The next morning the girls all get up and ready for school, Maribel told them since she would be home that day she would keep the babies. Jose had called in and taken the day off so he could help her and they could wait for Oscar to get there. As they was bring the girls down to put them in the living room Maribel looks at them "I need you home right after school." Santana looks at her after laying Jazalyn down "we have glee today. Our next contest is Saturday." Maribel sighs "you need to come straight home." Quinn nods "one day won't make a difference. I'm sure Mr. Schue will understand since all this is about to go on again. We can just work extra hard the rest of the week." Santana rolls her eyes "fine. Whatever." Quinn turns and looks at her "I am getting so sick of those two words." Carmen looks at Maribel "what times my appointment today?" Maribel looks to the girls and tells her "at 10. One of us will be coming to pick you up." Carmen nods "and going back after wards right?" Maribel nods "yes." As they kiss the girls bye and head to the door Maribel hands them some money "ok remember straight home after school." All three nod and head out the door.
As they pull into the parking lot and park Quinn sighs "I hate this place." Santana laughs "don't we all?" Carmen looks around and see's Casey standing by the doors talking to Tina and Mercedes "your not alone Q." As they head to the doors and into the building they wave at Casey but Carmen ignores her. Once they are going down the hall Quinn ask "you ever gonna talk to her?" Carmen sighs "its hard. I mean I love her and all but she has alot to prove." Santana nods "you need to let her know what she needs to prove or she can't do it. Quinn had to with me." Carmen looks over as they reach their lockers and see's Quinn nodding "and she done all of it. The best thing you can do Carmen is make her prove to you that she isn't after anyone else and only wants to be with you. If you do want to be with her it will be hard to trust her but you can work on that." Carmen shuts her locker and looks over at her but before she can say anything they hear Mr. Schue "nice to see you back Quinn. You guys ready to start rehearsing for sectionals?" Santana sighs and leans against her locker "we have to miss today." Mr. Schue stops and looks at them "ok why? You know we need all the practice we can get." Santana nods "we know but Brittany is getting out tomorrow on probation and we have somethings we need to take care of today after school. We can work harder the rest of the week but today we can't be there."
The teacher looks at them "how is she getting out with what she done to Quinn?" Carmen shrugs "how did she just get three months for it?" The teacher nods "true. Ok you can miss today but we really need you the rest of the week. Sue said that she can loss her morning practice since you guys won your sectional because none of the other schools showed up. I still say she had something to do with that. But anyways we will be having morning and after noon practices starting tomorrow. Be here by 6 in the morning." The three girls nod and watch him leave and then head down the hall to their class. As the morning went on Carmen had went to her appointment and was back by lunch. As they was all sitting down at the glee club table Santana ask "how was it?" Carmen sits back in her chair and pushes her food around her tray "it sucked so bad. I have to go see her 2 times a week. They are afraid that I'll kill myself." Santana looks at her funny "ok why is that?" Carmen shrugs "because I was going to drive home like I was that day." Santana nods and turns back to her food, Quinn on the other hand looks around the table and see's Puck isn't there and looks around the room and see's him in line still.
She stands up and walks over to him, when she gets there she tells him "Puckerman. I need to talk to you." Puck turns and looks at her and sighs "I know. Don't let Carmen get fucked up anymore. San already warned me." Quinn nods "she could of killed her self if she drove home Puck. If she showes up at your house like that again call one of us to come get her. Or don't give her anything. She is like a sister to me Puck, I can't loss her. Promise me you won't let her get like that again around you." Puck looks at her a minute "its her body." Quinn nods "it is but do you know what she has been threw in her life?" Puck shakes his head "no all I know is she was bitching about Casey cheating on her. She hasn't told me anything else." Quinn nods and pulls him to the side and lowers her voice "you repeat a word of this or look at her any differently and I will cut your balls off myself understand?" She see's him nod and swallow hard before looking around and saying "she was raped from the time she was 4 years old till she came to live with us. Her parents kicked her out like trash like mine did. She has had it hard and when she gets down all of that comes back in her head. I know you care about her and think of her as one of your buddies or something so I'm asking you don't let her do it again."
Puck glances over at the table and can see she is kinda down and nods "ok. It won't happen again. If she shows up I'll call you or San. Did that all really happen to her?" Quinn nods "yeah her dad done it." Puck locks his jaw and sighs "he needs to be shot." Quinn nods "I agree. If she ever starts talking to you about just listen to her and be there for her. She seems closer to you then most of the girls." Puck nods "her secrets safe with me." Quinn nods "good. Now go cheer her ass up. She's bringing the whole damn table down." Puck smiles and walks over to the table with Quinn behind him. As lunch went on Santana and Quinn can tell Carmen is feeling better a bit and looks over to see Casey at the cheerio's table watching them. Quinn leans over "she thinks we hate her too." Santana turns and looks at her "what?" Quinn nods her head towards the blond and says "Casey thinks we hate her. I tried telling her we didn't but she just teared up and walked away from me." Santana looks over at the girl then back to Quinn "when did she talk to you?" Quinn sighs "second period. When she seen Carmen walk in she walked away." Santana looks at the time and stands up "be right back." Quinn nods and watches her walk over to the cheerio's table.
As Santana sits down she looks at Casey "Barnes I need to talk to you." Casey looks over at her "what?" Santana can see that she has been crying alot but lets it go "you think Q and I hate you?" Casey nods "yeah because of what I done to Carmen." Santana tilts her head and lowers her voice "Casey I was a cheater too. I did the same thing to Q. Why would I hate you for doing the same thing I done. But I was worse I lied to Q for a while about it." Casey sits back in her chair and sighs "Carmen is your family. I'm not." Santana nods "true but aren't you also a Godmother to Jazalyn? She is our daughter and we didn't take her away from you did we?" Casey looks up at her "no." Santana nods "ok then. We are there for Carmen because of some shit she pulled when you told her. We don't hate you, neither one of us does. But right now we need to be there for Carmen to make sure she is ok." Casey turns in her chair and faces her more "what did she do?" Santana sighs "I can't tell you that. It will be up to her to tell you. But just know we don't hate you and we aren't ignoring you. You can text us and talk to us." Casey nods "ok. I really am sorry for what I done to her." Santana nods "preaching to the chior here chick. I know all to well how sorry you are right now. I was the same way." As Santana stands up she says "can you let your mom know we will be dropping the girls off in the morning. I will try and talke Carmen into letting you ride to school with us."
Casey smiles "you don't need to. I can get dad to bring me." Santana shrugs "I'm going to. If she wants to work this out with you then you have to start somewhere. Right?" Casey nods "right. Alright I will let her know." Santana nods "see you later Casey." Casey nods and watches her walk back to the other table. When Santana sits down Carmen looks at her "she ok?" Santana sighs "honestly?" Carmen nods "yeah honestly." Santana looks at her "no. She is beatting herself. This is eatting her alive because you won't even look at her or say a word to her. I can understand your pissed and hurt but you have to talk to her Carmen. I told her I would ask you if you could bring her to school in the morning when we drop the girls off with her mother." Carmen sighs and looks at them "I need to start someplace huh?" Quinn nods "you do. Even if that is giving her a ride to school till you are ready to talk to her. It will prove to her you don't hate her. And that you're trying." Carmen nods "ok. I can start with that."
As the bell rings they all head to class to finish their day, as the afternoon rolls on Rachel walks up to the three of them at their lockers before last period "exactly why aren't you going to be a practice today? You know we need you three if we want to win." Carmen sighs "we have somethings to take care of." Rachel puts her hands on her hips "what is more important than trying to win nationals?" Quinn shuts her locker and turns to her and shrugs "oh I don't know maybe keeping me and our daughters alive and safe." Rachel looks at her funny "what do you mean?" By then Santana was turned around facing her as well "Brittany is getting out of juvie tomorrow and going on probation. She is still fucking nuts Berry. So we have some shit to take care of ok. I'm sorry but to me Q and our two daughters are more important to me right now." Rachel nods "oh ok. I see. Well when you come back we will just have to work extra hard." Carmen rolls her eyes as the girl walks away "tell me again why we are nice to her?"
Santana laughs as she leads Quinn away "we might not win without her." Carmen nods "oh yeah thats right. Ok see you after class." With that Carmen heads to study hall while the other two head to history. As the last bell rings and they all head back to their lockers Quinn and Santana walk up to see Carmen read "about time you two get here." Quinn looks at her "we was on the other side of the school. You was just down the hall so shut it." Carmen laughs as she waits for them to get their things. As they turn to walk out they run into Casey who says "Oh sorry." She looks at the three of them "not coming to glee today?" Quinn shakes her head "no we have to go do something. We will be here in the morning." Casey nods "see you later." As she looks at Carmen she sighs and says "bye Carmen." Carmen nods "bye." As she walks by and they head to the doors Quinn looks at her "was that so hard?" Carmen nods "yes it was. All I wanted to do was pull her into me and kiss her and hug her. But I can't give into her that easy." Santana nods "I get it. She was most likely feeling the same thing." As they get in the car and back out they look at the time as Santana says "by the time we get there uncle Oscar should be there."
Quinn sighs "this should be interresting." Carmen looks up at her in the mirror "your gonna be fine Q. You'll understand when you see him." Santana nods "he will come off gruff at first but he is just a big teddy bear." Quinn looks at her "easy for you to say." The girls laugh at Quinn as they pull on to their street "look baby if he scares you to much just grab my hand and I will let him know to take it easy ok." Quinn looks at her and sighs "yeah." As they pull into the driveway and head into the house Maribel looks at them "the girls are fed and dressed. Santana, Carmen go change." The girls both nod and Santana takes Quinns bag to put it in there room. Quinn walks over and see's the girls both asleep "was they ok today?" Jose nods "they was fine. I called Frank and told him to come over at lunch and we gave him some money to go get them a swing on his way home from work. He said he would since they love them and Carla will be watching them." Quinn nods "I didn't think about that." Maribel laughs "we didn't either till Jose brought it up." Just then Carmen and Santana come back down as Carmen ask "I thought he was suppose to be here by now?" Jose nods "got delayed this morning. They should be here any time." Santana nods and walks over and picks up Eden "hey baby girl. I missed you." Quinn sighs and looks at Jazalyn "I can't pick her up. I'm pretty sore." Jose nods and picks her up and hands her to her "thanks." Jose nods and sits back down as Quinn loves on the baby.
As they are sitting down with the girls and they each kiss the other baby they hear a knock on the door and Jose goes to answer it. Quinn looks down at the sleeping baby in her arms and sighs "here we go." Santana looks up from Eden "you'll be fine Q." Quinn looks at her and gets a kiss from her when they hear "well now. Not what I expected to see when I walked in." The girls pull apart and look at him as Santana smiles "Hey uncle Oscar." Oscar smiles "hey." Carmen gets up and hugs him "missed you." Oscar kisses her on the top of the head "missed you too. God you are so grown up." Carmen laughs "eight years does that to a kid." Santana stands up next holding Eden and hugs him the best she can "miss you too uncle." Oscar hugs her and looks down at the baby "this must be Eden." Santana nods "yeah." As she turns the points to Quinn "thats Quinn and the one she is holding is Jazalyn." Oscar smiles "Nice to meet you Quinn." Quinn smiles back "nice to meet you as well." As he turns he looks at Maribel "why didn't you call me sooner?" Maribel sighs "I thought we could handle it. But now that we have two babies here and two more on the way, I don't want to risk it." Oscar nods and turns to the door "this is my wife Ava." The woman nods and smiles "nice to meet you all." Everyone smiles and says hello as Santana ask "finally got rid of Jazmine huh?" Oscar nods "yes. After what happened I could stand to look at her."
Quinn looks at Maribel who just shakes her head and she desides to leave it alone for now. As they all sit down Santana sits on the floor between Quinn's feet holding Eden while Carmen sits on the foot stool. Oscar looks at his sister "ok so how many do you need?" Maribel looks at him "like I said lastnight. Just one for eace of us for now." Oscar looks around "so you need 7 for now?" Maribel nods "yes." Oscar looks at her and laughs "well you'll have 12. One for each of you and extra's for watching the house." Maribel sighs "thats to many Oscar." Oscar shakes his head "they will see you but you won't see them." Jose looks at him "what do you mean?" Oscar sits back on the couch "they will have eyes on all of you and the places you are at all times. But you won't see them." Santana looks at him "thats creepy. Do we get to see them so we know who they are?" Oscar nods "yes. I'm going to introduce you to them all." Santana nods "ok good." Oscar looks at Carmen "are you more comfortable with a male or female?" Carmen sighs "female." The man nods "ok then. I have 5 female gaurds I brought incase you three was mor comfortable with them."
As the man stands and walks to the front door and opens it everyone looks up to see 12 people walk in, Quinn takes a deep breath "they look just like everyday people you would see on the streets." Oscar nods "thats the idea." As he looks at each of them he points to a person in the room "Olivia you will be responsible for Carmen over there." Olivia looks over and nods "Carmen." Carmen smirks "Olivia." Oscar shakes his head and moves on "Bristol you will be with Quinn." Quinn looks up at the woman "hi." Bristol looks down at her "hi. You don't have to worry about her coming near you while I'm around." Quinn nods "I hope your right." Oscar smirks and looks at the next female "Dani, you will have my firecracker niece Santana." Santana looks up from her spot on the floor to see the blond "seriously another blond?" Quinn goes to slap her in the head and hears Carmen "one year Q." Quinn sighs and drops her aim to her shoulder "behave." Dani looks at Santana "what did she mean one year?" Santana sighs "I had brain surgery back in January and can't hit my head at all for a year without standing a chance of fucking something up in there again." Dani nods "got it."
Oscar then moves on to the next woman "Sara you have Eden." The woman looks down and ask "which one is Eden?" Everyone points to the baby in Santana's arms "ok. Got it." The next one he says "Val you have Jazalyn." The woman nods "got it." Next he looks at the men "Damien, you have my sister." The man nods "ok." Then he moves to the next one "Henry you are with Jose." The man nods "got it." As he turns to the other he says "the rest of you are to keep an eye on the house and anywhere they go. If they go some where one of you goes with them to help keep an eye on them. You was all told on the plane and showed pictures of the ones that are to stay away from them. If they act like they don't want someone close to them you know their body language so you are then to step in. Everyone understand?" All of them nod and Oscar tells them "you will be staying in the house across the street when you aren't working. You sleep when you can. When the girls are in school you are to be close by." Quinn looks across the street "wait. Mr. and Mrs. Nickles live there." Oscar smiles "they took a vacation." Quinn jerks her head around to Maribel "not that kinda vacation Quinn. They will be back in August. Oscar is renting their house from them for a very expensive price."
Quinn turns and looks at Santana "this is to much. I need to go upstairs." Santana nods "Carmen can you get Jazalyn please?" Carmen nods and gets up to get the baby, once she has her Quinn stands up and walks around everyone and heads up to the bedroom. Santana stands up and turns to Maribel to hand her Eden but hears Oscar "let me Santana." Santana turns to her uncle "don't scare her." Oscar laughs "why would I do that? She is the love of your life right." Santana nods "yeah but she's overwhelmed with all this. Brittany fucked her arm up and now she's trying to deal with it ALL." Oscar nods "I'll talk to her. You sit." With that the man excuses the gaurds and heads up to where he seen the blond go. When he gets to the door he knocks and hears "come in." As he opens the door he see's the girl sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed "oh hi Oscar." The man smiles and walks in and sits on the foot of the bed and looks at her "you ok there blondie?" Quinn looks up at him and smiles "yeah. Don't tell me your going to call me blondie as well."
The man laughs "I take it eveyone else does." Quinn nods "yeah pa and San started it." Oscar nods "I see. So whats bothering you?"Quinn sighs and looks back down at the baby blanket on her lap "everything." The man tilts his head "ok I don't know you like the others do. So can you explain to me what you mean?" Quinn looks up from Jazalyn's blankey and sighs "she almost broke my arm while I was pregnant with Eden. The rest of the time till I got to the ER I never felt her move. I thought she had done something to her when she pushed me against the wall, but then they said she was fine." The man nods and waits for her to go on "that got her sent away and now she is getting out and we have to have gaurds. Its almost to much to handle. I mean I'm all for it if it keeps San and our daughters safe but its alot to take in. I come from a family that didn't give a shit about me. So imagine how hard it is at times to have a family that does care about me." Oscar nods "I understand. Ava was the same way. Her family ignores her because she had a baby out of wedlock when she was 18." Quinn looks up at him "she doesn't look that old now." Oscar smiles "she is 35. Her sone is 17. He will be a senior next year." Quinn smiles "thats kinda cool." Oscar looks at her again "it took him a while to get use to the idea of a guard to but he done it. Its actually saved him a few times.
Quinn looks up at him "are they good at their jobs?" Oscar nods "the best actually thats why I brought them. My sister told me about each of your personalities and I matched you according to that. If you guys aren't happy with a gaurd let me know and I will switch them out." Quinn nods "ok. So they will protect our daughters like their life depends on it?" Oscar smiles "they would take a bullet for them and you. You mean alot to my niece Quinn so that means you will get the same protection she does. You plan on marrying her right?" Quinn nods "yes as soon as I can actually." The man smiles again "they you will get the same treatment that she and Carmen get. When was you two planning on getting married?" Quinn sighs again "as soon as we can but we have to get a judge in New York to ok before we can. Ma and Pa said they would sign the papers for us but finding a judge to ok it will be hard." Oscar looks at her "what kinda judge would you need?" Quinn looks at him again "a family judge." Oscar smiles "I have some people that I know. Let me see what I can do."
Quinn smile's "you would do that for us? With us only being 15?" The man nods "love know no age. And when you two look at each other you can see it in your eyes. You maybe young but you are both mature for your age." Quinn laughs "thank you." Oscar nods "welcome. So what do you say you come back down and join us?" Quinn nods and stands up and looks at him a moment then hugs him "thank you." Oscar hugs her back and kisses her on the top of the head as well "your welcome Quinn." With that they head back down the stairs, once they are back Santana laughs "he isn't so scarey is he?" Quinn smiles "no." Carmen laughs this times "see worried about nothing." Quinn rolls her eyes and sits beside Carmen on the foot stool "give me my kid you ass." Carmen laughs and hands the baby over as Oscar says "ok I want to hold them. Which one do I get first?" Santana looks at him as he sits down beside her "you can hold Eden first since she's right here." Oscar smiles and takes the baby "oh you are gonna be a heart breaker when you get older little one." Quinn smiles as she watches the man interact with her daughter, after a bit Quinn hands Jazalyn to Carmen to take to Oscar "oh make Carmen bring her to me huh?" Quinn smiles "sorry my stomach is still hurting. Pa it feels like they're pulling."
Jose nods "ok lets go take them out then." Ava looks at the girl "whats pulling dear?" Quinn looks at her then to Santana who is nodding and then lifts her shirt to show Ava and Oscar "my staples." Oscar looks at the girls stomach then narrows his eyes "she responsible for that?" Quinn nods "San can explain it while I go get them taken out." With that Santana starts to explain everything to them as Quinn fallows Jose up to the bedroom. When they walk in he looks at Quinn "let me get my kit out of my bag. Go ahead and lay down and pull your shirt up." Quinn nods and does it "shouldn't we of done this at the hospital or your office?" Jose smiles "I can put it in your chart tomorrow when I go in." As he sits down beside her he looks at her "so you ok now?" Quinn nods and looks at him "yeah. Oscar talked to me and I'm good now." Jose nods as he starts to take the staples out "thats good." Quinn looks up at him then ask "did I count them right? Is there 38 total?" Jose nods "39 actually. There is 4 in the stab wound." Quinn nods "oh ok. Well I was close." Jose laughs "yeah you was close. It looks good actually." Quinn looks at him "still nothing more than holding the babies and walking with them?" Jose smiles "no sex till Dr. Hall gives you the ok." Quinn blushes "that wasn't what I ment. I ment can I bend over and pick them up now?" Jose looks at the girls stomach "I would like you keep doing what your doing for at least another week then we will see ok."
Quinn sighs "I hate not being able to pick them up out of bed." Jose nods "I know blondie but if you do it to soon you could tear something in there and I don't want to have to cut you open again." Quinn looks at him "me either. The first time sucked." Jose laughs "yes it did." As he gets done he tells her "ok let me clean the holes that was left and I will be done with you." Quinn nods "can I at least take a bath now? I mean I love the shower but I like to soak in the tub sometimes." Jose nods "yeah thats fine. I'll look at you again next week and see how your healing ok." Quinn nods and sits up when he is done "alright." As she pulls her shirt down and looks at him "can I keep those?" Jose looks at her funny then shrugs and puts them in a baggy "if you want." Quinn nods "I do." As she takes them and heads out the door she says "I have a reason." Jose just nods and watches her head up to her room. As he walks out he see's her coming back done and they head back to the livingroom together.
