#thinking of michael coming home like hey babe my boss has a crush on you

[blasphemous-lies-and-deceit]

Thinking of an au where Michael survives through Gertrude's tenure as Archivist and becomes Jon's assistant, and besides all the shenanigans that would ensue with that, he witnesses Jon's very professional interest in Gerry the Leitner-burning goth, and Michael's sitting there wondering if he should tell Jon he's crushing on his actual boyfriend, or if he should hold onto that information until the most hilarious moment.

Adopting An Angel 4

Warnings: foster care feelings, language, violence (not toward a character), hatred toward person, 

Word count 2250ish

Summary:  YN gets some frustrating news and doesn’t take it well.  

AN- I don’t know a lot about the court system, so sorry if it’s not correct, but I hope you like it anyway.  Danneel is a boss. 

Danneel, Jensen, and the kids. Aaron!Caseworker

YN had been living with the Ackles’ for a few weeks. They were off to Dallas for Easter to visit Jensen’s family. YN was beyond nervous.

Will they like me?  

Do I look nice?

I can’t do this.

“Danneel?”

“What’s up, YN?” The mom of four was packing the little ones’ clothes for the trip. She noticed YN’s tense body. “Are you nervous?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“I’ll make you a deal. I’ll give you some inside information on Jensen’s parents if you help me get the babies ready,” she grinned. “Do you know how nervous I was to meet the cutest boy in Hollywood’s parents?”  YN giggled.  

“Okay,” YN responded. “I don’t want them to hate me. I love being here, and I don’t want to be moved because I mess up,” she stated honestly.

“Kiddo, look at me. We aren’t going to have you put anywhere else other than here. They are sweet and adorable, and they will want to crush you with hugs because they already love you. You won’t mess it up. YN, you make life fun, we want you here.”

“What if I say something mean on accident or don’t shake their hands, or have good manners?”

“The fact that you are worried so much tells me that you will be fine in all of those areas, YN.” Danneel stroked her arm, halting her packing. They both heard Arrow crying through the baby monitor. Danneel already had Zeppelin in her arms while trying to pack, so YN volunteered to go get her. 

____________

On the road trip from Austin to Dallas, YN played with JJ in the back seat.  They counted, sang the alphabet, and giggled.  A lot.  After about an hour, JJ fell asleep.  YN didn’t mind. She ended up holding JJ’s hand and falling asleep too.

“Psst! Jay!” Danneel whispered as her husband drove. He glanced at her and then back at the road. “Look at our girls,” she smiled. He used the mirror to view the backseat. Once he saw they were both out, he grinned and grabbed Danneel’s hand.

“She’s so perfect,” Jensen commented with a smile.

_______________

They arrived at Jensen’s parents’ house soon after the Ackles’ children woke up from their naps.

“Deep breath, you’ll be okay, I promise,”  Danneel whispered as she, Jensen and YN unbuckled and took the younger ones out of the vehicle.

“Thanks,”  YN faintly smiled.

Introductions went well.  YN felt welcomed in Jensen’s parents’ home.  They didn’t treat her any differently than the other three children of the family.  By keeping the expectations the same for all, YN felt included.  She slowly contributed to conversation, but she still needed some prompting from the adults.

“You’re fine, YN.  You’ve come out of your shell so much since we first met you,”  Jensen told her when he noticed she was off to the side of the living room.  “You need a break?”  She nodded. “Okay, come on.”  He told Danneel that YN, he and the twins were going on a walk.

“Okay.  Have fun!”

_____________

When they entered the house after their walk, the four moved toward the sound of Danneel’s voice.

“Her mom is filing for custody? Is she truly ready though? Aaron, she is settled here and she-“ Danneel stopped when she heard a gasp. “I gotta go, thank you for your time.”

YN’s eyes went wide as she realized what was going on.

No. Aaron can’t move me again! 

She wanted to run, but she had Arrow in her arms. YN sniffled, put Arrow down next to her toys and walked swiftly out of the house Into the backyard. Danneel ran after her. She found YN in the corner of the yard behind a shed, broken.

“No! I don’t want to go!” YN screamed when she saw Danneel.

“I know,” she kept his voice calm as she sat next to her in the dirt. Danneel let her cry and didn’t stop YN when she threw some rocks against the fence.

“Is it really going to happen? She’s a bitch. She doesn’t care about me,” YN told of her mother. “She’s tried this before, Danneel. It worked once, but then she was caught with drugs so I went back in to foster care. I can’t go back and forth. I’m tired,” YN recovered.

“I don’t know how far along in the process this is, but we can tell the judge what you just said. But if and until it actually happens, we will think good thoughts,” Danneel gave YN a hopeful smile. “We will not let this ruin our vacation, okay?”

“Yes, ma’am,” YN wiped away a stray tear.

“Do you like working out, YN?”

“I’ve run track before, why?”

——————-

“You ready?”  Danneel had convinced YN to get up early and go for a run with her.

“Yes, but why are we doing this?”

“Because you need a stress reliever. Physical activity helps,” Danneel walked passed her.  “Come on!”

They were both surprised with each other’s stamina. Both ladies ran two miles and then headed in for some coffee before everyone else woke up.

“Feel better?” Danneel untied and took off her running shoes.

“Yes, actually. Thank you.”

“Breakfast?”

“Yes, please.”

————————

Aaron called again. Danneel and Jensen went to talk to YN after the younger ones were asleep.

“Hey, YN. Whatcha doing?” Jensen led his wife into YN’s room.

“Reading,” she answered. “I heard you on the phone with Aaron. What’s going on?”

“Well,” Jensen started as he sat on her bed and took her hand, “he said that your mom has filed for cus-“

“DAMMIT! Why? She is scum, Jensen! You can’t let her have me!” YN was beyond angry. She stood up and threw her pillow across the room. YN knocked the J2 picture off of her side table and broke the frame. The teenager pounded her fists into her bed and then started hitting herself. Danneel moves from her seated position on the floor to YN and grabbed her wrists away from her body. This allowed Jensen to put her small frame on his lap and squeeze her tightly.

“I don’t know, baby, I really don’t.” He wanted to cry, himself. Jensen hated this for her.

————

“Do you think we handled that well, babe?” Danneel climbed into bed next to Jensen.

I think so. I can’t blame her. She’s been through hell, Dee. We don’t know a lot of it, either. We just gotta be there for her.”

“Yeah. I just feel so bad.”

“Dee,�� she looked up at him as he said “we have to be objective. Yes, this whole situation with her mom sucks, but YN will be all over the place emotionally for a while. Her whole life is changed over and over. Unfortunately it is sad and we feel it, but she needs us strong. I know that puts a lot on you with the other kiddos but she can’t see us be upset, ya know?”

“I get it. She’s amazing. It breaks my heart-“ Danneel was interrupted by a knock on the upper half of the door.

YN. 

“Come in!” The parents were surprised by YN needing something so late.

She opened it and said “I can’t sleep. I’m so sorry, but I didn’t know what else to do. I’m so tired, but I can’t.“

“We understand,” Danneel smiled. “How can we help get you to sleep?” YN looked everywhere but her foster parents. “Just ask, YN. No judgements here. I had a baby monitor in my room until I moved out because I had nightmares. It’s okay to ask for help.”

“Can you hug me?” YN asked out of embarrassment. “I need a hug.”

“I’ll do you one better. Why don’t we have a slumber party in the living room, just you and me?” Danneel wished her foster daughter could relax, but she knew the whole situation kept them all on edge.

“Really?”

“Let’s do it,” Danneel got out of bed, grabbed her pillow and a few extra blankets, kissed her husband and exited.

“I’m sorry, Jensen. I’m sure you don’t get a lot of time with Danneel. Now I stole her from you.”

“Stop saying you're sorry. Do you think you need Danneel around to fall asleep?” He sat up.

“Uhhh. I think so.”

“Then you have nothing to feel bad about. I’m about to go to sleep anyway. Now, get your butt down there before I have to carry you,” he grinned at his empty threat.

“Yes, sir,” YN laughed. “Goodnight, Jensen.”

—————-

“I think we have enough pillows and blankets, don’t you?” Danneel giggled.

“I think so too!” YN agreed. Even though they hadn’t really started their sleepover, YN was already relaxing. “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course!”

“I loved One Tree Hill. I saw reruns, but how was it?  Being on a show like that?  Chad Michael Murray was hot.”

“Haha! A learning experience for sure. But we had fun,” Danneel answered.

“Cool. That slap between you and Sophia was so scary,” YN added.

“I was terrified,” Danneel admitted. “I thought for sure one of us was going to get hurt. I’m so glad you liked the show.”

“How did you meet Jensen?”

After what seemed like forever, YN fell asleep on a pile of pillows.

——————

Jensen walked into the living room with JJ the next morning.

“Can we wake them up?” JJ wanted to jump into the fun.

“Gently. Let’s not scare them, okay?” He was afraid it would be too much for YN.

“Okay,” JJ said. She walked over to YN and kissed her check, lied on top of her, and waited. YN stirred, and Jensen laughed, waking up Danneel.

“Did you ladies have fun last night?” Jensen raised a brow.

“She told me all your secrets, Jensen.” YN beamed  and sat up with JJ now on her lap. She wanted to see how far she could take this. She’d known the family well enough now that she could try some trouble.  “Danneel told me about the time you were on set and you messed with Misha and the computer screen-“

“OKAY! Probably not for a little one’s ears. Dee!  Such a traitor!” He looked back at YN. “Glad you had some time together. Proud of you, YN.” He saw how much she was opening up. Aaron was right, she was very funny.

“Thanks, Jensen.”

____________

Danneel sat down with YN a few weeks later.  

“Aaron called.”

“Great.  What did the Bad News Bear have to say now?”  YN hated it.  All of it.

“Manners, kiddo.  It isn’t Aaron’s fault.”

YN ducked her head. “Sorry,” she returned her gaze.

“The hearing is coming up, baby.”

“I’ll start packing,”  YN stood from her bed and grabbed a bag.  At this point, she was so used to change, she just assumed she would soon be changing homes.  Again.  

“What? Why?”  Danneel took the bag and tossed it back in its place. “I will fight for you, YN.  We don’t want you to go.  I don’t know your mom’s story.  You can tell us as you feel comfortable, but I do know that you are sweet, and kind, and caring, and you are not those things when you talk about her. That tells me that something bad happened where she lost your trust.  You’ve been here for a while, do you like living here?”

“Of course.  I love it here, but it never works out for kids like me, Dee.  In the system, we aren’t worth shit.”

“Okay, then let’s make her work for getting you back. You are worth so much more than you think, YN.  We will do our best in this yucky situation.  And you are not allowed to pack until they drag you out of here, capiche?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“Now, don’t you have some homework to do?”

“Ugh.  I hate homework,” she whined using a high-pitched voice.

“That ain’t gonna fly.  Get busy,” Danneel laughed and left the room.  

_____________

It was now summer.  Jensen was on hiatus, and the older children were out of school.  YN was thankful that they could all be together for her court hearing.  

“You ready, YN?”  Danneel walked in and saw her packing. “Hey!  What. Did. I. Say?”

“It’s gonna happen.  It always does.  I haven’t seen her since I was nine, Dee.  Nine!  And now she wants me back?  She wants control, that’s what she wants!’  YN threw a shirt into her suitcase with emphasis.  

Danneel walked to YN.  “YOU are giving her the control right now.  Look at how angry you are right now.  You are fifteen years old.  You have more power than you think.  Did you finish your speech for the judge?”

“Yes, but I’m afraid I will just yell.”

“Jensen and I will be right there.  We’ll help you.”  Danneel faced YN and put her hand on YN’s shoulder, still respecting YN’s boundaries about touch.  YN almost ran into Danneel’s arms.  “We’ll figure it out.”

__________

When they arrived at the courthouse in their formal clothes, YN started shaking.  Others wouldn’t have noticed, but her foster parents did.  Danneel grabbed her hand and squeezed it three times.  “I love you,”  Danneel didn’t even look at YN to know that calmed her down.  

“Ditto,” YN responded.  

They walked into their assigned courtroom where they met Aaron at the prosecution table.  

“Hey, YN,” Aaron smiled faintly.  He knew she hated the predicament she was in.  

“Can we just get this over with please?”  YN’s attitude turned sour.  Jensen and Danneel noticed, but they didn’t respond.  

As they waited for the judge, they heard, “Hey, YN baby.  How you doin’?”  

YN turned, “Hi, Mom.”
