CHAPTER 1:
There were very few things that scared Santana Lopez in life, very few. I mean sure as a teenager she was scared of love and her secret lady loving ways but no now as a 29 year old woman there truly was very little that scared her. Accept what she saw now as she pulled into the driveway of her McMansion. She saw sitting there the bright pink Porsche she knew belonged to the one and only Sugar Motta. Which meant one thing, her and Brittany were up to no good. "What is your mother doing?" Santana grumbled as she went to the backseat to unstrap her and Brittany's 2 year old daughter from her car seat. "Sugar Sugar Sugar!" The toddler clapped as she pointed to the Porsche. Yes this was gonna be real bad. Brittany only involved Sugar when she had a plan or a scheme of some kind. She walked into the door and placed the toddler down as she went screaming through the house "My Sugar! Mommy! Sugar! Mommy!" Santana followed her toddler around the living room and then she saw them standing there in the dining room both with a weird glint in their eyes. Brittany lifted up little Valerie peppering kisses all over her tiny cherub face then said the dreaded words Santana knew were coming "I HAVE AN IDEA!"
"Oh god what now!" Santana whined and plopped down into the empty dining room chair. Brittany started to clap her hands, she winked at Sugar and began her pitch. "Okay so Santana as you know our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming and I want us to have a theme for our party this year!" Brittany's eyes were shining and Santana knew this was gonna be bad she just knew it. She looked up to Sugar and asked "How do you fit into allllll this?" Sugar winked and replied with "Obviously my creative skills and my endless bank account" she smiled brightly.
"Santana don't you remember me telling you about my idea this morning? You said you agreed and I should call Sugar or Cedes tell them." Brittany asked. Santana just stared at Brittany with a blank stare "Was I awake when you told me the idea Britts cuz I dunno what you're talking about" Brittany scrunched up her nose at her wife "Yeah you were looking right at me! You had just gotten up to change Buzz's diaper" Brittany kept talking and then Santana stopped her "oh okay so this was at 3am! Of course!" Santana was about ready to crack. See Brittany always got her "best ideas" at 3am when other humans were asleep. And being as whipped as she was Santana always helped Brittany with the ideas.
A few weeks ago it was that Brittany wanted to plant flowers in flower boxes outside their McMansion so it looked happier. So Santana did it. Months ago it was that Brittany wanted to take karate classes as a family, so Santana enrolled them. Years ago it was that Brittany had watched an infomercial about starving children in Africa, she woke Santana up hysterically crying about how sad it all was so being the extremist Santana is she went to Africa an ended up adopting a baby for Brittany.
She was truly whipped.
"Don't worry Santana it'll be a surprise you don't have to do a thing." Brittany stated confidently. "I dunno babe, I'm still trying to get over our last surprise." Santana said as she pointed to the 8 week old baby boy sitting in the bounce chair on the table. It was quite the surprise; The African embassy had contacted the girls 4 weeks ago to let them know Valerie had a newborn sibling who needed a home ASAP. Knowing he had a blood relative out there they thought it would be best to try to keep the siblings together. There was no way they Brittany and Santana would say no to that. So here they are with this new baby boy whom they haven't yet named Brittany had taken to calling him Buzz. "Okay Brittany you and Sugar can do whatever you want. Just make sure it's within a budget babe we have two kiddos to send to college now." Santana said. "Whaakooosh" Sugar made a whipping noise at Santana.
As the days went on Santana tried her best to ignore some of the things sugar and Santana were discussing but some things just caught her ear. Words like "stage" and "horses". "What are they talking about Val?" Santana asked her daughter hoping she'd say something "not tellin' Ma" the toddler would say as she smiled brightly and run away. "Valerie Mercedes that's not even nice!" Then she turned and asked the baby "well Babes what do you think it involves? Stages and horses? Maybe it's a circus!" The baby just blinked at her. "Yeah I know I'm pathetic, you shouldn't be so snippy with me shhh be quiet!" She said back to the baby. She wanted to peek and see what was happening, even though she tried to act like she didn't care she truly did. Brittany being her genius clever girl locked all the decorations and plans in the dance studio she worked at outside of the house so Santana didn't even have a chance of ruining the surprise. But some things would be arriving soon that she had no hope of hiding. Brittany just hoped Santana wouldn't freak out and blow a gasket when she found out the theme for their anniversary party was "HOEDOWN THROWDOWN!" Brittany has a vision and her vision is strong!
It was a week away from the party and Brittany had been sending Santana out on special tasks to keep her away why she hid more decor and supplies in different parts of their McMansion. Currently Santana had taken both kids and gone to see Tina and Artie for the day. Tina was a big help in making sure to keep Santana busy for hours why Brittany tried to hide the bales of hay and horses. Everything Brittany had tried seemed to backfire in her face, with defeat Brittany ended up calling Mercedes. "Hey Mercedes remember when I named you god mother to our daughter?" Brittany said on the phone "Oh girl what the hell do you need?" Mercedes huffed "Help! How do I hide 4 horses from Santana for a week?" Brittany asked. "Oh hell to the no!" Mercedes yelled. A few moments of silence happened before finally Mercedes sighed with a "I'll be there in 10 minutes Brittany what have you done?"
As Mercedes pulled into the driveway she saw Brittany trying her damnedest to get the horse to follow her around the house. She her sugar cubes and carrots laying all over the yard. It was chaos.
