A/N- so guys just a short note clearly the last chapter upset a lot of people I'm sorry you all feel that way it was not wrote to make Quinn out to be a horrible mother, it is after all just fiction and does say contains spanking but for those of you who were offended I apologise and again to the rest of you who have continued to support and follow me I really appreciate it
Two weeks have gone by and everybody in the Lopez household is happy, no one is grounded, no one has been punished for anything in over a week. Santana keeps telling Quinn it's the calm before the storm who just shakes her head in amusement. Today Santana is waiting for Holly to arrive home from school so they can go and have their bonding night, after all the trouble at school Mr Matthews left so it has been a lot better for her. Santana shakes her head when she hears Holly pull into the drive, music so loud, half the neighbourhood can hear, she walks into the kitchen," oh hey Ma."
"Hey baby, music loud enough" she chuckles.
"Well actually I was going to ask if I could get some new speakers fitted" she says smiling.
Santana laughs, "no chance, anyway go put your bag away and we can get going."
"Please tell me we are going to eat some junk for tea, because I need it in my life."
Santana shakes her head, "don't be so dramatic, but yea I was thinking the new pizza place and some shopping?"
"Yes I love that idea, I will be two minutes," she tells her running off upstairs.
After ten minutes Santana shouts up to her daughter, "come on kid I want to enjoy the rest of the evening."
Holly skips down the stairs "sorry Ma I'm ready now, so food or shopping first?"
"Shopping."
They arrive at the mall and begin looking around, "Ma."
"Yes Holly" Santana says knowing her daughter wants something.
"Can I get some new boots please? Oh and some jeans to wear them with."
Santana laughs, "yea why not, but we are not spending loads."
They continue to look around and walk into a lingerie shop Santana picks up a red bra and knickers set."Ma you can't be serious you're buying sexy underwear with your daughter" she says smirking.
"Shut it you."
Holly laughs harder and watches Santana pick up another bra, "Ma you can't get that I wear them, and we are not having matching bras, I think you need to go to that section" she says pointing to the older lady bit.
Santana slaps her arm making Holly laugh again, "stop it you cheeky shit."
"Oh Ma now what would Mom say if she heard that language, you would need more than that underwear to make it up to her."
Santana glares at her daughter, "you know I'm going to beat you soon right."
Holly shakes her head and smiles, "Ma can I ask you a serious question?" Santana nods. "Would you allow me to spend the weekend away with just Phoebe?"
Santana laughs and Holly's face drops, "are you serious? You honestly think I'm going to let my sixteen year old daughter spend a weekend away to have sex in a sleezy motel."
"It's not sleezy" she answers looking shocked when she sees Santana's face, "I mean we won't."
"Um really, look Holly you know your Mom and I hate the fact you are having sex, so we are not going to give you a weekend pass just to do that."
Holly sighs "Ma you said yourself you and Mom was having sex at fifteen, you guys were lucky enough to have a house to do it in."
Santana looks shocked she can't believe this conversation, "Holly we wasn't lucky enough to have a house and I get that you think its unfair but we still don't want you doing it and trust me, we know you are and we can't stop that but I'm not giving you a weekend pass to do it in."
"Ok fine for now I guess" she says with a smile.
"Thank you, now how about we go get that pizza because all this talk has made me hungry."
"Yeah I always get hungry after…um after talking yea you know um…"
Santana laughs, "stop there before you dig a bigger hole, lets go I'm going to get everything on mine."
"Not too much garlic Ma, you know what Mom is like."
"True, now where would I be without you hey."
Holly smiles, "sleeping on the sofa."
Both laugh and head for pizza place before heading home. They walk into the living room to find Quinn and Maya reading a book. "Hey guys we are home."
Maya looks up and smiles, "hey Mama, guess what I got today?"
"What baby?"
"A certificate and a prize for my handwriting, I won a competition."
Santana smiles, "aww well done I'm so proud."
"Thank you, Mommy said because we are spending Sunday as a family I can choose where we go."
"Please not the zoo again midget" Holly says.
Maya smirks at her sister, "no actually, I want to go to central park for a picnic and stuff."
Holly nods, "that actually sounds cool, so anyway guys can I go up on my computer please?"
Quinn nods she loves the fact even when she isn't grounded she always asks permission, "yes sweetie but please don't spend hours on there"
"I won't I will be back down at ten because prison break is on." Holly and Quinn have really got into it and never miss an episode.
"Oh yea forgot about that, I'll call you if you're not down" Quinn says smiling.
"Cool thanks Mom, laters" she shouts before heading up to her room.

Two days later and it's Maya and Quinn's bonding evening, Quinn picks her up from school and can see how excited she is. "Hey baby girl."
"Mommy, is it just us tonight?"
"Yes sweetie, so any ideas where you would like to go and what you fancy doing?"
Maya thinks while climbing into the car, "Mommy can we go bowling?"
"Yea that's sounds good, so where would you like to eat first?"
Maya thinks again, "can we have Italian please?"
Quinn nods, "sounds good to me." Quinn drives them to the bowling alley, "here babe give the man your shoes."
They head over to their lane, "you know I'm going to kick your butt Mommy" Maya says smiling.
"We shall see, look your name is first off you go." Maya picks up a ball and throws it down knocking over five pins. " Way to go sweetie."
"Thank you, I have another go don't I?"
Quinn nods and watches Maya knock two more down. "Right then let the master have a go" she says laughing. Quinn picks up the ball throws it down the lane and misses all the pins.
Maya laughs, "oh dear Mommy not really the master are you?"
"Shush you, we have only just begun" she says smirking at her daughter when she continues to laugh.
They finish bowling, Maya had beaten her Mom and is extremely happy "I beat you like a drum."
Quinn turns to her daughter and laughs, "where did you hear that?"
"Holly, she says it to me when we are messing around."
Quinn smiles, "there is a surprise, right then little lady, dinner?" Maya nods and they head off to the restaurant they find a nice one and head in and sit down. "What would you like baby?"
"Can I have the pasta with pepperoni and sauce please and maybe a coke?" She asks smiling sweetly.
Quinn rolls her eyes, "you get that from your Mama you know that right?" Maya nods, "fine you can have it but only one and a little one."
"Awesome thank you, so what we going to talk about today?"
Quinn laughs, "what would you like to talk about?"
"Um is Holly really going to be leaving to go to college?"
Quinn looks at her daughters sad face and smiles, "aww baby you going to miss her? Listen Holly won't be going for two years sweetie and by then you will be ten nearly eleven and properly be glad to get rid of her" she says with a small chuckle.
"I won't Mommy, all my friends are jealous because I tell them everything Holly does with me and they don't get to do anything with their brothers and sisters but Holly is not mean to me at all well unless I walk in on her and Phoebe" she says with a cheeky smile making her Mom laugh again.
"Yea you are lucky baby she is very good with you and Lilly."
Maya thinks for a minute, "do you think its because she is adopted and if she is mean you will send her back?"
Quinn looks shocked, "no I don't think that's the reason what makes you ask that baby?"
"Because one of my friends' mom and dad fostered, whatever that means, a child and she was mean and always in trouble so they sent her away, but Holly gets in trouble and you haven't sent her away, which is great but my friend said that is the only reason she is nice."
"No baby its not, you know Holly, she is nice because that is just her, when you adopt a child you can't just give them back. Mama and I are her Mommy and Mama and she is with us forever, she is nice to you because she loves you."
Maya nods, "she always says she loves me and she always lets me do things you and Mama don't."
Quinn raises an eyebrow, "oh really like what?"
"I can't tell you that, its mine and Holly's secret"
"Well as long as its legal and we don't catch you its all good."
They finish their meal and head home as they walk in Quinn sighs she can hear Santana shouting assuming it is at Holly. She walks in with Maya and sees them sat on the sofa yelling at each other. "Hey knock it off what is with all the yelling?"
They both turn round surprised and laugh "YOUR daughter thinks the Beatles are better than the Stones and she is wrong."
"How am I wrong Ma? A hard day's night, eight days a week, every little thing, help and penny lane, need I go on."
Quinn smiles, "by any chance have you had my iPod?"
"Yea maybe bit I'm right Mom and you know it."
"Sorry babe but you know I'm with Hols on this."
Santana laughs, "whatever you both suck" she motions to Maya, "come here baby come and side with your Mama."
"Maya do you really want to do that? Sisters first."
Maya smiles, "she does have a point Mama."
"Baby girl come on, I'll buy you a car when you turn sixteen."
Holly smiles at Quinn, "so will I baby whatever one you want."
"Ah don't make me choose between you two" she whines.
"Don't then Maya come side with your favourite sister who is babysitting you tomorrow night and you know what that means" Holly says.
Maya runs over to Holly "sorry guys but Holly wins."
"Oh yea and what does Holly babysitting mean?" Santana asks.
"Babe she won't tell us I have tried."
Holly smiles at Maya, "good girl sis."
The rest of the evening they spend as a family before the kids head off to bed. Quinn cuddles up next to Santana telling her what Maya said about the reason Holly was nice. "Babe you don't think Holly thinks like that do you? That she has to be nice so we won't send her back."
"No babe you have seen those two, I know its not often but Holly can be snappy and short with Maya like any normal sibling. I just think she really is a good kid and she really loves her sisters, plus we don't make her do things like a lot of other parents, she only babysits once a month and even then if she has plans we don't make her change them."
Santana nods, "that's true, so on a different note would you like to know what are darling baby girl did today with Charlotte?"
"Oh God what?"
Santana laughs, "well apparently she doesn't like the word no, Charlotte told her it twice and she had a tantrum screaming lying down on the floor and crying."
Quinn sighs, "oh God, babe she is seven months what the hell."
"I know right, but Maya was about that age when we would tell her no remember."
Quinn nods and smiles, "yea I remember it was me that was usually saying it, well wait till she is walking and talking we are going to have our hands full again."
"That we are babe, right fancy an early night I need to stick my head in on Holly. I went in last night and turned her TV off again nearly every night now for a week sometimes she does it before she falls asleep but lately she hasn't been."
"Yea come on, if she keeps doing it babe we will have to say something."
"I know I did mention it a few weeks ago but think it has fallen on deaf ears" she says getting up pulling her wife to her feet.
Quinn stands and leans into her wife, "you do realise we are going to have to go through all this two more times right?"
"Nope only you I'm busy when Maya turns into a teenager I have lots of meetings" she laughs.
Quinn laughs as they head up to bed.
