"My name is Terra Lopez, and I'm in love with Bella Pierce."
I stare down at this precious girl in front of me. A mini carbon copy of Santana was standing in front of me, glaring at me. When I asked what her name was I wasn't expecting a declaration of love.
"That's nice, I'm Rachel Berry." I say with my usual smile.
"I know who you are. Bella has a picture of the both of you in her room. I'm not really digging that." She menacingly cracked her knuckles.
"Teressa Lopez! Stop trying to scare my friend!" I hear Santana shout as she comes down the rest of the stairs.
"She was all up on my woman, no me gusta." I sigh; it seems as if Terra took the personality of her older sister.
"You're woman?" Terra just nods as she stares at the ground.
"Yep, mine." She repeats.
"You're only 12 years old; you're not even aloud to date!" Santana argues.
"Doesn't matter." Terra replies. Santana's face softens and forms a grin.
"Well I'm proud of you sis." Santana says as she pats her sister on the back. "Who's up for some breakfast?"
"I've already cooked Mija!" I hear from the kitchen. I follow Santana and Terra to the kitchen.
"I made waffles! And I cut some fruit for you Rachel." Her mom tells me as Santana pushes me into a seat.
"Thank you Mrs. Lo-
"You can call me Carmen. So what's this business about Bella Pierce?" Carmen asks as she sits down at the table.
I watch Santana stiffen and look at her sister, "I was just um… talking to Rachel about the picture I saw in her room. That's all"
"Oh, I didn't know you were friends with Brittany, Rachel. She's such a sweet girl, so is her sister." I look over at Santana who was all but chugging her cranberry juice, "I always thought that Santana and Brittany were going to get together, but I guess- Mija! Are you alright?"
Santana had spit out her drink across the table, hitting a very pissed Terra in the face.
"You thought what!" Santana cried.
"Well you were always so close, closer than best friends. I mean I'm pretty sure you and Quinn didn't take showers together… or sleep naked with each other." Carmen finishes with the famous Santana Lopez smirk.
I begin to giggle uncontrollably as Santana continues to splutter, and Terra keeps on rambling in Spanish.
"What is going on in here?" A new voice asks, I turn around to see a man in scrubs walking into the room with a little by in tow.
"Nothing. Apparently Santana didn't know that we knew about her and Brittany. And Terra is just upset because she is now covered with cranberry juice." Carmen gestures towards me, "Daniel this is Rachel Berry, Rachel this is my husband Daniel."
"It's very nice to meet you sir." I say with a small grin. The little boy runs towards me stops when he's right in front of me.
"I'm Alex and I'm five! Can I sit on your lap?" He asked with a large smile.
"Of course you can." I reply and I sit him on my lap.
"Alex is a big baby. He still likes to be held." Terra snickers.
"And you still sleep with your blankie, leave me alone." He retorted. Terra began to blush and started to eat her food again.
"So you knew this entire time? And you didn't say anything?" Santana questions her parents, as she passes me a plate for Alex.
"Of course we did! The both of you are horrible with secrets. We were just waiting for the both of you to tell us yourself. We read some parenting boos that told us that it would be best for us to wait for you to tell us" Daniel informs her daughter.
"You're okay with me being gay?" Santana whispers.
"We've had years to get over it Mija! We've watched grow up with Brittany. We're just glad that you won't end up with the Puck boy." Daniel grunts.
"Thanks mom, dad. It means a lot to me for you to say that." Santana thanks her parents. "But I don't think me Britts are going to be together. She's with the transformer."
"Britts boyfriend is a transformer?" Alex asks excitingly.
"No, he's just in a wheelchair." I tell him as I glare at Santana who was just smirking.
"People in wheelchairs are transformers?" He tries to clarify. I look at Santana and she only shrugs.
"He used to spend a lot of time with B. I think she's rubbed off on him." Santana admits.
"Don't worry about the wheelchair boy; she'll pick the right person in the end." Carmen informs Santana as she begins to cut into her waffles.
"So Rachel, what are you plans for collage?" Daniel inquires after taking a sip of coffee. I hear Santana mutter something, and I smile.
"I plan on going to Julliard, on a scholarship, and then I will be welcomed to the Broadway stage. By the time I'm 24 I will have received a Tony." I take a breath and see the whole table staring at me, including Alex who still had food in his mouth.
"If only Santana had plans like that. The only plan she has is get out of Lima and move to New York." Carmen says.
"I'm sure Santana has something up her sleeve." I look over at Santana with an arched eyebrow.
"I was thinking maybe being a lawyer or something." Santana mumbles before looking at the clock.
"Oh look at that, Rachel and I have to go to the mall." She tells her family as she gets up from the table.
"But I haven't finished eating." I whine as I look down at my plate.
"We can take it with us." She persists as she takes Alex off my lap and kisses him. After putting him down she takes my plate and puts it in a container.
"Thank you for having me, you'll likely see me-
Santana cuts me off, "\We'll see you guys later" She says as she pushes me out the door.
"That was very rude." I scold her as we get into her car.
"It was starting to get weird. Anyway we have to get you something sizzling to wear for the party tonight." She replies as she merges into the streets.
"Fine." I grumble.
"You'll love it. Just think about all the attention you'll get." She gushes. I do love attention I think to myself.
"Since when have you known about the inner workings of my mind Ms. Lopez." I ask in a mock serious tone.
"You'd be surprised." She tells me with a smirk.
Santana Lopez has been, and will likely always be a constant box of surprises.
Hey guys. I must say, I was disappointed with the lack of response on the last chapter. I was serious about the suggestions. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter, and quick update (for my standards). By the way how awesome is New York right now? =)
