"What do you mean you don't know if its permanent?!" Santana yelled at the doctor
"Miss Lopez please try to understand" The doctor said trying to reason with her
"Understand?! I'll help you understand!" Santana said launching at the doctor but Finn caught her on time.
"Santana please!" Finn yelled pushing her back a bit "You need to calm down. Yelling at him wont solve anything."
"As I was explaining, Rachel seems to have a concussion. From her injuries we were able to tell she was slammed into a wall. Her head must have bounced back, how many times? We aren't sure. The test shows a mild concussion, it is likely that that is causing her memory loss. How long would it take for her to recover? We can't determine that. It's up to her brain now to see if she wants to remember or not. I suggest to keep everything as normal as possible. There could possibly be other things she many not remember only time will tell." The doctor said
"How long do you believe this will last?" Kurt said
"There have been cases where the patient have recover in weeks or months. Like I said its up to her on how she wants to recover. Now due to her broken ribs we suggest someone stays at home with her for the mean time."
"She'll be staying with me." Santana said causing Finn and Kurt to agree with her.
"Very well then. I have somethings to discuss in her recover please follow me." Santana nodded and followed the doctor.
"I'll call her dad's let them know whats going on. Stay with her Finn and please don't cause trouble."
"Will do little brother." Finn said smiling. As soon as Kurt walked around the corner Finn took out his cell phone. "Mike! I need you to round up the guys, we have a couple of things to take care of. Meet you at Rachel's apartment in an hour."
"Who was that?" Santana said walking up to him
"No one. Um what did the doctor say?"
Santana eyed him suspiciously. "He just wanted a bit of information and he gave me pain medications for Rachel. Said they will keep her in observation a few more hours before she can go home."
"Home right. Should I go and get her some cloths since the ones she has are bloody….." Finn said anxiously
"Finn whatever you're up to stop. But yeah bring her some cloth and pack her a bag since she'll be staying with me. I'll stay with her tonight."
"Cool see you soon then." Finn said walking away really fast
"Do you know what the hell Finn is up to?" Santana said to Kurt who had a panic face on
"I think we have bigger problems than Finn." Kurt said looking over his shoulder
"What is up your butt Lady Hummel?"
"Quinn!"
"What about Quinn?"
"She's here!"
"What?"
"Hey guys." Santana and Kurt turned around to see Quinn standing there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Santana said anger
"I heard what happened, I wanted to see how Rachel was." Quinn said proceeding to Rachel's room
"What makes you think she wants to see you?" Santana said blocking her pathway
"Back off Santana! This has nothing to do with you"
"Of course it has everything to do with me! This is all your fault Quinn. If you would have stayed away like you promised she wouldn't be here. You have no right to worry about her. All of this, all of this pain is your fault. Every misfortune in her life has been you for the past 4 years."
"You don't understand Santana! I know what I'm doing! So please let me see her."
"No! I won't, don't you see Quinn this happened to her because you won't walk away. Because there's always something pulling her to you. You need to cut that rope Q. Let her be happy with someone else.
"Someone like you? Oh come on Santana I know you love her, that you feel something for her."
"That isn't your business!."
"Isn't it? The need to keep us apart…."
"Don't you get it Quinn! Its you, only you that has kept each other apart. Aren't you tried of this? Tired of hurting her."
"I don't like what I've become without her, I didn't think it was possible to love someone to much. But with her it was different and I messed up. I gave up to easily."
"Your married Quinn. You choose another life that doesn't involve her anymore. I think its best if you leave Quinn." Kurt said stepping in-between Santana and Quinn
"Did you tell her Q?" Santana said "Did you tell her your pregnant? Is that why she was there at your hotel today?
"I don't know what your talking about?" Quinn said
"Please anyone with a brain can see the weight you've put on. It's Rachel's baby right?"
"What are you talking about?" Kurt said confused
"Tell him how you slept with Rachel a month before your wedding. How you probably choose Biff to be the father?"
"Shut up Santana! You have no idea what your talking about!"
"You know I do! You know what Quinn…."
"Both of you shut up!" Kurt yelled "I won't stand here and listen to this! Quinn you need to leave now and you Santana need to shut up about what you know. Rachel is in a vulnerable state right now. Her dads on own their way and its best they don't see you Quinn. Please just go."
"Fine. Just tell her I came to see her okay." Quinn said
Santana and Kurt watched Quinn leave and they both sighed.
Kurt turned to Santana and raised his hand to stop her from talking. "You can't go around saying that Santana."
"You don't understand Kurt…"
"I do understand and I know its frustrating that all of these things are happening to Rachel right now. But we can't get aggressive and start pointing fingers Rachel is just as much guilty as Quinn. I know what I'm about to say may sound selfish and completely wrong, but we need to use this to our advantage."
Santana looked at him with a confused face "Don't understand Hummel, where are you going with this?"
Kurt sighed "We tell no one that Rachel doesn't remember Quinn. We keep this to ourselves; We keep everything normal. Let's hope she remembers her fathers."
"Do you really think that would work?"
"I really hope so Santana."
"Why did you call us her Finn? Its nearly midnight" Sam said yawning
"Okay something happened today which I can't talk about." Finn said "Stupid kurt"
"I don't understand? Why are we at Rachel's apartment?" Mike said
"We are spring cleaning boys." Finn said opening the door.
"Do you think he might have smoked something?" Mike said whispering to Sam
"Most likely."
"No I didn't smoke anything. I just.." Finn sighed "Look something happened to Rachel tonight and I feel like this might actually help her."
"Okay your being weird. But we'll help we always do." Blaine said
"Yeah Blaine is right what do you need us to do?" Artie said
Finn walked into the closet next to the kitchen and the guys looked at each other confused. After a few minutes he came out with a whole stake of cardboard boxes. He dropped them to the floor and looked up at the guys. "We're going to cleanse this house of any memory of Quinn Fabray."
Puck chuckled "What the hell man?"
"Your crazy Finn." Sam said
"Okay okay It may sound a little insane but we have to do this for Rachel. She doesn't have the heart to get rid of half of this stuff. Lets just say its like a little push to her nice speedy recovery."
"Yeah after she kills us for touching her stuff." Mike said
"Trust me she won't even notice. Come on Please!."
"Fine. But if I find any sexy underwear I'm taking" Puck said picking up a cardboard box and heading to the bedroom.
All the guys grumbled and fussed but eventually headed in different directions leaving Finn in the living room. He sighed "God I really hope this works."
"Tell me why Finn was here all suspicious dropping off Rachel's cloths. He wouldn't even look me in the eye." Santana said dropping Rachel's bag by the hospital bed
"After all these years I've learned not to ask when he looks suspicious, we might end up dead." Kurt said not looking up from a fashion magazine on the couch
After a few moments of silence they heard a chuckle coming from the bed. They both looked up to Rachel with her eyes close and a smile on her face. Santana was the first to get up and check on her. "Your suppose to be sleeping." Santana said
"The silence in this room is killing me. Its giving me headaches." Rachel said sitting up a little "When can I get out of here this place looks dead." Rachel chuckled "Get it hospital…dead Ha classic" Rachel said looking at Santana who had a straight face. "Tough crowd."
Kurt chuckled "You have no idea"
There was a knock at the door. "Knock Knock little star" LeRoy said walking in with his husband
"Daddy. Father. What are you doing here? I thought you were away for a few more days." Rachel said
"I was, but Kurt inform us about what happened and I immediately jumped on a plane to come see you sweet heart. How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine really. I just want to get out of here." Rachel said crossing her arms
"What does the doctors say?" Hiram said standing next to the door
Kurt looked at Santana waiting for her to say something. "Um well she has a couple broken ribs and a mild concussion and her broken nose but other then that she's okay."
"You will be coming home with us sweet heart we will talk at home about how to proceed with this." LeRoy said
Santana immediately jumped in "Um no!" She said causing the both men to look at her "I thought it would be best if she came home with me. You know keeping everything simple for her."
"Yeah I think it would be best. I'll be there so you know she'll be fine" Kurt said with a smile
The both men looked at each other and agreed. "Your right. Having Santana and kurt with you will be good. I need to to stay out of trouble baby girl." LeRoy said
"Kurt I would like to speak with you outside please." Hiram said with a stern look. Kurt looked back at Santana and nodded following Hiram outside
"Sweetie I'll go speak to the doctor see when you can go home" LeRoy said walking out of the room.
Rachel watched her dads walk out of the room, it hurt her that Hiram didn't ask how she was. She knows that their relationship is rocky but she doesn't understand why. She sighed and laid back in to the bed.
From across the room Santana was watching Rachel conflict with herself. This was the longest they have been alone since the night before. They haven't really had the chance to talk, but now Santana doesn't even know if they should. What if Rachel didn't remember the night before? Or worse what if she didn't want to be friends because of what happened.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Rachel looked up at Santana who was using her phone. "I really am sorry" Rachel said quietly
Santana looked up with a confused look. "What are you talking about?"
"I should have stayed with you last night. I shouldn't have left. Maybe I wouldn't be here trying to remember what happened with me."
"Whats the last thing you remember?" Santana said walking up to
"Leaving your apartment after you walked into the bedroom." Rachel said looking down
"Hey its okay we'll talk about that later." Santana said "What about Quinn? Do you remember going to see her?"
"No I don't I mean I think I know what she looks like, but no connection I don't understand why."
"Its okay. What about our friends? Sam? Mike? Tina? Do those name ring the bell?"
"Yeah Sam I know who he is. Fish lips" Rachel said with a chuckle "But Mike no I don't remember or Tina. Oh Puck he's jewish like me"
Santana chuckled "Got that right" She didn't ask Rachel anymore question she could tell that she was getting frustrated because she couldn't remember. She grabbed the chair and sat it next to the bed so she could be closer to Rachel. She grabbed Rachel's hand and started scratching it up and down, she knew that calmed Rachel down a bit. She noticed a tattoo on Rachel's wrist that she's never seen before, well of course she wouldn't have seen it, Rachel only ever wore dress shirts. She traced her fingers on it trying to make out what it was.
"I lost the bracelet." Rachel said "I think it was when Finn and I went to Cancun."
"Why didn't you tell me." Santana said still tracing the tattoo
"I thought you would kill me, because it meant so much to you."
"Why did you get it tattooed?"
"Because it meant so much to me too." Rachel said causing Santana to look at her "I remembered what it looked like and I drew it for the tattoo guy. He charged me extra" Rachel chuckled
"I gave it to you when we first met." Santana said softly
"I know. When I was getting my head checked out at the hospital. You had an awesome Panda sweater." Rachel said getting a glare from Santana
"I thought you forgot!"
"Never. It was the only time I saw the infamous Santana with an animal sweater on."
"You had on a stupid Reindeer sweater."
"Your just mad I had a better sweater than you."
"Oh please." Santana said rolling her eyes. "Do you remember how we met?"
"Yeah you were at the park on the swings crying because your grandma had died and you were upset because you had to move away from her."
"You remember."
"I was with Finn Kurt and Sam. We were flying Sam's new toy plane and I wasn't paying attention because I kept looking at you and I got hit in the face."
Santana laughed "Oh god I can't believe that happened."
"I got a bruise on my head, but I didn't care. I just wanted to know where you got that panda sweater"
"Oh shut up!"
Rachel laughed "You stayed with me while I was at the hospital."
8 year old Rachel Berry was in the park with her three best friends, they wanted to try out the new toy air plane Sam got for his birthday.
"Quit staring at the freak Rach." Said Finn
"She's not a freak! We don't even know her. She must be new or something."Rachel said
"Do you think she'll want to play with us?" Sam said inspecting his toy plane
"Where are you going?" Kurt yelled after Rachel
"I'm going to talk to her." Rachel said
Rachel marched all her way to the new girl that was sitting on the swings as she got close her pace slowed down a bit. She got nervous because the new girl seemed to be crying.
"Hi" Rachel said quietly as she took a sit on the other swing
"Hi" The new girl said sniffling
"May I ask why your crying?"
The new girl shook her head no and started crying harder. "Don't cry." Rachel said "Pretty girls like you should not be crying."
The new girl looked up. "You think I'm pretty."
"Well of course! Every girl is pretty, even when they are crying."
"My name's Santana" She sniffled "I'm new here."
"Thats a beautiful name." Rachel said smiling
"Whats your name?" Santana said looking at Rachel
"Berry. Rachel Berry." She said with a smirk
Santana chuckled a bit. "I like your name." She said looking down at the bracelet on her wrist
"Thats a really nice bracelet, who gave it to you?"
"My grandma….She's dead." Santana said as she started to cry again
"Oh.. oh god I'm so sorry…. I didn't know." Rachel said looking down
"She was my best friend and now..now she's dead."
"I know its hard… but she's um she's up there looking after you. You know keeping you safe."
"But she left me all alone. I have no one anymore."
"You have me! I can be your friend." Rachel said excitedly
"Would you really?"
"Of course. I'll always be your friend."
"Thank You." Santana said whipping her tears
Rachel reached out to wipe some of Santana's tears too "I Promise i'll never leave you alone either so you don't ever have to cry."
Santana looked up to Rachel and smiled, they kept looking at each other. A few minutes passed by and neither of them noticed the small airplane heading right towards them. Finn and Kurt started yelling to get Rachel's attention but she wouldn't bug. Sam was trying to get control of his airplane but the control wasn't responding. All three of them just watched as the airplane was heard straight to Rachel.
Rachel couldn't help but stare at Santana she had really pretty eyes. She was ready to say something, but before she could say anything a small airplane hit her on the side of her face close to her eyes. It hit her so hard that it knocked her off the swing onto the ground.
Santana watched in horror as the plane hit Rachel on the side, she quickly rush to her side to see if she was okay. "Oh god are you alright?" She kneed down next to Rachel who had a bit of bleeding from her head.
The guys made it down the hill to see if she was alright. "Rachel! You okay? Quick someone call her dad!" Finn yelled as he kneed down next to her.
Rachel blacked out for a few moments and when she woke up she looked over to Santana.
"Are you okay?" Santana said holding her head
"Thats a pretty badass panda sweater. Where did you get it?" Rachel said causing Santana to look at the guys who started laughing. She looked down at Rachel and chuckled too.
Santana couldn't stop laughing as they remember the story. "Best moment of my life, who knew that Rachel Berry would fall for me when I first met her."
"Oh please! The way you rushed to me its pretty much seems you fell for me!" Rachel said leaning closer to Santana
Santana gave Rachel a glare, but then her face soften. Rachel noticed that. "Why the face changed?"
"You kept your promise. After all these years you've kept your promise."
"Of course I did. I never want to break it." Rachel said reaching for her hand
"I promise I'll help you though this Rachel, I wouldn't leave you alone."
"You don't have to promise me anything. I already know you'll always be with me."
"Always" Santana said
Rachel kept staring at her and Santana started blushing because of the way Rachel was looking at her. She watched Rachel lean in close to her and she couldn't help but lean in close.
Rachel was inches away from Santana's face, she brushed some hair out of Santana face. "Rachel…." Santana whispered
"I know.." Rachel whispered
Santana gripped Rachel's hospital gown and licked her lips. "You can kiss me if you want too." Santana whispered
"I want too."
Rachel closed the gap between them and kissed her. It was slowly and steady, no pressure just pure passion. Santana let a breath out as she pulled Rachel closer for a deeper kiss. She ran her tongue over Rachel's lips asking for permission that Rachel granted her. Rachel kept pulling her close, she wanted more of Santana, so much more. They kept kissing for a few more minutes before Santana pulled away for some air. Rachel groaned at the lost of contact. She opened her eyes and saw Santana staring back at her biting her lips.
"Say something." Santana said
"I..I want more." Rachel said smiling
