Hi everyone, so I'm just trying out a few new storylines recently, I'm just posting this first chapter to see what reception it gets and I'll take it from there. So Quick storyline cap: Santana and Brittany (Brittana, obviously.) consider adoption, but not a baby. They find an innocent teenager and fall in love at first sight. Will things turn out better or for worse? will the girls issues get in the way? will Santana finally warm up and change her attitude to the world?

Thanks for reading, review or something so I know if it's worth carrying on or not... XD

"Hi it's lovely to meet you, I'm Caroline" a plump blonde haired woman approached them and held her hand out to be shook.

"You too, I'm Brittany and this is Santana" it was obvious how excited the blonde air head was, they'd waited for so long.

The hallway they stood in was very bright, like they'd purposely dropped a rainbow on the building, though the house was fairly big it still felt cosey. They observed their surrounding subtly as the woman chattered on, the grand stair case was littered in kids converse and flower powered sandals, a small wooden table sat beside them covered in sparkly gel pens and decorated in princess stickers. The walls had various picture frames on each one, and all of them where filled with loving, smiling pictures of kids in all ages.

"... and so you can take a look around, right now most of the younger kids are playing in the backyard and the older ones should be up in their rooms" they snapped out of their bubble when the woman gestured for them to walk on. After a polite nod the descended down the hall towards the large glass doors, going each room they noticed how child friendly everything was, next to the large dining table was plastic chairs small enough to fit a dwarf on as well as many toys and legos on the floor.

"You ok?" Brittany was nervous, but she knew her wife was more, instead of answering the latina simply smiled before intertwining her fingers between her wifes. Coming up to the open doors they heard shouting and childish screams, the sound of a trampoline and pens scribbling through paper on the plastic table were also heard, "Carmen give me that back!" as soon as they stepped out they noticed a small girl clambering her way over to another child, there where at least seven kids and all of them where under four foot tall.

They stood out of place for a moment after waving slightly to one of the workers across the garden "what's your name?" the voice was so cute it could of easily melted their hearts, Santana looked down to see a little girl with blonde pig tails and blue eyes "I'm Tana and this is Britt" they decided to go with easier names for the younger ones.

The little girl was soon joined by another except she wore chocolate coloured braids "I'm Abigail" was the first thing she said, "how old are you Abigail?" Brittany interfered, she held her hand up showing only four fingers "four! wow you're such a big girl" the child giggled at Brittany's friendly tone.

"Do you want to colour?" They were soon sitting in a sea of children colouring flowers and other kiddie scenery, "who are you?" you could tell which kids where bitter about living in a care home "I'm Britt, what's your name?" the boy seemed to be around the age of ten, "Connor" he didn't stick around for much longer, instead he went around the table and picked the familiar girl from her bench "Connor stop it! I'll tell Lisa" she warned, both woman observed the argument wondering whether to talk "they're brother and sister" another boy with glasses leaned over to inform.

"They argue all the time!" they giggled at his cute attitude, "really? I have a little sister, we used to argue a lot too" Brittany returned.

"I have a baby sister..." the sadness filled his face heart breakingly fast, "she's not here though" and with that the geeky little boy scampered off leaving the two women with a mist in their eyes and a lump in their throats.

After half an hours baby talk they inched back into the house in search of the other children, "Carly you now owe me five bucks!" they followed the screeching into the kitchen where three boys and two girls stood laughing.

"Hi" Brittany's tone was cheerful, "hey" the kids must have been around twelve and thirteen "are you guys the visiting ladies?" one of the boys asked, "Mmhmm we came to say hello" Santana informed, "yeah well all the babies are out back..." the snarky comment was understandable considering Caroline warned them on the way in, "ignore him I'm Carly!" a very bubbly black haired girl held her hand out to be shook, "Santana and that's my wife Brittany" the latina looked up to the rest of the children expectantly "Charlie" one of the blonde boys nodded.

"Addison, that's Riley and Marvin" she pointed to the other two boys who were practically snarling, "...what are you guys doing?" the blonde stepped forward and looked over the counter full of open bottles and half filled cups, "playing bets, we mix really gross drinks together and whoever drinks it wins" Carly told with a simple shrug.

"Can I play?!" none of them where expecting that, "sure" the child giggled taking Brittany's hand and leading her to a stool nearest the kitchen island.

After an hours drinking things such as lemonade and coffee or milk and orange juice the tweens finally warmed up and crowded around the woman, "ok last one, if you drink this apple juice and coke you win" being Brittany she'd drank most of the grossness they'd placed in front of her. She grumbled swirling the mixture in it's neon pink plastic cup, "sorry kids I'm out this is just too far" she grumbled placing it back on the counter.

There was a chorus of disappointed sighs and as if on cue Caroline entered the kitchen "hey are you guys being good to our guests?" she completely ignored the large mess and smiled to the women, "they're being great" the latina answered. They said goodbye to their new friends before following the jolly woman back to her office near the front door "so I've got a few forms out for you to fill in, I won't keep you too long it looked like you guys where having fun" Brittany nodded almost feeling sick at the liquids bubbling in her stomach.

Once all the papers where filled they sat back in their one woman chairs "you ok?" Santana smiled noticing her fidget.

"Fine, those lil devils may have poisoned me though" the latina began to giggle just as Caroline entered the room again, she retrieved a folder from the cabinet and came over to the table "ok so this is perfect, I've set up-"

"Yell-ow?!" a loud voice projected from the hall where the door slammed, Caroline popped her head around the door "little late aren't you sweetie?"

"I know I'm sorry..." both women became curios and stood to inch closer to the door "...Jolie was crying over-something so me being the great friend I am waited till she stopped" it was definitely a girl, she sounded very sarcastic and Santana like, they stepped fully into the hall behind the plump blonde to see the back of the girl who was shuffling through papers on the sticker covered table. She was quite tall and slim, her dark brown her fell below the colourful Waikiki embellished rucksack that sat firmly on her back, underneath she wore black leggings and a tight black vest top with a light blue unbuttoned denim shirt over.

"So Yeah I'm sor-" she turned swiftly to see the three women staring at her, her face was even more beautiful than they imagined, she was fairly tanned with pink glossed lips and sweet hazel eyes, her thick black eye lashes curled longly and her cheeks where almost blushed. "Uhh hi" she waved slightly and smiled, "honey this is Santana and Brittany, they've come to say hello" Caroline informed.

"I-I err I'm Kurtley, Kurtley Grace Lawler... I know my name sucks so everyone calls me Lee" she giggled nervously, Caroline noticed the friendly glint in their eyes and politely excused herself back into her office.

"I like your name, one of my best friends called Kurt! how old are you?" Brittany asked, this girl seemed different to the other children.

"I'm guessing Kurt's a boy... my point exactly..." they giggled before letting her continue, "I'm fifteen, sixteen in April" the two older women nodded, in a way they desperately wanted the conversation to continue so she wouldn't leave.

As if on Cue the older blonde came back into the hallway after noticing them hit it off, so doing her job she decided to help the conversation along a little "why don't you take Santana and Brittany up to your room and show them your things?" the teenager nodded graciously before following up the grande staircase.

"Excuse the mess by the way, it's not too bad but the little kids always get in and move my stuff" she warned going up the stairs, after the second staircase and a few paces down the hall they finally came to her room. The door was painted a pastel green and had 'Kurtley' in pink wooden letters across the top, she pushed it open and went straight in, the room was fairly large and was painted lilac. Her bed was situated nearest the window and the walls where covered in posters and photos "nice room" Brittany nodded watching her slump her bag onto the bed.

"It's ok" she smiled, Santana being quite made her wife interfere "do you remember your room in high school San?" the latina's head shot up and she smiled thanking her.

"Uhh yah it was pink with white furniture, I had many music posters like yours actually" Kurtley grinned taking it all in, "are you in high school?" she added.

"Umm... no, I get anxiety so I'm home schooled, however I'm always at my best friend Jolies house. I've known her since I was four" she informed sitting down, she felt almost guilty for asking, obviously every kids in this place had their problems, some where abandoned, some had disabilities, but to them it didn't matter, every one of them was beautiful and perfect, they'd probably adopt them all if they could.

They sat talking about random topics for the next thirty minutes till another unfamiliar teen barged in "hello" he greeted sweetly, "hey Teo" Kurtley returned.

"This is Santana and Brittany" she pointed each woman out.

"Cool, I'm Teo well Theodore but no one calls me that" he smiled, he looked slightly older than Kurtley with blonde hair and blue eyes, "ok... well I'm gonna go see Marvin" and with that he left.

"He's eighteen, Marvin's his little brother"

"How many kids are here in all?"

"Well it's complicated, many of the kids here have a sibling also, the top floor is for the oldest and the bottom for the youngest. So in all theres around twenty five of us, but only five are over the age of thirteen, about seven are six to thirteen and the rest are little kids" the two older women nodded as she spoke.

"Do you like it here?" the teenager thought for a moment.

"...Yeah, it's better than a lot of places I've been before. At least when your here they treat you like your age and like you're family- you don't need to speak to me you know?" their heads snapped up from her words "-nearly everybody comes in here and wastes time, they hang out with the older kids and give them false hope and before you know it their signing papers to adopt the latest baby like something they've bought out of a store" they'd actually been waiting for her bitter side to come out... they all had one.

"Oh no that's n-"

"We won't do that, I promise" the girl saw something she'd never really saw before. Santana looked her directly in the eyes and smiled warmly... maybe even lovingly.

"... ok" she nodded, "so who are you adopting?" they chuckled at her bluntness "well it's only our first visit so no one yet"

"Lee... Leeeeeee!" Kurtley grinned before standing up to gently open the door, "as I was saying before, the little kids invade" a little girl no older than two sat giggling to herself behind the door, "hiya Piper" she greeted in a childish voice picking her up to put on her hip.

"Where's Lisa? huh? did you come up here all on your own?" the little girl nodded proudly as if it was a game making the two women giggle, Santana surprisingly stepped forward and used the side of her index finger to stroke the toddlers cheek "you're a pretty girl Piper" she cooed. They soon decided to return the baby to her correct place and go downstairs, they instantly noticed a flustered looking red head pacing "I was looking for you missy" she took the baby from Kurtley and thanked her.

"Lee come play in the den!" a little boy from earlier in the day called from the glass doors, the teenager shrugged before turning to the two women "you guys coming?"

They walked towards the back of the large field where many children had gathered "so what is it?" Brittany asked curios, "the home has lots of sponsors and last year they raised money to build us a tree top den" she explained as they got closer.

It was amazing. The first thing they saw was a large cut out circle of trees, a small wooden house perched across a few with bridges going to others which were attached to ladders, the sounds of child like giggles filled the air before a sea of youngsters descended from behind tree and ladders. Their cuteness was breath taking, many were dressed in ballerina tutu's or pirate outfits carrying around foam swords or fairy wands, each tree was dedicated to something different, "what's with the trees?" Brittany asked clambering through the sticks.

"We all have one even the workers, as you could probably tell that, that one over there..." she pointed to a very girly decorated tree with ribbons and glitter "...
is Carly's" they nodded in amusement while observing the others "Britt?!" they looked up to see Abigail swinging her legs from a bridge "hey!" she called back grabbing her wifes hand...

"Can we take them all?" she whispered in her ear "... I wish"

After a marathon game of hide and seek Caroline entered the den "come on guys, let's eat" she pointed back to the house and watched them all run past "-you two having fun?" once they were finally alone and all the kids had left she asked.

"Yes lots they're all so great" Brittany smirked linking arms with her wife as they walked across the field at a slow pace.

"Umm... Kurtley?" Santana finally coughed up feeling awkward "I saw you hit it off with her... that's rare, she doesn't usually speak to just anyone" they almost felt a sense of pride and accomplishment at her words, "she's an amazing girl" the latina complimented.

"Are you considering taking it further?"

They shared a look before talking "well I think we need to come visit a few more times but maybe" Brittany announced, "that's really great" the plump blonde replied almost choked, "-I've known Lee since she was nine years old, she really does deserve someone like you guys" she unexpectedly hugged the duo before dancing back into the house allowing Brittany to let out an excited squeal.

"Ok guys we gotta get going" they all sighed and awed at Brittany's announcement, considering they'd only spent the day there they'd already made a name for themselves "... will you come back?" a little blonde boy whimpered between the crowd, both women knew for a fact that even if they decided against adopting that all the children where parts of their lives now "off course! you guys are so much fun!" Santana had definitely learnt her way with kids throughout the day.

"One more thing?" their little heads popped up at the blondes sentence "we want hugs of each and every one of you" it was the most amazing sight, every childs face lit up as if christmas came in a matter of seconds if anything it was heart braking to watch. After hugging nearly everyone in the building Kurtley walked them to the door "... are you really gonna come back?"

"Really. I had so much fun today" Brittany held her arms out for the girl to walk into and surprisingly she did.

Kurtley didn't need to be asked twice and as soon as the latino replicated her wifes stance the teenager flew into her arms "ok so I'll see you soon?" she held the side of the door and waved as the married couple walked down the path. The teenager had never felt such an attachment, she wanted them to be their with her... maybe things where turning around for good this time.

They had an apartment. Living in New York it was perfect, it had three large bedrooms and a joint main room, the kitchen was fairly large and included an island, it sometimes felt too big for just the two of them.

"Ok so today was way too perfect" Brittany said simply plopping onto the couch, "-seriously though we should consider taking them all" all's Santana did was giggle as she removed her shoes by the door.

"Honey I think we'd need a bigger apartment" she slumped beside her and rested her head on the blonde's stomach, "-and some ear plugs... and a lot more money"

"Ok you've proved your point"

"...I hated how reserved some where, like we were gonna hurt them"

"Well... they've already been hurt before, just look at Kurtley for example, Caroline told me she'd gone through the adoption process many times but was always let down in the end" it broke their hearts to think how someone could hurt such a sweet girl, or any of the kids for that matter.

"I love her..." Santana snuggled her face further into her wife's side, "I love them all... you're changing me Britt, maybe we should take them all?"

Brittany stroked the top of her raven locks and closed her eyes, she wasn't sure how long she'd sat like that for put the phone starting ringing way too loudly for her liking, her eyes shot open to see it was going dark and Santana was in a comatose state still spread across her lap. She skillfully got up without waking her and made it to the phone just in time...

"Hello?" her voice heavy with sleep.

"Did I wake you? it's only eight" she recognised the husky voice as Quinn's.

"Yah, long day"

"Sooo?... how'd it go?" her excited voice woke her up even more.

"Honestly... amazing" she slouched onto the back of the couch and carried on "...they were all so perfect"

"Anyone in particular?" she wasn't sure if it was a good idea to tell her but she was just so happy she needed to tell someone.

"Maybe"

"Maybe? who?"

"You'll have to wait like everyone else... good-bye Quinn" she smirked putting her finger close to the button, she heard many squeals and begs off the blonde but completely ignored her.

"Sanny?" she kneeled beside the sleeping latina and gently shook her arm "San come on you sleep like a brick" her eyes snapped open "offensive!" she exclaimed tiredly sitting up "-who's on the phone?"

"Quinn, curiosity getting the better of her so I just put the phone down"

"You're becoming way too much like me... I'm so proud" Brittany giggled before scooting her over so she could sit. "I like the way she's so nosy, she cares" Santana thought about her wife's words.

"Yah but it's annoying!"

"And if nobody ever called would you be happy?"

"... how are you so smart?"

"Well I am a member of mensa" both women giggled like teenagers before collapsing back into each others bodies, "why am I so tired?" the blonde sighed stroking the Latinas raven locks.

"Today was like one giant work out? we climbed the stairs a trillion times, ran around playing games and in your case drank vomit in a cup" she cringed at the last part before patting Brittany's stomach, "I'm surprised you haven't puked already"

"Oh believe me I felt like it, however I doubt the kids would have liked us as much if they saw me up chucking in their den"

"Off course they would have liked you, you're fun aunt Britt remember?"

"Sanny Krista's five and Luca's three, it really isn't hard to be 'fun aunt Britt' give them a bowl full of ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and they treat you like a queen"

"So that's your trick huh? anyway that doesn't matter... do I come across as cold?" the blonde pulled her wife closer onto her lap for comfort.

"No why would you think that?"

"Because... they all instantly loved you and it took a while for me?"

"Babe you know I have the mental age of a five-year old, they're my kind" she always found a way to make her giggle, the latina snuggled her head into the crook of her wife's neck before sighing heavily, "-besides you're way better with the teens, I must come off as such a man-child to them"

"Britt you're not a man..."

"I know but woman-child doesn't sound the same" Santana just about found the strength to laugh one more time before burying her head into her shoulder and allowing herself to drift off into a deep slumber upon the blondes knee.

"Hi"

"Hi"

They lay in bed staring into each others eyes thinking the exact same thing... "you're so beautiful"

"Britt you say that every morning and I look awful"

"Don't be so modest, you're gorgeous"

"You know how to make me swoon Ms Pierce"

"Ahem that's Mrs Lopez-Pierce, thank you very much" their heated debate soon turned into heated making out as always... but quite unsurprisingly the phone began vibrating "fuck you Quinnegan" Santana grumbled before even saying hello.

"Good morning to you too! anyways lunch today?"

"If you leave me to have sex with my wife, the rest of the day is yours"

"Ok first eww, and second I'll see you at twelve" she always gave off a false sense of cuteness where ever she went, "yah ok good-bye"

"... why are we even friends with her?"

"San we've known her for most of our lives"

"And? let's just ignore her for a while and she'll soon get the message" without another word Brittany pounced on her hoping to remove her early morning bitterness.

"Good morning, good morning, to you and you and you!" Kurt's voice could be heard a mile off from the parking lot.

"Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you" Santana hissed, "be nice San" Brittany voluntarily grabbed her hand and carried on into the restraunt, eyeing the latina every now and then. After many false greetings with: preggo, man-child, lumps the clown, Diane warren, porcelain and gay Clark Kent (Santana's words not Brittany's) they were finally seated and the center of attention...

"So how was is?!" Quinn was on some sort of buzz like always, "...are you bipolar?" Brittany quickly jumped in to disguise her wifes comment.

"Good! we met so many awesome kids" she informed glaring ever so slightly at the smug smiling latina.

"What were they like? how old? names?"

"Before you even ask Kurtey..." she smiled genuinely remembering the teenager but soon snapped out of it "there was no random burst into the Annie repertoire so don't be disappointed" there were a few giggles but the gay didn't look too amused.

"Who stole your rainbow little miss?" he knew how much she hated gay clichés.

"Fuck you Hummel"

"Burn it bitch!" the whole group sat trying to suppress laughter at their all but too familiar arguing, "anyways back to yesterday..."

"We met a teenager called Kurtley and she's sooo amazing!" Brittany squealed unable to hold it any longer.

"Ha it's a sign, I'm awesome!" Kurt grinned.

"... or a girl"

"Kurtley? that's a bit odd" Rachel butted in getting a snotty side glance of her brother-in-law.

"Well her full names Kurtley Grace Lawler and she goes by Lee"

"Teenager? you're brave"

"For your information Ex-fetus face, she's fifteen and she's great"

"Naww Sanny has a heart"

"I punch hard Pucklo"

"What is up with you today?" Quinn finally asked noticing the attitude, "-we know your bad but not this bad"

"Nothing is 'up' with me today... just tired"

"Did you use your years worth of niceness on the kids?" Blaine Anderson bit back.

"I'm officially proud of you Warbler, at least I'm now sure you actually have balls"

"Santana?!" Brittany stopped a smile from engulfing her lips, "-seriously chill a little"

An eary silence filled the table "... so guess who's auditioning for Eponine?" Rachel smiled looking to start another conversation... about her.

"...Tv's blossom?" with that the whole table erupted into a round of laughter, Brittany attempted to tell her off once more but she couldn't help smile. Yes Santana had an attitude, and yes she was a bitch to pretty much everyone, but she wouldn't change her for the world.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"We should buy a house"

"Where's this coming from?"

It was later in the afternoon, Santana sat dressed in sweats and reading glasses at the dining table with her laptop while Brittany attempted to fix the broken cabinet nearby, "We're getting old, we can't live in an apartment for the rest of our lives. I want to be able to say I lived in a house before I die" the latina always came up with random, spontaneous things, but this...

"I like our apartment, it's big and homey" Brittany's mind wandered into lala land as she thought, "-however keep it in mind for future reference... you know when we're adopting five hundred kids"

"Dream on honey" she nodded going back to typing.

"...we need to talk about yesterday" it was rare to hear Brittany's voice in a serious tone.

"I know but... just-"

"San? this is important" the blonde stumbled from the floor and sat opposite her in the wooden dining chair. "So. What are we doing?" Santana chuckled humorless at her question, "your guess is good as mine, Britt"

"This is important you know? it's our future"

"I know, I know it's just so- difficult. How can we go back in there and say I want 'you' out of all of them, as if we're buying them from a store." every word made sense yet it didn't.

"It's just the way the cookie crumbles" Santana couldn't help but half smirk at her child like quote, "maybe we should just go back for the day again... talk some more" the blonde nodded understandingly before walking around the table and perched herself on her wifes lap, "I love you" she wrapped her arms around her neck and placed a loving kiss on the tips of her lips, "love you too".
