Lisa agreed and would be waiting for Sam outside the hotel.

Dean told Lisa he'd keep Ben for her. Lisa thought it odd that Dean would keep Ben when he was so tired.

The trip back to the hotel was short, Sam giving Dean the presents to hide before Lisa could see where they'd been.

Dean put everything in the backpack he always kept near. He got out of the Impala at the Holiday Inn and saw Lisa and Ben out front. He gave Ben a hug and leaned over and kissed the woman he loved, whispering, "Thank you." into her ear.

"You're welcome. Make sure to order a snack for you two," she told him.

"Yes, ma'am," Dean replied, staring at Ben who asked if he could have pudding.

"No, Ben, no sugar. It's not dinnertime so I don't want you spoiling it," she answered him.

Dean walked over to the car and opened the door for Lisa. He walked around and handed Sam some cash. "I'll text you. Send what I ask for. Let me have your room key. Let me know when you are going to be home. Maybe we can have Bobby and Sarah meet us for dinner? Keep them out of the bathrooms." He spoke softly so as not to be heard by the woman sitting next to his brother.

"Go ahead and ask them. Knowing Sarah, she's probably with Bobby at the lumber yard," he said with a laugh.

"I will. How about that Italian restaurant over on Travis? We could meet at 6 and have a nice meal before the evening crowds hit."

Sam nodded. "We'll meet you there. Give them a call so Bobby knows to watch the time with her."

"I will." Dean pulled out his cell, dialing Bobby's number as Sam pulled the Impala out into traffic. The father and son entered the hotel together. Dean talked to Bobby and headed over to the gift shop. He bought two large bouquets of roses for the women as an apology for later. He also purchased a calculator. The two headed to the suite.

Ben looked up at his dad. "So we're really gonna do this?"

"Yeah. Why? You scared?"

"No but you're the one who's gonna keep me from being grounded until college," he pointed out.

"You think she'll marry me after this?" Dean set the flowers down and headed to his room to change. He didn't think his suit would look good covered with different flavors of pudding.

"Yeah because she'll want to take the rest of her life to get even for this," he said sagely. He knew his mom. She didn't get angry, she got even.

"You do understand that pranks run in the Winchester family? You are half Winchester, son. You are either in or you are out when a prank is carried out."

Ben grinned at him, showing a mix of Dean and Sam in that grin. "Oh I know. I also know that since you're the adult, you're gonna get the most of it. It'll still be fun."

Dean grinned as he put on a pair of old jeans and a ragged t-shirt. "You bring anything like I'm wearing? That's a lot of pudding to mix." Dean walked into the bathroom he and Lisa shared and measured the tub. He went down the hall to Sam and Sarah's room and measured theirs. Coming back to his bedroom, he sat down with the calculator. It took a while to figure how many cups of pudding were made by a box. He finally texted his brother and gave him a large order of pudding and milk. He also asked for a large roll of plastic floor covering like they had at the trailer for the model room.

The father and son went into the living room and turned on the tv and sat down to watch some show that Ben liked. Dean dozed off in the recliner, his son munching on popcorn and drinking a coke. Dean forgot to eat.
