Where the Heart Is

Authors note(I do not own any of the Glee characters)Warning: smut. I know you're probably wondering why I've only posted this chapter when I always post two. Well this one is very long and I figured I could post it now, so you dont have to wait when I've already finished it. I'll post the next chapter either later or tomorrow, it just depneds on how long takes for me to write it. I have to point out something from the last chapter, I'm sorry I've been doing this lately. When they decorate the cookies I had them make Xmas ones for some reason? idk why I did that I guess I have Xmas on my mind, just pretend it's Brittany being Brittany and wanted to make Xmas cookies Lol. So this chapter is going to go between Quinn and Santana's POV, and maybe Taylor's, though it's mostly gonna center around Santana. Also there be a very short moment of Marely's POV, but you'll see why when you read it.

tinygleek: ikr, you might not like all of this chapter though. You'll see what I mean when you get to that part. Thanks for the review(: I haven't been really getting any lately. I know I said I would update w/o them and I have, but there just nice to get. I like getting feedback from my readers so I know if you guys liked the chapter or not, ya know?


Chapter 28: Single Mother Problems

Day Two...

Santana is in the bathroom, dressed and fixing her hair. She woke up late and had to rush to get the girls fed and dressed before getting changed herself. She's spraying Dove hairspray to keep her natural waves from getting flat when Taylor walks in.

"Mami, I can't find my other shoe." Santana puts the hairspray back with a sigh then walks down the hall into the theatre room. She kneels down next to the couch on the lower riser and pulls out Taylor's other show.

"Gracias."

Santana rushes to her room and puts her own shoes on then grabs Adri from the nursery. Josie has agreed to babysit her during the day for the week. She grabs her keys and purse from the living room as Taylor gathers her homework, putting them in her book bag.

"Got everything?" She thinks about it for a moment then runs into the kitchen and grabs a folder and puts it in her bag.

"Now I do." Santana has them rush out of the house and into the car."Mami, are we gonna be late for school?" Santana looks at the time with a groan.

"Not if I drive a little faster, and you don't tell Mommy on me." Santana steps on the gas to Josie's house and honks the horn."Papi, hurry up we're already running late!"

Josie grabs Adri from the backseat and the diaper bag. Santana quickly says goodbye to both of them before driving off to the elementary school. Maci is waiting for Taylor by the side walk. She opens the door for her as Taylor kisses Santana on the cheek.

"Bye, Mami! Te Amo!"

Taylor climbs out of the car and shuts the door. Santana drives off and waves out the window and honks her horn. Soon she pulls up in her parking space and quickly runs into the building, to her office. Marley is already waiting by the door, reading a book. Santana takes her key out from her purse, panting a little from the run.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, I've had a bad morning." Marley waves her off as Santana unlocks the door. She steps aside and lets Marley in first, then closes the door behind her.

"That's okay, I was a little late myself so, I didn't have to wait too long." Santana sets her purse on the floor besides her desk as she takes a seat, then pulls out her phone.

"I'm sorry. Quinn is in New York and will be there for the rest of the week. She hasn't called yet, so I'm gonna be checking my phone like a teenage girl." Marley snorts as Santana turns her laptop on and goes through her mail.

"Figgins never said what we should talk about, so I guess you can say whatever you're confortable with." Marely nods and thinks about it for a moment as Santana leans back in her seat.

"I was thinking about joing Glee club, but I've heard what other people say about it. And it makes me rethink doing it." Santana smiles nodding her head.

"I'm guessing they're the jocks and Cheerios?" Marely shyly nods.

"Yeah, they would, but I was a cheerio and joined Glee with my friends, and at the time girlfriend. I loved it, I always liked to perform and being stage was really awesome." Marley cracks her knuckles with a smile.

"You had another girlfriend before your wife?" Santana snorts shaking her head.

"That's what you got from that?" SHe shrugs with a light blush."No, I didn't. I just meant, Quinn at the time was my girlfriend." Marley nods, bitting her lower lip.

"I don't mean to sound nosey, but why is she in New York?" Santana sighs checking her phone, seeing no texts or missed calls from Quinn. She sets the phone aside and turns her attention to the teen.

"She's a writer, so she's doing some book signings and going on a few talk shows." Marley snaps her fingers with a smile.

"I thought I recgnoized her when I dropped Maci off your house." Santana crosses her legs with a proud smile.

"Yeah, she's an amazing writer, but I miss her." The bell rings and Marley grabs her purse from beside the chair. Santana points her finger to her with a playful, stern look.

"Think about Glee club some more, I promise you won't regret it." She nods, adjusting her purse on her shoulder and steps closer to Santana's desk nervously.

"I'm thinking about telling my mom, about me liking girls. I think I'm ready but I'm not sure how I'm going to tell her." She pauses taking a deep breath and cracking her knuckles.

"How did you do it?" Santana sighs, tapping on the desk.

"My mother died when I was a little girl, but I didn't have to tell my Papi. I mean, I told him about me and Quinn but he just always knew that I like girls." Marley looks down to her feet with a sigh. Santana sits at the edge of her desk and rests her hand on her shoulder. She leans down to get her to look in her eyes and smile when she does.

"You said you like a girl right?" Marley smiles with a light blush, humming in response."Well, then just tell her how you feel, and see what she says, ok?" Santana looks at the time and takes out a late pass and signs it for her.

"Just be sure you're ready before you do." Marley takes the pass and Santana gives her a wink, making her blush.

"Thanks, Mrs. Lopez. I hope you have a better day."

The teen gives her a shy wave and shuts the door behind her. Santana looks at her desktop with a frown playing with her wedding ring, when her cell phone vibrates. She quickly snatches it off the desk to answer it, without looking to see who's calling.

"Hello?"

"Hi, babe. Sorry it took me long to call, I had to rush to the signing. It took me longer than I'd like to admitt to fall asleep last night. I'm in the back room waiting for my cue, so how was your morning?"

"I'm so happy to hear your voice. Mine wasn't any better than yours, we were late and also had to rush. It was a chore just to find something for Taylor to wear, I don't know how you do it. That girl is so picky when it comes to clothes." Quinn laughs in the phone, making Santana smile.

"I've missed that laugh. I miss you."

"I know I miss you too, and the girls of course."

"How have the paparazzi been treating you?" Quinn sighs.

"Just as bad as always, maybe worse. We had trouble walking in the mall, I think it might have to do with the fact that my wife isn't here with me. They've been asking if we got a divorce." Santana snorts, shaking her head.

"That's rediculous, I don't think it's possible to love you more than I do right now."

"Ditto, babe." There's a pause. Santana can hear Quinn talking to someone.

"I have to go, I'll call you when I get back to my room. I love and miss you so much. I can't wait for your surprise tonight, give the girls my love."

"I think I might be more excited than you. And I love you more, bye."

"Bye. Ugh, I hate this part, but I have to go." Santana laughs, trying not to cry.

"Me too, Mi amor. bye." Santana hangs up the phone before she does break down, or gets caught using her phone.


Quinn hangs the phone up with a frown, Jay pats her shoulder with a sympathetic smile."I know just how you feel, it's hard to be away from the wife." Quinn nods with a weak smile.

"This is the first time we'll be apart this long. We've been attached to the hip since we were seven." Jay shakes his head with a laugh.

"That is cute and pathetic at the sametime." Quinn lightly hits him in the shoulder as an employee walks in.

"Ready, Mrs. Lopez?" Quinn stands to her feet with a polite smile.

"Yeah."

Jay along with the mall security escort her out, tons of fans are waving, taking pictures and video, screaming her name. Quinn waves back and gives a few hugs as she's escorted to her seat on the tiny stage. An employee near by, tells the fans the rules like no pushing and have their camera's ready, before letting them into the stage.

Quinn tries to be happy and put on a smile, missing Santana and the girls though makes it hard. A group of teenagers she recognizes appraoches her next."Hi, how are you?" The girls smile and slide their books to Quinn and takes a few pictures as she signs them.

"Where's Santana? People outside have been saying you got a divorce, is that true?" Quinn snorts and slides the books back over.

"No, of course not. I love Santana more than anything in the world. She is back home in Lima with girls. She also has a job and Taylor has school. So, they couldn't make it this time, and I miss them like crazy."

The girls awh and tell her they're glad the rumor isn't true, then takes a photo with her. Throughout the singing Quinn gets asked the same questions,'Where's Santana?' 'Is the rumor true?' 'Why are you divorcing, Santana?' Quinn loves her fans, but since missing Santana all she wants to do is go back to the hotel and call her.

Continuing with the signing, she smiles and takes pictures anyway, with her wife and kids on the brain the whole time. Jay sees that Quinn isn't in it like she usually is, he leans down next to her ear.

"We could stop now if you want, go back to the hotel room." Quinn takes a deep breath as she gives a fan their book back, with a smile.

"No, I'll sign a few more. Thanks though, Jay."

He gives her a 'I know you wanna leave look' and shakes his head, returning to his spot behind her. As Quinn told Jay, she signs a few more books and takes a few more pictures before leaving. Quinn taps on the employees shoulder and gestures for the mic.

"Hi, everyone! Thank you so much for coming, you guys are amazing. I'm so blessed and thankful for all of your support, I'm glad you all like the book. I'm sorry I couldn't sign all of them for you, but I'll try to get a few photos with you, thank you coming!"

She hands the employee the mic then Jay and security escort her to the back of the mall. As she promised she takes as many photos as she can, walking through the large crowd. When they get to the back room, Jay tells Quinn there's a few press that wants to interview her in the next room.

"When you say a few, do you mean a few, or alot?" Jay shakes his head with a laugh.

"I mean a few." Quinn takes a deep breath and fixes her hair in the mirror.

"Can you tell them no questions about the stupid rumor? I just don't wanna talk about it tonight. If I have to, I will on GMA." Jay passes the message along and escorts Quinn into the makeshift 'press room.' She takes a deep breath and aproaches Ryan, for E news.

"Hi, nice to finally meet you, Quinn. I just have a few questions and I'll be out of your hair." Quinn laughs nodding her head."You probably got this all day, but I have to ask. Where is your wife? You two are normally attached to the hip." Quinn laughs then clears her throat.

"Yeah, we are, aren't we? She is back home with girls, in Lima. Unlike what people may think, she does have a job and she's amazing at it." Ryan smiles and looks down to his notes.

"Do you plan on taking the girls to another book signing, or just back here to visit in New York? I know last time was for the Ellen show, but have you thought about it?" Quinn thinks about it for a moment then shrugs.

"I don't know, I haven't given too much thought about it. Me and Santana were a little hesitant about it last time, ya know exposing the girls to all the chaos. But yeah, I don't know I would have to talk about it with Santana." Ryan asks about future books and what she would want to write about next when the interview comes to an end.

"That's all the questions I got, have a good day and I hope you're not missing Santana too much." Quinn laughs and shakes his hand before Jay escorts her to the next interview, with TMZ. She shakes the women's hand as she introduces herself.

"First question, have you gotten used to this yet?" Quinn shakes her head, looking around the room.

"No, I don't think I ever will. The fans are really amazing for waiting for so long and it's humbling, to see all the people. I actually think there's more here tonight than I've seen last time, and it's a little overwhelming without my wife here with me. I miss her and the girls." The interviewer asks about the book and if she's writting another before its over and she moves on to the next with the local news.

They introduce themselves and Quinn answers the same questions about Santana,the fans and the book. Aftre two more interviews for Perez Hilton and another blog site, Jay takes her back to the room for her stuff and head out of the building. A few fans that couldn't get in to the signing are waiting outside with paparazzi.

Quinn takes photos with the fans and signs their books and some give her gifts. One of the paparazzi with a video camera follows Jay and her to the car, in the side entrance of the mall.

"Quinn, where is your wife? Are the rumors about the divorce true?" Jay can't help but laugh a the accusation, knowing the couple personally. Quinn just ignores him with a polite smile.

"How are the kids? Do you plan on moving back to the city?" Jay opens the door for her, she climbs in and pulls out her phone, finding one misse call and a new voicemail. Jay pulls out of the parking lot as she listens to the message.

"Hi, Mi amor. I'm on lunch break and wanted to hear your voice, but I guess you're still at the book signing. I've been missing you like crazy, but it seems today everyone is having problems."

"I had a student come in here, ranting on about the world ending and asked, how could he prepare for the zombie apocalypse, how crazy is that? I thought the kid was gonna have a panic attack.(Santana sighs into the phone) "I have to go, I have a dyslexic kid to talk to and guide, I love you so much, babe. Saturday can't come any faster."

Quinn saves the message and puts her phone back with a frown. Jay looks in the mirror, laughing to himself."Miss her that much, huh?" Quinn shakes her head with a light blush.

"No, I miss her more than you know." Jay laughs making her blush even more.

"You'll be fine once she's in your arms again. Believe me the wait is well worth it." Quinn nods and looks out the window with a sigh.


Santana is heading back to her office from lunch when, Mr. Shue stops her in the hall."I just want to thank you for talking to Marley about joining glee club. She came into my office this morning, actually." Santana smiles with a 'no problem' and continues to her office when he stops her again.

"Sorry, I know you're probably busy, I just need to ask for a favor." Santana gestures for him to continue and crosses her arms.

"I'm not always able to be here for Glee club, I have another job. So I was wondering, on those days, that maybe you can be there. It'll help me out." Santana narrows her eyes, Mr. Shue sighs with a pleading look.

"All you'll have to do is help them rehearse, we already have half of the routine. Brittany has been helping with the choreography, so it wouldn't just be you there." Santana sighs and reluctantly agress.

"Fine, I'll do it. Just email me the schedule." Mr. Shue shifts his weight and clears his throat.

"Yeah, sure." Santana sighs, rolling her eyes.

"You want me to start today?" Mr. Shue slowly nods his head."Fine, but I need to call Papi, he's watching the baby. And before it starts, I have to pick Taylor up from school, so she'll have to come with me." Mr. Shue nods with a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Santana. I'll email you the schedule later." Mr. Shue wonders off while Santana continues down the hall and to her office. Opening the door, she jumps, seeing a jock sitting at her desk.

"Jesus Christ, what the hell are doing in here?!" He throws his hands up in surrender putting his feet on the desk.

"You're the Guidence councilor, I need some guidance." Santans groans, putting her purse on the small couch and checks her phone.

"I won't tell Figgins you're using your phone, or that your swore in front of a student." Santana rolls her eyes and puts her phone back. Then gestures for him to get out of the chair.

"Get out of my fucking seat, and if you tell Figgins anything, I'll kick your ass." He shakes his head with a laugh and takes a seat in front of the desk as Santana takes her seat.

"Who are you, and what the hell do you want?" She turns the laptop on and checks her email from Mr. Shue.

"The name's Pukerman." Santana looks over to him with her eyebrows raised.

"That explains alot, douchbag runs in your genes." He groans and leans on the desk.

"I came here to get help, not get bullied cause of my last name." Santana rolls her eyes, leaning back in her seat and crossing her legs.

"Stop being so danm dramatic." He leans back in his chair with a sigh."So do you go by Puckerman, too? How original." She says unamused. He shakes his head and crossing his arms.

"No, first name's Jake." Santana inspects him through squinnted eyes.

"So what's your problem?" Jake shrugs and clears his throat, nervously.

"I sort of have a thing for the new girl, Marley. I know she talks with you and I jus wanted to know if, ya know, if I'm the one she likes." Santana sighs with an eye roll and standing to her feet. Jake looks at her confused as she walks to the door and opens it, pointing out to the hall.

"I'm a Guidence councilor to help with school, or any personal problems. I'm not here to help you get a girlfriend, or to get laid! Get out of my office, go home, and listen to some fucking music about love!" Jake scoffs standing to his feet.

"What the hell?! You won't even tell me if she's into me?!" Santana rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.

"If you're that desperate to ask me, than no. She's not into you, now get out of my office. You Puckerman's know how to fucking piss me off."

Jake groans walking out of the room. Santana slams the door shut and returns to her desk. The rest of the day she helps some seniors look through collages and helps some freshman get their schedule's changed. She continues to check her phone and email, when she receives one from Joise.

Opening it up, reveals a photo of Adrianna. She's laying on her stomach and smiling for the camera. Santana smiles in return, and saves it so she can send it to Quinn when the bell rings, indicating school is over. She shuts down the laptop and calls Josie to let him know about Glee, then heads for the car and drives to the elementary school. Pulling up to the sidewalk she sees Taylor talking to Logan and honks the horn.

"Come on, Mija! We have to go back to the highschool, say goodbye to your friend!" Taylor hugs Logan and runs to the car. She climbs into her seat as Santana pulls out onto the street.

"Why do we have to go back to the highschool?" Santana turns to the road the school is on with a sigh.

"I have to help with Glee club. Aunt Brittany will be there, too. You're gonna be a good girl and do your homework, ok?"

Taylor nods, looking out the window. Santana pulls into the parking lot and they quickly make their way to the auditorium. The students are standing around on the stage, talking with one another. Marley is sitting in the seats doing homework. Santana has Taylor sit next to her.

"Where's Brittany? Is she late?" Marley shakes her head, setting her books aside on the floor and stands to her feet.

"No, she called and said she can't make it. Something about a doctor's appointment." Santana graons, running her hand trough her hair.

"You guys have a routine, right?" Marely nods with a smile."Ok, Mija, get started on your homework, ok?" Taylor nods, taking out her books. Santana gently guides Marley to the stage by her shoulders.

"Ok, everyone since Brit won't be here, we'll just be practicing what you have so far. And we'll do it without the singing first, until you know the choreography, sound good?"

Everyone nods their head with ok's and sures. Santana has them go through the first song as she watches from the floor in front of the stage. She had Kitty get her laptop from the office for the music and has it set next to Taylor.

"That was good, a few we're off a few steps, though. Go through it one more time, and make sure you're doing your counts right." Santana turns the music back on and Taylor tugs on her sleeve.

"Mami, I need help with my writting."

Santana kneels infront of Taylor and shows her how to write her name in cursive. During the song, Kitty catches Marley glancing at Santana, she sees the older women isn't watching and rolls her eyes. Then she storms off the stage to turn the music off.

"Aren't you suppose to be watching us?! How can we get the routine right, if you're not even watching?! Why is your kid even here?!" Santana stands up, crossing her arms with a glare. Before she can say anything, Marley storms off the stage and lightly pushes Kitty.

"Her daughter is here, cause her wife is out of town! And you're the only one who can't get the choreography!" Kitty pushes Marely back and Santana quickly stands between the two.

"Knock it off! I have enough to deal with!" Santana walks closer to Kitty, pointing her finger at her."I don't need to explain to you why I have my kid here, and I certainly don't need you to tell me what to do. You're a little girl, who's just a bitch! I'm the teacher here, and what I say goes, got it?!" Kitty rolls her eyes with a sigh.

"Yeah, I got it." Santana turns to Marley with an appreciative smile and rubs her arm.

"And you, thanks for the help but, like I said, I'm the teacher, ok?" She nods with a light blush, making Kitty roll her eyes again. Santana turns to the rest of them on stage.

"Let's just take a fifteen minute break, except for Kitty and Ryder. Can you go over the cherography with her, por favor?"

Ryder sighs nodding his head as he wipes his face with a small rag. The rest take a seat, talking with their friends or doing homework. Marley takes her seat next to Taylor.

"Mami, I still need help. I can't get the Y to look like yours." Santana picks Taylor up by her arm pits and has her sit on her lap.

"Just do it slow, like I showed you." Santana slowly writes a lower case Y as Marley looks on with a smile. Taylor takes the pencil back and writes one herself, with her tongue poking out the side of her mouth.

"Why doesn't it look like yours?" She whines. Santana smiles and kisses her cheek.

"You have to practice." Taylor sighs with a pout. Marley clears her throat and grabs her own pencil.

"Can I try?" Taylor nods and Marely slides the paper closer to her."I had trouble with my Y's too, and what helped was to write a regular Y on top of the page. It helps having that there since it looks almost the same in cursive." Taylor slides the paper back to her and tries it again.

"See, it looks better than the other one. Just do what your Mami said and practice more."

Taylor sighs and returns to her homework. Santana looks over to Marley with a smile and mouths 'thank you.' She blushes mouthing a shy 'You're welcome' Santana has the choir go through the song again for the last time, then focuses on the other routine. Taylor has finished her homework and helps play the music on Santana's laptop.

"Mija, stop the music, por favor?" Taylor turns the music off as Santana walks towards the stage."I think everyone has the dancing down, why don't we take a break and practice through the duet."

Jake and Marely are singing a mashup of Crazy and You Drive me Crazy. Jake grabs a guitar and a stool as Marely does the same. The rest takes their seats on the risers on stage as Santana takes hers. Jake starts playing the guitar as Marely nervously takes a deep breath.

[Marley:]

Oh, Ooh

[Jake:]

Oh Oh, Yeah

[Marley:]

Baby,

I'm so into you,

You got that somethin',

What can I do

Baby,

You spin me around,

The earth is movin',

But I can't feel the ground

[Jake:]

Oh,

Turns a man,

To a slave

Oh,

[Both:]

[Marley (Jake):]

You know I'm crazy,

[Marley (Jake):]

[Both:]

(Jake and Marely stand and meet each other in the middle, between the stools)

You know,

I'm crazy, crazy, crazy

For you baby

Crazy, Crazy, Crazy,

For you baby

Jake steps closer to Marely in her personal space and she takes a few steps back.

"Ok, good job! I think that's it for today!" Santana helps with putting Taylor's books in her bag as the chior take their things and start to leave. Marley puts her books she left on the floor into her bag as Jake approaches her.

"Hey, Marley. I just wanted to let you know how amazing you were." She throws her bag over her shoulder with a polite smile.

"Thank you, so were you."

Marley looks over Jake's shoulder to see Santana and Taylor leaving the auditorium. Kitty has been watching the exchange as she slowly gathers her things near by.

"I also wanted to say that I really like you, and I want to take you to Breadstix this weekend. Ya know, if you want to." Marley sighs playing with the ends of her hair.

"I'm sorry, Jake. You're a really nice and talented guy, I just don't see you more than just a friend." Jake sighs crossing his arms.

"So, it's not me that you're crushing on?" She looks at him confused, adjusting the strap to her bag.

"Who said I had a crush?" Jake shrugs making Kitty sigh in frustration and approaches them.

"It's so obvious that you do, and who you have a crush on, idiots." Jake looks between the two confused and Kitty rolls her eyes."Mrs. Lopez! She's crushing on the Guidence councilor!" Jake raises his eye brows to Marley, then laughs. Marley looks to the ground avoiding their gaze and Jake stops laughing.

"Wait, for real? That's messed up, isn't she married?"

Marley pushes past them and runs out of the room, crying.


Santana is in her office digging through her cabinet file while Taylor sits at her desk.

"I thought we were picking sissy up and going home?" Santana takes out a few files then closes the draw and sets them on the desk.

"We are, I just had to grab these to look at later." She puts them in her purse just when Marley runs by.

"Mija, why don't you play on my laptop for a few mintues. I'll be right back and then we'll leave, ok?"

Taylor nods and logs on the computer. Santana runs down the hall and sees Marley sitting against her locker crying with her face in her knees. She kneels in front of her and tries to catch her breath.

"I'm so out of shape." Marley wipes her eyes with a sniffle looking up at Santana."What's wrong? You seemed fine talking with Jake when I left." She shrugs with another sniffle.

"I just told him I don't like him more than a friend and, Kitty told him who I do like." Santana sits on her legs with a sigh.

"Did you not want him to know you have a crush on a girl?" Marely shakes her head.

"No, he didn't care about that, just who it is." Santana nods and pats Marley's knee.

"Is she older than you?" She blushes and shyly nods her head."You're not gonna make me play this guessing game are ya?" Marley takes a deep breath and bites her lower lip.

"What if I told you it's someone alot older than me?" Santana arches her brow and shrugs her shoulder.

"So it's a teacher?" Marley sighs and slowly shakes her head. Santana cringes. "Dont tell me it's one of the lunch ladies." She snorts and mouths 'no.' Santana thinks about it for a moment then shrugs her shoulders.

"I give up." Marley bites her lip leaning closer to Santana's personal space and places a small kiss to her lips. Santana lightly pushes her away by her shoulders.

"Whoa." Marley covers her face with a sigh and runs her hands through her hair.

"I'm so, so, so sorry. I just didn't know how to tell you, and for some reason I thought that was the way to go. I'm so, so sorry." Santana waves her off and clears her throat.

"It's ok." She pauses with sighs."Well, not really, it's very inappropriate and I can lose my job. Even though it's very sweet and cute that you have a crush on me, but I'm married, and have two kids I love very much." Marley slowly nods her head and sighs.

"I know and I keep telling myself that, but I can't stop how I feel." Santana pats her knees with a sympathetic smile.

"Yeah, I understand, but maybe you have a crush on me, because I've been helping you get confortable with your sexuality." She shakes her head and shyly places her hand over Santana's.

"I've liked you since the first day of school." Santana sighs, not knowing what else to say. Taylor peeks out of the office, wondering what's taking her mother so long. Marley and Santana look over, and quickly drop their hands aside.

"Mami, are we leaving soon?" She whines. Santana helps Marley to her feet and gestures her to follow her.

"Yeah, baby, we're leaving now. Take the keys and my laptop, I'll meet you out there, ok?" Taylor walks ahead of them as Santana and Marley walk behind her, out of ear shot.

"Do you have a way of getting home?" She nods."Good." As they reach the door, Santana watches Taylor unlock the car and climb into the back seat. Santana turns to Marley and places her hand on her shoulder.

"I know it's hard to get over a crush, and it might be hard to continue with our talks. I think it would be best if you just come to my office two days of the week instead, sound good?" She nods, then clearing her throat she glances over to see if Taylor is watching. The little girl is preoccupied with something.

"You'll probably say no to this, but." She pauses to take a deep breath."Would it be ok if I could kiss you again? I know it's wrong but maybe it'll help like, I don't know, get over the crush."

Santana sighs and looks down the hall out the window. Taylor is looking out the car window with a questioning look, Santana holds up her finger and Taylor returns to her task. She turns her attention back to Marley with a stern look.

"This is just a kiss, nothing more, and you won't tell anyone this, not even your cat, or dog, or whatever animal you have, got it?" She nods as Santana checks to see if Taylor is looking, then turns back to Marley.

"I'm only doing this so you don't have some sort of wet dream about me." The teen blushes nodding her head.

"Ok, I promise I won't tell anyone, and I know it's just a kiss."

Santana sighs and slowly leans in towards her as Marley does the same, and their lips meet in the middle. The kiss is soft but innocent, there's no tongue and they don't rush it. Santana breaks the kiss and clears her throat as Marely traces her bottom lip with her finger.

"I've never kissed anyone other than my wife, but I'm not gonna lie, you're a good kisser."

She blushes, then points to the door."Thanks, I guess we should be going now." Santana nods, and both say their goodbyes before heading out.

On the drive to Josie's house, Santana can't help but feel like she cheated on Quinn. She knows the kiss meant nothing, she didn't feel anything, but it was still someone else she kissed. So, technically she had cheated on Quinn.

Joise is already waiting for them outside with Adrianna in his arms. Santana pulls up to the sidewalk and Joise puts Adri in her car seat then looks over to Santana with a frown."You okay, Mija?" Santana takes a deep breath, running her hand through her hair and nods.

"I'm fine, just missing Quinn." Josie shuts the back down and pats Santana's shoulder with a sympathetic smile.

"Saturday will come soon enough, just be patient." Santana nods and pulls him in a hug.

"Gracias, Papi. See you soon."

Josie kisses her cheek then takes a step back as Santana drives away to the house. When they get there, Santana takes Adri to the nursery for a nap. She leans over the crib and lightly runs the back of her hand down her cheek. All she can think about is, should she tell Quinn? How would she react? Would she want a divorce and take the girls away? Santana sighs and covers her face with her hands when Taylor walks in.

"Mami, I'm hungry." Santana takes a deep breath, wipping her eyes before turning around.

"How bout I order from Breadstix?" She suggests. Taylor nods as Santana approaches her. She picks her up and tightly hugs the little girl and kisses her temple.

"What's wrong, Mami?" She asks, sensing something is off. Santana takes a deep breath holding Taylor a little tighter before setting her to her feet.

"Nothing, just had a bad day and needed a hug." Taylor gently pulls her down by her sleeve and places a big kiss on her cheek and gives her another hug.

"Mommy will make it better. Are we gonna call her on Skype later?" Santana nods with a smile.

"Yeah, lets go order that food, ok?" Santana takes Taylor by the hand into the living room and turns the tv on for her."I'll be right back." Santana takes the phone into the kitchen and orders the food. Then she peeks into the living room before calling Sam.

"Hey, trouty it's Santana."

"Hey, it's been awhile. How's Lima?"

"Yeah, sorry. We've been busy and it's good."

"Uh oh. I know that voice, you sound guilty. What'd you do, San?" Santana takes a seat at the table with a sigh.

"I fucked up, Sam. I don't know what to do, I need your advice."

"This sounds serious and I'm worried."

"I kissed someone, a not Quinn someone. What am I going to do? Should I tell her?"

"What the hell, Santana? Why would you kiss someone? You love Quinn!"

"I know, Sam! Jesus Christ, I did it cause this girl has a crush on me and thought it would help get over it."

"You don't think she'll believe you're in love with her or some shit?"

"No, I told her it was just a kiss so she wouldn't have some wet dream about me."

"Who's the girl?" Santana takes a deep breath.

"It's a student at the high school."

"Holy shit, San! Are you serious?!"

"Yeah, why would I make that up? It's not like she's sixteen, she's a senior."

"That doesn't make it right." Santana groans.

"I know. So, should I tell her?"

"Yeah, that's what I would do. She'll be hurt, though, as I'm sure you know. She loves you more than anything in this world, she's been telling me that since we were kids." He reminds her.

"I know, Sam. You're not helping with the guilt."

"We'll that's something to think about, San. It's possible you fucked up big time and could loose your family because of some little school girl crush!"

"I know." Santana peeks into the living room, there's a knock on the door and Taylor runs to answer it.

"I have to go, our order from Breadstix is here."

"Tell her, San. I can't believe this happening. Call me tomorrow, ok?"

"Yeah, I'll let you know what happens. Bye."

Santana hangs the phone up and pays for the food. After they eat, they change into pajamas and Santana goes to the nursery to feed Adrianna.

"Hey, Mija. You hungry?"

Santana takes Adri to the master bedroom to feed her with the laptop open in front of her. She hasn't stoped thinking about what Sam said and how, Quinn will react. She looks down to Adri, starring up at her with her hazel eyes.

"Ya know, your Mommy's eyes are what I first fell in love with? They stood out, so bright and beautiful, like yours."

Santana leans down and kisses her forehead before putting her over her shoulder and burping her. She pulls the MacBook on her lap and looks through photos she's saved of her and Quinn from the summer. They're in a photo booth from a fair they took the girls to with Brittany and Joe.

The first picture, they're both smiling at the camera. The second they're both making silly faces, and the third, Santana is making a duck face while Quinn kisses her cheek. In the last one their making out, Santana even has her hand on her left breast. She sets Adri next to her on the bed and looks through more photos when the alert from Skype goes off.

"Mija, Mommy's calling!" Santana closes the photos and hits accept when Taylor runs in and jumps on the bed.

"Hi, Mommy! We miss you!" Quinn blows them a kiss with a bright smile.

"Hi my girls! I miss you so, so, so much. How was your day?"

Quinn is sitting at the desk in her hotel room. Santana can see other people in the room with her, but can't see who they are. Taylor talks about her day at school while Santana mentally prepares herself to give Quinn the news.

"Sounds like you had an exciting day, what about you, babe?" Santana takes a deep breath with a weak smile then whispers in Taylor's ear to take Adri downstairs with her. Confusing her wife.

"San, what's wrong?" Taylor takes Adri as Santana helps so she doesn't drop her, and leaves the room. Santana closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Mi amor, you know how much I love you, but I have something serious to tell you. Thats why I had the girls leave the room, and why I need for you to listen and let me finish before you say anything." Quinn turns away from the camera and has Jay with other people Santana doesn't recognize, leave them room. She turns back to the camera and slowly nods her head.

"What is it?"

Santana clears her throat and takes another deep breath. She talks about working with Glee club and what happened during practice. Then she tells her what she talked about with Marley and the first kiss. Quinn tries to interrupt, but she stops her.

"Q, I need to finish, por favor." She nods with a sigh then Santana continues until she gets to the second kiss.

"I'm so, so, so, so sorry, Mi amor. I just did it so maybe it would help get over this crush she has. On the drive home, I just kept thinking about how you'll hate me, and how upset you'll be. I even called Sam for advice. I was plainning on telling you, I just needed to hear it from someone else." At this point Santana is crying, Quinn is showing no emotion and it worries Santana.

"Q, say something." She pleads. Quinn shakes her head and bangs on the desk.

"Jesus Christ, Santana! I thought you were gonna tell me you cheated! Dont do that to me!"

Santana looks at her confused, shaking her head."What are you talking about? I did cheat, I kissed another girl." Quinn nods.

"I know but, did you feel anything when you did? Was it the same as when you kiss me?" Santana shakes her head with a sniffle.

"It didn't come close, it was just a kiss." Quinn nods.

"Exactly, San. It was just a kiss. You don't have feelings for her, you don't love her. It was just a kiss." Santana smiles shaking her head.

"I didn't even think about it like that, in my mind, I kissed someone that wasn't you. So I thought I cheated, and I thought you would hate me." Quinn cuts her off, holding up her hand and shaking her head.

"Don't think about it anymore if it only upsets you. Everything is fine, I love you and I know you love me." Santana wipes her eyes with a sigh. "I have some really good news, and a surprise." Quinn leans down, going out of view from the camera. Then pops back up with a big smile.

"Ok, good news first. I won't be here for the rest of the week. I got a call from the other stores and mall, they cancelled. I'll be home in two days!" Santana smiles and pumps her fist, making Quinn laugh.

"Wanna see your surprise?" Santana bites her bottom lip, eye brow raised and nodding her head. Quinn pulls out a pair of pink lingerie from Victoria secret.

"I got it online the other day, and I think it's the perfect time to try it on. What do you think?" Santana slowly nods her head making Quinn laugh."Lock the door." Santana quickly gets up and peeks out the hall.

"Mija! Stay downstairs, ok?" Taylor yells back an ok. Santana locks the door and returns to the bed.

"I thought about waiting to wearing this when I get home." Quinn pauses slowly pulling down her pajama pants."But then I thought, fuck it." Santana watches as Quinn steps away from the camera and sees her shirt being thrown to the floor, along with her underwear.

"Mi amor, you're already driving me crazy." Quinn's leans over in view of the camera with her arms covering her chest.

"Patience." Santana groans making her laugh then steps out of view from the camera."I'll be back in a minute, babe." Santana sighs, running her hand through her hair. Quinn soon steps out in the lingire and takes the laptop to the bed and lays down on her side in front of it.

"Mi amor, you're so beautiful. I wish I was there with you." Quinn rests her head on her propped hand while slowly sliding the bra cup down.

"San, get undressed. I wanna see you touch yourself." Santana sets the laptop aside but so Quinn can still see her and undresses. She lays in the same position as Quinn, revealing her left breast as Quinn groans.

"You know how much I love your twins." Santana throws her head back with laugh then slowly removes her bra, Quinn slides her hand in her underwear and traces circles to her clit.

"San, touch yourself." She moans. Santana lays on her side, slipping her hand in her underwear while playing with her left nipple as Quinn would do. Santana moans watching Quinn do the same.

"I need more, Q." Quinn slides her underwear off as Santana does the same then enters themselves with two fingers.

"Fuck, this is hot." Santana moans. The couple get off watching each other until they reach their climax.

"I love you so much, Quinn. I can't wait til you come home, I don't know if I can handle two days without you." Quinn takes the sheets and covers herself laying on her stomach.

"I know, I can't either. When I have you in my arms, I don't know if I can let you go again." Santana smiles through tears.

"I don't care how pathetic we sound, I don't want to be away from you for this long again, ever." She smiles wipping her eyes.

"Ditto." Quinn checks the time on the bottom of the screen with a sigh."Babe, I have to go. You know how early, GMA is. I'll call you, ok?" Santana nods with a pout.

"I love you so much, San. Give the girls my love." Santana smiles and blows her a kiss.

"Te Amo. I'll be dreaming about you tonight."

Quinn laughs and waves goodbye before ending the call. Santana closes Skype and the photos, before shutting it down and dressing back into her clothes. She unlocks the door and walks down to the living room, the tv is still on and the girls have fallen asleep on the couch.

Santana covers Taylor with a blanket and kisses her temple then takes Adri and places her on the loveseat. She surrounds the baby with pillows, then kisses her cheek. She turns the tv off and johns Taylor on the couch, spooning her from behind and facing the back of the couch.

"Night, Mija. Te Amo."
