The Way We Were

The Way We Tell Our News

Marcus didn't really like tea but his daughter went through the trouble of fixing it for him so he'd drink it. "What's this meeting about, Sweetpea?"

"Mal and I have something to tell you." Marcy looked at Mal with a crooked smile.

"We've decided to call off the divorce." Mal took her hand.

Judy and Jeanette leapt to their feet and started praising God. "Yes!"

Michael and Marcus nearly went limp with relief. Russell raised a brow. "Are you sure?"

The other adults glared at him.

"I'm just saying. You were gung ho for this divorce yesterday."

"Which leads to our other news." Mal started.

"We're pregnant!" Marcy yelled, a bundle of nerves.

Jeanette and Judy ran to her and hugged her.

"Another baby?" Russell wrinkled his nose. "Is that enough to save your marriage?"

"Yes." Mal said. "It already did. We talked. Without yelling. We're good now."

"Good!" Michael blew out a breath. "I hated to see you both so stirred up."

"Another baby." Marcus breathed. "Have you told the twins?"

"Not yet. We wanted to meet with you to let you know first. We're telling them later then we're going to tell our friends." Marcy said.

"Your siblings will be happy." Judy clasped her hands together.

"We're all happy." Jeanette hugged Marcy.

Marcy smiled. "Thank you!"

W.W.W.

Marcy looked at Luke. "Thank you for meeting me."

"I know how busy you are." He sipped his coffee.

She winced. "So I'm told. How's your break going?"

"Just spending time with family. It can get a little boring."

"I just work all weekend long. In fact I have a meeting after this."

"I can believe it. So why'd you call me? Are we just hanging out?"

She blew out a breath. "I'm just gonna say it. I'm pregnant."

His eyes widened. "But we haven't... And we just started-"

"It's my husband's." She held up a hand.

He just nodded slowly, in a daze.

"Are you alright?" She tried to make eye contact with him.

He swallowed before making the contact. "I think you should work it out with him."

"What?" She was blown away. "Really?"

"Yes." He nodded firmly. "You have a family and you need to see if you can work it out. If you can't, call me."

She got up and hugged him. "You are such an amazing guy. I'm going to set you up."

He chuckled. "Unneeded. I just want you to be happy. It's all I ever wanted for you."

W.W.W.

"What's this meeting about?" Kurt asked.

"I have no idea." Mercedes shrugged. "Marcy just said to get everybody together in the choir room."

The class murmured amongst themselves. It was quite the crush as the glee club and Marcy's friends (with their spouses) crowded around.

Mr. Shue, Coach Sylvester, Coach Beiste and Coach Dante Billings (the soccer coach) spoke amongst themselves, wondering what was going on as well.
