a/n: I'm back! There wasn't a whole lot of demand for the story, so I didn't upload it, but someone sent me a PM and asked if I could post another, so here it is! Fresh from the depths of my mind. I am spending most of these first few chapters developing the different aspects of this story. From Lily as a person, to Santana and Brittany's relationship, to Lily's relationship with each of her parents, and then the people that are in their lives. From their it will get better. It's kind of like a TV show; it has be set up properly! :)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :) Reviews are highly appreciated, and strongly encouraged. I won't really update unless someone asks. I am a demand kinda person. You want it... let me know. :)
Craft time. It was officially Lily's favorite part of school. Ever since recess, she had a friend just like everyone else, and she was excited for that.
"Lily." Shea was applying the glue to the soon-to-be beautiful glitter picture for her moms.
"Yeah?" Lily was nervous that Shea was going to get glue on the table. He was already making a little pond on the paper: it was only a matter of time before the paper couldn't support all of the glue, and she didn't want to get into trouble.
"Are we best friends?" Shea stopped squirting glue onto paper and grabbed a tube of glitter. He looked over at Lily, waiting for an answer. When she didn't answer, he decided to answer for himself. "I think we should be best friends. We are the most awesome ones here, it only makes sense." He handed Lily a container of red glitter and then proceeded to work on the masterpiece of theirs. It did make sense: that they should be best friends because they are the awesomest ones.
"Yeah. We are best friends." Shea looked up from the paper and smiled at Lily. Wow, this is Lily first friend, let alone best friends.
"Can we finish this? We are going to not have time."
"Ok, on 3." Lily said, she was excited to have a best friend, and she was excited to make an art project, and she was excited for her moms to pick her up so that she could tell them all about her day and her new best friend. "1…..2…..3!" They immediately started shaking the containers of glitter, switching colors every once in a while. The glitter was getting all over the place: on the table, on the floor, on the children, but that was all ok, because soon they would have a masterpiece.
The two kids continued shaking the glitter rapidly until Shea said "OK! It's done!" They both stopped immediately and looked down at their project. It looked a little bit messy, Lily couldn't tell what it was. She gave a disappointed look toward the paper, but Shea noticed.
"It's like a cloud." Lily looked up at the blonde haired boy.
"What?" Her lip was still puffed out, and she looked as if she were going to cry.
"Yeah. Do you ever look up at clouds and see something? Like a turtle? Or a spaceship?" Lily didn't say anything, but she nodded, showing Shea that she had done that before. 'Well, it's kind of the same thing. It's not a picture of something, but of a lot of somethings. Whatever you want it to be!" That brought a smile to the little girls face.
"What do you think it looks like?" Shea put his finger to his chin and tapped it for a second. It made him look like he was thinking really hard, when finally, he lifted his finger in the air and then pointed at the picture.
"It looks like a elephant!"
Lily laughed. She didn't think that it looked like an elephant at all. "How?"
"Look, there is the trunk, and there are his ears and.." Shea pointed and a few things explaining why this blob looked like an elephant. "Do you see it?" He looked over at Lily, looking a little confident and sure of himself, but also a little bit hopeful, like he wanted her to see the elephant.
Lily thought hard about this one. She still couldn't see the elephant, even if she turned her head to either side. Then….it clicked. "Yeah! There it is!"
Santana woke up due to the slightest movement up against her front. She didn't mean to fall asleep during the movie, she was actually intrigued by it. Maybe it was easier to blame Brittany at this point. She leaned up on her and caused this amazingly comfortable position. She made the latina's heart flutter at the mere sound of her voice, just imagine what her touch was doing. She looked down at her wife and gave a heartfelt smile and kissed her on the forehead before reaching over to the coffee table for her phone.
"Oh shit! Britt, wake up!" Santana immediately got up from underneath Brittany and the blonde fell back on to the couch startled.
"What? What happened?" She got up and followed after Santana as she rushed to their bedroom. The latina disappeared into their walk-in-closet and came out dressed in jeans and a T-shirt holding a jacket in her hands.
"Britt, you have to change. We have to go get Lily." Santana continued walking out of the bedroom and over the the front door where she began putting on her converse. Just as she finished Brittany came out of their bedroom and rushed to grab the keys.
"What time is it?" the blonde said as she began to put on her toms. The latina looked down at her watch and then back up and Brittany.
"Quarter to 3." Brittany looked up at the ceiling, trying to recall if that meant 15 minutes to 3:00 or 20 minutes to 3:00. Santana finished tying her shoe and walked up to her wife who was digging for her keys in her bag.
"Thanks for a great day." Santana leaned her forehead against Brittany's. She looked up into her wife's perfect blue eyes and just waited for a second. The silence was soothing and comfortable, but as soon as it had begun, it had to end. Brittany outstretched her neck a little so that she could give the latina a quick peck on the lips.
"Anytime." Brittany pulled away and walked out the front door and was followed immediately by Santana.
"Ready or not, here I come!" Shea ran from the wall against the school, out to the playground and began to search for Lily. His mom had come a few minutes ago, but she said that they could stay and play with Lily until her parents came to get her.
Shea ran up the stairs of the playset and looked over the railing so that he could see the entire playground. He places his hand flat above his eyes so that the sun didn't get in his eyes while he searched. From above, he noticed a blue fabric from underneath the slide. The same color of the dress that Lily was wearing. He ran to the slide and went down as fast as he could, and when he got to the bottom, he didn't miss a beat before he started running to where the girl was.
"Found you!" He popped his head under the slide and Lily screamed with laughter. She ran out from her hiding place and towards the swing set. Shea followed after her, laughing all the same. They both got on the swings and began to pump their legs. Little kids have it good, they can switch from one thing to another so fast.
"I bet I can go higher than you!" Lily taunted the blonde-haired boy.
"Nuh-uh!" Shea pumped faster and went higher; laughing and looking back at Lily everytime he went forward.
"Mama! Mommy!" the little girl shrieked as she slowed herself down on the swing by scraping her feet against the ground. Once she stopped, she got off the swing and ran as fast as she could over to her Mama, who quickly scooped the little girl up into her arms, nuzzling her face into the little girls neck. Lily let out a small giggle followed by a shriek.
"How was school, Bug?" Santana asked her daughter as she set the girl down. She kneeled down in front of the girl so that they were face-to-face.
"It was amazing!" the little girl replied. She suddenly remembered her new friend, correction, her new BEST friend, and just had to introduce him. "You have to meet someone" she said as she turned around and started to look for Shea. She saw him standing over by his mom, putting on his jacket. "Come on!"
"Slow down, Lil" Brittany said while she was being pulled towards the boy and his mother, by the wrist. She looked back at her wife, who was following just a few steps behind, and gave her a sweet smile. She was very excited for Lily. Making a friend was a huge deal, especially since Santana had been so set on Lily being at home, not at day-care, up until this year.
"This is Shea. Shea is my best friend. This is my Mommy, and this is my Mama" Lily said as she turned around to look at her moms, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shea.
The blonde-haired boy looked up at Santana and then at Brittany, giving them a sweet smile, which they both returned.
"Hi, my names Jamie. I'm Shea's mom."
Brittany looked over at the woman and saw that her hand was outstretched. Being the friendly parent, she reached out and shook it. The woman standing in front of her was about Santana's height, with green eyes and blonde hair; not her natural hair color as Santana noticed.
"Nice to meet you" Brittany said as she continued to shake the woman's hand. "I'm Brittany, and this is my wife, Santana." Brittany looked back at Santana who was just behind her looking at her phone. Santana could feel her wifes eyes on her, so she looked up and met the green-eyed woman's gaze.
"Hey" she said unenthusiastically and when she met Brittany's glare, she put her phone in her bag and grabbed onto her wife's hand.
"Nice to meet you. Shea insisted on staying and playing with Lily until someone came to pick her up. I didn't think you would take so long, so I stayed and did what you should have done. Looked after her" Jamie rambled while placing her hand on her son's head.
Santana's eyes popped and she turned her head to Brittany.
"The hell?"
Brittany's mouth gaped open slightly and she tightened her hold on Santana's hand, before taking in a large breath and smiling at Jamie. "I'm sorry about that. We fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. Santana insisted on taking the day off since it was our first day with Lily out of the house." She looked at Santana and then back at Jamie.
Jamie shook her head and said "I wasn't trying to make you feel bad, I was just saying; maybe you should pay attention. Set an alarm clock or something." She grabbed Shea's hand who was listening to the conversation that the three women were having, along with Lily. "Once again, it was nice meeting you. Maybe Shea and Lily could have a play date soon. They seem to be getting along really well."
Brittany watched as Jamie walked away with her son, holding tightly to Santana's hand. She truly was the one thing keeping Santana from popping, and Jamie hadn't even said anything that bad. Once the mother and son were out of the gate, Brittany snapped from her trance and looked down at her blue-eyed daughter, who was looking up at her with her head cocked to the side.
"You want to go to Dairy Queen? To celebrate your first day of kindergarten?" the blonde said as she looked down at her daughter, who now had a large smile plastered to her face.
"Yes!" the little girl yelled and ran toward the car. The excited look on her face was priceless; she had a fun day at school, she made a new friend, and she was going to get ice cream. According to her, it was the best day ever.
Santana and Brittany followed after their daughter. "Stay out of the road, Cub!" the blonde yelled after her daughter. She looked over at her beautiful wife, and saw annoyance written all over it. "What's your problem?"
Santana looked over at Brittany with a look of surprise. "What do you mean? My problem is that bitch just talked down on us, and why? Because we were ten minutes late?"
Brittany squeezed the brunette's hand tighter and showed a tight lipped smile. "Yeah, but it's not a big deal San. She was actually right. We fell asleep. That's bad on our part."
Santana looked forward at their daughter who had run up to the edge of the sidewalk and was now crouching down, hugging her knees, and looking at their car. "She still didn't have to be a bitch about it" Santana mumbled.
The blonde laughed ever so slightly, "Oh please, Santana, you would have done the same thing."
