Sam pulled Quinn closer to him as they kissed, he didn't want this moment to end and neither did she but the moment was soon interrupted by a small knock on the door which caused Sam to groan.
Quinn raised an eyebrow, "Come in" she called out curiously.
The door opened slightly to reveal a young girl no older than Beth dressed in a pink frilly dress, multicolored tights and pink sneakers with her hair tied back into a ponytail.
"Is that my little shadow?" Sam asked beaming as the girl nodded frantically.
"SAMMY!" she shouted running to the bed trying to clamber up.
Quinn watched with curiosity in her eyes at the scene unfolding in front of her, she smiled and waved at the little girl who looked over at her shyly causing the little girl to cuddle into Sam more who chuckled.
"Sammy, who is the pretty girl?" she whispered her eyes not leaving Quinn who blushed slightly.
Sam took the blonde's hand, "Kasey I'd like you to meet Quinn, Quinn I'd like you to meet Kasey, my little sister and my little shadow" Sam introduced the two laughing as Kasey rolled her eyes at the nickname.
"It's very nice to meet you Kasey" Quinn said.
Kasey smiled before hiding in her big brother's chest, "Momma is signing the papers that let you come home" Kasey explained as he played with her hair.
Santana popped her head round the door smiling apologetically, "Sorry to disturb you guys but Quinn, Shelby is about to head off and Beth wants to say goodbye" the latina explained.
Quinn nodded, "Can you grab me a wheelchair please San, I'll come down and say goodbye" Santana nodded disappearing for a couple of seconds before returning with a chair and helping Quinn into it.
Once Quinn was gone Sam sat his sister on the bed so he could start getting dressed, he noticed she was being extremely quiet which was very unusual for the small girl who was usually on top form, he walked over picking the young girl up who hid in his neck her tiny arms wrapping around his neck as best they could.
"What's up little shadow?" he asked rubbing his hand up and down her back.
"I was scared Sammy, Momma was crying when they called her" she whispered tiny tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh Kasey I'm okay I promise, I have a few ouchies but with lots of hugs from you i will be soon be better" he replied wiping away a couple of tears.
Kasey nodded hugging her brother tight before he set her on the floor pulling a locket out of his wallet, bending down to her height, "I need you to do me a big big favour Kasey" he said watching her eyes light up.
"I need you to take this to Quinn, it's very very special to me so be very careful okay?" he asked handing it to her smiling as she gently held it.
Kasey slowly walked down the hallway watching everyone bustling past her, some doctors making their rounds, some nurses filling in paperwork and others being patients taking a stroll to escape the four walls of their rooms but suddenly she bumped into someone looking up she met a set of friendly mocha eyes.
"Hey there pretty girl, are you lost?" Kasey recognized the girl, she'd come in to get Quinn.
"I'm looking for Quinn my brother asked me to give her something special" she said looking down at the locket tucked safely in her hand.
"I can take you to her pretty girl" Santana replied lifting the small girl who held her arms open laying her head on the latina's shoulders as they headed through a set of double doors to the waiting room.
Quinn waved goodbye to her daughter as Shelby led a teary eyed Beth out to the car, neither blonde wanted to say goodbye or let go it was like a hole in both of their lives had finally be filled, a tanned hand on her shoulder caused Quinn to jump wiping away the tears she just realised were running down her cheeks looking up she saw Santana holding Kasey who smiled shyly.
"Hey sweetie" she greeted accepting the young girl onto her lap.
"Hi, my brother asked me to give you something" Kasey whispered holding out the locket to Quinn who gasped taking it from the girl.
"What's that Q?" Santana asked watching as the blonde's hazel eyes welled with tears yet again.
"It's my locket, the one Sam gave me for my birthday one year, I gave it to him the day I left so he'd always remember me" the cheerleader whispered her eyes fixated as she studied the locket which had her initials engraved onto it.
Kasey gasped, "You're little lamb?" she asked a smile spreading across her face when Quinn nodded.
"Sammy has told me stories about you since I was a baby, he told me about how beautiful you were and how you always knew how to get away with things" Kasey rambled as Quinn laughed.
"You're big brother was always getting himself into trouble when we were little" she told the young girl who nodded giving the teenagers a 'Tell me about it' look.
Suddenly Sam appeared smiling lovingly as his sister and best friend bonding, clearing his throat, "I hate to break this up but Kasey sweetie momma is waiting for us" he explained smiling when both the blonde and brunette pouted.
"Sammy I want to stay with Quinn and Tana" Kasey whined whilst Santana smiled at the nickname.
"I know kasey but i promise as soon as Quinn is allowed to go home we'll visit her" he promised picking up the pouting girl before placing a soft kiss on Quinn's forehead his lips lingering.
Quinn's heart raced and sank at the same time as she watched Sam disappear through the double doors with a still pouting Kacey in his arms, it wasn't until Santana started to wheel her back to her room that she came back to reality, "So I heard you kissed someone today" Quinn admitted smirking.
"I erm yeah well you see erm" the latina stuttered as they entered the room.
Quinn chuckled climbing back into the bed that suddenly felt very small so she patted the bed allowing the girl to climb in next to her, "Rachel is very special to me Santana" she started to say.
"I know and i know that this is all very sudden but Quinn" Santana rambled stopping when the blonde raised a hand.
"I know for many years you've battled with your feelings not only for Rachel but for Brittany, i know how much it killed you when her parents moved last year and she stopped contacting you" she paused for a moment pulling the latina closer when her face dropped.
"You deserve to be with someone who loves you and treats you right just as Rachel deserves the same, it's going to take some time and you need to be patient with her but I fully support you wooing her" Quinn explained taking her hand watching as a smile spread across the girl's face before pulling her into a bone crushing hug.
"I promise not to hurt her Q, she makes me feel things I've never felt before not even with B" Santana confessed playing with her fingers a slight blush appearing.
"I trust you San" the blonde told her smiling as they hugged.
An hour passed before Santana said her goodbyes leaving Quinn alone in the room the only sounds were the beeping from the machines in the room next door, Dr, Rivington entered the room to inspect Quinn's stitches happily scribbling down on her chart, "So when can I leave?" she asked, she hated hospitals.
"I am happy to release you today saying as you'll be going home with Leroy and HIram Berry per their request" he explained his eyes not leaving her chart.
"So I'm going home" she chuckled as she always saw the Berry house as her own, the doctor shot her a kind smile.
"I think you have a little bodyguard too" he smirked nodding his head over to the bench outside her room which was occupied by a sleeping brunette.
Quinn's heart sunk as she saw the red puffiness under the diva's eyes indicating that she'd been crying for most the afternoon, "She's quite light, could you carry her in here?" she asked the doctor who nodded leaving and returning holding the still sleeping brunette and placing her next to Quinn who thanked him as he left to prepare her discharge papers.
She lay on her side pulling the brunette closer to her smiling softly when she automatically wrapped her arms around Quinn's waist cuddling into her chest causing Quinn to giggle slightly, maybe things were about to start looking up for her.
