I want proof of what you're feeling

It’s Not Where You Come From - Dani and Riley

Dani collapsed down on the couch and handed Riley the bowl of buttery popcorn she had requested, or more like begged and demanded. Pregnancy cravings - that’s what she claimed but Dani thought that was an excuse so her sister could get whatever she minded, which she didn’t mind in this case. “What movie we watching?” She asked her sister while grabbing a handful of popcorn.

[dani-innyc]

Riley didn’t budge when Dani raised her voice because she knew it was just out of frustration, if her sister didn’t want to talk then Riley would know. “That’s all I wanted to know…” She breathed out as she held Dani close. “I see your scars and I get scared that you’re doing it to yourself again and I just…” Riley sighed heavily. “I just want to know that you’re okay and happy because I love you.”

“I-I’m not.. I didn’t do.. any of them.” She shook her head and hugged her sister. Dani didnt mean to snap but she was glad Riley didnt get angry or scared of her when she did. “I am, I’m happy and I’m trying really hard to be okay. I didnt get cold feet though, I wanted to marry Santana but somebody.. one of.. uhh… he fucked that over for me and.. caused all the new scars and there was a bunch of other shit that I dont want to talk about but I dont want to leave you wondering and worried about me like that because for once I’m actually doing sort of okay.”

[princesstana-lopez]

Riley smiled to herself when Dani finally unloaded on her because that was just proof her sister was doing better since normally she would just bottle it up and shut her out. "Well you wouldn't have come back if you didn't want to marry her." She chuckled lightly. "And Im really happy that you're happy because it looks good on you. Plus Santana is too hot and too rich to leave." Riley teased with a laugh.

[dani-innyc]

The more Dani spoke the more connections Rikey made and so much of what had happened made sense now that she had a little bit of clarity. “Is that why you left San? Because of the people you know?” She asked timidly because Riley knew that was a sensitive subject but she had always wondered what had happened between the two.

Dani breathed out a sigh through her nose. Conversations like this, normally with Santana would make her shut down but she couldn’t do that with Riley. Dani had to start being more open and better at communicating and show her sister that she wasn’t the same person anymore. “Yes, but it’s not in any of the ways you’re thinking and I don’t really want to talk about that part.” Riley might not care about that though and she was prepared for more questioning. Her scars were easy to hide while video chatting but not in person which was infuriating.

[princesstana-lopez]

Riley opened her mouth to speak but when Dani said she didn’t want to talk about it she closed her mouth and sighed through her nose. “Why won’t you just tell me what happened? I’m not a kid anymore and its not like I’m going to judge you.”

[dani-innyc]

Riley opened her mouth to speak but when Dani said she didn’t want to talk about it she closed her mouth and sighed through her nose. “Why won’t you just tell me what happened? I’m not a kid anymore and its not like I’m going to judge you.”

“Because- I know you’re not but.. things were more complicated then you can even imagine and I dont want my time spent with you being reminded about what he did to me!” Dani raised her voice a bit, not even realizing what she had said. Living in her mind was already exhausting and frustrating enough and she couldnt handle talking to Riley about these things.

[princesstana-lopez]

Riley didn't budge when Dani raised her voice because she knew it was just out of frustration, if her sister didn't want to talk then Riley would know. "That's all I wanted to know..."

[dani-innyc]

Riley always knew Dani got up to no good during their childhood and even after but it confused her when her sister said it needed to be safe for her to travel back to the states. “What do you mean by safe D?” She asked with a firm tone because she had a bad feeling about it but Riley wanted an answer from her sister so her mind wouldn’t keep running wild.

“Fuck.” Dani muttered under her breath. She was hoping Riley would just drop the subject and not pry but she knew Riley wouldnt silence for long. “I know some fucked up people Riley, and they’re not all nice and they’re not all.. uh they don’t.. not all of them want me alive, so going back to New York is sort of like having a death wish and right now things are going great so I dont have one of those right now.”

[dani-innyc]

Riley nodded when she was given the same answer because she knew that meant not to dig for anymore answers. “You look like you love it here.” She smiled again because her sister did look amazing and healthy, plus her and Santana finally got married which Riley knew they both wanted that. “And maybe we can find a way to get you to the birth.”

“I do, the culture here is amazing.. the people, the.. everyrhing, they speak Spanish too and I’m safe here, I’m safe and I have no connections to anybody or a bad reputation which isnt something I’ve ever had.” She was sober and so happy, truly happy for the first time in her life. “I hope so, I really do what to be there. You know I wouldnt want to miss it for anything but.. I need to make sure I can do it safely because that’s important to.” It had taken her years to realize that.

[dani-innyc]

Everything was complicated when it came to Dani but Riley was use to that, she just thought by now her sister wouldn’t treat her like a child and just tell her what’s going. “I thought you guys moved out her so things would be less complicated..” She stated in confusion since none of this made sense, if Dani wanted to be in her baby’s life then she would be. “And my parents love you despite how you feel about them.”

“We did. We moved to Barcelona because….” Dani began to answer but really didnt know how to explain.. anything. How was she supposed to tell her baby sister that she had moved to Europe to escape her pimp who Riley didn’t even know she had been around or more like held captive by. “We moved here so things would be less complicated and better, and going back isn’t easy for me to do, but I do want to be there for the birth, if I can be.” Dani shook her head but she wasnt going to have this conversation with Riley. That wasn’t fair and it certainly wasn’t worth it. “I do love it here, alot.”

[princesstana-lopez]

Riley nodded when she was given the same answer because she knew that meant not to dig for anymore answers. "You look like you love it here."

[dani-innyc]

“There’s nothing more that I want in life then to be in your babies life, and yours since I know I missed so fucking much of it but thinge are a bit complicated.” She tried to explaien but knew it wouldnt be good enough for her sister. “If I can be, I want to be but..it.. might not be possible.” Dani bit her lip. “Your parents probably wouldnt even want me there…” That was a good reason, right? No but Riley couldnt know the real reasons.

[dani-innyc]

“I know.. I have a feeling in gonna be a whale soon.” Riley chuckled as she rubbed her growing belly, she was really excited to be a mother so it was a relief that Dani was excited too since she needed her sister’s support. “Oh I dont doubt you’ll be an awesome aunt and once they’re old enough we’ll come visit and maybe you could come to New York.” She suggested hoping Dani would if it was for her.

“You still have a while to go so don’t get to excited.” She joked looking down at her belly. Dani would have been a few more months farther along but she knew what happened was for the best, she wouldnt have been able to have her pimps baby, especially since it would have been born addicted to drugs like she was. “I’m going go spoil the fuck out of them, and video chat you and the baby all the time so they grow up getting to know me.” She smiled but it faltered at the mention of her going to New York, it just dawned on her that she would be missing the birth of the baby. “I don’t know, it’s not easy for me to travel and uh..” Dani had appointments booked to talk to doctors about the surgeries she needed soon as well but talking to Riley about that wasn’t something she wanted to do, she wasn’t sure what to tell Riley.

[princesstana-lopez]

Riley's face fell a little when Dani gave her a vague excuse to not come to New York so she was sure there was more to the story than just doctors but she couldn't push her sister for answers since that always started an argument. "You're gonna be there for the birth though, right?" She asked hoping that would get a better explanation out of her sister.

“It looks like its gonna be good.” Riley shrugged before getting close to Dani to snuggle but she knew something was off about her sister. Dani wasn’t this quiet usually. “Unless you had something else in mind?” She wondered.

“I hope so.” Dani murmured while wrapping her arms around Riley’s waist. “I can’t believe you’re already showing, I’m going to be the best aunt ever.” She hummed and shrugged. “It doesnt matter to me as long as its not a scary movie because I cant deal with those.”

[dani-innyc]

“Fuck yes!” Riley cheered when Dani handed her the bowl of popcorn she had been craving.. or just wanted and was too lazy to get herself, either way she was looking forward to every bite. “The new Amy Poehler movie, all my friends say its hilarious.” She answered as she stuffed her mouth with popcorn.

“New Amy Po.. okay” Dani mumbled to herself trying to think of what movie Riley was talking about. “She’s usually pretty good, although I havent seen a ton of her stuff.” She adjusted her position on the couch to snuggle up with her sister.

[princesstana-lopez]

What happened?

Dani waited until she heard the door to their apartment close before she began stripping out of her clothes to change into her pyjamas. Riley had been here for a day and a half, and it had been absolutely incredible to have her sister here but it had been draining being so social, and having to stay upbeat for Riley and Nick, she was looking forward to a bit of downtime with her wife while her sister went out with her boyfriend for a night out exploring the city. Once Dani was changed she climbed into bed and sighed contently curling up agaisnt Santana. “Hi.” She cooed kissing Santana’s cheek.

[dani-innyc]

“Still love so much, I don’t think those could ever be not hot on you.” Santana said as she settled back into bed with Dani only for the door to buzz, at least that meant the pizza was there. “We’re still the coolest and we’re gonna be that kid’s favourites. Barcelona is way better than New York.” She rambled on as she got up to get the food only for the dogs to follow her as well.

“Oh yeah! We’re already awesome but now were the cool aunts that live in Europe and spoil the hell out of this kid.” She nodded in agreement. Barcelona was much better then New York. The most important thing was that it was safe but it was also full of culture and great people.

[princesstana-lopez]

"Mhm.. exactly." Santana nodded happily with a piece of pizza already stuffed into her mouth and crawled back onto the bed to share with Dani. "We'll teach them Spanish and all kinds of awesome things." It was exciting knowing they were going to be aunts since Santana enjoyed spoiling the people she loved.

[dani-innyc]

“You had pink hair and all that leather.” Santana chuckled at the memory but she did always love the colors Dani dyed her hair, she loved everything Dani did. “I love you too and were gonna be the best aunts, I hope your sister is ready for that.” She said as she continued to kiss Dani’s neck while snuggling into her side.

“It’s been so fucking long since I coloured my hair, and I really miss some of those outfits, and those chokers that I remember you loved so much.” Dani was excited, so excited to be an aunt and spoil the hell out of her sisters kid. “I was wondering the same thing, but uh she has a family, friends.. alot of support and between here and New York the kid is going to be a world traveler.”

[princesstana-lopez]

"Still love so much, I don't think those could ever be not hot on you." Santana said as she settled back into bed with Dani only for the door to buzz, at least that meant the pizza was there.

[dani-innyc]

“That was a really long time ago..” Santana thought out loud but it was surprising since even she had spent time with her brother over the years since Dani reunited them. “You fulfill all my needs baby.” She hummed sweetly before leaning in to kiss her wife’s neck.

“Yeah..” It was a long time ago and she made her peace with Riley’s parents the first or second time she got sober but alot had happened since then and she wasn’t sure how she felt but it didn’t matter anymore. She was an adult with their own apartment and soon to be house so she couldnt dwell on it. “I love you so much.” Dani hummed.

[princesstana-lopez]

"You had pink hair and all that leather." Santana chuckled at the memory but she did always love the colors Dani dyed her hair, she loved everything Dani did. "I love you too and were gonna be the best aunts, I hope your sister is ready for that." She said as she continued to kiss Dani's neck while snuggling into her side.

[dani-innyc]

Santana breathed out a laugh when Dani teased her and she couldn’t help the shiver that ran down her spine when her wife ran her hands down her back. “I don’t remember how long which was why I thought she should come.” She cooed. “You do so much to make me happy and I just wanted to return the gesture.”

“Probably since her parents didn’t adopt me, that was the last tine we were in the same house for a week.” Dani sighed. “I’m just trying to be a good wife, and I’m glad to hear I’m fulfilling my duties as a good wife.”

[princesstana-lopez]

[dani-innyc]

“I know, I’m a genius.” Santana smirked proudly as she rested on her hands, hovering over top of Dani. “Amd how lucky is that because I don’t think it can compare to how lucky I am.” She kissed her wife again only to plant more all over her face.

“Mm some days.” Dani replied pushing her hands under Santana’s shirt so she could run her hands up and down her sides. “Extremely lucky, having Riley here is great and I cant believe I get to see her all week! Do you know how long its been since I’ve seen her for that long??

[princesstana-lopez]

[dani-innyc]

“Being married to you.” Santana shook her head at Dani’s ridiculousness while finishing ordering their dinner. “Pizza is pretty fucking tasty but not as tasty as you though.” She laughed as she tossed her phone to the side of the bed before rolling over to kiss Dani’s lips. “Good because I love you too.” She mumbled against her wife’s lips.

“Ooh that was a good one,” Dani giggled laying back wrapping her arms around Santana’s waist. “I cant believe how lucky I am.”
