Brittany was super excited.. she couldn't even fall asleep. it was her 8th birthday tomorrow and she couldn't wait till the clock struck 12 to run downstairs and go through her presents. She was counting each minute until the time was up. Brittany was happy with her young life. She lived with her mama and her grandma. She knew that sometimes her mama found it hard to be a single parent and sometimes even Brittany found it a bit difficult to handle her mami's eccentric ways. she thought back to that afternoon.

Brittany was waiting outside the Pasadena Shopping mall waiting for her mami to show up..she was getting restless. as always her mami was late.

"Hey Little B"

Brittany heard her mami call her from behind. but she was angry at her mami. she was almost two hours late and Brittany had even missed her favorite TV shows because she rushed to come meet her mami.

"Baby c'mon..please listen to me..Look i'm only shit..only 2 hours late."

"Yeah 2 hours."

"Ok i'm sorry little B but i was busy."

"So was I. I haven't even watched television today...because I had to come to do your shopping. I can't handle everything mami. I'm your daughter not your wife." As soon as she said it Brittany bit her tongue. she knew how much that would hurt her mami. She quickly looked up at her mami and noticed that she had a hurt expression and she turned away from Brittany. Brittany went closer and hugged the older woman from behind.

"I'm sorry mami. I didn't mean to make you feel bad."

Her mother turned around and picked up her baby girl and hugged her tightly and held her closer.

"I know Baby B. It's ok. and you're right i shouldn't have gotten late. it's not very nice of me to keep you waiting for me. will you forgive me?" She held out her pinky and looked into her baby girl's bright eyes.

Brittany quickly attached her pinky with her mami and gave her megawatt smile.

"Yeah mami i forgive you."

Her mother kissed her gently on her forehead. "I love you baby girl."

Brittany's smile grew wider. "I love you too mami."

Brittany smiled to herself thinking about her mother. she knew that though her mami acted tough and strong, inside she was very sensitive. she also knew that she was everything to her mami. even though brittany knew how lucky she was to have a mom that loved her so much sometimes she wondered what it would be like to have both her parents with her. She knew how much her mami was missing her mom. She remembered the conversation she overheard between her mami and her grandma after they got back from their shopping trip.

Santana was sitting at the dining table going through some of her text messages while waiting for her daughter to come down for dinner while Maribel Lopez was setting up the table. Maribel looked at her daughter going through the phone and sighed.

"Santana do you remember Mr. Hiram and Leroy Berry?"

"Who?" Santana asked without lifting her head.

"They were our neighbors in New York."

"Ah yeah..I remeber mami. So what about them?"

"Well Leroy called today. You know they have a daughter about your age. Her name is Rachel. Leroy was actually telling me about her career in braodway and how successful she has gotten and i was talking about you and your business and he suddenly had the craziest idea. you know what he said?"

Santana groaned. she knew very well where this conversation was headed. But she figured that maybe if she played dumb her mother might leave her alone.

"No mami..i have no idea what he might have said."

"Well he said that you and Rachel might get along quite well and suggested that maybe we should set you guys up on a date. but i refused flatly. I did the right thing, didn't I mija?"

Santana sighed.

"yeah."

"I did the right thing?"

"Yes."

"So I was right."

Santana put her phone away and looked up at her mother and sighed again.

"Yes mami." Santana noticed her mom looking at her with slight hint of annoyance.

"Well I must have done the right thing. I never do anything wrong. So what if the girl is sweet and beautiful and successful. Everyone is beautiful these days. But who wants to get married?"

Santana got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around her mother, hugging her tightly from behind. she rested her chin on her mother's shoulder and sighed.

"What's wrong Mami?"

"Mija I just find this family incomplete."

"But why mama? I'm there, You're there and Little B is there.. who else do we need? I think this family is perfect"

"But Darling when I go out with my friends...they all complain about their daughters-in-law. and I can't even do that."

Santana untangled herself from her pouting mother and smiled at her teasingly.

"Oh that is a huge problem mami. So you need a Daughter in law just so you can complain about her?" Santana smirked at her mom.

Maribel looked into her daughter's eyes and sighed. she knew how stubborn Santana was.

"No mija.. I just want you to be happy."

Santana saw the sincereity in her mom's eyes and she knew how much her mother worried about her. she gave her a soft smile and said,

"But i am happy mami. I have you and my baby girl. i don't need anyone else."

Her mother looked at her and took a heavy breath.

"So you're not gonna get married again?"

"Mami, there are things in our lives which happens only once. We live only once and die only once. and love., that happens only once mami. it doesn't happen again and a again."

"Ok mija but what about Brittany?"

"Why? what's wrong with Brittany?"

"Don't you think she needs another parent darling? she can't come to you for everything mija. she needs someone to talk to. someone who won't threaten to beat up everyone that looks at her the wrong way."

Santana shook her head. she knew what her mother was implying. Santana was very over protective of her daughter. but she didn't wanna accept that she wasn't enough for her baby girl.

"She's just fine mama. She's got something which even I don't have. She has her mom's letters"

The clock struck twelve and Brittany was thrilled. she wished herself a Happy b'day and ran down stairs to find her pile of presents on the coffee table. She saw the huge pile of presents lying on the table. there were even some big boxes on the ground. She quickly looked through her presents searching for the one she wanted the most. The letter from her mom. Brittany's mom died 8 years ago.

8 years ago

Santana was sitting in front of her wife's doctor. she couldn't belive this was happening. just 30 minutes ago she was happier than she had ever been.. her wife had given birth to their baby daughter. a little brown eyed blonde who was the perfect mix of Santana and her wife. but now she couldn't belive what she was hearing. she felt numb all over.

"Mrs. Lopez? can you hear me?" The doctor's gentle voice brought santana out of her thoughts. she looked at the doctor through teary eyes.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lopez. but you're wife's condition is very critical. She doesn't have much time. We tried our best. She had severe internal bleeding. I'm sorry we couldn't do more. She knew there would be complications in her delivery. But she also knew how much you wanted this child. She loved this baby more than her life. I'm very sorry Mrs. Lopez"

Santana nodded at the doctor and got up. She walked out of the doctor's office without saying a word. She didn't know what to say. She wondered what she would've done if she had known about this earlier. She walked near her wife's room and gently opened the door. She saw that her mother was in there holding her wife's hand and sobbing quietly. The blonde held onto her mother in law's hand tightly. She loved Maribel as much as she loved her own mother.

"Mami please look at me."

Maribel looked at her daughter in law and a fresh set of tears fell from her eyes. the blonde reached over and gently wiped the tears away from her free hand and smiled at the older latina.

"Mami I want my daughter to know me. I want her to know Who her mom was, what she was like. if anyone ever asks her I want her to be able to answer all these questions herself. I'm leaving these 8 letters for her..1 for each of her 1st 8 birthdays. These letters have everything that I want to tell my baby girl. These letters are going to be her memories of her mom"

Santana couldn't take it anymore. she walked in not looking at her wife and rested her hand on her mother's shoulders. Maribel looked up at her and smiled. The older latina took the letters that the blonde was giving her and kissed her daughter in law gently on her forehead. Then she gave her daughter a comforting smile and quietly left the room.

Santana sat down at the chair her mother vacated. She still refused to look at the blonde. she was hurting so much and she was mad at her wife for hiding this from her.

"Hey San. will you be my friend?"

fresh tears escaped from Santana's eyes when she heard her wife's angelic voice. she shook her head furiously. the blonde put her hand on Santana's chin and lifted her face up to look into her eyes. Santana couldn't stop crying. She loved the woman in front of her more than anything else and the thought of losing her was killing her.

"You're very bad baby." Santana croaked out.

The blonde smiled at her gently.

"San, please promise me you'll never cry. coz you know, you look very bad when you cry." Santana let out a chuckle. She wiped her tears and took her wife's hand in both her own and smiled at her.

"San can you promise me something else too?" Santana looked into the sparkling eyes she loved so much and nodded.

"Will you.. Will you name our daughter Brittany?"

Instantly more tears filled Santana's eyes and they widened with disbelief. the blonde noticed the change in her wife's demeanour and lowered her head.

"I'm sorry San. I'm so sorry. I just-" Sanatana quickly squeezed the hand she was holding and cut her off.

"Ok baby.. I'll name our baby girl Brittany" Sanatana then gently kissed her wife on the lips and watched as the blonde smile at her peacefully and fell asleep. She got into her wife's bed and lied down next to her and held her close for the final time.

Brittany finally found her mom's letter underneath the huge pile of present. It had her name in front and a big number 8 in the back. She quickly ripped it open and began to read.

My Darling baby girl Brittany,

Happy Birthday baby. You are 8 years old today. I'm sure you look just like your mami. That same smile and those same eyes.

Brittany pouted. "No I look like you" she said it out loud. Then she realized no one was there and gave a sad sigh and continued read her mom's letter.

So baby tell me. Does your mami still go to bed with her socks on?

Brittany nodded her head with a smile. Her mami always goes to sleep with her socks on.

I guess some things never change. Baby, today you are a big girl and I know that you will be able to understand what I have to tell you. Darling today, I will tell you a story. A story about your mami, me and Brittany.

Brittany looked at the letter with a confused expression on her face. Brittany?
