This is the longest chapter so far, I hope you all enjoy it. This is going to be my last update for a few days, after that I probably will have a two chapter update.
I own nothing but the story line.
The girls heard the news around 6pm. It took a few seconds for Santana to process the information. Then Santana frantically walks out to the car, waiting for Quinn and Beth. On the inside Santana is losing her mind. "No.. this can't be happening" she kept thinking over and over again. She was forced to put on a strong face for her daughter, and she did.
"Ready to go, San?"
"Ye-yeah. O-of course." Quinn can tell the girl beside her is nervous, because Santana only shuddered when she was in a situation where she can't comprehend people or her surroundings.
Santana, Quinn, and the little girl make their way to the hospital. Quinn is constantly checking her phone for updates. Quinn is truly afraid, her breaths were uneven. Santana sees the girl anxious in her seat; she grabs the blondes' hand. "It's going to be okay, Babe." Santana kept repeating to her fiancé.
Santana turned the usual twenty-five minute ride to the Lima hospital into ten. She pulls in front of the emergency wing of the hospital, she tells Quinn to take Beth with her while she parks.
As soon as Quinn walks into the emergency room with her daughter, she sees every member of glee club and their parents in the waiting room. She walks to the large group who are completely silent. Out of all the people, Quinn walks right towards Puck. Puck has a blank look and red eyes, at first he remained still, but then grabs Quinn and pulls her into a hug, and then he takes his daughter in his arms as relief filled him.
Santana walks into the area to see the connection between father and daughter. While Santana walks towards Quinn, someone steps in front of her, she stops. Santana remembers the text she got before, saying something about a hug. It was Rachel; Santana turns around to face the shorter girl. She returns the hug and squeezed Rachel, neither of the girls talked.
The room was somewhat silent, other than the adults in conversation. Quinn still doesn't know what has happened, or who was hurt. She takes a step and asks "Who was it?" The room was more tension filled than it was before. Suddenly, a loud sob was heard in the corner. Quinn and Santana both turn their head to see Kitty, sitting alone, crying.
The couple walks towards the younger girl, the girl jumps out of her chair and into their arms.
"Kitty, it's going to be okay." The older sister said while stroking her hair.
"No, no it's not Quinn." Kitty replied with a cracked voice, Kitty is distressed. Quinn didn't care if her shoulder was becoming wet; she just wanted to sooth her sister. Everyone in the room did not want to talk. Quinn feels a stop on her stomach was becoming damp; she took a step back and saw it was blood, and it was fresh.
"So who was is? What the fuck happened? Someone start speaking before Snix comes out." Santana said turning around with her arms crossed. She saw that neither of the blondes wanted to keep speaking.
"It was Marley and Jake." A voice cut the tension; it was Millie, Marley's mom.
"Is she okay?" The brunette replied.
"Jake only needs stitches; he has a gash on his forehead from getting pushed onto one of the instruments. No one knows about Marley, they haven't told us." Mr. Schue says.
Santana just nods her head, she understands. Santana turns her attention back to the two blonde sisters. While Santana takes the girls into her arms again, a nurse wearing pink scrubs walks in.
"I think we should move you all to a separate room, it'll be more comfortable for you all." The nurse says. Kitty is still crying as Quinn takes her sisters left hand while Santana takes her right. She guides the group to a room with bigger couches and a TV. Once they all get there everyone gets resettled.
Beth sitting in Puck's lap as she messes with his hair, it was his first genuine smile since they had been there. Tina clutching onto Mike who was stroking her hair, to calm her down. Finn holding his girlfriend's hand, apologizing over and over for all the times he's been a dick. Sugar sitting next to Artie in his wheelchair. Sam holding Brittany, she still seemed in shock, but she managed to smile. Kurt apologizing to Mercedes about all the times he's talked about her bad taste in clothing. Lastly Ryder trying to talk to Kitty, but she didn't let go of her sister. Santana had just told him to go sit down and leave sister in law alone for a while. Ryder sat down almost instantly, not wanting to go through the wrath of Snix.
"Q, you've got some blood on your shirt."
"I know, I don't even care if it's there, and I'm just worried about her." As she tills her head at Kitty
A different nurse brings Jake into the room; apparently he had said he wanted to stay with the group the whole time he was there.
"Hey guys.." Jake said.
"Bro, just come sit down." Puck replies to his brother.
Jake does what he's told; he walks over to a chair next his brothers. Beth slaps him, not trying to do harm.
"Ouch, girl." The boy said while laughing. Beth smiles at him. She's too young to realize what is truly going on in the enviroment around her.
Millie, William, Burt, Carole, Finn, Rachel, Ryder and Sugar all go into the hospital chapel. They go to pray that Marley was okay. By now Quinn had gotten Kitty to calm down a whole lot, the young girl's mind was in a mess.
"Quinn, I kind of need to tell you something.." Kitty whispers.
"Yes?"
"Can we go into the hall?" she says slightly nervous.
Kitty turns to Santana and nods; Santana understands exactly what she's going to do. Santana walks over to Puck and hugs him.
Meanwhile in the hall Quinn was curious about what her sister had to tell her.
"You're not pregnant are you?" Quinn fake gasps in surprise.
Kitty laughs at her sisters antics. "No.. it's actually something else."
"Go on with it Kit." The older blonde says while moving her hand, telling kitty to go on.
"Okay okay.. here it goes.. Idontlikejakeatallandivebeensecretlydatingmarley." She says in one breath.
"Okay.. now repeat that a little slower sis" Quinn says, she already knows about the 'secret' couple. The looks she gives her, the way she talks around her, the way she softened up around Marley. It reminds her about how Santana and Quinn used to do that.
"I said, I don't like Jake at all.. and I'm secretly dating Marley." She looks towards her sister waiting for the shock she expected. All Quinn does is laugh.
"Is something funny Fabgay?"
"Okay one, we're sisters. So If I'm Fabgay, you're Fabgay number dos. Two, No Kitty, I already knew about you two. I was just waiting until you told me."
"You.. you knew?" The shorter Fabray said, a little shocked.
"Yes, I see the way you look at her and I see the way you get all shy. Oh and one time while I was in the bathroom, I could so hear you guys. The walls aren't sound proof. 'Oh, oh Kitty, don't stop." Quinn mocks the younger girl, she laughs at the face her sister is making. Kitty's face is beet red.
"Fuck you." She says with a straight face. "Well, you and Santana aren't that quiet either, when I sleep over your house I cry myself to sleep because of the horror I have to endure. How the hell can Beth sleep through that?"
"I don't even care if Santana and I are loud. Beth sleeps through anything, she got that from Puck." Quinn smirks.
Kitty makes a disgusted face. "Too much information Q."
They both see the small group walking back from the chapel.
"We should go back inside."
"Ditto."
Judy tells Santana that she is taking Beth home to sleep comfortably. Judy tells Kitty that she has to come with, but she protests.
"I can just leave. My fucking girlfriend is in a room somewhere, I won't leave untill I know she's okay." She half yells, startling the once silent room.
The members of glee club had their mouths open. Kitty didn't mean to say her girlfriend, it just slipped out.
Jake and Ryder rose from their chairs, they looked furious.
"What do you mean girlfriend? I'm dating her."
"Kitty, I thought.. I thought we had something special."
"What the actual fuck."
"When were you planning to tell us!"
"I…I.." Kitty was lost for words. Quinn takes her sister to a couch, away from the situation.
Mr. Schue tries to stop the yelling boys, but he couldn't. Finn got up and told them to shut up. They did, no one expected the tall boy to stand up for Kitty, but after the events of the day, he felt the need to change. The boys scoff and leave the hospital without a word. Puck doesn't follow his brother, or even talk to him. Puck understood how he felt, but it was just unnecessary. There was no reason to make things worse than it was.
"Me and Santana will stay with her." Quinn says.
Judy nods her head. One by one every person starts to leave, even though they don't want to, their parents suggested it would be better if they came home. The only ones left were Millie, Kitty, Quinn, and Santana.
At around 10pm Marley's doctor walks in. Everyone in the room was focused on him and what he had to say.
"She was hit in her side which chipped one of her ribs, and once in the shoulder. She lost a lot of blood, but she's fine." The doctor with grey hair says with a smile.
"Can we see her?" Kitty asks wanting to see her girlfriend.
"I don't think all of you should go at once, I say one or two at a time. You are all welcomed to stay here over night, just tell the nurses how many cots you need and they will bring them in. She's in room 129" He then leaves.
Kitty suggested that Millie goes first, she did. About 10 minutes later she tells Kitty that she can go now.
In the room Kitty looks at her girlfriend who is partially awake and says "Marley, I'm so sorry. I-I feel like it's my fault." She lets her tears flow freely. "I love you." she grabs Marley's hand and sits in the chair besides the hospital bed.
"I love you, too." A quiet voice is heard, less than a whisper. Kitty looks at her with hopeful eyes, it was the first time they had said those words.
On the couch in the waiting room Quinn is sitting beside Santana, who has her arm around Quinn's shoulder.
"San, it could have been us."
"I know, but it wasn't."
"She's so young." The blonde says while leaning farther into Santana's arm.
"Quinn, what do you think about getting married once she's out of here?" Santana asks suddenly, looking directly into her fiancés eyes.
"Are you serious?" She sounds baffled.
"Of course. Remember when you first kissed me?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Ever since then I wanted you as my wife. Yes we were in the beginning of our relationship, but in a short amount of time it felt like we've been together forever. I want to take the step in officially changing your last name to mine. I want to switch that small diamond on your finger into a big shining ring on your hand as soon as possible."
"I.. I don't know what to say Lopez. You are actually the cutest person I've ever seen."
"So I'm guessing we'll talk about dates soon and all that shit?" All Quinn does is stick her pinky finger out, showing Santana she promises soon.
"Promise." Santana takes Quinn's hand and kisses it. Quinn feels like her stomach is doing flips, Santana is finally happy that they've talked about their wedding.
Kitty walks back into the room, her mood has changed remarkably since seeing Marley. Kitty tells them that Marley wants to see them. They walk to room 129 with their hands still linked. The couple asks Marley how she feels; she said it hurts like hell. They all laugh at what she said.
"I just wanted to thank you both. You have both accepted me, stood up for me, and you both were there when I needed you. Honestly, you are both like family. I love you guys." Marley says.
Quinn and Santana smile, they are honored that Marley had said that.
"Any time." They reply in unison.
"I think I should try to sleep now. I mean I've had one hell of a day. Good night."
The couple walks back to the family room with smiles on their faces, seeing that the sophomore girl was fine, and Kitty has gotten something off of her chest.
As they become tired they lie in the same bed. Santana pulls Quinn close and says "I love you, Baby." while kissing her cheek.
"I love you, too."
"Get a room." Kitty groans while throwing a pillow at them.
