A/N: Ok guys here is the next chapter. I have written, re-written and edited this chapter and I am still not 100% ok with it but I am frustrated with it so I am just going to post and move on to the next. Everything I wanted in it is there it just doesn't flown the way I want it to but oh well here it is. Sorry it took me so long to get it out there. I have already started the next chapter and it seems to be coming out better.

Chapter 58

The rest of the weekend went well and the next week was hectic. Monday's Cheerios practice began with full on training. The Nationals routine was harder than Regionals but the squad was enthusiastic to learn. Rachel threw herself into training with the girls like she always had. Every day she was getting a little more comfortable with the uniform. The fact Santana and Quinn loved to see her in it was a big help.

Glee was going hard core as well. Practice started for both and had been in full swing all week. By Friday they were all exhausted and collapse on their bed at Judy's house and didn't move until Saturday morning. They slept in and just lounged in bed until Judy knocked and stuck her head in the door.

"Hey girls, are you going to emerge from below any time today?"

Quinn groaned snuggling into Rachel. "Nooo, we're dead today."

When she only received grunts from the other two she chuckled. "Ok girls but I have breakfast ready and Shelby and Sue will be here any minute. It's my day to spend with you Quinn and Shelby's taking you out today Rachel."

Sitting up slowly Quinn growled. "Can we do it tomorrow after we recover from the week?"

"No girls, tomorrow I have other plans. We set this up a week ago Quinn."

Standing she scowled at her mom. "Fine, I need a shower then I'll come upstairs."

Judy smiled. "Thank you. Come on Rachel, you too."

With a grunt she sat up and waved her off. "I'm up."

After showering the girls made their way upstairs and to the dining room where they found Shelby and Sue already there with Judy.

Shelby smiled at them sleepy girls. "Hello my babies, were you up late last night?"

They all kissed her and hugged Sue then Rachel pouted as she sat. "No, we passed out right after dinner. It's been a long week."

Santana groaned and put her head on Quinn's shoulder. "That's an understatement. It's been a horribly long week querida."

Sue chuckle. "It's your girl here's fault San. She made some awesome routines that are kicking your tails."

Santana leaned over and kissed Rachel's cheek. "Don't I know it. Unfortunately for her, it's harder on her then us. She has to train everyone and train as a flyer as well."

They all chuckled again and tucked into their breakfast. Quinn looked up at Judy as she finished her food. "So, what are we doing today?"

Judy smiled. "I thought we'd go shopping after having a spa day, the works. Pani-pedi's, massage, sea weed wraps, facial scrubs, just everything."

Quinn squealed and clapped her hands then jumped up and danced around her mom. "Oh god it's been too long, YES!"

They all laughed at her antics then Judy looked to Shelby as Quinn clamed and sat back down. "What are you two doing today?"

Shelby smiled and looked to Rachel. "I got us tickets to the Lion King musical in Columbus and reservations to that restaurant that you love so much."

Rachel did her own happy dance, squealing as she hugged Shelby tightly. San smiled at her girls' enthusiasm and just finished eating. Once dishes were done Judy and Quinn headed out for the day with kisses and hugs all around then Rachel and Shelby followed them out the door.

Santana watched them go and sat back with a sigh. She didn't know what to do with herself without the girls around. She figured she could work on her homework but that would leave her bored tomorrow while the girls did theirs. They always did it together. She figured she could work on some of her music. She had her mixer with her and had wanted to start on a new song she had been thinking of. She just wasn't in the mood right now. Maybe she would just veg out and watch some TV.

She was brought out of her inner musings at the movement beside her as Sue stood up and looked at her. "Well kid, it's just you and me, let's get going."

Santana looked at her confused while she stood. "Um, where are we going?"

Sue just shrugged as she walked out the door. "I guess you'll see when we get there."

Santana quickly followed, locked the door and hurried to the car as Sue started it up. They drove through town and Santana still had no idea where they were headed until Sue pulled in to the parking lot.

Santana looked up at the building in awe. "No, really?"

Sue just chuckled as she exited the car. "Yep, let's go get our paint ball on."

San whooped and shot out of the car and followed Sue into the family fun arena building bouncing on her feet the whole way.

They came out of the paint ball arena victorious and laughing like loons. "Oh my god, did you see those hockey players? We covered them Coach."

Sue just shrugged with a grin on her face. "Well we better have. Cheerios lose to no one."

They moved on to the laser tag room then hit the arcade after coming in first and second. Sue won. They collected all of their tickets and got cheesy prizes then moved on to the go carts to race. Santana won this one. After several hours at the family arena they went out for pizza then hit the movies to see the newest horror flick.

When they arrived back to Judy's the others weren't due to be back for an hour so they started dinner together talking about their day.

Santana put a dish in the oven then moved to start the dishes. She thought back over her day and couldn't believe she and Coach had so much fun together. She couldn't remember the last time she had that kind of fun with an adult in her life. She vaguely remembered her father. After he left there just wasn't time for her in her mother's life. Her mom eventually blamed her for everything and never took her out just for fun after that. She barely acknowledged her existence. Santana had always wanted a parent that actually cared about her and what she did. Turns out she had not only Shelby and Judy but Coach as well. It was a little overwhelming at times but in a good way.

They figured out months ago that Coach was really an ok lady. She did everything in her power to help them with Rachel then with Glee after Shuster screwed up. She was actually totally cool if you could get past her walls and get to the person underneath. Just like them, things weren't always what they seemed. When she and Shelby got together Santana worried a little about the impact it would have on them but things just got better. Shelby was happy and Sue treated her like she hung the moon. They couldn't ask for better for her and she was awesome with her and her girls also. As far as Santana was concerned it was definitely a win, win, for all of them.

After a while just thinking she turned to Sue. "Thanks for today Coach. It was a lot of fun."

Sue just shrugged. "We couldn't let them have all the fun. I saw no reason to sit around waiting on them. Besides we're badass San, and we badass ladies have to stick together."

"True that Coach." Santana laughed as she went back to loading the dishwasher with their prep dishes.

A little while later Shelby and Rachel came through the door. "We're home."

Santana turned just in time to get an arm load of Rachel. "Hey querida. Did you have a good day?"

Rachel bounced in place excitedly. "Oh yes. The performance was spectacular and lunch was amazing. I just wish you could have gone with us baby. I hated leaving you home."

Santana kissed her nose. "No hermosa, you need time with just you and Shelby. Besides, I had so much fun today. Coach and I went to the Family arena and played paintball and laser tag. Then we played tons of games, drove go carts, went out for pizza and then to a movie. It was a blast. Come on, I'll show you the prizes I won." She drags a smiling, giggling Rachel out of the room behind her.

Shelby walked over and wrapped her arms around Sue. "Productive day Sue?"

Sue just shrugged hugging her loosely. "Eh, I was bored and let her tag along."

Shelby just shook her head and kissed her lightly. "Whatever you say love. I know you have a soft spot for our girls."

"You have no proof." She deadpanned.

Shelby chuckled kissing her again, "Thank you honey. Sounds like you had a pretty fun day."

"She's a good kid. She deserves better than the mother she was given. I figured when you all had your one on one times we could too. I know how important that time with Rachel is to you and Quinn with Judy. They need it. I just didn't want her to feel left out." She shrugged again and hugged her closer.

"I feel bad that I didn't think of that, but I'm so glad you did. You're too good to us Sue."

"Not possible babe, and don't feel bad. You are wonderful with them and they adore you."

Shelby just smiled and laid her head on Sue's shoulder holding her close until the oven timer went off and Sue moved away.

Judy and Quinn arrived a short time later and they all sat down to dinner. The girls were all excited about what they had done and shared all of the fun they had had.

They all sat back as they finished eating and Shelby looked to the girls. "What would you girls think of taking a trip for spring break?"

Rachel smile brightly. "Where to?"

Sue wiped her mouth and put down her napkin. "I have a summer cottage in Florida. We figured we could all go there, play on the beach and maybe hit Disney World or one of the other parks."

All three girls squealed and bounced in their seats and Santana fist bumped Sue. "That would be so awesome."

Rachel clapped happily looking to Shelby. "We have to start planning. Spring break is in a few weeks."

Quinn looked to Judy. "What about Fran? She's supposed to be coming home for break."

"She's going to go with us. She'll be home the day before we fly out." She reached out and lay a hand on Quinn's. "She'll be on her best behavior."

Quinn wasn't sure that was such a good idea but she just nodded.

They spent the rest of the night looking up attractions and things to do near Sue's cottage. Deciding on the parks they wanted to see and things they wanted to do, they booked the flight and purchased tickets. Once they finalized what they could they all stood to walk Sue and Shelby out.

Santana walked up to Sue and hugged her. "Thank you again for today Coach."

Sue just held her close for a moment. "It was nothing. Next time you get to plan our day."

Santana looked up surprised. "We're doing it again?"

"Sure, why not? They will all be busy and it gives us something to do, but I don't do pani-pedi's and facials. Pick something cool."

Santana nodded vigorously. "You got it Coach. I'll pick something badass."

She hugged her again quickly, hugged Shelby then moved over to her girls as they waved them off. Then they all headed to bed.

The rest of the weekend was spent just lounging around the house and getting caught up on homework. Sunday night they settled into bed, snuggling close for a good night's sleep in preparation to start the week off the next day and do it all over again.

The next two weeks flew by in a whirlwind of Cheerio's and Glee practice. They moved from one house to the other as was asked of them and they were starting to really get used to being at Judy's house as much as their own. There were a few rough patches with Judy being a bit stricter with her rules then Shelby but they were adjusting well.

Before they knew it, it was time to pack for their trip and Fran would be arriving the next day during their last day of school before they flew out on Saturday for their trip. They were all excited for what should be a fun week.

A/N: This was a very short one. Next up vacation and Fran.
