190. Grace

Dean couldn't tell when the last time he'd seen his little brother so happy had been. All he knew was that now, Sam had such a huge grin on his face that it was a wonder his face hadn't frozen like that. Dean was tempted to call that his face would get stuck like that if the wind changed but now was definitely not the right time.

"Do you, Rosemary Vivian, take Samuel Thomas to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the minister said. Rose, clad in a simple white gown with her blonde hair in a loose but fancy bun, beamed widely.

"I do!"

Dean heard a sniffle from nearby. He muffled a laugh when he saw that it was Rose's mother, Vivian, who was clutching a handkerchief to her mouth and clearly trying not to burst into loud tears.

"And do you, Samuel Thomas, take Rosemary Vivian to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

The look that Sam gave Rose made Dean's stomach do a flip-flop. That was exactly how Cas looked at him and in that moment, realising just how much his brother loved this woman, it was all he could do not to grin like an idiot.

"I do."

"The rings?"

Heart pounding, Dean stepped forward with the rings. Sam and Rose took their partner's ring and took turns sliding them onto their fingers. Dean caught Cas looking at him from his nearly empty side of the pews and rolled his eyes with a slight smirk. Cas glared back disapprovingly but his lips were twitching.

""I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Sam was already grabbing Rose and pulling her in for a deep kiss. Vivian finally let out the tears she'd been holding back and clutched at her husband, who shot an alarmed look at Dean. Dean snickered.

"Welcome to the trap of marriage," he said, clapping Sam on the back.

"Whatever, jerk." Sam rolled his eyes.

"How's it feel being Rose Winchester instead of Rose Kendrick?" Dean said to Rose. Rose tilted her head, a smile tugging at her lips.

"Rose Winchester. I like the sound of that."

"Come on, Dean." Cas had appeared by Dean's side and was tugging him away. "I think that Rose's mother may attempt to suffocate her and I want to get some fresh air."

Sure enough, Vivian was clawing her way to her slightly alarmed daughter. Dean and Cas quickly made their escape. They said hello to Garth and his wife on the way out – even if they hadn't really spoken in years, Dean still found the man annoyingly endearing and Garth had broken down in tears when Sam contacted him with an invite. He was one of the few hunters who didn't want to cut their heads off and stick them on pikes, so Dean wasn't too bothered.

"Finally," Dean sighed. "If I ever have to sit through one of those again…"

A church hadn't been Sam's first choice but the only reason he'd agreed was at Rose's request; her family had been getting married there for the past fifty years and not only did she want to uphold the tradition, it was an immediate point in her parents' books.

"Rose makes a very beautiful bride," Cas said. "I think that they will be very happy together."

"Sammy did well," Dean agreed. "She's a good catch – she is beauty, she is grace, she will punch you in the face and all that crap."

Cas snorted and kissed Dean's cheek.

"You have such a way with words, beloved."

Dean felt his cheeks begin to flush as they always did when Cas used that pet name in public.

"Y-Yeah…couldn't have thought of a better woman to be my sister-in-law – except for Charlie, if she wasn't gay and already my little sister."

"Damn right, bitch." Charlie, in her short green dress, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"Now we just need to get you hitched," Dean said. "I'm sure there's a hot chick out there with your name on her."

Charlie scoffed.

"I'm happy just the way I am. I got some only last week, so this geek is happy."

Dean exaggeratedly gagged.

"Can you not? Or I'll have to be the overprotective big brother and threaten her with death?"

"You do that and I will make your life a misery at the next LARP. Which you're totally coming to, by the way."

"Whatever."

"Oh, sweet, sweet air!" Rose cried, tugging Sam out of the church with her. "Okay, I love my mom and all but I don't think I've taken a breath in the last ten minutes!"

Dean snorted. Looking around at his weird and totally non-apple pie family, he grinned and pulled Cas into his arms, pressing a kiss to his angel's hair and breathing in his scent. Cas purred and nuzzled into his neck.

"If you're gonna do that then Rosie and I can act totally mushy in public," Sam said. Smirking, Rose ran her hands through his thick hair and kissed his jaw. Dean rolled his eyes and looked away.

"D'you reckon Mom and Dad and Bobby would be proud of us?" he said suddenly. "I'm hitched to a male ex-angel and having gay buttsex for the rest of my life –"

Sam choked on air and Rose, Cas and Charlie snorted.

"– Sammy finally found the one girl who doesn't croak from his Dick of Doom and our little sister is hella gay and the nerdiest little bitch around."

It took a while for the others to stop laughing.

"You have such a way with words, Dean," Cas said hoarsely, wiping his eyes. Dean grinned proudly.

"That's why you married me, right?"

Cas shook his head fondly and kissed Dean firmly on the lips. In that moment, with his smiling husband and laughing brother and sisters, Dean knew that he was probably the luckiest man alive.
