We Found Love ch. 1

Santana's P.O.V

I can't fuckin believe that I'm fuckin doing this or that my life fuckin turned out like this but it's the only way that I know to provide for me and Angel. I'm putting on my lace bra with the matching panties along with black stilettos. I have another 5 minutes before I'm up on stage dancing for group of grabby men putting ones and fives in my cleavages. I can't fuckin believe that I have sunk so low as stripping for money in a fuckin strip. Yes, Santana Lopez is a stripper but it's the only way that I can pay the rent and feed my daughter and it's not like my good for nothing baby daddy is gonna help since he's not part of either of ours but I say good riddance.

I don't need him and neither does Angel but he wouldn't fucked us over one way or another. I don't have an education to get a better job than this and it's not like anyone would hire me without some kind of degree that I don't have. It's sucks hell that I can't give my baby girl a better life than living in a small crappy apartment in Lima. It's been 6 years since I graduated form McKinley and I planned for my life to turn out this way at all but I guess that I had it coming.

I have never been the nicest of people… okay, okay I've been a total manipulative bitch to everyone and I have pushed everyone away including Brittany who love through everything but she's gone to California living out her dreams with Stubbles McCripplePants. I had this coming ever since Rachel Berry told me that the only job that I would get was on a pole and looks like the hobbit had called it. I bet that she's in New York making her onto Broadway like she always claimed that she would in Glee while I'm in Lima scrapping by.

It's funny how things work themselves out but the stage manager knocks on my door to tell me that it's time. I take in a deep sigh and follow them to the back of the stage where I'm performing in front of a packed house, I just hope that my daughter never finds out what I do for living. I hear the DJ introduce me to the stage while playing Pour It Up by Rihanna as I strutted out onto the stage.

I sway my hips to the beats as I twirled around the pole as I tuned everything and everyone out. It's the only that I'm able to get through my shifts as the money starts flowing and the cat-calls are thrown my way but I ignored it because I'm used to men objectifying because I'm just a hot piece of meat to them. I hate the gnawing feeling in the pit of stomach because I never want Angel to go that because I want her to feel beautiful and comfortable in her own skin. I don't want her to rely on her looks and her body to get where she wants go because I know that she's better that.

The 5 year old is too pure and beautiful for this world and I will do anything to protect from the cruelty of this world even though she's seen more than I would've liked her too but she keeps her innocence. I'm glad that Angel looks exactly like me instead of her bastard of a father but sometimes she's a little too much like me. I somehow get through my shift with a little bit over a two hundred bucks in tips from my cleavage which means that I can pay my light bill this month. I quickly change into my regular and remove all of the slutty stripper makeup off of my face before slipping on my leather jacket.

I walked out of the back of the club and walk home to my baby girl to get some long overdue sleep. The only good thing about working at the Kitty Cat club is that I get to spend most of the afternoon with my favorite 5 year old before going in for work. I do wish that I had more time to spend with her but I guess beggars can't be choosers because I hate leaving her with a babysitter. I could be using that money on bills or Angel instead of that pizza faced teenager that's always giving me dirty looks like she's fuckin better than me but she's fuckin not.

She wish that she had a body like this even after having a baby because I still got it. I walked home and paid the little bitch before she left as she muttered something under her breath that I couldn't hear and she's lucky that I didn't hear her or I'll go all Lima Heights on her ass. I walked into my and Angel's bedroom to see that she's fast asleep as I smile fondly at my princesa. I strip down to my tank top and boy shorts before climbing in the bed without waking her up. I look down at my beautiful little girl and admire at how she looks like me from her long curly black hair to her evenly tanned skin to her expressive brown eyes that holds so any expressions.

This little girl is my whole world and I will protect her with everything that I got and someday I will be able to give her the life that she so much deserves. I wrap my arms around Angel, pulling her closer to me before kissing the top of her head.

"Mami, you're back" Angel said snuggling into to me.

"I told you that I would come back, baby girl. Go back to sleep, it's late" I said kissing her forehead.

"Can we go to the park tomorrow?" Angel asked sleepily.

"Yeah, we'll go to the tomorrow but you'll have to sleep first"

"Okay, te amo Mami" Angel said going to sleep.

"Te amo princesa, te amo" I said falling asleep myself.

As soon as I close my eyes for a split second, I have fuckin open them again to see that it's morning and my bitch of a neighbor is walking her around in her heels at fucking 8 am on a fuckin Saturday. One of these day she's gonna make catch a case for first and second degree murder her ass. I rolled over to see that Angel isn't in bed anymore. I scrabble to my feet before running out into the living room find her sitting in the living room with a bowl of cereal in her lap while watching cartoons on our slightly broken tiny ass TV.

I sigh in relief because I have to get new locks on our door because the old one are ancient and don't work. I'm always worried that one day someone is gonna walk up in and just abduct my daughter while I'm not looking. That scared the shit out of me and try not leave her alone too often if I can help it. I get a good look at 5 year old to see that she had dressed herself in a her red Power Ranger shirt, yellow rain boots, a knitted hat, green shorts that are on backwards and a pink tutu that I don't remember buying or her having at all. I chuckled at her choice in wardrobe but I'm gonna have to change outfit slightly.

"Hola hija, veo que te cenita" I said chuckling.

"Si, te gusta?" Angel asked grinning.

"Me gusta but it's a little too out there for everyone to really appreciate so how about we go change, si?"

"But I don't wanna. Everyone is stupid except you, Mami" Angel whined.

"I couldn't agreed more, baby girl but I wasn't asking you what you wanted now come on" I said turning serious.

"Okay" Angel said getting up.

She gets up and makes her way towards the bedroom. I ruffled her hair as she passes me and I can see a smile tugging at the edges of her lips. Ii follow behind and grabbing some clothes before going into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I dried myself as I put a simple black V-neck that shows a little bit of my cleavage but not too much since I kinda stop wearing anything that's too provocative since I become somebody's mother. I slipped on a pair of blue skinny jeans before applying some light makeup to my face when Angel walks into and hops on the sink.

"Mami, why do you wear makeup?" Angel asked titling her head to the side.

"Because it makes me look pretty" I said smiling.

"But you're already pretty. You're the most beautiful girl that I know" Angel said smiling.

"Awww thank you baby girl and you're the most beautiful little girl that I know" I said kissing her on the cheek.

Angel had changed out of ridiculous outfit and went for the red t-shirt and shorts with some sneakers. I think that she looks Christmas but I like Christmas… normally but as a outfit no but she like it and that's all that matters. I put a jacket on her before we left the apartment and I make sure that I have my keys and wallet too. I can't have people stealing my hard on money while I'm out because I don't play that shit with no one. We walked out of the apartment complex and onto the sidewalk towards the park.

It's a bit of ways but I know that Angel will enjoy playing with ducks as well as the other children her own age because she doesn't get out much with me dead tired from my job. We walked for awhile before finally reaching the park when the 5 year old drags me the rest of the way to the lake where the ducks are. I sit down on the glass watching Angel chase the baby ducks around and I giggle at her antics because she's the only one besides Brittany that loves ducks and want to visit on a daily basis.

My heart aches at the thought of the blonde dancer because if I hadn't been too chicken shit to come out then we would still be together now, living somewhere and planning out our future together away from Lima fucking Ohio. I missed my chance because of my stupid insecurities and lost the only person that truly loved to boy who's don't even work. How I lost out to a Stubbles McCripplePants, I don't know and honestly I don't wanna know. Even out of this fucked up situation the only good thing is that I managed to get a beautiful little girl that loves me with all her heart and looks up to me… well looks up to everyone but still.

I like having someone to rely on me because I'm a protector and that's what I do, I protect and I don't need anyone else in my life. I'm doing fine on my own and I don't need anyone else's help not even my parents because they're jackasses. They don't deserve to know me or be in Angel's life and I don't want them in her life. Anyone that are willing to disown their daughter because she makes a mistake by getting pregnant are someone that I don't want in my life. I didn't need their help when I was pregnant and I don't need their help now since I make my own way.

"Mami, I caught a baby duck" Angel said running up to me with a duckling in her hands.

I giggle as the ducklings following behind her. Angel runs to me and shoves the duckling at me as it quacks softly in my face. The other one quack around her feet as they jump her.

"I see that but you want to take them back to the lake before their Mami get worried about them" I said petting one of them.

"I don't want their Mami to get worried. Come on ducks, back to the lake" Angel said pointing at the lake.

She runs off again with the ducklings quacking behind her as I shake my head at me. Ay dios mio, my daughter.

Rachel's P.O.V

I'm back in Lima Ohio, visiting my Father for the summer since I could use a break from Broadway for awhile. I know that it is a risky move on my part but I miss them and I could use a break from frame for awhile. I am entitled to a break at some point to get refreshed and renewed plus I could catch with some of my friends that are still here.

I know that Finn, Puck and Sugar still here since they decided not to leave and pursue lives here. I know that Finn is teaching the football team as well as being the couch for Glee when Mr. Schue decided to retire. I heard that he's dating someone and I'm glad that he has finally moved on from final breakup while finding someone else in the process. The former quarterback deserves that much. I'm not sure what Sugar as being doing this the original members of New Direction left but I can always find out but I hear that Puck is doing well with his pool cleaning business. I'm snapped out of my unpacking by light knocking on my door and I turn to see that it's Dad.

"Hey baby girl, finish unpacking up here?" Dad asked smiling.

"Almost Dad, it is Daddy making dinner?" I asked putting away the last of my things.

"Yes and he's almost done. I can't believe that you're going to be here for the whole summer" Dad said jumping up and down.

"I know and I could really use the down time to visit my two favorite fathers" I said smiling.

"We're your only fathers" Dad said rolling his eyes.

"And that's why you're my favorite" I said kissing his cheek.

"Plan to see anyone from high school?" Dad asked curious.

"Maybe Finn and Puck but not sure who else is still in Lima" I said shrugging.

"I think that one girl is still here. That one cheerleader" Dad said scratching his head.

"Quinn Fabray?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"No the brunette and I think she has a daughter" Dad said shrugging his shoulder.

"Santana Lopez" I said surprised.

"Yes, that's one. Her Father Carlos with Daddy at the hospital" Dad said nodding.

I haven't heard anything from Santana since graduation because all of the problems between us in high school even thorough I have tried to reach out to her towards the end of our senior year. She is part of the reason why my high school experience was as bad as it was and why I could not wait to move to New York with Kurt. The Latina would make fun of me and call me mean spirited nicknames that weren't too far from the truth. You see that I am born with a penis instead of a vagina and I would wear compression to hid it from everyone.

I was lucky that no one ever found out about it with the help of Puck who's my best friend at the time and is still my best friend. He made high school slightly more bearable even though he was on the football team and managed to get the school to stop throwing slushies at me during senior year. I had expect my did boyfriend to do that since he was on the football team but he only wanted to get into my pants which never happened. Finn was a bit idiot and didn't know what he wanted while constantly changing his mind about wanting to be with me or Quinn.

It made this pretty bad between the blonde and I for awhile but we decided to work out our problems and managed to become very close friends. We text, call, and Skype each other while we both in college in New York and now she's engaged to Joe. She had asked me to be her maid of honor for the wedding last week and I happily agreed but it makes feel slightly lonely now she's getting married.

I know that Mike and Tina are married and are expecting their first child, Mercedes and Sam are dating and growing stronger every days, Kurt and Blaine engaged as well as Artie who had just proposed to Brittany and Finn is dating someone. Just about everyone in Glee is paired up someone except me and Puck who I highly doubt would want to settle down anytime soon and I assumed that Santana is happily married with a child. I have my career and I won't change that for the world because I have finally reached my dream of being on Broadway after everything that I been through but it is lonely.

Maybe I'll find someone over the summer… who knows what might happen.

Hola hija, veo que te cenita- Hi daughter, I see that you dressed yourself in Spanish

Te amo- I love you

princesa- princess

Me gusta- I like

Te gusta- You like

My Spanish isn't that good so I used Google Translate to help so if anything is wrong I apologize for it.
