Castiel stays at the bunker, while Sam and Eileen goes to hunt what happens to be a new kind of wraith. And Dean goes to work on his own werewolf case alone, he needs time to think now that Cas is back from the Empty. When he comes back from the hunt, he has a small cut on his cheek and his muscles are sore, Castiel offers to take care of the last one and thanks him for saving people, saving the world, like he deserves it. He doesn’t just massage his back.
Warning: fluff, like one swear word, implied sexy time (nothing happens), mentioned Sam x Eileen
A/N: This was written for @charlotteswinchester‘s writing challenge. This is set in a AU and I used the song “Just Another Day in Paradise” by Phil Vassar; some lyrics are bolded while others are embedded in the story (the lyrics were too long and told the story too much to leave as they were, so I implied that they are there). Enjoy!
Dean woke up in the morning at 8:25 on Tuesday to the sound of his kids screaming for whatever reason, the phone ringing for a moment before being picked up, and their dog, Parker (he was a Sheppard mix), barking, probably at the mailman out the window. He had a feeling that he was bringing by some bills that were overdue. Getting up, he slipped on his robe and made his way downstairs where his wife (Y/N) was making breakfast as Jude and Charlie, their four year old twins, were chatting away at the table.
“Good morning, baby, how are you?” Dean asked as he placed a kiss on (Y/N)'s cheek before reaching into the fridge for the milk.
“Morning babe. I'm good. Sleep well?”
“Yeah. Got a half hour to take a shower before I have to get ready for work,” he replied, taking a sip of the milk. He pulled it away with a look of disgust. It had gone sour.
(Y/N) started laughing at Dean's reaction and groaned playfully when he twisted the top back on and put it back in the fridge.
“Gross dear,” she shook her head as she served breakfast for her family. After breakfast, the kids went upstairs to get dressed before she took them to daycare for the day and Dean went to shower before heading down to the mechanic shop he owned with his father and uncle. She decided to get some laundry done, but there was a problem. The load from last night didn't finish its cycle. The machine broke.
“Damn it,” she cursed, kicking the machine hoping it would start.
“Whoa, hey now. Baby, don't kick it. Look, I promise I'll fix it when I get home, okay?” Dean promised, placing calming hands on her shoulders. “Well, I can add “fix washing machine to my list of about a million other things” he thought to himself, smiling when (Y/N) blew out a breathe before relaxing.
“Okay. I love you,” she wrapped her arms around his waist, her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, placing a kiss to the top of her head. “I love you, too.”
Well, it's ok. It's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
If Dean was being honest with himself, there was no place that he'd rather be. Their life was built with two hearts and one dream. He wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Every night before they went to bed, Dean would get down on his knees and pray to God, asking the Lord for just another day in paradise. His life wasn't what he'd call “perfect” but to him, nothing else was better.
Friday night, (Y/N) was held up in a meeting at the college she worked at as a (insert teaching style) and she got home late. Dean was waiting for her at the door and one look at his watch told him that they'd never make their dinner date at the restaurant they had their first date at. (Y/N) started to cry a little, saying it was her fault, that if she had just gotten out earlier.
“Hey now. Baby, it's okay. We'll just improvise and go out tomorrow. I'll call Jo, let her know that she doesn't have to come tonight and see if she can come tomorrow, while you go get comfy, okay?” Dean stated, cupping her cheek, his thumb catching the tears rolling down her face.
“Yeah, that sounds great,” she sighed, a happy smile playing on her lips. Well, plan B turned out to be some Domino's pizza twenty minutes later in he candle light in their kitchen. Jude and Charlie having gone to bed about an hour ago. After dinner, Dean took (Y/N) by the hand and they were literally tippy-toeing up the stairs to their room. With the kids asleep, they decided it was time to make a little love that was overdue.
(Y/N) had just gotten Dean's shirt off when their door opened. Charlie was standing in the doorway, her little brown bear clutched in her hand as she knuckled at her eyes. Tears were slowly falling from her dark green eyes.
“Oh sweetie, did you have a bad dream?” (Y/N) asked, already knowing the answer as she knelt in front of their daughter.
“Uh-huh. Mama, Daddy, can me and teddy sleep with you please?” she nodded her head, asking softly. They weren't going to deny her that.
“Of course honey. Mommy and I were just getting ready for bed ourselves. We didn't go to dinner, so Jo didn't come by. But she will tomorrow. You climb under those covers and we'll be right back, okay?” Dean replied, picking her up under the arms and gently tossing her onto their bed, taking in her light giggles. She gave a nod and crawled under the covers in the middle as they walked into their bathroom and got ready. There was always tomorrow.
By morning, Dean will wake up and find that Jude had joined them at some time in the middle of the night, curled around Charlie like he was protecting her. (Y/N) laid on the left side of the bed, her arm draped over their kids. Dean smiled and placed a kiss the each of their temples before getting up and fixing the blankets around them. He'd make breakfast while they slept.
Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
As Dean made breakfast, he couldn't help but think that he was so lucky to have this life. There literally was no place that he'd rather be. He and (Y/N) had found their dream house, fixed it up, and it took both their hearts to make it their home. He placed the food on the larger serving tray they had and made his way upstairs where he could hear his family just starting to wake up. Walking in, he found (Y/N) sitting up, hair a mess and a sleepy smile as she watched Jude and Charlie play with Parker before catching Dean's eyes. He wouldn't trade this for anything. He made sure to thank the Lord again that night and again asked for just another day in paradise.
Well, it's ok. It's so nice.
It's just another day in paradise.
Well, there's no place that
I'd rather be
Two hearts
And one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the lord every night
For just another day in paradise
Come Monday, the same routine played out. He woke up to the kids screaming and their phone ringing. Sam calling to make sure they could make it Saturday for the barbecue at his and Eileen's place. The week went by, (Y/N) came home late again Friday due to another meeting, but it was okay. Dean had dinner waiting for her when she got home, Jude and Charlie exclaiming about how they helped. It was perfect. It was just another day in paradise.
Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise
