked up at Dean who was averting his eyes with a small blush.

"You're welcome, Dean," Castiel smiled. "And I'm lucky to have you as well. I couldn't stop loving you even if I wanted."

Dean's arms squeezed around him. "Well, hopefully you'd never want to." His voice was possessive and very determined, and it made Castiel laugh softly.

"And I think you had too much pie and sugar. Your manliness is threatened by this conversation," the angel teased, chuckling smugly as Dean groaned in response.

"Yeah, I had too much pie. But it was a damn good pie, and it tasted extra good on you."

"I bet it did," Castiel huffed and snuggled closer into Dean, lying with his head under Dean's chin now. "Please call officer Mills tomorrow. I really want this threat against us to stop…" he murmured, thinking about the stalker and the vandalism again.

"Don't worry, I'll call Jody tomorrow and have her help. I won't let those bastards hurt you or the kids." Deans arms tightened around the angel and covered him with his wing under their blankets.

"I know," Castiel said, closing his arms and preparing to sleep. After a few moments he spoke again. "Dean?"

"Yeah?" Dean replied sleepily, not bothering to open his eyes which were heavy with the need to sleep.

"Happy birthday again."

Dean smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of Cas' head.

They fell asleep soon after that, wrapped up in each other's arms.

Author's notes: Okay so I'm planning to write a small scene in a few chapters from now in which Noah explores his body, and I got mostly positive feedback on the idea. He'll be 15 (almost 16) in that scene but he'll be above the legal age of consent since in my story you have to be 15 in California to have sex (I found out it's actually 18 in that state, but I honestly thought it was 15 so I mentioned it several times earlier in the story… But since it's my story I can change it how I want). Noah will be 16 when I write his first time (and possibly more scenes as well?) but it's still underage so I advise my readers to simply skip those parts if you are not comfortable with it.

Anyway, thanks for all your support so far! It really makes writing worth it :) Thanks for reading, please review!
