Author's note: Okay. I probably shouldn't be doing this. But I am. Ever since the first mention of having Sara Ramirez play Santana's aunt (whether as her Grey's Anatomy character Callie or a completely different character), I've had this idea in my head of how it could pan out.

Much like my other AU story, I currently have no idea if I will bother to continue this. I should actually be working on said other AU story, but...there's a hurricane going on and I move into college in the next two days, so...yeah.

This first part is just a set-up for the rest. Bare with me.


Santana Lopez had a younger sister. Not the typical, "two years apart" younger sibling, but rather, the not-so-typical, "fourteen years apart" younger sibling. Along with her not-so-typical younger sister, Santana Lopez had not-so-typical young parents. She was entering her senior year of high school and her parents were still in their thirties.

Very few people in the glee club, let alone the entire school, knew about Santana's family. She had mentioned that her father was a doctor and that she grew up on "the wrong side of the tracks," but that had been the extent of it.

Sam had been the first to question the existence of Lima Heights Adjacent, which he did so during their brief dating stint, but all Santana did was scoff and continue to devour his lips. If anyone had bothered to look at a map (which Santana doubted that anyone in the glee club knew how to actually read), they could see that Lima Heights actually existed, and it was indeed on the other side of the train tracks.

"But it's just that, you seem so rich, y'know?" Sam had explained. "You say that you're from this ghetto place, but I don't think I can believe that, what with the technology and clothes you own."

Santana was pissed that he had bothered to doubt her "ghetto heritage," but she also didn't bother to correct him.

Emilio Lopez grew up in Lima Heights Adjacent to a hard-working, yet still poor, family. He knew all about hardships and overcoming obstacles, and managed to get a scholarship to Duke University. Emilio spent over eight years at Duke, going from undergraduate student to medical student in order to become a general surgeon.

It was during his third year as a med student that Emilio Lopez fell completely and irrevocably in love with Aria Torres.

Aria Torres was from Miami, Florida, born into a wealthy family. Her father had big plans for her, and she intended to follow through with them. She wanted to become a lawyer, and the proud smile on her father's face when she had received her acceptance letter to Duke was enough to solidify her dream.

But none of her dreams or father's plans had included getting pregnant as a college freshman.

And that was where Santana came in.

Her mother had to eventually drop out of college while her father continued to power through medical school. Her wealthy grandfather had been originally unhappy with everything that had occurred, especially since Emilio was at least seven years older than his precious daughter, but soon grew to accept the events as Emilio graduated from medical school and gained job opportunities back in his home town of Lima, Ohio.

Aria was just happy that everything had worked out and Santana, well, she was only a baby at the time.

Brittany was the only one that Santana every told anything to. Sure, Quinn knew a few things from their time on the Cheerios, and Puck had actually been to her house before, but Brittany knew everything.

One time on the bus ride home from an away football game, Puck had been talking about Santana's mother and referred to her as a MILF. Brittany, who had been sitting with Santana and Quinn a few seats up, turned around and said, "You should see her aunt."

"Dude, Lopez, you have a hot aunt, too?"

"Don't get your hopes up, Puckerman. I hardly ever see her; she lives all the way in like, Seattle or something."

"So lame," Puck said, shoving his bag underneath the seat he was sharing with Finn. "What's her name?"

Santana opened her mouth to answer but Brittany interjected with, "Cally-opey."

Quinn snickered and Puck exchanged a glance with Finn.

"It's Calliope, Britt." Santana corrected, shaking her head.

Brittany scrunched her nose. "Oh, right." She turned around again to face the football players. "I saw a picture of her once. She's totally hot and pretty."

"That's a hot name. What is she doin' all the way in Seattle?" Puck asked, a tint of eagerness in his voice.

"She's like, a doctor or something. I think she's an orthopedic surgeon."

"She does surgeries on feet?" Finn asked, receiving a glare from Quinn.

"No, you idiot," Santana snapped. "Orthopedic means bones."

Finn nodded and Puck laughed at him.

Puck, Quinn, and Brittany remained to be the only ones to know anything about Santana's family (it wasn't like Finn could remember anything from one bus ride conversation). They knew that Doctor Lopez had refurnished his childhood home in Lima Heights, adding extra rooms and a backyard pool, meaning that yes, Santana did grow up on "the wrong side of the tracks." They knew that when she was in eighth grade, Santana's mother had given birth to Clarita Lopez, making Santana an older sister. They knew that Mr. Lopez was the highest paid surgeon in all of Western Ohio and that Mrs. Lopez, unable to fully pursue her dreams of becoming a lawyer, taught political science at Wright State University.

Doctor and Mrs. Lopez were young, wealthy, hard-working, and respectable, with an older daughter that was sharp and full of potential for a bright future, and a young daughter that was thriving through her childhood.

However, Santana had a tendency to keep things hidden, which is something that she probably got from her mother.

Santana Lopez had a not-so-typical younger sister, not-so-typical young parents, not-so-typical wealthy grandparents that lived in Florida (okay, maybe that was typical), and a not-so-typical gay aunt in Seattle that her mother forbade her from ever contacting or even mentioning.

It didn't exactly help that Santana Lopez was a not-so-typical (or maybe typical; it was not like she bothered to do research, or anything) gay teenager herself.
