Enchanted

Chapter 19

It was nearly the first of September, which was the start of school for all of them, before Marcy released Tristan's name to the public. She still refused to share a picture.

But that was okay because Ellen and Mal took enough photos so that when the time came, it'd be plenty to choose from.

While they were living and gearing up for school, Marcy watched Ellen. The redhead didn't act different or anything but Marcy knew she was different. So she cornered her one day.

She gave her a package and pushed her into a water closet. Ellen felt like it was a hostile takeover and she didn't understand why Marcy was making her take a pregnancy test.

When she finished and washed up at the sink, Marcy took the test carefully and set it on a paper towel.

"I don't understand. You think I'm pregnant?" Ellen worried.

"Are you on birth control?" Marcy raised a brow.

"My parents think I'm still a virgin so they didn't put me on any."

"You can get birth control on your own. Not to mention Mal isn't the best at using condoms. As evidenced by us having our-" She stopped to count before shaking her head. "Hundredth child."

Ellen smiled. "What if I am?"

"We're going to have to get married before you give birth."

"You still want to marry me?"

"Why wouldn't we?"

Ellen had to hug her.

"This is weird."

"I'm carrying our new baby. Be nice to me."

"I can't wait for your labor."

Ellen didn't know how to take that.

Marcy's alarm sounded so they checked the test.

Mal held an ice pack up to his head. "Wow. We're really going to have a football team."

"14 kids." Marcy shook her head.

Mal snuck a kiss to Ellen.

Who lit up. She was so happy she didn't know what to do.

"We need to make a doctor's appointment to make sure." Marcy didn't want to burst her bubble.

Ellen nodded. "Will I get photos like you did?"

"Yes."

Ellen squealed.

"Depending on how far along you are, you shouldn't tell anyone yet."

Ellen pouted. "Because of Robin?"

Why did people think that she had her miscarriage before she was cleared to tell? "Just keep it under your hat."

"I'm not wearing a hat."

"You're so lucky you're pretty."

"Marcy!"

Mal walked out, not wanting to be in that fight.

"You drove my husband away." Marcy shook her head before following.

Ellen was so hurt. She followed to yell more.

"You did hurt my feelings." Ellen tried to go for a guilt-trip.

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings." Marcy rubbed her arm.

Ellen smiled. "So you'll do it?"

"No."
