The bell rang and it was time for Brooklyn and Jack to go to her history class. They quickly walked to the class room and took seats, Jack in the back of the room and Brooklyn sat in front of him. The teacher walked in and she caught Jack's attention right away. She was young, thin, blonde hair, and blue eyes, very pretty. "We have a new student today," the women looked down at the paper in her hand and made a face, "Brooklyn Mercer, are you related Bobby, Jeremiah, Angel, and Jack Mercer." Jack looked at the girl closely wondering where he knew her from.

"Lilia? Lilia Knight?" Jack stood up from his seat and walked toward the women.

The women looked surprised but than pulled Jack into a hug. The whole class was starred at them, talking about what was going on. "Jackie, little Jack Mercer, look how you grew up. But wait what are you doing here?"

Jack picked up the paper she had dropped when she hugged him and pointed out the note that the secretary had sent to each of the teachers. Lilia nodded in agreement, "I didn't know you moved back to Detroit." Jack said to her and then looked at Brooklyn, "Bobby had this crush on her growing up, I think she's the only girl he actually liked." Lilia had grew up next door to the boys, she moved away after high school to go to college in Florida and Jack was so surprised to see her eleven years later.

"Let me get my class started on their projects and then we'll catch up." Lilia told Jack. Jack nodded and sat back down. "Class we are going to partner off and work on this project, it is due Monday, that's three days so you will have to work on it out of class," Lilia passed out a paper with directions for the project out to the class. She paired off the class and paired Brooklyn up with a kid named Shane. Shane was very cute and was obviously happy to be paired up with Brooklyn. Jack saw this and wasn't happy about her being paired up with a male, but looking around the he noticed that most of the pairs were boy/girl.

Brooklyn and Shane sat next to each other and read the directions for the project. They had to write a report on an event in history. They decided to do Pearl Harbor knowing that it was the event in history they knew the most about. "We could go to the library after school and get books." Shane told Brooklyn. Brooklyn looked over at Jack who was sitting talking to Lilia in front of her.

"Jackie-o," Brooklyn got his attention and he looked at her. "What are we doing tonight?"

"Dinner," Jack told her then looked at Lilia, "You should come, everybody's going to be there."

"Yeah you should, Bobby would like that," Brooklyn put in.

"Ok, yeah," Lilia smiled.

"Well why don't you go the library and pick out books and then you can come to my house and we can work on the projects, you can stay for dinner." Jack laughed when he heard this, Bobby and Angel wouldn't like this at all, but they had to work on the project and it was better to do it where the boys could watch her rather than somewhere where the two of them could be alone.

"I'm going to the store," Bobby left through the back door slamming the door behind him. Fifteen minutes after he left there was a knock on the door. Angel, Jack, Jerry, and Brooklyn were sitting in the living room watching music videos on MTV. Camille and Sofi were in the kitchen cooking, while Daniela and Amelia were running around screaming.

"I'll get it," Both Brooklyn and Angel jumped up. Brooklyn let Angel get the door knowing that Bobby and Angel liked to get the door for some reason. They said it had something to do with past experiences, whatever that meant.

Angel held a gun with his one hand and opened the door slightly with the other, he saw Shane standing there "What do you want?"

"I'm here for Brooklyn," Shane answered getting scared; Angel was big and very intimating.

"What do you want with my sister?"

"Your sister?" Shane asked confused.

Angel glared at the boy, "Yeah she's white, I'm black, tell me something I don't know." Bobby pulled into the driveway and saw a person standing in the doorway of his house.

He quietly walked up behind the boy trying to scare him; he was carrying two 24-packs of beer. "What the hell do you want?" Bobby asked loudly causing Shane to jump.

"He's here for our sister," Angel answered for Shane.

Bobby pushed past Angel and went in the house, "Jackie your boyfriends here." Brooklyn jumped up knowing it was probably time to rescue Shane.

"He's here for me."

"Oh that sister," Bobby said loudly from in the kitchen where he was putting the beer down, then he walked back into the living room. "Now what's he doing here?"

"We have to do a project for school, so I invited him over for dinner," Brooklyn explained quietly.

Bobby looked annoyed and pushed Shane against the wall. "I want your hands where I can see them and don't you dare try any freaky shit with her." Shane nodded at of pure fear, but Bobby held him by his collar a little longer just to let Shane know he wasn't play any games.

"Ok Bobby, you can stop now," Brooklyn pushed Bobby lightly off Shane. "Anyway Shane these are my brothers Bobby, Jerry, Angel, and Jack. That's Jerry's wife Camille, Angel's girlfriend Sofi, and Jerry's daughter Daniela and Amelia." Brooklyn walked around introducing Shane. When she was finished there was another knock on the door.

Bobby shook his head and walked onto the porch and swung open the door. Everyone heard a shriek scream. "Oh my god, Bobby Mercer." Lilia ran up and hugged Bobby. They stood outside for a few minutes hugging; Bobby was so surprised to see her again.

"What are you doing here, back in Detroit, I mean?"

"Jack didn't tell you he invited me for dinner?" Lilia asked she was starting to think that maybe she was getting set up.

Bobby shook his head telling her he knew nothing about her coming and then invited her inside. Everyone was sitting in the living room except Camille and Sofi who were in the kitchen finishing up dinner. When Angel and Jeremiah saw Lilia they jumped and hugged her. All of the boys were so surprised to see their childhood friend again.

Dinner was served a little later and the boys pushed together a couple of tables so that all eleven of them could sit together. Bobby said a pray and they all sat down and began to eat. During dinner Brooklyn looked around at the people surrounding her and smiled. Bobby was grilling Shane about his past, which was making Lilia laugh. Sofi was feeding Angel mashed potatoes; they were so in love even though Angel never wanted to show it. Jerry was cutting up Amelia turkey will Camille and Danielle were talking and laughing. And Jack, Brooklyn looked at Jack who was sitting, eating quietly, keeping to himself completely, he looked up and a smiled. Family a real family, that's all Brooklyn ever wanted.
