-Day 14-
-Rachel pov-
Since waking up today I have been spending the day with Beth. It has been non stop with her. I have fed her and changed her. I do not understand this day today.
I figured I was going to be with my dads. I was kind of banking on it today. Instead I am with a baby in my living room. She is playing with blocks and looking so innocent.
"You know I hated you so much" She looks up at me as she chews on a block "You came from Quinn, you stole my mom, and everyone seemed to push my problems aside for you...I tried to make your mom my mom and your birth mom almost became my friend but why would she want to be? I mean I have ruined her life a few different times"
I look at the babbling baby and sigh. I am letting my soul out to a baby. I groan and lay down on the couch. I am about to just read when a block taps me.
I look over and see Beth smiling. She has a block in her hand. She wants to have me play with her I think. I grab the block and I see the drama flare in her eyes. What the hell is she going to do?
"AHHBAGH!" She sits and scoots to another long block "ALLAGUBG klahk slodpn!"
"What are you babbling about?" She gives me a look to rival Quinn's and I stand up "Aye, aye captain! I shall set sail!"
She smiles and starts babbling again. I move and pretend to be driving the boat. She moves around and I smile at her seemingly swaying. She has been raised in the most dramatic household probably.
I frown thinking about being raised by my mom. I love my dads but they get busy sometimes. They have had to go and take trips before. They are trying hard to stay and be better dads now.
I stop pretending and sit back. This girl is laughing and moving away. She probably has forgotten what I even said. She probably has no idea what I am saying.
"I wanted to die that day" She does not stop playing and I go on "I wanted to die when she turned me away...that day when we sang poker face I was so scared of what was going to happen when I was alone. I got home and thought of bad things..I almost did some bad things. I just...I had no idea what I had to do to make her want to love me! I still have no idea what to do to make people love me...is it so hard to be loved?"
"Alright we are talking about this" I jump and turn to see Quinn holding a baby monitor "Shelby is calming down and your dads are talking to a therapist of yours...I never knew I made your life so bad you needed one"
"She lived with us for a bit" I look at Beth and ask the question on the top of my head "What are the Lopez's doing?"
"Keeping Santana from killing me and coddling you" I smile a little and Quinn makes me face her "You are special Berry...you know you sang a song once to remind me I had someone with me..I think it is time to finally repay that favor"
-Quinn singing-
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
If you're tossin' and you're turnin'
And you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Every day I will remind you, oh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, yeah, yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye
You know...
You can count on me like 1, 2, 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it
I can count on you like 4, 3, 2
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
You can count on me, 'cause I can count on you
"I want to be your friend more than your mom" I chuckle and she smiles "I finally got you to chuckle from something I said"
"QUINN FUCKING FABRAY!" I stand between Santana and Quinn "I am going to murder you! You are so fucking dead!"
"ARHLLGI!" We all look at Beth who seems to be getting frustrated "Ffjgig...flsgjsv!...Mommy! Mo..moom...Fuck!"
"Oh god" There is a loud step and a throat clearing "I do not want to turn around"
"Oh you best turn around" We all turn to see Mom looking pissed while the others are behind her waiting to see what happens "You best hope that was a one time thing Santana Diabla Lopez! Cause if she says it again I will murder you!"
"She will not!" Santana quickly runs over to Beth "If you love me you will only say mommy!"
"Mommy!" I can see Santana relax "Mommy fuck! Fuck!"
"NO!" Santana takes off as mom runs after her "I AM SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!"
"I will murder you!" I start laughing and everyone stops "What is happening?"
"This!" I smile and look at everyone "This is what I have always wanted! I finally have family besides my dads! This is what I have always wanted!"
I pick up Beth and she giggles as we dance around. I finally feel free as I move around with her. I can do so much being her sister now. I will teach her how to act and sing!
-Rachel singing-
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
I stop when I hear cameras clicking. I turn and see everyone is smiling at us. I blush and look at the ground. I chuckle when Beth tells them off and gives me a slobbery kiss.
I look at Santana and try to convey all the love I feel. She is making this week about my life. She is trying to show I am loved. She is succeeding at it in a very spectacular way.
I can not wait to see what happens tomorrow! Yesterday was my mom and today was my sister. I wonder who is next. I would not mind if being Quinn and the Fabray girls.
I just can not wait for when it is just me and Santana. She is definitely getting a big reward.
