Sam scratched at the back of his neck and drew in an uneven breath. He could do this. He wouldn't freak out. He'd be an adult; an adult who was used to crazy supernatural, back to the future/present crap like this and he could - why did that kid look so much like them? Sam visibly flinched as Michael shot him a wide eyed, uncertain look. This was not normal. Or right. And it certainly wasn't what Sam had signed up for. Didn't the Powers or Wolfram & Hart or whoever know that he wasn't cut out for this parental stuff? Wasn't that why they took Heather away?
He forced a smile at the pair of them, appreciating the kiss that Faith delivered briefly before he set to work at preparing the ice cream.
"And I told you that family is 'sposed to take care of each other," Michael pointed out enthusiastically. It appeared to be a perspective he felt strongly on, merely judging from the determined look plastered across his tiny face. "Ben prolly thinks that he'd make the world explode if he stayed with us. He's weird like that." Weird, but awesome. Something in which Michael could never deny.
Michael still seemed to be a bit hesitant about his father, but he nodded at Faith's statement all the same. He'd come around, just like the others said. Dad just needed time. In fact, Michael was pretty sure that his mother did as well.
"Ice cream," Sam said, picking up the cones he had created from the counter and hauling them over to table. He handed Faith hers, then offered Michael his own. "There are sprinkles and stuff on the counter, too, if you want them." He didn't feel much like ice cream himself, so he settled into the chair closest to Faith - almost purposefully putting himself on the other side so that he wasn't too close to Michael - and clasped his hands together along the edge of the table. "So."
Michael hated awkward moments like that. Even though the ice cream was nice and temporarily distracting, he kicked at the base of the table with a foot and, after taking a lick, he squinted up at them both and said, "Does that mean I'll be living here with Uncle Dean and Grandpa and Grandma too?"
