Marcy bundled the kids up then picked up Riley. "Come on, guys. We're taking the minivan."
She didn't trust her car to the airport parking lot.
The large group exited the house and locked up. They got in the black minivan and drove to Tina's walk-up so that the biracial Asian could watch Secret.
Marcy took the black dog inside to her friend and took her, her gifts before coming out and getting in.
Mal continued driving to the airport and parked in the lot for extended stays. They got their things out and went inside to wait.
Going through security was a pain but so was waiting on their family. Especially with the slow Quinn.
Marc and Laura showed up next then their parents with Maddie. Mike, Mercedes and Quinn came when their flight was called.
"Don't judge me!" Quinn snapped at Marcy's angry look.
"Too late!" The young mother bit off.
"Girls!" Judy clapped her hands. "We need to leave."
They boarded their plane, Marcy and Quinn glaring at each other the whole time. The plane was a private plane from their family. They settled in for the long flight to the Bahamas.
W.W.W.
"This is beautiful!" The women loved their tropical paradise.
"Marcy, make sure you put on enough sunscreen." Jeanette ordered. Marcy was literally allergic to the sun. "All of you put on enough sunscreen."
"Yes, Mom." Her children chorused.
They went into their separate rooms and began unpacking and shedding their heavy winter layers quickly.
"Mommy? Pool!" Mally pointed out the window.
"I see, míjo." She pulled the curtains back. "We've got a balcony." She knew that meant they'd really have to watch the twins.
"Cool." Mike picked up Mally and threw him in the air. "Want to go swimming, Nephew?!"
Mally screamed in laughter. "Yeah, Tio Mike!"
Mickey glommed onto his leg. "Me too!"
"You too?!" He bent to kiss her cheek.
Mercedes and Quinn looked at each other with bright smiles. He would be such a good father.
Laura grabbed Marcy and the bottle of sunscreen. She put a thick layer on nearly all of her little sister's skin. "Come on, girls."
