Chapter 19
"Quinn's parents are douche bags." Mack slumps down into the kitchen chair across from Santana.
"Tell me something I don't know."
"Sandy's pregnant." Santana drops the glass of water she had in her hand.
"Fuck!" Santana looks at the mess she's made on the kitchen floor. "Who told you that?"Mack walks over to help her clean up.
"No one. I was just thinking about what Sandy said." Mack shrugs. "I mean, he did bring her home after only two months of dating, none of his friends like her, but yet he still keeps her around and she acts like that's how it's always going to be. It just makes sense."
"Well…I hope you're wrong."
They finish cleaning the spill up in silence. When they are done Mack takes her seat at the table again and Santana joins her.
"What time is Quinn coming to pick you up?" Santana plans on spending the day with her dad and telling him about Rachel later on.
"Um…about that." Mack frowns. "I'm hanging with Tina today. Quinn's kind of pissed at me right now."
"What? Why?"
"She told my dad to stop being so uptight." Quinn comes into the kitchen followed by Tina.
"How did you get in?"Mack looks around the kitchen confused.
"I have a key." Quinn walks by and slaps the back of Mack's head. "I can't believe you."
"Your dad's an ass." Mack defends herself. "He talks to you like you're shit under his shoe and he bitches about the stupidest stuff."
"I know that…but I asked you to ignore him."Santana watches Quinn and Mack go back and forth.
"Well…that was asking for a little too much. It's bad enough I have to make sure I don't flirt with you or give any indication that I like girls." Mack looks at both Quinn and Santana. "That's hard as it is…I can't bit my tongue too. I don't let people walk over me or people I care about." Mack stands. "You ready Tina?" Mack doesn't wait for a response before leaving the room.
"I think she's upset." Tina finally speaks.
"Oh thanks, T. We couldn't tell." Quinn rolls her eyes.
"Come give me a hug." Tina ignores Quinn's attitude and open her arms to Santana. "Call and let us know how it goes." Tina kisses her cheek and slaps Quinn's shoulder as she passes. "Come on, bitch."
"Wait…you rode with, T?" Santana watches Quinn stand.
"Yeah, I needed to get out of the house." Quinn kisses Santana's forehead and leaves to joining her friends.
"Oh boy." Santana mumbles while watching Quinn leave. She thinks they're going to have more to talk about at the end of the day than her.

"I…um…you," Santana watches the emotions play across her dads face. Carmelo looks between sad and confused. "I don't…"
Santana just told her dad that she's dating Rachel. She decided she didn't want to start off slow…like just telling him she's dating a girl. She figured telling him it was Rachel would take care of both of those points.
They are standing in the kitchen. Santana stands by the entrance while her dad leans against the sink.
"Um…how long?" Santana looks up from her phone. She needed something to distract her from what's going on right now. "You and Rachel…how long have you been…together?"
"Uh…officially…six months."
"Officially?" Carmelo frowns.
"Um…we…yeah…it's complicated." Santana shakes her head. Carmelo seems to take that as an answer. "I...I wanted to tell you. But…this isn't easy." Santana looks back down at her phone. She has a picture of Rachel laughing pulled up.
Rachel asked her if she wanted her to be there with her to tell her dad. But Santana declined the offer. She didn't want her dad to be overwhelmed. I mean…what she was telling him right now was enough. She didn't want to make it seem like she was throwing Rachel in his face.
Santana's wishing she would have at least asked Rachel stay somewhere in the house. Instead she's across town probably staring at her phone, waiting for Santana to call.
"Okay," Carmelo straightens up and looks at his daughter. "Can I…I just need..." Santana watches her dad shake his head and then walk towards her. "I have some papers I need to look over."
"Dad?" She grabs his arm as he moves to walk pass her.
"Santana…just…I have to get those papers taking care of."
Santana listens as he walks up the steps. When she hear his feet land on the top step, that's when she lets the tears fall.

Santana's been in her room for a little over an hour clutching a picture of her mom in her hand, while curled up in her bed. She turned her phone off thirty minutes ago after her friends and Rachel started texting and calling her. She did so without responding or answering to any of them.
"Hey," Santana's eyes pop open when she hears Rachel's voice. She starts to ask the girl how she got in but then remembers that Quinn has a key. Rachel probably demanded that the blonde handed it over.
Santana doesn't say anything as Rachel walks into the room, shutting the door behind her. Her eyes follow Rachel as she walks over to the night stand and taps Santana's phone. Rachel bits her bottom lip and look over at Santana. Santana can see the hurt and confusion in Rachel's eyes. She know Rachel is wondering why she didn't call her or at least answer her phone and let her know that she'd rather be left alone.
Rachel than slides her jacket off, than her shoes. Santana watches Rachel type out a message on her phone before sitting it next to Santana's on the night stand.
"The girls, Mike and Puck were parked outside in the truck. I just told them to go home. Mack's going to stay over Tina's tonight." Rachel says into the silent room.
Santana still doesn't speak.
"I'm not leaving." Rachel lets her know.
Santana remains silent.
Rachel quietly climbs onto the bed and spoons Santana.
"I wish my mom was here." Santana whispers pushing herself back into Rachel and pulling the picture closer to her chest.
