"Maldito infierno!" Santana mumbled as she came through the door to her apartment, she spotted both children in the living room just in front of her playing as she walked her best to the kitchen. Her hands loaded with Christmas presents for the kids and a bottle of expensive wine for Quinn. She assumed the other girl would be pottering around somewhere since the kids where home but Quinn hadn't came to the door to great her, which is very unusual for the Hazel eyed girl. "maldito infierno", She mumbled again as she heard a whack against the counter just praying that it wasn't the wine. Santana loved Christmas but hated the preparing for it, hated having to hide the presents and most of all hated all the pushing crowds New York had to offer her.
"What does that mean?", Ollie asked in a curious tone and he entered the kitchen, trying to look into the bags to see inside. He was dressed in a spider man costume, something he always changed into on a Friday evening after school. His face lit up when he saw a spider man bedspread in the bag, but when he looked up to see the furious Santana quickly averted his eyes to the floor. "Sorry". Santana moved her hand to his head and ruffled his hair softly before planting a soft kiss to his forehead, she needed to calm down now. She shouldn't carry her anger on in the house and definitely around the children.
"Nothing sweetie, forget I even said it.", She smiled at him and he smiled back, his gappy gum showing. He had lost one of his front baby teeth last night and was so excited when he knew he would be getting $5 from the tooth fairy, but this morning when he woke up Quinn or Santana whatever one, had forgot to put it under his pillow. Both blaming each other for not doing it after the saddened boy walked away. "Here, the tooth fairy told me to give this to you", She slid $5 into his hand before kissing his head again, luckily remembering now to tell Quinn before he pretended the tooth fairy hasn't visited yet and got another $5, but from Q.
Santana transferred the bags to the bedroom and once the door was closed waisted no time in shoving them into the back of the wardrobe to wrap and put under the tree for later. The Latina just wanted to find her wife now at this precise moment and was about to shout her as a little voice muffled her thoughts. "Mommy?"
"Yes, sweetie? Whats wrong?", Santana picked the smaller girl up and englufed her into a hug, Claire let her head rest upon her shoulder and whispered softly as if she knew she was going to be told off for saying it.
"I- I- Why does he get money and I don't!?"
"It's the way life works baby, now where is your mother?". Santana couldn't be bothered explaining the whole tooth fairy story at teh moment and just wanted to find Quinn. Claire was pretty pleased with the answer, untangling herself from Santana's hug as she climbed down.
"She went out, she was dressed like a princess!", the little girl ran out leaving Santana in a questioning state. Why had Quinn gone out dressed like a princess? Where had she gone? And why had she left the children by themselves? She quickly got out her phone and started pressing hard at the screen tapping out a quick text to Quinn.
Sent to Quinn at 16:39pm:
Where are you, baby?x
Santana added the baby and the kiss so it didn't look asif she was annoyed and if Quinn sensed that she was, she would definitely not be telling Santana. She lay down on the bed, her phone resting upon her chest as she stirred at the ceiling. Ten minutes passed and Quinn would normally reply to any text especially Santana's within five, so that only left Santana deeper in confusion and annoyance.
Her ears pricked up at the sound of a child-like scream and her reflexes got her up and out the door in a flash to see Claire sitting on the floor. Her eyes cast around the room to see Ollie laughing before she forwned and left out a heavy sigh, "Ollie, please, STOP hitting your sister. Room now"
"Bu-"
"Now", She sighed and rubbed Claire's arm where she was continually pointing at. "It's okay baby," She turned her attention to claire and kissed her head before smiling at the little blonde girl that looked so much like Quinn, just wishing Quinn was here now. The little one returned a smile and Santana laughed when she stuck her tongue out, sticking her own back out at her before a little giggle escaped Claires lips. Santana got up and sat on the couch, soon joined by Claire, who was kneeling on Santana's lap and playing with her face and hair.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah baby?", Santana raised a eyebrow and the three year old tried to copy her, she ended up pushing her own eyebrow up with her fingers which caused Santana to laugh and Claire to pout. "Carry on... Chop Chop we don't have all day", She tickled her at the stomach before getting hit on the face by accident. Well she kind of deserved it for starting to tickle her daughter who hated tickling.
"s-shit sorry mommy", Santana's eyes opened wide and her jaw dropped covering the girl's mouth with her hand. She couldn't believe it, she just swore, didn't she? Santana was sure of it but how? They hadn't swore around the children, well Santana had, but in Spanish.
"What did you just say?"
"Sorry"
"No, the other word Claire"
"Sorry", Claire looked away starting to laugh but Santana kept a stern face
"No Claire, what did you say before it?"
"Shit", Santana's eyes widen again, there it was again. Now she was definitely sure.
"Do not say that word again please, deal?"
"Why?", She felt a little pair of hands playing with the ends of her hair again and looked the little girl in the eye. Don't give up Lopez, Don't give up Lopez, Shitttt. Don't be a Quinn, don't give up.
"Be-", She was about to shout at her but there was no use, Claire was three, she wold just get upset and it was probably Santana's fault anyway. "Its naughty baba, Santa Claus may not get you any presents", She placed her hands softly on the girl's back to keep her in place as she crossed her legs, resulting in the girl sliding into Santana's stomach starting to giggle.
"Sorry mommy,"
"Its okay baby, What aren't you going to do?"
"Say Shit"
"Claire!", She rolled her yes and laughed softly, maybe she was going to be Quinn, just for the day, and give in.
"Sorry, I love you". She fluttered her eye lashes at her and Santana just couldn't hold back any longer.
"I love you too baby, now no naughty words."
"okay"
"What are you not going to do?"
"Say sh-, naughty words"
"That's my girl", Santana kissed her forehead and got out her phone again Claire's finger pointing to Santana and Quinn on the screen, "Mommy! Where is she?!"
"I don't know, why don't you call her?", Santana raised a eyebrow and handed her the phone, Claire got up and ran off slowly down the corridor singing to herself, she was definitely going to be in Glee Club, just like her mom's, and Santana was definitely going to make sure she was a cheerio and didn't have to worry about asking Quinn because she already knows what the answer would be.
Santana was left, sitting alone, she was about to check to see whether Quinn had text back but the little munchkin had just ran off with her phone. Santana groaned walking to the kitchen slowly, she plugged her ipod into the docking station Santana requested in the kitchen, flipping to valerie and putting it on full blast. She would obviously be cooking tonight, so was going to do it her way.
"Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the waterrrrrr...", Santana slid along the kitchen surface on her ass as she sung loudly, picking up the chopping board at the bottom. "And I Think Of All The Things, Of What You're Doing, And in my head I Paint A Pictureeee...". She spun on the spot her hands running through he hair as she opened the draw with her hips, somehow, took out a chopping knife and shut it by bumping her ass into it. She then walked to the chopping board and placed the knife down first singing "Safety first babyyyy!" At the top of her voice before carrying on with the lyrics,
"Since I've Come Home,
Well My Body's Been A Mess,
And I Miss Your ginger Hair,
And The Way You Like To Dress...
Oh Wont You Come On Over,
Stop Making A Fool Out Of Me,
Why Don't You Come On Over, Valerieee"
Santana hung onto the last word and spun to see Quinn and the two children wide mouthed, ready to burst out laughing at any moment. She blushed slightly and as the blush crept further and further up her cheeks she muttered, "What? Amy's a legend." She winked at Quinn, before turning round carrying on with the dinner.
Ollie and Claire, ran off playing to the living room. The usual game Quinn guessed they would be playing, Claire would stand on the coffee table and the carpet and surrounding floor would be the lava. Ollie wold then have to try and save her throwing cushions to walk across to save her and carry her back. It never ended well, one would hurt themselves, or they would argue or one would get bored of playing leaving the other, mostly Claire, in a big tantrum. Quinn was wary of this game, but they were kids and needed there fun, plus she did also used to pretend the floor was lava when she was a kid so, hey ho.
She walked over to Santana and wrapped her arms around the girls waist from behind, placing soft kisses down the girls neck, her face burried underneath the raven hair. She spins Santana around and goes straight in for a kiss, "I missed you today, baby"
"Yeah," Santana rolled her eyes, she was not down with Quinn not telling her were she was, she didn't own Quinn she could do what she wanted, but she cold of atleast told her where she was going because there two children where left in the house. Quinn could have been on the floor below with Lucas or half way down town to god knows where. Santana wanted to find out, but not just yet, she was going to have some fun with this. "I missed you too, care to tell me where you went?"
"I-I-"
"thought so,", She nodded but smirked too, to let Quinn know she was playing with her. Quinn bumped into her side and rolled her eyes.
"oh my god guess what?!" Here we go Santana thought, Quinn's little gossip time. Quinn would always have one, she would always come home and have something new to tell Santana, some scoop from the work place. Don't get me wrong, Santana was desperate to find out the new scandals amongst Quinn's employees but it annoyed her the way it always started with 'oh my god'. Even if it was kind of cute.
"What? Your going to tell me anyway." Santana smirked as she started to cut up the lettuce and tomatoes, keeping her eyes on Quinn for her reaction.
Quinn didn't do anything, probably used to it. "Well... Aimee, you know the one from the fitting rooms? Well apparently according to Martha that she went out last night with Yvonne. You know the one on the till? Black haired girl? Pale?" When Santana nodded Quinn carried on reassured Santana was keeping up, "Well... Yvonne has just recently split up with her boyfriend, Blaine. So when they get to this club guess whose sitting there?" Santana smirked.
"Who?", She loved getting to know it all. The people who worked for Quinn where so bitchy and the thing Santana loved was, so was Quinn. She would come home and slag them all off, each one of them, just pick them off. Tough love, she calls it, yeah right. But Quinn loves having them there, so Santana was pleased.
"Well... Blaine! Sitting right there. Well its not over yet, turns out he is the one that Aimee has been dating for a year now, told her he broke his last relationship off for her, when he was still in it. With Yvonne So they start telling each other, get into a full on 'bitch' fight and then when they turn round he's kissing Kurt! As in our Kurt, Kurt! It was Blaine Anderson, well I couldn't believe it! Santana we need to tell Kurt, day-um talking about back stabbing or whatever its called" Quinn ended it all with a little hand wave on the word 'whatever'.
Santana just burst out laughing, she picked Quinn up and placed her on the counter top, pressing a soft kiss to her lips it was almost like she never. "I love you so much it's unreal."
