Chapter 25

Marcy tossed what she had in her hands and finished her morning ablutions.

"I'm really worried about her." Quinn stated.

Laura nodded. "Mercy's getting sadder and sadder."

"What do we do?" Yuria turned to Marcy.

Marcy simply shrugged, head bowed.

Laura was worried about her, too. "Sweetie,-?"

"I'm fine."

"I was going to ask if you were hungry."

"Oh. No. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Yuria pressed.

"I'm sure."

They all were worried. Marcy rarely answered questions outright on the first try.

"How about you be my little helper and help me bake some things?" Laura hoped that'd snap her out of it. Marcy hated being referred to as a "little helper".

But Marcy merely nodded and straightened to walk to the kitchen slowly.

"How are you two?" Laura looked at Quinn and Yuria.

Quinn slid on her icy mask before it cracked. "I'm not pregnant either and it's been months of trying."

Yuria hated how her personal life was flourishing while her sisters were in pain. "It'll happen."

"When?" Quinn was stressing out and stress eating because of it.

"I don't know."

Quinn swiped away a tear. "I gotta go. I have to finish studying for finals."

"Quinn." Laura felt heartbroken for her babies.

"I gotta go." Quinn ran out of the office before she broke down.

Yuria burst into tears. "What are we going to do, Laura?"

Laura hugged her. "We're going to have a meeting."

Finals got in the way of that meeting but everyone passed. It was a rough year but thankfully it was over until September.

While everyone was trying to sleep the day after finals away, Ellen's water broke.

Early.

Ellen had a safe delivery and gave birth to Yleana Daisy Chang, who looked like a lighter version of Riley or Ais. She was so cute and her parents loved her immediately but Marcy refused to hold her.

Mal was truly worried now. He thought he only had to give her space but ever since Azimio's funeral and honestly before, she'd been acting so strangely.

Ellen didn't see a problem as she hadn't said or done anything weird to her.

But Mal knew.

Jake was sweating. "Are you sure?"

"Yes! We have to tell someone and I definitely can't tell my parents!" Sparrow hissed.

"My mom is going to kill me. Are you really sure?"

"I took five tests in front of you!"

He hung his head. "Okay. We'll tell Puck and Mercy you're pregnant."
