Disclaimer: I don't own any "Four Brothers" characters. This might be kind of cheesy but I like it. And I know that there would probably be more swearing than this, but I don't like writing like that so this is the best I'll do. Enjoy! Read and review please!!

Jerry, Bobby, and Jack pulled up to their mom's house with the Christmas tree on top of the car. There was a truck parked in front of the house. The three guys got out of the car.

"You guys know who's truck that is," Jack asked them and both of his brother shook their heads.

They pulled the tree from the top of Jerry SUV, and started to take it into the house. When they got inside they took it to the living room and set it up in the stand. They could hear Shae laughing in the kitchen. The three of them walked into the kitchen and saw Shae standing with a man about her age.

"Hey, guys. Did you get a tree?" Shae inquired.

"Yeah we did," Jerry answered as the three of them stood and looked at the man she was with.

"Oh, guys this is Jason Kennedy. He and I went to school together and he's in town for Christmas and stopped by to say hi." Her brothers stepped forward to shake his hand. "This is Jack, Bobby, and Jeremiah."

"Nice to meet you guys," Jason told them.

"Yeah, you too," each of the guys said in their own way.

"Jason plays baseball for the San Francisco Giants. He played when we went to high school together, and then he played at UM."

Jason looked at Shae. "You sound like my mom."

"Oh, sorry."

"Well, I'm gonna go get the decorations from the garage," Jerry announced, and Jack volunteered to go with him.

Bobby opted to stay with them in the kitchen, which made Shae nervous. "Well, Jason and I were gonna go grab some dinner, so I'm gonna go upstairs and change." She went over to Bobby. "Be nice," she whispered in his ear.

Shae went upstairs and got ready as quickly as she could so as to not leave Bobby alone with Jason very long. She threw on a nice top and jeans, and then a pair of heels. When she got down the stairs, she grabbed her coat and called for Jason. He came out to the foyer with Bobby behind him. Shae handed Jason his jacket then ushered him out the door.

"You kids have fun, and don't be too late," Bobby called behind them. Shae glared at him then went out the door.

"Who's the cracker with Shae?" Angel asked as he came in the door as they went out.

"Some pretty-boy baseball player," Bobby responded then turned to help Jack and Jeremiah with the Christmas decorations.

It was after midnight and Jack and Bobby were sitting on the couch watching TV. Jack heard a car pull up outside and turned to look out the window to see who it was. He watched as Shae took her time getting out of the truck. It was too dark to see what they were doing inside the cab. A minute later she walked in the front door then went to start upstairs when Jack's voice stopped her.

"Oh, God, Jackie you scared me. What are you doing? Were you waiting for me?" she asked and glanced past him to see Bobby sitting on the couch. She shook her head. "I can't believe you guys. You'd think the fact that I'm twenty four years-old would be enough reason for you guys to realize that I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself." Jack expression went from cocky to sorry in a second.

"The guy's a pansy, Shae," Bobby yelled out from the living room.

"You know what Bobby, screw you." She started up the stairs. "I wouldn't give a rat's ass who you picked up off the street, so maybe you need to mind your own damn business."

"You sure made her mad," Jack told Bobby as he picked up his empty beer bottle from the coffee table.

"Whatever, she knows I'm right, that's why she's mad."

The next morning Bobby came downstairs and Shae was sitting at the kitchen table sipping coffee. He grabbed a mug and poured a cup for himself. She didn't look at him or say anything to him. Then she pushed her chair back and got up from the table as he sat down.

"What you're not gonna talk to me now?" he called after her and she held her middle finger in the air as she walked away. "Very lady-like." He got up from the table and went upstairs. Angel was in the bathroom shaving and Jack was in the shower. "Hey either of you know this guy Shae's hangin with. She said they went to high school together."

"I was gone before her class came up," Angel replied.

"What about you Crackerjack?"

"He was a big baseball star. I didn't think she hung out with the jocks but maybe she did. There was a guy she tutored in school; it could've been him." Jack opened the shower curtain a little. "Leave it alone, man. She told you last night; she's a big girl she can handle herself."

"I was just asking a question," Bobby replied and threw a hand towel at the shower curtain.

"Whatever, man."

That night after dinner they decorated their Christmas tree. Shae was still refusing to talk to Bobby. After the star was put on the top she helped clean up the boxes then headed up to her room. Bobby was suddenly feeling bad for how he had acted and decided to apologize. As he approached Shae's bedroom door he could hear her talking on the phone.

"No, Angie, I didn't have sex with him. It's not like I could even let him step foot in my house ever again with my brothers around breathing down my neck. I swear Bobby is starting to get on my last nerve. I hope some time soon he'll realize he's not my dad, and just lay off," he heard her say.

After that he decided talking to her wasn't the best thing, and maybe he could just let his actions speak for him. He came back to her room after talking for a bit with his brothers. He didn't hear her talking on the phone so he knocked on the door. He heard her say "come in," so he entered the room.

"Hey, me and Angel and Jack are gonna go grab a drink, you wanna come? You can ask Jason to come too."

She turned to look at him. "Are you gonna act like a grown-up instead of a child?"

"Isn't this proof enough that I want to try?"

She squinted at him. "I don't know what your ulterior motives are but, yeah I'll ask him."

The three Mercer boys sitting at the bar watched their sister walk away from them with a man they all thought was the epitome of a "sissy." Bobby shook his head and took a drink of his beer. Angel looked at him and smirked.

"What?" Bobby asks him.

"You, man, you can't just let that girl do what she wants. Gotta play big brother all the time," Angel responded.

"I just don't wanna see her get hurt or see her with that pansy."

"You know she's gonna be gettin' it on with him a little bit and there's nothin' you can do about it," Jack spoke up. Bobby and Angel both looked at him like he was crazy.

"Thanks for that, Jackie, cause I wasn't already worried about that."

Angel laughed at a thought he had.

"What?" Bobby questioned.

"I was thinkin' maybe we should have some fun with the guy, you know see if he is really right for Shae."

Jack leaned around Bobby to look down the bar at Angel along with Bobby. "She'll kick our asses if she found out."

"You're actually scared of your big sister?" Bobby asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yeah, she kicked my ass a few times when we were younger."

"I wouldn't tell too many people that," Angel told his little brother.

The three of them decided to start their hazing with a good ole fashioned Mercer hockey game. After that they would just make it up as they went along. Jack protested more than once, knowing their sister wouldn't think it funny or a good idea. However, he was out-numbered and his brothers overruled him.
