How to make the drop down portion of my menu toggle in mobile view?

Question

I have a menu where in desktop view a drop down effect works when you hover over it (Quick Links and Getting Started).

What I wanted to do was create a click-toggle version in mobile view, so when a user taps on Quick links for example, the menu expands with the additional links, and then tap again to close.

I know that in bootstrap (which I am using in my website) I can make it work similar, when the user taps on it the menu drops down, however what happens is the menu overlays over the others, i was hoping to just make it expand and push the others down instead.

I am also calling jquery version 1.12, and will be using all my jquery documents externally.

here is the JS Fiddle:

In Bootstrap you can use an accordion menu for mobile. It will push the other things down when you open a menu option.
