"Dean! She needs a diaper change and I've been on diaper duty all morning," Cas called to Dean who was upstairs somewhere.

Cas held their new baby girl in his arms and smiled. They had adopted a beautiful girl two months ago. She had blue eyes just like him and her smile made his heart melt.

The three month old cooed happily in his arms and took his finger in her mouth. Cas laughed but let her do what she wished.

Dean came down the stairs freshly shaven and showered. He smiled at Cas and their daughter affectionately. "Hey, gorgeous," he said picking her up out of Cas's arms.

"Are you ready to see your grandparents and aunt and uncles, Grace?," Dean asked as he laid her down gently on a blanket to change her.

Cas nodded and smiled. His life has been nothing but simple since he left Hollywood for good two years ago. Ana was still in prison and had no signs of making bail or getting out anytime soon. Dean had taken a job as a police officer in Pontiac and moved up to head detective in only a year.

As for Cas, he was more than happy to stay home and change diapers all day. They even planned on having more. He looked down his left hand and played with his wedding band, twisting it around his ring finger.

He and Dean got married in the middle of town square a year ago where they were surrounded by Dean's family, Jo, Ellen, Gabe and Kali. It was absolutely perfect.

The door bell rang breaking him out of his own happy thoughts. "Can you get that, babe?," Dean asked over his shoulder while buttoning back up Grace's onsie.

Cas stood up, "Of course."

He walked over to the large wooden front door and opened it. Mary, John, Jess and Sam stood excitedly in front of him. He smiled and moved out of the way so they could come in.

Mary gave him a sweet kiss on his cheek as she passed. Sam clapped a friendly hand on his back and Jess pulled him into a tight hug even with her big belly in the way.

He placed a gentle hand on her belly and laughed with joy. "You're getting so close!"

Jess laughed along and put her hand on her back for support. "Oh yeah. He's kicking like crazy but right now all I want to do is eat!"

"It's coming along," he assured her as she walked off to join her husband.

John stood still in the frame of the door and gave Cas a warm smile. "It's so nice to be here, Cas."

He smiled back. He liked when John called him Cas instead of his whole name. He stuck his hand out for him to shake but was surprised when John pulled him into a tight hug of his own.

Cas let out a laugh as he patted Johns back fondly. "I'm really glad you guys are here," he said while he pulled away.

John smiled and nodded. "Is Grace up?," he asked peeking around Cas's shoulder.

Cas moved out of the way and gestured to the living room where Dean was showing her off to his family. John smiled widely and walked to go join his family.

Cas closed the door not bothering to lock it. Another thing he loved about living in Illinois. He made his way to the kitchen and felt his mouth water at all the delicious smells that were flowing from within.

He never used to celebrate Thanksgiving until Dean showed him just how great it was. And it really was. It was undoubtedly his favorite holiday. He set the long dining table easily and placed the food in the middle easily.

He walked into the living room where Jess was rocking Grace sweetly with Mary was cooing at her. Dean, John and Sam were laughing together. It was probably work stories.

He cleared his throat from the entryway and gained everyone's attention instantly. "Dinners ready," he announced.

Jess jumped up and handed Grace to Dean who laughed at his sister in laws reaction. They gathered around the table with Grace settled comfortably in her baby carrier on Dean. She was sleeping peacefully.

They passed dishes around and laughed each others jokes. Jess updated everyone that her due date was the following month and they were hoping for a Christmas baby. John told stories of his and Mary's retirement life and how working nonstop for twenty-five years was worth it.

Deans eyes lit up when John teared up during a toast and told him how proud he was of him. And of course he had to make a joke to get everyone laughing.

Cas heard the front door open and close and they were soon joined by Kali and Gabe. "I thought I heard laughing," he commented smugly.

They took their seats and joined into the conversation easily. Cas looked around the large table where every seat was taken. It made his heart fill up with love to see that he had a family.

And it all started when blue met green.
