lol those who are comparing Toby with Finn…wasn't intentional I had always pictured Toby to be more similar to Puck actually…
Once again thanking you all for your reviews and PMs….you guys are too kind.
~~~ Thinking Things Through ~~~
Sofia woke up early that morning well before her alarm went off so she quickly disabled it so it wouldn't wake Grace up unnecessarily. She looked over at her sleeping wife she was on her back with one arm under her head and the other resting on her stomach. Things had definitely been a little strained between them and Sofia was starting to miss how they were. She really just hated the whole situation. She hated that it would be too risky to try and get pregnant knowing that there is a very high risk of miscarriage if she actually managed to fall pregnant in the first place. Sofia wasn't sure she could handle something like that.
She really wanted Grace to be the one to get pregnant if she couldn't. She would be able to deal with her own disappointment if she could at least experience it with Grace. But Sofia knew that Grace didn't want too and she didn't want to make her do something she didn't want. So Sofia won't ask her...not again. The last few days had made Sofia force herself to think of the alternatives adoption or getting someone else to carry their baby. As of this moment she hadn't made up her mind.
Sofia rolled onto her side facing her wife and just watched her. She gently ran her fingers down the length of Grace's arm till she reached the brunette's hand that rest on her stomach. Sofia didn't notice Grace open her eyes at the touch as she just looked at their joined hands on Grace's tummy.
Grace laid there watching her wife for a few moments before she brought her other hand down to rest on top of their already joined hands. The action brought Sofia out of her daze and she looked up to find her wife looking back at her.
"Sofia?" Grace softly whispered.
Sofia didn't say anything she just leaned down and kissed her wife. She lingered there for a few moments just letting her mind clear and just focus solely on her and Grace when she slowly pulled away she didn't notice she was crying again, not until Grace gently wiped her tears away.
"I'm sorry" Sofia mumbled as she rolled back onto her back.
"Don't be" Grace replied
"I'm gonna talk to my parents today" Sofia quietly spoke after a long silence.
"Do you want me to come with?" Grace hesitantly asked
"No…I…I wanna do it by myself…is that ok?" Sofia replied
"Of course, whatever you want"
Sofia nodded and took a deep breath before she sat up and got out of bed.
"I need to get ready for work…you should get some more sleep it's pretty early" Sofia told her
"I'm up anyway…I'll make you some breakfast" Grace replied as she got up as well and headed to the kitchen
"Gracie" Sofia called out before she left the bedroom
The brunette turned around and found Sofia standing there looking like a little lost lamb. So she made the few steps towards her wife and wrapped her up into a big hug.
~~~ The Ugly Scary Truth ~~~
Hannah opened her front door to two police officers that afternoon which could never be a good thing. Becky had told her wife all about the other day's drama and that Valerie was that much closer to being out of their lives for good. They didn't want to celebrate just yet because Valerie was slimy and they didn't want to jinx it. The Aussie ushered them in and told Max to go get his mom and then take Cooper outside to play for a while.
Hannah offered the cops something to drink as they sat in the living room waiting for Becky to come in. Once the blonde was sitting next to her wife they waited for the police to speak. The married couple were so not prepared for what came next. It was probably one of the most sickening things they had ever heard.
"Mrs. Marshal we are here to update you on the situation regarding Valerie Hindley." The female cop stated
Becky subconsciously moved her hand to clasp Hannah's as she nodded.
"As you were informed we searched her home for more evidence of illegal drugs but what we actually found was...something else." She continued.
"You reported that she had been harassing you and accusing you of various things and then the photo...well judging by what we found it was very good timing that the narcotics department did that drug raid at the school." The other cop spoke up.
"What do you mean? What did you find?" Hannah asked with a hint of worry.
The female cop handed over an envelope to Becky who looked confused but she hesitantly opened it and what she saw totally shocked her. Hannah leaned over to see what it was and it freaked her the hell out.
What the police had given them were several photo shots of the inside of Valerie's home. Or at least one room specifically. It could only be described as a shrine to Rebecca Marshal. The walls were covered in photos of Becky some were of her at work and some of them were when she was sleeping those are the ones that freaked her out the most.
"We also found a diary that contained...detailed plans of..."
"Of what?" Becky asked still feeling slightly sick.
"They were plans on ways she wanted to...get rid of your wife" The female cop explained
To say they were shocked would have been a major understatement if there ever was one.
"We also uncovered a video tape that had been dated to some kind of Christmas party-"
"Oh my god she didn't...she taped...ugh I feel sick" Becky gaged
"Valerie isn't talking and so she's been ordered to get an in depth psychiatric assessment." The cop added
"And the tape?" Hannah asked through gritted teeth trying not to explode with anger right now
"The tape will be stored away as evidence but once any kind of legal proceedings have finished it will be destroyed" The officer explained.
"What…what is exactly on that tape?" Becky hesitantly asked
"The report only stated that it was located within your office it was probably placed there that evening as there is nothing else on the tape." He replied
"But what was on it?" She asked again getting pissed off at the whole situation
The two police officers shifted uncomfortably in their chairs
"Ma'am the contents of the tape wasn't very good quality but it did show of you and Miss. Hindley engaging in-"
"Ok I get it please stop" Becky cut her off.
"What happens now? She goes to prison right?" Hannah asked
"That's up to the courts to decide I'm afraid…she'll get some kind of punishment for the drugs but the other stuff…we can't say. I'm sorry" The female cop replied
Both women felt sick to their stomach after hearing and seeing what the true extent of Valerie's craziness was. It was terrifying.
"I want to see the tape" Becky suddenly spoke up
Hannah and the two police officers were a little surprised by that
"What? Why?" Hannah asked sounding a little angry
"I…I need to know Hannah" Becky replied quietly
The Aussie understood what her wife meant. Hannah wanted to know too but she wasn't sure if she could bring herself to know because if it were true she wouldn't be able to forgive herself for putting Becky through so much pain when it wasn't her fault. But then she also knew that knowing the truth her wife could find some peace and help to deal with it and move on with her life.
"Have you seen it?" Becky asked the two police officers
"No Ma'am…only the Chief and one other detective has watched it." One of them spoke up
Becky nodded
"Can I see it?" She asked again
"We will ask our chief but can I ask why you want to watch it?" The other cop asked
Becky hesitantly looked over at her wife who just squeezed her hand for support. Becky hated that she had to lie because it could backfire and put everything in jeopardy but she couldn't really tell them how she found out about the drugs in Valerie's classroom.
"I…I heard what kind of drug she had…and…after thinking about that night and everything that happened after it I…I just want to know…that tape could maybe give me an answer" Becky explained
The two police officers understood what Becky was trying to say and just nodded.
~~~ Mother & Son ~~~
Toby was getting ready to leave for work that afternoon he had just dropped Ally off at the day-care centre because Maya was out job hunting and he wanted Ally to spend some more time with kids her own age so she could start building up some friendships of her own. He locked his door and headed towards his parents' house when he found his Ma sitting by the pool looking sad. He hated seeing his Ma like this it wasn't right. He was so used to seeing her happy and always smiling but this year has been a real doozy. So much has happened and this latest thing doesn't help, Toby felt bad for how he had treated his mother the other day after everything she's been through she really didn't need her sometimes over dramatic son being such a jackass towards her. Toby made up his mind and made a small detour and headed over and took a seat next to his mother on one of the lounge chairs.
"Hey Ma"
"Hey" Rachel smiled softly with a hint of unsureness.
"Ma I want to apologise" Toby stated
Rachel looked a little surprised.
"The way I behaved the other day was fucking shitty." He added
"Language" Rachel quietly muttered
Toby just gave her his cheeky grin and pulled her in to a hug. Rachel hugged him back tightly.
"I'm sorry for what I said...I was just...surprised I guess...it kinda threw me you know?" He explained
Rachel nodded in understanding.
"You and mom are clearly happy and together. You have been for like...ever. So whatever happened in the past...happened in the past." Toby added.
"Toby you have to know that it was nothing but a kiss." Rachel stressed
"I believe you Ma." He replied
Rachel nodded and pulled him back into a hug.
"I won't say anything to anyone if you don't want me too" Toby muttered.
"It's not that you need to keep a secret from your sisters but..."
"It's not exactly a conversation topic at the dinner table" Toby finished
Rachel nodded.
"I get it...I won't say anything." Toby replied.
"You're my favourite son you know that?" Rachel told him with a loving smile
Toby just laughed.
"Yeah I wonder why that is" He joked
"Because you're an amazing man and I'm proud of you that's why" Rachel replied with a smile.
"Yeah I am pretty awesome" He grinned
Rachel just rolled her eyes and playfully shoved him.
"Ma I need to tell you something"
"What is it?" She asked with curiosity
"I'm um...I'm planning on moving out" He replied
Rachel's face dropped in surprise
"W-What? Why? When?" She rapidly asked
"Maya and I are gonna buy a new place together. It's getting a little cramped in there now"
Rachel smiled a little at that.
"You and Maya? As in you two are officially together, together for real" Rachel asked
Toby nodded with a smile.
"And you're buying a house together...Toby are you telling me you and Maya are getting married soon?" Rachel asked a little hopeful
Toby just laughed.
"Ah no Ma. No marriages just yet"
Rachel frowned
"I wouldn't rule it out but for now...no" He added with a smile
"Well just don't do what your big sister did and try and get married behind our backs" Rachel warned him.
~~~ Mothers & Daughter ~~~
Sofia turned the key in the lock and entered her parents' house and made her way inside and went looking for her mothers. She found her Ma sitting in the living room with her laptop concentrating on whatever it was she was doing.
"Ma, where's mom?" Sofia called out
Santana looked up a little surprised to see her daughter there she hadn't heard her come in.
"Well look what the cat dragged in. Where the hell have you been? You know just because you're married now doesn't mean you can ignore your mothers" Santana replied
"Where's mom?" Sofia just asked again
Santana frowned and took her glasses off her daughter did not look or sound like her daughter right now.
"Ducky what's wrong?" She asked with concern
"Can you just…get mom?" Sofia replied
Santana nodded and got up she kissed her daughter's cheek as she passed her to go get Brittany she didn't know what it was but she just knew something was up with her daughter and it kinda worried her. Sofia sighed and sat down on the couch and waited. Not long after that Brittany and Santana came back to the living room. They sat either side of their daughter both looking concerned.
"Ducky?" Brittany prompted when Sofia didn't say anything
"I went to the doctors and I had some tests done…" Sofia began
So many different things went through her mothers' mind when they heard that. Brittany had a wave of fear go through her as the first thing she thought was that her daughter had breast cancer like she did. Santana thought the same thing.
"Gracie and I…we were going to start trying for a baby" Sofia explained
Her mothers looked surprised but they didn't get excited because their daughter looked far too sad for this to be good news.
"The tests came back and um…I have an odd shaped uterus which…makes it nearly impossible for me to get pregnant. I…I can't have kids…I just…wanted to let you know" Sofia told them with tears in her eyes and her voice was starting to tremble.
"Is this my fault?" Brittany asked sadly once the shock wore off
Sofia looked at her mother with confusion.
"I mean...d-did I do something wrong when I was pregnant with you?" Brittany clarified with worry
"No, mom...you didn't do anything wrong. It's just...one of those things I guess" Sofia explained as she wiped away her tears.
Brittany just nodded sadly
"I'm so sorry Ducky" Brittany pulled her daughter towards her and placed a kiss on her head.
Santana hadn't said anything by that point she was still a little shocked and her heart broke for her daughter. She couldn't imagine how much this must have hurt to find out especially with how much Sofia wanted this. Santana carefully moved her hand to take hold of Sofia's. She entwined their fingers which Sofia let her do willingly and gave her Ma's hand a small squeeze.
"Is Grace going to carry the baby?" Brittany hesitantly asked after a long while of the three of them just sitting there.
"No" Sofia simply replied
"Have you asked?" Santana finally found her voice
Sofia nodded slightly
"You know you guys can still have kids… there's always adoption and you could even get someone else to carry the baby for you…you can still use your eggs right?" Brittany asked
Sofia once again just nodded.
"Have you and Grace talked about your options?" Santana asked
"Not really." Sofia answered
"Well whatever you two decide you know me and your Mami will support you both no matter what ok?" Brittany replied
"I know mom" Sofia mumbled sadly
The three of them just sat there for a long while Brittany and Santana comforting their baby girl while Sofia explained in more detail the reasons why it would be far too risky to get pregnant. Brittany had quickly gone into the kitchen to make some hot coco to try and cheer her daughter up a little. The blonde felt terrible she couldn't imagine what it must have been like to be in Sofia's shoes when she found out the news. She had never seen her daughter look so sad.
Sofia sat with Santana on the couch while they waited for Brittany to come back with the drinks. Surprisingly enough Santana hadn't really said much the whole time it was mostly Brittany who did the talking and trying to comfort Sofia with her words. But then the blonde had always been better at that sort of thing than Santana. The Latina was more about using physical contact to help comfort someone so she just held her daughter's hand the whole time.
"What do you think I should do Ma?" Sofia softly asked
"What do you mean Ducky?" Santana replied
"If you were me…what would you do?" She asked again
"I don't know." Santana sighed
"Real helpful Ma" Sofia replied with a small smile and playfully nudged her mother's shoulder with her own
"Hey I'm helpful in a lot of things" Santana huffed
"Yeah like strangling my fingers." Sofia replied with a raised eyebrow at their joined hands but didn't untangle them
"You know you're not too old for an ass whooping" Santana warned her
"Oh I'd like to see you try old lady." Sofia scoffed
"Hey that's just getting rude"
"Well if the grey hair fits…" Sofia replied
Santana narrowed her eyes at her daughter
"I'll get you back don't worry…when you least expect it" Santana told her ominously
"Oooh I'm shaking in my designer boots" Sofia chuckled
A weird yet comfortable silence fell over the two Latinas.
"Thanks ma" Sofia gently muttered
"I love you Ducky" Santana smiled softly at her daughter before she pulled her into a big hug.
~~~ It's Just A Little Bit Of History Repeating ~~~
Charlie got to the theatre early that morning she was too excited to wait Ben had been waiting with her but he soon had to head off for his own rehearsals. Ever since their night together the two love birds couldn't stop being all adorable and clingy with each other.
Charlie waited in the foyer for the other people to arrive as she re-read over the notes and songs that she was given after her audition. She pretty much knew it all word for word by now but there was no such thing as being over-prepared…not for Charlie anyway.
The tiny Diva had been on a high since last week first getting one of the leading roles in an off-Broadway show and then finally taking that last step with Ben in their relationship. That night was perfect it was everything Charlie had dreamed it would be. Sure Ben was really nervous and kinda didn't know what he was doing but Charlie didn't care he was a fast learner and it was just really magical. She kinda found it a little adorable the morning after when Ben got all flustered and shy waking up to a naked Charlie.
The girl was pulled out of her thoughts when a familiar face showed up next to her it was Frankie. He gave her a warm smile as he unlocked the main doors to the stage area.
"You're here early" He noted
"Yeah…I kinda…I'm just really excited and I couldn't wait to get started" Charlie admitted with a slight blush
Frankie just laughed and nodded
"Your mother was the same. She was such a perfectionist she was always the first to arrive and last to leave" He replied
"Yeah? What else was she like?" Charlie asked intrigued to know a little bit about her mother before she became her mother.
"She had an amazing talent. Her voice was incredible…I've been in the business for a long time and I've never heard anyone like her…though you come pretty close." He replied with a fond smile
"Really? I've always admired my Ma's voice…we would always sing together…she pretty much taught me everything I know" Charlie added
"It was a shame that she quit" Frankie stated with a frown.
"I never really got why she did…I mean she always told me it was because she wanted to start a family but there are lots of stars who have families and still perform." Charlie mused
"I never understood it either. Maybe someone was just holding her back" Frankie replied before he headed off to go unlock the other doors.
Charlie gave him an odd look at that last comment but shrugged it off before she started warming up her voice.
~~~ Baby Talk ~~~
Grace sat there stunned at what Hannah had just told her. The Aussie had finishing retelling her friend everything about what the police had found at Valerie's house. Grace could not believe it, It was like out of some thriller movie or something.
"Wow" Was all she could get out
"I know…god you have no idea how much I wanted to just go down to that police station and beat her to a bloody pulp." Hannah gritted out
"This is insane…what happens now?" Grace asked
"I don't know…we wait I guess." Hannah sighed in defeat.
The two friends sat there trying to comprehend the craziness of the whole situation.
"How are you and Sofia doing?" Hannah then asked changing the topic because if she thought anymore about it she would go crazy herself.
"Honestly? I don't know…we haven't talked about it much…or at all. I've been doing a lot of thinking" Grace replied
Hannah just nodded. The Aussie was a kinda like Grace at first she was hesitant in getting pregnant because she didn't think she would be able to do it. But after getting over the fact that it only lasted for nine months and then you get this amazing gift afterwards it was totally worth it. So Hannah told her just that.
"It's really not as bad as some people make it out to be Grace." Hannah added
"I know…but…it just seems so…painful and ok I know I'm not that vain but I like my body the way it is." Grace mumbled
Hannah just chuckled
"Gracie…you're an athlete you probably workout in your sleep. I mean I'd like to think that my body hasn't changed that much from being pregnant and I'm nowhere near as athletic as you. And as for the pain…you got through getting your knee completely torn to shreds pushing out a baby is nothing…and there's always drugs to numb the pain" Hannah replied
Grace nodded
"I guess…" She added quietly
"Look it's totally your choice and if you decide that you don't think you could go through with it then don't." Hannah told her
"How did you make up your mind?" Grace asked
"Well…I looked at Max and just thought about how much I loved him…and figured its totally worth those few months if I get something as perfect as he is. Trust me Gracie when you hold your baby for the first time…it's like nothing you have ever felt before. The amount of love you have for this little thing in your arms is overwhelming but it's the best feeling in the world." Hannah replied with a soft smile.
Grace had a small smile of her own as she listened to her friend.
~~~ Baby Talk Part 2 ~~~
"So that crazy bitch is going to go to prison right?" Sofia asked still a little horrified by what the blonde had told her.
Becky just shrugged
"Ok I take it back…going through her stuff was probably one of your best ideas ever" Sofia stated
"I know…god it just makes my skin crawl that…I mean that's so messed up." Becky cringed
"I'll say…have you watched the tape yet?" Sofia hesitantly asked
"No…though I'm not sure if I want to anymore." Becky sighed
She had been thinking about it ever since the police left her house. She wasn't sure if the tape would give anything away about whether or not Valerie actually did assault her or whether or not Becky was an active participant. She thought that if it was the former then the police would have mentioned it to her. She just wanted to know for sure but she was coming to the realisation that she probably would never know unless Valerie confessed.
"Anyway enough about my soap opera life how are you doing?" Becky asked
"I'm fine" Sofia shrugged
"Really? Because last time I saw you, you were ready to pass out or get alcohol poisoning"
"Alright fine…I'm still…I'm dealing with it…I don't know…I'm just pissed at the situation" Sofia replied
"I get that" Becky nodded
"I've been doing some thinking and…I got these pamphlets about adoption this afternoon" Sofia replied as she passed the blonde the few booklets
"So you and Gracie are going to adopt?" Becky asked as she flipped through them
"I don't know…I haven't really talked to Gracie about it yet" Sofia admitted
"Why the hell not? She is your wife you know" Becky snapped
"I know ok! I just…I don't want to pressure her or make her feel guilty…I was a real bitch to her when I told her I couldn't get pregnant." Sofia sighed
"Well I think you two should just sit down and talk about all of this…about what you're feeling and what your options are now." Becky stated
"You've been spending way too much time at therapy" Sofia narrowed her eyes at her friend
"Oh shut up and just listen to me. I know my shit" Becky rolled her eyes
"Fine…I know at some point me and Gracie will need to talk about this…it's just…hard"
"Well then there is only one thing I can say to you" Becky told her
"What?"
"Go to the hardware store, by some wood, build a bridge…and get the fuck over it." Becky replied
"You're a real bitch sometimes" Sofia glared at the blonde
"I know…but you love me anyways" Becky smirked while Sofia just rolled her eyes.
~~~ Life Plans ~~~
Toby got home from work that day holding a sleepy Ally in his arms. She had a big day at day-care and was plumb-tuckered out she would definitely sleep well that night. Maya was sitting in the small living room going over some paper work or something Toby wasn't sure. He placed his tired daughter down onto the couch and she immediately snuggled up to the big fluffy pillow and fell asleep. Maya smiled lovingly at the little girl and gently brushed away a few stray strands of her golden hair.
Toby gave Maya a quick kiss before he went to get changed out of his work clothes. He quickly came back and sat down next to his two favourite ladies. Maya leant over and gave him a proper kiss which he happily returned.
"How was your day?" He asked
"Good…great actually. I got a job volunteering at the Women's Shelter and I headed over to the community college to get some info about some courses I'm thinking about taking…I want to maybe become a crisis councillor" Maya explained with enthusiasm.
"Wow awesome congratulations" Toby smiled
"Thanks…you know maybe you should go to the college and have a look at some courses…broaden your horizons." She suggested
"I don't know…me and school? I was glad to get out of there as soon as I could" Toby replied
"I know I remember…but I also remember you once upon a time thinking about joining the police force or being a fire-fighter what happened to that?" Maya asked
"Ally" Toby simply replied
Maya looked a little confused
"She came into my life and I had to take care of her first. She's my top priority I couldn't go and do something that would put me in danger or kept me away from her." He explained
Maya nodded in understanding.
"But what about now?" She then asked
"What do you mean?"
"Well…She'll be going to kindergarten soon so you would have more time to yourself and I'm here and you know how much I love spending time with her. You can't give up everything in your life. You need to do some stuff for yourself as well as for your child." Maya reasoned.
"I don't know…I mean back then I figured I'd be a cop but now? I'm not sure if it's right for me"
"Oh come on you would make a great cop. You're strong, smart, brave and you have this annoying yet adorable and noble need to protect those around you" Maya teased.
"I'd look awesome in a uniform" Toby added with a grin
"Yes that would also be a major plus" Maya chuckled
"I'll think about it ok?" He replied
Maya nodded and gave him a small smile.
~~~ Old Friends ~~~
The old gang sat around the table in Mercedes' back yard glass of wine each (Quinn had juice) as they all caught up. It had been a long while since all six had been together like this just relaxing and having a laugh. They used to do it all the time in college but as life happened and got in the way it was harder to all get together at the same time.
It definitely put Rachel in a better mood the last few weeks had been hard on the small brunette and time with her friends was a great distraction also the fact that she and Toby were good again she was starting to feel better much to Quinn's delight. The blonde hated seeing her wife so sad. She knew losing her father would take a huge toll on Rachel emotionally and so Quinn just did as much as she could to try and support her. The news of the reappearance of Frankie didn't help in the least but like everything else they would get through this and come out stronger than before.
Mercedes was currently telling her friends about how Lilly finally came out to her though it wasn't a surprise at all and they all said 'I told you so'.
"She was all nervous when she finally told me. She cried, I cried but she's happy so that's all that matters" Mercedes chuckled
"Aww...Lil is so adorable." Brittany cooed.
"We totally called it though" Santana stated
Quinn nodded with a smug smile and high fived her friend.
"And yet you didn't know Gracie was as queer as a Christmas tree" Tina replied dryly
Quinn and Santana just glared at their friend while the others just laughed.
"Hey Cedes where's Rick I thought he was back from that last job? I half expected to see him here finishing off the pool area he was so obsessed about having" Rachel asked changing the topic
They all noticed Mercedes' odd expression on her face at the mention of her husband.
"What's wrong?" Tina asked
"Me and Rick kinda...had an argument last night and he's still angry at me so he's staying away for now" Mercedes sighed.
Though it was more of an annoyed sigh than anything.
"What was it about?" Santana asked
"Sanny don't be nosy" Brittany slapped her wife's arm
"First of all ow! Second of all...I wants to know...talk Wheezy" Santana replied.
"It's stupid and he's just over reacting." Mercedes stated
"What was it about?" Quinn asked now wanting to know too.
"I may have let it slip that I may have once or twice faked an orgasm and he totally flips the shit out. Acting like I was the worst person ever" Mercedes rolled her eyes.
Her friends couldn't hold in their laughter at that.
"Aww poor guy. No one wants to hear something like that" Quinn chuckled
"I don't see what the big deal is. I'm not saying I did it all the time just like a few times here and there" She defended herself.
"Hey I'm not judging I've done it too...I just never told Aaron" Tina admitted
"Well thankfully we don't have to worry about anything like that. I'm like awesome in bed so the wife never needs to fake it and I can totally tell when she climaxes" Santana smirked
Brittany looked away with a slightly guilty expression then covered that up by taking a big sip of her wine hoping no one noticed...they all noticed.
"Brittany?" Santana asked in confusion.
"Hmm?" She replied looking innocent.
"Oh god this is gold" Quinn snickered as she sat back and drank her juice watching what was about to unfold.
"Britt?" Santana asked again
The blonde opened and closed her mouth several times trying to save herself but nothing was coming. Santana's confused face quickly turned into one of absolute horror.
"You were faking with me?" She pretty much yelled in shock. Her voice actually went up an octave higher.
Brittany was now in a pickle and her friends were not helping because they were all sitting there with amused looks on their faces.
"Sanny sweetheart-"
"When?" Santana demanded to know.
"Can we please change the subject?" Brittany asked desperately
"No!" Quinn replied
She was finding this far too amusing right now.
"Quinn I wouldn't be too smug right now if I were you" Rachel nudged her wife
"Oh come on this is hilarious" Quinn chuckled
"Honey Brittany isn't the only one" Rachel mumbled
The smile dropped instantly from the blonde's face.
"What?" She asked darkly
Rachel just smirked and took a sip of her wine and focused back on the Brittany and Santana show.
The Latina was now crying and Brittany was trying to console her wife.
"Sanny it was only a few times and it was only because I was tired" Brittany muttered over and over again.
"You're still my sexy tiger in the sheets" She then added
Tina and Mercedes were beside themselves laughing their asses off. Quinn just looked at her wife in shock and confusion and wanting to know exactly what she meant by that last comment.
After that rather unfortunate conversation Santana wanted to go home and crawl into a hole and die. So Brittany decided to take her home...the brunette was now giving her wife the silent treatment and refused to even touch her. When they did arrive home Santana stormed into the study and locked herself in having a big old sulk fest. Brittany just rolled her eyes at her wife's behaviour and went to get dinner started.
Once they had left Mercedes' house Quinn and Rachel soon went home too. They all agreed to try and catch up more because they missed spending time together. Like maybe they could have a movie night or dinner night.
On the drive back home Rachel was starting to get creeped out by Quinn's constant staring. She couldn't take it anymore and pulled over.
"What?" Rachel asked
"Did you ever fake an orgasm while we were having sex?" Quinn asked or more like demanded to know.
Rachel just sighed and shook her head. She knew she shouldn't have said anything.
"Rachel tell me." Quinn whined.
"What does it matter?" Rachel asked
"Oh my god you did fake it" Quinn cried in horror.
Rachel sighed once again trying to think if how to get out of this situation.
"Quinn...honey it's not the end of the world"
"Oh no...it's, it's just my wife of over thirty years just admitting that she fakes her orgasms while we make love...no that's not at all traumatic!" Quinn cried.
"I didn't fake them all"
"So you admit it. You faked them!" Quinn replied
"Quinn...you're over reacting. Ok yes I admit there were a few times only a few, that I may have...pretended to climax while we were having sex" Rachel told her gently
"Why?" Quinn cried...no literally she was crying real tears now.
"Am I that bad at it?" She then asked sadly
"No! No, no, no sweetie that's not it at all" Rachel quickly replied
She kinda felt bad now. Rachel reached over the car to gently wipe Quinn's tears away she was kinda hurt when her wife pulled away from her.
"It was only a handful of times and I always felt guilty for doing it. But I only did it because I was tired or I had other things on my mind." Rachel replied
"How many times?" Quinn quietly asked with a sad sniffle.
"I don't know, not very many" Rachel replied
"When?" Quinn then asked
"Sweetie-"
"I want to know when" Quinn interrupted her.
"I don't remember." Rachel replied honestly.
"Can we just go home now?" Quinn huffed and turned to face away from her wife.
Rachel sighed sadly as she turned the car back on and pulled out onto the road.
"I'm sorry Quinn" Rachel quietly muttered.
Santana refused to come out of the study even though dinner was ready. Brittany was getting tired of calling her so she sent their son to drag her out. Ben wasn't too keen on having to do that. His Ma was a kicker and she has been known to bite when need be. But Brittany was no fool. She knew her wife couldn't get mad at their son and she knew Santana hated being mean to him and so by sending Ben to get her...there would be a 99% chance she will do as he says.
Ten minutes later...Brittany smiled triumphantly to herself as her grumpy Latina slumped down in her chair at the kitchen table and grudgingly stuffed her fork into her mouth.
It was pretty tense when it came to bedtime that night in both the Pierce and Fabray households. It was a Saturday which usually meant that Quinn got to have sex with her wife because it was the weekend and it was tradition but right now Quinn didn't feel like doing it. Santana wasn't in the mood either which was evident by the fact that she was pretty much on the edge of the bed staying well away from her wife leaving a big gap between the pair.
"Sanny...I've told you I was sorry. Please stop being mad at me" Brittany quietly murmured
Santana rolled over to face her wife with a bright smile.
"Ok sure I forgive you." She replied sweetly
"You really mean that?" Brittany smiled hopefully
Santana's smile dropped.
"No, I was faking it" She snapped before she turned over with her back facing the blonde.
Brittany just rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned around with her own back facing her wife.
Rachel hesitantly got into bed next to her wife who was sitting up reading. They hadn't said much once they got home. Quinn claimed she had some work to do Rachel knew it was a lie but decided to give her wife some space.
"Sweetie...it's Saturday" Rachel reminded her softly
Quinn just grunted and turned the page in her book.
"Quinn I told you I was sorry. I am...Please can we just move on from this now?" Rachel asked
"Rachel how would you like it if I told you that I faked an orgasm with you?" Quinn asked
"Honey I think it's like physically impossible for you to fake it. I mean you spontaneously climax from seeing a hot naked woman so..." Rachel chuckled then noticed her wife glaring at her so she quickly stopped.
"Look Quinn I know this has put a bit of a damper on your ego or whatever but we have had a lot of sex...we have a very active and healthy sex-life...a small tiny handful was faked in the grand scheme of things that's nothing compared to the amazing orgasms you have given me over the years." Rachel replied
"It's more than just my ego Rach...you telling me that you faked an orgasm it...it's like...like you didn't enjoy it that you didn't enjoy being with me in that way...that I wasn't good enough for you." Quinn sadly spoke.
"That's not it at all. I want you Quinn I've always wanted you and you are more than enough for me. You're an amazingly sweet sometimes goofy woman who is the love of my life. Just because I didn't climax doesn't mean that I love you any less or don't find you attractive it just means that I was tired and I didn't want to disappoint you." Rachel told her
Quinn still didn't look happy. So Rachel took another approach.
"You know I never told you this before but back in high school when I used to watch your Cheerios practices up in the bleachers. I never took my eyes off of you. You were so gorgeous and sexy in that uniform and watching you do all those Cheerleading moves in that short skirt...I can't tell you the amount of times I got wet watching you." Rachel told her.
She dropped her voice to that husky tone that always drove Quinn crazy as she inched her way closer to her wife. If all else fails dirty talk was the deal breaker.
"Or even just thinking about you. Your strong toned thighs were a thing of beauty. I just couldn't stop thinking about your legs wrapped around my head as I went down on you...completely devouring you." Rachel purred as she came even closer.
Quinn was beginning to squirm in her spot as she tried to resist. But Quinn had very limited self-discipline.
"You don't know how many times I fantasized about you shoving me up against your Cheerio locker and completely fucking my brains out." Rachel added with a small smirk.
Throwing in a few F-Bombs always worked in Rachel's favour. Quinn gulped a little and absentmindedly placed her forgotten book onto the night stand next to their bed as her eyes focused solely on Rachel's lips that were so invitingly close to her own.
"I just love having you inside me...making me wet, making me quiver...making me forget everything else besides your fingers fucking me so hard I see stars." Rachel continued as her hand slowly inched its way up her wife's stomach taking her top with her.
She could feel her wife's stomach muscles tremble as she ran her fingertips over the heated skin that she found there. But instead of heading north Rachel made a quick turn and headed south. She slipped her hand under her wife's shorts in straight into her underwear where she found what she was looking for.
"God you're so fucking wet" Rachel groaned into Quinn's ear.
That was it. Quinn's last resolve was gone and in one swift movement she pulled her wife on top of her kissing her deeply and frantically. Rachel smiled into the kiss knowing her plan had worked. She began to circle Quinn's clit in fast and deliberate circles. Making her push her hips up wanting more and letting out an appreciative moan.
But Quinn quickly flipped them over making Rachel squeal at the surprise move. She looked up into her wife's eyes and saw nothing but raw desire and determination. Rachel couldn't help the arousal that shot straight through her body down to her core at the sight. She knew she was definitely going to enjoy tonight. Quinn didn't bother with being careful she pretty much ripped her wife's top off of her body and yanked her pants off as well. Quinn grabbed both of Rachel's hands and pulled them up over her head and holding her there. Tonight Quinn was in total control and Rachel was more than happy to submit.
Quinn held her wife's arms up with one hand while the other roughly pawed at Rachel's breasts as Quinn kissed, licked and bit her way down the brunette's neck making sure she marked her as she went. It had been a long time since they had hot rough sex for the last month or so it had just been sweet comfort sex but not tonight. Quinn only let go of her wife when she sat up to remove her own clothes then she went straight back to ravishing Rachel's body. Quinn actually ended up tearing Rachel's panties that night in her hurry to remove her wife of all clothing but Quinn didn't really care and honestly neither did Rachel.
Quinn's lips had finally reached her wife's boobs and was relentlessly teasing the brunette making her squirm beneath her Quinn was waiting for it.
"Please Quinn just fuck me." Rachel finally begged
With a satisfied smirk Quinn finally let Rachel get some satisfaction. She quickly moved her hand down to Rachel's hot centre where she ran her fingers through her slick folds making Rachel cry out but before she could get used to it Quinn roughly thrust two fingers deep inside her wife and started pumping in and out harder and faster with each stroke. Quinn could already feel her wife's walls clenching around her fingers but she wanted to make sure. She wanted her wife to feel it…she wanted Rachel to not have to fake this orgasm. So she quickly added a third finger stretching her wife and upped her pace.
Rachel couldn't stop herself she was just so turned on right now that she didn't care about how loud she was all she cared about was Quinn's fingers deep inside her making her feel so fucking good. Rachel was close she knew it and so did Quinn. So on the next stroke Quinn added a fourth finger stretching her wife even further. Rachel let out a loud scream of both pleasure and pain. She had never taken four before because she was pretty tight even though she had given birth. Quinn just kept going and brought her thumb up to her wife's clit to help.
With an incredible scream of pleasure Rachel finally went over the edge and came crashing down with Quinn guiding her. The blonde herself never felt more accomplished than she did right now she didn't even bother to stop the smug grin that appeared on her face as she knew without a doubt that, that orgasm was not faked. She could feel it go through her wife's body as she quivered beneath her.
Quinn rolled off of Rachel panting heavily and wiping the sweat from her brow. She looked over at her wife who had a lazy grin on her face as she tried to breathe again.
"Did you fake it?" Quinn asked just to be sure.
Rachel lolled her head to the side to look at her wife.
"Honey no one on earth could fake that…you are incredible" She replied with a bright smile.
"Good…that's what I like to hear" Quinn nodded
Rachel chuckled before she rolled on top of her wife settling in between the blonde's legs.
"Ready?" The brunette asked with a well place thrust of her hips
"I was born ready" Quinn grinned
Rachel just smirked.
Meanwhile down the hallway poor Charlotte Berry-Fabray lay in her bed absolutely traumatized as she frantically upped the volume of her iPod.
~~~ Not Really A Workplace Conversation ~~~
Emily knew straight away that her boss was in a mood the moment she got off the elevator and saw the scowl of her beautiful face. She had been witness to Mrs. Lopez-Pierce's temper on a few occasions but something told her that this was worse than those few times. She hesitantly followed her boss into her office to get started on the day's workload. They had finally built up their case and were in the last stages of preparing to go to court. Santana and two others were going to be the ones who actually going to work for the prosecution while everyone else would be working behind the scenes.
They worked in relative silence for the most part of that morning Emily didn't want to disturb her in case she got mad and yelled at her so she just kept herself busy and didn't bother the older woman. It was during their morning break that Mrs. Lopez-Pierce actually spoke to her.
"Have you ever faked an orgasm?" Santana asked her assistant
Emily looked rather shocked by that question
"Um…err…I…"
"Sorry that was totally not appropriate to ask….but have you?" Santana asked again
"W-Well…um…n-no" Emily replied still a little stunned
"Right because it's totally rude and insulting" Santana nodded
"Um…I guess…" Emily shrugged
"Thank you!" Santana huffed
After that there was a weird and awkward silence between the two
"I mean it's not like I'm a bad lay ok I fucking know my shit and even if I'm tired I still manage to get off and not fake it just to end the whole fucking thing" Santana ranted
"Um" Emily was still kinda shocked by the topic of conversation right now she and her boss had become good friends due to working close together…well Emily liked to think they had but it was still a little shocking to be talking about this at least at work. She also couldn't help but blush at the images that popped into her head while her boss ranted she didn't mean too but she couldn't stop her brain.
"Ugh! Women! Life would be so much easier if I was straight and I didn't have to put up with their sneaky ways." Santana grumbled
"Yeah but then you'd have to have sex with men" Emily finally found her voice
Santana pulled a grossed out face
"True…ugh I never want to do that again" The brunette shivered in horror
"You slept with guys?" Emily asked a little surprised
"Yeah back in the whole 'I'm not gay' days of my youth" Santana chuckled
The Latina couldn't help but notice the grossed out look on her assistant's face which confused her.
"What's with the face?" She asked bluntly
"Nothing…its just…guys are gross I could never imagine hooking up with one even if I was trying to pretend to be straight" Emily replied with a shrug
"Wait…you're not straight?" Santana asked in shock, maybe Brittany was right how could she have such bad gaydar?
Emily shook her head with a look as if to say are you kidding?
"I thought you knew that" She replied
"No…god this just makes things awkward" Santana huffed
"Why?" Emily asked looking a little hurt
"Because I totally told Trevor from downstairs that your single and he's probably going to ask you out any day now" Santana replied
"Why would you do that?" Emily asked in confusion
Santana looked down in slight embarrassment
"I just…Brittany was jealous and I kinda wanted to prove to her that she was wrong and now that totally backfired in my face." She replied
"Oh"
"Yeah….so does this mean you actually do have a crush on me?" Santana asked bluntly
Way to totally put the girl on the spot.
Emily's eyes went wide and her whole face turned a pretty pink and Santana got her answer.
"Yep…definitely awkward" Santana muttered to herself.
~~~ Big Decisions ~~~
Grace came home from work that afternoon to find Sofia sitting on the couch reading one of her text books, though it didn't look like she was actually reading she was just sitting there with a far off look on her face. Grace walked over to her wife and sat down next to her taking the book out of her hands and placing it on the table.
"I was reading that"
"And now you're not." Grace replied
Sofia just sighed and began to fiddle with the hem on Grace's shorts.
"How was work?" She quietly asked not really sounding interested.
"Fine...the seasons over for the year so we were just doing a few drills and keeping up their fitness levels for next season." Grace replied
Sofia just nodded and continued to just focus on her hands not really listening.
"And then I cut off my big toe for shits and giggles" Grace added
Once again Sofia just nodded
"Oh and also I've decided that I'm going to marry Bob Dole and raise Penguins in Guam!"
"Ok have fun" Sofia mumbled
Grace just rolled her eyes and placed her hand under Sofia's chin to gently raise her head up so she was looking at her.
"Sofia...are you even listening?" She asked
"Yes...maybe...no, not really" She admitted feeling guilty.
Grace just nodded
"Sofia I wanted to talk to you about something" Grace spoke with a sense of seriousness
Sofia nodded, Grace had been thinking about this constantly and she wanted to do this right so she took a deep breath and just blurted it out
"I'll do it"
Sofia looked at her wife in confusion.
"Do what?" She asked
Taking another deep breath Grace looked into her wife's eyes.
"I'll do it" She repeated.
It took a few seconds but then it finally clicked. Sofia sat there in complete shock and almost didn't believe that this wasn't a dream.
"Gracie...a-are you saying what I think you're saying?" Sofia asked cautiously trying to not get her hopes up
"If you're thinking that I'm agreeing to being your baby mama then yes that is what I am saying" Grace told her calmly
The shock was evident on the Latina's face as well as disbelief
"I don't want to make you do this or guilt you into this" Sofia told her
"Sofia I know you like to think you can get me to do stuff but if I didn't want to do this or thought that I can't do this then you wouldn't be able to convince me otherwise. I know I told you I couldn't before but I think that was just a knee-jerk reaction. I've thought about it a lot…I even made some lists and I talked to Beth and Hannah about babies and everything and I came to the conclusion that I'm doing this...not for you...but for us." Grace told her.
Sofia was starting to tear up.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I realised that it's only nine months...and for the first couple of months you barely even know that you're pregnant. Besides my rehab lasted longer and I could get through that...If I could deal with my knee completely tearing and being ripped to shreds I'm sure I can handle child birth. I want a baby that's ours…I want to use your eggs and my oven…and you know how much I like baking…I can do this." Grace added
Sofia didn't know what to do so she just cried...yet again. Grace pulled her wife into a hug and kissed her temple several times.
"I'm really gonna need you through this though Sofia" Grace told her gently as she held on tightly to her wife
Sofia just nodded
"I'll be there for everything I promise. Gracie I'll do anything you want or need." She replied quickly
"There are times when I'm gonna freak out and I might run" Grace warned her
"Then I'll just run after you" Sofia replied
Grace just nodded
"Thank you Gracie, thank you so much" Sofia softly whispered as she kissed her wife over and over again.
"I love you Sofia"
"I love you more...god I...Gracie you have no idea how much I love you." Sofia cried
"Not even half as much as I love you" Grace simply replied before she pulled her wife in for a kiss.
