Over the next few days while Nicole and D were on their little road trip Liz and Sam were growing closer. She had quit having the nagging feelings in the back of her head that told her to fear him and Dean couldn't be happier. He enjoyed seeing his girl and his brother laughing together and getting closer. They were getting things together to cook out tonight and Dean is getting the grill ready. Liz and Sam are in the kitchen preparing all the sides. Sam seems to be an expert at cutting up the onions for the burgers and the potatoes for the potato salad. Liz is making the beans and has added ground beef and bbq sauce to them. Dean comes in to pat out the hamburgers and kisses Liz on the neck when he walks by. The ring he gave her sparkles on her finger as she works and he thinks back to when he was a boy and that ring adorned his mother's finger. He can't help but smile at the fond memory of his mother. He knows she would be proud of his choice in Liz.
As he's standing there reminiscing he hears a familiar rumble out in the yard. Liz looks out the window and the hugest smile breaks out on her face. She drops what she's doing and wipes her hands on a hand towel and runs to the door. She throws it open and Nicole and D are standing on the front steps locked in an embrace. They're giggling like little girls and turn smiling up at Liz when she throws the door open. "Oh Nicole I've missed you two so much! Come in, we're just getting supper going and we've got so much to talk about!", Liz says and her eyes sparkle with excitement. Nicole goes to her friend and hugs her tightly. "Liz I've missed y'all too and D and I have lots to tell y'all too!" Sam comes over and picks Nicole up in a brotherly bear hug. "There's my other little sister.", he says as he sits Nicole down and playfully swats her behind. The brothers all give each other manly slaps on the back and Dean hands the guys all a beer.
Nicole and Liz fall into finishing up the things in the kitchen and the guys go out to throw the burgers on the grill. "So man how are things out there in the world?", Dean asked D. Sam leaned against the Impala and crossed his long legs. "Pretty barren out there in most places. We camped out in Baby for the most part but we did find a place or two to stay.", D answered without giving too much information. "Did you run into anything bad while you were out there?" D shrugged and answered, "Well there were a couple instances but we handled it." "We? So you're saying Nicole helped handle whatever it was that needed handling?", Sam questioned. "Yeah you know she's very handy with a gun. She's hunted deer so doing what we do is easier to her she said than shooting something as cute as Bambi.", D chuckled thinking back to when Nicole shot that Croat between the eyes without even blinking when he didn't even see it coming after him. She was close enough when she pulled the trigger that his blood splattered her when she shot him. D saw that beneath her small physique that she was tough as nails.
When the burgers were ready Dean took them inside. Sam and D followed and the girls had the table set. Dean and Liz sat on one side of the table with D and Nicole across from them. Sam sat at the head of the table. As Liz went to hand D his bottle of beer he saw the flash of light on the ring Dean had given her. He recognized it as their mom's. "Liz where did you get that?", D questioned quietly. Liz pulled her hand to her chest and gasped. Dean spoke up, "We were going to wait and tell y'all later but I asked Liz to marry me. I gave her mom's ring." Nicole's eyes got big and she ran to Liz almost knocking over her beer in her haste. Nicole hugs her tightly and then pulls back so she can get a better look at her ring. "Let me see! It's beautiful!", Nicole says as she admires Liz's sparkly new jewelry. Liz noticed a new emerald and diamond band on Nicole's finger. "Ok girl what's this?", Liz questions as she lifts Nicole's finger to inspect it. "Well D and I got engaged too. We found an unoccupied jewelry store and well D kind of helped himself.", she says and giggles mischievously . Liz laughs at her friend knowing that she's always had a thing for the bad boys and that D is fulfilling all of her bad boy qualities but with lots of good thrown in.
The crew finishes up their supper over lots of rambunctious laughter and tales from D and Nicole from their adventures. Liz is happy with all of her little "family" together and she even reaches to take Sam's hand at one point and squeeze it. He gives her his best smile showing his dimples and all is right in their little crazy world for the time being.
The next couple of weeks the group readies for the upcoming nuptials. Since things are different now there are different things that have to be done to get ready. Dean and D tell the girls that if they're going to be in the life then they really need to think about getting the antipossession tattoos that all the guys have. Once the bad things find out that the women are in the business they'll come after them relentlessly. Nicole chose to have hers placed on her right rib cage and Liz chose her left shoulder blade. Since there wasn't a church or even a pastor they decided that Cas would perform the weddings. Besides he had been an angel of the Lord at one point in time. Dean and D were up to something that they were keeping from Liz and Nicole. The girls were trying to figure out what they were up to but those two were very very sneaky. And Sam wasn't leaking any clues either. Nicole and Liz were pretty sure that he was in on whatever the guys had up their sleeves.
The night before the weddings the girls both stayed in D and Nicole's house and the guys stayed at Dean and Liz's house. Nicole and Liz spent the night talking and catching up and doing each other's nails. Nicole was in dire need of a pedicure so while they soaked their feet they sat back and enjoyed each other's company. The guys sat around and cracked jokes and drank beer and whiskey. The morning of the weddings the girls got ready and helped each other with their hair and makeup. Liz chose a pretty above the knee length coral colored dress strappy gold heels. Nicole chose an emerald green halter style top and a tight black mini skirt and silver 5 inch heels. Because the girls didn't have any family it was decided that Sam would give each of them away.
Liz and Dean were to go first. Dean waited at the front of the makeshift church which was a beautiful little gazebo behind Cas' house. Cas' girls had decorated it with flowers and some tulle that they found laying around in Cas' house. Liz and Nicole waited inside the house for Sam to come get each of them. When he came for Liz she turned to Nicole and hugged her quickly. They both had tears in their eyes, "Now don't start this because you know what a softie I am. We don't want to mess up our makeup.", Nicole says to Liz as she wipes her eyes and makes sure nothing is smudged. Liz check's Nicole's makeup and turns to Sam. "You look beautiful little sister.", Sam says to Liz as he holds his arm out for her to take. "Thank you.", she says shyly up to him. Sam leans down and places a soft kiss on Liz's cheek and looks over his shoulder at Nicole. "I'll be back for you in a minute little one." Nicole giggles and wishes Liz luck.
Liz lets Sam guide her down the aisle toward Dean. Dean has on a pair of dark blue dress pants and a light blue button up dress shirt and navy and red striped tie. Sam walked up to Dean and took Liz's hand in his and looked down into her eyes. "Thank you for letting me in your life. I'm so glad you make my brother happy and I couldn't ask for a better little sister." With that he kissed her on the cheek again and handed her to Dean. Cas said the necessary words and soon Dean was kissing his bride. Liz looked beautiful with just a few tears in her eyes and you could tell how proud Dean was to have her as his bride.
Just after their nuptials Dean and Liz stepped aside so that D and Nicole could exchange their vows. D stepped forward and waited on Sam to bring Nicole to him. Sam walked into the house to retrieve Nicole. She stepped forward and Sam hugged her lifting her slightly off the ground. "Ok little sister #2 let's get this done. My jerk brother is out there waiting on you." Nicole laughed and took Sam's proffered arm and walked with him down the aisle. D was waiting beside Cas. He had chosen a grey pair of dress pants and a white button up dress shirt and almost silver tie. Sam stopped in front of D and took Nicole's hand, "Like I said to Liz I want to thank you for accepting me as your brother. And you seem to keep this one in line so I'm so happy for y'all. Love you little sister." He kissed Nicole's cheek and handed her to D. Cas performed the nuptials for the second time and soon D was kissing his bride.
THE END!
