Santana was a little anxious as she waited for the gate to open that would lead to the cabin. Rachel was sitting quietly in the passenger seat absent mindedly running her thumb across the back of Santana's hand that she was holding. Obviously this wasn't the first welcome home party she had thrown, but Rachel had seemed pretty keen on coming home to get their mack on and Santana was interrupting that with their party tradition. Never the less, the party wouldn't go on all night, their friends did have jobs and children to attend to.

As they pulled up to the cabin, Santana was thankful that everyone had been smart and hid the cars. There wasn't that many to hide since a lot of people had carpooled per Santana's request. She didn't want nearly twenty cars tearing up her yard. Rachel was watching the cabin closely like she expected people to jump out of it, which really they weren't going to be jumping out until they walked inside.

"Why is it so dark in there?" Rachel asked as she turned to look at Santana while she undid her seat belt.

"Oh, I just didn't leave a light on before I left." Santana shrugged her shoulders as she opened her door to climb out. "We can come back out later and get your bags."

Rachel nodded her head as she took Santana's offered hand. By the time they reached the cabin door, Rachel had went from holding Santana's hand to having her arms around Santana's waist. Santana was struggling to get the key in the door without moaning.

"Rachel, I can't focus and you doing that." Santana spoke through gritted teeth.

"What am I doing?" Rachel asked innocently as she dragged her hands upward underneath Santana's button down blouse. She wasn't even sure when Rachel had managed to get it untucked from her jeans.

"That..your hands up my shirt." Santana looked down and motioned to Rachel's hands.

"I'm sorry, they have a mind of their own. It's like I can't control them." Rachel giggled as her hands landed at their destination giving Santana's breasts a firm squeeze. Feeling the air leave her lungs, Santana was torn, she could totally turn and run back to the Jeep right now and get a room at the lodge for the night with Rachel. However, she had a house full of people and two dogs that would be wondering where in the hell she was. Making a decision that she really didn't want to make, Santana stilled Rachel's hand and slowly removed them from her shirt.

"I promise we will continue this later, but right now we need to go get your surprise." Santana kissed Rachel's hands and held them so that she wouldn't be felt up again and turned to open the door. As she stepped inside she pulled Rachel in front of her and flipped on the living room light. Everyone jumped up screaming surprise. Rachel squealed and stumbled back a bit into Santana while taking in her surroundings.

All of Rachel's and Santana's friends had gathered to welcome the singer slash actress home. She could feel Santana's body still pressed against her back and she would give anything to be alone with the woman, but for now she had to do this. Santana wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist and kissed the side of her head.

"Welcome home." Santana grinned as Rachel turned around in her arms.

"This was your surprise? A welcome home party." Rachel quirked her eyebrow at Santana. She kind of knew that this is what was happening. It had became something of a tradition when either one of them would come home. If they could see everyone as soon as they got home, then they wouldn't be bothered at all for a few days. This would definitely work to their advantage, they wouldn't have to see anyone else until her dad arrived home.

"Well, it's more of a welcome home dinner. Puck is going to start the grill and we are going to have a big dinner. But it's not the whole surprise." Now Rachel was really curious. She thought the party was the surprise. "Now, sit, chat, relax. I'll go get you a drink and your surprise." Santana grinned and gave Rachel a quick kiss on the cheek.

Santana wander through the kitchen after delivering Rachel's drink to her. She had left her in the hands of Brittany whom was excited to tell Rachel all about the twins pre-school graduation, that she missed. Dahlia must be sleeping because Santana heard no noise coming from the bathroom. Dax, already taking the big brother role very seriously was laying in front of the bathroom door. Santana stopped to pat his head and greet him before entering the bathroom.

Rachel sat in Santana's favorite rocking chair and watched her walk towards the bathroom. She had no clue what the woman was doing, but for now she would follow the specific order of to sit and not move. Everyone was milling about the house getting things ready to cook or just hanging out. Beth had taken Artie and Brittany's twins outside to play while Puck went to fire up the grill.

It felt wonderful to be home and be able to see everyone, however Rachel still couldn't wait until they all went home. She really appreciated the warm welcome and she was just as excited to see everyone, but that didn't stop the thoughts for things to come after everyone went home. Having a party or dinner had really became a tradition after Santana came home one day and sexy times had been interrupted several times within a few hours of having Santana home. Quinn had been the first to stop by, followed by Brittany who was there to pick up a painting Santana had done of the twins and then Puck who had found out Santana was home and wanted her to ride ATV's with him and Beth, last was Leroy. He was the one who got the most eye full and that was when it was decided they would come up with a way to see everyone before hand to guarantee alone time afterwards. They really needed less invasive friends...well they were family and family was meant to be invasive.

Rachel shook her head thinking about her father, she couldn't wait until he got home. The man had built a beautiful cabin towards the back side of the mountain and he had a very handsome fiance' who lived with him. He had plenty of things that he could be doing, however he sometimes liked to visit unannounced. Truly, he was the worst at visiting unannounced, Rachel felt like he was still trying to make up all the time that they had lost. With that reason, every spare moment of alone time was beyond cherished. Rocking back and forth Rachel waited for Santana to come out of the bathroom while she listened to Brittany and looked at pictures of the twins in their little cap and gowns.

Santana opened the bathroom door to find Dahlia covered up with her blanket sleeping away in her bed. She turned when she heard an awe behind her. Santana hadn't even noticed that Quinn had walked up behind her and was peeking over her shoulder at Dahlia.

"She's so precious." Quinn whispered so that she didn't disturb the sleeping puppy.

"She is. I'm so glad I got to the shelter in time. No one wanted her because she was the runt and she was about to grieve herself to death without her mother or siblings." Santana remembered walking through the doors of the shelter after her friend Maurice had called. He had a three month old blonde border collie puppy that wasn't doing well in the shelter and the first person he thought of was Santana.

"It's a good thing Maurice thought of you." Quinn noted as she smiled at Dahlia who appeared to be chasing rabbits. You could see her little paws shuffling under the blanket.

"Well, he knew I had been on the lookout for a new member to add to the family. Dahlia was the perfect fit." Santana shrugged her shoulders. It had been an easy decision to make once she had met the puppy especially when Dahlia went from whining and crying to sleeping happily in Santana's arms while she filed the adoption papers. "After baby Davis gets older you and Puck should get a dog."

"We both work so much, it wouldn't be fair to the dog. Our time is already spread so thin right now...Beth is really feeling it too." Santana turned to look at Quinn, the woman's demeanor had fallen slightly at the mention of Beth.

Santana stepped away from the bathroom door pulling it closed behind her. Wrapping her hand around Quinn's wrist she pulled the woman down the hallway after holding up a finger at Rachel indicating to hang on. "What happened with Beth?" Santana furrowed her brows, whatever was going was serious, Quinn looked like she was about to cry at any minute. Quinn Puckerman-Fabray didn't cry that often, so this was definitely a rare sighting.

"My doctors appointment ran a little late because I was late getting in." Quinn ran her fingers through her hair, she was glad she had gotten it cut despite the myth's about the whole thing. "Anyway, I had promised Beth that I would be out on time to pick her up so she didn't have to ride the practice bus home. You know how she hates being the last stop." Santana nodded her head as she watched Quinn struggle to tell the rest of the story. She could sense where this might be going but she wasn't for sure.

"When I get to the field twenty minutes late, Beth is sitting there on the bench outside of the fence. I could tell she was livid before she even got up." Quinn chuckled a little bit at that. She could read her daughter like an open book considering she had her mother's temper. "She's mad because I didn't call to tell her to go ahead and get on the bus since I was going to be late. I was already in the exam room when I realized what time it actually was and couldn't call. So I called as soon as I got out, but turns out her phone was dead. That became my fault somehow too. Anyway, we argue and she just snapped."

"What do you mean she snapped? Did she hit you or something? I will go after that little blonde ass of hers right now if she did Quinn." Quinn started shaking her head rapidly at Santana's words. She could have worded that better.

"She would never hit me. A hit would have been better than what she said though." Quinn sighed as she leaned her head against the wall. The words still bouncing around her head.

"Quinn, what did she say?" Santana asked as she crossed her arms and studied the blonde woman in front of her. It must have been something pretty horrific for Quinn to wish she had been hit and be this upset about it.

"She said she wished that I had never gotten pregnant with Davis. She apologized after she realized what she said, but I have never seen her so angry. It was like that was the final straw for her." Quinn shrugged her shoulders as she ran her hands over her baby bump like she was apologizing to Davis for even repeating what his sister had said.

Santana was shocked, she never thought such an ill thing could come out of Beth's mouth. But on the other hand, the child already shared both of her parents with the rest of the world and now she was going to have share them with Davis. She was used to being the only child and sometimes you just feel too much at once and things come out in the heat of the moment. She wasn't excusing Beth's behavior, but she really knew how the young girl felt, minus the sibling part. Still she seemed to be at a loss for words. "I have no idea what to say to that."

"Right? What do you say to that?" Quinn let out a dry chuckle as she proceeded to bounce her head against the wall.

"What did Puck say when you told him?"

"He wanted to ground her." Quinn rolled her eyes. Pucks heart was in the right place, but this wasn't something you just grounded a kid over. Yeah she would be grounded for the way she spoke to Quinn but this was something much deeper.

"Do...do you want me to talk to her? I mean I'm an only child and I know nothing about getting siblings to bond but I don't know. I know what it feels like to not have my parents around as much as I would like." Santana rubbed the back of her neck. She didn't want Quinn to feel like she was overstepping her boundaries.

Quinn smiled at the way Santana was acting. "I think she would like that. She's just going to have to accept that there is going to be a new baby around the house. There's nothing I can do here except spend as much time with her as I possibly can."

Taking Quinn's hand into her own, Santana gave it a squeeze. "For what it's worth, you're a great mom Q. I know you haven't done much to Davis' room yet, but maybe Beth would like to help with that. I can let her help me do the mural and she can help pick out his clothes. You know? Like, the more you show her that he is coming and is going to stay, she might embrace her big sister role more. What do I know though?"

Quinn was staring at Santana in awe. Why hadn't she thought of that? Maybe letting Beth be more involved would be a small turning point. After the summer was over and all the time that Quinn planned to spend with Beth, hopefully things would be better. She missed her sweet daughter, she didn't care too much for this mini attitude version of herself. "You just gave me the best idea ever." Quinn kissed Santana's cheek and practically skipped back to the living room. Santana just shook her head smiling and went back to the bathroom to wake Dahlia and introduce her to Rachel.

Majority of Guest reviews will be ignored, unless they contain constructive criticism. I'm not going to change them to approval first because you have a right to share your opinion. I have the right to ignore it. This one time I will say this. Santana's successes are her own, yes she may have been tossed into the spot light because of her known association with Rachel, but she was very well off selling paintings before without Rachel, why would she need her now? She went public with her website with encouragement from Rachel, Artie and private investors that I mentioned in the first story. She would have became popular either way in the long run. Also, never has it been implied that Rachel and Santana are asexual, they don't have to be bumping uglies as soon as they see each other. It was the first chapter, my writing style and this thirst for sex that you have, would have them having sex in the airport or Santana's jeep and that opens a whole new can of worms. They have plenty of time to reunite after the party/dinner. Lastly, Quinn and Pucks relationship is just basic writing, I don't see how that bleeds passion.

With all of that said, if sex is all you're interested in with this story, then you are going to be very disappointed, at least until around chapter 4 roughly. I write in reference to what I like to read, I have even stopped reading stories before because there was sex every single chapter and I just found it too excessive. That's my opinion and if you find it silly, that's fine, I don't mind.

Bottom Line, I'm not going to write sex into every chapter, so it's best to move along if that's what you're expecting. Also, by the ending of the first story, no they hadn't had sex yet because Santana was still recovering and Rachel wasn't going to risk further injury.

Anyway, thank you for all the views, reviews, follows and favorites. I apologize that the names weren't tagged for easier findings when I first posted the story. I had tagged them and then when I went to submit, I typed the captcha wrong and it reset. I didn't see that it untagged the names, so thank you to the reviewer who asked. I probably wouldn't have noticed without you.

I also apologize for the long ass note, it definitely won't be happening again.
