-Chapter 99-
-Rachel pov-
I don't know what's been going on these past few days. The moms seem to have a lot on their minds. I mean I was completely forgotten about in the basement last night. I'm still currently down there.
I don't wanna move cause I think something is watching me. I'm trying not to be upset about being forgotten again. But what the hell?! They left me in the dark basement alone!
I wipe a tear that falls away. I sigh and crawl to the stairs. I try to let out another cry they didn't seem to hear last night. When I open my mouth it hurts. My throat has gone dry.
I try to crawl up the stairs more but with blurry vision it's hard. My glasses still aren't here and my white stick is upstairs. I crawl up a few steps before almost falling. I try again and do fall down.
I let out a weak whimper. I hope somebody remembers I'm down here. I don't even know what time it is. I won't be mad...I just want loved and to be found.
Someone please just..just find me.
-Maribel pov-
The girls have been out of it and left me dealing with everything! I have had to make food, change the girls, get chores done, and do some wedding plans! This has been done by me and me alone!
Not to mention there's a feeling like I forgot about something or someone. I check over the keys and then over supplies. I sit in the kitchen going over everything in my head.
I'm close to remembering when there's yelling. I sigh and run upstairs. I roll my eyes when I see the girls crying. The moms are absolutely doing nothing but half-assed assistance.
"That's it!" I push Judy away from Fran "You all need to get some fucking help! Because I am tired of doing everything! Now I know how Shelby felt!"
"Sorry" Madison sighs "We've just been in our own little worlds thinking about the baby idea"
"Baby" It slowly clicks in my head what I forgot "RACHEL!"
I run downstairs and to the basement. I see her laying on the ground, shaking. I pick her up and run back up the stairs. I run her into the office and change her. After that I get adjusted and start breast feeding her.
"W-was she down there all night?" I look at the door way to see everyone. I look directly at Shelby and nod "Oh..oh god"
"Maybe we aren't meant for more" Judy shakes her head and walks away "I need a day off"
"I..I think we all do" Madison walks away pulling out her phone "We can...we can regroup in a bit"
I watch everyone slowly leave but Shelby. She stands in the door way broken. She's been so close to Rachel after the office incident. Now her trying to think over the baby thing and this happens. I can see all the emotions pass through her eyes.
"I did this" Shelby slowly walks up to us and collapses in front of us "I'm so sorry baby girl...I failed you"
"We all did" she looks up at me confused "I forgot too! We all have had parts to play and we need to sit down and discuss"
Shelby nods and slowly stands up. She slowly walks out and I sigh. I rock Rachel in my arms as she feeds. This is not going to be a fun conversation.
-Time skip-
Everyone is sitting in the living room. Abby and Beth are down for naps currently. We've asked the girls to be grown for this. We need to make sure everything is fine. We need to get everything out there.
"Alright" I clap and everyone looks at me "Who want's to go first?"
"Can I?" we all look at Rachel "I think we need to figure out what the hell is happening with you all...We haven't understood why we have been neglected for the past few days"
"That's true" We look at Lucy "We have only had Maribel actually paying attention! What is going on? Are you all done with this?"
"NO!" Judy sighs "We were thinking about having some babies...We just got so caught up with thinking"
"We didn't mean to shut you all out" Shelby sighs "We just wanted to figure things out"
"SO TELL US!" We all look at a standing and angry Santana "Don't treat us like you did before! Talk to us! Tell us we need to be adults and talk!"
I look at the moms who all lower their heads "I agree" I look back at the girls "This hasn't been fair to any of you. How have you each felt?"
"Abandoned" Rachel has a stream of tears fall "I was forgotten in a basement"
"Scared" Lucy sighs "It's like I'm living the past over again"
Santana slowly sits back down "Angry" She glares at the moms "You all are supposed to protect us but where have you been? You have nonstop been pitying yourselves! I mean wha..I'm done"
"No finish that" Santana looks away from them "San?"
"Brittany was depressed when she had to stick with chair more than walk" Santana scoffs "You all got so focused on other things and she took care of the babies! We all secretly did!"
"I thought Sugar and Pamela was helping?" We all look at the two guilty looking girls "What are you hiding?"
"We don't get alone time" Sugar looks away "We used it to make out and things"
"YOU MADE ME WATCH BETH TO MAKE OUT ALONE?!" Fran looks ready to explode "What the hell?! You two can't keep it in your pants enough to wait till I'm at least there?"
"Is everything ok?" We look at the stairwell to see a scared Grace "Sam told me to stay up there but I wanted to check"
"You think you could get Sam to drive you and the girls to the park?" Grace nods "Thank you"
After a few minutes the two come down with the babies. I give them a few 10 bills as they go. I thank them the whole way out. I sit back down after and tension still fills the air.
"So Fran" She looks at me still angry "After hearing this what do you wanna do?"
"Honestly?" I nod and she sighs "Leave them and not look back..It's obvious they don't care"
"We care!" Sugar moves to in front of Fran "We do! We just know you don't like surprise sessions and sometimes you're super into small world!"
"So my comfort is a reason we can't make out?" Fran scoffs and stands up "I need to go"
"Fran!" Sugar and Pamela go to stop her but I hold them back "LET GO!"
"She needs some space" I look Sugar in the eyes "Please"
Sugar sighs "Let's go to the room Pam" Sugar grabs her hand "We are done anyways"
They walk a way slowly "Anyone else?" I look at the girls and notice a body shift "Speak now please"
"I just want to be able to have some days where we can go on dates" The girls look at Rachel surprised "I love doing this but as said in the past..We need to be able to be a couple!"
"Calendar" We all look at Madison "I wanted to set up a calendar!"
"Uh" Judy looks at all of us confused before looking back at Madi "What are you on about?"
"Calendar for dates, chores, birthdays, and all of the important things!" Madison looks at me with her first smile since two days ago "The babies can still happen and I want them but Issues arise when we all get out of order! We all need a calendar system!"
"That may work" Shelby smiles too "We could put everything down! Everyday we look at the fridge so we put it there!"
"You think it'd work?" We look at the girls "It's up to you"
"For Rachel anyhting" Lucy wraps her arm around Rachel "We need more monitors around the house too"
"Good idea" I smile wide "This should've happened so much earlier than now"
Everyone nods "What about the other three?" We all go silent at Brittany's question "Will they be ok?"
"We can't answer that for them" Judy gets up and crouches in front of her "We can only be there and support whatever they choose to do"
"I want them to be ok" Judy pulls Brittany into her "I want us all to finally be ok"
The happiness is gone as Brittany sobs. We all share looks realizing this is just the first step. The first step into figuring out what to do next. What to do better.
I can only hope we make it through together.
