I do not own Glee or any of the original characters, It all belongs to RIB and Fox. Any characters you don't recognise are my own creations.
For reasons that some of you are aware of I had to leave this account for a little while. I am back for now and will be focusing only on a few stories until I am finished them. I hope you guys can be patient with me, I'm doing my best to update all of them but it may take some time.
If you guys are interested, I have set up a Tumblr account so that even those of you who don't have a fanfiction account (anons) can ask me things about my stories if you need to. The account is NayaFanFF :)
R&R please.
Chapter 12
Santana's heart thumps violently in her chest as she turns away from the window so that Olivia can't see her father's car, wondering what the hell she should do as she forces herself to keep her features calm, she doesn't want to scare the tiny girl in her arms. Olivia is completely oblivious to the latina's worries, far too focused on the raven hair she is playing with.
"Liv, why don't you go upstairs to my room and look for a dvd to watch" Santana suggests quietly, setting the girl on her feet and watching as she hurtles from the room, far too shaken to even say something about her running in the house. She quickly makes her way back to the kitchen and Quinn can tell from the latina's features that it's either her mother or father at the door, nobody else would make Santana so worried and protective. "I sent Olivia up to my room, go up there and wait with her..I'll get rid of him" Santana states in a hushed voice.
"We both will" Brittany says, standing up and gazing at Santana with determination in her ice blue eyes. "There's nothing to worry about Quinn, we'll deal with this" she states with confidence and Quinn glances at Santana who nods and crosses the room to press a firm kiss to her girlfriend's soft lips.
"Go" Santana murmurs, waiting until Quinn has left the kitchen before turning her attention to Brittany, the doorbell ringing shrilly for what felt like the hundredth time. Brittany gives her a reassuring nod and makes her way to the front door, Santana pulling it open to reveal a furious Russell Fabray, a meek Judy Fabray standing at the end of the drive. "Can I help you with something?" the latina asks as politely as she can, despite the anger she feels at both of Quinn and Olivia's parents.
"Where are my daughters?" he demands loudly and Santana can tell by the slur in his voice that he has already had at least a few drinks. "I know they're here, they are always fucking here!" he spits, his face red and his eyes intense.
"I'm sorry Mr Fabray, they aren't here" Brittany tells him in an innocent and polite voice. "Santana and I are spending some quality time together, alone" she adds and he gapes at them in disgust. "I wish I could tell you where they are but I honestly have no idea. So if you'll excuse me..I'm trying to enjoy an evening with my girlfriend" Brittany drawls in that same innocent voice and Santana fights the urge to roll her eyes when Russell Fabray's face contorts in fury and distaste. "Have a nice night, sir" Brittany throws in for good measure before closing the door and grinning at Santana. The latina watches through the peep hole as Russell storms back to his car, watching him until his car is out of sight before turning back to Brittany with a smirk on her full lips.
"I'm pretty sure you almost finished him off" she tells the blonde in amusement and Brittany beams at her. "Nicely played" she adds.
"What can I say..I'm not as stupid as everybody thinks" Brittany responds with a shrug.
"Not everybody thinks that" Santana tells her meaningfully. "Some of us realise how smart you are, thank you for dealing with him. I'm glad we're friends again" the latina tells her softly and sincerely.
"We've always been friends, silly. Just because we hit a little bump on the road doesn't mean we stopped being friends. We were friends before we tried dating and we're still friends now" Brittany states honestly with a bright smile.

Quinn winces when her father's furious voice floats upstairs and she looks over at Olivia who is frowning, her hand paused on it's way to Santana's dvd shelf. Quinn motions for her little sister to come closer and the tiny girl all but flies onto the bed and into her arms. She rubs her back gently while signalling for her to stay quiet and Olivia nods before burying her face into her chest. The teenager listens carefully, unable to keep the smirk from her face when she hears Brittany talking to her father, the young woman clearly enjoying herself and Quinn can only wish that she could see his bright red, angry face.
"Daddy's mad" Olivia whispers into her older sister's shirt, her tiny hands gripping the material for dear life.
"It's alright baby, he's leaving" Quinn reassures her gently, "See? He's gone" she adds when she hears the front door close.
"Is he mad at Santana? Like how he gets mad at you?" Olivia asks and Quinn is convinced that she can feel her heart shatter as she tightens her arms around the little blonde.
"No..no baby. Santana's fine and Daddy is away..I promise" the older blonde murmurs sincerely. "We're all okay..all of us" Olivia gazes up at her with wide, brown eyes with intense trust and she nods before snuggling back into Quinn's arms. "Come on, we'll go downstairs and see Santana" Quinn tells her, feeling the tiny blonde relax in her arms at her words and she stands up with her still in her arms. She carries her from her girlfriend's bedroom and heads downstairs, Olivia wriggling from her arms and sprinting towards Santana who is standing at the front door with Brittany.
"Hey, pretty girl" Santana coos as she lifts Olivia into her arms. "What's the matter? Are you okay?" she asks, frowning slightly when the girl throws her arms around her neck and holds on to her tightly.
"She was scared for you" Quinn murmurs quietly and Santana feels tears pool in her eyes as she hugs Olivia close to her.
"I'm okay munchkin, I promise. You don't have to worry about me" the latina whispers, pressing a gentle kiss to Olivia's cheek. She turns around when she feels Brittany's hand on her shoulder, the tall blonde silently motioning that she's leaving, feeling like she's intruding. "Thanks Britt" Santana murmurs. "Seriously, thanks" Brittany nods with a small smile and sends Olivia a small wave as she leaves the house, winking at Quinn when the other blonde shoots her a grateful smile. Santana reaches out and locks the door after Brittany leaves before moving out of the hall and closing the curtains in the livingroom, kitchen and dining room, only relaxing after she has done this. "Okay, you go bring a dvd down and I'll make some hot chocolate and popcorn for us" the latina tells Olivia, sending her from the livingroom with a playful swat. "Are you okay, babe?" Santana asks Quinn, making her way to stand in front of her girlfriend.
"Yeah, I am now" Quinn sighs, leaning into Santana, the latina instantly wrapping her arms around her and kissing her temple. "Olivia was so scared, I thought I had managed to hide most of it from her" she grumbles.
"Kids pick up on everything, especially Olivia...she's too smart for her own good" Santana chuckles dryly. "You've done so much for her and she loves you so much that she'll notice when you're upset or scared, it's not a bad thing that she knows you so well, it means she knows she can always trust you" Santana explains. "You're amazing" she adds, turning her head to capture Quinn's lips with her full ones. The kiss comes to an organic end and they rest their foreheads together, dark passionate eyes meeting emotional hazel. "I love you" Santana whispers tenderly.
"I love you too. So much"
"I love you too!" Olivia exclaims, announcing her presence to the two teenagers, grinning up at Santana with a copy of Ice Age in her hands.
"Aww I love you too, pretty girl" Santana grins, scooping the tiny girl into her arms and kissing her cheek.
"Where's the popcorn?" Olivia asks in a scandalised voice, "And the hot chocolate?"
"You were too quick for me" Santana chuckles as Quinn's cell phone blares out into the kitchen. "You get that and we'll get the popcorn and hot chocolate" the latina states to her girlfriend, Quinn rolling her eyes at how whipped Santana is when it comes to Olivia. She nods and Santana sits the little girl on the counter as she starts getting things out of the cupboards, Olivia chatting animatedly to the latina.
"Hey Britt, did you forget something?" Quinn asks as she answers her cell phone. "Britt..calm down, I can't understand you..what did you see?" she questions while Santan gazes across at her curiously, her dark brown eyes filled with concern. "Brittany, slow down!" Quinn tells her sharply, "It was their car?" Santana watches as the blonde teenager visibly pales, her hazel eyes filling with tears. "I'm on my way"
