-Chapter 31-3 Women Dating-

-Rachel pov-

Gifts and plenty of gifts have been ordered and hidden through out the house. Its been weird at certain points hiding things from the girls. I really just wanna give them both the gifts I got. We agreed on only three buuuuuuut I may have gotten them more. I just kept seeing things that reminded me of them!

I sigh and walk to the living room. We all agreed we'd do Beths birthday party on christmas this year. We just got wrapped up into things and it slipped past...that sounds awful. Judy is currently trying to figure out what kind of cake to make and Lucy is...well i dont know what she is doing. I havent seen her all morning.

"Youre thinking to loud!" I turn and playfully glare at Santana "Hey babe that's carrying my baby"

"Hey girlfriend that's not getting a kiss" Santana pouts and I chuckle "Have you seen Lucy at all?"

"Not yet no" Santana looks over at Judy "Hey momma j! Have you seen Lucy Q?"

"She went somewhere with Fran" I look at Judy confused "She didn't tell you two?"

"No she didn't" Santana and I look at each other "I wonder what she couldn't talk to us about"

-Lucy pov-

"You do know you don't have to do this right?" I look at Fran who looks worried "You can just walk away"

"I know" I take a deep breath and look back at the glass in front of me "I want to though"

There's a buzz and prisoners start filling in. Slowly Russel Fabray walks up to the chair and sits. He looks skinnier and unhealthy. He doesn't have all the money he used to.

I pick up the phone when he does "Hello Quinn" He smirks and leans closer to the glass "Hows my baby girl? Still enjoying that little dy~"

"I'm here to tell you I can love you as what you were at one point but not like this" His face contorts into one of confusion "I have never been more sick in my life than to hear and see you...I was a daddy's girl and now I never want to be associated with you again"

"Why come tell me this?" He sits back still with a look of confusions on his face "You didn't have to"

"I wanted to" I sigh before going on "I smoked to escape my issues...I smoked to speed up death! But I have reason to live now and I have to cut out the reason I wanted to speed things up...so this is my last goodbye to you"

"I see" He looks me in the eyes and smiles "You were always a strong girl and I was never really a good man! But I'm going to say one thing if this is the last goodbye...don't let anyone walk over you no matter what"

He quickly puts the phone up and walks to the guards. I watch him leave before hanging up the phone. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up at Fran. I stand up and she pulls me into a hug. The only real fatherly advice he ever gave me is when I was letting him go.

I'll never let anyone walk over me. That's just a point blank fact. I am Lucy Quinn Carmichael, Soon to be, I'm a HBIC, a nerd, and not afraid to take what I want. I'll get the help to get better for my girls and then I'll show them who really has the power.

It's me.

-Judy pov-

"You figure it out yet?" I look up at Shelby holding Beth and shake my head no "It's just us and my parents"

"That's what's she's worried about" Maribel walks up behind me and looks at the drawings "She has to do good by your parents"

"Uh so do you" I look at Maribel and smirk "You are the one that broke their baby girls heart to pieces"

"I" Maribels face goes red and she pouts "I'm fucked"

"Not if you have a great date" I nod and Shelby asks a very good question "When is the date?"

"I told you two" I look at Maribel confused and she points to the fridge "Have neither of you ate yet?"

We shake our heads no and Maribel groans. She walks to the fridge and pulls down two pieces of paper. She hands me one with my name on it to open.

'Dear Judy,

You and Shelby are going to have your socks knocked off by the date I have planned! Just don't go out back! The restaurants were booked and the girls helped me with this date. If it's bad it's more my fault than theirs.

Date starts: 6:30 p.m.

Ends: Whenever we feel'

"Well then I'm glad I didn't go out back" Shelby chuckles and I look at Maribel "I'm sorry I didn't read it"

"It's fine" Maribel gives me a hug and looks at Shelby "Just be dressed warm by 6:30"

"Will do" I stand up and Maribel lets go "For now let's get some lunch to hold us over"

"How about I make the lunch" Shelby hands me Beth and walks to the oven "You'll burn the house down"

"Ha Ha" I look at Beth and point at Shelby "Mommy is a mean woman"

They laugh and I take Beth out of the room. I have clothes to pick and a little buddy to help!

-Time skip-

"Come on Shelby!" I put my gloves on and look at Shelby "You don't even have your snow pants on!"

"It snowed last night I didn't have them ready" Shelby struggles to put them on for a little bit "Did I gain weight?"

"Maybe that's why you got more better to cuddle?" She glares at me and I smile "Come on! You look fine and our date is waiting!"

Shelby rolls her eyes and finishes getting her snow outfit on. When we are ready we go to the back door and wait. Soon we have blindfolds over our eyes and can't see anything.

"I'll guide you" I feel Maribels hand go in mine "Trust me"

We start moving and I hear the crunching of the snow. This is already fun! I love the snow so much! If I could get real snow minus the cold I'd be happy! Snow is just so fun!

"We are here!" Apparently Shelbys blindfold is off cause I here her gasp "Don't spoil the surprise!"

"Why couldn't I get to see first?" I pout and look to where I heard Maribels voice "You like her more then me!"

"Maybe I do" I shiver at her voice going directly into my ear as the blindfold comes off "Maybe I don't"

"That was so hit I'm surprised the snow didn't melt" I raise a eyebrow at Shelby and she just smirks "I can sound cheesy too"

"Yeah, yeah" I finally look ahead and my jaw drops "This is...wow!"

In front of us is a table set up in the snow with chairs. Around the table is Christmas decorations making it look like a wonderland. I'm on my dream date!

"Still like Shelby more?" I look at Maribel who's smirking "Let's sit down and enjoy the wonderland"

I nod still in awe. This is definitely my best date ever. I won't ever tell Shelby that though.

-Lucy pov-

Fran parks the car and I take a deep breath. We are at a place I can get help with the smoking. I trust this person a lot. We get out of the car and walk to the door. We knock and the door slowly opens.

"Welcome Lucy" Emma moves aside and holds the door open "Come on in"

"Thanks" I walk in and see the small house "Nice and quaint"

"You like it that way" I glare at Fran who just smirks "Sit down"

I sit on a chair and they join me "So Fran has informed me what this is about" Emma looks at me as she puts a cigarette carton on the coffee table "This is the problem? What do you wanna do about it?"

I pick up the carton and look around the room. I see a trash can and stand up. I slowly walk over and open the can. I look at the cigarettes and dump them into it.

"First step complete" I look back at Emma and she smiles "Now onto the rest"

-Time skip-Judy pov-

The date has been amazing! The food was great, the music has been amazing, and the scenery is wonderful! I don't know what could too this!

"I know music I'm big to you two" Maribel stands up and walks to a microphone "So I've practiced secretly to sing"

Shelbys grabs my hand and we watch as the music starts to play.

-Maribel singing-

The whole world feels a little bit more love

When Christmas comes

When Christmas comes

And everywhere that you go

People singing 'Let It Snow'

And hanging up that mistletoe

And me and you gonna have ourselves a holiday

And we don't need nobody else to celebrate

And we gon' kiss our worries and our cares away

I can't wait

Because this Christmas time

Get together

It's gonna be so nice

Better than ever

And baby you're the one

Special treasure

I can't wait to unwrap your love

Until Christmas comes

Oh baby

So many souls hurt

So many don't have enough

When Christmas comes

When Christmas comes

But baby if you spread love

Someday it might be enough to heal each other one by one

And we gon' get together

And rejoice and pray

And we gon' help the world, become a better place

And we gon' sing and shout

Because the savior reigns

So don't dismay

Because this Christmas time

Get together

It's gonna be so nice

Better than ever

Because this gift of love lasts forever

The Lord makes our hearts open up

Soon as Christmas comes

It's gon' be alright

When Christmas comes

Oh jingle all the way

Oh what fun, hmm

And we gon' reminisce about the good old days

And we gon' laugh together as the children play

And through the years is always gonna be this way

Come what may

Because this Christmas time

Get together

It's gonna be so nice

Better than ever

And baby you're the one that I treasure

I can't wait to unwrap your love

When Christmas comes

Lalala dada dada dada dadada dada

Lalala dada dada dada dadada dada

Lalala dada dada dada dadada dada

Lalala dada dada dada dadada dada

Lalala dada dada dada dadada dada

We clap as Maribel smiles and bows "That was wonderful" We walk over to her and I grab her closest hand "This has been an amazing date"

"So" Maribel nervously smiles now and looks at both of us "Am I officially with you two?"

"I don't know" I look at Shelby and nod toward Maribel "What can we do to show her we are officially a couple?"

Shelby smirks and nods at me. We both turn toward Maribel and give her cheek kisses. When we pull back we laugh at the blush that takes over her face. Today was a good day.

I don't think I could be happier.

-Lucy pov-

"I think our best way to solve this is with this" Emma hands me a rubber band "Flick when you wanna use just don't hurt yourself"

"Alright" I put the rubber band on and look at Emma "I'll come to you if it doesn't help"

"Isn't my girlfriend great" I smile as Fran kisses Emma on the check and looks super happy "She makes me happy"

"You make me happy" Emma smiles and looks at me "I know you have a need for control too...you may wanna take it form Rachel but let her have it for now ok? She needs something while all of this happens"

"Will do" I stand up and stretch "I feel like today was the start to a better tomorrow"

They smile at me and I'm not lying. Maybe I'll be able to be happy and stress free without cigarettes sneaking. So I hope.
