Echo had gone to her room to play when Santana fell asleep. Quinn ran her fingers through the girls hair, watching her struggle to take a full breath without wheezing. Santana woke up in a fit of coughing, Quinn handed her a glass of water while she rubbed circles on the girls back.
"I feel like shit." Santana mumbled, leaning back against the couch.
"Do you want to take a bath? I have some like menthol stuff that helps congestion." Quinn suggested, she nodded and they stood up. Quinn took her into the bathroom and started to run the tub. Santana undressed and Quinn helped her get in and lay down. Quinn left her in the water for a while as she prepared some tea and soup for lunch. She left it to simmer as picked up the phone and idled.
"Hey mom." Quinn said into the receiver.
"Quinn! How are you! How is my beautiful grandbaby?" Judy asked.
"She's good. She misses you like crazy."
"Well she better!" Judy laughed, "I'm so disappointed you girls couldn't come home for christmas. It wasn't the same without you."
"Same. We were thinking since I'm off work until she heads back to school that we'd come home for New Years? Is that okay?"
"OF COURSE!" She shrieked "When are you coming?"
"Let me check prices on tickets and by the end of the week for sure."
"Okay sweetheart! I need to start cleaning!" With that Judy hung up the phone. Quinn just shook her head and put down the phone. She stirred the soup before going to check on her daughter. Echo was coloring on her desk when Quinn entered the room.
"Babe, start pulling some clothing together. We're gonna head to grandmas in a few days." Quinn smiled and Echo jumped up and hugged her mom.
"Sweet!" Echo exclaimed as she went to her dresser. Quinn helped for a few minutes but went into her room when she heard Santana leave the bathroom. She went in and closed her bedroom door behind them. Santana was shivering in the her towel.
"You look so helpless right now." Quinn commented as she grabbed sweats from her drawer. "Like seriously."
"Shut up." Santana mumbled as she lazily rubbed the water off her hair.
"Sit down." Quinn ordered after she slipped the pants over tanned legs. She ran the towel over black hair then slipped a tank top over her lithe body followed by a long sleeve shirt. She ran the comb through damp hair. "So, Echo asked me this morning if I could take her back to Lima for her break."
"Are you going?" Santana asked, leaning back against her girlfriend.
"Yeah. She misses her grandma and her father… as much as I hate him." Quinn sighed, she pressed her lips against the juncture of the Latina's neck. "I was wondering… If maybe since your not working… maybe you'd like to come with us?"
"Quinn…" Santana started.
"I know we've only been together like two months… but it's your hometown too. I'm sure your family would like to see you."
"I know. My dad calls like every other week and asks me to come home to visit." Santana sighs, "But is it a good idea? Are you even out to your mom?"
"Doesn't matter." Quinn said.
"What doesn't matter? I'm sure she's not going to take a liking to me once she finds out i'm sleeping with you."
"I don't care what she thinks." Quinn said, "I want you to be there so you can distract me from Puck…also so I can rub it in his face that i scored you." Santana smirked at the statement.
"Scored me?" Santana said, "Fineeeeeee." She whined, "Can I sleep now?" Quinn kissed her cheek lightly before tucking her into bed.
