Terri rolls her eyes but heads into the bathroom, keeping hold of Emma’s hand until distance forces her to drop it. Emma adjusts Abby in her arms and walks up the hallway, pausing in the doorway to Quinn’s room. Quinn is lying on her stomach on the bed, reading a magazine. She looks up and smiles widely at Emma.

“Hey. Good day at work?”

“Uh huh. Homework?” Emma asks, an eyebrow quirked.

Quinn grins.

“Did it in study hall, Rachel helped,” she says, getting off the bed and walking towards Emma. “Hey baby, coming to mama?”

Abby squirms and reaches out for her mother, Emma passes her over and Quinn blows raspberries against her cheek.

“And you didn’t think to tell Terri that you’ve already done your homework?” Emma asks, trying in vain not to smile.

“Nah, it’s fun to watch her try to be all parent-y,” Quinn says. “The vein in her forehead looked really close to popping tonight. Fingers crossed for next time.”

“Quinn...” Emma begins, using her best stern tone.

“I know, I’m sorry. I’ll tell her about the homework at dinner, okay?” Quinn says.

“Okay, and you’ll apologise, right?” Emma says.

“Ugh, you know I hate to do that,” Quinn says with an eyeroll. She turns to Abby. “Will you say sorry to Terri for mommy?”

“Sowwy Tewwi,” Abby says, earnestly.

Emma smiles and kisses Abby on the top of her head.

“You’re such a good girl,” she says, fixing Quinn with a look that clearly indicates that she had better learn some manners from her daughter. “Dinner in ten minutes.”

“We’ll be there,” Quinn says, spinning Abby around and making her squeal in delight.

Emma walks back down the hall to the kitchen and finds Terri stirring something on the stove. She leans against the doorway, a gentle smile working its way across her face. Terri glances over her shoulder.

“You better not still be laughing at the paint thing,” she warns, turning back to her task.

Emma pushes herself off the wood and walks over until she’s standing right behind Terri. She slips her arms around her waist and rests her chin on her shoulder.

“Nope,” she says, happily. “I was just thinking about our crazy, messy, amazing life.”

“And what were you thinking about it?” Terri mutters, adding some ingredient or other to her sauce.

“That I love our strange little family and that I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Emma says, her lips moving against Terri’s neck.

“Don’t use the word ‘family’ around Quinn, okay? I don’t want her getting too attached,” Terri says, but she is smiling.

“Uh huh, sure sweetie,” Emma says, pecking Terri on the side of her mouth.

Terri turns her head and makes it a proper kiss until a loud voice interrupts them.

“Again? Are you two trying to scar my child for life?”

Emma pulls away slightly and smiles at Terri’s scowl, she cups Terri’s face and strokes her cheek with her thumb.

“Wouldn’t change it for the world.”

any chance of reading about them eating dinner? or doing anything? This is one of those fics I never knew I needed until I read it.

How are there not hundreds of fics about "the best dysfunctional family ever?" They are all just so adorable together.

Well, I've been told that this has to be turned into a series. So there may well be more fics with 'the best dysfunctional family ever' in the future.

Also, this: This is one of those fics I never knew I needed until I read it. is a lovely piece of feedback :)

They are wonderful aren't they?

Yes, they are. So why are you not writing more of them??!??!!

Jesus this is gorgeous. I love this so so much. NEED MOAR! I think you have a series on your hands ;)

I can't do it all alone. You and

grdnofevrythng need to join in too!!!

Cool. I'm there. We can alternate.

Excellent. I like this little family.

Ok so you know that the ducks have had to close their delicate eyes but I loved this.

For some reason I really love Memma but my fav line was “Less of the old, sweetheart. I can still keep up with you,” Terri says, close enough now to press a kiss to Emma’s lips. She continues in a lower voice. “All night, if necessary.” I prefer not to think about the laughing that follows - in my mind it has totally gone off in a whole different tangent ;)

Babe, I can only imagine the psychological trauma this has caused the ducks.

The E/T+Q thing is from Glitter. E and T have kind of become surrogate parents to Quinn. (Except that T and Q sort of flirt with each other, it's disturbing.) This is an extension of that.

in my mind it has totally gone off in a whole different tangent - Yep. That tangent happens all the time on Glitter.

Babe, I can only imagine the psychological trauma this has caused the ducks. They are going to need extensive therapy now!!!!!!

The E/T+Q thing is from Glitter. E and T have kind of become surrogate parents to Quinn. I kinda gather that :)

Except that T and Q sort of flirt with each other, it's disturbing. And now I feel sick. The ducks and I both need help.

And now I feel sick. The ducks and I both need help. - And so does Emma. She is thoroughly disturbed by it. (Which is mostly why they do it.)

And so does Emma. She is thoroughly disturbed by it. (Which is mostly why they do it.) Oh that is so not helping me or Emma for that matter!

They haven't been doing it so much lately. At this very moment in time, Terri is holding a heat pad to Quinn's back and touching her stomach.
