Chapter 10: Decisions and Hiding Part 2
Santana collapsed onto Dani's chest once again, in her room. "Oh God Santana, I missed you so much…" Dani breathed out. "I missed you too… I almost forgot how well we worked together…" Santana said grinning. "I agree…" Dani said, kissing her softly. "Did you talk to Jamie last night?" Santana asked, kissing Dani's chest. "Y—Yes I did…" Dani stuttered. "How did it go?" Santana murmured. Dani sighed. "She said she's not ready for any of this yet… I tried to reason with her, but it didn't work… I was thinking maybe we could keep this a little secret until Jamie's ready… I know that's a lot to ask for, but I'm not giving up on you, Santana…" Dani said. Santana sighed. "I won't lose you again, Santana… I love you…" Dani told her. "I love you too, sweetheart. I think for now it will be okay… Besides secretly meeting you places will be super sexy!" Santana said, grinning. "I promise, it won't be long…" Dani replied. Weeks later, Dani was in her room, getting ready for another secret date with Santana. Ari was helping brush Dani's hair cutely. Jamie walked in and saw her niece brushing her sister's hair. "Hey there beautiful girls!" Jamie called.
"Hi Aunt Jamie! I'm brushing Mommy's hair!" Ari said cutely. "I see that baby! You're doing such a good job! How about you go play for a while? I'll take over for you!" Jamie told her. Ari nodded and went to go play. Jamie continued to brush Dani's hair in silence. "This is the 12th date who've had with this girl, Dani… Shouldn't you tell Santana? Or you know, introduce her to me and the kids?" Jamie finally asked. Dani sighed. "Jamie, you know I'm not going on dates, this is strictly business. You know I've been looking for a job, since Santana left…" Dani said not looking at Jamie. "Dani, you know I can see right through your lies..." Jamie said sternly. "Okay, fine! It's been dates! But Jamie, I have something to tell you…" Dani said seriously. "What is it, Dani?" Jamie asked. Dani sighed. "Oh God… It's serious, isn't it?" Jamie asked. "It is because I—" Then her phone alarm went off. "Oh jeez! I'm late for my date! Thanks for watching the kids again, Jamie! Love you!" Dani said, kissing her forehead and running out. "You're welcome!" Jamie called after her. Dani met up at the hotel bar with Santana. "Hey beautiful, come here often?" Santana asked with a grin. "Yes I do! I missed you, Santana…" Dani said, kissing her softly. "I missed you too. Did something happen at home? You're never late for any of our dates… Are the kids alright?" Santana asked. "Yes the kids are fine, Ari did my hair tonight!" Dani said, showing off. "Oo! Our little girl will be a stylist!" Santana said, laughing. "But I mean, Jamie almost caught onto us… I almost told her…" Dani said. "Oh… I know that this is really fun to do with you Dani, like I absolutely love our secret and sexy date nights, but telling Jamie is the best thing for us…" Santana said. Dani smiled and sipped on her drink. "C'mon, let's go to our room and get our sexy time on!" Santana said, grabbing her hand. Both girls giggled when going into the elevator.
Meanwhile, Jamie was playing with the kids on the floor. Jane walked in and went immediately upstairs. "Not even going to talk to me?" Jamie called. "What's to say, Jamie? Our family is torn apart!" Jane said. "Please don't yell at me in front of the kids…" Jamie mumbled. Jane nodded and went upstairs. Hours of playing later, Dani came home with Santana. "Dani! Why is Santana with you?" Jamie asked. "Because it's my night with the kids…" Santana said, covering for Dani. "Oh, right. I'll go get their bags." Jamie said, running upstairs. Ari ran up to Santana and Dani picked up DJ. "Ari, have you been keeping our secret from Aunt Jamie?" Santana asked. Ari nodded and zipped her lips cutely. "That's my girl!" Dani said. Jamie came back down with the bags. Dani handed DJ to Santana. "Alright, I'll take the bags to her car. I'll be right back." Dani assured Jamie. They walked to the car and buckled the kids in. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay? I'll tell Jamie, tonight. Promise." Dani said, kissing Santana's cheek. "Okay, see you tomorrow. I love you." Santana said kissing Dani secretly. "I love you too." Dani replied. She watched them drive away and then went back into the house. Dani closed the door and saw Jamie lying on the couch asleep. Dani smiled and picked her up. Jamie immediately woke up and looked at her. "Why did you pick me up?" Jamie asked. "To take you to your bed, silly! Jane's missing you by now, I bet!" Dani said. Jamie jumped out of Dani's arms. "I haven't told you something…" Jamie confessed. "What is it Jamie? You know you can tell me anything…" Dani said. Jamie sighed. "Jane and I are having problems because of this as well…" Jamie spat out. "W—What? What kind of problems?" Dani asked. "Not speaking to each, not sleeping in the same room, things like that… Dani, I'm scared that she'll want a divorce…" Jamie said, starting to cry.
"Jamie… Jane absolutely loves you, just like Santana loves me… We can all work things out, if you let Santana come home… We can start small and work our way up to the top, okay?" Dani said, hugging her sister. "I think that would be best. I mean if the four of us got together and talked, things will work out, right?" Jamie asked, sniffling. "Jamie, yes! That will totally work. You and Santana just need to talk things out, and everyone will be in their right spot here." Dani assured her sister. Jamie nodded and went back to the couch to fall asleep for the night. Meanwhile at the Lopez house, Santana was asleep in her bed, dreaming of Dani. All of a sudden she heard Ari and DJ whining and doors slamming shut and a bunch of other noises. Santana groaned. "Mama really needs to stop watching Cops in the middle of the night! Wakes the kids up." She mumbled to herself. Santana got up and went to the kids' bedroom. She looked around and neither child was to be found. "Hm. That's strange. Maybe they're in Mama's room." Santana said. She went into her mother's room and saw no one in there. She searched the whole house and no one was to be found. Her mother's car was gone and both over night bags were gone as well. She saw a note on the kitchen table that read:
Santana,
I've taken the children and we are going somewhere you'll never find us. Unless you stop screwing around with that slut you call a wife, you will never see your precious children again. I know you'll make the right decision for them and yourself.
Xoxo, Mama
"Oh my God… My mother kidnapped Arianna and DJ!" Santana shouted to herself. She immediately called Dani in fear. Dani sleepily reached over to her phone and answered. "H—Hello?" "Dani! Oh my God, Oh my God!" Santana freaked out. "Santana? What's wrong?" Dani asked with concern. "The kids! They're… They're gone! My mother kidnapped them! Oh my God Dani!" Santana cried. "What? She kidnapped our kids? Oh my God! Santana what are we going to do?" Dani asked with panic. "She said the only way I'll get the kids back is if I stop seeing you, and that's not going to happen. I love you too much, Dani!" Santana said. "Santana this is our children we are talking about! I love them! And you!" Dani shouted. "We'll figure something out! Just… Try to stay calm, and I'll call the cops!" Santana told her. "Okay… I love you…" Dani said. "I love you too." Santana said, hanging up the phone. Dani ran downstairs and woke up Jamie. "Jamie! Jamie wake-up! Jamie!" Dani said, shaking Jamie. "W—What? Dani what is so damn important?" Jamie grumbled. "The kids! They got kidnapped! By Santana's mom! Jamie I'm so scared!" Dani said, crying. "What? How? When? Why?" Jamie asked. "It's because of me! Jamie I slept with Santana over 10 times before I talked to you tonight… I just missed her so much, and it's all my fault the kids are gone…" Dani sobbed.
"Why did you lie to me?" Jamie asked. "Because I knew you'd be mad at me! You never could be ready for Santana to come back!" Dani shouted. "Well it's not my fault this happened!" Jamie shouted back. "Yes it so is! You made me feel guilty, so I kicked Santana out! You being fired was your own damn fault, Jamie! I was trying to be nice at hat moment, but no longer! It was your fault you were fired because you broke the rules!" Dani told her. "Now wait just a minute! I had to defend myself, because I was getting picked on at work! Yes, there were multiple ways I could've handled it, but I did it the way I thought worked best! Isn't that what you taught me, Dani?" Jamie asked. "Yes, I taught you to defend for yourself, but not in a way to get yourself fired!" Dani reminded her. "Santana should have been on my side!" Jamie shouted. "Why do you hate me so much? Do you truly hate me so much that you make me kick my own wife out for something you did?" Dani asked. "I don't hate you, Dani. You know that." Jamie told her. "Well, you don't show it!" Dani yelled. "I tell you everyday that I love you!" Jamie screamed. "Saying it doesn't mean anything, Jamie! If you truly loved me, you would have seen me hurting inside! I love Santana, Jamie! I love her so much I can barely see straight when I'm near her!" Dani cried. Jamie stayed silent, listening to her sister. "I love her and you, but she is the mother of my children. Those children are missing, Jamie! In that moment, I chose her over you, because I love her more than I've ever loved anyone else." Dani said. "I love Jane like that too…" Jamie said quietly. "Okay, so you understand that. Jamie, why did you make me do that to my family?" Dani asked. "Because! I wanted things to go back to the way they were! You know… Before Santana… Just you… and me…" Jamie cried. "Jamie! Things can never go back to that! We've moved on from that! We're both married, and I have two children of my own that are counting on me! They are also counting on you!" Dani told her. "I know… So what can we do about this?" Jamie said. "Santana's calling the cops right now, maybe you should wake Jane up and tell her what's going on…" Dani told her. Jamie nodded and went upstairs.
Santana was at the Lopez house and the cops searched the house and were talking to her. "Okay, we promise to look everywhere we can for your children, Mrs. Lopez. Don't worry. Keep your phone on and we will keep in touch with you." Santana nodded and watched them leave. Santana then drove over to Millie and Frank's. Santana updated them on the situation and tried to stay strong. "I'm so sorry I lost track of your grandchildren! I had no idea my mother was capable of something like this…" Santana said. "This isn't your fault, Santana… Does Dani know about this?" Frank asked. "Yes, I called her…" Santana said quietly. "I just hung up with Dani and she said the cops are there searching now. You might want to go there to support her." Millie said. Santana nodded and went on her way to the house. Once there, she saw Dani sitting on the couch, with her hands over her face. "Dani!" Santana said, running towards her. "Santana!" Dani said. The two hugged for a long time. Jamie came down the stairs and watched them. "San, I'm so scared… What if we never find them?" Dani cried into her. "No, don't say that. We'll find them. My mother would never put them in any harm. We'll find them Dani, no matter what it costs." Santana said, looking up at Jamie. Jamie came downstairs to the two girls. "Did they find anything on the kids?" Jamie asked. "No, not yet." Dani said, sniffling.
Jamie nodded and looked to the floor. "Jamie, can I talk to you for a second?" Santana asked. "Sure." Jamie replied. Santana took Jamie aside and sighed. "Okay look, we've been butting heads for too long now. It's getting ridiculous. You're only sister in has been put through enough by both of us. So I just say for now we forgive and forget, because the last thing she needs is stress from us!" Santana mumbles to Jamie. "I agree. Dani needs us more than ever. We'll settle our differences when the kids are home safe and sound." Jamie replied. Santana nodded and both went back to Dani. Santana wrapped an arm around Dani's waist and Dani put her head onto Santana's shoulder. A cop came up to the couple. "We may have a lead on your children. We need you both to come with us." The cop announced. Dani and Santana immediately followed the cops to an unknown house. "Wait a minute, I know this house!" Santana said. "Who lives here, Santana?" Dani asks. "My father…" Santana said quietly. Suddenly Santana turned to Dani. "Dani, I need you to stay here, okay? My Mama won't give us the kids if you come with. We need her to think I left you, okay? Stay here until I give the cops the signal, okay?" Santana asked. Dani nodded and hugged Santana. "Go all Lima Heights on her ass, San…" Dani said with a small smile. "Trust me baby, I'll do more than that if she even laid a finger on either child." Santana said.
Santana went into the house quietly. "Mama? It's me, Santana… Please, let my children go! I listened to you, Mama! You were right! Dani's gone, I can promise you that… Please… Let me see my children… I need to know that they are safe!" Santana called, trying not to cry. Then DJ crawled out onto the floor and smiled when he saw Santana. "DJ! Oh my God! Come here baby!" Santana called. DJ's smile got bigger and crawled faster towards Santana. Santana picked him up and hugged him tightly. "Now Mama… Where's Arianna? Give me my daughter…" Santana called, holding DJ tightly. Mrs. Lopez came out with Ari on a kiddie leash. "Mama!" Ari cried. "Arianna! Oh my God! Mama, let her go! Please!" Santana cried. "No, Santana! Not until I'm sure you're here alone!" Mrs. Lopez told her. "What? I am here alone! Dani is not here!" Santana shouted. "It's not Dani I'm worried about." Mrs. Lopez said. "Well, what did you think Mama? You didn't think I would call the police, did you? You kidnapped my children, what did you think I was going to do? I panicked!" Santana shouted. "Well, I can't and will not go to prison, so until you send those cops away, Arianna will stay with me." Mrs. Lopez. That's when something deep inside Santana broke. A nearby cop came by and took DJ to Dani in a far off police vehicle.
"Now is every cop gone, Santana?" Mrs. Lopez asked again. "There's only one here, just in case." Santana said through her teeth. Santana looked to Ari and she had fear in her eyes. "Hand Ari over before you get hurt, Mama. I don't want to hurt you, but I will if you keep my daughter over there for one more second…" Santana warned. Mrs. Lopez and Santana had a glaring match for a while. "Why didn't you listen to me when I warned you about Dani? I said 'I don't trust her, mija!' Or 'You deserve better!' But no! You had your heart set on this girl! And you keep getting hurt over and over again! Your father and I only helped with the wedding because we knew if we didn't, we'd never hear the end of it! I don't care if you are a lesbian or not, mija, but you can find a better girl than that… That…" "Watch what you say about my wife, Mama… This is your last warning. Give me Ari, and no one gets hurt." Santana warned. "No… Not this time, Santana…" Mrs. Lopez said, as she put a cloth over Ari's mouth. "ARI! NO!" Santana shouted. Ari immediately collapsed onto the floor. Then about 15-20 cops came in and arrested Mrs. Lopez. "You haven't seen the last of me, Santana! I'll be back!" She shouted as the cops took her away. Santana immediately ran over to Ari and cried. "Arianna… I'm so sorry… This is all my fault…" Santana cried. Dani came running in and saw Ari. "Oh my God… Is she?" Dani tried to say, but couldn't finish. "No! She's not dead! She's just knocked out!" Santana said through her tears. Hospital personal came rushing in and put Ari on the stretcher. "Don't worry, Arianna will be just fine, we just have to put some drugs in he system to wake her up." An attendant assured them. Dani, Santana and DJ immediately followed them to the hospital. On the way to the hospital, the song Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift played.
I remember tears streaming down your face Just close your eyes Don't you dare look out your window, darling, Just close your eyes Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh Just close your eyes Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
In the waiting room, Jamie sat with Jane, Millie and Frank. Then Santana, Dani and DJ came rushing in. Dani immediately handed DJ to Jamie and ran with Santana to find Ari. Jamie handed DJ to Frank and went after the two. Finally, she found them in Ari's hospital room. "Guys, what happened? What's wrong with Ari?" Jamie asked. "My mother put a cloth over her face and she got knocked out…" Santana cried. "The doctor said she'll be fine, but we're staying over night, so she when she wakes up, we're here for here… Together…" Dani said, holding Santana's hand. Jamie felt a single tear drop from her eye as she heard the news of her sweet, little niece.
