There's something about an ending that's not really an ending. Some things should never be left unsettled, and some things should be left just as they are.

Our family was one of those things that should be left just as it is.

"Hellion, I swear," Dean muttered. But his reprimand was accompanied by a grin I recognized, and one that I coveted.

"I love ya too, old man," I spat as I adjusted my body on the couch.

On my right sat Dean and Sam; to my left, Cas.

Dean had one of my small feet in his hands while his nimble thumbs worked the arch like it was his Baby.

Sam had his arm tucked around the back of the couch, his long fingers tucked into the strands of hair at the back of my head.

And Cas?

Well, he had one arm resting on the armrest next to him, and his other hand resting on my rounded belly.

"Are you feeling ill?"

I rolled my eyes in Castiel's direction, though he knew I wasn't really annoyed.

"Yes, my sweet man. I am fine. Now, are we gonna watch this movie, or what?," I asked.

Dean tsked and squeezed my foot.

"Sam, press play on the remote."

The television screen went black and suddenly the title popped up. When I read the title, I groaned.

"Dean! You said I would never have to watch another stupid movie!"

Dean chuckled.

"Rambo is not stupid!"

I scoffed and Castiel leaned forward to nibble on my earlobe.

"If you watch this movie with Dean, you shall be justly rewarded."

Dean groaned this time, and Sam smirked.

"Ew, Cas. I thought we talked about a little thing called subtlety?," Dean asked.

Castiel smirked in his direction.

"I have lived for centuries, Dean. Melody is my mate. When you find yours, you too shall have to remind yourself to be subtle."

Dean green eyes seemed cloudy at this, but instead of saying anything, he simply turned the volume up on the remote.

I wrapped my free hand around his arm and moved his hand to rest on my belly.

"I know you're havin' a tough time right now, Dean. But when you're feelin' low, just remember that we're your family. And we will always love you," I reminded him as the Mark of Cain caught my eye.

We were always going to face challenges together; but that was the key word: together.

"Did you feel that?"

I peeked up at Castiel and nodded.

"Our little angel has been kickin' up a storm."

Sam's large hand came forward, as well as Dean's, and suddenly I had three man hands on my belly hump.

"Who woulda thought a little baby could change so much?," Sam whispered thoughtfully. I smiled.

"Yeah...who woulda thought?"

As Sylvester Stallone came onto the screen, Dean turned to face the TV excitedly, leaving Castiel and I smiling goofily at him.

Family.

All we really needed, was family.

THE END
