R&R! I don't own Glee. (Oh and ALL mistakes are my own, I know there is many.)

"Oh my god!" Is the shout that startled both young women awake at 6:12 the following morning. Rachel immediately sat up and looked towards the door as a scowling Santana stalked across the room towards her.

"San." Rachel said sleepily.

"Don't 'San' me. You never replied to any of my texts last night and now I find you in bed with the culprit!" Santana practically yelled and Quinn groaned beside Rachel.

"Santana, what the fuck, why are you even awake! Its barely after 6 on a Saturday!" Quinn said in a clearly annoyed tone.

"Well someone didn'tt want to let me know that shewasn't't tied up in some crazy sex dungeon being forced into all kinds of deprivating things so couldn'tnt sleep." Santana grumbled as she glared down at the pair on the bed.

"Santana, as you can see I am fine. I had my phone on silent because it was a date and I didn't want to be interrupted." Rachel explained sounding frustrated as she flopped back on the bed.

"Yeah well a courtesy text would have been nice." Santana grumbled.

"Jesus Santana, Rachel is fine now get out I want to go back to sleep!" Quinn gave Santana a withering glare and Santana actually stepped back.

"fine, but I will be here when you get up, and if I hear any funny business-" Santana was cut off by a frustrated Rachel.

"Santana! Get out! Sheesh, its too early for sex or lectures. We will be down in an hour or so." Rachel said frustratedly.

Santana held her hands up in surrender and backed out of the bedroom closing the door and stomping downstairs. It was a fair bet that the dads were already awake and in the kitchen as they typically always woke up at 5:30am to be downstairs by 6.

Quinn reached out and grabbed the brunette pulling the smaller form into her and snuggling back down into the warm bed almost instantly going to sleep. Rachel snuggled into her girlfriend and sighed contentedly before falling back to sleep as well.

Santana stalked back down into the kitchen and sat down heavily at the counter, a coffee was almost immediately placed in front of her and she looked up and smiled at the Misters Berry. The smiled back down at her and each of them kissed her on the head before sitting or leaning beside her.

"You mad at Rachel sweetie?" Leroy asked gently to the volatile Latina.

"Nah not really. Would have been nice to get a message but I know Quinn wouldn't have done anything stupid. I was just worried things wouldn't turn out and Rach would have been crushed. Why are they in bed together anyway?" Santana asked frowning at the two men.

"Oh, well Mrs. Fabray kind of caught them in bed together." Leroy said slowly.

"They weren't having sex... yet." Hiram said when he saw the shocked look on Santana's face.

"Well anyway, Mrs Fabray kicked Quinn out so we are letting her stay here as long as she likes." Leroy finished when the Latina didn't speak.

"God, you guys are the absolute best." Santana said finally as she beamed at the two men.

"You're too sweet." Leroy chuckled as he hugged the young woman.

"No just honest. Hey if they get up can you tell them I will be back later?" Santana asked as she stood up and chugged her coffee before sitting the cup in the sink.

"Of course honey." Hiram smiled at the girl.

Santana smiled and bounded out the front door and the two men turned to look at each other completely perplexed before they chuckled lightly and hugged each other.

"That's the first time I have seen her up before 7 and she was even bouncing." Leroy said against the taller man's chest.

"I know, pinch me, i'm sure I'm dreaming." Hiram chuckled.

Santana wasn't seen again until after lunch and the Berry's plus one Quinn Fabray were sitting in the lounge playing a board game when she came stomping into the house and sat heavily beside Quinn without a word. The small group looked at the Latina curiously as Santana was sporting a bright hand print on her face.

"S... What happened to your face?" Quinn asked tentatively.

"Nothing, don't worry about it. What are we playing?" Santana asked dejectedly.

"Uh... Monopoly." Hiram spoke with raised eyebrows.

"I'll bank." Santana pulled the tray of fake money in front of her and looked up with a look that told the family to drop it.

The small family played monopoly the rest of the afternoon and Santana's mood lightened considerably as the hours passed but it was clear that there was something on the Latinas mind. None of the small group wanted to raise her ire so opted for leaving her to her thoughts. Finally dinner time rolled around Santana said she had to leave.

They all said bye and the Latina left. Hiram offered to cook them all dinner but Quinn smiled and shook her head saying she wanted a do over date with Rachel and would like to take her to Breadstix. The men smiled as the girls went upstairs to change into some nicer clothes.

Quinn came down first in a pair of black slacks and a well fitting white blouse, she was in the kitchen talking to the dads when Rachel walked in wearing a tight black skirt and a black tank under a dark blue cardigan. Quinn smiled brightly upon seeing her and the two men could see that the blonde was clearly smitten with their daughter.

"I hope you have a nice night girls. If you come home late don't wake your dad and I up." Leroy always spoke warmly around Rachel.

"No problem Mr. Berry." Quinn smiled at the man.

"Quinn darling, call me Leroy." The shorter man said kindly.

"Of course Leroy." Quinn smiled wider.

Rachel thread her hand into Quinn's and gave her a little tug. The two girls said their good-nights and left. Quinn opened the passenger door of her car for Rachel causing the smaller girl to giggle before she herself slid behind the wheel of the car.

The drive was spent in companionable silence and when they made it to the restaurant they climbed out of the car and walked inside hand in hand smiling as they went. They were about to slide into an empty booth when they heard their names being called.

Turning they saw Brittany and Artie waving too them a couple of tables away gesturing for them to come over. Quinn looked to Rachel questioningly and when the brunette shrugged and smiled they went over and joined their friends.

"Hey guys, what are you two doing here together?" Artie asked with a smile.

"Oh right I didn't tell you, Rachel wants lovely lady kisses from Quinn." Brittany was grinning as she spoke.

"And she gets them." Quinn added with a smile as she bumped Brittany's shoulder in a companionable way.

"No way! You two are dating?!" Artie asked clearly shocked.

"I feel that's going to be the response we get from everyone." Rachel muttered with a smile in Quinn's direction.

"Of course it is. Quinn hated you for a long time." Artie was frowning now.

"I never hated Rachel, I just didn't know how to take her." Quinn said blushing deeply.

"Its ok Quinn. The past is the past for a reason." Rachel smiled as she rubbed the blondes thigh under the table.

Quinn returned the smile and leaned over and placed a light kiss to the smaller girls cheek earning and 'aw' from the couple across from them. Both girls blushed as they looked back at Brittany and Artie.

"You guys don't mind us crashing your date?" Quinn asked curiously.

"Oh this isn't a date." Artie said and Rachel witnessed Brittany's blush.

"It isn't?" Quinn was kind of confused.

"No actually we broke up last night." Artie was smiling albeit sadly.

"You broke up?" Rachel asked now also confused.

"Yes. Brittany's feelings for Santana are a lot stronger than they are for me. And if i'm being honest i'm a romantic heart. I cant stand in the way." Artie reached over and patted a quiet Brittany's hand.

"But Sanny doesn't know?" Rachel asked still very confused.

"No, Brittany wants to make a grand gesture so I told her I would help her out with it." Artie explained.

Quinn and Rachel's frowns soon turned to large smiles as the situation was fully explained too them and they soon found themselves on board with Operation: Lady kisses with Santana. Obviously Brittany came up with the name.

It was a couple hours later when Brittany and Artie said they should be heading home and after the goodbyes Quinn turned to Rachel and smiled brightly. Leaning over Rachel pressed a soft, brief kiss to the blondes lips and was about to pull away when Quinn's hand curled around the nape of her neck and pulled her back in for a longer less chaste kiss.

When they pulled apart they were both smiled broadly and looked a little dazed. Quinn was the first to come back to reality when she looked at her phone and saw that it was still kind of early. She looked back at her short girlfriend smiling.

"How would you feel about going to see a movie?" Quinn asked as she moved her hand from Rachel's nape around to trail her fingertips over the brunettes collar bone.

Rachel bit her lip and swallowed heavily blushing slightly at effect Quinn's touch had on her body and she had to clear her throat in the hopes that her voice would come.

"A movie sounds nice." Rachel's voice came just fine but it was unintentionally low and rather on the husky side.

On hearing the brunettes voice clearly so lustful Quinn smiled and stood up, she leaned over the smaller woman and lightly kissed the side of the brunettes neck earning her a soft moan in her ear. Standing up straight Quinn placed enough money to pay the bill and cover the tip on the table and held her hand out to Rachel. Rachel took the offered hand and let herself be pulled out to the car.
