Part III
Eleven days had passed since that horrible day and with Santana lying in a hospital bed. The neurologist ran tests on Santana every day, checking for any indication of progress and there were, but smaller than he hoped for. Rachel came to visit every day; even when she had to go on stage or rehears. She also made sure to bring Dani every other day; of course the young girl had to see her mother, but Rachel didn't want Dani to get depressed, she wanted her to do other things than worry. The other tried to help any way they could and having Maribel there was a great support, but they needed Santana. Rachel didn't get much sleep; she mostly lived on coffee and lots of it. It got harder with every day that the doctors came and gave her a negative answer.
Now, Rachel was alone in Santana's room, reading a book and listening to the machines making their usual noise. Maribel went to bring them lunch from the diner across the street, where they know them by now. It was time for the neurologist to come and tell her she won't get to look in her girlfriend's beautiful eyes or hear her voice yet another day and Rachel was very near her breaking point.
"Hello, Mrs. Lopez." Dr. Daniels knows the women aren't married, but they might as well be with how Rachel took care of Santana, so he decided to stick with it and Rachel never corrected him. "I have some news." He smiles at the young woman.
Rachel looked up at the doctor with a sarcastic smile, "Eh.. What's up, doc?" She asks as she closes her book, placing it upon her lap. "What's the news?"
"I just looked at Santana last tests and it looks good." He says and puts his hand in his coat pockets, "I'm here to wake her up."
The book falls from her lap as she leans forward in her seat. "R-Really!?" She exclaims happily.
He was waiting to finally give this family good news and bring their loved one back. "Yes, dear. And you can stay here, but you need to be very quiet." It doesn't happen to him a lot, but some cases really get to him, "And Rachel, remember what we talked about; she would be confused, maybe forget certain things.. You need to be patient and give her time; we don't want to overwhelm her."
Rachel kept quiet and nodded fast. "Okay." She quietly said as she picked up her book from the floor.
The doctor walks to Santana's bed; he makes sure she's indeed stable, and then pushes in her IV the drugs that will take her out of the coma. He glances at the monitor, then back at Santana. It takes a few minutes until Santana's eyes start to flutter. When she opens them, Santana freaks out; she's in an unfamiliar room with a man she doesn't recognize and she has something in her mouth. She looks around, terrified and tries to say something.
"Santana, calm down. I'm Dr. Daniels, you're in a hospital." He tells her calmly, "You're safe, but you have something in your throat that helped you breath. I need you to calm down so I could take it out, ok?" Santana glares at him, but nods. When the doctor sees she relaxed, he turns off the machine, "I'm going to count down from three, and then I need you to cough as hard as you can." Santana, once again, nods. "3.. 2.. 1.." Santana coughs and Dr. Daniels take her tube out. "Good job, Santana."
"W-What-" She looks at him, scared and confused.
"I know you're scared, but I need you to answer some questions for me, then I promise I'll tell you everything." The doctor asks her questions to check her memory and to see if there were any brain damage and Santana does great, her voice just sound dry. "Good job, Santana." He smiles at her, "Before I fill you in with everything, I think there is someone who can't wait anymore to say hello."
"S-Santana.. Hi.." Rachel calmly says, covering her mouth to contain her excitement, she wanted to plant a big fat kiss on her girlfriend's lips but knew it wasn't the right moment to do such.
Santana slowly looks to her side and her heart skips a beat; ugh, she hates when it happens.. "Berry?" She wishes the doctor would've turned off the monitor as well, because her heart rate is going up and she doesn't need Rachel to see it and know it's because of her. "Y-You're here.." She wasn't sure what to say.
Rachel quickly nodded, feeling happier than ever. "Yes.. I am here." She said before leaning back against the chair.
Santana blushes, "O-Ok.." She feels weird and looks back at the doctor, "So what happened?"
Dr. Daniels tells Santana everything; from her accident, surgeries and her week and a half coma. He explains to her that she'd need some physiotherapy and to be in here for a little while longer to make sure she really is fine. "If you feel any headaches, even a minor one, tell us. If you or anyone around you," He glance at Rachel, "Notice a memory loss or something isn't right, tell us. I want you to go home, but only when I'm sure you're healthy." Santana agrees and the doctor leaves, but says he'll come back shortly.
Santana doesn't know what to do or think; she was out for almost two weeks and everything feels so strange.
"Uhm.. So what, uh.. What do you remember?" Rachel asks.
Santana chuckles nervously, "That's a weird question.." She tries to sit up more comfortable, but finds it a bit hard. "What did I miss?" Then her eyes widen, "Oh, no.. I ruined Thanksgiving, didn't I? Goddammit!"
"It's uh.. It's March." Rachel says nervously. She was trying to place her words carefully. The last thing Rachel would want to do is alert Santana.
"W-What?" That's a lot to take in and Santana is having a hard time grasping everything. So many questions running is her mind and she's starting to get really scared; she doesn't know what happened in the months she can't remember, she's not sure if she'd ever get the memories back. Being out of control is a big fear for Santana and now she has no control and she's vulnerable.
Rachel placed her hand on Santana's, grazing it very gently. "Anything you want me to catch you up on?" She asks, and then bites her lower lip.
"I don't know.." Santana glace at their hands, then to the other side of the room. "W-Where is Dani?"
"She's at school." She answers. Rachel looks down at her hand and sees the promise ring on her finger; she gulps then moves her hand away. "Di-Did you, uh.. Do you remember what we are?"
Santana sighs, "Rachel, I really don't think this is the time.." Santana pulls her hand away and folds her arms.
"Yeah.." Rachel nodded and bit her lower lip some more, she stood up and held her book close to her chest. "I should, uh.. I should let you get some rest."
Santana doesn't know if she wants Rachel to leave or not; the tension makes her chest hurt, but at the same time it's nice to have her there. She, of course, not going to argue or ask for the woman to stay. "Whatever.." Santana shrugs and looks away from Rachel.
Rachel nodded, and then walked out of the room, doing her best not to break down around Santana, not again. She knew that Santana was suffering memory loss, but the idea of her not getting the memory back really tore her, it was like a break up at this point, but without the acknowledgement of there ever being a relationship.
Maribel got back from the diner and was stopped by Santana's doctor. He told her that Santana is awake and responsive. Maribel hugged the man and thanked him. She wanted to give the girls' time to catch up, so she talked to the doctor about what's going to happen now and when would they be able to take Santana home. The doctor was called and had to leave, that's when Maribel made her way to Santana's room. She sees Rachel walking out with a sad expression on her face and frowns.
"What happened, dear?! Is she ok? The doctor said she's fine.." Maribel takes Rachel's hand and glance in the direction of the room.
"That crash.. It made Santana lose quite a bit of memory.. Her mind is back in November.." Rachel explains with a broken smile. "So.. In her mind, she and I were never together outside of me being a submissive.. And this promise ring is nothing.." Tears started to fall as she ran out of the hospital.
The older woman's raised both her brows at what she had just experienced, the young woman that she got to know so well was so broken and seemingly in a matter of a few minutes. Maribel wanted to figure out her daughter's memory loss, and how she can help recover the parts of her family that are lost. She walked into the room, placed the bags on the empty seat, she looked over at Santana with a smile. "R-Rachel had me order some vegan stuff for her.. You wanna split my chicken meal?"
"Ma'?" Santana looks surprised at her mom, "I didn't know you're here.." She's somewhat disappointed Rachel didn't come back, but she so glad to see her mom. "I didn't see you in such a long time, I missed you. It sucks it's under these circumstances, though." She smiles brightly, but tried not to make any quick moves.
"Well, when I heard about what happened, I was quick to get on a train to come over." Maribel happily explained as she goes to sit in the chair beside Santana. "This reminds me, I gotta give back Rachel's dads the money they gave me to go to a hotel." She chuckled somewhat loudly.
"Your only daughter and the child you love most just woke up from a coma, and she doesn't get a kiss?" Santana pouts at her mother and pulls the covers up because she's getting cold.
The mother continued to chuckle as she leans in to kiss Santana on the cheek. "Even in a hospital bed you're still cocky." Maribel points out while gently poking Santana's nose to the syllable of the last few words of her statement.
"I'm your child, you have to love me." Santana grins. "What did you bring? And maybe you should call Rachel, she needs to eat too." Santana tries to say it like it nothing, but with monitor connected to her, she can't really hide anything.
Maribel tapped the screen on her phone a couple times, then placed it against her ear, heard a couple rings then it went to Rachel's voicemail. She hit 'end' then looked at her daughter, "She cut me off.." Maribel frowned a bit, and then placed her phone in her purse. "Uh.. I went to this multicultural restaurant across the street.. But the only culture they really serve is bird.. As in they even have duck there." She explained with serious eyes.
Santana rolls her eyes and lays back, "You know what, I'm not that hungry anymore.. And I probably not allowed to eat it anyway." She looks around the room.
"Honey, I wanna explain a few things to you." Maribel grabbed Santana's hand and grazed it. "You, uh.." The older woman let out a sigh then scratched her arm gently. "Dani.. She's, sorta, your daughter, like on paper, sweetie." She tries to explain. "Well, Rachel's but you gave her permission to have Dani take your last name."
"What?!" Santana's eyes snap at her mother's direction, "The adoption.. I.. My name? Wow.." Santana feels so much joy, but it's mixed with a lot of fear so she can't fully enjoy it. "Mom, I don't think I can handle big news right now, my head starts to hurt." To be honest, Santana thinks she might be imagining the headache. If her mom started with that as the easy news, Santana not sure she wants to hear the rest.
"I know a lot more, but it isn't my place to say anything." Maribel let out a sigh as she pulls out her to-go box, flips it open and looks at Santana with a smile on her face. "Chicken?"
Santana shakes her head and looks away. She wants to be in her room or at least back in coma, because things have changed and she doesn't what, how or why. She doesn't even know if she wants to. The only thing she feels like doing is shut everything and everyone out.
Rachel was partially blinded by her tears, she just wanted her family back, and she wanted to have Santana say she missed her. Her mind was damn near warped ever since she first saw Santana connected to those machines, and she just wishes the pain was over. Rachel ended up at the theater that she is going to perform at, and because she was good friends with the owner of the building she was able to get in without any questions. On the stage, Rachel starts to practice her routines, she was a bit shaky from the fact she hasn't had much sleep since that day, she's been staying up almost nonstop and doing something to keep her mind off of Santana. But her attempts were not successful. What was even worse was that she went back to her non eating habits, eating even less than she did before her and Santana were intimate. Part of Rachel's routine was doing spins, and when she started, almost instantly she fell down. "Fuck.. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" She said while rubbing her arm.
Sean, one of Rachel's co-stars, watched her while her made his way to the stage. When he sees her hit the ground, he runs towards her. "Hey, hey, are you ok? Are you hurt?" He asks and crouches next to her.
"I just fell, Sean." Rachel gets up, rubs her eyes gently. "But if you really must know, no I am not okay." She admits before trying to go back to her routine. Rachel knew Sean meant well, and she wasn't trying to be so harsh, but her life sorta went south and she just wanted to focus on one thing at a time.
"You've changed lately," He jumps back to his feet and adjusts his side bag, "I don't want to get into your business, but I'm willing to listen if you want." He shrugs. "Either way, you should go easy on yourself or you'll get hurt and we'd lose our best actress."
Rachel let out a sigh of irritation; she rests her hands on one of the props and looks down. "What the hell do I do, Sean?" She asks. "It seems as if anytime I get close to being truly happy, something happens and my life is upside down." Rachel slightly looks back at her co-star, feeling like she needs to be in a coma herself from how little of sleep she's gotten.
Sean walks to the side of the stage and drops his bag, "If that something is important to you and really makes you happy, you fight and keep on fighting." He steps back to where he stood and stretch, "Life isn't a fairy tale; you don't find your one, get married and live happily ever after."
"You clearly never met my one." Rachel speaks out as she walks to Sean. "Every day is like a fairy tale, and she makes me feel like I can live happily ever after." She continues to explain, not afraid of being open about herself. "I have a family with this amazing being, and because she got into a shitty accident, she lost her memory.. She doesn't remember that she said.." Rachel shook her head, and then walked away from the man.
His heart goes out to Rachel. He got to see and work with her when she was happy and now she's like a wilted flower. "So help her remember, make her fall in love with you again." He says and walks next to her, "What you have sounds great and you said you have a family.. You can't really give up on her." He stands in front of her and stops her, "I don't know much about love and all that, but if what you have is real, aren't you supposed to be there to help her through this?"
Rachel looked over at the ring that Santana had given her; she couldn't help but smile at the memory of that Christmas night. The thought almost overwhelmed her emotionally, tears started to form, she nodded a few times. "Yes.." Is what she says as a response then quickly grabs her bag. "I gotta go." She said before walking out of the auditorium.
Sean wanted to yell 'Go get your girl', but settled on wishing Rachel good luck and went back to practicing.
Back in the hospital, Santana has some time to herself since her mom went to pick Dani up and bring her here. She had to go through some tests that came out good, but Santana was still worried about the memory loss. She talked to her doctor who said it can come back at any time, but worst case is that she won't get those months back. She guesses it could be worse; she could've lost much more, she could've been dead. Still, except Dani has her last name now, Santana has no clue to what happened and it's stressing her out. And Rachel flipped on her because Santana had to be stupid and ungrateful, though what was she supposed to do? They can't be together and Rachel doesn't seem to get it. Santana tries not to freak out and get some rest before seeing Dani, but she misses the kid so much that it's hard to fall asleep. Eventually, Santana gives up and watch something stupid on TV until she hears footsteps coming closer to her door.
"Oh my god, mama." Dani let out as she ran to the bed, gently holding on to Santana. "I missed you so much.." She says before letting go of Santana. Dani had kept her smile for the Latina's sake; she gently scratches her arm and keeps her attention on Santana
"Ok girls, I'll leave you alone, but I'll be just outside if you need me." Maribel can see the expression on Santana's face, but she's sure her daughter knows better and won't hurt Dani. She turns to the girl before she leaves, "Remember what I told you, Dani." She says with a smile and exits the room.
Santana can't take her eyes off Dani and for the first time since she woke up, Santana feels overwhelmed with positive emotions. Dani just called her mama; maybe it's something she was used to, but because she can't remember, for her it's like the first time. "Hey, D." Santana smiles, "I missed you too." She takes Dani's hand, "How is everything with you? I mean.. How have you been-" She shakes her head, "I'm sorry.. It's kinda strange, huh?"
Dani bit her lower lip and kept looking at Santana for a while longer, she was hoping that Santana would instantly remember everything then hold her, but she knew the circumstances. "Things are okay, I just.. I missed your embrace, I love Rachel and all but you are comfortable."
Helpless is how Santana feels at the moment; any progress that they made in the last three months, conversations, time spent together, it's all gone. And Dani stands in front of her, knowing everything, and needs her to be the Santana she knows. "Honestly, I'm very confused." She takes a deep breath and moves to the side as much as she can, "fuc-" She clenches her hands on the sheets because it's pretty hurts to move, then looks at the girl, "What do you say, you climb next to me and tell me some stuff?" She pats the empty space next to her, "And we can find a way for me to cuddle you without it hurting."
Dani carefully crawls onto the hospital bed, made sure to sit up a bit, she then looked at Santana. "Mama." She pats her shoulder. "It's my turn." Dani says with a smile as she carefully pulls Santana a little bit closer.
Santana chuckles, but enjoys being close to the young girl. "Ok, now that we're comfortable.. Let's start with something easy, how are things with you and Marley?" She asks and takes in Dani scent. It feels safe, so Santana let herself relax in Dani's arms and wait to hear some stories and maybe get some pieces together.
"Marls and I are fine; we have been more than pissed with school, though." Dani let out then chuckled softly. "There is this one bratty chick who hates rainbows, literally, she hates anything happy. She sorta pokes fun at Marley and I's relationship." The young girl shrugged then kissed Santana's cheek once. "But other than that, we're fine."
"Does Rachel know about it?" Santana asks, but doesn't wait for an answer, "When I'll be out of this lovely place, I'll make sure no one will bother you." She states and hugs Dani tighter. "I've heard you are a Lopez now. How does it feel?" She pokes the girl's side and smiles, "It surely comes with lots of responsibility."
"Being a Lopez feels.. Weird, only because people would expect my last name to be Berry, because Rachel official-.." Dani's eyes widened a bit then she looked around the room for a few seconds. "Uh.. Yeah Rachel doesn't know about my partial bully." She smiled nervously.
"You are Lopez and Berry, D." Santana lifts herself up, clenching her jaw until she finds a position that doesn't hurt, "My mom told me about the adoption, congrats, kid." She smiles, "And since you're both, you don't take shit from anyone. I ruled my school and Rachel, she ruled the glee club. You have to tell Rachel, but if this girl does something to you, don't just take it." She tells Dani, wearing a serious expression on her face. Santana, then, bring Dani closer and kiss her head.
"Mom has a lot on her plate.. I just wish she would eat off that plate." Dani turned that metaphor into explaining another problem that has been occurring as of late. "She went back to starving herself.. But now it's worse, she's not even sleeping when she says she is.." She looks towards the wall and sighs. "Abuela told me not to go into too much detail because you were already overwhelmed about everything as is.. So I won't explain much more.."
'Went back? That means she was fine for a while..' Santana takes in Dani's words, 'This girl is perceptive, I don't know if it's good or bad..' She sighs, not believing that's what she's thinking right now. Now she has a new set of worries and Santana isn't sure if she'd be able to solve it. She looks at Dani and knows she must something. She put her feelings aside, because anger and fear won't help her make Dani feel better, "I'm sorry you had to experience all these things lately." She places a hand on Dani's face and makes the girl look at her, "And yeah, it's a lot to take in. I know it's probably hard on you, but I need time." She explains calmly, "But I am going to take care of Rachel, ok?"
"Okay." The young girl nodded, and then nuzzled into Santana's embrace. "I really did miss you, mama.." Dani had a few tears dripping down her cheek; she wanted to hold Santana as tight as she could. "S-So damn much.." She whispers before she hides her face in the crook of Santana's neck.
Santana moves her hands on Dani's back, "Everything will be fine, I promise." She takes a deep breath, "I love you, D." She's nervous and worried and scared and a million other things, but right now she wants Dani to be calmer. "I'm here now and you know just how much I love to sleep. What do you say we take a little nap?" She smiles and cleans the tears from Dani's beautiful face.
Dani's lips were quivering, but she nodded and placed one arm over Santana's waist, she didn't press her arm down out of fear of hurting her other mom. "I can't wait until you're home.."
This day in Rachel Berry's life was a busy one at that; she was gathering some things to show Santana, she went back to the apartment and took pictures of some items that Santana either got for Rachel or Rachel got for Santana. After that Rachel went to a jewelry store, she didn't get anything extremely fancy; she just got something that would make Santana know she wasn't giving up. Then Rachel spent an hour begging Kurt to drive her back to the hospital and also to buy her Starbucks, but more importantly to go back to the hospital. Which like usual, Kurt obliges, not happily but he'll do anything for his best friends. Rachel made it to Santana's room, she told Kurt to wait outside with Maribel if needed. She walked and nearly gushed at the sight of Dani and Santana cuddling so close; it was almost like being home once again. Rachel went to the seat by Santana's bed, sat down then gently shook Santana. "San.. Wake up."
Santana pulls Dani closer to her, not bothering to open her eyes, "Is it your life mission to wake me up all the time, Berry?" She mumbles.
Normally, it'd be under different circumstances.. But I need to show you some things you missed out on." Rachel explains as she pulls out her phone. "I'm going to start slow, that way you won't be scared."
Santana opens her eyes and give a quick look at Dani, then focus on Rachel, "Your kid is still asleep.. Maybe we should wait?" She doesn't want to wake Dani up, but she's mostly nervous of what Rachel got to show her. Santana reach for the bottle of water she has on the table next to her bed and takes a few sips.
"No, it needs to be now." Rachel turns on a picture viewing app, then went to a folder she specifically made for Santana. "Here, this is the start of after what you remember." She handed Santana the phone and smiled slightly. "Ask at will."
Santana rolls her eyes, but take the device from Rachel. She places the bottle back on the desk and finds a comfortable position without waking Dani. Santana looks at the first picture, it's the three of them in Lima and they look happy. She swipes her finger on the screen and sees some more photos of them and Marley and Santana with Rachel and with Dani; she's disappointed she can't remember their first trip together and Dani meeting everyone; it looks like they had fun. Sighing, Santana looks at some pictures of them at home, and then she reaches a one of her and Rachel kissing. She freezes and tenses up.'Maybe it was just for fun or some other stupid reason..' Santana convinced herself and move to another photo. "W-What?" It's not them kissing, but the picture looks very intimate; her foreheads press together, they look at each other's eyes and have a smile on their lips. Santana frowns and push Rachel's phone back to her. "What's the meaning of those.. What the fu-" She wants to yell, to get up and leave, she wants her memory back. Due to Dani being there, Santana can't even express herself like she wants. She's even more confused and scared of what could've happened in those months that created this level of intimacy.
"I took that one, that was when we were in this village.. I treated you that weekend." Rachel softly chuckles at the memory. "That was the night after you said.. Something very close to my heart."
"You need to stop. Just stop." Santana puts her hands up in front of her. That picture makes Santana feel things she's working really hard on pushing away and she can't let that happen. "So we had a mind blowing-" She stops herself for a second, "Night. We have an agreement; stop trying to turn it to something it would never be." She doesn't want to hurt Rachel, especially after what Dani told her, but it's getting too much for her.
"Santana.. You were the one who turned it into something else.." Rachel took Santana's hand and grazed it. "You told me you loved me.. For the first time, and in a romantic way.." She explained. "Fast forward to Christmas night, you gave me this promise ring.. Which was the second biggest thing you've ever done for me.." Rachel bit her lower lip, looked down and frowned. "You said you wanted to be the best girlfriend ever.." She finishes. Rachel felt like hell, it was like she had the old Santana back, she knew Santana may never get every bit of memory back, but Rachel needed to try. "Today.. I wasn't the best girlfriend to you.. I want to show that I can be." Rachel looked back at Santana, with her free hand she pulled out a ring box, opened it and it was a silver ring. "This is my promise to you, to be the best you'll ever have, and the best you'd ever want. No matter what it takes I will help you, and carry you back to being at least functional again.. Even if you don't get your old memories back, you could at the very least start new ones with me, and Dani.." She takes the ring out of the box. "Will you accept my promise?"
Santana looks shocked at Rachel and her mouth slightly open. That's a lot information to process and Rachel is holding a ring, waiting for her answer. She's closing her eyes and tries to clear her head and think. She doesn't know what happened at those months and she knows Rachel won't make up all those things, so she had to believe that somehow they took a huge step forward and she let her guards down. She feels like her memories are there, like she almost could see the moments Rachel talked about, but they were still out of reach. With all of that, Santana is still unsure of what to do; she's in her body and in some version of her life, but it's all so different. Santana opens her eyes and looks at Rachel, "Rach, it's so hard; I try to remember, but nothing coming back. I don't know if the feeling that they're there is real or not.." She takes a deep breath and tries to ignore the noise coming from the monitor, "I'm not the person who said and did those things.. Why would you want to give me this ring?" She looks down for a few seconds, "I'm only going to hurt you." She looks in Rachel's eyes while saying that. She wants to be close to Rachel, but it's too complicated.
"Because.." Rachel slides the ring onto Santana's finger. "You're more than worth it to me.. Even if you don't remember it." She proudly admits while holding Santana's hand. "I know it's difficult, and I know you are struggling." She continues. "It doesn't change how I feel, and how.. How fucking nuts I am for you." Rachel softly chuckles the last bit.
Santana blushes and looks down at her finger. She feels like an insane person; she wants Rachel, but at the same time to be as far from her as she can. She needs to remember, all of it; what cause her to let go, how they got to this point, and Santana has to admit, she wants to have the sweet moments as well. "Easy, tiger." Santana chuckles, "A lot changed and I want to get it back" She grazes Rachel's hand, "Maybe more in private, not when there is a teenage girl taking all the space in my bed?" She smiles.
"You and me both, hon." Rachel winked at Santana, she was at the very least happy that Santana wants to catch up, and wants those moments back, it was a step in the right direction.
Santana and Rachel were quiet for another half an hour or so, they just watched TV, then Dani woke up. The doctor came and made sure Santana is still feeling well and asked if she remembered something. Unfortunately, the answer was no, but they told him they plan on working on it later. When he left, Maribel came in and took a seat and after her, Kurt stepped in.
"Lady Lips! Did you miss me that much that you came all the way here?" Santana says playfully and give him her usual smirk, but she is glad to see him.
Kurt mirrored the smirk, and then shook his head. "Not at all, Rachel forced me to come over against my will." He also returned the playful tone as he walked over to one of the seats, then sat down.
"Oh, I'm sure you did.. Without me, your life would be so boring." She glances at Dani and see that the girl is on her phone so she poke her side, "And I owe you two weeks of insults that I missed."
"It's so nice to see how much you love each other, really warms my heart." Maribel says dryly.
Rachel chuckles. "Imagine living with these two insulting each other nearly every 5 minutes." She says.
"Okay, that isn't even fair, Rach." Kurt crossed his arm and slightly pouted. "It was every 3 minutes.." He says quietly.
"And I thought my life was hell." Dani simply lets out, her eyes still on her phone.
"I, apparently, forgot you were allowed to have an attitude." Santana raise her eyebrow at Dani, "How do you an Marley still have things to talk about is beyond me.." She rolls her eyes and turns to her mom, "And ma', it tough love; Kurt needs it so he could function." She giggles at glance at Rachel, "Don't act like you don't like it." She tells her and leans back on the pillow.
"It's mostly lovey dovey stuff at this point." Dani explains before setting her phone down. "A good 85% of our texts are about how much we care about each other, the other 15 is about what went on throughout the day." She says.
Rachel wanted to make a quick comment about this, but she remembered what she said to Marley, and how mean she was about the situation, so she just smiled. "So.. Uh.."
"Really, D? That's sickly cute.." Santana catch Rachel weird expression; it disappeared so fast, she's not sure if it was really there. Maybe she has some catching up to do about the young couple.
"Like mother like daughter." Maribel crosses her arms and grins.
Santana blushes frowns, she's not sure if her mom meant she was like that in Dani's age or with Rachel. She turns her head to see Rachel's response, maybe she'd get something from that.
"Which mother?" Dani asks while also grinning.
"Both." Kurt states.
Rachel's face lit up due to Kurt, Dani, and Maribel's comments. In a way Maribel was correct, Rachel had been nuts about Santana for a very long time, and they have sent each other mixed signals before, but since Santana can't fully be romantic with her, it's sorta back to square one.
"Oh, baby, that pout doesn't work on me for a long time." Maribel tells her daughter, "And the only thing we enjoy it that you came back to us."
Dani giggled, then pecked Santana's cheek, "I love you mama." She said before getting off the bed, she then walked to Kurt. "Auntie Porcelain can I have a coffee?" She asks while giving Kurt her puppy dog eyes and did a nervous lip bitten expression.
Kurt tilted his head and gave a soft gasp. "Seriously, you are both your moms combined.." He points out then stands up. "Yeah, yeah, but you're coming with me." he said while taking Dani with him out the door.
"Well.. We know those two will be occupied for a while." Rachel partially jokes then looks at Santana some more. "If it means anything San, that pout works on me." She giggles a bit.
All Maribel care about is that her daughter is ok, memories or not, but she knows how hard it is on Rachel. She wants to give them time alone; maybe Rachel would get Santana to remember. "I'm going to the bathroom, then try to get a hold of your brother and tell him the good news" She gets up and smile, "Play nice while we're gone." She says and leaves the room.
Santana rolls her eyes, then look back at Rachel. Yes, what she said did means something to her, but Santana is going to take it easy; she doesn't know how they got together and more important, what caused her to let herself feel and open up to Rachel. Santana smiles a small smile, "So... We're alone... And we have a lot to talk about."
"Yes.." Rachel slowly nods. "Where do you want to start?"
"I thought maybe you could stay here tonight?" Santana asks and gulps, "My mom won't mind taking care of Dani.. Is it even a good idea?" She bites her lips.
Rachel gently stroked Santana's hand and nodded. "Sure." she smiles slightly.
Santana lower her head and plays with the covers, "H-How, like, how did we.." She sighs, "What changed? I don't understand.."
"Thanksgiving night we got into a huge argument, in your mom's front lawn." Rachel felt like crap for explaining that, that was a moment she'd hope to forget. "I told you the night before that I loved you.. Which made you distant from me, and I couldn't understand why." She bit down on her lower lip. "A week or so later, I got Dani's adoption papers, and as you know I am officially her mom.. After we found out, you kissed me.. My god was it amazing.." Rachel blushed quite a bit. "Later on, you asked me out, and took me on a cruise throughout New York, my ankle wasn't in good shape at the time but you still danced with me.. It was really romantic." She shyly smiles at the memory. "After.. After a few weeks I had us go to this nice resort in this village like area, you thought at the time it was going to be me, you, Dani, and Leo.. But Leo took Dani home to give me and you the best second date ever." Rachel let out a sigh, a happy one at that. "Uhm.. During the first night.. You said those three words.."
Santana listened to every word that came out of Rachel's mouth, she tried to eye contact, and failed a few times, and now she let it all sink. It sounds so like them; it makes sense that Rachel would tell her that; that she'd freak and fight and eventually find their way back. Santana is surprised with the fact that she was the one to make the first couple of steps, but she's mostly shocked because she said those words to Rachel. Is it possible that she healed? They did look happy in those photos.. "You made me love again, huh?" Santana smiles nervously, "After all those years you made me yours.."
Rachel shook her head, got up and carefully got on the bed with Santana. "You are the one who made us.. Us." She rested her head against Santana's, and then she held her girlfriend's hand. "All I did was accept you.." She partially looks at Santana in the eyes.
"Why are you so cute?" Santana shakes her head a little, then brush their noses together, "Are we happy? Did I ever hurt you?"
"Hurt me? You did quite the opposite, Ms. Lopez.. You healed me.." Rachel blinks slowly, moving her free hand against Santana's stomach, doing her best to not hurt the other woman.
She wants Rachel closer, this simple touch makes her feel like she's on fire, but what Rachel just said give her an opening for another subject that they must address. "You say that, but you look skinnier than I remember and like you haven't slept." Santana cups Rachel's face, "I thought I told you that you need to eat and take care of yourself." She would never tell Rachel that Dani told her everything that's being going with her; she found another way to go about it.
"I didn't handle myself well.. I can admit that.." Rachel pursed her lips, keeping her eyes on Santana. "The eating part was my own depression kicking in.. The non-sleeping part was me trying to make sure I always had something to do.. It was hard to just sit down and not cry when you were in your coma.."
"I don't want you to ever hurt yourself; not because of me and not for any other reason." Santana scoots slightly closer, "You have your life and you have Dani to take care of. I won't let anything happen to you, that is why you need to go see your therapist." Her concern for Rachel was always there and it easy for her to show that, much more than her other feelings, that'd require time.
"I have been.. Wait.. How did you know I have a therapist?" Rachel asks as she raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Santana mirrors Rachel expression; she's not sure how, it just came out, "I don't know.. I just k-know you have one.." She scratches her head, "Great, I remember that, but not saying those words to you.. Fucking brain.."
"Well.. Yeah I have been seeing my therapist; I even have medication I take." Rachel explains while moving some hair behind her ear. "It's good that you remember that.. It's actually amazing that you do."
"What's so amazing about it? I get up one morning in a hospital and a doctor tells me I was in a coma because some jerk ran a red light. It's like idiots that don't deserve to have a license are destined to kill my family." It's starting to get hard to breath and Santana tearing up, "Now I'm trying to remember what I did before the accident and I have no fucking clue!" Santana shakes her head, "No, sorry, I know you have a therapist. Not that Dani took my name, not that we're together; I remember that you're going to therapy. Fucking great."
"Baby, baby.." Rachel cupped Santana's face and pecked her forehead a couple times. "You're slowly getting your memory back, which is what's important." She tries to explain while giving Santana sad eyes. "That is what's amazing.. The fact you are alive, and kicking.. That's amazing.."
Santana sighs and place her hand on where her heart is, "I hate it, and not knowing kills me, Rachel." She licks her lips, "And to think what you and Dani went through.. And my mom, having to deal with someone else badly injured cause of a car accident."
"I know.. I know." Rachel moved her hand to Santana's arm, gently grazing it. "But you survived.." She softly says. Rachel's lower lip quivered, being this close to Santana, brought back all of the kisses they shared. Santana was the only person who could stop her, but she was unsure if she would if Rachel did something. She leaned closer to Santana, her lips pressed against the Latina's.
Santana feels Rachel's soft lips on her own and it breaks her. First, she's kissing back, but with her eyes still open and tears rolling down her face. She has so many emotions that she doesn't know what to do with or how to sort out, but at this very moment, she cares less and less. Santana close her eyes and take Rachel's lips between hers. She cups Rachel's face with one hand and the other she place on the woman's waist and deepens the kiss.
Rachel kept the kiss going a few more moments before breaking it, she kept her face close as she brushes Santana's nose. "I'm sorry.." She whispers. "I know you're struggling.. I made it worse, didn't I?" She quietly asked while frowning.
Santana breath out and shakes her head while opening her eyes, "No, it was.. Calming." Some tears still making their way down the Latina's face, "It did a bit more than that, but it's you so.. Yeah.."
Rachel brushed off the tears from Santana's cheek, giving her a slight smile. "I.. I want to say something, but I don't think you're ready to hear it again.." She nervously admits.
"I'm not and I don't want you to say it and not hear it back." Santana explains quietly and traces her hand on the middle of Rachel's body.
"Okay." Rachel nods, then closes her eyes, keeping as close to Santana as she could.
The two women stayed close to each other, each in her own mind, until everyone came back. They were happy to see them close and thought that if they found one another once and with the love they share, they can do it again; either get Santana to remember or do it all over again. The three stayed a little longer, chatting some; Kurt told Santana general things from his and Blaine's life and Maribel did the same with her and Leo. When they left, Rachel walked with them to go buy her and Santana dinner; the Latina was allowed to eat outside and they weren't going to be lazy and settle for hospital food. While she was gone, the nurse came and offers to help Santana get in the shower, but of course Santana wasn't going to let this happen. Despite the nurse advice, Santana asked her to leave after she took down everything medically so Santana could shower. The Latina, carefully, got out of bed, took some clothes Rachel brought and walked, very slowly, to the shower, biting her lips all the way. Only when she got there, Santana looked down at her body; she saw stitches and red-blue-purple-yellow marks all over her body. She gulped and opened the faucet. Santana placed her hands on the wall and leaned her body weight on her hands, then just stood there and let the water wash her. There, she let go; Santana sobbed and let everything out. After she was finished, she successfully dried her body and put sweat pants and a T shirt; she was so thankful Rachel did that, she hated the hospital gown. It was time to go back to bed and Santana, again very slowly, made her way back. Unfortunately, when she's out of the door, Santana falls to the ground. She tries to get up, but it hurts too much, so she holds herself as some tears drops down her face.
Rachel opened the door to Santana's room, "Okay I got you a juicy steak burger and me a tofu meal and.. Oh shit." Rachel dropped the bags and ran to Santana, and surprisingly her completely tired ass had the strength to lift Santana on to her feet, carefully walking with her back to her bed. "I got you baby, I got you.." She assures Santana as she sits her down on the bed. "Oh fuck.. My back." Rachel placed a hand on her lower back. "Okay.. I think I may sleep at some point tonight.."
"For a second there I thought you called me fat." Santana tries to laugh, but it hurts too much. She places her hands on the bed, a bit behind her back, and leans on them. Her breath becomes quicker and she lowers her head, only to see that her shirt is stained with blood, "Fuck.. C-Can you call the nurse?"
Rachel nodded, stood up straight, quietly yelped in pain then walked out of the room. "Hey! I need a nurse here!" She yelled across the halls. "Right now, please!"
A nurse comes running to the room, passing Rachel. She steps closer to Santana, "Next time don't try to play a hero." She gives the Latina a look, and then pulls her shirt up, "You're lucky, you only opened some of your stitches."
Santana rolls her eyes, "You call this lucky?" She sneers.
"It could've been this stitch," She runs her finger on a long stitch on Santana's stomach, "And that would've given you a visit to the OR, so yes, you are lucky." She says, "I'm going to bring some things to stitch you up and connect you back to the monitor." Before she leaves, the nurse turns around, "How's your head? Do you feel any nausea?"
"No, that part is fine." Santana answers and the nurse leave.
Rachel's eye was slightly twitching at the fact that the nurse just pulled up Santana's shirt and touched her bare skin under the shirt. "Maybe I'll play the villain and put a bitch in the OR for touching someone's girlfriend.." She mutters out of pure jealousy.
Santana's head snaps to where Rachel stands, "Jesus, Rach.. That was so hot." She keeps an eye on the door and smirks, "Maybe I should've let her help me shower, just to see what you would do." She bites her lips, but quickly turns her head to the other side when she sees the nurse coming back.
"Ok, lean back on the bed." The nurse says and when Santana does that, she pulls her shirt up again, "It's going to sting a little, but anesthetic so you won't feel anything I'm doing." She starts working on Santana's wound, "Mrs. Lopez, do you have another shirt for her or do you need me to bring a hospital one?" She asks Rachel.
"Mrs. Lopez?" She mouthed to Rachel and smirks.
"Yes.." Rachel forced a smile on her face. "I have some extra clothes just in case.." She calmly says.
The nurse finish taking care of Santana and after she checks that everything is ok, she turns to leave, "No more getting out of bed alone, you need to be careful. Call if you need anything." She smiles and gets out.
Santana lift her body up a little and pat the space beside, "Come here, Mrs. Lopez." She chuckles. "Apparently, Dani isn't the only one who took my name." She raises her eyebrow, "I'm pretty sure we aren't married, so wanna tell me the story?"
"Dani was in here, as a patient from an attack she had.." Rachel crawled onto the bed, looking to the side. "The doctor called me Mrs. Lopez because Dani had your last name.. I didn't correct them at the time because I was more concerned about Dani than about my last name."
"Oh, god.." The smirk quickly was gone from Santana's face, "That wasn't what I expected.. And you had to deal with it alone, I'm so sorry!"
"It's okay, Dani is more than fine right now.. Also, I am personally paying Elliot $3 a day for escorting her to class.. I'd pay more, but Elliot called me crazy for even considering paying him for that." Rachel explained then moved closer to Santana. "Also, your mom sorta said we were together to the doctors, but didn't specify that we're just girlfriends."
"You'll need to explain the whole thing with Dani after we eat, because I'm confused to why she needs someone to take her to class." Santana says and place her finger on Rachel's chin, lifting her face up, "Now, let's get back to you wanting to arrange that poor nurse a visit to an OR." She giggle as her eyes flicker to Rachel's lips, "I thought I'm the jealous one.."
"Bitch needs to not be fucking grabby.." Rachel angrily mumbles. "I can get jealous, really jealous.. Not ashamed of it though."
"I can see that and no, you definitely don't need to be." Santana looks deep into Rachel's eyes and her hand finds its way under the woman's shirt, "She wasn't hitting on me, but I will need someone to help me with the shower if you don't want it to be her."
"I would love to help you shower, if you want." Rachel bites her lower lip, enjoying the fact that Santana's hand is where it is. "Maybe more, if needed.."
Santana place her hand where Rachel's heart is and smile, "More is always needed." She slowly traces her fingers around Rachel's breasts, "But I've got to warn you, it's not a pleasant sight."
"As long as you're in my peripheral vision.. It's always a pleasant sight." Rachel gently nudges her tongue against Santana's lips. "That's a promise.." She whispers.
Keeping her eyes open, Santana attaches their lips together and push her tongue in Rachel's mouth. She can't help, but moan when she feels it and a shiver goes through her body. Gently, Santana moves her hand down Rachel's body, making sure every piece of skin gets the right treatment, then stop when she reach the woman's jeans. She tugs on it and wait for a sign from Rachel. She doesn't know how much time they didn't touch each other, but it's at least a week and a half too long.
Rachel nods twice as she moves her hands towards Santana's lower body. She then moved her hand under the waistline of the sweat pants, blushing some at her action.
It's weird, Santana knows it's weird to look at someone while kissing them, sure thing when your hand gets inside their pants. But she needs to see emotions crossing on Rachel's face, at least for a bit longer. Santana unbuttoning and unzipping Rachel's jeans, she lowers it as much as she can and puts her hand under the woman's panties. Slightly surprised at the feelings, Santana bites Rachel's lips and finally close her eyes. She can't do much, certainly not what she wishes to do, so Santana rubs Rachel's clit. "Quiet, Rach." She whispers against Rachel's lips and suck on her lips. She glances at the monitor to see if her heart rate is getting closer to a point where it'd start beeping.
"Oh f-f-fuck.." Rachel quietly lets out. The brunette moves her hand against Santana's core, she wasn't sure what had caused this to happen, nor would she complain at all. Rachel pushed two fingers inside of Santana, moving them in a circular motion.
Santana tries not to move her hips, but it's almost impossible with Rachel's fingers inside of her, "God!" She lets her head fall backwards, "Shit, that feels so good." She speeds up her movements, then slowing and so on until she feels, and hears, Rachel's ready. Her fingers move in a steady rhythm while she feels her own orgasm building up.
Rachel mushes her lips against Santana's while her hips start moving against Santana's fingers, she allows her own fingers to go as deep as they could inside of Santana. Rachel missed this feeling; she missed being this close to her girlfriend, in all honesty, she just misses Santana 'Fucking' Lopez.
She wants to let Rachel feel good first, but Santana can't take it any longer; Rachel's fingers drive her crazy. She moves her own fingers faster in hope that they could do it together, but she can't hold on. She moans against Rachel's lips as waves of pleasure go through her body. It feels so good, her body just falls back, but her fingers still moving against Rachel's body, teasing a little, but mostly giving the woman what she needs.
"Oh god.. Oh god." Rachel's eyes clenched shut, her voice was going towards a higher octave, one she's never went to before. She had hoped to hold her orgasm, but she's having sex with Santana, doing something like that is impossible for Rachel to do. And so, she pushes her head against Santana's shoulder, giving in to Santana completely.
Once Rachel is finished, Santana's arms wrap around the woman's body. Santana ignores the pain and pull Rachel closer. She doesn't know how to describe what just happened between them, it was out of this world. They were intimate and Santana never felt so close to another person like she does right now. "My God, Rach.. You are unbelievable." She brushes some hair from the woman's face so she could look at her, "That was freaking.. Fuck, that was amazing."
"Th-Thank you.." Rachel smiled some; she moved one leg in between Santana's then placed a soft kiss on her lips. "I am just glad you're out of your coma.. And that you're going to come back home soon.."
"Thank you for being here." She cups and kiss Rachel's lips a few times. "Do you think our food still good? After what you did to me, I'm starving." Santana says and laugh, "And we still have things to talk about."
Rachel nodded slowly, "I'll get the food." She says before moving to sit up. Rachel's face was flushed; she couldn't believe that she and Santana made love in a hospital of all places. She zipped her pants back up, buttoned them, and adjusted her belt, after that Rachel walked to the bags of food, picked them up, then brought them back to the bed. "It's safe to say my back doesn't hurt anymore." Rachel giggles.
"Glad to be at your service." Santana laughs and lift her hips a little so she could pull her pants up, "But you're still in trouble for getting yourself into this state." She tells Rachel, then move to open the bags, "Wait, can you bring me a new shirt? I don't want us to eat while my shirt is stained with blood.." Santana ask while taking her shirt off.
Rachel walked back over to one of the chairs, pulling out a long black t-shirt; she tossed it over to Santana then looked over at her. "So we pretty much had sex in a hospital, while you were wearing a blood stained t-shirt?"
"Yeah, we took kink to a different level." Santana laughs, "But what can I say?" She puts the shirt on, "I have a hot girlfriend and I've been in a coma, it's understandable." She waggles her eyebrows, "C'mon, bring your ass here so we could eat."
"Oh really?" Rachel smirked as she crawled back on the bed. "Who is this hot girlfriend that you have?" She asked in a joking manner.
"Some short Jewish girl with an attitude, apparently." Santana pulls Rachel to her, then grabs the box with the vegetarian food and hand it to her. She opens her own, but not yet eating, "So.. You know, I had some time with Dani earlier.."
"I figured, she was cuddled up against you so.. 2 and 2." Rachel smiles a bit. "She's the cutest thing on earth."
Santana rolls her eyes at herself, but she's not sure how to go about it and if it's the right move. Dani told her someone is messing with her, she's the kid's mom and Rachel is too, so she must tell her. Even if she feels like she's betraying Dani's trust. "She sure is.." Santana smiles nervously and takes a few bites, "She mentioned something that you should know.." She turns to Rachel with worried eyes.
"What's up?" Rachel asks as she takes a bite of her meal.
"She kinda told me some girl is messing with her and Marley." Santana tells Rachel while eating, "You're her mom and everything, but I don't know if I should've told you.. I told her she can't let this happen and to go talk to you, but you are better at parenting than me so.. That's it.."
"Oh.." Rachel ran her hand through her hair, gently biting her lower lip. "Did Dani mention that the girl seemed to never be happy?" She asks before taking another bite of her food.
"She said something about it her own way." Santana answers, "Why? You know about it?"
"Yeah, I actually had a sit down with her parents about this.." Rachel sighs then shakes her head. "Her parents are sorta homophobic.. Well, surprisingly the mom is." She explains. "When I was talking to the dad apparently he has a gay brother who is getting married, but the wife won't even let him go to the wedding."
"Hm.." Santana takes her time chewing and thinking about what Rachel told her. "Well, he's an idiot for letting his wife order him and raising their daughter to be ignorant." She states, "You tried talking, but if it'll continue I'm going to go there and try another approach; I'm not going to let my girl and her girlfriend go through this shit." She starts to get angry at the thought of someone hurting Dani in any way.
"Dani is a clever girl though." Rachel says before taking another bite. "So clever, it's scary." She continues to point out. "She has a clever girlfriend in Marley, and a clever best friend in Elliot.. Maybe this girl is intimidated by the intelligence of those three."
"I don't care on which ground she let herself harass them; bullying is bullying and I won't let them keep experience it." Santana looks at Rachel with a raised eyebrow, "I'm shocked you didn't march down there, you know how hard it is.."
"Because when parents get involved, the harassment gets worse.." Rachel slightly glared at Santana. "I would know.." she pursed her lips, then went back to eating her food. "I talked to the principal; he said that if there is anything severe that this girl does, to bring it to his attention."
"Severe?! You must be kidding me right now." Santana leans back, "So we need to wait until she hits her? Dani is already dealing with shit, she doesn't need more." Santana gets really pissed off at the whole thing, but keeps eating, "I was on the abusing side; I know kids can torture others without getting caught or leaving marks. You want this to happen to our child?"
"You know damn well I don't, but that doesn't mean that I can go into that school, guns blazing, looking for that girl and telling her to knock it the fuck off." Rachel lets out a sigh; she places her food on the chair beside her and covers her face. "Maybe I don't know how to be a decent parent.." She groaned as she shook her head.
"Fuck.." Santana mutters. She pushes her food aside and place her hands on Rachel's face, "No, I'm so sorry, Rach. It's not what I'm trying to say or make you think." She sighs, "You are an amazing mother and D loves you so much." What Santana tells Rachel is what she feels for a long time, since Rachel proved her wrong and managed to take care of Dani while working, "I overreacted and I crossed the line. Thinking that Dani going to school every day and someone even ruin her good mood, kills me." She runs her hand through her hair, then place her hand on Rachel's, "I don't want her to suffer any more than she already did and I can't sit and do nothing, but I will if that's what you think is the right way to handle it." She tries to take down Rachel's hand from her face.
"It's just.. It's been really difficult." Rachel's eyes started to water a bit. "When I got to the principal's office, and sat there with that mean girl's parents, I could barely speak.. I was scared.. It was like living my high school memories all over again." she sniffed a bit. "I don't know what to do; if I get involved, Dani could get bullied even worse, if I don't get involved I look like a bad parent in the eyes of the other people's parents and possibly Dani.." She lets out while rubbing her eyes. "I ask Dani every day if that girl bothers her, she says it's cool and to not worry.. But how can I not?" Rachel wanted to let more out, but she was rather done with crying consistently, she's done that for two weeks, she needed to be happy once again. "That's another reason why I have had Elliot escort her to classes, so that way that rude girl doesn't try to ruin our daughter's day."
Santana brings Rachel close to her and cup her face with one hand, the other she place on Rachel's waist so she could keep her next to her, "You are the kindest, most caring person I know, Rachel Berry. You hear me?" Santana gives her a small smile, "Fuck what other people think, you should know by now that people will always find things they don't like and things to say. We need to do what's best for Dani, even if she'd get a little mad at us. And yeah, I said us, because this girl has my name and we're raising her together, so we do these things together as well." Santana tries her best to assure Rachel and lift her spirit, "You did all the right things and in a perfect world it would work.. Can I try and talk to them?"
Rachel nodded twice "O-Okay.." She said before placing a kiss on Santana's lips. "How the hell do you know the right things to say to me?" Rachel asks.
Santana still isn't used to them kissing, but damn, it feels heavenly every time. "I'm only telling you what I see and know." She brushes her nose with Rachel's, "Don't make me blush." She looks at Rachel's eyes and smile, "How about you finish your meal, huh? If you will, I'll cuddle you and you could tell me more about me being a great girlfriend." Santana suggests and laughs a little.

'till next time.
