CHAPTER 14

A few weeks passed before Quinn came home. She didn't plan it but she was now sitting at the kitchen with her mom. She just blurted out that she and Santana has been dating.

Her mother was just staring at her as if she's waiting for the punch line but they both knew it wouldn't come so Judy spoke, "I know that Santana likes girls. It's not that surprising, but isn't she in love with the tall blonde?"

Quinn flinched. Strangely, she wanted her mother to be furious and mad about her liking girls rather than questioning her about Santana's love for the other blonde. It's stupid, she knows, but her insecurities get the best of her sometimes, and unknowingly her mother knows that.

"That's Brittany and they are just best friends." It's more of Quinn trying to let that fact sink in to her rather than answering her mom.

"Well, they didn't sound just best friends to the whole town before 'Brittany' left Ohio." Her mother said getting the best of her like a pro. She couldn't argue with her mom with those facts because her mom has been in Lima, Ohio ever since, while she came with her father in Lima just before she went to college.

"She's in love with me now." She said with conviction. She thought that it's much easier to argue with her mom that it's okay loving girls, because then she's sure she's on the right, while this argument they're having…only Santana really knows the answer.

"The whole town knows about them, Quinnie. Santana's in love with her childhood best friend. And I honestly don't care. But I care about you so I'm telling you this. I let you befriend her because she's a nice kid and because I thought that she would settle with Brittany, but here we are talking about the two of you 'dating', what am I thinking? You're my daughter; of course she would hit on you." Judy said too much for Quinn's liking. She made it sound like their love isn't special and she didn't like it, not one bit.

"Mom. Stop. I know what you're trying to do. It won't work. You could've just told me that you don't like the idea of me dating Santana." she said trying to control her anger as she walks away.

"Isn't it working, dear? Because-" Quinn quickly cuts her off.

"No! It isn't and it won't." she gritted her teeth. She's having none of it. Well, she'd like to think that she's having none of it but her mother knows her too well, and she's invading Quinn's mind.

"Avoid her for a month or two and she'll come running back to her one true love." Quinn didn't want to hear anymore of whatever her mother is going to say. She walked out of the kitchen grabbed her phone, texted Santana and went right to her house.

"Hey, Babe. What's wrong?" Santana asked as she sees a very pissed Quinn at their doorstep.

"It's nothing." The blonde answered and kissed her girlfriends cheek.

Santana was curious but she knew better to not force Quinn to tell her right now.

Quinn greeted Santana's mom who was watching the television then they went to Santana's room for some alone-time.

None of them was speaking for a while; Quinn is just seated on Santana's bed while Santana was lying on her bed.

"I know you said that you enjoy being with me even if we do absolutely nothing, but…" Santana started hesitantly.

"Do you ever think of the future ahead of us?" Quinn asked blatantly.

The question made Santana sit up straight. "What?"

"Do I really have to repeat it again?" Santana never really thought about it before. It crosses her mind sometimes but just for a fleeting moment. They're young, it's normal to just explore and experience things first, right?

"Well, not really." The Latina answered honestly. "But now that I think about it," she added. "I'd like to imagine myself married to a beautiful blonde that has the most beautiful eyes, and have kids with her…"

"Are they blue or green?" Santana didn't have to ask Quinn what she's referring to.

"Haven't I told you before that you have the most beautiful eyes?" Santana find this moment as the perfect time to look at Quinn straight in the eyes. The blonde could never get used of the way Santana looks at her, it might actually be her favorite thing in the world.

"Not that I remember…" she said looking away, trying not to smile because she knows where this is going.

"Well, I'm telling you now." The Latina said before she gently held Quinn's chin and made the blonde face her again. "You have the most beautiful pair of eyes." She smiled at the blush that crept on the blonde's cheeks. Santana cupped Quinn's face and kissed her on the forehead. "You and your insecurities…it's silly. I promise…" she looked at the blonde's eyes again, "I promise you that I won't let you feel the need to get insecure to other girls and make them be jealous of you instead."

Quinn smiled widely at that. She thought the idea was mean and sweet at the same time. "I love you." She breathed. It's been her response whenever Santana would say really sweet words or state really touching speeches. Because even though Santana always say that the blonde was better in speaking out, Quinn has always been speechless when it comes to Santana. Of course, except that time when she confessed her love for the brunette.

Santana smiled at her. "Can you tell me now, why you came here looking like you would cut a-" she stopped because Quinn doesn't like hearing foul words. "You know what I mean."

"I kind of…" Quinn's suddenly embarrassed by her rashness earlier that day. "I told my mom about us."

Santana's eyes widened and her mouth formed an 'o' shape. "What did she say?"

Quinn chuckled incredulously. "She's implying that I'm just a reb-" she was stopped by Santana's finger that touched her lips.

The Latina sighed. "I'd like to think that you didn't believe that, but, you're Quinn..." Santana smiled at her girlfriend, "If I ever have to choose, you should know that I'll always pick you." Santana said seriously.

She nodded as their hands intertwine.

Santana stood up pulling Quinn with her. "Where are we going?"

"To my future mother-in-law." Santana joked, meaning the half of it.

"You're crazy. We're talking about my mom here, Santana." Quinn said stopping her tracks.

"Like I don't know that…Look, it can't be that bad." Santana said nonchalantly.

"You don't know her like I do." Quinn answered as if it was supposed to scare Santana.

"Your parents raised an angel like you, Quinn. They can't be someone we couldn't handle." Santana tried to assure her girlfriend.

While Quinn liked the thought of that, she still can't make herself stop worrying. "Bad things go on my mind, you know that…"

Santana smirked at her. "I must be all that you ever think of then, huh?"

Quinn smiled genuinely tis time and scoffed. "You wish…" she smiled her biggest smile of the day.

"That's more like it." The brunette said referring to the other girl's smile. The girl took this opportunity to grab Quinn's hands again and pull her to the girl's house.

Santana rang the doorbell abruptly as they reached the Fabray's front door.

Judy Fabray welcomed them with a smile, like she was expecting them, and this made Quinn more nervous. The thing is, Quinn likes dealing with upfront dislike or hate rather than this…it makes her worry what might happen next.

They sat on the couch in their living room. Quinn never let go of Santana's hands even for a second. There was a thick silence that makes Quinn and Santana at ease.

"I'm very disappointed in you Santana." There was something in the way Judy said it that scared Santana and at the same time feels the same pain that she feels whenever she disappoints her parents. And maybe that's the thing, Judy has been a somewhat mother to her. And suddenly, she doesn't feel so brave anymore. But she felt a hand squeeze hers and it's like her courage never left.

"Mrs. Fabray…" it was strange, because Judy would usually insist that Santana call her 'Aunt Judy' instead, and it was just now that Santana really appreciated it, now that she knew that even if she wanted to, she couldn't. "I'm sorry I fell in love with a girl, and I'm even more sorry because I don't regret falling in love with your daughter."

The older blonde chuckled a little, "And you see, that's the thing, Santana. You could've fallen in love with other girls and I would've been fine with that, but no, you fell in love with my daughter."

"I didn't mean to." Santana answered quietly.

It was weird for Quinn. She was there but her mother and her girlfriend seem to have their own conversation. It seemed like her mother was more disappointed than Santana than to her. Like Santana is the bigger deal than her; she didn't know if she should complain, if she wanted to complain.

"Okay" the older blonde sighed. "Let's make this easy for all of us." She stated with a straight face, then looked at her daughter, "I wouldn't say anything about this so called relationship of yours, if you tell me looking straight in the eyes, right now, that you're ready to face this cruel world, that the judging looks wouldn't bother you," the she looked at Santana and pointed at her, "and that you can protect my daughter from this miserable society that we're in."

Santana wanted to protest, she knows in these terms, she fighting a losing battle. It was the same world that took Brittany away from her, the same society that forced them to be apart in the first place. "You know I can't do that." Santana answered with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Would you mind telling us why?" she knew that the older blonde knows why. It was after all, one of the biggest news in town back then.

The tone the older blonde just gave made Quinn curiously wait for Santana's answer. Santana's eyes were welling up. So Quinn answered her mom, "I'm scared, Mom. So much. I might or might not be ready, but I'm more afraid to lose this girl beside me," she squeezed Santana's hand and Santana smiled at her. "you're important to me, mom. You and Dad have been great parents to me, and I love you for that, but I need your support now, more than ever. And it would be so much easier for us if you'd take our side instead of going against us." Quinn genuinely said, hoping that her mother would understand.

Sam's POV:

Rachel and I was in a middle of a girl hunt, when we saw a crying Santana walking towards us, not really to us but I guess to her house. It concerned us immediately since it was very unlikely that Santana would cry in public. The last time she cried in public if I remember it right was after Brittany left.

"Santana? Are you okay? Why are you crying?" I asked with a concerned voice. As I stop her from walking by holding her arm.

Rachel slapped me in the arm. "Of course, she's not, Sam, that's why she's crying." I ignored her although she has a point.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She didn't answer; instead she looked away and wiped her tears. I bet it has something to do with Brittany, or Quinn. I swear, blondes are her weakness, except me, I'm her strength to be honest.

"Does it have something to do with Quinn? Or Brittany?" Rachel speaks my mind, like she always does. Sometimes I don't know if she's just that fearless, stupid or she just doesn't care. Santana obviously wouldn't think twice to cut a bitch right now.

So I was surprised when Santana just nodded gently. I didn't know what's worse anymore, this Santana or Snixx…

We went to a more private place to talk.

We went to her house. Her mom was there but she knew better to not ask what was wrong. We went straight to her room and Rachel asked the same questions she did before but Santana only said "I can't" while shaking her head. I didn't know if I should pity her or be upset because it's always like this, we're left out with whatever it is that's happening to them.

I mean, I understand Rachel can be such a blabbermouth sometimes but I'm not like that, and besides it's not like Rachel isn't that trustworthy. She can be really sweet and caring and we often forget that which I just don't understand. Did I just say that?

Anyways Rachel is looking at me weirdly now, waiting for me to help her get Santana to talk.

"Hey, San…" I started.

"Sam…" she tried to speak but I stopped her before she could stop me.

"I know that this is about Quinn, and I know that you prefer talking to Emily about this but we're here. And I'm tired of being a useless friend so could you please kindly let us help you on this?" I said sincerely while Rachel nods in everything I say, and I'm thankful she was being quiet. She was doing all the caressing while I do the talking.

It seemed to work because her features became soft but it wasn't as sad as it was before, it was more of in awe.

"Quinn and I are together." She said and it confused me because normally that would be a good news.

Rachel gasped. "Really? I'm happy for you, San." Then she hugged Santana and pulled away in a matter of seconds, "But why do you seem so sad?"

"We came out to her mother and it didn't go well." She said in between sobs.

"She didn't stand up for the both of you, did she?" I said in an almost sure tone.

She shook her head immediately. "No, that's the problem. She did, and I'm not sure if I can do the same."

"But Santana that's stupid." Rachel said like a word vomit but I didn't glare or roll my eyes at her like I usually would because it's true. It did seem stupid to me too. She should be happy because that's so rare for Quinn to stand up against her parents.

Santana was fidgeting her fingers. She didn't react on what Rachel just said and I'm betting that's because she knows Rachel is right. "You know how precious she is to me, and I just thought of how similar this was before Brittany and I broke up…"

Up to now, I've never seen Santana so broken as when Brittany left Ohio. They loved each other so much but I guess it doesn't mean that they were meant to be together. I wasn't quite sure how it ended this way; they were happy and their parents were happy for them. Maybe it was those judging looks, or the whispers behind their backs, but it could also be the fact that one of them got tired and chose the easier alternative; giving up.

"And it will end as badly if you don't stop thinking that there are a lot better things out there for them, than you. Brittany might be the one to break thing off between the two of you but you let go of her first." Rachel said and I thought it was the most beautiful thing she ever said next to that time she slipped that I was attractive.

She was saying the truth. Although I don't blame Santana that she feels that she's not enough, because Quinn is just so…Quinn. The thing is, even though Santana acts all overly confident most of the times, she's like all of the other girls that sometimes get insecure.

"I know but the thing is, Quinn's different she's…better." Santana said in the sweetest tone and I couldn't help but think that there is no better person that can love Quinn better than Santana. "People love her and if they find out that she's dating me, it could ruin her reputation and-"

The door suddenly opened and revealed a familiar face. "Seriously Santana, I'm fighting for our dear love and you are walking out on me for my freaking reputation? You're being stupid and I won't tolerate that."

We were all shocked that she's here and the fact that she said the word 'stupid', that's pretty rare for us to hear from her, the first time actually.

"I talked to my mom, she told me that she's gonna be there for us if we decided to tell my Dad. I know that she probably still thinks that this is wrong but she knows now that I'd be miserable without you. And I hope that you can see that too."

Santana hugged her without warning. "I'm sorry, Q."

We're not dumb. Of course we both know that this thing has been going on for a long time now based on what I can see, and Santana just decided to tell us now. I couldn't get upset though, because I can see that they're struggling. And they seem happy with each other nonetheless and I can't help but just be happy for them too.

We excuse ourselves to give them some privacy.

Santana's POV:

"I'm sorry, Q. There were a lot of things that came crashing through my mind, I've been here and I know that it wouldn't be easy. I got scared." I confessed. I feel really stupid walking out like that; there she was standing up for us and I walked away.

She tightened her hug. "I'm just as scared as you are Santana." That was all that came out from her mouth. That should make me feel anything but comfortable, but my heart became at ease.

"I don't know what's the right thing to say, Quinn…" I honestly said, and then she pulled away and stared into my eyes.

"I already gave you my heart, S. I don't care if you break it or smash it, but don't give it back to me, don't you ever leave it behind. You can even forget that I gave it to you but keep it. Because it would only ever beat when it's with you." She always knows the right things to say.

I just smiled like I always do when I couldn't think of anything else but how perfect she is for me, and to me. It was so normal how she kissed me after that. And it was so normal that I smiling in between our kisses.

All I knew at that moment is that all the uncertainty is going to be worth it.
