Jenn would never say it out loud but she was scared. Today was the day she'd get her knee operated on and she was afraid. They had chosen to operate on a Friday night meaning Britt and Katie would be there because Santana had a field hockey game to sit through. She did promise to be there when the teen woke up, to her it sounded like an empty promise.

"It's okay to be scared sometimes, when I'm scared Momma always holds my hand and it makes me less scared." Katie tells the girl who's laying on the hospital bed. Brittany was talking to some nurse but is keeping a watchful eye on the girls.

"I'm not scared, but thanks for the offer kid." Jenn says, letting out a shakey breath.

Katie scrunches up her eyebrows, "It's not nice to lie you know."

"Who says I'm lying?" Jenn questioned the eleven year old.

"I say, besides its all in the eyes." Katie could read people just like Britt could.

Brittany came back over to the girls "What are we all talking about?"

"How it's not nice to lie." Katie tells her blonde Momma.

"You're right it isn't nice to lie." She praises her daughter, "Who told a lie?"

"Jenn did, she said she wasn't scarred but her eyes say differently." She says it as if the teen wasn't in the room.

"I'm not scared." Jenn insisted, "Besides eyes can't speak."

Britt's face softens, "A picture speaks a thousand words my dear." Brittany takes a seat next to the injured girl, Katie sitting on her lap instantly, "it would be okay if you were scarred though."

Jenn eyed her like she was making a joke about her or something, "I just don't like hospitals." She admits.

"I don't like them either." Katie chimes in, "But Momma's cuddles make everything better."

Jenn doesn't say anything after that, she just looks around thinking about how this is supposed to help in the long run. What catches her attention is when someone gently grabs her hand, she turns to see B holding it. "You're okay." She heard Britt tell her giving her a reassuring smile, "You're going to be fine and we'll be here when you wake up. Don't you worry." Britt gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and then the doctor wheeled her off.

Jenn woke up feeling panic not knowing where she was, she couldn't keep her eyes open and everything sounded muffled. When she opened her eyes and they actually stayed open she didn't see anyone and she started to panic more. She knew it was to good to be true. They left her here she just knew it. Not knowing what to do Jenn tried to sit up but her body was too weak.

Jenn layed back down trying to get her body to relax what didn't help was when she felt a cool hand on her arm. She jumped a little and her eyes opened. She felt herself calm down when she saw Brittany, Santana and Katie all looking at her.

"Hey sweetheart, how do you feel?" Brittany asked moving her hand so she was now holding the other girls hand.

"Tired."

"Do you feel sick? Do you need water or something to eat?" Santana asked moving to sit in the chair Katie climbing on her lap.

"No I want to go home."

Brittan and Santana shared a look before the blonde spoke, "Well Jenn, you have to stay a little bit longer, just so the doctors can keep an eye on you."

"I don't want to." Jenn looked at Santana, "Why can't you look after me, you're practically a doctor."

Santana would have laughed if Jenn wasn't so scared, "I'm a physical therapist, trust me by the time you're done with rehab you wont want me looking after you." Santana gave her a little smirk.

"Mami is very hard therapist but she fixed my shoulder." Katie adds in, then says, "I'm hungry."

"Me too Mija, lets go get some dinner for everyone." Santana walked towards Jenn, "Don't go anywhere now you hear?" She kissed her forehead and she and Katie left after Brittany gave her a stern warning of no junk food.

"What do you want for dinner Mija?" Santana asked on the way down.

"Ice Cream!" Katie squeals in delight, Santana shook her head so she tried again, "Apple B's?"

"Better, "Santana praises, "So how was your day Hermosa?"

"It was great!" she exclaims. "In gym we played knock out and I beat all the guys."

"That's my girl." She gives her daughter a high-five. "You know what I always say about foul shots."

"foul shots are free points so you better make them." Katie responds blandley having heard it a billion times from her Mami.

"That's Right! Now how about we get some dinner."

"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse."

"No way, you're too small." Santana teases.

"Yes way!"

"Okay Mija, whatever you say."

The mother daughter couple laughed the whole way to Apple B's. Things were good with Katie and they plan to keep it that way as long as they could.

Jenn's room.

Jenn felt restless she wanted to get up and move around, she already hated herself for giving in.

"You know I'm really proud of you." Brittany said breaking the almost awkward silence.

"why?" Jenn gave her a look as if she was crazy, "I haven't done anything. I've been sitting in this bed doing nothing." Because I am nothing, she wanted to add in but thought better of it.

"No, you have done something. You allowed yourself to get help and you're here right now trying to get over the fact of that your not alone. The Lopez-Pierces are here and not leaving you. I know how hard that is for you and you're making me proud." Brittany says, patting the girls hand.

Jenn couldn't believe her because the only time her parents said they were proud of her was when she done something well in volleyball.

"What's going on in that head of yours?"

"Katie's adopted isn't she?" Jenn asks not ready to actually tell the truth.

"yes she is but we love her none the less. She's the sweetest kid ever."

"What happened to her?" Jenn asks.

"That's not my story to tell." Brittany tells her, "Now stop avoiding the question Jennifer."

"I'm thinking how crazy you and your wife are." Brittany raises her eyebrow so Jenn continues, "you have a perfect daughter and you're taking some broken teenager in who's going to fuck everything up. That makes your crazy."

"You Jennifer Wilder are not broken." Brittany looks her in the eyes. "I'll tell you that everyday if I have to."

Before the girl could respond Santana and Katie came back into the room with bags of food, which Jenn assumed was their dinner.

"Santana what did I say about Junk food?"

"That's why I got you a salad babe." She threw a wink at the blonde before handing out the food to the designated person.

"We thought chicken fingers and fries would be a safe bet." Katie tells her excitedly, she was slowly warming up to the girl.

"How much.." Jenn started only to be cut off by the look Santana was giving her.

"Don't you even think about it babe, you're with us now. It's okay." Santana slightly scolded.

Jenn sat and ate in silence as she watched the family interact with one another. She couldn't help but feel like an outsider looking in. But slowly the Lopez-Pierces were melting away her cold exterior.
