**Author's Note: _
Thank you guys so much!
This story was kind of fun. I think I slacked off a bit after the first chapter, but... shit happens?
Anyways, sorry that I took so long to post the epilogue, and that it wasn't much. Life has kind of got in a vice at the moment and the rush to finish my DCBB has become overwhelming, so please try to understand I wan't to write but can't exactly. Apologies.
If you also have read my story "Kingdom Come", I have a sad update. It's going to be a bit before the next chapter of that is out. No, I'm not abandoning it in any way, I just need some space at the moment. Publishing is just a little to taxing on me at the moment, and I apologize for that.
However, it means I'm going to come back with a large chapter, but I have no idea when that is going to happen.
Honestly- don't expect anything new from me until my DCBB is published, and even then, I still may be in "hiatus". Or just expect random one-shots from me.
Anyways, I tried to make this kind of cutesy and fluffy for you guys.
Que the kids being teenagers and whatever. Oh well.
It's not much, but I'm not in the position to really write at the moment. Apologies once again.
Enjoy!~
"Leia!" Dean yells, chasing after his fourteen-year-old daughter with vigor, "Dammit, get back here!"
Castiel snorts as he fixes Luke's shirt for school.
"Why does Dean have to curse like that, dad?" Luke looks towards Castiel, his blue eyes wide and innocent for someone who's basically a teenager, "It's very informal."
Castiel smiles, ruffling Luke's light blonde hair as he straightens himself out, "Because, your father is an informal person just like your sister. Quite the opposite of us, don't you think?"
"I always thought that's why you and Dean clicked." Luke says sincerely, "And I agree with you. Leia is a handful most days. I have to keep her from getting into trouble with teachers and other kids almost constantly."
"That's just because she's overly protective over you."
Luke nods, "Yeah, yeah… I know… 'Cause I'm an omega like daddy."
Castiel shakes his head, "No, because your sister cares about you. It doesn't matter that she's an alpha. She would make sure that you're okay because you're who she relies on. The thought of having someone hurt you or worse pushes too many of her buttons."
"Leia!" Dean nearly tackles his daughter to the ground as she full-on sprints, "You need to brush your hair!"
"Can't I just get it cut like Luke!?" she whines loudly, her green eyes pleading, "I don't like having such long hair! I look dumb with it!"
"No you don't, now come here!"
Castiel sighs, coming over to his daughter and placing a hand on her shoulder gently, "Leia."
She hangs her head, her raven hair knotted in the back as it comes into Castiel's view, "Fine… Daddy can brush it…"
Dean walks over with a huff, still obviously winded from chasing his daughter from earlier, "Thanks, Cas."
Dean makes quick work of the knot, pulling the brush through it effectively and getting it out of Leia's hair in a few, quick strokes. Their daughter wiggles away afterwards, punching Dean lightly in the arm before running over to Luke to make sure he was ready for school.
"She's got your personality." Castiel murmurs, watching as Dean winces when rubbing his arm.
"She's got my hittin' arm too… Ouch."
Castiel chuckles at his mate and loops an arm around his shoulders, the pair watching as their kids get onto the bus and wave goodbye.
"Imagine when they start high school next year…" Castiel murmurs, "Isn't that going to be a trip?"
Dean groans, "Ugh, don't remind me, Cas. I've already had like, five families come asking me about them already. I understand if talking to the parents to get permission for courting is the proper way- but my kids aren't damn items to bid over."
Castiel nods in agreement, "Luke is worried that Leia is too protective over him."
"Yeah, I know. She's got all of the 'just-presented' alpha in her at the moment… Did Luke say anything else?"
They both watch as the bus leaves, and afterwards the two begin going up the steps of their house as Castiel speaks, "Last night he informed me that he's worried about when his first heat hits."
"I'll be there for him. I've already talked to him about it a little bit, even took him to places that offered… stuff." Dean shuts the door behind them with some blush coloring his tanned skin, "He was flustered, but he's now prepared for it, just in case."
"I told you that you'd be a good parent."
"Shut your mouth." Dean teases, "I always knew it, even if it was subconsciously."
Castiel rolls his eyes playfully, "Says the man who tried feeding his baby brother worms-"
"I told you that was a joke!" Dean whines, pouting, "God, I wish I didn't say it."
Castiel just snorts, "Or maybe it's like you and Hershey kisses-"
"Don't you dare." Dean presses a finger onto Castiel's chapped lips, "That is a reasonable thing to be paranoid over and no one can ever convince me otherwise."
"Who am I even mated to?"
"Me!" Dean says incredulously, sticking out his tongue like an immature child in a fit.
Castiel smiles, "Like I could ever forget that…"
Dean just fake punches Castiel in the arm, "Whatever, you dick. Now come on, the kids are going to be gone for a few hours and well… M'horny."
Castiel represses a laugh as Dean drags him into their room, and he can't help but secretly thank his stupid older brother for making him get his shit together.
Well- without the drugging part, of course.
And all the other things.
Castiel is only slightly grateful now that he thinks about it. You know what- fuck Gabe.
"You're thinking about Gabe again aren't you?" Dean asks, dragging them onto their mattress.
"Maybe."
"Don't-" Dean kisses Castiel's cheek, "makes sex awkward."
Castiel tilts his head.
Dean sighs, "You get this like, scowl, and I have to deal with looking at it while you fuck me. It's like you're unsatisfied or angry and it makes me feel weird."
"I could never be unsatisfied with you."
Dean blushes, "T-Thanks, Cas… I always try in the bedroom."
"You've been like a pioneer since I mated you."
"Of course I have been-" Dean looks at Castiel in disbelief, "there are still territories of this sexual wonderland that you and I have not explored yet."
"Well…" Castiel murmurs, "I suppose we can't start now."
Dean smiles, and pulls Castiel into a deep kiss.
So yeah- it's not exactly a "happily ever after", but dammit- it's close.
