-Chapter 24-
-Santana pov-
I'm lucky today that I don't have any classes. College life isn't so hard sometimes. I get to be at home with one of my fiancés! It's honestly a good thing.
I haven't had a bunch of alone time with Rachel recently. I had planned on something fun but it started raining. I am slightly upset though. No one has said anything about my birthday.
Like I know I'm 18 and all but..it's still nice. It's nice to know they are thinking about me. I guess it's been a busy day. Cass asked Shelby to go in with her for glee.
"How's the most lovely girl in the world?" I look and see rcahel looking at the coat rack "You seem to have slimmed down some"
"Rach that's the coat rack" I stand up and walk over to her "What's going on?"
"I have no clue" She turns and I see her goggles are missing "We are the only two here and we don't know where they put my goggles"
"We had another freedom day" I grab her hand and lead her to the kitchen "They should be in here"
I feel dead weight and head a mouth bubble. I turn and see Rachel has gone little. What is she hiding? I let go of her hand and take another step.
Crunch!
I look down and see her goggles...SHIT! I look back at Rachel who just blows more bubbles. I smile and think about this. This could be my birthday.
"Alright!" I pick up Rachel and then lead us to the playpen "This is where we shall be!"
I put her in and lock it. I grab some snacks and put them where we can get them. I get some bottles and fill them up with juice. I don't wanna spoil any breast milk.
I get in the pen with her finally and sit. I let everything go and smile. This is how we will spend time together! I strip down to the diaper and do the same for her.
"E ay!"
-Time skip-Shelby pov-
"Remind me why I came to help?" I watch as the last student walks out "That was a rough meeting"
"I just want everyone on the same page" Cass sighs "Is everyone ready for tonight?"
"I think so" I pull out the to do list "Only need to pick up the Ice cream cake later"
Cass nods and looks at the girls "Thanks for coming in your free time" She stands up and stretches "I'm so exhausted"
"Well we have a bounce house" I look at my phone "Maribel still has the hoses going like rain at the house"
"You think she'll be mad we didn't say happy birthday?" Cass looks a little worried "I just don't wanna make her upset"
"It'll be fine" Lucy walks over with some papers "I'm sure her and Rachel are having a blast right now! They are so close and I bet they are probably playing around right now"
"Maybe it's time to send over Dee?" The girls look at me confused "She was the next part but I'm worried that they may slip"
"That could be smart" Cass pulls out her phone "I'll call her"
I nod and look at the list of things to do. We have been focusing on making this a good birthday for the Santana. We changed the birthday rule when we moved here. Just easier to focus and make the birthday better.
"Aunt Dee said she's on her way there" Cass looks over at me "Means we got time to get anything extra"
I nod and we head out. I really hope we can make today worth it.
-Time skip-Dee pov-
I use the spare key, Cass gave me, to get in to the house. I walk in and look around. I head giggles but can't find them. I really should've paid attention in the tour.
I walk and end up in the kitchen. I look and sigh as I walk to the table. I see a pill bottle and pick it up. So this is how they feed huh?
I put the bottle down and stand back up. Now I got to find to the two kids. I walk around and end up in I think the living room. I hear the giggling more and finally see them.
They are in a play area with snacks and juice. I walk back to the kitchen without being noticed. I quickly look around the fridge for something but nothing looks good. I open the freeze and see some milk bags.
"Alright" I pull some out "Let's make bottles"
I make the bottles the way I think I need to. I take the two bottles back to the girls. They look so happy. Then I remember a step I forgot.
"Ee!" I look down at the girls and smile "En ou er?"
"I've been here a while just had a call to make" the girls nod and I hold out the bottles "Here you go"
"Up?" Rachel makes grabby hands at me "Up! Up!"
I pick her up and soon have to pick up the other one too. I struggle but I carry them to the couch. Once there I put them on a side and start to feed them. There bottles slowly become empty.
I just really hope the ladies know what they are doing.
-Time skip-Santana pov-
I wake up with a groan. I feel a blanket resting on me. I look around and see I'm alone on the couch. I hear music out back and get up. I slowly make my way to the back door crawling.
I don't feel like being older right now. I'm now 19 but I wanna be little. It's easier for me. I really enjoy doing this when I can.
It has helped with what happened as a kid but it's also helped now. It gives a break from reality. I really just want to keep it up. But I also have to remember Broadway.
I open the back door and stop. There's a banner and a bouncy castle! They remembered my birthday! I smile and crawl quicker to them.
"There's my Mija!" Mumsy picks me up "How's my special girl?"
"Ood!" I lay my head on her shoulder "Ank ou"
"I love you Mija" She carries me over to the group "Look who finally woke up"
Everyone smiles and waves. I look at the castle and see the girls bouncing. I point and Mumsy walks over with me. She puts me down and I get in.
We bounce around for a bit before getting called out. I open presents and then I get ICE CREAM CAKE! I smile and thank everyone for the party. It's honestly been a great day.
We play some more until dinner time. After dinner Mommy pulls out a microphone. We go over and she smiles while setting it up. She taps it and then looks at us.
"Alright" She steps away from the microphone "Since we have heard nonstop about Valerie and haven't gotten a live performance! How about we get a special one today?"
I smile and get over to the microphone. I take a deep breath and remember the song. Soon I hear it playing and see Shelby at a radio. I gives her a thankful nod and start singing.
-Santana singing-
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Are you shopping anywhere
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
That you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
Since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
Since I've come on home
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Valerie
Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
Everyone claps and I smile. After that we go into karaoke and play around. When it's time for bed I'm exhausted. Today was honestly a good day.
It's days like this i appreciate my family. They love me and I love them. I can't think of where I'd be right now without them. I don't wanna think about that.
I just hope we stay this happy. Everything is on the up and I'm not ready for the down.
