"You should probably go to bed by 9:30 if you're not confident you can fall asleep quickly." Mac corrected Allie.

"I can probably get ready in an hour." Travis mumbled, thinking it over. He really didn't want to have to go to bed at 9:30.

"We do have to leave here by seven," Mickey said.

"Kara, why don't you make your sister some coffee," Marcus said. Kara whipped around to protest but Marcus held up his finger. "Coffee." Grumbling, Kara made her way to the coffee station.

"I--" Lily started but Kara cut her off. "I know what you want." Lily smiled a little bit, and watched as the towering Marcus took the lunch and carried it towards the back. "You smell like weed," Lily whispered.

"No shit, punk," Kara said, walking back over and putting the small mocha on the counter, a tower of whip cream wiggling on top. "I'd like to enjoy my last day."

Quinn laughed a bit, but got sad since well...her mother wasn't wrong. This is the only time she is allowed visitation and it's specifically this day, and only for three hours.

Depta sighed a bit and said "I'm sorry I brought that up"

Mort looked at Quinn and whispered "Quinn, it's okay"

"How is this okay?! I know you keep telling me why. I get it, you did a bad thing, but for the rest of the war when you got out of the hospital...you fought beside them. You protected people, you saved people, you helped reveal key bases for the armed forces. Why does this one bad thing have to ruin your life?"

Depta said "It was a..."

"I know it was a really bad thing!" Quinn said snapping "But you did so much good afterwards! This isn't fair! You're a hero! You don't deserve this!"

"Quinn..." Depta said quietly. "I..."

"But you both just blindly accept it! This is wrong! This isn't justice, it's cruelty! If you had to serve jail time, fine! You served it! So they can let you home! But no...you oand dad..."

Mort said "Quinn that's enough!" Quinn paused looking at her father in shock. "Do you think I'm happy with this?" Quinn paused seeing her father's smoke leave for a brief moment before subsiding in it. She has rarely seen that...her father doesn't use his powers that much anymore. Thinks they are a curse...Mort carried on. "I'm not. I agree it's not fair. However, there is nothing any of us could do. Treason is a serious crime, no matter how much she made up for it.

This...is the best we're ever going to get. It's not fair, of course it's not. But do you know how I made peace with it?" Quinn was silent as she noticed Mort taking a huge deep breath as Depta watched her husband in sadness. "Because, at the end of the day, your mother still gets to see you growing up, even if it's by fragments.

My relationship, while still strained, has never been stronger witth your Uncle Mac because of this. We can actually be in the same room without wanting to kill each other"

Mort looked at Quinn "And I still get to raise you." Quinn sniffled a bit but tried to hide her tears "Yes, it's not fair. However, there is some good in this...and I treasure every day with it"

Quinn suddenly hugged her father as Depta kissed his cheek. Quinn sniffled "Thanks, Dad."

"Now dry those tears...we have so much to talk about still." Mort said as Quinn smiled a bit, Depta mouthing thank you towards her husband.

"Well, you all can." Mac joked before going back to eating.

"So does Uncle Garrett know about your little tattoo" asked Depta right off the bat.

Mort corrected "Stick and Poke"

"Well..." Quinn got kind of quiet. She promised she wouldn't tell Uncle Garrett about it. "Yeah of course he does"

Depta chuckled "How'd he take it?" secretly motioning to Mort's phone. Quinn's lying like a rug and she knew it. She and Mort did the same thing when the doctor knew she was pregnant with Quinn. It was a surprise.

Quinn chuckled "About as well as Dad" 

Depta smirked "So not very?" 

"At least it was away from, Lily. I love Kara, but she has some bad habits I don't want Lily to pick up" Quinn said quietly. "Sorry, it's just...I don't know. Lily's just a treat. Any time I hear someone wronging her, I just want to make them suffer." 

"Quinn..." Depta sighed "You know what, as long as you don't act on it. Everyone has those thoughts from time to time. I'm glad you're so close" 

Meanwhile, Mort texted Garrett "Probably not a surprise, but Kara was the one who gave Quinn her stick and poke. I don't know if you knew or suspected I just got it confirmed myself" 

Garret sighed audibly, and quite loudly as he chucked his phone in his chair and flopped onto on his couch, covering his face with his arms. "Why now? Why all of this?!" He groaned, and with a cheerful mrrp, their massive cat Oliver leapt up onto Garret's chest and began to make himself comfortable. "Oof, geez Oli," he said, but sighed in as the cat settled down and began to purr. He stroked the cat quietly, thinking.

"Mmm," Mickey hummed, looking at Mac pointedly. They tried to avoid discussing money around the kids because--

"Does that mean an allowance? Maybe?" Allie asked excitedly.

“That’s not true. Maybe me but...Trav’s in high school,” Allie said. “That’s when we’re really supposed to be independent. That’s how it is in books and movies!”

“Both usually fictional things,” Mickey reminded Allie. “Your father and I will discuss the possibility, but not right now.”

(Implying Mac has ever been in an argument with Mickey he had any chance of winning)
"Yeah, we'll discuss it later. My bad for breaking the no money at the dinner table rule." Mac went back to eating.

(I still say if they ever would get into an argument...Mickey would win)

Depta asked "So, any boyfriends your dad has been scaring off"

"Ummm" Quinn said getting uncomfortable as Mort gave her a look. "I would rather not talk about that with him here."

"Why not Quinn?" Mort said getting dangerously curious for Quinn's taste.

Depta said "Mort, go to the bathroom or something. This is something between her and me"

Mort sighed and said "Fine," bathroom breaks were allowed since Three Hours is a long time. Mort stepped out and Quinn and Depta were alone.

“Hi Grandpa!” Allie said, smiling at him as he appeared.

“Morning Seth,” Mickey said. “Your plate’s already on the table.”

"So..." Depta said crossing her arms, "Your father is really being the scary dad that no boyfriend wants to piss off?"

"No," Quinn said looking at Depta's gentle face which shifted slightly to concern. Depta quietly saw Quinn move her lips then say in a whisper "Its not him, it's me" Before Depta could ask Quinn said "I...I don't want to talk about why."

"Then what was the point of us kicking out your father so it's between the two women of this family?" Depta said pointedly. "Come on, you know i won't judge you"

There was silence for a little bit, as Quinn's breath became heavy and long as she stated to her idol, her mother, "When I go on dates, it's not that i don't have a good time, I do. I just...halfway through I...get these thoughts. Thoughts of them...well..."

"Fucking you" was the blunt response from Depta that got Quinn to go neon red, but sheepishly nod.

"It happens every date. It's going well, then...I get these urges to..." Quinn took a groaning breath and said "I get the urge to just take them down, and fuck them silly. Okay?! I'm a slut okay!"

Depta started to laugh her ass off as Quinn started to get red with anger this time as Depta moved her hand up. "You're not a slut. It's normal to have these thoughts.Honestly, we didn't even need to kick your father out if this was what you were worried about"

"But mom..." Quinn said quietly "None of the other cousins get like this"

"Well that's what happens when you inherit two strong libidos like your father and mine." Depta said casually. "Honestly, I'd be more concerned if you were a prude." Quinn started to get more embarrassed.

"Uh..." Quinn said quietly "So I'm not a perverted freak"

"No," chuckled Depta a bit. "You're fine. Though since your father isn't here, we can talk Succubus to Half Succubus"

Quinn put her hands up "Mom, I do not need to know biology...I already had an awkward talk with Dad about that."

"No, No," Depta said trying to keep her composure still. "I meant about how you should handle your strong urges."

Quinn got very quiet "Oh..." well they were already in awkward territory...might as well go all the way.

Depta said "I am going to ask an important question...are you a virgin?"

Quinn became red but said "Y...yeah...I get really scared you know"

Depta sighed "It's nothing to be scared of. Listen, Quinn, as long as you are being careful and not hurting people it's okay to act sometimes on those urges" Quinn gave her mom a look. "Admittedly I'm biased..."

Depta said "But are you on birth control?"

Quinn nodded and said "Y...yeah..."

"Why the stammering?" Depta said noticing that right away. "That's a good thing."

"It's just...Dad doesn't know I'm on it" Quinn said quietly, as Depta gave her a glare. "It's just I don't want him to..."

Depta put her hand up and asked politely "Can you please let my husband back inside?" to one of the guard. The Guard nodded and let Mort back in who had to sit down.

Depta said "Quinn...don't hide things from your father. Now tell him what you told me"

Quinn looked at a confused but glaring Mort, then looked at her mother, both the parent's wills bearing down on her. "Dad...I'm on birth control. I haven't had sex yet but if I do I want to be careful. I..." Mort put his hand up.

Here it comes, here comes Dad Mode, Here comes that annoying tone her father gets that makes her feel so small. Here comes Dad... "Okay" saying that... Quinn looked up in surprise as Mort said "Honestly, you didn't have to hide it from me"

Quinn got quiet and Mort laughed "Did you think I would judge you?" Quinn looked at him quietly and nodded "Sweetie, I'd be a pretty big hypocrite if I did. I remember what I was like at your age." Depta chuckled as she remembered when a demon went to grab Jessie from the Succubus pit down in Hell. Mort's a loyal lover...but...well he can handle a succubus's lust to put it nicely.

"Then why are you so against me dating?" Quinn said now confused.

"I trust you." Mort started "It's your dates I don't trust."

Depta exclaimed "Mort!"

Mort sighed "What? I was a teenage boy too. I remember what I was like at that age."

Depta rubbed her temples a bit in exasperation "This is where Quinn gets it from" She sighed "Please don't got all "My baby girl" on Quinn's dates. She's responsible enough to make her own choices." Mort gave Quinn and Depta a look. "Okay, she's at least responsible in this area."

Mort sighed "Fine, I'll calm it down, as long as you stay safe young lady"

Quinn nodded and said "I will"

Mort laughed and said "now that we got that awkward talk out of the way, we still have time." Mort looked at Depta and said "Want me to text Mickey or Mac and see if they want to say hi?"

Depta said "It's like 8 in the morning"

Mort responded with "They have two kids"

Depta casually said "Try Mickey" as Quinn gave her a look.

"With Depta early today, do you or Mac want to say hi?" Mort texted Mickey

"And besides, I never said it'd be fun to go to bed early." Mac added.

"Alright, hopefully they get the point by now." Seth cut in, though more in a positive manner than a rude one. "Anything you two are looking forward to when you get to school?" He asked the kids.

"Mom said they have a lot more sports, I gotta try and get on a team or two." Travis replied.
