Santana quietly walked out of her room, walking down the hallway towards the kitchen. Puck had to work today, so Santana decided to be a good wife and make him some coffee. When she passed Abby's room, Santana took a quick peak inside, seeing Abby sitting up in her crib. "What are you doing up?" Santana walked into the room and picked her up. "It's really early, you know that right?" Abby rested her head on Santana not giving her the pleasure of a response. Santana sighed and carried her towards the kitchen. "You're quiet this morning."
Abby had been home for about four months now. Abby was quickly picking up on english and was getting better with food. After the honeymoon phase ended, Abby had some adjusting to do. Everything was new to her and it was overwhelming for her. There were some hard days but Santana was in love with being a parent. Puck was the natural, most people who have seen him around kids know that. Santana was different though. She never had much experience with children. People were shocked to see her as a mother.
Abby was a quiet little girl who always seemed to keep her parents on their toes. She was loving and always wanted to snuggle with her parents. She was coming more and more out of her shell everyday.
Puck had already started talking about adopting again, but Santana said she wanted to wait awhile. As much as they wanted another child, they knew that Abby still had a lot of progress to make before they could add another.
She loved the weekends when Puck wasn't working and they could spend time together as a family. Puck had just recently been promoted, which on the positive side meant bigger paychecks, but on the negative side meant he had to work more. Puck tried as hard as he could to make sure he was there for everything important.
After finishing with the coffee, Santana and Abby headed back into their room finding Puck awake. Santana looked down at Abby, "Look who's awake." Abby let out a giggle and Puck said, "Isn't it a little early for you, Abby?" Santana put Abby down on the bed and got under the covers again. Abby giggled and walked over to Puck, laying against his chest. Santana loved seeing Puck and Abby lay together. Picking up the remote, Santana turned on Disney Junior and leaned over to kiss Abby's head. "Puck, you probably should start getting ready. I started your coffee."
He looked at the clock and said, "I can stay for a couple more minutes."
Abby brought her hands up to Puck's unshaven face. "Owie!" Abby giggled and Puck laughed, "Hey! That's not nice. Mommy likes my face like this."
Santana shook her head, "Says who? I'm with Abby on this one, go shave."
Santana was semi sad to admit that neither her or Puck had kept great contact with any of the other glee club members. They regained contact with Kurt, Blaine, Brittany, and Artie after college, but other than that, they hadn't seen since a little after college.
It wasn't until they showed Kurt and Blaine the first picture they got of Abby, that he told them about Finn and Rachel having a daughter about the same age. They hadn't seen them in a while, but who knew so much had changed? Rachel hadn't really made it with her Broadway dream and they moved back to Lima when they were nearly broke in New York. Once they got back on their feet, they got a house and decided to start a family. She had one two year old girl named Ruby and another girl on the way. Abby and Ruby loved each other and loved their play dates. Her and Rachel usually switched off whose house they go to but this week decided they would all just hang out at their house.
The girls played to themselves in Abby's room while Puck, Santana, Finn, and Rachel took some time to hang out. Puck and Finn had gone down to play some pool while Santana and Rachel talked.
"Are you enrolling Ruby in a daycare?"
"We haven't decided yet. I don't really like the idea not seeing her multiple hours of the day."
"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Plus I'd have nothing to do during the day. Puck wants to adopt again but I don't want to rush into it. I see you're about to pop though."
Rachel laughed rubbing her belly, "Yeah, the due date is coming up. I'm excited. How many kids do you and Puck want? We were talking about it the other day and we think this one might be our last."
Santana had to ponder that question for a minute. She knew Puck would probably want about four if she had to guess. He grew up wishing he had a big family. Santana liked the idea of a big family too. Although she would never get to experience a newborn, she liked the idea of having young kids around the house. "I'm not really sure...probably three or four. Puck would probably want more than that but I guess we'll just see how we feel later."
"Yeah, I understand. Finn will probably want me to try again for a boy."
"You should just adopt a boy. Then you won't risk that chance of having another broadway singing girl. Even though I am pretty sure you would be ok with that."
Santana and Rachel both laughed, unable to contain themselves. In high school, Santana hated Rachel with a passion and just the thought of her presence annoyed her. Now that she was done with the whole Broadway thing, she was actually fun to be around. "Hey, I'm not against it."
Santana had a spur of excitement thinking about Finn and Rachel adopting one day. It would be nice to have someone to talk to about that kind of stuff. Even if Rachel gave good advice, she could never understand some of the things Abby was going through without seeing it for herself.
"San, are you ever sad you can't have a biological baby?"
Santana was definitely surprised by that question. Santana had never really talked about that topic with anyone, since Abby came home. She never trusted anybody enough with an exception of Puck.
"Well yeah I am sad we won't get to experience that, but seeing Abby makes me think it was destined to be that way. I can't imagine our life without her. I really do think you guys should adopt too. It was the best thing I have ever done and you get to give a kid a family. It's a win win."
"Yeah, I'm just not sure it's for us. We don't have the money for it."
Once the Hudson clan was finally gone, Santana carried Abby down the stairs seeing Puck hitting the pool balls.
"What are you doing, babe?"
He looked up and smiled walking over to them. He kissed Santana on the cheek and took Abby kissing her head.
"Nothing much. Did you have fun with Ruby?"
Abby nodded with a smile. "Yes!"
"Thats right baby girl. Now it's time for your nap so you need to kiss Daddy goodnight."
Nap time was not a fun time for Abby. She never wanted to go down but once she was down she didn't want to wake up. Immediately, Abby started crying and tried to hold onto Puck. He passed her off to Santana who brought her up to her room and got her down to sleep.
Santana was doing some online shopping when Puck came in the room. She looked up at him, scrunched her face, and asked, "How many kids do you want?"
He looked surprised by that question. "I don't know. Like 4, maybe. You?"
"I have no idea. Rachel brought it up today and it just made me start thinking about it."
"Well you want more than one right?"
"Yeah, I want more than one. I'm thinking like three or four."
Puck pulled Santana up and wrapped his arms around her waist. "So we agree. Four?"
She laughed and shook her head. "No! We agree that we will decide as we go along."
He leaned in kissing her before saying, "Deal."
