Hello everyone I'm back with the sequel to Unpopular Love. I've gotten a lot of requests for this piece so here's the first chapter. I'm planning on writing a total of nine chapters. I'm not sure how often I'll be updating as I'm working on this piece at work during down times.
Unbreakable Love
Santana holds on tightly to Brett's hand as they walk through the airport. She's not ready to let him go. The last four years have been amazing for them at Princeton. While the football didn't do amazing, they were much improved and he ended up being drafted in the first round by the Dallas Cowboys as a corner. He's headed to Dallas for training camp she's staying here on the east coast as she's gotten into John Hoskins. He's extremely proud of her getting into one of the top med schools though it's not surprising since she did graduate top of her class at Princeton in premed. Neither of them is looking forward to spending the better part of the next four years apart, but they know that they can make it through plus it's not guaranteed that he'll be with Dallas for the next four years. He's hoping that maybe he'll be traded to an east coast team or released so he can try to make a team closer to her though since he's signed a four year contact with Dallas neither of those options seems likely.
"I don't want you to go." Santana pouts holding onto him tightly.
"And I don't want to leave you, but it's only until January, February if we make the playoffs." Brett says. "We'll visit each other as much as we can."
"I'm going to miss you so much." Santana says.
"I love you baby, I'll facetime you when I land." Brett softly says kissing her gently.
After several more long kisses, Brett finally has to go through security and they wave one last time before he disappears leaving her standing there. Luckily for her Quinn flew out for a few days to keep her company for the first few days. His family has said if she needs it Carol will fly out.
"It will okay San, you two will be back together before you know it." Quinn says wrapping her arm around her friend.
"I just miss him so much already. We haven't spent more than two days apart since we started dating." Santana says wiping tears out of her eyes.
"You know he's only doing this for the two of you." Quinn says. "He wants to be able to provide for you until you become a doctor and can provide for the two you."
"Do you really think he'll quit once I become a doctor?" Santana asks looking a little hopeful at her.
"I think that man will do anything for you." Quinn says as they start to head back to their car.
Santana sighs very sad about everything. She doesn't start school for another month, but couldn't go with Brett as we won't be able to see her until after she starts school so she didn't want to torture herself.
"So what are we going to do to keep your mind off of him?" Quinn asks.
"Let's go shopping I need some new clothes." Santana says.
"Okay let's go."

Brett walks over to the water table and grabs a couple cups on water dumping them on his head. It's been three weeks since he left Santana and he's glad that she's about to start school and will have that to distract her mind from him.
"Dude it's not that hot." Colin one of the other rookies says.
"I'm always hot." Brett jokes.
"Ha ha ha," Colin says. "Very funny man, no wonder why all the women always want to be around you."
"I don't want any of them so you can have them. I have a very lovely girlfriend that I plan on marrying one day soon." Brett says smiling at the thought of Santana.
"Ooo, how have I not heard of her yet?" Colin asks as they walk back out on the field.
"Because I don't like talking about her, it causes me to miss her even more than I do now." Brett sighs.
"Dude how long have you been with this girl?" Colin asks. "And what is her name?"
"Her name is Santana and I've been with her since senior year." Brett happily says thinking of happy times with his girlfriend.
"Of course you have, such an all American boy." Colin says shaking his head.
They head back out on the field to run more plays and get yelled at by the coaches. By the end of the day all of Brett's muscles ache and all he wants to do is go to bed. The only reason that he's not is that he promised to skype Santana tonight.
'Hey baby,' Brett says when he sees her face pop up on the screen.
'B,' Santana groans. 'I feel awful,' she whines.
'Awe baby what's wrong?' Brett asks.
'I haven't felt good all week and today I was puking up a storm.' Santana whines just wanting his strong arms wrapped around her right now.
'I'm sorry baby that I can't be there with you.' Brett softly says.
'I miss you.' Santana says.
'I know baby, I miss you so much. I'll be up there in three weeks when we get the weekend off.' Brett promises her. 'Until then rest as much as you can and call me if you start to feel worse.'
'Okay B,' Santana sadly says.
'Hey baby wipe that frown off your face I'll be with you sooner than you think.' Brett says wishing that he could be with her right now.
'I just wish you were here to hold me.' Santana whines.
'Hug that big bear I gave you and it will be like hugging me.' Brett says his heart breaking at seeing how sad his girlfriend is.
'It's not the same.' Santana sniffles.
'I know it's not but it's the best I can do right now.' Brett says seriously considering leaving to go see her now.
'I don't know if I can do four years of this.' Santana says wiping away some of her tears.
'Try for a little while for me honey. You've gotten into an amazing med school and I don't want you to give it up for me, okay.' Brett says seriously.
'I'll give it a try.' Santana promises.
'Okay baby, I'll talk to you tomorrow.' Brett says blowing a kiss at the screen.
'I'm looking forward to it.' Santana says.

Santana walks into her doctor's office. She hasn't been able to shake this cold and has finally after two weeks decided to go see her doctor to finally get rid of it.
"Santana Lopez," a nurse calls.
"Hi Becky," Santana says smiling at her.
"Why are you here?" Becky asks.
"I've had a cold for two plus weeks and I haven't been able to shake it." Santana says. "I've been throwing up after eating, my body aches and I've been extremely tired lately."
"Well we'll run a few tests before the doctor comes in." Becky says smiling as she's pretty sure she knows what is wrong.
"Good, I need to shake this before my boyfriend comes up for a weekend visit." Santana says frowning when Becky takes some blood.
"I'm sure we can have everything figured out by then." Becky says. "The doctor will be in shortly."
"Thanks Becky," Santana says.
She looks around the room before pulling out her phone to play some Pokémon Go while she waits for the doctor to come in.
"Well Ms. Lopez I have good news." her doctor Julia says walking in.
"What is it?" Santana asks wondering how having flu or something could be good.
"You're pregnant." Julia says thinking that Santana will be happy about this.
Santana just about falls over when she hears this.
"I'm what?" Santana says in disbelief.
"You're pregnant, do you know about how far along you are?" Julia asks sensing this might not be happy as she originally thought it was.
"I don't know five or six weeks." Santana says trying to remember when her last period was. "How did I miss this." she gasps.
"It's normal if you're not trying to be shocked, but everything will be okay." Julia tries to reassure her.
"No it won't be." Santana says holding her head in her hands.
"Santana I'm sure it will be better than you think." Julia says rubbing her back. "Surely that wonderful boyfriend of yours will be supportive."
"I'm sure he would be if he weren't in training camp in Texas." Santana sniffles.
"Well…." Julia says unsure of what to say to that.
"Thanks Doc, I'll schedule an appointment for a few weeks right?" Santana asks.
"Yes, in about a month." Julia says hoping that everything turns out okay.
"Now I just have to figure out how to tell him." Santana says to herself as she leaves.

The next few days are very hard on Santana as she can hardly talk to Brett and every time she does it's short and he's always falling asleep. She hates the distance between them not only literally, but also them as a couple. Both of them is feeling the strain of distance and neither like it.
"Thanks for coming Quinn." Santana sighs as the two women sit on the couch.
"Well you sounded desperate and I wasn't about to not come." Quinn says very worried for her friend.
"It's just I found something out last week and I don't know how to tell Brett or even what we're going to do about it." Santana says biting her lip.
"Honey whatever it is I know Brett will support you." Quinn says even more worried now.
"I know, but it's just scary." Santana sighs.
"Maybe if you tell me I can help." Quinn offers.
"You have to swear not to tell anyone until I tell Brett." Santana says.
"Okay what is it?" Quinn asks now very curious.
"I'm pregnant." Santana says.
"Oh my god Santana! That's amazing!" Quinn shouts jumping up to hug her. "This is good right?" she asks when she realizes that Santana doesn't seem as happy.
"I haven't told Brett yet. How do I tell him that I'm pregnant while we're so far apart and I haven't seen him in months." Santana says falling back on the couch.
"Honey one it hasn't been months and two we both know that he will love you and this baby." Quinn calmly says.
"I know, but still with the distance it's put a huge strain on our relationship." Santana sighs.
"Go see him, we'll book you a flight for tomorrow and you can tell him. After that you'll find that everything is going to be okay." Quinn says.
"Okay,"
