Disclaimer: I own nothing

a/n: So…hello everyone! Thanks for the reviews, follows and favorite alerts! You guys are awesome. Some of you have been inquiring about the location of our favorite couple…um I still don't know where I want them to be, which is sad because I'm going to be wrapping this story up within the next few chapters. I'll have to work on getting you guys a answer for that.

But anyway…thanks for all the love! Enjoy!

"Yes!"

"Yes?"

"Yes." Rachel rolls her eyes and pushes Santana back onto the bed. "But…"

"But?"

"But are you sure?" Rachel straddles Santana. "You'll be stuck with me."

Santana smirks while running her hands up and down Rachel's bare thighs. "On second thought…ow!" Santana cries out when Rachel pinches her side. "I was kidding!"

"Stop pouting. You'll be okay." Rachel leans down to peck Santana's lips before climbing off of her.

"Where you going?" Rachel has wrapped a sheet around her naked form and is picking up her cell phone.

"I have to call Marley." Rachel's grinning. "Now she can have the apartment to herself. She's going to freak out." And with that Rachel flees the room to go talk to her sister.

Santana has just asked Rachel to move in with her. Rachel was totally surprised. Yes things have been going great with them, but this is Santana she is dealing with here, the same Santana that it took months to admit that they were more to each other than a quick hook up. So having Santana gush about how much she missed her while she was away making her album before asking her to move in with her, was unexpected. But Rachel loves it anyway. Moving in might be a big step but Rachel has to admit it is a step she's been thinking about since the last time she left town and came back. She didn't bring it up because she didn't think Santana was ready to take that step.

Rachel is happy to be back from New York. It was fun but if she's being honest, she missed Santana too much to really enjoy anything outside of making music. That's why most of her nights and any downtown was spent on the phone with Santana. So she's super happy Santana wants to live together because living apart wasn't going to work much longer.

"I'm so excited."Rachel gushes into the phone.

"Ugh why?" Marley response. "You guys basically have been living together already. I mean you've been back home for four days now and I have seen you at your actual apartment a total of two hours and thirty minutes."

The fact that her sister can't see her doesn't stop Rachel from rolling her eyes. "Shut up. You should be happy for me. For us."

"Oh I am." Marley sounds a little more excited. "I'm jotting down some ideas of how I'm going to decorate once your crap is out of here."

"Whatever."

"This show is so stupid." Rachel complains from behind Santana's couch. Well…their couch now. Rachel and Santana have been living together for two weeks now. Sadly to say, Marley was right, it's not that much different than before. Rachel just brought her favorite lay-z boy chair, some pictures, dishes, clothes and shoes. Everything else she left for her sister.

Things have been working out just fine for them. They already know each other's habits and schedules. Rachel has gone back to working at the record store; she still works with the studio when she has to. They are putting the final touches onto the bands album. Rachel is super excited but she's also grateful for the downtown because it gives her more time to spend with Santana. Santana who watches weird shows. Like right now she's in the middle of an episode of Shameless.

"Hey," Santana barley glances away from the TV to greet her girlfriend. "This is some funny shit. Those kids are bad as hell. See!" Santana laughs out loud while pointing at the TV. "Uhh good shit."

"You like the weirdest things." Rachel flops down next to Santana on the couch.

"And people." Santana smirks over at Rachel. "How was work, babe."

Rachel shrugs. "It was…work." Rachel rests her head on Santana's shoulder. "I missed you though."

"Yeah." Santana pauses her show. "Want to show me how much?" Rachel tries not to laugh when Santana grabs her boob and nods toward their bedroom.

"You know what?" Santana raises an eyebrow at the question. "I do…" they share a quick kiss. "But first I want to take you out to dinner."

"Dinner." Santana grins, "Sounds good."

"Look at me Tana!"

Santana feels like her heart has stopped as she watches Beth jump from kitchen counter. Yeah it's not the high up but Beth is just a little kid and the floor is hard. Santana has told her time and time again not to play in the kitchen or jump off things. 'I don't want you hurting yourself' Santana would say. But Beth is a kid so of course she doesn't listen all the time.

So now Santana is pacing in the hospital waiting area, waiting for Quinn to come out and let her know how Beth is. Santana called Quinn and Rachel while she was on her way to the hospital with a screaming Beth. Santana's pretty sure the kid broke her arm. Knowing that Santana was with Beth and wouldn't call unless it was an emergency, Quinn answered right away. Rachel on the other hand was harder to get in touch with. She's at the studio today going over legal stuff with the record label so she probably has her phone off or on silent so she won't get distracted.

"How is she?" Santana rushes over to Quinn when she sees Quinn come into the waiting area. "She okay? Can I see her?" Santana is shaking, tears still coming down her face.

"Santa..."

"Fuck Quinn." Santana breaks out into sobs. "I…she was right there and I…" She gets so chocked up that she can't speak. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Quinn says calmly while pulling her best friend into her arms. "These things happen."

Santana just lets her best friend hold her while she cries. Seeing Beth hit the floor and hearing her cries broke Santana's heart.

"Santana!" Rachel rushes into the waiting area. "Quinn is Beth okay? What happened?" Rachel asks frantically. Santana voice mail was all over the place. Santana was crying and rambling something about Beth and the hospital. That's all Rachel was able to make out over all the crying.

"Baby what happened?"Rachel rubs Santana's back. Santana's still in Quinn arms.

"Beth jumped off the kitchen counter and broke her arm." Quinn informs Rachel. "Santana is just freaked out. Beth is going to be okay."

"I should have been paying more attention." Santana pulls away from Quinn. "I'm sorry."

"Shut up Santana." Quinn rolls her eyes. "She's a kid. Stuff happens. I know that you wouldn't just sit back and let something happen to Beth. I'm not mad."

Santana nods and let Rachel pull her down into a chair while they wait for Quinn to go get Beth who is getting her arm put into a cast.

After Beth comes out, Santana snatches her up and demands that Beth never scares her like that again. Beth convinces Rachel to take her to get ice cream. So they all go to an ice cream shop before going to their homes for the night.

"Beth is too adorable." Rachel comments while they are getting ready for bed.

"Yeah." Santana says, half listening.

"You okay?" Rachel slides into bed next to her girlfriend.

"Hmmm…"

"Beth's okay, Santana. Stop beating yourself up over it."Rachel says leaning over to kiss Santana cheek.

Santana nods and gives Rachel a little smile. "I know."

Rachel chuckles to herself. "Oh my god. You're so going to cry every time our kids get a little bump and cry on their first day of school. aren't you?"

Santana grins thinking about having a mini Rachel or Santana running around. "Yeah. I'm totally going to be that parent."

"You are so backwards." Rachel shakes her head with a smile. "But I love you."
