Chapter 4: F the pain away

Maribel is in bed sleeping. She hears her phone vibrate. She reaches over to her nightstand and answers it. She puts the device to her ear.

"Hello?" She asks groggily.

"Mrs. Lopez this Officer Martin. I'm calling because we have your daughter Santana Lopez at Lima Hospital."

Maribel jolts up and shakes her husband awake. He wakes up looking at his wife with a sleepy look. Maribel has tears in her eyes. He's wide awake now.

"What happened?" She finally asked.

"She was driving on the back roads. A drunken driver hit her car while she heading home." The officer tells her.

"We're on our way." She throws the cover off her and gets out of bed.

"Yes ma'am." He hangs up.

"Oh my god." Maribel slips some clothes on.

"Baby what's going on?" David asked getting up out of bed.

"Santana's in the hospital." Maribel puts a little of make-up on.

"What?! What happened to my daughter?!" David yells.

"David let's go to the hospital and find out more." Maribel goes to wake up her children.

"She better not be dead." David hisses as he slips on some clothes.

…..

The Lopez family and the whole Glee Club is waiting for the doctor to come and tell them about Santana. David is getting impatient. The doctor comes back. They all stand up.

"How is she?" David asked.

"She has 4 broken ribs. 2 on the right and 2 on the left. Her arm is broken and she has a dislocated shoulder. She will be in a cast for about a month or two. Her leg is bruised. She has bruises on her face, a busted lip, and gash on the right side of her head. The gash was kind of bad so we had to stitch it up. Santana also her kidney was damaged so we have to perform surgery. Also….." The doctor trails off.

"Also what?" Holly asked.

"Santana's is currently paralyzed from the waist down. Her spinal cord was damaged during the accident."

Everyone has their hand over their mouths. Everyone turns to look at Quinn who's currently shaking because she remembers her accident. Artie even feels bad. David is fucking pissed he wants to kill this person.

"How long will the surgery take?" Kurt asked.

"About 2 hours. Santana is lucky to still be here. The cops are here to talk to you guys."

"Thank you doctor." Maribel sits down in a chair.

"Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. I'm Officer Martin and this is my partner Officer Hanna."

"Hi Officers. What happened?" David asked.

"Well Santana had the right away, but the driver ran a red light and hit her car making it flip over 4 times." Officer Martin tells them.

"Did anybody see it?" Maribel asks.

"Yes. A woman named Lisa Mills. She was walking her dog around the time it occurred. She was the one who called 911. Lisa really couldn't see the driver, but she said they way the person was built it looked like a guy." Officer Hanna tells them reading the notes off of her pad.

"Where was she coming from? Anybody know?" Officer Martin asked.

"She was with me." Brittany speaks up. Everyone turns their heads towards her.

"Your name ma'am." Officer Hanna says.

"Brittany S. Pierce." Brittany tells the officer.

"Brittany where were you two?" Officer Hanna asked.

"On a date. We went to breadstix and she dropped me off at my house upset."

"Why was she upset?" Officer Martin asked the blonde.

"I rejected her proposal to me. I also told her that I didn't lover her anymore. I told her that she had a son. Santana was heartbroken. I don't know where she went after that." Brittany explains.

"The doctors found Alcohol in Santana's system, Santana was little bit off the edge." Officer Martin states.

"So what about the driver?" Blaine asks.

"We're looking for him right now."

"Thank you officers." David shakes their hands.

"No problem." They both walk to the lobby.

….

The next day

The Glee club are all sitting in their seats sad. Quinn wipes her tears because she feels guilty on how she's been treating Santana. Brittany just sighs. Kurt speaks up.

"You know this is your fault right?" Kurt looks over at Brittany.

"Excuse me?"

"Brittany she loves you. She told me that she would never do anything bad. I talked to her parole officer. Santana has been on good behavior. I can't believe you rejected her last night. You should have told her about your son while she was locked up." Kurt hisses.

"Kurt maybe you should calm down. It's the drivers fault not Brittany's." Will states.

"Why should I? Santana worked her ass off to make that date perfect. And you (Kurt points to Quinn) you've been a real big bitch lately. Santana has done a lot for you. She helped you with your physical therapy and she kicked Puck's ass when he got you pregnant. You had no right to say those things to her Quinn. You both should be ashamed of yourself. And you (Kurt points to Finn), you had no right outing Santana. Her grandmother disowned her because of what happened. You guys are so fucking selfish to that girl. Santana has a lot going on with her and you guys are assholes for treating her like shit. Don't bother coming down to the hospital to see her. Come on Blaine." Kurt walks out angrily.

"You know he's right. You guys are selfish." Blaine follows Kurt.

"What do we do now?" Sam looks at his fellow classmates.

"We have to go see Santana." Rachel picks up her things and walks out.

…..

Maribel is sitting beside Santana holding her hand. Emilio and Elisa are looking at their sister with tears in their eyes. David is in the lobby talking to the cops. They hear a knock. Emilio opens the door revealing Kurt and Blaine.

"How is she?" Kurt kisses Santana's head.

"She's okay. She moved her hand a bit."

"She hasn't opened her eyes yet?" Blaine sets his things down by the side of Santana's bed.

"No. Not yet." Elisa says.

"I'm sorry Maribel."

"Kurt it's not your fault honey. My daughter has been through a lot. I can't believe somebody would do this to her."

"I'm going to kill whoever did this to my sister." Emilio says angrily.

"Honey, there's no need for that. Santana's alive and that's what matter. I'm glad she didn't die." Maribel sniffs.

"Mom, they will catch the guy. Don't worry." Elisa hugs her mother.

"I hope so. I hope Santana doesn't go all Lima Heights on the doctors. She hates needles." Maribel giggles.

"Oh she will. She will find out about it." Blaine laughs.

Everyone laughs for a bit.

"Maribel you want a break? I could watch her."

"Oh that would be great Kurt. Thank you." She hugs the boy.

"Sure."

"Mom we should be heading out. I got to get back home and finish my work for school." Elisa tells her mom.

"Sure honey. I'll call you guys if something happens."

"Thanks for being here for her Kurt. You're like a brother to her." Emilio shakes his hand.

"No problem. I love Santana." Kurt looks over at his best friend who has an oxygen tube in her nose.

"Thank you too Blaine. You guys are really good to her." Elisa kisses his cheek and leaves with Emilio.

"I will be right back guys." Maribel leaves.

….

Maribel is in the Cafeteria drinking some coffee. She looks up and sees the Glee club standing there with sad looks. She stands up and walks over to them.

"Hey guys."

"Hi Mrs. Lopez." Rachel greets for them.

"I thought Kurt told you guys not to come."

"We had to see her. We feel guilty." Sam said.

"Guilty? So why do have to feel guilty for little boy? You took my daughters true love away from her. I don't like you whatever your name is. To be honest this is your fault. You knew Santana and Brittany were in a relationship and you were too jealous that you had to have Brittany for yourself. I don't want you around my daughter or my fucking grandson. And you (She points to Quinn) Santana did a lot for you Quinn. You were like a daughter to me until you betrayed my daughter. She told me what happen between you and Puck. Santana loves you Quinn. You were like a sister to her and sisters don't betray each other. And you (She points to Finn) I can't believe you outed my daughter. I know Santana can be hot headed. You pissed her off Finn. Santana wanted to kill herself that day because of your foolishness. And you (she points to Brittany) I love you like my own Brittany. I don't hate you for this, but Santana loves you. I can't hate you because of my grandson. You two belong together and you know it. You should have said yes to her. You don't love guppy lips. You love my daughter who's up stairs fighting for her life. You three are so fucking selfish. You all are." Maribel leaves them standing there with hurt looks on their faces.

…..

Kurt and Blaine are cuddled up together sleeping in a chair. Santana groans. Kurt looks up and sees the Latina fluttering her eyes open. Kurt gasps. He runs out to go get the doctor. Blaine goes over to Santana smiling down at her. The doctor comes running in.

"Can you hear me Santana?" The doctor asked.

"Yes." She nods.

"Okay. Blink if you see the light." They click the mini flashlight on and off. Santana blinks.

"She okay?" Maribel asks walking in.

"Yes. I'm going to run some test on Santana." The doctor writes down on their clipboard.

"Santana how do you feel?" Kurt asks.

"Like shit." She coughs.

"I'll be back." The doctor walks out.

"Thank you god." Maribel goes over and kisses Santana head.

….

Santana is sitting up in her bed eating some chicken noodle soup. She has a cup of sprite beside her. Her mother told her the news about her injures. Santana cried for a while, but she got past it. Santana hates that it happened to her, but she will try to make the best of it. Santana looks up at her mother.

"Mami? You alright?" Santana asks worriedly.

"Santana I worried."

"Mom I'm fine. I will walk again." Santana chuckles.

"Santana I was mad. I went off on your friends. I'm sorry." She apologizes.

"Mom it's fine. Kurt told me he did the same thing." Santana rolls her eyes.

"So have you seen your son yet?"

"Yeah. He looks just like me minus the blue eyes." Santana smiles.

"I want to see my grandson."

"Call her. It's fine." Santana shrugs.

"Santana, I hate that you were drinking." Maribel take the bowl away from her and puts it to the side.

"Mom it wasn't like that. I got my heartbroken. Fucking Sam Evans. I hate him mom. He took Brittany away from me. That's not right. She never broke up with me!" Santana screams.

"I know mija. I don't like that big lipped boy neither."

"Where's Dad?"

"Hopefully not killing the driver."

"Yeah I hope not." Santana yawns.

"You tired?"

"Yeah a bit." Santana dozes off.

"Night Santana." Her mom tucks her in and kisses her head.

…..

Brittany and Jenny are standing in the lobby with Clyde. Maribel sees them and walks up to them. She taps Brittany shoulder.

"Hi Maribel." Jenny greets.

"Hi Jenny."

"Hi Mrs. Lopez." Brittany greets the older woman.

"It's Maribel Brittany. You've know me long enough to know I hate when you call me that." Maribel smiles.

"I'm sorry. I know it's my fault she's here." Brittany says in guilt.

"It's not your fault Brittany. I'm sorry if I was hard on you yesterday. I was upset about Santana's condition. She didn't deserve this." Maribel says to Brittany.

"You're right she doesn't. I know she loves me and I still love her. I'm sorry about not telling her about her son. He wants to see Santana. Is that okay?" Brittany rubs Clyde's head.

"Yeah come on. She's awake." Maribel walks to Santana's room.

…..

Santana is watching Ridiculousness. She laughs at something Rob says. She looks over and sees her mom walking in with Brittany, Jenny and Clyde. He turns the TV down.

"Hi San."

"Hey."

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm good. Hi Jenny." Santana waves.

"Hey Santana. You need anything?" She asks.

"No I'm fine. Thanks."

"Clyde, Santana's awake." She shakes him a bit.

Clyde wakes up and looks over at Santana. He smiles and reaches for her. Brittany hands him to Santana who takes him.

"Hi buddy."

"Hi. You got boo boo's." He examines Santana's injuries.

"Yeah I do. They will be okay."

"Oh. Kissy boo boo's mama." Clyde points to Santana's injuries.

Brittany walks over and kisses Santana's wounds.

"Hey buddy wanna go spend time with Abuela?"

"Abuewa?

"It's mean grandma in Spanish. That's my mom." Santana points to her mother who's smiling.

"Oh. She my too?" He points to himself.

"Yeah buddy. She's abuela."

"I want abuewa.' He reaches over to Maribel. She takes him.

"Hi honey." She hugs him.

"Hi abuewa. I Clyde." He cuddles into her.

"Let's leave these two alone." Jenny says.

"Good idea." Maribel leaves Jenny.

"It's good to see you." Santana grabs her hand.

"Santana I'm sorry."

"It's cool B." Santana looks down.

"Santana look at me."

"I can't." Santana shakes her head.

Brittany strokes her cheek. Santana leans into her touch and kisses her palm. Brittany sits on the side of the bed. Brittany leans in to kiss Santana.

"What's going on here?" A figure asks.

…

Whew. Another one down. Whoo-Hoo! Go Mama Lopez. She told them off. Should I do The List next? Sweet Lady Kisses
