The Truth
Chapter 3
Brittany woke up the next morning and couldn't help but smile at the sleeping Latina lying by her side. The blonde wanted to admire Santana all day but she knew she had things to do and Brittany felt it would also be a bit creepy.
Brittany lightly placed a soft kiss on Santana's cheek before slipping out of the large sized bed and putting her clothes on for the day. Since it was the middle of winter Brittany decided to put on a baggy sweater she had gotten from a cheer camp and yoga pants to match, since it was a Saturday and the girls had no school Brittany had no desire to dress nice.
The blonde quietly made her way downstairs not wanting to wake anyone up but she suddenly stopped in her tracks once she reached the bottom of the stairs. To her surprise Sugar was already awake and drinking some type of beverage in a coffee cup.
'' Good morning Sugar, how was your sleep?'' Brittany asked with a wide smile as she made her way towards her daughter and noticed she was wearing an outfit that belonged to her. '' Those clothes don't really fit you good, do they.''
Sugar smiled before taking a sip of the liquid that was in the mug. '' They fit alright; the only thing wrong with them is that the pant leg is a bit long, but that's only because I'm not as tall as you. I guess I got Santana's height, huh.'' Sugar joked, trying to make her mom laugh, which indeed worked. '' But I really do have a serious question for you.''
Brittany nodded at her daughter before taking a seat beside her in one of the kitchen chairs. Before Sugar started talking the blonde grabbed a hold of her mug and took a small drink from it. Brittany was happy to taste hot chocolate and not coffee, the blonde could never stand the strong taste of coffee, that was all Santana.
'' What do you want to talk about?'' Brittany asked as she placed the mug full of hot chocolate back in front of Sugar.
Sugar looked down at her hands as she talked, she felt really awkward bringing this topic up, but the girl had too. It was bugging her, and to be honest she missed it as well.
'' I know that technical you really aren't my mama yet, but do I have to call you Brittany. It's just really weird calling you by your real names, I mean it was hard enough calling you Brittany and Santana at school when you didn't know but now it's killing me not being able to call you guys mama or mami.''
Brittany smiled sweetly as she took in her daughters words and grabbed a hold of Sugar's hand.
'' Sugar baby, look at me.'' Brittany said as she tried to get her daughters eyes to look at her. Sugar did slowly lift her eyes to look at her mother who was full of love and care, like she always was. '' It must have been hard, not being able to act like our daughter around us.''
Sugar shook her head as she held onto her mother's hand. '' You have no idea mama, it was literally killing me. ''
Brittany frowned. She didn't want to be a downer but she had to break the bad news to Sugar. '' Sugar baby, you don't know how happy Santana and I are that we found out you are our daughter, I have to be honest, Santana was sacred at the beginning but after it really settled in she was beyond excited. But Sugar, you still can't call us mama or mami in public; you have to understand that Santana and I could get in trouble if anyone finds out and takes it the wrong way. Don't get us wrong, we would love it if you called us mama at home but you just can't let anyone find out, okay Sugar.'' The blonde explained, instantly feeling bad.
'' I understand mama, it's just gonna be hard.''
'' I know baby, but you're strong. You are a Pierce-Lopez after all.'' Brittany smiled, placing a soft kiss on the back of Sugars hand as she let go of it and stood up from the chair and walked over to the fridge and opened it.
'' Don't you hate it when mami sleeps in late.'' Sugar slightly wined, changing to a brighter subject as she finished off her hot chocolate and just admired her mother from afar.
'' Yes! I hate it. I swear if I let her she would sleep her whole day away, but luckily I trained her to get up before twelve.'' Brittany seriously said as she looked through the fridge. Sugar couldn't help but laugh as she heard Brittany's words.
'' God, she is so whipped.'' Sugar blurted a little too loud for her comfort. ''Sorry, Asperger's.'' The girl mumbled.
Brittany couldn't help but giggle at what Sugar said then full out laugh as she watched Santana walk down the stairs looking beyond tired. The Latina was confused as she watched both girls laugh while looking at her.
'' What?'' Santana asked, walking to the kitchen and kissing Brittany from behind.
'' Nothing hun.'' Brittany assured as she turned around and snuggled into Santana's arms. The Latina took in the scent of Brittany and couldn't help but moan.
'' mmm Britt, you smell good.''
'' San, our daughter is in the room!'' The blonde squealed with a laugh as Santana laughed along with her.
'' How was your sleep Sugar?'' Santana asked as she gave her girlfriend one last kiss before breaking apart and walking over to her daughter.
'' It was good mami, how was yours?''
Santana couldn't help but laugh before answering. '' Mine was horrible. This one over here..'' Santana started with a smile as she pointed to Brittany who was curious where Santana was going with this conversation. ''She sleeps like no one else is in the bed, so you occasionally get an arm on your face or a foot, I don't know how she does it, but she does.'' The Latina finished, giving Brittany a wink to show her she was only kidding. '' But on a serious note Britt, you're not cooking breakfast this morning.''
Brittany looked at Santana confused as she finally closed the refrigerator and walked over to Santana and Sugar. '' And why am I not cooking?''
'' Because Britt, you know you have a big test coming up on Monday that you need to study for. You procrastinated long enough, you have to pass this history test B or you won't be able to get your mark high enough for the end of the year to pass, and you know if that happens we won't be able to go to school together next fall.'' The Latina explained.
From hearing those words coming from her mother's mouth Sugar almost passed out. That test Santana was talking about had been on Sugar's mind since she had waken up that morning; her mother needed to pass that test.
'' Mama, promise me you'll study hard for that test.'' Sugar pleaded, looking Brittany in the eyes with her now sad ones.
Brittany was confused at Sugar's sudden sadness but since her daughter did ask her to study the blonde would. '' Of course I'll study baby, I'll do my best. I promise.'' Brittany smiled to both Santana and Sugar. '' But what are you guys gonna do while I'm studying?'' The blonde asked.
Santana took that moment to slide one arm around Sugar and smile. '' Well, I have some serious catching up to do with my favorite daughter.''
After Santana got cleaned up for the day she decided she would take Sugar to the mall to catch up. After having the conversation about Brittany's test that morning the Latina was curious as to why Sugar got so upset about it.
The two girls finally settled on some fries to share as they placed their small bags beside them that carried the things Santana had bought for the two and sat down to talk.
'' So Sugar, why did you all of a sudden freak out at about Britt's test. I mean I suppose us Lopez's freak out often but not over things like tests. I mean Britt's got this test in the bag. She's gonna study her ass off and ace it.'' Santana said, not worried at all as she took a fry from the container they were held in.
'' Mama, you don't understand. I don't know if I should tell you this but,'' Sugar's voice instantly got lower as she continued her sentence. '' If Britt doesn't pass that test your relationship with her could possibly be in danger. You see, Brittany originally doesn't pass that test. However that week when they were being marked you were able to sneak in the classroom and change the grade on the computer to a passing mark since she had that teacher who literally didn't care and left his stuff everywhere. But two days ago that teacher got into a serious car crash, he's okay but now mama is gonna have the same substitute that she had on Friday, who was very strict and was hard on everyone. If that's the case we won't be able to change the test mark and help Brittany pass senior year, which also means you two won't be going to college together and your relationship will be really rough for you two. Trust me, every day since I've been here I've been having these dreams of our future together and if anything changed. Nothing changed until last night when I saw this. We need to fix it, we need Britt to pass that test.'' Sugar explained, holding back tears.
Santana's heart started to beat faster as everything Sugar explained settled in. She was right, Brittany needed to pass that test, if she didn't Santana could possibly lose everything she loved, Brittany and Sugar. The Latina didn't want to lose the family she had just found out about, it would truly break her heart.
'' She's going to pass that test.'' Santana said very confident as she forgot about the full plate of fries on the table. '' Whether if she does it on her own or we do something to help her, she's gonna pass it, I can't lose you two now, I finally just got my shit together and am actually happy.'' The Latina added looking Sugar in the eye to make sure she understood what she was about to say next. '' Sugar, none of this can be told to Brittany. If she doesn't pass that test and we change her grade I know she'll be pissed. This stays between you and I, got it.''
Sugar shook her head before linking her pinkie with Santana's, remembering that her mother's did that all the time in the future. '' She won't find out, I promise.''
