Santana yawned, stretching she sighed she'd been happy snuggled to the bodies next to her, one being Brittany and the other her sister and then the damned alarm went off. Reaching over Quinn to shut off the alarm Santana got poked in the ribs "I'd rather not be smothered to death by your tits."
Chuckling Santana teased looking down at Quinn as she kept herself balanced above the blonde "You're just jealous."
"Jealous or not, I'm not the blonde that would enjoy them in my face." Quinn shoved her little sister off of her getting an 'ooof' from the other girl in the bed with them as Santana landed on top of her.
"Oh." Brittany's arms snaked around Santana's waist holding her in place as Quinn scrambled away from Santana's flailing arms, Santana stopped when she felt Brittany's lips against her shoulder blade, Quinn smirked as the brunette melted. "Good morning." Brittany murmured.
"Is now." Santana relaxed folding her arms over Brittany's.
Still in her pajamas Quinn slipped out of the room locking it behind her, bumping into Mercedes as she did so. "Sleeping?"
"Waking up." Quinn corrected linking her arm with Mercedes's.
"So when are we going to talk about you?" Mercedes asked walking down the stairs to the back entrance of the restaurant.
"I'm getting stronger I promise." Quinn covered a yawn with the back of her hand. "I'm drinking everything I'm given from all our moms and Pierce's soup is pretty good too."
"Not just that, your soul mate, you've met him before and now you're hiding from him." Mercedes sighed. "And how did you even know?"
"Not true," Quinn glared back at the room knowing that it had been Santana that had ratted her out to Mercedes. "I started hiding from him when I first met him, now he's had time to mature so I thought I'd introduce myself."
"Mature?" Mercedes asked confused "When did you meet him?"
"A while ago, one of the last parties San and I went to."
"That was a while ago." Mercedes agreed "So who is he? One of mine, one of yours?" she asked meaning what group of gods did he belong to.
"Norse, he's a god of sexuality." Quinn quietly explained. "He was rather whorish and had a mohawk so I said nothing, obviously, or you would have already known about him."
"Not who I saw you with." Mercedes shook her head. "But then you do sort of go together like Cupid and Psyche."
"How?" Quinn questioned in disbelief..
"They are heart and soul, you and this god are like love and lust, they do go hand in hand as well." Mercedes said before stepping in the kitchen with the others, Quinn headed right for the coffee pot, she was making sure Santana had her morning coffee.
"Brittany said something similar about my parents."
"Do tell." Mercedes slipped next to Quinn who just shook her head, Mercedes knew Quinn would talk to her later about the godly subjects.
"So what are the plans for today?" Millie asked, Quinn held back a laugh seeing Marley's head snap in her mother's direction when Quinn admitted.
"Stealing Marley and Unique to go to the zoo and aquarium." Quinn smirked at the brunette.
"That should be fun." Millie nodded taking the eggs from her daughter's hand "Sun screen and drink lots of water." Millie said starting to crack the eggs on the griddle, the bacon and sausage was already complete as were the hash browns.
"We're leaving right after breakfast." Santana said leaned against Brittany who was leaned against the open door leading from the atrium, inhaling the breakfast smells Santana groaned "Coffee smells terrific."
"It's the bacon." Quinn shook her head.
"Coffee."
"Bacon." Quinn glared.
"Okay why don't we take this out of Millie's kitchen." Mercedes tugged the blonde with her warning in a low voice "Behave or no bacon."
"Rude." Quinn grumped.
"Come on baby, we can start planning." Brittany gave Santana a gentle nudge to get her moving.
"Why this early?" Tina grumbled trudging through the kitchen to follow behind the others.
"We want a full day." Mercedes called out over her shoulder.
"Kill me now." Tina mumbled.
Eyes closed Santana held her mug with both hands inhaling her coffee, eyes closed and chewing Quinn moaned, Brittany sat in between them talking to Millie "This is wonderful Ms. Rose, we need to call my friend Pierce before we leave so you two can talk."
"Any time sweetie." Millie smiled.
"I wish my mom could cook like this." Brittany admitted, it was one of the reasons the dancer had gone looking for food places and found Pierce's "She's really good at microwaving, that's probably why I can't cook either."
"Quinn and Santana have learned a few of my recipes."
"They don't come out the same." Santana said opening her eyes, it was because Millie was blessed by the gods, Quinn and Santana could replicate every meal they came across and make it taste identical to what they had, except Millie and now they knew they wouldn't be able to with Pierce's either. "It's why we send for take out." Quinn nodded in agreement.
"It's better than my Momma's, just don't tell her I said that." Unique pleaded grabbing a piece of toast, the group chuckled and laughed.
"Looky, looky." Quinn watched the door open and close behind the bouncer Shane. "Do we have a zoo buddy?" she asked grinning at Mercedes.
"No," Mercedes stood greeting the larger man with a kiss "he's just joining us for breakfast and he's going to help out Mama Rose today."
"Good morning ma'am, thank you for allowing me to join your breakfast." Shane said taking his place next to Mercedes.
"You're always welcome." Millie smiled.
"So when did you meet Mercedes?" Santana smirked at Mercedes, the goddess had purposely been avoiding Shane questions from the sisters.
"A couple of years ago, I injured my shoulder and was doing rehab when my friends suggested a weekend trip." Shane answered watching Mercedes fill his plate for him.
"Quinn Fabray, that's my sister Santana." Quinn extended her hand to the big man.
"Shane Tinsley." he said gently shaking it. "We heard about the food so we stopped by and that's when I saw her," Shane softly smiled at Mercedes "she was singing with the band."
"She sings beautifully." Quinn agreed with a smile before releasing his hand. "I'd say love at first sight."
"Yea." he nodded accepting his plate from Mercedes giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
While Shane helped, Millie and the twins, Jane and Roderick take all the dishes to the kitchen Mercedes grabbed Quinn by the bicep and pulled her away from the others. "Ow, not fully healed, the nails hurt." Quinn kept pace so the nails didn't dig further in her arm.
"Why did you do it? I told you not to, I told you to save your strength." Quinn knew it was more than that, she hadn't been able to tell before, it was faint but it was there.
"I wanted to know," Quinn admitted rubbing her bicep when Mercedes released it, "but also why didn't you didn't tell us he was like Mike, immortal bloodlines but weak, does he even know his own history?" Quinn asked wanting to know where Shane was from.
"I didn't know, we haven't discussed that." Mercedes admitted.
"I think you should." Mercedes shook her head not understanding "You have to know." Quinn looked at Mercedes confused, the black woman shook her head again "The shock when you touch, the fact that he can't be away from you, the butterflies? Love at first sight? Cedes they're all soul mate signs, I had them with mine it's why I ran."
"I thought I was imagining it," Mercedes softly admitted "because I wanted it to be true."
"That's why you didn't want me to check you, not my strength." Quinn gave a small smile, taking Mercedes hand she gave it a squeeze but did not push to try and read her because she was sure the other goddess would deck her "I wouldn't lie to my favorite non Greek, when we leave you two need to have a chat, let me know if you need help." Mercedes nodded, shooting Shane a smile when he looked in her direction. "I think he wants kisses before we leave." Quinn said letting Mercedes hand go before stepping back and making kissing noises at her.
Chuckling Mercedes quipped "And yes, it was about your strength jackass, I worry about you pushing yourself, I don't want to be the one explaining to your Momma what happened especially if it's my fault."
"Coward." Quinn chuckled.
"Am not, it's self preservation bitch, the Greeks can get nasty when something happens to one of there own." Mercedes reminded gesturing to Quinn who rolled her eyes. "Plus your mom likes me and I'd prefer to keep it that way."
"You need to find out what he is, I can read Brittany and Mike because they are Muse which is part Titan, so they are of the immortal bloodline, I learned early on I can read Titans and demi gods." Quinn said.
"Did you ever think the ones you couldn't read were simply because they were blocking you?" Mercedes asked. "Or because they were the first generation."
"Umm no." Quinn eyed her sister.
"You ever think she was blocking you because she was afraid?" Mercedes asked walking away, Quinn frowned, she hadn't thought of that.
"Everything okay?" Santana asked slightly worried.
"Fine." Quinn promised "She was mad, I read Shane." Quinn hadn't been prepared for the smack to the back of her head.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Santana hissed.
"Santana!" Millie was surprised by the hit.
"Sorry," Santana called out explaining to the woman "Quinn is pushing herself and doing things she's not supposed to be doing."
"Quinn!"
Quinn cringed she hated hearing the disappointment in Millie's voice. "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
"Do you want to spend the rest of your trip with me? In the kitchen, on a stool?" Millie frowned.
"I mean really that doesn't sound like a bad thing." Quinn admitted.
"There will be no snacking, no treats of any kind." Millie pointed at the blonde goddess.
"In that case, no." Quinn shook her head, Santana smirked.
