Protector ch. 2
Santana's POV
I rub the sleep out of my eyes before rolling over to see that it's eight-thirty in the fuckin morning and I have no idea why the hell I'm up so fuckin early but I'm going back to sleep because it's one the rare days that I have off as I'm going to enjoy sleeping in. I rolled back over when my hand touches soft and fluffy to see that it landed on a stuffed lamb as everything from last night comes rushing back to me and it dawned on me that Quinn was no longer in bed with me, making me sit to scan the room to see that she's not in the room either as a cold feeling of dread washes over me.
I push the covers off of me before bolting out of bed to search for the six year old as I curse me for picking up on her leaving sooner and fucking up on the first day of being mother as I was about to check the bathroom when the smell of food wafts in. I rush to the kitchen to find Kurt in a pink apron that I know for sure that I don't have or remember buying with Quinn sitting on the counter watching the fashion designer with a smile and a hungry look on her face before turning to see me standing in the doorway. She hops off of the counter, skipping over towards me with a bright smile and a twinkle in her eyes as she wraps her arms around my waist as the feeling of dread instantly disappears and I sigh in relief, dropping to my knees to wrap my arms around the smaller girl.
"What's wrong?" Quinn asked confused.
"Don't ever disappear like that ever again, Quinn. I was worried that something happened to you while I was asleep" I said taking Quinn's face in my hands.
"But someone was ringing the doorbell and you weren't waking up so I got up to answer it. Kurt said that he knew you"
"Quinn never answer the door without my permission because any weirdo or creep can say that they know me and they could've abducted you without my knowledge. There wouldn't be anything that I could've done about it. Promise me that you'll be careful" I said frowning slightly.
"I… I'm s-sorry, Mami" Quinn said hanging her head.
"It's okay, mija. I'm only telling you this because I care about you and I don't want anything to happen to you"
"What does mija mean?" Quinn asked curious.
"It means daughter in Spanish"
"Oh okay" Quinn said grinning.
I turned to see Kurt looking at me with a raised eyebrow and a confused look on his face saying that I have a lot of explaining to do later because I know that the last thing that he was expecting was a blonde little girl answering my door this morning. The fashion designer and I have been friends since we were in high school even though we had a rocky being because I was bitch to him in freshmen year because he was out of the flannel closet and I wasn't.
I envied Kurt for being comfortable in his own skin to be out and proud, something I was never able to do because I was too much of a coward to do so but once I got over myself, I saw that he was someone that I could trust and be myself with. He and Brittany instantly hit off as he agreed to designed our dresses for prom and his designs were on fleek as we were the center of attention the whole night but we would have been regardless because well we're us and it was the start of a beautiful friendship.
Kurt and I moved to New York after graduation with going into law school and the fashion designer going into obviously fashion design as he has been my rock through the whole thing with Brittany. He had warned me that it was a bad idea to live in the past but I didn't listen to him because I thought that I could fix everything between me and the dancer but I was wrong and it seems to make things more awkward than they were before.
Kurt met Blaine when he went to New York School of Fashion Design who was going to NYADA to become a Broadway star and to be honest, I thought that the boy had used to much hair gel but Kurt liked him. They went out a couple of times before becoming an official couple which I was happy for my friend because he had to go through so much harassment for being himself even with my powers as the head Cheerio and I was happy that he loves also love him in return.
I did make it perfectly clear to Hiar Gel Boy that if he hurts the fashion designer in any way that he will end up face down in the East Hudson river with multiple stab wounds and he rightfully paled at the visual but he did take it to heart, treating him with respect and love. I was Kurt's maid-of-honor or best man or whatever I was at their wedding three years ago and I know that they're living in a posh apartment in Brownstone as the two are discussing expanding their small family by adding a baby but not sure if they want to use a surrogate or look into adoption. The fashion designer looks between me and Quinn with a questioning gaze for the last few minutes and I know that he's trying to figure my relationship between us as I roll my eyes before asking the kid to go into the living room to watch TV.
"Go ahead and ask" I said leaning back into my chair.
"Okay, who's the little girl Santana? Is someone from one of your cases or is there something that you need to tell me?" Kurt asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know about that one stand that me and Brittany had after the Lady GaGa tour" I said shifting in my chair uncomfortably.
"Yeahhh… oh, oh. Dear God, you mean…" Kurt said as his eyes widen in realization.
"She's my daughter, Kurt" I said running my hand through my hair.
"What? How?" Kurt asked trying to grasp the situation.
"What you mean how? You were there when we had to sit through that health class in junior year and you know about my not-so-little friend" I said frowning.
"I know, I know but it's hard to believe that you have a child. A six year old daughter at that. Why are you just now telling me about this? I thought that we were friends"
"We are and I'm trying to wrap my head around this because I literally found out that I have a child last night" I said throwing my hands up in the air.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kurt asked raising an eyebrow.
I explain the whole situation to Kurt and he doesn't interrupt me like he normally does but I'm glad that he lets me get through the whole story as I look up to see that he doesn't know what to make of the story that I told him. I don't know what to make of it my own self but I'm still trying to figure out why Sam waited so long to tell me about Quinn since she's been with him this entire time but I'm gonna get my answers from Trouty Mouth. I looked over my shoulder to see my daughter wrapped in watching an episode of Spongebob and I see the whimsical/childlike side that Brittany used to have when she watch cartoons as she giggles at the sea sponge making I smiled slightly.
"What are you doing to do?" asked Kurt.
"She's my daughter Kurt so naturally I'm going to raise her because that's what Brittany would have want"
"Is it what you want?" Kurt asked raising an eyebrow.
I look back at Quinn and something in me says that I want to be the one that raises this girl as I want to see what kind of woman she grows up be as I'm hoping that I'm making the right decision by my… no our daughter.
"Yeah it's what I want but I'm gonna need your help, Kurt. I don't think that I can do this by myself" I said shaking my head.
"You know that I got your back, San and that little girl's gonna need all the help she can get with you raising her" Kurt said smirking playfully.
"I can wait for you to get your kid so I can mess them up" I said as I looked over my shoulder to look at Quinn. "Hey Q-ball, come meet your Uncle Kurt"
"Coming Mami"
"Oh and Kurt, you're on Uncle duties Wednesday" I said smirking.
"What? Why?" Kurt asked frowning.
"Because I got to looking at schools for Quinn since summer is gonna end soon" I said as Quinn climbs into Kurt's lap. "And the last thing that I need is her falling behind"
"Awww look at you being a good Mami" Kurt said chuckling.
"Oh shut up Lady Hummel"
