Santana woke up on Saturday morning and rolled over to see Fio sleeping soundly next to her. One of the downfalls to living in an apartment with only a room, a bathroom, and a small kitchen was having to share a bed every night.
Santana snuggled up to Fio and slowly traced up and down her arm with her fingers. She loved these moments when Fio was relaxed sleeping. It was 9:30 though, and it was time to wake up. Santana leaned over Fio, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Fio slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She then closed her eyes and turned facing her Mami snuggling into her. "Can I sleep a little longer, Mami?" One thing Santana loved about the mornings was the Fio was usually too tired to be sassy. "No baby. We can stay in bed but no going back to sleep." Fio groaned and buried her head in Santana's stomach. Santana just laughed.
"I wanted to ask you something, sweetie. Can we talk for a minute." Santana always had serious discussions with her daughter in the mornings. Fio just looked up at Santana and played with her shirt. "About what?"
"I want to know where you heard the word 'cunt'. Miss Santos said you called her one the other day."
Fio didn't answer for a while and just stared. "Maddie called me one."
"Well how did it make you feel when she called you that?"
Fio looked down. "Bad."
"So why did you think it was a good idea to call Miss Santos one? Don't you think it made her feel bad too?"
"Cause I don't like her." Although it made Santana sad to hear that, she was at least happy that Fio was talking openly to her. All Santana knew was that she needed to get the behavior to stop. "Why don't you like her, babe? She's really nice."
Fio continued to fidget with Santana's shirt. "Cause I don't want you to go live with her."
Santana laughed and moved some hair out of her eyes. "Babe, I'm not going to live with her. And besides if I ever go live with anybody, you will be coming with me!"
Fio finally let out a goofy grin. "Can we live in a mansion?"
"That would be awesome, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Not with my paycheck."
Santana gave Fio a quick kiss on the head before saying, "You really need to be nice to Miss Santos at school though. No more mean names otherwise you will be in big trouble. And please no punching any boys no matter what they do to you!"
Fio smiled. "Even if they try to kiss me?"
She laughed. "Maybe next time just try to run away. You can punch them when they're older and can handle a punch from someone as strong as you."
Dani walked nervously to Santana's door trying to muster up the courage to knock. She hadn't been to Santana's place yet and was scared Santana didn't want her there. Dani had immediately after regretted the talk she had with Santana the other day and needed to apologize.
She knocked on the door quickly and waited for an answer. She hadn't texted before hand which was probably stupid, but there was no use stressing about it now. A pang of anxiety fell through her as the door opened revealing a surprised Santana.
Dani had a nervous smile on her face and said, "Are you busy? Can we talk for a second?"
Santana looked back into her apartment before stepping into the hallway and shutting the door behind her not wanting Dani to come inside. She didn't want her to see how shitty her apartment was and she didn't want Fio seeing her. "Sure."
"Look, Santana. I'm so sorry about the other day. Everything I said was stupid and wrong and I hope you can forgive me. I just had a horrible day and was blaming it all on the kids. I shouldn't have been bitching about anything. Fio's an amazing kid, switching classes was a stupid idea. I'm so sorry." Dani frowned knowing her apology sucked. How do you apologize for being a dickhead?
Santana just sighed. "I'm sorry too. I get super defensive when it comes to Fio. I just hate feeling judged like that." Santana had cooled off since the incident and wasn't as mad anymore.
"I wasn't judging you Santana, I promise! I know it must be hard doing it all on your own. You're doing a great job."
"I rarely ever feel like it but thanks. And let's just put this whole incident behind us, okay? I'd rather go back to all the fun we were having." Santana smiled and was happy when Dani returned one.
"That sounds perfect. Are you doing anything tonight? We can get drinks or I can make you some dinner at my place."
"I'd love to see your place again. I barely got to see it last time."
"Well my place it is then. I'll see you tonight." Dani grinned before leaning in for a quick kiss. Santana knew it was happening and quickly returned it, glad that they finally got their first kiss out of the way. She couldn't keep the smile off of her face though as she watched Dani walk away.
