Santana: *sighs and smiles sympathetically at jasmine as she reaches out to hold the younger ones hand in hers* i know its scary to be in a place with all us crazy people you don't really remember *smiles as she hears jasmine giggle. Santana assumes its coz she called everyone crazy* ...i promise you that we are gonna be here to help you get as much of your memory back as possible. But until then we will do our best to make you as comfortable as possible. Whatever you need, we'll be there! *smiles as she looks into jasmines eyes and sees some of the anxiety fade away and her shoulders relax a little*

Jasmine: thanks Tana! *smiles at san as she smiles back*

Santana: *cant help but have her heart melt every time she hears jasmine call her that.* you remind me so much of your mama, you know that? *smiles at jasmine*

Jasmine: *cant remember anything about her mum so she just smiles weakly* what did i do?

Santana: *giggles at jasmine being so oblivious* well, when i first met your mama she didn't know how to pronounce my full name so she just called me tana instead. And even when she grew up it kinda just stuck and it became her thing. she would say that it made me sound a lot cooler or whatever. *laughs and playfully rolls her eyes at how cheeky jasmine was* ...shes lucky that my angel of a wife was around to save her because i could easily have let Snixx whoop her ass after hearing her say that. *laughs at the memories of when people would get Santana all wound up. then just as she was about to kick some ass, its like Brittany could sense it and she would always appear right on time to hold san back*

Jasmine: *in the last day and a bit that shes been awake she has heard Santana mention Brittany a lot. So of course she is curious about who she was to san* what was she like? She must have been pretty special for you too talk about her so much in just one day. *laughs a little as does san*

Santana: who? Britt? *looks at jasmine and sees her nod her head* well that may take a while to explain! Anyone who knows me knows that once i start talking about her, i really don't know how to stop. *laughs at how thats no exaggeration at all*

jasmine: thats ok! It's not like I've got anywhere to be...*laughs as she looks down at herself in the wheelchair then she looks up at Santana giving her a sympathetic smile*

Santana: *wasnt gonna comment on jasmines harsh sense of humour because Santana would be the exact same if she was in jasmines position* well... how about we get you into some cozy pj's then ill show you some videos and picture of her and tell you all about how much of a mad woman she was? *smiles excitedly that she will get to talk about Brittany and look back at all their memories together*

Jasmine: ok! *smiles as Santana smiles back* is it alright if i get cleaned up first? because I'm feeling pretty disgusting after not showering all day. *looks up at san nervously. Part of jasmine isn't wanting to keep san away from everyone for too long but the other part of jasmine also doesn't want to be left alone in an unknown place*

Santana: *smiles at jasmine* sure you can! Come and ill show you where everything is. *gets up from jasmines bed then walks into jasmines bathroom reminding her where she keeps all her body wash and everything bath related* ... *turns to jasmine once she places all the things jasmine will need, by her sink* remember the doctor said that it was gonna be best for you to just bath till you feel stronger, then you can start having showers again! *smiles sweetly at jasmine to make sure she doesn't think Santana is being harsh with her or anything*

Jasmine: right...*smiles at san feeling grateful that she cares so much about jasmine's well being*

Santana: *smiles at jasmine* ...alright, well ill leave you to get some privacy then once you are done just give me a shout. Or if you need help with anything before that, ill be here. *smiles sweetly, trying not to show how nervous she is about leaving jasmine to get in and out of the bath herself*

Jasmine: I will! Thanks! *smiles confidently up at san*

Santana: k! *leans down to give jasmine a kiss on the head then she leaves the bathroom and goes back to join everyone in the living room*

Jasmine: *sees that the bath water is almost all the way up so she reaches over and turns the tap off then she gets herself undressed* i can do this... *hypes herself up then carefully lifts herself out of her chair and slips herself into the bath. For the next 10- 20 minutes jasmine just lays in the bath with her eyes closed, letting her mind wonder to whatever doesn't bring her fear and anxiety*

Santana: *was sat on the couch, having a laugh with Kelsey and the boys* i better go check on jasmine* looks at her phone and sees that jasmine had been in the bath for quite a while so she excuses herself then walks into jasmine room and goes to knock on the bathroom door to get jasmines attention*

Jasmine: tana? *was on edge a little because she feels very exposed despite the amount of bubbles covering her body, only leaving her head above the water*

Santana: *could hear that jasmine was freaked out by Santana suddenly appearing unannounced* don't worry sweetheart, its just me! I was coming to see how you were getting on?

Jasmine: yeah, I'm ok! *pauses for a moment to think* ....c-could you maybe help me get out the bath p-please? *she remembers how difficult it was for her to get herself in the bath so she is really worried about falling when she gets back out and tries to dry herself*

Santana: *could hear the hesitance in jasmines voice so that made san feel bad about invading her grown granddaughters privacy. Then again Santana cant just leave her to do it all herself because Santana also fears that jasmine could fall and hurt herself* of course sweetheart! *hesitantly reaches out and opens the bathroom door then walks in to see jasmine proper hidden under all the bubbles as she looks up at Santana nervously, biting her lip*
