Fabrittanill: How I Met Your Mothers
By DaBillmann
A/N Each chapter will be a stand alone scene, mostly dealing with Bill and the Unholy Trinity in high school. Some fairly short, some fairly long, some containing songs performed by Bill and the girls or for Bill and/or the girls. Again, all are stand alone, but all are connected telling the story of how the foursoem came together. Listed just as a Glee story rather than a crossover as only Glee characters and OC's will be used. Rated M to be safe for language, and at least references to spanking of children and teens, and at least references to teenage sexual themes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any of the characters or any of that stuff. Bill Gordon and any other OC's are all mine.
Chapter One: When Bill Met Santana
Bill Gordon (NOT Billy! He WAS five years old after all) had been excited about today for weeks. It was his first day of school! He was going to learn to read and write better (he already could a little) and make new friends, and according to the housekeeper learn where a place called Brazil was. It all sounded so new and exciting! But now that it was here, he was, well, a little sad.
The morning had started off well. He usually had his breakfast in the kitchen with Mrs. Bryant like he always did, this morning he was all dressed up and having breakfast in the dining room with his parents! He really only ever got to eat with them on special occaisions. He had sat there, chattering away, never really noticing that all his Dad was saying was "Uh huh" and all Mom was saying was "That's nice Dear."
Then what he thought was the best part of all. His beloved grandmother, Granny Maggie, had gotten there! Granny Maggie was his most favorite person in the world and she came to see him on his first day of school!
Then, his Mom and Dad told him that they were both very busy this morning and Granny Maggie would be taking him. He'd nodded, understanding. Dad worked real hard, that was why they lived in this big house, and had a housekeeper and everything and Mom had a lot of meetings to go to, so they were busy a lot. Luckily, Granny Maggie came over a lot, and Mrs. Bryant was really nice. So, his Mom had patted him on top of his head and told him to have a good day, and his Dad had lightly bopped his nose with one finger and said "Make me proud, boy." Mom sometimes called him "Dear" but Dad only ever called him "Bill" or "Boy". Granny Maggie called him all kinds of names.
Then, they'd gotten to school, and Bill had gotten sad. All the other kids were being dropped off by their parents, mostly their Mom's, but, some their Dad's. As much as Bill loved Granny Maggie, he sometimes wished his Mom or Dad would do stuff like this with him.
"Hello Mrs. Talbert," Granny Maggie said to the pretty lady about his Mom's age. "I'm Margaret Helman, and this is my Grandson Bill." She leaned forward and stage whispered "NEVER call him Billy!"
Mrs. Talbert nodded and looekd down at Bill, with his jet black hair, and expressive, soulful green eyes. "Hello Bill! I'm glad you're here. We're going to have lots of fun today."
"Nice to meet you," said Bill politely, giving her a big grin, that held a lot of mischeif. God! He really WAS an adorable little boy!
Granny Maggie turned to talk to Mrs. Talbert for awhile, so Bill looked aroudn the class. His eyes lit up. There was a piano in the room! He wandered over to it, and started touching the keys. He could play the piano real good. His Mom and Dad used to let him come out of his room when they had a party so he could play for their guests. His Mom had once told him he was different than other kids, he was musically prodigal, or something. He already played the piano, and Granny Maggie was teaching him to play guitar, and teaching him to dance. Bill could sing good too, but he was better at playing piano.
He automatically sat down and started playing one of his favorite Mozart pieces. All conversation in the classroom stopped as everybody watched him He was used to being watched when he played, so he just kept playing. After a few, Mrs. Talbert and Granny Maggie came over.
"That was really nice Sweetheart," said Granny Maggie. "But, that's not your piano. You really should ask Mrs. Talbert before you start playing."
Bill looked up, wide eyed. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Talbert," he said. "I didn't mean to be rude."
"It's ok,"she said smiling. "But why don't you say bye to your Grandma so we can start class?"
Granny Maggie hugged and kissed him and told him to have a super day, then Mrs. Talbert led him to a table telling him to sit here.
Bill looked over to see he was sitting next to a very pretty little girl who had long hair that was as black as his was, and CARAMEL colored skin. She was the only one in the class with skin like that, and he thought it was SO pretty.
"What was that song you were playing?" she asked.
"That was the Piano Sonata in A major by Mozart," said Bill. "It's one of my favorites!"
"It was pretty," said the girl, somehow both boldly and shyly. "I wish I could play piano! I can sing though. My Mami says I sing like an angel."
"That's nice," said Bill, already really liking this girl. He thought her name for her Mom was nice. It sounded a lot like "Mommy" but, not quite. "Oh, I'm sorry. Mom always says to 'member my manners. I'm Bill Gordon."
"Hi," she said smiling big. "I'm Santana Lopez." She had such a pretty smile!
Mrs. Talbert cleared her throat and the two decided to be quiet and listen.

Santana Lopez sat dejectedly in a chair in the Principal's office. This was a nightmare!
The day had started off so good! Papi couldn't take her to school because he was a doctor and very busy, but, he HAD set up his 'pointments to start late today so he could see Santana and Mami off when they left, then go to his office and make people not be sick anymore. He'd given her a big hug and kiss and told her how proud he was of her. Then Mami had taken her to school and innerduced her to her teacher, and then, she'd met Bill. Bill was the neatest boy Santana had ever met! They had been inseperable all day, sitting together during story time and snack time, coloring together, and even choosing cots next to each other at nap time.
Then, a mean boy named Davey Karofsky had come over at recess and started picking on Santana for her caramel colored skin and her Mami's funny accent. Bill had gotten real mad and punched Davey. He and Davey started fighting, then two of Davey's friends had ganged up on Bill, so, being a good friend, Santana had started throwing rocks at them. The next thing she knew, her Mami and Bill's Abuela were talking to the Principal and she was sitting next to Bill in the outer office, trying not to cry. Bill reached over and held her hand.
"It'll be ok, Tana," he promised. She looked over at him and tried to smile. His words were brave, but she could see in his eyes he was scared too.
A moment later, both Mami and Bill's Abuela came out and shaked hands with the Principal, then turned to the kids looking very unhappy.
"Come with me, young man," said Bill's Abuela, taking his hand, as Santana's Mami took hers. "Fighting the first day!"
"Come, Mija," said Mami. "We have a lot of talking to do."
Bill pulled away from his Abuela and tugged at Mami's coat.
"Please don't punish Tana, Mrs. Lopez," he said plaintively. "It was all MY fault! I hit Davey first. Tana only got involved when the other two jumped in. it really wasn't her fault at all!"
Santana saw her Mami keep a stern face, but she could see her eyes soften. "Thank you for saying that, William," she said. "But Santana should have just gotten a teacher. She made her own decisions and will face her own punishment." She turned to Santana. "Tell William goodbye, Santana," she ordered.
"Bye bye Bill," said Santana, trying not to cry.
Bill looked at her with a brave smile. "Bye Tana," he said. "See you tomorrow."
And with that the two little ones went off to face their doom.

The next day, after Granny Maggie dropped him off, Bill went looking for Santana. His Dad had been real mad, saying Bill had "embarassed him" and Bill had gotten a spanking and been sent to bed without dinner. He didn't care though. Not much anyway. It DID hurt! He was more worried about Santana.
He found Santana in the coat room. They were the only two in there.
"Hi," she said shyly.
"Hi," said Bill. "Are you ok? Did you get in a lot of trouble?"
"I'm ok," said Santana. "Mami spanked me, but then when it was all over, she hugged me and told me she loved me and f'rgave me. I told her what happened, and she told me she was proud of us for sticking up for each other, but that fighting is never the answer."
Bill frowned a bit. That did not sound like a spanking at his house! Dad just spanked him and sent him to bed, then they never talked about it again. "I'm sorry she spanked you," he said, sweetly. "if I could, I'da made her spank me instead.
He saw Santana beam at him for that. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for protecting me from Davey," she said. "And for trying to protect me from Mami. You're my best friend. Now come ON! Mrs. Talbert said we get to work with CLAY today!"
Bill touched his cheek where Santana had kissed him, and let her take his hand and drag him into the class. "You're my best friend too," he said. And somehow he knew, she always would be.

A/N2: As the Summary says, this is a companion piece to my story Eight Is ENOUGH." Both stories stand well on their own, but this one gives the history for the other one. Hope you enjoyed and reviews are always appreciated.
