Hey everyone, I decided a while back that since I got a lot of responses wanting another chapter that I'd add one. I hope you all like it. I'm not sure how much I like it as I feel like parts of it I just pushed out, but I wanted to finish it so I hope you all enjoy.
Brett wakes up first when he hears their five day old daughter start to whimper. Quietly getting up he walks over to his daughter's crib.
"Hey little one," Brett whispers picking her up and cradling her in his arms.
"Bring her over, she's hungry." Santana mumbles just barely awake.
"Babe you didn't have to get up." Brett softly says sitting next to her and handing her Emily.
"I know, but I'm up so I'll breast feed her." Santana sighs exhausted, but happy.
"Okay," Brett says leaning over and kissing her forehead.
He watches as Santana helps Emily latch on and she starts eating.
"You're very beautiful." Brett softly says helping her cuddle into him.
"How can I be beautiful, I just gave birth?" Santana asks yawning.
"Because you gave me this beautiful little girl." Brett says.
"Brett, stop it." Santana says. "I'm fat and have stretch marks."
"And I think you look beyond beautiful for that." Brett says leaning over carefully to kiss her.
Santana just smiles cause how can she argue with her amazing boyfriend when he says such nice things about her. She snuggles into his body as Emily continues to eat. For being so small, she sure eats a lot and ten minutes in Santana has to switch breasts.
"Can you take her and burb her, I'm about to fall back asleep." Santana mumbles yawning.
"Go to sleep baby, I'll take care of our little one." Brett whispers kissing her on the forehead.
He grabs Emily from his almost asleep girlfriend and bounces her in his arms before he starts to burb her. Walking out of the room he rocks her as he walks around the apartment trying to get her asleep.
"Shh little one it's okay go to sleep." Brett whispers to her.
He loves this late night routine of him being able to help his very tired girlfriend take care of their little one. He knows that Santana wants to wake up every time and has thus far, but he wants her to know that he can take of feeding Emily while she sleeps.
Five minutes later Emily's fast asleep in his arms and he walks back into the bedroom placing her in the crib. Climbing into bed, he wraps his arms around Santana who snuggles back into him still sound asleep and instantly falls asleep.
They're both woken up in the morning by Emily's crying.
"I'll get her, she's probably hungry again." Santana says getting up slowly.
He watches as she gets up and picks up a crying Emily easily soothing her before she starts breastfeeding her. The love he feels for the both of them is so overwhelming he doesn't know what to do.
"I love you both so much." Brett says staring at them.
"Brett," Santana says blushing, she's not use to being told all the time how beautiful she is or how much she's loved.
"We both know that this first year is going to be hard, not just with having our little one, but also because we're going to be seeing sides of each other we've never seen before. But I wouldn't change this for anything." Brett says wanting her to know how much he loves her.
"Brett, why are you so perfect?" Santana asks finishing burping Emily and placing her next to him.
"I have the two of you with me all the time." Brett says kissing her.
"I wish my mom could have met you so would have loved you." Santana says getting back into bed.
He doesn't say anything just wraps his arms around her. She sighs into his chest. Emily breaks up the sweet moment between them by crying loudly.
"I guess it's time to get up." Brett says. "I'll check her diaper."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Santana falls in the couch exhausted from being up for so long. It's been two weeks since they brought Emily home from the hospital and literally every three hours she wakes up crying, either hungry or needed a diaper change.
"Thank god she's asleep now." Brett says sitting next to his girlfriend.
"We probably should sleep, I think I read somewhere that we should sleep when she does." Santana says yawning.
"Go to sleep baby, I have to stay up." Brett says kissing her cheek.
"Why?" Santana says frowning.
"Because tomorrow I have to go back to work." Brett gently reminds her.
"Has it been two weeks already?" Santana asks totally confused on what day it is.
"It's actually been three weeks; remember I asked for another week off. But I have to go back to work tomorrow or they might fire me." Brett tells her.
"Damn," Santana says laying her head on his chest.
"I know baby, but one of us has to make money." Brett says.
"Yeah, but still wish you didn't have to go back so soon." Santana sighs. "I feel like we're just getting the hang of having a baby and now things have to change."
"She definitely has been a huge change in our lives." Brett agrees. "But a very welcome one."
"I know it's just scary, you know the thought of being completely alone here with her." Santana says.
"How do you think I feel being alone with her? Babe you carried her for nine months, can feed her and just overall have motherly instincts. What do I have? I feel like I'm going to screw up somehow most of the time." Brett softly says.
"It's scary for both of us I guess." Santana says kissing his cheek. "We both are doing our best and thus far everything has been going smoothly."
"I just feel bad that because of us being together that your dad has to miss all this. I know how much he would love her." Brett says what's been on his mind since she got kicked out.
"But he wouldn't accept you as the father or as my boyfriend so I don't want him in our lives." Santana tells him, snuggling into him.
"I just-"
"Brett, he's had time to accept the fact that you're the man I want in my life. If he can't do that then I don't want him in our lives." Santana sternly says.
"Okay," Brett says giving in as he always does to his girlfriend. "On a brighter note my mom and sisters are coming out in two weeks."
"WHAT!" Santana shouts jumping up. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? We have to get ready. What if she hates me? Oh god she's going to hate me for getting you fired and getting pregnant." she rambles.
Brett pulls her back into him causing her to relax back into him.
"Relax honey and be quiet or you'll wake Emily up." Brett softly says. "And my mom just told me today that they're coming."
"Okay," Santana says taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
"They will love you just like I do and my mom's always wanted grandkids that she'll love Emily. She actually might try to steal her from us." Brett tells her.
"Promise me that they'll love us." Santana says.
"They will baby," Brett says.
The following day, Brett wakes up extra early as he wants to spend some time with Emily before he has to go to work. Getting up quietly he sneaks out of the room and into the nursey.
"Hey baby girl." Brett says when he sees Emily awake and staring up at the mobile.
She smiles up at him, opening and closing her mouth.
"Aren't you just the cutest little thing ever." Brett says picking her up.
He heads out into the kitchen to make her a bottle before she starts crying and wakes up Santana who could use the extra sleep. He plans to do this every morning knowing that he'll be working anywhere from six to ten hours a day Wednesday through Sunday so Santana will be spending more time with their daughter. The weekend is generally longer hours than during the week.
"How did I know that I'd find you down here with her." Santana says leaning in the kitchen doorway.
"I want you sleep in, I'll take care of Emily in the morning before I have to go to work." Brett says smiling at her.
"B," Santana sighs. "You're perfect."
"I do try." Brett says smiling.
"Go to work." Santana says shoving him lightly.
"I'll see you two when I get home at five thirty." Brittany tells her. "If I get held up I'll call."
Santana watches him leave, thankful that Emily has fallen back asleep. She heads back upstairs and goes back to sleep. She's awoke a few hours later by Emily crying. Getting up she changes her diaper and feeds her before she goes back to sleep. That's how it goes for Santana over the next few days. That's when it hits her that they will have to figure out what they'll do with Emily when she goes back to school in a month.
"What are mommy and daddy going to do with you?" Santana says to Emily.
Emily just stares at her smiling.
"We have to think of something, it's not like I can take you with me." Santana softly says.
She really has no idea what they'll do with Emily. Brett can't take her to work and she can't take her to school. So one of them will have to stay home and most likely it will be her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Are you sure you don't like that daycare?" Santana asks as they walk towards the car.
"Baby you know I'd prefer not to have her in daycare, but I understand we need to so you can finish up school which you know I completely support you in." Brett says wrapping his arms around her.
"I know, but you haven't liked any of them thus far." Santana says pushing the stroller.
"I promise I'll try." Brett says kissing the side of her cheek.
"Good now let's get home, we have to finish getting ready for your mom and sisters." Santana says.
"San you don't have to try so hard. My mom will love you and what she thinks my sister will follow." Brett tells her.
"I still want to impress them and show them that I can take care of you." Santana says staring down at Lily.
"Babe," Brett says wrapping his arms around her. "They will love you especially since you've given her the grandbaby that she's been wanting for the last few years."
"They'll be here in five hours." Santana says and Brett can see that she's getting extra nervous.
"Okay baby, we'll go clean the house one last time." Brett says placing Emily in her car seat and folding up the stroller.
"Thanks B," Santana says kissing his cheek.
She loves how understanding he has been with how crazy she's been with trying to get ready to meet his mom.
"Do we need to stop anywhere before we head home?" Brett asks.
"Um….can we stop at the grocery store just in case?" Santana asks pouting at him.
"Of course," Brett says pulling off into Safeway's parking lot.
Forty minutes later they finally make their way into the apartment with four bags of groceries that Santana has insisted that they buy.
"Okay so I need you to vacuum and keep Emily entertained while I clean the bathroom, guestroom and start dinner." Santana says making a list of things that she needs to do.
"Honey relax," Brett says gripping her arms to stop her. "Everything will be fine."
"I'm relaxed; I'll just start the prep work for dinner. Then we can give Emily a bath. I want her nice and clean for your mom and sisters." Santana calmly says. "Thanks for everything you've been doing B."
"No problem, that's what I'm here for babe. To keep you from going crazy." Brett says.
By the time six o'clock comes along Santana has dinner just about ready, she's in a light purple sundress and Emily is in a pink princess dress that Susan Brett's mom brought for her. She's nervously waiting for them to arrive when the doorbell rings.
"Relax," Brett whispers as he goes to open the door. "Mom,"
"Move over I want to see my grandbaby." Susan says pushing pass her son and smiling at Santana who's holding Emily. "Aw she's so cute."
"Hi Mrs. Pierce," Santana says smiling at the older woman.
"Now Santana, we're practically family call me Susan." Susan says wrapping them both up in a hug.
"Okay Susan, do you want to hold Emily?" Santana asks so glad that Susan seems to like her.
"Just try and stop me." Susan says taking Emily from Santana.
Brett hugs his two younger sisters, Jessica and Laurel as they come in as well.
"How was the drive up?" he asks.
"You know mom, we had to go exactly the speed limit the whole time." Jessica whines.
"Oh hush Jess, the last thing I wanted was to get into a car accident before I got to hold my first grandchild." Susan says cuddling a half asleep Emily.
"Well I hope you're all hungry, dinner's ready." Santana says.
"Brett aren't you going to introduce us?" Laurel asks glaring at him.
"San baby, these are my younger sisters Jessica and Laurel." Brett says pointing to each of them.
"Hi," Santana says waving at them as she cuddles into Brett.
"It's nice to meet you finally; Brett here wouldn't let us come up until after Emily was born." Jessica says.
"We were really busy trying to figure things out and were living on my boat for a while." Brett tries to explain.
"Yeah sorry about that I was just so overwhelmed with my dad disowning me and finding out I was pregnant." Santana says looking over at Susan.
Susan, Jessica and Laurel who live at home still, live in Upstate New York. They live about two hours away which is why the sisters are upset that they haven't meet Santana or their niece yet. They actually wanted to be there for the birth, but the three Pierce women were on vacation in California when that happened.
"All that matters is that we've meet them now." Susan sternly tells her daughters. "In fact we have some good news." she says smiling.
"Okay I'll bite what is it?" Brett asks not sure.
"We're moving into the city." Susan happily says. "That way I can be closer to the three of you, but mostly so I can spend time with my granddaughter."
"Really?" Brett asks smiling at the fact that his family will be closer.
"Yes, I want to be able to help out Emily if you two need. Plus I miss being close to you and your sisters want to be in the city too." Susan tells her son.
"This is the best news ever mom." Brett says hugging her.
They head into the dining room where Santana has brought all the food out on the table.
"Please tell me he didn't make any of this?" Jessica asks.
"Yeah he's a horrible cook." Laurel adds.
"I made everything." Santana says blushing slightly.
"Good, now let's eat I'm starving." Jessica says sitting down and digging in.
They all sit down and eat while Emily sleeps in her bouncy. Susan asks Santana some questions and Santana finds out some things about Brett when he was younger. Over all Santana's very happy with how the conversations around the table are going finding that she really loves Brett's family. Even though they've only known each other for a few hours Santana feels more love from them then she ever did from her own family.
"Thanks for this wonderful dinner. I say we come over to eat all the time." Laurel says grabbing third helpings.
"Not all the time, San's starting law school in less than a month and she'll be really busy between going to school, homework and dealing with Emily and me." Brett says wrapping his arm around Santana.
"You're in law school?" Susan asks very impressed with this young woman.
"Yes," Santana says ducking her head slightly.
"What are you two going to do with Emily while you're in school and Brett's at work?" Susan asks a hopefully look on her face. "Cause I'll babysit her if you need."
"Are you sure?" Santana asks.
"Mom?" Brett says smiling at her before looking down at Santana and whispering in her ear. "It's up to you."
"I want to help so let me." Susan says hoping to convince Santana as she knows that Brett won't have a problem with it.
"That would be a great help, but I don't want to overwhelm you right when you move here or are moving here. I start school in two weeks." Santana says not wanting to take advantage of this very nice woman she just met.
"I want to plus I'll make Brett help move us as we're moving next week." Susan says smiling.
"And you waited this long to tell me." Brett says.
"No one wanted you to tell us no." Jessica says.
"I wouldn't," Brett starts.
"Yes you would since you didn't want us to overwhelm Santana here who seems to like us as much as we like her." Laurel adds.
"Actually we like her more than you." Jessica says smirking.
Santana's all smiles at this. "Brett you're going to help your mom and sisters move." she orders.
"Of course," Brett says happy that Santana's finally relaxed around his family.
"Well it's getting late and we'd better head to our hotel room." Susan says.
"You should stay here." Santana says slapping Brett on the arm. "Why didn't you tell them they can stay here."
"I did," Brett says rubbing his arm.
"He did, but we didn't want to make you feel more cramped." Susan says. "Plus these two can't stay in the same room without fighting."
"Well it's nice to meet you." Santana says hugging first Susan then Jessica and Laurel.
"We'll stop by again tomorrow before we have to go back and finish packing." Susan says waving as they leave.
"BYE!" Jessica and Laurel shout.
"I really like your family." Santana says. "BRETT," she shrieks when he sweeps her up in his arms.
"Don't worry about cleaning up, let's go snuggle until Emily decides to wake up." Brett says carrying her to their room. "So are you okay with my mom watching Em while I'm at work and you're in school?" he asks not wanting her to do something she doesn't like just because she's his mom.
"Yeah, I know I will feel much better knowing that someone who really cares about her is watching her." Santana says snuggling into him.
"Good because I don't think she'll ever allow anyone else to babysit." Brett chuckles. "I'm glad that you and my family have gotten along so well."
"So I am, I really like them." Santana yawns.
"Go to sleep babe I'll take the first shift." Brett says running his fingers through her hair.

Eight months later:
"You have to be shitting me." Santana says to her doctor.
"Nope, you're pregnant." the doctor says.
"Well this is unexpected." Santana says to herself as she walks out of the office.
She and Brett hadn't planned on having any more kids until after she graduated from law school. It's hard enough with just Emily who's now eight months old and crawling around which can make it hard to do homework. Thankfully she knows she'll always have the support of her boyfriend and his family who has been amazing. Susan's been great helping out with Emily along with Jessica and Laurel who surprisingly are very good with her.
"Babe?" Brett asks as she walks down the dock towards him.
She looks deep in thought and he wonders why she's here. Normally after class he knows that she heads straight home to get changed before going to pick up Emily from his mom's apartment.
"I'm pregnant," Santana says falling into his arms.
"Oh," Brett says unsure of what to say.
"Oh?" Santana says pulling away and staring at him in the eyes.
"Well I don't know how you feel about this. Don't get me wrong I want more kids, but I also what you to be able to finish law school." Brett says wrapping his arms tighter around her.
"I'm happy to have another child, but I think we should get married." Santana says kissing him. "I want us to truly be a family and to be your wife."
"Okay," Brett agrees.
"Okay," Santana says smiling up at him.
"We should probably go tell my mom and sisters." Brett tells her.
"Can you get off early?" Santana asks.
"I think I can convince my boss since you are pregnant." Brett says.
"Go do that I'll wait up by your truck." Santana says pushing him towards his boss.
A half hour later they're outside his mom apartment, hand and hand ready to tell them the wonderful news.
"You know even though we didn't plan this I'm happy that Em will have someone to play with close to her age. I also can't wait until we get married." Santana says biting her lip.
"What is it babe?" Brett asks knowing that she has something on her mind.
"I don't need a big wedding or anything I just want to get married really soon." Santana tells him.
"Okay well how about we plan a day that my mom and sisters can come with us to the courthouse to get married." Brett says.
"Thanks for just being so amazing." Santana says wrapping her arms around him and kissing him on the lips.
Just then the door opens and Jessica groans loudly.
"Of course when I want to leave you two are on the porch making out." Jessica says rolling her eyes.
"Go back in we have big news to tell you all." Brett says walking in still holding onto Santana's hand.
"MOM BRETT HAS BIG NEWS!" Jessica shouts walking back into the apartment.
"Jessica don't shout I just got Emily down." Susan sternly says walking in with Laurel who smirking at her sister. "Awe my favorite son and daughter." she says hugging first Santana then Brett.
"Mom we have some news we want to tell you about." Brett says grabbing Santana's hand.
"Please don't tell me you managed to get her pregnant again." Susan says glaring at her son. "I thought I told you to marry her first."
"We are mom, San's pregnant and we're getting married hopefully in the next two weeks." Brett says all smiles.
There's dead silence for a few seconds before the three women erupt with happy shouts.
"Finally," Susan says hugging Santana tightly to her. "It's about time you marry this poor girl." she says slapping Brett's arm.
"So will you help us plan, all three of you?" Santana asks.
"Of course we will." Susan answers for all of them.
Brett leaves the four women to plan whatever they have to plan and heads up to find his sleeping daughter.

Four Years Later:
Brett claps as Santana walks across the stage. In his lap is Emily who is almost five and their three year old daughter Jana. She's just graduated from Columbia law and already has a good nine to five job set up. He took over the sailing school three years ago and expanded into day sailings, buying two luxury boat that can each seat up to thirty people to go along with the sail boats. He's so proud of his wife for doing this with two young kids it was often hard, but somehow they managed to work things out so she graduated top of her class.
"Babe," Brett says walking over to his wife. "I'm so proud of you."
"Mommy," Jana whines trying to get in her arms.
"Santana, we're all so proud of you." Susan says coming over with Laurel and Jessica.
"Thanks," Santana says blushing at all the attention.
Santana takes Jana in her arms kissing all over her face. Before she also has Emily in her arms trying to get more attention than her younger sister.
"Can we go babe, I'm not feeling well." Santana whispers in his ear.
"Of course babe," Brett softly says rubbing her belly discreetly. "Mom we're going to head home and if you want to come over you're welcome."
"We're coming over, I want to play with our nieces." Laurel says answering for the three of them.
Twenty minutes their all back at the small house that Brett and Santana bought a year into their marriage. It's got four bedroom which is really good since they just found out two days ago that they were pregnant with their third child.
"So Em what do you want to do?" Jessica asks always willing to play with her niece who just like her likes to dress up.
"Dress up," Emily happily says.
"Me too," Jana says.
"How about we go raid your mom's closet." Laurel happily says smirking over at her sister-in-law.
"Hey," Santana shouts after them as they run upstairs.
"So what's up with the two of you? You're acting like you're trying to hid something." Susan says as they sit down, Santana practically sitting in Brett's lap.
"Well we have some big new again." Brett says placing his hands over her belly.
"I'm pregnant again," Santana happily says.
"I'm so happy for the two of you." Susan says smiling at the happy couple.
Santana leans back into Brett and kisses them. They're so happy with their life and how it's going, they can't wait to tell the girls about their expanding family.
"I love you so much," Brett whispers in her ear.
"Not as much as I love you Mr. Pierce." Santana says kissing him.
"Nope, I love you more Mrs. Pierce."
