TW: EATING DISORDERS
Disclaimer: this isn't my favourite chapter. Tbh I think it's my worst one. I swear the next ones get better! I feel like I keep promising it, but I mean it!
HUDSON HOUSEHOLD
"Hey baby girl. Why aren't you in the dress I laid out for you?" Rachel asked her daughter Nini as she walked into her bedroom. "We are going to visit Aunt Britt and Aunt Santana in 20 minutes."
Nini was laying across her bed, on her stomach, looking at her phone.
"I wasn't really feeling the dress. Why can't I stay in my jean shorts and crew neck?" Nini softly asked her mom.
Rachel shook her head. "It's an expensive dress Nina. I would like you to wear it please. Comb your hair and put on some mascara then come downstairs. Your father, Seb and I will be waiting for you."
Nini rolled her eyes then threw her phone to the other side of her bed.
She sluggishly sat up and slid off her bed and grabbed the dress. Nini lazily put the dress on and brushed her hair. She decided to forgo the mascara because she didn't feel she needed it and she wasn't in the mood.
When Nini peered down the stairs, she saw her mom in a summery dress, and her dad and brother were in button down shirts with loafers.
"Is everyone ready for Carlos' birthday?" Rachel announced.
The rest of the family murmured in agreement then they all piled into the car.
Nini laid her head against the window and silently looked at the trees as they drove to Santana and Brittany's house.

LOPEZ HOUSE
"Happy Birthday sweet Carlos!" Rachel cheered as she walked into the front door.
"Thank you!" He replied as he hugged her.
Everyone exchanged hugs and hellos while the Hudson's came inside and got settled.
Finn, Rachel, Seb, Brittany, and Carlos were sitting in the back part of the house talking. Nini was in the kitchen drinking some water.
Santana walked in. "Do you want anything to eat or drink? You've been drinking water this whole time. That's not fun."
Nini shook her head and avoided Santana's confrontation.
"Nini, what's up? You look so uncomfortable."
"M'fine." She swatted Santana away.
"Is Yentl causing trouble?" She asked. Nini laughed at the nickname for her mom.
"It's nothing. Just this dress isn't what I had in mind for Carlos' birthday. And you know, I can't eat the chips or drink anything besides water because I'll gain weight."
Santana stood there in disbelief. "I'm sorry, but what the fuck? Excuse my language."
Nini laughed again then her laugh quickly dimmed. "But it's fine."
Santana stopped Nini. "No it's not fine. That's toxic. That is how eating disorders and body insecurities happen. You should be the Nini that you want to be. Eat a snack. Go upstairs and change into a pair of my sweats. Heck, throw your hair in a bun. Do whatever the hell you want."
A big smile grew on Nini's face. "Can you come up with me?"
Santana nodded and smiled. The two of them went upstairs into Santana's room.
