Can Hate Turn Into Love?

Epologue

Jack's POV

Life has been good for the past 5 years.  Skye has two little brothers running around.  Link and Ashton.  Ashton hates being called ash and looks exactly like me.  Sky blue hair and all.  He even has the different colored eyes.  He is the oldest biological kid we have at 4.  Link is the exact replica of Mark.  But he has Tony's stuck up attitude.  But the difference is that he adores us like his brothers.  Skye has grown up onto a handsome 15 year old. He hasn't got rid of his doe eyes, which is a huge blessing on his part.  He has girls cooing over him everywhere he goes, much to his annoyance.  He comes home and complains about it all the time.

Jay hasn't contacted me since I was 21.  I've been sad because of it but I know he will one day.  I just hope that he wasn't apart of that company explosion that happened when we were 21 and killed several people. 

Mark and I figured that the disasters will keep coming until either Manic or I die.  I don't plan on dying anytime soon.  Neither does Manic. 

Speaking of Manic.  Jim gave birth to a set of twins.  One of them is a Oriental dragon, she is quite feisty and if she stands on her back legs, she is as tall as dad.  Sadly our first born didn't live.  He died in childbirth.  He was a blue oriental. We mourned him and Skye cried.  He was looking forward to a little brother.  It almost broke his heart when Jimmy didn't make it.  But he was ecstatic when the birth of Ashton.  He has been a great big brother to the boys.  He calls them his full brothers when really they are his adopted brothers. 

Mark's family has been through tough time with Tony though.  The girls ignore him like he didn't exist.  Their parents have tried to talk to them but he just gives them the silent treatment.  The way he acts though, one would thing he got beat at home which never happened.

"Daddy! I'm home!" Skye still hasn't dropped calling me daddy.  In fact, he got both the boys to call me daddy and Mark papa. 

Living room! I called back.  He wearily walks into the living room with a slight limp.  I raise an eyebrow at him and he gulps.  He knows the routine by now.  He lifted his shirt and his torso was covered in bruises.  Mark walked in and dropped the tray of food he was carrying into the living room for after school snacks.  Luckily, Ashton grabbed the food before it hit the floor and made a mess.  Mark started to shake his head, telling the boys to go to their room.  Ashton placed the tray on the floor as he scurried to his room behind his brother.

"Sorry.  At least it's not as bad as yesterday!  Anthony had me cornered in the boys bathroom today.  The principal still won't believe me because "he is such an angel" around them.  I don't know what to do anymore!" He cried.

"True about its not as bad as yesterday.  But still Skye!  You can't let Tony push you around!  Sweety, we don't even classify him as family anymore so you don't have to hold yourself back when it comes to my brother" Mark fretted. Mark really hasn't called Tony his brother since he moved out of his house.

"I've tried dad! But he gets his friends to help him.... Remember when I was sent to the hospital that day? I fought back that day and he got his friends and they beat me so bad that I needed to go to the hospital! I can't win!" He cried, throwing his hands in the air, wincing at the sudden movement. Mark just sighed.

"I remember that day. I also remember Hack going and finding Tony and threatening him that day but he still does this to you! I want to know why!" Mark whined. This is a weekly occurrence now. Mark whines about his oldest baby getting hurt by his family member. Sadly Skye gets beaten by Tony daily. There are the bruises that never heal because they get worse.

I saw Skye grit his teeth and I knew he was changing. Yeah Skye got teased about all those piercings at school, but Mark put an ending to that in 5 minutes when he was "visiting" the school. Skye relaxed around school then. He is still friendless even if the girls coo over him. They are scared of Tony and what he could do.
