"When I gave you guys the keys to my apartment, it was supposed to be for emergency use only." Mary said dryly, sitting at the kitchen table with Dean on her lap.
Neither of her parents looked chagrined in the least as they put things away.
"This was an emergency." her dad, Samuel, told her, holding up a bag of apples. "You had no more apples, how can you allow that to happen?"
"And you don't have anymore of those little tomatoes that you like to snack on." her mom, Deanna, added as she put cans of whatever kind of food into the cabinets. "And we can't let that happen."
She wasn't going to admit it, but it was a bit of a relief to see her fridge and cabinets filled and having her parents around made her feel just a bit more at ease.
"And besides." Deanna said, putting the bags away and coming over to pluck Dean off of her lap and nuzzle at him much to his delight. "We wanted to see our little grandchild."
Samuel was smiling as he joined him, reaching out to ruffle Deans short hair. "Looks a lot like you, more and more each day." he said and Mary had to smirk slightly. She knew that her dad was betting on Dean looking like his father which would hopefully give him a clue to whoever impregnated her.
But Dean looked too much like her and she was kinda hoping for the same with the next one. Though she had a feeling that that wasn't going to happen.
Her parents shared a look and before Mary could protest Deanna quickly scurried out of the room holding Dean, loudly exclaiming that she wanted to see what new things Dean had painted and colored.
"My baby." Mary said, a little bit alarmed and starting to get up. Samuel gently pulled her back into her seat and went to one of the bags. He handed her a smoothie that one of them made and with a sullen look Mary settled back and slowly drank it, smiling at the taste of strawberries and blueberries.
Samuel took a smoothie of his own and sat in the other chair, watching her as they slowly drank together. Once the glasses were empty he took them to the sink and sat down once more, reaching out to take her hand in his.
"Mary." he said softly and despite it, Mary tensed up, she already didn't like where this was going. "We need to talk."
"About what?" she asked, trying to relax, if not for her then for the baby. The kid didn't need this additional stress.
"About...everything." Samuel told her. "Your situation, the children, all of it."
"Dad I'm fine." Mary tried to assure him.
"You're fine now, but it's going to get harder." Samuel said, shrugging. "Dean is an angel, we adore him too, but he's still a child and now you're going to have an infant soon. Your mom and I, we just want to help."
"You're helping enough." Mary told him. "And I can take care of it, yeah it's a bit hard but I can do it."
"But there's no shame in getting a bit extra help." Samuel said. He gave a small sigh. "And since the father, you're sure that the father is the same for both of them?"
Mary just shot him a look, narrowing her eyes. "I know myself enough." she told him tensely. "I know who I'm sleeping around with."
"Okay, good." Samuel said, nodding. "Can I ask you a few things? Honestly?" he waited for her to nod as well. "Does the father know about them?"
"Yes." Mary said shortly.
"Has he offered to help you?"
"Yes."
"Has he offered to raise them or marry you?"
"Yes."
"And you're the one saying no."
"Yes."
Samuel didn't look pleased but he nodded, thinking to himself. "Is there a specific reason you said no to him?" he asked.
"Yes." Mary said, tapping her fingers against the side of the chair. "And I'm not getting into those reasons."
"Fine, that's up to you." Samuel said, entwining his fingers on his lap. "Mary, I want to give you some offers and I want you to really think about them."
"Depends on what you're going to offer me." Mary said simply, shrugging.
"Well first of, you move back home, the three of you." he nodded at her stomach. "That way your mom and I are always going to be at home and someone can always watch the kids. There'll be food in the kitchen and things will be taken care of."
"I don't want to move back in." Mary told him, fidgeting in her seat, wrapping an arm around her stomach.
"Okay, the next one is you tell me who the father is and I can go and beat him until he coughs up enough money, and I'll say how much is enough, that you can take care of yourself and the other two for a few years at least." Samuel said, his face stern but a smile tugging at his lips.
Mary couldn't help but laugh as well. "How about no?" she teased.
Samuel smiled at her and reached out to take her hand once more, squeezing it. "This one I really want you to think about," he told her. "There's a hunter I know, just three years older than you. Good hunter, good man, handy and reliable." she somehow saw where this was going but she didn't like it. "And most of all, he's looking to settle down a bit."
"I have a kid and I'm pregnant with someone else's kid." Mary reminded him. "Most men won't like that."
"Well gossip on the grapevine says that he can't have kids." Samuel told her. "I didn't try to go into the details but I don't think he'd mind."
"Dad." Mary started to say.
"Just...just think about it." Samuel told her. "I just want to know that you and the children are taken care of Mary. So just...think about it."
