Hello everyone I'm back with another requested Brittiago piece. Thank you mcdonalm5676 for the idea for this story. This story is going to be seven chapters of mostly drama which is very different from my normal stories. I hope you all enjoy.
Marriage Troubles
"Babe my tour got extended by a week." Santiago says batting one of his backup dancers away.
The last thing he needs is his wife finding out he's been hooking up with her on this tour. It's not like he's in love with this girl or anything, he loves his wife deeply, but he has needs and Brittany has to stay at home with their kids.
"Who the fuck is with you?" Brittany growls.
"No…one," Santiago gulps.
With that Brittany hangs up and Santiago throws his phone against the wall.
"Everything okay babe?" Amanda the girl asks.
"Get the fuck out," Santiago growls.
He holds his head in his hands wondering where everything he had with his wife started going wrong. His wife of six years is two time Oscar winner Brittany Pierce-Lopez. They've been together for twelve years having been together since they were sophomores in high school. They have three kids together Aly who is eight and was a surprise as they hadn't been planning on having kids yet, Jamie who is five and their only son Taylor who is two.
"God I'm a fucking idiot!" Santiago shouts at no one.
This isn't the first time his wife has caught him cheating and he knows when he gets home, she's going to kill him.
Flashback
"Santiago I'm five months pregnant with your child and your off touring and sleeping with some hooker!" Brittany shouts at him.
"I'm soo sorry honey." Santiago softly says cupping her face.
"Am I not attractive anymore?" Brittany asks.
"Babe you are the most beautiful woman carrying our little one." Santiago says rubbing her belly. "Hopefully we'll have a boy this time."
"Then why? We have two daughters and a third on the way." Brittany says.
"I honestly don't know. You know I like the ladies and when you're not around I'm horny-"
"Just promise me it won't happen again." Brittany says cutting him off.
"It won't,"
End Flashback
Since then it's happened four other times. Always when he's away and with some nobody he doesn't care about.

Brittany glares at her phone pissed that he would do this to her again. She thought that they were done with the cheating after last time.
"Mommy, whens daddy coming home?" Jamie asks coming into the living room.
"Soon honey," Brittany says feeling bad that her kids don't get to see their father that much anymore.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Jamie asks.
"Sure," Brittany says getting up. "Want to help me make dinner?" she asks.
"Yes," Jamie says smiling.
Brittany tries to keep the kids busy so they'll think less about their dad not being here. Since having Tayler she hasn't had a chance to do much acting as that was the time Santiago's career really took off and they agreed to not have nannies raising their kids she agreed to stay home.
"Mom! Taylor's touching my stuff again!" Aly shouts down the stairs.
"Really," Brittany says turning off the stove. "I wish for once the three of you would get along." she says to Jamie.
She ruffles Jamie hair before heading upstairs to stop Aly from making Taylor cry.
"Dinners ready!" Brittany says walking into Aly's room and swooping Taylor into her arms.
"Mama," Taylor says smiling and hugging his mom.
"Hows my big man? Are you hungry?" Brittany asks tickling his belly.
Taylor smiles and nods, wiggling trying to get out of her arms.
"Go help Jamie set the table." Brittany says putting her son down who runs out.
She turns to face her eldest daughter who's texting on her phone.
"Sweetie I know Tayler can be a handful, but I need your help with your siblings." Brittany softly says taking her phone out of her hands.
"Whens dad coming home? Taylor doesn't bug me when he's home." Aly says pouting.
"Next week," Brittany says hugging her daughter. "How about I let you go over to Moriah's house tomorrow and spend the night for being so helpful." she says.
"Yes! Thank you so much mommy." Aly says hugging her tightly.
"Well you've been very helpful and I was also thinking that we'd sign you up for gymnastics. I know you've wanted to do that." Brittany says being tackled by her daughter.
"Thank you so much mommy!"
Brittany smiles as she follows her daughter down to eat. It's times like these that she wishes Santiago would be here. Shaking her head of thoughts of her husband she heads in to have a wonderful dinner with her kids.

"Santiago you can't leave." John his manager says.
"I have to, if I don't I might lose my wife." Santiago says packing up his bags.
"Listen you can't-"
"I don't care; losing my wife is not a choice." Santiago says grabbing his bags and heading to the door.
"But we still have another week of concerts." John tells him. "Surely she can wait."
"No she can't," Santiago says leaving.
Ten hours later his flight is finally landing in LA. He takes a cab to his house since his wife doesn't know that he's coming. Being as it's seven at night he knows that they'll all be home. He only hopes that his wife won't be too pissed.
"Hey honey I'm home!" Santiago shouts opening the door.
"Daddy!" Jamie shouts running over.
He manages to put his bags down before he catches his daughter. A second later he catches his son as well.
"How are my two little munchkins?" Santiago says smiling as he picks them up. "Where you two good for your mom?"
"Yes," Jamie happily says laying her head on his shoulder.
"Daddy, play." Taylor asks.
"Of course, where is your older sister?" Santiago asks carrying them into the house farther to find his wife.
"At a friends," Jamie says just so happy that her dad is back.
"I see you came home." Brittany says coldly.
"Yeah I know you and the kids have missed me so I decided to come home." Santiago says hoping to make things up with her.
"We'll talk after the kids are asleep." Brittany says not wanting to fight in front of the kids.
While she maybe beyond pissed at her husband, she knows that her kids are very happy to see their dad.
"So what should we do?" Santiago asks their kids.
"Fort," Taylor slurs.
"Okay little man let's build a fort." Santiago says smiling at his son.
He puts them down and they run over to the couch.
"I'm sorry honey and I promise I'm going to make it up to you." Santiago whispers.
"Where have I heard that before." Brittany whispers after he's out of ear shot.
She grabs her phone and heads into the kitchen. She calls Aly to tell her that her dad is home and promises to pick her up in twenty minutes.
"I'm going to go pick up Aly. I'll be back in under an hour." Brittany tells them.
"Okay," Santiago sadly says.
He plays with the kids while his wife is gone focusing on them instead of his wife. He knows that later she's going to chew him out. By the time she gets back he's having the most fun he's had since he left on tour.
"Dad!" Aly shouts running over and tackling him to the ground.
"How my princess?" Santiago asks hugging his eldest daughter.
"Good," Aly says smiling. "Glad that your back now."
"Well I missed you all so much that I decided to come back early." Santiago says. "How about we make some popcorn and watch a movie."
"Yes!" Aly and Jamie say together.
Taylor just hugs his dad, glad to have him home.

"They're all asleep now." Santiago says coming back down.
"Good," Brittany says not looking up from her book.
"Listen I'm really sorry about everything." Santiago says hoping to get this over with so they can move on with their life.
"I'm sure," Brittany says still not looking up.
He stares at her in disbelief; he thought that at the very least he would yell at her.
"Okay well I guess we're good then." Santiago says hoping that now this whole thing is over as he sits next to her.
Frowning Brittany doesn't say anything, but kicks him off the couch.
"Ouch, Britt really?" Santiago whines getting up.
"If you think everything is okay then you are really delusional." Brittany growls at him.
"Then talk to me please." Santiago says. "I want to make this work." he says.
"You really think I'm going to let go years of cheating? Hell no, you're sleeping out here alone." Brittany growls getting up.
"Britt, please," Santiago begs getting up too.
"You've been cheating on me for three years. What has changed that would make me believe that you've changed?" Brittany asks.
She's been trying her hardest to stay calm and not lose it and start yelling at him. She truly does love him and wants to make their marriage work.
"You're the only woman I've ever loved." Santiago softly says.
"Well I certainly don't feel like you do since you can't seem to keep it in your pants." Brittany harshly growls at him.
"I know," Santiago says hanging his head. "I'll do anything to try and make it up to you."
"So you want to try and fix our marriage?" Brittany asks.
"Yes," Santiago softly says.
"Then I'll set up a counseling appointment for us." Brittany says.
"Okay," Santiago sighs.
He knows that they need to do this to save their marriage, but he doesn't like it. He just wants them to go back to teenage Brittany and Santiago who didn't have any worries only love for each other.
"Until then let's not talk unless it involves the kids." Brittany suggests.
"Britt," Santiago whines.
"Listen I want to kick you out, but it's better for the kids if you are here so please just follow my rules." Brittany says.
"Okay I can do that." Santiago sadly says.
"Goodnight," Brittany says.
Santiago watches her walk upstairs wishing he hadn't ruined their marriage to the point where his wife doesn't want to sleep in the same bed as him.
