She wasn't sure if Quinn was awake but since she called her name Brittany walked over to the pull out bed, with Quinn in the middle and Santana on the left it only left the right side open. Sitting down she scooted close to Quinn, her hip resting against Quinn's back Brittany rested her arm on the pillow before lightly brushing her hand over first Quinn's and then Santana's head, she smiled when Santana leaned into her touch. Keeping an eye on the sleeping duo she tugged her phone out of her pocket thankful for her skill at texting one handed, turning her phone on she texted Mike and Tina, she didn't have Matt's number. Brittany to Mike and Tina: Everything's under control now, Santana and Quinn are sleeping, I don't know all the details. Can you get me Matt's number?

Brittany to Mom: Thank you for helping, I'm sorry for yelling

It was a few moments before anyone texted her back, she'd put the phone on vibrate to not disturb Quinn and Santana and laid it on her leg. Feeling it buzz Brittany picked it up reading both texts as she continued to run her fingers through Santana's hair.

Mom to Brittany: You're welcome, we need to talk, when will you be home?

Seeing that Mike had sent Matt's number, she quickly added it to her phone typing,

Brittany to Matt: Santana's mom came over and took care of things both girls are sleeping

Brittany to Mom: Yes we need to talk, I don't know when I'll be home I'm taking care of Santana and Quinn

Putting her phone down she looked for the remote, she wasn't one for reading, she had trouble with it but she wanted some kind of noise for the girls, something they might find calming. Spotting it on the table she next to her she sighed in relief, she didn't want to disturb the girls by getting up and searching. Her phone buzzing on her leg she put the remote down poking it.

Matt to Brittany: I'll be over after work, I have a key

Mom to Brittany: When ever you're ready, I love you

She was sure the girls would be fine with Matt coming over and she couldn't leave her mom hanging so she quickly typed back.

Brittany to Mom: I love you too

Brittany to Matt: Okay

Studying the remote Brittany pressed buttons turning it on and quickly down incase it was too loud, hitting the guide button Brittany sat watching for something quiet to watch, she quickly decided on the food channel, both girls had a love for food and she loved watching the cooking shows. Settling back she pulled the blankets over her legs, Santana had needed her to be strong so she was, but it was exhausting.


It was dark when Matt finally arrived with take out, the tv was quietly playing the food channel and was the only light in the living room, after putting the food on the coffee table next to a bouquet of flowers he knew hadn't originally been there, Matt crept up to the pull out bed whispering "Santana." he gently shook her shoulder earning a glare from the Latina when she lifted her head. "You need to eat as much as she needs to sleep." Matt reminded. Frowning Santana nodded slowly pushing and pulling herself to the sitting position, Quinn's head now rested on her lap, reaching over Santana lightly brushed her thumb over Brittany's cheek whispering.

"Sweetie, Matt's here with food."

"Food?" Brittany murmured sitting up, rubbing her eyes she yawned before giving Matt a small smile.

"I ran by Pierce's," Matt grabbed a take out box for each girl "Karofsky's got it under control, Shannon's doing great with the classes." he informed Santana handing her the food box "And your boy Finn has been working well with Mr. Puckerman." he told Brittany handing her one as well. "I'll go puree some ambrosia, your mom said cacao as well." Santana nodded.

"Thank you." Santana glanced down at Quinn, with Quinn out cold she knew she was going to have to use the medicine dropper to give her the ambrosia. Looking over at Brittany she whispered "You don't have to stay, I know this is a lot and we just met..."

"We're in this together, you are my soul mate, you're stuck with me." Brittany whispered back, leaning over Quinn she placed a light kiss on Santana's cheek.

"You've got your club and studio..."

"Mike and Tina will handle them, we're partners." Brittany shook her head "You and Quinn are my concern, you're both exhausted and you don't need to be taking care of yourself and Quinn, I can do that, as long as cooking's not involved." Brittany added.

Santana chuckled, Brittany had said before that she couldn't cook, glancing at the kitchen when she heard the blender Santana said "I'm sure Matt won't mind playing delivery boy."

"Alright this is for Quinn." Matt held up a shot glass with liquid and a dropper in it telling Santana, "The rest is in the fridge, Auntie says one shot a day, there's already cacao in it, so you don't need to worry about that."

"Thank you Matt."

"How long did she sleep last time?" Brittany asked opening her food box.

"Just a day or two."

"A week." Matt answered at the same time Santana did.

"What?" Santana glared at him.

"After Calliope's sons attacked you..."

"I don't remember that." Santana shook her head. "I mean I remember the first couple of hits..."

"I just know when I came back with Uncle she was powered up and they were beat to hell." Matt shook his head. "I didn't find out the details until later."

"Why has nobody ever told me this?" Santana demanded.

"You didn't remember, they didn't want to traumatize you more than you already were." Matt explained.

Pointing the fork in her hand at him Santana glared "You will tell me everything."

"Can't." Matt held up his hand showing Santana a scar across his palm "Quinn made me promise never to tell you." Santana glared at the sleeping blonde in her lap, Quinn had the matching scar on her hand, blood pact. "She has to or maybe your dad, but I can't tell you."

"Call Ares."

"Eat something first." Matt pointed at her food.

"Give me that first." Santana held her hand out for the shot glass.

After giving Quinn the ambrosia Santana opened her box of food, Matt waited until she began eating to call Ares, Santana watched him pace by the door as he spoke to her father on the phone. Reaching out Brittany rubbed Santana's shoulder, they had no idea what Ares was going to tell them but Brittany wanted Santana to know she was still there.

Ares, of course, arrived immediately.

Santana had never seen him so worn down, although she was sure she looked just as crappy, "Are you sure you want to hear this?" Ares asked sitting at her feet. Finishing her food Santana handed the box to Matt nodding, sighing he glanced at Quinn still sleeping on Santana's lap and then Brittany who had also finished her food and was now paying attention. "She's not going to be happy I told you."

"I need to know, I can't protect her if I don't know what's going on."

Against his better judgement Ares told Santana everything, he saw the anger build up but she didn't explode like he thought she would, he figured it was because Brittany was holding her hand, lightly running her thumb across Santana's knuckles. Both girls glanced down at Quinn when Ares reached the part of what Quinn had done to the boys before he got there, "She was so broken." Ares looked at Quinn, pale with dark circles, she looked nothing like her normally vibrant self "She remained on edge for a few days before powering down and collapsing, it took days to get her back up to even half strength and when you woke up you just moved from your bed to hers and fell back to sleep."

"She blames herself for everything." Brittany said softly running her free hand over Quinn's shoulder.

"When they recovered the boys told their mother it was me, they weren't about to admit they were beaten by their younger sister and they never told their mother why, so she assumed I went after them because they went after a woman I was chasing. Then recently one of the boys let it slip that it was Quinn so Calliope flipped out and sent Lyssa."

"Mom texted me that you guys told Calliope the truth." Brittany said.

"We did, we took the goddess Themis and B'sst came too, the boys confessed everything, they knew they couldn't hide anything from the goddess of Truth. Calliope is dealing with them now." Ares explained.

"So Quinn's really in the clear?" Santana asked.

"Yes. Calliope said if she'd have known what they did and tried to do she would have castrated them herself, she has apologized for her past behavior. And when you and Quinn are up for it she would like to apologize to you."

"Considering she just tried to kill my sister that's going to be a while." Santana muttered.

"Just don't think differently of your sister now that you know." Ares requested.

Exhaling Santana thought for a moment before saying "She's the same bad ass that has done everything in her power to protect me, that's all I will ever think." Santana brushed her free hand over Quinn's hair. "Thank you for telling me Daddy."

Ares smiled hearing her call him daddy, "Anything and everything for you." standing up he kissed her forehead. "I'll check in on you." he tapped his phone.

"Okay." Santana nodded.

"I expect to be taken to dinner to properly meet this young lady." Ares nodded to the blonde holding his youngest daughters hand.

"Yes Daddy, once Quinn is up to it." Santana assured him.

Matt walked Ares to the door promising to stay with the girls while they recovered. "So who are the flowers from?" Matt whispered taking the over sized chair as the girls resettled on the couch.

"Someone named Kitty, I figured they were okay because of all the wards." Brittany said honestly.

Santana glanced at the table "Kitty's our niece she's Deimos's kid, she's Quinn's new assistant."

"Okay that makes sense now." Matt nodded picking up the book Santana had finished reading "There was a feisty blonde at the receptionist desk asking where Quinn was, I told her she was sick and either you or Quinn would get back to her, she said her name was Ms. Wilde." tossing the book back on the table Matt leaned back in the chair. "So what are we watching?"

"Food." Brittany yawned laying back down.

"We didn't want anything too noisy, it might disturb Quinn." Santana said honestly.

"I get that." Matt nodded.
