-Chapter 32- Saturday's part 2-
-Shelby pov-
The front door opens and I see the girls walk in. Maribel is still out cold and Beth is working on going out for a nap. I look at the girls and nod. I only get a nod from Quinn as they step into the living room.
"So" Santana looks around "Wheres Judy? Figured we'd all have a talk"
"She went to find Rachel" I look away from the girls "Might wanna message her and tell her you found her"
"You didn't go with her?" I don't have to look up to see the sadness, it was all in Rachel's voice "You didn't try to find me too?"
"I had Beth and Maribel to watch over" I rock Beth and try to hold back the tears "I had things to think about"
"Like leaving me again?" I look up at Rachel shocked at her words then taken back by her anger "It's obvious you aren't happy! It's obvious you don't wanna be here!"
"I don't wanna leave Rachel" She scoffs and rolls her eyes "I don't want to"
"But youre going to aren't ya?" Rachel shakes her head "I'll never understand why you hate me so much!"
"Because I see my own failures when I look at you!" I see Rachels face shift to scared and realize I'm standing now "I wanna be your mom and I want to see you go to broadway but damnit Rachel NYADA won't do that for you! I tried that path and the first thing I got sent to was a nude photograph session! They wanted to use my body! Every time I look at you and hear you talk about NYADA...it's makes me remember young me and what I went through...I don't want that to happen to you"
"Why did you flip out earlier?" I look over at Santana now "You cussed us out"
"I was trying to figure everything out" I look over at Maribel who's moving in her sleep "I was angry that I let everything get out of control over a movie night and I was upset that Rachel didn't wanna spend time with me when I was making a plan to have our first real mother and daughter night"
"You really wanted that?" I look at Rachel and nod "Alright...I'll watch movies with you and Beth"
"Really?" Rachel nods and I smile "Thank you"
"Girls" We all look to the door and see Judy "Can I have Shelby alone in the room for a bit? We can go back to Santana's drugs in a minute"
Santana is the first gone followed by the others. Judy walks into the living room more and looks at Maribel. She shakes her head and then looks at me. Uncomfortable silence falls upon us.
"You know I was gonna say anything bad to you this morning" Judy looks away "I was gonna be mean but I wasn't gonna cal you a bitch or anything like that"
"Fran and Quinn don't need me anymore" Judy shakes her head and looks at me with tear filled eyes "I just got both of them back and they are already gone again"
"They still need you" I walk to Judy and put my free hand on her shoulder "They'll always need their mom"
"I'm sorry about this morning" we share a hug and break apart when Maribel starts waking up "And here's sleeping beauty"
"What happened?" Maribel sits up "Wheres everyone at? Have we picked our movies for the night?"
"You ate a whole bag gummy bear edibles" Maribels eyes go wide "They were Santana's"
"I see" Maribel stands up scarily calm "Let's go see this lovely daughter of mine"
We follow behind her upstairs. She's still acting very calm and it's terrifying. We get to Santana's room and she opens the door. We walk in and stop facing the girls.
"So" Santana looks pale as she looks at her mother "You think it's good to take edibles huh? Where did you get them?"
"Doc" Maribel growls "He said it'd help the pain from dad leaving!"
"He's gonna need some help with pain" Maribel turns and walks to the door "I'll be back in a bit"
Maribel walks out and we look at Santana "Should we follow her?" Santana shakes her head no "Why?"
"Cause she'll be fine" Santana sighs "I'm more worried for doc"
-small time skip- Docs shop- Maribel pov-
I pull into docs lot and get out. I quickly make my way into the shop and to his office. Some people try to stop me but I push them away. I push open his office door and he jumps.
"What the hell?!" He pulls the door from the wall "I have to replace that now!"
"You gave my daughter edibles?!" He looks away but I can see his facial expression. He doesn't care "You are no longer attached to me or my family"
"Are you kidding me?!" Doc looks back at me angry "You can't just cut me! I've fixed your cars and house for years! You can't afford to lose me!"
"I can't afford my daughter to get addicted to drugs" I turn my back on him and walk to the door "Goodbye doc"
"You'll regret this Bitch" I turn back to him "Blood has never been on my hands"
"Neither mine" I smirk "I've got my money from stocks and business! I've never done anything I regret...minus finding you and Daniel"
"Fuck you" he points to the door "Get out of my shop and never come back"
"Be my pleasure" I turn away and start walking again "You better find another rich bitch to pay for this place"
I hear a angry growl from behind me and smirk. I walk out to my car and get in it. I sit in the driver seat and take a deep breath. Doc was like family to me and I've known him for so long. But I won't have him giving my daughter drugs.
I put my car into drive and head home. It's a quick drive and I head immediately inside. When I get in I see Santana standing waiting. I send her a smile and she runs over to me pulling me into a hug.
"I'm sorry mami" I wrap my arms around her "Did you hurt him?"
"We no longer will be getting service from him" We pull apart and I ruffle her hair "But don't worry your little grounded mind"
"Grounded?!" She pouts and I nod "fine"
"This is a warning girls" All of the girls look at me "Us moms did our you did drugs or drank you'll be grounded and other punishments"
"That sounds fun" I turn around as Fran comes through the door "Ready for movie night?"
"She lives!" Fran rolls her eyes at me "Hey! Dont give me attitude"
"Whatever" She walks into the living room and hugs Judy "Hey mom"
"Hey baby girl" Judy smiles and hugs Fran "We are gonna start movies soon"
"I'm going upstairs with Rachel and Beth" Shelby smiles and puts a arm around Rachel while holding Beth "We are opting out of horror for tonight"
"That works" I pull back from Santana fully and head into the kitchen "I'll work on dinner"
-Time skip- Rachel pov-
The evening has been fun with mom and Beth. We've been watching a mix of Disney movies and musicals. It's been fun to have time with just my mom. It makes me wanna do it more often. It's all I could've ever asked for.
"Are you still planning on NYADA?" I look up at my mom who's eyes are in the screen "I was being truthful about what I said happened"
"Do you think I have a chance anywhere else?" Mom looks at me "Do you think I could do NYU or Juilliard?"
"I think you could do whatever you want to" she smiles and pulls me into her "You are gonna be something big baby girl"
"I wanna be like you" She looks down at me confused "You are talented and can sing amazingly! A lot of daughters strive to by like their mothers...I'm not any different..I wanna be like you mom"
"You don't know how happy that makes me" She kisses my forehead and then looks back at the screen "This is my favorite part!"
I look at the screen as Simba stands against scar. She loves Lion King. She's kinda like a lion. She leads her pride and will stand against anyone who tries to hurt them. She's my momma lion.
She's my rock and my mother.
