This is better left in the realm of fanfic. I'm not sure it would be as charming played out on screen.
I agree with you completely, but after a Kripke interview, Dean's meet up with Lisa gave me pause.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

I hope not. I go for the Occam's razor and figure it's the boys.
Yep. It rings more true to me than Lisa did. Ash did say it was rare, yet Dean found Sam pretty easily.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do not want Ben to be Dean's. Off in fanfic world (in fanfics I will not read) he can live with her and raise the kid, but canon offspring? Ick, no. I also do not want Dean to believe Ben is his.

As good as Dean is with kids, I don't see Ben as his son. I prefer to believe that Sam is the only child he will ever raise.

Because books.

Okay, that breaks me hard. HARD. Boys. Oh, boys.

Uh, yeah, that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I feel kinda lonely in my parsing of this episode.
I'm with you.
I also do not want Dean to believe Ben is his.
Until this part. I don't know what Dean believes, but he sure has been harping on deadbeat dads a lot. That seems like the reason for the visit to Lisa to me.
I prefer to believe that Sam is the only child he will ever raise.
I do like this sentiment though.

I know. I'm sorry. It seems to fit the narrative of Dean. :-(

If Dean has believed Ben is his this whole time, he's been a royal shithead. I don't like that character note. If he hasn't, and learns Ben is actually his, it forces a choice on him, and one outcome of that is an apple pie ending I don't actually want for the series.

Maybe the apple pie ending ("There'll be peace when you are done") is Heaven?
