Mercedes sat down on the outside steps, patting her lap and smiling as Sam crawled up. "Here you go, Sammy boy." She cooed, feeding him leftover pancake. "I hope you're okay with jam today, Quinn didn't eat as much as we thought she would." Mercedes explained and smiled as the boy snuggled up to her, ruffling his hair. "Your such a good puppy. I'm sorry when Quinn can get rough, you know she doesn't mean it." She explained, giving him a sympathetic look. Sam shrugged to show that he didn't mind, rested his hand on her lap and chewing at the pancake, not caring that it was cold. Mercedes stayed out there for a few minutes, hugging him and talking softly, with Sam appreciating her giving him some time, even though she probably had a lot to do today. There was a loud scream from inside and Mercedes sighed, reluctantly getting up. "I'll try and come back later, if they haven't killed each other." Mercedes murmured, patting his head and moving back into the house.
A slightly quieter scream came from upstairs and she strode up the stairs, sighing when she saw what the problem was. Puck had given Rachel the first bath, and now the brunette was in the hallway, looking irritated. Daddy had dressed her in a cute bird sweater with a plaid skirt, cute frilly socks on her feet. "What's wrong?" Mercedes asked, bending down to get on eye level, combing her fingers through the girl's dark damp hair. "Daddy playing with Quinn, not me." Rachel huffed and Mercedes sighed at the girl's scowl. "Daddy plays with you all the time aswell, now let's go do your hair. And no need to scream and scar e the neighbourhood." Mercedes warned, leading the girl into the bathroom. She stopped in the doorway, not realizing that Puck and Quinn were actually in there. Puck was sitting in the bath in swim shorts, with Quinn naked and across from him, splashing him and pushing her ducky toy around. "Honey, they aren't playing, daddy's just giving her a bath!" Mercedes explained to Rachel, picking up the hairbrush and working on the tangles in her hair. They were not sexual with anyone but each other and Santana. Rachel and Quinn were treated like real children, with Sam and Dani like real children. They tried not to be naked in front of the kids if they could help it, to reinforce their roles and encourage the innocent nature.
Puck grinned at Quinn, watching her. He had picked her and he absolutely adored his little girl. When Mercedes and Puck got together, Puck had Santana. Mercedes had Sam and Rachel. When they got together, Rachel had begged to get a pony, so a pony she got. Mercedes wanted to know what Puck wanted, anything he wanted they would get. Despite having little Rachel and adoring her, he wanted someone younger. When Quinn arrived, that is when Rachel became jealous. Despite talking to Rachel several times about it, and trying to stop the jealousy issues, it really wouldn't stop and it was starting to become a concern.
"Daddy?" Quinn chirped quietly and Puck smiled. "Yes pumpkin?" He asked softly and gasped when Quinn splashed him, wiping the water out of his eyes. "I know you like splashing but don't splash so hard..otherwise daddy might get sore eyes." He cooed, pulling her close and kissing her forehead. He held her close, rocking her gently and smiling. Mercedes smiled at them as she finished, as Rachel stormed out with a scowl. "Damage control, daddy." Mercedes murmured, scooping Quinn out of the bath with a towel. Puck sighed and got out, drying himself off. "Rachie." He called out, moving to go find her while Mercedes focused on Quinn, cooing softly. "Your okay baby girl." She cooed, stroking her hair. "Rachel's just being a bit grumpy." Mercedes explained and with Quinn wrapped up in a towel; Mercedes led her towards her bedroom.
