Santana: *gets jasmines towel off the radiator. She closes her eyes as she brings the towel up to her face to feel the warmth* oh this is so cozy its making me wanna have a bubble bath too. *opens her eyes again to see jasmine smiling at her so san smiles back and goes to stand next to the bath* you ready to come out? *holds the towel out in front of her*
Jasmine: I think so... *smiles weakly and continues to bit her lip, thinking of what she fears will happen next*
Santana: *can see that jasmine is getting into her head* dont worry sweetheart, i wont let you fall. *smiles sweetly as jasmine looks up at her with teary eyes*
*after another couple of minutes with Santana encouraging jasmine, the younger woman finally found the courage to push herself up and onto her feet.*
Santana: *looked into jasmines eyes* there you go! I knew you could do it! *smiles proudly as she sees jasmine relax her shoulders* ...you ready to step out? *looks up at jasmine with a smile of encouragement. Just then she sees Jasmine tense up again and get a little off balance looking down at the floor* wow... I got you! You're ok! *caught jasmine before she could slip and fall*
Jasmine: *was holding onto Santana out of fear that she'd fall the second she lets go.* ...i cant do this! *gets upset and frustrated with herself for not being able to do the simplest of things*
Santana: *kisses jasmine on the head and rubs her back to try and comfort her* shhh, deep breath sweetheart! It's ok! ...lets get this towel round you before you catch a cold alright? *is trying to ease jasmine out the bath by taking baby steps in hopes that jasmine wont freak out again* ...we'll try this again and I'm gonna hold your hand the whole time, ok? *gently pushes jasmine off her so san can get the towel wrapped round her granddaughter* there we go! ... now deep breath! take my hand and step onto this mat down here. *points out the bath mat with her foot then looks back up at jasmine with a smile of encouragement*
Jasmine: *looks back at her grandma and reaches out to take hold of her hands. She takes a deep breath then lifts one of her legs over the edge of the bath then the other comes down onto the mat shortly after that*
Santana: *smiles proudly at jasmine already overcoming little hurdles after only being home for less than an hour* there you go! I knew you could do it! *smiles as jasmine smiles back then gives san a big hug, standing there for a moment in silence. Santana of course doesn't question the action and just hugs back, loving that she is finally able to hold jasmine close again after spending an entire week in the hospital thinking she was gonna loose her*
Jasmine: *started to feel her legs getting sore from standing so she lets go of Santana's embrace and sits herself in her chair. It was then that she looked up and saw that Santana had just wiped tears from her eyes* tana, whats wrong? *looks at Santana with worry*
Santana: *crouches down in front of jasmine and smiles at her* I'm just so happy to have you back home! *cups jasmines cheek and smiles more as she sees jasmine hold that exact hand and lean her head into it a little* i was so scared id loose you! *lets another tear fall as her chest hurts a little at the thought of when she lost Brittany and Jessica* ...I may or may not have fought the urge to slap some nurses in that place while we were there. *laughs as does jasmine because Santana definitely lost her temper a few times out of frustration for not knowing when or if jasmine would wake up*
Jasmine: *feels bad for making Santana feel that way after already loosing so many of her loved ones* I'm so sorry for scaring you tana! I didn't mean too. *frowns at san*
Santana: its not your fault sweetheart! ...stuff like this just happens sometimes. Lucky for us, you are here now and are getting better already. *smiles as jasmine smiles back*
*after Santana got herself together again, they both went into jasmines room and san helped jasmine get herself into some pj then she sat on jasmines bed so she could do jasmines hair for her*
*a couple of minutes later*
Santana: *stood up and took a few steps away from the bed so she could look at jasmine and admire her work* ....beautiful! *smiles as jasmine smiles back*
Jasmine: me or your hairstylist skills?! *had a very sarky tone so that made Santana laugh*
Santana: *loves that jasmine is becoming more and more sarcastic* me of course... *smiles cheekily to let jasmine know she was just messing with her*
Jasmine: *was loving their banter so she just keeps it going, gasping dramatically and holds her chest* how rude!
Santana: *giggles as does jasmine* I was only kidding... you are beautiful sweetheart! Don't you ever doubt yourself. *smiles sweetly at jasmine as she sits down on the bed in front of jasmine*
Jasmine: thanks tana! *smiles at how loving Santana is*
Santana: *smiles at jasmine* alright, would you like a glass of water before your nap or will you just get it with some food later? *helps jasmine get under her covers and tucks her in, placing her teddy unicorn next to her so she can cuddle with it if she wants*
Jasmine: *holds onto the unicorn and is confused as to why she is so comforted by, what would be considered a child's toy* this is weirdly comforting. *laughs at herself coz it just sounds like such a silly thing for her to like at her age*
Santana: *understands that what jasmine is saying, is all part of her memory loss. So she just smiles and embraces jasmine relearning about everything in her life* it must be a magical unicorn just like mine! *smiles as jasmine furrows her brows in confusion* ...Brittany won me mine on our first ever date! and ever since her passing, it has been my way of dealing with the loss because from one cuddle of my unicorn, its like i feel the presence of my Britt Britt right by my side when i need her most. *smiles as jasmine smiles back.* and i know you don't remember this but you have always been so overprotective of your unicorn because it was something you were given by your mama. *watches as jasmine looks down and her unicorn and pulls it closer to her chest*
