Ok so this chapter focuses on the other characters stories. There is little to no Grafia in this chapter just to let you know. But there will be lots more Grafia coming up...
Also I saw the old Qantas ad on YouTube (fellow Aussies you should know what I'm talking about) and so this chapter is heavily influenced by my Aussie Bogan self...I'm not a real Bogan...Just to be clear.
This one is also shorter than most…and kinda filler I guess…more to come soon though!
~~~ Rachel In Lima ~~~
Rachel sat with Michael as they waited in the hospital waiting room. Leroy had just been taken in for his surgery. Everyone seemed really positive about it all. The doctors and nurses told them that it was a simple procedure and now a days there was a very high rate of survival and a full recovery. Leroy himself had always been a positive thinker much like Rachel. Michael was more level headed and he tried not to let it show that he was still worried about his husband.
Rachel had grown to really despise hospitals. She had been in them far too many times in the last few months. So sitting there waiting for her daddy to come back out was a little daunting for the poor woman. Michael reached over and gently took her hand into his own. Rachel just smiled gently at her dad.
"Sorry for being a bit fidgety" She mumbled
"It's fine sweetheart"
"It's just...a lot of people who I love have been in hospital lately and I just don't like it" Rachel replied
"I understand...I wish we were there for you when Quinn had her heart attack. I'm nervous as hell right now...god knows how you managed through that" Michael spoke softly
Rachel chuckled and shook her head
"Trust me daddy...I didn't. I was a second away from completely losing it. I don't think I have ever been more terrified in my life...if it weren't for Santana and Brittany I would have fallen apart" Rachel admitted.
"If I had lost her...I...I don't think I would have survived that" Rachel added truthfully
Michael nodded in understanding then reached over to gently wipe away the few tears that had fallen down his daughter's cheeks. Rachel chuckled at her being all emotional.
"Sorry."
Michael just shook his head telling not to be sorry.
"He's going to be fine" Michael told her...and himself reassuring them both.
Rachel nodded then cuddled up to her father's side.
After some time Leroy's doctor came out to tell them that the surgery had gone well and that Leroy was up in recovery.
"Can we see him?" Michael asked
"Of course...he'll be a little groggy and will most likely just want to sleep but I'm sure he will be happy to see you both" The doctor replied with a kind smile.
"Thank you doctor" Michael shook his hand.
"Happy to help" He replied with a nod.
Michael and Rachel soon headed up to see Leroy. Like the doctor said he was pretty tired and was fast asleep when they reached his room. Michael leant over to kiss his husband on the forehead before he sat beside his bed and took his hand into his own. Rachel did the same taking his other hand before she sent a quick text message to her family telling them that her dad was out of surgery.
~~~ Missing Wives ~~~
Quinn sat there alone in her living room eyes glues to the TV as she shoved some fat free tasteless saltless popcorn into her mouth.
"Cordelia Chase, what did she wish for?"
"I had no idea her wish would be so exciting. Brave new world. I hope she likes it"
Quinn just sat there enthralled with what was playing out in front of her even though she had seen this episode like a million times. It still amazed her...that was how Charlie had found her mother when she came home that day. The young girl took one look at the TV and just rolled her eyes and sent a text to her Ma.
C: Please come home soon, mom's got into the Buffy DVDs…again!
It had been a week...one long week without Rachel and Quinn was missing her terribly. Though Quinn was happy that Rachel got to spend some time with her fathers but still...she missed her Rachel time and so she filled her boredom with Buffy.
"You trusting fool! How do you know the other world is any better than this?"
"Because it has to be"
"Mom?" Charlie sat down next to her mother
"Shhh!" Quinn hissed
Charlie just sighed her mother was like a teenager sometimes and ever since her Ma had gone back to Lima her mom has been in this funk. It was Buffy all day every day. So Charlie waited for the episode to finish till she spoke again.
"Mom how about you and me go out tonight? It'll be fun...just you and me we haven't done that in a long time...we could even see a show maybe" Charlie suggested
"What's playing?" Quinn mumbled
"Um...I think there's a new revival of Jesus Christ Superstar playing...and I'm pretty sure there's always a Rocky Horror late night showing somewhere" Charlie replied
"Mmm...JCS just reminds me of your mama because she's Jewish...and so does Rocky because of Glee" Quinn sighed
"Oh my god mom she'll be back next week" Charlie rolled her eyes.
"Yeah...but that's a whole seven days away" Quinn replied
"I'm sure you will survive...now are we going out or not?"
Quinn sighed and felt a little bad for brushing her daughter off.
"I'm sorry Charlie...yes I would love to go out and spend some time with you" Quinn gave her a small smile
"Good...now...go upstairs and get changed." Charlie ordered
"B-But I wanted to watch New Moon Rising...because Tillow" Quinn mumbled
"Mom you've seen this I don't know how many times" Charlie whined.
Quinn deflated a little at that.
"Oh fine. One more episode and then that's it" Charlie huffed
Quinn just smiled and got herself ready to fangirl over the moments between Willow and Tara…and the extra flamy candle and…being with the person that she l-loves…and she is! Nawwww!
Brittany was bored...like seriously she was so bored she contemplated starting some kind of hobby to fill her time. She was thinking about learning how to knit...obviously so she could make lots of adorable clothes for her grandbabies.
Santana's workload had begun to get more time consuming and for the last week she had been at her office all day and pretty much all night. They barely saw each other and half the time Santana would be late to dinner or miss it all together. Brittany knew this would happen Santana did warn her but it still sucked big time. It didn't help that Sofia was away on her honeymoon so she couldn't spend time with her daughter and Ben was busy with his ballet rehearsals and spending time with Charlie. So Brittany was bored.
She had just spent the last hour or so cleaning the house but that got tiresome quickly. So now she was just wandering around the house with nothing to do. As she walked past a bookshelf she decided to pick up an old photo album and look through it. It was from a long time ago but they all just made her smile.
It was of the Glee club their senior year when they had several new members she looked at all the faces of her old friends and thought about where they were all now. Half of them she knew but the rest they had lost touch years ago. Brittany regretted not putting enough effort in keeping in contact with them. After reaching the end of the album Brittany had the urge to do something she hadn't done in a while...dance...dance like she used to back in Glee.
So with that idea Brittany rearranged the living room to make enough space and flipped through her iPod for some music. She did a few warm ups and then just let the music flow through her and just danced.
She wasn't sure how long she had been dancing for she had lost track of time but before she knew it, it was dark outside and there was someone standing by the doorway watching her. With a bright smile Brittany finished her dance.
"Totally hot" Santana smiled
"I think I might have pulled something" Brittany chuckled as she rubbed her sore back.
"Want me to kiss it better?"
Brittany just smiled and moved to hug her wife.
"Ew you're all sweaty" Santana giggled but hugged her anyways.
"You love it" Brittany replied
"Only when I'm the one making you sweat"
Brittany's response was a quick kiss to the lips.
"You're home early today" She smiled happily and was a little excited to finally spend some time with her wife.
Santana slightly cringed feeling guilty
"Yeah...but I...Kinda have to go back to the office tonight" She hesitantly told her
Brittany's face fell and Santana felt bad.
"Oh...ok then" Brittany replied clearly deflated by that news.
She pulled out of her wife's embrace to start moving the furniture back.
"I'm sorry Britt" Santana muttered
"It's fine, I understand" Brittany replied though she didn't turn around to look at her while she spoke.
"I'll make it up to you this weekend I promise. We're all taking a break because we've been working so much lately." Santana tried to make the situation better
"Ok" Was all Brittany said before she headed out of the living room and went to go get dinner started.
Santana just sighed and made her way upstairs to have a quick shower otherwise she wouldn't get time to have one after dinner because she pretty much had to head back to the office. It had been unanimously voted that the senior partners needed to make sure they knew everything and anything about their upcoming case because they needed to win. So they had made the decision to work relentlessly to get up to speed with every minute detail which meant long hours. It had only been a week but Santana knew it was going to be a long process and she also knew Brittany was already starting to get annoyed by it. Brittany wouldn't say anything though but Santana knew it wouldn't be long till her wife would start to get pissed.
It wasn't like Brittany didn't want Santana to be successful that was not it at all. Brittany just didn't like it when Santana let her work get in the way of her life. Mostly because it would make the brunette stressed and grumpy, which meant more yelling and frustrated arguments about nothing. Also the last time Santana worked a big case like this she started getting grey hairs which just depressed the brunette.
After her quick shower Santana headed back downstairs to help her wife with the food.
"What can I do to help?" She asked
"It's fine." Brittany muttered as she stirred the food on the stove.
"Britt-"
"It's fine Santana…if you really want to help then just go set the table" Brittany cut her off.
Santana just nodded and silently grabbed the plates and cutlery and placed them onto the dining room table.
"Is Ben eating with us tonight?" Santana asked
"If you'd been here you would know" Brittany muttered to herself
"Huh?" Santana asked not hearing what she had said
"Yes he will be home any second" Brittany replied.
"Ok" Santana mumbled
She knew tonight was not going to be a ball of laughs. Brittany was in a mood, which didn't really happen often. Santana just sighed at what was sure to be a tension filled dinner at the Lopez-Pierce family home.
Ben came home not long after that after a long day at rehearsals. He came into the kitchen and was a little surprised and then happy to see that his Ma was actually home for dinner for once in like a whole week.
"Ma, hi" Ben smiled brightly
"Hey Benny…did have a good um…were you at ballet or college?" Santana asked
"Ballet" Ben replied
"Right…how was it?" Santana asked then jumped at the loud sound of Brittany placing or slamming (take your pick) the saucepan onto the counter.
"It was alright…I'm exhausted though" Ben replied
Santana was about to ask something else but was cut off by her wife
"Ben could you please wash up dinners ready" Brittany asked
"Ok, I'll be real quick" Ben replied then darted upstairs to get changed out of his dancing clothes.
"What's your problem Britt?" Santana asked
"I don't have a problem Santana" Brittany replied as she dished up the food
"Look I told you things will be busy with this case…I'll be home for the weekend I promise" Santana sighed
"I'm going to hold you to that promise San" Brittany replied before she passed her wife and headed into the dining room with the plates of food.
~~~ Be Brave ~~~
It was the day of the trial and Maya was panicking. She had locked herself in the bedroom and refused to come out. Toby had been trying for over twenty minutes to get her to come out but she wouldn't budge.
"Maya" Toby sighed
"Go away Toby" Maya replied
"I'm not going anywhere. I promised I'll be there for you and that's what I'm doing." Toby reminded her
"I don't want to go."
"I know you don't...but Maya you've gotta do this...I know you can do this. You're one of the strongest and bravest women I know. You survived all that shit he threw at you...you're a survivor and you can march into that court room and show the world who Alex really is. You have the power now...not him. Show him the Maya you really are. The Maya I know and love." Toby replied through the wooden door.
"I'm not her anymore Toby" Maya replied sadly
"Yes you are...I know you."
There was a long silence and when it seemed like it wasn't working Toby was about to say something else to get her to come out but he was stopped when the lock on the door clicked and the door slowly opened. Toby gave Maya a reassuring smile as she slowly inched out of the bedroom. He held out his hand for her to take. It took a few moments but in the end she took his hand into her own letting him gently pull her the rest of the way out.
"I'm sorry" She mumbled
"Don't be…I know today is going to be shit…having to see him and relive everything…you're really brave Maya" He gently told her.
"I wouldn't have been without you" She replied
"Well…I don't know about that but I'm glad to help" He smiled at her then placed a small kiss to her cheek.
"I'm ready" Maya nodded and spoke with confidence.
"Let's go then…afterwards we can go get Ally and go to the park if you want" Toby suggested
"I think that would be really nice" Maya replied with a small smile.
~~~ I Still Call Australia Home ~~~
Hannah closed her lap top with a heavy sigh. She had just finished reading an email from her older sister who was still living in Queensland. She had sent her some photos of what she had been up to on Australia day a few weeks ago. Hannah loved hearing from her sister but sometimes her emails made her sad because it just made her miss her island home.
Hannah hadn't been back to Australia for over ten years now and she really wanted to go back. She wanted to see her family and go to all the places she had grown up. She wanted to show her sons some of their background where their mother came from. But being a teenage mum and getting a house with a mortgage meant any trips to the land down under were put on hold.
It was her day off of work and the boys were at school and Becky was at work. So Hannah decided to do all things stereotypically Aussie. She grabbed out her Ugg boots, her flannel shirt and had a cuppa tea for breaky with some Vegemite on toast.
Hannah then cracked open a stubby of VB because a hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer and the best cold beer is Vic…even though she hated that brand of beer…she actually preferred cider but she was in her Aussie Bogan mood so VB it was. Hannah then sat down to watch a bunch of Aussie movies. After that she listened to nothing but Aussie songs while she sat back and relaxed. She had gone out for a few minutes to the shops to get some lamb chops for dinner that night because not eating lamb is bloody unaustralian. It's even in the song Waltzing Matilda. It's about a man steeling a sheep to eat and then killing himself so he wouldn't get caught.
Becky had come home that day to find her wife sprawled out on the couch watching a game of Aussie Rules Football beer in one hand and a good old meat pie in the other.
"Carn the Crows!" Hannah yelled out
Becky just chuckled to herself at the sight.
"Aww you're so adorable my little Aussie battler" Becky smiled
Hannah turned to look over at her wife and just gave her a lazy smile then beckoned her over. Becky sat down next to the brunette and took a sip of her beer.
"Ugh that stuff is gross" She cringed.
Hannah just chuckled and nodded
"Who's winning?" She asked
"Crows of course"
"I thought you hated them" Becky replied in confusion
"Well yeah but I prefer them to bloody Collingwood." Hannah scoffed
"They're the magpies right?"
Hannah just nodded
"You seem very...Bogan today" Becky observed.
"I'm getting in touch with my heritage" Hannah replied
"I thought your real heritage was British?"
"Well...yeah but only half I mean my mum's parents were ten pound poms but my dad's parents were true blue Aussies I told you I'm like one sixteenth Aboriginal and I was born and raised in the great southern land" Hannah replied proudly
Becky just nodded
"So what's brought this on?"
"My sister sent me some photos of Australia day and I...I don't know I miss it I guess. Even though I've been in America for over ten years I still miss the Aussie life." Hannah sighed
Becky just gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Wanna have sex to make you feel better?" Becky offered
Hannah just laughed
"Or as they say down under wanna have a root?" Becky said trying to do an Aussie accent.
"You are a gorgeous woman" Hannah chuckled before she placed her beer and meat pie on the coffee table and kissed her wife.
Becky crawled on top of Hannah pinning her down on the couch holding her arms above her head with one hand while the other went straight for the boobs.
"Tie me kangaroo down, sport" Hannah sang while she giggled
Becky just laughed
"You're such an Aussie"
"That's why you love me" Hannah smirked
"No it was the tongue ring that did it for me" Becky sighed wistfully.
Hannah just gave her wife a wicked smile and pulled her hands out of Becky's grip and went straight for the blonde's thighs pushing her skirt up higher and higher till they were bunched up at her hips. With her right hand Hannah teasingly brushed her fingers over Becky's panty clad centre causing the blonde's breath to hitch and make her tremble slightly at the touch.
"You're already wet" Hannah noted with a happy grin
"Well I've been thinking about you all day" Becky replied
"Smooth talker" Hannah chuckled
"I'm being serious...I was sitting at my desk and all I could think about was you and your tongue piercing and how fucking talented you are with it." Becky replied as she slowly ran her hands up and down Hannah's arms
"It was torture being away from you for those six or so months" Becky added albeit a little sadly
"I know" Hannah replied softly
A familial sadness fell over the couple as their minds went back to those painful months of their separation and of course what had been the cause of said separation.
She wasn't going to lie. It still bothered Hannah that someone else touched her wife in a way that she was only supposed to. That someone else felt the way Becky would clench around their fingers or see and hear her as she toppled over the edge...she hated the thought of her wife calling out someone else's name. But over time she had just learnt to accept that it happened and move on mostly because she just wanted her wife back.
"I love you Hannah" Becky softly mumbled pulling the brunette out of her thoughts.
"I love you too Becky" She replied instantly.
Becky leant down to kiss her wife tenderly as the moment called for it. Hannah brought both hands up to cup Becky's face to hold her there and deepened the kiss, Becky was happy to oblige.
With one hand Hannah trailed her fingers down to Becky's waist and then slipped her hand into her wife's panties running her fingers through her slick folds. Hannah smiled into the kiss when Becky let out a throaty groan at her touch.
"You're drenched" Hannah mumbled with satisfaction.
"All for you" Becky panted
With that Hannah slipped two fingers deep inside her wife making Becky moan rather loudly at the sudden yet pleasurable intrusion. The blonde began to slowly rock her hips as Hannah kept her hand still just feeling the warmth of being inside Becky. She would never get tired of being like this.
"Han...please" Becky's voice was strangled and a little desperate.
Becky wasn't making it up that she had been thinking about Hannah all day. She'd been worked up since early afternoon.
But to Becky's surprise and annoyance Hannah slowly pulled out and sat up. Becky looked at her in confusion and frustration. Hannah just thought she looked adorable.
"Don't panic" Hannah chuckled as she pecked her wife's lips.
"What are yo-"
Becky was unable to finish because Hannah had pushed her down on her back and pretty much ripped her underwear off. Becky got the picture and just grinned.
Now sitting between her wife's legs Hannah began to kiss her way up Becky's milky white skin making her shiver in anticipation.
It was slightly awkward because the couch wasn't that big but they managed.
Hannah made her way up to Becky's hips teasing her as much as she could get away with. She knew her wife wouldn't be able to handle much more because she could feel her trembling beneath her and she was making that soft whimpering noise she always made just before she yelled at her to hurry the fuck up.
"Han hurry the fuck up" Becky whined
Hannah just chuckled softly to herself she knew her wife inside and out and that just made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
With a mischievous smile Hannah ever so lightly kissed her wife's centre and then pulled back. She waited all three seconds before Becky let out a frustrated groan and sat up on her elbows glaring down at her wife.
"Seriously?" She grumbled
"What?" Hannah replied with an innocent smile.
"Hannah." Becky whined again looking down at her.
Then without any kind of warning Hannah dove down running her tongue swiftly through her wife's folds making Becky jerk at the sudden sensations causing her to let out a loud moan of pleasure. Hannah just smiled as she wrapped her lips around Becky's throbbing clit sucking on it and flicking her tongue at rapid then slow paces. Becky reached down to thread her fingers through brown hair adding a little pressure to make sure her wife wouldn't pull away again. Her other hand reached down to entwine her fingers with Hannah's own.
Hannah continued her assault on her wife using her tongue piercing to add that extra little bit. When Hannah could feel her wife heading for the edge she quickly pulled one of Becky's legs over her shoulder and moved her tongue lower and thrust it inside her wife as deep as she could.
Becky let out a loud scream and arched her back as Hannah's free hand went to work on rubbing tight circles around her oversensitive clit building up that pressure. Hannah could feel her wife start to clench around her tongue and could feel her fingernails dig into her scalp. Becky was almost there so Hannah quickly switched by bringing her tongue back up to lavishly flick at Becky's clit and thrust her fingers deep inside her curling them at the right spot that was all it took for Becky to tumble over the edge screaming out Hannah 's name.
~~~ Late Night Phone Calls ~~~
Quinn woke up with a start she was breathing heavy, she was a little sweaty and her heart was pounding. At first she thought she was having another heart attack but then the images of her dream came flooding back and she soon realised she had just woken up from a horrible nightmare.
Quinn reached over to turn the bedside lamp on and looked over at the alarm clock. It was 2:26am with a heavy sigh Quinn sat up and rubbed her eyes trying to get those horrible images out of her memories. But they weren't going away!
Quinn dragged herself out of bed and went into the bathroom for a glass of water. She needed to calm herself down. Her skin was still crawling from the horrors of her dream. Normally Quinn didn't have nightmares. Sure she'd get the odd one or two but that was usually after watching one of Rachel's horror movies. And after she woke up Quinn had her amazing wife lying right next to her for Quinn to cuddle and Rachel would make all the scary stuff go away. This time though, Rachel was in Lima and Quinn was sleeping alone.
The blonde made her way back to bed snuggling herself down into her blankets and tried to go back to sleep but those images kept her from closing her eyes. With a frustrated sigh she sat up a bit and contemplated whether or not she could call her wife. It was late and she knew Rachel wouldn't be happy to have her beauty sleep interrupted but Quinn needed some comfort. So with slight hesitation Quinn grabbed her mobile and speed dialled her wife's phone.
All the way over in Lima Rachel growled in her sleep at the sudden noise that was coming from beside her. When it wouldn't stop she grudgingly flung her hand out to make the sounds go away. When that did work Rachel slowly opened her eyes and glared at her phone. But once she saw Quinn's caller ID a wave of panic went through the brunette. Why on earth would Quinn be calling this late?
"Hello?" Rachel answered in a hurry
"Hey baby...did I wake you?" Quinn's soft voice came through the phone line.
"Quinn...it's like two in the morning of course you woke me" Rachel huffed
"Right...sorry"
"S'ok...now what's wrong? Is it your heart? Is it one of the kids? What?" Rachel asked getting worried
"Oh...um...no, no its nothing serious or anything like that" Quinn replied sheepishly.
"Well then why are you calling me so late?" Rachel yawned
"W-Well...I...I had a bad dream" Quinn mumbled
Rachel just laid there and just shook her head.
"Sweetie...you called me up late at night, waking me from my sleep...because you had a bad dream?"
"Um...yeah" Quinn replied feeling slightly silly now.
Rachel just chuckled
"I needed you to hold me and tell me it wasn't real" Quinn quietly mumbled
"Aww Quinn you are just too adorable" Rachel cooed
"I know"
"Alright so what was this bad dream about?" Rachel asked as she got herself comfortable on her bed.
"Well...it wasn't just a bad dream Rach it was like a nightmare."
"What happened? Was it that one where the dildo went on a killing spree and you had to blow up all of the donuts in the world to save everyone?" Rachel asked
"No...I haven't dreamt about that one in a while. This one was different and ten times more worse" Quinn replied
"Tell me what happened Quinn"
"Ok well...we were back in high school only we were us...not our teenage selves, anyway we were all in the auditorium and...and I think we were singing something I'm not sure what but right in the middle of the song this big giant oaf came crashing into the room and proposed to you...right in front of me! And I was like screaming at you not to say yes but you wouldn't listen to me and then Brittany came running though the auditorium telling everyone she had a daughter but it wasn't Sofia, her name was Salt or something...and then you said yes and then you just left me to be with this dopey, stupid, sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot...you just left me. You stayed in Lima and left me!" Quinn rambled getting all upset.
Rachel sat there listening to her wife and trying not to giggle at the random and kinda silly dream that she had.
"Ok...um...well-"
"You left me Rach!" Quinn cried
"Quinn...I would never ever leave you not if I can help it. I married you and I will only ever be married to you. No one else will ever take me away" Rachel replied
"That's not true" Quinn sniffed
Rachel sighed
"Quinn...I would never had left you for Frankie...never"
Quinn went quiet for a moment and Rachel got a little worried.
"I miss you Rachel" Quinn finally spoke
"I miss you too honey. But I'll be home soon"
"I know...I'm just...I don't know. That dream just freaked me out I guess." Quinn sighed
"Well I think it would have freaked me out too." Rachel replied
"Rachel"
"Yes?"
"I love you"
Rachel just smiled that silly little smile she reserved only for her wife.
"I love you too"
"I wish you were here so I could wrap my arms around your tight little body...you always make me feel safe" Quinn softly murmured
"I wish I was there with you too. I never realized how small my old bed was...how on earth we both fit on it I'll never know" Rachel chuckled
"What happened to the spare room?" Quinn asked
"The pipes leaked and so Dad and Daddy had to get it redone. The queen sized bed got all damp so I had to use my old bed." Rachel explained
"Oh...if that bed could talk it would tell some pretty awesome stories" Quinn chuckled
"It definitely would" Rachel nodded with a smile
"I'm sorry for waking you" Quinn said again with a slight yawn
"It's alright...although you did wake me up while I was having a very lovely dream"
"Yeah? What was it about?" Quinn asked
"Well...actually it was quiet similar to yours only mine didn't have any marriage proposals. In mine it was just you and me singing West Side Story and then we made love right there on the stage" Rachel replied
"Aw I wish I had that dream" Quinn pouted
Rachel just chuckled
"It was pretty good"
"Rachel I'm getting sleepy now" Quinn yawned
"Me too"
"Stay with me till I fall asleep?" Quinn asked
"Always"
Quinn just smiled then snuggled down in her bed holding the phone tightly to her ear. Rachel did the same.
"Goodnight Quinn" Rachel murmured then kissed the phone
"Night Rachel" Quinn replied and kissed her phone too.
Pretty much after that both women managed to drift off back to sleepy land.
~~~ All Work And No Play ~~~
It was the weekend and Brittany was happy to finally have her wife back for a few days. Santana had gotten home late on Friday missing dinner again, which Brittany wasn't all that pleased about but let it go because Santana had promised she'd be home all day on Saturday and Sunday.
The married couple lay cuddled up together in their bed as the sun began to filter through the curtains. With a big yawn Brittany opened her eyes and smiled softly at her wife. She had just fallen into bed with her work clothes on late that night. Brittany did feel sorry for her wife working all those long hours, it had to be stressful and tiresome. It was why Brittany was slightly annoyed by it because it made her wife sleepy and grumpy.
Brittany rolled onto her side facing her wife and placed a soft sweet kiss to her lips. Santana just smiled and let out a small sigh of contentment. Brittany just giggled at her reaction. This had always been one of Brittany's favourite ways of waking up her wife. Her all-time favourite ways was kissing her other set of lips.
"Bubbles" Brittany softly called
Santana just grumbled and snuggled into her pillow scrunching up her nose. Brittany just thought she looked adorable.
"Come on sleepy head…wake up" Brittany chuckled
"No" Santana whined softly
"Don't make me tickle you" Brittany teased
"S'not fair" Santana grumbled into her pillow
"Come on Sanny…you owe me Santana time"
The brunette cracked open one eye making Brittany giggle at the sight.
"Only if we can have sex" Santana told her with a small yawn
"Totally" Brittany grinned
"M'kay then" Santana smiled
She pushed herself up and leaned over to her wife kissing her good morning.
"I think you need to get out of these work clothes San" Brittany muttered
"I think so too…wanna strip me?" Santana smirked
"Only if you strip me first" Brittany smirked back.
"I accept these terms" Santana nodded then went to work getting rid of Brittany's clothes.
They ended up in the shower together later that morning both women relishing in the time they got to spend together after a whole week of pretty much nothing. It was a welcome break from all that paper work and boring old people talking about legal stuff all day and night. Unfortunately though it was short lived.
Brittany was making lunch for them both when the phone rang. Santana got up to answer it and right away she knew it was not going to be good. It was work, apparently something new had been brought into the case some new evidence or statement whatever it was it was important and so everyone needed to get back to the office. Santana hung up the phone and rapidly went through what she was going to tell her wife.
"Who was on the phone?" Brittany asked looking up from what she was doing
"Um…i-it…it was work" Santana hesitantly replied
Brittany's face fell and she let out an annoyed sigh
"I'm sorry Britt" Santana muttered
"You promised San"
"I know…I know I did but…I have to go" She regretfully told her
"Whatever" Brittany snapped before she stormed out.
Santana just sighed heavily as she stood there alone in the kitchen.
~~~ Every Breath You Take, Every Move You Make ~~~
Becky had just got out of another session with Diane. She was beginning to like going and talking about stuff with someone who had an outsider's perspective. Becky had told Diane the complete saga of Valerie and her craziness. Though strangely enough Valerie has been keeping her distance lately, which was a warm welcome for Becky. The redhead had been avoiding her in the staff room and barely even looked at her anymore. Becky hoped that whatever fixation Valerie had on her was finally going away.
That was until she entered her office and found an ominous unmarked envelop sitting on her desk. Normally it wouldn't be that unusual but today Becky just had a weird feeling about it. She carefully picked it up and turned it over to see if there was anything written on the back, there wasn't. So she opened it up and pulled out the only thing that was in there. Becky gasped and felt sick to her stomach when she saw what it was. It was her old family photo that she had lost weeks ago only now Hannah's face had been scratched out.
Note to all my Aussies reading this...I am in no way a Crows supporter, but I'm totally agreeing with Hannah about a certain football club...sorry if there are any Magpie fans out there.
I will quietly point out I am a Port Power supporter...what? What? Don't judge!
