''Open the fuck up!'' Brittany screams slamming her fist against the front door of her dad's house after Puck drove her over, she shrugs Jake's hand off as he tries to pull her back and hits the door again. ''Dad!''

''Brittany?''

She looks up as she hears Quinn's voice and sneers as she sees her wearing nothing but a bathrobe and bed hair. ''Is he home?'' She snarls, Quinn nods her head and frowns.

''He is asleep.'' She glances at the time and rolls her eyes. ''It's two in the morning, can't it wait?''

''No it can't.'' She snarls. ''Wake his ass up and send him down.''

''Brittany…''

''I don't want to hear it Quinn, just send his ass down, this has nothing to do with you!''

''That is no way to spea…'' Brett cuts himself off as he sees the two boys standing behind his daughter as he walks up to the window making sure they only see his upper body and snarls. ''What are the two of you doing here?!''

''Making sure I don't break the law.'' Brittany sneers. ''You coming down or do you want the neighborhood to hear what an asshole you are?!'' She asks loudly noticing several lights from houses beside them turning on.

She crosses her arms as he just glares at her and raises an eyebrow. ''Try me.'' She challenges as he tries to open his mouth, she nods her head as he just steps back leaving Quinn standing at the window and growls. ''Thought so.''

She steps back between the boys as the lights downstairs turn on and crosses her arms as the front door slam open and her dad's glaring face appears. ''What the fuck do you think you are doing?!'' Brett snarls opening the door wider. ''Move your ass inside.''

He holds up his hand as the boys step forward first and shakes his head. ''Only Brittany.''

''Like hell I will.'' Brittany snarls. ''Why the fuck did you visit ma?!''

''We had some things to clear.'' He snarls back. ''It's none of your business!''

''She is my mother, the only person aside from these two, who care about me.'' She snarls while mentioning her hand to the boys. ''So it is my business!''

''You will see who cares about you soon.'' Brett snarls. ''You will enjoy living here with me and Quinn.''

''Like hell I will.'' Brittany growls out. ''The second you try to pull us to court, I will make sure they will know what you did to Ma!''

''I am pulling HER to court, not you!''

''But it is about ME and I am old enough to decide where I want to live, I will make sure everyone knows that I want to stay with Ma!'' She sneers as he just chuckles dryly and smirks. ''You really think a judge will allow me to stay with someone who is barely home and dating someone who is ten years older as I am and probably has no experience handling a child let alone a teen?''

''Watch it Brett.'' Puck growls out yanking Brittany back as he sees his hand bawl up into a fist. ''Touch her once and you can say goodbye to that face pulling money loving bitches in!''

''Stay out of this.''

''She is our sister.'' Jake sneers as Brett glares at Puck. ''Her fight is our fight.''

Brett shakes his head and laughs. ''The court will love knowing that Susan allows our daughter to hangout with two daredevils, your parents definitely decided corr...''

Jake and Puck's eyes widen as Brett stumbles back with a groan the second Brittany strikes unexpectedly and quickly rush forward as she steps forward from between them. ''Don't fucking talk to them like that!'' Brittany sneers pulling her fist back to hit him again.

''No you won't.'' Puck breaths out hoisting her back before she can throw her fist out once again, he freezes as sirens sound through the street blue lights flashing all around them and keeps his arm around Brittany's waist. ''Down.'' He whispers against her ear as Jake quickly joins them making sure to put some distance between the three of them and Brett scrambling up holding his jaw.

''You fucking little bit..''

''Sheriffs department, freeze!''

Brittany watches her dad stop in his tracks silently thanking the cops to jump out of the car the second he tried to rush over and turns to look at the police, she blinks as flashlights immediately blinds her and just takes a further step back gently pushing the boys back with her weight as she sees several guns pulled.

''Brett Kyle?''

She shakes her head as one of them turns to the two boys and points to her dad. ''Standing right over there.'' She informs them.

''And you are Brittany Pierce?'' One of the woman ask as she walks over shoving her gun back in her holster, she mentions her hand to the car and smiles. ''Please come with me, your mother begged us to bring you back.''

''Can I just drive back with the boys?'' Brittany asks, she sighs as the woman shakes her head and turns to Puck and Jake. ''Meet me there?''

She turns back to the woman as they nod their head walking to the truck the second one of the sheriffs ask them to leave and bites her lip as her dad starts yelling that she hit him. ''Thank god it's dark.''

The woman laughs softly opening the door for her and winks the second she slid in. ''Thank god it's a small town.'' She corrects. ''You were quite reckless today kid.''

Brittany shakes her head and sighs. ''He left my mother after she fainted, I don't even want to know what the outcome would be if her boyfriend didn't show up fifteen minutes later.'' She glances out of the window, raising an eyebrow in surprise as she sees someone pushing her dad to one of the other cars in handcuffs and turns to the woman as she drives off. ''He is arrested?''

''He abused his duty to rescue.'' The woman replies. ''He will be brought in for questioning, the yelling match some neighbors called us about and the fact that he screamed at three teens is also frowned upon so he will have some time to cool down at the precinct.''

Brittany hums sliding down her seat and covers her face. ''So this will be put down in his file?'' She chuckles as the woman just hums and shrugs. ''Well thank god, that will solve the problem completely.''

''What problem?''

''The reason this all happened in the first place.'' Brittany sighs out. ''Ma fainted because he came to her work and handed her papers that he is fighting her for full custody.''

''Well he screwed that one up.'' The woman muses. ''That doesn't explain why you rushed over and hit him kid.'' She breaths out. ''You could have brought yourself in danger!''

''I know but I didn't think about that at all.'' Brittany sighs out. ''All I heard is that he is the reason that Ma fainted and saw on recording that he left the second she went down.''

''It's recorded?''

She nods her head as she hears the surprise in her voice and bites her lip. ''Yeah Ma has camera's up because he tried to break and enter once before, she has all recordings on her phone.''

''Send it over the second we arrive back please.'' The woman requests. ''I will make sure we will note it down, why does he want to fight custody, don't they share?''

Brittany shakes her head and huffs. ''Nah he left our family six years ago and voluntarily gave up on it allowing mom to have it fully, I am almost one hundred percent sure that he wants to fight it now because he thinks my dreams are unrealistic.''

''Your dreams?''

''My career now.'' Brittany explains. ''I am sure you know what I do, but he was always against it and never supported me.''

''I sure do, my kids are fans and I am too.'' The woman muses. ''Why the hell does a dad not support his own child? I would be proud knowing my kid is rising up the fame ladder and releases top ten hits almost every time.''

Brittany shrugs her shoulders as she watches her park the car in front of the hospital and sighs. ''He is against music and everything country related, he is also against my two best friends but Ma loves them as if they are her own.''

The woman turns to her after they both slid out of the car and smiles kindly. ''We will make sure nothing in your life will change Brittany, your mom will keep full custody and now with everything written down in his file he will have no chance pulling her to court.''

Brittany smiles as they walk into the hospital and nods her head. ''Thank you.''

''Just never be so reckless again kiddo, next time I will haul your ass back to the precinct too and make you sit there for a while.''

Brittany laughs as she hears the amusement in her voice and nods her head. ''As long as he stays away from Ma, I will behave.''

''Good, now do me a favor and allow someone to check out your hand because I don't think the bruising around your knuckles are normal.''

Brittany frowns in confusion and looks down at her hand, she gulps thickly as she sees the purple color covering her knuckles and bites her lip. ''Nope that wasn't there before the hit.''

''Yeah that clearly looks broken.'' Dr Clyde comments as he watches the blonde look at her hand. ''You got him good?''

Brittany looks up at him and just nods her head as the woman laughs. ''I think I did.''

''The bruising sure showed that she got him good babe.'' The woman breaths out grinning, she smirks as the teen looks between them in confusion and taps her name tag. ''Never checked it?''

Brittany snickers as she sees the same last name as Dr Clyde wears and shakes her head. ''No not really.''

Dr Clyde just chuckles and nods his head to the room the blonde sprinted out of three hours before. ''Can you go in and reassure Ms Pierce that her daughter is fine? I will kidnap her quickly for an x-ray of her hand.''

Brittany follows Dr Clyde as his wife just nods her head after squeezing his hand and looks down at her hand. ''Doc, how long will this last?''

''Depends on how fast you heal.'' He replies as he leads her into the room. ''But prepare yourself for a cast the next four to six weeks.''

Brittany drops her head and groans. ''I have school and this is my good hand.''

''I will write a note allowing you to use an electronic device.'' He promises as he steps back. ''Hold still please.'' He adds as he walks over after placing her hand on the table.

''Well it's clearly broken.'' He breaths out as he walks back into the room after taking a few pictures. ''You broke your fourth and fifth metacarpal.''

''Yeah I have no idea where that is located.''

He laughs as she just looks up at him and points at his own hand. ''The small bones of your pinky and ring finger, the bruising on your knuckles are just from the hit.''

''So cast?'' Brittany asks, she grumbles as he nods his head and sighs. ''Now I know where I got my hard head from.''

Dr Clyde laughs and shakes his head. ''Go to your moms room, I will follow you with a nurse and we will cast your hand in there.''

Brittany nods her head sliding off of the chair she sat on and walks out of the room, she walks down the hallway back to her moms room and walks in after knocking on the door.

''Britt.'' Susan sighs out in relief the second she locks eyes with her daughter.

''I am fine.'' Brittany murmurs as she immediately walks over to hug her, she kisses her cheek and turns to the boys winking. ''I really am.''

''How many?'' Sheriff Clyde asks with an eyebrow raised.

''Two, fourth and fifth.'' Brittany replies, she shrugs as she winces and cracks a smile. ''Worth it.''

''Fourth and fifth what?'' Susan asks in confusion as she notices the boys and Carl also watch the interaction between her daughter and the sheriff in confusion.

''I may or may not have broken my hand on his jaw.'' Brittany breaths out with a sheepish grin.

''You what?!'' Susan asks with wide eyes as the boys cover their mouths to silence their laughter and Carl covers his to hide his amusement at the nonchalant way Brittany spoke.

The sheriff shakes her head laughing as Brittany just continues smiling sheepishly and walks over to the bed to pat Susan's leg. ''She will be fine Ms Pierce, from the things I heard, she definitely knows how to handle herself.''

''Brittany..''

''Oh no don't scold me for bruising that bastards jaw, he deserved it after leaving you laying on the ground.'' Brittany breaths out hearing her over motherly voice. ''I will be fine Ma.''

''Broke.'' The sheriff corrects in amusement.

''She broke his jaw?'' Dr Clyde asks in surprise as he walks into the room with a nurse, he turns to the teen as his wife just nods her head and shakes his head. ''Damn kiddo, how much strength did you put into that single hit?''

''All of it?'' Brittany asks shrugging. ''He already triggered the rage the second I saw the recording but him trying to bad mouth two boys I see as my family just fueled it.''

Susan sighs as she watches her daughter sit down so Dr Clyde can cast her hand and turns to the boys. ''What did he say?''

''Nothing worth repeating, we just blocked all of it out.'' Puck replies.

''He tried to tell us our parents made the right decision.'' Jake explains as Susan just frowns as Puck's reply. ''Brittany didn't allow him to finish that one sentence though, she hit him before it could leave his mouth.''

''She broke his jaw you said?'' Susan asks turning to the sheriff, she turns to her daughter as she just nods her head and reaches out to pat her shoulder. ''As much as I hate that you broke your hand on his face, I am proud that you stood up for the people you love sweetheart.''

''Family is family.'' Brittany breaths out wincing as Dr Clyde moves her hand. ''Blood related or not, nobody can speak shit about any of you whenever I am around.''

''Just don't break your hand again.'' Susan breaths out with a sigh. ''It's not worth it honey.''

''I will be fine ma.'' Brittany promises. ''Dr Clyde already promised to write a note stating that I need to use an electronic device for school and I can still record and write songs without the use of my right hand.''

''What will happen now?'' Susan asks after she just leaned over the side of the bed to kiss the back of her daughters head.

''Well he will be questioned about tonight and about yesterday.'' The sheriff turns to Brittany holding out her card and smiles kindly. ''Can you send the recordings to my email?'' She turns back to Susan as Brittany just nods her head grabbing the phone with her left hand and smiles reasuringly.

''The papers he handed you won't be active the second we file everything so full custody of Brittany will be yours and I am a hundred percent sure that the judge will laugh in his face if he tries it again, he gave up voluntarily during the divorce, got arrested the second he changed his thoughts so he definitely blew his chances.''

She glances at Brittany as she stands up right after Dr Clyde finished casting her hand and smiles lovingly as the blonde just crawls up the bed to cuddle against her mothers side. ''If he does try, he will have no chance because everyone in here and also everyone around the world can see that she is happy where she is right now.''

''Sure am.'' Brittany breaths out through a yawn, Susan chuckles softly and kisses the top of her head.

''Jet lag?''

''More like awake for a day and a half now.'' Brittany grumbles as she nuzzles her face against her shoulder.

Susan just shakes her head and sighs. ''Sleep sweetheart.'' She turns to the boys and nods to the chairs. ''The both of you too, put in some headphones and sleep please.'' She tells them knowing they won't leave the hospital as long as she is there.

She turns to the sheriff as the boys just nod their heads grabbing their phone and smiles slightly as she frowns in confusion the second she heard how long they are awake. ''Britt had a small concert in LA, I am sure she jumped on the plane the second she received the call so she had no time to sleep.'' She explains.

The sheriff just nods her head and chuckles as she watches the three teens drift off almost instantly the second they allow their bodies to relax. ''That explains the reason why they drifted off so quickly, do you have any more questions?''

Susan shakes her head and smiles slightly. ''No I think you answered all.'' She nods her head to the card Brittany placed on the table and locks eyes with her. ''But I have your card so I can send an email or call if more comes up right?''

''You definitely can.'' The sheriff replies. ''I will be heading out too so you can get some rest too, stay safe Ms Pierce and enjoy the cuddling.'' She turns to her husband and winks. ''Don't complain, I allow it.''

Dr Clyde laughs and shrugs. ''I didn't see anything, I will tell the nurses to ignore it too.'' He turns to Carl and smiles. ''I will bring in another chair for you.''

''Oh no I think I will go.'' Carl replies, Susan shakes her head reaching out to grab his hand with her free one and squeezes it softly.

''Please stay.'' She whispers making sure she won't wake her daughter. ''This is not the way I wanted you to meet her, but now that you did I would love to have you stay and maybe join us for dinner tomorrow?''

''That's no question.'' Brittany croaks out. ''Dinner tomorrow is must.''

Carl laughs hearing her tired voice and locks eyes with Susan. ''Alright I will stay and it's a yes to dinner too.'' He turns to the tired blonde and gently taps her shoulder. ''I think you definitely need to sleep Brittany, we will all talk more tomorrow.''

Susan laughs softly as a soft snore coming from Brittany is the only reply he gets and shakes her head. ''And she is out again.'' She frowns in confusion as she hears a phone buzz and looks around. ''Was that your phone?'' She asks turning to Carl.

She glances at her own as he shakes his head and turns to the boys as she sees that the light on her phone is off too, she raises an eyebrow as she sees the both of them still holding their phones knowing it would wake them if it had buzzed and turns to her daughter. ''Well that leaves only you.'' She murmurs in amusement.

She slides her arm down to take the phone out of the left back pocket and lifts it up, she unlocks it raising an eyebrow as she sees a message from an unknown phone number and taps it the curiosity getting the best of her.

From unknown: Hey Brittany, it's Santana. Mateo just gave me the piece of paper you handed him before you left, he or well we wanted to know if your mom is okay? Have a nice night.

''Santana, Mateo?'' She whispers in confusion, she looks up at her boyfriend noticing him just looking at her with an eyebrow raised and suddenly bites her lip as she recognizes the names again. ''Ah the meet & greet winner.'' She breaths out in realization, she glances down at her sleeping daughter and shakes her head. ''Leave it to you, to give your phone number to your tiny fans B.''

''You always talking to her sleeping form?'' Carl asks in amusement, Susan looks up and smiles sheepishly.

''No but the message surprised me, she had a meet and greet with a little boy today and.'' She gently shakes the phone and smiles in amusement. ''She gave him her private phone number.''

''That boy definitely wormed his way into her heart almost immediately.'' Puck croaks out in amusement as he grabs the earbud that fell out, he chuckles tiredly as Susan's head snaps over and shrugs. ''I am sure she won't hand her phone number out to everyone, but he has it and I think he will see more of her than other fans will.''

Susan just nods her head telling him to go back to sleep and turns back to the phone, she shrugs her free shoulder as she taps the reply button and types out a message after saving Santana to her daughters contacts.

To Santana: Hello Santana, it's Susan, Brittany's mother. I am sure you expected her to reply but she fell asleep after a stressful day, I am doing just fine and I will tell her to reply to you tomorrow.

She places her daughter phone down after replying to the concerned text she received from Katelyn and lays back down grabbing Carl's hand she finds behind her daughters back, she squeezes it softly after kissing Brittany's head and sighs softly. ''Let's try to sleep a bit.''

Carl just hums in agreement as he leans back in his chair making sure to keep a hold on her hand and runs his thumb over the back of it. ''I agree, good night babe.''

''Good night baby.''
