"You're sure you don't want me to come with you?" Brittany asked with a concerned voice.

"Yeah," Santana answered quietly. "I want to know how he actually feels about this, and he might react differently if you're there with me."

Brittany looked down at her hands for a moment and then looked into Santana's eyes. "Everything is going to be okay. Good luck Santana, I believe in you," she said with a smile.

Santana kissed Brittany's forehead and then stood back and gave her a small, but sweet smile. She left their apartment without saying anything more.

She walked down the stairs and out of the main entrance of their apartment building. She had asked Puck to meet her at a cafe a block down from her apartment. She could feel the nervousness building up in her stomach as her heart began to race. She had no idea whatsoever how Puck might react to this. Would he be mad? Sad? Shocked? Probably definitely shocked. She knew he might be angry about the situation, but not at her. Besides, it takes two to tango.

She walked up to the window of the cafe and peeked inside to see if Puck was there yet. There he was, sitting at a small table near the back of the cafe. She backed away from the window and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. This wasn't going to be easy, but it had to be done. She opened the door to the cafe, walking anxiously over to the table where Puck was.

"Hey," she greeted warmly.

Puck smiled back at her as she sat down at the table. "What's up?"

Santana swallowed hard and stared down at the table as she thought about how to say the news.

"What, did something happen?" Puck asked curiously, noticing the nervous look on her face.

"No, no.. I'm fine. I mean, I.. I'm pregnant," she blurted out. She got an immediate look of regret on her face. She couldn't believe she had just flat-out said it like that.

Puck's eyes widened in shock, but quickly softened. He knew he had to be calm about this for her sake.

Santana watched his face and was relieved when he didn't actually seem horrified. "Um.. I'm sure you know this but-" she started to say.

"It's mine," Puck said quietly as he finished her sentence.

Santana nodded softly. "Yeah.."

Puck raised his eyebrows in shock as he thought about it. "Wow.. Well, how do you feel about it?"

Santana shrugged. "I want to keep it."

Puck nodded. "Yeah.. that's probably the right decision."

Santana gave a slight smile and then looked him in the eyes. "I'm not asking you for anything. I don't mind if you don't want to be a part of the baby's life, or if you don't want to contribute anything to their life. If you want to see them regularly and be a part of their life, then that's more than fine. But I don't want you to feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do."

Puck stared with a blank face for a second as his eyes shifted. He thought about Beth, his and Quinn's baby, and remembered how deeply saddened and regretful he was about missing out on Beth's life. Maybe this could possibly be an opportunity for him to redeem his regrets and finally follow through on the fatherhood that he yearned for but missed out on. He knew he wouldn't be living with the baby or seeing them all the time, but knowing that this baby is a part of him and seeing them grow up would be enough for him.

"I would love to meet them when they're born. And possibly be a small part of their lives as they grow up, if you don't mind."

"Of course," Santana replied softly. "Thank you so much for meeting me here, it means a lot to me."

Puck smiled. "And thank you for telling me."

They sat in silence for a few moments, taking in the recent conversation and the situation.

"Hey, I have to go, I want to see Brittany before she heads off for work. Thanks again for meeting with me," Santana said, standing up out of her chair.

Puck smiled and nodded. "Hey, Santana?" he questioned, wanting to say something to her before she left.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"You and Brittany are going to be great mothers. I know it," he assured.

Santana smiled genuinely at him. "Thank you," she whispered, beginning to make her way out of the small cafe.


Santana and Brittany laid on the bed cuddled together, Brittany stroking Santana's long, soft hair. She wanted to be there for Santana every step of the way through her pregnancy in any way she could. She was actually very excited for the baby to be born; she always knew that she wanted to have a child with Santana someday. Then there was the pregnancy- she was excited to be able to care for Santana throughout her pregnancy and do things for her like massage her back, rub her feet, or perhaps give her some sweet lady kisses to help her feel better. This was all very unexpected and she knew that Santana was very overwhelmed right now, but she also knew that everything would turn out great. Her and Santana were going to be great mothers to their little baby boy or girl.
