Form and Void

Dean pulled us up to the bunker, stopping outside.

We got out of the car, getting Aiden and Amara out of their car seats in the back.

"You know that the car seats gotta get out when we're on the job," Dean told me.

"Well, duh," I told him. Dean chuckled. We showed the bunker to Aiden and Amara. "Look. Home sweet home."

"Very trashed, very messy home," Dean told me. "We still haven't been able to clean it up after the Steins destroyed the house."

"Well, I'm just gonna have to fix that, won't I?" I asked. We smiled, walking inside. We stopped in the control room by the map table because it was the least destroyed room so far. I looked at Aiden and Amara in our arms. "They're so adorable."

"Yeah, well, Amara takes the beauty from her mama," Dean told me.

I smiled. "We should probably put them to bed in the nursery."

"Nursery?" Dean repeated.

"You thought that I would just make up a guest bedroom with cribs for them?" I asked. "No, sir. While you and Sam were out hunting on the job and trying to find ways to save me, I was here, setting up a nice little room for these two. Come on. I'll show you." We walked upstairs, down the hallway. I looked at the doorway that was labeled 'AA' with cute little baby fonts, one blue, one pink. I opened the door, walking inside, turning on the light. We walked in, looking around. "At least the Steins didn't get close enough to destroying this room. I would've killed them just on that principle alone. And I know, it's rude to say that, because I actually did kill all of them." Dean opened his mouth to speak. I pointed at him. "I know what you're gonna say. 'They deserved it. You were defending yourself and protecting the babies. You were getting revenge for Charlie'. Those are just excuses, Dean. I take full responsibility for what I did to them. For what I did to everyone." Dean looked around the room in awe. "So, what do you think?"

The nursery was complete with two cribs/cradles, dresses, a bassinet, two mobiles hanging from the ceiling over both of their cribs, and multiple stuffed animals and baby toys for them to play with. One side of the room had Aiden's name on the wall in the same cute baby font that was on the door. One the other side, in the same fashion, was Amara's name.

Dean was in awe. "I like it."

"The tour is not over yet," I told him, turning off the light. "Look up."

Dean and I looked up at the ceiling.

Glow-in-the-dark stars were on the ceiling for the babies to see while they were in their cribs for the nights. 

I turned on the light, placing Aiden in his crib.

Dean walked toward Amara's crib to place her down, turning to face me curiously, surprised that I had done all of this. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise," I answered. "Well, surprise."

"God, I love you," Dean told me.

We smiled, kissing for a long, passionate moment, pulling away. 

"I love you, too," I told him.

We continued to kiss.

Dean and I were sleeping in our room when we heard some thumping, knocking sound, sitting up in surprise.

"Did you hear that?" I asked. We heard one of the babies wailing through the baby monitor on the dressers. I stood, walking out of the room, walking into the nursery, freezing when I saw what was in front of me. "Dean! Get in here!"
