The Way We Were

The Way We Start Senior Year

Marcy hated morning sickness with a passion.

Mal rubbed her back soothingly. "Are you alright?"

"How'd I forget this part?"

He shrugged.

"I'm never getting pregnant again."

"Six is enough."

"You're not doing the hard work."

"Two was enough?" He grimaced.

She glared at him before throwing up again.

W.W.W.

Tina walked up to Marcy at the beginning of school. "Hey. Artie's going to be giving me and Blaine rides to school. Even though Blaine says he wants to ride with you since he lives closer to you than Artie or me."

Marcy focused on breathing deeply and smelling the Ginger gum in her mouth.

"Are you okay? You seem out of it."

"Morning sickness is a bitch." She closed her locker.

"Yeah, you were sick a lot last year-" Tina stopped and looked at her before looking around excitedly. She turned back to Marcy and whispered, "Are you pregnant again?!"

Marcy nodded. "Yup. Bastard got me again."

Tina hugged Marcy. "I love when you're pregnant!"

Marcy chuckled. "You can't tell anyone but so is Laura, Mercy and Quinn."

"No! Way!" Tina officially caught baby fever.

"Yeah. But hopefully I'm the only one having triplets."

Tina's jaw dropped. "You're kidding!"

"Nope."

Tina feared for her vagina but was happy anyway. "I'm so jealous!"

Marcy let her wrap their arms together and set off towards art club. "Don't be. It's not all fun and games."

"You mean Britt and Tana? I know. Artie told me he hasn't told his parents or Anna."

"I know. He's waiting to see what the Bobsee Twins do. I told him they were his babies, too and he has rights."

"It's such a mess."

Marcy agreed.

W.W.W.

"That's got to fill you with pride." Marcy scared the hell out of Mr. Shue.

He jumped. "Marcy?!"

"The signup sheet is full." She pointed.

"Yeah, I see." He turned back to it. "I never thought I'd see it again. It makes me really happy."

Marcy narrowed her eyes on a particular name. "Hey? Who's he?"

He saw who she meant. "I have a sneaking suspicion."

W.W.W.

"But you've played for me for three years!" Coach Burke was so hurt.

"I'm sorry, Coach but no can do." Marcy shook her head.

"Is it because you have three kids?"

"It's because I have three kids inside me."

Coach Burke's face changed dramatically. "You're pregnant again?!"

Marcy grinned at her whisper-yelling. "Yes."
