Chapter 1: a trademark lost

Mana's trademark spiked choker began to wear and tear until finally one day it just broke completely, Mana was in shock that his choker finally broke, but realized that it was old and was going to break eventually, but what was even more of a shock was that the spikes were screwed together. Mana wondering if he would be able to add it to anything else decides to take them apart until a little jewel falls out from one of them.

"What the?" Mana says looking at the small round jewel that is glistening in the light of the room, Mana then dumps out all the remaining 11 spikes and counts 12 small jewels.

"hmm I wonder how much I can get for these jewels?" Mana quietly asks himself as he sneaks out of the house and into his car driving down the road a few miles he comes to a jewelry store and walks inside holding the twelve small ruby orbs in his hand.

"How much can I get for these?"

"Are you serious?" the guy asks with shock in his voice

"Yeah I mean even if it is not that much I still would sell it" Mana says with a confused look on his face

"Well I am not going to lie to you, each ruby is worth 1.6 million dollars" the clerk says.

Mana's heart jumps into his stomach at the sound of that as the clerk gets out a check and begins to sign it

"Wait I don't want to seem Greedy, and God did bless my mom with this to give to me so how about you just buy six of them and I throw in the other six for free" Mana says sincere about his offer.

"NO WAY? YOU'RE PULLING MY LEG? THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH YOU ARE VERY GENEROUS" the clerk says writing the check before handing it to Mana. Mana quickly jumps into his car and drives off towards the bank. Parking the car he eagerly makes his way and does a quick deposit, the banker is shocked to see such a large check and thinks that Mana is a drug dealer, but Mana reassures her that it's just he sold his jewelry so that he could make a difference.

After the deposit Mana takes a lollipop and makes his way back to his car, he is quick to call Koa them and tell them that the money is deposited and to start working on the blueprints.

"Mana, no worry we got the blueprints all done, we just going to let you see it and see if there is any changes you wish to be made"

Mana arrives along with Sam, and Travis who Koa forgot to pick up .

"Hey you guy's thank you for letting us stay here with you" Sam says dropping his back off in Mana's room.

"I know I can't believe it, we survived our dad long enough to be saved" Travis says also dropping his stuff off in Mana's room

"No worry little bros, we would do whatever it takes to save you guys, or anyone from anything, that is just how we are" Mike says looking over the blueprints.

"The least you could do is make eye contact with them" Cody says scolding his brother who in return just flips him off making everyone just laugh.

"Ok so the total we got is almost nearly 7 million dollars" Mana says a look of accomplishment on his face.

"Good so we should start getting the supplies, but after the rest of the pack gets home, because it's getting late in the afternoon and I am sure everyone wants to go out and eat lunch in honor of our family growing bigger" Cody says waiting for Aaron and Pam to get home.

Aaron and Pam finally get home, Aaron is carrying little Shamus in his arms bouncing him gently. The whole pack goes to greet the newlywed couple (yes this is after Aaron and Pam get married) all the pack are just making baby noises and silly faces to the little fluff ball.

"God Aaron, he has your eyes" Jojo says staring into the little baby's face.

"Well looks like the pack is all here with two new additions to the family" Aaron says looking over at Sam and Travis.

"Hi I am Sam and this is my brother Travis" Sam says as Travis just waves at the pack.

"SAM, TRAVIS!" Cyrus calls out running up to his brothers and hugging them, followed by Hawk, and Jonah hugging their brothers as well.

"When did you get here?" Hawk asks just happy that him and his brothers are finally reunited.

"Mana came and picked us up on the way back from the bank, It took a while but he got us"

"Don't worry me and Sam was waiting patiently" Travis said with a grin.

"Ok lets all go and eat now" Cody says walking out the door being followed by the rest of the pack.

"This is going to be a great idea isn't it Hun?" Aaron says kissing Pam on the lips still holding Shamus in his arms who is fast asleep curled up in a little ball in his dad's arm.

"Hey Aaron, can I hold Shamus?" Cyrus says pleadingly

"Why not, just be careful" Aaron slowly lowers Shamus to Cyrus who begins to gently rock the baby in his arms, tears filling his eyes.

"What's wrong Cyrus?" Pam asks the younger who, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I…I can't believe that I am actually holding a new born who, I didn't think I would be alive to do such a wonderful thing" Cyrus says tears dripping down his face.

"Hey Cyrus, you and your brother's are our brothers now, or sons, which ever you prefer" Aaron says looking at the small who and wipes a finger under his eye catching the tears.

Aaron then wraps the younger who in his arms making sure that he doesn't crush his child in the process, as the rest of the pack as well as Hawk, Travis, Sam, and Jonah embrace Cyrus as well.

"You guys have a home, and a family…with us now ok" Jojo says a tear in his eyes, hearing this makes the five new members begin to break down in tears.

"We *sniffs* We love you guys so much, thank you, thank you for everything" Hawk says tears streaming down his face

"Don't worry we will never let harm come to you" Mana says kissing Hawk on the forehead, "We promise"

Just then they get to a restaurant and request a table as they chat among themselves about how much bigger their house is going to be and what not, finally their table is ready as they all sit around, all the other who's in the restaurant just give them looks of confusion, some crude remarks can be heard which makes Jonah speak up.

"I guess no matter where we go, there will be assholes and bullshit" Which makes the pack snicker under their breath. The waiter comes and asks them if they are ready, as the pack pick up their menu's and give it a quick glance before lowering the menu's to the table and nodding their heads.

"I would like a honey BBQ ribs with a baked potato with melted cheese and bacon bits on it" Aaron says handing her the menu.

"Can I have the keystone burger, with a salad instead of fries" Pam says handing her the menu.

"Ok what kind of dressing"

"Ranch please" Pam says looking at the pack.

"Ok" the waitress says

"Can I get 5 Kid meal burgers with fries and a personal pan pizza please" Mana says hoping that he didn't confuse the lady

The rest of the pack tells her their orders as she nods and goes back towards the kitchen handing the cook the paper, you could hear the cooks groan which causes the pack to burst out laughing, as people begin to give them dirty looks especially a lady and her husband on the table beside them.

"Little ruffians" the lady says.

"What did you say about the kids?" Mana says glaring at the lady

"I said you should ship those kids off to military school so they won't be brats" the lady says returning Mana's glare.

Mana's nose begins to flare as he just smirks before returning to his normal self.

"And as for you missy, aren't you a little young to have a kid? Wow you are what we would call…um what is that word dear?" the man says to his wife

"A whore dear that is the word you were thinking of" the lady says laughing at what she just said.

Aaron not even caring at all picks up his water and throws it full force at the husband knocking him out of his chair.

"You bastard, don't you dare talk to my wife like that!"

Mana gets up as he walks over to the lady an evil grin on his face.

"Do you like your pie?" Mana asks politely

"Why yes I do" She says smiling for once

"Good" Mana says picking up the pie and slamming it in her face.

"Then eat it bitch" Mana growls walking back to the table before turning and facing the restaurant.

"IF YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MY FAMILY SPEAK UP NOW! IF YOU DO THEN I HOPE YOUR READY TO PICK UP YOUR TEETH" everyone just resumes eating their food not making contact with the pack.

"Babe was that really necessary?" Jojo asks looking at his boyfriend.

"Jojo you should know that no one is allowed to disrespect anyone that Mana loves, and it just so happens that Mana loves us" Koa says patting his brother's head causing Mana to stick his tongue out.

"Also I blame myself for not giving Mana breakfast" Cyrus says smiling a bit.

"Cyrus what could you have made that would fill Mana up?" Jonah asks his brother laughing a bit

"Cereal" Cyrus replies sticking his tongue out as well

"looks like we have a little Mana on our hands" Cody says pointing to Cyrus.

Finally the food comes as the waitress apologizes for such a long wait, but Pam just shakes her head saying that it was a big order so it is ok that it came a few minutes late. After they were all done eating the Waitress comes back with a giant banana split.

"OH what's this for?" Pam asks

"This is our apology for causing you guys to wait so long, free of charge" the waitress says setting it on the table after she cleared their plates

The pack thanks the waitress as they begin to dig into their free desert, about 15 minutes later everyone is full as they pay for the bill and begin to make their departure, but before leaving the restaurant Mana kneels to Cyrus whispering into his ear and handing him a $20 bill. Cyrus nods before running around to find their waitress, finally finding her by their table he pulls on her skirt.

"Oh did you guys forget something?" she asks Cyrus who looks up at her

"This is from the pack to you for being so nice to us and giving us that wonderful desert" Cyrus says handing her the 20 dollars.

"Oh Why thank you so very much, and you guys are very welcomed, I am also sorry for what that couple said about you guys, I don't blame that red headed who and the one with the green hair for what they did, I was actually cheering from across the room" She says to Cyrus before winking.

Cyrus then runs to Mana as Mana picks him up piggy back style and walking out of the restaurant towards the car. Finally after their lunch they decide to go pick up the items for their project on the house.
