-Chapter 4-

-Rachel pov-

I have been sitting on the couch watching mom go crazy. It has been fun to watch honestly. I am just sucking my paci and watching as she struggles to build a gate. I giggle when she falls with the gates again.

"This is funny to you huh?" I giggle again and she smiles "You are amazing baby girl"

I smile around my pacifier and babble. I have been trying to talk but it will not come out in words. This slip has been the biggest one. Oh hey blues clues is back on!

I watch the show and let out a small yawn. I start to relax when my stomach gurgles. My eyes shoot wide and I look for a nonexistent mom. Oh god this is not going to be good.

I try to stand but end up falling off the couch. There is a knock at the door and as I crawl away I hear footsteps. I get picked up and placed back down on the couch. I whimper as mom walks away.

I need to get to that bathroom! I roll of the couch again as she opens the front door. I crawl as fast as I can toward the bathroom. I need to go so bad right now!

I am about to push on the door when I hear a throat clear. That throat clearing sounded so familiar. I have heard everyday for years. I tense and slowly turn around.

"Little one's so not use the toilet" I pout and she raises a eyebrow "If you can say a complete sentence then you can use it"

I try but nothing comes out of my mouth. She picks me up and walks me back into the living room. Mom looks relieved to see me again. I get sat down on her lap but the movement causes another one.

"Alright so while that is happening I think we should discuss this" Mom nods and I feel tears forming as I pee myself "Look Rachel you just found out yesterday you are about like a baby"

"I have not talked to her about the regression" I look up at mom and sniffle "You are ok baby girl"

"Rach do you remember britt and me in the office?" I nod and sniffle again as the waterfall dies down "What if I told you that it was normal? What if I told you Britt wears pull-ups all day!"

"Really?" Santana nods and I look up at mom "Bu..can big Rachel come out?"

I try but shake my head. I am to scared to try anything right now. I do not want Santana to make fun of me. She could post a picture and I would be dead.

"It is ok Rach" Santana cups my face with a smile "We got you"

"I...I am scared of being abandoned again" Santana smiles but I can feel mom tense "I am scared of being laughed at, humiliated, and all of the other bullying...I finally feel safe and I know that I was in the wrong partially! But I was trying to protect myself! I have had no one since five and no one tries to understand me! No one tries to even care about my life!"

"So you would want to be treated like an infant?" I think about it for a minute before nodding "So I brought something's but I need to be sure of something ok? Is this a aging thing or protection and help thing?"

"What is the difference?" I look at mom who seems confused too "Santana?"

She smiles and pats my head "Aging means on your birthday your regression age will go up to" Santana walks over and grabs her bag "Protection or helping means you do this to help get better or for trauma"

"So if I wanted to stay like this I could?" Snatana nods and I look up to Shelby "Would you...can I?"

"You can do whatever you would like" Mom kisses my forehead and hugs me "You are my princess no matter what"

"Helping and protective along with some enjoyment" Santana nods with a small smile and brings the bag over "What is in that?"

"Well this is the things you will have to get used to" Santana looks past me to mom "You will have to do this"

"B-but I have never done a diaper before" I start to whimper and my pacifier gets placed in my mouth "I have done dolls but that is it"

"I can show you" Mom nods and soon I am laying down while Santana removes my pants "These panties are going to have to be thrown away"

I sniffle as tears start to form. My stomach is grumbling but it is in pain. I feel my bottom lip quivers and see mom start to panic. Her panic is ready to set me off.

"What is wrong?" Mom starts to move in front of Santana and my panic raises more "What is wrong Santana?"

"Alright step back!" Santana pulls me close to her body and sways me till I calm down "Shelby go pack a bag for yourself and Rachel please"

"A bag?" Santana nods as she lays me back down "What for?"

"You two need to stay with Britt and I for a little while" Santana pushes two fingers on my bladder and puts a little pressure down "It will be ok baby"

I whimper as some tears fall down my face. She massages my stomach and soon I start to pee. After I am done she removes the pantie and slides a diaper on. She wipes me and tapes me up.

My biggest tormentor is taking care of me like a mom. I feel oddly safe with her right now. I cuddle into her side while mom packs somethings. My stomach rumbles as mom comes out with our bags.

"Shelby could you drive?" Mom nods and Santana looks down at me "You also have a choice to make and it will be easy ok? Would you like to be breastfed or bottle?"

I look down at her chest and over to mom. Mom smiles and gives a nod. I look to Santana and grab her shirt. She chuckles and picks me up.

She adjusts to breastfeed me as we head outside. Mom packs the car while Santana gets us into the back. I start suckling and feel my eyes getting droopy. This is going to be a nice little nap.

Maybe I will wake up when we get to Santanas house.

-Quinn pov-

"I kicked your father out of the house and have a restraining order against him" I hear my mom sigh on the other side of the phone "He is taking back the house since it is under his name so I have to leave"

"The Lopez's have enough space" I sigh and look over at Maribel "Here or there?"

"Well that depends on our guests coming" I nod and sigh again "It will be ok Mija"

"Do not worry about it if it is too much ok?" I can hear the hurt in my moms voice "I kicked you out first and..I am sorry I should go"

"Come here mom" I look at Maribel who is holding back a smile "I need my mom in my life for when the little one is born"

"Really?" She sniffles and I can hear the hope return "I will be on my way baby!"

She hangs up and I take a deep breath "It will be fine Mija" I look at Daniel as he helps britt walk in "Your mom seems to truly be turning around"

"Yeah" The front door is soon opening up and I chuckle "That was quick"

"Hey" I turn to see it is Rachel, Shelby, and Santana "Is there somewhere we can place Rachel?"

"I have the crib ready" Maribel stands up with a smile "Follow me Shelby"

"Thank you" Shelby starts walking behind Maribel "I just want to get this all right"

"So Rachel and Shelby are here?" Santana nods and pulls Brittany into her lap "Hear from your mom?"

"She's coming to stay" Santana nods and let's Brittany cuddle into her side "Is that ok?"

"We bought this house for people who need it" Daniel takes a sip of his coffee "Anyone is welcome"

I nod with a smile as I look at my friends. They seem so at peace. This pregnancy will be easier with everyone here on my side. Having my mom will be a nice addition too.

I can only hope that everything goes up from here.
