Chapter 1 - She Was Pure Like Snowflakes
It was only half way through the day and Santana was at the end of her tether. Her case load was huge. She knew working as a social worker would be a lot to do but she never really expected this.
The brunette stood from her desk, ready for a Starbucks coffee and a muffin, she got so far to the door when suddenly she was thrown to the floor, blood pouring from her nose. "What the FUCK?!" She yelled, holding her nose, looking up at who barged through her door.
"Santana, I am so sorry!" A blonde exclaimed, worried that the damaged she caused would end up in a beat down.
"Dani, it's fine." Santana stood moved to her desk, grabbing some tissue and placing it on her nose, hoping its not broke. "What do you want? What's happened?"
"Santana," Dani started, "We have had a new case, one that is your specialty, young girl, 9 years old, mother has recently died in the last 15 months." Santana nodded telling Dani to continue, "Unknown to relatives, the step father was abusing the child for around 2 months before the mother had died."
Santana grimaced, "What kind of abuse?"
"Physically, no sexual abuse, but there are tests being done as we speak." Dani answered sadly.
"What's the child's name? We'll head to the hospital now, you accompanying me?" She asked grabbing her jacket on the way, "We can also see if you broke my nose." She continued laughing.
"Oh please its a little bump, and I will be accompanying you, boss says I have to learn on the job and you're the best." Santana smiled cheekily. "The child's name is Elizabeth Lucy Corcoran."
The cup that Santana brought to her lips for one last sip of coffee, dropped and smashed on the floor, while her voice shouted, "Shit!"
On the way to the hospital, Santana was gripping the steering wheel, hard, this could not be happening to her best friend's child. She then started thinking of the blonde, Santana knew she had the biggest crush on her best friend and she never did tell her, they lost touch after the first year of college, she did miss her so much.
"Santana, are you okay?" Dani asked from the passenger seat.
"No Dani, I am not, my best friend's kid, who I haven't seen or heard from for years, is in hospital and has no home to go to. On top of that, once we do the first initial check, I don't know whether I can be her social worker because of the connection." Santana took a huge breath and realized, after she said of that, most of the tension released and the grip on the steering wheel lessened.
"Santana, unless you can't get a hold of your old best friend then yeah sure they'll take you off the case. Number one thing after this check is trying to contact Quinn." Dani stated, placing a calming hand on the Latina's thigh.
Santana slightly smiled as she pulled into the hospital, parking in the first spot she saw. Both the blonde and the brunette got out the car and headed in the hospital. Santana taking charge went to the reception, showed her badge and told the nurse who she was looking for.
The nurse smiled, "You lucky, you got her just in time, Elizabeth is freaking out because of the test they want to do on her."
Santana raised an eyebrow, "Why are you smiling, if she is freaking out?"
"Miss Lopez, as soon as she heard heard you would be her case worker, she didn't want to do anything until you got here." The nurse explained, waving her hand, making them follow her.
"She remembers me." Santana whispered, her heart started pounding.
Looking ahead of her, down the hall, they heard something being thrown at the door and a childish shouting, Santana looked at Dani and they both started to jog down the hall, throwing the door open.
"I want to wait for Santana, why is no one listening?!" Beth Corcoran shouted.
Santana stood there eyes wide opened at the 9 year old she saw standing in front of her, looking exactly like her mother when she was her age. Santana shook her head of the image and started walking to Beth.
"Beth," her voice stern, as she bent in front of the young blonde, knowing she wasn't really being seen, "You do not talk to the staff like that, it is rude."
Beth slightly shook her head, her eyes focusing on who was in front of her, she smiled until her smile turned into a frown and she started crying, throwing herself into Santana's body. Santana's arms locking around the young girl, she made sure she was secure before lifting her up to sit them both on the hospital bed, Beth on her lap, chest to chest, Beth's head in her neck.
"Shh, darling girl, Santana's here now." The Latina whispered, rubbing the young girls back, as she continued to cry.
They sat there for around 10 minutes quiet, until Dani touched Santana's shoulder, "San, they have to do the test." She whispered, Santana nodded.
"Sweetie," Santana said softly, bringing a hand up to caress Beth's cheek, "Sweetie, they need to do the test." She felt Beth's body go rigid, "It's okay baby girl, I'll be here with you, all the way."
Beth looked Santana in the eyes, holding out her pinky, "Pinky promise?"
"Pinky promise." She said smiling wrapping her pinky around the smaller pinky. "Dani, can you get the doctor please?" Santana saw Dani leave the room, as she stood up and place Beth on the bed, "You'll be okay lovely girl, I'll be here on this chair, right next to you." She said, grabbing the chair closer to the bed.
The doctor entered the room, Dani trailing behind, with a smile. The doctor stood on the other side of the bed looking at Beth, gently.
"Hi Beth, I am Doctor Rosmund, and I'll be doing a little test today okay?" Beth just nodded, keeping eye contact with Santana at all time, Santana smiled. The doctor understood that Beth didn't want this to really happen so she continued to set up for the rape kit, the test, while continuing to talk. "Well, I have to say, Beth, I am glad we got Sanny here, to help you."
Santana smiled wider at the nickname, grabbing Beth's hand. "Beth is the most strongest girl I have ever met, so please go gentle on her Doc, or else you'll see how we do it in Lima Heights." She saw Beth give her a small smile.
The Doctor laughed, "Oh, so you are the person who taught her that, because she threaten some of my nurses with that."
Santana's eyebrows raised, looking at the doctor and then at Beth, "Beth, what have I told you about using the things you have heard me say?" Santana said sternly.
Beth smiled weakly, "Not to?"
"Exactly, little girl." She gave the girl a pointed look, then turned to the doctor who nodded that she was ready. "Okay, Bethy, Doctor Rosmund is ready to begin, are you?"
Beth's eyes started watering, but nodded anyway. Santana smiled sadly, grabbing her hand with one of hers, as the other one ran through the blonde hair. She looked at the Doctor and nodded.
A standard rape kit is usually supposed to take around 30 mintues, maybe an hour. It was two hours later when Doctor Rosmund left the room with a sad smile to Santana, who gave one back, still singing to Beth.
Doctor Rosmund closed the door and turned to Dani, who she saw with another blonde. She cleared her throat, "Miss Martinez," Dani turned around, "I would just like to say we should have the results later this evening, Beth will be staying in that room for another two days, while doing the kit I noticed that her little tantrum opened some of the wounds on her back and legs, so I will get Doctor Robinson to come and check over them, clean and cover them again."
Dani nodded, "Thank you Doctor Rosmund."
Doctor Rosmund smiled, "Call me Neve, I am unfortunate to say, if you're working with Miss Lopez I am going to see you more than often."
"Thank you, Neve, this is my first case." Dani stated, then looked behind her, "Thank you for the things you do for us, our job might be hard but I am sure yours is too."
"Don't mention it, honey, we don't really talk about, somehow it makes it better." Neve responded, placing a hand on the blonde's arm, "I'll let you get on, I will be back later."
Dani nodded and smiled. The doctor walked away, while Dani turned to the woman.
"We will have the results this evening." She stated.
The woman sighed, wringing her hands, "And when will I be able to see her?"
"We need to get Beth used to the idea first, if everything goes well, then it may be this evening, Mrs McIntosh." Dani smiled slightly.
The blonde returned the smile, tiredly, she lifted her hands to her face, rubbing at her tired eyes. "It's Ms. Fabray. Just finished the divorce in the court, when I got the phone call about Beth."
"I apologize, Ms Fabray." Dani whispered, sitting next to the blonde.
Quinn's head then suddenly shot up, "Did I hear a name earlier?"
"Um," Dani thought, "Yeah, yeah you did, Neve, that's Doctor Rosmund, she is Beth's doctor."
Quinn shook her head, "No, not that name, it sounded a lot like-"
"Well, she is finally asleep, the test took a lot out of h-" Santana stood there, in the middle of the hallway, in a hospital, looking at her one true, forever long, crush. "Quinn?" She whispered, eyes wide.
Quinn stood up, "San," She started walking to the Latina, her pace got quicker and her threw herself at Santana who, while thanking Sue Sylvester for her workouts, caught her. "She promised me no harm would get to her, she promised, San!" Quinn wailed.
Santana looked at Dani who was wide eyed looking at the blonde sobbing in her chest. Santana looked back to Quinn, wrapping her arms around the curvy blonde. "Shh, honey." She whispered maneuvering them to the seats, seating the blonde on her lap sideways. "I know she promised, she promised all of us." Santana lent her head back looking at the ceiling, "But sometimes, even smart people get blinded."
Quinn tucked her head into the Latina's collar bone, remembering the times when they would be in this position but she would be stupidly crying over a boy. "I didn't even know she was ill." The blonde whispered.
"None of us did, babes, that's what hurts the most." Santana replied, whispering. "Quinn, who told you about Beth?"
The blonde looked up, staring into the chocolate pools of her best friends eyes, biting her lip. "Rachel did."
Santana nodded, "How is she? We know how she can be, especially after." Santana stopped herself short, she couldn't say his name.
"She, um," Quinn started, trying to get her own mind off Finn, "She is doing well, considering, Jesse is keeping her well." The blonde grabbed the brunette's hand, "How are you, San?"
Santana looked down, watching as the blonde played with her fingers, "I am good, work is good, well until I heard Beth's name, I might not be able to carry on the case because of the connection." She saw Quinn nodded, and noticed the blonde was playing with the wedding band on her left hand, knowing what she was really asking. "Divorced for 2 years now," She saw Quinn's shocked face, "We didn't love each other, but we did love each other enough to let go, we are still friends. She working in Europe now." Quinn's eyes were asking her to continue, "Lucas is good, he's with my mother when I work, and when he's not with my mother, he is in school."
"I bet he is so smart now." Quinn stated, smiling, looking into the chocolate ponds again.
"Oh you know he is," Santana smirked. "She wants to be with you Quinn, she wants to be in your life."
Quinn choked, getting up off Santana's lap, "Really?" Santana just nodded, "Oh my goodness, that is something I needed to hear after today."
"We just need to do some background checks on you just in case, and a check on your house as well." Santana smiled, loving the look of happiness on Quinn's face.
"Miss Lopez?" Santana turned to see Dr Robinson.
"Hi, Ari." She replied, "Are you here for Beth?" Dr Robinson nodded, turning to the door, with Santana following behind, she looked back to Quinn and Dani, "Dani, could you take Quinn to the office, get those back ground checks done as soon as possible and get the check on her house done as well?"
Dani nodded but Quinn interrupted, "San, there's a problem with my house."
Santana looked to the doctor who nodded and turned to the nurses station, Santana turned back to Quinn, "What do you mean there's a problem with your house?"
"I haven't got one, I lost it in the divorce." Quinn answered.
"WHAT?" Santana exclaimed.
"Sanny!" They all heard Beth shouting in panic for the Latina. Santana looked at Quinn, "We will talk later, get the checks done for yourself and we will talk about the house later." She watch as Quinn nodded and Dani lead her out of the hallway and the hospital.
Santana walked towards Beth's room, calling Dr Robinson as well. They both entered the hospital room, seeing Beth breathing hard and sat upright in the bed.
"Hi Bethy, are you okay, honey?" The Latina asked, as she sat on the edge of the bed. Beth shook her head and snuggled into the side of Santana. Santana run her hand through the young blondes hair, "What's wrong, honey?"
"I heard you shouting, and I am in pain." Beth answered, her head, very well, mashed against Santana's bosom.
"Where's the pain, honey?" She asked, looking at Dr Robinson, she saw Beth point at her back and her leg. "Okay, well, Dr Robinson is here to clean them up, give you meds and patch them back up, okay?" Beth nodded, snuggling more into Santana. The brunette smiled, trying to release herself from the girls hold, only to receive a whine. When she was off the bed, Beth just continued to whine and reach for her. Again this made Santana smile, her son, Lucas, was exactly the same and if Santana didn't know any better she would have thought Beth was at least five, she was a small girl.
"Baby girl, Santana has to sit here so Dr Robinson can patch you up, okay?" She only received a nod and watched as Dr Robinson clean and cover the cuts on Beth's back and right leg, her blood boiling as she did not see the welts before.
"Okay Beth, we are all done now." Dr Robinson said, smiling, "No more fighting or throwing things at the staff, okay?" Beth nodded, blushing at her behaviour. "I'll said a nurse in for more pain relief."
Santana nodded, smiling her thanks, as she climbed into the bed with Beth, the young blonde curling herself against Santana once again, painfully, pushing her head into Santana's bosom. Santana watched as the nurse pumped Beth up with pain relief and felt Beth get heavier as she succumbed to sleep.
Santana finally returned to her home at around 9pm, completely spent. She left the hospital after she made sure Dani was okay with staying there for the night and when she knew the Quinn was put up into a hotel for the night. She shook her head, she would think about that tomorrow.
She said goodbye to her mother, making her way upstairs, to see her sleeping sons face. She smiled, leaning down to place a kiss on his forehead.
She returned downstairs, turning into the kitchen, pouring herself a large glass of red wine and throwing herself on her couch.
"Let's see what kind of crap is on the TV then." She turned the TV and flicked through the channels when she just kept it on a movie channel in the end, not really paying until something on the coffee table peeked it.
She sat up and looked at the magazine, obviously her brothers, hidden under the newspaper. When she pulled it out, she realized it was a men's dirty magazine. "Damn it, George, pick up after yourself, Lucas could find this," She said cursing her 18 year old brother, who lives with her, after an argument with their parents.
Looking back at the magazine, she shrugged to herself, "Might as well read it, what's the harm? I haven't got any action in 2 years." She flicked through all the nude woman, one right after another. She took a sip of wine while she got the centerfold.
Her wine was forced out of her lips as she started to cough, wide eyed, "Unholy Quinn Fabray!" She shouted.
There in the centerfold was holy Quinn Fabray in lovely deep red lace panties, laying on her back, blonde hair spread behind her, arm over her breasts and one hell of a dirty smirk on her face.
"Well, fuck me." Santana breathed.
