After dinner, April had helped Bernie to tidy up and she had started yawning again.

Bernie smiled at her, “Thats early pregnancy for you. You should head on up to bed, we got this.” She pointed towards the dishes.

April covered her mouth as she yawned, “Sorry.” She apologised.

“Dont be sorry just go on up to bed early.” Bernie then pushed her out of the kitchen and towards the living room.

In the living room Dean, Joseph, Robert, Sam and Eric all were sitting around strategizing. 

“Dean,” April called out to him as she leaned against the kitchen doorway.

Dean smiled up at her, they were both exhausted. It was a lot of heavy news on top of no sleep. He stood up and walked towards her and he scooped her up in his arms.

She didnt protest, she just leaned against his chest and looked to the others in the living room, “Good night everyone.”

“Night April, sleep well,” Joseph said, he felt that the young couple had a lot to bare but they seemed to be getting through it with tenacity.

“Goodnight.” The rest chorused in unison.

Dean nodded to the rest, they had so much to discuss but April was his priority. Dean carried her up the stairs and when they reached their bedroom he managed to open the door and then set her on the bed. He turned to close the door and he heard her.

“Where are you going?” April said as she glared at his back. She sat up on the bed and waited for his response. If he tried to leave her now after his promise this morning she would bite him.

“Mmm miss me already? I was just closing the bedroom door.” Dean closed the bedroom door and returned to her, sitting on the bed he reached for her and smoothed out her forehead wrinkles, “Dont frown so much.”

“Dont test me when im exhausted.” She smiled up at him and then walked to the closet. She picked out one of his long grey t-shirts and shorts for herself and she gave the matching grey joggers to Dean. She would always wear the top to bed and he always wore the bottom.

Taking things into the bathroom she got changed, washed her face and brushed her teeth before returning to the bed. She then sat and waited for Dean to return from the bathroom.

April checked her phone and she noticed a missed call from her father so she rang him back. She wasn’t sure how he would feel about Rachels arrest.

“Hello.” April greeted her father first.

“April it’s late you didnt have to ring me back.” Martin was worried but he was glad she had rung him back.

“It’s no bother, you okay?” April curled her legs onto the bed to get warm as she spoke with her father.

“Yes and no. Im glad your mother is getting justice I just wish…” Martin couldn’t finish his sentence as there was too much he wished was different.

“I know. Did she contact you?” April understood, she had a lot of regrets but in this life, she was able to change her path, her father didnt get this opportunity. She felt very fortunate for the chance fate had given her.

“Aghh.” He sighed before continuing, “Yes I was her only phone call. She begged and then yelled at me when her pleading didnt work. She wants me to get her out of jail. She was crying but I could tell it wasn’t genuine. She doesn’t feel bad for the things she has done she just feels bad for her own situation.”

“She blames everyone but accepts no responsibility for her own actions. Dad… she deserves to be in prison for what she did to mum.” April pulled up the covers to her chest so she could hug them tighter.

“Agreed. I won’t keep you up I just wanted to ring and see if you were okay?” Martin admitted. He wasn’t concerned for Rachel but about how April was taking the news.

He hated the idea that he had brought in and married the woman who killed the love of his life. He had so much to make up for and too many regrets. If it wasn’t for April he would have drowned himself in sorrow and alcohol.

“Im okay dad just exhausted. Can you come on Sunday for dinner again?” April then remembered that everyone important to her knew her news but her father didnt. She wanted to put that right so she had asked him for another family dinner.

“Yes thank you, thank you. Well take care and I will see you on Sunday. Tell Dean I said thank you, I know it was down to him that we finally have answers.” He was happy he had April and she wanted his company after years of co-existing she now wanted his company. He knew it was his own fault in the past, he could only make up for his lack of being a father now if she would let him.

“I will, good night.” Knowing that her father was okay, she said good night.

“Sleep well!” Martin wished her well and wanted her to rest up, he was glad that she had rung to speak with him.

April then hung up her phone and placed it on the charger, Dean then walked into sight.

“Your dad?” Dean asked as he joined her on the bed.

“Yes, he rang to see if I was okay after today,” April answered as she stared at his bare chest. His chest was tanned and sculpted to perfection, his muscles stood out and it made her want to run her fingers up his chest but she held back as she was so tired.

“How did he take the news?” Dean asked completely unaware of her thoughts.

“Quiet well he just… I think regrets a lot.” April answered. 

“Mmm probably.” Dean then smirked at her he saw where her eyes landed. “Angel?”

“Mmm.” April bit her bottom lip and reached out for him.

Dean smiled and pulled her close and onto his lap as he sat back against the headrest, “Dont start something you are too tierd to finish.” He said.

April then pulled him into the bed and she snuggled up onto his chest.. The two then cuddled up together and fell asleep wrapped around one another.
