A Tribe United Again

Chapter 2

Mike was suspicious on why they were out without the kids. His wives were either going to tell him something he didn't want to know or ask for something he didn't want to give.

Mercedes and Quinn were a bundle of nerves. They didn't know how he was going to take it since they weren't trying to get pregnant.

He set aside his napkin. "Okay. What's going on?"

Quinn laughed falsely. "Why do you think something's going on?"

"Mercy." He looked at his brunette wife.

"Shoot..." Quinn knew Mercedes couldn't hold water nor lie her way out of a paper bag.

That let Mike know he was right to suspect. "Mercy."

Mercedes pouted. "We're pregnant again."

He rubbed his temples. "Okay."

"Okay?" Quinn didn't trust that.

"We're having more babies. How many?"

"Just two."

He bobbed his head.

"You're not happy." Mercedes could cry.

"Baby, that's not it. The kids are only a year old. We're going to have five kids under the age of two."

"That's a lot." She admitted.

"Why are we so fertile?" Quinn wanted to know.

"I think it's cuz we're so young." Mike rolled his walnut eyes. "But we've got to get on birth control after this."

The girls agreed. "But not forever."

"Not forever. Just until we're not teenagers anymore."

The trio made a pact. They wouldn't get pregnant while teens anymore.

ATUA

Artie broke down crying. "Are you serious?"

Brittany beamed. "Yep!"

"Yeah." Santana grumped.

"I love you guys so much." Artie didn't care how many children he had. One was a blessing but four?

Brittany went to kiss him. "Marcy knew."

"Why didn't you tell me before now?"

"We just found out yesterday."

"And you told Boo Thang first?"

"No. She told us."

He blinked in confused shock.

She giggled. "She knew before any of us."

"Patti's a bloodhound." Santana's lips twisted.

Artie snickered. "BT bad."

Brittany squeezed his neck. "What do you think we're having?"

ATUA

Laura narrowed her azure eyes. "How did this happen?"

"Well breastfeeding was working for a while." Mercedes pouted.

Laura groaned loudly.

Quinn smiled. "Still want us to stay?"

Laura gave her a dirty look. "Go help Marcy with the kids."

Quinn silently gloated as she went to the hospital bed.

Mercedes sulked. "Are you mad at us?"

"No, honey." Laura hugged the younger mother. "We'll get through this."
