Chapter 12

Quinn looks over at Shelby and rolls her eyes when she sees that the woman is still on her cell phone. Aunt Holly had called her ten minutes ago, that's too long to talk on the phone! She glances at Brittany, smirking at the longing look the girl is giving the box of fruit loops that sit on the kitchen counter, her smirk fading when her tummy growls. She hopes her Mama will stop talking soon and make their breakfast.

"San!" Brittany suddenly yells, as though she has only just noticed that Santana isn't with them in the kitchen yet. Quinn doesn't blame her for being surprised, Santana went to bed way before them..how is she still sleeping? "San!" the younger girl shouts again.

"Santana is sleeping, honey. Try and keep the noise down, Mama will make you breakfast in a minute" Shelby states, covering the mouth piece her cell while she talks to her daughter. She watches them for a moment before going back to her conversation with Holly, causing Quinn to sigh and drop her head down onto the table. She watches out of the corner of her eye as Brittany attempts to unclip herself from her high chair, the girl getting frustrated when she is unable to set herself free. She lifts her head when Santana shuffles into the room, wearing her pajama pants back to front and yawning loudly.

"Santana!" Brittany cheers and the latina kisses her cheek before slumping down onto the chair next to her, wincing as she does so. "No food" Brittany informs her sadly.

"There's lots of food, Britt. Mama just hasn't made it yet" Quinn corrects. "You better not run away again" she adds, frowning at Santana and receiving one of the latina's patented scowls in response.

"Shut up, Quinn!" Santana retorts petulantly. "I don't have to do what you tell me!"

"I hope Mama spanks you again" Quinn mutters bitterly.

"I hope Mama burns your bacon!" Santana throws back at her angrily.

"Oooh" Brittany gasps. Even she knows that it's a big deal to wish bad things on Quinn's bacon. Quinn glares at the latina dangerously as Shelby ends her phonecall and walks over to them

"Good morning, sweetheart" Shelby smiles as she kisses the top of Santana's head. "Did you sleep okay?" she asks, chuckling when she notices the girl's pajama pants.

"Yes, Mama" Santana replies sweetly, flashing the woman an innocent smile, feeling proud of herself for winning the argument against Quinn.

"Good" Shelby grins before turning to face Quinn. "Let me guess, you'd like bacon for breakfast?" she asks teasingly.

"No, thank you. I'll just have fruit loops please, Mama" Quinn responds, throwing a dark look at Santana, scowling when the girl grins at her. Shelby raises a brow as she looks between the two girls, knowing something is going on. Brittany throws her pacifier on to the table, unintentionally removing Shelby's attention away from her big sisters, the youngest girl frowning heavily at her Mama.

"Hungry!" Brittany pouts.

"I know you are, Quinn is gonna help me with it right now" Shelby tells her kindly, kissing the top of her head and motioning for Quinn to follow her. "Stop throwing your pacifier" she adds with a stern look. Santana passes Brittany's pacifier back to her as soon as her Mama and Quinn are in the kitchen.

"Don't throw it again or Mama will get mad" Santana whispers, hating the though of innocent Brittany getting into trouble.

"Kay" Brittany states with a serious nod. "Tana, okay?" she asks a moment later, noticing the slight frown on Santana's face. The little latina decides to ignore the nickname her sister uses since she's just being nice to her.

"My butt hurts" Santana states simply, scowling when Brittany giggles. "Brittany! It's not funny!" she whines. She scowl deepens when she catches Quinn shooting her a smug grin from the kitchen. Santana sticks her tongue out at her and slouches back in her seat, her arms folded across her chest; it's war.

Shelby watches as Quinn helps Brittany rip up her bread into small pieces, smiling when the younger girl throws several pieces into the pond at once; much to the irritation of Quinn. Shelby looks to her other side where Santana is hovering beside her, the latina clearly bored of feeding the ducks.

"I'm so proud of you for staying dry last night" Shelby murmurs as she wraps an arm around the girl's shoulders and kisses her temple.

"Thanks, Mama" Santana grins, bursting with pride at her Mama's compliment. She looks across the pond at the other family feeding the ducks and scoffs when the boy runs away from one of the ducks. Santana makes sure to stick close by her mama's side as she watches her sisters throw bread into the pond, keeping an extra close eye on Quinn. She smiles when Brittany wraps her arms around Shelby, her smile dropping slightly when she meets Quinn's gaze.

"Alright, how about we go to the pool for a little while before we have lunch" Shelby suggest, all three girls nodding eagerly. Shelby doesn't notice the glares that Santana and Quinn are sending each other as she straps Brittany into the stroller she rented from the reception. She's much too busy cooing over Brittany, both of them thrilled that they had come across the specially made strollers. The walk to the pool is mainly quiet, Brittany struggling to stay awake and Santana and Quinn sending each other silent threats behind their oblivious Mama's back. Shelby turns to face the girls as they reach the pool.

"You girls need to stay where I can see you at all times. If you need to go to the bathroom then you come and tell me and wait until I take you. I don't want to spank either of you tonight but I will if you even think about wandering off" Shelby tells them sternly.

"I promise I won't, Mama" Quinn states innocently while wearing her sweetest smile.

"Good" Shelby nods, helping Quinn to pull her shirt off, revealing her pink bathing suit. The girl runs and jumps into the pool as soon as her shorts and sandals off. "Do you understand what I said, Santana?" Shelby asks as she sits down on a sub lounger and pulls Santana's water wings out from underneath the stroller.

"Yes, Mama. I promise I won't ever wander off again" Santana tells her soberly.

"I'm very glad to hear that, babe" Shelby smiles as she starts to blow up one of the water wings. Santana notices Quinn watching her from the pool and she scowls when the blonde makes a face at her. She waits, not so, patiently while her Mama finishes blowing up her water wings. Why is it taking her so long?! Santana sighs with relief as her Mama FINALLY finishes. "Arms up" Shelby requests before pulling Santana's t'shirt off and revealing her black swimsuit with the yellow batman logo on it. Shelby slides the water wings on to each of Santana's arms, making sure they are securely on.

"Thank you, Mama" Santana says sweetly.

"You're very welcome" Shelby smiles.

"Bye!" Santana tells her, attempting to run to the pool, disappointed when her Mama catches her arm and pulls her back.

"Not yet, little one. Quinn has sun cream on, you don't" Shelby reminds her. "Plus you still have you shorts and shoes on" she adds with a chuckle. Santana sighs softly and pulls her shoes off, almost ripping her shorts off a second later. She stands as still as she can while Shelby rubs the cream on her, wishing her Mama would hurry up! Santana watches as Dave walks around the pool, the man grinning at her as he makes his way over to them.

"Hi, ladies" he greets with a warm smile, only receiving a disgruntled noise in return from Santana.

"Good morning" Shelby beams as she puts the sun cream away and checks on, a now fast asleep, Brittany. Santana frowns when her Mama starts to strip down to her bikini.

"Mama!" the Latina suddenly cries. "You should keep your shirt on, you might burn" she tells Shelby seriously, glancing anxiously at Dave.

"I have sun cream on, babe. You don't have to worry about Mama, go have fun" Shelby urges her. Santana nods and scowls as she shuffles over to the pool, jumping in and splashing Quinn in the process. Her brown eyes narrow as she watches her Mama carefully, wishing she had her cape with her so that she could save her from dumb Dave. Santana thinks carefully, trying to remember all of the pranks that Quinn had taught her. That's it! Quinn will know what to do! Santana shimmies around in the water, slowly turning herself to face Quinn; only to be hit with a face full of water from the smirking blonde.
