Chapter 28

"So are you and Cas a thing now?" Sam questioned her.

"Don't know, maybe." she smiled to herself. "Hey Dee, is he still breathing?"

"Hey Sis." Dean said leaning against a cabinet as Castiel sat in a chair in front of him looking guilty.

"What-are-you-doing?" she asked slowly looking from one to the other suspiciously.

"Oh, Cas was just telling me some interesting things about what he learned from you." Dean smirked giving her the look.

"Angel no!" she fussed punching Dean hard in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for? He was the one talkin'." Dean grumbled rubbing his arm and pouting.

"Angel doesn't know any better, but you do. What we do in private is private, nothing you need to know." she huffed at him pulling Castiel up from the chair.

"But Aurora, he..." Castiel started.

"Don't wanna know, come on." she growled giving Dean the evil eye before pushing Castiel out the door.

"What did I do?" Dean complained looking at Sam innocently.

"Dude, you didn't really ask Cas about, you know, what they did, did you?" Sam asked shocked.

"Naw, but it was fun teasing Oree. I only told him if he hurt her, I'd hunt him down and kill him." Dean said matter of fact before heading for the living room.

Sam stood there a moment shaking his head before following him. "Oree's not goin' to like that."

"Don't care." he said heading on down the hall. "I'm taking a shower."

"Save me some hot water." he called after him.

Sam glanced out the door and saw Oree and Cas in the swing getting cozy. He smiled and made himself comfortable on the couch with his laptop.

Oree led Castiel to the swing and pulled him down beside her. She leaned on his shoulder as she rocked the swing gently. Castiel put his arm around her pulling her close to his side.

"I didn't tell him anything." he said quietly.

"I know, Dee likes to tease." she laughed softly. "But seriously, what goes on between us is private okay? My brothers can imagine enough without you filling them in on the details."

"Alright, it will be our memories."

"Yes, ours." she smiled. "Angel can you stay for a while?"

"I would like that." he said brushing a soft kiss across her lips. "Dean did tell me if I hurt you, he would hunt me down and kill me. But I don't have a reason to hurt you; I'm not sure what he was referring to."

"Sounds about right, he means my emotions, that's what big brothers do, threaten their sister's boyfriends."

"Am I your boyfriend?" Castiel asked.

"Yes, if you want to be, do you want to be?"

"I think I would." he said thinking about it.

"I'm glad." she said awarding him with a kiss. "You know you're getting better at kissing."

"Thank you and am I getting better at sex?"

"Whoa, you don't ask things like that Angel, but if you wanna practice..." she giggled pulling him up from the swing.

Sam looked up as they came inside talking quietly to each other.

"Hi Sammy, we're going to my bedroom." she giggled pulling Castiel with her.

"We're going to practice sex." Castiel added innocently.

"Too much information there Cas." Sam said hunkering down with his laptop to hide his blushing. "You know I'm scarred for life now, can you erase the images I'm seeing?"

"If you don't want more then don't listen." Oree called back to him before shutting the door.

Sam sat back as music could be heard coming from her bedroom. He shut his laptop and headed for his bedroom hoping Dean was done in the shower and had saved him some hot water.

"You done in the bathroom?" he asked Dean from the doorway of his bedroom.

"Yep. Where's the lovebirds?"

"Gone to bed." he said making a quick exit before Dean could say anything. He didn't wanna discuss the pros and cons of their sister seeing Castiel.

Dean stood there a minute letting what Sam said sink in before pulling his pillows out and plopping down on his bed. He reached for his Ipod, which he only used because Oree had loaded all his favorite music on it, positioned the ear buds and turned it on. CCR filled his head as he settled into the pillows. His family was safe and the world had been saved, what more could he ask for. He closed his eyes and smiled.

The smell of bacon drifted down the hall and brought Dean out of a sound sleep. His stomach rumbled as he drew in a deep breath deciding it was time to get up. He headed for the bathroom and met Sam coming out.

"Figured the smell would get you up." Sam said.

"I'll be there in a minute, pour me a cup of Joe."

"You got it." Sam replied heading for the kitchen.

"Hey big brother, told Angel you guys would be in here when you smelled the food cooking." she laughed turning the bacon and checking the hash browns.

"Smells good, Dean'll be here shortly." Sam told her pouring two cups of coffee. "Morning Cas."

"Good morning Sam, did you sleep well?"

"Actually I did."

"Scrambled or fried?" Oree asked holding an egg in her hand.

"Scrambled will be fine."

"Scrambled it is." she said. "Angel want to crack the eggs for me and no shells please."

"Of course." he said getting up and taking the eggs from her.

Sam watched his sister and Castiel as he sipped his coffee. Oree whispered to him and bumped up against him playfully as they cooked together. When he thought about it, they did make a cute couple.

"What's the occasion?" Dean asked as he took a seat by Sam and watched the two cooking.

"I thought we all deserved a good breakfast and I was hungry this morning." she answered flipping the hash browns.

"Work up an appetite last night did ya?" Dean asked arching an eyebrow.

"We did practice sex several times last night and this morning." Cas answered before Oree could say anything.

Sam unfortunately was sipping coffee during this comment and began to choke on what wasn't spit across the counter prompting Dean to pound him on the back as he tried to breath.

"Angel, they don't need to know that." Oree explained to Castiel as she eyed Sam to be sure he was okay.

"I'm good." he croaked out coughing again and clearing his throat as tears ran down his face.

"Guys, Angel and I are going to be gone for a few days. We're going to go catch some rays on a beach." she said giving Castiel a very seductive look.

Dean looked from his sister to Castiel as redness begins to creep up his neck to his face. He arched an eyebrow surprised he didn't know angels could blush. Evidently something happened on a beach he was not aware of. His brow creased as he tried to figure out when they had been at the beach. He was sure he could convince Castiel to tell him, he was like a five year old willing to spill anything.

"You guys can stay here as long as you want. Might be a good idea to take a few days down time after all we've been through. There should be plenty of food in the freezer and fridge. No! No Angel don't crack the whole dozen, six will probably be enough." she instructed him. "Now take a fork and beat them." she told him after adding some milk to the eggs.

"Thanks Sis, any place in particular you're goin'" Dean asked.

"It's a little island, private, white sand beaches, I'll have my cell." she relayed as she sat plates on the table. "I expect both of you to call me, whether you leave together or apart or there's going to be hell to pay if I have to track you down. Understand? I won't be kept in the dark again."

"Yes Sis." they both said cowering slightly under her stern gaze.

"Let me get the eggs cooked and it'll be ready." she said taking the bowl from Castiel and dropping a small amount in the pan watching it sizzle. "Now watch, when it's hot you pour the eggs in and begin to stir letting them cook. When they start setting, you turn them being sure they cook through. Got that?"

"Yes." Castiel said watching her closely as the eggs cooked.

"If you'll get the juice out of the fridge and pour."

"Alright."

"Hope you guys are hungry, I kind of got carried away." Oree said as she placed bacon, ham, eggs, hash browns, toast, jams, and cut up fruit on the table.

"Wow, this all looks good." Dean said eyeing the food hungrily.

"Let's say grace." she said holding out her hands. The guys joined hands and bowed their heads. "Thank you for this food and thank you for family and allowing us to be together again. Keep us all safe, in thy name we pray. Amen."

"Amen." the others resounded before looking up.

"Dig in while it's still hot." Oree said a she started passing bowls.

Even Castiel tried some of the food even thought he didn't need to eat. The conservation was light and happy as everyone ate their fill. Dean watched Oree and Castiel sitting close and looking at each other lovingly. This was going to take some getting use to, but if his baby sister was happy, he was happy for her. He'd just make sure he had plenty of holy oil on hand in case he needed it.
