Camp was so much fun for the Fabanges and their guests. The past three months had been so relaxing and soothing! Nothing was complicated like during the school year.
Mercedes was really sad to go home but she did miss her friends and family. But some good things happened that summer.
Laura and Marc got married. A couple days after his birthday about a week ago, they all went into town and the two got married at the courthouse.
Mike and Mercedes were best man and maid of honor. Mal recorded it and they sent it to everyone in the family. It was a true highlight of the summer.
On a smaller but no less thrilling note; Quinn and Sam really bonded. Everywhere you looked, they were together. It was super cute. Finn who?
Maddie even had a flirtation that the girls hid from the boys, even though she saved time for Stevie. It was the summer of love. Even Marcy and Mal seemed to bury the hatchet and they were inseparable again. They were always sneaking away to go make love.
Puck and Mercedes did enough of that on their own. But it was worth it because she was in the throes of young, innocent, carefree love.
Mercedes was walking down from her cabin when she saw Marcy driving a cart down the path. She whistled and waved to her sister. "Marce!"
Marcy stopped and waved her to join her.
Mercedes ran to the cart and jumped in. "Hey! Where are you coming from?"
"The showers. I had to get the smell of horse off me." She drove down the mountain.
Mercedes looked her over and was amazed again by the fact that she barely looked pregnant and she was due in two weeks. Maybe I'm a hater but she should be way bigger. Especially since she's carrying twins. "You don't smell like horse."
"I scrubbed with my lemongrass body wash."
Mercedes sniffed her. "Smells good."
"Hey, there's Puck." She inclined her head.
Mercedes brightened and looked around for her man. "Noah!"
He looked up and searched for whoever called his name. He saw them and stopped walking. Marcy stopped the cart beside him and he climbed on the back. "Sup, Mama. Mini Mama. Where're you coming from?"
"My cabin." Mercedes turned to look at him.
"Showers." Marcy said. "Speaking of, you stink, brah."
He laughed. "You don't like my manly smell?"
Marcy bubbled up with laughter. Mercedes loved her hormones. She was so much more nicer and laughed at everything. "It's enticing!"
He flexed. "You know you want me."
She giggled and continued driving to the main part of camp. She parked next to other carts by the main cabin. They all got out and walked inside.
All the campers were gone and they were finishing up closing the camp. They saw Marc, Mike, Mal and Stevie cleaning the main part of the cabin while Laura sat on the stage with Maddie, Stacie and Nic. Quinn was cuddled up with Sam by a wall.
"You guys left me." Puck said.
"We told you we were coming up here to finish cleaning." Mike didn't care. "We needed someone to put away all the gardening tools."
"I just want to moan." Puck shrugged.
"Stop your bellyaching." Marc also didn't care. "I think this is it. We just have to make sure we're packed up. I am. Are you guys?"
"I am." Marcy went to Mal and wrapped her arms around his middle. "You stink, too."
He sniffed his arm. "Yeah, I do. I gotta take a shower."
"I'll go with you. I can wash your back." Mercedes could see the kinkiness in Marcy's eyes from where she was standing.
"Uh oh! Mama, wash my back!" Puck hooked a thumb behind him.
Mercedes smacked his arm. "Go take a shower."
"We all need to." Marc stripped off his shirt. Laura whistled. He flashed her a grin and flexed.
My brother's a mess. Mercedes rolled her eyes.
Fred walked in. "It looks good in here! Thanks, you guys! You're all officially off duty! You can just hang out until the farewell party."
The farewell party was like the Bon Voyage Bonfire that they had with the campers last week but only for counselors and staff. They were all leaving tomorrow so this was the last time they'd see each other for another year.
Mercedes walked over to the stage. "Hey, Nic. Are you ready to go home?"
"I don't want to go home." She pouted. "It's been so much fun here."
"I know but we have to go back to real life."
"I wish I could just stay here. Will you stay with me?"
Mercedes laughed. "Yeah, I'll stay with you."
"Yay."
Laura smiled. "Won't you miss your mom?"
"Oh yeah." She frowned.
Mercedes bit her lip to keep from laughing. "You'll have this experience forever and isn't that just as good as staying here year round?"
"I guess."
"Are you all packed?"
"Yes?"
"Nic, you know it's naughty to lie."
"No." She poked her lip out.
"Come on. We'll pack together." Mercedes held her hand out.
Nic walked off stage and grabbed her hand. "Do you think it'll all fit?"
"Maybe you'll be able to stuff some things in Noah's bags?"
She brightened. "Okay!"
W.O
"I want to talk to you." Mal made sure the door was shut to cabin Snake.
"Why?" Marcy crossed her legs.
"I know you're still mad at me over the whole Ellen thing-"
"Mal!" She groaned, not wanting to talk about it.
"Listen to me." He went to the bed she was sitting on and took her hands. "I love you. I'm in love with you. That's never going to change. And I'm sorry I hurt you."
"Is this because you found out I'm still dating Kenneth?" She raised a brow.
He scowled then forced the expression from his face. "No. I'm making a choice. You gave me one months ago and by refusing to make it, I ended up making the wrong one. I love Ellen. I'm sorry but I do. But I can't live without you."
Her heart shifted. "What are you saying?"
He got down on one knee and took out a ring box. "You're the only one for me. I'll live without every single person on this planet but you. I will never give you up again. I will never betray you again. I will never hurt you again."
Tears gathered in her eyes. "Is this a promise ring or are you proposing?"
"I know you'd feel better if it was a promise ring but it's an engagement ring that comes with a promise. You can trust me." He tried to convey with his eyes how much he meant those words. "I'll always catch you. You're safe with me."
She swallowed thickly, searching his eyes for falsehoods.
"So I'm asking you; will you marry me?"
Her brain said no immediately but she could barely hear it over her heart and soul screaming yes. So she nodded. "Yes."
His eyes widened. He couldn't believe his ears. "What?"
"Yes, I'll marry you." Her lips trembled.
His heart lifted so fast, he thought he was having a heart-attack. But he hurried to put the ring on her finger before she changed her mind. He kissed her.
She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. She held her left hand up to view the ring.
The ring itself was small. It was a slim silver band that was as thin as a keyring. The extravagant part came in the form of the many jewels. It had three layers of gems that would make any girl have a heart-attack.
The huge emerald was nestled in a circle of pear shaped diamonds. It was a circle to fit the band better but also because Marcy had a thing for circles. Beneath the diamonds was a chip of every gem she liked.
Jade, onyx, sapphire, ruby, topaz, rose quartz, diamond, amethyst, abalone, diopside, rhodochrosite, kyanite, rainbow moonstone, agate, labradorite, marcasite, opal, lapis, garnet, lemon quartz, amber, mother of pearl, peridot, whiskey quartz, malachite and citrine in various natural hues.
The band was reinforced so it wouldn't break under the pressure. The jewels were shaped into triangles that stacked atop each other in a pattern to make a band. No two colors or gems were beside each other.
It took years of saving birthday and Christmas money and searching for the gems on top of time spent crafting the ring but it was finally finished.
He leaned back. "How do you feel?"
She took a deep breath. "Could we not tell anybody yet? I just want to concentrate on the twins for a while."
"Yeah, we can be discreet but not for too long. After all this time, it's going to be perfect. It'll just be the four of us. Maybe we can sneak off like Marc and Laura and just do it."
"You don't want a big wedding?" She was surprised and a little hurt. Was he still trying to hide her?
"You don't want a big wedding. I want you happy."
Her heart melted and she gave him a deep kiss.
W.O
Marcus came to pick the kids up from the airport with a small bus. It was still really early and they fell asleep on the flight home. They went right back on the ride home.
They dropped off Puck and Nic first then Laura and Quinn before dropping off the Changs. Marc and Sam helped take their stuff in the house before going around the corner to the Fabrays.
Marcus took the bus back as Marcy and Mercedes unpacked. They met their new housekeeper, Mrs. Gonzales, who was staying in the basement, and talked to her and Mary for a bit before finishing their task.
Then they took naps before freshening up. Quinn, Marcy and Mercedes were going over to Santana's again. She wanted them, Tina and Brittany to come over to hang before school started Monday.
Santana lived two streets over from Quinn so the trio just walked. When they got there, Brittany and Tina were already there. They headed up to Santana's room and sat on her bed.
"Where's Rachel and Lauren?" Marcy asked as Brittany tried to make her comfortable against Santana's pillows.
"I'm not inviting that hobbit to my house anymore." Santana sniffed.
"She's been hanging all over Finn all summer." Brittany added.
"Finn's free to be with whomever he wants." Quinn shrugged.
"We saw you on Facebook with some guy named Kelly." Tina teased.
Quinn smiled smugly. "I was faithful to Sam. Kelly's an old friend. Sam and I really connected this summer."
Marcy moved her eyebrows. "She got it in!"
"No way! You slept with Guppy Lips?! I can't believe it, Tubbers!" Santana almost laughed off the bed.
"I used more protection than "trust me" this time but yeah. Why shouldn't I be happy?" Quinn raised a brow.
Tina and Santana high-fived her. Brittany gave her a big hug. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you."
"Lauren quit glee." Tina said. "She told me when she came back from wrestling camp last week."
"That sucks. We gotta keep in touch with her." Mercedes bit her lip.
"Speaking of keeping in touch with people, Coach wants us back." Santana filed her nails.
"Wants who back for what?!"
"Us. To cheer." She shrugged. "Even you."
"We're not going to do it! Right?! I mean I haven't even cheered in two years!"
"Why not?" Brittany asked.
"She tried to shoot you out of a cannon!" Mercedes spoke precisely.
"I forgive her."
Brittany was nicer than Mercedes felt she herself was. "She's crazy!"
"I started high school a cheerleader, I might as well end high school as a cheerleader." Quinn sighed.
"It'll look good to colleges." Santana pointed out.
"Come on, Mercy. It won't be so bad."
Mercedes sighed. She knew they wouldn't give up until she gave in. "Fine. But I'm joining volleyball again."
"Yes! We're going to dominate the team this year!" Santana fist-pumped. "I remember your spikes!"
Mercedes smiled smugly. She was a good player. "When do we get our uniforms?"
"For Sue? Today."
"What time?"
Santana checked her phone. "About an hour."
"Show us some of your cheers." Marcy demanded.
Tina bounced on the bed. "Yeah. Show us some of your cheers."
So they did. They clapped like it was the best performance ever.
"I got news." Santana went to her door and looked out before coming back. "Gomez has a girlfriend!"
They all laughed. "Go Gomez!"
Gomez was Santana's thirteen year old brother. He was insanely cute and already a flirt. He was just like Santana.
"You'd never believe who it is!" Brittany gossiped.
"Who is it?!" Tina was a gossip to her heart. Though Mercedes really couldn't cast stones…
"Lila!"
"Lila? RT's little sister, Lila?" Marcy scrunched her nose.
"Oh yeah." Santana grinned.
Tina literally fell off the bed laughing. "Lila likes a Lopez?!"
"Artie has a little sister?" Quinn raised a brow.
"Yeah. She's thirteen now, isn't she?" Mercedes looked to Tina, who was pulling herself up. Tina nodded. "She is the most amazing kid. She's just like Artie. Same blue eyes and brown hair and just as ghetto."
"Don't talk about my future sister-in-law!" Santana sassed.
"Lila's not ghetto. *Tana's* ghetto. Lila's as sassy as Mercy. Girl got a mouth on her." Marcy corrected.
"Lila will get you." Tina wiped away tears.
"I can't believe Lila is dating Gomez." Mercedes said slowly. "It's so cute!"
Santana laughed. "My mom is over the moon for it. My dad is so proud."
"Artie's not too happy." Brittany told them. "He thinks she's too young to date and made it so his parents said that they can't go anywhere without us and he watches him like a hawk."
"Ugh! RT is like my brothers. They wouldn't let Maddie out of their sight!" Marcy rolled her eyes.
Quinn pursed her lips. "If they didn't like Sam so much, they would have been all over him. They still followed us everywhere."
"Brothers are a mess." Mercedes waved a hand. "Just distract Artie and Lila and Gomez will have alone time like Maddie did with Jeff."
"And Cary." Marcy grinned.
"I was wondering why she had three friendship bracelets!" Quinn laughed. "You talked her into dating Cary, too?!"
"I had to! He was drooling over her! Stevie's going to have to step his game up."
"Yes!" Mercedes laughed. "You know I got a bracelet from Trevor."
"Trevor Meyers?!"
"Yeah."
"Figures!" Marcy threw up her hands.
"Who's Trevor Meyers?" Brittany asked.
"He's the shyest kid at camp." Quinn told. "He doesn't talk to anybody but Mercy."
"Puck has been glaring at him for weeks. I guess now I know why." Marcy elbowed Mercedes.
"Yeah! Let's talk about you and Puckerman DTRing!" Santana launched herself at Mercedes.
Mercedes held her so they wouldn't fall over in a heap on the floor. "What about us?"
"I saw that comin a mile away."
Mercedes frowned. *So she saw Noah's feelings, too? How blind was I?* "We're doing good, bad girl."
"I just want to know if you're gettin it in." She sat up.
Mercedes blushed. "That's none of your business!"
"That means yes!" Brittany clapped.
"Britt!"
"Sorry, Cedes." She wasn't sorry…
Tina frowned. "Marcy, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Marcy rubbed her stomach.
"Marcy, is that true?" Tina faced her.
"Yes!"
"Are you in labor?" Quinn demanded.
"Maybe." She sulked.
"Marcy, we have to get you to the hospital!" Tina panicked.
"Marcy!" Mercedes snapped.
"Don't yell at me! I'm pregnant!" She waved her hands.
"Not for much longer!" Tina looked her over. "How far apart are your contractions?!"
She lifted a shoulder. "A couple minutes."
"Come on!" Tina tried to drag her carefully.
Brittany grabbed her other arm. "I can't believe you weren't going to say anything!"
"Stop dragging me! I can walk!" Marcy bent over suddenly. "Ow!"
The girls panicked. That was the only way to describe it. They rushed Marcy out of Santana's room and down the steps.
"Put me down! I'm not an invalid!" Marcy pouted.
"I don't think my car will fit us all." Santana threw open the front door.
"I gotta go home for my bag anyway." Marcy rolled her eyes
"Patti!"
"I can drive myself!" She left the house and began walking.
"Mal's right! She's impossible!" Quinn threw up her hands.
"We should go before she leaves us." Tina trailed behind the pregnant teen.
So they followed Marcy all the way to the Joneses. Mercedes went inside to tell adults what was going on while Marcy grabbed her bag. Then Marcy got in her car.
She waited for everyone to get in then drove to the hospital. She went the speed limit and everything. And she didn't go to the first hospital either. She went to the best one in the Adjacent.
Then she found a place to park in the parking lot!
They got out of the car and they tried to hurry her along but she only opened the trunk. "I need my bag."
"What is this bag?!" Santana was losing it.
"Every expectant mother should pack a bag at six months." Marcy winced.
Santana grabbed the bag from her. "Let's go!"
Marcy waddled to the emergency, stopping every two steps as a pang hit her.
Tina wanted to go ahead and prepare them for her but she didn't want to leave her with the girls, who were clearly having mental breakdowns.
They got to the doors and a security officer walked from behind a booth. "Need the emergency?"
"She's having babies!" Santana screeched.
The security guard laughed. "Congrats!" He pointed straight. "Just go on through and they'll help you."
Tina thanked him and walked Marcy through. They went to the window. "She's in labor."
The nurse smiled and popped up. "I need a wheelchair!"
Someone appeared out of thin air with a wheelchair.
The nurse set Marcy in it and gave Tina a clipboard. "Fill this out. We'll get her to a room."
Tina gave the clipboard to Quinn. "I'll wait down here for Mike. Just text me the room number."
She nodded and ran after the nurse pushing Marcy.
W.O
Mike went down the hallway to the elevator then punched the button to go to the third floor. He fidgeted on the lift until he was able to get out then he took off trying to find the right wing.
He got to room 316. Tina was talking to Marcy while Santana looked like she needed a hug. Brittany was trying to comfort her as Mercedes and Quinn were on Marcy's sides.
He went to Marcy. "How are you?"
"I'm fine." She smiled. "These contractions hurt but I'm fine. Oof!"
Mercedes held her hand. "Squeeze when it hurts."
"I'm okay." She rubbed her stomach.
"You're a lot better than me." Quinn blew out a breath. "I was a mess."
"Did you get the drugs?" Mike asked as he lifted Tina out of her seat and took her spot. She glared at him before he tugged her onto his lap.
"No!" Marcy's eyes widened. "Did you know it was a needle?!"
Mike laughed. "So what?"
"That fucker was huge! They ain't stickin me in my spine with a huge ass needle!"
Mercedes bubbled up with laughter. "But it lessens your pain."
"Fuck that!" The old Marcy showed through.
Tina giggled up a storm. "You should have seen when they brought it in. They said she was so far along that they had to give it to her right that minute or not at all and she's like "Not at effing all!". It was too hilarious!"
Quinn giggled. "I didn't want it either. It scared me."
"Why are you so far along?" Mike asked.
Marcy grew quiet.
"Marcy, why are you so far along?" He pressed.
"She didn't tell anyone her water broke this morning." Tina snitched.
"Marcy!" Mike glared.
She pouted. "I didn't have to tell. Where's Mal anyway?"
"Don't you change the subject! That was dangerous!" He ranted.
She cuddled into Quinn. "Don't yell at me! I'm pregnant!"
"What would you have done if you'd had delivered in the air or something?"
"I was going to come to the hospital."
"When?" Mike taunted.
"When I was finished with my day. I have that right."
Mercedes facepalmed. She is so stubborn! She gets it from Mikey. "I quit."
"Good. Where's everyone else?"
"Our parents are on their way. They have to pick up Maddie." Quinn said.
"Marc and Laura are on their way." Mike went on. "I called Mal but he didn't answer."
"I'm not having these babies until he gets here." Marcy crossed her legs.
Mercedes couldn't blame her.
W.O
It had been an hour and Mal finally made it. He said he'd turned his phone off while he with a friend and he was super sorry.
The doctor came in and checked Marcy. He was very attractive. He was in his early thirties and very handsome. Each girl couldn't help but arch their back when he came in the room.
The doctor put down the covers. "You're fully dilated! We can start! Ready?"
"Totally." Marcy moaned.
"Okay, you can have six people in here but everyone else has to leave."
"Come on, Mad." Marc picked her up.
"I wanna see!" Maddie hung over his shoulder.
"Not yet you don't!" Michael got to his feet.
"Who do you want to stay with you?" Judy asked.
"Mrs. C, Ms. Judy, Laura, Mercy, Quinn and of course, Mal." Marcy listed.
Mercedes was so happy to be chosen. "Yay!"
Everyone else left and went to the waiting room.
The doctor and his nurses washed up and prepped while the rest of them surrounded Marcy in protective gear.
Mal, Jeanette and Laura were on Marcy's right. Judy, Mercedes and Quinn were on her left. Mal took her hand. "Just squeeze."
She clamped onto his hand.
"Okay, that's a little strong."
She squeezed his hand and glared at him.
He smiled. "But it's okay."
"Okay, Marceline Anne! Ready to push?!" The doctor put her feet in stirrups.
"Yes! Get these kids outta me!" She shouted.
He slid her down. "Whenever you're ready, start pushing."
Marcy clutched Mal's hand and pushed. Her mouth opened.
W.Oish
Puck raised an eyebrow. Was somebody screaming? Was that Marcy? He sat up straight as other people heard it.
That was Marcy. She was hitting high notes that only dogs could hear. But it sounded like words.
He concentrated and could make out a few. And they were bad.
"Sounds just like her mother." Marcus smirked.
"Sounds like Jeanette." Michael snickered. "She did not like me when giving birth."
They were laughing while Marcy was cursing out Mal! And she was cursing him out! She was mixing English with other languages but the general gist was that he was an asshole and he was never touching her again.
Other people in the waiting room were laughing.
Puck wanted to laugh, too but he remembered Quinn telling him how much he sucked and he knew Mal probably had hurt feelings.
All of a sudden, it was quiet. Did she run out of insults?
"Either that baby was born or she took a breath." Michael chuckled.
Marcus laughed.
W.Oish
Marcy breathed deeply as the baby slid out of her body. "Please tell me it's over!"
The girls giggled. "The first baby is out."
Mal, who had his lip stuck out, sulked. "At least it's over."
"Half over." Jeanette reminded him.
"Want to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asked.
Mal nodded and walked down to the end of the bed. His eyes widened. "It's a baby!"
Jeanette smiled. "It's your baby."
Mal was ready to fall over. He had a hard time holding the scissors a nurse handed him. His mom had to help him cut the cord.
"Now we have to clean him off and take down his stats." Another nurse said. "Then you can hold him."
Mal nodded.
Marcy nearly sat up. "Ow!"
Jeanette pushed Mal to the head of the bed. "Take her hand! This isn't over yet!"
W.Oish
She must be pushin out the other kid cuz Mini Mama is cussin like a man! Puck blew out a breath.
Marcus and Michael were laughing their asses off. Marc and Mike were right behind them.
They ain't loyal worth a damn!
W.Oish
"She's out!" The doctor declared.
Marcy laid back and breathed deeply.
Mal stared at his hand. "You broke my hand! You broke my hand!"
"Be glad she isn't making good on the threat to break your penis." Quinn giggled.
He looked distraught. "I'm never getting her pregnant again!"
Jeanette laughed. "Sure."
"Are you ready to hold your son?" A nurse asked.
Mal nodded. She handed him over gently. Mal bounced him slightly. "Wow."
"He's so beautiful." Jeanette cried.
"He is!" Laura was right behind her.
Mal leaned over carefully. "Look what we did, Marce."
Marcy pushed him away gently. "Don't put him in my face while some dude's in my fun box."
Mal straightened.
"I want to see!" Mercedes demanded.
Mal struggled to show off his son. "Aren't you glad we're not giving them up?"
"You're giving them up?" A nurse asked.
Mal leaned away with a glare. "No!"
"No, we're keeping them." Laura said.
Mercedes smiled at her nephew. He was really cute. He had the lightest skin. He was even lighter than high yellow Marc. His eyes were the same shade as Mal's and his hair was as black as his mom's. "We need names, Marcy."
"They already have names." Marcy let Dr. Hotness clean her.
"What?!" Judy put her hands on her hips. "When did you decide on names?!"
"Before I even knew there was two of them."
They glared at her. "So you've been putting us on for months?!"
"It was funny."
Mercedes slapped her leg. Boy, that felt good! "You're naughty!"
Marcy grinned then grimaced. "That's so gross."
"It's natural." Dr. Good Looking told her. "It's just afterbirth."
Marcy bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"So what are the names?!" Judy clapped her hands.
"Malcolm Jr. and Mikaela."
The women gasped.
"Really?" Mal looked at her.
She nodded but didn't look at him.
"Can I see Malcolm Jr.?" Mercedes sniffed.
"Your daughter is ready." A nurse said.
Mal handed Malcolm Jr. to Mercedes and took his daughter.
Mercedes looked into the baby's face and he looked back at her. He scrunched his little face and made growling noises. It was super adorable. "What about their middle names?"
Marcy shrugged.
"What about Emi for her?" Laura touched Mikaela's cheek.
"Nice name to live up to."
Mercedes grew excited. "I've always loved the name Antonio!"
"So cute!" Quinn ran a hand over his head. "His hair is so soft!"
"Antonio's a nice name." Marcy nodded.
"Okay, you're good." Dr. Sexy patted the bed after covering Marcy.
Marcy sat up. "Thanks."
"You'll have to be moved soon. The babies will need their shots and they'll be put in the nursery but when we get you situated in a new room, we'll bring them back to you."
"Thank you." Marcy nodded.
He and the nurses left.
Mercedes smirked at Marcy. "Want to hold him now?"
"Gimme my kid." She deadpanned softly.
Mercedes handed Malcolm Jr. to Judy. She snuggled him before giving him to his mother. Eek! My baby sister is a mother!
Marcy cradled Malcolm Jr. to her chest and he settled down. She took this big breath and let it out with a tiny frown as she stared at him. Everything narrowed down to this moment.
"What's wrong?" Mercedes asked.
She shook her head, overcome with emotion.
Jeanette took Mikaela from Mal and gave her to Laura. "You need to get your hand checked out."
Mal looked down at it. "Yeah."
W.O
Puck was playing cards with Marc, Artie and Mike when Mercedes walked in the waiting room. "They're here!"
A cheer went up.
"They changed her room so follow me."
Marc put up the cards while they all grabbed their stuff and followed Mercedes. Puck grabbed her hand on the way. "Sorry I freaked out when I got here."
"It's okay. Last time was a bit traumatic." She squeezed his hand.
He smiled. They made it to the room and saw Marcy resting in bed. He went up to her. "Tired?"
"So much." She watched her children.
"What's up, nephew?!" Mike touched the baby in Laura's arms.
"What's her name?" Tina asked in hushed tones, nodding to the baby in Quinn's arms.
"Mikaela Emi Chang." Marcy said proudly. "We'll call her Mickey."
"What about him?" Marc gestured to the baby in his wife's arms.
"Malcolm Antonio Chang Jr. We'll call him Mally."
"Malcolm Jr.?" Michael rubbed his chin with a grin before he frowned. "Where's Malcolm Sr.?"
Marcy pursed her lips.
"Marcy broke his hand." Quinn giggled.
"He should have hurt feelings." Artie quipped.
"Sweetpea, you owe a lot of money to the swear jar." Marcus smirked.
"It hurt, Daddy." Marcy blinked.
"I know." He hid a smile.
A nurse came in and waded past people. "Would you like to order now?"
"Order?" Marcy looked at her like she wasn't speaking any language she knew.
"You must be hungry. What would you like to eat?" She handed her a menu.
Marcy looked it over. "The grilled chicken caesar salad with fries, apple slices and root beer."
"You don't need root beer!" Judy was shocked.
"Please?!"
Marcus sighed. "Just this once."
"Yay!" Marcy took it and ran with it. "Root beer please!"
Mercedes tugged on Puck's hand. "Aren't they the cutest?"
"I haven't seen them yet." He shrugged.
Mercedes tugged him to Mickey. "Meet Mickey."
He leaned over and saw the baby was the color of Santana with light brown hair. Then he saw her eyes and almost fell out. She had green eyes like her momma. They weren't as dark though. They looked like Quinn's eyes. "Whoa!"
"It's her eyes." Mercedes grinned.
"I can't believe it."
"Now we have five green eyed people in the family."
W.O
They stayed at the hospital for a long time but then Marcy said everybody had to leave so her children could rest without people looking at them.
Puck thought she was just tired…
Marcus and Jeanette were staying at the hospital with Mal and Marcy while everyone else had to go home.
Puck took Mercedes home. She let him in then packed a bag.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't want to stay here alone." She zipped up her Cheerios bag.
"I'll stay with you."
"Marc might bring Laura back here."
"I can sleep on the couch." It didn't make no difference to him.
"You don't want to hold me?" Her eyes widened and he fell into those chocolatey orbs.
"I want you in my bed." He nodded.
"Good." She gave him the bag and walked out.
He followed her all the way outside and to his truck. He opened the door and handed her inside and put her bag in the back before going around to climb in. "Nic's at a sleepover and my moms is at work. We'll have the whole house to ourselves."
"Yay." She leaned over to kiss him.
He had a smile on his face all the way home.
