He's gotten Dean's text messages through the day, and the one about a car actually made him feel like a bit of an ass, because he should have thought about that and had something arranged. But, he'll make up for it by having Tuck bring a car over a little later, when he can take it without pissing anyone off.

The rest of the texts and pictures just reminded him there was a two year old running around in his body, and honestly, if it wasn't for the idea of coming home to Dean, he would have found an excuse to stay away. A new case, needed to run out and gather intel, didn't know when he'd be back. It was the kind of lie that was as easy as breathing.

But he hadn't.

So he steps into the house and the smell hits him first, knocks him back to memories at Nana's. And his house never smells like Nana's. He makes a point of making sure it doesn't.

And Baby is playing his game, and if he spent any of his damn money he was going to be pissed! But the house is in one piece so...so he lets it slide for now.

"Hey, B." No. He's not calling him Baby out loud. So he'll have to settle with a letter.

And then he's heading straight toward the sound of running water.
