Supernatural Death Note

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Four: Preparations for a Barbecue

The group was chattering as they worked, unpacking and setting up each wing before moving to another. It was obvious that things were going really well so far.

Dean entered the cabin, followed by his dog. The smaller ones were running around outside. He smiled at Bobby and Sam who were discussing the hanging of a painting over the fireplace. Sarah had asked them to hang it.

"Hey, Bobby, will you have time to do a big barbecue? We got company coming."

"We should be ready to start doing that in about an hour or so," he said to his adoptive son. "We're nearly finished."

Dean smiled a sweet smile and turned to go, with a slight, quiet sigh of relief. No third degree this time. A little more freedom given? He grinned as he headed towards his wing to put his laptop in his office and coffee maker in the kitchen. He had no idea where Lisa would want it.

Bobby's words were accurate. Within an hour, everyone was popping their heads into the room where Dean was to find out what they should make or bring for the family bbq. This was an important one due to the fact it was the first meal in their new home

Dean sat down on the floor in front of the fireplace, noting that someone had a fire started. He was tired, but happy they were done.

"What kind of meat does everyone want?" Lisa asked, a note pad and pen in front of her.

"I would have asked for brisket but that takes all day. There's a huge bag of t-bones in there, Dean responded.

Lisa nodded. "Sounds good. I have some ground beef thawed, can make burgers for those who aren't into steaks."

"That would work. Potato salad or baked potatoes for the steak and burgers? We could do fries for those having burgers if we do baked potatoes. I thought potato salad and baked beans, but with steak, baked potatoes and salad are probably better. Hey, Watari, can I eat this stuff?"

"Potato salad will do," Watari said. "I can fix it with less starch issues."

"I could put on a pot of baked beans in the oven. Lis has a great recipe for them. Sarah, Lisa, do you girls want to make desserts?" Dean grinned and winked at them.

Sarah laughed. "I'll handle desserts and Lisa can work with the beans."

Dean paused for a second, recognizing what had very kindly not been said. He remembered what Doc had told him and his own reply, and he smiled. "Okay, I know when I'm not wanted in the kitchen."

Sam grinned. "Feel up to helping us set up some music to have in the background?

"Hell, yeah. I could drive down to the shop and get the small stereo we moved from the model room to the new room we set up for modeling down there."

"That's a good idea actually," Sam said. "Want company?"

"Yeah, that'd be great. Need to move the vehicles this way, anyway." They headed back to the trailers and the Impala.

Sam trailed alongside his brother. "What are we doing with the trailers now that we're moved in?"

"I want to keep them. Holidays, family visits, and stuff like that. I know you got room, Sam, but do you want Sarah's dad in your wing with you guys? Especially before the wedding? I don't have anything set up for Ellen and Jo and they are coming. Said they could use the time off."

He nodded. "That's not a bad idea."

"I do have one once in a while" They got into Dean's baby and He started the engine. As they drove to the highway, Dean grew quiet.
