Chapter 11: Putting the Family Back Together
Santana and Dani lied on the floor of Ari's hospital room together, fast asleep. Ari woke up and rubbed her eyes, and immediately got excited when she saw her parents. "Mama! Mommy!" Ari shouted. Both women shot up and rubbed their eyes. "What?" Dani asked, yawning. "I'm up, I'm up! What happened?" Santana asked. Both looked over to Ari, who was smiling from ear to ear. "Oh my God! Ari!" Santana said, walking up to hug her. Santana hugged her daughter tightly in her arms. Dani smiled at them, letting Santana have her moment. "I was so scared we had lost you, sweetheart. I promise, Abuela will never touch you again…" Santana told Ari. "Why did Abuela take us away, Mama?" Ari asked. "Because she doesn't like Mommy, but you know what?" Santana asked "What, what?" Ari replied excitedly. "We love Mommy, right? So that's all that matters! You, me and DJ all love Mommy!" Santana said, ticking her. Ari giggled and nodded.
Dani knew that was her cue to come over. "Hey baby girl! How do you feel?" Dani asked, hugging her. "I feel good! Now that you and Mama are here with me…" Ari said, snuggling into Dani. "Yeah? Well, Mama and I will always be together, okay? No more separate houses. Mama is coming home…" Dani said with a smile. Ari's face lit up and she tackled Dani in a hug. Santana smiled hugely and joined the tackle hug. A few hours later, Dani and Santana brought Ari back home. Everyone was waiting there for her. Eventually, Santana and Dani got the chance to sit down and relax together. "You know, we've been to that hospital more than anyone I know…" Dani said, laughing. "I know! They know us pretty damn well!" Santana agreed, laughing as well. Jamie watched the two girls from afar. "Spying on your sister, are we?" Jane asked her. "I'm still not on good terms with Santana. Why is here, anyways?" Jamie mumbled. "Because, the war is over, Jamie! Santana is staying here, no matter how or what you feel. Dani is in-charge of her relationship with Santana, not you." Jane told her as she walked away. Jamie sighed and continued to watch the couple.
Once the get-together died down and people went home, Dani and Santana put the kids to bed for the night. Jamie was waiting for the couple in their room. Dani and Santana entered, kissing each other, not noticing Jamie. Jamie cleared her throat to catch their attention. "Yes?" Dani mumbled, still kissing Santana. "Umm… I wanted to talk to you both about… About me getting fired and our huge fight, thing…" Jamie said, trying to concentrate on her words. "Not now, Jamie. Santana and I are busy…" Dani mumbled again. "Okay, well can you tell me when you will be available, because this is important!" Jamie stated. Dani groaned and looked to Jamie. "Jamie, can't you take a hint? San and I are busy and clearly don't want to talk about it! Haven't you caused enough trouble, lately? Go fix your relationship with Jane or something, just leave us alone!" Dani said, pushing Jamie out of her room. Jamie was about to say something more when the door was shut in her face. Jamie sighed and went to her room, to find a note on her bed.
Jamie,
I've gone back to my parents' house to live for a while. I don't know who this person you're turning into is, but I know it isn't the woman I married or love. When you are ready to talk about this, please call me.
Jane
Jamie sighed sadly and she threw the note into the trashcan. "Why? Why does this always happen to me? I just try to do what's best, and it's never good enough! And then, I try to apologize, and it's just… SHIT!" Jamie cried into her pillow. Jane was rocking herself on her bed, crying as well. "Why does she always overreact to things? Why does she always push me away?" Jane cried to herself. Dani and Santana had things heating up by them. "Do you… Do you think I was hard on Jamie?" Dani choked out. "No baby, you were fine! Sometimes you just have to be stern with the people you love… Jamie needs to know what she did really hurt us, and we aren't backing down…" Santana reminded her. "So do you think we'll be totally alone for the night? I mean the kids might have nightmares, San…" Dani asked. "And if they do, we'll be here for them. I promise, we'll be done before either one cries or runs in." Santana promised. Santana decided to sing I Think We're Alone Now by Tiffany.
Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can I think we're alone now Look at the way
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'cause what would they say
If they ever knew
And so we're
Running just as fast as we can I think we're alone now
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me
And we tumble to the ground
And then you say
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
Weeks went by, and Jamie tried to talk to Santana and Dani about the fight, and neither of them would talk about it. Jamie started to become more and more miserable. With Jane gone and her sister not talking to her, was killing her. The only people that would talk to her in the house were Ari and DJ. One day, Ari was brushing Jamie's hair and Jamie was rolling DJ on the floor. "Aunt Jamie, where did Aunt Jane go?" Ari asked. "She moved out for a while, sweetheart…" Jamie told her. "But why?" Ari asked again. Dani and Santana spied on the conversation, not hearing a word about this. "Because I hurt her feelings… And Aunt Jane might never come back… But it's nothing you should worry about, sweetheart…" Jamie assured her. Dani took Santana upstairs. "San, this has to be heart-breaking for Jamie! We have to let her in!" Dani said, about to go downstairs. "No! Dani come back here!" Santana said, pulling her back. "Dani, we can't back down now, or Jamie will continue to wrap us around her finger. We have to let her know that what she did was not okay." Santana told her. "You're right…" Dani replied. Meanwhile, Jamie put both kids down for a nap, and she went and knocked on Dani and Santana's door. "Dani? Can I come in? I really need to talk to you…" Jamie said, trying not to cry.
"What do you need to talk about, Jamie?" Dani called through the door. "Just our relationship, our fight, please… I really need to talk to you about this…" Jamie cried. Dani sighed. "I'm sorry, Jamie. But I can't…" "Why? Why are you turning me away? Why are you always closing the door in my face?" Jamie cried. "You know why, Jamie. What you did, to tear Santana and I apart, was not acceptable. Until you understand that, I can't talk to you." Dani told her. Jamie fell against Dani's door and cried more. Hours later when Jamie had calmed down, she decided to sing Do You Wanna Build A Snowman? From the movie Frozen. (Elsa= Dani and Anna= Jamie)
Anna:
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on let's go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman
Elsa: (Go away, Anna)
Okay, bye
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to the pictures on the walls
(Hang in there, Joan)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)
Please, I know you're in there
People are asking where you've been
They say have courage, and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Jamie decided to try one last time to talk to the couple about what she's done. She knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Dani called. "It's me, Jamie… Listen before you say anything more, I just want to apologize… What happened was my fault, and I'm sorry… I understand why you're so angry with me…" Jamie said, walking away. Dani then opened the door and saw her sister walking back to her room. "Jamie, wait!" Dani called to her. Jamie looked up and smiled slightly at her sister. "Yeah Dani?" Jamie asked. "Come in our room, it'll be easier to talk and walk around in…" Dani said, inviting her inside. Jamie followed Dani inside and sat down on a nearby chair. The three sat quietly for a while, until Jamie broke the silence. "Look, I'm sorry about everything that happened, this whole situation made me realize that it's my fault that the kids got kidnapped. If I didn't make you kick Santana out, none of this would've happened." Jamie said. Dani sat next to Jamie and looked at her. "Jamie, sometimes you make me do things I regret because I feel guilty… When you are upset or angry with people I love, you sometimes give me no choice, but to do what you want, instead of what's right. I love you, but I won't let you do that to me anymore. I can't and will not let Santana out of me and our children's lives again." Dani told her. Jamie nodded and stared at the floor. Santana walked towards Jamie and lifted her face by her chin, so she can look up at her. "Do you know why I was so upset and hurt by you?" Santana asked. "Because I disrespected you in the office and wouldn't let you move back in?" Jamie asked. "Well that, but mainly because you made Dani kick me out. Because you didn't get your way, you made Dani do things she didn't want to." Santana told her. Jamie nodded and went back to staring at the floor.
"I just… I just wanted you to feel how I was feeling… Because you treated me very poorly at work… Like you purposely wanted to treat me like dirt…." Jamie said, trying not to cry. "I just had to make myself clear, Jamie. I do not want to be known as a softie. I was a strong woman in high school, and I'm a strong woman now. Just because I act soft and nice here at home, doesn't mean I have to act that way in the workplace." Santana said. "It's true Jamie, I've talked to Santana's friends, and they all said San was a total bitch back in the day…" Dani told her. Santana looked over at Dani and gave her 'the look'. "What? They did…" Dani mumbled. "Anyways, like I was saying, I don't take people yelling and screaming at me lightly, so please… Don't get me angry, again because it's not pretty. I changed my ways at home for Dani and our children… Because no one wants to be around a stubborn bitch like myself." Santana said. "That's not true. Sometimes I'd rather hang out with you, than my own sister!" Jamie told her. "Hey!" Dani said, pouting. "No offense, Dani…" Jamie said. "I take that very offensively…" Dani mumbled. Santana hugged Dani and messed up her hair. "Anyways, I have to act differently, or people won't take me seriously. You didn't take me seriously, and look what happened…" Santana said. Jamie nodded and stayed silent. "Jamie? Do you have anything to say?" Dani finally asked. "Yeah, I do. Now that I fixed things with you guys, I have to fix things with my wife…" Jamie said, running out of the room. Dani rolled her eyes and went after Jamie.
"Jamie! Hold on!" Dani called. Jamie waited at the bottom of the stairs for her sister, impatiently. "Why was I waiting for you again?" Jamie asked. "Because before we make any rash decisions, we are going to get coffee, so we can talk things over." Dani said, dragging her sister along to the coffee shop. When they got to the coffee shop, Jamie stopped Dani from going in and was staring inside from the window. "What is it Jamie?" Dani asked. "It's Jane… She's… With the woman she had a crush on in high school…" Jamie said sadly. "Well, they wouldn't be on a date, Jamie! You two are married!" Dani assured her. "Look how happy she is… She's. Smiling the smile she has when she's really happy and giggly…" Jamie said, feeling a tear escape from her eyes. "Oh, Jamie…" Dani said, hugging her sister. Jamie decided to sing Invisible by Taylor Swift.
She can't see the way your eyes And you can't see me wantin' you the way you want her I just wanna show you There's a fire inside of you And all I think about is how to make you think of me I just wanna show you Like shadows in a faded light I just wanna show you She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile.
She'll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by.
But you are everything to me.
She don't even know you,
She's never gonna love you like I want to.
And you just see right through me.
If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.
That can't help but shine through.
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do.
And everything that we could be
She don't even know you,
She's never gonna love you like I want to.
And you just see right through me.
If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.
Oh, we're invisible.
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize.
She don't even know you.
Baby, let me love you,
Let me want you.
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.
Light up when you smile.
"Dani, I can't go in there now… She's in there with her high school crush… It would just be awkward… I mean let's face it, I tore our family apart… And I don't think it'll ever be the same…" Jamie said, starting to walk away. "Nope! No, Jamie come back here!" Dani said, grabbing her arm. "We are going in there, and you are winning back your wife. You want to know why?" Dani asked. "Why Dani?" Jamie groaned. "Because this family doesn't give up on love, Jamie! I wasn't giving up on Santana, and you will not give up on Jane. Now come on!" Dani said, dragging her into the coffee shop. Once in, Jamie tried to avoid Jane's table, but Dani wouldn't let her. Once at Jane's table, Dani decided she had to take the lead. "Hey Jane! Fancy seeing you here!" Dani said cheerfully. "Hey Dani! Jamie…" Jane said to them. "Hey, Jane…" Jamie said quietly. "Jamie, you remember Alex from high school, right?" Jane asked, introducing them. "Of course, nice to see you again…" Jamie said, shaking her hand. "Yeah, same to you! I see your wedding ring! Who's the lucky girl?" Alex asked. Jamie instantly looked to Jane's hand and saw she had taken her wedding ring off.
"Umm, no one you would know!" Jamie told her. Alex nodded and slowly intertwined hands with Jane. Immediately Jamie felt her entire body catch on fire. "Well, I think Jamie and I should get our coffee and head back home. I can let you see the kids whenever you want, okay Jane?" Dani said, saying her good-bye. Jane nodded and explained the close relationship between her and Jamie. Jamie walked out of the coffee shop with no coffee, but with a broken-heart. Dani chased after her, but Jamie just ran faster. Dani sighed, and felt her own heart break a little. Dani finally found Jamie, back at the house, drinking once again. "Jamie, you really need to stop drinking when your upset!" Dani told her. "She took off her wedding ring… It's over… Obviously didn't want to hurt me anymore than I have already been, so she just took it off and started a new relationship…" Jamie said aloud. Dani got two more shot glasses out from the cabinet and sat down with her. "What are you doing, Dani?" Jamie asked. "Is it wrong to have some shots with my sister and my wife? Santana! Come down here we're having shots!" Dani called. Santana immediately ran downstairs and jumped into her chair. "Good thing you called, 'cause story time was really a drag tonight!" Santana said, taking her shot. All three girls sat quietly for a moment, until Santana broke the silence.
"Alright, why are taking shots? Not that I mind, I totally needed this tonight, but what's the reason?" Santana asked. "Jamie and I ran into Jane at the coffee shop, and as we were catching up, Jamie noticed that Jane took off her wedding ring… And she's kind of in a relationship with someone else… Like her high school crush…" Dani softly said. Feeling the pain all over again, Jamie took another shot. "Oh my God! That's terrible, I'm sorry, Squirt!" Santana said. "It's fine… We don't have any kids or anything important, so it's not like the divorce will be hard!" Jamie said, taking yet another shot. "Divorce? But Jamie, she's… She's the one for you… You're soul mate…" Dani reminded her. "Yeah, well, sometimes things aren't meant to be… Especially when I screw things up, like I always do. I knew my luck would run out someday…" Jamie said, staring at her shot glass. Santana then pounded her hand on the table. "That's it! We are getting you back together with your wife!" Santana said. "How in the world are you going to do that?" Jamie asked. "Well first of all, you are getting you're job back, but it's a promotion because I always needed a secretary at work. So there! You're employed again. Secondly, we are giving you a makeover, which Dani can help you with. Thirdly, I will get you a woman that will make Jane so jealous, that you'll see the smoke coming out of her ears!" Santana told her. "Okay, I like it! Who's the new girlfriend I'm getting, San?" Jamie asked. "Yes Santana, please do tell us who this woman you know, is…" Dani asked, trying not to show her jealousy.
Well, that's the end of chapter 11! Who is this mystery woman that Santana is setting up with Jamie? Will Jane and Jamie ever get back together? Why did Jane take off her wedding ring? And is she really dating her high school crush, Alex? Read on for more! Please review!
