“You got married, so you’ve got to move out. Those are the rules,” Agatha stated from her spot on the couch. Despite the heat of the house and work, she was snuggled under a blanket.
“I knew I shouldn’t have gotten married,” Sera grumbled and looked around the room at the scattered boxes. Clearly, the movers had gotten distracted as the day went on.
“Don’t worry, Sera. We kicked Mabel and Harper out the exact same way,” Buzz said as she handed out drinks she had grabbed from the kitchen. “Finally!”
“No, you didn’t. They both still have rooms here,” Lucy argued, getting up off the floor.
“I gave mine to Buzz a few days ago,” Harper stated, though unlocking it had just seemed like a nice gesture, not an “I’m giving up my room” gesture. Buzz was sure that if she needed it, Harper would happily kick her sister out again.
“I told Maby she could have a room here if I got one at her place. It only seemed fair,” Lucy argued for her twin, the moldy cupcake forgotten.
“I don’t believe any of it,” Sera announced and threw up her hands.
“I just want to thank everyone for helping Sera through this challenging time in her life. Moving a block and a half from you girls is hard for her. I don’t know if anyone even noticed that.” Harrison pulled his wife into his arms as he made his speech.
“Yeah, she was hiding that from everyone.” Buzz snorted at them.
“I’m very good at hiding things from you people, Buzz,” Sera stated, then broke down laughing at what she said.
“What are you hiding, Sera?” Harper grinned and eyed her critically.
“Nothing. But I could if I wanted to,” Sera reminded them. “Now move these boxes out. I want to be completely moved in by nightfall.”
“So that you can have sex with your husband in your house with all your stuff?” Agatha asked.
“For your information, yes,” Sera shot back at her.
“Gross, Mom. I’m right here.” Emma dropped her bag and headed up the stairway away from everyone.
“Love you too, baby,” Sera called after her, which only was rewarded by her baby giving her the finger. “I think I have to learn to control my language.”
“The first step is admitting it, Mom,” Maby stated with a grin.
Above them, a door slammed, and Emma came back down the steps. “Where’s all my shit?”
“In your new room down the street,” Lucy replied cheerfully.
“I’m not leaving! I’m staying here. Just because she moves out doesn’t mean I have to.”
“Nope, you get to move in with your mommy and daddy,” Buzz told her. That had always been the plan. No way was Sera letting one of her actual babies not live with her until the law said they could pry themselves from her. Even then, it was going to be a hard fight.
“I think I’m old enough to live here. This is my home.” Emma crossed her arms.
“Me too.” Violet had maneuvered herself under Agatha’s blanket and was sitting on her lap.
“No, no, no. Both my children are moving with me, and anyone else for that matter. Don’t let Harrison tell you that you’re not welcome, and we have room for everyone,” Sera assured everyone.
“Not everyone,” Harrison argued.
“Almost everyone. A few might have to sleep on the couches. And no husbands; that would be too many.”
“So, if you’re married, you’re not welcome?” Maby asked.
“Maby, you are always welcome. I know which room I’d put you in already. Just no Cliff.” Sera pulled away from Harrison and gave Maby a tight hug.
“Harsh, Mom Lovely,” Cliff stated from the doorway of the kitchen, where the men were hiding from the moving boxes. Sera gave him the finger as she continued to hug his wife.
“Why does she get a room? She already has two,” Harper pointed out.
