"Yeah, where is he?"

"Jail"

There were only a few times in life where Santana was left without words. Most of them were because she was happy, but this one scared the hell out of her.

"W-w-wha-, I-I" Santana muttered unintelligible words. She had her mouth opened, but no words could come out.

"You don't have to say anything, just let me talk. And close your mouth, a bug could go in" Quinn said, and Santana did as she told her. "Okay, I know you have a million questions, but just let me talk" she waited for confirmation from Santana, the brunette just nodded. "Okay, so you know Puck was discharged from the military three years ago. He was dishonorably discharged. He shot one of his partners. They could have pressed charges, but they didn't. We left for Chicago because he got a 'job'" she said the last word with air bunnies "He worked all day, and was more aggressive and angry, but in the mornings he looked so tired, he never slept" the more Quinn talked, the more afraid Santana was. She was afraid she already knew what had happened. "I thought he had PTSD, so I suggested some therapy. He was mad, he kept saying he was okay, but I knew he wasn't. That was the first time he hit me" Santana gasped at that, and then clenched her jaw. "I know it's bad. That happened more times, then he verbally abused me. I thought I had to do it for my children, as long as he didn't do anything to them. I didn't know…" Quinn was on the verge of tears again.

"Come here" Santana enveloped her in her arms. The blonde broke down in her arms. "You don't have to tell me"

"I want to, I need to" Quinn mumbled from the brunette's chest. "He never hit them, but he did insult them. I swore I would never let my children live what I lived. One day, I got home late, when I entered the house, I found James in a corner crying, and then Puck punching Karolina. That's when I kicked him out. Karolina told me it was the first time he had done that, but I was still horrified, I still am. It was my fault, it all is. Some days later the police found him and his drug cartel. That was the job he had in Chicago. He sold drugs"

"Shit"

"And then I filed for divorced and changed my name back. The kids asked me too, so we did it. And today he called and told me he was fighting for custody. It doesn't make sense, I mean he's in jail. And he wants money"

"He can fight for some type of involvement in the kids life. But if you want you can take it to court. He would lose easily. And with charges of abuse, and children abuse, he couldn't get near Karolina or James ever again" Quinn stayed silent to that. "You did press charges, right?" She felt Quinn shake her head in her chest. "That's not good"

"What do you mean?" Quinn asked worriedly.

"I mean, social services could take the kids away" Santana said seriously. "But they're not going to. We can fight this. You need to press charges, and the kids need to declare too. We can protect you from the press, especially since Puckerman was in the Air Force, they wouldn't want anything to ruin their reputation" Quinn looked like she was about to have a panic attack. "Okay, Quinn, you need to calm down" Santana grabbed her by the shoulders and looked at her directly in her eyes. "It's all going to be okay, it's not too late. And I'm going to get you the best lawyer, and I'm going to be a consultant. It's all going to be okay"

"I fucked up, I'm fucking them up"

"You're not. Quinn, you are the best mother there is, you care so much about them. We can't protect them from everything, and maybe we both failed in some things, but we can always be there when they break, and help them to cope with things. And now you're not alone. You have me and all of the crazy glee kids. And your kids have my kids, and all of the other kids. We're going to fix this, together" She said with a sweet voice.

"How can you be so amazing?" Quinn asked.

"It's an ability I was born with" Santana said cockily, but blushing.

"You are a dork" the blonde cupped Santana's cheeks with her hands.

"Yeah, but I'm your dork"

"Shut up" Quinn said, getting closer to her.

"Okay" the brunette said tilting her head. They were so close to each other. Santana's hands came to the blonde's waist. Their lips were almost touching. Their gazes changed from each other's eyes and lips. They don't know who made the move first, but when their lips met, they felt like floating. They hadn't kissed each other since that morning after Valentine's day. The coordination was perfect, the kiss wasn't awkward. It wasn't a long kiss, it was sweet and perfect for the moment. When they separated they just connected their foreheads, and looked at each other's eyes. "If I remember right, you owe me a date"

"I said that?"

"Yeah you did. So now, you will order some Chinese and I will call the kids to see how they're doing. And I'll even let you choose the movie"

"Okay" Quinn pecked her lips before getting up. She left to order the food. Meanwhile Santana called Valerie to see how they were doing.

"You really own all of these comics and books?" Karolina asked curiously.

"Yeah, I love superheroes. And sci-fi and fantasy. I'm kind of a nerd. Don't tell anyone" Valerie responded.

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me" the blonde said, laughing.

"Hey, stop laughing. It's my darkest secret" the blonde just laughed harder. Valerie was just happy that she made her smile, and hopefully she made her forget for a little bit. "I'm sure you have some guilty pleasures"

"This is your guilty pleasure?"

"Yeah, kind of. It's not guilty, but it's secret. I'm supposed to be badass"

"If you want me to stop laughing, stop saying things like that"

"Okay, stop making fun of me. I'm sure you have a secret hobby or whatever"

"I do actually. I draw"

"You draw?"

"Yeah, I like draw people and stuff" Karolina shrugged.

"Stuff?"

"Yeah, stuff"

"Nice" the brunette said, and the phone started ringing. "Thats my mom, I have to answer. I'll be back in a sec, make yourself at home" Karolina just nodded. Valerie left the room and answered. "Hey mami"

"Hey kid, everything all right?"

"Yeah, Kar's all right, I can hear James laughing so I'm going to assume he's okay too. I think they should stay the night. How's Quinn?"

"She's okay too. I'm going to stay here, and eat here, so you are in charge of the food there. No pizza"

"What? You gonna stay over there? What are you on a date or something?" Santana didn't respond. "You are on a date. Okay, I can cook something"

"Thanks kid. If anything happens, anything happens, you call me. I mean it" Santana said with a stern voice.

"Okay, will do" Valrie finished the call and went back to her room. She found Karolina laughing hysterically on the bed. "What are you laughing about?"

"You have scooby doo comics, you have the whole collection" She said while laughing. Valerie just blushed

"They're really cool, I swear" the blonde just laughed harder. "You're awful"

"Everything okay?" Quinn asked, coming back into the room.

"Yeah, they're all right"

"Okay, good"

"Stop worrying, will you?" Santana came closer to the blonde and grabbed her by the waist. "I asked Val to call if anything happens. I trust she will"

"Sometimes you trust her too much"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she is just a kid too. Let her be one from time to time"

"I let her be a kid"

"I know, and I'm not trying to step into your parenting. But Val thinks she should be a grownup all the time, she isn't. You should tell her she can live like a kid, nothing bad will happen" Santana just gulped.

"You're right, I should"

"Come on, let's watch the movie" Quinn said, trying to change the subject.

"What did you choose?" Santana asked, laying on the couch.

"A scary one" Quinn said, excited. She layed on top of Santana, and hugged her.

"You are awful"

"Yeah, but you adore me" Quinn kissed her cheek.

"I do" Santana groaned jokingly, but pecked her lips.

They just layed on the couch, watching the movie and eating the take out. They cuddled a lot. They both needed it that day. They both ended up asleep on the couch. Santana woke up in the middle of the night because her arm was numb. She tried getting up, but Quinn just held her tighter.

"Sweetie, my arm is numb"

"Shhh" Quinn just said, trying to go back to sleep.

"C'mere" Santana mumbled. She carried Quinn bridal style to the bed, and laid her there. She kissed her forehead, and laid next to her, cuddling into her.

"Goodnight princess" Santana said sleepily. Quinn just muttered something unintelligible.
