April 12th 2010:
She wondered why it already had to be Monday as she sat on the steps of McKinley High on that first day back from spring break.
The past few days had been insane to say the least what with Danielle being born in the earliest of hours of Saturday morning and her and her dysfunctional family spent the better part of the weekend hanging out in Quinn's hospital room. With all this excitement going on Kristina only expected a moment like the present one to occur.
"Why are you here?" Santana snapped as she placed her hands on her hips, Brittany standing beside her and doing the same.
"Why is anybody here?" the blonde asked the sassy Latina in her airy voice.
Santana rolled her eyes and looked back to Kristina waiting an answer and she didn't like being kept waiting.
"What do you mean why am I here Santana, it's Monday, spring break is over…"
"And my former best friend just gave birth to your baby niece who is adorable by the way."
"Thanks?" Kristina questioned still not getting why Santana was asking about her whereabouts on that day, "anyway why do you care if I'm here or there…we aren't really friends outside of Glee?"
Before Santana was about to respond a fourth voice spoke up.
"Because she knew I didn't want to ruin my perfect attendance record so she decided to come to school and keep me company."
Artie wheeled over to where his girlfriend was sitting on the bottom step and smiled before handing her a single flower.
The two cheerios held hands as they watched the sweetness between the nerd in the wheelchair and the young brunette with an envious gaze. Sure they had their own little relationship in one another but they still kind of longed to find a guy that treated them like Artie treated Kristina…last of the true romantics that guy was. Leaving the lovebirds alone they took their leave.
"What did they want?" Artie asked.
"They wanted to know why I was at school today."
He nodded as he wheeled up the ramp into the school while Kristina walked besides him on the steps.
"Well…why are you here and not at the hospital, or with Kurt and Tina at the garage?"
She let out a laugh thinking about how the week before when Kurt and the girls were painting his new room at the Davis house he'd enlisted the young Asian with her 'stellar eye for color' to help him create a variable baby wonderland out of the Hummel's guest room.
Tina instantly agreed especially when she had heard and extra day off school would be involved.
"I figured Quinn, Noah, and Sam needed quality family time with Dani and art's not my thing."
He gave her one of his adorkable half smiles that she couldn't resist.
"And speaking of Noah someone has to take chem notes for him…finals are just around the corner."
"It's the first day back after break, I doubt the lecture won't be earth shattering."
Kristina nodded.
"Well that and I didn't want to abandon my boyfriend while he was trying to maintain his perfect attendance record."
Shaking his head he thought that was cute.. really cute.
"You do know that a half day won't penalize said record…and there is no Glee rehearsal today…I mean even if there was like four well five depending on Rachel, of it's members will be MIA as is…"
"The point."
"Point is why not you, me, and Mercedes go all Ferris Bueller on this joint and bounce at Lunch…does that sound like a plan Kris."
The wheels began to spin in her mind as she nodded thinking that the three of them could pick up some killer take out, take some over to the garage, hang out with Kurt and Tina for a bit then the whole gang could trek over to the hospital later that evening. She liked this plan she liked it allot.
The sounds of the warning bell rang as she flashed a thumb up to her boyfriend before they headed to their respective homerooms.

He entered the hospital room with a huge green tote bag in his hands and a smile on his face.
The women in the bed blinked a few times trying to grasp what she was seeing however it was the brunette sitting in the bedside chair who said it.
"You shaved the Mohawk?"
Though it was obvious Sam's words came off like a question causing him to sweetly smile.
"Well now that I'm a dad and all it was time I started to look like a dad. Anyway where is my little girl."
"She's asleep in the nursery," Quinn said, "Anyway what's in the bag? It better be some real food cause this hospital garbage is wrecking havoc on my stomach."
Smiling Puck opened up the bag and pulled out a smaller brown bag with a distinctive logo on it.
"It was too early to smuggle you in a burger so I thought one of your favorite Banana Nut Muffins would have to do."
Quinn smiled thanking him as she took the bag and ripped off a corner of the muffin and popped it in her mouth. It was heaven.
"So," Sam said, "what else do you have."
He smiled as he picked up a tiny pink outfit emblazoned with the logo of the Cleveland Indians on it.
"Hell if I'm going to let you and Krissy turn my girl into a Yankees fan."
The girls tried to repress laughs as he pulled out a small pink book and handed it to Sam.
"And this is for you, to hold all of our girls precious moments in."
Sam smiled and flipped to the first page of the baby book where a digital snap shot of the entire Davis-Hummel clan along with Quinn and Puck sat with day old Dani.
And speaking of Dani in that moment the nurse entered the room holding the little pink bundle.
"Look who wanted to see her family," the nurse spoke as she placed the baby in her father's hands.
In this moment everything was….

"Perfect, simply perfect," Kurt said as he took a step backwards to admire the handy work that he and Tina had created in the old guest room.
"I may have an eye for paint chips but you have killer instinct when it comes for interior design. Ever think of making that your major when the time comes."
He never really thought about what he would do for a future career to be honest though in his heart of hearts he wanted a career in show business he unlike Rachel had a rational side. Shrugging his shoulders he looked at the young girl.
"Never know, lately I'm leaning toward the whole Political Science/Pre Law kind of thing."
"Giving them the old Razzle Dazzle huh Billy Flynn."
"Mock me now Tina, but when I win the Emmy for best Judge show…"
"Your joking right…there's an Emmy for that."
Kurt nodded.
"Wow."
"Anyway enough about me, we never really get to talk any more just the two of us…what have you been up to Tina."
"I'm engaged in a long distance relationship with Ethan Lovett."
"Ethan Lovett? You mean that ruggedly handsome Australian friend of Krissy's?"
"One in the same."
"He's too old for you."
"Age is just a number MOM…anyways you and Finn…I still can't believe THAT actually happened."
"Most days I can't either."
The duo began to walk back and forth across the room.
Tina mumbled about how she hoped she'd be a good godmother to Dani while Kurt reassured her that she would. They were locked in an embrace after that conversation when a light knocking sound broke them apart.
"Did we walk in on something?" Mercedes asked.
Looking from his best friend to his 'sister' and her boyfriend he shook his head.
"I was just reassuring Tina that she was going to make a great god mother to DB."
Rolling over to her side Artie placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled sweetly to her.
"He's right Tee, the two of us are going to be the best damn godparents in the history of godparents."
Mouthing a thanks Kurt instantly changed the subject.
"Something smells good."
Kristina pointed to the large take out bag.
"I figured you two could use something for Lunch that was substantially better then the McKinley High cafeteria."
The gang moved from Dani's room to the kitchen and had been gathered round for lunch talking about anything and nothing just like they would of done had they been at the school cafeteria that very day.
"So I've been thinking," Kurt said as they were done with their meal.
The other four were all thinking of a snappy comeback to that declaration however their friend went on.
"Since Molly so graciously gave up her room for me and since it's just Sam and DB living here now we should turn my basement oasis into a library."
"Oh my god," Kristina said, "Molly would love it."
Some more idle chattering filled up the air.
"God it's hard to believe all that's happened in a year." Mercedes said.
"And the year is only four months in," Kurt said.
"No I mean the school year, I mean look back to the beginning of the year when we first joined Glee."
"Back when I was in Port Charles in my abusive relationship…"
"And I was still faking my stutter…."
The others also flashed back with thoughts about their lives all those months ago and began to reflect on all the changes both the good and the bad that had happened and only knew that things would be looking up. Seriously when was the last time any of them had a slushie facial…weeks ago…perhaps the tides were turning. Whatever the case life surely was good.
