Isabella has been at her Nana and Grandpa's for two days and she is doing quite well though Judy has noticed how she seems to try and play her and Richard off one another, luckily Quinn had already mentioned she might try that. Bella walks into Richard's office and sits down with a huff he smiles remembering when Quinn used to do that "What's up baby girl?"
"I really want to go to the water park and was hoping Macy could come too."
Richard shrugs "I don't see a problem with that, why don't you go and ask her and we can go in about an hour."
"Are you serious" she says jumping up "This is awesome."
Unbeknown to her, Judy was stood in the doorway "What is awesome?"
Bella turns round and looks down and Richard smiles guessing she hadn't asked her Nana "I said we could take Bella and Macy if she is allowed to the water park."
"Oh you did, I'm going to assume Isabella didn't tell you I said she was grounded today?"
Richard raises an eyebrow and looks at his granddaughter "Bella?"
"What Grandpa, Nana is being unfair and mean" she says pouting, folding her arms across her chest.
"No I asked you three times to go to bed last night and you were rude I gave you enough warning and you carried on even after I told you I would ground you."
Bella sighs "But I didn't think you were serious, you guys never punish me" she says sitting down with a huff.
"Just because we haven't had to, doesn't mean we won't princess, and didn't Nana tell you yesterday about asking me for things behind her back?"
Bella sighs this was not going to plan "I know but I really wanted to go."
"And we can go tomorrow if you behave today, but you have to start doing as you are told, Grandpa and I won't have you being naughty and not listening and if I have to tell you again about going to Grandpa behind me back, you can expect a sore bottom as well."
Bella stands up in a huff "This is unfair!" she shouts "Everyone picks on me" she says trying to storm out past her Nana.
Judy grabs her arm and pulls her back "Baby we are not picking on you, your Mom told me you got in trouble for going to her behind your Mami's back and you used to do the same with your Abuela, we get that you are seeing how far you can test us but I don't know if your Mom has told you many stories about her childhood but she never got away with it either and trust me she tried many of times."
Isabella calms down a little "She did and did you spank her like you said I would get?"
"Oh yes she had lots of them, your Mom was a handful, look why don't we go and make some cakes and I can tell you a few stories?"
"Ok sounds good as I'm grounded" she says with a smirk.
A few hours later and Richard has joined the girls at the table eating their freshly made cookies "So what stories you been telling our granddaughter?"
"Just the usual ones" Judy says laughing.
"Grandpa did you ever spank Mom?"
Richard sighs "Just the once normally I wasn't around I used to work long hours and the weekends I would end up taking her out and spoiling her making your Nana's job a lot harder, I did give her a few swats now and then."
"Why did you spank her?"
"Well I had to go into work one Saturday and your Nana had phoned me nearly in tears because your Mom was being really naughty, she must have been about eleven maybe twelve and I had promised her I was going to take her to the zoo but then this important case got carried over and I had to go court, anyway she was doing anything she could to make your Nana angry. So at lunch time we got told we wouldn't have to be back till the Monday, so excitedly I came home ready to tell your Mom but when I walked in she was shouting at your Nana saying she hated her just as I went to interrupt, she threw her lunch on the floor and screamed I had never seen her behave that way I walked straight over to her picked her up and took her in the living room and spanked her bare bottom hard."
Bella's eyes go wide "I bet that really hurt I mean I have never had a dad or man spank me, only my moms and Abuela and that is bad enough."
"Yea it did hurt she cried for a long time, the next day she kept trying to make me feel guilty and your Nana stepped in made her stay in her room for most of the day until she apologised."
"My Mami makes me stay in my room sometimes as punishment I hate it, normally when I slam doors."
Judy laughs "See you are luckier than your Mom I would wallop her butt if she slammed doors."
"Yea Mom does that to me if Mami isn't there, sometimes if she is there too normally whoever gets to me first" Bella says smirking.
"Well missy, take note now because if you try it here, it will be your bottom that pays the price" Judy says laughing when Bella face drops.
Bella turns to Richard "Grandpa would you ever like smack my bottom" she asks quietly.
"If I had to I guess I would."
Judy laughs "Richard you barley disciplined your own daughter never mind your granddaughter."
"Like I said if I had to I would, Quinny got a fair few swats from me over the years."
"Yea that's true, one swat from Daddy and she was an angel."
Richard laughed "Yes well Daddy has a harder smack so she told me."
Bella laughs "I don't think you will ever need to with me because I'm pretty good most the time."
"That you are baby girl now how about we go to the store pick up something for tea and get us a great pudding."
"But I'm grounded" she says with a pout turning to her Nana with puppy dog eyes.
Judy shakes her head "Go but you best behave missy."
Isabella smiles "I will I promise, come on Grandpa I seen this new DVD I really want."
Richard looks at Judy "Are you not going to come and help?"
"Oh now you knew she was grounded and offered to take her out, you deal with her" she says laughing.
An hour and a half later Richard and Bella arrive home as he walks into the kitchen, Judy laughs watching him carry 5 or 6 bags "Good trip?"
"Don't start Judy that was the worse shopping trip I have had since I took Quinn when she was 15."
"What did she talk you into buying?"
"Well to start with tomorrow after the water park we are having a BBQ, then she saw a new top that she had to have plus 2 DVDs and I got her an iTunes voucher."
Judy continues to laugh she walks over to the phone when she hears it ringing "Hello" she says still laughing.
"Oh hey Mom just thought we would check in, what you laughing at?" Quinn asks.
"Your daughter has just taken your father shopping" Judy tells her.
Quinn laughs "Oh dear and I bet she took full advantage, Mom you need to talk to her otherwise she will take the piss."
"Excuse me language, and I know I will, now hold on I'll get her so you can talk to her" Judy goes and hands the phone to Bella "It's your Mom."
"Hey Mom, how are you?"
"I'm good baby, how are you?" she asks her daughter.
Bella smiles at her grandparents "I'm good having lots of fun, is Mami there as well?"
Quinn laughs "Yea babes I'll pass her over."
"Hey baby girl."
"Mami I miss you guys so much, I'm good though, are you having a nice time?"
"Yes baby we are, just a few more days and we will be home. We have got you some awesome gifts."
Bella smiles "That's great I can't wait" they continue to talk for a while before Santana has to go. After hanging up Bella cuddles into her Grandpa with tears coming down her cheeks "I miss my parents Grandpa."
He kisses the top of her head and squeezes her "I know you do only a few more days and they will be here."
They spend the rest of the evening cuddled up watching Bella's new DVD, she goes off to bed the first time of asking not wanting to risk another grounding.
Richard and Judy took Bella and Macy to the water park the following day and had a BBQ in the evening, the rest of the week sails by and Saturday arrives. Bella knows her parents are coming home today and is excited, Judy has already yelled at her twice because she isn't listening, she walks over to her granddaughter and gives her a stinging swat to her behind. "Ow Nana" Bella whines.
"I warned you now get back in the living room and get your things packed away" she tells her sternly.
Bella looks to her Grandpa for help "Don't look at me angel, Nana has asked you plenty of times now go get it done."
"This sucks!" she shouts walking past them "Ow, ow that hurt" Bella says jumping up and down she turns round to see it was her Grandpa and not Nana that had swatted her.
"Grandpa"
"Don't Grandpa me little lady, that was rude you do not shout at us just because you can't get your own way, now you best get your backside in that living room and tidy it up" he says sternly.
Bella sighs this is not how she wanted today to go, she made her parents welcome home banners but apparently she doesn't want to tidy up after herself "Can someone please help me?"
"Yes I'll help you only had to ask and not get an attitude" Judy says calmly.
"Ok I'm sorry, I'm just excited."
"We know you are but we still won't have rudeness now come, they are going to be here in an hour."
Bella and Judy tidy the living room with a lot of huffing and puffing from Bella, Richard pokes his head in and can see Judy is getting fed up with "Isabella are you actually helping Nana or just being a pain?"
"I'm not a pain, Nana is expecting miracles."
Judy raises an eyebrow "Um excuse me, this would have all be done had you done it when I first asked, now get up off the sofa and help" Bella rolls her eyes and gets up with a huff. Judy walks over to her and stares at her "You are testing my patience Isabella."
"Why because I'm slow at tidying, little unfair don't you think and… ow Nana" Bella says rubbing her bottom
"Nana that hurt" Bella cries one swat from her Nana and she is crying.
"That little lady is your last chance anymore and I will put you over my knee, stop answering back and do as you have been told" Judy says.
Bella nods "Nana I'm sorry no more" she says rubbing her bottom and wiping away her tears.
Judy sits on the sofa and pulls Bella over into a hug "Isabella you are my only granddaughter I don't want to have to punish you all the time, you have been good all week please don't spoil it now."
Bella hugs her tight "I'm sorry Nana I am, I will help you tidy up."
"Good girl" Judy says kissing the top of her head.
After they finished tidying, Bella helped Judy make some sandwiches and put some food out ready for her parents arrival when she hears the door go, Bella gets up and runs over.
Quinn walks in first and is greeted by Isabella throwing herself at her "Mom I missed you" she shouts.
"Thanks baby girl I missed you too" she says kissing her.
"What no kiss for me?" Santana says walking in behind.
Bella's eyes go wide and runs to her Mami "Oh Mami I missed you" she says tears in her eyes.
"I missed you more than you know baby" she says picking her up and squeezing her, she kisses the top of her head and puts her down.
"Do you like the banners I made you; did you see them out front?"
Quinn smiles "We did baby they are amazing thank you, I know you have missed us babe but could we at least get to the sofa so we could all sit down" they all sit talking, after an hour in which Bella has not moved from her parents side. "Mom do you think we could all stop here tonight, we are really tired and the thought of taking all this home now is too much."
"Yes sweetheart I already made up the spare room, I have put some food out also if you are hungry."
Santana smiles "Thank you Judy you are a star, right you" Santana says looking down at her daughter "you need to jump up so I can go get your presents."
"Really what did you get me?"
Quinn shakes her head "Half of Paris that's what, considering you weren't with us you have been very spoiled."
"But I am your only daughter" she says smiling sweetly at her Mom.
"Um yes you are, so you going to fill us in on your two weeks of fun?"
Bella looks to Judy and Richard "Um maybe later."
Santana and Quinn look at each other "Bella have you been good?"
"Mami can't we talk about this tomorrow, I haven't seen you for two weeks."
"Yes baby we will talk tomorrow" she says handing her to bags of presents not looking forward to tomorrow's conversations.
Bella smiles, "this is awesome" she says taking the bags, Bella wants to enjoy today because who knows what trouble she maybe in tomorrow.
