Rachel and Quinn rushed into the room in which Katie was sleeping in. Hearing the girl scream so loudly and heartbroken had woken the two adults up rather quickly. When they entered the room they say the small eleven year old curled up into a ball crying her eyes out, whimpering for her Mamma. Rachel sat down on the bed placing her hand on the girls back, surprised to see how tense she was. She soon got her attention and started to speak softly too her, "Katie what's wrong honey?"

The girl didn't answer her question she just continued to sob, her back heaving heavily. She needed to be close to her mamma. She loved both of her parents she truly did. Santana and Brittany just had two different roles of being parents. With Santana Katie could run around goof off and just be this complete mini badass. With Brittany the girl was able to be soft and caring and share her feelings. If she wanted to have her role as bad ass with Santana she couldn't be soft around her.

"Do you want us to call your Mamma for you. Do you want to talk to her?" Quinn asked her niece, trying to figure out a way to calm the girl down.

Katie responded to this, she looked up at her Aunt Q and nodded her head. Quinn went back to her room to grab her phone and call her blonde friend. Whatever was happening was serious, she hasn't seen Katie have this kind of breakdown in a long time. She found her phone on the night stand and hit the number four on her phone and waited for Brittany to pick up.

It was late, really late at night. So why the hell is Brittany's phone going off? This is sleepy time, no one needs to be awake at this hour. Santana grunted as the phone kept ringing and her wife made no motion to answer it. She nudge her wife's shoulder blade with her head trying to get her awake.

"Britt, you're phone is going off." Santana rasped out.

"Sleepy Tana."

"Britt" San whined at her wife.

When she saw that she wasn't going to answer it she untangled herself from the blonde and reached over her to grab the phone. Her eyes tried to adjust and read the name coming up on the phone. When she realized it was Quinn she answered it. A little pissed off that she was calling so late at night but concerned she was calling because Katie was over there right now.

"Quinn I swear to God somebody better be hurt for you to be calling this early in the morning." Santana rasped out once again.

"Santana, Katie's having a breakdown and keeps asking for Brittany." Quinn spoke calmly into the phone, knowing that her friend was probably going to freak out shortly after hearing the news.

Hearing that Katie was asking for Britt didn't just sting it hurt. She had thought they had gotten passed this whole thing with her daughter. She thought Katie was going to let her in again. Right now though she had to put her daughter first and get Brittany awake so they can get over there.

her ear and gently shook her wife. "Brittany, baby, you need to wake up. Katie is having an emotional break down at Q's house and wants to talk to you."

Hearing her wife's words she sat up and ran her hand through her hair. She cleared her throat and reached her hand out for her phone. When Santana handed it over to her she told Quinn to give Kate the phone.

"Hey baby." Britt cooed into the phone. "You need to calm down a bit sweetheart you're going to have a panic attack if you don't." she said in her gently tone she used when she first met the girl.

"Mamma" Katie whimpered into the phone sadly. "I wanna come home."

"Okay baby, me and Mami will be there soon to pick you up okay? Just take deep breaths and try to calm down. Do you want me to stay on the phone until we get there?"

"Yes."

After getting some sweat pants on and quickly finding some shoes the married couple made their way over to their friends house. Brittany stayed on the phone with their daughter while Santana drove them there. It was mainly quite except for Britts words of comfort to the girl. When they got to the house they didn't bother knocking they just let themselves into the house. They made their way into the guest bedroom where they saw Quinn holding a tired Taylor, who must of woken up from all the noise, and Rachel who was rubbing the back of a distraught Katie.

Britt and San made walked over to the bed and Britt took the spot of Rachel who moved once they came into the room. Britt rubbed the girls back while San went to move hair away from her face but stopped herself when she saw the girl flinch.

"Hermosa." Santana sounded so hurt. Why was her daughter pushing her a way after the talk they just had? She didn't understand, but she wasn't going to ask right now. She'd wait until they got home and then they would have an open discussion as a family.

"Come on baby, lets go home." Brittany said softly to the girl. Bending down to pick her up with easy. The girl was just so small. She felt her wrap her arms around her neck and rest her head on her shoulder. "Thank you for calling us."

"It was no problem at all." Rachel said to her friend, then spoke to Katie, "I hope you feel better sweetie. We can try again next week."

When they had got home Katie had refused to let go of her Mamma. Brittany tried to coax her to sleep but she wouldn't have any of it. She was not going to go to sleep in fear of having the dream again. She never wanted to have that dream again.

"Can you tell me what the dream was about honey?" Brittany asked, sitting down on the sofa. Santana took a seat next to her wife, keeping her hands to herself. She didn't want to girl to invert into herself. Santana watched as her daughters eyes locked with hers and then back to the ground, Britt had seen this and then asked, "Was Mami in it?"

"Yes." Katie said, not looking at Santana, she was afraid to.

She knew that Santana would never say something like that to her. Not after the conversation they just had but the dream just felt so real. It hurt her so much to even experience something like that. After everything that's happened to her it just brought back so much stuff she thought she had buried a long time ago. She trusted her Mami, it was just fear that was stopping her.

"You were in it to Mamma." Katie said softly, the adults had to strain just to hear it.

"Yeah baby?" Britt asked softly, "Can you tell us what happened that made you so upset?"

Katie hesitated, "I'm scared."

"What are you scared of Katie?" Santana asked her, finally speaking for the first time in the conversation.

Once again Katie looked at her and then looked away. "Are you afraid of me?" Santana asked, sounding a little bit hurt. When the girl didn't answer Santana tried again, "Are you afraid of me or was it something that we talked about earlier?"

Katie wanted to get up. She felt the need to just move, this was getting to much for her. Talking about all of this was just getting way to much for her. She needed to move. When she tried to slide of her Mamma's lap Brittany wouldn't let her move. "Katie you're Mami asked you a question."

"I want off." The girl said simply, trying to move from her Mamma's lap.

"Katie if I let you go then you stay in this room, no running away from the problem. It's time to face this head on." Brittany said, letting the girl slip off her lap. She saw her daughter move to sit on the other couch. She could understand the girl needed space but it was time to get to the bottom of this. "Katie, please answer your Mami."

"Both." She said, playing with her own fingers. "Can I get rainbows?" she asked right after.

Santana smiled at her daughter. That dog was still in her life and she was still very close to it. Once when she thought she lost it she cried for two hours, the dog was like her best friend. Santana got up and quickly got the dog and gave it to her daughter, taking a seat where she was sitting before.

"Katie come on talk to us. You used to be able to talk to me so easily." Santana pleaded with her daughter, needing to understand what was going on.

"It's different now."

"Why? How can it be different."

"Its not allowed to be weak with Mami." She said in her soft voice.

"Katie its not weak when you talk to me about feelings and wanting to be held by me. That's a mother daughter bond." She tried to explain gently, "Why would you think that it wasn't okay for you to come to me for these things?" The little girl just shrugged her shoulders. "Is that why you have been so attached to Mamma? You were afraid to come to me?" The smaller girl shrugged her shoulders, playing with rainbows tail.

"Katie." Brittany got her daughters attention, "Answer your Mami the right way." Britt wanted her wife to work this one out for herself. She needed to know how to fix things between her daughter, right now she was just here for moral support.

"Yes."

"Baby." Santana said getting up from the couch and moving to sit next to the eleven year old. "You can come to me for anything okay. If you want me to hold you then I'll hold you. If you want to talk to me then you can talk to me. If you just want to hang out with me then you can. I love you." Santana said sincerely, trying to get her daughter to understand.

"I love you to Mami." She said softly, slowly reaching for one of San's hands. She grabbed one and held it tightly. Feeling closer to her then she has in a while.

"Can you tells us what the dream was about?" Santana pressed lightly.

"Tomorrow?" the girl tried to get out of talking about it.

"No baby," Britt came back into the conversation once again, "Lets leave everything behind tonight."

"You said mean things to me." Katie started slowly, "It hurt my feelings."

"What kind of mean things?" Santana asked softly, running her thumb over the girls knuckles.

"Stuff that made me upset before," she paused and San knew instantly what she was talking about. "You also said I hurt Mamma." She breathed out.

Brittany's eyebrows shot up into the sky. She could understand why the girl was crying for her more than usual than. She could understand why the girl was well on her way to a panic attack. She just wished that her little girl could move on from all of this and just be ready to be a normal kid.

"Baby, I'm fine, I'm sitting right over here. You could never hurt me." The only blonde in the room said softly.

Katie locked eyes with her blue eyed mother and said, "It felt so real though. I was never so afraid before."

"its okay now honey, every things is okay now. We're all at home safe." Santana reassured her daughter by placing a soft kiss to her temple. "Do you wanna go to sleep now?"

"I'm scared." She admitted.

San and Britt shared a smile at the confession, it was a start they thought. "Well how about you sleep with me and Mami tonight?"

The girl agreed and the family made its way upstairs to the master bedroom. Brittany layed on her side and so did Santana. Katie was in between her parents where she knew she was safest. She curled up into Brittany's side, but kept her hand locked with Santana's. It was a start.

I hope you enjoyed the update! I hope I made San looked a little less like the bad guy. It wasn't really my intensions to make her out to be like that. I just wanted Katie to have a minor set back from all the improvement she had made. I just made her so attached to Britt because of her innocents and I think she would have more maternal gestures then Santana.
