And without further ado... I present to you... Rebirth :)

A lot can happen in ten years of someone's life. For example, a couple's little baby girl grows up to be ten years old. The couple might also decide to have another kid, maybe even two. Maybe they get a new job, or maybe they take new steps in their lives.

A lot can happen in ten years of someone's life.

A lot happened in the last ten years of Dani's life, that was for sure. Luckily for her, most of the things that had happened hadn't had any lasting negative affects, which was good. Some people, like her friend Noah Puckerman, lost their job and ended up moving in with friends for a couple years before getting back on their feet.

Ten years ago, Dani and her wife, Santana Lopez-Taylor, gave birth to their beautiful baby girl, Sofia Anne Lopez-Taylor. It had been a big step in their lives, in a different direction than all of their previous steps had taken them. It marked the end of Dani's big performance days, and for a while, it put Santana's acting career on hold.

Lucky for them, they had a lot of money saved from their biggest times in the spotlight, which had been about three years long. However, about a year after their daughter had been born, Santana went back to acting, and Dani found herself getting a job at the Spotlight Diner again. Santana had felt really bad about Dani not going back to singing, and she insisted that she could go back into the studio if she wanted.

But really, Dani couldn't. Not when they had a little baby girl. She only worked shifts at the diner when Santana was home, and if she worked in the studio, she would end up having to be gone while Santana was gone, at least sometimes. And Dani really didn't want Sofi to be stuck with a babysitter ever.

However, over the first two years after Sofi was born, Santana and Dani did have to go out together sometimes. Whether it was just to take a break, or for some publicity event about one of the shows that Santana was acting in, they had to leave Sofi sometimes. Though, there had never been a lack of people willing to babysit her.

Rachel always found time to watch the little girl, and Kurt and Blaine loved her, too. Of course, the latter two had a two and a half year old boy at the time, so they couldn't watch her all the time. Quinn, who had moved to New York around the time that Santana had given birth to Sofi, loved to babysit her as well.

When Sofi turned two, Dani had told Santana outright that she wanted another one. Santana's only condition was that Dani had to carry it this time, and the girl had agreed instantly. They found another sperm donor and Dani carried their next baby girl, Leah Marie Lopez-Taylor, for eight months and five days before she was born.

At that point, Dani stopped working at the diner so that she could take care of both of her little girls. Santana had suggested that they swap, and Dani could go back in the studio and Santana could stay home, but Dani had refused. She honestly didn't mind that she wasn't in the studio anymore. At least, she was pretty sure she didn't mind.

She kept in touch with Joshua of course, because they had become really good friends. Same with Sebastian, who had assured her that if she ever went back in the business, he was there to manage for her. They still had Chad as a driver, since Santana was gone every day. As for their former body guards, Evan and Nick, they hadn't seen them since Dani's last concert, which was a week after Sofi was born.

But she didn't really think about going back into the studio. To her, it felt like she'd lived out her dreams of stardom. And it wasn't like she was nothing now. She'd lived in a huge penthouse apartment with her amazing wife and two perfect little girls. She couldn't dream of wanting more.

There were aspects of her fame that were still there. Santana had interviews and public party things for the TV shows she was on, and Dani often attended them with her. Also, she still had a Twitter, which she used to keep her fans updated. They still considered themselves her fans, which was probably the coolest part. They all expected her to get back up and start singing again.

When Sofi was seven and Leah was five and a half, Santana told Dani that she honestly just needed one more. The Latina carried their third daughter, Emma Maribel Lopez-Taylor, for seven and a half months before she was born early, luckily with no health problems from it.

They decided after Emma that three was enough. Santana still worked, and Dani mostly stayed home with the kids. Santana would take Sofi and Leah to school in the morning and usually would get off of set in time to take them home, too, so Dani stayed home with Emma.

Three more years after that and Sofi was ten, Leah was eight and Emma was three. Santana was still working, Dani was still a stay at home mom. Rachel was on Broadway nearly every night. Kurt owned a huge fashion line. Quinn wrote screenplays. Tina worked for Kurt's company. Brittany, who had broken up with Zach years ago, owned a huge, professional dance studio in New York, where she now lived as well. She had married a different guy, Alex, and they had one little boy and were pregnant with their second child.

Dani woke up early on a Friday morning, hearing her wife and kids in the kitchen making breakfast. Santana always got them up, since she brought them to school during the same car trip that they took with Chad driving to her set. Dani smiled at the sound of the kitchen utensils and things moving around. Those little girls loved to make breakfast almost as much as Santana and Dani had always loved to eat it.

Although she usually didn't get up early in the mornings, Dani crawled out of bed and slipped into a robe. She and Santana had a very sound proof bedroom in this apartment, because they had established years ago that they couldn't not have sex for too long a period of time. Actually, when they had moved into the penthouse, they had to have the walls made soundproof, as well as the door, which was oddly heavy because of it. They actually forced Rachel and Kurt sit in the living room to make sure they couldn't hear Santana and Dani having sex. It was awkward, but they had to make sure somehow.

Dani left the bedroom and went into the kitchen. Sofi and Leah were fighting over a spoon to stir some batter, and little Emma was tugging on her Mami's robe. Santana was making eggs at the stove.

Emma was the first to notice Dani come in, and she let go of Santana's robe and ran to her Mommy. "Mommy!"

"Hey, baby girl," Dani said with a smile, leaning down so that she could lift her youngest daughter. "What are you guys making in here?"

"Mami is making eggs and I am making pancakes," Sofi informed her mother matter-of-factly.

"No," Leah argued. "I'm making pancakes, and Sofi keeps stealing the spoon."

Dani laughed and shook her head at her oldest girls as she approached her wife. The Latina turned and met Dani's lips with her own. "You're up early."

"I heard you guys making something and I just had to come in and see what it was," Dani answered, smiling at her gorgeous wife. Although ten years had passed, Dani swore that Santana hadn't aged a day. Her hair was still the same beautiful, silky color and feeling as it had always been, and every aspect of her body was the same. Of course, Dani's body hadn't changed much either. The same couldn't be said for her hair, though. She kept up her routine of dying it.

After the blue, she'd gone to a sort of auburn, followed by another shade of blond, then for a while she was purple. After the purple she was light brown, lighter than her natural color anyway, and then after that she let it be natural for a few months. Then she had auburn again, then blue again, and now she was at blond. This blond, though, was the exact same shade as when she met Santana, and she knew because she was still going to Tamara's hair salon.

"Do you wanna help us, Mommy?" Leah asked with a wide smile. Leah was pretty much a replica of Dani. Everyone thought so. She had dark brown hair, like Dani's natural hair, and fair skin. Her smile was just like Dani's, and her eyes were the same color. Of course, she had some aspects of her sperm donor, too, but Dani could barely recall the picture of the guy who had donated them.

"Sure, what do you want me to do?" Dani asked, amused.

"You can help Mami with eggs, because I am making pancakes," Sofi told her Mommy in her bossy voice. Sofi was a lot like her Mami. Her hair was dark and wavy like Santana's, and she was clearly Latina as well. Not only that, but her attitude was a lot like what Dani imagined young Santana's to be. It didn't help that she was the oldest of the three, either, because she constantly bossed her younger sisters around. It was the main reason that she and Leah always fought.

"Mommy can't help Mami with the eggs, because only one person can be at the stove at once," Emma told her older sister surely. Although Santana had given birth to Emma, the little girl must've gotten most all of her physical traits from her sperm donor, because she looked nothing like the Latina. Her hair was a light brown color. Her skin was a few shades lighter than Santana's, and a couple shades darker than Dani's. Her eyes were blue, which was really weird since she was the only one in the family with them.

"Well then she can't help us, because Mami said I could make these pancakes," Sofi told her little sisters.

"Hey," Santana snapped softly, "when I said 'you can make pancakes' I meant 'you all'. It was implied, Sofi."

Sofi crossed her arms. "But I'm the oldest. I should get to make them."

"You're right, Sofi, you are the oldest, so you have to teach your little sisters how to do it, right?" Dani asked her daughter, who gave her a skeptical look.

"I guess," she muttered. Dani grinned.

"Mommy, I want your pancakes," Leah told Dani with a pout.

"I'd make you guys some, but I think Sofi wanted to make them with you guys," Dani told her.

"How about we all just help you?" Sofi suggested. "Your pancakes are bestest anyway."

Dani laughed and took over with the mixing as she started making her pancakes. They were famous in their household, of course. They'd only gotten better in the last ten years.

They all sat down at their big dining table to eat their breakfast. "Oh, Santana," Dani remembered suddenly, looking up at her wife, "Rach said that there's a Glee reunion tomorrow. I was supposed to tell you yesterday, but I told her that we can come."

"A Glee reunion?" Santana asked surprised. "There hasn't been one in like eight years."

"I know," Dani answered with a frown. "We haven't seen some of them in a while."

"When's the last time we saw Mercedes?" Santana asked, frowning as well.

"Three years ago. We went to one of her concerts," Dani answered with a slight smile at the memory. They'd left the girls with their Gramma at the time.

"Right," Santana said with a nod. "They're all gonna be there tomorrow?"

"Yeah. And Rach said we can bring the girls too. Apparently, it's a big family event," Dani replied with a wide smile.

"What's Glee?" Emma asked.

"It's a club that Mami was in when she was in high school," Dani told the little girl. "And tomorrow there's a Glee club reunion, so everyone is going to meet each other at one place."

"And we get to go?" Leah asked, her face lighting up.

"Yes, but don't get too excited," Dani told her with a laugh. "It's just at Rachel's place."

"Oh yes!" Emma exclaimed with a grin. "I miss Rae Rae!"

"You saw her last weekend, Emma," Santana told her, amused.

"I still miss her," Emma told her Mami seriously.

"I'm sure she misses you, too, Emma," Dani told their youngest daughter.

"Who else is gonna be there?" Sofi asked curiously.

"Kurt, Blaine, Quinn, Brittany, Tina and a bunch of people you don't know," Santana told the ten year old.

"I remember Mercedes," Sofi told her parents. "I met her before you guys went to her concert, remember? She was really nice."

Leah pouted. "I don't remember that."

"Yeah, neither do I," Emma agreed, pouting as well.

"Mija, you were just a few months old," Santana told the little girl, who didn't stop pouting.

"Exactly!" she exclaimed.

Santana looked up at the clock and jumped up. "We gotta go, girls!"

Dani stood up and grabbed her wife in a hug. "Love you, have a good day, babe."

"You too, mi amor," Santana replied, pulling back and placing a sweet kiss on her wife's lips.

Dani bent down and gave her two oldest girls each a hug before they grabbed their backpacks and followed their Mami out the door and into the hallway. "Bye Mommy!"

When they left, Emma turned to Dani. "Mommy, why can't I go to school like Leah and Sofi?"

"You aren't old enough yet, Em," Dani told her daughter. "You can go next year, right before you turn five."

Emma frowned. "But I'm already really smart!"

"I know, baby, but schools won't let you start kindergarten until you're almost five," Dani answered, grabbing the plates off the table and bringing them to the kitchen. Emma was right, though, she was a lot smarter than most three year olds. She could talk a lot better than Sofi or Leah could when they were three, that's for sure.

"Schools is mean," Emma grumbled, crossing her arms.

"Are mean. Not is mean," Dani corrected with a light laugh. She thought too soon.

Emma just shrugged it off. "Who are all the people we are gonna meet tomorrow?"

"You mean the people you don't know?" Dani asked, and Emma nodded her confirmation. "Well, there's Noah Puckerman, Mercedes Jones, Artie Abrams, Sam Evans, Mike Chang, and Sugar Motta. I think that's it."

"Mike has the same last name as Tina! Are they married?" Emma asked. She'd just recently realized the relation between last names like that.

Dani chuckled. "No, they're not. Not all people with the same last names are married. And anyway, Tina's last name is hyphenated. It's Cohen-Chang."

"Oh! Like mine is Lopez-Taylor!" Emma realized with a wide smile.

"Exactly," Dani told her little girl with a smile. "So, what do you wanna do today, Em?"

The little girl thought carefully, tapping her chin for emphasis. Dani would never get over how cute hers and Santana's kids were. "I think... we should go see Q!"

Emma had picked up that nickname from Santana, and it just stuck. Actually, Emma was really big on nicknames. She loved to be called Em. She called Rachel "Rae Rae", Quinn "Q", Kurt "Kurtie", and Brittany "Brittie". "Hmm, I'm not sure kiddo. She might be busy," Dani reminded the little girl.

"No she's not. All she does is sit on her computer all day," Emma told her Mommy matter-of-factly.

"Baby, that's what her job is," Dani told her with a laugh. "She writes scripts on there."

"Scripts? Like the ones that Mami has to memorize?" Emma asked.

"Exactly like the ones that Mami has to memorize," Dani replied with a smile. "Anyway, you want to see her today? Maybe we can call her and go out for lunch with her, what do you say?"

"Yes!" Emma agreed, grinning up at her Mommy.

Dani chuckled and pulled out her cell phone from her robe pocket and dialed Quinn's number.

"Hey Dani, you're up early," she commented.

"I could say the same for you," Dani replied with a chuckle. "Emma would like to know if you would like to go out for lunch with us?"

"Of course! I gotta get out of this apartment anyway. I've been writing like crazy. These crazy directors want their script done by next week," Quinn grumbled. "But I have to get out of the house sometime. Where should we meet?"

Dani thought for a moment, and then a weird feeling came over her as she remembered a place that she hadn't been to in eight years. "What about the Spotlight Diner?" she asked in a small voice.

"Oh. I haven't been there in forever," Quinn commented. "Actually I only ever went there once, I think."

"What, when you went all bat shi—" She stopped herself from cursing in front of her youngest daughter. "—all crazy and stalked me and Santana there?"

"Exactly," Quinn answered with a laugh. After thirteen years since that crazy incident, Quinn, Santana and Dani all used that matter of weeks as an inside joke. There were obviously no hard feelings from it anymore, since Quinn was honestly one of Dani's best friends now.

"Well, what do you say? Emma's never been there, and I haven't gone back in there since I stopped working there when Leah was born," Dani told the other blonde.

"Sounds like a plan to me. I'll meet you there at noon?" she asked.

"Perfect. See you then," Dani told her, before hanging up. Emma was grinning.

"We're gonna see Q?"

"Yep. And you're going to get to see something really special, too," Dani told the little girl.

"The Spotlight Dinner?" Emma asked, trying to recall what her Mommy had just said.

"Diner," Dani corrected. "It's like a small restaurant. That's where me and Mami met."

"Really?" Emma asked, her eyes widening. "Cool! Have Sofi and Leah seen it?"

"Nope, you're going to be the first," Dani admitted, getting an excited squeal from the three year old.

"Yay!" she exclaimed. "I'm gonna go get changed!"

"Do you want some help?" Dani called after the little girl, who was running toward her room.

"No!"

Knowing her, though, the little girl was going to come back out wearing the most mismatched clothes. Dani just laughed and shook her head, starting on cleaning the dishes.

This was just the start of the story, obviously. This chapter and the next two are kind of easing into the main storyline.

I know some people wanted Dantana to have a boy, but really I can't write little boys. Like... I just can't. So I apologize for that, but I think you'll end up liking Sofi, Leah and Emma :)

Emma will probably end up being in the story the most, though, since she's not in school. It makes me feel bad because it makes me feel like I'm playing favorites lol what the hell.

Please review and let me know what you think of this first chapter! If that's not your think, then please send me a PM! Also, follow me on Twitter at BrittzandTana ! You can find Dani on Twitter at MsDaniTaylor and Santana at MsSantanaTaylor :)

I think you all should be able to tell now why this story is called Rebirth, and if not then I'm sure you'll figure it out sooner or later :) I have a good feeling that this story is going to go very far :)

Love you all! Please review! Have a great day, my loves!
