When Artie's parents arrived home with her things, they lead her up the stairs to Artie's elder brother's, Mark, room. Artie followed soon after, going up the small elevater built beside the stairs.. Of course, she already knew every single inch of the Abram's home. She had been over more times than countable since her and Artie had been best-friends since sixth grade. Every single member of the Abrams family loved Tina. That's why they knew Mark would not oppose to Tina staying in his old bedroom, and that Artie's younger sister, Cassie, would die at the opportuniity to have Tina live there full time. The two were already like sisters anyways. The room at the current time was black because Mark had thought it was a manly color. The family offered that they could change the color if she wished but Tina declined saying she liked it at the moment. The four began arranging her things around the room, including stripping the old bed covers and replacing them with Tina's hot pink and dark purple covers instead. Soon the space looked like Tina's. She couldn't help but feel that this was where she was meant to be.
Soon, all four of them were laughing and chatting as they worked on that night's dinner. They were cooking meat-loaf with home made mashed potatos and a side salad. They knew it was Tina's favorite meal. Artie and Tina decided to casually let it slip that they were deciding to keep the baby during the cooking to see his parents reactions. Both stopped momentarily but looked up and smiled at eachother They then hugged both of them with words promising they would support them and be the best grandparents ever. But they also then had to give them the serious parenting speach on how it was not going to be easy and all the trials and tribulations they'd be going through. Both took in every word thoughtfully. They knew this was only the beginning of a long journey, but they took refuge in the fact they would have amazing support. Tina thought Artie's family were angels in disguise. She had never known anybody like them.
When Artie's little sister came home and they gave her the news, she screamed and jumped up and down and gave Tina a huge hug. They then had to tell her why she was moving in, but then she just got excited over the fact that she was going to be an aunt. She had so much energy for a 9 year old. They had a lovely dinner with plenty of laughter and talking. Tina never had those kind of dinners with her parents. The Abrams asked her if she wanted to miss school tomorrow to escape the many questions and weird looks, but Tina shook her head. She didn't feel as helpless as she did that mourning. She was ready to face everybody. She smiled over at Artie who returned the same. She knew she could survive if he was there with her. The Abrams were her family now, they had always been her family, but Glee was her second family and she knew they would show the same support. She didn't expect the day to go easy, but she couldn't hide forever. She actually smiled at the prospect of returning. She had nothing to hide now.
