Chapter 15
It had been a week since Santana's accident and she still hadn't woken up. Rachel was always there except for when her parents said she had to go home to shower and eat. Mario was usually always with her or Maria would take him. The Glee members had been over to the hospital multiple times to show Rachel some support. Right now Quinn, Rachel, Mario, Puck, Beth and Brittany were sitting in Santana's room watching TV.
"Rachel, why is Mario wearing two different socks?" Quinn asked.
"I forgot to pack another pair in the diaper bag before I left, and he decided he was going to pull off his socks and throw them in my soup. Those were the only clean ones left." Rachel explained while looking at a smiling Mario in Puck's arms.
"So how are you holding up?"
"I'm okay. I mean it's hard, because I miss her. I miss her voice and I know Mario misses her. He's been really fussy lately and he's really hard to put to sleep. I just wish she was here. Instead I have to see her fighting in a hospital bed." Rachel teared up.
"The doctor said she was going to be fine. The only reason she's still unconscious is because her body wants to make sure she's ready." Brittany smiled. She was really helpful when it came to lifting people's spirits.
"I know, but what happens when she wakes up and she gets frustrated that she can't be how she was. She's going to be bed ridden for a few days because of how sore her muscles are. The doctor said she won't be able to pick Mario up until she is better. You know how Santana is. She's not going to be happy about this." Rachel said making them all nod.
Quinn looked at a still sleeping Santana and smiled. "She may be angry at first, but she'll realize that she is lucky to be alive."
"I think so too. Santana's strong, and as long as you keep her fed and wear a skimpy outfit she should be okay." Puck smirked. Mario stuck his fingers in his mouth and his smirk dropped.
"I think that was his way of punching you in the face for talking about his mother that way, Puckerman." Quinn glared.
"Kind of had that coming. But seriously, Santana will be okay. I'm just here to see her wake up." Puck shrugged. Beth decided to stand up and help Mario beat her dad up so he was busy fighting the two small children off of him.
"I just want to watch My Little Pony with her again. I miss how she would always cry when they found a way to save their land at the end." Brittany cooed.
"Or how she watched Spongebob at 8 in the morning so the first thing you wake up to is the theme song or the annoying sound of his laugh." Rachel giggled at the memory.
"Or how she used to insult me every day. I really miss her." Quinn tried really hard to hold back her tears.
"Why are you guys talking so loud?" They heard a voice groan behind them. All four heads whipped around and Mario took the grand opportunity to poke Puck in the eye.
"San?" Rachel teared up and made her way over to her girlfriend's bed.
"Rach, what the hell happened?" Santana asked looking around the hospital room.
"You don't remember?" Rachel asked.
"No, all I remember is driving and then I heard some loud noise and then here I am. What happened?"
"You were in a car accident. There was a drunk driver in a semi truck, and he crashed into another car which hit you and then you spun out and hit the wall on the highway. Only to be hit again from behind." Rachel explained.
"Are you serious? All this is because of some asshole that cracked a four loco? This is bullshit." Santana spat.
"Hey, watch your mouth San. Beth and Mario are right over there." Quinn scolded.
"I'm sorry, but how would you feel if you woke up in a hospital with a splitting headache and all your muscles sore because of some guy that decided he was going to get piss drunk and drive a fucking semi truck! Realmente odio a veces maldita gente!"
"San, you have to calm down." Brittany said quietly. Hearing Brittany's voice made her face soften and the monitor that was tracking her heart slowed down.
"Sorry Britt." Santana muttered.
"Do you want me to get your dad?" Rachel asked. Santana nodded and Rachel made her way to Carlos' office.
"Rachel? Do you need something?" Carlos asked.
"Yes, Santana is awake." Rachel smiled widely. Carlos' eyes bugged out and he hurried to his daughter's room.
"MIJA!" Carlos cheered upon seeing Santana in the bed with Mario sitting on her lap. Carlos walked over and kissed Santana's forehead repeatedly.
"Pensé que te había perdido, cariño." Carlos whispered.
"Nunca papá. Soy demasiado fuerte para morir de esa manera." Santana smiled.
"Yes, yes you are, Mija. I'm so glad you're awake. I have to call your mom and Rickey and Julia. They're gonna be so relieved." Carlos cheered.
"Julia? Why would you call her? She doesn't care about me." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Yes she does, she loves you Santana." Carlos told her.
"Whatever, can I just see my son?" Santana asked and Rachel hurried to grab him. Once Mario saw his mami, his face lit up and he smiled.
"Hola mijo!" Santana cheered wanting nothing more to grab him and kiss him. She really wished she wasn't connected to all the wires and monitors by her bed.
"He missed you. At night when I would try to put him to sleep he would look around for you." Rachel explained and it brought tears to Santana's eyes.
"I'm sorry mijo." Santana cried as Mario was placed on her lap.
"Santana, don't cry. estás de suerte. Podrías haber muerto niña." Carlos whispered with tears in his eyes as well.
"I know papa, but the thing is I let Mario down. I wasn't there for him, instead I was in this stupid hospital bed!"
"Sweetheart, I know you're upset and frustrated, but you need to look at the bright side. You get to live the rest of your life and be there for him now. He won't remember the few days you weren't be his side when he's older. He is only three months old. He barely realizes that he has hands. You're a great mother. Don't forget that." Carlos reminded her.
"Yeah dude, you need to suck it up and move on." Puck said reminding Santana that he was in the room.
"Yeah, Sanny. Now you can totally what Spongebob with him and My Little Pony with me. I recorded the new episode for you." Brittany beamed.
"Thank you, Britt. And thank you too Puck. It means a lot." Santana nodded kissing Mario's forehead.
"Okay, now let me go get your doctor and we can go home." Rachel giggled. She was so happy that her girlfriend was awake and ready to leave.
~XOXXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXO~
Two days later. Santana was resting in bed with the TV on Spongebob and Mario in his playpen by the bed while Santana was doing some work online. It was a little challenging due to her broken finger, but she managed to work through it. Just as she was about to start her next assignment the door to her bed room opened and in walked Rickey.
"Hey little sister!" He smiled widely.
"Hey Rickey, what's up?" Santana asked not taking her eyes off her laptop.
"Nothing, just came to check on you. Mom won't stop talking about how she almost lost a child and she wants to make sure you're nursed back to full health."
"She worries too much. I'm fine." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, but better safe than sorry."
"I guess."
"Hey, do you mind if I take Mario to the store with me later. He really helps me with the ladies." Rickey winked.
"You want to use my son to help you get girls?" Santana asked.
"Yeah, chicks love babies."
"No. Rachel would kill me. Plus, Aunt Silvia, Uncle Juan and their kids are coming over. They still haven't met him."
"Oh! That reminds me! I forgot to tell you! Julia will be here tomorrow. I heard she has a new boyfriend."
"That sucks. She's such a bitch." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, maybe, but I still have to warn that bastard about hurting my little sister. He won't know what hit him." Rickey smiled proudly.
"You're such a loser. Now can you leave me alone? I have lots of work to do and Spongebob is on. My son and I are trying to watch." Santana laughed.
"San, he's chewing on a block. I don't think he's worried about Spongebob."
"No, he's totally in love with this show."
"Sure he is." Rickey rolled his eyes.
"It's true." Santana argued.
"Okay, if you tell me a story I'll leave you alone."
"Fine, what story do you want to hear?"
"I want to hear how Rachel told you she was pregnant." Rickey said with a small smile. Santana smiled at the memory that was now playing in her head.
FLASHBACK
Santana was sitting in her bedroom waiting for her girlfriend, Rachel, to show up. Today was there official four month anniversary and she truly couldn't be happier with their relationship.
"Santana! Rachel's here." She heard her mom call from downstairs.
"Okay, send her up." They decided that they weren't going to do anything huge for their anniversary, so they picked a few movies to watch. Thank goodness it was Friday, that way they could stay up all night with each other.
Seconds later Rachel walked in with a sad face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Santana asked, hurrying to her side.
"I have something to tell you." Rachel cried. Santana quickly brought them over to the couch in her room and sat Rachel down. She was really hoping that Rachel wasn't going to break up with her.
"Okay. Tell me."
"I don't know how to say it." Rachel cried harder. Santana pulled her into another hug and rubbed her back.
"Just tell me when you're ready." Santana whispered. After a few minutes of Rachel crying and Santana doing her best to comfort her, Rachel removed her face from the crook of Santana's neck.
"Okay, I'll tell you now. But I really hope that you don't leave me." Rachel started.
"I'd never leave you. I love you." Santana told her honestly.
"Santana…I'm…I'm pregnant." Rachel whispered before crying again. Santana was frozen.
Pregnant? As in with child? Santana Lopez was gonna be a parent? At 17? In high school?
"A-are you sure?" Santana stuttered. Rachel nodded.
"I took five tests, and I went to my family doctor and she confirmed it." Rachel told her.
"Why didn't you tell my Rach? I would have gone with you."
"I was scared. I still am. You haven't told me what you're thinking."
Santana paused and tried to take hold of her emotions. "I don't know what I feel. I'm scared and a little disappointed in myself for being so careless. I mean, we used protection every time!"
"I know, but contraceptives aren't one hundred percent reliable."
"I know that, but I never thought this could happen to us. We were so careful!"
"Santana, let's face it. We were doing it every single day for a month. All it takes is one time that we aren't paying attention."
This was true. Since their first time, sex was an everyday thing. Well almost every day. Their teenage hormones had them all out of whack and nothing could satisfy them.
"Yeah. You're right….So what did you plan on doing with the baby? I mean I know we aren't ready for a kid, but I don't want to give my baby up or abort it, but it's your decision in the end."
"I don't know, Santana. I'm completely against abortion so I'm going to give birth to it, but I don't know if I want to keep it. I have to just think about it and we can talk more about it."
"That's fine. I just want us to make the right decision." Santana could feel the tears threatening to drop."Just know that I love you and that I will be here every step of the way. Even if that means getting a job and taking care of both of you."
This made Rachel cry harder and grabbed Santana into a huge hug. "I love you."
"I love you too. Now can we watch a movie? It's our anniversary and we're having a baby. I think that calls for a little celebration."
"But, when are we going to tell our parents?" Rachel asked.
"When we feel that they are ready to know."
"Okay. I just don't want them to flip out. My dads are going to be so disappointed in me."
"My parents will be too, but my parents had Rickey when my dad was 17 and my mom was 16." Santana explained.
"So do you think they'll be angry?"
"No, just disappointed. I think our parents are very understanding."
"I think so too. Now let's watch a movie. I got the Dictator! It's supposed to be hilarious."
"Okay, let's watch."
END OF FLASHBACK
"Wow, so you weren't freaked out?" Rickey asked
"No not really. I was just worried about my kid in that situation. I know becoming a mother at 17 is scary, but I still made him and I loved him even though he was about the size of a piece of lint."
"Wow, you're a lot braver that I am, I would have jumped out the window. I cannot be a father right now."
"You'd be surprised how you feel in that moment. It's like giving up the one thing in the whole world that mattered. When he was born it was like I grew a second heart and gave him all the love in that heart. Cars or girls or sex or other stupid things didn't matter. I didn't care if I didn't get into Columbia or if Glee club lost nationals or if my car was totaled. Only he mattered."
"That was deep baby sister." Rickey smiled. Mario began fussing and Rickey picked him up.
"He might be wet. Can you check for me?" Santana asked.
"You want me to change his diaper?" Rickey looked disgusted.
"Oh come on. He's three months old, and it's just pee. Stop being a baby. I already have one I don't need two."
Rachel walked into the room to see her girlfriend's brother holding her son at arm's length like a garbage bag.
"What's going on here?" Rachel asked.
"Your son peed." Rickey grimaced.
Rachel laughed. "Wow, give him here. I'll change him."
"And I'll leave. I guess I'll see you tonight when Aunt Silvia comes. Bye Rach." Rickey gave his million dollar Lopez smile and walked out the room.
"Hi Baby." Santana smiled her own Lopez smile.
"You Lopez's and your smiles. They're like perfect. Are you sure you've never had braces?"
"Rach. We've gone to the same school since we were in 6th grade. You would know." Santana laughed.
"Yeah, I know, but I have no idea how your teeth are so perfect. It's really sexy." Rachel giggled. Santana made a face at first and then puckered her lips for a kiss which Rachel happily gave her. Her life was truly perfect again.
