Chapter 18

The officer in the cabin moved cautiously toward where Santana and Brody had fallen still. Daniel stood with a now struggling Teddy and went through the curtain and down the steps not wanting him to see whatever was happening or be in harm's way. Teddy pushed against him trying to get down crying out for Santana as another officer ushered them into a car.

Back at the house Rachel stood at the living room window looking out into the darkness watching for Santana. "It's been too long Will. They should have been back by now or I should have at least gotten a call from her. What if they're hurt or worse?" She cried trying her hardest to stay calm as she held their sleeping baby girl in her arms.

Will walked up behind her placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "They'll be here soon honey. Ana would never let anything bad happen to him and Daniel will watch her back." He tried to reassure her but he was just as worried. Not only was one of the women he now considered his sister and his nephew in danger but so was his husband.

Rachel just leaned back into him. She was grateful for his comfort and knew he was worried sick too. She looked over to where Ely was sleeping on her couch and smiled slightly. She sighed, thinking about the ramifications of all that was going on. Will didn't try to question her too much about what was happening. He heard her explaining to the police about being in witness protection and why but other than asking her what their real names were he hadn't pried any further.

She knew that no matter what happened from this moment on that she wanted to forever remain in contact with the two men and their son who had so quickly become a part of their family. She only hoped they felt the same now that the truth was coming out. Before she could think any more about it she stiffened as she saw headlights turning in the drive. Sharing a look with Will they rushed out on the porch.

A car they didn't recognize came to a stop and Will breathed a sigh of relief as Daniel stepped out. Seconds later Teddy was out and running toward Rachel calling out for her. She turned toward Will who quickly took the baby then ran down the steps and to her boy scooping him up in her arms.

"Oh my baby, are you ok?" She asked while holding him tight. "You're not hurt are you?"

Teddy clung just as tightly to her as tears ran down his face. "I'm ok. I was really scared until Mami came and saved me."

At this Rachel looked up toward the car and frowned looking back at the boy in her arms. "Where's Mami Teddy?" She asked slightly panicked.

"I'm right here baby," Santana's voice causes Rachel's head to whip back around toward the car as she started to climb out of the car.

Rachel put Teddy down grabbing his hand as they rushed over to her. She was now being helped out of the car by Daniel. "Oh god, are you alright honey? What happened, why aren't you at the hospital?" She gasped seeing her covered in blood.

Santana quickly pulled her in. "It's not mine, I'm ok. I'm probably going to have a massive bruise on my back where I was slammed into a set of seats but I'm ok." She leaned down and kissed her passionately then rested their foreheads together. "I got him. I brought our boy home safe."

Rachel just sobbed slightly picking Teddy back up and hugging him between them, clinging to them both. Will came over and handed Santana the baby and she sighed in contentment at having her family whole again. After just holding each other close for a few minutes Rachel pulled back with Teddy still in her arms and grabbed Santana's hand. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up and get some rest. Agent Carlson and Donovan are on their way. They'll be here in a few hours."

Santana nodded holding Rosie tighter. "Sounds good but I want us all to lie in our bed to take a nap together until they get here. I just need us all together."

Rachel chuckled pulling her up the porch steps, "If you think I want any of you out of my sight anytime soon you're crazy."

Once in the house Will stepped up to them hugging Santana close, mindful of the baby but needing to hold her for just a moment. "I'm so glad you're all ok. Why don't you let me keep Rosie and Teddy with me down here while Mar-Rachel helps you get cleaned up? Daniel can grab them some clean jammies from upstairs and I'll have them ready for you when you get done."

Santana shared a look with Rachel then smiled, "Thank you that would be awesome. We won't be that long I just need to get this shit off of me and talk to my wife for a minute." She looked down to Teddy who was now clinging to her leg. "Can you go with Will and Daniel for a little bit Mijo? Mami needs to take a shower and needs mama's help for a bit. I'll come right down when I'm done and get you so we can take a nap on our bed together."

He looked over to Will and Daniel then nodded to Santana. "Ok Mami, I love you."

Santana leaned down and kissed his head softly while hugging him close with her free arm. "I love you too Mijo, so, so much."

With that he ran over and jumped into Daniels arms laying his head on the man's shoulder and watched as Santana handed Will the baby, kissing her head lightly. They then ascended the stairs hand in hand.

Rachel pulled Santana into their bedroom, through to the bathroom and started the water for her shower. She than turned to Santana to help her unbutton her shirt but couldn't keep her hands from shaking. "I'm sorry I just…"

Santana grabbed her hands and pulled her close to look into her eyes. "Hey stop, we're all ok baby. Everything's ok now."

"It's not ok. I almost lost all of you tonight. It's not ok, look at you." She's started to tremble uncontrollably and shook her head looking at Santana's clothes.

Santana quickly pulled her shirt and bra over her head in one swift motion throwing them behind her out of sight. She yanked off her pants then pulled Rachel back to her kissing her, holding her close. "I'm right here. I'm ok. The kids are right downstairs with the guys. They're ok. We're all ok. Just breathe baby."

Rachel leaned into her on a sob and took her lips savagely. The fear running through her body finally released some as she devoured her wife. "You're ok… you're here." She said between kisses. "I need you all here."

Santana grabbed Rachel's shirt ripping it off her body then quickly removed her pants and both of their underclothing. She opened the shower door and pushed Rachel backwards guiding her in. "You have us… We are right here."

As they continued to kiss, the water ran down their bodies and the blood washed away. Neither of them noticed or cared, they were so wrapped up in each other. Santana pinned Rachel to the shower wall and quickly ran her hand down between them cupping her. "I'm here baby, can you feel me?"

Rachel threw her head back and moaned. "Oh god, yes I feel you."

With a nod Santana slowly pushed two fingers inside moving gently within her. "I'm here."

Rachel writhed in her arms panting. "You're here… You're mine… God Ana harder..."

Wasting no time Santana started thrusting deeply and roughly into her curling her fingers on the out stroke like she knew drives her wild. "I'm yours… I'm here… I love you so much Rachel…" she said as she slammed into her.

She's totally beside herself in the feelings coursing through her. She's pushed harder and harder until all she can do is cling to Santana and she totally comes apart screaming her name.

Santana collapsed into her panting holding her as she came down and was totally stunned when Rachel quickly turned the tables pinning her to the wall instead. "Mine," she growled moving her hand down to Santana's core pushing in quickly. "Cum for me love, I need to feel you come apart in my arms. I just need to feel you, God I love you so much Ana."

Santana was beyond speech now and just threw her head back on a moan, her hips pistoning to the rhythm Rachel has built up within her. Rachel quickly kissed her lips before leaning down to take a breast into her mouth suckling harshly. The dual sensations of Rachel's hand and mouth send Santana over the edge completely.

"OH GOD RACHEL!" she cried out as they collapsed together just letting the water continue to run down their bodies as they calmed.

After a few minutes of just holding each other Rachel stirred reaching over to grab some soap and started to lovingly wash Santana's body. She reverently cleansed her until she was one hundred percent sure that every drop of blood had been removed from her body. Once they dried each other off they moved into the bedroom where they dressed quickly then after a devastatingly slow and tender kiss they headed back downstairs to get their children.

They grabbed both kids, ignoring the smirks from their friends. Santana cleared her throat looking toward the loveseat at a passed out Ely. "That couch is a pull out and is really comfortable if you guys want to crash for a bit. We're going to sleep for a few hours until the agents get here."

Daniel nodded with a smile. "That actually sounds great. I think we could all use a couple of hours of sleep."

They all shared a hug and Santana, Rachel and the kids headed back upstairs. Santana settled on the bed cradling Rosie close with Teddy curling into Rachel side beside them. Leaning over the kids they shared a sweet kiss and settled in to sleep, content to just be together and safe once more.

A/N: Ok my lovelies here it is. Santana is alive and well and the little family is reunited once more. Now we wait to see what the agents want to do next.
