Oooh I'm sensing a little rivalry between Ben being with Daisy and Ben being with Charlie...some want Chen and others want...Baisy?
lol well we shall see what happens.
Hahaha it makes me laugh that no one likes Flynn...
Also new Glee episode...my poor Sanny! I'm totally hating Shue even more than usual right now. Also Quinn...what can I say? Just...why is Dianna so hot? That's just not fair. They should just have a Quinn and Santana show. That would be all kinds of epic.
~~~ Family Lunch ~~~
Becky nervously knocked on the front door and took a deep breath. She knew this lunch invitation wasn't going to mean that everything was going to be ok. But it was a step in the right direction.
Hannah answered the door and gave Becky a small smile.
"Hey"
"Hi"
Cue the awkward silence
"So..."
"Um...sorry, come in" Hannah smiled nervously
The two wordlessly moved into the kitchen, Cooper smiled brightly and ran up to his mommy the moment he saw her. Becky engulfed him into a big hug. This was one of the most heartbreaking things about the separation. Becky and Hannah both hated being away from their kids and having to constantly share them going back and forth was hard not only on them but on the kids as well, especially when Max would sometimes refuse to even talk to his mother.
"Hey sweetie" Becky kissed him on the head.
She put him down in his chair then moved over to where her oldest son sat and she hesitantly placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Max"
The young boy didn't reply which made Becky sad. Her boy was still so angry with her.
"Ok so I thought we could have a mini barbie for lunch" Hannah broke the awkwardness.
The family of four headed outside, Hannah headed for the barbecue and started it up.
"Do you need help?" Becky asked awkwardly
"Babe I do the meat you do the salad" Hannah replied as if it was known fact.
Becky paused when she heard the term of endearment. Hannah noticed too and looked away.
"There's some stuff in the fridge" the brunette mumbled
Lunch was surprisingly uneventful. In fact it was so normal it was like the last six months never happened. Even Max was starting to come around...it wasn't a miracle turn around but it was a start.
They kept all conversations to light topics such as school and music and everything else. Hannah and Becky explained to the boys that Grandma Q or Gran for short was in hospital for a while because she was sick.
After lunch they headed back inside the boys were settled watching their movie as Becky headed into the kitchen to help clean up.
Hannah stood by the sink doing the dishes.
"Need a hand?" Becky asked
"Yeah sure"
Becky grabbed the dishcloth and started drying the cups and plates. They worked in silence as the awkwardness started to come back now that they were alone together.
"Today was good" Becky hesitantly spoke
"Yeah" Hannah replied
"Thank you for...letting me stay, spending time as a family" Becky mumbled
Hannah just nodded. They were standing shoulder to shoulder as they did the dishes there was like a centimetre of distance between them and both could feel the heat radiating from each other's skin. In a word it was torture. They both wanted it so badly but everything was weird and different now. Hannah still wasn't sure what all this means and neither did Becky. It was all rather confusing.
"Do you...tomorrow do you want to go visit Quinn with me?" Becky asked
Hannah looked up and thought about it for a few moments then nodded
"Ok"
Becky couldn't help but smile
"And the boys of course"
Hannah nodded
"We'll get them to draw her a get well card or something" Hannah added
They then fell into a comfortable silence as they finished putting everything away and made themselves a coffee.
"Hannah?"
"Yeah?"
Before Becky could say anything her phone started ringing. The blonde sighed and went to go answer it.
Hannah watched her wife take the call she assumed it was work because she heard Becky say Mark's name. Hannah soon got worried though as the colour drained from Becky's face and she looked like she was going to pass out. Then in a split second the colour was back and her face turned really, really angry. Hannah could tell that she was trying so hard not to let her anger explode her knuckles were turning white as she gripped her phone and the way she pushed the end call button she was surprised the phone didn't break in two.
"Are you ok?" Hannah hesitantly asked
Becky clenched her jaw several times as she tried to calm down. The day was going so well but that bitch just had to ruin everything...again!
"Becky what's wrong? What happened?" Hannah asked
Becky was holding back her tears now and her hands were shaking.
"It's nothing" Becky finally got out
Hannah frowned and then got mad herself.
"Becky if you really want some kind of second chance then lying to me is not the way to go about getting it." Hannah told her
"It's fine Hannah. Don't worry I'll sort it out" Becky snapped
"You know what fine" Hannah hissed then stood up and walked away into the living room leaving Becky in the kitchen alone and cursing herself once again.
Becky sighed and flopped into the chair as she ran her hands through her hair in frustration. She needed to yell and scream but she couldn't. Not here at least. She didn't want to tell Hannah because it would just bring up bad memories and ruin what they had started to build but apparently not telling her was going to do the same thing anyway...she just could not win.
Becky was startled when Max entered the kitchen. She straightened up and tried not to look upset.
"Hey Max" she gave him a small smile
"Are you and Ma getting back together?" He asked bluntly
Becky was not prepared to answer that at all.
"I...I don't know...I want to...it's just complicated at the moment" Becky replied honestly
Max nodded
"If you want to get back together than why are you fighting again?" He asked coldly
"Max..."
"Haven't you broke our family up enough? Why do you have to keep ruining everything?" He yelled
Becky sat there stunned
"Max, don't talk to your mother like that." Hannah scolded him
The boy just huffed and stormed off to his room slamming the door behind him.
Becky once again felt like crap. She wiped away at the few tears that had begun to fall. Hannah stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do yet again.
"Maybe you should go" Hannah finally said with a sad sigh
Becky sniffed and turned around in her chair. She decided to make a choice.
"Valerie is accusing me of rape" Becky told her
Hannah stood there totally dumbfounded by that bombshell. Then anger took over.
"I'm going to fucking kill that mole! Where does she live?" Hannah yelled
"No Hannah I'll deal with this. I did this to myself." Becky replied
"Becky she can't go around doing this to you! To us!"
"It'll be ok...I didn't do anything. It's her word against mine she has no proof...I just need to wait it out" Becky told her sounding defeated
"It doesn't matter! The stigma is there now! She can't just ruin people's lives like this!" Hannah yelled
"What am I supposed to do? She went to Mark today crying her eyes out telling him that I got her drunk at the Christmas party and then raped her in my office." Becky told her
"We need to get you a lawyer" Hannah stated
"That just makes me look guilty"
"You need to protect yourself Becky. If she has the balls to go through with this then you need to have protection" Hannah told her
"This is all my fault" Becky cried
"Seriously tell me where she lives so I can go all Madame Razor on her ass" Hannah told her
Becky couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"Have you been watching the history channel again?" She asked
Hannah looked down and blushed slightly
"It's a whole week of Aussie stuff" She mumbled
"You really miss the land down under don't you?"
"Sometimes" Hannah replied
"I should go home" Becky sighed
"Becky what are you going to do about that...woman?" Hannah asked through gritted teeth.
"I don't know" Becky sighed
The blonde looked so defeated, Hannah had never seen her look like this before. She was a fighter...she was never like this. So pushing everything aside Hannah walked up to her wife and pulled her into a hug. As soon as the Aussie had her arms around her Becky clung onto her for dear life and cried.
~~~ The Epicness of Quinntana ~~~
Quinn was sitting upright in her hospital bed looking at a notepad and looking confused. Santana sat next to her on the bed with another notepad and a pen at the ready.
"San...what am I looking at?" Quinn asked
"It's my list of romantic gestures for the wifey." She explained
"O-k...Sooo why am I looking at it?"
Santana sighed
"Because I need your help"
Quinn smirked
"Wait...I need to treasure this moment...Santana Lopez-Pierce...needs my help"
Santana glared at the blonde
"Yeah, yeah whatever look this is important"
"Why, what'd you do?" Quinn asked
"Nothing!" Santana snapped
"Then why are you trying to do all this?"
"Because Brittany thinks I don't romance her any more" Santana mumbled
"And you think swimming naked in my pool will be romantic?" Quinn asked as she read it off the list on the notepad
"Brittany's sexy when wet" Santana smirked
"Brittany's always sexy" Quinn replied
"You know it's a shame we never had one of our foursomes in your pool. That would have been so fucking hot" Santana mused
"I know, four wet naked ladies in one pool...yes please" Quinn chuckled
"Although that time we did it in the shower was pretty awesome" Santana replied
"That shower was tiny we were all pretty much smooshed up together. I got so many bruises because Brittany kept jabbing me in the back" Quinn added
"I didn't notice"
"That's because you were busy going down on me" Quinn replied
"Ahem"
The two occupants on the bed turned to look at who had walked in on that unfortunate moment...it was Judy.
Santana and Quinn turned bright red while Judy raised her still perfectly shaped but botoxed eyebrow.
"I don't want to know do I?" She asked
"It's...probably for the best" Santana mumbled
Judy just nodded then shook her head of those horror filled images.
"Quinn sweetheart I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I have extended my stay, Rachel has made up the spare room" Judy informed her
"And when you say you've extended it...you mean?" Quinn asked
"I'll be here for two weeks" Judy answered.
Quinn nodded
"Ok well I'm off to let you two...do whatever it is...you two do...together. Santana is your mother still living in that apartment?"
Santana nodded
"Great well I'll go see Maria for a while" Judy kissed her girls goodbye and then left the room.
She then quickly came back with a pointed stare
"And no more orgies it's not good for your heart" She pointed at the two girls on the bed
Quinn and Santana just looked down in embarrassment…and they almost looked a little disappointed.
"So back to romancing my sugar mamma what should I do?" Santana asked
"Well...you could cook for her"
"Meh...that's boring" Santana whined
"I don't know then...what would you usually do?" Quinn asked
Santana sat there thinking then a smiled appeared on her face.
"I got it! Thanks Q" Santana smiled and kissed the blonde on the cheek before she got up and started grabbing her stuff
"Wait what is it? Where are you going?" She asked
"I gotta go set everything up" She replied then ran out of the room
Quinn sat there pouting for being left alone...she hated being in hospital.
~~~ Telling the Family ~~~
Grace and Sofia stood hand in hand as they waited for a reaction from Rachel.
It didn't take long for her to scream and then throw her arms around the two girls.
"Oh my god I'm so proud of you girls" Rachel smiled as she kissed both of them on the cheek.
"Thanks Ma" Grace giggled
"So where's the rings?" Rachel asked excitedly
"Oh um...well we haven't got them yet. We were gonna go out looking today" Sofia explained
"Oohhhh this is so exciting! My baby's getting married!" Rachel yelled with a big smile
It had been the first real smile on Rachel's face in the last couple of days. It was a sight for sore eyes.
"Do your parents know Ducky?" Rachel asked
"Not yet...that's our next stop" The Latina replied
"And I hope you don't mind but I already told mom yesterday" Grace told her
"Oh no that's fine sweetie. I've got so much planning to do now...ok quickly go tell your moms Sofia so then me and Brittany can start organizing things" Rachel rambled
Sofia just laughed while Grace cringed at the thought.
"Mama...I'm not wearing a dress" Grace warned
"We'll see" Rachel replied
"Ma I mean it."
"Ok" Rachel replied then winked at Sofia
The Latina couldn't help but giggle
"Alright so go tell them and I'll get started on the seating arrangements because they are always the most time consuming" Rachel told them
So Sofia and Grace headed over to the Lopez-Pierce house to break the news.
Brittany welcomed the two with a big hug and then ushered them into the living room. She was just happy to see that they were together after all that angst about babies and whatnot.
"I'm glad you two stopped by I miss you both. You need to visit more often." Brittany pouted
"I know." Sofia sighed
"So you two seem to be all cuddly does that mean the separation is over?" She asked looking hopeful
Grace and Sofia both smiled and nodded. The Latina grabbed onto Grace's hand entwining their fingers
"It's over...and there's something we kinda wanted to tell you...where's Ma?" Sofia asked
"Oh she's upstairs trying to cheer Ben up...though she's probably not the best choice for that job" Brittany mumbled
"What's wrong with Ben?" Sofia asked looking worried
Brittany sighed
"I think he and Charlie had 'the talk' and...well, it didn't go well" She informed them.
Sofia and Grace looked sad at that
"Poor Benny" Sofia mumbled
Brittany nodded
"Maybe you should try cheer him up" Brittany suggested
"Ok...but first I want to tell you something" Sofia replied
Brittany sat there expectantly. Sofia smiled brightly and gave Grace's hand a small squeeze
"We're getting married"
Brittany's face went blank for a split second then she quickly got up and ran out of the room. Sofia and Grace looked very confused. That was not the reaction they were expecting considering Brittany had been the one to push for them to get married...and that started the moment they got together when they were sixteen!
But before they could say or do anything Brittany came running back only now she was holding a massive folder in her hand.
"Mom?"
"You girls are gonna have the most awesomest wedding ever!" Brittany smiled as she placed the folder on the coffee table.
On the front cover was written in dry macaroni 'Ducky & Gracie's Awesomest Wedding'
Sofia and Grace looked worried.
"Does Rachel know yet?" Brittany then asked
The two nodded
"Great! Ok well I'm gonna go see Rachel so we can finalize the seating arrangements" Brittany smiled
The tall blonde then got up and flung herself at the two girls giving them a big hug.
"I'm so happy for you guys" she told them
And before they could respond Brittany was outta there taking her folder with her.
"Wow...that was slightly disturbing" Sofia stated
"Yeah...baby maybe we should just elope" Grace suggested
"Over my cold dead body" Santana said as she came into the room
"Ma...she has a folder" Sofia whined
"I know...I've seen it. Rachel has one too" Santana sighed
Grace once again cringed
"So...you two are finally getting hitched" Santana smirked
"Yep" Sofia smiled
"Well thank fucking god because your mother was driving me insane with all the complaining. 'Sanny why won't they get married? Sanny why won't they let me be happy? Sanny why aren't they married like normal people?' it was doing my head in" Santana rambled
"Ma can't you just react like a loving mother and just give us a fucking hug?" Sofia asked
"But you've got cooties" Santana smirked
"And Gracie likes my boobies" She then added
Grace blushed and looked away while Sofia huffed and rolled her eyes.
"Oh fine come here you fucking lucky bitches" She smiled and opened her arms out for a hug
Sofia and Grace both moved in to hug the Latina.
"Don't get excited now Grace" Santana chuckled
"Ma!" Sofia yelled
Santana opened a bottle of Champaign and poured a glass for the three of them to celebrate. After their drinks Sofia headed up to go talk to Ben while Grace stayed down stairs with Santana.
"So I never got to do this before when you two started dating but I figured I'd do it now" Santana said
Grace looked slightly confused
"You hurt her and Imma go all Lima Heights on your ass" She warned
Grace just smiled and nodded
"Same goes for Ducky...if she ever does you wrong just let me know and I'll whoop her ass too"
"I don't think you need to worry about that Aunty San" Grace smiled
"Good...you sure it's wise for you to be drinking alcohol near me...alone...just the two if us...we all know how well that ended last time" Santana smirked
Grace's face turned bright red at the memory.
"I thought you were Sofia!" She whined
Santana just laughed
Sofia gently knocked on Ben's door and waited for him to let her in.
"Ma I really don't want to hear any more of your lesbian jokes. They're not funny and half the time I don't understand them" Ben yelled through the door
Sofia laughed
"It's not Ma, it's the better and more prettier Latina" she told him
The door opened
"Oh...sorry Sofia" he mumbled
"It's ok...so Ma was bringing out the old lezzie jokes huh?"
Ben nodded
"I feel your pain" she smiled
Ben just sighed and sat down on his bed.
"So little bro what's crawled up your butt and died?" She asked
"Sofia that's a disturbing image" He cringed
"Well I don't mean literally" She huffed
Ben didn't respond
"Come on Ben, I'm your sister talk to me"
"There's nothing to talk about" He sighed
"Bullshit"
He sighed once again
"Charlie doesn't want or love me there you happy?" He snapped
"Ben-"
"No Sofia I don't want to talk about it ok? I already feel like a complete idiot so please I don't want to talk about it" He yelled
"Ok...ok we won't talk about it...right now." Sofia replied
"Sorry for yelling at you" He mumbled
Sofia just chuckled
"Ben...you silly goober your allowed to yell" She told him as she sat next to her brother putting an arm around his broad shoulders.
"I just feel so stupid" He mumbled
"Why?"
"Because this whole time she knew and she never said anything" He replied
"Well to be fair neither did you" Sofia added
"I know..."
"At least now you two have talked about it and know where you both stand...maybe now you can move on" Sofia gently told him
Ben just nodded sadly
"I guess now isn't the best time to tell you that me and Gracie are getting married so I won't bring that up in your time if need" Sofia told him with a smile
Ben looked up surprised
"You finally asked her?" He asked
"No, she asked me" Sofia replied
Ben smiled
"Congratulations Sofia" He pulled her in for a hug
~~~ Back at the Hospital ~~~
Quinn sat there literally twiddling her thumbs she was that bored. She had just got off the phone with Rachel. The brunette had been going on and on about the upcoming wedding. Apparently Rachel, Brittany and Judy had assigned themselves as the wedding planners; Grace and Sofia were unaware of this.
She was so thankful when Georgia came in to do her rounds of checking Quinn's vitals.
"Oh thank god. Human life!" Quinn sighed
The nurse just laughed
"How are you feeling today?"
"I'm so bored!" Quinn whined
"Well you'll be happy to know that we will be getting you out of bed soon." She informed her
"Really?"
Georgia nodded
"We need to start your rehabilitation and get that heart pumping and get it healthy again and also to see if there was any damage done while you were you know…dead. You were an athlete in high school right?"
Quinn nodded
"Cheerleader"
"Me too! Anyway what I'm getting at is that you are reasonably healthy but your cholesterol was seriously high which was the main cause of your heart attack. And because you technically died the oxygen to your brain was stopped and that can cause some problems but from what we've seen in your test result everything seems to be in working order. So with a regular fitness program and eating the right things you will recover a lot quicker"
"So when can I get out of bed?" Quinn asked
"Word on the grapevine...possibly this afternoon. But you'll have to wait till the doctor comes by for her approval" Georgia explained
Quinn nodded
"Well here's hoping" Quinn smiled
"Yep, well everything is looking good. Do you feel any discomfort?"
Quinn shook her head
"Excellent" Georgia smiled and wrote down stuff in her notes and then left.
There was a knock on the door then a little boy ran up to Quinn's bed.
"Hello Cooper!" Quinn signed with a big smile
Cooper smiled brightly and placed a bunch of cards on Quinn's lap. The blonde just chuckled and began to sort through the pile.
"Sorry about that...they got a little carried away" Becky smiled
"That's fine...I love them"
Becky nodded then leaded down to kiss Quinn on the cheek.
"How you feeling today?" She asked
"I'm fine" Quinn answered
"Good...you gave us quite a scare...Max and Hannah will be up soon she had to park the car and Max refuses to be around me so..." Becky explained
Quinn gave her a sympathetic look. She had seen firsthand Becky's breakdown when Hannah had kicked her out. Even though she hated what Becky did to Hannah, Quinn couldn't help but feel sorry for the blonde girl who pretty much became another daughter to her and Rachel. She also had some experience with a child not talking to their mother and being distant and it hurts like a mother fucker.
"Wait...are you saying you came with Hannah?" Quinn asked
Becky couldn't hold in the small smile when she nodded. Quinn quirked her eyebrow at that.
"Does that mean...?"
"I'm not sure yet but...it's looking slightly positive" Becky replied
"Yeah?" Quinn smiled
Becky just nodded
"Max don't run!" Hannah yelled after her son
Max ignored her and ran into Quinn's room. He was holding a big bunch of flowers and handed them over to Quinn.
"Aww thanks Max"
"Your welcome...are you still feeling sick Gran?" He asked
"A little but I'm getting better now that you guys are here…all together" She replied as she looked up at Hannah and Becky who were standing close together.
The family of four spent a couple of hours keeping Quinn company before they had to go back home. Hannah dropped Becky off at her apartment and told her to talk to Santana about the Valerie situation before she stalks her and goes all Snowtown on that bitch, Becky then told her to stop watching the History channel and the Crime channel.
~~~ Someone Like You ~~~
Ben stood at the Fabray house front door working up the courage to knock or at least ring the doorbell. After talking to Sofia and then Grace about his situation with one Charlotte Berry-Fabray he decided that enough was enough. He wasn't going to continue to hold onto something that clearly wasn't there. He had waited for ten years and he deserved to have some happiness too.
He finally psyched himself up and knocked on the door. He didn't have to wait long until Judy opened the door. The older woman smiled at seeing her Grandson.
"Benny! Give your Grams a hug!" She pulled him into a big bear hug before he could even begin to respond.
"Oh look at how handsome you are" She cooed and yes she even did the old lady cheek pinch.
"Hi Grandma" Ben smiled
"Who are you here for?" She asked
"I was wondering if Charlie was home" He mumbled
"Oh of course…she's up in her room. The little miss hasn't been down at all today…she's in a mood." Judy warned
Ben just nodded
"I swear she's just like your mother was when she was a teenager…only mixed with Rachel's personality and looks…it can either be the best combination or the worst…right now…it's the worst" Judy added
"Well…if I'm not back for dinner then tell my moms I love them and that Sofia can have my stuff" Ben smiled
Judy just laughed
"Well good luck sweetheart." She smiled then headed off back to the living room where they were discussing where was the best place to order a pumpkin style coach for Sofia to arrive in. Brittany had told then that everyone who travelled in a pumpkin style coach lived happily ever after…Shrek and Fiona did…Cinderella did…Brittany had also called Maria and so now there were four of them planning the wedding of the decade. Maria was overjoyed to be included because she wasn't there for Santana and Brittany's wedding and she was just so thankful that she could be there for her granddaughter's.
Brittany had also informed them of the Ben and Charlie situation, Rachel was surprised because Charlie hadn't said anything though it does explain her bad mood and the increase of diva moments.
Ben headed up the stairs and went to knock on Charlie's door.
"Go away Ma I'm not hungry" Charlie mumbled
"It's me Charlie" Ben said through the door
In record time the door was flung open and Charlie looked at Ben feeling terrible
"Hey" She mumbled softly
"Hey" He replied
They just sort of stood there
"Can I come in?" He asked
"Yeah sure"
Ben walked into the room and took a seat on Charlie's bed, Charlie closed the door and walked over to him though she didn't sit down she just crossed her arms around herself feeling slightly awkward.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you and being rude" Ben spoke first
"You don't have to apologise Ben"
"Yes I do…I shouldn't have done that…your mom just had a heart attack and I wasn't there for you" He mumbled
"Ben…you've done nothing but be there for me…always." Charlie quickly replied
"I'm in love with you Charlie…I have been for a long time" Ben admitted sadly
"I know" Charlie softly replied
"Do I have a chance? At all?" He asked
Charlie couldn't answer him she just looked down unable to reply
"I guess I just had to ask" He mumbled
"I'm sorry" Charlie replied
"Don't be…I'd prefer you were honest than lie to me" He sadly replied
"Are we going to be ok?" She hesitantly asked
"You're my best friend Charlie…that will never change" He replied with a sad smile
Charlie smiled in return as she quickly wiped away a tear that had fallen. She quickly moved over to her bed and hugged her friend.
~~~ Flannel, Pigtails and Horses ~~~
After their visit to the hospital Ally was feeling a little sad seeing her Gammy in a hospital bed and she wasn't even allowed to pick her up because her daddy told her that she wasn't well enough yet to do that so that just made her sad because she loved Gammy cuddles.
Toby tried offering ice-cream o cheer her up but that didn't work, he offered to give her a piggyback ride that didn't work either.
"What do you want to do pumpkin?" He asked the sad little girl
She just shrugged, Toby was getting desperate he hated seeing her upset so he decided to take Maya up on her offer.
"Hey how about you and me go meet up with Maya and go for a horse ride! Won't that be fun huh?" He asked with a big smile. That seemed to work as the little girl's face lit up.
"I gets to ride a pony?" She asked
"Yep" He smiled
"Yay!" Ally cheered then jumped onto her daddy's lap
"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" She yelled
Toby just laughed at her excitement.
After calling her up Maya was happy to take them out to the old ranch and set them up with the most awesomest pony for Ally to ride. Maya thought it was fate when she learnt that the pony Ally was going to ride was called Ariel.
When they got there Maya had the horses saddled up and ready to go, Toby had to make a trip home to change and change Ally because going horse riding in her pretty pink dress was not a great idea. Maya couldn't help but chuckle when she saw them. They were both wearing jeans with brown boots and matching red flannel shirts. They were an adorable pair. Toby had a baseball cap on while Ally's hair was in pigtails.
"Hey you two" She smiled
Toby returned the smile with one of his own Ally ran up and hugged Maya
"Well aren't you all adorable with your matching outfits" She smirked
Ally nodded with a big smile, Toby cringed a little
"It was Ally's idea." He mumbled
Maya tried not to laugh…she failed.
"Nice cast too…very…manly" She smiled
Toby just pouted
"I drewed them for daddy to make him feel better" Ally told her
"Well I'm sure it's working…isn't that right daddy?" Maya smirked
"Of course." He grumbled
"Yay! Let's go ride the horsies!" Ally cheered
"Alright pumpkin" He smiled
"I also brought food…in case we get hungry we could…stop and have a picnic" Maya suggested
"Can we feed the pony?" Ally asked
"We sure can…but after our ride. It's not fun to run with a full belly" Maya told her
"Okie dokie! Let's go!" Ally smiled
Maya and Toby both helped Ally get onto the horse and told her how to hold the rains. They walked with the pony and Ally around the small ranch the little girl was having a hoot of a time. Toby was glad and so was Maya. After about an hour on the pony Maya gave Ally a few carrots to feed her and every time she ate it Ally burst out giggling because it tickles.
"Alright pumpkin ready to go for a longer ride with me and Maya?" Toby asked
"Yeppers!" She cheered
Toby smiled and took her hand as he led her out to the field where Maya was with two horses. Toby tried to look like a cool dad as he tried to mount the horse but seeing as it had been a while he failed epically which just made Ally and Maya laugh.
"Daddy your silly" Ally giggled
"Daddy totally did that on purpose" Toby replied from the ground on which he was currently laying on.
Maya walked up to him and helped him up…then helped him get onto the horse.
"You right now?" She asked with a smirk
"Yes thank you" He replied trying to salvage his dignity
Maya just chuckled as she headed back over to get Ally. She picked the little girl up and helped her get onto the horse with her dad. Toby wrapped a protective arm around the girl's waist while he held onto the rains. Ally held onto the rains as well as they waited for Maya to get onto her horse.
"Ok we all ready?" She asked
Ally nodded excitedly
"Alright…follow me" Maya instructed
"Hold on tight pumpkin" Toby whispered
Ally did as she was told and Toby instructed the horse to follow Maya.
~~~ Walk Like An Egyptian ~~~
It was late afternoon as Quinn and Rachel sat and waited for the doctor to arrive to see if Quinn was ready to start getting up and walking around.
"I made a playlist for the occasion" Quinn informed her wife
She was bored all day!
"Oh? And what is on this playlist?" Rachel asked
Quinn handed Rachel her iPod and showed her, Rachel couldn't help but smile at the list of songs some of which included, Walk Like A Man, I'm Gonna Be (500 miles), Walk Like An Egyptian, Walk A Mile In My Shoes, and The Ants Go Marching.
"I love how adorably nerdy you are" Rachel smiled
"Hey nerds are in…I'm a super cool nerd everybody says so" Quinn smiled
"Yes ok sure whatever you say" Rachel chuckled
"Aww I've missed you today Rach." Quinn sighed
"I know me too…I'll spend all day tomorrow with you though and maybe we can go for a romantic stroll down the ward and have a picnic by the vending machines…maybe do a little sightseeing" Rachel smiled
"Totally" Quinn agreed with her own smile
"Knock, knock!" A young doctor came into the room holding Quinn's chart
"Hi….can I walk yet?" Quinn asked immediately
The doctor just smiled
"Well Mrs. Fabray all your test results are looking very good so yes you will be getting out of that bed today." She informed her
"Yes!" Quinn fist pumped
Rachel just smiled
"Now I have to warn you it won't be as easy as you remember it used to be and we will just have a walk around your room to get you started but after that we will be getting you up and down these halls and then out of this place" The doctor told her
"Awesome let's get started" Quinn smiled eagerly
"Alright then let's get you on those legs."
The doctor came over and got Rachel to help Quinn get up that was the easy part now she had to start walking. After being bed ridden for a few days and having heart surgery it was quite exhausting. Quinn held onto Rachel's arm as they walked around the room. Quinn was quite proud of herself. After her walk the doctor checked Quinn's blood pressure and heart rhythm.
"Good news everything is sounding and looking good." She smiled at the two
Rachel was very happy about that and gave her wife a kiss, Quinn was happy too but then that kiss kinda set her mind off to a thought that didn't sit too well. The doctor told them that tomorrow they will work on getting Quinn walking again and progressively getting her to go longer distances.
Rachel stayed with Quinn till visiting hours was over and Quinn told her to go home and sleep in a nice comfy bed and that she will see her tomorrow. Rachel didn't want to leave but Quinn insisted. As soon as she was gone Quinn paged her doctor.
"Was there something wrong?" She asked looking concerned
"Oh um…no….it's not…I just…I just wanted to ask you a question but if your too busy that's ok" Quinn told her
"No don't be silly, I was just about to head home so I'm not busy"
"You can go home I don't want to bother you" She said
"Mrs. Fabray I'm already here you might as well just ask" She told her
Quinn sighed
"Ok…it's…probably a stupid question and so not that much of an emergency but…I was just wondering…"Quinn mumbled
"Wondering?"
"With my heart attack…it's possible that it will happen again right?" She asked
"Well…there is always a risk of a second attack after already having one but that doesn't mean that it will happen." She replied
Quinn nodded
"But like…does this mean I won't be able to do stuff?" She asked
"You probably won't be able to enter any marathons in the near future no but people who have heart attacks can live full long lives."
"What about…sex?" She asked
The doctor just smiled
"Yes you can still have sex. Not right away though that kind of strain on the heart would not be good but after a few weeks you'll be fine to go back to having a healthy sex life." She told her
Quinn nodded
"But like…it could trigger another attack though?" She asked
"Possibly…though highly unlikely…sex is a form of exercise and the more exercise you have the better your chance at staying healthy. If you can climb two flights of stairs or walk a quarter of a mile then you can have sex."
Quinn didn't look very convinced
"I'll tell you what I tell all my heart patients about this topic…its best to go slow and you should let your partner do most of the 'heavy lifting' before you go back into your normal routine" She added
Quinn just nodded
"Is that all you wanted to know?" The doctor asked
"Yeah…thanks." Quinn replied
~~~ At Home With The Pierces ~~~
Brittany and Santana were cuddled up in bed together after the Latina finally dragged her wife away from the bridal magazines. She kind of felt sorry for Sofia and Grace for what they were going to find themselves in…but then it also made her laugh so it was all good.
Santana was currently giving Brittany her sweet lady kisses while the blonde ran her fingers through her Latina's hair. It was just one of those sweet moments between the couple.
"Mmm…baby guess what?" Santana murmured
"What?"
"This weekend…be ready to swoon because I am totally gonna rock your world and romance the pants off of you" She smiled
"Really what are we doing?" She asked excitedly
"It's a surprise" Santana giggled
Brittany pouted but Santana just kissed her lips and smiled
"The Pierce pout won't work this time my lovely"
"Not fair Sanny"
"Come on Britt-Britt you love my surprises" Santana smirked
Brittany couldn't help but smile…its true she did love Santana's many surprises. Like her surprise lap dances that she would get or her surprise visits to her work that would end with them totally doing it in Brittany's office and then there was that one time when they did the teacher/student role play and Santana even showed up in her old Cheerios uniform…that was a good day.
"Ooh that reminds me we should totally invite Coach Sylvester to the wedding!" Brittany announced then got out of bed to write that down in her folder
Santana sighed and flopped onto the bed…damn her daughter for being ridiculously happy and wanting to get married…how dare she!
Once again I'm still not sure what to do with Chen...I've got two rough storylines for these two crazy kids...both filled with that good old angst but there is also lots of fluffy goodness too...so...for now we shall just see how it goes.
There will be more Grafia wedding plans next chapter
Also Quinn will be getting out of hospital
And Santana tries to have her epic romantic date with Britt-Britt.
