And we wrap up this story with a happy ending.


Chapter 21: Big Family

Shortly after the court, the boys went back to their place and brought in all of their belongings and sent them to the McDodd house. Jojo helped bring in Jonah's stuff and they sent it upstairs towards a guest room. Jojo brought in a box and it was a very medium sized box. He asked, "What's in this box?"

"CD's." Jonah answered.

"Great explanation." he answered, in a strained voice.

Travis, Hawk and Cyrus brought in the rest of their belongings to the guest room as well. Cyrus sighed and said, "Well, I brought in most of my stuff."

Jojo looked at the box and sees that there's a full array of notebooks and pencils in there. He looked at him and asked, "Really?"

"Well, I might need some songwriting juice in order to get settled here."

Jojo chuckled and said, "If you say so."

"Hey, Travis. What have you got in your box?" asked Koa, as he came by the room.

"Just my clothes and some notebooks." Travis answered.

"May I even ask?"

"Well, I have to make room for those."

"Good thing."

Sam and Ned brought in the piano into the room and Ned was starting to grow exhausted. He panted heavily and asked, "Where can we put this?"

"How about on the wall for now?" asked Sam.

"Good choice." Ned said, in a strained voice.

They set the keyboard in the wall and Mana brought in some of the boys' laptops and computers and then, Cody and Marcus came in and brought in a microphone, stool, boxes with clothes, blankets, sheets, video camera, books and Misty helped Mike bring in parts of their beds and set them on the floor.

Sally and Caitlyn brought in the mattresses out of the moving truck and into the guest room as well. Koa and Jojo went all the way downstairs to bring some more stuff out of the moving truck as well. Koa asked, "So, these guys seem nice, don't they?"

"They're pretty much sensitive. After everything that's been happening the past couple of days, I can't imagine them actually moving in with us." Jojo said.

"Well, hey. At least your dad will be used to mave more boys."

"On the upside, I'll still feel like the only boy, even if it's growing."

Travis comes out with Cody and helps grabs some guitars. They both picked up some guitar cases with the guitars in them. Cody asked, "You guys are guitar junkies, right?"

"We live for playing guitar. It sorta helps out with the songwriting and such. The piano does the same thing, too." Travis said.

"You're a surprising dude, Trav."

Mana, Mike and Jonah brought in some more stuff and the others pitched in as well as they settle up setting up the rest of the room as well. They were assembling the beds, unpacking everything in their boxes and set them in their own places, put up their posters in the walls, hooked up the computers, making the beds, clean up a little and before they knew it, it was suddenly a room.

They all looked at it and smiles were filled in the air as they completed it. Ned chuckled and asked, "So, what do you guys think of this room?"

"It actually looks and feels like an actual room, a room that all of us can go to, even if we share our space and all." Jonah said.

"And the best thing about it is we're next door to Jojo's room." Travis said.

"Well, if you guys ever need anything, just come find me. If not, come find mom and dad." Jojo said.

"We will."

A few hours later, everyone gathered around the kitchen-Ned, Sally, Jojo, Jonah, Cyrus, Sam, Hawk, Travis, Mike, Cody, Marcus, Misty, Caitlyn, Koa, Mana and all of Jojo's 96 sisters-to welcome the five Mosley boys in their own home and Jojo was totally excited about it. Ned cleared his throat and said, "We have gathered here today to welcome Jonah, Cyrus, Travis, Hawk and Sam to the McDodd family. We took them in after they dealt with some bad hands with their stepfather for a number of years and we'll provide with love, respect and also feel like they belong here."

"Boys, can you handle all 96 sisters?" asked Sally.

Jonah looked at all of Jojo's sisters and saw their faces for the second time in a row, but this one is a little different that they're actually living here. He chuckled and said, "I hope you guys like me."

Hedy looks at Jonah and gives her a huge hug and said, "Me love Jonah!"

Jonah looks into Hedy's eyes and sees those big blue eyes staring at him and Jonah smiled at her and embraced the hug as well. He said, "Jonah loves Hedy too."

Then, she looks at the rest and gives them a hug as well. They hugged her back and they feel the love as well. Travis looked at all of the other 95 sisters and said, "I hope you guys like me."

"We will."

"We'll treat you the same way as we treat Jojo."

"As long as our daddy doesn't hog all the attention."

"You girls don't have to worry about that, because I will always have time for you all." Ned smiled.

They looked at Jojo and said, "Welcome to the family, you guys."

Everyone cheered and applauded in joy and the Mosley brothers definitely feel like they're really gonna be happy there. Misty gave all of them a huge hug and said, "You guys will be so happy here."

"Don't hog the hugs, Misty." Mike said.

"It's just a welcome!"

"I am so happy for you guys."

"As are we." Hawk said.

"Hopefully, we'll make trips here frequently and just totally hang out and let it rock." Cody said.

"Not too hard, though." Koa said.

"By the way, this is Koa and Mana. Mana, Koa; these are my best friends: Misty, Caitlyn, Cody, Mike and Marcus." Jojo said.

"Nice to meet you." Mana said.

"Same here." Marcus said.

"Where are you guys from?" asked Misty.

"Who-waii."

"Oh, I so want to go there. It has the most beautiful sights of the world."

"In that case, why don't you fall in a volcano?" asked Mike.

"Sure, and I might drag you there with me."

"I'm not that crazy."

"What happened to your leg, Koa?" asked Caitlyn.

"Paul shot it when he tried to kill them. I wanted to step in, because I've seen them pass by the hallway at school several times."

"That dude is totally psychotic."

"Hopefully, this will all be behind us." Jonah said.

"What do you think they're gonna do to Paul, anyway?" asked Ned.

Travis scoffed and said, "Who cares? As long as he's out of our lives, that's good enough for me."

"That lowlife will get what he deserves. Electric chair, totally awesome." Misty said.

"Should we in anyway feel bad that he might be dead from an electtic chair?" asked Marcus.

"No, we should not." Hawk replied.

"You're right. He deserves it."

"I'm sure that we will adjust to new life here and be happy again."

"You guys will, because you're now part of our family." Sally said, happily.

Everyone started hugging each other, each of them felt a sight of relief that things are gonna be okay. The boys definitely feel like they got a place where they literally belong in that loving atmosphere and that Paul is out of their lives for good. Everyone went around the table and started talking as they have dinner together, a bigger family this time.


A/N: I know what you're all thinking? What happened to Paul? Well, here it is...


Meanwhile, at the Whoville prison, some police guards were dragging Paul to the room where they have the electric chair waiting for him. Paul wanted to get out of this one, but the guards knew that there was no escape from this and slammed him to the chair anyway.

"You people are crazy! You can't do this to me! It is not legal!" Paul shouted.

"Child abuse, murdering the boys' mother and trying to inflict bodily harm and attempted aren't legal, either. Besides, we've been hunting you down for a long time."

Paul was trembling and said, "No, please. You can't do this! Do you want to lose your job?"

"No, this is part of my job and I'm having fun with it."

"Are you crazy?"

"Nope. Your life is now going to end, so I'm starting the thing."

"No...no...NOOOOOOOO!"

The police officer pulls the switch as the electric chair shocks Paul and he starts screaming in uncontrollable pain. The shocks were getting into him and he lost the will to live. After 2 minutes, he turned off the switch and Paul is totally dead from inflicting shocks while sitting in the electric chair. The officer looks at him and keeps eating his candy bar. He keeps munching at it and said, "Delicious. Well, that's a wrap."

He left the room with Paul's lifeless body still sitting on the electric chair and at that point, he didn't deserve the will to live and deserved the punishment that has been brought for mistreating his stepsons.
