Mike tapped out a beat on the library table. "Halloween!"

"Halloween!" His sisters and Mal yelled back.

"Shush!" Brenda shushed them.

Marcy stuck her tongue out. "Go away!"

Brenda narrowed her eyes.

"Go away! Go away! Go away!" Quinn began chanting.

Marcy immediately joined.

Mike and Mal joined.

Mercedes was tired of them. "Stop that! Be good!"

Brenda was thankful for this child. "Please keep it down. This is a library."

"A school library." Marcy argued. "Begone, lady!"

Mal fell out laughing.

Brenda huffed and walked off.

"Marcy!" Mercedes yelled.

Marcy began crying.

Quinn hugged her. "It's okay, Marce."

Mal set Quinn's chair aside and hugged his wife. "I know Mercy's mean-"

"Mal!" Mercedes screamed before she burst into tears.

Quinn wanted to laugh as Mike rolled his eyes hard. "Shut up, twerp!"

"I'm bigger than you!" Mal had waited fifteen years to tell Mike that.

Mike shot up.

Quinn began crying herself. "Stop fighting!"

The librarian didn't know what to do about them.

Puck was getting dizzy.

Finn sat next to him in the computer lab. "Hey? What are you looking at?"

"Houses."

"Houses? Don't you like where you live?"

"Yeah but not for me. Mama said I could do whatever I want with the money her family gives me for weekly allowance so I'm buying my moms a house."

Finn's brows lifted. "You can do that?!"

"Yep. Mama said. So Mini Mama's gon help me with stuff."

Finn wanted to buy his mom a house but she and Burt were getting a new house so that they and Kurt would have room. "I want to do something for my mom."

"Buy her a new car." Puck suggested. "Her car is almost as bad as your truck."

Finn could admit that. "Your truck sucks, too!"

"Yeah but Mama said she'd help me supe it up."

"I wonder if Quinn'll help me?"

"Is she finished with her own car?"

"She's doing it. I don't know what she's doing but she's doing it."

"Mama has me doing the grunt work for her."

"But they can't have help."

"I'm not lettin my Mama get hurt workin on a damn car."

Finn smiled.

Puck didn't hear anything and looked over. "Why do you look like that?"

"You love your wife."

Puck blushed. "Get away from me."

Finn smiled widely before leaving.
