-Chapter 57-
-Shelby pov-
Alright so yesterday we did a helpful thing. We aren't often naked around the house. Judy has tried but we disagreed on it. We just don't need to become nudist. So today I'm expecting clothed people.
I'm surprised though when I leave the room and enter the kitchen. Standing before me is a naked Judy and Holly drinking coffee. I shake my head and rub my eyes thinking I'm just still dreaming.
I'm thrown more when I see my pregnant daughter walk in the same way. I raise a eyebrow at a fully dressed Santana. She shrugs and sits down. I look at Judy and see she's finally noticed I'm here.
"Uhhhh hi!" Judy slowly backs away from me as I step closer "Y-you don't usually get up this early!"
"I thought maybe I'd try changing it up" I point at her "Seem to be feeling a breeze"
"He yeah" She bumps into the wall and can't move "Look we are all friends here"
"Is everything ok?" I turn and look at a confused Holly "I don't understand"
"We don't usually go full nudist multiple days" I look at Judy "Someone enjoys it too much"
Judy scoffs "I do not!" I give her a knowing look but get met with 'the look' "So you think I'm covering up? I believe this is my house no? I wear the pants don't I?"
"Well" I look at her legs then back up at her "Not right now no"
"Ohhh snap" I turn toward Santana "You just barked back at the hand"
"Carmichaels get their way" I turn back and pout at Judy "It's fine if you don't wanna join but let me have my thing ok?"
"Ok" She smiles and gives me a quick kiss "That it?"
"Oh heavens no" Judys smile turn to a smirk "I wanna hear something beautiful come from that mouth"
I sigh and think of a song. I notice everyone else is joining into the room. Just great. I take a deep breath finally deciding on a song.
-Shelby singing-

"Sounds wonderful" I get another kiss from Judy "I love your voice"
"Hey can I go drive to the mall early?" We turn toward Lucy "I don't wanna miss the sale on baby clothes"
"That's fine" I look at Santana "Why don't you take the shower first"
"There's two" I nod and point to myself "Ohhhh"
I roll my eyes and toss Lucy the keys "I think you should take someone with you" Lucy pouts and I look at Judy to see her hesitant "I...I just rather you have someone with you"
"I'll go" Maribel comes in fully dressed "Let's go!"
Lucy sighs but nods and walks out with Maribel. I start to go to the bathroom but stop. This sick feeling washes over me as I hear the front door close. I quickly jog and open the door.
"Hey!" The two turn toward me "On second thought...can you two wait?"
"Yeah" Maribel looks at Lucy "I think that's a good idea too"
Lucy sighs again and walks back into the house. Maribel and I share a look. We had the same feeling I guess. I look back at Lucy as she takes off her shoes.
"What road were you gonna take?" She looks at me confused "Just amuse me"
"The main one we usually do" Lucy looks in thought then nods "Yeah using highway 60"
I nod and she walks away. I hope I didn't just stop her for no reason. I walk upstairs and to the other bathroom. I'll just let time pass with a shower. Those seem to do good.
I grab my wash cloth and strip down. I turn the water on and step in. I turn my phone on and choose some music. Always a good practice area.

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
For love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Singing, singing in the rain
In the rain.
La...
I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
I'm singing, singing in the rain
In the rain
In the rain
I start getting into the next song when I hear a scream. I jump out and wrap myself in a towel. I run downstairs with shampoo still sliding down my head. I stop in the living room and see the news.
'Major accident on highways 60'
"I-I could've died" I share a look with Maribel as Lucy slowly freaks out "I almost died there"
"Why dont we cuddle over here" I watch as Rachel pulls Lucy into her "Mom can you make some tea?"
"Yeah" I look over at a teary eyed Judy "Go to Mari or Holly"
She silently nods and walks away. I walk to the kitchen and work on making tea. Today was supposed to be a nice day at the mall. I guess we all knew something was going to come eventually.
Just really weren't prepared for possible death. I wonder what would've happened if we didn't stop her...I don't think I even wanna wonder about that. Never ever.
I go into the kitchen and make everyone some tea. After they are made I walk back to the living room. I give everyone their cup and sit down. Judy is immediately pressed against me.
I wrap my arm around her and hold her tightly. I look over at the girls and frown. Lucy seems to just be in shock. I can't really blame her though.
What would you do if you saw the high way you were gonna take had a accident? I'd probably be where she is. Thinking of all of the possibilities of being hit. Thinking of all the ways I could've died.
I take a sip of my tea when I hear humming. I turn and look at Rachel. She seems to be confused too. We both look and see it's Santana humming.
-Santana singing-
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise,
We know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show.
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me.
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, uh-huh
Call me when you need a friend
Call me if you ever need a friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me
We all stay silent after. Cuddled in our little groups. No one dares to even make a sound. I hate that this has happened.
All we can do is hope tomorrow is a better day.
