Chapter 4: Reaction
"So let me get this straight," Franchesca Lopez, Santana's aunt and Rosa and Cass's mum, she's shaking baby Madalyn, Antonio and Marcos little sister, on her knee in an attempt to get her to stop crying "You were supposed to be rehearsing but my lovely sister in law decided it would be a great idea to have a family reunion on the same day?"
"Pretty much" Santana says
"You can still rehearse" Rafael, Franchesca's husband tells them "If you know any of the songs you can perform them"
"We could do the mash up in fairness" Quinn says to the rest of the glee club
"Who sings that?" Rafael asks
"Me and Brittana"
"Attention everybody!" Rafael calls, silencing the room "Santana, Brittany and Quinn have a performance for us!" He drags the girls up to the stage and Santana pulls the cd out of her bag, the music starts, Quinn comes on stage
QUINN:
You're so scared to fall in love, cause it leaves you in the dust, every time, every time
Santana walks on to join her
SANTANA:
So you see us all the same, and there words are just a game, spiting lies, dirty lies
Finally Brittany enters
BRITTANY:
I know you know there's something here, but you cannot get past the fear,
I can help you make it clear
Santana reaches her hands out to Brittany and Quinn
SANTANA:
So when you feel, like trying again, reach out take my hand, see how great it could be,
Quinn grabs on
QUINN:
So fall in love, with someone you can trust, who will never give up, cause you're all that I need
Brittany takes Santana's hand
BRITTANY:
Baby take a chance on me (QUINN+SANTANA: Oh oh oh)
Baby take a chance on me (QUINN+SANTANA: Oh oh oh)
Baby take a chance on me (QUINN+SANTANA: Oh oh oh)
Baby take a chance on me (QUINN+SANTANA: Oh oh oh)
Quinn comes to the front and the other two fall back
QUINN:
You got nothing to lose baby, but you won't know if you don't try, please don't leave me asking why
Quinn goes back and Santana comes front and centre with the other two flanking her
SANTANA:
So when you're ready to choose baby, I'll be there with open arms, with the same love, in my heart…
Santana holds onto the note and the other two start the next bit
QUINN+BRITTANY:
Keep bleeding I keep keep bleeding in love, Keep bleeding I keep keep bleeding in love
Santana joins in
QUINN+BRITTANY+SANTANA:
Keep bleeding I keep keep bleeding in love, Keep bleeding I keep keep bleeding in love
Brittany and Santana face each other and hold both hands, Quinn stands behind their arms
BRITTANY:
I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
SANTANA:
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
QUINN:
My hearts crippled by the vein that I keep on closing, You cut me open and I,
Santana pulls away from Brittany
SANTANA:
Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain, once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it you're frozen,
Brittany goes after Santana and grabs her arm
BRITTANY:
But something happened for the very first time with you,
My hearts melts into the ground found something true
And everyone's looking round thinking I'm going crazy,
Quinn walks up to them
QUINN:
Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill your ears try to fill you with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling,
Santana and Brittany face each other again, smiling
BRITTANY:
But nothings greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
SANTANA:
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
BRITTANY:
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy,
SANTANA:
Maybe maybe,
SANTANA+BRITTANY:
But I don't care what they say I'm in love with you…
QUINN:
So when you feel like trying again…
The room applauds
"I definitely think that's a good idea for regionals" Rachel tells them
"Wait, are you giving up on the chance of having a solo?" Santana asks
"Just go with it S" Quinn tells her, Santana rolls her eyes and steps off the stage. Meanwhile at the other side of the room Rosa is talking to Marco
"Which ones your favourite?" Rosa asks Marco, gesturing to the bowl of nuts "I've never tried them before"
"I like the knobbly ones" Marco tells her and Rosa picks one up
"This one?" She asks and Marco reaches out to feel it
"Yeah" He tells her "Mama says they're called hazelnut's"
"Cool" Rosa says and pops one in her mouth
A couple of minutes later…
"Mama my throat feels all blocked" Rosa tells Franchesca, her mum doesn't turn around to look at her
"Okay I'll get you a piece of bread, come on" She leads her daughter to the kitchen where she gets a slice of bread. She finally turns around to give it to Rosa and gasps, she gives Rosa the bread. Not taking her eyes off the left side of her daughter's face which is red and swollen, she goes back into the studio to find Maria
"Maria Rosa's having an allergic reaction! Where's the hospital?" This attracts the attention of the whole room who all look over at Rosa as she walks into the room, clutching the piece of bread she's nibbling on. Santana goes over and picks her up
"Tana I don't feel very well" She tells her cousin
"I know baby, were going to have to take you to the hospital for a little bit okay?" Rosa nods and buries her head in Santana's shoulder "I think Mr Schue left the mini bus" She tells the room "We can all fit on it if you all want to come"
…
By the time they get to the hospital the swelling has spread down to her shoulder, still only on her left side, and she's complaining about feeling sick. Santana puts her down and holds her hand as they walk up to the receptionist
"Um, my daughter has had an allergic reaction" Franchesca tells the receptionist
"Whats her name?"
"Rosa Lopez"
"Okay if I can ask you to go and wait in the waiting room"
"She's sick, she needs to see a doctor" Santana tells the woman
"I'm sorry but there are a lot of sick kids in the world and she needs to wait her turn" Suddenly Rosa lurches forward and vomits all over the receptionists desk, "Just take her in" The receptionist tells them, standing away from her now vomit covered desk. Franchesca, Rafael, Santana and Brittany go into the room with Rosa. Santana, Brittany and Rafael come out a few minutes later
"She needs to stay the night" Rafael tells them "We should go back to the house and have dinner now" The others nod and they all go back to the bus. Two bits of drama down. Who knows how many more there'd be.
...
That exact same kind of reaction happened to me when I was seven except we were at a family friends house instead of a family reunion. The receptionist was not very happy.
Was that an okayish mash-up?
