Chapter 36

Adriana stared at her notebook as the teacher droned on at the front of the classroom. Santana and Quinn were passing notes back and forth and Rachel seemed to be the only one of their group that was taking notes. Puck was leaned back in his chair sleeping and looked dangerously close to tipping over. Suddenly there was a knock at the door and everyone looked up. Conner was standing there with a nervous smile on his face. "I need to speak with Adriana Reed." He said. There was a thick envelope in his hands and he held it up at her. She jumped up excitedly and followed him into the hall; not even waiting for the teacher's permission. "It came in the mail this morning." He sounded just as excited as Adriana was. "I thought I would wait to open it until we were together and I couldn't wait anymore." Adriana was bouncing slightly. "Do you want me to open it?"

"Please." Adriana nodded eagerly. It didn't take long for Conner to tear open the envelope and take out the results of their DNA test. His smile grew as he read and soon he had Adriana in his arms; spinning her around in a hug.

"It's positive!" He practically yelled.

It was about 10 minutes later that Adriana walked back into the classroom with a new bounce in her step. Her friends were looking at her curiously and she couldn't keep the grin off her face. As soon as she sat down a piece of folded up paper hit her in the back of the head. She turned around to see Puck motioning for her to open it. Then there was a note being passed back from Quinn and one being slid over from Santana. She opened Santana's first and read it quickly.

What's going on? Is it about our "business" in NY? She smiled as she wrote a quick reply. No, I'll tell you after class. It's really good news to me though and I'm very excited. I think we should skip next class. Santana smirked when she read through the reply. Janitor's closet? She wrote back and Adriana nodded in response. Santana grinned and went back to doodling in her notebook. She opened Puck's next and almost laughed out loud.

You seem very excited. Are we celebrating tonight? I'll bring the beers! She wrote out a quick reply and threw it back to him when the teacher's back was turned. I'll get back to you on that soon! Next was Quinn's note. I was worried that something was wrong but I see that you're excited about something. What's up? Adriana wrote that she would tell her later and passed it back quickly. She turned back to her notes and sighed when she realized she missed a lot. The bell rang and Rachel turned around in her seat. "Don't worry Adriana." She said kindly. "You can borrow my notes to fill in what you missed. I know that you like to have all the notes."

"Thanks Rach." Adriana smiled in thanks and soon found herself surrounded by her friends. Puck was standing behind her and Quinn and Rachel were standing in front of her. Santana took her hand and led her toward the door.

"Well we have to go; don't want to be late." Santana said quickly and Adriana laughed.

"I'll walk with you to class." Quinn said with a smirk. She figured they weren't going to class because Santana never cared about being late.

"Who said anything about class?" Santana asked with a smirk. "I've got an appointment." Adriana couldn't help the giggle that escaped her.

Once inside the janitor's closet Santana turned to her wife. "So what's the news?"

"Conner was in love with my mother."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and she had an affair with him just before I was born so we had a DNA test done to see if maybe he could be my father." Santana smiled brightly.

"And you got the results?" Adriana nodded with tears in her eyes. "Don't cry mi amor!"

"It's happy tears. The results came today and it's positive!" Santana brought her into her arms.

"That's amazing baby!" They shared a passionate kiss and Adriana clung to her wife. "Congratulations!"

"Thanks love. I'm so happy."

"I definitely think we need to celebrate tonight Puck." Adriana said as she sat next to him in her next class. Santana sat on her other side and moved closer. "I'm going to see if someone will take Reed overnight so we can party."

"Sweet." He said as he held up his fist for her to bump. "I'll get the goods." He said as he looked around. "Who's coming?"

"I think just the Gleeks." She replied quickly and Puck nodded; already taking out his phone and texting someone.

"So…" Quinn said as she sat down next to her best friend. They sat together alone in the library for their free period. Santana went with Puck to collect party supplies. "What's going on? I see it's something to celebrate. So what is it?"

"Remember how I told you that Conner was in love with my mother?" Quinn nodded. "Well, he told me they had an affair before I was born. We had a DNA test done and it turns out that he is my father!" Adriana whispered excitedly. Quinn's smile brightened and she hugged the brunette tightly.

"That's amazing Adriana." She said as she pulled away.

"Now, how are things with you and Rachel?" The blonde blushed slightly and looked at the table. "How many dates have you been on now?"

"Three." She said quietly. Adriana smiled kindly and patted Quinn's shoulder.

"That's really awesome Q."

"She was actually thinking of asking you if you wanted to double date with us. She was afraid to ask because of Santana though." Adriana chuckled and nodded.

"I'll talk to her about it and make sure she keeps the sarcasm to a minimum."

"Thanks." They both laughed.
