-Chapter 58-
-Judy pov-
It's been a week since Lucy could've been in a wreck. We all have been able to move on...well everyone minus Santana. She hasn't left Lucy's side sense. It's Sunday again and she has Lucy trapped in her arms.
I understand why she is nervous a bit. I am too! But I'm not sticking on top of my daughter and never giving her space. I think it's starting to put stress on them.
Rachel has tried to help but it doesn't work. Santana just makes up an excuse and we just let it happen. Maybe that's the issue. We just let it happen.
I sigh and walk into the office. I go to the desk and pull out a book. I have somethings I'm trying to research. I wanna make sure the house is ok for the baby in New York.
"You look busy" I look up and see Shelby "You ok?"
"Perfect" I look down at the book "Can I help you?"
"Every idea in there is fine" I look up at her with a angry raised eyebrow "You left it open! Then the wind moved the pages and now I'm here! I'm sorry ok?"
"I'll find something for you later" I sigh and close the book "I just don't want the baby to have any issues there"
"Well how about we take care of the one that's here?" Holly walks in with a whimpering Amelia "Where's Rachel?"
"Here" We all jump and turn to see her buried under books "Been reading about parenting"
"That's it!" I stand up "Everyone into the living room!"
I'm followed into the living room. Everyone sits and looks at me. Maribel must have come in after the yelling. Everyone just looks at me confused.
"What's going on?" Maribel looks at the others then me "I don't understand what's happening"
"I'll explain everything!" I turn toward Rachel and Santana "You're probably not going to be a great first time mom! No body is! Shit fucking happens and you can't control it! Like how we couldn't control what happened on the highway! If Lucy had gone yeah I would've been scared shitless! But don't you fucking think it's neither of our faults?! No one can control shit! Fate is fate! Shit happens! Welcome to life girls! I'm tired of all of us feeling sorry for ourselves over all this random ass crap! It's pathetic! Yes life has not been kind but guess what?! We are all still here and we are all helping each other! So please! Just talk it out instead of holding it in! No one will judge you!"
"I'm scared" Santana sighs "I'm scared of losing on of my girlfriends or one of you...I finally feel safe and loved and I don't wanna lost that!"
"We are all here Santana" Lucy turns and cups her face "We are all planning on staying as long as we can"
"I'm scared I'll mess up with the babies" Rachel puts a hand on her stomach "Three kids is a lot...I just don't wanna be a failure"
"Think about me Rachel" We all turn toward Shelby "You were my first baby and I made mistakes! But you've seen me with Beth! You've seen what had happened since we've been reunited! You'll make mistakes the first time! It happens"
"Same with me" Maribel chuckles "I dropped Santana on her head! Your first baby will be like a test run..you just will have three at once! But you'll get the hang of it! You're Rachel berry! You don't let anything stop you"
"I lost Fran at a store" I smile back at the memory before chuckling "I left Lucy in a hotel room once too"
"THAT WASN'T FUNNY!" Lucy pouts "I was left to my own devices and only ate fruit"
"You went back in to watch tv" Lucy looks away and I chuckle "You see Rachel? Stuff will happen! It comes with parenting"
"I understand" Rachel smiles "Thank you"
I see a hand raise "Can I speak?" I look at Holly and nod "I've only been here for a short time but I can honestly say you all are a great and loving family! You've made me feel so..so special! You've made me welcome in your house over the past few weeks! I can't imagine where I'd be right now...probably dead"
"We wouldn't have let you die" Shelby grabs Hollys closest hand "You were on our radar and we would've saved you"
"So are we all good?" Everyone nods "Are we sure there's nothing left to say?"
"I have something actually" Shelby looks at the girls "I have a question...where's Dave been?"
"T..that's a good question" I see everyone nod and look puzzled "He didn't move out did he?"
"You all really don't know?" We turn toward Rachel "He moved in with Sam! He left a note on the fridge!"
"I thought that was a grocery list" I shake my head and look at them "I guess that answers that"
"Oh I got a question!" I look at Maribel "Is it still optional to wear clothes? Cause some days I feel like not and some days I feel like I wanna wear some"
"Yes it's optional" I look at Shelby and smile "Right?"
"Right" she looks nervous and I smirk "No! I already apologized! My throat doesn't feel the best either!"
"You went through a private book" I smirk and tilt my head deviously "Sing on songbird"
Shelby sighs and looks in thought.

"Very good" She rolls her eyes and I walk over to her "You know you love to perform"
She smiles and I feel the calm spread across the room. This is the feeling I love. I just hope it lasts longer than a few weeks.
