Chapter Five, Disneyland

While Dean was waiting for his precious baby girl to heal from her ordeal in the woods which he felt immensely guilty over - despite Sam, Charles and Claudette telling him otherwise - they were back in New Orleans at his flat so Amélie could see her grandparents and they could make the updated sachets. Waking up early a week after they've gotten there, Dean sat at the dining room table on his laptop, but he wasn't looking up a case or porn (he hasn't done that since before Simone) he was actually booking a few days in Disneyland for them, as a surprise to his baby girl.
"Case?" Sam asked, entering the kitchen without a good morning.
"Good morning to you too." Dean said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Nope. I'm booking us a trip to Disneyland." He said, feeling excited himself.

"Dean -" Sam started annoyed, raising his voice.
"Lower your voice! Amélie is asleep!" Dean hissed, glaring at his brother. "I'm booking us a few days in Disneyland, I want to give my daughter the chance to be a normal kid; unlike we were. But if you want to go back to hunting by all means, go." Dean said firmly, turning back to the laptop and ordering himself an outfit: grey Mickey Mouse ears that had the old Mickey on them, and Amélie a Rapuzel dress as she's obsessed with Rapunzel and Elsa at the moment, he ordered them on express delivery with Amazon prime, so it'll get here on time. Sam opened his mouth to argue but he sighed and just nodded.
"Can I come?" He asked unsurely. "I'll give you the money."

"Sure. I already brought you a ticket, anyway." Dean said, shrugging his shoulders, before he suddenly became serious. "But you are not to get angry for any reason and ruin this for my daughter. Oh, Claudette and Charles are coming too." He added, pointing a finger at Sam before he went back to printing off the confirmation as a knock sounded on the front door. "Get that would you? It'll be Claudette and Charles. I've got a system above the door so they won't be able to touch the door if they're a shifter or a demon." Dean said, getting up and stretching. Sam frowned curiously at his brother who went to the kitchen to start on breakfast. Not wanting to leave them outside, Sam peered through the peep hole and saw the protection system that Dean had been talking about; opening the door he smiled at the elderly couple.

"Hi, I'm Sam." He said, opening the door wider as he introduced himself at their strange and curious looks. But instead of smiling, angry looks appeared on their faces at his introduction. He was confused for all but a second until realisation hit him, and he was suddenly filled with guilt. He wasn't there for them; Dean or Amélie, when Simone died but Dean and Amélie had been there for him when Jessica died. And it must have appeared on his face.
"I see you've realised your mistake." Claudette said coldly.
"I'm sorry -" Sam apologised.
"It's a little late for that, don't you think?" Charles asked. "Besides they mean nothing unless your actions prove otherwise." He said, sounding so much like Bobby it was scary. Or perhaps they were just similar, Sam wasn't sure.

"Charles, Claudette c'mon in. I'm making breakfast and coffee." Dean shouted from the kitchen.
"You had me at coffee, Dean." Charles grinned, heading towards the kitchen.
"You and your coffee addiction." Claudette sighed, following after her husband. While shaking her head with a fond smile on her face and leaving Sam to shut the door. Sam sighed he knew he'd messed up; he just didn't realise how much. Not wanting to hide and make things worse, no matter how much he wanted to, he leaned on the doorway to the kitchen watching his brother who was so relaxed and so happy. Why didn't he or his Dad see this? Was he like his father? As Bobby had stated he was in that voicemail he left when he didn't show up for Simone's funeral.
"I'm sorry I didn't -" Dean was apologising, again.

"Dean, stop." Claudette said gently, holding up her hand. "It's not your fault and we told you that the first time. None of us knew it wouldn't work, especially as you put it in the formation to amplify it thrice fold, but that won't be a problem anymore." She said, pulling out a large grey fabric bag from her black handbag.
"The whole coven helped make them so they'll be more powerful now. Plus, you now have triple the amount you had before. Simone wouldn't blame you either Dean." Charles added, knowing what the root of all this was.
"I don't know why. I do." Dean sighed wearily. "When I heard her scream I thought my heart had stopped. She sounded so scared. I tore through those woods searching non stop -"
"Dean!" Sam interrupted, loudly, stopping his brother's rambling.

"That's Dad's brainwashing talking. He raised you to think you weren't good enough if you did one thing wrong, if you made a mistake because he made you care for me, raise me rather than do it himself."
There was no more talk of what had happened or about John as they heard little feet heading towards the living room.
"I'm in the kitchen Princess! And I have a surprise for you!" Dean shouted, smiling as Amélie entered the kitchen in her pink Princess pyjamas, bedhead and Coco in hand as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"Daddy." Amélie shouted, running into his outstretched arms.
"Hi baby." Dean said, standing up with Amélie on his hip and kissing her forehead. "Look who's here." He said, pointing to the table, after they did their usual morning greeting.
"Nana! Gwandpa!" Amélie said excitedly, despite seeing them yesterday.

"Hello my Princess." Charles smiled, both he and Claudette getting up to kiss Amélie in greeting. "Guess where we're all going?" He asked.
"W'ere?" She asked, sleepily with her cute little lisp, her head tilted to the side.
"We're going to Disneyland, pumpkin." Sam said, inserting himself into the conversation. Dean winced a little as Amélie screamed excitedly.
"Tank you Daddy." Amélie exclaimed, hugging her father tightly.

"You're welcome baby. Daddy also got you a Rapunzel dress and shoes, Daddy's got grey Mickey Mouse ears and a T-shirt that has Mickey on the front and on the back it says, 'Princess Protection'. It's coming today and then we'll head off, it's a long drive to Orlando." Dean said, kissing her head as he sat her in the booster seat at the table and cut up her toast with raspberry jam on it, placed banana slices on her plate next to the toast, and her sippy cup full of orange juice next to her.

Dean smiled at how excited Amélie was as he got her out of the car in the car park of Disneyland. She looked beautiful in her Rapunzel dress with the golden crown in her hair that matched her golden shoes, her blonde hair in a plait and he'd pinned the flowers into her braid.
"Let go Daddy." Amélie said excitedly, clapping her hands and jumping up and down.
"Calm down sweetie, we have to check in first." Claudette laughed, smiling at her happy granddaughter as she climbed from the Impala.
"Hold my hand Amélie. It's very busy and you don't want to get lost." Dean said firmly, holding out his hand. Eyes widening a little Amélie quickly took her Dad's hand and held it tightly but still bounced on the spot. Coco held tightly in her other hand.

After checking into the hotel in Magic Kingdom so they could drop off their bags, and getting their tickets, they headed towards Fairytale Hall so Amélie could meet Rapunzel, Tiana and Cinderella. Then Merida in her Fairytale Garden and Ariel in her Grotto. Despite being excited all the way there Amélie suddenly became very shy and hid behind Dean's leg hugging it tightly.
"Don't you want to see Rapunzel and show her your pretty dress, baby? You were excited all the way here." Dean coaxed, as Rapunzel, Tiana and Cinderella crouched down and smiled gently at the small toddler. Slowly Amélie came out from behind Dean's leg but she grabbed his hand, so he had to come with her.

"That is a very pretty dress. Much prettier than mine." Rapunzel said, smiling at Amélie.
"What's your name? I'm Tiana." Tiana kindly introduced herself.
"Amehle." Amélie said, trying to say her name.
"Amélie." Dean translated for them.
"Amélie. Why, that is a name fit for a Princess." Cinderella cried. "How about us Princesses all have a picture together? Daddy can come too." She added, noticing the uncertain look on Amélie's face. Claudette smiled at them as she pulled her camera from her bag and then snapped a picture of them.
They visited more Princesses and other characters, and slowly Amélie got more confident and had a picture with them on her own but mainly with her Daddy.

They visited Fantasyland and went on King Arthur's Carousel this time Claudette went on with Amélie, sitting behind her on the horse as the pair waved to Dean, Charles and Sam who took a picture of them. Next; Dean tried to pull the sword from the stone but he couldn't so he asked for his special girl to help him and they did it together pulling it out from the stone - Sam, Claudette and Charles cheering for her and taking another picture of the pair. Next, they went on the Alice in Wonderland ride and, It's a Small World ride, before they stopped to have some lunch. While they were eating Sam visited the gift shop and brought Amélie an Olaf and Bruni stuffed toy, while Dean brought her Pascal.

Sam had to admit he may have gone overboard, slightly, and he may have possibly gone the wrong way about getting Amélie to open up to him but he was trying.
"Tank you Daddy. Tank you Unca Sammy." Amélie said happily, squeezing the stuffed toys and Coco tightly.
"You're welcome sweetie. Shall we put Coco in the bag with the toys Sammy and I got you." Dean asked, kissing her head but shooting a look at his brother saying they'd talk about this tonight when she was asleep. "We don't want Coco to get lost."

Looking unsurely for a while, Amélie finally relented and placed Coco in the bag but she was not happy about it.
"It's just so he doesn't get lost. You'll be upset otherwise and that'll make Daddy sad." Dean said, kissing her head and tickling her to cheer her up.
"No Daddy!" Amélie giggled, trying to squirm away from him but her Grandpa was on the other side of her and he joined in too. Once the trio had calmed down and they had all finished their lunch and used the bathroom, they went on Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride which Amélie loved but Dean hated, but he loved seeing the smile and laughter come from his daughter so he endured it with a smile on his face.

When they could finally get off much to Dean's relief they moved on to ToonTown where they went into Minnie's House which was interactive for Amélie. Afterwards they went to Adventureland and went on the Jungle Cruise which Amélie thought was amazing as she gasped and looked around in awe and wonder much to the amusement of her family. All of them snapped pictures of Amélie, or all of them together, but the most of the pictures that were taken were of Amélie and Dean. He'd hold her up in the air and spin them around the both of them laughing, there was a picture of Amélie on his shoulders, in his arms as Dean placed a kiss on her head, or just walking together. Anyone looking at the father and daughter duo could clearly see how much they loved and adored each other and it warmed their hearts and left them with wide smiles upon their faces.

Over the course of the three day stay at Disneyland they'd all had a wonderful time and taken a lot, and they meant a lot of photos. Dean loved the one of him and Amélie in front of the castle where he's holding her in the air. It had been an amazing break for all of them and a time where they could bond together. Dean and Amélie had seemed to become closer if that were possible as she was already a Daddy's girl. And they definitely agreed on returning next year. As they were leaving Dean couldn't help but smile at his daughter, who was already fast asleep in her car seat, Coco and Pascal clutched tightly to her chest and Minnie Mouse ears upon her head.
"Thank you for inviting us, Dean, it's been an amazing break." Claudette said happily, brushing some hair gently out of Amélie's face.

"You don't need to thank me." Dean said, as he pulled the Impala out of the car park, starting the journey back home to New Orleans. They'd have a couple of days to recuperate before starting to look for his Dad again. Not that he really wanted to, Dean admitted to himself quietly. "You're family. You know Amélie and I will always invite you to everything." Dean said passionately.
"Thank you Dean." Charles said, gently clapping Dean on the shoulder. There was silence for a while as everyone just listened to the music and relaxed from the hectic but fun time in Disneyland. They were all exhausted.
"Dean," Sam said, breaking the silence. "What's it's gonna take for you to forgive me or Amélie to warm up to me?" Sam asked quietly, weariness in his tone. "Dean?" Sam asked again, slightly annoyed this time.

"I'm thinking. And don't you dare wake her up." Dean whispered but firmness was clearly heard in his tone. "I don't know Sam. You say you're sorry but it's actions, man. When you were carrying Amélie in the Forest, she asked you to play I spy with her and you said no. I heard you." Dean said, giving his brother a look when he opened his mouth. Sam closed it and sighed.
"You want her to be with you like she is with me, Claudette, Charles, Casey and Bobby, but when she wants to play with you, you turn her down. You could've easily played while keeping an eye on things around you, that's the perfect opportunity to play it. I did it. So, I'm sorry but until I see you making an effort with my daughter, that doesn't include splashing money on her but actual quality time and effort, I can't forgive you." Dean said firmly, putting an end to the discussion.
