-Chapter 88-

-Rachel pov-

"Alright settle down!" I sit with the girls in our normal glee seats as mom stands in front of us "Shelby will be here in a minute! For now I'd like you to take a paper and pick what song you'd like to do for nationals!"

Emma hands out paper pieces while Maribel hands us pens. She finishes handing pens out before rushing out the door. I smile as she does cause she has one on her face. She's really enjoyed working in the lunch room. I think she's happy about that and being included with all the moms.

"Rachel" I look up at Emma and she points to my paper "Write a song down"

I nod and start thinking about songs. I write some down and hand it to Emma. When I go to sit back down I see a blonde girl in my chair. My girlfriends notice quickly when I don't sit down.

"Uhhh" Santana tilts her head and looks at the girl "What ya doin?"

"I'm doing nothing" The girls smirks and looks at Lucy "Id love you to be doing me though"

"Excuse me?" She looks at me with a glare "That's my girlfriend"

"You have two others" The girl puts a arm around Lucy "Way it seemed yesterday she wants away from all of you"

"I appreciate the flirting" Lucy grabs the girls hand and removes the arm from around her "But I'm happily with these girls..yesterday was just a stupid mistake on my part"

"Yeah very stupid" Lucy looks at me unamused and I just shrug "You said it first"

"Why don't you come to a real woman?" The blonde puts her hand under Lucy's chin and turns Lucy's head "This one comes with no pacifier or diaper included"

"You know I have both of those too right?" Lucy pulls her pacifier out of her pocket "I have this on me at all times"

"You're actually one of them?" The blonde lets go of Lucy and looks disgusted "You poor soul!"

"Amy" We all jump and look to see my mom standing behind me "What's wrong with Lucy that she's a poor soul?"

"I-Uh-well" Amy's face flushes and she stumbles over everything "I-I didn't know she's was like them"

"I understand you may not support the lifestyle but please don't bully them" Mommy puts her hand on my shoulder and looks at everyone "I hope you all can abstain from bullying my girls because of the life we live...I hope you don't bully anyone! Bullying can cause people to do some dark things"

"Like trying to hang them self but they weight too much and break the board" We all look at Lucy who's face has gone blank "And every try you do you get more and more desperate for it to work but you think back to the board...always the dang board!"

"I'll take care of her" Momma walks up to Lucy and stands her up "Come with me sweetie"

Momma leads Lucy out and the room goes silent. I don't think anyone knows what to say. There is quick shuffling and I turn to see Santana holding back Jasmine. That's not what I was expecting.

"YOU HEARTLESS BITCH!" Pamela and sugar have joined in the effort to hold Jasmine back "LET ME AT HER! I MAY BE MAD AT LUCY BUT NO ONE HURTS HER!"

"I'm sorry!" Amy cowers and covers her face "Don't kill me! I was put up to it!"

"Put up to it?" Amy looks at me and nods "By who?"

"Someone left a note in my locker with some money" Amy fishes out a piece of folded up paper "It only has a M on it"

"I think I know who that was" I sigh recognizing the handwriting "I'd love to know how she got into the school"

"You're doors aren't very secure" I turn to the doorway to see a smiling Tina "I was told to come here about joining the Vocal Adrenaline crew"

"TINA!" I run over to her and hug her tightly "You're here!"

"She's not alone" I look to see Kurt and Blaine "We aren't coming to this school but honestly you need better security"

"Thanks for the heads up" Mommy sighs and puts a hand on my shoulder "I told Madison to look into locks"

"I'm gonna go check on Lucy" I turn toward my three friends and smile "I'll be right back!"

They nod and I run to find Judy and Lucy.

-Lucy pov-

"You ok?" I nod my head and Momma sits next to Mami "You went deep there sweetie"

"Just remembered the past" I sigh and shake my head "Bad times"

"I know" Momma sighs and puts a hand on my knee "I'm sorry I wasn't a good mom through all of that"

"It's ok" I put a hand on hers and give it a squeeze "You're trying your best now and that's what's matters"

"LUCY!" Before I can register anything I'm tackled in a hug by Rachel "Uce! Uce!"

I smile and hug her back "El!" We let go and hold up a toy bear from beside me "Ay?"

"O" She motions towards the door "Ina oin ub!"

I go wide eyed and she nods. We quickly start crawling to the club room ignoring the yelling. We laugh as we get closer but then get picked up. I pout as Madison turns me around with a raised eyebrow.

"You think you two are Olympic crawlers huh?" I stop pouting and giggle as she starts tickling me "You two should've stopped"

"I agree" Lucy starts giggling too when Judy starts tickling her as well "You two were supposed to stop when we were yelling to"

"Rry!" I'm full on laughing now as the tickling continues "I iv! I iv!"

"I don't know" Mami looks at momma "Should we let these two go?"

"I think they've learned" Momma and Mami put Lucy and I back on the ground "Let's go"

They open the door and we crawl into the room. It looks a whole lot more calmer than earlier. I smile and make grabby hands at mommy. She looks and smiles before picking me up. I nestle into her and let out a relaxed breath. This is nice.

"Am I needing to tryout?" Tina holds up some sheet music "I can if I need to"

"If you're prepared you can have the floor" Mommy walks to a chair and sits down "Be a good girl from Mommy and listen"

-Tina singing-

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And so you're back

From outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face

I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key

If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

You think I'd crumble?

You think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high and you see me

Somebody new

I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free

Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

You think I'd crumble?

You think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I will survive

Oh

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?

You think I'd crumble?

You think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live

And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I will survive

I will survive

We all clap as Tina takes a bow "I think you're definitely welcome to the club" Momma hands her a card and a pen "Write some nationals song possibilities down"

Tina nods and starts writing on the card. After a few minutes she hands it back to momma and sits down. Momma walks to mom and they start going through the cards. They pull some out and have some conversations.

"We've gone through them all and we've found three that were voted multiple times" Mom looks at the club and smiles "1,2,3,4 by plain white T's, I do by Colbie Caillat, and...Everything by Michael Bublé"

"So those will be looked at for solos" Momma claps and looks at everyone "Spend the time thinking who'd you'd nominate for the solos or how you think you'd do singing one of them!"

"Ahhh!" I get out of my nestled spot and look at Blaine "It's little Rachel!"

"I must say she's adorable" I shyly smile and wave at them "Hey sweetie"

"I!" I yawn and look at mommy "I ired"

"You can take a nap" I put a hand clumsily on the collar of her shirt "Really? Right now?"

I nod and she sighs. I smile as she gets us situated and I latch on when able. This has been the best way to get sleep now. Any other way has been hard.

Life's changing and high school is getting closer to ending. No matter how the rest of this day goes or the rest of the week goes I'm happy to have my family. Life has never been so good to me as it is now.

-Shelby pov-

Rachel slowly in latches as she falls asleep. I smile and fix myself back up. I excuse myself and carry her to Madison's office. I lay her on the sleep mat and smile. She looks so sweet and innocent.

I feel a tug on my leg and turn around. I smile when I see Lucy making grabby hands. I pick her up and then get situated to breastfeed her. It takes a little longer but soon she's out and I lay her next to Rachel. They end up cutely cuddled together and I smile wider.

After a bit the other two girls are laid down by Judy and Madison. We end up talking in the office and watching Emma while she plays. Some days go like this. The glee kids behave themselves and if something goes wrong they come to us. The calm days are always the best days.

At lunch time Maribel brings food for everyone and we get joined by the rest of our family. I smile as the girls wake up to eat and then play together. This little family has been a blessing to me. It used to be just Beth and me.

Now I have all of these people! I never wanna change this for anything. I want this to be my life forever.

Maybe I should put more thought into Judys baby forever plan...
