Santana Lopez
My head was so heavy when I woke up in that white room, my back was burning a little and an excruciating pain was finishing me off, but at some point this pain would have to stop, even if it was on the basis of very strong medication. My eyes were heavy, they were still getting used to the clarity of the room, but that was the least of my worries at that moment. I can say that I am in a hospital, but I cannot remember clearly how I ended up in this dull little place.
The walls are all white, really, but this is so tacky and gives me a sense of despair instead of a sense of calm or hope. The walls could be green, yellow, blue or even red, but people have such bad fucking taste.
Brittany was stretched out on a small couch in the corner of the hospital room and Rachel was leaning against the window with her head resting on one hand and the other resting on her pregnant belly. My little smile was imminent as my best friend and my niece were fine and thanks to a small sacrifice I made to save them.
-Is it just me or have you gotten fatter? -I asked playfully and Rachel turned around.
-You're awake, San! -Rachel came running towards me, she hugged me tightly and the footsteps woke up my girlfriend. Brittany sat up a little dazed.
-Your tummy is poking me, let's stop, Berry! -I joked and returned the hug.
-You can blame your niece for this big belly that keeps poking people. -She joked.
-Hey, you can't blame my little princess, it's not her fault if you two weren't responsible enough to use a simple condom, you and Quinn are pretty dumb, you know. -I made one of my famous snide comments and Rachel blushed like a little tomato. -My niece is going to be very spoiled, I will always protect her from human evil!
-Stop embarrassing Rachel, Sammy! -Brittany scolded me, she sat down next to me to give me a tight but loving hug and she kissed my lips with all the passion to try to show all our love in that simple gesture.
-I think I'll take a few shots more often... -I joked and Brittany hit my arm.
-Bobby! -She kissed me again. -I'm glad you woke up. -She smiled and I melted.
-You're going to give me diabetes! -Rachel joked and caressed my belly. -Thank you!
-Stop thanking me, I know I'm a wonderful person, you can buy me dinner later, just to formally thank me, you know? -I asked suggestively and my best friend laughed heartily and agreed. -Uh, where's Barbie? -I asked awkwardly at Quinn's absence from my room. -She's like a dog without an owner, running after Berry everywhere, and she's not here right now. -I asked with concern. -Don't tell me that... -My eyes were starting to water at the thought.
Stephanny was fucking crazy and might as well have shot all my friends after she hit me with the damn shot that was meant for Rachel and my dear niece. My friend could be dead and that thought hurts.
-Quinn is fine, she stayed at the reception. -Brittany answered the question and calmed me down.
-And why didn't she come in with you guys to wait for the princess here to wake up? -I asked with my arms crossed in front of my body and both of them laughed heartily.
-Rachel doesn't want to talk to Quinn, she doesn't even want to see her at the moment, so I was in charge of taking care of her hard head, since she was in a state of shock and it was bothering Beth. -Brittany commented naturally and I frowned.
-Ah... -Murmured, but Brittany continued before I could say anything else.
-Can you believe she was so upset that she didn't want to take off those bloodstained clothes and put on these nice clean ones, she also didn't want to eat or drink anything and completely forgot about our little niece's existence? -I was in a rage.
-WHAT? -I tried to get up, but I felt an unbearable pain in my back.
-You shouldn't make any sudden movements! -Rachel scolded me and forced me to lie down on that uncomfortable hospital bed. -You must rest for a few days and stay out of trouble, do you hear? -He asked with a raised eyebrow.
-One day I'll get out of this bed and this hospital, on that day I recommend that you stay about five meters away from me, because I'm going to slap your head and I'll only stop when they assure me that you have head trauma and everything will be so that you learn not to put the health of my goddaughter at risk, dwarf! -He was speaking seriously, but the two of them found it funny, as they started to laugh. -Have you guys heard from Christopher or that slut Stephanny? -I asked and sat down.
-Christopher couldn't resist his injuries and died on the spot, but Stephanny is going through a delicate surgery in one of these hospital rooms. -Britt commented and I gave a satisfied smile when I found out that the bastard had died on the spot and in that filthy place. Oh, I know it's wrong, but this son of a bitch asked for this to happen!
-I hope the bitch doesn't survive the surgery, but if she does, I will gladly kill her and send her to the nearest cemetery and I won't think twice about it! -I commented.
-Don't say such horrible things, Sammy! -Brittany scolded me.
-She'll go to prison if she survives, I guarantee she'll suffer a lot there, San. -Rach said.
I rolled my eyes, but agreed with both of them as I got into bed and stared at the white ceiling with a light that was at the end of its life, as it was starting to flicker. Brittany sent a message to our friends at the front desk to come see me.
My ribs are hurting and I feel my skin burning the where I took the shot, I will need some pain killers to ease this simmering pain, but I will ask a nurse later. Right now I just want to enjoy my life, love my girlfriend and pick up my best friend while I stand by her side and make sure my niece is born well and will be spoiled by the wonderful auntie she will have. In this case, it's me.
-You're awake! -Finn came in with a balloon with a drawing of an elephant and flowers.
-I thought you were dead, Satan! -Puck pinned me and I gave him the finger.
-Where's Quinn? -I was surprised the blonde didn't come in with my friends. -She's going to have to change the baby's name to honor me, Santana Berry-Fabray, sounds perfect, doesn't it?
Everyone present laughed at my joke, but the laughter was short-lived.
-She was talking to Stephanny's parents. -Finn commented and Rachel stared at him.
-Stephanny didn't make it through surgery and her parents just arrived. -Puck remarked.
-Why did Quinn keep talking to them? -I asked, a little frightened and angry.
-Apparently, they believe that Quinn is still Stephanny's girlfriend, so she stayed to try to work around the situation and pay her respects to the family. -Puck added.
-Of course she stayed! -Rachel sneered.
-Rachel, she was just... -Finn tried to deflect the situation.
-They were girlfriends, the perfect little couple, Finn! -Rachel sighed as she spoke. -Of course Quinn stayed together with Stephanny's parents, she'll console them for their loss, but she won't disprove the story, since it would destroy their daughter's perfect image!
-Rachel... -I tried to say something, but my friend was already getting her things.
-Quinn will forget about my existence and her daughter's existence for this! -She said.
Rachel left the room without letting us say anything for or against Quinn.
Rachel walked down the hall in a blink of an eye, she was very angry, she walked past the front desk, she didn't speak to any of her friends or her own parents.
The brunette's gaze was focused on Quinn who was talking to a couple a little further away from the others, she reached over and touched Quinn's shoulders gently.
-Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Durand this is my... -She didn't finish, as she received a slap in the face.
Rachel turned away from the girl who was staring at her in shock and left the hospital in tears, she got into her car, left the place and didn't look at the big building.
-Are you all right, dear? -Mrs. Durand asked a bewildered Quinn.
-Who was that woman? -Mr. Durand asked, and the blonde came back to reality.
-She's my girlfriend, the love of my life, and the mother of my daughter. -he commented.
The couple offered her a sincere smile and Quinn came to say goodbye to go after Rach.
Rachel Berry
I drove like crazy through the roads of Lima, I just wanted to get home and take a good shower, I need to rest my body a little and now that Santana is out of danger I can do that in peace. I have to point out that I am a nervous wreck and Beth is very agitated today. Probably from the strong emotions of this day.
I am upset with Quinn, she should not be talking to that bitch's parents, not after that damn attack that could cost me my life or our baby's life.
Upon arriving at my house I parked my parents' car anyway in the garage, went into my bedroom to get a comfortable outfit and went into my bathroom to take a long, relaxing shower while letting my tears fall. My bed was calling to me, I lay down and settled between the pillows, Beth was kicking just below my belly button and I smiled as I stroked my belly.
-Be calm mommy is here with you. -I whispered and the movements calmed down.
-Your mother is here too. -I heard Quinn's voice and found her standing in my doorway. -Your parents gave me the keys, because I need to talk to you and I can't wait!
-I don't want to talk to you! -I said as I hugged my round belly.
-What have I done? -Quinn asked as he walked into my room and approached me.
-You dated her! -I started to cry again and again Beth stirred.
-That happened a long time ago... -I didn't allow Quinn to finish speaking.
-Then you talk to those people as if their daughter didn't put your own daughter's life at risk, I don't give a shit about myself, but, you could have an ounce of consideration for our little girl, because her life, a life that hasn't even begun yet, has been threatened by a psychopath! -I shouted angrily and hugged the body.
-They came to see me to find out what happened to their daughter, because that... bitch... told her parents that she was coming to Lima to spend some time with me, because, according to her, we had been in a serious relationship for a few days and... -I interrupted.
-I guarantee that you agreed with her story! -I accused with my debauched tone.
-No, I didn't agree with the story, I would never do such a thing, I just told them the truth and of course they were devastated by their daughter's lies, but I couldn't lie, I couldn't keep up Stephanny's good image to her parents and I couldn't pretend to be sad about that girl's death! -Quinn commented and I stared at her.
-Why? -I asked, not believing her words. -Why didn't you follow the lie?
-Because my real girlfriend was in that hospital, she is carrying my little girl and it would be a tremendous injustice to both of us to participate in this lie! -She answered my question with all sincerity. -When you touched my shoulder, I was about to introduce you as my girlfriend, but you slapped me and left!
-So, you didn't sleep with me just for fun and take over our daughter out of obligation?
-OF COURSE NOT! -Quinn held my face between his hands. -Where did that come from?
-I started thinking a lot of things when I found out that you were talking to them.
-Rachel, I love you, making love to you that night was the best thing that ever happened to me, and our daughter is the most precious thing in my life! -He commented. -I'm sorry I got you into this and I'm sorry I talked to those two, okay?
-I love you and you're excused. -I mumbled. -I'm sorry too... I...
-Come here, baby. -Quinn pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my head.
We were lost in that moment so ours, we had just made up, we needed to celebrate somehow and I knew the most pleasurable way to celebrate with Quinn.
I kissed her tenderly and with all the love in the world as I lay down on my bed and pulled her onto my small body. Her hands were resting on the side of my head to support her body and not throw her weight on top of me.
-Were my parents in the hospital? -I asked between kisses.
-They were... -Quinn lowered his kisses to my neck.
-Make love to me, Quinn? -I asked, and she smiled.
-With pleasure! -She attacked my lips again.
