CHAPTER 8

After they had taken all the boxes containing Sam's and DJ's stuff from the car. They all got in and took off to do some shopping. The first on their to do list was to buy furniture for the boys.

They entered the Ashley Furniture HomeStores. Dean didn't like these big stores but Sam said they have good quality furnitures and were quite famous too. There were furnitures of various types and shapes all around them. A fat bald man came and greeted them , "Good morning , gentlemen. I am Erin. I will be showing you around. If you could tell me what you need ?"

"Morning. We would like to see some queen size beds." Sam replied.

"Very well if you would follow me , please."

The Winchesters followed Erin. Sam and Dean in front. Adam and DJ behind them with DJ holding Adam's hand.

The kid had insisted to hold Adam's hand only. And Adam didn't mind in the least. He liked it. He was feeling a little out of place but this helped.

"Okay, here are all queen sizes. You can take a look. If you need something , please call me." With that Erin made his way towards other customers.

"Look Sam , this one's nice. It is Mahogany. It looks good and durable." Dean said while inspecting the bed and checking the quality of the wood.

"Huh. It looks good. What do you think Adam and DJ ?" Sam said also inspecting the bed and knocking on it a little to check the quality. After he was satisfied , he looked at the boys.

"Its fine." Adam said looking a little nervous. He didn't mind what kind of bed they buy , he doesn't have any money and Dean and Sam were providing for him , he was in no position to demand.

"But its not Spiderman.I don't like it. I want Spiderman." DJ said with a frowning expression on his little face and crossing his arms.

"How about we buy some Spiderman bedsheets , pillows and blankets. Would that be alright with you , Sir ?" Dean asked crouching in front of DJ.

DJ's face split into a huge dimpled grin and he nodded.

They called Erin and made their way to see some dressers. Erin showed them a variety of dressers and they decided on buying two horizontal dressers each consisting of three rows of long , wide drawers and a top row of six small drawers.

Then last item on their list from the Ashley was to buy two armoires for the boys to keep their clothes in. Then they paid for their stuff and gave their address so that the stuff could be delivered. It was decided that Dean would pay for Adam's stuff and Sam would pay for DJ's. And for the rest of the stuff like grocery , they would pay equally. It was only fair.

Their next stop in the journey was Walmart. There they could buy everything else they needed.

They were checking the mattresses. Each Winchester boy has his own method to decide the most comfortable one. DJ was bouncing on every mattress and having an awesome time. Adam though a little hesitant was checking one too after Sam insisted. Sam told DJ not to bounce after he saw a salesman glaring at them.

"Hey, kiddo. You are not supposed to jump on them." Sam said picking up his still jumping son and putting him on the ground.

"But , Daddy. Unca Dean is doing too." DJ said pointing towards Dean who was also though not jumping but definitely bouncing a little.

Sam shook his head and sighed. It was like he and Adam were the only adults in the group. The same glaring salesman came and this time instead of DJ , he pointed towards a bouncing Dean. God ! His brother can be a little kid sometimes. And at those times Sam had the feeling that instead of one he had two kids.

"You done , kiddo. Or you want to play some more." Sam asked Dean sarcastically.

Dean blushed a little. And got up and cleared his throat after he had slapped Sam upside down the head.

"Ow , dude."

"Ya deserve it."

There was a laughing and giggling sound behind them. They turned and saw Adam laughing and DJ giggling. It was the first time they had seen Adam laugh. And it was a beautiful sight. Thought Sam. Dean couldn't explain it but he felt warmth seeing the kid laughing.

Adam was surprised when a laugh broke out of him. It had been so long since he had laughed. But when Dean and Sam looked at him , surprised. He looked down quickly.

Sam and Dean let the boys decide which mattress they found most comfortable to buy. DJ liked all of them but with his Daddy's help , he decided one.

They were next looking for some bedsheets and pillows. A young man was face-timing with his wife in the same department as they were.

"I miss you too, baby. I know..." It all sounded blah blah blah and baby , baby to Dean. The couples nowadays were weird. They talked with eachother in baby talk and that is annoying. Contrary to popular believes , it is so not cute. And who face-time with his girlfriend or whatever in the freaking Walmart. Dean thought shaking his head. But the woman the man was talking to was smoking hot. He tried to look more at the hot woman but his brother shoved him with his elbow none too gently in the ribs.

"Really , Dean ?". Sam couldn't believe his brother. The man was like right behind them.

"Sorry , mom." Dean said glaring at Sam.

"You should not lie. Lying is bad. You have to go to time-out." DJ said seriously to the man who was still face-timing. The man looked confused and looked at Sam and then Dean.

"What are you saying , kiddo." Sam had no clue what his son was saying.

"Daddy , he is saying baby. But I saw that was not a baby. That was a big girl. Babies are little , they cannot speak. They are a little stupid too , they just stare and do nothing. That was a big girl who was speaking. " DJ nodded his head , his little face complete serious.

Dean burst out laughing. And soon Adam followed. DJ was the most adorable kid , he had ever met. Thought Adam. Adam tried to control his laughter but seeing the man's face it became next to impossible.

Sam wanted to laugh but again he was the Dad here , he cannot laugh and though his son had said the truth , he still would have to apologise. 'Baby' should be used for babies only. But he cannot laugh though he wanted to so badly. He pinched himself a little and looked at the man to apologise.

The man in his haste to end the call drop his phone.

"Look now he had hurt the girl too." DJ said shaking his head and looking worried for the girl. In his three year old mind , the girl was inside the phone and the man hurt the girl by dropping his phone.

"Is she alright ?" He asked innocently but was cut off by Sam.

"Okay, thats enough young man. Look man , I am sorry." Sam said.

"No problem." With that the man left hurriedly. He was blushing too hard and was embarrassed.

"God , I love this kid soo much." Dean said still laughing.

DJ looked at Sam and said , "You mad Daddy? I said the truth."

"I know son. But next time , you wanna say something , say to me , your uncle or Adam first. Okay ?"

"Okay , daddy."

"This kid can embarrass anyone without even trying. I am proud of ya , son." Dean said ruffling DJ's hair. It was the cutest dumbest thing Dean had ever seen. Sam laughed a little too. It was funny and the man's expression was priceless. Also seeing Adam laughing was a cherry on the cake.

After they were done with bedsheets , blankets and pillows. They were on their way to buy some paint supplies. The aisle containing painting stuff was just after the aisle containing toys , games and other stuff for kids.

"Pweeseeee , Daddy can we go there ?" DJ asked pointing to the toys aisle in a little puppy dog expression that he had inherited from Sam. And Sam hated himself for that , how could he say no to that ? In that moment Sam could understand all of Dean's grumbling about him using his puppy eyes to get anything he want.

"We will after once we buy all the other stuff ." Sam said.

"But Daddy, I'm bored. Pweese... " DJ said and then he looked at Dean. The kid was really smart, ofcourse Dean would take his side. Thought Sam.

Dean looked at DJ , God ! This kid had really wrapped me around his little finger.

"Sam , you go ahead and buy other stuff we need , I could take DJ."

"Yayyyy." DJ said happily.

"Okay , You know DJ could get you do anything." Sam said shaking his head. Dean could do anything for DJ, the kid just had to look at his uncle. And wham ! His wish would come true.

"Adam , you come with me and Unca Dean , pweese." DJ said holding Adam's hand and Adam nodded. He was no better than Dean when it comes to DJ.

They were in the toy aisle. Three shelves were covered with soft toys. 'Who want a stuffed banana or a stuffed star or a stuffed squirrel ?' Dean thought. Apparently , kids want.

DJ look around a moment and then he decided on a stuffed dog on the bottom shelf. Hugging it tightly to his chest, he said , "Can I pweese have Max , Unca Dean ?"

"Max ? Since you named it , already. You can have it."

"You're the best Unca in the world." DJ said smiling his biggest smile at his uncle.

"That I am." He ruffled DJ's hair affectionately and looked at Adam who was at the shelf containing basketballs.

Adam loves basketball. He used to play with his friends at school and at the park near the apartment. He took one out and bounced it a little and then after seeing its price , he placed it back. He didn't have any money. And no way , he would ask Dean or Sam to buy him one. His mom was about to buy him a new one since he had lost his old one but that was before her accident.

Dean saw Adam looking at the price tag of the basketball and then putting it back. He didn't say anything just took DJ's hand in his and exited the aisle with Adam following behind them.

Sam had bought all the painting stuff they would need to paint the boys room and met with his brother at the grocery department of the store.

"Daddy , meet Max. Max likes you. You like him too , daddy ?" DJ asked showing his stuffed dog to Sam.

And Sam nodded smiling. Dean would buy DJ the whole store if the kid had asked. So he was relieved that that didn't happen.

The next was the grocery shopping and it didn't took much time. They bought some vegetables a lot of green much to Dean's dismay and Sam's delight. Some fruits , cereals , snacks , milks and eggs.

They were all standing in a line at the checkout counter of the store.

"Man , I forgot something. I will just go and bring it." Dean said.

Sam nodded and after a few minutes Dean came carrying a basketball in his hands. Sam raised his eyebrows at his brother but Dean just ignored him and placed the ball besides other stuff at the checkout counter.

Adam saw Dean carrying the same ball he had picked from the shelf earlier. He was surprised. Way too surprised. He didn't understand. He thought Dean hated him. But you don't buy stuff for someone you hate , right ?. Maybe Dean had bought it for himself.

After they had paid for the stuff and gave their address so that the mattresses would be delivered , they made their way out of the store. There was so much stuff that a store employee had to come to help them in carrying all of it to their car.
