It was one of those days, Santana could feel it already. She was going to be an emotional wreck and it was all the fault of those damned hormones. It was just past 9am and Brittany was getting ready for her 10am class at the studio while Lucy continued to run around the apartment singing her own rendition of 'Forget You'. Santana decided that now was as good a time than any to throw herself from her bed and go in search of some chocolate.
"Baby? Do we have any chocolate?" Santana called through to the bathroom as she stretched her arms above her head, padding through to the living room wearing nothing but sweats and a vest top.
"We're not supposed to have chocolate until after lunch mom." Lucy appeared before Santana, holding her own hands behind her back and peering up at her through perfectly blue eyes. Santana couldn't help but feel overly emotional at the beauty of her daughter and didn't realise there were a couple of tears sliding down her cheeks.
"Mommy! Mom's crying again." Lucy rolled her eyes in a very similar way Santana did herself. The small Latina crouched down and pulled the little blonde into her arms.
"I love you little lady." Santana squeezed gently, letting her eyes close as Lucy eventually wrapped her own arms around Santana's next neck.
"Mom, you're funny. You don't need to tell me you love me all the time." Lucy giggled into her mom's hair.
"But I do love you. You're so perfect." Santana pulled back and smoothed out the delicate blonde hair. Lucy shook her head.
"No one's perfect mom."
"Well then, I guess you're no one." Santana shrugged before leaning forward and kissing Lucy on her head softly. Both the girls heard a click and turned to the right. There stood Brittany hugging her camera to her chest in utter awe of her girlfriend and her baby girl.
"Well, I think you're both perfect." Brittany gave a crooked smile before pulling the photo paper out of the camera and wafting it carefully in front of her face. "I think you should both stop being so cute or a won't be able to contain myself." Brittany nodded menacingly at the girls before moving into the bedroom to put her camera down. She immerged a second later, marvelling at the photo in her hand.
"Look at this." Brittany steadied Santana as she came back up to normal height. Santana snaked a hand around Brittany's waist, pulling her closer so she could see the photo. It was beautiful. Santana had her eyes closed and was pressing her lips to Lucy's forehead. Lucy was looking down shyly, she was wearing a cute smile and her nose was scrunched up ever so slightly.
"Baby, this is amazing. Why did God take all the talent and give it to you?" Santana looked up at to meet piercing blue eyes. Brittany giggled before turning to Santana, their proximity; a little closer than either of the expected but it didn't really matter. Brittany licked her lips before tilting her head down. Santana jumped up a little bit onto her tiptoes to meet Brittany halfway. Santana took her free hand and pulled Brittany's jawline closer.
"Eww. Please stop!" Lucy covered her eyes, shifting her fingers slightly to peak through. Santana smiled into the kiss but didn't break away. "Why are you doing this?" Lucy groaned before turning and walking into the kitchen.
Brittany pulled back a little before diving straight back in, taking Santana's lips with her own, pulling her closer by the waist. Santana pushed herself higher on her tiptoes, still smiling brightly as Brittany pressed kisses to the corner of her mouth.
"Like I said, you're too talented for your own good." Santana whispered, pressing her forehead against Brittany's. Brittany let out a contempt sigh and nuzzled her nose against Santana's for a second before giving the shorter girl a quick but gentle peck on the cheek.
"I'm gonna be late sweetie." Brittany shuffled off to the bedroom to find her shoes. Santana pouted as soon as her girlfriend was out of sight.
"Stop pouting, you're screwing up your flawless face!" Brittany called, Santana raised an eyebrow suspiciously, Brittany always knew what was going down and when around this place.
"Have you two quit it?" A high voice came from the kitchen.
"Yes daughter of mine." Santana called overdramatically.
"Mom, I dropped the milk!" Lucy's voice was quiet and uneasy. Santana could tell the girl felt responsible and bad just from her tone. She quickly rushed into the open area spotting the accident. She quickly gathered some paper towels and began mopping up the mess.
"I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to." Lucy frowned. Santana shook her head reassuringly.
"Don't worry about it baby. When we first moved in here, your mommy broke the TV by accident." Santana smiled when she saw her daughter giggle a little. "She was really excited and you know how your mommy loves to dance? She just kept dancing and dancing until she hip checked the TV off its stand." By now, Lucy was in fits of laughter and Santana was tearing up a little herself at the funny memory.
"What are you too cracking up at?" Brittany leant on the door frame.
"Your bad dancing skills." Santana smirked throwing the last of the paper towels in the trash can. Brittany nodded, pulling her lips together in a tight, thoughtful line.
"Okay."
"Are we gonna walk mommy to work?" Santana flung her arms out to her sides, facing Lucy again. Lucy bounced on the balls of her feet and clapped her hands excitedly.
"Can I stay there too?" Lucy looked from Brittany to Santana expectantly, a pleading look on her face. Lucy could sense their hesitation and decided to give them her best innocent, puppy dog look.
"Stop it Lucy." Santana went into the other room to pull on a pair of comfy shoes and a coat. "Come here!" Lucy frowned dejectedly and stomped into the other room, Brittany's eyes trailing with her the whole way.
"But why not?" Lucy nearly growled, sticking her arms in the coat Santana was holding up for her.
"Because baby, you're coming to work with me at 12." Santana poked Lucy's nose playfully. Lucy's eyes brightened up.
"I get to help at the café?" Lucy asked, almost in utter disbelief. Santana grinned as she picked up her keys from the counter.
"You get to sit quietly in the corner while I work." Santana opened the door for the two blondes to head out in front of her. She locked the door behind her before the family began to head down the stairs. Brittany holding onto Lucy's hand all the way down.
"Did you hear that mommy? I get to help at the café." Lucy charged at the doors to the street pushing with all her might. Brittany helped the tiny girl to open the glass doors before holding onto the girl's hand again.
"Sit quietly at the café." Santana corrected, resting her head on Brittany's shoulder as they walked steadily in the direction of the studio.
"I'll come through to the café at three when I finish." Brittany reached out her free hand to lace her fingers through the Latina's. Santana looked down at their loosely joined hands and smiled ecstatically.
"You'll break your face if you're not careful." Brittany laughed quietly to her girlfriend.
"I'm just, really happy." Brittany couldn't help but feel smitten. Santana looked down coyly as they approached the corner studio where Brittany worked.
"Me too." Brittany leaned in and kissed Santana on the cheek before leaning down and kissing Lucy on the head. "I'll see you two beautiful ladies later." Brittany clicked her tongue and winked before spinning and walking out of sight.
"Just you and me now baby." Santana held out her hand which Lucy took before spinning herself around. "What do you wanna do? You seem a bit hyper." Santana smiled at the skipping child. Lucy looked deep in thought for about a minute before she opened her mouth as an idea struck.
"Can we go see Auntie Rach?" Lucy begged. Santana went through Rachel's schedule in her head before nodding. "Sounds good. Let me text her first though."
"Okay. Can we go for a walk in the park while we wait?" Lucy was swaying a little side to side.
"Whatever you want baby girl." Santana ruffled the blonde hair with a free hand.
"I want to feed the ducks."
Santana looked on. God, this girl was so much like Brittany it was unreal. In nearly every aspect she was like her mother. The perfection in her family was bordering on disgusting. Santana chuckled to herself before letting Lucy go to run through a flock of pigeons. The pigeons flew away as the tiny blonde giggled spinning around with her hands strewn in the air. As free as ever.
