…5 Months Later…

"How do you feel?" Puck asked while sitting down in front of Santana with two coffees in hand and handing hers over.

"I don't know to be completely honest. It's been a few months without her and now that it's over, it seems it happened so fast, I really thought we'd be together forever." Santana replied softly while absentmindedly playing with the spoon in coffee.

"Have you guys talked since everything happened?"

"She tried talking to me after the papers were signed… But I just couldn't talk to her. I couldn't do it. I was just so numb and that's all that I am now, numb."

"Santana wait. Please talk to me." Brittany pleaded.

"I can't Brittany. Not now. I can't speak to you, I don't want to look at you right now because it hurts too much. Please, just please let this go." Santana begged while trying to side step away from the blonde and hold her tears in at the same time.

"But Santana…" Brittany tried once again once Santana successfully got around her and got a few steps ahead of her. Brittany doesn't have a clue what to do, all she knows is that this has to change. Surprisingly, Santana stopped. She didn't turn to face Brittany, but she stopped to listen to what she was going to say. Brittany knew that this meant Santana wasn't done for good, the fact that she stopped shows that she's not done. She still loves her, but at what cost will they get back together.

"Please don't let us fade away… Because, I honestly don't ever see how you or I could find another us again." Brittany said softly with tears silently starting to stream down her face.

Santana visibly tensed at the sound of the woman that she loves voice. It broke her heart more than it already was. She took a few deep breaths before she felt she was composed enough to answer. She wiped the tears that were on her face off from Brittany's statement. She knew it was true. The love that she and Brittany shared was a once in a millennium love, it was the type of love that people would write about and thousands of years from now, people will still read about. Almost like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. It was a love that people desperately craved. She knew that there would never be a love this strong with anybody else, she knew that and she thought about it constantly once everything started to go downhill between the two of them. Santana shook her hands a little, something she did often to try and shake away her nerves. Brittany noticed.

Santana took in a deep breath and stood tall before speaking, "I know." She said sounding broken before continuing, "I've thought about that constantly since everything started going wrong. And what I realized was…" She paused before continuing, trying to catch her breath because it felt like the air was getting heavier. "What I realized was that I think the only way for us to get back together is to get over each other first… I know it doesn't make any sense."

They both stood quietly for a moment processing what was happening between them. This was real. And it's not going to change. After about two minutes, Santana decided that it was time to walk away. Once she got a step ahead of where she was at that second, Brittany's voice sounded through her ears shattering her feelings and almost her resolve too.

"Santana," she paused, "You're still my person, even if I'm not yours."

Hearing those words, if possible, made Santana feel more horrible than she already did. Her body racked with a loud sob and she started shaking. She began to speed walk in the direction she was facing not caring where she ended up going. She chanced one last glance over her shoulder at Brittany and she couldn't help but wonder, "where did it all go wrong?"

It was now five months later, five months since everything was finalized and five months seen Santana last saw Brittany. Sugar was now 11 months old and her first birthday was a week away. In one week, Santana and Brittany would be face to face and there was no telling how this was going to play out. It could go anywhere from heartache and tears to right back where they always were with each other. Santana honestly didn't know which thought scared her more.

Quinn had been the middleman between the two for her niece, Sugar. Quinn loved having Sugar too herself and she had pleasure of having her at least one night alone every two weeks or so if Santana had work and Brittany was due to take the baby. Since the two girls couldn't bring themselves to face each other, Quinn offered to be the trade off. Santana would get Sugar for a week and then Quinn would have her the day of the trade and sometimes the night before and then hand her off to Brittany sometime within the 24 hour time window. She was also the go to baby sitter for the two when they were busy. They knew that Quinn was just as protective as them both and even as playful. They wouldn't be able to find that combination elsewhere considering the reason Quinn was the perfect mix of them was because she has been around them for so long.

"So what are you going to do at the birthday party? Cause she's coming too right?" Puck asked Santana as he put money on the table to pay off their tab and getting up.

"I don't know. There's two ways us seeing each other can go and I'm not sure which one I'd prefer to happen to be honest." Santana said softly getting out of her chair and going to take Sugar out of the high chair next to her.

Sugar has gotten so big. She walks, and pretty quickly too. As of right now, she has Santana's hair, lots of little curls but they're beginning to straighten out. Her eyes change color, they range from being mocha brown like Santana's to going as light as Caribbean water like Brittany's. Sugar loved wearing jumpers and the headbands with bows and flowers. She would choose her outfits some days by grabbing what she wanted to wear off the bed, and she would have a few choices. Santana strongly believes that her baby girl might be a little fashion guru when she gets bigger. She still wears the gold bracelet that has Lopez-Pierce engraved on the inside that she's had since she was born. She has a lot of the little quirks that she did when she was little, she's even picked up some of Santana's and Brittany's habits. For example, when somebody tells Sugar "No" within a millisecond the Pierce pout is on her lips and it stays there until she gets what she wants, unless she's doing it to Brittany and Santana. Those are the only two that seem to have become immune to it. Sugar also picked up one of Santana's signature traits as well… The Santana Lopez eye roll. She does it all the time. Santana used to think it was the funniest thing in the world the first time that Sugar did it to Quinn and everybody else, but once her daughter did it to her she couldn't help but roll her eyes back. That day they pretty much had an eye rolling contest and have had many more since then. Brittany always snickers whenever she sees Sugar roll her eyes because she knows that it's all Santana.

Sugar's birthday was next week, Saturday to be exact. The party was going to be held at a mutual setting, instead of at somebody's house it was going to be held at one of the local parks. The theme for the party was Princesses and for the little boys that were coming, Princes. On the invitation, it said, "Come peasants to Princess Sugar's birthday party." And a little more, but that was the funniest line on the card. Santana was the one that had planned the party and was doing the decorating for it really. She had sugars outfit planned out already, she was going to be wearing a little princess dress that Sugar believe it or not picked out herself, she had tons of options but she opted for the classic pink princess dress. She was going to have sandals and a little crown as well. It was going to be perfect. Quinn and puck were going to be helping out to set up the party before hand. There were going to be a lot of children there but that wasn't going to be the most interesting thing… The most interesting thing was going to be seeing how the Lopez and Pierce families act around each other since there's a little bit of bad blood between the two ever since the divorce.

There was a little more things to be settled on during the week, but there was still time for last minute adjustments.

After Santana got Sugar out of the high chair that she was seated in, Puck took the diaper bag off of Santana's shoulder and walked towards her car with her. Santana strapped baby Sugar in while Puck got in the passengers seat. Santana got in the drivers seat and began to drive home with a million thoughts of next Saturday running through her brain.

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I'm back. :) This chapter would have been longer but I need some opinions before I continue writing.

Opinions:

I think I want Puck and Santana as siblings. Does anybody have a problem with that?

I thought about making Sam and Brit siblings too but I'm not sure…

Should Quinn be with Sam or with Puck?

How should Brit/San act when they see each other?

Any other things you want to see just leave it in a review.
