"Hang those up higher, Taehyung," Jin demanded before turning his sharp eyes to Jungkook, "I know you aren't doing what I think you are doing?"

Jungkook squeaked before darting to hide behind his mate. Kat rolled her eyes and stepped out of the way so Jin had full access to the Beta, who was eating the snacks he'd been fretting over for the past three hours. "Have at him, Jin, because I'm fairly sure I saw him stick his finger into the icing on the cake."

"YOU DID WHAT?"

"Kat, why would you? Oh shit," Jungkook yelled as he took off, running out of the door, almost barreling down Yoongi and Jimin, who was carrying a large wooden box.

"What the hell, Jungkook?" Jimin screamed as he scrambled to make sure they didn't drop the gift in their hands.

"Sorry, Mins gotta go before I die."

"That's right, you little shit. Joon, grab him!" Jin screamed at his mate, who was coming towards Jungkook with a confused look on his face. But of course, Joon did as Jin demanded; he all but clotheslined the poor Beta and threw him over his shoulder.

"Is there a reason that you two are fighting on such a joyous day?"

Kris snickered, "Jungkook keeps eating the food Jin made."

"Jin, it's Kook. You know he's incapable of being around food without eating it. You know how much he puts away daily; he's like a pup. If he sees food, he's gonna eat it."

"Yeah," Jungkook cried with his face smushed into the Alpha's back. Joon reached up and swatted his ass, making Jungkook kick his feet in the air and scream about how unfair all of this was.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, our little Minhee, Happy Birthday to you."

Minhee had just tore into her cake when there was a knock on the door, Jin looked at his mate, "did you invite anyone else?"

"No, I told some people it was her birthday but that we'd have a public party next weekend."

Jin stood up, walking over to open the door, but before he got there, Kat, Kris, Jimin, and Yoongi all gasped as tears started to fall. The door swung open, and Mandy was standing on his porch. "Hi," she whispered. "I, I hope it's okay that I came. I heard it was Minhee's birthday today and-"

She didn't even get to finish before she was pulled into Jin's arms, and the Omega was sobbing into her hair. Mandy awkwardly patted his back with one arm. "You are always welcome wherever we are; we aren't a pack without you."

"Stop hogging my bestie," Kat grumbled as she pushed Jin out of the way and wrapped her arms around Mandy, Kris wiggling her way into the hug as well. "I've missed you so much; come meet the boys."

Mandy found herself with a lap full of pups, all four of them wanting to be as close to the Alpha as possible. Minhee was right in the middle, and any time one of the others tried to move her, she'd growl at them. "I brought gifts for the kids. I wasn't sure what they wanted or needed, so I went with practical."

For Minhee, she made leather shoes that will keep her feet warm in the snow this winter. For Isaac, Liam, and Edwina, she made pants with leather on the knees to protect them when they crawl. It made all the parents cry, which freaked Mandy out, thinking she'd done something wrong. Jimin and Yoongi scooted closer to her, wanting to calm her down. "I'm glad you came."

"It was time," she whispered back as she lay her head on Yoongi's shoulder and reached out to grab Jimin's hand. It's time to come home."

"I know that everyone is super happy that Mandy is back, and trust me, I am too, but I have something I've been dying to tell you guys." Kat looked at her two mates. "We're having another pup, only one this time, though."

"Wow, that was fast," Jimin mumbled.

Mandy snorted, "I'm surprised it took her this long, if I'm being honest. You've seen her obsession with knots."

Kat glared at her friend, who wanted to throw something at her, but since all the pups were sitting on her, she was safe. "You won't have the pup shield forever, Alpha."

The Alpha was playing with Minhee. "What's this pretty girl?" she asked as she held up the crocheted wolf that Hobi had made for the little pup. Her head popped up, looking at Jin. "This looks like my wolf."

Jin snorted, "Since that day she saw you in the woods, she has been a little obsessed. It took us forever to calm her down after you left. She wasn't happy until Hobi gave her that toy; it goes everywhere with her now." Jin frowned, "Little brat doesn't care about her parents' wolves at all."

"Should I shift? It's her birthday, after all, and if it would make her happy, I'll do it."

"Would you?" Jin gasped, "That would be like the best present ever for her. Better than anything else she got."

"Yah, we spent a whole week on that toy box," Jimin grumbled.

Jungkook grinned, "It's really nice. You should make one for the boys or two so they don't have to share. Isaac loves green, and Liam likes black."

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "You are a better builder than I am; you can make it."

"I'm building houses, you build all the cool little shit," he shrugged.

Mandy got up and walked into the other room so she could shift; as soon as she walked out, Minhee squealed and screamed, 'Pwetty!' as she ran as fast as she could directly towards the Alpha. Mandy got down on her belly, crawling towards the toddler. She was so patient, letting the four pups climb all over her and pull on her fur. At one point, Isaac was biting the Alpha's ear.

"Do you think she'll go back to healing since she's back? I know how happy it made her, and the current healer would love the help."

Joon hummed as he wrapped his arms around Jin, "I sure hope so."
