AN: Thank you to the reviews and sorry this update took a while! But we hope you enjoy it!
The first few days settled in at the Berry's had been tough, but they managed to get Quinn into a routine. The girl had been happy, ecstatic even and the whole household loved the energetic blonde. Brittany woke up early Monday and woke Quinn up.
"Time for school baby" she cooed. Quinn rubbed her eyes and whined.
"Mommy no" Quinn rolled over and buried her face in the bed.
"Come on baby," Brittany rubbed Quinn's back then pulled the covers away. Quinn pouted and curled up.
"If you get up and let me change you I'll make you bacon for breakfast" Brittany encouraged. Quinn immediately sat up.
"Up! I Up!" she said getting out of bed. "Get dressed we get dressed! Bacon!" Brittany giggled and held a finger to her lips.
"Sh, don't wake mami yet!" Quinn nodded and crawled to the end of the bed where Brittany was waiting. Quinn laid down and allowed herself to be changed.
"I has to wear one to school mommy?" Quinn yawned.
Brittany thought "How bout a Pull Up?" she offered.
Quinn nodded "I use potty like a big girl...but justs in case" Brittany smiled.
"Good thinking!" she praised. Quinn smiled and held her arms out to Brittany. Brittany picked her girl up and kissed her forehead.
"More bacon?" Quinn asked hopefully. Brittany laughed softly and nodded. That girl was obsessed with bacon. Luckily Rachel's fathers also loved bacon, so there was a constant supply of it in the house. Quinn often stole bacon from their plates and hid behind her mami insisting she ate it. She got away with it most of the time.
"You're gonna turn into a piece of bacon," Brittany cooed as they walked out the room.
Quinn gasped "No wanna do that!" her eyes wide.
"You won't really sweetie, just an expression" Quinn looked confused but nodded.
They weren't surprised when they saw Rachel and her fathers already gathered in the kitchen, cooking breakfast. Quinn jumped from Brittany's arms and ran over to Leroy, smiling all the while.
"Good morning" he greeted, kissing the blondes hair.
"Morning Papa!" Quinn greeted happily giving him a big hug. "Are you making bacon?" Leroy chuckled.
"Of course I am! You think I'd forget we have to feed our little lion?" Quinn giggled and playfully bit his arm.
"Lion hungry!" She pouted and poked her stomach. Brittany rolled her eyes and sat beside Rachel. That girl was always hungry.
Leroy ruffled her hair "Okay little lion go sit at the table and I'll get you your food"
Quinn skipped over to her seat and sat down bouncing on her bottom singing nonsense to herself while she waited for her breakfast. Brittany helped plate up breakfast while Rachel entertained Quinn. This consisted off rock paper scissors and singing songs. Quinn loved when Rachel sang.
"Okay, I got the lion's food!" Brittany placed the plate in front of Quinn whose eyes widened. So much bacon!
"Fank you!" Quinn chirped before digging into her meal, it was so so yummy! Brittany chuckled as she ate her own food.
"Don't make a big mess sweetie" Brittany said.
"I wont's Mommy!"
Quinn smiled at everyone around the table before noticing something was missing. Not just something, someone! Her mami. Where was her mami? Quinn pouted and picked up her last piece of bacon before getting up. Detective Quinn was out to find her mami!
"Where you going baby?" Brittany scooted back on her chair and looked at Quinn who had made her way to the door.
"Gotta finds my Mami!" Quinn stated. "Maaaaaaaamiiiiii!" She called out. Running down the hall to the bedroom. There she was! In bed still asleep! That wasn't fair! She went over and climbed up on the bed she started bouncing "Mami up Mami up!" she chanted until the Latina began to stir.
Quinn stopped bouncing to think of a better idea to wake her up. She looked at her piece of bacon, which got smaller each moment then smiled. Her mami loved bacon too!
"Mami," Quinn leant down and waved the bacon over Santana's face. Santana crinkled her nose and turned over, not fully awake. "Up Mami!" Quinn demanded and poked Santana's lips with the bacon.
Santana groaned as she fully awoke "Hi baby" she cooed pulling her little girl back to lie down "Whatcha doin'?"
"Mami nooo up!" Quinn whined "Gotta get up Mami!"
"Sh, five more minutes," Santana kissed Quinn's head and ignored the girl's protest of getting up. "You smell like bacon," Santana mumbled. Quinn giggled and held up the small piece of bacon she had left.
"Breakfast!" Quinn ate the last piece and cuddle into her mami. Maybe a few moments of cuddling wouldn't be too bad.
"Ah they fed the lion!"
A few moments of snuggles later Brittany appeared in the door way. "Hey you two out of bed it's almost time for school"
"See Mami tolds you!" Quinn said as she sat up. "Mommy Mami not gettin up!" she pouted.
Brittany rolled her eyes and walked over to the bed. She helped Quinn out of Santana's grasp then set to work on getting the Latina up, which involved tickling.
"Okay okay!" Santana laughed, trying to push Brittany's hands away. Quinn stood to the side laughing at her mommies antics.
Santana got out of bed and gave Quinn a tight hug "Did you sleep well my baby princess?" She cooed.
"Good sleepies Mami!" Quinn nodded.
"No time for cuddles!" Brittany interrupted. "We have to get ready for school," both Santana and Quinn pouted at this.
"No school," Quinn whimpered and hid herself behind Santana.
"You have to go to school baby" Brittany urged. Quinn whined all the more.
"But I no wanna go Mommy wanna stay littles!" she whimpered stomping her foot
"Quinn we have to go to school, we can talk to Ms. P and figure something out," Santana said adding a hint of sternness to her voice.
Quinn mumbled under her breath and dragged her feet as she walked to Brittany.
"Mommy will help you get ready, go chose some clothes," Brittany kissed Quinn's forehead and patted Quinn's backside.
Quinn picked out a pink dress and a white cardigan and handed it to Brittany.
"Cute outfit Quinnie!" Brittany cooed as she got her undressed.
Quinn smiled albeit small. She held onto Brittany's shoulders as a pull-up was tugged up her legs.
"It'll be okay baby," Brittany said softly as she pulled the dress over the blonde's head. She then leant forward and allowed Quinn to cuddle up to her.
Quinn nodded "Mommy I wanna stay little" she pouted.
"I know you do baby girl but you only have to big in class okay?" Brittany cooed.
Quinn nodded "What if I get scared?"
"Mami and I will be with you for most of the day," Brittany rubbed Quinn's back and sighed. "If you're scared, call one of us, even Rachel, okay?" Quinn buried her face in Brittany's shoulder and whimpered. Big school sucks, big people suck.
"Let mommy get ready while we have some cuddles before school," Santana said softly.
Quinn buried her face in Santana's chest "I wish I could go to pre school" she mumbled. Santana rocked her
"It's gonna be just fine baby girl, just fine " She cooed.
"Let's get your shoes on then wait for mommy downstairs," Santana pulled back and took hold of Quinn's hand.
"Be quick at school?" Quinn said hopefully and stayed close to Santana as they walked downstairs. Santana sighed she hated seeing her baby bring so scared.
"We'll be super quick baby" she said.
"I no wanna go" Quinn reiterated. Quinn sat on the last step and watched as her mami put on her shoes. Maybe if she cried, she'd be able to stay home!
"M-mami," Quinn sniffled and slid her thumb into her mouth.
Santana hugged her "Baby girl you have to go" she cooed "If not we'll get in trouble"
"School stupid!" Quinn cried kicking her shoes off "no going!"
"Quinn," Santana sighed and took the blonde's face in her hands. She saw how the girl relaxed but continued crying. "Quinn listen to mami," Quinn shook her head and turn around to crawl upstairs, but was stopped by a pair of arms pulling her arm. Quinn started sobbing.
"Noooooo I wanna be wif Mommies!" She cried. "I baby too little for school"
"Quinn baby please don't cry" Santana cooed. Brittany held Quinn close to her as she cried. They couldn't give in, even if she was crying.
"Mommies have to go to school as well, we can't leave you home alone baby," Brittany said softly.
"Maybe you can talk to Ms. Pillsbury and she can go to one of the Special Ed programs" Rachel suggested. Santana glared.
"She's not handicapped Rachel!" She snapped.
"How would you feel about that Qbear?" Brittany asked Quinn quietly.
"Stay wif mommies," Quinn choked out between her sobs. She buried her face in Brittany's chest and allowed to herself to be comforted even if she was mad at them. Brittany picked the blonde up and walked to rest of the way downstairs.
"Can you get our bags?" Brittany said quietly to Santana, who nodded. Brittany walked out of the house holding Quinn tightly in her arms.
Quinn calmed down a little in the car, she had her pacifier in her mouth and it was helping a lot. She hid her face in her hands hoping to just vanish. Brittany sighed.
"We're gonna get something figured out okay baby?"
Quinn nodded and hid her face in Brittany's arm as her mami and Rachel came to the car. Santana opened the car door beside Quinn and crouched down.
"Mami's gonna put your shoes on," Santana said softly then smiled when Quinn didn't move away.
Quinn was quite on the drive to school but as they pulled into the parking lot she started to cry again.
"Baby dont cry please" Brittany pleaded. Quinn held onto her seatbelt so she wouldn't be pulled from the car. She looked at the doors to the school and frowned.
"N-no go," Quinn choked out. Brittany and Santana shared a look then Rachel turned in her chair.
"How about we make a deal, huh Quinnie?" Rachel asked.
Brittany was trying to calm her down as well as making sure no one was watching them. Quinn wiped at her eyes and looked at Rachel. "Wha Rae?"
"After school, you and I, and your mommies if they want to, can go out and get some ice cream," Rachel smiled softly and watched as Quinn thought.
"And mommies?" Quinn said hopefully. She looked at Santana and Brittany. Her mommies made her feel safe.
"Yeah baby but you have to stop crying and go to big kid school okay?" Santana said kissin her head.
Quinn wiped her eyes and gave a sniffly nod "Otay Mami I can do its"
Santana took the tissue Rachel was offering and cleaned Quinn's face up before kissing her forehead.
"I love you Quinnie," Santana whispered. Quinn smiled softly and leaned into Santana.
"Love mami," the blonde sighed happily. Brittany helped Quinn out of the car and held onto the girl as they entered the school.
"Wh..what if I go little and get scared?" Quinn asked other three girls looked stumped then Santana spoke.
"Go see Mr. Schue if that happens okay?"
Quinn nodded and took a deep breath as they walked into the school. It felt like little Quinn's first time out in New York; too many people, crowded, daunting.
"Call me if you need me Qbear," Rachel whispered. She sent a smile to Brittany and Santana before walking away. Quinn nodded and somberly made her way into her first period AP literature class and took her seat. Time for Big Quinn. Quinn looked around and willed herself to act as normal as she can, but her mind wouldn't let her. Little Quinn wanted her mommies. Tears began to drip from her eyes and she hurriedly tried to wipe them away.
"Are you alright Quinn?" the teacher asked. Quinn sniffled a few time and looked up at her teacher.
"I want my mommy" she whimpered. As Quinn heard quiet laughter from a few people, the tears came down faster. She grabbed her bag and ran out of class, not bothering to give an explanation to her teacher. Luckily Kurt shared this class with her he shot the class a nasty glare and took off after Quinn.
"Q? Sweetheart?" he called out looking around for her. Quinn turned around as she heard Kurt then ran into him. She sobbed into his chest as he held her.
"Oh Quinnie," Kurt cooed. He needed to calm her down.
"Mommies!" Quinn choked out she tried to be a big girl really she did!
"We'll get them honey" Kurt cooed leading her to the choir room. Quinn clung to Kurt's shirt, seeking comfort, but only her mommies made her feel better.
"Could you stay for a few moments?" Kurt asked softly. He sat Quinn down and wiped her tears. "I'm gonna go get your mommies,"
Quinn shook her head "No leave no leave!" Kurt hushed her calmly and quietly while sending a quick message to Brittany and Santana.
Baby Q's with me in the choir room, wants you
He quickly put his phone away and pulled Quinn into another hug.
"It's okay," Kurt cooed. "Your mommies will be here soon," Quinn cried into Kurt's shirt once again and she held on for dear life. Where were her mommies?
Brittany checked her text message and told the teacher she was going to the restroom before hurrying to the choir room "Quinnie Mommy's here it's okay" she cooed sitting next to Kurt. Quinn quickly crawled into her mommy's arms and hugged her tightly. Her tears immediately subsided when Brittany cuddled her.
"Mommy wanna be with mommy," Quinn mumbled repeatedly. Big Quinn wasn't coming out any time soon.
"Shh shh Mommy's here I've got you" she cooed. She had no idea what to do, they had to go to school but, what were they gonna do with Quinn? She wasn't so sure they were doing the right thing anymore. Santana arrived a few moments later.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I don't know I think she was just scared" Kurt said. Santana wrapped her arm around Brittany and pulled the two blondes into her. She sighed and kissed Quinn's hair.
"What are we gonna do?" Santana whispered, mostly to herself but Brittany shrugged.
"I think we should go see Ms.P today" Brittany said quietly "She'll help us figure something out"
"No no wanna!" Quinn wailed "Wanna be wif mommies!"
"You'll be with us baby girl," Santana reassured her then nodded to Brittany. "I know mommy made you a baba this morning, so after that we'll go, okay?" Quinn frowned but nodded reluctantly.
"Baba," she whispered quietly holding her hands out to Santana.
Santana gathered her little girl up in her arms and fished around her bag for Quinn's bottle to her lips "Relax baby we'll figure it out" she cooed. Quinn placed her hands on top of Santana's and leant back in her arms. She closed her eyes and sigh in content when she felt herself being rocked.
"Coach could get us out of class," Brittany said softly. "That way we can sort something out,"
Brittany kissed Quinn's forehead "Mommy will always always look out for you baby girl" Quinn smiled around the bottle causing milk to dribble down her cheeks. The three chuckled at Quinn and Brittany carefully cleaned up the milk before it spilt onto her shirt.
"Tissues for the mommies," Kurt smiled, holding out said item. Brittany smiled gratefully and wiped her hands on them.
"We're gonna have to get you a bib," Santana said softly.
Quinn smiled again releasing the bottle "No more Baba jus snuggle mami" she said nuzzling her chest "Loves Mami Love Mommy" she purred "No schoows"Santana nodded and placed the bottle beside her, she smiled and rocked Quinn.
"Love Quinnie," Santana said softly, kissing her head. Brittany nodded and wrapped an arm around Santana's back.
"Lots," Brittany added.
Quinn giggled "Mommies pewfects" she sighed snuggling up.
"Quinnie's perfect" Brittany smiled and buried her face in Santana's neck, very much enjoying the comfort. So much so she was on the verge of sleep. Brittany continued stroking the blonde's hair while it seemed Santana and Kurt where thinking.
"You guys really should talk to Ms. Pillsbury she'll help out a lot" He said.
"Yeah maybe she can work out something special for Quinn" Brittany nodded.
"Do you think she'll talk to us in here, that office freaks me out," Santana shuddered and looked down at her Quinn.
"I can go ask," Kurt offered with a smile.
Brittany gave a nod of thanks to Kurt and he disappeared down the hallway returning moments later with a very concerned looking Emma "What's going on guys!?" Quinn's head shot around as she heard the voice and her eyes went wide.
"Mami?" Quinn whimpered looking at Santana.
"Shh" Santana cooed "Ms. P is gonna help us" she assured.
"Is everyone okay?" Emma asked.
"Not really," Brittany admitted. Quinn kept her eyes trained on the teacher as she took a seat in front of then. "It's Quinn," Brittany continued.
"What's going on is she alright?" Emma asked "should I call her parents?"
"No!" The three other students said in unison.
"Then tell me what's happening!" Emma was frustrated. Santana rolled her eyes and held Quinn close to her chest. The three students attempted to find a way to tell Emma since she wasn't the most open minded of people.
Quinn frowned and looked up at Santana "Mean!" she pouted.
"Quinn, she needs help" Brittany said.
"Why is she on Santana's lap?" Emma questioned.
"Sorry baby," Santana whispered and kissed her nose. Quinn continue to pout.
"She's um," Brittany looked at Quinn. "she's been acting as a small child," Emma raised an eyebrow.
"What? Why?" Emma demanded "I think this is reason to call her parents!"
"No do not call them they hurt her" Brittany snapped "Some help you are!" Quinn hid her face in Santana's shoulder and whimpered. She'd never seen Brittany mad and little Quinn was scared. Santana tightened her grip and cooed to Quinn. Kurt placed his hand in front of Brittany to hold her back from attacking Emma.
"Quinn's parents have been," Kurt stopped himself and took a breath. He couldn't believe he was saying this. "Quinn's parents have been abusing her,"
Brittany looked back and felt awful she rushed to Quinn's side "Oh baby girl Mommy's sorry she didn't meant to scare you" she cooed. Emma's face fell.
"O..oh my I'm sorry" she said "How can I help?" Brittany rubbed Quinn's back and nodded to encourage Kurt to continue talking.
"Quinn needs to stay in education but, she doesn't want to be without her mommies," Quinn added to this by nodding.
"Mommies stay!"
Emma looked confused Quinn spoke so childishly "What? Why?" she questioned. Quinn rubbed at her eyes and sniffled
"Gets scared" Quinn looked back at her mami who smiled reassuringly.
"Okay," Emma nodded. "Why do you get scared?" Quinn whimpered and leant back into Santana for comfort.
"Mommies 'tects me" she mumbled.
"You'll be safe here in the school Quinn" Emma encouraged.
"Stay wid mommies!" Quinn demanded; she didn't like this person. Quinn glared at Emma.
"Qbear, mommies have to go to class too," Brittany said softly, kneeling in front of her. "That's why she's here to help,"
"I no likes school" Quinn pouted.
"Have you thought about online school?" Emma suggested.
"We can do that?" Brittany turned to face Emma who nodded. It would give them time to sort out Quinn's situation as well as them keeping up with their studies.
"Yes of course I'll help you guys get a set up" Emma nodded.
"Stay wif mommies?" Quinn asked. Emma nodded and stood up, brushing her skirt down.
"I'll be right back," She added with a smile before walking out. Quinn smiled wide and launched herself into Brittany's arms. She wasn't going to be alone now!
Brittany hugged Quinn close "everything's gonna be okay baby girl Mami and I willl never ever leave you" she whispered. Quinn held tight to her mommy.
"Loves you muchies"
"Love you too baby," Brittany smiled and kissed Quinn's head repeatedly. Quinn smiled and slipped her thumb in her mouth.
"Home?" She asked around her thumb.
Brittany ran her fingers through Quinn's hair. "Not quite yet sweetie" she cooed.
Quinn whined "Wanna go home!"
"I know I know," Brittany rocked Quinn slightly. "Once everything's sorted we can go home," Quinn removed her thumb and pouted at Brittany. Brittany continued to rock her and found a pacifier to slip into her mouth. Quinn closed her eyes after she found that the rocking motion along with th sucking on the pacifier made her sleep. She cuddled into Brittany's chest and sighed happily. That's where she wanted to be. Brittany kissed the top of Quinn's head and whispered loving to her until Emma returned with a bunch of paperwork for them to fill out then be signed by their parents.
Santana nodded and gathered their belongings while Brittany stood Quinn up. The blonde took the pacifier from Quinn and pocketed it before they made their way out of the school.
Quinn whined "Nooo Mine!" she made grabbing motions for her pacifier "Gimmie!" this was sooo uncool that was hers!
"Quinn stop that your can have it in the car" Brittany told her softly.
"Mommy now!" She whined tugging at her mommy's arm.
"Quinn, stop," Santana told her firmly then took her hand. "You can have it once we get in the car, okay?"
Quinn whined and pulled away to sit on the floor "Mami want paci now!" she whined kicking her feet "Gimmie! It mines!" Santana took a deep breath before she dealt with Quinn. Brittany had made her way to the car with their belongings.
"That's not the way to ask for your pacifier," Santana held her hand out to Quinn. "Baby, the car's over there and then you can have it,"
Quinn just pouted at her before she burst into tears she wanted her paci and she wanted it now! "No!" she yelled crossing her arms.
"Quinn you stop that right now or you're going to be put in the corner" Santana said. Quinn began crying harder at the mention of the corner. Her mami was gonna hit her! Quinn curled into a ball and covered her head.
"No hit! No hit mami please!" Quinn cried against her arms.
Santana dropped to the ground and gathered Quinn into her arms "No baby girl Mami will never ever hit you" using all her might she scooped Quinn up bridal style and took her to the car. Quinn hiccupped as she tried to stop crying but to no avail.
"What's up with Qbear?" Quinn heard Brittany say. Now her mommy would hit her too. Quinn hid herself in Santana's chest silently praying.
"We'll talk later lets just get her home" Santana said getting Quinn the car taking a seat next to and giving the girl her pacifier "No ones going to hurt you baby girl it's okay"
Brittany nodded and got into the drivers seat. She took once last glance back at Santana and Quinn before driving home.
"I good," Quinn whispered then placed her pacifier in her mouth. She closed her eyes and leant against Santana.
"Yes baby a very very good girl" Santana cooed running her fingers through her hair "My perfect baby girl" she murmured.
