Santana let out an annoyed huff as she walked into Ember Jackson Elementary School. Santana wasn't an absent parent in any way, but she avoided going to her daughter's school whenever she could. Sadly though, she couldn't avoid a teachers conference about her daughter's recent behaviors in class. This wasn't uncommon, but Santana had thought things might be different this year. Her one and only daughter, Fiorella, had followed her mother's footsteps in being the class troublemaker.

Making her way down the young kids hallway, Santana tried her best to find the right classroom. She had skipped the meet the teacher day, so Santana wasn't even sure what Fio's teacher looked like yet. That's what being a single working parent does to you.

When she finally located the right classroom, Santana knocked on the door before entering. "Hi, I'm Santana Lopez. Fio's mom. You wanted to talk." Santana fidgeted and was a little taken aback when the teacher turned around smiling. She looked nothing like Santana expected, most of the teachers at the school were in their late 40s.

"So nice to meet you! I'm Dani Santos." She extended her hand with a bright smile on her face and beaming eyes. Santana couldn't help noticing how gorgeous she was.

Santana was caught in a moment of looking before she realized she hadn't shaken Dani's hand yet. She quickly fixed her actions and returned the smile. "It's nice to meet you too."

Dani led them over to her desk and pulled out a chair for Santana to sit on. Santana still was curious on what Fio had done to earn a parent/teacher conference. When Santana asked her about it, Fio claimed she had no idea what she did. "So let's cut to the chase. What did she do?"

Dani's smile seemed to fall before clearing her throat. "Well-um it's not exactly one thing. It's been a series of things over the last few weeks."

Santana nodded, "Listen, I know she has had some problems in the past and I know she can be a handful but-"

Dani stopped her, "I know she's a great kid. It's just, she's been acting up more than usual lately. Especially with her classmates."

"What is she doing to her classmates?"

"Fio has been saying some mean things to some other girls. Using language that isn't exactly appropriate for her age. She also has a sassy comeback to everything, but I'm sure you are aware of that." Dani added the last bit with a smile hoping to cool the air.

Santana laughed and nodded. "Who do you think she got it from?" It was evident to both of them that there was no mystery to where she got the language or sassiness from. Being spicy was in the Lopez genes and Santana would just have to talk to Fio about taking it down a notch.

Dani let out an adorable laugh before responding, "I think I might have a clue."

Santana relaxed a bit now that the focus was off of her daughter. "Thanks for letting me know. I've been working so much, I haven't been on top things lately. I'll make sure to talk to her about it."

"That sounds perfect." Dani looked down at Santana's hand before asking, "I don't see a ring on your finger. Are you single?"

Santana was taken aback by Dani's bluntness. She had to give her props though on her bravery. Santana was wanting to ask the same thing. "Yeah, I'm single. And no, I've never been married." Santana fidgeted with her hands before adding, "Fio's father is out of the picture. I hardly even know who he is."

Dani seemed sad and a little captivated with Santana's story. "I'm sorry."

Santana gave off a small smile. "Obviously I'm no gold-star lesbian. I'm glad it happened though. I love Fio more than anything. Wouldn't trade her for the world."

Santana and Dani locked eyes in silence. Both of them were lost for a second. Dani raised her eyebrows seductively. "I'm a gold star."

Santana smirked, "I don't believe you."

"Swear on my life. I went from diapers to girls. Well not exactly, but no boys paid attention to me until way after I realized I liked girls."

Santana leaned back and crossed her arms. "Interesting." It was hard not to get lost in Dani's eyes. Santana was shaken out of her gaze when she felt her phone vibrate and Rachel Berry pop up on her screen. "Sorry, it's the babysitter."

Dani shrugged it off, "You're fine. I think we were just finishing up." She smiled before grabbing a sticky note from behind her desk and scribbling some stuff on it. "Here's my number in case you need anything else." Dani winked before Santana took the piece of paper. She smiled as she answered her phone on her way out. She turned back and gave one last wave before shutting the door behind her.
