Author's Note: I am so sorry it took so long to update. I have to be inspired to write. This chapter probably isn't that great so I'm sorry for that. I do not own Glee or Smile by Charlie Chaplin. Thank you for all your kind words. I love you all so much. Here's the update.

Rachel woke up later that day in a daze, wondering where she was. Then, the memories of that morning came back to her and Quinn and Santana were sitting in the kitchen. She sat up on the couch and said, "Where are Mrs. Pierce and Brittany?"

"They had to go to the hospital because Brittany is very sick," Santana said, her throat tightening, as Quinn rubbed Santana's back.

They both walked to where Rachel was sitting. Quinn put a hand on her forehead and said, "How are you feeling? Your head feels a lot cooler than it did earlier."

"I'm feeling better. I'll just have to keep taking medicine for a couple days, I guess." Rachel replied.

After a few moments of silence, Rachel asked, "Are we going to be able to go see Brittany? I want to see her."

"Yes, we can go visit Brittany later, but we have to make sure you're feeling better first." Quinn replied.

"Okay," Rachel replied.

After a few more hours at home, Rachel's temperature stayed normal, so they decided to go to the hospital and visit Brittany.

When they reached Brittany's room in the hospital, Brittany looked all but unconscious.

Santana walked up to Mrs. Pierce, gave her a hug and asked, "How's she doing?"

"She's really sick. I don't know what's wrong with my baby. I just want her to be okay," Mrs. Pierce sobbed. Santana sighed and rubbed her back.

After a few minute of composing herself, Mrs. Pierce said, "How about me, Quinn and Rachel go get some coffee and some snacks and you can talk to Brittany for a little bit?"

"Yea, that sounds good," Santana replied.

After Quinn, Rachel, and Mrs. Pierce left the room, Santana knelt down so her face could be even with Brittany's, gently took her best friend's hand and said, "I know you've been through a lot lately, but I just want you to be happy. You're an amazing person and I love you so much. You don't deserve to hurt at all. You deserve a long, happy life. I wish you would let us in. I know you're trying to push us away by shutting down. Please let me, Rachel, your mom, Quinn, one of us inside your walls. Please let us help you. Baby, I just…I want you to be happy again. I want you to genuinely smile again. And I know it's hard right now because Jesse, that stupid bastard took so much away from you. But he can't take away your happiness. Don't let him take away your smile, your happiness. I need to see that in you again, Britt. I love you so much. And I know you're not going to want to but give the therapy thing a try, yeah? It might help a lot. I just want you to be happy."

Nearing the end of her speech, Santana realized there were tears in her eyes but she didn't care. She'd meant every word of what she said to Brittany. After a few minutes, she pulled herself together and started to sing.

"Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow,

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness although a tear may be ever so near.

That's the time you must keep on trying,

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile.
