AN: Santana and Brittany around 17, Rachel, 5/6. Quinn, 8.
Brittany opened the door that separated the front hallway to the living room "Girls! Can you come down here please?" Brittany called up the stairs for her two younger siblings that must have been playing in their room upstairs. Santana looked up from her phone and locked it before she threw it next to her on the sofa and moved to give Brittany some space. Brittany sat down next to her and waited for the youngsters upstairs to come down.
"Yeah?" Rachel asked as she walked in. Her small head popping through the door seeing if she heard right and was needed. Brittany signalled her to come in and Quinn followed closely behind her. Quinn and Rachel sat down on the table in front of the sofa and waited to hear what their sisters had to say.
"Dad just texted us" Santana started. Quinn knew immediately where the conversation was going "And he said that Mom has finally gone into labour!" Brittany exclaimed happily.
"Yay" Quinn deadpanned sarcastically.
"What?" Santana furrowed her eyebrows "Don't you want another baby sister or baby brother?" she asked confused at why the two younger siblings weren't excited as they were or excited as they expected.
"I don't want another baby sister or a baby brother!" Rachel moaned standing up. Brittany put her hand out to stop her from leaving the room "Why not Rae?" she asked softly.
"Because I don't!" Rachel stomped her foot and crossed her arms. Santana sighed and shared a look with Brittany before looking back to the tiny girl "Look Rachel, just because we have another sister or a brother now, doesn't mean Mom and Dad are going to forget about you"
Rachel looked up at her sisters. Even standing up she was still shorter then them she was so small "They forget about us years ago! Now there going to extra forget about us" she pouted.
The pout. The adorable pout. Brittany could never resist it and went forward to wrap her arms around her little sister "I know Rae, but maybe this baby can bring us together" she looked at Santana who didn't look like she believed it herself.
"Mom and Dad never forgot about us, they're just really busy" Brittany said.
"Why do you always stick up for them Brittany?" Quinn scowled "Oh yeah, because when they're not here you get to boss us around" she spat. Santana's eyes snapped open "Quinn! That's not true, we're just looking after you because they can't"
"Exactly" Quinn threw her arms up. She got off the table and rubbed Rachel's back "Come on Rach, let's go upstairs" she said.
"No, your both staying here" Santana said grabbing onto Quinn's arm and putting a hand on Rachel's back to stop her struggling in Brittany's arms "Get off me Britt!"
Brittany let go with sadness in her eyes. She didn't understand why her sisters were feeling this way and it made her upset to know they were.
Rachel and Quinn sat back on the table as Santana's phone buzzed and a text message popped up. Santana reached over and read it and smiled slightly before dropping her phone down again and turning around "Mom had a baby girl"
"So what!" Rachel growled before Brittany could voice her happiness. Brittany's smile faded as Rachel stood up and stormed out of the room, slamming the door extra loud behind her.
"That was surprising" Brittany commented looking to Santana "I thought she would be happy?"
"Me too"
Quinn rolled her eyes and the Latina noticed "What is it Quinn?" Santana snapped. Quinn uncrossed her arms and stated "I don't see why you act like you don't know what's going on, it's obvious she thinks everyone is going to forget about her now this new baby is here"
"We won't" Brittany insisted. Quinn just stood up from the table "And I don't think the same thing, I know the same thing, she thinks, I know, it's happened before and it's going to happen to me again" Quinn sneered before the eight year old turned around with her pony flicking behind her and walked out.
"That was also surprising" Brittany said as she leant back into the sofa. Santana nodded "I can't help but think they're right though - not about us, about how Mom and Dad forgot about us years ago and now they have a new baby when she grows up we'll be the ones taking care of her"
"It happened with Quinn, it happened with Rachel" Brittany agreed "But let's not make this into something it's not, maybe this time will be different and we won't forget about the other two like Mom and Dad probably already have"
"Yeah" Santana nodded "We better not or we'll never hear the end of it, now let's go get to the hospital to see our baby sister!" Santana squealed and Brittany was quick to follow.
"No!" Rachel screamed.
"Yes!" Santana screamed back. They were walking into the hospital and Rachel did not want to have to go in. She struggled against her sister's hand and tried to pull away.
"Listen, if you don't want to go in and see your new sister then don't, but stay out here and don't move" Santana warned. Santana made sure Rachel and Quinn was seated outside the room before she walked in with Brittany.
"I hate babies" Rachel mumbled.
"We can't give up Rachel" Quinn said "We have to do something, maybe we can mail the baby away or something?"
"Or ship it to Paris?"
"The Essex?"
"Mexico?"
"Australia?"
Rachel sighed "But I doubt it will fit in the box"
"Rachel? Quinn?" that was their father's voice. He waked out of the room and Rachel forgot about everything when she and Quinn jumped up and hugged their father who they hadn't seen for ages. He picked them up and cuddled them "I missed you too" he said.
Rachel took in the smell of her father. He smelt of aftershave "Don't you guys want to come in? We're taking the family photo?" he said persuasively. Quinn looked at Rachel over her father and nodded.
He brought them into the room and Brittany smiled at seeing them and then looked down to the baby girl in her arms. Rachel couldn't help but stare at the young baby while Quinn looked towards her mother. Their father gave the nurse his camera and made sure not to have it on flash and just a sounding click so they didn't scare the new baby. He signalled everyone to get onto the bed and they all crowded around with the baby now in the mother's arms.
