AN: Thank you so so much for the reviews, we hope you enjoy this long chapter!
In the dressing rooms as warm ups and run-throughs went on, Quinn became less and less nervous she settled in feeling really confident about the competition.
"Ready sweetie?" Santana asked.
"Super ready!" Quinn nodded eagerly
"Break a leg mommies," Quinn whispered, kissing both of them on the cheek. The blonde skipped over to the side of the stage and watched the competition finish. Pfft, they'd win easy. Quinn wished Rachel and Kurt luck and they both returned it before taking their place on stage.
It's your time to shine, Quinn.
Quinn sang and danced her heart out and as soon as they finished she turned little again, and ran to her mommies.
"We do good mommies?" She asked innocently.
"We did awesome baby!" Brittany nodded. Quinn smiled wide and wrapped her arms around Brittany's neck.
"Did you have fun?" Santana asked placing a hand on Quinn's back. Quinn nodded and beamed as she looked at Santana. She wanted to do that again!
Quinn squirmed realizing her pull up was we but she never remembered ...going. She blushed deeply "Mommy wet" she whispered.
"We'll go change you baby girl" Brittany whispered back
Brittany grabbed her bag and led Quinn to the bathroom, smiling when she got away without anyone noticing.
"Mommy," Quinn said as she was being changed. Brittany looked up briefly and smiled which urged Quinn on. "It accident," Brittany nodded. She knew that. "Buh mommy I don't 'member going!"
Brittany finished getting Quinn changed and kissed her cheek "That's okay you're a baby it happens" she told her.
Quinn latched her arms around Brittany's neck. "Dat what babies do?"
"Uh huh," Brittany smiled and helped Quinn down. She continued to hug Quinn a while.
"I think we should go back and find mami," Brittany pulled away much to Quinn's dismay. "Your mami is one big worry pants when it comes to you," Quinn giggled and nodded. Silly mami. Quinn skipped along with Brittany smiling happily.
"Mommy do you gots my lion?" Quinn asked quietly.
"In my bag baby" Brittany assured. Quinn smiled and immediately ran over to Santana when they got back to the group.
"Mami!" Quinn squealed wrapping her arms around Santana's neck. She was passed caring and little Quinn was in a hugging mood.
Santana chuckled and kissed Quinn's cheek. "Hi princess" she cooed nuzzling her neck.
"Mami Mami I a baby!" Quinn announced proudly.
"That's right my baby!" Quinn smiled wide and pulled back a little so she could look at Santana's dress. She then gasped.
"Mami a princess!" Santana giggled and pulled Quinn in for another hug.
"I love you," She sighed. Quinn was going to protest and try wiggle free but she thought her mami could do with some love.
"Love Mami" Quinn chirped snuggling down against Santana's shoulder.
Santana kissed Quinn's head "Ready to go get changed and go to dinner?" Quinn nodded sweetly. Santana smiled and lead Quinn over to Brittany who was speaking to some other glee clubbers. Santana didn't bother disturbing Brittany, so she and Quinn began pulling faces at each other. When Quinn stuck her tongue out at Santana, the Latina gasped and grabbed Quinn's waist to tickle her.
"No mami!" Quinn squealed and successfully pulled away. She ran in front of Brittany, butting in on the conversation that was going on. "Protect me mommy!"
Mercedes scoffed "you need to control her" she said. Quinn looked scared then up to Brittany.
"Mercedes that was so mean!" She snapped.
Santana glared "Shut your mouth!"
"Yeah," Quinn mumbled and turned around to look at Mercedes. She could be tough like her mommies! "Meanie sh!" Okay maybe she wasn't as tough. Brittany an Santana held back a laugh as they watched little Quinn attempt to stick up for herself.
Mercedes laughed. "Yeah? What are you gonna do about it tiny.
Quinn pouted "Mommies mean!" Santana glared but turned Quinn around "Let's go change you baby" Quinn growled and shook Santana off her, she glared at Mercedes.
"Quinnie come on," Santana said softly trying to move her.
"Mami no, mommy already change me," Quinn nodded and smiled reassuringly at Santana.
"You wear diapers too?" Mercedes scoffed. "The icing on the cake,"
Tears gathered in Quinn's eyes "C..can't h...h..help it Cedes...y...you...mean"she cried. Brittany scooped Quinn up and took her away.
"Good job Mercedes" she bit out.
Santana saw red "What do you have to say for yourself" Mercedes had to admit her heart broke a little as Quinn cried, so instead of answering the question she turned away.
"Come on San," Brittany said softly, rocking Quinn side to side to stop the crying. Santana sighed and picked up the diaper bag, following Brittany to the elevator.
"Oh quinnie," Brittany cooed.
"D..dat was m...ean" Quinn cried into Brittany's shoulder.
Brittany bounced her a little "How bout we get you in some comfy clothes and then get a happy meal!?"
Quinn nodded "neber had dose before!"
"You're gonna love it," Brittany smiles and kissed Quinn's cheek. The crying had finally stopped and Quinn laid her head on Brittany's shoulder. At least her mommies weren't mean.
"I'm sorry Quinnie," Santana said softly. She pulled out Quinn's lion and placed it in Quinn's arms.
Quinn hugged her lion to her chest. "Fanks Mami" Quinn mumbled. Once they arrived back at their hotel Brittany Santana and Quinn we're all dressed in their pajamas while everyone else excluding Kurt and Rachel went to the restaurant. Soon Kurt and Rachel joined the pj party. Quinn almost fell off the bed in excitement when she saw her Rae, she hadn't seen her in so long!
"Rae!" Quinn held out her arms to Rachel who happily accepted the hug.
"Hey quinnie," Rachel smiled and sat beside Quinn so she'd be able to sit on her lap.
"Happy meal!" Quinn squealed.
"Brittany those are full of terrible things for Quinn!" Rachel huffed angrily.
Brittany crossed her arms "Calm down Rachel she's never had one before and there's a Mcdonald's right outside our hotel"
"I still get it" Quinn puppy dog pouted.
"Of course baby girl!" Brittany said.
"Mami will go get us some food," Santana stood up and grabbed her jacket. "Want anything?" She asked looking to Rachel and Kurt who looked disgusted she even suggested that. "Suit yourself," Santana rolled her eyes and walked out the door. Quinn knelt on the bed and held her arms out to Rachel.
"Why you not like them?" Quinn asked. Rachel stood in front of the bed and held Quinn's hands. Rachel frowned she didn't mean to squash Quinn's excitement. She sighed.
"Because they aren't very healthy for grown ups" she tried "but kids can have them!" She added. Quinn bounced on the bed.
"I never gotted one before!"
Quinn began bouncing more then giggled. She was so excited to get one! Rachel smiled sat on the bed, keeping an eye on a very jumpy Quinn.
"Mami back yet?" Quinn asked looking for Brittany. She hoped her mami would be quick, these happy meals had toys and the hotel didn't have any toys! Quinn pouted when she didn't see her mommy, did she suddenly disappear? "Mommy?" Kurt stood up and took Brittany's place on the bed. Quinn moved away slightly but remembered he is okay!
"Mommy went to the bathroom, she'll be back soon," He smiled and Quinn nodded.
Quinn crawled in to his lap "Can you play with me?" Quinn asked sweetly batting her eyelashes.
"Sure sweetie what do you wanna play?" Kurt asked her.
"I unno" Quinn shrugged.
Kurt thought for moment and grabbed his phone bringing up Pandora and adding a kid appropriate station. "We can dance!" Quinn giggled and looked down at his phone, she then crawled down from his lap and sat on the floor. She wanted him to dance first.
"You!" She said, bouncing a little on the floor. Brittany walked out the glanced at Quinn then at Kurt. She shrugged and collapsed on the sofa, smiling all the while at her baby.
Kurt held his hand out to her "May have this dance fair princess?" He asked making his voice sound very proper.
"Yes you may mister prince" Quin replied.
Quinn smiled wide when she grabbed Kurt's hand and the two began dancing. It was a weird dance and little Quinn couldn't figure out what it was.
"This is called the Waltz," Kurt said. "This dance is saved for only special people, and princesses just like you," Quinn beamed as he spoke.
Quinn smiled and giggled as they danced. As Kurt was twirling her, Santana came through the door. "I'm back!"
Quinn let go of Kurt's hand and ran to Santana "Hunwy Mami Hungwy!" she chirped bouncing on her toes.
"Go sit at the table little lion mommy will get you food" she said smiling
Quinn quickly ran over to the table and knelt on the chair, eagerly awaiting her food. Santana set down the happy meal in front of Quinn and watched the girl tear it open.
"I got us food too mommy," Santana placed the other food on the table. "And for Kurt," Both joined Quinn at the table who was fascinated with the small toy. Russell nor Judy allowed her to have such a thing, so this was so cool!
Santana smiled fondly at Quinn's amazement. What parent never got their kid a Happy Meal!? But then her heart clenched and she figured Quinn probably went hungry most of the time so a meal in any form is probably exciting. Brittany took Quinn's food out and put it in front of her.
"Eat up baby or mommy'll have to take your toy until you finish"
Quinn shook her head and held the toy in her hand while eating her fries. That was her toy.
"Who's she going to stay with when we go home tomorrow?" Rachel asked quietly, she didn't want to worry Quinn.
"I don't know" Brittany shrugged. "I'd say my place but that's way too close to her house to be safe"
Santana sighed "My place could work I mean it's still pretty close but at least Russell can't see us from the window."
"You can all three stay with me my daddy is a cop remember? So he can protect you if anything happens! It's the opposite side of town too" Rachel suggested.
"Are you sure?" Santana asked. "Won't we be intruding?" Rachel shook her head and sat beside Quinn who was talking to her new toy.
"We have plenty of room," Quinn held out a fry to Rachel. Why wouldn't she want to eat something to nice?! Rachel took the fry but didn't eat it. "Plus we can work out what Quinn will do,"
Brittany kissed Quinn's head,her baby was just so sweet "Would you like that Quinnie? A sleepover at Rachie's?" Quinn's eyes grew ten sizes and she nodded enthusiastically
"Yeah fun!" She cheered dipping her nugget in some sauce. The room lauged as they watched Quinn. Quinn was oblivious too it as she was immersed in her delicious meal.
"Do your dads know about...this," Kurt spoke up. That was something Rachel hadn't thought about.
Rachel shook her head "They'll understand I mean we might have to hide Quinn being little from them until I can explain, Daddy works cases like Quinn's all the time it'll be fine!"
Kurt nodded in understanding gazing at how precious Quinn was. He wanted one too! Quinn oblivious to everything around her grabbed at her drink. "Mami dis go in baba?"
"Sure baby," Santana smiled and took Quinn's drink. Quinn beamed at Rachel.
"I so excited achie!" Quinn bounced a little on her chair and giggled. "We gonna have loadsa fun!"
"Is that right?" Rachel pulled Quinn onto her lap and cuddled her. She was too cute to resist. Quinn nodded and took her bottle from Santana.
"We won't stay long, just until we figure something out," Santana nodded as well as Brittany.
"You mean I can't keep her forever?!" Rachel feigned a pout. Quinn turned and looked at her like she had grown two heads.
"Rae I 'long to my mommies" she explained.
"Oh of course!" Rachel said acting as it was some grand epiphany. Quinn shook her head and rubbed Rachel's arm. Not all people are clever like her mommies. Rachel smiled and bounce Quinn on her lap.
"Mommy, Rae and Kurt stay?" Quinn begged with a pout. Bedtime would be forgotten and she could convince Rachel to get her more Quinnie snacks!
Santana shrugged "If they want to I don't see why not." Quinn turned to Rachel and Kurt with huge puppy dog eyes
"Stay?" She asked grabbing Kurt's hand.
"I'll stay!" Rachel said kissing Quinn's cheek
"So will I, we'll have fun!" Kurt said.
"Yay slweepovaaah!" Quinn shouted and grabbed Rachel's shirt to stop her from falling. Rachel picked her up, trying her hardest to not drop the tall girl and walked over to the bed.
"I think i'll leave it to your mommy to carry you, big girl," Rachel giggled along with Quinn who thought Rachel's face looked funny when she carried her.
Quinn giggled and bounced on the bed "Play play play!" Quinn demanded with a stern look. Rachel giggled sitting with Quinn on the bed
"What do you wanna play?" Rachel asked.
"I unno dere no toys hewe!" Quinn pouted "I want toys!"
"No toys?!" Rachel gasped and Quinn shook her head sadly. "I have loads of toys at home that you can play with, but," Rachel motioned for Quinn to move to the top of the bed. "I say we build a fort for our princess," Quinn's eyes widened and she nodded.
Rachel laughed pulling the blanket off the bed and strung it around the bed the created several walls using sheets. "Alright all ready for the princess to move in!" Quinn giggled and crawled inside.
"Mommies too mommies too!" Quinn shouted.
"Is there enough room for the princess and her mommies?" Santana asked after Brittany crawled in. Quinn made herself comfortable and Brittany's lap and nodded.
"Uh huh and for Rae and Kurt!" Quinn squealed as Santana crawled in. Rachel followed seconds later and sat close to Santana.
"Hope you don't mind me cuddling with your mami," Quinn giggled shook her head. She could share her mami for a while.
Quinn snuggled into Brittany sucking her thumb...where was her binky anyways? She looked around at everyone smiling at her and smiled back. "I wanna watch movie!" She pouted. Brittany also looked around for the pacifier since a thumb sucking habit was the worst, but, not wanting to move from her position, she'd left her off.
"Kurt, set up the movie!" Rachel shouted just as Kurt was about to crawl into the fort. Quinn smiled wide and made herself comfortable on Brittany's lap.
Kurt flipped through the movie channels until he found a kids station that was playing a whole marathon of Disney movies. Part way through Cinderella, Quinn felt a cramp in her tummy she squirmed a little and got comfy again.
"You okay baby?" Brittany whispered into her ear. Quinn nodded and rubbed her cheek against Brittany's chest, trying to ignore the cramps. Brittany place a hand on Quinn's lower back and rubbed softly. Quinn knew she had to go potty but she didn't wanna miss the movie! He stomach gurgled a bit and she hid against Brittany's neck.
"You okay little Q?" Kurt asked.
"Tummy ow" Quinn frowned and placed her hand on Quinn's stomach.
"Baby got an owie?" Brittany whispered and Quinn nodded. Maybe if she closed her eyes and cuddled into her mommy, it'd go away!
Quinn felt a little better in Brittany's lap she felt a passed a bit of gas a blushed bright red. Brittany rubbed her back and kissed her head. "Do you need to go potty?" She cooed.
Quinn shook her head. "No," she lied.
"It's okay if you do baby, the movie will still be on," Brittany whispered then began to move from out of the fort. Quinn whimpered and shook her head.
"No I fine!" But Quinn continued to hold onto Brittany.
"Quinn let's go potty" Brittany said "You're gonna get hurt."
"Why does it matter? I mean she is in a diaper" Santana shrugged. Quinn whimpered a little.
"Are you okay using your diaper for that?" Brittany asked.
"Icky mommy," Quinn whispered and looked at Santana. She shook her head and crawled back into the fort. "But I okay mommy," she nodded to reassure herself, she was fine.
Brittany drug Quinn out of the fort "Let's just go potty quickly"
Quinn whined and sat back down "No gotta!" she wined.
"Quinnie honey it's important to go potty when you need to" Rachel chimed in. Quinn looked at Rachel and pouted.
"But no wanna!" Quinn crossed her arms and glared up at Brittany. "No potty," she added. Brittany sighed and picked Quinn up.
"But then you'll feel icky baby, and your tummy will be owie for a while," Brittany ignored the little girl fussed and whined and carried her to the bathroom .
"Mommy no watch" Quinn whined.
"Promise I'll turn around honey"
"And door closed," Quinn added before pushing her pajamas and diaper down. Brittany closed the door then stared at it as she waited for Quinn to finish.
"Mommy?" She heard Quinn whimper. "Mommy I wanna cuddle mami now,"
Brittany turned around rushing to Quinn. "What's wrong baby? Are you all finished?" Quinn just whimpered pathetically "I'm going to go get Mami okay?"Brittany said patting Quinn's knee. Brittany leaned out the door and called for Santana. Santana poked her head out the fort and smiled at Brittany.
"Santana, at your service!" Brittany rolled her eyes playfully then motioned for Santana to walk to her.
"Quinn wants you," She said softly. Santana immediately crawled out from the fort and rushed towards the door. Santana entered the bathroom and Quinn hopped up waddling to her "Mami Mami" she cried. Santana took her in her arms.
"What's wrong baby girl?" Santana cooed.
"Tummy owie!" She whined and buried her face in Santana's neck. "Mami," Quinn whimpered. Santana quickly helped Quinn clean up then sat on the closed toilet, pulling Quinn onto her lap.
Santana rocked her a little more "shh baby you're okay" she cooed. Brittany came and sat close by rubbing soothing circles on Quinn's back.
"You're alright baby girl" she whispered. Quinn cuddled into her mami and closed her eyes. She never got this comfort when she felt sick.
"Watew mami?" Quinn whispered, her head resting against Santana's chest.
Brittany went off and got Quinn her bottle filling it with water. "Let's go snuggle on the bed." She said softly prying Quinn away from Santana to carry her to the bed.
Rachel poked her head out. "Is she okay?" Santana nodded, following them quickly. She got settled in the fort again. Brittany allowed for Quinn to crawl in as she did the same.
"Stomach ache, I think," Santana said as Quinn crawled up her legs. Santana smiled softly and held her arms out to Quinn. Quinn immediately snuggled into Santana and waited for her mommy.
"I told you that happy meal wasn't good!" Rachel pouted and placed her hand on Quinn's arm. "Silly mommies!"
Quinn drank her bottle slowly closing her eyes cuddling close to Santana. The most comfort she was usually given was a dose of medicine. This felt good safely cuddled in Santana's arms she felt sick but at least she was comfortable. Quinn wasn't asleep, but she wasn't fully awake, so when Santana pulled her thumb from her mouth, Quinn didn't fuss at all. She simply listened to Santana's heartbeat and the big kids whispering.
"Goodnight quinnie," Rachel whispered and kissed Quinn's head. She then felt the bed move and another kiss to her head.
"Goodnight q," Kurt said softly, following Rachel out of the fort. Quinn smiled softly nuzzling further into Santana. Brittany ran her fingers through her hair
"Mommy loves you baby girl" she whispered in her ear. She turned to Santana "We have to go home tomorrow.."
"To Rachel's," Santana looked down to Quinn. "Quinn needs her things," she added looking back up at Brittany.
"One of us will pack some stuff for her," Santana nodded and closed her eyes, keeping a protective hold on Quinn.
"They won't hurt her anymore" Brittany assured messaging Santana's shoulders. Santana nodded, tears forming in her eyes.
"I won't let them close to my baby" she said.
"You'll kick their butts so hard," Brittany smiled as she imitated Quinn. Santana once again nodded, but smiled also.
"What time do we leave?"
"Pretty early in the morning" Brittany yawned settling next to Santana.
"Do you think she'll be okay on the plane?" Santana asked. "I know tight her spaces make her nervous"
"Hopefully she'll sleep through it," Brittany scooted closer to Santana and placed a hand on Quinn's back. "Get some sleep mami, Quinn and I don't want to deal with a cranky mami," Brittany smiled as she heard Santana huff.
Santana laid Quinn down carefully then laid down wrapping an arm around her waist placing gentle kisses to the back of her head until she fell asleep.
Quinn woke up several hours later in the middle of the night crying she left her lion and her pacifier out of their little fort and now it was dark and she couldn't go out there! It was too scary "Mooooooomyyyyyyy" she wailed causing Brittany to sit straight up.
"What is it baby?" she asked sleepily.
""Lion an' binkie" Quinn sniffled.
"Sh," Brittany mumbled and crawled out from under the fort. She rubbed her eyes and tried to wake herself up so she was able to find the items. Luckily they were on the beside table so she didn't have to reach far. Brittany placed the items in Quinn's arms and the girl immediately fell back asleep, snuggled into the side of Santana.
The alarm clock went off promptly at 4 am waking both Santana and Brittany however Quinn continued to doze snoring softly. "Don't wake her just let her sleep as long as possible" Brittany said.
Santana nodded and slowly escaped from Quinn's grasp. She kissed Quinn's head and crawled out of the fort. Lucky Quinn, getting to sleep longer while they had to pack. Santana pouted and reluctantly stood up.
"I'll pack, you get ready," Brittany said as she hugged Santana from behind.
Once Brittany and Santana were packed and dressed Santana set to work dressing a sleeping Quinn. "We might grab something to keep her entertained in case she wakes up" Santana said when she finished. Brittany scooped the sleeping baby into her arms.
"We can grab a coloring book at the airport gift shop and I have my iPad"
Santana made sure Quinn's lion was safely tucked between the blonde's arms before the left the room. Quinn was obviously a deep sleeper when she didn't stir once. The whole glee club met up in the lobby of the hotel, but Santana and Brittany stayed back a little, not wanting to interact with any of them.
"Good morning!" Rachel chirped as she walked over to the pair. Santana groaned and rest her head on Brittany's shoulder. "Oh quinnie's still asleep, she's so cute!"
Brittany hushed Rachel not wanting her to wake Quinn. Rachel blushed lightly "Sorry" she whispered. Once on the bus Quinn started to stir and wake up.
"Mommy," Quinn whispered and rubbed her eyes. She smiled as she felt herself being rocked a little and knew it was her mommy.
"Morning angel," Brittany cooed softly. Quinn looked up with bleary eyes then closed them again. She made grabbing motions with her hand as snuggled into Brittany.
"Baba," she yawned.
Brittany frowned "we can't right now angel" Quinn teared up.
"Want Baba," she whimpered.
"There's nothing in your bottle baby" Brittany cooed.
"Mami," Quinn whined. Santana, who had been staring out of of the window for the journey, quickly looked at Quinn. A sleepy Quinn was adorable to say the least.
"Mami's here," Santana whispered, stroking Quinn's tousled hair. It looked a lot like a lion's mane.
"Baba," Quinn said again. She hoped her mami had one!
"We can get you something on the plane honey" Santana cooed. "Do you want your binkie til we get your bottle?" Quinn just started to cry, all she wanted was her bottle!
"Quinn," Santana sighed. "Mami promises you'll get baba on the plane, okay?" Quinn pouted and looked at Santana. Who knows how long that would be? Santana gently slipped the pacifier Quinn dropped back into her mouth. Quinn only whined for a few seconds before she fell asleep again.
When the bus arrived at the airport Brittany and Quinn were the last ones off the bus, everyone was getting too loud for Quinn to stay asleep. Santana kissed Brittany's cheek "you know we'll have to wake her up to go through security"
"I'll wake her up now so she doesn't throw a fit at security," Santana nodded. Brittany shook Quinn lightly then took a seat.
"Mommy," Quinn whined, cuddling into Brittany.
"Hey sweetie" Brittany cooed "we're gonna stay awake for a bit but we can nap on the plane okay?"
Quinn nodded and rubbed her eyes. "Baba now?"
"San can you go get some milk?" Brittany asked "and some breakfast?"
Santana took a bottle from Quinn's bag and walked around to find a suitable place to buy breakfast from.
"Nice sleep baby?" Quinn nodded and sucked hungrily on her pacifier.
"Tirwed mommy," She mumbled tiredly. Why was she awake so early?
"You can go back to sleep on the air plane honey" Santana returned with Quinn's bottle and some bagels. Quinn perked up "Mami Mami! Babaaaaaaaaaaa" Santana chuckled and handed Quinn the bottle. She tore of pieces of the bagel and fed Quinn.
Quinn quickly ate the pieces of bagel before grabbing her bottle and drinking from it. Santana smiled and fed Brittany while she held Quinn.
"Ready guys?" Mr Schue asked as he walked over to the trio.
Quinn hid her face against Brittany's neck. Brittany smiled and rubbed her back "Yeah" she said.
He smiled back "if you need anything let me know"
"Thanks," Brittany gently pried Quinn away from her. Mr Schue nodded and continued to round up each glee club member. "Okay angel face, you're gonna have to walk until we get on the plane, okay?" Quinn pouted and slowly slid off Brittany's lap. She had to steady herself a little as her legs wobbled.
Quinn toddled through security with no fussing. They were now in the terminal awaiting departure this was way boring and she just wanted to sleep! "Mommyyyyy bored!" She whined.
"Any minute now, okay," Brittany took hold of Quinn's hands and kissed them. Quinn pouted and leaned into Brittany, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Mommy, so so tirwed," Quinn closed her eyes. Why couldn't mommy carry her?
Brittany pulled quinn into her lap it's okay "Mami went and got you a coloring book" Santana cooed pulling the book from her bag showing it to Quinn "Do you wanna color?" Quinn nodded still wearing a big pout. Santana handed Quinn the book along with the pack of crayons she took from the restaurant. Quinn made sure to keep a hold of Brittany's shirt as she coloured.
Luckily for them, it was only a few more minutes before they were able to board their plane. Quinn was tearful but mainly due to being tired.
Brittany sat Quinn between her and Santana. Quinn was crying at first but not full on wailing like before "Shh Shh" Brittany cooed . She settled Quinn with her lion and her blanket "Rest honey"
"Binky mommy," Quinn sniffled and closed her eyes. She held Santana's hand tightly as she leant against Brittany. This way she was safe! Brittany pulled the pacifier from her pocket and placed it in her mouth giving It to Quinn.
"Bye," Quinn mumbled and it didn't take long before she fell asleep.
Brittany made sure Quinn safely buckled in and planted a kiss to her forehead. A family sitting across the aisle stared suspiciously at them. Santana shot them a warning glare. They soon looked away and Santana smiles. The glare always works.
"Judy and Russell should be out when we get back so I'll go pack her things," Santana whispered and kisses Quinn's hand. "You get Quinn settled at Rachel's,"
Brittany frowned "I don't want you going there alone"
"I'll be fine Britt" Santana rollled her eyes.
"Sannie it's not safe" Brittany pouted.
"I'll bring Kurt as a look out," Santana nodded but Brittany continued to pout. "I'll be fine, pouty face," Santana pecked Brittany's lips.
"Be quick," Brittany closed her eyes and rest her head on top of Quinn's.
Santana nodded "Of course"
Quinn slept for the whole flight back to Columbus "Quinnie we're almost home sweetheart" Santana cooed.
Quinn stirred awake "where awe we?"
"At the airport honey"
Quinn smiled and rubbed her eyes with her fists. "Otay," She yawned and sat up straighter in her chair. She glance out the window and smiled wide at the site of the airport.
"Home?" Quinn asked. Brittany frowned and held her close.
"To Rachies, yeah," Brittany said softly.
Quinn smiled "yay Rae!" she cheered.
"We have to go on a drive first" Brittany told her. Quinn pouted.
"Long drive?"
"Not too long," Santana smiled and held undo Quinn's seatbelt, Quinn held her mami's hand tightly as they walked off the plane. As soon as the blonde spotted Rachel and squealed. She missed her Rae!
"Hi baby!" Rachel cooed.
"Rae Rae I gonna stay at youw house!" Quinn bounced on her toes excitedly.
"I know I know sweetie!" Rachel said hugging Quinn to her side.
"You come in car with us?" Quinn asked, returning the hug. Rachel looked at Santana who nodded and Rachel smiled.
"Sure!" Quinn squealed happily and rushed over to her mommy. "We go now?!"
On the way home Quinn bounced and giggled with Rachel in the back seat. Brittany smiled and watched from the rear view.
"Uh oh Mommy my pants wet!" Quinn blurted. Brittany frowned and turned to look at Quinn. Her diaper leaked?
"We're nearly at Rachel's, honey, just sit uber still," Quinn nodded and pouted at the feeling.
Santana frowned "Sorry baby girl we should have changed you at the airport" She apologized feeling terrible about leaving her little girl wet for so long.
"It okay mami!"
Quinn looked out the window and her eyes widened when the car came to a stop.
"Rae's house?" She pointed out the window and looked around at the people in the car. Rachel nodded and climbed out, along with Brittany.
"Are your dads home?" Brittany asked unbuckling Quinn's seatbelt. They needed to get Quinn cleaned up stat.
Rachel glanced out her window "Yeah looks like it" she frowned. "I'll get us in" she said determinedly.
Quinn pouted "Mommy wet" she whined. Rachel hurried inside ahead of the other girls
"Daddy! Dad! I'm home!" She called.
"Hey sweetheart!" Hiram called from the kitchen. Rachel smiled; they could get Quinn in easily.
"Daddy, could my friends stay for a few days?" Rachel smiled sweetly. "I'll explain why later," Brittany followed with Quinn close to her side and Santana following behind.
"Hi Mr. Berry and...uh other Mr. Berry!" Brittany greeted.
The Berry men exchanged confused glances "Yeah baby girl sure" Leroy said.
"Thanks!" Rachel smiled gratefully and ushered the girls from the room.
"Are you sure this is okay?" Santana asked as they walked up the stairs. Rachel nodded.
"I'll explain the situation to them later then they'll be more than happy to help, I'm sure," Quinn squirmed as she walked and whimpered.
Once in Rachel's room Brittany made quick work of getting Quinn changed and into new pants. "There we go baby girl" she cooed running her hands along Quinn's arms.
"Fank you Mommy!" Quinn beamed.
"You'll be staying in the guest room across the hall," Rachel smiled and sat beside Quinn. "And if your mommies let you, we can have sleepovers in my room!" Quinn nodded eagerly and smiled sweetly at her mommies. They'd definitely say yes!
"I suppose," Brittany sighed then chuckled as Quinn almost tackled her too the ground with a hug. Santana smiled and kissed Quinn's forehead.
"I'm going to get Quinn's stuff," Santana rolled her eyes at the glare she received from Brittany. "I text Kurt already,"
"While she's there we can go talk to my dads" Rachel suggested.
"Should Quinn be big while we're talking to them" at hearing this whined she didn't want to be big! That was dumb!
"No she should be fine I feel like my dads will love her" She enthused taking Quinn's hand "ready?" she asked looking to Brittany.
"Ready!" Quinn smiled, answering for her mommy. Brittany rolled her eyes playfully and nodded. Quinn stayed close to Rachel's side as they walked down the stairs and towards the kitchen.
"Dad, daddy?" Rachel called out, smiling when she saw them still sat in the kitchen.
"What is it Rach?" Leroy asked sitting at the kitchen bar.
"It's about Quinn" Rachel said "and why she needs to stay here" she looked between her fathers who both seemed concerned. "She's abused at home she can't go back there daddy!" Rachel told them dramatically. Quinn whimpered a bit and hid her face against Brittany,
"She has to apply for emancipation so she can stay with Brittany and Santana," Rachel carried on. Brittany rubbed Quinn's back to soothe her and the blonde soon calmed down. Leroy and Hiram both listened carefully, nodding as Rachel spoke.
"Then we'll help her until it's sorted," Leroy nodded. The though of beating their own daughter made him sick, so he was more than willing to help her out.
"But there's one other thing," Rachel looked back at Quinn. "Quinn isn't exactly, Quinn,"
"What do you mean?' Hiram asked.
"Well...Quinn is uhm" Rachel stammered on
"Wittle!" Quinn blurted out "I's wittle!" Hiram and Leroy shared a look then stared at Quinn. Quinn hid behind Brittany and played with her mommy's shirt, she didn't like the way they were looking at her!
"It helps her," Rachel sat opposite her fathers and sighed. "To relive her childhood, with loving parents," Rachel pouted at her fathers "Please be nice to her she's very sweet and quite adorable"
Hiram nodded "o..of course as long as we get spoiling rights" Rachel rolled her eyes. And Brittany giggled.
"So who are her parents?" Leroy asked
"Santana and I," Brittany smiled and gently move Quinn in front of her. The girl smiled shyly and turned around to bury her face in Brittany's chest.
"She's a little shy but she'll come out of her shell soon enough" Rachel told them.
"Maybe some cookies will help that along" Hiram said laying a hand on Quinn's back.
"Cookie?" Quinn said peeking up at him. Hiram nodded and walked over to the counter, pulling a cookie from the packet.
"Cookie!" Quinn smiled and moved away from Brittany. People can't be bad if they give you cookies!
Hiram smiled "Would you like some milk too sweetie?" He asked. Quinn nodded.
"Yes pwease sir!"
Quinn beamed at her mommy then Rachel. Living here will be so much fun! Hiram placed a glass of milk along, with two cookies, on the counter beside Rachel. Quinn warily looked at th glass then whispered.
"Baba?"
Brittany smiled "Mommy will get it baby" Hiram smiled affectionately at the girl. Leroy sat next to her.
"Do you have any toys to play with sweetpea?" He asked
"Uh uh," Quinn shook her head sadly. "I has lion and toy from happy meal!"
"Well," Leroy said. Quinn took a bite from her cookie and watched the man beside her. "We'll go see if we can find any of Rachel's old toys and you can have those," Quinn's eyes widened. Her own toys?!
Brittany returned with Quinn's bottle and poured the milk into it leaving a little in her glass so she could dip her cookies. Quinn smiled happily and nibbled on her cookies and drank her milk. While she did, Leroy disappeared into the attic while Hiram chatted quietly with Rachel and Brittany let Quinn babble her ears off. When Quinn had finished with her treat, Leroy came down the stairs with a few big boxes.
"Here we go sweetie you can pick from these toys" he said setting them in the living room. Quinn's eyes widened and she ran over to the boxes, dropping in her knees in front of them.
"Wow," she whispered and looked to the kitchen where everyone was smiling admiringly at her. "Mommy look!"
"Woah that's a lot of toys huh?" Quinn nodded excitedly. She was amazed with all the toys she found! Baby toys and dolls and ponies, a tea set! She'd never seen so many toys in her life! She pulled some out and just started playing oblivious to everything around her all these toys needed to be played with!
Quinn looked up as she heard the front door open. She smiled as her mami came into view and she immediately went over to hug her.
"Hey baby," Santana dropped the bags before returning the hug.
"Mami so many toys!"
"Woah all for you!" Santana said. Quinn nodded excitedly.
"Play wif me Mami!" Quinn ran back over to the toys and plopped down. "Raes daddies really nice Mami!" she said with a big grin.
"Just let mami put your bags upstairs, okay?" Quinn nodded as she continued to play with her toys.
"We'll do it, you girls have fun," Hiram smiles and picked up the bags, along with Leroy. Santana smiles gratefully and walked to Quinn.
Quinn sat on Santana's lap "What did you get Mami?" she asked.
"Just stuff from your house sweetie" Santana said kissing her head.
"What 'tuff Mami?" Quinn patronized.
Santana laughed softly and shook her head, she held Quinn close to her and kissed her temple.
"As much of your room I could fit in those two bags," Quinn giggled and pulled a doll onto her lap.
"Mami, how long we stay here?"
"For a little while sweetie" Santana smiled "just until we get things sorted"
Quinn held the doll close "Kay...we play now?"
"Sure," Santana smiled and looked at the doll. "What do you wanna play?" Quinn looked at te pile of toys then pulled out another doll.
"You be baby cause I mommy," Quinn nodded and walked the doll across the floor, babbling things as she did so.
Santana responded to Quinn and played along with her little game for the better part of an hour before the Berry men called them in for lunch.
"You didn't have to cook for us thanks so much!" Brittany said.
"Well little Quinn needs to be well nourished and so do her mommies," Leroy smiled. Quinn looked up and smiled wide st the table. So much food! Quinn abandoned her doll and ran up to Brittany. Brittany got Quinn situated and fixed her a plate of food setting it in front of her with a kiss to head.
"Rae Rae sit next to me!" She giggled.
"I'm coming I'm coming!" Rachel laughed sitting next to the little girl. Quinn began devouring her food, she hadn't eaten since this morning!
"Careful baby, you don't want another owie tummy," Santana said softly, sitting opposite Rachel and Quinn. Quinn's eyes widened and she spat out the food in her mouth.
"Quinn!" Brittany chastised. Rachel quickly cleaned up the food with her napkin.
"Sowry Mommy," Quinn pouted "Sowry Rae's daddy" her lower lip trebled dangerously. Hiram jumped in to fix it quickly.
"Oh that's okay sweetpea" he told her with a smile "You're only little you didn't know, but now you do! So you know not to do it again!" he smiled broadly at the adorable little blonde. Brittany let a sigh of relief and gave Hiram a thankful glance.
Quinn nodded and leaned into Rachel, burying her face in the brunettes arm.
"You don't want any more food quinnie?" Rachel wrapped her arm around the blonde who shook her head.
"Do you want Rachie or your mommies to feed you?" Rachel cooed.
"Rae feed me?" Quinn pouted.
"Of course Cutiepie!" Rachel giggled scooping some applesauce into a spoon to feed Quinn. Quinn smiled but continued to hold onto Rachel as tightly as she could.
"No more," Quinn turned her head away and tugged at Rachel's arm. Her diaper was wet but she didn't want to say it out loud.
Everyone looked at Quinn with concern. " Are you okay baby?" Brittany asked. Quinn just whined on the verge of tears her bottom was all itchy! It was yucky. Rachel frowned and patted Quinn's bottom realizing the problem.
"Quinn and I are going to unpack some things," Rachel smiled and stood up. Quinn looked at her and frowned. She didn't want to unpack she just wanted to be changed! Rachel made quick work of cleaning hers and Quinn's plates away then held her hand out to the blonde. By the way Quinn was moving, Brittany and Santana had caught onto the problem. Quinn reluctantly took Rachel's hand and stood up.
Once they were up in her room Rachel kissed Quinn's temple. "We're just gonna change you bottom sweetie"
Quinn looked up with a smile and hurried over to the towel where she was changed earlier, she threw her legs up in the air. Rachel giggled softly and walked over to the girl after gathering supplies. She untaped the diaper wiping Quinn clean she realized that she a little red in the diaper area.
"Stay here Qbear," Rachel said softly, laying a towel over Quinn's lower half. "I'm just gonna get mommy," Rachel quickly walked out the room and Quinn pouted. She pulled the blanket over her head and babbled to herself. Rachel and Brittany returned merely moments later and both laughed at Quinn's actions.
"Is that right, huh?" Brittany said softly, taking a seat beside Quinn. "Good story baby girl," Quinn pushed the blanket away and smiled at her mommy. Quinn nodded and stuck her thumb in her mouth.
Brittany ran her hand through Quinn's hair kissing her cheek. "Let's see your bottom honey" she said pushing Quinn to lay back. "Oh no that doesn't look very comfy she frowned and Quinn shook her head.
"Uh uh itchy" she pouted. Brittany also pouted and pressed a kiss to Quinn's stomach.
"Do you have any cream, Rach?" Brittany rubbed small circles on Quinn's stomach and the girl closed her eyes. It took her mind off the burning and the itchiness. Rachel pulled a face then ran off to the bathroom to look through her supplies.
She came back with a frown "I don't have any but my daddies are about to go out on their bi-weekly grocery shopping trip and they can get some!" she assured. Quinn whined and fussed she wanted it fixed now! "I guess we can just leave her without a diaper until they do"
"Thanks Rach remind me to send your dads a card for being so totally awesome" Brittany said.
"I'm sure they'd appreciate that," Rachel smiled and ran out of the room to ask her fathers. Brittany poked Quinn's legs before pulling her up.
"Okay monkey face," Quinn giggled at the name and pulled a face at Brittany who made one back. "No diaper for a while, we know you can do that!" Quinn jumped up.
"No pants mommy!"
Quinn ran out of the room chanting "No pants No pants" she giggled, being naked was fun and silly!
"Naked baby!" Santana laughed scooping Quinn up. Quinn laughed
"Nakie!"
"Uh huh and i'm gonna pinch that cute little butt of yours!" Santana gently dropped Quinn onto the sofa and began tickling her. Quinn squealed and laughed as she tried to crawl away.
"My butt mami!"
Santana chuckled and pulled Quinn into her lap peppering her face with sweet kisses. Quinn returned them with sloppy wet kisses "I love you Mami!" She hugged her tight this was her Mami not Judy. Brittany and Santana would always love her and she knew it.
"I love you more baby!" Quinn giggled and buried her face in Santana's neck. No diapers was fun! Brittany soon appeared beside them and smiled as she saw Santana curled back with Quinn.
"Are you having cuddles without mommy!?" she asked with fake accusation. Quinn's head popped up.
"Mommy cuddle Mommy cuddle!" she said. Brittany chuckled and sat on the other side of her cuddling both of her girls.
"I demand cuddles later!" Rachel shouted from the kitchen causing the trio to laugh. Quinn sat on Santana's lap, smiling wide. Her mommies where so pretty! Quinn pokes Santana's cheek and stared at her face.
"Mami you pwetty" she mused. Santana smiled.
"Aw thank you baby"she cooed. Quinn turned to Brittany.
"Mommy pwetty" she smiled dopily "An' Rae is suprmer duper extra pwetty"
"Uh oh, Quinnie's got a crush on Rachel," Brittany teased and Quinn pouted, shaking her head.
"Not nice mommy!" Quinn lightly slapped Brittany's arm. In her mind, mommy deserved a spanking!
She pouted up at Santana "Mami! Mommy bein mean!" She whined.
Santana gasped "Is she!? That's no good"
Quinn nodded "She need a 'pankin"
"No," Brittany pouted and hugged Quinn's arm tightly. "Mommy doesn't need a spanking, she's sorry!" Quinn looked down and patted her mommy's head lightly.
"Buh you meanie," Quinn pouted too then looked at Santana. She didn't know what to do! Santana was about to speak, but as per, Rachel decided to butt in.
"I say mommy should take a nap instead," Rachel smiled and looked at the blonde. Brittany smiled, a nap did sound nice she hadn't slept on the plane like everyone else so she smiled thankfully at Rachel.
"Yeah mommy nap!' Quinn demanded "go nap!"
"Alright, alright!" Brittany reluctantly stood up from her comfortable position. "I'm going!" She gave Quinn and Santana a kiss on the forehead before heading to the stairs. "Just keep an eye on miss no pants!" Quinn smiled triumphantly watching her mommy walk upstairs. Mommies should be punished, too! Her smile was soon wiped away when the burn of the ongoing rash made it's appearance.
"Rae daddies back?" Quinn asked with a pout.
Rachel sat next to her "Not yet sweetheart" she pouted. "Do you wanna turn on some cartoons until they are?" Quinn lay back with her head in Santana's lap and legs in Rachel's slipping her thumb in her mouth with a nod. Why couldn't find her binky again? Rachel smiled fondly at her and set up the tv on the preschool channel.
Santana ran her hands through Quinn's hair and settled on watching the blonde. The smile on Quinn's face was heart warming.
"I love you," Santana whispered as she leant down to kiss the blonde's forehead. Quinn was too concentrated on her programme to respond. Rachel had laid a blanket across Quinn's lower half in case her fathers where to walk in.
Quinn pouted "I wan my binky...an my lion!" Rachel looked down at her.
"If you can ask nicely like a big girl I'll go get them" she said patting Quinn's legs.
Quinn pouted and let out a small whine "please lion please binky?" Rachel kissed Quinn's hands and got up from the couch to fetch her things. When Rachel came back with Quinn's things, the girls eyes widened. She felt like she hadn't see those things in forever!
"One lion and one pacifier for you," Rachel smiled and placed the pacifier in Quinn's mouth and the lion in Quinn's arms.
Quinn cuddled her lion close and sucked fervently on her pacifier smiling behind it. "Fanks Rae!"
Rachel ruffled her hair "You're welcome darling girl"
Quinn turned her head back to the TV but soon buried her face in Santana's lap, just enjoying the comfort. Santana smiled and continued to stroke the blonde's hair.
"Rachel!" A voice called out from the front door. Both Santana and Rachel looked out the window to see her fathers car parked and Hiram and Leroy carrying the bags into the house.
"I'll go help," Santana lifted Quinn's head so she was able to stand up, which was met with a whine.
"Mami?" Quinn pouted and reached out to her. Santana kissed the blonde's hands.
"Mami's going to help Rae's daddies,"
Quinn hopped up "I help too! I help too!" She said running to the door. Luckily Hiram caught her before she got outside.
"Better stay in here little jaybird." Quinn gave him a pout.
"I wanna help too!" Hiram handed her a bag filled with things just for her.
"You can put the things in this bag away" he winked. Rachel caught up to her and laughed as Quinn dragged the bag to the stairs.
"Hey, ms nakie butt!" Rachel called out, lightly swatting Quinn's bare behind. Quinn giggled and got on her hands and knees to crawl up the stairs. "Sorry about that," Rachel smiled apologetically at her father and quickly followed Quinn to make sure she was safe. Hiram laughed and shrugged it off, carrying his bags into the kitchen.
Rachel took Quinn into her bedroom and sat her on the bed "Okay little missy let's put a diaper on your little hiney" she cooed pulling Quinn's legs for her to lay down. Quinn, however rolled over and tried to crawl away. She needed to see what was in that bag.
"I got your cream baby, come on," Rachel urged and gently tugged on Quinn's legs again. Quinn shook her head and finally managed to escape Rachel's grip. She emptied the contents of the bag onto the bed and giggled.
"Put dis on?" Quinn asked and held up a pink shirt that Rachel's dad must have bought her.
"Sure honey but first your cream and diaper" Rachel said crossing her arms. Quinn pouted but crawled to Rachel laid down and lifted her legs. Rachel smiled and set to work getting her dressed.
"Owie," Quinn winced at the touch of the cream on her rash. "Owie Rae!" Quinn whined trying to move away. Rachel sent a sympathetic look to Quinn before taping the diaper up. She wiped her hands on the towel and helped Quinn sit up.
"It'll hurt for a little while, but me and everyone else will take your mind off it!" Rachel wiped Quinn's tears and took the shirt from the girl's hands.
Quinn lifted her arms and put the pink shirt on Quinn kissing her nose. "Let's see what else my daddies got you!" Quinn picked through all the stuff! There were toys and cute outfits and a sippy cup too. Quinn smiled widely.
"Rae what I posed ta call your daddies?" She asked.
Rachel took a seat beside Quinn and thought for a second.
"You can call them papa," Rachel shrugged and stood up. She held her hand out to Quinn then lead the girl out of the room.
"Otay!" Quinn smiled brightly and looked at the door to her and her mommies bedroom. "Oh mommy, mommy!"
Brittany grumbled a bit "Hi baby girl" she cooed sleepily.
"Papa Le an' Pop pop Hiram gotted me stuffs!" she said proudly showing off her new shirt that read "Sweetheart" and was patterned with cupcakes. she loved it!
"Wow! Baby! Be sure you say thank you honey"
"Uh huh I will!" Quinn jumped onto the bed and cuddled up to her mommy. Brittany smiled and closed her eyes again, not fully awake. Rachel chuckled softly ad stood by the door.
"Come on quinnie, let's leave your mommy to wake up," Quinn shook her head.
"My mommy" she whined cuddling close to Brittany.
"Mommy is having a nap sweetie let's go play with your new toys" Rachel whispered. Quinn frowned, she was cuddling her mommy but she hadn't even seen all her new toys yet she squirmed of the bed and over Rachel.
"Rae play?" Quinn asked sweetly.
"Sure," Rachel smiled and lead Quinn downstairs. Quinn immediately ran to the kitchen where she could hear talking. She couldn't wait to show off her new shirt!
"Mamiii!" Quinn shouted and jumped onto Santana's lap. The brunette laughed and grabbed Quinn's waist.
"Look at my shirt!" She bounced as she talked. Santana smiled.
"Thats adorable a good shirt for you my litte sweetheart! But where'd you get it?" She asked Quinn placed her fingers in her mouth and pointed to the Berry men with her other hand.
"Did you say thank you?" Santana gently pulled Quinn's fingers from her mouth and looked around for her pacifier. Quinn must have hidden it. Quinn shook her head and clambered off Santana's lap. She ran over to Hiram and hugged him tightly.
"Tank you pop pop!" She quickly moved on to hug Leroy. "Tank you papa!"
Leroy and Hiram beamed "You're quite welcome sweetie" Hiram said ruffling her hair.
"Did you see what else we got you?" Leroy asked. Quinn nodded.
"Stuffs!" She giggled. Quinn happily skipped over to Rachel and took her hand.
"We gonna pway, bye!" Quinn pulled Rachel to the living room. Santana shook her head while smiling.
"We all need to talk soon, big girl Quinn and all," Leroy said and Santana nodded.
"Thanks for getting at stuff..you realky didnt need too" Santana said. Hiram shrugged
"Don't worry about it we get spoiling rights remember?" He chuckled sitting down next to her.
"And if you're not comfortable with her calling you papa and pop pop I'm really sorry" Santana apologized.
"It's fine, no need to apologize Santana," Leroy placed a hand on her shoulder and Hiram sent a reassuring smile to her.
"If mommy or mami need a break, we'll be more than willing to help," Leroy nodded in agreement and Santana smiled gratefully. It seemed like Quinn was going to have an extremely loving family.
"Thank you so so much" The latina said tears coming into her eyes.
"Oh sweetheart it's not a problem at all it's wonderful what you're doing for Quinn!" Hiram said hugging her.
Santana smiled and hugged Hiram back tightly, making sure her appreciation came across.
"Come on," Hiram smiled as he pulled away from the hug. "I'll order take out and then we can talk about what we're going to do," Santana nodded and wiped her eyes, she looked towards the stairs where she heard a sleepy looking Brittany walk down.
Santana held out her hand and Brittany took it as she cam down the stairs. "Hi babe" Santana murmured kissing her head.
"Hey" Brittany yawned wrapping an arm around Santana's waist.
"Did mommy enjoy her nap?" Santana teased. Brittany nodded and rest her head on Santana's shoulder, smiling. She liked the idea of day time naps. "Okay sleepy, we need to get big Quinn out," Brittany pulled away and smiled at Santana. She rubbed her eyes a few times then pat her faces to fully wake her up.
Santana and Brittany went to the living room where they found Rachel playing with Quinn. Both smiling happily.
"Qbear come see mommy" she cooed. Quinn jumped up and ran over to her.
"Yeah mommy?" Brittany pulled Quinn onto her lap and brushed a few stray hairs from her face.
"We have to talk to big Quinn for a while," Brittany said softly, not missing the sigh Quinn released. Being big Quinn was tiring. "Once we're all done talking, no more big Quinn till school, okay?" Quinn reluctantly nodded but rest her head on Brittany's shoulder.
"Can I have pants?" Quinn asked quietly knowing that it would help her be big.
"Mami will get them sweetie" Santana said patting her leg before she got up.
Quinn played with some loose thread on her new shirt while she willed herself to become big. Just for a few minutes, right? Easy. She was glad when Santana came back down with sweatpants and helped her put them on. Despite being "big Quinn", Santana and Brittany would always act like her mami and mommy. Quinn sat back down on Brittany's lap and looked at Rachel's fathers sitting on the sofa opposite.
"D...did I do something wrong?" Quinn asked chin quivering.
"Oh sweetie no not at all we just need to talk about what needs to be done to keep you safe" Hiram said. Quinn nodded and cuddled into Brittany. She knew she'd have to talk about what happened at home and it gave her chills. Santana leant over and rubbed her leg, sending her a reassuring smile.
"Rachel mentioned something about emancipation," Hiram said softly.
Quinn nodded "I don't know if I'll be able" she whispered all this was nerve raking!
"It's okay Quinn I'll help you, but no matter what I'm gonna make sure you get taken from Judy and Russell okay?" Leroy assured, if it was up to him he's beat the shit out of Russell himself.
"It's scary" Quinn whimpered.
"You have us, we're gonna protect you," Brittany said softly and kissed the top of the blonde's head. Quinn buried her face in Brittany's neck. She didn't want to be big Quinn anymore.
"No more! No more!" Quinn said before she burst into tears. Brittany began rocking her gently
"Okay baby girl okay no more" she cooed. Santana rubbed Quinn's back and kissed her head. She could tell this was going to be hard.
"Emancipation it is," Hiram whispered and pushed his folder away. He knelt in front of Quinn and placed his hand on her knee as a kind gesture. "It's okay Quinn, we're sorry,"
Quinn looked at him sniffling "it otay" she whispered she cried and cried. She was simply inconsolable and nothing anyone tried was helping her. Brittany held Quinn tightly as she stood up and slowly walked around the room, cooing in Quinn's ear. Rachel went upstairs to grab Quinn's lion and Santana searched for the lost pacifier. She rummaged through the pile of toys and found the pacifier stuffed in a small car.
"Look what mami has, Quinnie," Santana said softly and pulled the pacifier out. Quinn slowly turned her head and looked at Santana. Santana quickly slipped the pacifier in Quinn's mouth, hoping it would help her calm down.
Quinn sucked on it for a few seconds before spitting it out and continuing to wail. Rachel gave Quinn her lion which the girl took but kept on crying. Hiram dashed over to the piano and began to play Rachel sang and Quinn's sobs quitted
Quinn chewed on her lion's ear as she listened to Rachel sing. Brittany sat on the floor in front of Rachel and Quinn stared up at her. Her voice was so pretty! Santana and Leroy joined them and quietly sang.
"Wow," Quinn whispered and rubbed her eyes. Rachel smiled and blew a kiss to Quinn.
Quinn blushed and hid her face behind her lion. Rachel giggled and sat in front of Quinn pulling the lion away from her face "Aww don't hide from me Quinnie" she cooed. Quinn giggled and tried to crawl away and hide.
Rachel grabbed Quinn's waist and pulled her onto her lap. Quinn giggled and shoved the lion in Rachel's face.
"Meanie!" Rachel pouted and moved the lion. Quinn's eyes widened and she quickly hugged Rachel, kissing her cheek as she did so. Rachel smiled and held her close. "You better now Quinnie?"
"Yeah gotted scared.." she whispered. Looking down. "But singing made better" she smiled. "Mommies make better too"
"We're all here to make you feel better!" Rachel beamed and kissed both of Quinn's tear stained cheeks. Quinn smiled and crawled back over to Brittany, who pulled her onto her lap.
"I love yous," Quinn smiled and looked around at everyone.
Santana kissed Quinn's cheek "we love you too" Quinn yawned cutely and snuggled against Brittany's shoulder Rachel sang some more and Brittany rocked her while Santana rubbed her back and eventually Quinn was out like a light.
Santana lightly squeezed the front of Quinn's diaper then whispered to Brittany. "Change then bed," Brittany nodded and carefully stood up, so she wouldn't wake Quinn.
"Thank you for that," Santana said quietly, sending smiles to Rachel's fathers and the girl herself.
Brittany laid Quinn on the bed making quick work of changing her and the tucking her in.
Downstairs Leroy and Hiram were smiling "No problem that used to calm Rachel down all the time"
Santana beamed then excused herself to go check on Quinn and Brittany. Santana snuck into the guest room and climbed on the bed where Brittany was cuddling Quinn. Quinn was fast asleep and Brittany was well on her way there.
"Dinner's soon you want me to come wake you when it gets here?" Brittany sat up with a yawn.
"No no it's fine if I sleep now I won't sleep tonight" she said getting up wrapping her arms around Santana "I was just making sure she was okay before I left"
Santana smiled "Can we just watch her for awhile?" she asked rubbing Quinn's back.
Brittany nodded and rest her head on Santana's shoulder. Both smiled at Quinn's peaceful sleeping figure.
"I love her," Santana whispered and ran her fingers through Quinn's hair. Brittany nodded and tightened her arms around Santana. "So much,"
Santana leaned into Brittany "Do you think we're doing the right thing?" she mused. Brittany sighed but she nodded
"I don't know, but it defiantly feels right" she said. Santana nodded in agreement and moved to lay down beside Quinn. She pulled the girl into her arms and held her close.
"You're safe with mami and mommy quinnie," she whispered.
Quinn sighed contentedly and wrapped her hand around Santana's finger. Santana nearly melted and Brittany had to quickly snap a photo with her phone before laying with them "How'd I get so lucky?" she asked.
"I should ask you?" Santana chuckled lightly.
"I love my two angels," Brittany smiled then kisses Santana's then Quinn's forehead. "So much!" Santana placed a finger over Brittany's lips as she felt Quinn stir. Both stared at the sleeping blonde for a few moments then sighed in relief when Quinn settled back into sleep.
