first story so bear with me please. I don't know how many chapters I'm gonna write but I think of at least 10 chapters. Share your opinion with me about the chapter I'll appreciate it.
Chapter 1
I'm Lost Without You
"San! Are you ready? We are going to be late to our appointment!"
"First of all it's my appointment, Britt and why the rush it's not like the hospital will gain legs and decide to participate in the Olympics anyway", you say with a sly smile and try really hard not to roll your eyes at Brittany. You swore to her in middle school you would never use it on her and you had a few good opportunities to do that infamous eye roll but managed to keep it to yourself.
"Wait, hospitals can do that? I thought only humans were allowed to compete. Do you think Lord Tubbington would be able to try it out, too since he finally quit smoking and he is been losing so much weight, San, I think he is seeing some cat-lady he smells so ladylike lately." (Yep, this kind of opportunity for an example)
"You are so lucky that I love you, you dork", you say laughing, "We will check on him later promise, come on now and don't forget to lock the doors this time you math genius!"
As you settle in the car and head to the hospital Brittany's phone starts ringing with the special ringtone she had for her father.
daddy please don't it wasn't his fault he means so much to me, daddy please don't we're gonna get married just you wait and see
After singing along Brittany asks you to answer the phone due to her driving the car.
"Heyyy Papa Pierce!" You say enthusiastically.
"Who is this? Where is my daughter?" Pierce Pierce sounded confused.
You were familiar with this family's humor but played along anyway. You could use the distraction to not think about your babys gender. So you laugh and try to introduce yourself what felt like the millionth time. "Papa Pierce it's me, Santana", you say with a laugh. "Santana who?"
"You know, Santana, your daughters-", you got cut off by the voice of Whitney Pierce.
"It's yeasty, the yeasty girl", Whitney tells her husband and Pierce seems to finally get it.
"Ahhhh yeasty girl!"
Even you are still embarrassed by the commercial and the continually reminding of it by the Pierces you can't be mad at them. They helped you through so much.
"Yes, that would be me" You are so done with commercials you will never do another just never.
"Santana do you know the gender already? Do you have a name? Do you consider to deliver your baby in an Indiana barn maybe?" You knew Whitney said the last part as a joke but you feel the need to tell the woman the truth anyway "Sorry Mama Pierce no way, no Indiana barn for my baby and no we don't know the gender yet. Actually we are headed to the hospital. The appointment is in – let me look –" you throw a quick glance at your phone "15 minutes don't worry I will let you know as soon as I do okay? But I really need to go know Brittany just parked the car and sends her love" Before you end the call the Pierces say their goodbyes.
"Bye girls love you" "Bye yeasty bye Brittany" So typical of Pierce Pierce.
"Thank you, Brittany you were some of a help" You say sarcastically but Brittany knows that you do not mean it.
"It was so much better to listen, San hahahaha. Get out San come on" Brittany took your handbag
and carried it to the hospital. You are so grateful for Brittany. You have always been but especially these last five months. She made your pregnancy so much easier to cope with.
At the nurse station you inform the nurse about your arrival. "Is this your first time seeing Dr. Montgomery?", the nurse asks. You both answer at the same time with "Yes" you look at Brittany irritated by her responding too when the question was clearly for you. Brittany mumbled a quiet "Sorry just excited" Brittany took this way too serious but you think it is just cute. If you didn't know better you would think Brittany would be the one carrying the baby with the way she acted.
"You can take a seat in the waiting room. The doctor will call your name and please fill the forms and give it back to me after you are finished."
You side-eye the nurse as you go to the waiting area. "I don't like her."
"Who?" Brittany asks while sitting down.
"That nurse" You follow suit.
"Why? Did she do something?"
"No, just because" Brittany laughs at that. It was clear, the hormones were speaking. It would happen sometimes. At unexpected moments you would get hysterical, and bawl your eyes out in the next minute. "Don't be ridiculous San she was being nothing but professional." "Exactly, Brittany!" Brittany looks at you with a look saying 'really Santana'? You were trying to prove a point that wasn't there and you realize that.
"Santana López?" A voice calls from down the hall.
"Here!" You go into the treatment room and greet Dr. Montgomery.
"Hello, I am Brittany and this is Santana."
"Hello nice to meet you both. So Mrs. López would you lay on the stretcher and tell me all the important information I need to know, please?" You lay down and pull your shirt up so the doctor could examine your belly and the baby. Just as you were opening your mouth to answer Brittany started rambling.
"She's twenty weeks pregnant, no cramps, no bleedings her gynecologist said the baby was growing healthy and even she is that far the baby won't show its gender and that is why we are here."
You are amused by that. Brittany managed to be her silly self when she detects you nervous because of something.
"Thank you Mrs….-"
"Pierce", Brittany finished. You couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"- Pierce but I would like to talk to Mrs. López now."
"Of course, sorry doctor." Brittany wasn't sorry at all she knew you needed that so no she really wasn't but that half stern look from the doctor and the 'I'm okay' look from you eased her worry.
Brittany made funny faces and you tried not to laugh but when the doctor shot you a glare you knew you needed to get to business. Dr. Montgomery started with the first question.
"How old are you Mrs. López?
"Twenty-six"
"Okay good… Is that fertilized egg yours or Mrs. Pierces, Mrs. López?"
At that question you both shout a shocked "WHAT?" You are the first to recover from the shock. "Of course it's mine! Why would you think such a thing?" You snap.
The doctor felt embarrassed and tried to save the situation. "I am so sorry I just thought with the way you were so familiar with each other, your medical file saying you are married and Ms. Pierce talking on your behalf, that you two were married. I am truly sorry I did not mean to offend any of you." Brittany watched the scene and didn't know how to react. Santana weren't even gay for that matter. Yes Brittany was bisexual and she knew that Santana was really good looking and she was her favorite person on the earth but come on she has known Santana since they were 12. They were close but not that close.
"Brittany and I are just best friends not more! Just because she's being a supportive friend doesn't mean that she is my girlfriend or wife for that matter! No me gusta doctor, no me gusta! You just awakened aunt Snixx."
The doctor was speechless and didn't know what to do. You seemed to be ready to launch at him when Brittany wouldn't have jumped in between in time trying to calm the you down. She holds you back by the shoulders and tries to whisper in your ear "Santana calm down, pleaseee. Think of your baby San." Brittany caresses your back and that seems to calm you down.
The doctor puts a safe distance between him and you. "Again Mrs. López and Ms. Pierce I'm really sorry I made an assumption. That won't happen again I can assure you that.
"I think we are done here I am too outraged to be happy about my babys gender. Can you please get my bag from the chair Brittany?" Brittany obeys and gives Dr. Montgomery an 'I'm sorry' look. On your way out you turn to him and say "Remember doc, when you make assumptions, you also make an ass out of u and mptions." and leave the hospital.
Before both of you open the doors of the car Brittany leans on the hood and says to you "You know San I should be hurt and be mad at you. "
"What? Why?" You face Brittany now and are confused. You didn't do anything to Brittany you didn't even talk to her in the last five minutes.
"Is it such a horrible idea to date me that you were so close-" Brittany puts her index finger almost on top of her thumb to show a little gap between her fingers. "- to go all Lima Heights on him, Santana?"
"But he said I was a lesbian, Brittany! I am not gay! This child in me proves it! I am straight!" You point to her stomach even Brittany can't see it due to the car separating you.
Brittany felt attacked by your words and became serious.
"What are you saying Santana that being gay is wrong?" Brittany couldn't believe what she heard, was it true? Was it Santana who is speaking? The same Santana who has been so supportive of her since she realized she liked girls too. At first she thought she was gay but she turned out to be bisexual and there were times she would get harassed, humiliated even. Not only from homophobic people but from lesbians too because they would think bisexuality wasn't a real sexuality. But it was real. Brittany was real.
"No, Brittany that wasn't what I was-"
"You know I'm bisexual and I had relationships with women Santana. Did you think of them badly, too? Of my so called 'lifestyle'?" You never saw Brittany so worked up before but you never got on Brittanys bad side either.
Brittany was pretty serious know. She started the conversation as a joke but it became serious really fast.
"How did this escalate so quickly?" You wonder with a confused face.
"When you said you supported me and my feelings, were you lying, Santana?" Brittany is too deep in it to turn back now. She had to know.
"What? Brittany NO! I never lied to you" You try to keep your cool you know the roles are reversed. You have to keep your mind for both of your sakes. You look around to see if you caught the attention of others and surprisingly find no one there.
"And when I cried on your shoulder so many times because of break-ups did you feel grossed out by me, Santana? Because I live such a sinful life?" You only realize the tears in Brittanys eyes now when you look back to her and can't help but blame yourself over and over again.
"No, Brittany I never thought that of you please I don't want to fight with you. Let's go home please Brittany." You hope to clear the air at your apartment and continue the conversation there.
"You know what Santana I think you should drive home alone. See you later." Brittany shoves the car keys on the hood of the car towards you and when you catch them she turns and walks away.
"Brittany, wait I didn't mean it! Brittany!" You shout but Brittany won't listen. You consider running after her but being 5 months pregnant did not make it easier so you have no other choice to wait at your apartment to speak to Brittany. So you climb into the vehicle with guilty feelings and drive home, yours and Brittanys home…..
I hope you liked it. Please leave a review or just ideas or suggestions cause it's the only way to let me know :)
I started it to be funny but I am telling you it will be mixed with heavy feelings. Who is the father of Santanas baby? And why isn't he in the picture? So many questions.
I used a quote by Natasha Negovanlis and changed only one word:
"Remember kids, when you make assumptions, you also make an ass out of u and mptions."
