Prompt#1: Dani lets Rachel hold Matthew.
Prompt#2: Fluff movie night watching Frozen of course.
"I can't believe I let you coerce me into this."
"Excuse me but if I remember correctly, your girlfriend was the one who suggested this movie." Santana answered the brunette sitting in the love seat adjacent to the couch she, Dani and the kids were in.
Rachel huffed and glared at Quinn whose lap she was sitting in even though the space on the couch was enough to fit them both comfortably.
"I'm judging you so much right now Quinn Fabray." Quinn just smiled at her girlfriend and kissed the pout off her lips.
"Hey! None of that. There are children around." Covering Izzy's eyes with her hands, making the girl giggle and try to remove the hand.
"I'm pretty sure they're already scarred by you two. Plus, Matthew has no idea what's going on." Rachel said, nodding in the direction of the 3 month old in Dani's lap.
"Well I know what's going on and it's disgusting." Santana said, making a face at them both.
"Okay, no more kissing." Quinn said, always the voice of reason. She kissed Rachel on the cheek when she sighed rather dramatically.
"She's a keeper Rachel." Santana said.
"Why, because she doesn't argue with you?"
"Yes, that's exactly why."
"Fweeze!" Everyone turned to look at Izzy who was sitting in Santana's lap.
"Been watching too much cop shows around her Santana?"
Santana rolled her eyes at Rachel before replying. "No. That's what she calls the movie. She can't say Frozen so she shortens it."
"Aww!" Rachel squealed and Santana rolled her eyes again. Every time the brunette opened her mouth, the action was automatic.
Dani just shook her head at the antics of the two best friends. If anyone outside their small group witnessed their interactions, they'd think the two genuinely hated each other. But she was privileged enough to know that was far from the truth.
"Rachel, would you hold Matthew while I go pop some popcorn please?"
The room went silent and Dani and Quinn were confused. Rachel's eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfect o. Santana was grinning at her with something that looked like approval in her eyes, like she was proud of her. But what for?
"I- um…sure. Of course." Rachel said after she had gotten a hold of herself. She walked over to Dani slowly like she was a dangerous animal getting ready to strike. Dani tilted her head in amusement and watched as Rachel stopped in front of her expectantly.
"Well, are you gonna pick him up?" Santana asked. The only thing allowing her to keep her laughter in was the memory of how worse she had been when she had first held Matthew. From the look on Dani's face, the blonde had no idea why Rachel was so emotional about picking up the kid.
It was the first time she had asked. Rachel was now a good friend to Dani. She was comfortable to be around and she felt like family, but she had never once interacted with the baby boy that Dani protected so fiercely. She interacted with Izzy frequently and she suspected it was because the child was older. She was right. Dani thought Matthew was more breakable, easier to run away with, easier to take from her because he was so small. It was why she held him so close to her always.
"Of course I'm going to pick him up Santana, if you would just shut up please." Santana couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her and she chuckled even more when Rachel sent a glare her way.
The brunette finally held the boy in her arms, not as awkward as Santana had her first time, but definitely a bit uncomfortably.
"He's not gonna break Berry." Santana quipped even though that's quite the opposite of what she had thought about the baby boy. As a matter of fact, the feeling that he was made of glass was still ever present in her mind anytime she was near him.
"Hey, stop acting like you weren't afraid to hold him too." Dani said, saving face for Rachel who was now laughing loudly at Santana's red face.
"I hate you all." The dark haired woman grumbled and Dani kissed her cheek.
"No you don't."
"I do, I really do."
"I have a request."
Everyone turned to Quinn who was watching them interact with amusement glinting in her eyes.
"What would that be?" Rachel asked her girlfriend.
"Can we all please just…Let It Go?" Quinn grinned widely, as if she had accomplished a great feat.
"Really?" The two brunettes in the room asked glaring playfully at Quinn and the two blondes laughed. And they all knew without a doubt that this was what family felt like.
