All mistakes are my own.

Chapter 7

To say the next day was awkward would be an understatement. There was so much tension in the air that even little Beth was feeling it and it made the little girl grumpy. If the subtle looks and one worded responses were anything to go by it was safe to assume that Blake was still upset and not happy about Dave being there. Brittany and Santana both tried their hardest to play mediator through it all but even they couldn't predict just how stubborn Blake and Rachel could, well Blake more so than Rachel but Rachel wasn't helping things much either.

Blake and Rachel would still go through their usual routine but it was now done in complete silence. Rachel and Blake did their morning workout as usual but no words were spoken Blake had walked to the room with her iPod already in and blasting loudly. Rachel scuffed when she realized that Blake was going to ignore her. She didn't want to push and she knew she had to let Blake come to her but it was annoying to know that her best friend was that stubborn. The two had fought before and it's never lasted longer than a night. It was weird for Rachel not to have Blake cracking jokes at her or correct her posture in certain movements.

Blake in all honesty knew that she was being a little ridiculous but she really didn't want Dave there and was just upset that another person that had hurt Rachel was in her presence and she couldn't do anything about it. Santana had talked to her the night before on their walk and she knew that she shouldn't have blown up like she had but she had and she didn't like it. Blake cooked breakfast for everyone including Dave without uttering one word. Once the food was on the table she would interact with Beth and even said a few words to Brittany and Santana. But the curly haired girl didn't even acknowledge Rachel or Dave other then to hand them their plate of food.

Blake not speaking to her at breakfast only pissed Rachel off more. Yeah she knows that she shouldn't have said what she had but Blake was just as much in the wrong as she was. So was does Blake get to walk about like a pissed off thirteen year old. Rachel was thankful for Brittany's presence. The taller blonde stuck by her side for most of the day just sitting on the couch and watching TV with her. Beth wasn't happy about the lack of laughter and music and refused to go to Blake or Rachel. The little girl could feel the tension in both of them and it just agitated her more that two of her favorite people weren't relaxed and laughing.

Once breakfast was finished Blake with the help of Santana cleaned the kitchen then both disappeared upstairs into Blake's room where they spent most of the day. Dave spent most of the day in his room as well not wanting to be in the way too much. He knew that Blake didn't want him there and didn't want to step on any toes. It helped that he spent most of the day washing his things even though he returned them to the trash bags. He had no idea if Rachel would let him continue to stay there if the other girl had a problem with it. And he couldn't help be that much more thankful and regretful for the way he had treated Rachel in the past. He had a room over his head, food in his belly, and clean clothes all thanks to her.

It now was 8:30 on Saturday morning. Rachel and Brittany with Beth were in the living watching a movie on Netflix. Rachel was almost giddy with all the time she had been spending with the blonde dancer. They didn't need words both just sat together and enjoyed each others presence. It also helped that Rachel knew that Brittany supported her and that made things o.k. She knew she shouldn't have used those words to get her point across to Blake but it didn't make what she said any less true and Blake had to know that. Blake she also know that Rachel has always taken the high road and helped out others no matter what. She couldn't in her heart leave Dave on the side of that road stranded with nowhere to go. If she had left him there knowing that she could have helped him than she would have been no better then he was.

Brittany could see the tension running through Rachel's body for the second day in a row and it was once again making Beth fussy and the little girl would not settle down for her morning nap. Brittany knew that she needed to get Rachel to relax so that Beth would. With silent prayer that she wasn't crossing a line and that Rachel wouldn't pull away Brittany laid her head on Rachel's shoulder and wrapped her arm around Beth and Rachel's waist. She felt Rachel stiffen a little and started rubbing soothing circles along Rachel's hip slowly draining the tension from the other girl's body. Brittany couldn't fight the smile that overtook her face as she felt Rachel relax into her more and more as the minutes ticked by. She could really get use to being with the singer like this.

After another morning or silence from Blake it was safe to say that Rachel was losing her calm. She couldn't help but replay that night over and over and her head and analyze it. It also didn't help that Beth was feeding off of the negative energy in the air and being extra fussy today which they didn't need. Rachel was brought out of her thoughts by a head being placed on her shoulder and the smell of Lavender hitting her nose. Then she felt a hand squeezing her waist and realized that their was an arm wrapped her and Beth. Once she realized that it was Brittany's head and arm, Rachel instantly stopped breathing and felt her body tense. She knew that Brittany had confessed to liking her but she didn't want to get her hopes up. However the way the blonde cheerleader had been with her last two days made her think that maybe the blonde dancer was telling the truth with her confession. No one put that much time and energy into someone they didn't have some sort of feelings for right.

Rachel could feel her body slowly begin to relax with each small circle from Brittany's hand. It kind of confused her that her body would react like this to Brittany. Yeah her body would relax when she cuddled with Blake, Mama Ju, or her dads but she had known them for most of her life. And yeah she has known Brittany for a few years now they hadn't spent much time together. Well definitely not enough for her body to be reacting the way it is. With Brittany's smell and her magic fingers Rachel felt like she turning into pudding.

"Is this o.k.?" Brittany shyly asked. She honestly didn't want to push Rachel but she refused to deny herself the luxury of cuddling up next to Rachel. She had already confessed her feelings now it was time to act on them.

Rachel nodded before letting her head rest on top of Brittany's. She took a deep breath and let herself fully relax into being cuddled by Brittany and Beth. Even with the fight and Blake not talking to her in this moment she is content. Even Beth had calmed down and beginning to fall asleep. Brittany wanted so badly to be able to do a happy dance but settled from smiling for now. Yeah she could live with and get use to this.

The two girls stayed on the couch through a couple of Disney movies before they had to get ready for the day. They had planned a week ago to sit down and go through their plan for keeping Beth, then a few of nannies scheduled to come by for interviews, and once that was all done had planned to grill and spend the day outside together. It was getting closer to the start of the school year which meant the two cheerleaders had cheerleading camp. They spend most of Sunday getting ready for Cheerios camp on Monday which meant that over the next two weeks they would be extremely busy and tired.

Rachel went to Dave's room as Brittany took Beth upstairs to her room to be laid down in her crib. Brittany had to also get Santana and Blake downstairs so they could officially get their day started. Rachel knew that Brittany would have a better chance then she would. Rachel also thought it was best to get Dave out of the house while they discussed their plan.

Rachel knocked on Dave's door and waited to be invited in. She heard a muffled, "Come In," and walked through the door. Dave hadn't done anything to the room to personalize it yet but at least his bags had been unpacked, so Rachel assumed. In truth Dave had put his bags in the closest so that they wouldn't clutter the room up. He hated having a messy bedroom and always tried to keep things organized.

"Hey so we totally forgot about your truck and we need some things for the grill so I was thinking that you can take the SUV go into town and get the things we need and call a tow truck, get your truck, and have it towed back here." Rachel stated once she was fully in the room.

Dave was stunned for a few seconds. He been preparing himself for when Rachel came to tell him to get his shit and leave but she wanted him to go grocery shopping and to get his truck and bring it back here.

"Yeah I can do that. Just give me a list and well money of course and I'm your man. And Rachel." Dave responded after a few moments. He took a deep breath because he need to calm himself down. He had been planning this little speech all night and didn't want to mess it up.

"I just wanted to say how sorry I am for what I did to you. I know that it's not enough and I know that it'll take more than an apology to make up for everything that I have done. I let the anger I felt for my dad and the need to fit in and hide myself fuel my actions. That's not an excuse but a reason. And I'm starting to realize that if I had given you a chance and stood up for you that we could have been friends. I know I can be a better person than who I was and you are giving me that chance. I mean even after all the things I've done you still took me and gave me a place to stay when you didn't have to and I'm so grateful for that. You are saving my life and I"ll never be able to repay you for that. I also have to say that I'd total understand if you wanted me gone. I mean it would be easier if I just left. You have your little sister to worry about and your friend, Blake, pretty much hates me and doesn't want me here. So if you need me to go I will."

Rachel stood completely speechless and staring at the football player. She was honestly surprised that Dave had apologized for his past actions or was ready to leave if she asked. She knew that her instincts had been correct Dave because he was already growing as a person. Maybe getting away from his father was a great thing. He could be himself and not worry about hiding. Rachel vowed right then and there to help Dave accept himself fully and grow into the man she knew he could be.

"Dave, you're already forgiven but I won't forget it. I don't trust you right now that's something that you're going to have to work for. I'm also not going to stand for the bullying and harassment anymore, especially not with you living in my house. So if you can't handle being at least civil with me in school than maybe you should leave. I want you here but you have to change your ways and besides you're another free babysitter in mine eyes." Rachel replied with a smile at the end.

"That won't be a problem since I'm not playing football this year. Even I have to admit that those guys along with the hockey team breed hatred. It was like they took the fact that they sucked and couldn't win a game to save their life out on the school. I honestly hated bullying people but I was also afraid to stand up to those guys. I know the basketball guys don't get in on the bullying and the coach will kick anyone who is caught bullying off the team so I'm going to be trying out for the team this year. I've always enjoyed basketball more than football anyway. And I know it's a only been like a day but you should know that I will defend you and have all your backs. You, all of you, even umm…Blake, are all I have right now. So I'm going to be there for you guys." Dave stated firmly and with conviction.

Rachel smiled brighter once the boy finished his little speech. This definitely wasn't the David Karofsky she had come to know. This boy was quiet and almost shy like but . Rachel let Dave see her smile and nodded at the boy.

"I wanna believe you Dave but let's just say actions speak louder then words. Meet in the kitchen so I can give you the list of things we'll need and cash. Don't be afraid to get something for yourself also. Get something to make this room more yours and new clothes if you need it. I'm…no we're all here for you." Rachel said as she turned to leave out of the room before stopping and saying,

"Oh and an good icebreaker with Blake is basketball she loves it and is actually really fucking good like seriously. Just talk to her, she knows about our history and is extremely protective of me. Give her time she doesn't like change and she still sees you as a threat. Once she sees you're harmless she'll come around. She's an amazing friend to have trust me."

Dave nodded and stored the information away for later. He was thrilled to have another ball player around but he'd be lying if he said the curly haired girl with blazing green eyes didn't scare him. She looked like she could kick some serious ass and Dave had no intentions on that ass being his.

Santana couldn't deny that she loved just being in Blake's presence but this wasn't her Blake. O.k. Blake wasn't hers yet, but she was Santana Fucking Lopez and she always got what she wanted and she wanted Blake plan and simple. She just had to wait and be patient. Slow and steady wins the race or whatever.

Santana stayed by Blake's side refusing to leave the girl alone to wallow in her thoughts and mope. She figured the girl would eventually want to talk and she'd be there. Santana was honestly surprising herself with the amount of patience she had with the stubborn girl but she really was starting to like Blake a lot and just wanted her funny, sarcastic, dorky fool back. Santana had never been in Blake's room before Friday and she was surprised by what she found inside.

Blake's room is painted black and had random neon colors spluttered around the room. Only when the lights were out and the neon lights on could you see the quotes and lyrics hidden in the black paint. Only one wall wasn't painted like the others and it was solid white. That wall held a few posters and a signed, framed number 24 Kobe Bryant Lakers' Jersey that Rachel had somehow gotten Blake for her 14th birthday, and a few skateboards. Her bed was up against her covered windows. It was a floating king size pillow top that was covered with neon green Egyptian cotton sheets and a black fluffy comforter with different colored splotches on it. There was also a bookcase full of books and a desk full of art supplies.

Blake was sitting at her desk sketching and Santana on the bed reading one of the many books that Blake had. She had started reading a book called Dark Prince it was part of a book series that Blake really enjoyed it was supernatural so Santana gave it a shot. This is what they did together all day yesterday and it was actually comfortable for both of them.

Neither of the girls were good at discussing feelings so just having another person there spoke more then words could. Blake was happy to have Santana with her. She just wanted things to go back to normal. Blake didn't want to admit that she was scared and that her protective instincts were in overdrive.

It was no secret that Blake hated not being there for Rachel during all the bullying. When they were younger she had vowed to always look out for Rachel and protect her and she had failed. It didn't matter that she was thousands of miles away and had no way of actually being their for her best friend. In her eyes she had broken her promise to Rachel and now that she was here in person she was determined to make up for not being there. She also knew better than anyone what happens in some foster homes and how the system works.

Blake couldn't take any chances that Beth would be taken from them. Dave was a risk and if she had to choose between him being homeless and keeping Rachel and Beth safe well she'd pack his shit for him. Why couldn't Rachel see that she was doing what she had to do to protect her family? Yeah she knows she shouldn't have been as stubborn when talking to Rachel last night but Rachel wasn't listening either. Blake also could admit that she shouldn't have said something of things that she had said. She knows Rachel can make her own decisions but Blake wanted to help as much as she could.

Blake was brought out of her thoughts by a knock on her door and Brittany popping her head in.

"So we need to get downstairs and talk about the plan before the nanny hopefuls show up." Brittany stated before leaving and heading back downstairs with Blake and Santana following right behind her.

The three girls headed downstairs and towards the kitchen. As they reached the bottom of the steps they noticed Dave walking out of the front door. They walked into the kitchen and joined Rachel at the table.

"Alright I'm calling a Rule 14 Turtle. I can't stand the silence so you have to sticky note it at least until Monday so we can enjoy our last free weekend with these two before school starts." Rachel stated as soon as everyone sat down.

"Umm what's rule 14?" Brittany asked.

"Oh umm well I guess you guys are part of the inner circle now, so have you guys ever seen How I Met Your Mother." Rachel asked. Brittany and Santana both shook their heads no.

"O.k. well two of the characters have this thing were if they are arguing they can table the argument and everything has to go back to normal and then it would be brought up later that's pretty much Rule 14" Rachel finished explaining. Blake grumbled and nodded in agreement. Blake took a deep breath before speaking

"Alright Rule 14 but that also means you can't question me or make me play nice with him." Rachel nodded her head knowing that it was the best she was going to get for now. She also knew that Blake was close to talking things out because she agreed to the rule rather quickly.

"O.k. so we start interviewing potential nannies today. Everyone remember the story we have in place?" Rachel asked.

"Beth is your adopted little sister and your parents are out of town on business and school is starting soon and a nanny is easier then daycare." Brittany answered with the other two girls nodding along.

"He or she is only needed during school hours until 3:30 when Blake comes home from school while we're at Glee and doing Cheerios." Santana continued where Brittany left off.

"Right." Rachel nodded in agreement. It wasn't a great story but it was the one that led to the least amount of questions. Anything else sounded to unbelievable.

"Are you guys sure this Noah guy won't be an issue once word gets out we have Beth?" Blake asked. It was something that she and Rachel had been worried about. Noah is Beth's biological father and had rights to her and could take her away if he wanted. It had been about three weeks since Beth had come to live with them and they already loved the little girl like she was thei own.

"Trust me Puck won't be a problem. He acted like he wanted to be there during the pregnancy but once the baby got here and he realized he'd be expected to actually help out and not get laid he bounced. Puck is Puck and the boy is a manwhore. And you know what they say "You can't turn a hoe into a housewife or husband in his case. He stopped coming around or spending time with Beth. He sent Quinn money like twice maybe. He won't be an issue." Santana answered easily.

It was one of the things that had really bothered Brittany and Santana about Noah Puckerman. They like everyone else thought that he was growing up and was ready to take responsibility for his actions but he wasn't. Puck gave Quinn hope that she'd have someone there all the time and when things got hard he quit. Once he realized that babies took a lot of work and that Quinn wasn't going to be sleeping with him, he left. He left in one of the worst ways possible in their eyes. Puck told Quinn that he was going to go to the store to get the things they needed for Beth and just never came back. He stopped answering phone calls or text messages from Quinn and refused to open the door when she would go to his house. They all knew that the boy was still around because they would get invites to his infamous Puckerman blowouts on facebook.

"Once Blake is 18 we can take Beth and the letter to the authorities and tell the story about her mother leaving her with. The story is that it took a couple of days for us to realize that she really wasn't coming back and that we are willing to keep Beth. We have a home, Blake and I will spend next week while you guys are at Cheerios looking for part-time jobs because having one could help, and shows we are being responsible. We all have to stay on the straight and narrow no getting in trouble at school or with the police. If they find one little thing they could not agree and we'll lose her. It's a long shot but it's all we got." Rachel stated.

"We'll have to do it on a weekday so we can try and get in front of judge as quickly as possible. The quicker we can get them to proceed then the faster we'll have her back. They will take her into custody but if we can get in front of a judge the next day or so then that'll minimize the time she's away from us." Blake added.

"And If Noah doesn't want the responsibility like you two said then when they contact him; he should just sign over his rights. The judge will see Quinn's letter as her signing over rights because it is written and signed by and vague enough that they won't ask to many questions. Once we tell the judge that her parents kicked her out and disowned her that'll take care of them. Hopefully you two being Quinn's friends and Beth already knowing you will show the judge that Beth is already with people she knows. Plus the whole she's been with us for a couple of day's thing. And I know you don't like it but it'll help that Dave is 18 also and managed to live on his own before coming here. If they go for all that then we'll get temporary custody and the home visits start." Rachel picked up where Blake left off.

Blake grumbled under her breath because she knew that Rachel was right. It didn't hurt to have someone of age living in the house. It would help their cause tremendously, especially if Dave got a job and stayed out of trouble also.

"I know that means we'll have to tell him eventually but let him earn our trust first and show us that he's trustworthy. I talked to him today and he's serious about changing and not being that asshole we know. I think he should have a chance." Rachel added. Blake didn't comment just shrugged her shoulders she still didn't like the idea of him being there.

"The homes visits should be easy seeing as we've already baby proofed the entire house including toilets and doors. We have all the things that a baby needs and they are all top quality. I want to get an alarm on the front door, back door, and sliding glass door, some educational things, a few more toys, and another car seat for the Prius, so they know that we are integrating her into our lives." Rachel continued on.

"They need to see that we are serious about keeping her. They won't take us seriously at first because we're teenagers but when they see how much we've done for her then it'll give them pause and make them think. The may priority of the courts is to make sure that the child is safe, cared for, and protected. We have to prove to them that we are capable of providing all of that." Blake stated getting a nod from Rachel.

Both Santana and Brittany nodded as the two friends went over everything. Both cheerleaders couldn't help but wonder how Rachel and Blake knew so much about this but figured it was a question for another time. It seemed almost as though one of the girls were in foster care at some point in time but that couldn't be right they both had parents. They knew that Cassie was Blake birth mom and Rachel has always been with her dads. They would save this conversation for when the other two girls were ready to confide in them.

"We should also get a giant schedule board set up so that they can see we have a schedule set in place and that we are serious about this. Having a schedule board up will show that we have each day planned and always aware of where Beth is and who will be with her." Brittany piped in.

"That's a great idea Britt." Rachel replied getting a shy smile in return.

"Umm… You guys do realize that we'll have to tell the nanny at some point also right?" Santana asked.,

"I mean they're going to want to know what we'll do about school and none of us are dropping out. I mean yea B could say she graduates at the end of the semester but we'll still need a plan and having the nanny already here could help out. Like you said we want them to see we are taking this serious."

The other girls hadn't thought of that and knew that it was something else to add to the list of things to worry about. It was a lot to handle and things could go terribly wrong but Beth was worth the trouble. That little girl deserved the absolute best and they wanted to provide that for her. She's lost so many people in her life already and they weren't going to let their names be added to the list. They had to do this for her.

"We'll just cross that bridge when it gets here. Right now we have to actually hire a nanny and make sure we can trust and count on them to do what's best for Beth." Rachel replied. All the other girls nodded along in agreement.

The girls knew this plan was completely insane and a long shot. They knew that there was a real chance that they could still lose Beth but it was the best they could come up with. They wanted to make sure everything was done right so that once they were granted custody; Beth couldn't be taken from them. It was also decided that if needed then they would call Blake's mom for help she had connections everywhere and could get results quickly. But that was a fail-safe they didn't want to even think about that option. Explaining things would be bad because Cassie July had a way of sensing a lie quickly. It was like a mother's super power or something and extremely scary. She'd also flip her shit and murder Rachel and Blake.

It was just after 2 p.m. now and the girls were already starting to get tired and hungry. They had interviewed four potential nannies already and it only seemed to get worse as each one came in to be interviewed. The first one was a guy who looked like the guy from Candyman and talked in a really scary voice. He also kept eyeing Brittany and Santana; the two cheerleaders had to place a hand on each girl's thigh to keep them seated. The next person was an elderly woman who was extremely sweet but then she fell asleep not even fifteen minutes into the interview. Like no joke Rachel was asking a question and the answer was a snore coming for the lady.

The third person was a middle aged woman who looked like she was casing the place the whole time. She kept asking questions about their security system and keep asking to take a tour of the house. It was decided quickly that they needed to keep the front gate closed and alarm always set from now own just in case. The fourth potential nanny didn't even make it into the house. The four teens found her out in the front yard shouting a prayer for the house and the grass before she started reading scriptures from her bible at the house. The girls didn't even bother opening the door for that one.

They were waiting on the fifth and final potential nanny to show up and were all praying that whoever it was… was well sane and normal. If they couldn't get a nanny then their whole plan wouldn't work. They wanted the nanny to be able to start in a weeks' time. They wanted to be able to spend time with nanny and have he or she spend time Beth so that everyone could get to know one another and be comfortable with the arrangement.

The final interviewee was already ten minutes late and they girls were starting to lose hope on finding a nanny today. They were all brought out of their thoughts by the sound of the front door opening and closing. They all knew it was Dave coming back and waited for him to appear. It didn't take Dave long to walk into the kitchen with the groceries that were needed for the grilling. 30 seconds after Dave walked in a middle-aged blonde woman came sliding into the kitchen, literally sliding into the kitchen,

"What up party people?" She asked. The four girls and Dave all shared a look. They honestly didn't know how to respond to this lady. To be honest she already seemed a little crazy but they needed to really be sure before they dismissed her.

"I'm Holly Holiday and I want to be your nanny." the nanny spoke up with a huge smile on her face.

Holly Holiday had a little trouble finding the house seeing as it was further away from the other houses on the block which was way she was late. She tried to leave her home earlier to make it on top and now wished she had used google maps to find the house first. When she pulled up into the driveway she noticed a young man unloading bags and offered her help which was declined and asked about the family. All the boy would tell her is that it's him and four other teen girls and one of the teen's new little sister. Holly was instantly concerned but wanted to get a vibe for things before she sounded any alarms.

"Hi I'm Rachel Berry and these lovely ladies are Brittany Pierce, Santana Lopez, and Blake July. The big guy lugging in stuff is Dave Karofsky." Rachel introduced as she pointed everyone out. Each person waving as their name was said.

"So you all live here?" Holly asked

"Nope just Rachel...Dave, and I." Blake answered hesitantly she wasn't agreeing or anything just stating facts.

"These two are just here a lot. They met us and got attached kinda like a puppy ya know." Blake joked while pointing her thumb in Santana and Brittany's direction.

Santana flipped her off discreetly and Brittany stuck her tongue in response. Santana couldn't help but think if only Blake knew how true that statement was. Both her and Brittany were attached to the two girls and had no plan on ever letting them go.

Holly could sense there was more there but didn't ask. It wasn't her place she was here to be a nanny and take care of a child.

"So you guys are looking for a nanny for…" Holly started but trailed off so that the girls could fill her in on everything.

"We're looking for a nanny for my umm… little sister. We would only need you during the day while we are in school. My dads' got called away on business and wanted me and Blake to find a nanny; they don't trust the daycares around here." Rachel quickly answered the other three girls nodding along in agreement with story.

"How old is the baby, umm your little sister?" Holly asked after giving the girls a smile and nod letting them know she understood. Holly sensed something was off about what she was being told but didn't say anything.

"She's 4 months old now." Santana answered. Holly wasn't expecting the baby to be that young.

"That's really young." She replied simply.

"Yeah it is but she's our little sister and we'd do anything for her. She doesn't have anyone else but us right now so we'll do what we gotta to make sure she's safe and healthy and all that." Blake replied back simply while the other girls nodding along. Holly could see that these girls meant business and would do anything for this little girl that she hasn't even met yet.

"So those are all the questions I have so far I think. Here's my resume, I'm 46 and you'll see that I'm more then qualified to watch your sister. I have been in the nanny game since I was 18 and I love it. I'll work as long as you need me to and will be available for whenever you need me. My only request is that I have Saturday nights and Sundays off. I am first-aid certified and can even clean. I can make a mean bowl of cereal but I'm not much of a cook. You can call and check with all of my references, I have some letters from some of them, and I know they'll check out. Now do you have any questions for me?" said Holly as she pulled her resume out and handed it to Rachel.

The girls hadn't expected Holly take this serious. After her introduction into the room they thought she'd be a joke but her resume and references seemed legit. Holly was indeed first-aid certified and could hold a state job working with kids if she wanted to. She had tons of credentials and some of the reference letters she had raved her work and how she was with kids.

"We would need you to be here no later than 7:30 am and stay until 3:30 maybe later would that be an issue?" Brittany asked.

"I figured after you mentioned you guys were in school that I'd be here early and like I said I'm available whenever." Holly replied with ease. The four girls all shared a look and nodded.

"O.k. so you are literally the last and best applicant we've had all day. Can you start this Monday coming up but the next? We just want to get to know you and for Beth to be comfortable with you before we start school." Rachel explained. Holly Holiday smiled and nodded.

"I'll see you not this Monday but the next one then. I can't wait to meet this Beth she seems to have all of you wrapped around her little fingers. I'd like to also discuss payment plans then as well." She said as she stood from the table to shake each girl's hands before she left. She made sure that each girl plus Dave had her cell phone number in case they needed her before she actually started work.

The girls all laughed because that was an understatement. Beth had in such a short time climbed into their hearts and was there to stay. She brought so much happiness and joy into their lives. They all stood and walked Holly to the door and said goodbye.

The four girls waited until Holly was in her car and they were back inside of the house before they all cheered and did happy dances. They had started to give up hope but now things were looking up. This was the start of their plan and things were going great. The girls now needed to get things ready to grill and spend time with each other.

After they all calmed down they made their way back to the kitchen to prep the food and grill. Well Blake and Santana prepped while Rachel and Brittany sat at the bar. Dave could be heard playing Call of Duty in the living room. Rachel remembered that the pool needed to be cleaned and decided she would do it. She dismissed herself to go upstairs and change.

"Hey Legs, can you go ask Buzz where the baking sheets are? I need them to carry the food outsite." Blake asked after a few minutes. Brittany nodded and headed upstairs to Rachel's room.

Brittany made her way up the stairs. The door to Rachel's room was cracked open a little so Brittany went to push it open and froze dead in her tracks. Rachel was standing next to her dresser and the brunette singer was completely naked. Brittany knew that Rachel had a nice body hidden under those sweaters but this was so much better than anything she could have imagined.

She trailed her eyes down the girls toned back to an equally as toned butt and downward to Rachel's long legs, which should be illegal for someone of Rachel's stature to have. Brittany knew she shouldn't be looking but she couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful tanned girl in front of her. She was silently praying and hoping that Rachel would turn so she could get a look at the front when Rachel did just that. Rachel had turned her body just enough so Brittany could see the side of her small but perky breast. Brittany's eyes continued to travel down when she caught sight of something that shouldn't have been there.

Brittany let out a gasp once she realized what it was. Rachel turned at the sound of the gasp but Brittany had already ducked back into the hallway and was heading back downstairs. Rachel shrugged and went back to getting dressed.

Brittany was slowly making her way back to the kitchen. Her brain kept chanting the same thing. Rachel has a penis. The girl she was falling madly in love with has a dick. She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it herself. She couldn't help but wonder how the hell Rachel hid it in those short skirts she wears. I mean seriously from what she saw Mini Rae wasn't so mini.

Brittany was brought out of her thoughts by Blake calling her name.

"Yo Legs, you alright over there?" Blake asked. She had been calling Brittany's name for almost a minute now and hadn't gotten a response.

"Umm yea… yes… yes… I'm good… It's all good in this hood yeah," Brittany rambled out causing Blake to bust out laughing.

"Wow ghetto Barbie in the house. Did you ask Rachel about the baking sheets?" Blake asked once she calmed down.

"Uh I didn't get a chance to ask…" Brittany started to say but was cut off by Rachel walking back into the kitchen dressed in a tight green v neck tank top, black board shorts, and flip flops.

"Ask who what?" Rachel asked. Brittany looked Rachel up and down and then her eyes landed on Rachel's crotch. Brittany instantly flushed red, sputtered out something incoherent, and quickly made her way upstairs to her room. Blake and Rachel didn't think anything of the strange reaction but Santana knew something was up.

"Ask you about the baking sheets and I'll be back. I need to ask Britts something." Santana answered before following her best friend upstairs. Blake and Rachel shared a look before shrugging their shoulders and looking for the missing baking sheets.

Brittany quickly ran into her room and closed the door. She couldn't stop thinking about Rachel and her penis. What did this mean? How is it possible? Did she tell Rachel she knew or not? Did Brittany feel any different toward Rachel now that she knew? Does Blake know? Who else knows? Why hadn't she said something before? Was Rachel even planning on telling her?.

Brittany had so many questions but realized she'd have to wait for answers. She'd have to wait until Rachel was ready to tell her. She also realized that she was in no way disgusted by what she saw only curious. She knew that her feelings for Rachel were still the same. In her eyes Rachel was still the sweet, laid=back, talented, caring girl she's always known, Now Brittany knew what was hiding in the tiny singer's underwear.

Brittany was brought out of her thoughts of Rachel's dick by a knock on her door.

"Come in!" Brittany called out and watched as Santana entered the room.

"Hey B you ok?" Santana asked as she walked over and sat next to Brittany on the bed.

"Yeah S, I'm alright." Brittany replied as casually as she could. To be honest she really was o.k. just a shocked at what she'd just discovered.

"Alright spill B, we've been best friends forever so I know when you're be lying, So don't try it again." Santana countered back. Brittany took a deep breath before turning to her best friend. She should have known that she couldn't hide anything from Santana.

"Santana let's just something has been brought to my attention and I would tell you if I could but it's not my thing to tell. So I'm begging you to let it go and if one I can tell you than I will tell you but only if I'm allowed to." Brittany replied back. Santana simply nodded and sat back more on the bed.

"I really like Blake, Britt." Santana stated after a few moments. Brittany let out a little laugh.

"I know you do S. I'm sure Stevie Wonder could see how much you like her." Brittany replied.

"OMG Do you think Blake knows? Oh god she probably thinks I'm so lame and fuck Britts what am I going to do." Santana nervously rambled out. Brittany grabbed her best friends face making her stop before she started overthinking things.

"Listen Rachel and Blake seem similar in the sense that they have no idea people actually find them attractive. It's really sad that they can be so oblivious to this because Rachel is just so," Brittany commented her eye glazing over from her thoughts of Rachel.

"Look Britts I love you and I'm all team Brittberry or whatever and if you wanna run off and have pint-size dancing singing half Jewish babies more power to you but please save me the details." Santana stated through laughter.

Brittany chuckled because Santana had no idea how true that statement was. Now Brittany couldn't help but think about what her and Rachel's babies would look like. Would they be tiny like Rachel or tall like her? Would they have blonde hair like her and chocolate brown eyes like Rachel? She couldn't help the goofy smile that came across her face from thinking of a Mini Rachel with Brunette hair, olive skin tone, and blue eyes running around. Brittany's thoughts were interrupted by Santana once again.

"Eww you're totally imagining it huh. Well even I'd have to admit that you and Rachel would have good looking kids. Not as hot as mine and Blake's b..," Santana started to say but realized what was about to let slip out of her mouth. She slapped her hands over her mouth quickly and stared at be Brittany with wide eyes.

"Wow you got it bad," Brittany stated with a giggle. Now Santana would know what she's been going through these past few years with Rachel. Brittany also felt bad for her friend and really hoped she wouldn't have to wait as long as Brittany waited to tell Rachel.

"What are you going to do about it San?" Brittany asked. Brittany knew that Santana would have to be the one to initiate things and she was worried that her best friend would be hurt. She was beginning to care about Blake but would kick the other girl's ass if she hurt Santana in any way.

"I have no fucking clue B. I can't just tell her I like her like you did with Rachel. You and Rachel have known each other for years and already had a connection. Rachel may not realize it but she always seems to just gravitate to you. It's kind of sickening to watch to be honest." Santana answered before flopping back on the bed. That was the hardest part for Santana because Santana Lopez always had a plan. But with Blake she was flying blind. It scared her to no end how much she actually liked the curly haired girl but she didn't want it to stop.

Blake and Rachel had finally located the baking sheets, loaded the food onto them, and were getting ready to carry them outside when Beth had started crying through the baby monitor. Rachel handed the pan of food to Blake before making her way upstairs. It wasn't a surprise to her that Beth had sleep longer than she usually would have during the day. They little girl had fought going down for her night which meant she had been up longer than usual. Rachel quickly made her way upstairs to change and feed the little girl.

"Hey Mini B, are you ready to get up and spend the day outside with us. Yes you are. Come on princess let's get you ready." Rachel cooed at the little girl as she tickled her tummy. Beth garbled and giggled back in response. She could sense that Rachel was in a better mood which put her in a better mood.

Blake laughed before continuing to carry the food outside to the grill to be cooked. She always found it funny that each one of them would run to Beth before anyone else could to her. They all wanted to be the one to shower the baby girl with love and affection. Which is always why they wanted to just have a nice relaxing day by the pool as a little family before the outside world came knocking. It was just an added bonus that Blake loved using the grill and the other girls loved eating whatever it was that Blake had made for them.

Blake had just finished putting the regular burgers and veggie burgers on the grill when the back door slid open. Blake looked over her shoulder and noticed Dave walking towards her. She scowled a little but remembered that she was under Rule 14 so she couldn't drown him in the pool. Even though she couldn't out right be mean to him she didn't want to talk to him either. Blake's thoughts and plans of ignoring the other teenage were interrupted by the sound of Dave's throat clearing. She took a deep breath before turning to face him.

A/N: The next chapter continues exactly where this one left off. I didn't attend for it be seem like a cliff hanger it's just the chapter was becoming super long and this was the best place to stop.
