As the summer approached Quinn and Santana were struggling to keep the girls from being so excitable "I knew we should have waited to tell them" Quinn says to Santana.
"Babe come in it's the first real vacation for either of them."
Quinn sighs "I know San but that doesn't mean they don't have to listen to us. I have asked Holly to get dressed three times and asked Maya to brush her teeth twice and as you can hear they are clearly still sat in the living room messing around."
"Ok I'll go and be angry Mama and get them sorted" she says with a chuckle walking over to kiss her wife.
Quinn laughs "Can't wait to see this" over the last few weeks Santana has seemed to lacks a little with the girls barley even raising her voice to them, the more Holly fills them in on her past, the more Santana eases off her, Quinn has told her the way they treat and discipline their kids is far different and Holly understands it, after their massive argument last night she is hoping Santana comes through.
Santana walks into the living room "Girls!" she shouts as they both turn round, she stands with her hands on her hips "What has Mommy asked you both to do?"
Holly shrugs "Don't know?" she says smiling sweetly.
Santana not impressed "Well maybe if I start swatting bottoms you will both remember?"
"No Mama I'm going to brush my teeth now" Maya says jumping off the sofa.
"Chicken" Holly says laughing stopping when Santana walks over and stands in front of her "Um I'll go and get dressed now" she say gulping at her Mama's expression.
Santana looks down at her daughter "I should think so, this is your last day of school before you break up, you really don't want to spend it with a sore butt do you?"
"No Ma, I'll go now" she says standing up slowly walking past Santana hands covering her bottom.
Santana walks over to Quinn when Holly runs for the stairs "I'm impressed babe."
"Thank you I'm sorry I have been leaving you to deal with discipline, I just hate to think that we are just as bad as Holly's real parents."
Quinn sighs "San I'm not going to get into an argument about this again, you know damn well we are not, the girls only get spankings as a last resort when timeouts or groundings isn't enough, we only ever smack their bottoms not anywhere else, yes they have been getting a few more swats recently but that is because they haven't been listening and are being cheeky and rude and I for do not want our daughters behaving that way."
"I know Q I know I just panicked but I'm back now in fact I may go and do some swatting myself as clearly judging by the sounds coming from upstairs they are still not doing as they are told."
Quinn laughs "Go get um babe." Two minutes later Quinn hears two lots of 'Ow and ouch Mama' yep her wife is back.
By the time school had finished, Holly and Phoebe walked back to Phoebe's house after a text from San, they arrived back chatting and laughing "Hey girls, good last day?" Brittany asks.
"Um yea it was fine mom, can we go up to my room?" phoebe says a little sheepishly.
"Sure" when they leave Britt turns to San "Something seem up to you?"
Santana sighs "Yep what's the guessing they have got in some kind of trouble today."
"I would say quite high."
Upstairs Phoebe flops on her bed "Man my Mom is going to kill me."
"Yea I don't think my Moms are going to be thrilled either maybe we should just confess before the school phones."
Phoebe sits up and glares at her best friend "Are you crazy? My Mom will actually kill me; I would love to be able to sit whilst we are on holiday."
"Yea but if the school ring later we will be in more trouble, look Pheebs I promised my parents I would talk to them no matter what."
"Fine come on then, God I'm so dead."
"Stop being dramatic" Holly says though she knows she is also going to be in trouble.
They walk into the kitchen slowly.
Santana looks to Britt then back to the girls "You ok girls?"
"Ma we need to talk to you both."
"Ok take a seat" Santana says she waits a few minutes "Anyone going to start?"
Holly takes a breath "Ok we know we are going to be in trouble but we thought it would be better if we came to you guys first, basically Phoebe and I pulled an end of term prank and kind of got caught."
"What kind of prank and why hasn't the school contacted us?" Santana asks.
"They said they were going to just not sure when and we kind of glued all our teachers stuff to the desk so she couldn't use anything.
Brittany and Santana try not to laugh "Ok go back upstairs, you" Brittany says pointing to Phoebe "need to wait till Dad comes home and we will talk to him, and you missy need to wait for your Mom also."
Phoebe looks shocked "What that's it?"
"For now till we decide how we are going to deal with it now upstairs please" Brittany says firmly, both girls run up to Phoebe's room, Brittany and Santana burst out laughing "Oh my God San how funny."
Santana laughs "I can't believe they did that, Quinn is going to hit the roof though she hates pranks."
"Steve will laugh and most likely high five her, he so soft with the kids, he told Alex off the other day he cried so he took him out for ice cream, I hit the roof."
Santana laughs "I bet well hopefully if you guys are not going to punish Phoebe too badly I can talk Q round."
"Talk me round what?" Quinn says standing in the doorway.
"Mama" Maya says running in "I missed you."
Santana picks her up and kisses her "I missed you too baby, did you have a good day?"
"I did I got a gold sticker today and so did Alex, can we go in the play room?"
"Yes baby and good girl."
Quinn sits at the table glaring at her wife "Talk me round what?"
Santana sighs "Ok babe don't go too mad though Holly and Phoebe just came down and told us they got in trouble at school today."
"Oh God, why the day before we go away? What did they do?"
Santana is trying hard not to laugh, Brittany has turned her head but Quinn can see she is laughing "Babe they pulled a prank on their teacher, they glued all her stuff to the desk so she couldn't use anything."
Quinn bites her lip stopping herself from laughing "Babe you know I hate pranks."
"I know Quinn but come on, only those two could do something like that plus it's funny."
"Yea I guess but San I don't want her thinking she can get away with it."
Brittany nods "That's true I don't want Phoebe thinking she can do it often either."
When Steve comes back they tell him who also finds it funny, they all agree that they need to punish them a little but warn them they won't be so lenient next time. Santana calls both girls down Holly looks straight at Quinn and puts her head down she knows her Mom hates pranks. Brittany walks over to both girls and swats both their bottoms not as hard as they have ever had but enough to leave a little sting, both girls try to rub the sting away when Quinn walks over and gives them both another one "Ow Mom" Holly says "Ouch Auntie Quinn" Phoebe says after.
Santana looks at them both "Now girls we have decided because you came and told us, your punishment is early to bed for both of you tonight plus you have both had a swat from Britt and Quinn."
"Is that it?" Holly asks shocked.
"This time yes, but girls if you decide to pull anymore pranks and get caught you will be in serious trouble do you understand?"
Phoebe nods "So if we don't get caught it's ok?"
"Phoebe don't push it" Brittany says raising an eyebrow at her daughter "No more pranks, we mean it girls you have got off lightly this time you won't a second time do I make myself clear?"
"Yea Aunt Brittany" "Yes Mom" both the girls say.
Santana and Quinn takes the girls home they send Holly up for a shower and Santana goes and runs Maya's want both girls sorted tonight so they can get them up early, Quinn takes Maya upstairs listening to her chat about her plans for the holiday she takes her to Santana and then heads to Holly's room to find her lying on her bed listening to music and playing on her iPad, Quinn walks over and pulls the buds out of her ears. "Hey" Holly says turning over and looking at her unimpressed mom "Oh um I was just going to get in the shower."
"We sent you up half hour ago Holly pack that away and get in the shower."
Holly rolls her eyes and stands up she looks at Quinn who is standing with her hands on her hips giving her daughter 'the look' "Ok I'm going."
Quinn steps forward and gives her a stinging smack to her behind "That is the second time I have smacked your behind today I guarantee the third time will not be just one swat, now do as you are told and get in the shower."
Holly waits hoping her Mom leaves so she doesn't have to walk past her but instead Quinn thinks she is being defiant and goes to grab her arm. "No Mom I'm going I just didn't want another swat" she says covering her bottom.
"Just go now before I lose my patience with you" Holly walks past her Mom thankfully no second swat came. Holly comes down stairs after twenty minutes dressed in her pyjamas she joins her sister and moms on the sofa.
"Don't get too comfy babe you are going to bed early remember."
"Mom its only just gone eight surly I'm not going the same time as Maya" she whines.
Santana looks her daughter's pouting face and chuckles "No but I'm taking Maya to bed in five minutes and you are coming up as well, you can play on your iPad till nine then its bed."
"Mama…"
"Don't even think about it Holly, I'm not arguing that what's happening."
Holly folds her arms across her chest "Fine!"
The following morning everyone was up, Maya was excitable and Holly was grumpy she hates being up early. They get into the car and head to Brittany's, they get out and decide on the plan "Mama can Phoebe and I go together please?"
Santana looks at Brittany who nods "Its fine with me, we can have Maya if you like and you can have the girls" she says with a smirk.
Before Santana has chance to argue, Maya runs over excited "Yea Alex, me and you are with Auntie Brittany."
Quinn laughs as Santana pouts "Great sounds like we have the girls then."
"Great we get the stricter parents" Holly mutters to Phoebe "And my Ma is in a horrible mood."
Phoebes eyes go wide when she sees Santana glaring at her daughter "Only because you little girl have not done a single thing you have been told this morning."
Holly turns back to Phoebe "See."
Quinn catches Santana's arm pulling her back before she can reach her daughter "Babe leave her, I'll talk to her in a minute" Quinn goes and says something to Holly who immediately takes the glare off her face she was giving her Ma, unfolded her arms and got in the car straight away.
Santana walks over to her "Seriously babe how do you keep doing that?"
"I have my ways" she says smirking at her wife heading to the car.
They all get in and head off to the airport, Holly and Phoebe sat in the back chatting and singing away, Quinn having to keep calming Santana down who is getting stressed with the traffic, "I knew I should have drove."
Santana turns and glares at her wife "Like you have much patience when you're driving."
"Ma chill out we will get there eventually" she says chuckling.
"You are already testing me this morning, keep your opinions to yourself" Santana snaps.
Holly rolls her eyes "Jeez ok thought going on vacation was meant to be fun."
"Holly!" Quinn shouts "Enough just sit there and talk to Phoebe or listen to your iPod, any more attitude and I warned you what would happen."
"Fine sorry I'll keep quiet."
After another hour of driving, they arrive at the airport; they unload all the bags and head to check in to wait for Britt, Steve and the kids. They all check in and head for the departure lounge, Phoebe and Holly got some magazines and are sat reading them, Alex and Maya are sat playing on the iPad, all the grownups are sit talking "Steve was getting so stressed on the way here" Brittany tells the others.
"Yea San was also, poor Holly got the brunt of it" she says giving her wife the look.
Santana sighs "Babe she has been a pain all morning, not listening and giving attitude and you know I get stressed driving I don't need her making comments."
"Yea but you are the one who kept telling me to ease off her because this was her first vacation and you are jumping down her throat every five minutes."
"Fine sorry I'll go apologise to her" she says getting up and walking over to the teenagers.
Holly sees her coming and looks up "Ma I haven't done anything I'm just sat here reading."
"I know babe look I'm sorry I have been snapping at you, I just get stressed when we go away, I know it's not your fault and I apologise" she says bending down and hugging her daughter.
Holly smiles "its cool Ma sorry I haven't been listening to you and have given you attitude."
"So we quits then, start the day a fresh?"
"Yea Ma sounds good, does that mean Phoebe and I could have some money and get some sweets for the plane."
Santana laughs her daughter definitely has some cheek "Yes here you go" she says handing over some money "and get your sister and Alex something as well please" Holly nods, taking the money and heads to the shop.
