Chapter 14, Our secret

Friday, week 4.

It was Friday. Rachel and Santana were standing in front of the mess that was lying on the ground at the lake. The mess consisted of parts of the waterslide that they were supposed to build and it looked quite cluttered.

"Santana, tell me again please, why don't we need a manual?" Rachel asked her friend with frustration. Santana had declined to also buy the manual as she thought it was extortion and she was not going to give in to that.

The Latina rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "Oh shut it Berry," she huffed and moved one of the parts with her foot to have a better view. "We don't need it. I'm sure we're going to figure it out ourselves how these stupid waterslide parts need to be put together."

Rachel sighed. "Well, I don't know how," she mumbled and looked expectantly at Santana who looked at her with a scowl.

"Let's just try some things out," Santana snarled and pulled a hammer and spikes out of the toolbox. Then she did some deep thinking on how to start. It was not that easy. She actually had no idea.

Rachel looked skeptically at her friend and shook her head. "Santana we don't need a hammer, we need a screwdriver cause these are bolts that keep the parts together, not spikes," she told her pedantic which got Santana even more frustrated then she already was.

The Latina threw the hammer on the ground and took a few deep breaths to try to calm herself and not kill the 'hobbit' right there and then.

"Let's just try some things out Berry," she spat with anger.

Rachel nodded nervously and immediately got on the ground to investigate the different parts. She better off not saying much, she figured, as the Latina was pretty moody and irritated.

The same time at the supermarket.

Living with nine eating human beings and having a barbeque the next day results in a long shopping list. That's why all the kids were getting involved to help their parents with it and come along to the big supermarket, a half hour drive away.

"Okay guys, we have a long shopping list to finish so it is important that everyone participates," Brittany told the five kids with an exited face, unfortunately some of the kids were still not feeling it.

Quinn and Brittany had brought cutout pictures with them on which the products were shown, the exact brand and portion of it. They gave each child two pictures and it was their task to find the product that was shown on their picture and put them in the shopping cart.

Siera got a picture with peanut butter and a picture with a lettuce on it. She was not rushed and took it easy and with a rather slow pace. So she first shuffled through the aisles, searching for the right one. Then, once found, she grabbed peanut butter and went out to find her mother with the shopping cart. She threw the peanut butter in the cart without even making eye contact with her mother and shuffled away again.

"Siera, don't throw it in there," the young Latina heard her mother say to her sternly but she didn't react on it. She was on a mission for a lettuce.

She didn't even like lettuce, she thought it tasted like grass and it had no taste. So how was she supposed to know which one to choose? There were so many different sizes of lettuce and the picture didn't really help her either as there was only loose pieces of lettuce depicted on it.

She frowned as she saw one that stood out in the lettuce crowd. That one looked like a soccer ball, that one was the one she was going to take. So she grabbed it and studied it. Could you play soccer with a lettuce? Probably not.

"Have you ever tried to play soccer with a lettuce?" A sweet voice asked her from behind.

Siera turned around with a confused face and looked at the beauty that was standing in front of her. It was Lizzy.

"No," Siera quietly answered. "Have you?"

The blonde shook her head. "No, Barend has though."

Siera made an 'ow' movement with her mouth and gave Lizzy a small smile.

"Are you here with your dads?" Siera asked her carefully but she didn't know why she was so cautious.

"Yes, we have a long shopping list to accomplice," she told her with a difficult face.

"We too," Siera laughed while putting the lettuce in a plastic bag. Then she just stared at the girl a little too long with a dorky smile on her face which made Lizzy giggle.

"You're pretty cute," she stated which made Siera blush a bit. What was this girl doing with her? Siera Lopez did not blush like this!

Then she heard her mother.

"Siera, where are you!" Brittany shouted as everybody was done with his or her pictures and the shopping list was as good as done except for a lettuce. The blonde walked to the vegetable section and then finally found her daughter there.

"Siera come, everybody is already done and your mami possibly has her arm bruised or broken so she needs to go to the hospital and she wants me to go with her, so we have to go now," she rambled and walked towards Siera. Coming closer she noticed that Siera was standing there with a girl, Elizabeth. "Oh hi, Elizabeth, your dads are looking for you," she told the girl who turned around to face her.

The younger blonde looked at her and nodded. "Okay," she answered. "I guess I will go find them then, thank you Mrs. Pierce-Lopez."

"No problemo kiddo," Brittany told her with a smile and watched the girl say goodbye to her slightly ashamed daughter.

"See tomorrow, Siera," Lizzy said happily.

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow," Siera replied shyly and waved her off.

Brittany smirked and put an arm around her daughter's neck. "She's pretty nice ha?"

Siera rolled her eyes and huffed as her mother pulled her towards the checkout were the others were.

At the hospital.

"Au! That hurts!" Santana shouted angrily as the doctor squeezed in her arm. He sighed. Santana was definitely not an easy patient for him.

Brittany stroked Santana's hair. "San, calm down, he's just trying to help," she told her wife sweetly but the Latina was way to busy with herself.

The doctor studied Santana's tanned fingers that were bruised and blue. "Can you explain to me what happened?" he asked her and she was more then happy to tell him.

Santana took a deep breath before she told her little dramatic story. "A devilish friend and I got the task of our wives to make a waterslide at the lake for our children. So we did but we weren't very successful as the whole damn thing collapsed all the time. And the last time, the hobbit kicked against it while I was still sitting on the ground and the whole thing fell on my arm with force," she told him with frustrations. She had been very angry at Berry, even after a million of apologies, the Latina still didn't forgive her fully, mostly to tease her though.

The doctor smirked a little as he found it quite amusing that the tough and obnoxious Latina had been trying to built a waterslide for her kids because she was so whipped when it came to her sweet wife. They were a very cute couple, he thought.

"So you were a victim of somebody else's stupidity?" he asked her with a playful tone but Santana was death serious.

Santana nodded while she puckered her lips. "Yes I was," she said with a stern tone and looked at her arm. "So what's wrong with it?"

The doctor didn't answer her immediately but after examining a few other parts of her arm he came to a conclusion. "It's not broken but just bruised, a nurse will put bandage around it to protect it and to let it rest." Santana exhaled. She didn't like it that she had to have bandage around her arm but was glad it wasn't broken.

"Thanks doc," Brittany said for Santana who got up in her own world.

The doctor stood up. "You're welcome, good luck, the nurse will be here in a few minutes," he said, shook their hands and walked away.

Once the door closed, Brittany kissed her wife on her cheek.

"Maybe the nurse is nice," Brittany said seductively as she and her wife always liked to look at other women together, it was for fun though like two teenage boys. Santana grinned and looked at her wife.

"I hope so," she said playfully and looked at the door. "Can I kiss you babe?"

Brittany grinned of her wife's dorky question. "Of course you can, honey," she said and leaned in to kiss her wife's soft lips.
When she wanted to pull away, Santana pulled her closer to her body. Brittany giggled. "San, you're crazy horny," she moaned as Santana grabbed her butt.

"Let's make out," Santana groaned while she kept kissing her wife passionately. She had been desperate these last days for a bit of excitement on the sensual area.

Brittany kissed her back but kept watching the door in the corner of her eye. "Santana we can't do this here," she mumbled and managed to wriggle herself out of her wife's grip. She gave her one more kiss before completely pulling away.

Santana pouted. "But I am lonely," she cried jokily. Brittany laughed and put an arm around her woman's neck.

"I'll take care of you baby," Brittany said whereupon they both smiled sheepishly.

Then they heard some noises coming from the hallway and scarily close the their door.

The hopes they once had were crashed the second a nurse opened the door and walked in. It was a miracle she even fit through the door. She was way too overweight to be attractive but she looked very nice and she didn't seem to notice how flustered the couple was, luckily.

"So young lady, let me wrap your arm in bandage, which color would you like?" she asked the Latina. Santana told her she wanted white and so the woman did that for her. It didn't take very long to do. The woman was very handy with the bandage. "So, that's it. You can do everything but be careful with it and when you shower or take a bath, make sure the bandage doesn't get wet. You must were this bandage for three days, then you can it take it off yourself with a scissor. And if it still hurts you must come back here. Okay?"

Both Brittany and Santana nodded, grabbed their handbags and stood up. Brittany extended her hand to the woman. "Thank you," she said and shook the thick but soft hand. Santana did the same but only less grateful then her wife.

And so the two drove off to their vacation cottage without saying much to each other in the car.

Saturday, week 4.

It was in the afternoon that all four families gathered at the lake and sat/hang on the big pillows that Barry and Juan had taken with them. Well actually, only the adults sat, the children were playing on the waterslide.

"Come Tomas, you can do it!" Siera yelled to her brother with good intentions. She loved her brother, no doubt about it and she wanted to help him.

Ealina swam next to her. "He's too scared," she stated snippy and although she was right, the tone that she used was completely wrong. Thereby Tomas was just five years old and a cautious kid. It pissed Siera off that the girl said anything considering her brother.

"Back off Ealina," Siera snapped and looked serious enough to be taken serious. So Ealina turned around and swam away, she decided not to fight with the fiery Latina this time.

Siera turned to Tomas again. "You don't have to do it Tomas, just come back down!" she yelled to him and he was relieved nobody pushed him to it. So he climbed down the ladder and walked to the shallow water whereupon he jumped in.

Elizabeth, who was also in the water, came with an idea. "Let's play tag in the shallow water!" she suggested. Erin, Megan and little Tomas cheered and agreed. Rosie looked expectantly at Siera as she normally hated to play tag; she always said it was a stupid game. But now the young Latina looked kind of excited and she even nodded as to agree! Rosie was perplex and a bit angry even.

"No, I don't like to play that stupid game," Rosie counteracted and looked daringly at her best friend whose eyes widened a little more.

This was a conflict. This was what Rosie had been afraid of. She knew about Siera's insecurities as the tanned girl had told her all about them. She knew with what Peyton, the girl from their soccer team, had been bugging Siera. It was a touchy subject though; they didn't really speak about it after that one time of honesty.

"Let's go Siera, I know you don't like to play tag too," Rosie said to her friend although she knew she was putting her in a difficult package but it was her own fault.

Siera was a little indecisive, it seemed. She was struggling. She was struggling badly.

After a moment, she had decided. She was going to put on an act. An act that would drive her best friend away for probably this afternoon but she could deal with Rosie later in the night, when they would be together in their bedroom.

"I never said I didn't like to play tag!" Siera argued but it was a lie and Rosie got a completely confused look on her face that a moment later turned into anger. She couldn't believe her ears!

"What?!" she barked. "You always told me you hated it!" The blonde felt betrayed, jealous and abandoned. But she had to accept it, no matter how hard it was. She was losing her friend already to that blonde girl. Siera had been playing nice when Elizabeth was around; she had been another person when Elizabeth was around.

Siera was almost at the point of saying something but was cut of by Rosie. "You know what, I'm off," Rosie spat and swam out of the lake, into the woods and out of sight.

Siera looked at her sadly. It didn't feel right and she wasn't in the mood to play tag anymore either. She hadn't expected Rosie to run off. She had hurt her best friend.

Ealina swam towards her. "Fighting again, Lopez? Hard to keep your friends?" she teased and went to stand next to Siera.

Siera turned towards her and frowned. "Could you please go away," she barked and looked intimidating but not intimidating enough for Ealina.

Ealina smirked. "You don't fool me, Siera, you're as soft as a feather, being around the right people," she said with confidence. She was just practically asking to be hit on the head.

Siera groaned of frustration and fast reached the point of breaking. "Stupid slut," she spat as she pushed Ealina away. The girl fell backwards in the water and had a hard time pushing herself up her again. Ealina was obviously afraid that the other tanned girl would push her back down but strikingly she did not as Siera saw Lizzy standing behind Ealina and froze.

Lizzy helped Ealina up and looked at Siera with a disappointed look on her face. "Don't fight Siera, it's wrong and now your mami is coming," she said to her and pointed towards Santana storming off on them.

Siera's flinched and felt such a bad person; she even felt tears boiling up in her eyes. She was afraid to turn around and face her angry mother. Thereby, she didn't have any pretext to safe her butt. She had to accept the consequences.

Once up, Ealina angrily went out of the lake and walked away too. She even passed the Latina with her head help up and with no fear for another attack. Ealina recovered quickly, Siera thought.

"Siera Lopez, you come here right now!" Santana yelled angrily at her daughter waving in the air with her good arm. Siera cringed. Her mother did sound really furious so she better go to her and behave herself, she thought. Maybe it wasn't going to be that bad, her mami had been softer with her these past days. But that bruised arm was not very good for her mood so that was bad news.

Siera turned around and walked like a beaten puppy towards her mother who was tapping her foot. Her mami yelled at her again. "I don't even want to hear anything about it, you go the house and you're gonna stay there, I don't want to see you here the rest of the day, go!"

Siera shortly looked up at her mother while she walked and saw that she was death serious. So the young Latina skipped past her without looking and without saying anything. She didn't look back; she did nothing but run towards the house to change her bathing suit in normal clothing and sat in front of the TV, trying to forget what had happened. But it was impossible to not feel guilty and ashamed for her behavior. It wasn't even that bad, she thought. Things weren't supposed to go that way.

Later.

"Who wants sausages?" Cesar asked the chattering group. He was in charge of the barbecue and worked it with great pleasure.

Many voices behind him answered with a yes and a few with a no as they were waiting for the hamburgers.

"Come and get them!" he cheered and thus there formed a row beside him with hungrily kids and a few adults. They all waved with their hands to get the smoke plumes out of their face and viewed at the sausages with eager as they looked very eatable.

Brittany stood behind her injured wife and kissed her in the neck, which made the Latina shiver and smile blushingly. "How's your arm babe, does it hurt?" Brittany asked her sweetly and put her arms around her wife's tanned body that was deliciously exposed as Santana wore only pants, slippers and a bikini top.

Santana hummed a bit. "No, it's alright. It just all feels a little clumsy, that's all," she said and enjoyed Brittany's hands wandering over her stomach.

"You feel so hot babe, that sun is heating you up," Brittany stated with a smile. That muscled body of her wife never bored her and it could always turn her on at any time.

Santana turned around and kissed her blonde beauty on the lips. Then she whispered something in her ear. "Hot for you baby," she murmured seductively and Brittany's cheeks immediately got a shade darker just like her eyes.

Brittany leaned in to her wife and put her arms around her neck. She leaned to Santana's left ear. "Stupid of you to send Siera to the house, we could have had a great time there alone," she whispered and after kissed the Latina on her temple as the brunette felt stupid for sending her daughter to the house.

Then Brittany felt a little nudge in her tight. "Mommy, it's mami's turn. Stop distracting her," Erin told her mother who had turned around to face her child.

Brittany smiled adoringly at her daughter. "Sorry sweetheart, you're right, we shall get our sausages." So the two lovebirds hurried to the barbecue and let Cesar serve them their food.

When they sat down, they hadn't even eaten their first bite or Elizabeth approached them with a sweet gesture.

"Mrs. and Mrs. Lopez-Pierce, can I bring some food to Siera?" she asked them. They were adored by her appearance but didn't know what to do with the girl's question.

After a few awkward silent seconds, Brittany came with an answer for her and Santana. "Yes, that's okay Elizabeth. Could you tell her that we will be home in three hours," she said whereupon Elizabeth got a precious smile on her face and told thank you after she hopped away.

Santana and Brittany looked amusingly at each other. They were thinking the same. There was something more between Elizabeth and their daughter, Siera.

At the vacation cottage.

Siera had been watching TV for more than two hours now and was getting a bit bored of it. So she went to lie on a towel on the grass, reading a book that she got from someone at her birthday while puffing cause it was too hot in the sun. After a half hour that got boring too, she wasn't a reading-person after all and her stomach was starting growl.

So she went inside again and looked at the clock. It was diner time. At the lake, they would probably be eating hamburgers and stuff; she was jealous and frustrated because all she could find and make was a peanut butter sandwich.

But then she heard someone entering the house and her eyes flew open. A burglar? No. The person was someone the young Latina didn't mined at all coming in to her house.

"Siera?" Elizabeth called watchfully as she opened the door and walked in. She heard some sounds coming from the kitchen so decided to walk in that direction.

Siera walked out of the kitchen towards the calling voice.

"Lizzy?" she called but practically walked in on the girl at the same time. "Hi," she said while blushing and with a loving smile. "What are you doing here?"

Elizabeth showed her a plate with a hamburger with ketchup on it. "I came to bring you this, I thought you might be hungry and alone so..you know," she mumbled the last part but Siera was way to overwhelmed of the nice gesture to notice it. Not many people were so nice to her, especially people who she had only met a few days ago.

Elizabeth put the plate in Siera's hand and Siera's face lightened up even more. "Thank you," the Latina said shyly. "I'm really hungry."

"Well, eat it," Elizabeth encouraged her and looked through the window. "Let's sit outside." Siera nodded and the two of them walked to the patio to sit outside.

Siera feasted on the hamburger while Lizzy watched her in adoration. They sat in silence for a while but not for long. Elizabeth was an easy talker.

"Your mami got pretty angry with you for pushing Ealina," the blonde giggled.

Siera looked her in the eyes and nodded. "Yeah, she was. My mami can get pretty scary sometimes when she is angry," she told with a small smile. "I guess I can too."

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "Yeah you do," she said simply and a bit harshly which made Siera flinch of the directness and the honesty. She liked it about Lizzy though. "But you get angry for unknown reasons," Lizzy added which made Siera flinch even more.

Had it been so notable? The young Latina thought. Yes, she had been frustrated and angry with a lot of things lately but was it that bad?

Elizabeth laughed. "You think too much," she said and looked at an obviously confused Siera. "You struggle with things, don't you?"

Siera looked up to her and nodded. She felt sad. "Yes, I do," she told her.

Elizabeth gave her a sympathetic smile and grabbed the Latina's hand. "I know a place were we can go, to brighten you up a bit," she said happily which automatically made Siera feel happier also. "Come, let's go there!"

An hour later at the lake.

The four families sat around the campfire, it was around seven thirty in the evening and Elizabeth had still not returned.

"Shall I go and take a look at the house, to check if everything is okay?" Brittany suggested.

"Lizzy texted me a half hour ago that everything was fine but it's taking very long indeed," Juan said while he was trying to not burn his marshmallow rather unsuccessfully.

Brittany stood up. "I'll go check," she stated. "And I take Tomas with me too, we will walk Sadie and then I'll put Tomas in bed. He's very tired so to see," she added as she looked at her son, barely being able to keep his eye open while sitting and watching the fire with a just so tired Dirk.

"Yes, I'll take Dirk to bed also," Barry said and stood up too to get his son.

Brittany smiled of the two adorable boys sitting on the ground. "Come Tomas let's go home," she said and Tomas nodded as he let himself be lifted off the ground and be carried the way home while Sadie was walking beside them.

Once arrived at the house it was suspiciously quiet. "Siera? Elizabeth?" Brittany called but there was no responds.

She put Tomas down on the couch and did a walk around the house to see if she could find either one of the girls but there was nobody and the blonde was getting a little anxious. So she went outside. Maybe they were hanging somewhere in the garden? No, they weren't. Now Brittany got really worried. Where could they be?

She called Santana. "San? Yeah, I can't find them," she told her wife on the phone who told her that they might have been gone to Elizabeth's house so she called Barry to ask him.

Brittany was waiting for her wife to call her back when she noticed at note, lying on the kitchen table. It was not Siera's handwrite as this one was way neater, it was probably Lizzy's, Brittany guessed.

It said: "Were are not far away, we'll be back on time." It gave the blonde a little peace but not enough to stop worrying. Her wife called again.

"Babe, they're not at Barry and Juan's house, I'm getting a little worried," Santana said and sounded upset.

"Well, I just found a note on the table which says that they're not far from the house and that they will be back on time," Brittany told her wife who sighed.

"I'm still not satisfied," Santana exhaled. "I think I'll go search for them in the woods and around the house."

"I'll come with you, I don't want you to walk on your own at this time," Brittany told her.

"Okay, I'll come to the house and we'll search together, Quinn and Rachel will watch Erin and Tomas for us, they come with me," she said and Brittany could hear that her wife was standing up while saying it.

"Okay, I'm gonna put Tomas in bed, she ya later," Brittany said and hung up. So did Santana.

Elizabeth walked her tanned friend to a place that she loved the most of the whole area, behind the waterfall. The blonde had discovered it a few days ago and fell in love with it immediately. It was a sort of open cave were you could sit and hear the water of the waterfall pattering while you stayed dry and safe, nobody could see you there as you were behind the waterfall.

"I don't know this place," Siera said after they walked over the small rim and then climbed in the cave.

Elizabeth grinned as she lighted a candle to create some light in the darkness. "That's because it's a secret place," she stated simply. "I discovered it but haven't told anybody about it. I thought, maybe it could be our secret place were you can think and sort things out."

Siera smiled shyly. "Sounds great, I love it, thank you," she said to the blonde. Siera felt really honored.

"Good," Lizzy said and grabbed Siera's hand. "Come let's sit and listen to the water pattering. It's beautiful."

Siera let herself be leaded to a heap of pillows in a corner and sat down. Elizabeth sat down next to her and held her finger for her mouth. 'shh' she mouthed and so they sat in silence for a little while.

It was a beautiful moment. It was so peaceful and so quiet there. Like all problems seemed to be stupid as you could just simply enjoy the beauty of nature. Siera breathed out slowly and looked next to her where Lizzy was sitting and obviously enjoying it too.

After a while it was starting to get pretty cold there so they crawled closer to each other. Siera hesitated at first but then she carefully put an arm around Lizzy's neck like they always did in the movies but then mostly while sitting in the cinema.

They both smiled sheepishly as it was awkward but very nice also. Elizabeth felt warmer now and to thank Siera for holding her tight, she kissed her softly on her right cheek. Siera almost fainted of the love she felt and it really touched her heart. She loved this girl, she thought, she was her perfect match.

"I like you," Siera said sweetly and looked lovingly at Lizzy who looked back the same way.

"I like you too," the blonde said and put her hand in Siera's hand. She squeezed it slightly and never wanted the moment to end.

But unfortunately it had to end as they heard voices coming from a distance away from them.

"Siera, I think I here your mommies," Elizabeth said anxiously while she flinched away as she could predict that they would probably be a bit angry with them. Their parents had perhaps been missing them and were worried and were now searching for them. This was no good news.

"Well, let's just stay here all night, they can't find us here," Siera said with a grin as her adventurous side was taking over.

Elizabeth giggled of Siera and her silly ideas. "No silly," she said and playfully nudged the Latina in her arm. "We can't do that, we have to go out and go to them to let them know we are safe."

"Well okay, but we keep this place our secret, pinky promise?" Siera suggested while she raised an eyebrow. Elizabeth nodded and brought up her pinky to promise that neither of them would ever tell anybody about their secret place. "Okay let's face the devils," Siera joked and, with a lot of courage, she kissed the blonde girl on her cheek. Lizzy's cheeks reddened a bit and Lizzy smiled even brighter as Siera grabbed her hand and helped her out of the cave.

Together they walked towards the calling voices.

The moment Brittany and Santana saw the two little girls walking towards them, all they felt was relieve.

"Don't go away that long you guys, we were worried!" Brittany said as she hugged both of them. "Where were you?"

They both looked shortly at each other, eyes widened and with difficult expressions on their faces. It was like they were consulting without words on what to say.

"We were just walking around," Siera said convincible as she was a trained liar. Santana saw right through it though but decided not to put any pressure on the girls. She only gave Siera a suspicious look and shortly pulled her eyebrow up to show her daughter that she could not be fooled.

"Well, let's bring you home Elizabeth," Brittany said. "You fathers are waiting for you." And so the four of them walked off, back to their houses, to bed and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Thanks for reading! Please review!
