Chapter two
Entering the school Brittany smiled as she looked around the entrance to see the walls covered in kid's artwork. Walking into the office she was taken back as she was greeted by Linda daily who now was waving at her with a gigantic smile plastered on her face." There is the woman of the hour." Linda cheered as Principal Barton took the blonde's hand and shook it firmly. He was an older man in his late forties with box dyed brown hair and big brown eyes not as dark as her wives. He wore a black tuxedo with a blue tie. Linda was in a short blue dress with blue heels to match. Her red hair was pulled up in a ponytail that sat on top of her head. "Thank you Linda and Principal Barton nice to see you again." After getting familiar with the school building principal Barton and Linda showed her, her classroom. Brittany had no clue what Linda was still doing here and as soon as she could she grabbed her phone out of her purse to text her wife. She smiled as she saw she had two text messages. One was from her best friend Rachel Berry and the other one was from her wife. Deciding to read her wife's text first she opened it and instantly felt better
You're welcome sexy mama! Love you more though! How is it going?
She loved her wife's cockiness and how she always knew the perfect thing to say to make her feel better at that moment. She immediately replied to her wife.
You can't love me more then I love you sexy :p everything is going great I haven't met my kids yet but soon, Principal Barton says. Oh Linda is here!
Quickly opening Rachel's message she wrote how much she misses them and how Sage her three month old daughter got her front two teeth recently. That made her smile more she loved Sage so much she was the first baby that Brittany got to change a diaper for and the first baby to see be brought into the world. She wasn't supposed to but Rachel's two fathers couldn't get an earlier flight from California to New York so Brittany agreed to go in and hold her friend's hand. She knew her wife wouldn't mind and it really gave her a glimpse of what was ahead for them. It was the most amazing thing as well as the scariest wrapped in one night. Replying how happy she was for both Sage and her, Brittany promised she would call her later to tell her all about her first day. Brittany was about to put her phone away when it started to buzz.
What is she doing there? And that is impossible, just give up I am going to win this babe!
Rolling her eyes she knew this was her forte she would never let this go. She got one word in before the classroom door flung open and kids started to pile in. Brittany threw the phone in her purse as she watched and observed the children walk into the classroom. She was teaching second grade. She loved seven and eight year olds. Their imaginations were the best and they came up with the coolest stories. According to her classroom rooster she had eleven students' six boys and five girls. She was happy with the small number she could do more activities with this class size. Her class sizes back in New York were always insanely over the limit but she also had a teacher helper to help out. The principal gave a quick speech than threw Brittany a quick smile before leaving her to do what she needed to.
The day went very quickly after introductions and a million questions the kids had for their new teacher. Every one of the questions she tried her best to answer truthfully and not answer too personal ones. All were really simple for the most part. Do you like Ohio? What is your favorite color? Brittany made it into a game and they all had to answer the question as well. She learned a lot about each and every one of them. Before a small girl name Danielle could ask a question the bell rang and it was time for gym. The gym teacher Misty Johnson came in to collect the kids which she thought was nice. A lot of teachers used this time to grade papers or go copy things in the copying room Principal Barton had explained earlier. After this they had art then it was lunch, recess then back to her classroom until dismissal. Taken her phone back out she finished her reply to Santana.
Maybe she works here as well, don't know haven't seen her since this morning! Love my class and the kids are sooo great San love you morex500
Brittany knew that was going to get her started again but she didn't care she loved to see her wife act annoyed even though she wasn't. Brittany didn't have to wait long for a response.
You take a break Hun or just skipping?
She would Brittany thought as I quickly replied back.
The kids are busy with gym right now then art after that so I guess this is like a break. How is your day going?
Brittany couldn't wait to hear what this role entitled she knew Santana had a love interest and probably some hot costar but she really hope she was single some time in this tv show so she didn't have to watch her Mack on someone else all the time. She knew it was acting but it bothered her. Santana knew this and always teased her about it. She was glad she wasn't one of those people that loved to watch themselves on TV over and over. Brittany didn't want to seem like she didn't support her so she promised she'd watch this TV series.
I gots me a girlfriend; p Jenny is gay! And that is not all, she is a Police Officer. Lots of love baby!
And like that her heart stopped beating. How could this be? She never got any lesbian roles and now she had one and she had a girlfriend! She would have to watch her Mack on another woman. Brittany didn't have time to worry though a knock on the door tore her from her thoughts. Walking over to the door Brittany turned the doorknob and opened the door to see no other than Linda. Her brows came together in confusion. What the heck was she doing here? "Hello again" Brittany greeted not knowing what to say to the smiling woman. Linda without invitation walked right past her into the classroom. Brittany followed her after shutting the door which now she knew was a bad idea." So how is your first day going?" she asked as soon as the blonde turned around to face her. A smile crossed Brittany's face she couldn't deny she loved it here." It's been amazing." Brittany waited for her to continue to why she was in my classroom but she just kind of stood there. You could have cut through the tension with a knife and Brittany felt uncomfortable and she didn't like It." well I should get back to grading these papers." Brittany explained pointing over to the stack of papers on her desk hoping she would say what she needed to and go but Brittany knew she was going to linger, even though she prayed she wouldn't. She sat down in the chair right in front of my desk and stared at me. "So how does your famous wife like it here in our small town?" she asked finally." Good. She is excited to be on this TV series." Linda nodded. "I did have a reason to come in here. I wanted to ask you to join me for a drink maybe get dinner just the two of us? Tomorrow evening. If you're free that is." The question caught me off guard. Why the heck was she asking me something like this? Then the light bulb came on upstairs Santana's big surprise appointment! Shaken my head "I am sorry, Santana and I have an appointment tomorrow evening." Linda nodded "Maybe next time then. I have a feeling we are going to be closer than best friends by the end of the month Britt" I nodded a few times. The blonde watched as she stood then walked out of the classroom Brittany was able to breathe for the first time since she entered the room. There was something about her that gave Brittany the chills and the way she called her Britt, which no one called her that but her wife and very close friends and family. Grabbing for her cell phone Brittany quickly text her wife that she needed to see her ASAP when school ends. She knew it was Santana texting her back when her phone started to buzz.
What's wrong baby, someone giving you problems? Should I come up there now?
I loved how her protective side came out if I told her I needed her. My wife was the most amazing woman ever and I was the luckiest person alive to have her in my life. Sending her a quick response about being home when I get there I finished the day without any other surprise visits from Linda.
Santana was quite concerned when she got that text from her wife but knew even though Brittany was very excited about starting another teaching job here; it came with a lot of stress and nervousness from not knowing the routine yet. That is what this was all about she was sure of it. But she made sure her day was done by two thirty so she could meet her wife at home and be there for her. Dropping her keys in the little cow bowl Brittany had picked up at a garage sale right before they moved in their first apartment in LA. She smiled seeing her wife was not there yet. She had time to go get clean. Rushing upstairs she walked into their bathroom to take a quick shower. After she was satisfied she came out and walked down stairs just in time. Brittany had just walked in as she stepped down on the last step. Brittany smiled when she saw her wife right in front of her. She had wanted to see her face all day." Hey." Santana said walking up to her wife. Brittany dropped her purse on the floor and wrapped her arms around her wife's neck. Santana hugged her back tightly." Hi babe" Brittany whispered in her wife's ear." the embrace lasted for a couple of minutes until Brittany was ready to pull away and find out how Santana's first day went. She had stopped by the quick mart and picked up a card that said what she wanted to and a cute little bracelet and even though Santana would never buy herself one she loved it when Brittany bought them for her. Brittany gave Santana's perfect pink lips a peck before she turned and leaned over to grab the card and little white box. Santana watched patiently waiting for her wife to do what she needed to. She had set a bunch of DVD's out and some chips, snacks and a bottle of wine she pulled out of the cabinet for tonight ready. When Santana turned around her eyes instantly teared up her wife was amazing and even though Brittany had the hard day she still thought about her and went out and bought her stuff. Taken the white box first she pulled the top off awing at the silver bracelet with two little hearts with green and diamond gems in the middle of each heart. She knew those were their birthstones. Diamond for Brittany and green for her and that made the bracelet even more special. Kissing Brittany on the lips she took the card from Brittany's hand and read the "I love my wife" card. The words made her tear up but it was the words that Brittany had added at the bottom that sent her over the edge.
Wiping off her eyes with her hand Brittany pouted seeing her cry." Why are you crying Hun?" Brittany asked hoping the card was alright. Santana shook her head "Because I don't know how in the world someone like me ended up with someone as wonderful as you?" Brittany blushed looking away for a second before making eye contact again with her wife." Easy because you are awesome and I am so the lucky one." Brittany smiled because she could see her wife's face start to change. Shaken her head "No I am the lucky one" Brittany rolled her eyes she knew this could go on for a while so she decided to stop it by leaning over and kissing her wife's forehead." Let's go watch those DVD's I know you have sitting out." Santana knew Brittany had more she wanted to talk about but she also knew pressuring her into talking was not the best choice. Walking in the living room holding hands Santana kissed Brittany on the cheek before she took back her hand and walked across the living room to the DVD rack were she had laid some movies she knew her wife would enjoy on top she grabbed them as well as the bowl of chips and walked over to the couch were Brittany was already sitting down and getting comfortable." You pick babe?" Santana exclaimed placing the movies down on the coffee table as well as the bowl of chips. Brittany looked directed at her with teary eyes. Santana knew she was ready to make her wife spill about what was going on with her." Honey talk to me." she pleaded making sure she kept direct eye contact with Brittany. Brittany nodded knowing she had to tell her wife but she was just so overwhelmed. "Please don't get mad baby." Santana shook her head
"I am not going to get mad just tell me." Brittany knew she could. "I know I have seem happy about this move and all but I am scared and I am so sorry I hid that from you." Santana was relieved that it wasn't something horrible." You don't have to hide anything from me you know that silly." Brittany looked down "I just knew how important this move was for you and how excited you was that this would be it for a long time. I didn't want to rain on your parade." Santana chuckled a little hearing Brittany say a verse from one of her favorite songs even though she would never admit that to anyone but Brittany. Bopping her wife on the nose she gave her a smile as she looked directly in her eyes" Britt what else is going on?" Brittany bit her lip for a second before she was ready to continue. Santana sat there waiting patiently "I know I am being over dramatic and I am being a lot like Rachel." Santana rolled her eyes at that comparison there was no way Brittany was a pinch as dramatic as Brittany's best friend Rachel Berry. That girl was literally the Queen of all drama queens. Brittany shrugged "I am just overwhelmed with everything. I miss my old school and our family and friends, I don't know where everything is and today Linda I think asked me out on some kind of date or something and you have a girlfriend." I regretted the last part of my rant." Santana didn't seem to be worried about it she wanted to hear about the Linda part and I knew it.
"What do you mean asked you out?" Santana asked starting to play with Brittany's hair as Brittany leaned up against Santana's shoulder looking down at the bracelet she had just bought her. Brittany explained she was in her room when Linda came in and asked her to go out to get drinks or dinner. Santana tensed up hearing this because Linda obviously knew Brittany was a married woman. What was she trying to do? "She creeps me out San she even said we were going to be closer than best friends by the end of the month." Santana watched as Brittany made a frightened expression. She only made this expression when something really terrified her. This woman really made her wife very uncomfortable and now there was only one thing she could do to fix this and that was to make this woman just as uncomfortable. Linda had no right to make Britt feel like this.
After Santana got Brittany calmed down she remembered the last thing that was bothering her wife. Rolling her eyes she nudged her wife who shot her a confused look." You know that only one person holds my heart and that person is you. There is no need to worry my lady." Brittany smiled feeling much better now she cuddled closer to San and they sat there in silence for a few moments before Santana pulled away to look down at her wife." I have to tell you something and I want your honest opinion on it." Brittany didn't like the seriousness of the situation but nodded anyway" I promise." Santana smiled to reassure her it wasn't anything bad.
