Santana is sat in her apartment reading through her mail, when Quinn arrives "Hey babe."

"Hey."

Quinn looks "Um is everything ok, you looked pissed off. Has Bella done something?"

"No sorry. Here read this," she says handing Quinn a piece of paper.

After a few minutes "Can they even do that?"

"Yep, see I moved into this apartment when Bella was little, I still rent it, I know I can afford a place I just always liked it here and now they're selling it so I have to find Bella and I a house or another apartment," she says.

Quinn shakes her head "How long you got?"

"Not long, they want us be out in two weeks" she tell her "I'm going to have to rent a storage place and put everything in there, till we find somewhere."

"Babe I know we have only been together six months but why don't you and Bella move in with me till you find somewhere, I have plenty of room and I can store all your stuff," Quinn offers.

Santana stands up "Are you serious? I mean living together is a big deal Quinn and there's Bella."

"And Bella what? She already has her own room there, obviously it needs redecorating to suit her but she loves the house and I know it's a big deal but it's only till you find your own place."

Santana pulls her into a hug "I'll have to ask Bel, if she is ok with it then I would love us to thank you."

"Ask me what?" Bella says walking into the kitchen.

Santana turns around "They are evicting us from here babe, so we need to find somewhere to live, but until we do Quinn said we can stay with her, what do you think?"

"Really that's awesome, can I paint my room though?" she says excitedly.

Quinn laughs "I take it you're ok with it? And yes you can paint your room."

"Bel it's not permanent, I don't think redecorating is an option," Santana tells her.

"But Mami, Quinn said I could." she whines.

Santana sighs "And I'm saying no Bella, when we find somewhere else, you can decorate how you like, but we are not changing Quinn place just for a few weeks."

"But Mami," she starts but Santana cuts her off.

"Don't but Mami me Isabella, I said no. Now I'm going to go get us some large boxes so we can start packing up." she tells her, but Bella stomps out the room. She gets to her room and slams her door. Santana turns "She knows better than to slam her door, excuse me for a second". Santana walks down to Bella's room and opens her door; she walks over and turns her iPod off. "You know better than to slam your door young lady. So you are to stay in your room till I get back and say otherwise. Understand?"

Bella knew it was coming; Santana always grounds her to her room if she slams her door in temper. "Yes!" she snaps.

"I would be very careful if I was you Isabella, I won't put up with your attitude all day." Santana tells her turning and walking out.

Quinn stands in the kitchen waiting for Santana to come back in. "What was that all about?" she says shortly.

"What?" Santana shrugs.

"Why can't she paint the room in my house? I said it was fine."

Santana sighs "Quinn we are already going to be disrupting your life, I don't think redecorating is a good idea, and what if she does it how she wants it then we find somewhere else, she will get upset and kick off because we are moving out."

"No she won't, it just means whenever you stay she will have a room of her own, why are you being so stubborn about this?" Quinn asks her getting annoyed.

"I'm not, Quinn listen I have told her no that's it, end of discussion." Santana says a little harshly.

Quinn starting to get annoyed even more"Hey, I'm not your daughter do not speak to me that way, this is a relationship you do not get to end the discussion just because you say so." she shouts.

"When comes to this yes I do Quinn. I have told her no that's it." Santana shouts back.

Quinn shakes her head "So because she is your daughter you make all the decisions, is that how this is always going to work, you playing the she is my daughter card because I'm not going to put up with that Santana. I love Bella and treat her as if she was mine, just because biologically she isn't doesn't mean we shouldn't at least discuss things. It was your idea to have me more involved with her so you don't just get to pick and choose when that comes into play."

"I know you love her Quinn and I know I put those rules in place, but do you think building her hopes up of us staying with you is a good idea. I don't want her to get all excited about living with you and then three weeks down the line to move out," she tries to continue but Quinn stops her.

"Then don't move out San, I love you and I love Bella move in with me permanently?"

Santana stands there shocked "What? Quinn six months we have been together do you really think we are ready to live together?"

"Why not Santana, in the last two months we have only spent one night apart. I want to live with you and I want us to become a family I have never felt for anybody the way I feel for you, Bella is like a daughter to me please just at least think about it, why buy another place, just for me to spend nights at when we can be together all the time at my house, it will be our house."

Santana sits back down "I need to talk to Isabella about all this, I have her to think of what if it doesn't work out and a few months down the line you decide or I decide it's not working. We would then have to find somewhere anyway. Quinn this is a big step you know I love you but I can't just make a decision like that on my own."

"I know San I get that and if it doesn't work out we will figure something out but baby can't we at least try?"

"I need to talk to Bel, and see how she feels about this. Can you give me some time?" Santana asks her.

Quinn smiles "Of course, look why don't I go and get some boxes and tape and everything we need to pack this place up because we need to do that anyway and you can talk to Bella?"

"Ok sounds good, Quinn I'm sorry I made out that you don't have a say with Bella. It's just hard you know I mean if we live with you, we will be co-parenting, are you ready for that? It means you can't always be her buddy like you are now you will be more of a parent than a friend and that is something she will need to understand as well."

Quinn sits down on Santana's lap "I know that babe, and I'm ready for it. I know it's going to be hard in the first few weeks and she is most likely going to test me and the boundaries but she will get there and so will I, because we will have you babe to make sure it works. I am honestly ready for this; I want to be her parent with you."

Santana kisses her "I would like that to as I'm sure Bella will too. Ok I will talk to her."

"Good. Now I'll go and get the stuff I'll see you in an hour or so." she says kissing her again.

Santana smiles "Ok bye" Quinn leaves and Santana heads down to Bella's room.

"Hey babe can we talk?"

"Are you and Quinn breaking up?" she asks.

"No baby why do you think that?"

Bella shrugs "Because you were arguing and shouting at each other, I have never heard you two fights before."

"Oh I'm sorry angel, but trust me we have argued before. I do need to talk to you though" she says sitting on Bella's bed patting it, signalling for Bella to join her.

"Is this about my behaviour and slamming the door, because I'm sorry I won't do it again," she says.

Santana laughs "Babe you will do it again, because you have my temper but no it's not about that" she takes a deep breath "Quinn has asked if we want to move in with her permanently, we know it's sudden but we feel ready for it, I need to know how you feel. Because if you decide you want to, there is going to be some big changes".

"What kind of changes Mami?" she asks trying to hide her excitement she really wants to move in with Quinn.

"Well you know how when Quinn looks after you now, and you guys chill and mess around and you convince her to let you stay up and stuff."

Bella laughs "Yes."

"Some of that will have to change, if will live with Quinn she is going to be more like a parent, more like me I guess. She will still mess about with you and stuff but she will have to take on more of the parent role, so being a little stricter for a start."

Bella rolls her eyes "I understand that Mami, it will just be like any other kid my age who has two parents and to be honest I really want Quinn as another parent, she is awesome and I know it won't all be fun all the time, but your my parent and we still have fun and mess around and so will Quinn and I. Mami I really want to do this, I want us all to live together and be a family, a real family."

Santana kisses her head "You're a smart kid, I want us to be a family too, I just need you to understand that things will change and it might not be easy it will take some getting used to. But if you really want to do it then so do I. I love you angel."

"I love you too," she says hugging her. Santana gets up and goes to leave Bella start to follow her.

Santana turns round "Where do you think you're going missy?"

"I'm coming with you."

Santana raises a brow "I don't think so, slamming of the door?"

"Oh that, please Mami I'm sorry I don't want to be grounded to my room" she says sadly.

"Well then you should have thought of that before you threw a strop and slammed your door" she looks at her watch "If you stay here till Quinn comes back with the boxes with no attitude then you can come out then ok?"

"Ok, but I don't have to stay here all day do I?" she asks. She hates this punishment but it has always been the same.

Santana chuckles "No babe, but you know the rules and these rules will still be in place when we move into Quinn's ok?"

"Ok Mami, while I'm stuck in here shall I start sorting my things ready to pack up?" she asks.

"Yea that would be good, I'll see you in a minute." she tells her, leaving and heading to her room to start sorting her stuff out to pack.

After an hour or so Quinn arrives back and goes to find Santana "Hey, so did you talk to Bella?"

"Yea she wants us to all be a family and wants us to move in with you," she says with half a smile.

Quinn notices "Ok so then why are you not happy about it?"

"I am babe it's just I'm scared I don't want to ruin things between us, and I realised today how attached Bella is to you and if I screw this up for her she will end up hating me."

Quinn pulls her into a hug "She won't ever hate you San, she loves you and worships you. Look we can't guarantee this will work but we can try our best, if anything ever happens between us I would still like to be there for Bella. I told you I want to be her parent with you, hell I want to marry you someday and have more children with you but that would never change the way I feel about Bella."

Santana smiles "You want to marry me and have more children?"

"Of course baby, I can see us with at three more. I always wanted four kids and I would like to have them with you,"she says kissing her.

Santana kisses her back "You know if we do have more, you're so carrying them" she says laughing.

"Or we can adopt babe, as long as we are together I don't care if Bella is our only child as long as I have you two I have everything."

Santana laughs "Ah babe you're so cheesy, but I love you."

Quinn slaps her arm "I'm not cheesy. And I love you too. Now where is the little madam?"

"She is still in her room, she tried coming out but I told her she had to stay there till you came home" Santana says.

"Oh right forgot stropping and slamming the door. Well I'm going to go see her if that's ok?"

Santana chuckles "Of course it is, and make sure she is packing her room up."

Quinn smiles and leaves she gets to Bella's room walks in and finds her lying on her bed "Um are you not supposed to be packing this room up?"

"Yea but I got bored, don't tell Mami?"she says smiling sweetly.

Quinn sits down on the bed "Bella I need you to listen to me babe ok?"

"Ok."

"I know your Mami spoke to you about us living together and what It will mean for us, I know it's going to be hard for the first few weeks but you will need to remember that I'm going to be more of a parent to you, so asking me to hide things from your Mami, is not going to happen. I expect you to listen to me as much as you do your Mami ok?"

Bella smiles "Ok, I'm sorry Quinn. I won't ask you to cover for me anymore; does that mean you're going to be like my mom now?"

"Well you have a Mami babe, I guess I'll be like one but don't worry I don't expect you to call me it ok?"

Bella smiles "Ok, I love you Quinn."

"I love you too. Now missy gets your butt off this bed and finishing packing your room up" Quinn says patting her thigh.

Bella sighs "Do I have to? Can't you help me?"

"Nope I have the rest of the house to help with. I'll get you some boxes, when I come back in I expect to find you off that bed and sorting understand?" she says firmly.

Bella pouts "Yes understood" She really does love Quinn and she can't wait for them to start being a family, the good and the bad it's all she has ever wanted two parents that care and love her.

Quinn kisses the top of head and leaves to get her some boxes as she steps out Santana is stood there and pulls her in for a kiss "Um what's that for?"

"You are amazing that is all, and I think this is going to work." Santana says kissing her again.

It's been two days and everything has been moved in to Quinn's, they didn't wait for the lease to be up and they just wanted to get in. Bella has been sulking all morning because she wants to decorate her room today but she wouldn't go to bed the night before and as predicted she is testing the boundaries with Quinn but it backfired when Quinn told her she couldn't decorate today she will have to wait till tomorrow. Bella is up and gone to Quinn and Santana's room "Mami?"

"Morning angel," Santana says patting the bed "What's up?"

Bella sighs "I want to decorate my room today, you said we could"

"I know, but what has Quinn said?" she asks questionably, she knew Bella would try this at least for the first few weeks.

"She said no, but can't you talk to her?"

Santana raises an eyebrow at her daughter "No Bella, and what do you think Quinn would say if she knew you were in here asking me?"

"I would say, get you little butt back in the kitchen and finish your breakfast young lady. I have told you no and that is final." she says standing with her hands on her hips.

Bella sighs and gets off the bed she walks towards the door, as she passes Quinn she lands a swat to her bottom. "Ow Quinn" Bella whines.

"Next time I tell you no and you ask Mami, it will be more than one swat do you understand?" Quinn says sternly.

"Yes I understand," she says walking to the kitchen, followed by Quinn.

Quinn watches her sit down "Look how about I take you after school to pick up the supplies to do your room and if you behave tonight we have all day tomorrow to do it?"

"Ok thank you," Bella says excitedly.

"Bella these last few days you have been testing me, and I need to let you know that I'm not going to put up with it for much longer babe. I know this is new but you have to start doing as I ask you ok?" Quinn says.

Bella looks up sadly "I know Quinn and I'm sorry I'll try really hard from now on."

Quinn walks over to her "It's fine babe we knew it was going to take some adjusting, and I can only ask that you try hard, I love you kid and after school I'll pick you up and we can spend some time out the house just you and me ok?"

"Ok cool" she says looking forward to spending time with Quinn.

Quinn had cleared it with Santana and after school she was waiting at the gates for Bella, she comes running over when she spots Quinn "Hey baby."

"Hey Quinn, we ready to go?" she asks.

Quinn smiles "Yea, let's go.

They arrive at the mall "Where do you want to go first?"

"Um can we get the paint and stuff because I can't get anything else till I decide what colours I want?" she asks.

"Yea sounds like a good idea" they head over to the paint store, and they spend half an hour looking round "Any ideas babe?"

"Yea I'm think purple and green, what do you think?" she asks.

Quinn smiles "Sounds good, let's have a look shall we." They find the paint they want and Quinn pays for it, next they head over to the furniture store and Bella picks out a new desk and chair then they go and chose some new bedding and curtains.

"Is that everything Quinn?" Bella asks.

Quinn nods "Yea I think so, if we have forgotten anything we can get it tomorrow, shall we grab some dinner while we are here?"

"Yeah oh please Quinn can we get burger king? Mami hardly ever lets me have it" She asks using her sweetest smile.

Quinn shakes her head and chuckles "Yea come on."

Quinn goes and orders the food while Bella sits and waits, a group of kids see her and go over "Hey Bella, what you doing?"

"Oh hey guys shopping for my new room."

"Oh have you moved house then?" one of the lads asks.

Bella nods "Yea my Mami and I have moved in with her partner, she has an awesome house and she said I can have my birthday party there, she has like a pool and everything and it's heated all year round."

"She?" one of them says.

"Um yea Quinn is Mami's girlfriend,"she tells them.

Some of the kids shrug "Don't you care that your mom is gay?"

"Why would I care, she is happy and Quinn is like a mom to me as well it's no different than having a mom and a dad" she tells them. Quinn is standing not far behind listening with a huge smile.

"Fair enough that's cool then, so she spoils you then? Do you get what you want from her?"

Bella laughs "Not a chance, I mean we have been shopping today and we got all the stuff I wanted but that's like for my room. She wouldn't buy me computers or shit just because I wanted it, she is a lot like my Mami and can be quite strict but she is also so cool we do loads together."

"That awesome, when my mom remarried, I bribed my step dad into buying me anything, you should try it?"

Bella shakes her head "I don't think so, she would have my ass."

"What she like punishes you and stuff?"

"Yea, if she has to. We spend a lot of time together and you remember my Mami right, how she is with me with behaving and that, well Quinn is the same. To be honest I like it because it really makes me feel like I have two parents" she tells them.

"Well that's cool then. Is this her coming over?"

Bella turns round "Yea. Hey Quinn these are some friends from school."

"Hey guys, I'm Quinn. You all doing some shopping?" she asks.

"No we are going to the movies. Would Bella be allowed to come?"

Quinn looks at Bella "Do you want to go babe?"

"Actually guys not today, we have to get all this stuff home and start preparing my room," she tells them.

Quinn raises an eyebrow "We won't be doing that tonight Bel."

"What why?" she asks.

Quinn keeps her eyebrows up "Last night, remember?"

"Oh yea, well I still want to help bring the stuff home," she says. She looks over to her friends "Sorry guys, I'll text you Sunday maybe we can meet then." they all nod and walk off.

"Babe you know you could have gone, I can take this stuff home," Quinn tells her.

Bella shrugs "I wanted to spend time with you and I was hoping we could have our own movie night?"

"Sounds good, let's eat up then and head home."

After they arrived home and got everything put away the two of them curled up on the sofa watching films, Santana arrived home to find them both asleep wrapped in a blanket, she smiles at the sight and decides to leave them there and heads off to bed.
