This is a sequel to a story I wrote called Lonely No More. You don't necessarily have to read that before, but it may help this story make more since. I hope you all enjoy!
I do not own Glee or it's Characters.
That night Santana stayed with Brittany in her hospital room until they were able to take Nathan home. They still needed to figure out where they would live and how exactly they could pull this off. All they knew is that they loved each other and the rest would fall into place.
Santana heard the hospital room door start to open as she opened her eyes. The nurse had a little baby boy in her hands and Santana didn't know what to do. The nurse handed Nathan over to Brittany as Santana just stared.
Brittany looked up at Santana waving her over. "Hey why don't you hold him?" Brittany says with a smile.
Santana looks hesitant, but puts her hands out as Brittany hands Nathan over.
Santana stares at Nathan and starts to get tears in her eyes. "Hey little guy" she says rubbing his head. Brittany looks on with joy knowing that the two people she loves the most are in the same room with her.
"I think you should move to New York with me." Santana says looking up at Brittany.
"What? You want Nathan and I to move to New York?" Brittany says not sure of what to do.
"Yes…Brittany I know this would be a huge step and we just got back together, but I think this would be the best for us. I am moving up with my job and I was looking into getting an apartment on my own. I could support both you and Nathan and you could try to find a job or go to school once Nathan is older and…"
"Ok" Brittany says before Santana can finish her rambling. Santana stops and stares into Brittany's blue eyes.
"Ok?" Santana asks.
Brittany touches the top of Santana's hand. "Yes, we can move to New York with you. This isn't going to be easy though. Both of us have never raised a child and this is a huge decision."
"I know, I know, but Brittany I know we can do it and I'm done having things getting in the way of us being together. We at least owe it to ourselves to try." Brittany looks at Santana and smiles knowing that she is right and this may be hard but this is what they both want.
"Well let me talk with my parents and let them know what we have decided. Once we do that we can go to New York and try to find someplace to live. Do you think Kurt and Rachel will be ok living with a baby?" Brittany asks.
"Yeah I will talk with them, but we won't be there for more than a week. I already have a few places picked out, but I want you to see them first."
Nathan starts to get upset so Santana hands him back to Brittany. They know that they have a lot of things to do before they leave for New York but that all can wait until tomorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce walk into the hospital room quietly trying not to disturb their new born grandson.
Santana looked up while holding Nathan and smiled at the Pierce's.
"Hey how is my grandson doing?" Mrs. Pierce asks Santana.
"He isn't crying so I would say that is a plus." Santana says with a chuckle.
Brittany just looks on adoringly seeing her girlfriend interacting with her son and parents. She knows she is making the right decision to move to New York in that moment.
"Here Mrs. Pierce why don't you hold your grandson." Santana and Brittany look at each other having a silent conversation of who was going to tell Brittany's parents that they were moving to New York.
Brittany decides to start the conversation since it's her parents after all. Santana gives Brittany's hand one last squeeze before she talks.
"Hey mom, dad" Brittany says to get their attention. Her parents look up with smiles on their faces.
"Yes sweetie what is it?" Brittany looks at Santana then to her parents.
"Well Santana and I have decided to try to make things work again. You guys knew how much I needed her and we want to raise Nathan together and have a family." Brittany waits for her parents reactions.
"Of course honey we figured you two were going to get back together since Santana came. We are so happy about this. Will you guys be staying at our house or find another house here in Lima?" Mr. Pierce asks with enthusiasm.
Santana decides to step in and let the Pierces know that they will be going to New York. "Well actually Mr. Pierce Brittany and I have decided together that we will be moving to New York. I've been moving up in my career and I can afford my own place now. Plus once Nathan is a few more months Brittany can go to school or teach dance." Santana says smiling at Brittany and caressing her arm.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce look at each other not sure of what to say. "How are you going to raise a child? You don't know what your doing and you will have no support in New York. I don't understand this at all!" Mrs. Pierce says getting upset.
Nathan begins to cry with all of the noise so Brittany takes him back and tries to get him to sleep again.
Santana is looking at the Pierce's not sure of how to make them understand. "Mrs. Pierce I understand that staying here would be easier, but I have a life in New York and make enough money to support both Brittany and Nathan. Yes we will have a harder time with no parents, but we have Kurt and Rachel and Brittany is a great mom." Santana says rubbing Nathan's head as he lays in Brittany's arms.
"So that's it you make a decision in one night to just up and go to New York. This is ridiculous Brittany you need to stay here!" Mrs. Pierce isn't understanding.
"No mom I don't. I love Santana and we can do this on our own. We will get an apartment and then work out all the details. The first few weeks will be hard, but once we have our own place things will be fine. Please trust that we can do this." Brittany asks pleading with her parents.
Mr. Pierce speaks for the first time about the situation. "Well I think you should try to do this on your own, but if you need anything or it gets to hard you always have a place at home." Mr. Pierce goes to hug Brittany and Santana.
"What! I can't be here right now!" Mrs. Pierce is irate and she marches out of the hospital room very upset.
Santana looks at Mr. Pierce with a sad smile. "Thank you Mr. Piece I promise I will take care of your daughter and grandson."
"I know you will Santana, just please call if you need anything at all." Mr. Pierce says before going to get his wife.
Santana looks at Brittany holding Nathan and smiles. "We can do this, I promise. I'm going to go call Kurt and Rachel to make sure they are on board with this then I'll be back." Santana gets up gives Brittany a kiss on the forehead and walks out of the room to make the call.
Out in the hallway Santana dials Rachel's number. After a few rings she picks up. "Hey I was wondering when you would call. How is everything going?" Rachel asks.
"Well things are actually going really well. Brittany decided to move to New York with me."
"Really Santana that's great! What about the baby? And where are you guys going to stay?"
"Well that's actually why I'm calling. Do you think we can stay at yours and Kurt's apartment just for a few days while we find one of our own. I already have a few picked out I just want Brittany to see them first." Santana waits anxiously for Rachel to respond.
"Of course that's fine! We would love to see Brittany and the baby! When do you think you'll be here?" Rachel asks.
"Well we need to pack a few things before we head there and make sure it's ok that Nathan flys but in the next couple of weeks?" Santana says.
"Ok great! I'll let Kurt know and we can't wait to see you!" With that Santana hangs up and goes to tell Brittany the god news.
They leave the hospital the next day. They wait for Brittany's two week check up before taking off for New York.
Let me know what you think? If I should continue?
Thanks.
