-Fran pov-

"You got it?" I nod and pull out the beer bottles "Good thing I brought these then"

"The good stuff?" Santana pulls out the brownies and I smile "You are too good to me"

"Our girlfriends would kill us" I nod and pull out a brownie "Thankfully no one knows we are here"

"Oh hey you two!" We both freeze before turning to see Shelby behind us "You got brownie and root beer? Why sneak away from the family picnic?"

"We just had some things to talk about" Shelby nods and grabs a brownie "I am not sure I would eat that"

"I have eaten pot brownies before" My jaw drops and Shelby puts a finger to her lips "I get this one and no one has to know"

"You officially just became the coolest mom ever" Shelby smiles and pops the brownie into her mouth "Like could you become my stepmom now?"

"This better not be a very often thing" I see fear spread across Santanas face "What?"

"What was that about pot brownies?" Shelby turns and so do I to see Maribel with a raised eyebrow "Spit it out and come back to the picnic...NOW!"

Shelby spits it out and quickly heads over. We both sigh and follow after them. It is not that we are bored being here. It has been quite fun actually.

We just would have preferred being at home. I see Quinn glaring and roll my eyes. I look around for Rachel and frown when I do not see her. I look at Quinn who lets out a growl.

"You better make this up to her" I am so confused right now "This was her idea! She wanted us to get together and show we have gotten better! To show we see a big happy family! Then you two did that bullshit!"

"Three" Shelby pretends to look around "You are as much to blame!"

-Santana singing-

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

(Let somebody love you)

You better let somebody love you before it's too late

"Thank you for singing a great song" I turn to see Santana hugging a smile Rachel "I am so glad you have gotten better and learned how great your voice can be!"

"I have had a great coach" I glare at her and she sticks her tongue out at me "I am so sorry that I walked away for some pot brownies and beer"

"You made it up ok?" They pull apart and I get met with a glare "What?"

"Rachel I thought this was just some dumb picnic" I hear a sniffle and turn to see my mom ready to cry "Oh come on! You were apart of the planning too?"

Mom nods her head while holding the food "I just thought we could do what we used to" She starts to turn around "Maybe this was just a dumb idea"

"HOLD ON!" Everyone stops moving and I sigh "Look i have a problem ok? Santana and I started eating edibles then smoking a little bit a few years back..she moved onto Cuban cigars while I stuck with pot"

"We drank when we had neither" Santana sighs and walks to beside me "We wanted to be better but the addictions beat us out every time"

"We want to be better for you all" I look at Rachel as tears form in my eyes "I want to be better for you"

"I want you to get better for yourself" she comes over and cups my face "I love you so much"

"Really?" She nods and I smile "You have fallen for me?"

"I have fallen for both of you" She smiles brightly "It gets more and more everyday"

"This worked!" Brittany cheers and hugs Santana "Now you just need to get better to ok? I will be beside you every step"

"Alright babe" They share a kiss as Quinn comes over to us "Now how about we chow down?"

I look at Shelby who is looking at the ground. Maribel puts a hand on her shoulder. Something is going on inside her head right now. Shelby sighs before looking up at us.

"It helped me through giving up Rachel" We all fully give her our attention "It helped me after I thought I would never see my world again...I never held her and I broke down"

"Yes you did" We turn as a lady with a walker makes her way over "Glad to see my granddaughters are alright"

"Mom?" The lady smiles and Shelby runs over to her "Mom!"

"It was her last step" I look at Emma confused "Her last step was to finally stop ignoring her"

"I am so sorry I blocked you" Shelby is in sobs right now "Please! Please forgive me! I am so sorry! I should have never ran away!"

"You are alright baby" The old lady looks our way "You must be one of my granddaughters girlfriends"

"That walker has never seemed scarier" Quinn nods as I gulp "H-hello Mam"

"Never hurt my baby" We both nod and she smiles "Good! Now Maribel Lopez I will bury you if you hurt my daughter too"

"Yes Mam" Santana chuckles and then groans in pain from Brittany smacking her arm "That is abuse!"

"We are slowly getting better" I nod and Rachel steps away from me a little "I got a good song for us all"

-Rachel-Fran-Santana-All-

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain, we all have sorrow.

But if we are wise,

We know that there's always tomorrow.

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you won't let show.

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand,

We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand,

We all need somebody to lean on.

If there is a load

You have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me.

Call me if you need a friend

Call me, call me, uh-huh

Call me when you need a friend

Call me if you ever need a friend

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me if you need a friend

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me

"Now that we have done that" Mom raises up the picnic basket "Let us chow down up in this bitch!"

We all laugh and I honestly smile. I love this family of ours. Everyday gets better and better. I can not wait for what comes next.

Life definitely will get interesting.
