Arriving to Santana's, Dani uses the light from her phone and the emergency lights to guide her to Santana's apartment. Knocking on the door, it opens to reveal Kurt.
"Come in." Kurt smiles sadly. Stepping in, the apartment has candles lit and lamps, "Jenny, your mom is here."
Perking up, Jenny gets up and runs over still crying. Diving into Dani's arms, Dani hugs her close.
"Mommy." Jenny whimpers.
"I'm right here, honey." Dani strokes Jenny's hair. Ever since she was born, Jenny has been terrified of thunderstorms.
Hearing the next crack of lightning, Jenny jumps as Dani covers her ears from the thunder that follows.
"Would you like to spend the night?" Santana offers.
"That's okay," Dani starts.
"I'm not asking really, you'll sleepover tonight so you don't have to drive in the storm. You two can take my room."
"How about we camp out here in the living room?" Rachel suggests. Agreeing, it's all comes down to Dani and Jenny.
"Please stay." Santana looks at Dani before standing up. Walking over, Santana stands in front of Dani, "Please?"
"Okay." Dani finally gives in. Seeing Santana smile, she locks the door before kissing Dani's cheek. Removing her shoes and coat, Santana uses a lamp and leads Dani into her room. Pulling out a set of pyjamas, Santana leaves for Dani to change.
Lying on Jenny's sleeping bag, Santana covers them with a blanket before crawling into her sleeping bag next to Dani and Michelle next to Jenny.
As the thunder gets louder, Jenny squeaks and hides her face into her mom's shoulder.
"Put on the music." Dani whispers. Putting the headphones into Jenny's ears, Dani turns on her iPod and lets Jenny to pick the song. Feeling Jenny relax, she stays cuddled up to Dani.
"How is she?" Santana whispers looking at Dani in the dark.
"Okay. She can only sleep if I'm singing to her. So we put my music on the iPod." Dani reveals.
"That's really smart." As the thunder and a crack of lightning are heard, Dani winces. She's always hated thunderstorms just like Jenny, "You okay?"
"Yeah, I hate thunderstorms." Hearing Santana move, she feels the Latina take her hand.
"I'm right here. I'll protect you." Unable to stop her smile, Dani laces their fingers together.
"Thank you." Falling asleep holding hands, Dani can't help the butterflies in her stomach.
The next morning, Rachel and Kurt get up to find Dani's and Santana's hands laced together. Taking a picture on their phones, they find the hydro still out. Pulling out cereal, they start to eat as Michelle gets up. Seeing her mom's and Dani's hands, the nine-year-old smiles.
"Are they going to get together?" Michelle whispers.
"They are perfect for each other. But I think they will stay friends for a while longer." Rachel whispers back.
Four weeks later, Dani is dating Quinn Fabray, but not as girlfriends, and Jenny likes her more than Brittany, but she rather have her mom and Santana together. If this is the best they can do for now, she can handle it.
Jenny and Michelle both know that their moms like each other because they are always flirting with each other.
Watching a movie with her mom for movie night, Jenny stares at Dani instead of watching the movie.
"Should I know what is going on through that head of yours?" Dani wonders turning to Jenny.
"I don't mind you with Quinn, but why couldn't you have picked Santana?" Jenny asks.
"Wait, what?"
"You do know Santana likes girls too. It's obvious that you two like each other."
"Jen, you don't sound like an eight-year-old."
"Don't avoid the question."
"Jen, Santana and I are only friends. Yes, I do like her, but she doesn't like me back. If the only way I can have her is as a friend, then I'll keep it that way."
"Can't you just ask her on a date?"
"Why are you pushing so hard on this, honey?"
"Michelle and I want you two together. We know Santana won't hurt you like the other idiots."
"How about Santana makes the first move? Would that work?"
"Okay. I'll tell Michelle and see if she could push Santana."
"You are my little match maker." Dani smiles.
"Proud of it." Jenny grins. Moving toward Dani, Jenny cuddles into her side and the two of them watch the movie.
Three days later, it's Halloween. Taking Jenny trick or treating, the eight-year-old holds Dani's hand tightly. Doing the whole block, and an extra street, Jenny has four bags full of candy. Dani has been thinking of adopting a little boy, but she's a little nervous on how Jenny will react.
Seeing Quinn at the gate of her house, Dani pulls up in her car with a smile.
"Hey, Quinn." Dani greets putting down her window. Seeing Quinn's upset face, Dani looks at her confused, "What's wrong?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were dating my best friend?" Quinn asks.
"Who?"
"Brittany Pierce." Dani's eyes widen in surprise.
"I didn't know you two are friends."
"Really? Brittany says otherwise."
"I promise you, I didn't know. If I knew, I would have told you."
"I don't know who to believe." Quinn whispers.
"Follow your heart. I know how hard it is. It's okay if you don't believe either of us." Watching Quinn look at her with tears, Dani parks the car, before climbing out. Pulling Quinn into a hug, she starts to let out her frustration, through tears, "Would you like to sleepover tonight? Or I could drive you home."
"I'll stay over." Quinn agrees quietly. Climbing into the car together, the gate opens and Dani drives up the driveway.
In the house, Dani and Jenny sort out the candy into bowls as Quinn changes into Dani's pyjamas and takes a shower.
When Jenny goes to bed, they head to Dani's room where Quinn climbs on top of Dani and kisses her deeply.
"Marry me." Quinn whispers causing Dani to freeze. Feeling Quinn kiss down her neck, she leaves her mark.
"Could you repeat that?" Dani whispers in surprise.
"Marry me." Quinn repeats looking Dani in the eye.
"This is going too fast." Seeing the hurt in Quinn's eyes, Dani takes her hand, "I'm not saying no, but I'm also not saying yes, Quinn." Quinn takes a breath, "May we slow this down?"
Watching the blonde nod, tears spill over.
"I know you like your friend. What's his name?"
"Puck."
"Would you like my little match maker to get you two together?"
"Jenny? Who is Jenny trying to match up?"
"This Latina and I. She really likes her. She likes you a lot though."
"At least she's honest."
"Very. So would you like her to?"
"I like being with you. I like our dates and Jenny. But I also like it when Puck and I are together." Quinn looks down nervously.
"I'm not mad, you know that right?" Quinn looks Dani in the eye to find her calm, "You're just being honest."
"What should I do? Puck told me in high school that he loves me. What if he's over it?"
"Do you have his number?"
"Obviously." Quinn chuckles rolling her eyes.
"Call him and ask."
"No."
"Want me to?"
"No."
"Too bad." Grabbing Quinn's phone from the side table, she looks up Puck while Quinn rolls her eyes but doesn't stop her crush.
Putting the phone on speaker, it rings once before Puck picks up.
"Quinn?" Puck asks.
"Hi, Puck. It's Dani calling for Quinn." Dani smirks.
"Don't." Quinn blushes.
"Do you still love Quinn?" Dani gets straight to the point.
"Aren't you two dating?" Puck questions.
"We go on dates." Quinn states, "I told you this a hundred times."
"Okay…" Puck trails off.
"Do. You. Love. Quinn?" Dani speaks slowly like talking to a four-year-old Jenny.
"Yes…"
"Thank you. Now ask Quinn out." Quinn blushes more red while Dani smirks at her, "Quinn, it means you can pick him and we can stay friends."
"Will you be my date to our friend's dinner in Lima?" Puck questions.
"I'd like that." Quinn nods.
"Dani, are you coming?"
"No." Dani answers.
"Too bad, you and Jenny are coming too. You two can be my friend dates."
"Can I say no?"
"Nope."
Quinn starts to laugh, "You lost before it has even begun."
"Great." Dani groans, "I hate big crowds and too many people in one place."
"You'll live." Puck grins on his end, "Now here is the important question for Quinn."
"Yes?"
"Will you finally be my girlfriend?"
"It took you this long to ask me?" Quinn chuckles, "The answer is yes."
"Sorry for the wait. It's nice to hear your voice, Dani."
"You too, Puck." Hanging up after saying goodbye, Quinn and Dani hug before falling asleep smiling.
