All You Did was Save my Life

A Lot Can Change in a Year

Note: This takes place a year later so right about where season six begins.

Ben is seven, Jamie is a year and a half, Jesse is five, Henry is one.

            A year had passed and so much had changed. First, they had stopped hunting. well, Dean had. Bobby would still go out and occasionally Ellen and Jo would go with him when they weren't back at the Roadhouse. When they did, it was just Dean, the two (occasionally three when Balthazar stopped by) angels, and boys left at Singer Salvage which had now become less 'home base' and more 'home.'

            The boys were all older too. Ben was now seven and since they were living at Singer Salvage, Dean had enrolled him in school. Jamie was a little over a year and a half and had changed significantly in the past year. He was now walking and had being a very chatty almost-two-year-old. He definitely had more social skills than either of his parents.

            Jesse was now five, but because of his powers, which they still did not fully understand, Gabriel wasn't able to enroll him in school wit Ben. However, that hadn't stopped him from changing too. He was no longer the shy, quiet, scared little boy he had been for so long. It seemed becoming a big brother did good things for him and he was talking more, no longer always glued to Gabriel's side. Finally, that left Henry. The youngest Winchester was now a year old and had recently learned how to walk and, as Gabriel and the others were discovering, was quite the little troublemaker.

            Speaking of trouble, that was something Gabriel and Cas were trying to avoid. Even though they had both regained their Grace, they weren't hunting or looking for other angels. They both knew it was too hard for Dean and they didn't want anyone coming looking for the boys. However, none of them knew that everything was about to change.

Almost all caught up to what I have written so far. Two more chapters and then I will be switching to weekly updates every Wednesday
