Epilogue

It was two weeks after being released from hospital when Dean sauntered into Bobby's kitchen.

He wasn't surprised to see found Sam already washed and dressed, sitting with his legs crossed on his seat.

His brother always had been an early bird…Dean preferred to get up late and party hard the night before! Well, get drunk out of his mind considering he wasn't on top picking-up-girls form.

Sam looked up when he heard his brother approach and grinned, pointing to a plate of home-cooked waffles.

"Hey dude, didn't think you were ever gonna come out of the cave."

Dean scribbled down a quick note.

'I am Batman after all.'

"In your dreams, jerk."

'Bitch.' Dean gave Sam a mock offended.

"So, you gonna eat your waffles or not?"

Dean gave up pretending to be pissed at Sam, those waffles smelt damn sexy and there were even some pots of sauces laid out for him…strawberry, cherry and…no…yes! Sam had bought him apple sauce!

He had raised his baby brother well!

Dean was in heaven as he took his first bite…and second…an third…using nothing but his fingers.

Fingers came before cutlery after all.

"Dude, you eat like a pig."

'Pigs don't use their fingers…just their mouths. In fact, they don't have fingers, they have trotters…what did they teach you at college?'

"Important stuff, like law."

Sam could see Dean's eyebrow rise from beneath the obligatory pair of sunglasses.

"Man, are you seriously gonna wear those all the time…you look like someone off a cheesy cop show."

Dean's brow rose even further…Sam was sure the hairs would start touching the sky if Dean carried on like that.

"Fine, fine…" Sam stood and gave Dean a soft punch in the arm before spouting out something about research.

Dean sighed and turned back to his waffles, brimming with frustration at his lack of voice.

At that moment in time, he wanted nothing more than to yell at Sam that he hits like a girl…but here he was, stuck being silent.

Dean brooded for another ten minutes before a set of heavy footprints alerted him that Bobby was approaching.

"Morning idjit, or should I say afternoon, lazy ass."

Dean smirked and chucked a piece of waffle at Bobby, who caught it and shoved it in his mouth.

"Chuck us another bit will ya?"

Dean grabbed his notepad.

'Bite me.'

Bobby caught the screwed up ball of paper that Dean chucked at his head and chuckled at the message.

"Don't tempt me boy, I could whip your ass any day."

Dean winced a little at the mention of a whip. Not all of the cuts on his back were made by a knife, after a while, the demon had decided to get creative...to hot things up a bit.

Bobby noticed.

"Shit, sorry kiddo, I didn't mean…"

Dean nodded and stood abruptly, giving Bobby his best attempt of an I'm fine smile before heading out of the door and outside to the Impala.

She could do with another coat of wax, even if he did have to apply it one handed.

"BALLS!"

"What?" Sam hurried back into the room after hearing Bobby curse and a smashing sound.

Bobby had knocked the plate of waffles onto the floor in frustration.

He really needed to learn when to shut his cake hole.

"I screwed up. Big time."

"Dean?"

"Yeah."

"I'll talk to him."

Sam pulled Bobby into a gruff hug and mumbled a smart ass comment about Bobby needing to quit taking his frustration out on the crockery before heading outside to find Dean perched on the bonnet of the Impala.

"Dean? You ok?"

Dean gave a short nod and shrugged his shoulders.

I'm fine Sammy, quit fussing like a freakin mother hen.

"Well, I guess if you are fine, there is no point in me heading to the store and buying some pie for dinner. You clearly aren't in need of comfort food"

Dean shot Sam a lop sided grin and was about to jot down a sarcastic retort when he spotted the figure standing a few feet from his little brother.

"SAM!" Dean's voice was hoarse after weeks of silence, but it was enough to alert Sam that he was in danger.

Dean's warning came out of nowhere and in a second he had pushed Sam to the floor, out of harms way and was stabbing the demon with Ruby's knife.

The demon crumpled to the ground, landing in a pool of blood.

"Shit! Dean! Are you alright?"

Dean nodded blankly, staring at the bloody knife in his hands for a moment before wiping it clean on the grass beneath his feet and shoving it in his pocket.

Then, he knelt down and helped Sam up, patting him down and scanning him for injuries.

"I'm fine." Dean nodded in relief and began to head into the house again. "Dean!"

Dean turned.

"You spoke! You called out my name…you said something."

A puzzled expression overtook Dean's face before he broke into a grin.

"Oh. Well, I guess your hide needed saving."

Sam laughed at Dean's expression before sprinting over to his brother, pulling him into a hug and whooping with delight.

"God, I – I don't believe…oh Dean! I-"

"Shuddup girly bitch, don't go all chick-flick on me – it should have been you who lost your voice so I don't have to hear your girly whining all day!"

"Yep, you are well and truly back to normal."

Dean gave a theatrical bow and headed inside, Sam close behind.

Bobby came into the hallway to apologize to Dean and froze at the sight before him.

"Shit, what happened? You're covered in blood!"

"I'm fine, a demon was attacking Sam and I saved his scrawny ass."

"A demon! What the hell…WAIT! Dean…you spoke!"

"Thanks genius!"

"But…why now?"

"I dunno, Sam was in trouble so I called out a warning to him and…"

Dean made a non-committal gesture at his body as if to say that he didn't have a clue either before he was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace.

"Jeez, arm…ARM Bobby!"

"Oh, sorry…"

Bobby pulled back, looking worried for a moment before bursting out laughing at the look of shock on Dean's face.

"Get inside you idjits before I make you."

"I'd like to see you try old man."

"Oi, less of the old, Dean!"

Sam smirked and followed Bobby and Dean inside.

They were home now.

And, it looked as if things were as back to normal as they could ever be around the Winchesters.
