She wants a kid

The Winchesters made it back to Texas in record time, but no one was tired. Ashley had suggested they find a movie to watch, so her and Sam jumped back in the car to a Redbox. Ashley was still up for driving, so Sam just lounged in the too tight passenger seat.

"You know, we all want kids and a family too" Sam dared.

"Yeah, but you don't have a clock ticking down inside ya" Ashley croaked out, trying to hold back a sob.

"You're right, but I was thinking what if we adopt?"

Ashley was shocked by Sam's suggestion, but she couldn't wrap her head around it and how it would possibly work-who would it call Daddy? How would it be taken care of when they were always on the road?

"Look" Sam said, trying to stem her concerns "Dean was the one who brought it up while you were-well, you know."

"And what do you think?" Ashley said as she pulled up in front of the Redbox.

"I think it's a good idea" Sam shrugged. Maybe the boys were right, she could stay home and play homemaker, nurse, and researcher.

"I say let's go for it" she muttered out as Sam searched for a title.

"Wait, really?" Sam smiled.

"Yeah, Papa Sam" she teased as she walked away from the shocked giant.

"I'll get the drinks, what do you want?"

"Ah, just a six-pack. Thanks, Little One" he smiled at how she now walked with a new found bounce in her step.

"Wait, so she's really up for it?" Dean asked from his seat

"Yeah" Sam replied with a low voice. "Why are you so surprised? She wanted a kid for a while now." Ashley was fast asleep with her head on Sammy's lap. A few shots of Fireball and a warm blanket instantly knocked her out a couple minutes into the movie.

"Alright Sammy, start making us look normal for an adoption, we'll have Ash do the rest" Dean said flicking off the credits. Dean looked at his sleeping sister then up at Sammy. "Naah, leave her here" Sam said sneaking out from under her. Sam grabbed his laptop and headed upstairs to start the applications they would need to adopt.

Sam knew it would be a good way to force his family to semi-retire, but would it be god for the kid? Sam was interrupted by a knock on his door. "Yeah" he answered. Ashley stepped forward into the dark room to see a light only coming from the computer screen. "Mind if I?" she motioned towards the extra space on the bed.

"Hey Sleepyhead, sure."

"Whatcha doing?"

"Uh, starting adoption apps actually" he scoffed. "A single mom, living with her brothers may send up a few red flags, so you and I are 'married'."

"Why you and I?" she said confused as to how he came up with the pairing.

"You look like Dean kinda" Sam shrugged "so he's my brother and living with us."

Ashley was excited to finally be given the chance to be a Mom. Even if it wasn't her biological kid, she would love it and raise it like her own. "I'll see you later, Sammy" she said kissing his cheek and heading down to the shared room.

Dean was still up, taking a shower, so she undressed and slipped into her boy shorts and tank top. Ashley sat down on the bed waiting for her brother to finish up before talking with him about the, soon to be, new addition. Ashley scooted back to lean against the headboard while she went through what would need to be done before they brought the kid home. Dean had finally stepped out of the bathroom by the time Ashley had followed a 20th parenting board on Pinterest.

"Well, based on the smile on your-"

"Thank you so much De" Ashley interrupted her brother by jumping off the bed and into a hug.

"Whoa Killer" Dean laughed, barely catching himself and his sister.

"We gotta clean up the spare room and I gotta baby-proof the house, and get a car" she rambled, making Dean's head spin.

"Heh, how about you think about this in the morning. We've been up for days now" Dean pointed out.

"Fine, point taken" she settled back on the bed "but tomorrow you and Sam's got work to do!"

"Yes ma'am" Dean said as he switched off the light.

Ashley woke up to find the bed deserted and the door cracked open- just barely open. She was comfortable and curled up in the middle of the bed, which was are rare as a Jefferson Starship. Ashley could smell coffee wafting into the room as well as cooking food, and her stomach was grumbling under the sheets. Ashley dragged herself out of the warm bed and started down the stairs, following her nose.

"Morning Ash" Sam said, still glued to the laptop.

"Hey guys" she dared, peaking into the kitchen to see Dean cooking.

"Yeah, you are seeing that right" Sam said not even looking up.

"My God, Dean are-are you…sick?" she chuckled at the sight of him cooking eggs and bacon.

"No, can't I cook if I feel like it?" he said defensively.

"But of course" Ashley said popping up on the counter next to where Dean was cooking. She hated to admit it, but the few times she did eat his food, it was actually really good!

"So Dean, after breakfast, mind if I borrow Baby to go grab some things?"

"Yeah sure" Dean replied, dropping a plate down in front of Sam, "but eat, now!" he ordered playfully.
