"Y-you quit?" Santana stutters out.
Quinn nods "I couldn't take it any more you guys were right, we will figure something out." She says and looks between the two brunettes.
Rachel doesn't say anything and just lunges at Quinn hugging her for dear life.
"I'm so proud of you baby! You didn't deserve to be treated the way Ryan was treating you." Rachel whispers into Quinn's ear.
Quinn returns Rachel's hug and strokes her back "Thanks Rach." She says before placing a kiss on her cheek.
Santana stands from the couch and starts pacing the room, hands rubbing her temples. "Oh my god! I'm the only one who has a full time job. How am I going to take care of two babies and their moms?! Yeah we have some money in savings but that's only going to last so long. I know we gave her a hard time about the job but I didn't expect her to quite... I didn't expect... I... I don't know what I expected." She's having a mild panic attack in her head "What are we going to do?" Santana clasps her hand over her mouth and turns her back to the couch 'Oh shit that last part wasn't in my head'
Quinn noticed Santana's internal struggle but didn't bring it to Rachel's attention. She knows Santana sometimes needs extra time to process major changes. She makes a mental note to talk alone with her later. That is until they hear her voice. Rachel lets go of Quinn and notices Santana no longer on the couch.
Rachel and Quinn stand from the couch and walk to the Latina. "Are you ok San?" Rachel asks softly.
Santana nods her response not trusting her voice at the moment.
Quinn and Rachel share a look. "Well what did you mean by your question?" The blond asks.
Santana shakes her head "I didn't say anything."
"Yes you did S... What do you mean "what are we going to do?"?" Quinn questions again.
Santana exhales and runs her hand along her face "I'm just freaking out a little here..." She pauses. Rachel and Quinn look on with worry. "How am I going to provide for the two of you and the twins? The studio is doing well now and I know we have savings but babies cost a lot of money and ... and we're moving. Oh my god we're moving! Rent is going to be higher for a bigger place." She starts to pace the room again with the new realization.
Quinn's doubts about quitting have now grown immensely. "Oh god I'm such an idiot! What have I done?! How could I be so stupid!?" She screeches now in a full meltdown of her own.
Rachel is watching a bit stunned by the scene in front of her. "Enough!" She yells. "Both of you sit down." She instructs while leading them to the couch. "San... The responsibly does not fall solely on you." She places her hand on her stomach "As much as I love you for wanting to take care of us, these babies were made by ALL of us out of love... and they will be brought into this world and raised the same way. We will be alright. We will figure things out. You do not have to feel burdened... especially not alone." She comforts the Latina by placing her hand on her cheek and running her thumb up and down, then runs it along her lips before placing a slightly less than chaste kiss to them. "Understand?" The petite diva questions while leaning their foreheads together.
A smile spreads on the taller brunettes face before she laughs softly and kisses Rachel once more and nods her head in understanding.
Quinn has calmed down since watching the exchange thankful for Rachel's voice of reason, but a few silent tears are still falling due to herself doubt.
Once Rachel is convinced Santana is truly ok and not just trying to placate her she turns to Quinn. "And you..." She says while moving to sit next to Quinn and turning her body more in to her own. "You listen to me, I never want to hear you say those words about yourself again." She says sternly but lovingly while framing Quinn's face with her hands. "You are the furthest thing from stupid or an idiot. You are my bright, intelligent, generous, breathtaking, amazing girlfriend. You did nothing wrong. You stood up for yourself, frankly I think it was a bit overdue but better late than never. You have nothing to feel ashamed of. We will get through this together, like always." She finishes by kissing the blond much as she did with Santana and reaches for her left hand.
Santana hums her support "She's right Q. I'm sorry I made you feel bad. I just freaked out a bit. I'm happy you stood up for yourself and told Ryan off." She takes Quinn's right hand in her own and laces their fingers together and sends her a loving and apologetic smile.
Rachel smiles at them both before standing up "Alright now can we please go to lunch I'm famished" she says while reaching her arms out to the two still on the couch.
They both chuckle at the tiny girls increased appetite. "Yes but first we have to watch -"
She's cut off by a knock at the door, Olivia peaks her head in "Can you guys come watch my dance now?" She pleads.
Tina's voice can be heard from the hall "Olivia I told you not interrupt them. Did you even knock first?"
Olivia turns towards Tina "Yes Mamma."
Tina appears in the door frame. "Did you wait for someone to tell you that you could come in?" She questions and places her hands on her hips giving her daughter a knowing look.
Olivia hangs her head before she answers. "No Mamma."
Tina has a hard time concealing her smile "I thought not." She squats down to be level with the young girl and cups her chin to make eye contact. "Now apologize for interrupting your Aunties please."
Olivia turns towards the trio, tears threatening to spill from being scolded "I'm sorry for interrupting and not waiting for you to say I could come in." She says softly while running her foot along the carpet in front of her.
The girls have a hard time hiding their smiles as well, their niece is just too cute. Rachel hides her face behind Santana's arm and Quinn covers her mouth with her hand. Santana looks at both of them and shakes her head. She walks to Olivia and picks her up. "It's ok Liv, you were just excited to show us your dance huh?" Olivia nods enthusiastically a smile spreading across her face.
Tina clears her throat "Ahem."
Santana looks up to see a stern look on her face, "Uh but um thank you for apologizing. It is important to wait to enter until the person says it is okay." She looks up to Tina for conformation she said what she wanted her to say. Tina just nods her head and rolls her eyes in conformation.
Rachel claps her hands "Alright Olivia, why don't we go see this new dance of yours and then we can all go have some lunch. How does that sound?"
Quinn laughs and wraps her arm around Rachel's waist. "I think that sounds splendid. Shall we?" She gestures to the door.
"Okay. Yeah. I love you too." Brittany is ending a conversation on her phone. When Olivia comes skipping in. "Aunt B, Aunt B is the music ready?!"
"Olivia we just had a conversation about interrupting." Tina scolds.
Brittany laughs lightly."It's alright Liv I was just hanging up."
Olivia looks up to Tina with a smile "See Mamma, I didn't interrupt."
"Yeah Mamma she didn't interrupt." Santana mimics as she walks by to greet Brittany.
Tina rolls her eyes. "Well let's see this dance."
Brittany sets up the music and gets herself and Olivia into positions. Quinn, Santana, Rachel, and Tina sit in the first row of chairs that are normally for the parents to observe the child's progress. The music starts and soon Olivia is twirling all over the dance floor jumping here and there. She may only be four but you can defiantly tell she's got Mike's talent for dancing. The dance lasts about 10 minutes.
The girls are all congratulating Olivia on a job well done when Mike and Oliver enter.
"Hey what's going on in here?" Asks Mike. Oliver just goes to sit down in the recently vacated chairs and continues playing with his game.
"Olivia was just showing us her new dance." Tina answer her husband while giving him a side hug.
"Yeah Daddy. Do you wanna see?" Olivia asks hopeful.
"Of course princess." He says with a smile
Brittany queues the music up once more and the routine starts again. Having already seen the dance less than 2 minutes ago the girls begin to converse softly.
All but Santana who walks over to Oliver "What are you getting to old to come say hello to your favorite aunt huh?" She teases while nudging his elbow with her own.
He pauses the game and lays it in the chair next to him and apologizes "Sorry Aunt San."
Santana notices the boys unusually demeanor. "Hey what's got you so down little man?"
He sighs. "There's this camp that all my friends are going to starting next week but mom and dad said I couldn't go."
Santana nods her head in understanding. "Ah I see... Do you want me to talk to them for you?"
Oliver perks up at the offer. "You'd do that for me?"
Santana laughs softly. "Of course little man" she says while ruffling his hair.
"Oh my god! This is cause for celebration!" Tina can be heard from the other side of the room.
Santana's eyes immediately find her girlfriends and ask the silent question. Rachel and Quinn discreetly shake their head no.
"Oh yes definitely! We should go out tonight!"
"What's cause for celebration?" Santana questions once she joined the group.
"Quinn quitting that giant as- jerk face" Brittany stutters out after remembering the young ears in the room.
"And you signing your new artist babe." Quinn adds.
"That settles it. We are going out I'll call the kids baby sitter now." Tina says almost too excited for the night out that is long overdue.
"Well with that settled can we pleeeaaassseee go have lunch?" Rachel's stomach growls to further her point.
They all laugh. "Yes baby." Quinn answers.
"Does anybody want to join us?" Santana asks the others.
Brittany shakes her head no "Mike and I have a couples class starting in here in about 10 minutes."
"And I have to get home and get these two and myself ready for tonight" Tina says while gathering her children and their belongings.
"Alright well we will see every one tonight, usual place?" Rachel questions anxious to finally be able to have lunch.
Everyone agrees to there usually spot and goes their own way.
"So what are you in the mood for mi Estrella?" Santana asks Rachel.
"Whatever is closest!" Rachel answers quickly.
"Pizza it is then." Says Quinn while holding the front door open for the two brunettes.
They make their way to their usual pizza joint that is just a couple doors down.
Hope you enjoyed!
