The Way We Were

The Way We Book Club PT2

Marcy shut the back door to Travis and walked the twins to the front door. She jostled the pan in her arms to take out her keys and unlock the door.

The twins walked in ahead of her and began taking off their winter gear.

"Go to the den." Marcy told them.

They ran off and she set the pan on the steps then came back to hang up their things and take hers off. Once that was done, she picked up the pan and followed them. She turned the TV on.

"What do you guys want to see?"

"Batman, Mommy!" Mally yelled.

"Wonder Woman!" Mickey raised her arms above her head.

"Justice League it is." Marcy found the correct channel and walked to the living room. She set the pan down then walked upstairs. "Are you guys here?!"

She went to Quinn's room and opened the door.

Mercedes looked over from vacuuming. "Hey! You're here!"

"Yeah!" Marcy raised her voice to be heard over the vacuum.

"Where are the twins?!" Mercedes turned the vacuum off and started rolling up the cord.

"Watching TV in the den."

Quinn turned around from her desk. "Hey. When did you get here?"

Marcy smirked. "Just now."

"Did you bring the twins?"

"I had to. Father and Mother are working, Maddie's at a lesson, Mal's hanging out with a friend and Jude has a day date."

"I'm going to go see them before everyone gets here." Quinn got up.

"You should finish your homework." Mercedes told her wife.

"Ugh!" Quinn rolled her eyes. "I have all day!"

"No, you don't. We have date night tonight. Remember? Mikey's taking us out."

Quinn pouted. "I don't want to do this. Math is boring!"

"Rude!" Marcy snapped.

"It is! Finding the answers just bore me."

"You need math for everything in life. Stop complaining."

"You love math. Why don't you do my homework?"

"I'm not doing your homework. There's nothing wrong with you. You know math. You're just lazy."

"I like math as much as you like computer class."

Marcy shuddered. "Give me the work."

Quinn brightened and brought her the textbook. "Yay!"

Mercedes shook her head and put the vacuum away.

"Are Santana and Brittany still coming?" Marcy asked. "I know they're not talking after you spilled that Santana and Artie hooked up."

"I can't believe Brittany's really mad at Santana." Quinn sat on her bed and stretched out.

"Yeah but what is she really mad about? The fact that her best friend slept with her boyfriend or that she didn't sleep with her?"

Mercedes returned. "What are you talking about?"

"Brittany and Santana." Quinn kicked her feet slowly. "Why is Brittany really mad?"

Mercedes shrugged. "I just know she is."

"You know Santana's mad, too." Marcy pointed out.

"I know why she's mad. She's mad that Brittany wouldn't break up with Artie when she first caught feelings. Apparently they've been hooking up for a while. Since Matt moved away."
