July 2042 (Castiel is 52 (almost 53), Dean is 54, Eden is 28 (almost 29), Adrian is 25, the twins are 21, Noah is 16, Jayden is 17 (almost 18), Jason is 29, Daniel is 3, Natalie is 24, Tony is 22, Jo is 53, Tom is 55, Mary is 76, John is 78 years old).
Thursday the 17th of July Castiel was looking forward to going home from work in an hour. It was 3:17pm and it was awfully hot even though his workplace had the air conditioner turned on. Warm air from the open doors seeped in, and whenever he and Anna went outside for a little break it felt like he was going to melt.
Castiel was concentrating on forming the sculpture's hands while Anna was working on the feet, when suddenly his cell phone rang from in his bag under their work table. Castiel quickly took off his gloves which were covered in foam before he went over to pick up his phone, hoping to make it before the person hung up.
"Hello?" he said into the phone, having been too busy to pick it up on time to see who was calling.
"Hi, papa," came Eden's voice from the other end, and Castiel immediately became a bit alerted when he could hear her groan in pain. "I… The baby is coming, so Jason is getting me to the hospital soon. Can you please meet us there and take care of Daniel for us?" She let out another pained groan, obviously experiencing a contraction.
"Of course. We will be there as soon as we can," Castiel replied, feeling mildly freaked out since his daughter was in labor right now and was going to have a baby. "Be strong, Eden, I will see you soon."
"Yeah, thanks. Bye, papa," Eden replied, a smile in her voice before she hung up.
Anna gasped excitedly next to him as Castiel hung up with a smile on his face. "Was that Eden calling? Is the baby coming?"
"Yes, Eden is going to have her baby," Castiel grinned, feeling excited as well. The baby was supposed to have been born two days ago so it was a little late, actually. "I'm going to ask Mr. Richings for permission to leave early. I hope you can handle the sculpture by yourself until tomorrow?"
"Oh of course! Go, go!" Anna grinned, ushering him out of there with quick flicks of her hands.
Castiel quickly headed over to his boss' office to ask him permission to leave early, hoping his boss wouldn't mind.
Mr. Richings stared at him before saying, "What are you wasting your time asking me for? Go, damnit! Greet that grandkid of yours and be with your family. And congratulations." He grinned widely at Castiel as he spoke.
Castiel was kind of taken aback by that reaction but he was very grateful that he was allowed to leave, even though they had been pretty busy lately. "Thank you very much, sir. I will be back to work again tomorrow," he said, saying goodbye to his boss and hurried out of there. He made a call to Dean about it and asked him to pick him up, grinning when the demon was just as excited as him and would come to pick him up soon.
Dean picked him up ten minutes later and together they hurried home to get Noah and the twins before driving off to the hospital. They were lucky that the kids were staying home that day and hadn't gone out to visit friends, and everyone was excited and cheerful as they headed to the hospital to be with Eden.
A nurse in the hospital's reception told them where to find Eden, and they all hurried off towards her room in the other end of the hospital.
When they reached the room Eden was sitting back against the headboard of the bed, dressed in a hospital grown, and was breathing and panting hard as she struggled with the contractions. Jason was sitting by her left side and holding her hand while trying to calm down Daniel who had stayed home from daycare that day.
Eden beamed when she saw her parents and siblings enter the room. "Oh thank god. Daniel is freaking out pretty bad, and Jason's doesn't want to leave my side, so…"
Castiel smiled and picked up Daniel when the toddler cried and ran over towards him with spread arms. The boy calmed down when he was up in Castiel's arms, and the angel gently rubbed his back. "Shh, it's okay, Daniel," Castiel gently soothed the boy. He looked over at Eden in mild worry then. "How are you doing?"
Noah and the twins were looking over at Eden with concerned faces, and they greeted Jason who was staying by Eden's side.
"I'm okay. It just hurts like a bitch," Eden groaned, her body and wings tensing as the contraction kept shooting through her.
"Where did Charlie go? Did she just abandon you?" Dean asked, walking over to be by Eden's right side.
"She just went out for a moment but said she'll be back soon," Jason explained, rubbing Eden's hand for comfort. He looked over at Daniel who was a bit more calm now. "I was outside in the corridor with Daniel for a bit while Charlie attended to Eden, but then Charlie left and I went back in here with Daniel and he started crying. He can tell that Eden is hurting and he doesn't like it…"
"Aww, poor boy," Lily cooed and rubbed Daniel's back gently as toddler was resting against Cas' chest with his head on the angel's shoulder. Daniel was still sobbing and whimpering, but he was more calm now.
"Are you kidding me? I'd be freaked out too if my mom was gonna push out a baby between her legs soon," Isaac said. He froze for a second before glancing between Castiel and Noah. "Uh, actually, that did happen to me once. And I did freak out, if I remember right." He grinned stupidly.
Castiel scowled a bit at him while Noah shifted awkwardly. Dean was laughing and Jason and Lily were snickering.
"Jeez, Isaac. You're not a very good comfort here!" Eden growled at him.
"Yeah, both you and Lily were crying and snotting everywhere until your grandma mentioned food. Then you were all hyped up and eager to leave the room," Dean told Isaac, grinning as he thought back to the day Noah was born. "Eden and Adrian were very calm about it, actually."
"Well, we were older," Eden smiled, rubbing her pregnant stomach and grimaced when she shifted on the bed to find a better position, only to feel her back protest at it. The contraction was over now, but she knew another one could hit soon.
"Fuck, I'm glad I'm never gonna have to push a baby out of my ass – or vagina, if I had one," Isaac murmured. "Must hurt like a bitch."
"You're still not helping!" Eden snapped at him, her feathers puffing out in frustration.
Jason squeezed her hand tighter. "Shhh, don't get worked up over Isaac. It isn't good for you." He couldn't keep the chuckle out of his voice since the situation was pretty amusing.
Lily crossed her arms and glared at her twin. "It's too bad you can't give birth. Maybe the pain would make you be more considerate and stop joking about it."
"Indeed," Castiel murmured, making Dean chuckle next to him and wrap his tail around his leg.
Noah nodded, agreeing with Castiel and Lily. Neither he or Lily had given birth yet but they both dreaded the pain that would come whenever it was their turn.
"Hey, it's not like I'm making fun of it or anything," Isaac protested. "And Eden is gonna have to deliver that baby anyway, so it doesn't matter what I say."
"But she needs support, not your damn jokes," Lily groaned out, rolling her eyes.
Isaac was about to speak when Charlie suddenly showed up. She stopped in the doorway when she noticed the crowd in the room, and she looked between all of them with a happy smirk. "Oh hey, guys. Long time no see," she grinned at Dean and Castiel. "Coming to offer support to Eden?" she asked, walking into the room and stopped at the foot of Eden's bed to write down some notes. She was older now, 54 years old, and her face was getting a little wrinkled since she was human and aged faster than angels and demons. Her hair still had a bright red color since she was dying it regularly.
"Of course. Can't leave my girl alone when she's in pain," Dean grinned and glanced over at Eden with a soft smile. Eden smiled back, her tail curling happily next to her on the bed.
"And Daniel was quite upset, she told us," Castiel added, rocking Daniel who was still a bit grumpy and confused about the situation.
"Ah yes, he was crying quite badly when they arrived and Eden was in pain," Charlie said, glancing between all the kids with a smile before looking at Eden. "And how are you now? Still contractions?"
"Yeah, another one just ended a few minutes ago…" Eden replied. She was a little sweaty from the summer heat and the pain from the contractions. It made her feel moist and disgusting, and she couldn't wait for it to be over so she could take a shower and rest.
"Well, I estimate the baby is likely going to arrive within the next six hours, judging from how dilated you were when I checked you earlier," Charlie spoke. She turned to look at the others. "And I'm gonna have to ask you guys to leave for now…" She smiled apologetically at them.
"Of course, no problem," Dean spoke, turning to pick up the bag that Eden and Jason had brought with them which contained some stuff for Daniel such as diapers and wet tissues.
Castiel turned to Eden. "Can you and Jason handle this on our own this time?" he asked softly.
Eden smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think we'll be okay."
"I know what's gonna happen this time so I'm not gonna as freaked out as last time," Jason chuckled.
"Don't be so sure," Dean said. "When the birth starts you always freak out a bit."
"Well, I guess that's true…" Jason murmured.
Eden rolled her eyes. "Well, I still think he'll handle it better this time. I know I will. But thank you, papa." She smiled up at Castiel. "If I need you in here anyway, I'll give you a call."
"Alright. Good luck, Eden," Castiel smiled.
Eden turned her smile to Daniel then. "Bye, Danny. Be nice to grandma and grandpa," she spoke softly, waving goodbye at her son.
Daniel turned in Cas' arms to look at his mother when he found out that he would be leaving the room without his mother and his father. He whined and spread out his arms towards Eden since he wanted to go back to his mother, but Castiel held him firmly. "Wanna go to mommy," he cried.
"I know, sweetie, but mommy is busy. You will her see her and your daddy again soon," Castiel told Daniel softly.
"Yeah, go be with grandma, grandpa, and your uncles and aunt until then," Jason spoke in a soft voice and waved goodbye at Daniel.
Daniel pouted and whined a bit as Castiel took him out of the room, and the others wished Eden good luck before leaving. Charlie smiled at them and watched them leave before turning her attention back to Eden and Jason.
"Are we going to the cafeteria?" Isaac asked eagerly after they went outside into the hallway.
"Yeah, I guess we are," Dean spoke. "And Cas and I will pay, so don't bring out your wallets," he added when he noticed Lily searching her pockets.
"Woohoo! Dad and papa are gonna give us candy and soda! Thanks, dad," Isaac grinned and nudged Dean's arm.
"Hey, I didn't say that!"
"You kinda did," Lily chuckled.
"He didn't actually say 'candy', though," Noah argued.
"But he said we were going to the cafeteria, and in Isaac's mind that equals candy and soda," Lily pointed out, smirking at Noah before wrapping her arm around his shoulders and walked side by side with him towards the hospital's corridors. Noah smiled and let their wings touch, enjoying the close contact with his big sister.
"Everything equals candy in Isaac's mind," Dean snorted.
"There's no joy in life without candy!" Isaac argued, shoving Dean lightly who just laughed at him.
Castiel smiled as he watched Isaac and Dean who were walking in front of him briefly entwine tails after that, enjoying a small father/son moment. Castiel put Daniel down on his feet again as they walked towards the hospital's cafeteria. Daniel grinned and held Cas' hand all the way to the cafeteria, and grabbed a hold of Noah's hand as well. Noah smiled down at him and brushed his wing against Daniel in affection, making the boy grin more.
They found some nice seats in the cafeteria and sat down, ordering some brownies, sandwiches, cocoa, and soda to eat and drink. Dean bought a small bag of candy for them to share too since Isaac wouldn't shut up about it.
All Daniel's worries about his mother disappeared as soon as he was presented with a brownie and some cocoa, and the others laughed as he dug in eagerly and ended up with brownie sticking to his face all the way up to his ears.
"You are a such a little pig," Castiel said fondly and wiped Daniel's mouth and hands with a tissue from Eden and Jason's bag. The boy was sitting on his lap by the table and Castiel was careful that Daniel didn't fall off him.
"He's adorable, though," Lily grinned.
"One more?" Daniel asked, leaning his head back to glance up at Cas when he had finished his brownie. His little wings twitched behind him eagerly.
"Um," Castiel started, about to rise from his chair to get another one before Noah suddenly cut in.
"He can have mine," Noah said, pushing his brownie over to Daniel. "I think my sandwich will be enough for me."
"You're giving up your brownie?! Are you mad?" Isaac gasped, acting as if Noah had just said something completely blasphemous. Noah just chuckled at him.
"Thanks!" Daniel chirped at Noah with a grin and dug his fingers into the brownie to eat it piece by piece.
"Daniel, don't use your fingers," Dean told him firmly. Daniel froze before taking the brownie in his hands and guided it up to his mouth instead. "That's better," Dean smiled. Daniel just grinned at him, his mouth full of brownie.
"I hope Eden will be okay…" Lily murmured, shifting nervously and sipped a bit from her red soda.
Isaac shrugged. "She's tried it before, and papa has done it five times so it can't be that bad. She'll be fine."
"I kinda wish Adrian was here too," Noah murmured, almost finished with his sandwich now. "He said he wanted to be here, but Natalie is also almost about to have her baby, so…"
"He'll see the baby soon enough," Dean smiled. He glanced briefly around the cafeteria at the other people in there. A few people looked their way sometimes but mostly they seemed to mind their own business. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that most of the others around them were human and thus often less racist about angel/demon couples and hybrids. There were a few other kids in there too, though they were older than Daniel.
"I hope Natalie can handle it. It's her first baby, after all," Lily spoke.
"As I said: I'm glad I'm never gonna give birth," Isaac murmured. "And judging from how lovey-dovey Noah and Jayden have been lately, I wouldn't be surprised if they are gonna have babies soon too." He glanced over at Noah who almost chocked on his sandwich.
"Isaac," Lily scowled at him.
Noah blushed like mad and stared into his lap.
"He's 16," Dean reminded Isaac with a small growl.
"Hopefully they will wait until they have finished college," Castiel said, a small smile on his lips, and watched as Daniel finished up the brownie and got his hands and face dirty again.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Jo and Tom arrived an hour later when they had finished at work and driven over from the other town where they lived. It had been a little while since they had all seen each other, and Jo was just as excited as Cas to be a grandmother again. Jason's sister Emma wasn't there since she was living further away now.
At 7:10pm they got the news that Eden had finally given birth to her baby. They quickly went up to her room at the hospital to be with her and see the newborn.
Eden was sitting back against the bed with the baby wrapped up in a blanket in her arms, and she and Jason were looking fondly and happily at their new baby. The others came over and stared curiously down at the little newborn, and Eden shifted the baby a bit so that everyone could see her.
The baby was born with mostly white feathers and there were some red feathers here and there in different nuances. Although Eden's wings resembled mostly demon wings, a child could easily display some of the angel genes that Eden had, and white, brown, and grey feathers ran in the family. The baby's wings were smaller than normal angel and demon wings since human hybrids always had shorter wings. The little girl also had a tail, which her big brother didn't have. She looked like she was an angel/demon hybrid, if not for the shorter wings.
"Ohh, she's so beautiful," Lily grinned, staring at her little niece in awe.
"Yes, she truly is," Castiel smiled, gently reaching down to stroke his thumb across the baby's small hand which was curled into a fist. He was overwhelmed with happiness when seeing his new little granddaughter for the first time, and his happiness grew when Dean wrapped an arm around his waist as he too stared down at the little baby girl. They could feel each other's excitement and pride of being grandparents through their bond and it only made them feel happier.
"Of course she is; she has some of my genes in her," Jo grinned, standing on the other side of the bed and stared proudly down at her granddaughter.
Jason sat on Eden's left side with Jo and Tom standing behind him, and Daniel was sitting on Jason's lap and trying to climb onto the bed to get a better look at the baby.
"Hey, she's also got some of mine, and all my kids are gorgeous," Dean pointed out, scowling over at Jo.
Tom laughed at them, always finding Dean and Jo's dynamics amusing.
"Aw, you flatter me, dad," Isaac grinned, laughing when Dean slapped his tail against his and huffed.
Noah chuckled at them but couldn't move his eyes away from the beautiful baby that Eden was holding. His wings flared in joy, feeling happy for his sister and was mildly jealous of her. He loved children and he certainly wouldn't mind having some of his own someday. He was pretty sure Jayden wouldn't mind either. It made him blush as he caught himself thinking about future kids with Jayden.
"I think he was mostly complementing Eden, Noah, me, and perhaps also Adrian," Lily spoke, smirking at Isaac.
"Hey! I'm not ugly! Do you have any idea how many people have gotten laid with me 'cause they think I look good?" Isaac retorted and glared at his twin.
Jo laughed. "Wow, his self-esteem certainly isn't damaged," she grinned. Tom chuckled.
Lily grimaced at Isaac's words. "Too many… You should find a girlfriend or a boyfriend soon and get a proper relationship."
Eden chuckled at them. "I agree with that. It would do you good, Isaac."
Isaac crossed his arms and sulked a bit. "Well, I haven't really met anyone good for that yet…"
"You just haven't looked hard enough," Tom told him, making Isaac consider his words a bit.
Dean stared down at Eden and the baby with a soft smile. "What are you going to name her? Any good names in mind for that little asskicker?"
The others laughed at that, and Eden and Jason chuckled before sharing a look.
Daniel was now sitting on his knees next to Eden and staring curiously at the baby. He was sitting a bit on top of Eden's feathers but she didn't mind it much.
"We've been thinking a bit about names lately…" Jason started. "And there was one name we both liked a lot. And I think it suits her." He smiled down at the baby and reached over to gently touch her little feet which were sticking out a bit from the blanket she was wrapped in.
"Oh? What name is that?" Jo prompted.
Eden smiled and looked down at her baby, stroking the baby's cheek lovingly. "Luna. We like the name Luna for her."
"That's a very nice name," Castiel smiled.
"Yeah, I like it too," Lily grinned.
The others agreed, and Eden and Jason decided to stick with the name.
After a few minutes Luna began crying, showing that she was hungry, and the others politely left the room for a few minutes to give Eden and Jason some peace and let Eden feed the baby for the first time.
They stayed at the hospital until 9pm, watching the baby and talking with Jo and Tom until it was time to leave. Eden and Jason took Luna home the same night since it was their second baby and they could go home right away because the baby was healthy and had no complications.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The family was happy to have gotten another member in it, and Dean and Castiel had dropped by at Eden's place the next day to see how she and the baby were doing. Luna was healthy, and every time Castiel looked at her he could feel happy tears prickling in his eyes, since she was the evidence that his daughter was happy and life was moving on. Eden and Jason were both very proud of their daughter, and Daniel seemed to be rather proud too; he kept grabbing at their hands and leading them over to look at Luna, eagerly telling them that she was his sister.
On Saturday the 20th of July, Natalie's baby finally arrived. Dean and Castiel got the call at 8:30am from Adrian that Natalie had gone into labor during the night and would have the baby soon, and once again they drove off to be there for the birth of one of their grandchildren. Noah and the twins joined, but Eden and Jason would first be seeing Adrian and his daughter later since they were a little busy with their own newborn at the moment and couldn't join.
When they arrived at the hospital in L.A. at 10:03am (after having eaten breakfast and driven through the heavy traffic), Natalie had already given birth. Adrian was sitting next to her bed, and the two were staring mesmerized at their first baby, completely in awe over the little life they had created together. Natalie's father – an alpha angel in his forties named Ryan – was also present, and it was the third time that Dean and Castiel met him.
"Hey," Adrian greeted them with a grin when his family entered the hospital room. He got up and went over to greet and hug them. "I'm glad you could come," he said, hugging Castiel tightly.
"Of course we came," Castiel smiled and hugged him. "And congratulations on the baby."
"Thanks, papa," Adrian grinned and pulled back before hugging his dad and his siblings too. They all congratulated him and Adrian had never been prouder.
Castiel shook Ryan's hand and greeted him before going over to Natalie to congratulate her.
"Thanks, guys," Natalie grinned at them when they all congratulated her as well and came over to look at the baby she was holding. It was a girl like Eden's baby was, and the baby had completely white feathers but no tail. Natalie was smiling proudly down at her baby as she showed her to the others.
"Aww she's so cute and pretty. A lot like Eden's baby," Lily grinned.
"Yeah, she's really adorable," Noah smiled.
"Eden told me on the phone about little Luna. I can't wait to see her," Adrian spoke, still with a proud grin on his face now that he was a father. He went back over to sit down next to Natalie, and his mate smiled lovingly at him after Adrian had leaned in to kiss her quickly.
"You have evenly beautiful babies," Castiel smiled. "And how are you feeling?" he asked Natalie.
"I'm good. Kinda tired and sore… And Adrian was totally freaking out earlier," Natalie grinned, looking at Adrian.
"I was not!" Adrian immediately denied.
Ryan laughed and patted Adrian's shoulder as he stood next to him. "No worries, it's normal to freak out when your mate is giving birth. It means you care."
Isaac laughed out loud. "Aww, Adrian was freaking out! Poor, tough Adrian can't handle witnessing a birth," he grinned.
Adrian scowled over at him. "I'd like to see you keep a calm face if you had to witness it."
Lily crossed her arms and glared at Isaac. "Yeah, me too…"
"And if he ever does have kids I hope his mate will kicks his ass the hell out of the room if he doesn't behave," Dean cut in, smirking at Isaac teasingly. Noah snickered at that.
"Shut up," Isaac grumbled, sulking softly.
"And I don't think we've told you our baby's name yet," Natalie suddenly said, smiling between all of them.
"No, you haven't. What is it?" Castiel asked, feeling curious now.
"We're naming her Maya, after my mother," Natalie smiled, looking from Castiel and over to her dad whose eyes widened with tears at that.
"That's… very pretty," Ryan smiled, looking rather touched by that. Natalie's mother had died when Natalie was 9 years old; she had had a very bad case of cancer that the doctors couldn't fight. After that Ryan had been left alone with Natalie and her two older brothers who were now living in the other part of the state and thus weren't there at the moment to see their little niece. They would be coming over in a few days, though.
"The name suits her," Dean smiled, looking down at the little baby who was squirming and whining softly, looking as if she was about to cry.
The others liked the name too, and Natalie gently shushed little Maya when the baby cried softly and squirmed in her arms.
"I'm not too used to babies," Natalie admitted, looking mildly freaked out.
"I'm sure you will do fine. I can tell your motherly instincts are already kicking in," Castiel smiled, offering her some reassurance.
"And I have 3 younger siblings so I know a little bit about handling babies. And the parent training we participated at taught us both a lot," Adrian said from the chair on Natalie's other side. The baby continued to cry and Natalie handed her over to Adrian who shushed the baby gently. It didn't help that much since the baby was hungry and needed to be fed soon.
Natalie looked up Dean and Castiel and asked, "If it's okay with you, we'd like to drop by next weekend with little Maya. Eden told us on the phone that she was planning on taking Daniel and little Luna with her over to your place next weekend too, and we'd love to see each other's babies."
"Of course, you're always welcome at our house," Castiel told her with a kind smile.
"Remember to bring diapers and stuff," Dean grinned.
Natalie grinned and nodded, and the others went outside to chat a bit with Ryan, and Adrian stayed behind with Natalie while she fed the baby.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
On the next weekend almost all the family would be coming over to Dean and Castiel's house. Eden and Jason would be coming with Daniel and little Luna, and Adrian and Natalie were coming with little Maya. Everyone was looking forward to seeing the two new additions to the family again or for the first time, and Mary and John were also coming over to see their great-grandkids.
Dean and Castiel's holidays started that Saturday and they would have three weeks off. Castiel had already stopped taking his suppressants on Thursday so that his heat would kick in in around 7-10 days. He and Dean would be going to a lake house in northern California next week to ride out his heat there and have Noah and the twins join them when it was over.
Saturday was the day when everyone was coming over, and Jayden had slept over at the house that night. He and Noah had spent most of the week together, mostly at Jayden's house, but had also gone out to watch movies in the cinema. They almost couldn't go a few days without being together, and Noah wasn't looking forward to being apart from Jayden when they would both join their parents on vacation soon.
Noah and Jayden lay in Noah's bed that morning, the alpha on top of Noah and thrusting into him slowly. They panted and moaned together, and Noah was holding onto Jayden's shoulders and grasping some of his softened feathers while his legs were locked around Jayden's waist. The alpha was fucking into him in slow, sensual thrusts, beginning to go a bit faster while he kissed and nibbled at Noah's bared neck, his breath coming out in sharp puffs against Noah's skin while their bodies were joined and moving together in the throes of passion and love.
Noah leaned his head back against his pillow, a needy moan coming from his throat as his boyfriend kissed him tenderly on the exposed skin and kept moving into him. It was their fifth time having sex now and Noah's body was getting used to the intrusion. It didn't feel so sore after having Jayden inside him anymore, as long as he was properly wet and stretched.
"Ahh, Jayden," Noah moaned, feeling himself getting closer to climax as Jayden sped up a bit. He could sense that Jayden was close too because his thrusts became a little harder and faster, getting more desperate.
"Mmm," Jayden hummed into Noah's neck, burying his hand in Noah's feathers and drew a sharp moan from him.
"Harder," Noah grunted, clawing at Jayden's back as if trying to pull him closer.
Jayden complied with a lustful groan, snapping his hips forward somewhat harder, going all the way in with each thrust. He loved the surprised, sharp gasp coming from Noah at the first hard thrust, and he continued kissing and sucking lightly on his boyfriend's neck, trying not to leave too many marks that could be seen by the family.
Noah was always overwhelmed by how much Jayden filled him up and how delicious and intimate it felt. The feeling of having Jayden all the way inside him, his muscles clenching down hard around the moving cock that filled up every inch of him, and the way Jayden was touching and kissing him was enough to bring him over the final edge. He tried to hold back his cry of pleasure as he came, his body shaking and jerking helplessly under Jayden's as pleasure took over his body and ran through him in hot waves.
"Ahh," Jayden grunted, letting out a long groan as he too came, spilling himself deep inside Noah's body and felt his boyfriend's hand move soothingly over his back while he rode out his orgasm, as always taken aback by how violent and glorious it was when he was with Noah.
They gasped and panted through the finals of their climaxes, holding onto each other and enjoying the skin-on-skin contact between them. Jayden gently nuzzled Noah's neck and jaw, purring softly against him until his body had calmed down again. He pulled back a little to look at Noah and the two shared a happy, loving smile before Jayden gently pulled out and rolled over to lie on his side next to Noah.
Noah immediately snuggled up against Jayden, glad that they had placed a towel under him so that Jayden's come wouldn't mess up his sheets when it leaked out of him. He hummed contently as Jayden wrapped his arms and his wing around him.
"Mm, that was nice," Noah smiled, nuzzling a bit into Jayden's chest. He closed his eyes and dwelled in the satisfying feeling that spread through his body and his ass. Not being a virgin anymore made Noah really happy, because he got to give it away to the one person he loved in the most intimate way and continually share his body with him. He loved the intimacy that sex provided. It made him feel closer to Jayden in so many ways and not just physically.
"Yeah, it was," Jayden smiled, holding Noah close. "Do you feel sore?" he asked, feeling a bit worried since the first three times had made Noah feel a bit uncomfortable afterwards. The fourth time had been better though.
"Not really, but I do feel that you have, um, been inside me. I guess that's normal," Noah said, blushing a bit.
"Yeah, it probably is. As long as you aren't hurting… But I did tell you we should have waited until tonight so that you wouldn't sit down with a grimace all day while your family is here."
Noah raised his head and looked up at Jayden with a small pout. "But I didn't want to wait. I like having sex with you; it's very addicting."
Jayden grinned and moved his hand through Noah's feathers. "I like it too. And it's indeed very addicting." He leaned in and kissed Noah who hummed against his lips and kissed him back. "You are very addicting," Jayden purred when they pulled away, smiling tenderly at Noah before he leaned in and kissed Noah's neck.
Noah laughed and shied a bit away from Jayden's mouth on his sensitive skin tickled a little.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, startling them both.
"If you wanna have some breakfast before the guests are coming, you should get up soon," came Dean's muffled voice from the other side of the locked door.
"We're coming!" Noah shouted back, groaning before snuggling into Jayden's warm body again. "I don't wanna get up…" he murmured against his boyfriend.
Jayden chuckled fondly and held Noah close. "Me neither, but it's like 11 already."
"Ugh, okay, let's get up…" Noah murmured, reluctantly getting out of Jayden's embrace to get cleaned up and get dressed.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Adrian and Eden arrived at almost the same time with their mates and children. Eden and Jason had just entered the house with Daniel and Luna when Adrian's car pulled up in the driveway behind Jason's.
The entrance hall and the living room were flooded with people who were all eager to see the newborns again, and Eden and Natalie grinned as they looked at each other's babies.
"She's gorgeous," Eden grinned at Maya, handing Luna over to Jason for a bit while she paid some attention to Adrian's and Natalie's baby while they were standing in the entrance hall. "She looks more like you," she chuckled, looking at Natalie.
"I hope that's a good thing," Natalie chuckled back.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Adrian grumbled behind her. He leaned in and kissed Natalie's neck, making it tickle on purpose. She laughed and tried to squirm away from him.
"It is a good thing," Eden grinned, winking teasingly at Adrian who just rolled his eyes at her before greeting his parents, his siblings, Jayden and Tony, and then turned to Jason and the baby. Bella was walking between them, eager to greet and get attention from all of them, and her wagging tail bumped into their legs and wings all the time.
"Oh, you finally got one with a tail," Adrian grinned and smiled down at Luna. "She's very pretty."
"Thanks," Jason grinned, rocking the baby a bit when she sobbed softly and gently put the pacifier back into her mouth.
Both Luna and Maya were still very small since they were only about a week old. They barely had any eyebrows or eyelashes yet, and their wings were tiny and covered in downy feathers. Their eyes were mostly closed while they rested in their parents' arms.
"She can't have gotten that from Eden," Isaac remarked. He gave a rather unmanly shriek and laughed before hiding himself behind Jayden when Eden gave him the darkest, most evil glare ever and ran after him.
"Take that back, you brat!" Eden growled, trying to chase Isaac around Jayden who was standing in the living room just in front of the doorway to the entrance hall. Daniel hid behind Dean, staring wide-eyed at his mother before beginning to laugh.
Jayden just stood still, a lightly surprised expression on his face before it turned into amusement. He pressed his wings closer to his body so that Eden and Isaac wouldn't bump into them as they chased each other around him. Eden wasn't moving too fast since she had just given birth a week before and still needed to recover, but she was utterly annoyed with her little brother at the moment.
"Damnit, Jayden! You gotta help me!" Isaac complained when Eden almost managed to grab him.
"Sorry, but I think I'm more on Eden's side in this case," Jayden chuckled.
The others were laughing their asses off, including Noah and Castiel, although Castiel still couldn't help but be embarrassed about his kids' childish behavior.
"Thank you," Eden told Jayden while keeping her attention on her annoying little brother.
"Traitor!" Isaac growled at him. Eden finally grabbed on to him and pulled his ears like he was a misbehaving child, making Isaac struggle and murmur out a pained series of 'ow-ow-ow'. Bella was still wagging her tail furiously, hyped up by Eden and Isaac's little chasing-game.
"Jeez, it's like a kindergarten," Tony laughed.
"I'm so embarrassed…" Lily groaned, but Tony just grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Luna began crying, immediately making Eden's attention turn away from Isaac. She went over to Jason and gently picked Luna from his arms, cooing soft words at her crying baby. "Shh, it's okay, sweetie. It was just mommy and your stupid uncle making noise."
"Who are you calling stupid?" Isaac grumbled, glaring at her before turning his glare to Jayden. "And I'm gonna call you 'Connor' from now on since you betrayed me!"
Jayden made displeased grimace. "Please don't…"
Adrian laughed at that, and Noah grinned at his boyfriend and came over to take Jayden's hand.
"Stop hating your name so much," Noah told him softly, a small grin on his face as he looked up at Jayden.
Jayden's grimace deepened, making Noah laugh softly at him.
Dean picked up Daniel when the boy spread his arms and asked to be picked up, and the two grinned at each other. Daniel laughed loudly and struggled when Dean playfully started to act like he was going to eat him, and Castiel chuckled happily at them.
"Perhaps we should go outside? The weather is nice and we are going to be a lot of people here today… Mary and John should be coming over soon as well," Castiel spoke.
"Can't wait to see grandma and grandpa again. It's been a while," Adrian smiled, standing next to Natalie and smiled down at little Maya who was lying calmly in her mother's arms.
"Me too. It's been so long," Lily smiled.
They went outside to the terrace, and Dean brought out a few extra chairs from the kitchen so that everyone could have a seat.
Daniel immediately ran down into the garden, grinning excitedly to have all that open space for himself. Bella ran after him and Daniel started throwing some of the dog toys around to make Bella get them for him. He found it pretty amusing how she would pick anything up that he threw. Eden sat with Luna while Jason stayed on his feet to keep an eye on Daniel and making sure he didn't get hurt somehow.
The parasol over the table provided shade from the sharp sun, which was important for the little babies' sensitive skin.
Before Natalie sat down, she smiled and went over to Castiel with little Maya. "Would you like to hold her?"
Castiel stared at her before he smiled widely. "I would love to."
Natalie smiled and gently moved her baby over into Castiel's more experienced arms, and the angel quickly made Maya get comfortable before he smiled down at her lovingly. Dean came over to look as well, and they both grinned proudly down at Adrian's firstborn child. It felt kind of surreal for them both that they had three grandchildren now, but they were happy about it.
"Maybe dad wants to hold Luna then?" Eden asked, smiling over at her father.
Dean grinned widely. "Are you kidding me? Give her here." He spread out his hands, and Eden laughed before going over and gently put Luna into her father's arms.
Noah watched the scene with a happy grin, enjoying the family time and that Eden and Adrian were both happy and proud about their babies. He grabbed Jayden's hand unconsciously and squeezed it lightly while watching his parents hold his little nieces. Jayden just smiled and curled his tail lovingly around Noah's leg, not caring that some of the others smiled knowingly at them.
Lily smiled at the babies before looking up at Tony. "When we graduate and get jobs, I wanna have a baby too."
Tony's eyes widened and his cheeks flushed, but he certainly didn't look like he was against the idea. "Yeah, me too," he finally said, smiling lovingly (but shyly) at Lily.
"Jeez! Anything else you'd like to share about your sex life in front of us all?" Isaac remarked sarcastically and made puking noises.
The others laughed out loud and Lily glared briefly at her twin.
After Castiel and Dean had both held Luna and Maya, the babies were carefully shifted from arm to arm so that the others could hold them as well. Daniel came back up the terrace to see and he was quite eager to catch a glimpse of Maya. Bella was once again walking between them to seek attention.
Lily and Tony stared adoringly at the babies as they held them, where Isaac was a bit more wary at first (since he was still afraid to accidentally drop one of them), before he starting making goofy noises and faces. He was a little disappointed that the babies were still too young to properly react to that.
Finally it was Noah's turn to hold Luna, and Eden carefully guided the baby over into his arms and reminded him how to hold her. Noah quickly got a hold of it, making sure to support the girl's head, and smiled lovingly down at the softly cooing baby. "Hi, Luna," he cooed softly with a gentle smile. Jayden stood next to him, grinning down at the little baby in his boyfriend's arms. Jayden's tail curled as he watched how natural Noah looked with the baby in his arms and how it suited him.
"Have you held a baby before?" Adrian asked Jayden as he stood with Maya in his arms in front of the demon.
Jayden blinked at him in mild surprise. "Uh, yeah, a few times. Mostly when my sister was little and then with one of my parents' friends' kids. Why?"
Adrian smirked before carefully handing Maya over to him, forcing Jayden to hold her and try to make her comfortable. "Because it's your turn to hold a baby now."
"What? I—" Jayden began, completely taken by surprise since he hadn't thought that they would hand over one of the babies to him. He quickly shifted the baby in his arms, letting her head rest in the crook of his left arm, and felt a little freaked out over the responsibility he had been given.
Adrian was quite protective of Maya, but as long as he was standing right next to them he didn't mind his family holding her – even Jayden. Jayden seemed like a responsible guy in Adrian's eyes so he trusted him to hold his baby.
"Aww, you both look cute with babies in your arms," Eden grinned at them, her tail curling with joy.
Jason chuckled and tilted his head a bit at the scene. "Yeah, they actually do."
Lily grinned, and Jayden glanced at Noah in slight nervousness, but Noah was very calm and just smiled when he saw Jayden with little Maya and how the alpha instinctively rocked the baby a little when she made some grumpy noises.
Dean didn't really know how to feel about that. He admitted that Noah and Jayden looked 'cute' like that and that it looked rather natural on them, but they were both still too young to have their own babies yet.
Noah looked slightly alerted when Luna squirmed and sobbed a bit, but he quickly rocked and cooed softly at her. "Shh, please don't cry." He looked over at Eden helplessly. "Um, maybe you should take her again?"
Eden laughed and came forward to take Luna from Noah's arms. "Yeah, I think she might be getting hungry again. She has quite an appetite." She took Luna and cradled her in her arms, shushing her gently when the baby cried. She smiled at Noah then. "I still think you're gonna be a good mom someday, though. Lily too." She winked at Noah and looked over at Lily who smiled and curled her tail happily.
Noah squirmed and stared at his feet while his cheeks were crimson red. "I don't know…" he murmured modestly.
"I also think you would be good," Natalie smiled, agreeing with Eden. She smiled at Jayden who carefully moved Maya over into her arms so that both babies were back with their mothers.
"Let's hope it'll be a few years until then…" Adrian murmured, staring between Noah and Jayden and let his eyes linger a bit on Jayden.
Jayden shifted uncomfortably, feeling just as embarrassed as Noah now.
"Stop being so embarrassing!" Noah hissed at his family, scowling between them when they all looked at him with knowing smiles.
Isaac laughed out loud. "But it's so fun when you're embarrassed! Your face gets all red and you squirm like a shy virgin."
"I don't think he's a virgin anymore, though…" Lily murmured, smirking over at Jayden and Noah who both seemed even more uncomfortable and embarrassed now.
"Stop it!" Noah groaned out, glaring when his siblings and Jason and Tony laughed, and even Dean and Castiel seemed rather amused. He went over to Jayden and rested his forehead against the demon's chest, groaning in embarrassment and trying to hide his face. Jayden chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around him, though he too was pretty embarrassed right now.
"Oh my god, they really did the deed!" Isaac exclaimed, gaping at them.
Noah groaned louder and buried his face in Jayden's shirt, and Jayden looked away from the others with a small blush while he ran a soothing hand up Noah's spine.
Adrian rolled his eyes at his Isaac. "I don't think we need to make advertisements about it, Isaac. Unless we start with you."
"Stop it already; there is enough embarrassment here as it is," Castiel spoke, scowling at his children.
"Yeah, it's getting awkward," Jason chuckled. He looked at Eden who was still smiling over at Noah and Jayden, and Luna was getting a bit more restless in her arms now. Jason went over to her, putting a hand on her waist and leaned in. "Maybe you should feed her?" he told her quietly, running his hand through some of Eden's feathers in affection.
"Yeah, I better. She's getting so grumpy," Eden spoke, directing the last sentence at Luna with a soft voice.
Daniel pulled lightly at Eden's skirt, and when Eden looked down at him he was staring up at her with his blue eyes (which had bit of brown in them). "Mommy, need new diaper…"
Jason chuckled. "Mommy has to feed Luna, so I'll go change you. Come on." He grabbed Daniel's hand and led him inside to the bathroom.
Lily smiled and curled her tail. "Wow, busy life as parents."
"Yeah, you have no idea," Eden murmured, rocking Luna.
Natalie smiled and came over to Eden. "Maya needs feeding too, so we can go inside together?"
Eden grinned and nodded, and together they went inside to feed their babies and have a little privacy while doing so.
Isaac stared as they left and crossed his arms. "Don't know if I ever want kids. Being woken up five times a night? No thanks…"
Adrian chuckled and slapped his tail playfully against Isaac's. "What makes you think that anyone would ever wanna have a kid with you?" he said, grinning teasingly at his little brother.
Isaac gaped at him in shock over Adrian's words before he growled and slapped his arm. "Shut up, man! Not funny!" He growled in annoyance when Adrian cracked up.
The others laughed, and Noah and Jayden were finally feeling a little less embarrassed now.
Castiel chuckled at them before telling Dean, "I'll be right back." Dean nodded and Castiel headed inside to bring out some glasses and something for them to drink.
Eden and Natalie were sitting over on the couch and chatting while they were breastfeeding the babies when Castiel headed over to the kitchen. Castiel had been present at Daniel's birth and he had watched Eden breastfeed a few times before so it wasn't like he hadn't seen her exposed after she grew up, but he didn't go over to them because he didn't want to make an awkward scene, and it was different with Natalie who was not his daughter. So he let them have some privacy. He smiled when he heard Eden and Natalie chat and giggle over something together. He was glad they got along well.
Jason and Daniel emerged from the bathroom while Castiel was collecting some glasses to bring outside, and when Daniel noticed Castiel in the kitchen he squealed happily and ran over to him.
"Gramma, gramma!" Daniel grinned, hugging Castiel's waist and grinned up at him.
The angel chuckled fondly and ran a hand through Daniel's blonde hair. "What is it, Daniel?"
Daniel just grinned and kept hugging him. "I love you!" he exclaimed, still with that big, happy grin on his face, and his little wings flapped in joy behind him.
Castiel grinned back and bend down to pick up Daniel, making the boy squeal as he was lifted up and placed on Cas' arm. "And I love you," Castiel smiled and leaned in to try to 'eat' Daniel, causing the boy to laugh and squirm against him.
Jason watched the scene with a grin, and Eden and Natalie were smiling from the couch.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Mary and John arrived an hour later, and Dean greeted them at the door and hugged them.
"Congrats on the grandkids, son," John smiled and hugged his son tightly, entwining their tails.
"Thanks, dad," Dean grinned and pulled away from the hug to hug his mother as well.
"I can't wait to see those little treasures," Mary smiled, kissing Dean's cheek before hugging him. She pulled away and smiled at her oldest son. "How is everyone doing?" she asked, letting their tails entwine briefly.
"Good. Everyone is happy and they are looking forward to seeing you," Dean smiled.
"Well, then lead us to them, boy," Mary said, nudging his arm with a grin.
Dean laughed and led his parents out to the terrace where everyone was. The others were seated around the table and chatting and drinking soda, cold water, and juice, and they looked up when Mary and John appeared.
"Grandma! And grandpa!" Eden grinned, getting up to greet her grandparents. The others got up as well since it had been a while since they last saw Mary and John (Jayden was the only one who hadn't met them yet).
Mary and John smiled as they hugged their grandchildren and greeted Jason, Tony, and Natalie as well. The babies were asleep in the baby carriages now, which were placed down in the shade in the garden.
"Don't give your grandpa such a girly hug, Isaac. Be a man and squeeze properly," John complained when Isaac returned the hug he was giving him.
"Hugging is girly," Isaac argued, but squeezed John tighter anyway.
"Uncle Gabe doesn't think so, though. He always cracks your ribs when he hugs you," Adrian reminded him, chuckling. Isaac couldn't argue with that.
"Oh hi, little Daniel. You are getting so big!" Mary grinned at Daniel and pulled him up to sit on her arm. She still had enough strength to do a lot of things since her aging went slower than a human's, making her as fit as a 60-year-old human. Daniel just grinned shyly and started playing with some of Mary's red feathers.
"Still not mated?" John asked Lily and Tony after he had hugged them too. He looked between them and watched them shift a bit.
"Not yet, but we've been talking about it…" Lily admitted, lifting her gaze to glance shyly up at Tony who was standing next to her.
Dean looked baffled. "You haven't told us about that," he said, almost accusingly.
Castiel nudged Dean in the side with his elbow and scowled at him for being rude. Mary laughed softly when she noticed it.
Lily blushed a bit. "Well, sorry. But now you know it."
John just smiled between them. "It's a big step. Don't let your angel boy here be your mate unless you're absolutely sure you wanna keep him forever." He looked at Tony who smiled a bit at that.
"With the screams I sometimes hear coming from their room, I think Lily definitely wants to keep him," Isaac cut in, smirking at his twin whose face went completely red.
"Shut up, Isaac! And you haven't heard a thing, so stop lying!" Lily growled and slapped his arm.
The others laughed, and Adrian quietly got between his siblings to avoid a bigger argument between them.
John laughed before turning his attention to Noah whom he hadn't hugged yet. He grinned widely at his youngest grandchild (on Dean's side) and pulled him into a loving hug. Noah smiled and rested his head against John's shoulder before pulling back from the hug. John gave him a loving smile before turning his attention to Jayden who was lingering behind Noah. He looked the young alpha demon up and down and Jayden shifted somewhat nervously under the inspecting stare.
"Grandpa…" Noah began, sensing the tension, but John kept his eyes firmly on Jayden.
"You must be Noah's boyfriend Jayden?" John spoke, staring at Jayden.
Jayden's wings lowered just a little when he heard a hint of authority in John's voice, and he made sure that his posture was polite and not challenging in any way. "Yes, sir, I am Jayden."
John looked him up and down before reaching out his hand.
Jayden took the hand and wasn't surprised by John's firm handshake. The older demon didn't let go of his hand and kept his gaze on Jayden's face. He was clearly being quite protective of Noah, like Dean had been.
"John," Mary chastised him lightly, putting Daniel down again. She felt that John's behavior was out of line and rude towards Noah's boyfriend.
Noah didn't look too happy either; he stared between his grandfather and boyfriend nervously and looked like he was about to say something to John.
"Well, I take it you must be a good guy, otherwise I'm sure that my son would have ripped you apart already. Adrian too, probably," John spoke, glancing briefly over at Dean and Adrian from the corner of his eyes.
"Yeah, he's cool, dad. You can let him go now," Dean said, shifting as he felt the tension in the air.
John looked at Jayden again who was swallowing nervously. He stared at him for three more seconds before grinning and shook his hand again which he had never let go of in the first place. "Well, welcome to the family, then. But if you hurt little Noah you will get your ass kicked by several members of this family, you should know that," he warned before letting go of Jayden's hand.
Jayden discretely wiped his hands in his jeans since they had gotten a little sweaty during the intense tension between him and John just now. "Thank you, sir. And I've already been warned about that. I can guarantee you that I have no intentions of ever hurting Noah."
John smiled at Jayden's sincere words and watched as Noah stepped closer to Jayden and glanced up at his boyfriend in slight worry.
"You didn't have to be so rude, John," Mary told him, rolling her eyes and glared at her mate.
"Yeah, you didn't. I love him, grandpa, and I know he wouldn't hurt me," Noah spoke, scowling somewhat at John and grabbed Jayden's left hand to entwine their fingers.
John nodded quietly at that and seemed a little ashamed to have treated Jayden that way, but he had only done what he felt he needed to do.
Mary smiled at Noah's words and reached out to shake Jayden's hand. "And I'm Mary, Noah's grandmother. Don't worry; I'm not as stupidly overprotective as John or Dean are. I can tell you are a nice guy," she grinned while shaking his hand.
Jayden smiled modestly. "Thanks. It's nice to meet you."
Mary grinned. "Likewise. You're a very handsome young alpha. Noah picked you well."
Noah blushed furiously and stepped a little closer to Jayden who laughed softly at Mary's words.
"Actually, he kind of picked me first…" Noah murmured, his cheeks reddening more before he raised his head and smiled shyly up at Jayden. Jayden smiled back and wrapped his tail around Noah's leg possessively.
"See? Grandma agrees with me that he's smoking hot!" Isaac blurted, making some of the others chuckle and shake their heads helplessly at him.
Mary just grinned between Noah and Jayden, her tail curling happily behind her as she watched the love on their faces.
"And he makes Noah happy. I haven't seen him be as happy and content since he and Jayden started dating," Eden spoke, smiling over at the young couple.
Isaac rolled his eyes. "Girls." Eden shoved him and made Isaac stumble into Adrian.
Adrian glared down at Isaac in annoyance since he was almost knocked over too, and he hadn't noticed that Eden had shoved Isaac first.
"It was her fault!" Isaac told Adrian and pointed at Eden when he saw his brother glaring at him. Eden started giggling like mad as Adrian growled and was about to shove Isaac to get some payback, but Dean cut him off.
"Hey, cut it out," Dean told them, scowling between them.
Natalie just laughed as Isaac and Adrian glared at each other like true brothers, and she brushed her wing against Adrian's to calm him down a bit.
Castiel smiled. It felt like the good old days when the kids were younger and always arguing about something. He was glad that their dynamics were still the same, even though Isaac had a habit of annoying the hell out of everyone.
"Are the little ones sleeping?" Mary asked, getting all eager to see her new little great-grandkids.
"Yes, but I think we can take you down to see them anyway," Eden spoke, looking at Natalie to see if she agreed.
Natalie smiled and nodded, and they began heading down into the garden to the baby carriages where the babies were sleeping.
Daniel eagerly grabbed a hold of Mary's hand. "Luna is my sister! Come look!" he said and practically dragged her with him. Mary laughed fondly and followed after him into the shade of the garden where the baby carriages were.
Daniel's pride about his little sister made the others laugh, and they all went down into the garden to witness Mary and John seeing the babies for the first time. Bella ran after them as well, barking loudly, but Dean managed to make her shut up so that she wouldn't scare or wake up the babies too much.
Both Mary and John were thrilled to see the little babies as they peeked into the carriages where the girls were sleeping peacefully, but they were beginning to wake up a bit as everyone looked down at them. Eden and Natalie had decided to let the babies sleep outside in the fresh summer air since it was healthy for them to come outside from time to time.
After having proudly showed his sister to his great-grandparents, Daniel went over to Noah and pulled at his hand. "Play ball?" he asked, staring pleadingly up at him from under his lashes.
Noah looked at the boy with an apologetic smile. "Maybe it's better to wait, Daniel. The babies are sleeping, after all."
Daniel pouted and seemed very disappointed at that.
"Actually, both Luna and Maya are somewhat awake now," Natalie spoke. "Maybe we should take them inside to sleep and then Daniel can play out here without having to be quiet?" She looked at Eden as she spoke.
"Yeah, let's do that," Eden agreed, gently shushing Luna who sobbed softly and began preparing to move the carriage.
Jason and Adrian helped them get the carriages inside, and Mary went over to Natalie as she pulled out Maya who was crying now and placed her against her shoulder to soothe her. Natalie smiled as Mary somehow managed to make Maya quiet down a bit.
"Yay! Now we play?" Daniel grinned, looking up at Noah and jumped up and down.
Noah chuckled. "Okay. Can Jayden play too? I think he can toss the ball pretty far." He smirked at Jayden who chuckled and nodded his head, confirming that Noah was right.
"Okay!" Daniel chirped, running across the lawn to get the ball and laughed when Bella ran after him.
"Don't toss the ball into the neighbors' property," Dean told them as Noah and Jayden headed further into the garden to play ball with Daniel.
"We'll try not to," Jayden chuckled.
They started playing, and Daniel seemed to love it when Jayden would kick the ball high into the air and make it land several feet down the lawn. Daniel ran after the ball every time to pick it up and bring it back to Jayden, just to see how high he could kick it again and then he would run over to pick it up once more. Noah couldn't kick it as high as Jayden could, and Lily and Tony tried too but they still couldn't beat Jayden's record.
Dean and Castiel watched the scene from the terrace with the others. Castiel smiled when he saw much fun Daniel was having with Jayden and Noah, and with Lily and Tony until the two of them headed back up to the terrace.
"Higher! Higher!" Daniel grinned eagerly.
Jayden laughed. "At this rate I'm gonna hit one of the neighbors in the head."
Adrian chuckled as he headed over to them along with Jason and Isaac. "Let's see if I can kick it higher than you."
"Be my guest," Jayden chuckled.
Isaac laughed. "You're gonna lose, Adrian," he teased, earning a sharp look from his brother.
Noah rolled his eyes when he sensed a bit of a competition going on between them now. He watched as Adrian kicked the ball into the air, about as high as Jayden had kicked it if not higher, and Daniel squealed and ran over to get the ball when it landed far away over by the garden gate.
"Not bad," Jayden said, somewhat impressed.
"Thanks. Haven't really played ball for a while," Adrian chuckled before turning to look at Daniel who was bringing the ball over to him with a big grin on his face. "Thanks, Danny," he grinned, taking the ball. "Wanna see how high your daddy can kick it?" he asked, turning his head to smirk at Jason.
"Yeah!" Daniel cheered, waving his arms and jumped excitedly. Noah chuckled at that.
Jason rolled his eyes and took the ball from Adrian. "Okay fine, I'm joining in on your macho competition, but don't sulk when I beat your record."
Adrian, Jayden, Isaac, and Noah all laughed at that.
Daniel watched excitedly as Jason kicked the ball and they all followed it with their eyes. Both Adrian and Jayden gaped when it seemed to go even higher than their own records, and Jason smirked self-smugly and watched as the ball landed on the ground near the garden gate (almost going over it) and how Daniel and Bella hurried over to get it.
Jason smugness increased when he saw their baffled faces as they turned to stare at him. He just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hey, I'm the one that played soccer once. You two did martial arts and football, so it's natural that I can kick it higher than you. I've done it for years."
"Quit bragging," Adrian huffed and shoved Jason lightly, making the human laugh.
"Woohoo! You rock, Jason!" Eden cheered from the terrace when she saw her mate beat both Adrian and Jayden. Jason grinned over at her.
"Fuck, man, I'm not even gonna try kicking that ball. I can't beat that," Isaac muttered and glared at Jason.
Adrian snorted. "Pussy." He laughed when Isaac shoved him and growled in annoyance.
"Uncles said bad words," Daniel murmured, staring up at Isaac and Adrian warily.
"Yeah, they did. Don't listen to them," Jason spoke and ruffled Daniel's hair with affection.
"And I gotta pee, so see ya soon," Isaac announced and headed back to the house.
"Jeez, Isaac! Manners!" Adrian growled and groaned in embarrassment.
Jayden laughed, as always amused by Isaac's personality. Jason laughed too while Daniel was more or less confused.
"I'm sorry… Isaac is so embarrassing," Noah groaned and leaned into Jayden, letting their arms and wings touch.
"That's okay. I find him pretty entertaining," Jayden chuckled and wrapped an arm around Noah's waist. He smiled when Noah leaned further into him with a content sigh, and Jayden then leaned down to capture his lips in a soft kiss. Noah blushed since both Adrian and Jason were staring, but he returned the kiss anyway. Jayden didn't seem to mind the audience though.
Adrian smiled and stared at the scene. "I don't think I'll ever get used to watching Noah kissing someone."
"Me neither. He's always been the family's baby," Jason spoke, smiling at them too. Daniel was staring at them as well, tilting his head curiously but soon lost interest again when Bella caught his attention.
Noah blushed and pulled away from Jayden's lips. "I'm not a baby anymore," he said, scowling over at Jason.
Adrian laughed and went forward to ruffle Noah's hair fondly. "Yeah, you kinda are. To me at least."
Noah glared and swatted Adrian's hand away before frantically trying to correct his hair. Jayden chuckled and tried helping him out a bit. The alpha corrected some of Noah's feathers as well when he noticed that some of them looked a little messy, and it made Noah blush harder.
Adrian smiled at how familiar Noah and Jayden were with each other, although it was a little hard for him to accept that his baby brother was growing up.
"Are any of you chuckleheads ready for some afternoon coffee and snacks?" Dean called from the terrace, making them all look over at him. He and Cas had brought out some biscuits, pie, coffee, and juice to eat and enjoy outside.
"Who are you calling chuckleheads?" Adrian grumbled as he made his way back up to the terrace. Jason chuckled and went with him along with Daniel, and Noah and Jayden followed a few feet behind them.
It was crowded around the table but it was manageable.
Daniel sat on Eden's lap while they ate. He was rather exhausted and somewhat sleepy from all the exercise he had gotten in the garden when running back and forth to get the ball, and Eden smiled since she knew it would be easier to put him to bed tonight and make him fall asleep.
They talked and chatted, and Mary was quite interested in hearing a bit more about Jayden since it was the first time they met. Noah was glad that his grandmother seemed to like Jayden and that John seemed to have softened up by now.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
In the late afternoon Castiel got to sit a bit with Maya after she had woken up and had been fed again. Dean sat next to him and watched the scene with a small smile. He loved watching Cas around babies and children, and they were always calm and content in his arms.
Everyone was enjoying the family time and seeing each other again. Especially Adrian was a more rare sight now that he was living in L.A., and his siblings enjoyed it whenever he was there.
Of course, Isaac couldn't be around anyone without having to pull a prank or two.
Mary was the victim of a fart cushion which made everyone at the table crack up and John stare at her almost comically when he thought it was real, and Tony walked into some film that Isaac had spun across the doorframe outside the bathroom, so when Tony exited the bathroom he walked face-first into the somewhat sticky film.
Jayden was pretty much just waiting his turn to get pranked now, which made him a little paranoid.
Daniel spent a lot of time in the sandbox, playing with cars and toy trucks and a few of Adrian and Isaac's old dinosaur toys. Noah, Jayden, and Lily and Tony joined him at some point to give him a little company, and the boy grinned happily at the attention.
Noah grinned as he watched Jayden and Tony turn into little kids as they started playing with Daniel's toys, and he hadn't seen Daniel that happy for a long time. He and Lily were sitting on the grass just outside the sandbox while Jayden and Tony were both placed on the sand inside the sandbox and getting sand everywhere on their clothes and wings.
"Jeez, they're like two little children," Lily chuckled fondly, laughing when they destroyed a small sandcastle that they had built with Daniel. Daniel laughed, begging them to make another so they could do it again.
"Yeah," Noah chuckled, sitting cross-legged on the grass and watched the scene. He smiled as he watched Jayden interact with Daniel. The alpha was very good with children and Daniel seemed to like him a lot.
"They're more like giant babies," came Isaac's voice, and Lily and Noah turned their heads to look up at him. They hadn't even noticed him coming over and were a little surprised to see him standing behind them.
"And you're not?" Lily retorted.
"I'm not a baby; I'm just less adult and more fun to be around."
Noah giggled as Lily rolled her eyes.
Noah glanced at Isaac, getting the sun a bit in his face as he looked at him. "What are you hiding behind your back?" he asked, noticing how both Isaac's hands were behind his back as if he was holding something.
Isaac smirked. Instead of replying he went over and stepped into the sandbox behind Jayden. He was barefoot like they were, and the sand stuck between his toes as he snuck up on Jayden who was sitting in the sand and was too busy playing with Daniel and Tony.
"Jayden, Isaac is behind you…" Noah warned, staring at Isaac warily. He couldn't see what Isaac was hiding behind his back because he moved it around to his front now that he was facing Noah and Lily with his back, and Isaac's wings had shielded the object from his view.
Jayden frowned and was about to look behind himself when Isaac quickly leaned down, putting a hand on Jayden's shoulder and moving his right hand around him to smash a piece of pie directly into Jayden's face. It was a pie that had whipped cream on top, and it splattered across Jayden's face and ran down onto his shirt. Isaac laughed and quickly jumped back as Jayden shot to his feet with a loud, shocked gasp and spread out his wings on reflex.
The others stared in absolute shock before they all began laughing, though Noah desperately tried to hold his laughter back because he felt kind of sorry for Jayden.
Jayden growled and wiped his face off in his arms. He couldn't use his hands since they were covered in sand. He slowly turned around and glared at Isaac who had jumped out of the sandbox and was now laughing hysterically behind Noah and Lily. "I knew you were gonna do something!" he growled, finding it hard to see anything because of all the pie on his face. "Damnit," he grumbled, trying to get the pie off without using his hands.
"It suits you!" Isaac laughed.
"Fuck, I'm glad it wasn't me," Tony laughed, cracking up and laughing hysterically. Daniel was laughing too, obviously finding it very amusing although he didn't quite understand the situation.
The others on the terrace had noticed the commotion by now, and they too laughed when they saw Jayden's face after he had stepped out of the sandbox. Noah got up and tried to guide him since Jayden could barely see anything.
Bella didn't understand anything of what was going on, but her tail wagged furiously when she sensed that everyone was cheerful.
"Isaac!" Castiel scolded, growling in annoyance. "What did you do that for?" he demanded.
"It was just for fun," Isaac grinned, yelping and jumping back when Jayden playfully lashed out at him with his tail. "Besides, I've barely ever pranked him so it's about time that I do."
Noah chuckled but felt quite sorry for Jayden since everyone was laughing. "I'll guide you inside," he told him, grabbing onto his arm.
"Yeah, thanks," Jayden murmured, trying to smile under all that pie.
"Oh my," Natalie snickered as Jayden and Noah walked past the table and were headed into the house.
"Isaac never grows up," John muttered, leaning back into his chair with a sigh.
Dean snickered as Jayden walked by, and Jason and Adrian were both laughing.
"Damn waste of good pie," Dean chuckled.
"I'm not gonna let you lick it off me though," Jayden said with a smirk that got kind of lost under the pie.
Dean barked out a laugh at that.
Noah helped Jayden inside and into the bathroom where Jayden washed all the sand off his hands first. Noah got some towels and some cloths which he wetted and helped Jayden wipe the pie off his face. Jayden stood still and let Noah handle it, and he smiled when he felt a bit like he was being mothered by his boyfriend.
"I'm sorry about Isaac. Such pranks usually means that he likes you, though," Noah chuckled, having cleaned off the worst now.
"It's fine. I'm not mad. But I am slightly annoyed 'cause it's no fun getting pied like that," Jayden said and glanced down at his shirt. "And he messed up my shirt too…"
Noah giggled but tried to maintain a serious posture. He wiped the last bit of pie off Jayden's face and smiled when his boyfriend's face was finally back to its usual handsome look. They stared into each other's eyes for a few moments with soft smiles, and Noah blushed when Jayden moved his hand up to cover the hand that Noah had cupped Jayden's cheek with without really noticing it.
"Thanks for the help. I have the feeling I'm still going to need a shower at some point, though," Jayden said, chuckling softly.
Noah glanced down Jayden's body and saw that his wings, his legs, and his feet and toes were covered in grass and sand. Noah's own feet were also full of grass and some sand, and his wings had a bit of sand in them too because Daniel had thrown some at him earlier. He smiled and looked up at Jayden's face again. "Yeah, me too."
They smiled at each other again, but looked up when Isaac suddenly appeared in the doorway. They had left the bathroom door open since Noah had been too busy getting Jayden inside the room.
Isaac shifted a bit and leaned somewhat against the doorframe as he watched Noah and Jayden standing in the room. "Sorry if you got mad about the pie…" Isaac said slowly, glancing over at Jayden somewhat warily.
Noah was surprised that Isaac was actually apologizing for it. He wondered if Castiel had made him do it.
Jayden blinked before smiling. "Nah, it's fine. I'm not mad. But I'm not happy either 'cause I feel that stuff in my nose now, and do you have any idea how annoying that is? I swear to god if I had any pie right now, I would throw it in your face too." He spoke the words with a grin on his face, and Isaac laughed out loud.
"Damn, I'm glad that my dad ate the rest," Isaac grinned. He looked briefly at Noah before looking back at Jayden with a little smirk. "And I like you; you're cool. Take care of my little brother, and please don't make him scream too loud when you fuck him while I'm in the house, 'cause I really don't wanna hear that."
"Isaac!" Noah exclaimed, mortified. He blushed furiously and groaned in embarrassment.
Jayden laughed. "I'll make him bite into his pillow then," he said, grinning down at Noah teasingly and laughed when Noah blushed and slammed his hand against his chest to make him stop being so embarrassing.
Isaac just laughed before leaving again.
"Why are you doing this to me? It's so embarrassing," Noah groaned, staring into his Jayden's pie-stained shirt while blushing hard.
"Sorry," Jayden chuckled and wrapped his tail around Noah's leg and placed his hands on the submissive's hips. Noah just sent him a small glare from under his lashes before leaning into him. Jayden kissed the top of Noah's head in apology then, making Noah smile and forgive him right away.
They left the bathroom, and Jayden pulled off his dirty shirt when Noah told him that he would wash it for him. They ran into Adrian who was on his way into the kitchen, and two alphas gave each other a brief nod before Jayden went upstairs to find a new shirt. Adrian stared a bit at Jayden's naked chest before looking at Noah who was watching Jayden's back as the alpha left the room, holding the dirty shirt in his hands.
"You're going all mother on him," Adrian remarked when he saw Noah holding Jayden's shirt, obviously about to go to the laundry room to wash it.
Noah scowled at him, his cheeks red. "I'm just offering to wash his shirt…"
"And therefore you are mothering him," Adrian chuckled, watching as Noah looked away and obviously wasn't able to argue any further. He stepped a little closer to his submissive brother. "You know, when I went up to my room earlier I saw that my nightstand drawer was slightly opened, and I could see that almost half of the lube that was left has been used since last time I was home… Maybe you should buy your own or have Jayden bring some over next time you two are gonna have sex in this house?" he suggested, giving Noah a knowing smile.
Noah's face went completely red and he stared at his big brother in horror. "I-I…"
Adrian laughed and put a reassuring hand on Noah's shoulder. "I'm not mad, I'm just saying. And don't be so embarrassed," he chuckled.
Noah just flushed more and lowered his gaze a little, feeling his face burn with embarrassment. Adrian smiled and brushed his tail against Noah's leg before going into the kitchen, and Noah stood there for a few moments before hurrying into the laundry room to wash Jayden's shirt.

Eden and Adrian drove home in the evening with their mates and children since they didn't want to bother everyone with the babies waking up during the night to demand food. Mary and John drove home as well, leaving just Dean, Cas, Noah and Jayden, Isaac, and Lily and Tony at the house.
It was around midnight when Dean and Cas slipped into bed that night, and they immediately cuddled in each other's arms.
"Mmm, it was a nice day," Dean hummed, holding Cas close.
Castiel smiled and snuggled into Dean. "Yes, I enjoyed it. Everyone was happy and the babies were healthy and beautiful. I'm kind of sad that they had to leave."
"They'll come back again soon."
"Mm," Castiel hummed, closing his eyes.
"I can't wait for our little vacation, just the two of us. It'll do you good to go somewhere else for a change, even though you haven't had your nightmares for a while," Dean spoke.
"I'm looking forward to it as well."
"And mostly I can't wait to fuck you during your heat again. I'm gonna make you come over and over until you no longer want to sleep on that mattress," Dean smirked.
Castiel snorted softly. "Remember it will be a rented mattress."
"Don't care, I'll pay for a new one if I have to."
Castiel chuckled. "Good night, Dean," he spoke after a few moments.
Dean's arms tightened around him and he placed a chaste kiss on top of the angel's head. "Night, Cas."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Author's notes: Dean and Cas became grandparents once again :) Another tricky chapter to write so I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be a little filler-ish since there will be lots of smut and romance when Dean and Cas go to that lake house. And oh boy I'm running out of plot for Devoted, so maybe this story will have like 92 or 93 chapters in total – at least that's my estimation right now. As for the spin-off… I have no idea how many chapters that will be, but we'll just have to wait and see XD;
Thanks for reading my story and please leave a review for me :)
