It was the last week before senior year and Santana, Rachel and Quinn where sitting in the living room after Ava had gone to bed.

"What are we going to do about Ava when we have to go to school again?" asked Quinn

"Since she likes gymnastics so much she could be there a couple of days? Not every single day though because we don't want to make it seem like we don't have time for her." said Rachel who wasn't sure if it was even an option that the little girl could be there for so long.

"We could see if there is still the nice neighbour who watched me when I was little, she lives next door from my house" said Santana because she liked the old women she went to a lot because she was so nice to her.

"We could visit her and ask if she would have a problem with Ava and if Ava likes her. She will go to preschool pretty soon anyway." said Rachel who knew that the little girl was really smart.

"Then it is settled what we are doing tomorrow. We could also get Ava some easy textbooks so she would get used to learning and reading; but only the easy ones for the beginners." said Santana and looked Rachel directly in the eye because Rachel always want to be on top but the little girl shouldn't have to life like that at the young age she is.

"I know what you are thinking Rach; if she likes the book you can get her some that are more difficult. Okay?"

"Okay, I see your point..." Rachel's Dads gave Rachel her first textbook when she was three so she knew what she had to do and could easily go to a higher class.

They all talked a little longer until they all got a little tired. Santana and Rachel cuddled in their bed until they fell asleep. Quinn read her book until she couldn't read a single word because her eyelids where so heavy and it was all blurry.

...

In the morning Ava was the first awake like almost every day but waited in her room until her mama, mommy or Auntie Quinn came to her room so she would help them a little with breakfast and watch some cartoons.

That morning Auntie Q came and Ava got ready for the day ahead. She helped with making the fruit salad for Rachel before Quinn asked her a question.

"Sweetie, do you want to wake up your mama and mommy?"

"Really, I can do that?" asked Ava because she wasn't allowed to wake any of them before.

"Sure go ahead, if you want you could even jump on the bed if they don't wake up." said Quinn and Ava walked silently to the room where her mommy and mama were still asleep.

Quinn looked in there room before so she know that they weren't naked or doing anything. She thought Ava would have a lot of fun because jumping on her parents' bed was always fun for her when she was little. Ava opened the door and walked to the bed in which Santana and Rachel were sleeping.

Ava walked to Santana's side of the bed and tugging on her sleeve "mama you have to wake up" she said in a voice to not wake up Rachel but the Latina didn't wake up.

After a couple more minutes and her mommy and mama weren't awake she got on top of the bed and started jumping up and down "Mama, mommy you have to wake up! Auntie Quinn and I made breakfast for you." said the little girl while jumping up and down which was a lot of fun.

After Rachel registers some movement in her bed she curled herself in a ball because she didn't want to wake up just yet.

"What the heck is jumping on the bed Rach?" asked Santana in an angry but sleepy voice.

Ava immediately froze with fear and stopped jumping. Santana opened her eyes after another minute and saw a slightly afraid Ava standing on her bed.

"Oh sweetie I didn't know you wanted to wake us up; I'm sorry if I scared you, come here." said Santana and Ava snuggled next to her on the bed between Santana and Rachel.

"How do we wake up mommy now?" asked the little girl her mama

"I know a couple of ways to do that but how would you do it little one?"

"I would tickle her but is she ticklish?"

"Oh she is really ticklish, you just have to be careful because she might hit you while she wakes up." said Santana and gave her little girl a kiss on the head.

Ava started to move so she could tickle Rachel better. She started with light tickling but that didn't affect her mommy at all so she looked back at her mama who had a big smile on her face.

"Do you want me to tickle her as well?" the girl nodded and both started to attack Rachel in her sleep.

...

Quinn was downstairs waiting patiently for the other people she considered family. She heard some screams from Rachel which meant that they all were awake now because Santana was a really light sleeper and Rachel slept like a stone. After waiting ten more minutes the three came downstairs and sat at the table.

"Q, did you make the coffee?"

"Of course I did Santana but I was so thirsty that I drank all of it, sorry." said Quinn who already made some new coffee but wanted to see the priceless face Rachel did and started laughing.

"I made new one for you silly. Do you think that I don't know that you can't live without your cup in the morning?" questioned Quinn and gave Santana and Rachel each a cup.

"Don't ever mess with me and coffee especially when you send the little one to us who started jumping on the bed in the morning, we could have slept a little while longer."

"Well I know that but I thought that it would be fun for Ava. Wouldn't you agree Ava?"

"It was, but am I not allowed to do it again?" asked Ava as she ate the last bit of fruit on her plate.

"Well I don't have a problem if you wake me up jumping on the bed but never tickle me again like that sweetie." said Rachel after she started to eat the fruit salad Ava made.

"Mama did it too!" She points at Santana and all four of them burst out in laughter.

...

Later that day

"San could we see if your neighbour still lives there and visit her today?" asked Rachel after everybody was sitting in the living room and had nothing important to do.

"We could see if she still lives there; there wouldn't be any harm in it. Quinn you want to come with us?"

"Why not? We don't have anything else planed for the day. We could go in ten minutes; Ava do you want to go in the clothes or change because we are going to visit some really nice people." asked Quinn because Ava had a white t-shirt and a short skirt on. It was a bit too casual if they were trying to make a good impression.

"Mama, can I wear my yellow dress with the flowers in it?" Ava asked Santana because she really loved the bright dresses that the girls dressed her in too go out in.

"Sure, come on sweetie, I help you change and then we can go."

Santana took Ava's hand in hers and they walked upstairs together. Ava changed in the beautiful dress and Santana braided her hair so it looked extra pretty.

...

They all got into Santana's car and drove the short distance to the house that was still quite familiar to Santana.

The old car the women had for a very long time was in her driveway but other than that it looked exactly how Santana remembered it from her childhood. They all walked up to the nice house and waited for Santana to do something. After a while Santana rang the doorbell and they all waited.

As the door opened they saw a good looking old women standing there and looking at them.

"Santana is that you?"

"Si, it is nice to see you again Nana!"

"And who are those lovely ladies?"

"Oh sorry, that is my girlfriend Rachel; my best friend Quinn and the little one right here is Ava." said Santana and pointed to all of them.

"Well come inside on this lovely day." Inside they all sat in the beautiful living room which immediately felt homely.

"Well Mija why are you visiting me? I know that you wouldn't come here if you didn't want something from me." said Ms Torres with a slight smile on her face because she knows Santana perfectly well. Rachel giggles a little at the fact this old woman makes Santana blush slightly even though "Santana Lopez never blushes".

"Well since you said it already, we came here to ask a really big favour of you. It is really important and would mean a lot to all three of us."

"Come on spill it Mija, do you need money or what? Because I thought that your parents left you enough..."

"No nothing like that! Well you see we have a little girl here and I wanted to ask since school starts soon if you could maybe watch her for a little while, but not every day?" asked Santana feeling really worried even though she hoped that she would say yes.

The old women had a smile on her face "Well couldn't you have just said that first? I was a little worried because you all had such a serious expression on your face. Of course I would love to watch her; she looks like a lovely girl."

"Oh thank God, I was a little worried; I thought I could ask since you watched me when I was little as well." Santana sighed with relief.

"No need to worry about that. How old is the little girl?"

"I'm five years old" said Ava shyly.

"Well that is nice, I didn't know anyone of you were pregnant." said the older women who was curious where the little girl came from.

Santana looked directly at Quinn with a pleading look. Quinn knew that this was Santana asking her to go outside with Ava so she can talk to her Nana properly.

"Come with me Ava; I'll show you the garden with the beautiful flowers in it." said Quinn and took her hand. After Quinn shut the door to the garden tightly Santana started again.

"One day in the first week of the holidays Rachel and I went to the grocery store for a big shop and a little girl was sitting in front of it all alone. We were sort of in a rush and we both forgot the coffee so Rachel went later that day to the same grocery store and the girl was still sitting there. So she called me and since then we have been taking care of her." Santana told her Nana with a shy smile on her face.

"Oh well that's certainly a story; what does Ava think of the three of you?"

"Well Ava really likes to live with us because she told us a little bit about her parents and what they did wasn't human. Ms Miller from the CPS likes us too so we got the all clear to keep her with us and after a year or so we can adopt her properly."

"Well that sounds good she looks like a nice little girl. I have to look after my niece on certain days as well but I could watch them both if you don't mind Ava having company."

"That sounds really great actually that Ava would have somebody she could play with; how old is your niece?" Rachel asks politely after taking Santana's hand in hers because this was going really well.

"I think she is five as well. She might have turned six recently though..." The old woman thought about it but she was nearly sure that her niece was only five.

"Well Nana as long as it isn't too much trouble for you to handle both of them that would be perfect." Santana smiles at Rachel before looking to the old woman again.

"I managed to look after you when you were younger didn't I? I am sure I can handle anything after those eight years." The three of them all laughed because even though Santana didn't like to admit it she was a little hard to handle sometimes. Rachel definitely knew where the woman was coming from.

"That is a fair point Nana. School starts back in a week so I will be in contact with you sometime later this week. Is that okay for you?"

"Of course Mija; let me give you my phone number. I will be back in a minute because my memory isn't as good as it used to be." Ms Torres got up off the arm chair and left Rachel and Santana in the living room alone.

"I can't believe that this went so well San. I love you so much for thinking of this." Rachel leans in and pecks Santana sweetly on the lips.

"I actually can believe it because Nana was always so good to me." Santana says but is stopped from saying anything else as Ava runs into the living room with a big smile on her face.

"Mama, Mommy! Guess what I saw!" Ava is breathing very quickly from running all the way in from the garden and half pants out her words.

"What did you see baby?" Rachel asks her after lifting her to sit on her lap.

"I saw lots of different flowers in the garden. They were all so pretty and Quinn told me the names of some of them." Quinn walks in and sits back down on her seat and Santana smiles gratefully at her. Quinn didn't want to be like a mother to Ava but it was clear that she loved her and enjoyed spending time with her.

"Could you tell me some of the names then?"

"Well I saw some roses that were red and yellow; Quinn said to not get close though because they were spiky. And then there were some tulips that were bright pink. I liked them the best!" Ava says and her breathing gets quite fast again because she got excited after thinking of all the flowers.

"Wow they are my favourites too!" Santana hi fives Ava and the little girl giggles at her. Ms Torres walks back in again and hands a piece of paper to Santana.

"Thank you so much for doing this Ms Torres; it really means a lot." Rachel thanks the old woman.

"Oh it is no bother dear; I love the company and they keep me busy."

"We should probably get going now Nana. I don't want to take up any more of your time; we will definitely be visiting a lot more anyway." Santana gets up and hugs the old woman. All the girls walk out into the hall and Ms Torres waves them off at her door.

It is only early afternoon and all three of the older girls are sure that Ava will want to practice outside on a nice day like this. Exercising in the back garden doesn't seem like a fun thing to most people but it is part of the routine in this small family. That is what the four of them are no matter what anyone else thinks. Rachel and Santana smile at each other; both of them thinking that things are finally falling into the right place after all this time.
