-Chapter 83-Weekend Trips part 1-
-Shelby pov-
"Alright!" I clap and make everyone jump from their seats "Lets get a move on!"
"Where are we going?" Lucy runs her tired eyes and pouts "I ant t ay!"
"You will be able to play where we are going" I grab the keys and walk to the garage door "This is the first surprise!"
I open the door to reveal two minivans "Wow" Judy walks up to me with a obviously forced smile "Can we talk about how much we love these?"
"Get in girls" I walk into the house with the moms "What?"
"We are low on money and you buy minivans?!" I see Maribel shift slightly in my peripheral "You have to be absolutely crazy to do this"
"We~"
"Well I am crazy" I smile and hold up one of the sets of keys "You know you wanna drive my crazy buy"
"This isn't over" Judy takes a key and walks back into the garage "Car seats better be buckled"
"We gonna tell you the school board fully signed of on your bonuses?" I look at Madison and shake my head no "Why?"
"Cause I bought these" Madison and Emma look at her shocked "I just wanted to help not cause problems"
"She'll get over it" I put a hand on Maribels shoulder and smile "Why don't you two ride together?"
"Shelby?" I look at Madison who doesn't look amused "I'll ride with Judy"
"Alright" I put my hands up in surrender as she wasn't away "Glad to know I have the power of manipulation"
"What?" I smile at Emma and she looks at me confused "What did you do?"
-Time skip- Judy pov-
It's been a quiet drive following behind Shelby. I have to admit this minivan is pretty nice. I have Pamela, Sugar, Samantha...
"Son of a bitch!" All of the girls look at me confused "Shelby messed with us!"
"What do you mean?" Madison looks completely confused "What's been messed with?"
"We don't have a single little one in here" I motion to the back "We have everyone who usually stays a bit away from each other and or once had problems!"
"But I'm with you and Pamela is with Fran and sugar" Madison looks at the girls then me "I'm still not getting it"
"I am" Samantha sighs "Someone still has issue in here and someone has issues in that van ahead of us"
"No one has fucking issues!" I'm met by raised eyebrows and I sigh "Fine I have some issues"
"With who?" I don't look at Madison or answer "Is it sugar? Pamela?...it's all of us?!"
"Samantha hurt Lucy, Pamela hurt the girls and just comes into Frans life, Sugar reminds me of young immature me, and you" I look at her and sigh "I'm scared ok?! You scare me!"
"Why?" Madison points at our ring "Does this just mean settling?"
"No" I look at the road ahead and frown "It means I'm scared that I won't be good enough for you though"
"What?" I still don't look at Madison as we approach a stop light "Why wouldn't you be good enough for me? I thought we went through all of this already"
"You're a beautiful woman and I'm scared you'll notice my older and less...attractive body finally" I sigh and push the gas as the light turns green "I feel like you'll leave me and the girls will join you"
"We all love you Judy" Madison grabs my free hand and I see her smiling at me from the rearview "I love you"
"I love you" I sigh and pull into a gas station lot then stop the car "Pam...you're next"
-Shelby pov-
"Shouldn't we stop too?" I nod and get turned around to pull into the gas station "This wasn't part of the plan huh?"
"No they were supposed to go to the destination and talk on the way" I sigh and pull next to them "I'll check on them"
I get out and knock on Madison's window. It gets lowered and I hear crying in the back. I look at Judy who has tears in her eyes too. I look at Madison confused and worried.
"What happened?" She gives me a smile "What?"
"You're plans working" I smile and we both look at Judy "Keep going babe"
"I wanna love you more Pamela and I do love you" Judy takes a deep breath before going on "I just...I just see what happened that day and I'm still nervous that you'll take the girls away and be their mom"
"I don't wanna take them away" Pamela lets some tears fall as she talks "I just wanna help you all like you helped me...I just wanna be with Fran and sugar! Maybe Fran will rely on me some more but that's cause we are together! I'm never gonna try replacing her mom"
"I'll work on the jealousy" Judy turns some toward sugar "You don't hurt my baby or her if you get bored ok? I was like you believe it or not...I hurt some people that I loved and loved me"
"I wouldn't dream of hurting them Judy" Sugar pulls Pamela close to her "I love them"
"I guess that leaves me right?" We all look at Sam who's nervously playing with her hands "What do you got off me?"
"You hurt Lucy bad" Judy closes her eyes and stays calm "I will help you the best I can...but I just see those broken glasses and the broken expression"
"I understand" Sam sighs and looks at the floor of the van "You hate me and I deserve it"
"I don't hate you" She looks up confused and Judy opens her eyes "I'm actually enjoying you and grace in the house...I just have to tell you all of that...right Shelby?"
"Who wants to switch vans?" The door opens and soon Grace is with Sam and Fran is between Sugar and Pamela "Lets get back on the road huh?"
"Hows the girls doing?" I look in the van to see Santana, Lucy, and Brittany playing "They having any panic attacks?"
"Not yet" I look back at Judy "I'll pull over if they do"
"Still not telling us where we are going huh?" I shake my head no with a smirk "Fine! Lead the way captain"
-Time skip-Madison pov-
We pull up to a weird looking campground. There's three log cabins and I am so confused. I feel my eyes go wide and my skin color drain. What's going on?
"I'm gonna kill her" Judy parks the van and I runat Shelbys van "IM GONNA KILL YOU!"
"They wanted to see everyone and I figured this would be a good way!" Shelby smiles "Welcome to J and J campground"
"It's more of a cabin place" My dad and Donald walk over holding hammers "Hey baby girl"
"Hi dad" I look behind them to see mom laughing "You made the choice didn't you?"
"Shelby is a sweet girl" Mom walks up to me and punches my cheeks "And you're my sweet little doll face!l
"I hate this place mom" she glares and I sigh "But I'll smile for the family"
"Actually" Shelby holds a microphone out to me and I notice speakers up "This is how we are staying for free"
"I officially hate you all" I sigh and grab the microphone as everyone cheers "I'm a bit scratchy voiced"
"You'll do great babe" Judy nudges my arm with a smile "Maybe you can get lucky later"
I blush as everyone laughs. They all stand ready for me to sing and I take a deep breath. My voice isn't as nice as there's but it's ok.
-Madison singing-
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
As I start singing everyone smiles wide. I know I don't sound as good but this is my chance to show them I am sing.
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
The girls are dancing and the grand parents are laughing now. I can't help but smile as I sing. Everyone is enjoying themselves.
Little darling, the smile's returning to their faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Just get ready for the end Maribel. You're so close to it. Just bring it home!
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Here comes the sun, do, dun, do, do
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right
"That was amazing!" Judy jumps at me and embraces me "You sound wonderful!"
"Wonderful you say?" Shelby smirks and I hand the microphone to Judy "Why don't you show us how wonderful the world is?"
"I hate all of you" She glares at me "You're not getting lucky now"
"I think I just did" I take her spot beside Shelby "Sing baby!"
-Judy singing-
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're really saying, I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
We all clap at her attempt at singing and she bows. We all laugh and head inside the main cabin. There high chairs and food set up already. Mary smiles wide and motion to all of it.
"I may have gone overboard" She shrugs and smiles "Buy it's for family and I know the little ones need to eat"
"Nana!" Santana crawls over to her and makes grabby hands "Up! Up!"
"Hey there little girl" she picks her up with ease "How's Santana doing?"
"I ood" She points to the food "I eat?"
"Yes you can eat" Mary sits Santana down and motions for us all to join "Come on don't let the food get cold"
We all sit down and enjoy a nice family meal. I will admit it was nice to be together. I wish we could do it more often now. It's great seeing everyone's smile. I really do love this family.
-Time skip-
Us moms finally got situated in bed after taking care of the girls. Emma is currently feeding on the way to sleep and I'm reading a book. Judy is currently doing yoga by the bed and humming a lot. It's really annoying but we've learned to ignore it.
"Uhh girls?" I look up and see a nervous Maribel in the door way "Th-there was alcohol in my mini fridge and I'm scared to touch it"
"I can get it tomorrow" I point to the extra bed in the room "You can't just take that bed"
"A-are you sure?" She points to the right "I think there's a room down that way...I shouldn't have come in"
"It's fine Maribel" Shelbys smiles and I notice Maribel calm down "Take the bed"
She looks at the ground and walks to the bed. We all smile as she lays down and slowly goes to sleep. We've had her air mattressed in our room while she finds a bed. I think she just wants to be with us.
To be honest I think we wanna have her here too.
