Quinn whimpered as she heard her mothers voice. She covered her ears and shook her head.
"As far as we're concerned, she's not yours," Santana glared at the wall and tightened her grip around the phone. This woman had a nerve. "And you won't be seeing her anytime soon,"
"Please..please just once let me see her" Judy begged her voice starting to crack "Just one time please"
"Look Judy I don't know what your deal is but you haven't made attempt to see Quinn for two years and you let that sick bastard you call a husband hurt her, but now you need to see her!? Doesn't sound right to me!"
"I just need to tell her...I..I'm very ill I want to see her" Judy pleaded.
Santana stayed silent for a while as she thought. This could be a trap, they could lose Quinn forever.
"Only if we're there," Santana tightened her arm around Quinn who was trying her hardest not to listen.
"Of course" Judy resigned "Anything..I just want to tell her goodbye."
Brittany got Quinn and took her into the nursery cuddling her in the big rocking chair. She grabbed Quinn's favorite book and began to read.
"Okay but I'm not saying yes," Santana said "It's up to Quinn if she wants to see you, we can set up a meeting"
"I'll text you where and when," Santana hung up and sighed. As much as she resented the woman, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. But Quinn was theirs, she was happy and healthy.
Taking a deep breath, Santana walked into Quinn's room.
"Hey lion," Santana cooed and knelt in front of the rocking chair.
Quinn pouted at her "bad..." she muttered
"Can I talk to big girl Quinn real fast?" She asked Quinn took a deep breath and nodded
"Your mo...Judy is not doing to hot she wants to see you" Santana explained.
Quinn furrowed her brows and stared at Santana.
"No," she mumbled and buried her face into Brittany's chest. After all this time she wants to see Quinn? Quinn wasn't so sure.
"Come on Quinnie," Santana said softly and took Quinn's hands. "Britt and I will be there,"
"Why does she suddenly want to see me she made it pretty clear I was nothing to her!" Quinn said frustrated with situation.
"She said she wanted to tell you goodbye" Santana explained.
"Can I be little when we go?" She asked.
Santana thought for a moment then nodded. She held her arms out to Quinn and the blonde threw herself into them.
"When do I have to meet her?" Quinn asked, twirling a lock of Santana's hair around her fingers.
"Probably next week sometime" Santana rubbed Quinn's back soothingly and Brittany joined her on the other side
"Everything will be okay" she cooed "Mommy Promise"
Quinn nodded and looked up as she felt Brittany beside her.
"I love you, mommies," Quinn smiled softly and wrapped her fingers around the top of Santana's shirt. Santana took Brittany's place on the rocking chair, carrying Quinn with her.
"We love you too, little lion,"
"Can we play now?" Quinn asked sweetly
"What do you wanna play baby?" Santana asked.
"Uhm oh oh! Hidey seekies!" She clapped "I be the finder!"
"Okay, remember what you have to count to?" Santana asked, motioning for Quinn to get off her lap. Quinn nodded and held her hands up, frowning when she realised she didn't have nearly enough fingers.
"Big number!" Quinn nodded. Brittany and Santana laughed, knowing little Quinn couldn't count that high and they'd be found within 10 seconds.
"Be careful!" Brittany yelled as they both left the room, finding somewhere to hide. Quinn covered her eyes and slowly began counting.
"1...2...3...4..5...uhhh 8...7...9...10! Ready ow not hewe I come!" She skipped off finding her mommy in the shower and her Mami under the kitchen table. "Now Mami be the finder Quinn said bouncing on her toes.
"Wow you're fast!" Brittany commented and high fived the blonde. Quinn beamed at her mommy and ushered Santana into the corner of the kitchen.
"Close eyes!" Quinn grabbed Brittany's hand and dragged her out of the kitchen. "Bye!" Quinn shouted and ran back upstairs to find a place to hide, somewhere real good where her mami would never find her!
Quinn sneakily crawled into her mommie's bed hiding under the covers. She was so sneaky! She heard her Mami come into the bedroom.
"Hmm where can my Quinnie be?" She mused. "In the closet? Nope hmm behind the dresser? Darn no luck there!"
Quinn giggled to herself quickly covering her mouth remembering she was hiding. Santana smirked as she walked over to the bed.
"Mommy forgot to make the bed I see," Santana had to hide in her laugh as she noticed Quinn was giggling. Gently she poked Quinn, faking a gasp as the blonde jumped.
"The bed can move?!" Quinn smiled as she heard her mami speak, this was so fun! "Britt, why is the bed moving?" Santana yelled. Quinn giggled and jumped out from the covers. Santana faked a scream and placed a hand on her chest.
Quinn gave Santana a big hug giggling "Mami you silly!" She said
"No you're silly!" Santana teased tickling Quinn's tummy
Brittany poked her head in "hey are you having fun with out me?!"
Quinn squealed and escaped from her mami's grip, running into her mommy's arms.
"Nuh uh!" Quinn shook her head and stuck her tongue out at Santana. Brittany laughed and wrapped her arms around Quinn pulling her into a hug.
"I think Quinn wins!" Brittany sighed defiantly.
X
A week had passed and finally the day had come for Quinn's meeting with Judy. She was dressed adorably, proudly wearing her "Mommy's Girl" shirt paired with a skirt and leggings. She sat and happily colored a picture for Judy while her Mommies got ready. She was nervous, but as long as her mommies stayed beside her she had nothing to worry about.
"Come on Quinnie," Brittany said walking into the kitchen. "Ready?" She smiled glancing down at the picture. Quinn nodded and jumped down from the table.
"I made Ms. Judy a picture! She sads so it make happy, right?" Quinn asked looking up at Brittany with the purest most inocent eyes.
"I'm positive it will no one can be sad when they get one of your drawings!" She said nodding enthusiastically.
Quinn smiled wide at the praise from her mommy then held her hand out to her. Brittany took her hand and they walked to the front door where Santana was already waiting, holding up Quinn's pair of shoes.
"Mami!" Quinn smiled, holding up the picture she drew. "For Ms. Judy," Quinn knew to sit down on the bottom step so her mami could put her shoes on.
"Beautiful, baby," Santana smiled and looked at the picture once more before slipping Quinn's shoes on.
Quinn smiled then hopped up and gave Santana a hug. The little family piled into the car and made the drive across town to Lima Memorial Hospital. Quinn felt butterflies dance in her tummy.
"Mommy? Does Ms. Judy know I only little?"
Brittany turned back in the car and placed her hand on Quinn's knee as she spoke.
"Not exactly, baby," Quinn pouted and held onto the drawing tighter. She wished she had her lion here to comfort her. As the car stopped, Santana also turned around and sent a reassuring smiled to the little blonde.
"We can leave whenever you want, okay?" Santana asked. After Quinn nodded, Santana and Brittany got out of car then helped Quinn out.
Quinn walked between her mommies holding onto their hands. They stopped at a desk in the front of the hospital and a nice lady told them where to go. They entered the room where Judy was. She was sitting up in her hospital bed gazing out the window.
"Ms. Fabray" Santana got her attention and she turned her head.
"Quinnie.." she said softly "come see me"
Quinn needed a little encouragement from Santana who gently nudged the girl and smiled.
"We're right here," Santana whispered. Quinn looked to Brittany who was also smiling and it calmed Quinn down.
Quinn timidly walked over to Judy and placed the picture on the bed.
"This for you," Quinn smiled, her eyes never leaving the picture. "Mommies said you sad so I made this,"
Judy picked up the sloppily drawn picture "Thank you honey" she said "but..what are talking about "mommies" I'm your mother what's going on? Why are you talking like that I don't understand?"
Quinn didn't like this. It made her sad and made her panic. She quickly looked to her mommies then back to Judy.
"Mommies," Quinn mumbled as she pointed to Santana and Brittany. "They my mommies," Quinn nodded and looked to where she was pointing, relieved that her mommies where both nodding.
"Quinn.. What are you talking about!? Santana and Brittany are your friends I am you mother! Do you hear me!? I am your mom!" Quinn's eyes watered and she ran back to Santana and Brittany
"Tell her she not my mommy" she whimpered.
Brittany pulled the girl into a hug and kissed the side of her head as she cried. Santana swallowed. She knew this conversation would happen sooner or later, but she hadn't yet had a chance to plan it out.
"You're far from her mother," Santana said, trying to make her voice sound firm.
"Young lady I most certainly am! I gave birth to her" Judy lectured
Santana signaled for Brittany to take Quinn out of the room "Giving birth doesn't make you a mom you never took care of Quinn not ever! You just put on a show while behind it all you hurt her you hit a child! How can you live with yourself!? And yes Britt and I are giving Quinn a second chance to be a kid and show her how normal parents act!"
Judy was taken back at what Santana was saying. Quinn was her daughter, her baby, despite the lack of contact.
"So she's acting like a, what, two year old?" Judy scoffed and sat up a little more in her bed. "That is the most stupid thing i've heard," Santana clenched her fists, trying to conceal her anger.
"No the stupidest thing is letting your "baby" get beat by her father and what's even stupider is you beating her I mean what the hell is wrong with you?" Santana went on "now we have two choices here one being that we leave and be done here or I can bring Quinn back on here so you can say what it is you want to say" Santana barked.
"If you get her to stop acting like a baby then the latter," Judy nodded. She still couldn't wrap her mind around what was happening. Santana sighed in frustration.
"Being little is how she's comfortable, so it's little Quinn or nothing," Santana's patience was wearing thin.
Judy remained silent. Santana rolled her eyes "I thought you wanted to see her?"
Judy sighed "fine bring her back in here so I can make my peace." Santana almost snapped at that comment but went to the hall.
"Quinnie, Ms. Judy is ready to be nice now but you don't have to go in if you don't want to"
Quinn apprehensively walked over to Santana and grabbed her hand.
"Just quick mami," Quinn nodded and looked towards the door. She quickly wiped her eyes and followed Santana into the room. Santana kissed Quinn's head. Her girl had the biggest heart of anyone despite her up bringing Quinn went near the bed and gave Judy an awkward hug "Sorry you sick" she mumbled.
Santana stayed closed to Quinn's side making sure the girl was okay. Judy returned the hug and sighed.
"I just wanted to say goodbye," Judy took Quinn's hand. This was strange.
"Where you gonna go?" Quinn asked innocently. Judy sighed as tears formed in her hazel eyes
"The doctors say I'm going to go be with God and the angels"
"I visit?" Quinn looked back at Santana. "Send her more drawings!" Santana smiled sadly and shook her head.
"No go," Quinn frowned.
Santana's heart broke here her sweet little girl was so full of compassion for this woman who hurt her. Judy smiled sadly.
"It's okay I'll be able to watch you from way up there" Quinn hugged Judy again, only tighter this time.
"Goodbye Ms. Judy," Quinn mumbled as her eyes filled with tears. "Be real safe okay?" Quinn pulled back and gave her a stern look.
Judy wiped away Quinn's tears "I'm sorry sweetie so sorry"
"It's otay Ms. Judy it otay" Quinn cooed like her mommies did and wiped Judy's tears.
"I think it's time we leave, Quinnie," Santana said softly, placing her hand on Quinn's shoulder. Quinn nodded and hugged Judy one last time. Quinn didn't say anything but Santana knew it was because she'd burst out crying.
Santana lightly hugged Judy and Brittany did the same. Quinn kissed Judy's cheek and went to Brittany "Uppie Mommy uppie" Brittany picked her up and headed towards the door.
"Goodbye Ms. Fabray" as so soon as they were outside Quinn burst into tears. Brittany gently bounced Quinn as they walked to the car, mumbling soothing words into the blonde's ear.
Both Santana and Brittany had tears in their eyes. Even if her mother had abused her to some sort, it would be hard on Quinn.
"Mommy," Quinn choked out as she was placed in the back seat.
Brittany climbed in the backseat with her. "Shh baby girl everything will be okay"
"Mommy scared" Quinn whimpered
"Mommy's got you, don't be scared," Brittany hugged Quinn as the girl sobbed into her chest. Santana made quick work of driving home. Quinn buried her face in Brittany's chest she was so confused, her mother was dying, shouldn't she feel something? She felt nothing!
"We're home baby," Brittany said softly. Quinn lifted her head and looked at the door where her mami was waiting. She shrugged off her thoughts and held her arms out to Santana. She didn't feel like speaking, she just wanted her mommies.
Santana scooped Quinn up bridal style "Let's get you some lunch okay?" she cooed. Quinn just nodded eyes blurred with tears. Santana sat Quinn at the table with some juice in a bottle whiles she made lunch up for the three of them, while Brittany sat with Quinn and kept her a little bit entertained. Quinn turned away from Brittany and looked at her mami. She pouted, she didn't want this food.
"Ami," Quinn mumbled, hold her hands out to Santana.
Santana shook her head "No no you know the rules you have to have your big girl food before you can have Mami milk"
"Nah!" Quinn whined.
Santana turned around and have Quinn a stern look. Quinn pouted and leaned back in her chair.
"Pwease," Quinn whimpered, her eyes filling with tears.
Santana sighed "Fine but then you have to eat some big girl food okay?" Quinn nodded and eagerly climbed into Santana's lap. Although this was the third time they'd tried breastfeeding, Quinn was still a little nervous. She grasped the bottom of Santana's shirt and pushed it up. She then grabbed Santana's bra, revealing the Latina's breast. Quinn quickly latched on and closed her eyes.
"Woah there easy baby girl" Santana scolded lightly. Quinn eased up giving her mommy apologetic doe eyes. Santana smiled and cradled Quinn's head humming to her softly.
Quinn reached up and twirled a lock of Santana's dark hair around her fingers. Quinn soon slowed down then pulled away, burying her face in Santana's chest as comfort.
"All finished little lion?" Santana asked. Quinn nodded up at her with a pout on her lips. Santana helped her switch sides and latch on again repeating the same process as before. She just let Quinn sit and cuddle her for awhile before pulling away "Okay time for big girl food!"
Quinn whined a little but sat up "Mac n' Cheese?..wif a hot dog in it?"
"Sure baby girl whatever you want" Quinn smiled wide and crawled off Santana's lap and onto Brittany's, she sat up and lightly pecked Brittany's lips before hugging her tightly.
"My mommy," Quinn sighed happily. Brittany chuckled and held her baby close. This was the best family.
Santana came back with with a bowl of food and sat it in front of Quinn. "Here we go baby girl"
Quinn happily ate all of her lunch smiling up at her mommies when she finished. "All done mommy!"
"Well done baby!" Brittany praised, standing up to take their plates away.
"What we do now mami?" Quinn asked, sitting on her knees on the chair.
"Well it's almost your nap time so how bout a quiet activity til then" Santana suggested. Quinn pouted she didn't need a silly nap! She'd work that out later.
"Tea party?"
"With water in tea pot?" Quinn hoped. Brittany and Santana shared a look. The last time they allowed water, Quinn managed to spill it all over the carpet.
"Only a little," Santana said. Quinn smiled wide and ran towards her toy box. She pulled out the tea pot and ran back to her mami, shoving the teapot into her chest.
"Now please!" Brittany swatted Quinn's backside gently.
"Nicely, Quinn," She scolded. Quinn pouted and looked down.
"Please mommy," Quinn asked politely smiling as prettily as she could.
"That's better"
While Brittany put water in the tea pot, Quinn dashed off to get all of her teddy bear guests for her tea party. She gathered them on the floor and placed a cup in front of each of them. Maybe her mommies would join to! Quinn stood up and took a step back to take a better look at her tea party set up. Perfect.
"Mommy!" Quinn yelled, kneeling down beside her teddies.
"Yes princess?" Brittany replied setting down the little tea pot.
"Come to tea pawty?" She asked with a pout.
"I'd love to!" Brittany said sitting down next to her.
"Otay! This yours," Quinn said as she placed a cup in front of Brittany then set a place for Santana.
"Mami here now!" Quinn once again yelled, but was sent a look from Brittany. "Please!
"We need to work on your manners little lady" Santana scolded lightly "If you can ask nicely I will come play with you"
Quinn pouted manners were boring! "Mami please!" she said. "Pretty pretty please," she begged as she noticed Santana wasn't moving. Santana thought for a moment before finally sitting down. Quinn leaned forward and began pouring water into each cup. She mumbled things to each teddy. Santana and Brittany shared a smile. "Mami want sugar?" Quinn asked sweetly.
"Oh yes please princess Quinn" Quinn giggled then grabbed another cup, pretending to pour sugar into Santana's cup.
"Enjoy!" Quinn smiled and crossed her and Brittany sipped on the "tea" and admired Quinn's adorableness. All the while Quinn was completely immersed in her play. Russell had never let her play pretend so doing it now was like the best thing ever! The sweet little blonde yawned and rubbed at her eyes a bit.
"Uh oh," Brittany said placing her cup down. "Looks like our host is getting sleepy," Quinn shook her head and crawled the furthest away from her mommies. No way was she gonna sleep now!
"Come on baby," Brittany said softly, holding her arms out to Quinn.
Quinn shook her head "No wanna nap!" She whined "bad bad dreams!"
"Mommy will keep you safe" Brittany encouraged.
A light bulb went off in Santana's head. "Why don't we make a fort for you to nap in? Mami and Mommy might even nap too!"
Quinn whimpered and crawled over to Brittany.
"Pwomise you stay?" She asked as she sat on Brittany's lap. They both nodded and Quinn smiled softly. Okay so maybe a nap inside a fort would be okay.
"Gonna help, quinnie?" Santana asked and stood up. Quinn shook her head and cuddled into Brittany, yawning again.
"Tirwed," the blonde whispered. Brittany cuddled Quinn while Santana built their nap fort.
"Alright ladies finished and ready for naps!" She said faking dusting off her hands. Quinn crawled inside
"Need lion and paci...oh an' bankie!' Brittany ran upstairs to grab said items while Santana crawled in beside Quinn. The tired blonde cuddled into Santana, her eyes struggling to stay open as she waited for Brittany and her items. She couldn't sleep without them!
"Here you are, princess," Brittany crawled into the fort and hand Quinn her blanky, lion and pacifier. With her pacifier in her mouth and her loveys cuddled in her arms Quinn was fast asleep snuggled safely between Santana and Brittany. Each placed a kiss on her temple and gazed adoringly at the sleeping beauty.
It wasn't long before Quinn awoke, bad dreams suck! She glanced at both her mommies who were fast asleep beside her then sat up. Quinn squirmed in her diaper and pouted, wet. She tapped each of her mommies arms before speaking.
"Mommy?" She whispered. After no response she crawled out of the fort and tore off her diaper, she tossed it aside along with her shirt and ran upstairs. She was a big girl, she could wash herself!
Quinn went into the bathroom turned the tap on in the bathtub and jumped in pouring half the bottle of bubble bath in, soon the tub overflowed but Quinn just giggled and played with her toys.
It was the giggling that woke Santana up. She turned on her side and had placed her arm out, expecting to find Quinn. Furrowing her eyebrows and patting around, content when she found a body she assumed was Quinn's.
"Hey no hitting," Brittany mumbled, pushing the hand away from her. Santana opened her eyes as she felt her arm being moved. The Latina quickly shot up when she noticed the absence of Quinn.
"Quinn?" Santana called out. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes then crawled out the fort.
The first thing she saw was Quinn's discarded diaper. She followed the sound of giggles up to the bathroom. "Quinn? Oh my God! Quinn! What are you doing?" She yelled and turned off the water.
Quinn pouted and tears formed in her eyes "Gettin' clean Mami" Santana took a deep breath then looked at Quinn.
"You should have asked me or mommy," Quinn frowned and looked at the water. They were asleep! Grumpy mommies suck! "I suggest you go downstairs and tell mommy what you did while I clean this up," Santana grabbed a towel from the side and held it out for Quinn.
Quinn pouted "No I want bath! You an mommy were sweepin!"
Santana dragged her out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel "March your little butt downstairs missy"
Quinn started crying as she left "Mommy?" She whimpered from the bottom of the stairs.
After hearing Santana yelling, Brittany had sat up and adjusted to being awake. She frowned as she saw Quinn come in crying.
"Oh baby girl, what's wrong?" Quinn ran into her mommy's arms and cried into her shoulder. It wasn't her fault. "It's okay," Brittany cooed trying to calm the crying girl. "Don't cry baby girl,"
'Mami..m..mad I maded a big mess in da baf," Quinn sobbed "I sowwy wanted to be a big girl!"
Brittany rocked and bounced Quinn until she stopped crying "I'll talk to Mami okay?"
Quinn just nodded cuddling close "I nakie Mommy" Brittany laughed and tapped Quinn's butt.
"Go wait in your room, mommy won't be long," Brittany said as she carried Quinn upstairs. The blonde was set down and she ran to her room, leaving the door open so her mommies could see her.
Brittany kneeled near Santana and started to help her clean up. "Don't be to upset with her Sannie" she said softly.
Santana looked up tearfully "What if something happened to her Britt?"
"After today, I don't think she'll be doing something like that again," Brittany cupped Santana's cheeks. "Just calm down," Santana nodded and smiled softly.
"Mamiii," Quinn called out. Brittany smiled and nodded towards the door.
"Looks like you're wanted,"
Quinn had quickly scribbled up a picture as an apology for making a mess and when Santana appeared in her doorway, she ran to her and wrapped her arms around her neck
"sorwy Mami" she whispered "I maded a picture"she said handing it over. Despite being angry, Santana returned the hug and kissed the blonde's hair. She took the picture and smiled.
"It's beautiful, thank you baby," Santana moved away and placed the picture on Quinn's bed. "But you're still in a little trouble, mami was so scared," Santana stopped herself briefly to hold back her tears. "You could have hurt yourself,"
Quinn looked at the floor. "I sowwy I just wanted to be helpfuw so you an' Mommy could naps"
Santana smiled "That's very sweet but you don't need to worry about thinking that, you're the baby and we're the mommies" Quinn nodded in understanding
"Am I gonna get 'panked?"
"No," Santana took Quinn's hands and squeezed them reassuringly, spanking was their last resort. "But a time out then an early bedtime with no story," Quinn pouted and nodded again.
"Otay mami," She whispered, tugging on her towel. "But clothes mami?"
Santana chuckled "yeah let's get you dressed baby" She helped Quinn lay down on the floor so she could diaper her and then pulled her up."Pick out some comfy clothes to put on sweetie" she encouraged. Quinn looked around then pulled a face before she turned to Santana.
"Mommy has real comfy clothes," Quinn pushed. "I wear her sweater mami?" Quinn said referring to the pink sweater Brittany occasionally wore to bed. Whenever she'd wear it, Quinn would never leave Brittany's side claiming she was like a giant teddy bear.
Santana chuckled and rolled her eyes "I guess so" she said "Come on you" she held out her hand which Quinn grabbed. They entered Santana and Brittany's bedroom where Santana pulled out the sweater in question and pulled it over Quinn's head "There we go all cozy!" Quinn beamed at Santana and lifted her hands up to rub the sweater against her face.
"Pants then corner missy," Santana gently pushed Quinn out of the room and back towards hers. Quinn stopped as she saw her mommy finishing clearing the water from the bathroom and smiled.
"Mommy I gots your sweater!" Quinn held her arms out and Brittany giggled. Quinn giggled and toddled to her room "Mami can I have my dotty leggings?" Santana smiled at her little fashionista.
"Sure baby girl" she went to her dresser then got them pulled up Quinn's legs "Okay little lady naughty corner"
Quinn smiled nonetheless and skipped over to the corner. Sure it sucked standing in time out, but she was wearing her mommy's sweater and her favourite leggings so she was very happy.
Santana sat on Quinn's bed and took a better look at the picture she drew. She also kept an eye on Quinn making sure she didn't move for her 5 minutes.
After her five minutes had passed and Quinn was let out of her time out she ran and hugged both of her Mommies.
"I love mommies!" She cheered happily "sowwy I scawed you"
"And we," Brittany smiled picking Quinn up. "We love you so much!" Quinn giggled and laid her head on her mommy's shoulder.
"It's okay baby, we forgive you, fresh start," Santana reminded taking Quinn's hand. Quinn smiled and kissed her mami's hand, just like her mami does to her.
"Mami milk?"
Santana smiled "sure baby let's go get cozy on the couch and you can have some milk" Santana got comfortable on the couch and helped Quinn prop her self up on a pillow, she pulled her shirt and bra aside and led Quinn to latch on. Brittany smiled at both of them admiring her beautiful girls.
They knew this would make Quinn sleepy and she wouldn't give her mommies any trouble for her early bedtime. Brittany brushed Quinn's hair from her face then leant down to kiss her forehead softly. Quinn pulled back a little to smile at her mommy. She loved her family so much.
