Mercy POV

I help Toni do her hair as I explain what's been going on.

Toni:Your mom is tough... Good thing your dad is coming back right?

Me:I guess, I mean he's always been sorta nonchalant to me and my mom's issues. I don't blame him.

Toni:It'll get better it always does.

Me:Hmm, but anyway anything new with you guys?

Toni:Every day fight with the Ghoulies, Sweetpea got a nice bruise on the jaw for it. One bit Fangs.

Me:Ew did he go to the doctor?

Toni:Nope, they did something to it and covered it up, I seen your Beau the other day too, he finally decided to ask me at school.

Me:I seriously thought he would have given up by now I would have.

Toni:Girl he is smitten over you without even knowing you. I gave him the first three digits of your phone number, he'll have to get the other parts from sweet pea and Fangs.

Me:Ugh, maybe we should just put him out of his misery.

Toni:He's fine, he loves riddles and puzzles, I gave him a hint to sweet pea so it shouldn't be long.

Me:I guess.

Toni:Well look on the bright side... Everything is coming together... Somewhat.

Me:Whatever.

Toni:Good thoughts for all you know everything is about to unravel and show the truth.

Me:I hope so.

Betty:Polly's convinced herself that no one wants her baby.

The crew plus one is sitting with us in the lounge as Betty talks about how polly is doing.

Kevin:Besides, of course, the child snatching blossom monsters.

I smack his arm and Cheryl looks at him.

Kevin: No offense, Cheryl.

Cheryl:None taken.

Jughead:So your mom and dad want Polly but not the baby. And the Blossms want the baby and not Polly. That's a true Gordian Knot.

Betty:It's an impossible situation.

Me:I mean why can't both families come to the middle? Look at it as a religion, or life style type thing.

Veronica:How?

Me:The Blossoms want the kid and the Coopers want the daughter, Polly can let the Blossoms visit their grandchild and niece or nephew and the Coopers can visit their child and if they don't want to, to visit the child.

Betty:Yeah but how would that work?

Me:Polly needs to get her own place, that way it's Switzerland. Polly keeps her baby, the blossoms don't have complete control over said child and Your parents can still have their daughter.

Betty:She'll need money to do that.

Me:She'll need money to have a baby in general, she's gonna have to work unless your families decide to just out and out provide for her and the child, the blossoms take care of the child and your parents Polly.
