-Chapter 20- Envelope-
-Shelby pov-
It's Sunday and we are back at Maribels house. It still surprises me with how big it is. I mean there's more rooms the occupants! Today was just as sunny and hot as yesterday so we were set to sunbathe.
"Alright tops off!" I roll my eyes at Judys overexcitement "I'll help with your bottoms"
"You don't feel weird with the girls in the pool?" I look and see the girls playing as a happy as can be with Beth on a little raft "I mean they are right there"
"Shelby" I look over at Maribel "Moms and daughters go to saunas and spas together! If you feel weird or uncomfortable you don't have to. Santana and I have been going to the same tanning place for years and have sunbathed like this for a while! It's nothing out of the ordinary! Some families are just closer"
"Like families that talk about restroom habits" I look over at Judy who has taken her top off "I'm doing this to show Quinn not be be afraid her how she looks! I mean look at me! I have wrinkles and I'm not the biggest girl...but if I can do this with people here..than I count it as a win"
"Yeah" I pull my top off and sit it beside me "I guess your right"
-Rachel pov-
"Do any of you think it's weird what our moms do?" I see Santana and Quinn shake their heads no "How?"
"Some moms and daughters are close like that" Santana shrugs and tickles Beth "My mom and I have no secrets to hide anymore and this is normal"
"My mom is trying to show it's ok to be in your own body" Quinn gives a small smile "I'm glad she's trying to be a good mom now"
"Yeah I guess I understand that" I look back over at my mom "It's great when they try"
We go into comfortable conversation as we play with Beth. I may feel uncomfortable with my mom the way she is but she is trying and is allowed to do what she wants. She is trying now and that means a lot to me.
After a bit we get out of the pool to eat lunch. Inside we find Fran walking into the house. She looks confused. Probably due to her mom naked eating a sandwich.
"That isn't what I was expecting" Fran looks over at us "This normal?"
"Guess so" I eat a bite of my salad "What's up?"
"Just came over to see you all" Fran looks past us to the pool "I also needed to give mom this"
She holds a red envelope up. I see Judy quickly run over and grab it. The envelope is opened and tears pool her eyes.
"The son of bitch did it" Judy shakes her head and sighs "We are being evicted from the house and he's cut off my account finally"
"Oh Judes" Mom wraps her arms around Judy "I'm so sorry"
"Don't apologize to me" Judy pulls away from her "You, Beth, and Rachel have no where to go now! I brought you in and now you have nowhere to be!"
"Yes and I need a moving crew ready to go" We all look at Maribel confused "Thank you Doc"
"Well looks the crew are on the go" Santana stands up "I get more housemates"
"Wait" I stand up and look around confused "What's going on?"
"I sent a moving crew to your house and they are grabbing all of your stuff and bringing it here!" We all look at Maribel stunned "We have more than enough space here for all of you"
"I-I-I don't know what to say" Judy and mom walk over and wrap their arms around Maribel crying "Thank you!"
"There's no need to thank me girls" Maribel smiles and looks at us "You girls can go back to swimming"
-Maribel pov-
The girls head out the door and we separate. Judy sits down and pulls out her phone. I see her looking on a job site. I look to my right and see Shelby doing the same.
"Phones down!" They look at me confused "Now!"
"Maribel you can't expect us to not try and help pay!" I look at Judy confused "We can't leech off of you for our kids"
"Judy is right" I look at Shelby "We have to find a way to pay you back"
"I have ownership in some top tier stocks and am a very well payed lawyer" I send them both a smile as I grab their phones "You will be taken care of very well"
"Are you sure?" I give Shelby a nod and she sighs "Alright"
"Good" I walk toward the back door "Now let's go back to our sunbathing!"
-Time skip-
It's been some time and I forgot about the movers. I started walking inside when I saw doc and his crew. I quickly threw on my stuff and went inside. I walk up to Doc and he smiles when he sees me.
"Hello Beautiful!" I raise a angry eyebrow and he steps back "What?"
"How long have you been here?" He holds up two fingers "And your guys?"
"What's wrong?" I point to the guys looking out the window "I see"
Doc walks over and starts yelling at the men. They quickly run and start working again. I give him a nod and stay to make sure everything runs smoothly. After they get everything moved in and leave I get the girls.
"Alright San show them the upstairs and I'll show the moms their rooms" Santana narrows her eyes at me but listens "Alright follow me"
Shelby, Beth, and Judy follow me. Beth makes sounds the whole way and I show the nursery to them first. We walk from their to the only downstairs bed room.
"Alright here's where you will be sleeping!" Their jaws drop "You like?"
"It's fantastic!" Shelby looks at the bed and looks confused "why is it so big?"
"Well I may have underestimated how many rooms we have" They look at me and I sigh "I can use the guest room"
"It's fine but don't play us ok?" I look up at Judy "We don't need money for you to try and get in on the action"
"I'm sorry" I look at the ground ashamed "I just am so used to money being the main thing in the relationship"
"Well with us it won't be ok?" I nod and Shelby raises my head up "But if we make this a thing you have to work on getting us to want you"
"Deal" I smile wide "I'll go work on those plans now!"
-Santana pov-
"Alright the room on the left is mine, second door on left will be Frans, on the right we have Quinn, next is Brittany, and last but not least is Rachel!" I start back down the stairs "I have something I have to do"
I walk downstairs and to the kitchen. I see my mom writing stuff down and on cloud 9. I walk over to her and rip the pen away from her.
"You can't just let well enough alone can you?!" My mom looks up at me confused "You think I haven't seen your flirting with Judy and Shelby?!"
"Mija plea~"
"NO!" My mom jumps at my yelling "They are great women and you are not going to take them by throwing cash and your body at them! It's not a great way to make a relationship! Trust me!"
"They've said I get a chance at wooing them" My mom stands up with a tear falling down "I apologized for what I did to them...I'm sorry I wasn't a good mom to you"
"You've been the best mom" I sigh and put a hand on my moms shoulder "If they are giving you a real shot go for it...just don't hurt them"
"Alright" She gives me a smile "You best treat Quinn right too"
"I will Mami" I give her a big hug "I love you"
"I love you Mija" She pulls back "How about we set up a group sauna day?"
"Baby steps mami" She rolls her eyes "That's sounds nice though"
"Santana" I turn around and see the girls smiling behind Rachel "I may have scars and I may not always think they are beautiful...but I know I truly am where it matters! I care about my family and I wanna live for all of you! I think I'm beautiful inside and outside! I am Rachel Berry!"
"Yes you are Estrella" I pull Rachel into a hug "Step 2 complete"
Today's been weird. But even in the weird things can be good. Especially with your family.
Sorry this one was short. I had trouble writing it and this is the best outcome I had. I hope you all enjoyed and I'll work on making the next one better.
