The following morning Holly enters the kitchen to see Quinn making breakfast she walks over to her and hugs her. "Aww morning baby, how you are feeling?"
"My butt aches still" she says squeezing her arms round Quinn.
Quinn wonders why she is being so clingy this morning but she remembers that was the first real spanking she has received "Oh dear babes but you know why Ma spanked you right, you understand the reasons?" Quinn asks wondering if she is confused due to her past.
Holly nods "Yea Mom I do and I know what you're thinking and it was nothing like my other Mom used to do, I just hate that I pushed Mama into doing it."
"Holly babes don't feel bad now ok it's over and done with and forgotten, Mama won't even bring it up again I promise you, once you have been punished it's over ok?" Quinn reassures her and Holly just holds on tighter.
Santana enters the kitchen with Maya "Morning guys, I just went to wake you up Hols and you were already up I was shocked" she says with a small chuckle.
"Yea I feel asleep early and just woke up early sorry" she says quietly.
"Hey don't apologise babes I don't mind not having to fight with you to get you up" she says walking over and messing with her hair, she kisses Quinn on the cheek and gives and her a look, Quinn shrugs and mouths 'Tell you later.'
Holly lets go of Quinn and walks towards the table but Santana stops her and pulls her into a hug "Don't I get a morning hug."
Holly smiles "Yea sorry."
"No problem, so if you want to sit down, Mom and I have something to tell you girls this morning."
Maya bounces up and down "What is it Mama, what is it?"
Santana laughs "Just wait baby and I'll tell you."
When everyone is sat down Quinn hands them all some breakfast "Ok guys Mama and I decided when school breaks up for the summer we are going to take you on a vacation" both look up and smile.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Maya asks.
"I'm coming to that, we have spoken to Britt and Steve and we have all agreed to go to L.A for 10 days" Quinn tells them.
Holly smiles "That's awesome I have never been out of New York, and Phoebe is coming too?"
"She sure is and Alex, and Holly remember when Mom and I told you we had a surprise for you for doing so well in school."
Holly looks at them both a little confused she was in a lot of trouble yesterday because of school "Um but I was in trouble yesterday?"
"Only for a few things Mom and I told you yesterday how proud we are of how you have been doing we have punished you for the stuff, you done wrong and we move on, so the surprise is, mom, myself, Britt and Steve have paid for you and Phoebe to go and see a Lakers game which Steve is going to take you."
Holly's eyes go wide "Are you kidding me I'm actually going to see a live game?"
"Yes babe, you deserve it honestly I know we sound like we keep repeating ourselves but we are two very proud parents" Quinn tells her.
"Thank you so much, does Phoebe know?"
Santana nods "Yea Britt told them last night."
"Cool can I go and get ready I want to get to school and talk to Phoebe all about it."
"Yes you can after breakfast" Quinn tells her chuckling at her pout.
Holly had gotten ready for school quickly and was waiting downstairs she could hear Santana having a battle with Maya about what she was going to wear; Quinn walks in and sits with Holly "So you're excited then?"
"Yea definitely it's going to awesome."
Before Quinn can say anything else she watches Maya come down the stairs rubbing her bottom and crying, she heads straight over to the corner and stays there, Santana followed down and sat next to her wife and eldest. "What's going on babe?"
"I told her she couldn't wear her summer dress so she pushed me, I don't know where this pushing is coming from but I have had enough" Santana says.
Quinn shakes her head "There must be a reason why she keeps doing it, how long does she have to stay there I think we need to ask her."
"Maya come over here please," Santana says firmly, the little five year old sniffles over "Why did I spank your bottom and send you to timeout?"
"Cause I pushed you and you said I'm not allowed to do that" she tells her.
Quinn pulls her closer "Baby why do you keep pushing?"
"Cause daddy left and when Daddies leave I get angry and when I'm angry we like to push" she tells them.
Santana and Quinn look at each other "Baby what do you mean, I don't understand who is we first?"
"Me and Toby Mommy, his daddy left him too and when he gets sad or angry he pushes people and things and it makes him feel better."
Santana still confused "But baby you don't have a Daddy?"
"I know he left right so I'm sad and angry."
Quinn looks to Santana and tries not to laugh "Oh baby he didn't leave you, this is hard to explain but you never had a Daddy sweetie" Quinn glares at Holly who is laughing and she stops "You are special you have two Mommies."
"But I have to have a daddy to be born that's what Toby says."
Holly laughs again and Santana turns to her "Either go in the kitchen or up to your room, you are not helping" she says sternly waiting till Holly leaves, she turns back to her daughter "Baby not everybody needs a Daddy or a Mommy like you know how Uncle Kurt and Uncle James have Jennifer and Jonas they have two Daddies and no Mommy it just means that all you guys are extra special, you have Mommy and I instead."
Holly looks confused "Oh so my Daddy never left me?"
"No baby it has only ever been Mommy and I".
Maya sits down on Quinn's lap and sighs "So does that mean I have been sad and angry for no reason?"
"Yes baby, this is all a lot for you to understand sweetheart because you are still little but when you get older you will understand it more ok?"
"Ok Mommy, so that means I don't have to push anymore?"
Santana tries not to laugh "Mommy and I would love that baby girl."
"That's good because my friends don't like being pushed and I don't like have my bottom spanked because it really hurts" she tells them seriously.
Quinn kisses the top of her head "Good now we have sorted that, let's go get your sister and get you girls to school." Maya runs off to find holly and Quinn turns to Santana "I thought she would be a least ten before we had to have that conversation."
"I know but at least we know why she has been pushing though I feel sorry for Toby guessing his dad has left."
"Yea seems that way, right I can hear those two arguing, it's hard to believe that one is fourteen and the other is five" she says shaking her head "Do you want to do rock paper scissors?" Quinn asks laughing.
Santana shakes her head "No I had to spank one last night and the other this morning you can take this,"
Quinn enters the kitchen "Maya just stop it you're going to get us both in trouble" Holly says.
"No you will get in the most trouble because you are older" she says poking her tongue out at her sister.
Quinn turns round looking at Santana shocked her youngest would say that, she walks further into the kitchen, "Excuse me little lady just because Holly is the oldest, does not mean she gets in more trouble, and if the reason you are arguing is because one of you have got the biscuits then you whoever did will be in the most trouble" she says standing with her hands on her hips.
Holly stands up at looks at her Mom "Um I got them down when Mama sent me in here, I only had one and was putting them back when Maya came in and saw them."
"You know better Holly than to eat junk like that at breakfast so why were you two arguing?"
Holly sighs "Because Maya saw me putting them back and she said I had to give her one or she would tell you but I said I would get in more trouble if I gave her one so I was going to tell you, then she was begging me when you came in."
Quinn turns to her daughter "That baby is called blackmail and we don't do that when you get home from school we are going sit and talk about it so you understand ok?"
"Ok Mommy, sorry Holly."
Santana stands at the door and calls them so they can go; she drops the kids off at school and heads to work.
Holly goes running straight up to Phoebe "Oh my God did your parents tell you what we are doing in the summer."
"Hell yea I am so excited and we are going to see the Lakers, my dad is just as excited."
"Do you think your Mom will let you come back to mine after school so we can start planning?"
Phoebe gets her phone gets her phone out "I'll ask but you will have to text Auntie San or Quinn."
"Oh crap I can't they have my phone because I'm grounded, just come anyway I'll take the shit for it" Holly says smiling.
Phoebe shakes her head "What you grounded for?"
"Because they had a meeting with Mrs Roberts yesterday and she told them about me skipping Spanish, getting a detention and getting sent out of English."
Phoebe laughs "Wow when you get in trouble you go all out, how long you grounded for?"
"Two weeks but I gave them loads of attitude and stuff so Ma liked spanked me as well."
"Knew it wouldn't take long" she laughs "Hurts like hell from San doesn't it?"
Holly nods "Oh yea my ass is still stinging this morning and she only gave me ten or so swats, she said if she had to do it again they would feel like pats."
"Oh God, my Mom threatens that though all the time and she doesn't really get any harder so I wouldn't worry too much, anyway we best go to class before we are late."
After school Phoebe and Holly walk home they walk through the door and Santana is sat at the table helping Maya with a work sheet, she looks up a little surprised to see Phoebe "Um hey girls, Phoebe does your Mom know you are here?"
"Yea I asked her."
Santana sighs and turns to Holly "You know you are grounded that means you don't leave and no one comes over."
"I know but Mama we just wanted to plan some of the holiday, plus we have a project that we are paired on that needs to be done by Friday."
Santana looks her daughter trying to figure it if she is telling the truth "You best be telling me the truth baby, but if that's the case you girls get started on that, only when you have finished can you discuss the holiday" she turns to Phoebe "Are you staying for dinner?"
"If you don't mind Auntie San I'll ring Mom."
"That's fine, go get started on your homework and Holly don't forget to bring your Spanish down here we will go over it after dinner."
Holly sighs "Fine I'll bring it down."
At dinner time Holly and Phoebe come down all five of them sit and talk about L.A. Maya is dead excited about going on holiday with Alex and the older girls can't wait to go to the basketball, Santana and Quinn are happy that both the girls are excited about it.
After dinner Quinn gave Phoebe a lift home she took Maya with her to have half hour play with Alex so Santana could help Holly with her homework, by the time she arrived home Santana was in the kitchen taking deep breaths and Holly was sat in the living room pouting with her arms folded across her chest. "Hey babe everything ok?"
"You know I didn't think it could get worse than trying to help you with Spanish turns out it does, I have had to come in here and breath for five minutes before I strangle her" she says with a chuckle.
Quinn rolls her eyes "Babe it can't be that bad."
"No Quinn it is worse, if she doesn't get it first time she throws a fit, she had chucked her pen across the room four times and her books twice, I'm trying to stay calm but she is really testing me."
Quinn knows when it comes to these things Santana has always been the patient one, she will sit with Maya for hours helping her read and write so she knows Holly must be really pushing it.
"Babe let me go and talk to her."
Santana nods "Fine but warn her she best be ready to get back to it in five minutes."
Quinn heads into the living room after a few minutes she comes back out "Babe she is ready" she says with a smirk.
"I don't want to know what you have said or done do I?"
"Nope just go teach our daughter some Spanish" she says kissing her.
Santana heads of laughing when she gets to the living room and Holly is sat up straight with her books waiting 'God she is good' San thinks to herself she definitely owes her wife one for this.
