When Leroy finally pulled the car up in front of the cabin, Santana was ready to tuck and roll before he could even put the car in park. The ride home had been filled with nothing but silence after Rachel had told Sue that Daniel didn't drug her at the bar. That meant that there was someone else out there that could have been working with the Porter's or some sleaze ball that had done it with different ill intentions. They would run the security footage again, trying to find this person. Any conversation Santana had tried to start was only responded to with shoulder shrugs and head nods. If screaming wouldn't cause extreme pain, she would be belting it out right now.

Rachel was completely stuck in her head. She admittedly felt immensely better after talking to Daniel, she just couldn't imagine the hurt from having your brothers turn against you like that. She knew the hurt from friends who turned out to not be friends really at all, but being an only child she never got the chance to have what a lot of people refer to as built in best friends. To have those best friends turn against you like that must really really suck.

Climbing out of the car, Rachel walked around to the trunk to gather Santana's crutches. Something was going on with her father, because he hadn't said anything either on the way back to the cabin. Maybe he was stuck in his head too. Santana was already half way out of the car standing on one foot when Rachel made it back around to the front passenger door.

"Are you okay?" Santana asked as she took in the pensive look on Rachel's face. Rachel gave her a small smile. She was okay and with time she would be even better.

"I'm doing okay, just thinking a lot." Rachel ran her hands up and down Santana's arms.

"Fair enough, are you hungry? We can go in and cook an early dinner?" Santana wasn't going to push Rachel into talking about whatever she was thinking about. She would talk when she was ready.

"I actually am pretty hungry since I skipped breakfast this morning."

Before the girls could head inside Leroy called for Santana to stay back a moment, because he wanted to talk to her about something. Santana turned to look at Rachel and nodded for her to go on in, she would be in, in a minute.

"What's up?" Santana looked at Leroy who was silently watching Rachel unlock the cabin door and go inside. It still made Santana's heart flutter to see Rachel using the key that she had been given when she had her visit with Dr. St. James.

Leroy jingled the keys in his hand. "I've been doing a lot of thinking and I was wondering if you had any land for sale or knew someone who does."

"Are you thinking of moving here? Does Rachel know? Well I guess not since you asked me alone." Santana was shocked and very excited for Rachel if Leroy was really thinking of moving here.

"Rachel and I have spoken a little bit about it and I told her I would think about it. So I sat down and I really got to thinking. I can write anywhere, I am a writer you know. Rachel is here, her life is New York now, whether it be here or in the city and I just want to be closer to where she is."

Santana shook her head, she had no idea that Leroy was a writer. She had wondered but never had the chance to ask yet. However, she wondered if there was more to this moving announcement. "Is this just about Rachel or is it about a certain man that is a ski instructor?"

"Both really. I really like Bayani and Rachel deserves a better father. I can't be that better father if I stay in Ohio. It will be hard to leave Hiram, but I know he is with me no matter where I am. So you do know of any land for sale?"

Santana sighed and ran through all the people she knew in her head who might have land for sale. "I don't have any for sale, I sold everything except the home stead property when I moved up here. Noah Puckerman did have a couple of plots that were good size for sale. We can ask him?"

"I would really appreciate it." Leroy smiled, he couldn't wait to find out if Noah had any land for sale, this was going to be great.

"Are you wanting to build a cabin on your own or have a kit put together?" Santana asked. She didn't care for kits herself, but hey if that's what you wanted then the more power to you. There were some that was absolutely gorgeous.

"I don't know much about building a cabin on my own, so yeah a kit was my first option."

"Kits are quicker to be built but it will still take a while."

"That's fine. I would have to go back to Ohio to pack up and sale the house, I need to return this rental and get my car to drive back, there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done. I also need to tell Rachel."

"When do you plan on telling her?" This was a big secret and Santana wasn't sure just how long she could keep it from Rachel.

"After the trial is over. I want to meet with Noah first, check out the land and go from there."

Santana nodded her head and walked towards the cabin. "It will be our secret. Now, let's go see if Rachel found anything for dinner or if she is waiting on us."

Before they could reach the cabin door, Rachel stepped out onto the porch with Dax right behind her. "Where are you two going?"Santana eyed both of them suspiciously.

"Well I was wondering if Dad would run back to town really quick. I know there's plenty of food in there but I made a list of a few things we might need when the snow storm hits." Rachel looked to Leroy who quickly nodded his head. He didn't mind going back into town, if this was something that Rachel needed him for, he would be there.

"Oh..okay. Just hang on a second." Santana started towards the cabin at a quick pace.

"Where are you going now?"

Santana turned around to look at Rachel. "I was going to get you some money, I don't have any on me."

Rachel gave Santana a look that she couldn't quite read. "I have money."

"I just thought..well I don't know what I was thinking. I don't want you to spend your money on things we need here."

"Did you hear what you just said. Things we need, which means it's perfectly okay for me to spend money. You have spent enough on clothes for me and feeding me. Let me spoil you a little bit Santana...please?" Rachel gave Santana her best puppy dog eyes and pout. Santana wouldn't let her spend a dime of money if she could help it. But Santana didn't have a choice in this matter.

"Okay, but will you let me give you something to contribute?"

Rachel shook her head and walked in front of Santana and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Do you want to go with us or would you rather stay here? It's been a long day and I know you're probably hurting."

"I think I will stay here, take some medicine and lay down maybe after Dax comes back in."

"Okay, we will back in a little bit." Rachel gave Santana another kiss before walking over to get back into the car where Leroy was already waiting.


Leroy and Rachel walked in Shuebury's and started to look around. Leroy was slightly amazed, sure they had wholesale stores in Ohio but this one was different. Why had he never been in here before to just walk around? Shuebury's literally had a little bit of everything.

"What's all on your list honey?" Leroy asked as he grabbed a cart for them. He didn't think they would need one of the giant carts that would hold many boxes of things.

"Well I need almost everything to make shrimp scampi. That's Santana's favorite seafood. Uhm..let's see, I want to get a few more of her luxury items as she calls them and just some few other odds and ends. Nothing too major." Rachel smiled at her dad as she showed him the list. He nodded his head in approval as he headed down the first isle.

"What does she consider her luxury items?" Leroy asked with interest as he studied some bundles of parsley.

Rachel giggled as she looked over her list. Santana's luxury items where things that she could live without if she had too, but she bought them because they were available and she had the means to purchase them. "Well, beer and diet soda are two main ones, but she still has plenty of those because she doesn't drink either of them that often. Mango and strawberry Mochi ice cream, she really puts in the effort for those since they stay coldest in the ice house, pretzel chips, blueberry Greek yogurt pretzels, french vanilla almond granola and lemon tea biscuits. Those are her favorites." Rachel grinned proudly once she had finished reading off the list. It didn't take her long to learn and remember all of those since living with Santana.

Leroy scrunched up his nose. "Those all sound very...healthy. I thought luxury items would be just down right disgusting junk food."

Rachel shrugged her shoulders. "I would think sometimes she might splurge on something like that, but she sticks to a pretty decent nutrition plan. She eats what she wants though. Besides healthy doesn't mean gross, you know this."

"That is true, that granola sounds delicious. We can get that here? I'd like to try it."

"We should be able to get everything here and what we can't they will order. She knows everyone that works here pretty well." The continued walking through the store gathering everything they needed. They were headed to the cash register when Rachel heard someone call her name. She turned around and spotted Finn trying to catch up to them.

"Hi Rachel." He gave what Rachel had learned to be his signature dopey grin.

"Hi Finn. What can I do for you?" Rachel smiled politely back at him.

"You're still staying with Santana right?" Rachel nodded her head. "Well, her movies for the Local Request where supposed to be this weekend, I think she forgot anyway since she hadn't asked about them anymore. The list was behind too because of the last snow storm. Anyway, with the snow coming tonight and her getting hurt in the accident, I pushed them to next month. I don't want her to miss the movies she asked for, you know? I was just wondering if you could tell her?"

"What's the Local Request?" Rachel had never heard of that before. She knew that Finn ran the movie theater but that was about it.

Finn puffed up his chest. He loved when people asked about the movie theater. "It's this list where locals can make requests for movies. It's such a small theater, that they send older movies for practically nothing. I swap it out with Black and White weekends."

"That sounds really cool. I might have to stop by and make a request." This was why Rachel was really starting to love living here, you just didn't have cool things like that in the city. "I will make sure to tell her. We were just heading back there now after we check out." Rachel motioned to her father who was just standing there with a polite smile on his face.

"Oh, sorry Mr. Berry." He stuck his hand out to shake the mans hand. "Do you guys need any help?"

Leroy looked down into the cart, they didn't really have all that much stuff and he was perfectly capable of carrying the heavier items. "I think we got it."

"Okay, see you around." Finn waved as he headed back the way he came to finish stocking something on one of the shelves. Rachel just smiled and watched Finn go back to work. She turned back around to see that her father had walked away, she rolled her eyes and ran to catch back up with him at the check out lines.


It was just starting to snow when Leroy and Rachel pulled back up to the cabin, they unloaded the groceries quickly so that Leroy could make it back to the lodge before it got bad. "Are you sure you don't want to stay here with us Dad?" Rachel was emptying the large bag she had brought in, into the cabinet; Santana would probably rearrange it later.

Leroy looked out of the kitchen window, the snow was there but still not doing much. "I will be fine, I probably won't see you for a few days, so come walk me out and then you can start dinner and wake Santana up." Before they had started to unload the groceries, Rachel had went and checked on Santana to find her sound asleep with Dax laying next to her thigh. She knew the woman was tired so she left her to her nap with a kiss on her forehead.

Rachel was a little sad that she might not see her father for a few days, however there wasn't much she could do about it. The snow would only get worse throughout the night. "Don't forget, we find out Friday or Saturday if they are going to go ahead with the trial." Rachel said as she followed her father back out to his car.

"I won't. I will be back as soon as possible." Leroy placed a kiss on the top of Rachel's head as he wrapped her in a hug.

"I love you! Be careful!" She yelled as he responded in kind and closed the door and started the car. She imagined he was pretty tired with all the driving he had been doing today. She hoped he would take a rest once he got back to the lodge. Tilting her head to the sky, Rachel let the snow flakes fall against her face. She didn't think she would ever get used to the beauty that surrounded the cabin.
