Thankfully, Santana had just finished setting everything for the evening by the time the whirlwind of green and laughter came bristling through the house.

She heard the front door opening and loud chatter followed. She wanted to run there to check on her family; to make sure everything went well. But instead Santana moved to the living room and waited anxiously, biting her lip as she contained her protective side.

Santana didn't have to wait long as her children came running down the hall into the living room; Jax in front of everyone with the addition of an Ireland flag as a cape to his attire, and Olivia waving a tiny rainbow flag as she followed her big brother. But both stopped abruptly with wide eyes as soon as they saw their mother in the living room.

Brittany was closing the front door after hanging everyone's coats and taking off her top hat when she heard the cheerful laughter stop as soon as her kids entered the living room. She worried and quicken her step to follow them.

"Mommy, you look so pretty!" Brittany heard Olivia speaking a lot louder than necessary.

"You do mom, the prettiest!" Her son agreed, just as she stepped into the living room.

She couldn't help the smile tugging at her lips. Santana was there, already with Olivia straddling her hips and Jax looking up at her in awe. She was wearing the outfit Brittany had left for her; the blonde curiously quirked an eyebrow when she noticed Santana was wearing the particularly short skirt instead of the green pants Brittany had left upstairs.

Despite her daughter's adorable rambling about her fun afternoon, Santana addressed her wife just to make sure. "Did everything go well?"

Brittany thought it was sweet how Santana seemed a bit nervous and apologetic as she asked. The blonde nodded with a gentle smile, trying to reassure her wife. "It was great, San."

She caught Santana's gaze as brown eyes seemed to linger on Brittany's feet before she leisurely sat on the couch and grabbed Jax by the waist, pulling him with her.

"I saw a few friends there and they even joined us, bringing some rainbow flags." She said wiggling her colorful feet as Jax struggled in her lap. Olivia waved her little flag right on Santana's face, tickling her nose to emphasize.

Santana squeezed her little girl and laughed. Brittany was never one to do something without a reason. The brunette had realized earlier that Brittany probably had put those shoes on as her own way of protesting for LGBT rights in the parade, and now Brittany had just confirmed it. It only made Santana admire the woman even more, and if possible it just made her fall that much harder for the blonde.

"I have something for you." Santana smiled at her family. Olivia squealed in her arms, and Jax sat upright in Brittany's lap giving his mom his full attention. Brittany narrowed her eyes suspiciously at her wife. The ambiguous way Santana had said it, made Brittany think there was more than just a surprise for the family awaiting her.

"What is it, Mom?" Jax asked overexcited even as Brittany squeezed him, trapping him on the couch.

"Well, you'll have to follow me and see." Santana playful winked at her wife before she made a run for the dining room, Olivia still at her hips making speed noises as her mother ran.

"Maaa!" Jax whined as Brittany kept him in place, even as he started to struggle against her grip. He looked up at her with a scowl which she sloppily kissed, making him whine even further in protest. She squeezed him once again, before she locked her arms firmly at his waist and stood up, lifting him along with her.

She spun him a couple times, until she heard the laughter coming from her son. She stopped to kiss the back of his head. "Okay, let's go, Aquaman!"

When they get to the dining room, the table was set with the fancy silverware, and the whole room was decorated in an Irish theme. The curtains looked new with intricate patterns in dark green and even the table cloth was personalized with beautiful Celtic knots.

As Brittany let go of her son, Olive was already examining all the green food on the table. But Jax went straight to check on the platters of green sweets in the corner.

Olivia looked intrigued by a greenish potato salad plate that Brittany recognize as one of her favorites; a creamy Colcannon mash. There was a delicious looking roasted Lamb in the middle of the table and what appeared to be honey-glazed Corned Beef. An typical Irish Soda bread rested right next to it and mushy peas on a bowl by its side.

Brittany's mouth was already watering as she was still taking in all the yummy looking food on the dining table when she noticed a jar of a green beverage on the table and Brittany wondered what the hell it was; by the look of it, she knew it wasn't green beer especially because Santana would never buy that while the blonde was pregnant.

Even if Santana probably used magic on the decoration, Brittany was really impressed with how thoughtful it all was. The complex meal Santana had put together surely was a lot of work even if she had bought some of it (or most of it) and in the end everything looked really authentic.

"Wow, San! It looks great!" Brittany said as she eyed every item on the table.

She could see Santana ducking her head across the table and muttering a 'Thanks' so quietly that Brittany was pretty sure that if she didn't have enhanced hearing she wouldn't have heard. She eyed her wife for a moment until Santana lifted her gaze back. There was something in her eyes as she gave Brittany a sweet smile. There was a silent conversation between them and a mutual agreement to talk later.

Santana broke their moment when she swatted her daughter's hand from the shamrock cookies nearby. "Olive, don't pick at the food. Dessert is only after dinner."

Olivia pouted in a very Brittany fashion; her thin lips so similar to her Mama's. But the little girl obediently sat in her usual chair at the table, waiting for everyone else. Brittany smiled at her adorable daughter and also took a seat; she noticed Jax was already in his seat eyeing the food hungrily.

Santana went around the table to serve both her kids; she would have served her wife as well, but Brittany was already done by the time Santana was finished with Jax's plate.

"What's that?" Olivia twisted her nose at the green liquid, her mother had just poured into her cup.

"It's not really Irish, but it was the only green drink I could think off." Santana explained as she poured Jax the same green liquid. "It's pineapple mint juice."

She didn't have to say it. It went without saying that pineapple was Brittany's favorite juice. Brittany beamed from her seat, her face filled with adoration for her wife.

"Give it a try, Olive." The blonde encouraged her little girl with a sure nod and a smile. Olivia hesitantly grabbed her small cup with both hands and took a tentative sip. Her light brown widened in surprise and she took another sip. And another.

"So 'ood" she mumbled against the cup as she took a bigger sip. Brittany laughed, glancing at Santana who was also smiling as she made her way to her seat.

Santana passed by her wife's chair, and briefly grazed her exposed neck with the tip of her fingers. She could see the shivers at the back of the blonde's neck but didn't say anything as she finally took her own seat.

Everyone dug in, and Santana briefly caught Brittany narrowing her eyes at her, but she kept eating normally, ignoring her wife's stare.

"Mommy, it's soo yummy!" Olivia squealed from her seat, stuffing her mouth with more roasted lamb and mushy peas and humming in delight. Santana thanked the lords that her daughter had no problem eating peas; unlike Jax.

They were all enjoying their meal, and Brittany had to admit Santana had outdone herself, the food was amazing and the blonde had never tasted a drink that good, Irish or not, pineapple mint might just be her new favorite juice.

Brittany noticed that Jax had suddenly stopped hungrily cleaning his plate halfway through. By the thoughtful look on his face, she could already sense the question coming.

"Mama, why Aquaman?" He asked his Mama, cocking his head to the side. "Isn't he lame?"

"What? Jaxter no! He is awesome!" She refuted with frown on her face, as Jax continued to look confused. Brittany shook her head; her child really needed to be educated on superheroes.

"Well, he is blonde and kinda tanned. Like you."" She started, adjusting on her seat "And you are wearing green and orange, his colors." She smiled, noticing Santana stifling a giggle across from her as Jax looked down at his green suit and the Ireland cape draping his shoulders.

"Plus he is super strong, like Superman. And he has a bunch of cool abilities." She finished proudly, and her son just stared at her.

"He does?" He asked a little doubtful.

"Yep! He can talk to fish and even dolphins!" Brittany said, and even caught Olivia's attention who was beaming at the newfound information from across the table.

Jax nodded along to the information, but he still looked thoughtful. "But Mom told me dolphins aren't fish. They are mommals."

"It's mammals, sweetie. And you are right." Brittany corrected with a smile, and patted his messy hair. "But dolphins are just gay sharks. And sharks are fish."

His Mama's logic really made sense. Jax looked pleased with the explanation and grinned at his Mama, showing his dimples before he focused his attention back on gulfing down the rest of his food.

Santana shook her head at her wife from her seat. And marveled how Brittany's Brittanyisms, as she liked to call it, had always made perfect sense to their son.

The rest of the meal was filled with Olivia wanting to know everything about Dolphins while Jax despite being curious about Aquaman, was too busy eating his second plate of food. By the time he finished, everyone was already done and waiting on him for dessert; Olivia bouncing on Brittany's lap as she waited for her brother.

Santana grabbed the platter of assorted sweets and suggested that everyone moved to the living room to watch a movie.

Olivia excitedly wanted to watching Finding Nemo again. No one objected as Jax really liked the movie. The little girl settled on Brittany's lap and asked about all the different sea creatures through the entire movie. But she was rather displeased when she realized the lack of dolphins in the movie; even if she had watched Finding Nemo hundreds of times already.

Santana was just relaxing on the couch, enjoying her time with her family, trying to make up for the time she spent stuck in the study stressing over work. Jax sat at her feet as he quietly watched the movie, though he still paid close attention to his Mama as she talked about sea turtles and different animals to Olivia.

By the time the movie was done, Olivia was fast asleep curled into Brittany's lap.

Santana softly stroked Jax's hair as he tried to fight sleep, laying his head on his mom's knee, eyes half closed as he tried to stay awake until the end of the movie.

Brittany got up with Olivia in her arms. She bended down to kiss shaggy blonde hair and whisper good night to her son, she exchanged glances with her wife before she left the room to take the little girl in her arms to bed.

"Hey, Aquaman." Santana called his attention. He sleepily mumbled something as he sat upright, rubbing his eyes.

"Let's get ready for bed, love." She cupped his cheek and played with his hair, and he could only nod slowly; too tired to think of any protest.

Santana turned off the TV and guided her sleepy boy to the bathroom upstairs, where she made sure he brushed his teeth and then picked up a blue space onesie for him; she couldn't waste the opportunity to see him using her favorite little onesie. He didn't even fight her choice, and just took the onesie this time.

She kissed him good night and tucked him in, she was sure he mumbled something about Aquaman pajamas, and she had a feeling he might start an Aquaman phase soon because of Brittany.

She was closing the bedroom door when she met Brittany just as the blonde was coming out of Olivia's room. They exchanged glances and a smile before both headed for their bedroom.

Brittany stopped just outside of their door and turned to Santana with a thoughtful look. Her eyes looked sad in the dim light of the hallway.

"San…" She took Santana's hand and gently caressed it with her thumb. "I'm sorr-…"

She was interrupted by full lips on her. It took a second for Brittany to register the hungry kiss, but soon she kissed back, just as eager.

"No, Britt." Santana whispered against her lips. "I'm sorry."

She didn't give Brittany time to refute, as she delved her tongue in her hot mouth, exploring every inch of Brittany. Santana pulled back out of breath, but kept laying short kisses on the blonde's lips.

"I'm sorry" Kiss. "I was such a jerk." Kiss. "You're so sweet." Kiss.

"It's okay, San. And thank you for everything you did." Brittany reassured between kisses. "So you are not mad?"

"No, baby." Santana continued laying kisses all over Brittany's face as her heels made them about the same height. "How could I, when my wife got me such a hot outfit?"

Brittany giggled happily, and cupped a tan cheek to pull her into for a real kiss. Santana relaxed into Brittany, resting her arms around her neck as she let the blonde deepen and lead the kiss.

They pulled back after a while, out of breath but giddy. Santana had a Cheshire smile and Brittany quirked an eyebrow at her.

"I have something for you." She repeated her earlier words, but with a different intonation. Santana noticed the smug grin taking over her wife's face; it was screaming 'I knew it'.

"Yeah?" Brittany teased back.

Santana pressed their bodies closer together as she hummed in response. "I shouldn't have been so rude, when you only wanted to surprise me."

She leaned in and whispered hotly in her ear "But now it's my turn to surprise you."

Brittany couldn't help the full body shiver that ran through her. She leaned back to gaze at brown wicked orbs and her permanent smirk. Santana took a step back, disconnecting them to Brittany's disappointment, but grabbed at her wife's hand and guided her into their bedroom.

Santana didn't waste time, and quickly pushed Brittany to sit on their large bed. Before the blonde could say anything Santana beat her to it.

"Close your eyes." Santana instructed her voice low and husky.

Brittany was truly curious to see what her wife had prepared so she eagerly complied. She heard the door closing and a locking sound; she smiled at that. Then she felt Santana's body get closer to her, and gentle fingers starting to unbutton her jacket.

She heard the gasp Santana barely muffled when the brunette realized Brittany wasn't wearing a shirt under her suit's jacket, only her dark tie. Santana moved lower and tugged Brittany's pants down. Brittany raises an eyebrow at that, knowing Santana could see it. After the item was removed and the blonde sat back down, she heard shuffling around the room. First at her left and then at her right where their shelves were located. Brittany was starting to get impatient when soft music started playing.

"San…" Brittany started in warning, but a press of a finger to her lips stopped her.

"You can open them now."

Brittany complied, noticing the room was now dimmed, and their stereo was on. Santana was in front of her, her dark locks cascading down her shoulders. Heels off and her blouse rolled up and tied just under her breasts, exposing her toned midriff. Her skin seemed to glow in the low light. Gorgeous.

Santana took a step closer and her wife gulped at the close proximity.

"San, that's loud. The kids will…"

Santana shushed her, parting the blonde's legs with her knee as she stepped between them. She pointed at the door with a sly grin. "See those markings?"

Brittany narrowed her eyes in the direction and could see markings on the threshold and handle of the door even in the low light with her enhanced sight; she didn't know what they meant but they looked familiar, Brittany was sure she saw symbols like that before in one of Santana's books.

"That's a silence spell." She whispered lowly in her ear, her moist breath causing Goosebumps to rise on pale skin.

Brittany snapped her head back to her wife. "D-does that mean….?"

"The room is sound proof." Santana smirked deviously. As she leaned again, and circled her tongue around Brittany's earlobe; she didn't miss the shiver running down her wife's body.

"So…" She prolonged the word as Brittany held her breath in anticipation. "I get to hear you screaming my name."


This chapter was getting too big and I cut it in half so I'd have an update sooner. Hopefully, that's a nice cliffhanger :D

Good news and possible bad news though. Good news: Next chapter will be up in a couple of days. It's nearly ready, so no long wait.

Bad news: It will probably be the last installment of the story :( Yeah. I don't know if anyone is still even reading this but I had a 4th of July special planned and half written but my schedule is crazy and I don't know when I would have it up (Probably mid September) and I don't know if you guys are interested in that so late in the game.

I enjoyed writing this either way. And I hope everyone liked this part despite not having any smut yet.

This is unbeta'd so all mistakes are mine. So, hm, sorry about that.

Last but not least, please let me know if you all liked the chapter.

Ducks.
