A/N: Sequel to Must Be A Wolf Thing, and Like Mother Like Daughter
As soon as Alex stepped into her house and closed the door behind her and saw her mom and momma sitting on the couch, she knew they knew.
“Alex come and sit in here with us.” Came her momma’s soft and calm voice. And she knew that voice all too well. It was her ‘You are in so much trouble, but it’s ok’ voice.
“What’s up?” She asked, feigning not knowing, as she took the arm chair just opposite of them. I don’t remember this being here….they must have moved it. Alex felt herself gulp when she saw her mom’s near fuming expression, mixed with her momma’s obvious disappointment.
“I think you damn well know what’s up.” Santana nearly hissed, but Rachel’s soft hand touching her arm, instead made her look away from her daughter.
“Santana! Alex….we got a call from your Aunt Quinn earlier. Alex is….” Rachel drawls in a shaky breath, as Alex physically prepares herself for the words about to spill from her momma’s mouth.
“….is Eveline pregnant?” Her mouth opens and shuts like a fish out of water, and that’s all of the answer they need.
“Mom…” She tries to say, but her glare was already fixed on her.
“We told you, we strongly emphasized it, we even got you protection! It was the one thing we pushed on you, and you and went and did it anyways!” Alex couldn’t help jumping to her feet with clenched fists.
“It’s not like we planned it! It just-“
“Happened, I know! But that’s why we gave you that stuff, so you can use it and not make a-“
“A what mom! A mistake? Is that what you think of me? As a mistake?” As if her glare couldn’t get any darker, it did.
“Do not put words in my mouth! You know I love you and your siblings with all my heart and I wouldn’t trade any of you for anything in the world!” Rachel tried to calm her mate, but she was already too far in to be calmed.
“Then I don’t see why you’re so mad!”
“Because Alex you were supposed to learn from me, not copy me!” Chocolate eyes narrowed dangerously.
“Then I guess we really are ‘Like Mother Like Daughter.’” She could see the control slowly slipping from her mom, but then again she probably doesn’t look any better.
“I guess. But the one thing that will be different about us is you will have a place to stay. That and you aren’t going to be seeing Eveline as much as you have been.” And that was all Santana said before she started walking away, but Alex nor Rachel were about to leave it there.
“Santana-“
“You can’t do that!” Alex nearly roared, as she came face to face in front of her Alpha.
“Yes I can! I’m not about to let you go and add more to the already big mess you’ve created.” She turned and walked away once again, this time heading straight for the back door.
“Santana you can’t! You know how hard it was for us! I can’t imagine not having you there to help me through it, and I know if you weren’t there it would have drove you crazy! You can’t keep them apart, they need to be with each other.” Alex was still nearly visibly shaking with rage, and it was taking all of her not to phase and run right out the door.
“Yes but all we had were each other. If you don’t remember our parents kicked us out!”
“I remember very clear! But it doesn’t matter, even if I were with my parents, it would have been hell without you.” Santana clenched her jaw in an obvious attempt to keep whatever comment she wanted to say in.
“It hasn’t changed my mind.” As she neared the back door, Rachel said the one thing she wished she would never have to say.
“Then I’m leaving you.” Santana didn’t have time to say anything before the front door slammed close, and Alex was gone.

“Eveline, can you come here. We have something to talk to you about.” Eveline let her eyes slip close. They knew.
“Sure, what did you need?” The blonde cheerleader took the couch across from them, and briefly looked down at their joined hands. Uh oh.
“Honey I want you to be honest with us, and no matter what the answer we love you.” Eveline felt her heart pick up speed as her eyes glanced from her momma and over to her mom.
“Eveline are you….are you pregnant?” Then as if a cork pulled from a bottle, tears spilled over her eyes, and were coating her cheeks as the sobs wracked her body.
“Oh honey.” Brittany was next to her and pulling her into her as she rubbed her hand over her back and whispered quiet ‘Shh’ and ‘It’ll be ok, we can get through this.’
“Eveline I think it would be best if you didn’t spend as much time with Alex right now.” Then like that she was out of Brittany’s arms and standing in front of her mom.
“No! I need her now more than ever! You can’t keep her away from me!” Brittany’s eyes held worry as she glanced between her daughter and mate.
“Yes I can Eveline. And I think it would be better if you didn’t see her as much right now. We need to get you checked out, and get everything sorted out.” Brittany stood and opened her mouth to say something when Eveline instead did.
“No! No mom no! I need her!” Brittany’s heart broke at the sight of her daughter’s heart nearly breaking right in front of her. Why can’t Quinn see she’s breaking her heart?
“Quinn please, she needs Alex. I needed you when I was in her shoes.” Quinn’s gaze softened at Brittany’s words, but she still shook her head.
“No Eveline it’s-“
“Mom please!” Quinn was about to snap back but when Eveline suddenly keeled over, holding her stomach, anything she was about to say was thrown out the window when she rushed over to keep her from falling.
“Oh god…” Eveline’s pants that she is wearing suddenly became soaked in what appeared to be blood.
“Mom….it hurts!” Pale hands became even paler as she gripped her mom’s shoulder.

Alex didn’t really have a set location in mind, but when she looked up from the ground she found that she ended up at Eveline’s house, and judging by the yelling she hears, her parents found out. She ran the rest of the way up the steps of their front porch and didn’t think twice before opening the door and rushing in.
When she saw Eveline keeled over and her Aunt Quinn holding her up, she knew something was wrong.
“Eveline!” Alex didn’t take more than three seconds to be by her side.
“Alex…” Alex spotted the blood, and it was then she knew.
“The baby…” The tears that were already coming down Eveline’s cheeks seemed to quicken.
“Alex you grab her, we’ll get the car ready.” Alex barley registered what Quinn was saying, but she nodded and picked Eveline up into her arms.
“Alex I’m sorry.” Eveline said only just above a whisper.
“Nothing is your fault Eveline. Nothing.” The blonde didn’t say anything, and instead just buried her head in the older wolf’s neck.
