"Trust me Jackie. You'll like this surprise. I'll see you when you get home."

Bobby's words continued to ring in Jack's head as he drove his car down the street toward his mother's home which was now legally Bobby's.

A total of eight months had passed since the passing of Evelyn Mercer. Her four sons had avenged her death and had managed to get back to their lives, even though they each still hurt deep down that she was gone.

Jerry's business was now prospering and had offered his brother's jobs but Bobby was the only one able to take the offer. Angel had been called back to his base since his leave time was over.

Jack on the other hand had gone back to New York to get back on track with his band. His shoulder and knees had healed nicely and he was glad to be able to move around without the pain anymore.

Things were slowly but surely going his way for the band and right now they were just taking time to relax while a company listened to their demo album. If they like what they hear then the Spares would be signed up.

Pulling into the driveway, Jack noticed that the house looked exactly the same. He parked his car and cut the engine. Deciding to leave his bags for later, the youngest brother walked up the back porch and opened the door with his key.

The house still had the warm atmosphere it always did but it seemed a little different.

Pushing it to the back of his mind, Jack became aware of his brother's voice. He was talking to someone. A woman.

Jack grinned as he made his way down the hallway and stood in the living room doorway where he was quickly spotted.

"Cracker Jack!" Bobby exclaimed standing and walking over to hug his brother.

"Hey Bobby." Jack chuckled and spotted someone else in the room. A young woman with dark brown hair only about two inches shorter than Bobby.

"Jack, this is Melissa." Bobby said walking over and putting an arm around the woman's shoulders. "Melissa, this is my fairy baby brother Jack."

"Hi. Nice to meet you Melissa. Not to sound rude or anything but don't listen to Bobby. He's full of himself most times."

"I already know that Jack. It's nice to meet you too." Melissa said as they shook hands.

"So Bobby, what's the surprise that I had to come see in person that you couldn't tell me over the phone?" Jack asked.

"It's not obvious." Bobby said while looking at Melissa and putting a hand to her stomach.

It was then that Jack noticed Melissa's stomach was round with the sure sign of pregnancy.

The youngest brother turned shocked and surprised eyes to Bobby who grinned.

"You're gonna be an uncle again Jack." Bobby stated.

"No way." Jack gasped with a small smile. "You're gonna be a dad?"

"Yep." Bobby answered proudly. "Melissa and I are getting married next week. I need you to be my best man Jackie."

"Me? Really?" Jack asked with a hopeful grin.

"Yeah. Really. You're the only brother I have left that's still got a wild side to him. The Marines are actually getting Angel under control and Jerry lost his spark when Daniela was born. That's why for the next week you and I have to get as crazy as possible before I tie the knot."

"Not too crazy." Melissa declared.

"Mel, you remember what I told you about growing up with the fairy and my other brother's. I can't make any promises." Bobby said with a playful grin.

"Can you at least promise to pick up a few things for dinner tonight?"

"Ok. Jack can you stay with her?"

"Sure. It'll give me a chance to tell her the truth about what you told her about me." Jack replied.

"Hey, she already knows that you're a fairy. What else is there to tell?" Bobby said with a chuckle as he grabbed his coat.

"So how did you meet my brother?" Jack asked handing Melissa a steaming cup of tea.

"Thank you Jack. Well, it's actually not very interesting but I met Bobby when I went to interview for a job Jerry had open at his business. Bobby was there and helped interview me. We kind of hit off right away and started hanging out together. Next thing I know, we're seriously dating and I find out that I'm pregnant. He's been taking very good care of me."

"Wow. When are you due?"

"After next month." she answered. "We're not sure what the baby is and we want it to be a surprise."

"I'm still blown away. I never in my life pictured Bobby being a father. Well maybe. Another Michigan Mauler running around the house is what freaks me out a little though."

"I know. Bobby says that if we have a son he wants to put him in hockey as soon as he starts walking." Melissa said with a smirk and sipped her tea.

"Sounds like Bobby." Jack said with a nod of his head. "I'm pretty sure that's what happened to him when he was little. So how did the thought of marriage come up?"

"Well, it was Bobby's idea even though I had wanted to be the one to say it first. He said that he doesn't want his child to be born with their parent's not married. He doesn't want his child to be a b*****d child."

"I see where he's getting at." Jack said with a slight nod. "He doesn't want his son or daughter to live the same life he did. I knew he had a heart."

Melissa smiled.
