The weekend sailed by, both the girls were well behaved which made a nice change normally things don't go to .plan By the time the weekend arrive, Brittany had come over and it was her two that seemed to be in trouble apparently Phoebe is good at giving advice about Holly testing her parents but doesn't seem to do it herself.

Monday morning has rolled round and today Santana and Quinn have an appointment with Holly's teacher after school to see how she is getting on, Holly is a little nervous hoping her teacher doesn't tell them everything.

"Holly, now please I'm waiting to go" Santana shouts up the stairs for the third time.

Holly walks slowly down the stairs "Ok God I'm coming what's the rush?"

Santana raises her eyebrow at her eldest "Watch it, I told you ten minutes ago we needed to leave now get moving" she says sternly.

"Fine sorry, I had to get my books."

"Well I told you last night to get everything ready if you can't be trusted to do it, I will start checking after I have asked you to do something."

Holly huffs "Ok sorry, man why are you so stressed this morning I mean… ow Ma" she squeals when Santana smacks her bottom.

"Unless you want another I would zip it and get in the car" she tells her pointing to the garage.

"Mama, Mom took Maya this morning why are we in such a rush?" she asks climbing into the car.

Santana buckles her belt "I told you yesterday I have an early meeting so I can finish early so I can come to the meeting at school."

"Oh yea I forgot sorry" she says sincerely.

"It's fine let's just go."

The rest of the day seemed to get worse for Holly, she picked up a detention in Maths and then got sent out her class in English, she was not looking forward to her parents arrival. When they finally arrived they met Holly and walked to her class with her. They knocked the door and headed in "Hello you must be Holly's parents."

"Yes I'm Santana and this is my wife Quinn and you must be Mrs Roberts?"

"That is indeed me, ok then where would you like to start?"

Santana looks at Quinn "We would like to know how she is getting on in general really, her grades and things."

"Ok well firstly I for one am so proud how far Holly has come recently, she is now attentive and does the work that has been asked of her, grades have improved a hundred percent. I have here a copy of two tests one she did the beginning of the year and one she did two weeks ago" she hands them over to Quinn "As you can see they are the same but if you look at the results that tells you everything."

One had a big red F on and the new one had a B+, Quinn turns to Holly with a smile "Well done baby" she says passing them to Santana.

"That's amazing sweetie well done."

Holly nods "Thanks"

"So I was kind of glad we arranged this meeting today because I have a few things I need to talk to you about as well" Mrs Roberts tells them.

"Ok, not too bad I hope" Santana half jokes.

Mrs Roberts smiles "Nothing major just a few small things, first one is about her Spanish class, now it is nowhere near as bad as it has been but Holly's attendance in the class is still not where it should be."

Santana and Quinn look to their daughter who sinks lower in her seat "What do you mean? She should be attending every class."

"I thought you might say that, hence why I was going to contact you myself, Holly misses at least one a week never the same one in a row, assuming to avoid a pattern now I understand she has had a few days off in the past few months but still not as many as she has been missing."

Santana glares at her daughter "Why are you not going to your class?"

Holly doesn't say anything but a nudge from Quinn gets her talking "Because I'm rubbish at it, I can't do it and the teacher just has a go at me all the time."

"That doesn't mean you skip classes Holly, if you're struggling you talk to Mama or I you know she is fluent and can help you."

Holly sighs she knew this was going to be good "Ok I'm sorry."

Mrs Roberts continues "Also we are finding in some of her classes she is doing exceptionally well unfortunately she is talking herself into trouble lately."

"Oh God" holly says quietly.

Mrs Roberts continues "This is another thing I wanted to discuss its kind of a positive and negative mixed, I would like to move Holly up into my AP English she is a fantastic writer and has been doing really well unfortunately I can't move her up without your permission that's why I was waiting for today, but because she has been finding it easy Holly has been getting a little bored and started messing around, I had to ask her to leave my English class today for answering back and messing around with another student."

Quinn rubs her head in her hands and turns to her daughter "Do you want to move up?"

"Yes Mom, I do find it too easy" she tells her.

"That doesn't mean you get to mess around and disturb the class for everyone else young lady" Santana says sternly, Holly just closes her eyes hoping the ground will swallow her up.

Mrs Roberts feels a little sorry for her but knows her parents need to know everything "Finally we seem to be having a few issues in her Maths class she has picked up a detention today I believe" she says looking at Holly who nods. "Now Holly works extremely hard in this class but we are concerned it may be a little too hard for her so we wanted to move her down for a while just till she picks up."

Holly interrupts "No don't do that please I'll try harder I'll do anything please."

Santana puts her hand on her knee seeing how upset she is getting "Holly it's only for a little while till you pick it back up."

Mrs Roberts continues "Yes and Holly I believe you will, look we have had all the negatives, lets continue with our positives you have come so far in the last six months you were close to being expelled and you have pulled every one of your grades up from F's to B'S and C's apart from the Maths but that is our fault for having you in a high group. At the moment Holly is getting D- in the higher group but I believe if we move her down she will easily hit C's, now the choice is yours but I do believe she will benefit more from it."

Quinn looks at Holly who is clearly upset "Babe listen you heard what Mrs Roberts said everyone is proud of how well you have done moving down for a short while is not a bad thing, you have done so well in everything else and I'm sure Ma will help you with Spanish and I will help you with your maths, do not take this as a putdown you can't get the best grades in everything sweetheart."

"So you won't be disappointed if I move down?" she asks.

"No baby we would never be disappointed because you are finding something hard, you are moving up in English and apart from Maths and Spanish, you are doing fantastic and we are extremely proud of you" Santana tells her

Holly takes this opportunity "So I'm not in trouble for anything."

Quinn laughs "Nice try we have some things to discuss but it's definitely not all bad is it, so what do you say shall we move down a group?"

Holly nods "Yea I do find it difficult, but I will try hard to get back up."

Mrs Roberts smiles "I don't doubt that Holly you have proved to all the teachers here how hard you can work and I believe you will indeed be back up in a few months."

All four chat for another half hour before leaving Santana and Quinn both proud of how hard she has worked, they know they have a few issues to discuss but overall they are impressed.

They arrive at Brittany's to pick up Maya, Holly goes to head up to Phoebe's room when Santana stops her "Oh no missy stay here please we are just picking Maya up then going we have some things to discuss don't we?"

"Ma come on I'll be two minutes" she whines.

Quinn steps in "No Holly you have been told now grab Maya's bag and we will head to the car."

"This sucks, I only want to say hi."

Quinn steps closer to her "I don't care you have been told no, now lose the attitude and get back to the car."

Holly huffs out the door slamming it on her way Santana turns to Quinn "Babe I swear you need to go and talk to her before I wallop her backside."

Quinn goes out to the car and sees Holly lent against it "You little lady are pushing your luck, I see you slam another door like that and I will tan your behind do you understand me?"

Holly's eyes go wide "Yes Mom I understand."

"Good now get in the car" she says giving her a stinging swat when she turns to climb in.

They arrive back at the house Quinn tells Holly to sit at the kitchen table and start her homework while she starts dinner and Santana puts a film on for Maya, she comes back into the kitchen and sits down opposite her daughter, Quinn comes and joins her. "Firstly Holly we both want to say how proud and happy we are at how well you are doing you are working so hard to bring your grades up and we couldn't be happier."

Holly smiles "Thank you guys are you pleased that I'm moving up in English?"

"We are over the moon babe it is fantastic and you deserve it as well for all the effort you have put in, so well done and after we have discussed the other things we have a surprise for you."

Holly's eyes go wide "Really what is it?"

"We will tell you after because we have some other things to discuss first" Quinn says, Holly knew she was going to get in some trouble.

"Ok first do you have a letter for us?" Santana says holding out her hand, Holly takes the note out and gives it her she reads it then hands it to Quinn "Being rude and disrespectful that is what your detention is for?"

"Yes Ma" she says quietly.

"And is that one of the reasons you got sent out of your English class also?"

"Yes Ma" she adds again.

Santana sighs she needs to get the negatives and punishments out the way before they can tell her about her surprise "And finally skipping classes do you think Mom and I would ever allow that."

"I guess not, no."

Quinn shakes her head "Holly you are a smart girl you must have known we would find out."

"I know I'm sorry I just hate Spanish I'm not good at it."

"Then I will help you, ok punishment" Holly sighs "Don't act surprised you knew this would be coming you are grounded for the rest of this week for the detention, grounded at the weekend for getting sent out in English and then you are grounded all of next week and the weekend for skipping classes, we want your iPad, iPod and phone you won't be having any of them."

Holly slumps down in her chair "That's two weeks and without anything to do I'll be bored."

Quinn tries not to laugh "That is the point of grounding Holly plus you will have plenty to do round the house because I'm going to write you a list of chores every day after your homework has been done."

"What! Come on this isn't fair" she whines.

"It's plenty fair and Holly if we get a phone call or a letter from school saying you have skipped anymore classes you will find yourself with a sore backside to go with a grounding" Santana says sternly.

Holly folds her arms across her chest and backs back against the chair "You will spank me just for skipping a stupid class."

Quinn can see Santana is getting fed up with her attitude and knows it won't be long before she blows "You want to be lucky you are not getting one today little lady, you attitude at Britt's and now is out of line and if you don't knock it off, I will personally take you upstairs and give you one now, we don't care if you think it sucks or it's unfair it's a punishment you're not supposed to like it and yes we will spank you if you continue to skip classes because you do not get to decide not to turn up because it's hard, you go to every class regardless do I make myself clear?"

Holly very rarely sees this side of Quinn and knows she is pushing her luck "Yes I get it."

"Good now take your homework and go finish it in your room, and if you even think of putting your iPad or iPod on you will be sorry" she says holding out her hand, Holly knowing her Mom wants her phone, she hands it over with a sigh and heads up to her room.

Santana shakes her head "I swear Quinn she is pushing her luck I was that close to pulling her out that chair and tan her behind."

"I know babe that's why I stepped in, hopefully she will come down to dinner in a better mood so we can at least tell her about the surprise."

Santana nods "I know I wanted to tell her so bad but her attitude appears and I wanted to throttle her" she says with a small chuckle, and Quinn laughs.

At dinner time Santana called the girls in, Holly sat, pushing the food round her plate still clearly unhappy how things turned out for her, in her head she knows she deserves the punishment but it doesn't mean she has to like it. "Holly please just eat it" Quinn says for the second time, Holly ignores her comment again and keeps pushing it around her plate grumbling.

Maya sits chatting away to Santana about her day not knowing her Mama is getting fed up with her sister. "So Mama Alex said I can play there on Saturday if Auntie Britt says it's ok, that's good do you think?"

"Yea baby it is, but you have to remember to be good and then I think we can arrange a play date" she tells her watching her smile; at least one of her daughters is happy. "Holly if you're not going to eat it then go back up to your room."

Holly looks up and glares at her Mama "What so now I'm not allowed to eat, is that part of my grounding" she sasses.

That was enough for Santana, her attitude all day has been disgusting she stands up and walks round to the side of Holly taking the cutlery out of her hand, she pulls her chair back and lifts her off the chair holding on to her arm. She takes her upstairs not saying a word to her, she takes her into her bedroom and walks over to her chair sitting down she pulls her daughter over her lap, flips up her skirt she puts her fingers in the waistband of her panties and goes to pull them down. "Mama no I'm sorry" Holly cries putting her hands back Santana smacks them away and pulls them down she then gives her daughter ten hard swats to her bare bottom, Holly crying over her Mama's lap.

After two minutes of her crying Santana lifts her up pulls her panties back up and pushes her skirt back down, she turns her to face her "You have been warned about your attitude all day, we are not going to stand for it Holly now if we have to discuss this again those swats will feel like pats do I make myself clear?"

Holly stands there crying trying desperately to rub the sting away from her backside when her Mama spanks, she spanks hard "Yes Mama, I'm sorry."

Santana pulls her into a hug "You need to learn to control your attitude Holly, that's what got you here. we let you off lightly I think for the way you have been behaving at school and I think you know that as well if you don't feel like you can control yourself, asked to be excused and go and calm down but do not sit there and treat Mom and I the way you have been."

Holly nods she knew she was being a brat but just couldn't seem to stop "I know I'm sorry Mama I am."

"I know well you have been punished now, but I don't want to have to do that again ok?"

"Ok Mama, do I have to go to my room now?" She asks still sniffling.

Santana kisses the top of her head "That is up to you baby, are you going to come and eat your dinner?"

Holly nods "Yes Mama."

"Ok then come on lets go back down" she says standing up and leading her daughter back to the kitchen.

Without any prompt Holly goes over to Quinn and hugs her "I'm sorry Mom for my behaviour."

Quinn hugs her back "Thank you, I put your tea in the microwave if you want to get it out" Holly nods, taking it out and eats her dinner quietly.

Both girls were in bed asleep, with Santana and Quinn sat downstairs talking "So we still didn't get to tell her the surprise?"

"Yeah I know we will have to tell her at breakfast because Britt has told Phoebe and she will tell Holly at school" Santana says.

Quinn agrees "So how did it go?"

Santana knew what Quinn was talking about "You know I hate having to discipline our daughters like that, having to listen to them cry but her behaviour today was out of line we needed to stop it, she took it quite well to be fair considering that's is probably the hardest I have spanked her."

"I think she knew San that she was in the wrong and hopefully now when we say stop she will."

Santana laughs "Not if she is anything like we were Quinn."

"True, very true come on lets go to bed" she says pulling her wife to her feet.
