Guest 12/6/12. Chapter 2 Why you stopped writing/updating this story? It's really good! I think the numbers of reviews can talk for themself! 52 reviews in 2 chapters? It's a mean of 26 reviews per chapter and I am not counting with the people that read and don't review! It's pretty clear that people like your story so keep writing please! Update please! p.s. sorry about my bad English. Okay before I started my usually a/n, I wanted to address this review on fanfanfiction.net, since it's not the first time I've gotten one or a pm. I'm going to say the nicest way possible, I'm a single mother with a full time job so I don't have time to write all the time. My son and job come first. I write because I enjoy writing and you read because you enjoy it continually nagging me to update isn't going to get you a faster update. It'll serve to piss me off and kill the joy I have for this story. Some people forget that the writers here have a life outside of writing and I have someone important depending on me. Just because my updates are far apart doesn't mean I've abandon a story it just means I have other things that need my attention. I'm glad that people enjoy reading what I write and I'm thankful for the reviews/alerts/ favs I get, but I don't have a writing schedule and I can't keep one. Shit happens in my day to day life, work needing me to pull a double or my son gets sick. Or hell was the holiday season and then my son's birthday on the first. So with that in mind I want to thank everyone for their continued patience. I promise to update as often as I can which most often then not not is once a month.
Now for the usual disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any other characters but my own creations. This is chapter was hard for me to write because this is where everything changes for Quinn and Santana. I know there are people out there that hate Rachel or are mad at me for making her so hateful. But Rachel's always been a little selfish and self-centered in the show but never to this extreme. I made her this way on purpose, with a purpose a little patience and everything will come together eventually. Okay kiddies on with the show.
Chapter Three: The Ending

A year past since that day in the hospital, Mike was standing with Lucy in his arms at the backyard of his new house getting ready for Lucy Maria's first birthday party. They watch the people putting up a pink princess castle moon bounce the Chang's rented for the kids. At least they were attempting to but currently an overgrown child by the name of Santana was in there testing it out. You know just to make sure it's safe for her god daughter not because she enjoyed bouncing around in there. Mike shook his laughing at his friends antics, holding on to Lucy who was bouncing in his arms clapping and laughing wanting to join Santana in the fun.
The workers looked at her exasperated holding onto the house so it didn't go anywhere, but a small smile stayed on their faces as Santana did flip after flip. Laughing like a child because she hasn't done this since she was a cheerleader. With one last back flip Santana landed on her back slightly out of breath, she really needs to start working out more. She gave the two Chang's two thumbs up, "It's good Mikey."
Mike laughs cooing at Lucy, "Tía Tana is silly huh baby? Tía Tana needs to get her booty off the bounce so these nice men can finish pinning it down so you won't float away." Lucy grins, a nearly toothless grin at her Daddy babbling in baby talk pressing her wet fingers on his face.
Santana smiles rolling out of the castle until her feet hit the floor, "It's cool Mikey they don't mind, do you boys."
One of the younger men spoke with a thick New Yorker accent, "Naw ma'am, safety first and all that shit."
She gave the man a glare looking pointedly at the toddler behind him, "Language or I'll drop kick you a…butt out of here."
The man behind him slaps him in back of the head, "Sorry miss but my nephew has no home training and doesn't think before he speaks." He pushes his nephew to the bounce, "finish pinning down the castle so we can let these nice people finish getting ready for the party."
Santana watches them work for a moment before turning her amused face to Mike and Lucy. She smirks sashaying cooing at the baby, "And that's how Tía Tana gets things done, pequeña. Don't worry I'm going to teach you everything you need to know to be a serious bad a-s-s when you're older."
Mike flips the baby around making her squeal with laughter, "And that's why mommy says that Tía isn't allowed to be alone with you when you start dating."
Santana laughs taking the baby out of his arms, "No worries Lucy mommy can't resist the López charm so I'll be teaching you the ways of a bad a-s-s in no time."
Mike shakes his head, "I swear if Luce starts spelling that out Tina's going to have both of a-s-s and Quinn probably will too."
Santana lays Lucy's head down on her shoulder and covered her ear, "Quinn can spank me anytime she wants."
Mike glares kicking her leg lightly, "Lucy's right here Santana!"
Santana yelps, "Ouch god da-ng it Mikey! She couldn't hear, I covered her ears and it's not like she understood what I said."
She kneels down to put the baby down and Lucy immediately tried to crawl to the fun place her Tía just came from. She grunts realizes she not getting anywhere, looking over her shoulder she sees her Daddy holding onto her dress. She tries pouting since that always works but her Daddy was ignoring her and talking to her Tía. She sighs, sitting down wondering where her aunty Quinn was, she always lets her do what she wants.
Mike looks around to see if anyone was watching them when the coast looked clear he pulls out a baggy of weed, "Look what I took from the idiots that set up the tables."
Santana smirks, "You know that Tina is going to skin you alive if she catches you with that."
Mike flushes, "It's not like I'm going to start smoking it now but maybe Tina and I will smoke a joint later. After the party, away from Luce and the house."
Santana laughs, "Look at you Mikey, you're not as domesticated as I thought and Tina I always knew that she was a bad ass." She rolls her eyes when Mike shoots a glance at Lucy but the baby was too interested in her shoes at the moment, "Dude don't worry baby Chang isn't paying attention."
Mike sighs deciding now would be the ideal time to change the subject, "How are things going with Quinn?"
Santana bites her lip, "I think we're official stuck in the friend's zone and I missed my chance. Besides that crazy chick she's married to will not sign the divorce papers."
It's been a crazy year for all of the friends when Mike and Santana's business blew up after their newest artist Marley Rose's video went viral and now everyone wants them to manage or produce them. Brittany's the new choreographer and dancer for a Broadway show not to mention she's going on tour this summer with Ke$ha that she's super excited about. Puck did miss having Finn around but he understood the reason for everything and wasn't angry at anyone but him.
Santana spent most of her time with Quinn getting to know her better and what she found she loved. She knows that she may never get the chance and she's come to terms with it. As long as she's happy Santana's happy but that doesn't mean that it doesn't sting. Every day there's just something new from the way Quinn wrinkles her nose or the way she blushes whenever Santana flirts with her. But the thing in the way still is the crazy midget she's married too and it's not because Quinn is still holding a torch for her. No it's because the bitch is psycho and is practically stalking Quinn. Almost every time they're out to lunch or with their friends there she is making hobbit eyes at her. At least Quinn is holding strong and hasn't given in to the Gollum's seduction attempts.
Mike claps her on the shoulder sympathetically, "Don't worry San, I think she's half way in love with you but Rachel messed her up. Like a lot and she just needs time to heal, don't give up. I have faith in the fact that the old López charm will work its magic on her."
Santana looks up her brown eyes sad, "You think?"
Mike grinned, "She'll be a fool not to fall for you. I mean hell if I wasn't in love with Tina and you weren't a big lesbian then yeah I would be so into you."
Santana hits his bicep, "Idiot, you're my brother and that's just eww dude." Mike smile shrugging unabashedly, "But if I was into the third leg than you would be the type of man I would bang and marry. And also if I didn't see as my brother, you know because that would most def be eww to the tenth degree."
Mike saw through the smile and saw that his best friend was hurting and that kind of killed him. Here he was happy and content in his life with the woman he loves and will spend the rest of his life with. With a child he adores and loves more than his own life, he wants this for Santana. He needs for her to be okay and if Quinn's the reason she wakes up in the morning and reason she smiles than he's going to make that happen. He just needs to come up with a plan and who better to help than the love of his life. Tina knows Quinn better than anyone so she'll be the perfect partner in crime.
He smiles standing up, "I wouldn't worry San, you're a catch and so much better than Rachel could ever be."
Santana stands up grabbing Luce, "Enough of this emotional stuff Mikey because I'm starting to itch. It's supposed to be a party so ignore my emo moment and let's get this kicked off." She tickles the baby, "Right Luce." Her smile widens when Lucy babbles agreeing with her, "So how about you and me try this bouncy castle before the rest of the munchkins get here?"
Lucy nods clapping her hands, Santana winks at Mike and before he could stop her she takes off running to the entrance. Mike smiles at his little girl's squeals of joy as Santana bounces with her in her arms still.
Mike calls out warning her, "She just ate San that's not a good idea."
Santana grins giving him a raspberry, "Full stomach be darn my goddaughter is a bad a-s-s and that means bouncing with a full stomach."
Mike sighs, "Don't say that I didn't warned you."

Tina was in the kitchen putting the final touches on the food for the party with Quinn. She smiled at her blonde friend as she went on and on about her lunch date, excuse me not date, with Santana yesterday. She shakes her head wondering how blind Quinn could be not too see that Santana was head over heels in love with her. Or damn near close to it, that's she about to fall over the edge. If she was a gambler than she'd bet big bucks that Quinn was falling for the Latina as well. Not that she would admit it anytime soon since Rachel was a rash that didn't want to go away. It's been over a year hell almost two and she's still fighting it, no matter how many times Quinn refuses her phone calls or her invitations. Hell Quinn had to change her number so the psycho would stop calling her in the middle of the night. Quinn even had to hand her picture over to the door man of her building so she couldn't sneak in like she did, more than once.
Even after all that Tina had to admit she was kind of surprised that Quinn held strong and didn't take her back like the millions of times she did before. But like she said, Santana was the only element that was different. Damn her friend and her bullheaded stubbornness, it's going make her a lonely old cat lady if she isn't careful.
"I love the house T. It's so roomy, a perfect place to raise a baby," Quinn says drawing Tina out of her mental conversation.
She smiles, "I know as soon as I saw it I fell in love with it and Mikey did too. The only drawback it's far from the office and Mike as to take a train which he hates but it's worth it."
Quinn nods, "Yeah I miss my buddy being so close but maybe I'll get a house nearby so I can see my beautiful goddaughter more often."
Tina smirks, "Just your goddaughter? What about your oldest friend?"
Quinn rolls her eyes playfully, "Please I've seen you every day since we were in grade school, you won't even miss me."
Tina smiles again looking outside seeing Mike and Santana with Lucy laughing bouncing and tumbling in the castle. She understands perfectly that her friend is scared but she also knows that Quinn can't let fear rule her. She leans on the counter watching her friend closely, "So tell me how are things really are with San? I mean after my baby shower and that move you pulled."
Quinn flushes looking down that wasn't her finest hour and she was ashamed on how she used Santana, "At first we mostly saw each other for business but I still don't understand how she got me to be on her team. I know nothing about the industry only what I learned from listening to Rachel and her managers."
Tina smirks, "She has her ways that's for sure but that's not what I'm talking about and you know it."
Quinn smiles, "She kind of invited herself over for lunch one day and then dinner, after that we see each other mostly every day." Quinn shakes her head, "But after the way I tried to used her and the way she shoot me down, nothing more than that we're just friends now. I'm not surprised though, I was totally in the wrong and she's been nothing but sweet to me. I guess I read the signals wrong or I just completely screwed it up. Not that I blame her though, she didn't deserve to be a rebound or my band aid.
Tina sighs, her friend is clueless, "No I think you were right about Santana's feeling what they were and what they still are. But the timing was off you just left Rachel and she didn't take advantage you even though you were begging her to. That says a lot about how much you really mean to her." She smiles nudging her shoulder, "I've known Santana for over five years now so I know that likes you."
Quinn looks out dreamy expression, "How do you know? I mean you seem so sure but maybe she feels sorry for the desperate married woman so starved for attention that she threw herself at her."
"You're so damn stubborn Q, because for as long that I've known her she's had a different woman every night." Quinn frowns looking down, "But since she's known you I haven't seen or heard of her going out or hooking up once."
Quinn swallows, "How do know that's because of me? Maybe she's just bored with that scene."
Tina shakes her fist at her friend, "Because I've seen the way she looks at you when she thinks when no one's looking. I've seen the way her face lights up whenever you walk in the room. I've seen how she giggles like a school girl whenever you call her phone. She's not dating because she's waiting for you to be ready, just don't keep her waiting to long."
Quinn sighs, "She is hot, huh?" Tina bumps her hips laughing, "But I'm not…I'm not good enough for her yet. Not with Rachel still front and center making it impossible for me to move on. She deserves someone who can give her everything she's willing to give me." She looks out the window sadly, "And that's just not me but I can't until I close that chapter of my life that stars Rachel."
"Just promise me that you won't wait too long Rachel's already ruined half your life don't let her ruin what could be epic. Give Santana a chance to prove that she's the best thing for you." Quinn nods smiling little dreamily, "And speaking of the bitch, have you heard from the one you're trying to divorced?"
Quinn groans settling her head on Tina's shoulder, "Rachel used to calls me every Sunday at 7 until I changed my number. Then she moved on to appearing at my apartment every Tuesday until I got the door man to stop letting her in. So she started calling me at work every Tuesday at noon asking me to lunch until I asked Missy to stop putting her calls through. So then now every Monday she sends flowers to the office and invites me to dinner every Friday. I wish she'd get the message and just sign the damn divorce papers."
Tina smiles sadly, "She sucks as a wife and a person but I think that she did love you once upon a time. She's not the same Rachel you fell in love with but if I'm being honest I don't think that was even the real Rachel. I don't think she has a clue how she is to tell you the truth but maybe when she finally accepts the fact that she lost you then she'll become the person you saw." She kisses Quinn's hair, "Just because she's your first love doesn't mean that she was meant to be your forever love. I think that maybe it's that hot Latina outside acting like a fool with my daughter and my husband."
Quinn sniffles, "Maybe. Maybe if I get my shit together first but enough about the death of my marriage and my general emotional retardation this is a happy day. So let's talk about something else anything else that doesn't involve that."
Just than Mike and Santana walk in laughing loudly with Santana throwing a squealing Lucy in the air and catching her.
Tina scolds lightly, "You need to stop because she just ate."
Mike smirks kissing his wife's cheek, "I tried to warn her baby but she doesn't listen."
Tina rolls her eyes, "And you didn't think to just grab her Mike?"
He holds his hands up playfully, "I was scared that she'll go all Lima Heights on me babe. You know she's tiny but she's mean when she wants to be."
Santana smirks, "Damn right I am Boy Chang but Luce here has an iron stomach and she's a bad a-s-s like her Tía." She holds the baby above her head shaking her playfully, "You look good Quinn but then again you always look good."
Quinn blushes looking down but not before seeing Tina's 'I told you so' look, "You look good to San but I agree with the Chang's here. If you're not careful Lucy going to…"
Before she could finish her statement Lucy opened her mouth vomiting down her back just like everyone predicted. Santana squeals chanting, "Eww, eww" while handing the baby over to the closet person which happens to be Mike.
Quinn tried muffling her laughter but Santana turns to her glaring as fiercely as she could with vomit in her eye give. She gets a devious smirk that reminded Mike of their high school days, "Oh you think this is funny, do you Q?"
The blonde woman giggles backing away slowly, "Well we did try to warn you S, so you can't blame me for laughing."
Santana's smirk widens as she inches closer, "Oh really? I can't blame you?" She mocks, "Oh but I can blame you Quinnie but that's beside the point. The point is I think that I deserve a hug after the trauma I just had to endure."
Quinn wrinkles her nose adorably in Santana's opinion, "Um no that's okay S, I think I'll have to pass." She squeals dodging out of the way, "Maybe after you clean up I'll give you one but at the moment I think I'll have to regretfully pass the invitation."
Santana lunges forward missing purposely, ignoring the cackling from the peanut gallery, "Oh come on give me a hug Q."
"Eww no, San," Quinn yelps trying to run around the island in the middle of the kitchen.
But Santana finally puts an end to this game and catches Quinn around the waist, "Here we go that's better cuz I wants my hug and I wants it now." She nuzzles the squirming girl's neck wiping her face and the vomit on Quinn's shirt. "See this is better isn't Q? You should know by now that I'll use any excuse to have you in my arms."
Quinn laughs pushing her back, "Eww this is so gross San and you're a pain in my a…butt."
She laughs at the slightly breathless tone in the blonde goddess's voice and smears more on her shirt. She pulls away kisses her cheek lightly, "Maybe but I'm a loveable pain."
Tina grins pushing them apart, "Alright, alright I've had enough of this weird mating ritual that you two have going on but this is starting to smell gross." She pushes them to the stairs, "Go to my room and find something to wear before everyone gets here."

The party was in full swing a few hours later, after the whole baby vomit incident Santana hasn't left her alone since they came downstairs. Not that she minds she likes having the sexy Latina close and hmm she loves the way she smells. It's like sex in a bottle and she's just sex on legs, it's not fair that Rachel is still screwing with her life. Who knows what could happen, even after that disaster Santana was so sweet after it.
When Puck's brother Jake saw the beautiful blonde standing next to Puck's sexy friend, he knew he had to talk to her. He cornered her as soon as he caught her alone, which wasn't a lot Santana was at her side throughout most of the party. But when Tina asked Santana to get the presents out of their room, Jake swooped down like a Puckerman that caught of a whiff of a desperate divorcee. The thing he didn't understand was that, Quinn Fabray would never be desperate enough to be with a Puckerman.
Jake set down his drink and strutted to the window where Quinn was still standing waiting for Santana's return. As he neared he leered at her long legs and admired the shapely ass that was accentuated by the dress and skirt that seemed to be painted on. He planted on the famous Puckerman smirk and tapped Quinn on the shoulder and cleared his throat, "Hi."
Quinn was startled when she turned to see that it wasn't the person she wanted to see. Her lips quirked in amusement, "Hello, do I know you?"
Jake shook his head but he wasn't looking at her face since he was too busy looking down Quinn's borrowed shirt, "No but you will, very well in fact."
Quinn tilted her head, "And why is that?"
Jake smirk turn to a wide smile as he stuffed his hands in pocket, "Because I'm your future husband Jake Puckerman."
So to say that Quinn was highly amused at the situation while Santana looked ready to beat the littlest Puckerman with her ridiculously stylish heels. Jake better watch it because the tips look absolutely lethal.
Quinn laughed, "Really?" Jake nodded, "Quinn Fabray and I find that high impossible because for one I'm currently still married." Jake shrugged his shoulders, "And I'm a lesbian, so I don't think, no I know you don't stand a chance in hell."
Jake smiles, "That's hot and I so don't mind in fact…"
"You finish that statement little Puckerman and I'll be kicking you in the tiny Puckerman," a voice hisses from behind them.
Jake spins around startled at the fierce Latina ready to rip him apart, "Oh h-hey Santana I didn't know, I mean I didn't realize that…"
Santana glared at him and the rest of his statement died in his throat, "Didn't realize what? That you're an asshole and Quinn already said that she wasn't interested. Or did you think that 'I'm a lesbian' is actually code for porn fantasy?"
Jake flushes and looks down, "Or does 'I'm a lesbian' really mean to you that 'I'm gay until a real man fucks it out of me'?"
Puck walked up and cuffed his baby brother on the back of the head, "Don't mind Jakey boy here San, his was never properly trained." He pushes Jake in front of him, "Come on baby bro, its time I teach you a lesson on keeping Santana happy because she's one bitch that you don't want to piss off."
Santana smirks winking at Quinn they watch them leave for a moment, "And that's how you get rid of a douche bag."
Quinn smiles bashfully, she never been defended before. Every time she's was out with Rachel when she was networking, her soon to be ex-wife encouraged her to flirt with more disgusting men then Jake. She takes a deep breath remembering what Tina told her in the kitchen and she can see it clearly now. Santana really cares for her, not like a friend but they are friends and she protects her even from herself. So the only logical thing to do is too jump in with both feet and see where she lands.
Quinn tucks her hair behind her ear, "Santana…"
Santana tilts her head she doesn't like that face Quinn's making it's a face she hasn't seen before. She knows all of Quinn's faces, the way she scrunches her nose whenever she thinks that Santana was being too raunchy or the way she blushes when she catches Santana staring at her when no one else was in the room. The way she smiles when she moves in for the kill after she has someone where she wants them. She loves all of Quinn's faces, the way she looks at Lucy likes she's the best thing in the world or the way she looks at Santana like she's a puzzle like she can't quite figure out.
Santana swallows she knows when Quinn is happy or sad or ready to slowly rip someone apart by her words alone. Or the fake smile she gets when she doesn't want to be somewhere, but this… this is scary because she doesn't know what it means.
Santana licks her lips, "Yes Quinn?"
Quinn bites her lip for a second, "I don't think that I ever apologized for the way I treated you last year."
Santana smiles, "There's no reason too I understand what you were feeling at the time and I'm not holding it against you, Q. we all make mistakes when we're drunk but I'm not mad at you, honest."
Quinn sighs, "You might not be upset but I am you didn't deserve to be used like that so I'm sorry." Santana opens her mouth to speak but Quinn shushes her by holding a finger to her lips, "Not done yet sweetie. I was wrong and I'm not going to stand her and make excuse because I wasn't that drunk. I knew what I was doing and I knew what you felt for me because you show it every day. I don't have to guess about what you're feeling because you show me and tell me. That's not something I had with Rachel, with her it was like pulling teeth to get her to talk to me."
Santana snickers, "Yes I know big shocker right, Rachel Berry closed off? That person you met isn't the real her, I'm not even sure if she even knows the real her anymore. That smile was just her show face I'm not divorced yet and I really don't want to start anything with that hanging over our head."
Santana blinks catching on to what she said, "Our heads? As in you and me?"
Quinn nods, "Unless I misinterpreted the signs and you really don't like me and not that I can blame you. I mean after the way I tried to use you after the baby shower, but I…but I like you and if you're welling maybe you'd like to go out with me."
Santana feels her heart racing in her chest and she finds that she's having trouble breathing, "A real date with me, alone no friends or babies or co-workers or work? Just you and me?"
Quinn swallows nodding, "Yes you and me dinner maybe a-a-and dancing." She clears her throat, "I haven't done this in a long time so I'm not sure what one does on a date anymore." She was so nervous because Santana was just staring at her like...well she doesn't know, "Okay maybe I'm reading too much into the way we are together. Or maybe I ruined everything that could've been last year…"
Santana's brain kind of short circuited when Quinn said 'date' so she wasn't paying attention to her adorable little ramble until she started back tracking. "No! I mean yes date I would love a date with you, tonight. I'm free right now, I mean after the party. Yeah after the party we can go out then or screw the party we can leave after the cake."
Quinn smile, "I think that Tina and Mike would be upset with us if we skip out on our god daughter's first party."
Santana scowls, "Shit I didn't think about that, okay how about tomorrow then?"
Quinn smile widens, "Yes that would be perfect, tomorrow I go out on a date with Santana López, but…"
Santana shakes her head, "No but there are no buts, buts lead to bad things like you not going out with me, no me gusta, mujer linda."
Quinn laughs, "Buts are a bad thing?"
Santana flushes realizing what she said, "Well not your butt, it's perfectly fine beautiful even. It's better than mine and my butt is the finest thing in the room aside from yours."
The laughter and joys dies from Quinn's body when she sees Rachel walks in with Finn in tow. Quinn groans, "No freaking way."
Santana furrows her brow, "No way what?"
Quinn closes her eyes, "Rachel's here, what the hell is she doing here?"
Santana glares at the overgrown doofus and the annoying hobbit, "I don't know I know that Mike didn't invite them."
Mike and Tina walks up to them muttering, "I didn't invite them so I have no clue why they're here."
Tina hugs him around the waist, "Neither did I but we can sure as hell get them out of here before they make a scene."
Quinn shakes her head, "No I need to speak to her guys."
Santana swallows, "Why? I thought that we…"
Quinn looks up at her, "Oh don't worry San and you're not getting out of our date tomorrow that's a promise."
Mike looks at Tina smirking, "Date?"
Tina looks like she was about to burst at the seams, "Date seriously?"
Quinn smiles happily, "Yes a date but I want to do this right and I don't want to still be married while I start something new with Santana."
Santana smiles just as brightly, "Okay but just for the record counselor I don't like it. She's going to try and sweet talk her way back into your life."
Quinn nods leaning over to kiss her cheek, "Noted but it's still something that needs to be done."
Santana smile turns dreamy, "Okay but I'm throwing the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man out on his gelatin ass. I can promise not to have too much fun doing it if it makes you feel better."
The other three laugh not believing a word she said but Santana's lips curls telling them they are correct. Tina giggles, "You have fun doing that and I'm going to go save Luce from my Mom and make sure that she doesn't antagonize Mike's parents to much." She smiles kissing her husband, "Go play at being macho man, husband and make sure there's no blood shed this is a child's party after all."
Santana smirks, "I make no promises T." She cups Quinn's face tenderly rubbing her cheek with her thumb, "I understand that this is something that you need to do but I don't have to like it."
Quinn nuzzles her hand, "I know but I want a clean slate with you because you deserve someone that doesn't have any baggage."
Santana nods kissing her forehead before dragging Mike toward them with Puck and Sam follow behind them. Finn grins when he sees his friends coming his way and throws an arm around Rachel's shoulders but she shrugs him off of her. She didn't even come here with him she just happened to meet him at the door. Now the overgrown monkey thinks that they can continue that mistake she made at Tina's wedding.
"Hey guys," Finn bellows and holds up a present in his huge sausage fingers. "I brought this for Lee."
Santana glares stalking closer, "Her name is Lucy dumb ass…"
Sam grabs his arm discreetly ushering Finn out the door, "Come on I got something to show you outside buddy."
Rachel breaks away from the crowd not bothering to look Santana in the eyes and makes a bee line to Quinn. Her wife gives her a look before going into the kitchen and out the back door away from the rest of the guest. She smiles when she sees Quinn standing underneath a tree next to the abandoned bouncy castle. She walks thinking of all the things she's was going to say after over a year of being without her it left an empty feeling she didn't want to experience ever again.
"Quinn," she breaths coming up next to her. "I glad that you decided to allow me a chance to explain myself to you. I've missed you, Quinn I've missed my best friend and my wife."
Quinn swallows, "I've missed my friend too Rachel." She backs away when Rachel tries to hug her, "I missed the girl I feel in love with. I miss looking up at the stars and telling you that you're going to be the brightest one, one day. I miss the sitting on the couch snuggling up to our favorite movie. I miss dancing around the apartment without any music save for the one in our heads."
Rachel sighs, "Quinn…"
Quinn brushes away a stray tear, "I'm not done yet, Rachel." Her breath comes out shaky, "I miss the girl I thought you were not this woman who cheats and lies to me. I don't miss crying myself to sleep when you don't come home. I don't miss pretending that I don't see the makeup on your clothes aren't my shade. I don't miss pretending that I don't know who calls you late at night."
Rachel flinches when Quinn's cracks, "I know and I'm sorry, I can't even begin to tell you who sorry I am for the way I treated you. Please give me another chance," Rachel pleads. "Let me prove how much I changed because I've been going to therapy trying so I can understand the why I do the things I do."
Quinn looks at her for the first time since they started talking surprised, "You have?"
Rachel nods, "The therapist has been extremely helpful and I'm confident that I'll be able to stay faithful from now on." She reaches out uncrossing Quinn's arms, holding her hand, "Please baby I love you."
Quinn blinks back tears yes there's a part of her that wants to give in but there's a bigger part of her that's screaming at her not to. "You love me Rae?" Rachel nods, "And you want to prove that you've changed?" Rachel nods again squeezing her hand, "Then let me go…"
Rachel gasps feeling her heart stutter, "What?"
Quinn's green eyes shining in the dark, "Let me go, please. Sign the divorce papers and let me go because I can't do this anymore with you. I don't have it in me anymore to give you another chance. I'm drowning here because of you and your lies and my weakness."
Rachel whimpers, "But I love you Quinn more today than yesterday or the first day we met."
Quinn closes her eyes, "I love you too Rae. I've loved you since I was 15 and there's going to be a part of me that will always love you but…but I'm not in love you anymore."
They felt their hearts break at the same time, painfully and with finality. Rachel lets Quinn's hand slip from her finger struggling not to break down in mourn sobs, "If, if this is what you want Quinn than I will sign them for you."
Quinn sobs, "It's not what I want but it's what I need Rachel. I don't know who I am with you anymore. I don't know who I am period but I know I can't be with you anymore."
Rachel swallows over the lump forming in her throat, it's really over. She knew it but she didn't want to believe it but she has no one to blame for herself. Rachel cries silently and kisses Quinn cheek wishing the ground would open up and suck her in but she knows that Quinn's right and it never could be the same. Not after she did, "I'll have the papers signed and on your desk by Monday. I will tell my lawyer not to contest it anymore and I don't want anything financially from you." She pauses taking in a deep shuttering breathe, "I know that this is all my fault but it doesn't make it hurt any less. I know that I'm not good enough for you, I was never good enough for Quinn Fabray but I've loved you since I was 15 that's half my life. I know that I'm never going to love anyone else like you or better than you ever again."
"Rachel…"
The smaller brunette shakes her head, "No Quinn it's the truth, but I can't keep going this to you I've been selfish enough." She looks down at her hands, "Do, do you think that it's possible for us to be friends again?"
Quinn wipes her eyes shrugging, "Not right this minute but maybe in the future when it doesn't hurt anymore. Maybe then we can be friends, but I can't be close to you and have it hurt."
Rachel steps back each breaking her heart, "I need to leave I can't be here anymore. I can't, I just can't…"
Rachel looks up her eyes the saddest Quinn has ever seen, "I love you Quinn and I always will." Rachel turns around running to the front of the house leaving behind the woman that's was her heart.

Santana closes the door behind her softly before pushing Finn off the steps sneering at the shocked expression on his constipate baby face. Santana smiles pushing Finn further down the drive way away from the house, "Who you said you can come to the party puffy pyramid nipples?"
Finn looks up confused, "Dude Mike's my friend too and so is everyone else here just because Rachel wants me and not that stuck up bitch it doesn't give you the right to…"
Mike barks out a sharp laugh, "Dude you fucked my wife's best friend's wife in the middle of my wedding. You almost ruin my fucking wedding where the hell do you get off thinking that we're still friends?"
Finn smirks, "Rachel's not a queer like Santana, she just needed some dick to straighten her out. I mean Quinn's hot and everything but she's obviously not giving Rachel what she needs a good fuck."
Santana slips off her shoes then cracks her neck before launching herself at Finn yelling in Spanish. She tried to kick him but Sam catches her around the waist and pulls her back.
Mike looks over at his friend's red angry face then turned back to Finn sucker punching him when he was smirking at Santana. Finn's head snaps back his lips and nose bleeding, "Finn, never come near my family again or I swear I'm going to let Santana loose on your ass."
Finn looks at Puck surprise written all over his face, "Dude? Puck, come on bro we've been friends forever."
Puck shakes his head his face closed off, "I don't think so man not this time dude, you went too." He looks away, "I'm through carrying your ass we're not kids anymore, man up for once."
Finn huffs, "Is this all just because the bitch's feeling are hurt that Rachel wants me?"
"Don't be so sure of that Finn," Rachel says as she steps out from out of nowhere smiling tightly as she walks up to Finn. Finn being the idiot that he is grins smugly until she slaps him suddenly in the same spot Mike just punched him, "You will never ever speak of my wife like that again." Her voice trails off but Santana hears her mutter, "My ex-wife. My soon to be ex-wife." She walks over to Mike and kisses his cheek, "I apologize for ruining another party I promise never to do it again."
"Rach I thought we had something special," Finn says confused.
"My name is Rachel, you idiot not Rach or Rachie the only person who gets to give me a nickname is my…is Quinn. You would think that my avoiding you since the wedding would be a clue that I thought was a mistake." She pauses laughing bitterly because she was doing the same thing to Quinn. God Finn's stupidity must be was rubbing off on her, "What part of that do you not understand? I used you then because I couldn't get into Santana's pants and I wanted to feel desirable but I don't like you. I didn't like you than and I don't like you know so please leave me alone. I never want to see you again."
Finn face flushed angrily as he stomped off, "Screw you! Screw all of you!"
She turns to walk away but turns back grabbing Santana by the shirt pulling her down so they were eye level, "Please take care of her and treat her better than I ever did." Thinking the hell with it kisses Santana briefly, she sighs Santana's lips are magic just like she always thought.
Santana jerks her head back glaring at the midget, "I've told you before never to touch me Berry and we're not together."
Rachel smiles, "No not yet but I won't be surprised if it happens. I'm happy though well not happy that I lost my wife but if I'm going to lose her then I'd rather it be you than someone else. You're good for her better than I ever was." She steps back smiling sadly, "She's in the back of the house, I'm sure she needs you and can you tell that when she's ready to be my friend again I'm waiting. Tell her…never mind just treat her right Santana."
Santana stares at Rachel as she walks away before running to the backyard. She finds Quinn kneeling on the ground painful sobs rocking her delicate frame. Quinn jumps surprised when she feels someone touch her but quickly relaxes when she smells Santana's perfume. Santana holds her not saying a word because she knows that Quinn needs this time to grieve her marriage. Even though they have a date planned for tomorrow, she can wait. She can wait as long as Quinn needs because when the time comes it's going to be worth the wait.

After the party ended the girls didn't go on their date the next night as planned but it was Santana not Quinn who postponed it. Quinn argued that they waited long enough but Santana stated that Quinn wasn't ready and that was okay. Quinn knew that Santana was right but it didn't mean that it didn't sting a little. But she was ready now all she had to do was woo a certain Latina that's been on her mind, since forever.
Even though the girls didn't go on their date they did spend every minute of the next three months flirting and every minute they weren't together they spent wishing they were. Santana was thinking about asking Quinn out on that date finally. She wanted to speak to Mike about it but he had a date planned with his own wife and wasn't able to speak until the next day. It's alright though she'll see him tomorrow they'll talk about how to woo Quinn then.
That night after work Quinn laying on her bed with her divorce papers in hand. This was it she was free her divorce was final now that, "Rachel stopped contesting it and the judge pushed it through."
Tina sighs, 'That's good so you can move on with your life now and finally take out that extra sexy brunette that's been swooning over you since you've met.'
Quinn huffs, "I asked her out on Lucy's birthday remember? But she's the one that wanted to postpone it and it's not like I can blame her though. She wanted to be sure that I wasn't still hung up on Rachel but enough of that how's my name sake doing?"
Tina laughs, 'She's good but I can't get the stinker to say 'Mommy'. She babbles 'Daddy' all the time but not 'Mommy'.'
Quinn laughs too, "Awww don't worry I bets she's going to say it pretty soon so you don't have to cry."
'Oh fuck off Fabray! I'm not crying it just sucks that I can't get my baby to say 'Mommy',' she hears the doorbell ring in the background. 'Oh there's the sitter and she's actually here on time for a change.' She hears Tina walking around, 'I have to tell the girl we're leaving a half an hour early or else we'll never leave on time but Luce loves her and she's really good with her. Okay I have to go Mike taking us out but it's not our anniversary so I have no idea why he wants to go out.'
Quinn laughs, "Maybe he just wants to spend time with his wife kid free for a change. Now stop bitching and go have some fun, give Luce a kiss for me and tell Mike I said hi."
She hears Tina opening the door, 'You got Q, let's have lunch tomorrow okay?'
Quinn tosses the papers onto the bed, "Yeah that sounds like a plan, I love you sis."
'I love you too,' she sounded surprised but happy, 'but I have to go, night.'
Quinn didn't get a chance to reply because Tina already hung up the phone. She shrugs her shoulder biting her lips she decides to call Santana and see what she's up to tonight. Maybe she'll come over to have dinner with her and watch a movie.
It was midnight when the phone rings again Quinn answered it quickly thinking that Santana left something here after she left. Quinn was in a state of shock when she was told about the accident and she was driving on pure instincts when jump out of bed ran to her car. She was on auto pilot the whole way to the hospital. And she was positive that she was stuck in a nightmare when the ER doctor told her that they died on impact. She had to be in a nightmare because Tina and Mike did not just die in a head on collision because some drunk driver ran a red light. She had to be asleep still because they would never leave Lucy alone. It was all wrong. It wasn't them. They had to be wrong.
Quinn blinked realizing that the doctor was holding her up when her knees collapses under her. She places a hand on the wall feels strong arms around her taking the place of the doctor's. She turns to find Santana crying with a mournful wail escapes her lips as she sinks down to floor taking Santana with her. The doctor and police look on uncomfortable as they give them space to try and collects themselves.
Santana was the first one to find her voice, "What about their baby? Was there a baby in the car?" Even to Santana, her voice sounds raw, "Mikey has a one year old was she there?"
Quinn whimpers in her neck, "She's still with the sitter San. They went out to dinner remember?"
Santana looks down nodding her head, "What's going to happen to Luce?"
The police officer clears his throat, "CPS will probably take her until her guardian comes and gets her unless you two know who they named?"
Quinn lifts her head, "I have a copy at my office so I'll get it. I don't want Lucy to spend any time in the system if I can help it."
The officer nods, "Okay ill have someone drive you to your office since I don't think that you're in any condition to drive. In the meantime someone needs to identify the bodies, since you two where named their emergency contacts you can do it."
Santana stands up helping Quinn to her feet, "I'll do it and you go take care of Luce." She pulls Quinn into a tight hug, "We'll be okay. Everyone's going to be okay."
For the first time since Quinn met Santana she doesn't believe her, nothings ever going to be okay again but she nods anyway. She turns to walk unsteadily to the doors, Santana watch her until the doors closed behind her. What Quinn didn't know, Santana didn't believe it herself, nothing's going to be okay again.
It was almost three in the morning when they walked into Quinn's apartment after they find out that they have custody of Lucy. They stood in shock at the turn of events. They lost a piece of their hearts but now they have a baby to take care of and neither one is sure if they could do it. Santana sits on the couch with Lucy whimpering in her neck, she's been doing that since they walked out of Mike and Tina's house.
Quinn's voice still raw, "She probably needs a bottle or something…"
Santana nods looking down to see sad, heartbroken brown eyes watching her. Lucy was exhausted, Quinn was a mess and she's just lost and she doesn't have a clue to what they're going to do now.
