On the way home Santana asked Puck "can we stop and pick something up to eat mom and dad won't be home till late and I don't want to cook." Glancing at the girl he says "sure what do you want." Looking out the window she see's them passing Breadstix and groans when she see's Quinn sitting with Finn at a table and says "I want a cheeseburger." Nodding they head to get the food. When they pull up in her driveway she arches and eyebrow and mumbles "hummm I guess my dad is home early today." Turning to the boy she says "thanks for bringing me home and when I have time we will play some video games." Smiling he says "sure sounds good. See you tomorrow." Getting out of the car and getting her things she walks into the house.
Hearing the door open her father looks up and see's his daughter and smiles as she sits on the couch. "Did you have a good day mija?" Thinking over the answer in her head she turns and says "could of been better. What are you doing home early. I thought you had to work till late tonight." Seeing his daughter is curious she says "you mother and I wanted to talk to you about a call she got today." Trying to think if she had got into trouble she looks at hims "a call about what?" Seeing his daughter trying to figure out whats its about he says "its about your brother. Lets wait till you mother gets here she should be here soon." Letting it be for now she eats her food and waits for her mother. As she is getting up to put her trash in the kitchen she hears the front door open. Walking out of the kitchen she see's her parents whispering "so what did you 2 want to talk to me about." Looking up at there daughter Maribel ask "can you get you phone and call Aida and put her on speaker while I call Bella?" Nodding her head she gets her phone out of her bag and does as she is ask. When she hears her sister answer she tells her "hey papá and mamá wanted me to call and put you on speaker." Her sister tells her its fine and she sits with her parents and they get her other sister on the phone.
Tired of waiting she looks at her parents holding her phone out infront of her "will you just spill it already?" Taking a deep breath Maribel begins "I got a call today at work from your brothers Lawyer. He called to tell me that they have decided to charge him with manslaughter instead of murder. He also told me that his trial begins this tomorrow morning." Waiting for thier kids to answer they hear Aida say "so he starts his trial tomorrow isn't that fast?" Looking at her husband he answers "they want to hurry up and get it over with cause Cam's mother has made it a point to try and push as much as she can. He said that the judge doesn't want to deal with a mother bugging him to get it over with." Looking at Santana as she ask "so they are rushing this cause his mother is being a bi... witch about crap. How can they do that." Taking a deep breath her mother looks at her and says "the judge got a death threat on you brother. So they want to get it under way to keep him safe." Bella sighs and says "basicly they want to get him into trial so they can sentence him."
Looking at each other Maribel says "basicly yes. They think that will be the only way to keep him safe at this point." Aida laughs "yeah send his ass to prison to keep him safe. Hmmm that make so freaking since what so ever but whatever." Leaning back in her chair Santana ask "how long will he get?" Looking over at there daughter Jose speaks up "we don't know how long he will be gone." Looking at her father she ask "how long will the trial be?" Looking back at his daughter he says "that I don't know a few weeks maybe I don't know if they offer a plea and he takes it maybe not long at all." Laying her head back on the chair she says "so he has screwed up his life and future. How lovely." Knowing there sister is right Bella and Aida agree at the same time "yeah sounds about right." Speaking to there daughters again Jose says " Sancho will need up now more than anything we will have to be there for him. When he goes to prison he will need us then to." Looking back at her father Santana says "so since he made a stupid mistake we have to put our lives on hold?" Before either parent can answer they hear Bella says "no we don't put our lives on hold we just have to do what we can when we can." Thinking about this Santana speaks up again "well I am a 15 year old high school student I don't have alot of time now with cheerio's and school work and if coach has her way I will mostlikely end up in glee club to so one of you please tell me when will i have free time?" Sighing Aida answers "on weekends like Sunday or something a day when you are free you can go see him."
Desiding she has had enough of this converstaion Santana leans forward "is there anything else you wanted to tell us?" Her parents look at her and her father says "San with this trial going on the public will know more about who he is and the kids at school will put 2 and 2 together and figure out you are his sister. Be prepared you will probably start hearing rude comments." Sighing she sits back in her chair "great just great I am losing one of my best friends, my coach is being a nut job and my brother is going on trial. What else could go wrong?" Laughing to try and lighten the mood Aida says "well you could be pregnant." Blushing she looks at her phone and says "hush you. You don't get to answer anything else I am not pregnant." Looking at how red there daughter is they think they know why but leave it. After talking a bit more they end the calls and Santana stand to leave the room to go rest. "Santana I am going to take you to school in the morning and let the principal know whats going on ok?" Nodding she says "yeah thats fine I am gonna go take a shower and go to bed I will see you in the morning."
When there daughter is out of the room Maribel looks at Jose "you know she will catch hell right?" Sighing he pinches the bridge of his nose "yeah I know just give the office both of our cells incase they need them." Sitting back on the couch Maribel says "I have this feeling one or both of us will be at the school just as much as we are at the trial." Knowing his wife is right he says "well give them the girls cell numbers to that way if we can't get there one of them might be able to and let them know they can talk to them just the same as they can us." Nodding her head Maribel tells her husband "well I am going to bed tomorrow is going to be a long day." Kissing his wife he tells her "I will be up shortly." With that Maribel heads to bed and Jose sits on the couch thinking shit this is going to be hard. Grabbing his phone he sends a text to someone he knows can help no matter how mad they are. Putting his phone in his pocket he heads up the stairs when his phone beeps. He pulls it out and checks it seeing the reply he knows his daughter will be ok. When he walks in his bedroom his wife looks at him "our family may fall apart you know that right." Looking at his wife he says "only if we let sweetheart. We will do our best to keep it together." Laying down they both fall asleep dreeding the next day.
