Chapter 1
All was quiet in a suburban neighbourhood, situated in Lima, Ohio. Shelby Corcoran, a woman of 37, was sitting outside on her porch relaxing, before her 'monsters' woke up. She loved all three of her children, but they were terrors. Noah "Puck" Corcoran was 7 years old, and he was a boy of mischief, he loved pranks and games and football, his sister Santana Corcoran was 6 years old, and she was exactly the same, loved mischief, pranks and was just like her older brother, a little tomboy. Then there was her youngest, a spitting image of herself, and a very loud voice to match, was Rachel, 4 years old, she had her tantrums, a lot, but this little was the apple of her mother's eye.
Shelby smiled at the thought of her youngest; she would probably be in her mother's bed now waiting for her to get back for some cuddle. Still smiling, Shelby was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a van driving around the corner and down the street. As it got closer Shelby realised it was a moving truck.
"Hmm, someone must be moving into the house next door." Shelby pondered out loud.
"Who you talking to Mama?" Shelby jumped, not realising the door had opened, standing by the door was Santana. "Sorry, Mama, I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay, sweetie." Shelby smiled and opened her arms, to which Santana jumped into them. "And I was just talking to myself." Santana smiled and cuddled further into her mother. Both mother and daughter stayed there watching the moving men unload in the house. A few minutes later they saw a black four by four enter the drive. First person to step out was a beautiful mature, probably mid-30s, blonde woman step out of the driver's side. She noticed Shelby and Santana on the porch. She smiled at them and waved, she continued to back of the car and let out a girl around Santana's age, following behind the little girl was another little girl around Puck's age.
"Come on honey bee lets go say hi." Shelby said, continuing to stare at the woman, she was mesmerising. Shelby has always been attracted to woman, all through college she was with woman. Then one day she found a caring and sensitive man, married him had three lovely children and then he ran off with another woman. So the blonde beauty was a change to Shelby. Shelby walked off the porch with Santana in tow and approached the blonde with a smile. "Hey, welcome to the neighbourhood, I'm Shelby and this is Santana"
"Wow, Santana that's a beautiful name, just like the owner" the blonde winked at Santana and chuckled when Santana blushed. "Hi, I'm Judy, and these little rascals are Quinn, Brittany and this little shy boy in my arms is Sam"
Shelby looked at all three kids they were as pretty as their mother. "You have beautiful children." Shelby smiled, she noticed that Santana, Brittany and Quinn started talking like they knew each other for years. "Don't you love it when children are care free and just connect straight away" Judy watched the girls and nodded smiling. "So where do you hail from?" Shelby asked.
"Only from Columbus, so not that far." Judy replied. "Is Santana your only child?" as Judy asked Rachel came running out as fast as her legs could carry her stopping at the top of the porch steps with tears running down her face.
"Mama, Mama!" Rachel shouted distressed. Shelby ran over to her and picked her up, cuddling her close.
"Hush now honey mama is here" she said soothingly. She walked back to Judy. "To answer your question, I have got this little munchkin and a brute of a boy upstairs probably snoring like a wilder beast."
Judy was in love with Rachel, 'Oh my goodness she is such a cutie! I just wanna hug her forever. Hey there cutie.' Judy said smiling at Rachel, Rachel just snuggled into her mother's neck not liking the attention. Shelby laughed and rubbed Rachel's back
Santana pulled on Judy's trouser leg wanting attention from the blonde as well. 'Miss Judy, Rachel is really really shy, she don't talk to no one. She's a momma's girl.' Rachel's head rose out of her mother's neck and poked out her tongue.
'Santana don't be mean to your sister!' Shelby scolded.
Judy chuckled 'Do you get this a lot?'
Shelby laughed with her; you couldn't help but smile at the musical laugh that came from Judy, that's all she's done today. 'Yeah, constant back and forth.'
Judy laughed, 'Yeah my two girls are exactly the same always bickering and Sam just sits there in wonder.'
Shelby laughed, 'All puck does is scoff and walk away' Judy laughed as well. 'Well Judy, I better let you get on, you probably have a lot of unpacking' Judy nodded with a sad but thoughtful look. Santana looked at her mom then at Judy and smiled.
'Or' Santana started 'You could come over and have breakfast momma does awesome pancakes you hafta try them!' Santana squealed the last bit, Shelby Looked at her daughter in a surprised and wondering manner while Judy laughed.
'You can come over for breakfast. As Santana said I do awesome pancakes' Shelby said winking. Judy smiled and then nodded.
Shelby escorted everybody into the house and got them settled into the living room, Santana started to talk to Judy about the power rangers while Shelby sat Rachel on to the sofa. She watched as Quinn walked up to Rachel and introduced herself, Rachel was in wonder. 'Are you a pwincess?'
Shelby snorted and left to the kitchen and started on the pancakes Santana so kindly set for her to do. In the middle of making the first batch she heard someone enter the kitchen.
'You have a lovely home, Shelby'
Shelby smiled hearing the goddess' voice. 'Thank you Judy. I'm sorry you were ambushed here by my daughter'
Judy laughed her twinkling laugh and shook her head 'no not ambushed, persuaded I like to think' Judy moved beside Shelby slightly brushing the small of her back.
Shelby shivered and smiled in Judy's direction. "So Judy, where's the husband, surely he should be doing all the unpacking while you sit there looking gorgeous."
Judy laughed and blushed, then looking down she swallowed. "He cheated on me with another skank, and after that came out and we were in the middle of getting a divorce, it also came out that he had five fucking others on the go while I was at home feeling useless and making sure the kids were okay and healthy" she banged her fist hard on the kitchen counter, Shelby flinched, "I felt so fucking useless and used and abused." Shelby's head shot up and looked concerned at Judy, she was about to talk when Santana came walking in.
Shelby touches Judy's clenched fist and looks her in the eye, "We can talk more, later, if you would like"
Judy smiles, teary, "I'd like that, thank you Shelby" Shelby smiled then turned to see all the kids were standing in kitchen looking the parents.
Quinn stepped forward and grabbed her mum's hand, "Mommy, are you okay?"
Judy smiled and knelt down to Quinn's level. "I'm fine sweetie," she looked up at me and smiled "Absolutely fine", she hugged Quinn then picked her which earned a squeal. "Right, Shelby has kindly mad us some pancakes. Let's go eat them."
They went and sat at the table eating the lovely breakfast, after Shelby went to wake up Puck. Everyone was talking, Judy had Sam on her lap, and Shelby had Rachel in hers. Santana had started to talk to Judy about her school, how popular she was and her best friends. Shelby just knew by looking at Santana's face whenever Judy complimented her that Santana was smitten.
"Santana, stop boasting to Judy." Shelby said laughing. Santana blushed and returned to her pancakes.
Judy laughed, while rubbing Santana's back. "Don't worry about your Mom, Babe. She just a meanie." Judy stage whispered, making the whole table laugh. Santana hugged Judy and made sure she stayed close to her, loving the attention.
"I'm a meanie?" Shelby question, looking fake hurt. "Well, I think that Little Miss Perfect should not have any more pancakes." The kids laughed at their parents being silly and mean to each other and Quinn wanted in on the funniness.
"You're not a meanie, Shelly. I like you." Quinn smiled at Shelby and Shelby smiled back.
Shelby had beckoned Quinn over to her seat. Shifting Rachel onto one knee, she lifted Quinn on the other. "Thanks, honey, I think I have been replaced as Santana's cook now, not her mother."
The jokes and laughter carried on till everything was cleared off the table and cleaned. Judy was sitting the living room on the sofa with Santana clutched to her side, Quinn on her other side and Sam and Rachel on her lap, while Brittany and Puck were sitting on the floor by her feet. They were all engrossed with the TV.
Judy just loved it. It was like one big family. When Shelby entered the room, smiling at what she saw. She was un-noticed, so she snapped a picture. She was so happy at the way the kids were together and how polite they were with Judy. She realised she was going to love having the new next door neighbors.
