A/N: Ok guyz so this story is officially done. I really could do another few chapters to it but i have chosen to focus more on my other two stories "There is Always Hope" and "We Are One." I am working on the other story I mentioned a while back but it's a work in progress and as soon as I get close to finishing or finish one of these other two stories then I'll upload that next story. No deets on what it's about or what it's called though so you'll just have to be patient ;)
Anyways I would just like to say thanks again for all the major support you have all been awesome :) One day I would like to look at all of these ideas in this story and more but in a different story where I actually planned for it to go on and happen. I'm not saying that this story was bad or anything just that I'm not fully exploring all those routes until later.
So this is the last chapter and who knows maybe ill see some of you in my other stories. For now enjoy the last chappie :)
Celest ^i^
Dean sat in a chair looking out at a meadow as it rippled and undulated from the wind blowing it downwards. He closed his eyes and breathed in the fair smell of the wildflowers just coming into bloom and the whisper of the wind through the trees from far away. He heard distant laughter coming towards him and opened his eyes to see his grandson running across to him.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Look what Sam helped me find!" cried the young child as the golden retriever followed close to the small boy.
Dean smiled as he leaned down and picked the boy up under his armpits and placed him on his lap. "Ahh what did you find?"
"Look!" the boy held up a long feather. Dean chuckled as he recognized the honey golden bronze tinted feather. "Sam was sniffing around a bush and this was there! What's it from?"
"Well little fella that's a feather from an angel," Dean told him ruffling his hair. "A special angel. Hmm I would say that Grandpa Gabriel gave you a very precious gift."
Luke's eyes widened, "Really?! This came from Grandpa Gabe?!"
"Yup," Dean nodded his head. "You should take good care of it; it's not common for an angel to give away one of its feathers like that. It means he really likes you." Dean leaned closer to Luke and whispered in his ear, "Don't tell him I told you but I think you're his favorite."
Luke giggled on his lap and there was a soft flapping of wings.
"Grandpa Gabe! Grandpa Cass!" shouted Luke as he wriggled off of Dean's lap and hugged both angels under their knees.
They gazed down at the little boy with pride shining in their eyes. Gabe bent down and grabbed the little boy hefting him up into his arms, "Hey you little squirt how's the pickings out there?"
"Hey I'm not a squirt!" he reprimanded the archangel.
Gabriel winked at him, "Well I don't know you're still pretty tiny there."
Luke punched him in the arm, "I am not! Just you wait Grandpa Gabe I'm gonna grow up big and strong."
Gabriel whooshed out a pretend breath of air and yelled dramatically, "Holy cow the kid has a punch! He's gonna be one big strong giant when he grows up!"
Dean and Castiel grinned at the two of them. Suddenly a door opened behind them and some quick footsteps. "Luke I hope you're not bothering them!" shouted a woman's voice.
"No mommy I promise!" Luke shouted back.
"It's ok Mary he's no bother," Castiel called out to the young woman as he smiled at her gently.
She smiled back at him with her dimples shining out. "Ok dad but I know how that little guy can be. He's quite the armful."
Gabriel grinned at her, "And who does that remind you of?"
Mary scoffed and held her hand up to her chest, "Hey big boy I only learned from the best." She grinned at them, "Are you guys going to stay for supper?"
Castiel and Gabriel both nodded, "If that's not an issue with you."
"Oh please! I love having all my parents under the same roof! Sunday dinner is never quite the same," she smiled at them. "Come on Luke I need you to wash up, supper is in ten minutes."
Luke pouted as Gabriel put him down. He ran towards the door, "Mommy! Look what Sam found in the woods for me!"
The three of them chuckled as the door closed behind them. Dean turned back in his chair and gazed out at the horizon as far as the eye could see. Gabriel and Castiel stood on either side of him. Dean couldn't believe it; he had everything he wanted out of life; his bonded partners to him, a beautiful daughter and a wonderful grandson. It has been 50 years since he first was bonded with Castiel and Gabriel and every step of the way, every single day, has been a long whirlwind adventure ride. Would he ever take it back? No.
Sam had died a few years ago and Dean still felt his passing like an everyday ache deep in his chest. He missed his brother, more than words could say. Balthazar had disappeared right after Sam had passed. The only consolation that Dean had that his brother was ok was Gabriel and Castiel assuring him that Sam and his angel waited in their own personal heaven for the day for Dean to join him.
And Dean could feel it wouldn't be long now. He didn't know how to describe it but he felt tired, and so very old. His hair had grayed a long time ago and his body had slowly withered away till he was thinner and weaker than he usually was. He had his own insecurities that the angels wouldn't be as interested with him as he aged but he realized quickly on how stupid he was to think like that. They stuck with him through thick and thin. They both had supported him when he told them he wanted to grow old and live his life how any normal person would do so, he didn't want them to try and keep him young forever and they had graciously bowed their heads at that.
Dean reached up and gripped the necklace that Gabriel had given him so long ago after he had known that he was pregnant with Mary. Two angel wings, one honey gold the other raven black with highlights of blue. He had never taken it off in all these years. It felt as if even if the angel's weren't standing next to him physically that they weren't really far. They always rested over his heart.
He suddenly looked over at the trees on his right and saw a figure clothed in white. He bowed to him and smiled. "Come home," seemed to whisper in the trees and with that the figure turned around and walked off.
"Chuck?" Dean whispered quietly.
"Dean?" asked Castiel having heard him.
"It's nothing Cass," Dean assured the angel. He looked out over the sunset and somehow knew that this was his last day. He savored the suns warm rays as it bathed them in gold's and oranges as it slowly sank below the horizon. Looking back at the trees Dean didn't see the robed figure again but he smiled.

A Few Hours Later

Dean was dreaming or so he thought. He was on a white road walking towards these tall gates. Two figures waited near the gates and he walked quicker to reach them; instinctively he knew who they were and was proven right as he came to stand in front of Gabriel and Castiel.
"Ready Deano for the next big adventure?" asked Gabriel raising his eyebrows.
"So that's it?" asked Dean. "I'm just dead."
"Just like that," Gabriel said as he popped a lollipop in his mouth.
"You died in your sleep not five minutes ago Dean," Castiel told the ex-hunter.
Dean glanced back from where he came from and a hand grabbed onto his shoulder. Turning back he saw Gabriel staring at him intently.
"It's your time Dean," the archangel insisted lowly. "They will join us all one day but for now they have to live their own lives. We will keep a close watch on them."
Dean nodded, "Yeah I know it's just I didn't even really get a chance to say goodbye."
"You don't have to Dean," Castiel told him gently. "It's more of a see you soon gesture if anything."
Dean smiled at them, "Ok well let's get this new journey on the road," he said enthusiastically as he clapped his hands together.
The doors opened and together the three of them stepped through as a bright light overtook them.
A/N: it kind of reminded me of when Rose dies after the Titanic movie in her bed and she meets up with all the people she loves. Well I guess some people could say it was a dream but I like to think that she was finally reunited with the people she cared about so highly. :)
Anyways you all tune into the last episode of Supernatural this Wednesday! It's gonna be a big one!
