Here is Chapter 6! It's pretty short, but I should have Chapter 7 up tonight or tomorrow! Enjoy!
*I do not own Glee, or anything affiliated with Glee*
About 8:30 am Friday morning, Dani was discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home. Dani was still drowsy and pretty out of it from all the medicine, so when her and Santana got back to her apartment she went straight to her bedroom.
"What about work? I need to call Gunther." Dani said as Santana tucked her into bed.
"I'll take care of everything. I just want you to worry about getting all the rest you can, okay?" Dani nodded. "I'll be in the living room if you need anything."
Santana went to the living room to make a couple of phone calls. She called Gunther first and told him what happened. He cleared Dani off the schedule for the next week, and generously gave Santana off 4 days when he found out Dani didn't have family here to help take care of her.
Reluctantly, she called Rachel and Kurt. She didn't want them to freak out when neither girl showed up at work, so she explained everything that happened the night before. Of course they were both hysterical, asking tons of questions, and insisting on coming over when Dani was feeling better. Santana reassured them everything was okay before hanging up the phone.
Santana had been awake since 10:30 am yesterday, and had only slept about 3 hours since then. She was physically and mentally drained. After she made all the necessary phone calls, she found a couple of pillows and a blanket and made herself comfortable on the couch. She was asleep in no time.
A little while later, Dani woke up feeling some discomfort. She checked the clock and saw it was one in the afternoon. It was time for her to take another pain pill, and she was feeling hungry. She shuffled into the kitchen and saw Santana curled up on the couch. She looked so cute when she slept. Dani took her medicine and started shuffling through her cabinets trying to find something to eat.
"What do you think you're doing?" Dani heard Santana ask sleepily from the couch.
"I needed more medicine...and I'm starving. Do you want some soup?" Dani smiled, acting like she didn't know she was in trouble.
"Ohh hells no. I told you to wake me up if you needed anything. You go back to bed, and I'll bring you food." Santana said pointing to the bedroom.
"Fine," Dani groaned as she slowly walked back to her bedroom. She hated relying on someone to take care of her, but she had to admit it was nice having Santana around.
Santana made two bowls of chicken noodle soup, and grabbed two bottles of water from the refrigerator and took them to Dani's bedroom. She handed one of each to Dani, and took a seat on the bed.
"Thank you, Santana." Dani said leaning over to give Santana a kiss.
"I'll make you food all the time if I can get more of those." Santana grinned. Dani just rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"What time do you have to work today?" Dani questioned.
"I'm off until Tuesday, and you're off until next Friday."
"Santana! You didn't have to take all those days off! I don't want you getting into trouble."
"Relax, it was Gunther's idea. I only wanted two days, but he gave me four. He was really cool about the whole thing." Santana said eating more of her soup. "Plus, what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't take care of you?"
"About that..." Dani started. "I didn't mean to spring that on you. I hope you're okay with it. Of course I am, but I mean if you don't-" Dani was cut off with a kiss.
"Of course I want to be your girlfriend." The two smiled at each other and went back to eating.
They finished their soup in quiet and Santana went to the kitchen to do the dishes. When she went back into the bedroom, she could tell Dani's medicine had kicked in. Her eyes were heavy and she looked drowsy.
"I'm going to lay down on the couch. If you need anything, yell for me this time." Santana said going back into the living room.
"Santana," Dani said, waiting for her to reappear in the bedroom. When she came back in she tapped the other side of her bed. "Lay in here with me. Please?" Dani pouted.
Santana couldn't say no to that face. Not that she would ever turn down laying in bed with Dani. She crawled in the bed next to Dani, and scooted her front up to Dani's back just short of contact. Dani wasn't having it. She scooted her body back against Santana's and pulled one of Santana's arms around her waist. It wasn't long before Dani dozed off. Santana lied there for a while just watching Dani's chest rise and fall. She was so beautiful. Her hair, her soft skin, and her beautiful body. Santana felt her eyelids grow heavy again, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Sorry it was so short, but I promise a new Chapter will be up soon! Thanks again for all the reviews, follows, and faves. You people make me happy! :)
