Good Morning Upper east siders (or wherever you may live)

A/N: Guys, this has been an amazing journey for me. This story was my first really successful story and it pains me to see it go. This is not the end (I promise) however I am taking a HIATUS from Siblings for the time being. I'm just not feeling it anymore. I will still continue on with Dalton and post the new story that you guys have been voting for VERY SOON (Maybe even today...) but this'll be the last chapter of Siblings by hannahginny for a while. NOT FOREVER, just a while.

Does anyone actually read these A/N's?

Enjoy:

"Oh Noah" Shelby sobbed heavily into Noah's arms. Noah awkwardly hugged his mother back while scanning the aisles to make sure no one was watching.

"Mom" Noah whined. "Stop, you're embarrassing yourself and me"

"Sorry" Shelby wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up straight.

"Go hug and be sappy with Quinn" Noah jutted his thumb towards Quinn who was wearing a matching graduation gown and hat. She had her hair done up in curls.

It was June 21st, also known to the Lima population as graduation day.

"But you're my first baby to graduate" Shelby started sobbing again. She took a tissue out of her purse and blew her nose.

Santana laughed on the sidelines. "Mom'll get this out of her system and then she'll be even less sappier for me. Actually shrimp, you'll have it the easiest. After doing this 2 times, she'll be a pro." Santana didn't count Quinn in the numbers because she wasn't their mother's daughter.

"Ya right. I'm the last one to fly the coop. She'll be a bucket full of tears." Rachel said. "Oh and don't call me shrimp"

Santana laughed again. "So, what'd you get her?" She hip bumped Rachel.

"You'll see" Rachel tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"How's the job at Aunt Emma's coming along?"

"I'm mostly polishing items and working the cash register."

"Does she pay well?"

"When did you get so snoopy? It's not like Quinn needs anything. She has a scholarship and lots of luggage. What more does she need for University?" A couple weeks ago Quinn got a notice in the mail congratulating her for getting an academic scholarship to Yale.

"A girl can never have enough jewelry. Remember that when I'm graduating, kay?" She winked at Rachel. "Preferably something shiny"

Rachel wrapped her arms around Santana's waist. "I don't want you to leave Sanny."

"Hey, we have another year before we can get all sappy about it." She kissed Rachel's forehead.

Principal Figgins walked up the steps of the stage and tapped the microphone. "If everyone please take a seat, the ceremony is about to begin"

There were final hugs and pictures and then the graduates went into the hallway and waited until they were called up for their diplomas.

Santana took Rachel's wheelchair handles and pushed her to where Shelby and Russel were sitting. Shelby was dabbing her eyes with a Kleenex.

"I would now like to present to you the graduation class of McKinley High, 2012" Shelby jumped up and started clapping as the Senior class walked down the aisle. Russel snapped a picture of Noah as he passed. He winked at Rachel and continued walking.

"Is he wearing sandals?" Santana gestured to Noah's footwear. Rachel looked down and saw her brother wearing socks with sandals. She put her hand in front of her mouth as she laughed.

"How did mom not notice?" Rachel asked between giggles.

"Shh girls" Shelby whispered at Rachel and Santana. "Here comes Quinn" Russel snapped a picture of his daughter as she walked by. The end sequins on Quinn's dress showed under the black graduation gown. It was sheer and the sequins shimmied when the lights hit them.

"She's looks so pretty" Rachel gushed. She self-consciously smoothed down her skirt.

"I can't believe they're leaving" Shelby's voice quavered as 'Ash, Abigail' was called up for her diploma.

"They're not leaving for another week mom" Rachel leaned over Santana so she could pat her mother's leg comfortingly.

"Ya but we won't see them tonight" Shelby sobbed. Noah and Quinn had been invited to every single graduation party McKinley High students were throwing. Even Santana got invited to a couple but she opted to stay home.

"But you'll see them tomorrow, and the day after that and-"

"We know how the calendar works Rach" Santana snapped. On the outside Santana looked as cool and collected as always. However on the inside she was a mess. She wanted to burst into tears like her mother and nervously stammer like Rachel. She wanted to hug Noah (and maybe Quinn too) and never let go.

"And now we will have the valedictorian Derek June address the graduating class." There was polite clapping and a whistle (probably from Derek's family) and Principal Figgins stepped aside so a mousy brunette could stand at the podium.

"Today is the first day to the rest of your life!" He said.

"Ugh" Santana groaned. "How cheesy can you get?"

Apparently very cheesy. The speech went on with quotes from famous people, analogies and 'the rest of your life' finished many sentences.

By the time the graduates were accepting their diplomas Santana was only half-conscious. Rachel jostled her awake.

"Santana, Noah and Quinn are about to accept their diplomas" Rachel said excitedly. "How could you have fallen asleep during the valedictorian speech? It was very inspirational and he used a Barbra quote!"

"Hmm" Santana mumbled incoherently, wiping sleep from her eyes.

"Corcoran, Noah" Noah walked up and accepted his diploma from Principal Figgins.

"LATER LOSERS!" He yelled as he walked across the stage. Most of the graduates laughed and Principal Figgins just took a deep breath.

"Oh Noah" Shelby muttered under her breath. "Always has to have the last word."

Quinn's acceptances was much more graceful. Her heels clicked across the stage and she smiled politely when she accepted her diploma. It was only after that that things tumbled downwards

A/N: Should I leave it here? Hmmm (Jeopardy song plays)

Hmmmm...

What shall I do?

The curtain behind Quinn came falling down and sprayed onto the wall was two words, 19 letters. Congratulations SLUT!

"Good riddance" Quinn muttered directly into the microphone and she walked off stage with her head held high. Santana's eyes scanned the curtains and saw Quinn push two girls who'd already accepted their diplomas backwards.

"I'll be right back" She excused herself from her stunned family and exited the auditorium. She ran down the empty hallway (minus a couple making out by Quinn's...old locker now) and entered the side door to the auditorium. She pushed past a weepy couple and some nerdy freshman helping Principal Figgins out until she reached her step-sister.

"Hey!" She hissed at the girls. Quinn and the two girls were in a glaring bitch fight match. "I don't know who you think you are or what you think you've accomplished in that prank but you know what?" She didn't let the girls reply. "I've had just about enough of your blonde bimbo bulls**t!"

The girls broke their gaze with Quinn to finally look at Santana. "Look girls, you've graduated now. You're on your way to college or university. You can't pull stupid a** pranks anymore. The professors wont appreciate and neither will your 20 something class mates. I mean honestly, you're being childish and immature and you're both what? 18?" The girls nodded and Santana barked out a laugh. "Such babies. Now I'm going to go enjoy the day with my family and I suggest you do too. Come on Q" Santana grabbed Quinn by the arm and dragged her out into the hallway.

When the door closed behind them the two girls just stared into each other's eyes.

"I'm going to miss you S" Quinn's voice broke and tears floated in her eyes.

"Me too Q"

"It's not the end though S" Quinn replied. "So why are we sad?"

"It's a new beginning and I hate new beginnings. They're too new" Santana said.

"Oh would you just kiss and make up already." Kurt sassed. He'd come to watch his older brother graduate and just happened to be walking in the hallway, bored out of his mind at the ceremony, and witnessed the cheesy moment.

Quinn let out a watery laugh and hugged Santana tightly.
