Thinkin'He took in a deep breath, sitting on the nech as Logan played with some new friends. Everything was back to normal. Should be happy, but something wasn't letting him.
He was visited again, by god. He shot a smile to Logan as he turned, looking back at him. He gave a nod, urging him to go play, which he did happily.
Everything around him was brighter than it once was. His kids were happy, healthy. Harmony was back on her feet, thanks to god--Omni--whoever it was. He was thankful, sure. Happy? He wasn't sure.
He gave a stretch, raising his arms over his head as a yawn escaped him. A sudden abrupt laugh came from his lips as he remembered the last time he was here. Emma and him, with the kids. The fight that ensued.. Despite it all, it was a good day.
Logan screeched, running towards him with a bright smile. "Hey buddy." He smiled, ruffling his hair. "Daddy, joo come play too, come come!" He tried, tugging on his dad's hand.
"Not right now, Logan. Daddy's.. Daddy has to think." Logan cocked his head to the side. "Tink? Tink bout what, daddy?" Dean grinned, picking him up and putting him on his lap, his arms wrapping around him.
"About you, and Ray. About mommy, and Aunt Emma, and Uncle Cian. Aunt Colette, and Uncle Sammy. Everything." He laid a kiss to his head. "But you go play, okay?"
Logan gave a nod, hopping off his lap and running back to the jungle gym. His eyes drifted to the sky, shaking his head softly. Dad. Help me, cause I am so.. so fucking lost.

Cian loved the days he got to spend alone with daughter. Not that he didn't love his son to bits and pieces, or his wife for that matter. But there was something special when it was just him and Maura. She lit up his whole world with just a smile. He was wrapped around her little finger and he knew it. So it was no surprise that, while he home alone with her, when she scampered up to him with that huge, slightly crooked Lawrence smile on her face and asked to go to the park he was powerless. He had grabbed her, spun her around and then told her to go put her shoes on. She had squealed happily and clapped her hands and raced off to comply. So now Cian was walking into Central Park with Maura skipping alongside him, her hand clasped in his. She was singing her favorite song (by proxy, his favorite) softly under her breath. Not one of the words she sang was right but the melody was still beautiful and brought a beaming grin to his face. Then suddenly Maura leapt to a stop so she could burst out at the top of her lungs, "Sweet Maura-mine! Bum bum bahh!" Cian lost it, breaking into laughter as Maura continued on with her butchered lyrics at a more normal tone. "Maura Erin, you are somethin' else," he promised with a grin. "But I'm your somethin' else!" Maura shot back with a happy smile. Cian laughed openly again, swinging her up into his arms and laying soft kisses over her face. "And don't you forget it!" he countered playfully, holding her a little away from him to watch her laugh breathlessly. [ ] |

[[More than okay xD]]
It was nice, feeling the gentle breeze of summer wash over him as he sat on this bench. Logan was playing with his new found friends by the jungle gym, smiling and laughing louder than any other kid in the entire park.
"Sweet Maura-mine! Bum bum bahh!"
His brows furrowed, looking around. Was Emma here with Maura? Or perhaps Cian? He could always use some company while he sat and watched over Logan as he played. Taking to his feet, he slid one hand into his shorts pocket and started walking.
"Maura? Emma?" He paused, rubbing at his head with his free hand. "Cian?"

Hearing someone call their names, Cian looked up. He recognized the voice as Dean's and began to scan the area for his friend. Walking a little further, he located the man finally. "Hey Dean," he greeted happily, holding a smiley Maura against his hips. "No Emma; jus' me and my li'l girl today." He shot a grin to his daughter at that, tickling her softly.
Maura giggled, squirming to get away from her Daddy's fingers. Giving up, she teleported to the ground. Once settled there, she moved to hug her Unka Dean-o around the legs. Looking up at him, she grinned wide. "Hiya Unka Dean-o! Joo here wiff Ray-Ray and Lo-Lo?" she asked hopefully. Ray-Ray was her favorite playmate but Lo-Lo was loads of fun too.

"Hey Dean,"
Turning, he smiled seeing Cian and Maura. "Hey you two." He chuckled softly. "No Emma; jus' me and my li'l girl today." He gave a nod softly, turning slightly to make sure Logan was in sight. "Yeah, I hear that."
Feeling arms wrapping around his legs, he grinned down at Maura, picking her up and laying a kiss to her cheek. "Hiya Unka Dean-o! Joo here wiff Ray-Ray and Lo-Lo?" He shook his head softly. "Nope, just me and Logan. Ray's with Aunt Harmony at the house." He told her, setting her back down.
Crouching down next to her, he pointed over where Logan was. "He's over there." Logan screamed out in laughter, throwing his head back as he slid down the slide. "The big loud mouth." He laughed softly.

"Nope, just me and Logan. Ray's with Aunt Harmony at the house."
Cian nodded at that, smiling softly. He understood. Sometimes you just had to be with your kid...
"He's over there. The big loud mouth."
Cian lifted an eyebrow at that and was about to indicate Maura, suggested that she was just as big a loud-mouth, as she had demonstrated minutes ago with her singing. The little girl turned to him though, stealing his attention. "Daddy, I can play wiff Lo?" Her eyes were shining and her mouth was curved into a soft, hopeful smile.
"'Course, love. Go on." He patted her bottom playfully, sending her off giggling to join Logan on the slide.
Cian watched her for a moment before clapping a friendly hand to Dean's shoulder. "So, how're you doing, Dean?" It was a casual question but had a lot loaded behind it. Truthfully, he had been a little worried after his friend. Dean was strong, sure -stronger than most others he knew, probably- but he had been through a hell of a lot the past few months.

He grinned, signaling Logan that Maura was coming over to play. Logan just grinned, jumping in place as he waited for her to join him. "MO!" He shouted, giving her a big hug. "C'mon, we slide."
Dean shook his head chuckling softly. "So, how're you doing, Dean?" Feeling the light slap to his shoulder, and the question, he turned, giving a slight shrug as he walked his way back to the bench.
"They're.. uh, goin'." He laughed easily. "How about you, things goin' good?" Lord knows he's talked about himself enough with Cian, though, he supposed that's what friends were for. But still.

"Hi Logan!" Maura called in response. She hugged him back, tighy, tight before nodding excitedly. "Yay! I like slide." She held the stuffed turtle in her arms to her chest protectively. "Davey likes slide too," she added, patting the turtle's head. She had taken quite a liking to her Uncle Tim's boyfriend David and so named her favorite stuffed animal after him.
--
"They're.. uh, goin'. How about you, things goin' good?"
Cian raised an eyebrow, not quite sure that he believed that. "Good as can be expected, yeah?" Settling onto the bench, he let out a sigh. "'Least things have calmed down some," he said with a smile. "With the heavenly battle and the family." He chuckled once. Finally. He and Emma had more or less worked things out with the whole baby situation as well as the Divine Beings cooperating more.

"Yay! I like slide." She held the stuffed turtle in her arms to her chest protectively. "Davey likes slide too,"
Logan grinned widely. "Kay. Come." He waved her on as he ran around to the back of the slide, he pointed up at it, and looked back at her. "Joo go, or me?" He asked, with a sly smile.
---
"Good as can be expected, yeah?"
He smiled, nodding softly as his eyes drifted towards the kids, before drifting back to look at Cian. "Yeah." he gave another nod.
"'Least things have calmed down some," he said with a smile. "With the heavenly battle and the family."
"You and Emma work everything out okay?" He asked, turning slightly to get more comfortable on the bench. "Yeah, I was watching the news when it all went down. They just, disappeared."
It was odd, but nonetheless, he was thankful for it all to be over. Though, he had to admit, even now his memories of Hell haunted him. He ran a hand down his face. "But hey, least things are back to normal again. You and Emma, Harm and I." He nodded with a smile.
"Hey, before I forget, we're gonna be having a cookout soon. Just wanted to hand you an invite myself." He smiled. "I'll be sure to call you when it gets closer to that time."

"Joo go, or me?"
Maura smiled to him, blue eyes shining. "Joo go firstest, Lo-Lo. Me an' Davey go aftah joo." She bounced in place a little, waiting for him to climb the ladder so she could go up as well. Maura loved the slide. Her favorite was the swings, but the slide was a close second. She could pretend she was flying on both of them and Maura liked that.
--
"You and Emma work everything out okay?"
Cian smirked a little, remembering how exactly he and Emma had "worked things out." It had been very enjoyable, to say the least. "The whole more kids thing? Yeah. Compromised, you know; said we didn't want to risk her life or anything without at least looking for a way to make it safer first." And he was already getting on that, searching for something, anything, to make the pregnancies easier (read: not fatal) on Emma.
"Yeah, I was watching the news when it all went down. They just, disappeared."
"Freaky," Cian assessed. "And kinda makes you wonder, well... What if they come back?" He sighed a little, not even wanting to consider that as a possibility. God, if he had to go through all that again...
"Hey, before I forget, we're gonna be having a cookout soon. Just wanted to hand you an invite myself." He smiled. "I'll be sure to call you when it gets closer to that time."
Cian smiled amiably at that, nodding. "Sounds like loads of fun; We'll definitely be there." It would be nice to spend some time as a family with the Winchesters and... He wondered if anyone else would just invited. "Just us then or some others?" He would be fine with just the Winchesters really, but it would be nice to see a few of the other families; catch up.

"Joo go firstest, Lo-Lo. Me an' Davey go aftah joo."
Logan grinned, quickly climbing the steps to the top of the spiral slide. Sitting on his bum, he looked down through the red tube, smiling as he readied himself. He let out a loud laugh as he pushed off, sliding down it within seconds and landing on his feet at the end. He grinned up at Maura, waving her on. "Come on! Mo, come."
---
"The whole more kids thing? Yeah. Compromised, you know; said we didn't want to risk her life or anything without at least looking for a way to make it safer first."
He gave a nod. "That's good. Lemme know if there's anything I can help out with, okay?" He smiled, his head turning slightly as Logan's laughter filled the air. He shook his head, his son; the loud mouth.
"Freaky," Cian assessed. "And kinda makes you wonder, well... What if they come back?"
He didn't want to think about that. Couldn't--wouldn't be able to handle it again. Not with everything that had happened. Harmony getting hurt, and him dying and coming back. No one should have to live through that twice.
"Sounds like loads of fun; We'll definitely be there." It would be nice to spend some time as a family with the Winchesters and... He wondered if anyone else would just invited. "Just us then or some others?"
He grinned. "Some others, of course. We're not completely done with the list yet. But so far there's us, and you guys. Then the Fox's, and the Reynolds." He gave a nod. "Not sure who else. Kinda want to keep it low key, y'know?"

"Come on! Mo, come."
Maura grinned, laughing happily. Holding tight onto Davie, she pushed off down the tube. Static electricity excited her hair as she rushed through the slide. Finally coming to the end, she landed directly on her bottom in the sand. It only hurt a little bit, not that much. She broke into giggles and clapping her hands. Rising, she dusted herself off and bounced excitedly. "Wanna go 'gain, Lo-Lo?"
---
"That's good. Lemme know if there's anything I can help out with, okay?"
Cian shot a grin Dean's way nodded. "Yeah, thanks; I will. Just gotta find someone who knows anything about this, you know?" His voice was light, despite the subject matter. Sure, he wanted to figure this out. But he had made a promise to Emma; one he intended to keep. This wasn't going to consume their lives.
"Some others, of course. We're not completely done with the list yet. But so far there's us, and you guys. Then the Fox's, and the Reynolds." He gave a nod. "Not sure who else. Kinda want to keep it low key, y'know?"
Cian nodded his agreement, entirely understanding. "Yeah. Low-key is good; definitely god. Maura'll flip for the chance to hang with Regan at any rate," Cian commented. He grinned as he thought of his little girl. She and Regan were loads young of course but they were already shaping up to be the best of friends. "And Ollie'd like to see Lyra again as well; it's been awhile for the two of them." Smirking, he passed an easy hand through his hair. It was sure to be a good time.
Glancing back to the playground, he saw Maura shoot from the slide and land hard on her bottom. He tensed, bracing himself for tears and cries and "Daddddyyyyy!" But she just giggled and laughed, bouncing up and chattering to Logan. Cian relaxing, smile returning. That was his girl; tough as nails.
