Santana frowned deeply when a funny feeling hit her stomach.
Brittany was sitting next to the brunette; she had already showered and was wearing another one of her long sleeved duck shirt, which had won a cute giggle from Santana. She was watching Caillou with the smaller girl while Quinn was taking a shower.
She took her attention away from the TV when she heard the girl next to her whimper and her eyes widened when she saw the girl become green; like she was just habout to throw up.
"O-oh." Brittany stood up and quickly picked the girl up. Santana gasped in surprise, but she was too busy trying to breathe with that funny feeling beginning to rise to her throat.
She didn't understood when Brittany put her down in a kneeling position in front of the toilet and opened it. But she leaned to it anyway when she felt all the small amount of food she had coming back.
"Shhh, it's okay, little one, you're okay, shhhh." Brittany whispered, running her hand on the shaking girl's back. Santana gasped for air as she kept throwing up.
When her stomach was empty again and she stopped dry heaving, a sob broke through her fragile frame and she felt Brittany pull her into her body. Her first instinct was to flinch away, but when she felt the sweet blonde stroking her hair and rock her while holding her close, she let herself relax against her chest, hearing the blonde humming to her. She opened her eyes when she felt something wet in her hand and saw Apollo staring at her with sad puppy eyes.
"What happened?" Quinn's concerned voice startled both girls a little, but both also relaxed when they saw Quinn.
"She vomited." Brittany said concerned while getting up and helping Santana to her feet, never letting go of her waist. Quinn turned on the tap when Brittany led Santana to the sink. She helped Santana to wash the bad taste from her mouth with an oral antiseptic.
"Owiee." Santana whimpered, putting her hands on her stomach and Brittany looked very concerned. She gave the girl to Quinn so she could get a towel to dry her face. Santana laid her head on Quinn's chest and put her thumb inside her mouth as Quinn ran her hand on the smaller girl's back.
"Let's go back to the living room, shall we?" Quinn said and Santana nodded taking her thumb out her mouth to wrap her arms around the blonde's neck, indicating that she wanted be picked up. Quinn picked her and rested her on her hip, the girl immediately lying her head on her shoulder.
Quinn went with the girl back to the room and sat down on the couch with Santana on her lap. Apollo soon joined them, lying in the space next them in the couch while Santana's attention was soon wrapped in the cartoon running in the TV. The blonde watched as her girlfriend entered the kitchen, saying she was going to make something light for Santana to eat and started to rub her fingers lightly on the younger girl's bruised stomach under her shirt. It seemed to relax the girl and she leaned her back further against Quinn's front, her thumb making it's way to her mouth while the other hand held loosely Quinn's wrist.
The blonde kept her attention on the girl's breathing; although she was pretty relaxed, her breathing was heavy and she had a slight wheeze at every breath. She didn't like it at all.
"Hey Sanny, look what Bee brought for you." Brittany cooed as she entered the living room, carrying a plate with dry toasts and a glass of water; easy things for her stomach to handle.
"No 'ood!" Santana said before turning her attention back to the TV. Brittany sighed along with Quinn and the smaller blonde tickled the brunette sides lightly and got up with her to sit on the floor, putting the girl between her legs.
"C'mon, San, just a little bite?" Quinn pleaded, tickling the girl's sides again and resting her head on her shoulder. Brittany sat in front of them and Apollo stayed happily on his spot, lying on the couch.
"No! No wanna!" Santana cried, shaking her head as Brittany tried to put a toast in her mouth for her to bite.
"Please, Sanny, you need to eat something. Pretty please?" Brittany tried, just to have the girl start to cry out.
"San, San, calm down. Shhhh, it's okay..." Quinn put her hand once again under the girl's shirt and started to rub softly around her belly button, which again, relaxed the girl and she leaned against the blonde's chest. Quinn started to whisper. "Why you don't want to eat, little one?"
"No puke 'gain, no puke!" Santana cried and Quinn quickly shushed her softly while Brittany sighed concerned.
You see, since Brittany had opened a studio dance that quickly became one of the most famous of New York with lots and lots of kids, teens and adults frequenting the classes, Brittany soon had learned that an empty belly was bad. She was kind of tired of teens - and adults sometimes - girls and boys, fainting during the classes because they hadn't eaten all day long.
And she and Quinn had no idea about how long ago Santana had a proper meal, but her extremely thin body said to them it was a long time ago. If she kept refusing to eat or throwing up everything... Well, Brittany didn't what to think about it yet.
"Can you, at least drink a little bit of water for Bee, Sanny?" Brittany asked, giving her puppy eyes to the Latina. With that, Santana swallow her cry and giggled a little before nodding. Brittany smiled thankfully and handed her the glass.
Quinn helped Santana to hold the glass to her lips so she wouldn't spill the drink. Well, it didn't do much, the water still ran on her chin and through her shirt. Quinn chuckled and wiped the water from her chin. When she tried to make Santana drink a little bit more, Santana shook her head.
"Just a little more?" Quinn cooed but Santana only shook her head again. "Okay then."
Quinn gave the glass to her girlfriend and they shared a worried look while Santana held Quinn's hand that was loosely wrapped around her and started to play with her fingers, her eyes locked on the TV as Backyardigans started to play.
Brittany got up and headed to the kitchen to leave the glass and the plate before coming to the living room again, a smile crossing her lips at the same moment she saw the scene in front of her.
Quinn was playfully singing along with the Backyardigans while rocking herself and Santana to one side and then to the other, the smaller girl giggling amused. Apollo was wagging his tail while jumping to one side to the other in front of the two girls, playing with them.
"Look, San! I think Apollo likes Backyardigans! Do you like Backyardigans?" Quinn asked as she stopped, wrapping her arms tight around the girl who was still giggling and holding her thumbs.
" 'Ike Ba'aydians! Winnie 'ike Ba'aydians?" Santana asked, turning her head to look at the blonde, who pecked her nose, winning another giggle.
"I looooove Ba'aydians! They are soooo cute, aren't they?" Santana only kept giggling and nod. "They are cute like Apollo, don't you think?"
"Pollo!" Santana pointed to the happy dog in front of her and gave a happy squeal when he came to lick her hand. Quinn smiled; this was a very good change from yesterday when they first came home.
"Hey, happy girls." Brittany walked to them, smiling. Santana looked up and gave her a smile.
"Bee! Ba'aydians 'ute as Pollo?" The smaller girl asked, petting the dog's head just like Quinn had teached her yesterday. Both blondes felt their hearts melt.
"Sure thing, Sanny!" Brittany chuckled and kneeled in front of both girls. "Sanny, could you stay a little while here watching Ba'aydians with 'Pollo while Winnie and Bee talk? We'll be right there, in the kitchen" Brittany pointed to the door that linked the living room to the kitchen. Santana tightened the holds she had in the other blonde's thumbs and looked between them both.
"No go bye-bey?" She asked unsure and Brittany gave her a reassuring smile before leaning down to kiss her forehead.
"No go bye-bye. And if you need anything, you just call us, okay? And Apollo will stay here with you, alright?"
"Otay..." The Latina went to bite her lower lip, but remembered it was sore and just nodded, letting go of Quinn's thumbs. The blonde kissed the back of her head before standing up and following Brittany into the kitchen.
"We'll be right back, honey." She said when she turned around to check the girl one last time and smiled when she saw Santana petting Apollo's fur and the dog licking her arm. She entered the kitchen and gave her girlfriend a question look.
"We need to take her to the hospital." Brittany said bluntly and Quinn sighed, leaning against the counter.
"Britt, I told you already, I tried to take her, but..."
"She freaked out, yeah, but we still need to take her. C'mon Quinn, she's hurt, she can't stand up, I'm seriously thinking that her ankle is twisted, by the way. We really need to talk to the police Quinn, because, let's face it; someone did this to her. Someone hurt her and this someone may or may not be looking for her. And she's not eating. She can't hold the food in her stomach and she doesn't want to eat too afraid of throwing up again. Geez Quinn, she's thinner than that Marley girl. And that Marley girl ended almost dying, you remember that, don't you?"
"She's my student..." Quinn whispered, knowing her girlfriend was absolutely right. They needed to take Santana to the hospital and make sure she was okay. Well, okay was obvious she wasn't, but... as okay as it was possible right now.
"And... Let's not talk about the way she's acting. She wet herself, Quinn, we have to go."
"To be fair, we scared her." Quinn tried but looked down to her feet with the look she got from Brittany. Again, she knew she was right.
Quinn opened her mouth after a long silence, but both blondes looked to the doorway when they heard a whimper come from the living room. In no time both blondes were already walking there just to find a very upset Santana sitting in a puddle of that was, obviously, pee.
Brittany sighed and gave a look to her girlfriend that responded with another look that said 'I know' before walking straight to the crying girl. Apollo was whimpering as well, but not trying to get near the girl; he seemed to have already learned that getting near the girl while she was upset wasn't a very good idea. Quinn eased the girl to her feet, holding her waist to keep her from falling and Santana buried her face on the blonde's chest.
"I sorry, Winnie." She cried while Quinn rubbed her back and Brittany headed back to the kitchen to grab what she would need to dry the floor.
"It's okay, hon, let's get you cleaned up in warm new pants, shall we?"
"P'ease." The smaller girl cried and Quinn leaned down to pick her up bridal style.

Brittany had finished cleaning the floor and was sitting on the couch with Apollo at her side when the crying sounds stopped. She made her way silently to their room and found Quinn placing the stuffed lamb in the asleep girl's hand. The blonde put a pillow on each side of Santana to stop her from rolling off the bed and turned around to face her girlfriend. She walked through the doorway and Brittany followed her. When they were back in the living room, Quinn turned around with her arms crossed.
"You're right, we need to take her to the hospital."
Brittany gave a small smile to her girlfriend while running her hand through her arm to comfort her; she could see that the idea of scaring the girl once again was getting in the blonde nerves. Quinn sighed and leaned into her girlfriend, moaning happily as Brittany wrapped her arms around her.
"You're figuring out how we'll do it without freaking her out, though." The smaller blonde added quickly and Brittany shrugged, squeezing her girlfriend to her body.
"We can always do as my parents used to do while I was afraid of hospitals; carry her asleep." Brittany kissed Quinn's temple while the girl frowned, getting away from the blonde.
"You're still afraid of hospitals when you're the one who needs it! Why you never told me that all I had to do was take you while you're asleep and you would go without kicking and screaming?" Quinn asked very, very upset. Brittany opened and closed her mouth a few times.
"Quinn! You're focusing in the wrong point! Plus, you might be able to carry Santana around, but I'm taller than you and twice Santana's weight, so..."
"I could always ask Puck or Mike for help, you know..?" Quinn raised a eyebrow to Brittany as a evil smile crossed her lips. Brittany eyes widened.
Crap.

The girls used the service elevator so they could get out the building from the back door, which was so much quieter than the front hall. Quinn went to grab a cab carrying a big purse with all hers and Brittany's things on it and Misfer Lamby in her hand while Brittany stayed behind with the sleeping girl in her arms. Soon enough, Quinn ran back to them saying the cab was waiting and she followed her girlfriend.
Quinn was the first to enter the back seat of the car and Brittany handed the sleeping girl to her. Quinn got the girl comfortably lying on her chest and shushed her softly when the girl whimpered. She covered the girl's exposed ear and rocked her lightly.
No need to say the cab driver was staring at her with a deep curious frown.
Brittany closed the back door as silently as she could and headed to the passenger seat. She looked to the back seat to make sure everything was okay and smiled when she saw Quinn staring at Santana with a look that the taller blonde knew that mean she was deep in thoughts. She looked to the drive.
"To the hospital, please."
The cab only nodded and started the car, not asking any questions.
Quinn and Brittany could not be more grateful when Santana never woke up on the way to the hospital.
