Since we're 'grounded' at the moment, I give you a one shot inspired by that, unless further inspired it will stay a one shot.
New York/Lima
"I wish you were here or I was there." Rachel frowned at the screen, she was stuck in New York while he was back home in Lima.
"I know." Finn nodded giving her a sad smile. "But I know my brother and Blaine will take care of you."
"We will, hi Finn." Kurt appeared over Rachel's shoulder giving a smile as he sat down a glass of orange juice by her. "It's organic."
"Hi Kurt." Finn chuckled as Kurt disappeared as fast as he'd appeared, when it was just Rachel on screen he said "I checked on your dads, they're doing okay. I checked both their cars and mowed the lawn for them."
"I know, they told me, thank you Finn." Rachel smiled "I know you're busy with your students and taking care of the shop for Burt..." Rachel's smile dropped "I just wish I was there to help out."
"Hey don't worry about it, besides you'd be grounded here too, you're pregnant." Finn reminded.
"He keeps kicking me." Rachel dropped her hand to rest on her belly leaning closer to the lap top Rachel whispered. "They're driving me crazy, I thought they'd be too busy with the new baby but no, they keep checking on me, asking if I need to nap or a drink."
Finn chuckled. "That's their nephew and you know Kurt, he's excited that their baby will have a cousin so close in age."
"I just got Hepburn down for her nap." Blaine walked behind Rachel, pausing he smiled at the lap top camera "Hi Finn, don't worry we're taking good care of Rachel."
"I know, I trust you guys."
Giving a wave Blaine headed for the kitchen, "I have a new vegan recipe for you to try Rachel."
"Thank you." Rachel smiled in the direction he'd disappeared in before hissing at a laughing Finn "See. Save me."
"It won't last forever." Finn promised.
"It's already lasted too long." Rachel pouted.
"I know, I love you Rachel."
"I love you too Finn, I'll call you tonight before I go to sleep." she promised.
"Okay, bye." Finn gave a little wave.
"Bye." Rachel blew him a kiss before hanging up.
New York
"Sweetie you have to wear pants." Santana shook her head mumbling "Not a phrase I thought I'd ever say." as she picked up a small pair of jeans "Shit." grabbing the discarded clean diaper Santana shook her head calling "Quinton Michael you are not a stripper!"
Hearing "Mom! The baby's naked again!" Santana headed for the dining room where Beth was trying to do her homework.
"I know I have him." Amused and just as tired as the Latina in front of her Quinn held the tan toddler in her arms "So who was the stripper as a baby you or Brittany?"
"Me!" Brittany called from the kitchen.
"I swear to..." Santana glared at the boy taking him from Quinn, "Imma put your little ass in overalls." Quinn laughed when the toddler unaffected by the glare gave Santana a sloppy kiss "Too late to suck up now." Santana said heading back for the baby's bedroom.
"Almost finished?" Quinn asked brushing her hand over Beth's hair, the ten year old nodded. "Okay, don't forget your dad and Lauren are calling tonight."
"Okay."
Without saying anything Brittany slid by the other blondes leaving a plate with a sandwich and chips on the table next to Beth "Thanks B." Quinn smiled, Brittany nodded going to find Santana and the baby.
"When's Sam coming home?" Beth looked up at her mom.
"Soon, I hope." Quinn said honestly. "Honey do you understand what's going on?"
Beth thought for a second "A lot of people got sick, people got scared, they bought toilet paper and we all got grounded until people stop getting sick."
"Close enough." leaning Quinn kissed the top of Beth's head.
"Are you scared Mommy?"
"No." Quinn shook her head. "Because I know we'll be okay."
"I heard Tia Tana say she was scared." Beth whispered.
"She's worried about her dad, he's a doctor remember," Quinn sat next to Beth, Beth nodded "that's why she calls him every morning and her Mami too."
"Is he going to be alright?"
"He's doing everything he can not to get sick." Quinn promised.
"Quinn! Grab him!"
Laughing Quinn stood up scooping the running toddler, wiggling in her arms he squeaked "No pantses! No, no, no."
"Little fucker's fast." Santana hurried into the dining room overalls in hand.
"San!" Brittany scolded.
"I mean, the precious angel can really haul ass." Santana said sweetly making Quinn laugh, rolling her eyes Santana asked "Hold him out while I get his overalls on." Reaching out Santana snapped the onesie before slipping the pant legs on his wiggling legs.
"No Mami! No pantses!"
"Yes pantses." Santana said pulling them up and hooking the overalls before taking the pouting toddler from Quinn. "Thanks Q."
"No problem." Quinn chuckled sitting back down.
Kentucky
"How're they doing?" Sam asked his mom as they unloaded groceries onto the kitchen table.
"I sent them out back to play catch with your father." when she saw his mouth open Mary Evans explained to her oldest child "I have dad set up on a stool, he's not standing."
"Oh...okay." Sam nodded.
"They were fighting over the game system you got them for Christmas so I told them to go play, Dad's out there making sure they don't kill each other." Mary chuckled, her youngest two were so close in age in caused a lot of fights between the duo. "Thank you for helping out Sam."
"You're welcome." he shrugged. "I'll take Dad to the doctor tomorrow so you can stay here, I don't want you going out unless you have to."
"You just want to make sure your father and I aren't lying if we tell you he's getting better."
Busted Sam shrugged "I know you'll say he's better just so I'll go home but you need me and Quinn understands that, and we have no problem covering the bills, Dad just needs to rest and not push it."
"It's not his first broken bone Sammy." his mom reminded.
"I know but he's not a kid anymore and a broken leg at his age can have complications." Sam sighed "Just let me help Mom."
"Alright Sammy, but if they say he's doing fine you go home to Quinn, deal?"
"Deal." Sam nodded smiling at his mom. "I'll take care of dinner, I got everything for a chef salad."
Mary Evans laughed "Your father and your brother love you but can't wait for you to leave, Stevie wants a sloppy joe and Dad wants barbecued ribs."
Sam laughed "It's not going to hurt them to eat healthy for a couple weeks."
