It's Called Being Sassy

Nannies

Marc closes the door. "Well Mally had a good time at church."

Marcy kisses the baby's cheek. "Tio better leave you alone!"

Mally makes sounds like he agrees with her.

Marc taps his small nose. "Shut up."

"You gon stop abusing my baby!" Marcy sets the car-seat aside and takes Mally upstairs.

Mal adjusts Mickey in his arms as he sets her car-seat aside. "We'll see you guys later."

"Are you going back to sleep?" Karou asks.

"Probably."

"Pass. I'd rather watch movies."

"Me too. Let's watch Kitsune Kops." Paris suggests.

"Ugh!" Quinn's lip curls. "You like that show?"

"Duh!" Both make faces at her before leaving.

She glares at their backs as Mal goes upstairs. "Let's go watch the Bejeweled Thief."

Mercedes rolls her eyes. Of course Quinn wants to watch her most awarded movie. "Let's change first."

"We can just watch it in your room. Bye, Marc, bye, Pop." Quinn pulls Mercedes, Natalia and London upstairs.

"What are you going to do?" They have too much energy for Marcus.

"I got work to do." Marc shrugs his massive shoulders. "We're putting out another game."

"Good." Dr. Jones doesn't understand video games but he understands business. Another product means more revenue and more hours put in to earn it.

Marc jogs upstairs.

Marcus closes the door and locks it before going to his office to work for a while.

Mal shuffles over to Marcy's bed. "I got something for you."

"Why?" She doesn't open her eyes.

"For Mother's Day."

Her eyes open. "You got me something for Mother's Day?" This year, Mother's Day is the first Sunday in May.

"Yes."

She sits up. "What is it?"

"Here you go." He gets in the bed and sits close to her. He hands over a package.

She unwraps it. "Oh Mal."

"Do you like it?"

She kisses his cheek. "I love it."

He smiles. "Good."

She sets it on her bedside dresser and rolls over onto him, sitting up in his lap.

His smile widens. "Oh, what's this?"

"This is your "thank you"." She leans forward.

He's totally excited. "Yeah!"

Natalia answers the front door as she's sent downstairs for refreshments for the next movie she and her cousins are watching. "Grandfather? Grandmother? Hi!"

"Natalia." Po Seon nods.

"Hello, Natalia." Xhi-Xhi Seon touches her arm.

"Is this a friend?" Natalia asks after the young woman with them.

"No." Po says in his no nonsense way. "Where is Marceline Anne?"

"Sleeping, I think." Natalia finally shuts the door.
