The next morning Brittany and Santana went downstairs and started to make breakfast. Last nights events were on their minds, they really didn't know how to approach the situation. I mean Katie was close to them and then last night she went all crazy on the two. They weren't sure what happened, they were never put in this situation before. "Do you think we should ask her about it?" San asked her beautiful, blonde wife.

"I don't really know what we should do San. I mean I don't want her to freak out again. Maybe we should just wait a bit you know? Maybe she'll come to us and talk." Santana nodded in agreement with her wife and continued cooking.

They made pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Lots of bacon, I mean come on who doesn't love them some bacon. Everyone loves bacon, minus Rachel, but she isn't here so lets eat us some bacon. The two were enjoying the silence when they heard soft foot steps approach them. They turned to face the sound and saw it was Katie. They both shared a wary glance before greeting her.

"Morning Tana, Brittsticks." She said a little groggy, sleep still in her voice. She smiled at the two and then took a seat at the table. She patiently waited for them to finish the task at hand.

The Latina gave her wife the "What the Hell" look. Katie was acting like nothing happened last night, something clearly happened. There was no way that the munchkin can act like nothing happened. B just shrugged her shoulders. She hadn't known any better either. It was clear they were going to have to talk to Katie about this.

"Lets just have breakfast first San." She whispered to her wife, moving a plate of pancakes to the table.

Katie quickly grabbed three pancakes and placed them on her plate. She went to go and cut them when the blonde stopped her. "You my short friend are not using a knife." She took the utensil out of her hand and cut the food for her. Just as she finished Santana brought the rest of the food over.

The make shift family ate breakfast like it was an everyday thing. Katie talked to them animatedly about a dream she had about a sea dragon she met. Brittany of course humored her and asked if the sea dragon had a name, or if they went on an adventure of some sort. San would smile at the girl every once in awhile still confused out of her mind on what happened. Once they finished Britts took her wife's hand and silently told her they should ask Katie what happened.

"Hermosa, me and Britt want to ask you something okay? You have to be honest though, you can't lie to us." Sensing that something serious was about to take place Katie simply nodded to the Latina. "What happened last night tiny?" she carefully asked the girl.

Brittany immediately noticed the girl tense, she used her free hand and placed it on the table. This was a silent invitation for her to take her hand. Brittany didn't want to force the contact, she wanted Katie to stay calm and she was afraid that if she forced contact she'd frighten the girl. The younger girl slowly took her hand and held it tightly, Brittany could feel the tension in the girl it was that strong.

"I don't want to talk about it." She focused on her plate, not looking up.

"Our eyes are up here Kates." Brittany reminded the girl. Eye contact was important to Brittany. If you could look into someone's eyes then you could see inside of them. What they are feeling, or if they're lying or not. If B could look into the small child's eyes then maybe she would be able to help more.

The girl gripped the blondes hand even more and forced herself to look up. She couldn't meet the adults eyes but she focused on the clock on the wall, at least her eyes were focusing up. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Why? You can trust us Katie." Santana maintained her calm voice, "We aren't going to hurt you. You're here so we can help you."

The child didn't speak for a couple minutes. She allowed Santana's words to sink in. Where they here to help her? Her mother's words were forcing doubt in her. She didn't know who to trust, but she did know the two adults in front of her were here for her more than her mother was.

"I got confused." She slowly started off, the blonde squeezed her hand in encouragement. "I didn't understand who I was supposed to trust. My mom said I wasn't supposed to trust you. She said I was stupid." She paused to collect herself. "I got confused."

"Was that what the dream was about Katie?" Brittany asked searching her eyes for an answer. "You had a dream about your mom saying this to you and you got confused?" The 9 year old nodded her head. "You can trust us honey. Me or San we don't want to hurt you okay?"

"I didn't know. I wasn't sure." The girl had small tears forming in her eyes. This whole situation was so confusing to her right now. She didn't know who she was supposed to trust. "I was confused…"

"Don't cry Hermosa, please don't cry. Everything's fine. We aren't mad are we B?" Santana asked her wife even though she already knew the answer.

"We aren't mad at all, I promise you." The Blonde smiled down at the girl, "Although its totally not okay to hit people." She recalled the smaller girl hitting her, totally hurt. "No matter how mad you are we don't hit people. Isn't that right San." Brittany smirked at her wife remembering all the time in high school when Santana would get in a fight because she would get mad.

"Oh no its totally not okay to hit people even if your mad at them." Santana agreed, she shot her wife a playful glare. "And you my friend shouldn't be hitting anyone with a bad shoulder." She chided gently. "But enough with this sadness lets get ready so we can make Katie and official member of this family."

The girls got dressed for the day and made their way to Santana's SUV. They all climbed into the car and drove to the address that the polite officer gave them. {Authors note: I know this isn't how the whole adoption system works. Shoot I don't know how those things work. Lets just pretend, a little, please? ;)} They climbed out and Tana took the child's hand as they made their way to the building. When they got in they were at the sight of Katie's mother who was hand cuffed, and a lawyer along with what seemed to be a gentle men from social services.

"Hey Kitty Kat." Her mother said with a very disturbing, wicked grin.

Katie James froze in place when she heard her mom call her that. Her mind took her away from the place she was and into a new scary place. It was a memory, a memory she wanted to forget. Her mind pulled her to a place that was dark and scary and all she wanted was to be with the two adults who cared for her and made her feel safe.
