A Tribe United Again

Chapter 7

Karou pouted. "We're not going to be moved in by tonight!"

Laura sighed. "Why would you want to?"

"CC is!"

"Marcy worked like a dog to be able to."

"So we have to work harder?" Karou didn't want that.

And Laura knew it. "You won't be able to move in for another week."

"Why?!" Karou stomped a foot.

"I have classes, work, my internship, my kids and my husband; not to mention I'm pregnant!"

Karou stuck her bottom lip out. "But-"

"No buts, Karou. I'm busy and I'm trying to go as quickly as I can."

Karou's sweet almond gaze filled with unshed tears.

"I'm not feeling bad for you. You should have found your house sooner and asked for help sooner and had clear ideas about what you want. It's your fault."

Yuria walked into the completed kitchen. "We are nearly finished with the nurseries."

"Good girl."

"Laura said it was our fault our house isn't done yet!" Karou cried.

Yuria was all types of confused.

"She wants to move in by tonight but there is no way on this realm of possibility that that is happening." Laura explained.

Yuria hugged Karou. "Do we have to be moved in tonight?"

"Marcy's going to be gone." Karou sobbed.

Yuria hadn't thought of that. "Jude will still be there."

Laura checked her phone. "Actually Paris just texted. They're moving in the last of their things."

Yuria was shook. She'd never done well with Marcy or Jude.

"Everything will be fine." Laura made eye contact with the frightened brunette. "You're still safe with us."

Yuria nodded.

Marcy took their boxes to the house and threw their dirty clothes in the laundry room and put their electronics up along with the kids' toys they couldn't live without.

She checked on the staff and saw they were doing fine so she left and went back to Laura's and Marc's house to go upstairs. She went to the room that would be her old room in a matter of hours.

Mal was on the naked bed with all the children. "Is it done?"

"Yup. I'm going to drive the kids in Travis then you're going to drive your car with Chase and Lisa and Marc is going to drive Yokohama."

He bobbed his head.

"Yo!" Mally raised his arms above his head.

"Yeah." Marcy kissed his cheek.

"Are you tired from helping Jude and Paris?" Mal tickled his eldest.

"A little bit. I feel bad for missing church but they keep fighting and need a mediator."

"I didn't know Jude could fight."

She smirked. "Paris drove that monk to violence."

He laughed.

Marc grumbled as he parked in the older Changs' garage. Mike could have let him drive Rhonda.
