By your Side
So this is my first Pezberry story! g!p! It's a little bit of an AU but not much. I know I started a Faberry story not too long ago, but I did that on a different computer and my cousin deleted all my chapters. So I have to rewrite the ten chapters I had written. So until then I'm going to write this story. Lovely Surprises is on hold! So this story… Quinn didn't give Beth up and Santana and Puck never hooked up, also Santana and Brittany ended their short relationship because they knew they were better off as best friends. So the story is about Santana and Rachel in a relationship. Santana has a G!P and she got Rachel pregnant. Now Rachel has just had the baby and Santana, being the protective girlfriend she is, hasn't left her side. Even though they've only been dating for just a little over a year, Rachel knew that Santana was going to be here every step of the way. So let's get started!

Chapter 1
After thirteen hours of labor and lots of screaming, Rachel Berry gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Mario Leroy Lopez-Berry. After nine months of thought Rachel decided she wanted to hyphenate his name so he also had Santana's last name.
"Wow, he's beautiful." Santana cooed running her finger lightly down Mario's cheek.
"He really is. I can't believe we're parents. This is incredible." Rachel cried. During the entire birth she couldn't stop the tears running down her face.
"You're incredible." Santana told her while kissing her forehead.
"I love you, Santana Lopez." Rachel said while looking at her girlfriend. Santana smiled and felt tears coming to her eyes as well while leaning in and kissing Rachel lightly on the lips. Just as Santana pulled away Mario started to cry.
"Aww I think he's hungry." Santana said. After reading about thirteen pregnancy books, Santana was a pro at all things baby.
"Yeah, I think so too. Um, can you help me?" Rachel blushed. Breastfeeding was something she was really nervous to try.
"Yeah. Here let me take him and you get ready." Santana grabbed the fussy baby out of Rachel' arms and watched as Rachel pulled down her gown.
"Okay, I'm ready." Rachel smiled and held her arms out for her son. Santana carefully handed Mario to her and smiled. This was her family now.
"Oh wow, this feels very…weird." Rachel giggled as Mario latched on.
"Like a bad weird?" Santana smirked.
"No, like a wonderful weird." Rachel smiled.
"You know Berry, this is the first time I've seen you bare-chested when we aren't getting our sweet lady kisses on." Santana smirked again.
"Santana! That is not an appropriate topic to talk about while I'm feeding our son. That is a private topic to talk about when we are alone. Not to mention that your parents will be here soon to see their grandchild." Rachel scolded. Santana would never admit it, but Rachel terrified her. She only lived to please Rachel and when Rachel said not to do something, Santana didn't do it.
"I'm sorry. And my parents said they will meet us at your house tomorrow." Santana told her.
"Okay, and apology accepted. Now will you do me a huge favor and call Quinn?"
"Babe, it's like 4 in the morning. There's school tomorrow."
"But she told me to call if I had the baby." Rachel pouted.
"Yeah, but she has a 16 month old baby at home. She needs her sleep. Trust me." Santana told her.
"Okay, but I want you to go back to sleep. I want you at school tomorrow until at least lunch." Rachel told her girlfriend.
"What? You really think I'm going to leave you here to take care of a baby by yourself? That's crazy Berry. I think you are too sleepy to understand what you're saying." Santana said sitting on the chair in the room and closing her eyes.
"No I'm serious sweetie. I want you at school, and I want you to come back here at lunch time. The doctor said I can leave around 12 tomorrow." Rachel told her seriously. Santana knew that there was no room for arguing.
"Fine, but only until lunch. I'll be back here around 10. Actually there's a Glee meeting at lunch so I'll be back around 11." Santana said with her eyes still closed.
"Okay. Now go to sleep honey. School starts soon and I don't want you to be tired."
"Not be tired? School starts in three hours and my girlfriend just spent thirteen hours in labor. I'm going to fall asleep during all my classes."
"I promise to let you sleep for a while when you get home." Rachel promised. Santana sighed and tried to fall asleep.

"Santana…Santana…SANTANA!" Mr. Schuester called out. Santana's eyes flew open and she realized she had fallen asleep.
"Yo, girl what's wrong with you? You've been falling asleep all day." Mercedes asked.
"You and Rachel had a late night last night?" Puck smirked.
"No, well yeah. Rachel had the baby last night." Santana sighed.
"WHAT?!" the entire Glee club shouted.
"She had the baby?!" Quinn and Mercedes asked at the same time.
"Yeah. She went into labor at like three yesterday. She had the baby at like 4 in the morning." Santana groaned.
"So what was it?" Finn asked.
"It's a boy. We named him Mario Leroy Lopez-Berry." Santana muttered while dozing off again.
"Santana, why don't you head back to Rachel and I'll get your homework for the rest of the day." Mr. Schuester offered.
"Okay, and she'll be home by 12, but she' exhausted so please don't come by until tomorrow. She needs to get some sleep." Santana said while picking up her bag standing up.
"That's understandable." Kurt nodded.
"Oh and Quinn Rachel said that she wants you to bring Beth by soon."
"Okay. Tell her I will." Quinn smiled. Santana sighed and walked out to her car. Before pulling off she quickly texted Rachel to tell her she was on the way.

The nurse had just taken Mario back to the NICU and Rachel got up to get everything ready to go. Just as she was pulling her sweat pants on Santana walked in.
"Whoa, a show." Santana smirked.
"You're such a perv." Rachel rolled her eyes.
"But I'm your perv." Santana made her way over to Rachel and wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist.
"That you are." Rachel smiled and wrapped her arms around Santana's neck to pull her in for a kiss.
"Oh, we're sorry to interrupt." Leroy and Hiram Berry blushed as they walked in.
"It's okay daddy. Come in." Rachel smiled at her fathers.
"So where is little Mario?" Hiram asked excitedly.
"The nurse took him back for his last bath and to take the pictures. She'll be back soon with him and his birth certificate and the pictures." Rachel explained. She was finding in difficult to speak now with Santana hugging her from behind and leaving small kisses on her neck.
"Aw that is the cutest thing ever!" Leroy whispered loudly to his husband while gesturing to Rachel and Santana. Santana's little kisses were getting longer and Rachel couldn't help but close her eyes and let out small moans. They were completely comfortable with PDA around Rachel's fathers after a whole year.
"So girls. Hiram and I decided that when we get home we will let you guys get a little sleep, and we will take care of Mario. If that's okay." Leroy suggested.
"That sounds amazing Daddy." Rachel smiled gratefully at her dads.
"Yeah thanks Mr. B. You have no idea how much that means to us." Santana said.
"It's no problem. You've got to get some sleep. I mean when you first came home Rachel, your daddy and I didn't sleep for three days. You were a demanding baby." Hiram laughed.
"Yes you were. Also, Santana your parents are at our house cooking a meal for you guys. Hiram and I also finished the nursery completely. Hung up all the clothes and vacuumed so there's no mess."
"Wow, you guys are the best." Santana smiled.
"Is your room set up for him too?" Rachel asked Santana.
"Yeah, I put together the bassinette and cleared two drawers for some of your clothes and I bought a small dresser to put all his stuff in. There's a bunch of diapers and clothes and all that other crap there too." Santana told her.
"Good, no have you two decided on a shift? Like who gets up in the night and who changes diapers?" Hiram asked sitting on the hospital bed.
"Well I offered to take the first night shift considering Santana has to go to school. Plus she needs to go to sleep for Cheerio's practice tomorrow."
"That is not what we agreed on. I told her that I didn't care about Cheerio's practice. I'm taking the first night shift because she needs to sleep." Santana told them with a roll of her eyes.
"Well, neither of you are taking the first night shift because we are. Both of you need at least twelve hours after the birth. I mean Santana looks like she's going to pass out any second now and Rachel looks like she's a zombie." Hiram said.
"Again, thank you. I appreciate all that you guys are doing for me even though I was the one who got your little girl pregnant." Santana said shyly and hung her head. To anybody else Santana would've been a total bitch, but she respected these men.
"Santana, we told you nine months ago and we'll say it again. It's okay. Mistakes happen. Nothing is going to change the fact that you two had sex. We obviously see that you two love each other and that you won't hurt our daughter. Plus, we're granddaddies now!" Leroy cheered.
"Yeah, and it takes two people to make a baby. You two made a mistake, but you did the right thing. Now you two have a baby that is going to grow up with people that love it." Hiram added.
"Thanks Mr. and Mr. Berry." Santana smiled. She looked down at Rachel who was basically asleep in her arms.
"Wow, is it weird that she can sleep standing up?" Santana asked giggling. She then guided Rachel to the couch so she could get a few minutes of sleep while she packed up the rest of her stuff.
Half an hour later the nurse walked in holding Mario and a manila folder. Santana stood up along with Rachel's dads.
"So Ms. Lopez here is your baby boy and all his papers." Santana took her son into her arms and placed in the baby blue car seat. Hiram and Leroy took the manila folder while Santana buckled her son up.
"Aw you're so cute with him." Leroy cooed.
"Thank you."
"He looks so much like you."
"Rachel said the same thing." Santana smiled.
"He does. He has your dark hair and your nose and your eye color." Hiram added.
"But somehow he manages to look like Rachel too. He has her head shape and from the cry we heard in the delivery room, he has her vocal chords too." Leroy giggled.
"He's just perfect." Santana whispered looking at her son.
"I just can't believe this. Our little girl has a baby at seventeen. She grew up so fast." Leroy cried.
"Dad, daddy can you take the tear fest somewhere else? I'm trying to sleep." Rachel groaned.
"Sweetie Mario's here." Santana told her. Rachel's eyes flew open and she stood up and made her way over to her 18 hour old son.
"Hi baby boy." Rachel cooed while kissing his forehead.
"I'm going to take the bags downstairs to my car and then I'll be back to come grab him okay?" Santana told her.
"Okay, hurry back." Rachel said standing on her tippy toes and kissing Santana lightly.
"I will." Santana smiled at her before walking out of the room.
"She's such a great mom." Hiram said to Rachel referring to Santana.
"Yeah she is. I love her so much." Rachel said bringing tears to her eyes.
"Sweetheart are you okay?" Leroy asked handing her a tissue.
"Yeah, sorry it's just that I'm so emotional." Rachel laughed through her tears.
"It's understandable dear. I mean you just have birth to a 7 pound 3 ounce meatball. That would make me emotional too."
"He's not a meat ball daddy. He's a baby." Rachel defended taking offence to her child being called a food.
"That's what I meant sweetie, I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Santana walked back into the room and smiled at her family that were standing around the car seat looking at her baby.
"Let's get out of here." She said grabbing the car seat and Rachel's hand. As they walked out Santana couldn't help but feel like she was on top of the world.
