-Chapter 84-Weekend trips part 2-
-Madison pov-
When you're in a relationship with multiple there are things you get used to. One is that someone may get jealous, another is you may forget something small, and another is you never know which arms you'll wake up in. Now that last one is a minor thing. It's minor until you wake up in unfamiliar arms.
"Shelby?" I poke the slightly snoring woman in front of me "Shelby"
"What?" She turns slightly and looks confused "Uhhh"
"Why are you two whisper talking?" Judy leans over Shelby then bug eyes "Oh"
"Who is it?" They share a look then look back at me "What?!"
"Is!" Our whispering is done when Emma jumps onto us knocking whoever it was off and Judy off as well "Is!"
"It's too early Em" I give her a forehead kiss "What's going on?"
"Well by the smile someone needs changed" It finally clicks in my head who was holding onto me seeing my girls in front of me "Welcome to the party"
"Why do I hurt so bad?" We all look at Maribel who's laying on the ground "And why am I over here?"
There's laughing form outside the door and I groan. I get up and open the door quickly. There's screams from the girls and more laughter from the adults. I look back at my fiancé's and Maribel who are confused. I look back at the guiltily part and cross my arms.
"So" I look at the girls "Who's idea was this?"
"MAMAW MAR!"
"Hey!" Mary pouts and looks at me "I have a group of sell outs!"
"They are being good kids" I look back at them and see they are sitting on the ground "Go and find Pamela or sugar"
The girls quickly crawl away and I force the parents into the room. They look kinda confused as I lock the door behind us. I cross my arms, still angry, and glare at them.
"Can we understand what's wrong?" My mom honestly looks super confused "Aren't you all together?"
"I'm not with them" Maribel looks at the ground and clasps her hands together "I've had some issues and I'm the reason one of the girls are the way they are"
"Plus" Shelby sits up on the bed "I already had a plan going on! I told you to stay out of it mom!"
"Your plan sucks at best and is manipulative at worst" Mary looks at Maribel "Would you hurt thaws girls or our granddaughters?"
"NEVER!" Maribels facial expression is serious and loving "I've fallen in love with those girls! They make waking up worth it now!"
"We are going with my plan" Mary walks past me and unlocks the door "Breakfast is ready"
"I'll get the water bottles cold" Donald sighs and starts walking to the door "This can only lead to one thing"
-Time skip-
"We are doing kids vs adults!" Our parents are standing in between the kids and us in the campground activities area "First up is an important question!"
"Do I have to Mary?" My mom looks at Mary who nods and then looks at her card "Who is up for fully giving Maribel a date?"
The only hands that go up are Judy, Shelby, and mine. Emma doesn't raises her hand and Maribels frowns. I honestly wasn't expecting that.
"Alright then" Mary claps and we all look at her "Maribel and Emma will be the last adult team"
"Question for the kids" My dad looks at his card "Who's not ready for Maribel to be like a mom?"
Grace, Samantha, Fran, Rachel, Sugar, Pamela, and Brittany raise their hands. Lucy and Santana look away from our area. I look at Maribel and see her heart shatter. It's almost like you could hear it happen.
"Santana and Lucy will be the other last team" Donald puts his hand in hat and comes out with four papers "Rachel and Pamela versus...Madison and Shelby!"
I slowly walk over with Shelby and stand at the white line. This could go one of two ways. I feel rope get wrapped around our legs and sigh. So it's going this way.
"First time to cross the white line gets a point!" I look at Mary who's just smiling "It's a simple game"
I shake my head and get ready. We get a countdown and run. We take off and do pretty well until my ankle cramps. I fall down and drag Shelby with me as the other two cross the line. They cheer and I sigh then rub my ankle.
"You ok?" I look at Shelby as she undoes our rope "You're rubbing your ankle"
"I'll be fine" We both stand up and I limp to the moms "What's next?"
"Bow shooting" All of us moms look at my dad and he throws his hands up "The grandmas said it was ok!"
"The teams are" Mary reaches in the hat and pull out four papers "3 on 1! Pamela, Brittany, and Samantha! You three will be taking on...Judy!"
"I've got this" Pamela smirks "Let's let the old lady go first"
"Why thank you" Judy picks up a bow and fumbles with it "My old hands are so bad"
Soon after she says that the arrow is in position and then hitting the target. The girls mouths drop and Judy smirks. She hands the bow to Pamela who gulps. She misses by a few inches and so does Samantha. Brittany is able to just barely hit beside Judys.
"Tie breaker!" My dad tosses a quarter up "Call!"
"Heads!" It lands and Judy smiles "Brittany can go first...my old hands need a rest"
Brittany glares at Pamela and picks up the bow. She gets the arrow on it and lines up the shot. She hits dead on the target and smiles. Judy would have to split it to win!
"You're good" Judy grabs the bow and already has the arrow on it "But I'm better"
She shoots and it hits Brittanys arrow. Judy misses the center but she does cause Brittanys to fall. Brittany pouts as Judy cheers. I'm never getting on her bad side again.
"Points tied into the final game" Mary smiles wide "Maribel! Pick a number between one and five!"
"Uhhh" She looks at me and I shrug "three?"
"Fire start!" Maribel and Emma's faces drop "Come over campers!"
-Maribel pov-
What's the point of this? Emma doesn't like me and my own daughter doesn't wanna think of me as a mom truly. I thought we were doing fine! What went wrong? Did I do something wrong?
"Alright your objective is simple!" The man named...Donald! Points to our supplies "You have ten minutes to start a fire using what you have in front of you! Your time starts...NOW!"
I sit down beside Emma and start picking up the rocks. I look for the flint and see her looking at it oddly. I go to reach for it but stop. She's not gonna want my help. Maybe I should just let her do what she wants.
"What are you doing just holding the rocks?" I look at her confused "Holding rocks won't start a fire!"
"Why are you angry?!" I close my eyes and take a deep breath "I'm sorry...I'm sorry"
"Just hand me the rocks" I move them away and she growls "Hand me the rocks!"
"Have you ever started a fire before?" She doesn't answer and just looks away "I have to survive...hand me the flint in your hand"
"I'm scared" What is she taking about? "So is Santana"
"What is Santana scared about?" She doesn't look at me and I put down the rocks "Emma? What are you two sacred about?"
"She's scared you'll leave again or hate her" Emma sighs and puts the flint down "I'm scared you'll hate me"
"I won't and don't hate you" I put her hands in mine and smile "You could've not told them...you could've just acted like I didn't say anything at all! But you told them I was going to get better and opened the door for me to be here! I owe you!"
"Ow!" We both quickly look and see Santana holding her hand "Ire!"
"San!" I run over with Emma as everyone else realizes what happened "Are you ok baby girl?"
"Now you care" I look at Lucy hurt and she rolls her eyes "You left her to get beat for years"
"Lucy Quinn Fabray!" Lucy shrinks at Emma's yelling "You apologize right now!"
"It's fine" I look down at Lucy and give a small smile "I left crazily thinking he'd get better for her without me...I was wrong and I can never forgive myself for that...I went to get better for her myself and have gone down a long road to get back here! I'll travel a long road to prove to you I'm a better person too"
After saying that I pick up Santana and walk to the cabins. Need to get this burn taken care of. Santana is top priority right now.
-Time skip-
It's later in the day when I see Lucy again. She's in a onesie and crawl to me. She's holding a small book and holds it up to me. I slowly take it and then pick her up. I look at the book and smile.
"Sam I am" I look at her and point to the book "Is this your favorite? It's mine too if it is"
She nods and I open it. She cuddles into me and I start to read. Before the end of the story I have all the little ones around me listening. I finish and smile when I see them asleep. I hear footsteps and see Shelby standing close by.
"She doesn't let many people read that book to her" Shelby points over to a sowing Judy "Usually only her...I think that's a way of apologizing to you"
"What do you think my chances are?" Shelby looks at me confused "Of the foursome becoming a fivesome? I mean I don't have to be engaged with you all!"
"You're chances are high" Shelby smiles wide "Emma came around some after the fire stuff"
"Just keep showing you're gonna stay" Maribel picks up Abby and Beth "It'll show them you mean what you said"
"I don't plan on leaving anytime soon" I look down at Santana on my right side "I finally have her back and I'm not gonna lose her again"
"She's a special one" Shelby chuckles and I look up to see love in her eyes as she looks at Santana "She's the glue of their relationship for sure"
"I think it's Brittany" I look at her confused "They are all whipped by Brittany"
"You could say the same about Rachel" Judy brings over her sowing stuff closer to us "Where are the parents?"
"Making hot cocoa!" Mary sighs with a smile as she looks at the sleeping kids and Emma "All tuckered out huh?"
"I've really enjoyed all of this" I slowly extract myself from the sleeping group and walk to them "How's tomorrow gonna go?"
"I think we can all take one day off" Madison she's Beth and Abby down in the pack-in-play "Just don't get too used to it!"
"I think we can" Judy holds up Shelbys purse "I found a bunch of money in here...now anyone wanna explain why?"
"The school board finally accepted my raise" Judy looks shocked and Shelby nods "A nationals win means we wouldn't have to worry about New York"
"New York" Janine sits down with a frown "Right"
"We'll be back to visit mom" Madison walks over and puts a hand on her shoulder "We just wanna moves as a family there"
"What about Sugar, Pamela, Samantha, and Grace?" The moms share a look that I can easily figure out. They haven't thought about that "You have more kids to think about"
"Yeah we do" Shelby looks at the sleeping group and sighs "Back to the drawing board huh?"
