"Hi Mercedes." Brittany said
Mercedes stood in Santana's living room completely still and absolutely shellshocked. She hadn't moved since Brittany had spoken. She stood with an expression that was a mix of shock, confusion, and disbelief. After a minute she took a few steps forward so that she was standing directly in front of Brittany. She stared, the same expression on her face, for about another minute before she drew her hand back and smacked Brittany across the face.
"Mercedes!" Brittany and Santana said at the same time.
"Holy fucking mother of god!" Mercedes yelled at the same time as the other girls. "Holy fucking shit! You are real, what the hell?"
Mercedes, after realizing that Brittany wasn't a ghost pulled her in for a hug, where she held her so tight that Brittany was having trouble breathing.
"Uh Mercedes, can't breath." Brittany choked out.
"Sorry, sorry! Oh my god! What the fucking hell Brittany!" she yelled.
"I'm not dead." Brittany said backing away from Mercedes, afraid that she was either going to hit her again or try and deprive her of oxygen.
"No shit Sherlock!" Mercedes said sarcastically.
"Okay Cedes, I think that you need to sit down, because this is a lot, Santana is still in shock because she really hasn't reacted yet, other than hitting me a few times." Brittany said, Mercedes sat down.
"I'll let you two talk, I need to go and call my mother." Santana said.
"Santana don't be too hard on her!" Santana heard Brittany call after her as she walked into the kitchen.
Santana sat down at the island for a moment before she called her mother. She was totally in shock, Brittany, the love of her life who has been dead for six years was siting in her living room. She knew that she was in shock because she was way to calm about this whole thing, she hadn't really reacted, Brittany was right, she had kissed her, then hit her and cried but other than that she hadn't really reacted at all. She had to talk to her mother, because she was starting to get really angry, really, really angry. She dialed her mothers number and waited, she picked up on the second ring.
"Santana?" she heard her mother's voice on the other line.
"Mami." she said, anger now seeping into her voice. "How the hell could you know that Brittany was alive for six years, six and not say anything to me!" she yelled into the phone.
"Sweetie, I couldn't!" Lucy said sadly.
"Six years Mami, six years I have called you crying over her, and each time you told me the same thing! That she is in a better place and that its all going to be alright! How could you listen to me cry for six years over her and not have the decency to tell me she was alive!" Santana said, she was still yelling, she knew that Brittany and Mercedes, and probably the whole apartment complex could hear her.
"It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do! I wanted nothing more than to tell you but I couldn't! It was for your safety and for hers!" her mother countered.
"You could have told me! I wouldn't have said anything!" she yelled back, knowing that had her mother told her she would have immediately tried to find her.
"Santana, you and I both know that the first thing that you would have done was try and find her, and that would have gotten you both killed!" Lucy said, she knew her daughter very well indeed. "I know that you are angry, I know that this is a lot to take in, but you need to remember that we did this to protect the both of you, she wasn't safe, and if you went with her or even knew that she was alive you would have been in danger!"
"I went through six years of thinking she was dead, six years of hell!" Santana spat, she can't remember ever being this angry at her mother before.
"Santana take a deep breath, please, you need to calm down, I'm pretty sure all of Manhattan can hear you yelling right now." her mother said, in her most soothing voice. "I know you are angry, and you have every right to be angry, but don't take it out on her, she always wanted you to be with her."
"I am angry. I will be angry for a while, there are so many things going on right now. I am so overwhelmed." Santana said, feeling her eyes start to water now.
"Honey, you need to talk to Brittany about everything."
"I know."
"I have to say, I was surprised that you didn't call me last night." Lucy said.
"Well when she called me I kinda freaked out, I sent Kyle to Mercedes and Sam's house, I thought I was finally going crazy and that if I called you you would tell me I was insane." she answered honestly.
"What did you do when you saw her?" her mom asked curiously.
"I kissed her, then I hit her, and then I cried." Santana said, still angry, but trying to calm down.
"Sweetie, is Kyle there?"
"No he's with Sam, but Mercedes is here." she said.
"Have you told her about Kyle and Alex?" her mother asked quietly.
"No." Santana said, also in a quiet voice.
"You know that you have to tell her." Lucy said.
"I know, I will, I'm going to see if she will stay over since Mercedes and Sam have Kyle." Santana said. "I'll talk to her tonight I promise. I need to call Quinn too, and the rest of them too, they all need to know that Brittany is alive."
"Don't change the subject Santana, you need to tell her, tonight. Call Quinn and everyone else tomorrow. Tell Mercedes I said hello, and have her leave because you need to talk to Brittany." Lucy said.
"Fine, adios Mami." Santana said.
"Call me tomorrow mija. Te amo." Lucy said as she hung up the phone.

Same Time Brittany and Mercedes
"I can't believe that you are alive Brittany." Mercedes said as Brittany finished explaining what happened to her.
"I can't believe that I get to be Brittany Pierce again and talk to you and see her again." Brittany said glancing towards the kitchen where Santana was. "What happened after, you know, I died."
"It was terrible. Santana was a mess, I had never seen her like that before. She wasn't Santana, she quit the Cheerios, she hardly spoke, and she hardly ever sang in Glee." Mercedes said.
"Oh god, she quit the Cheerios?" Brittany asked shocked, she never thought that Santana would do that again especially since she had been made head cheerleader.
"Yes. She never even insulted us like she used to. It was weird, it was like we would set ourselves up for it and hope that she would say something snarky. We finally got her to sing again by giving her a solo at Nationals." Mercedes said. "We won that year. Then we graduated and all went in different directions."
"But you guys are clearly still friends." Brittany said.
"Britt we are family, we have always been family and what happened with you just made us all closer. Santana leaned on us all in senior year, especially me, Quinn, Tina, and Kurt. We became super close, we still are."
"So you and Sam got married?" Brittany said smiling.
"Ya," Mercedes said with a smile. "And Mike and Tina, Finn and Rachel and Kurt and Blaine are still together too. Mr. Schue and Ms. P finally got married too." Mercedes said causing Brittany to smile sadly, she had missed so much in her friends lives. Before she could answer she and Mercedes heard shouting coming from the kitchen.
"Six years Mami, six years I have called you crying over her, and each time you told me the same thing! That she is in a better place and that its all going to be alright! How could you listen to me cry for six years over her and not have the decency to tell me she was alive!" Santana's voice came out of the kitchen.
"Oh my god her mother knew!" Mercedes said shocked.
"Yes, her parents, my parents and my little brother were the only ones that knew." Brittany said feeling guilty.
"I went through six years of thinking she was dead, six years of hell!" Santana's voice came from the kitchen again.
"She really did go through hell. She still loves you Britt, she never stopped, but its probably gonna take her some time to be able to,uh, get back together with you for, um, various reasons." Mercedes said while looking down at her feet.
"I wanted her to come with me Cedes, more than anything but they told me that it was to dangerous. I thought about her all the time."
"Trust me, she still talks about you, even though it kills her to do it she does, well when she's around me anyway." Mercedes said.
"Hey Cedes, do you think that maybe you could go, I need to talk to Britt about some stuff." Santana said reappearing in the living room.
"Sure thing San, I'll bring Kyle home tomorrow? Bring Sam, have him see Britt?" Mercedes asked.
"Yes, give my baby boy a kiss for me oh and don't tell Sam I wanna see his reaction." Santana said hugging Mercedes.
"Not if I'm gonna get slapped again, I'm already gonna have a black eye from Mercedes." Brittany laughed also hugging Mercedes.
"Sorry about that, I guess I kinda thought you were a ghost." she laughed. "Alright, bye guys!"
"Bye Cedes." they called after her.
"Are you hungry Britt?" Santana asked when they heard the door to the apartment close.
"Actually now that you mention it I kinda am." she answered causing Santana to giggle.
"Okay, how about I order a pizza." Santana said, Brittany nodded.
"Hey Mikey, its Santana. Ya hi, can I get one of my usuals please, yes delivery, ya just throw it on the card. That's perfect your a saint thanks!" Santana said into her phone causing Brittany to raise an eyebrow.
"You get pizza a lot?" she questioned as Santana hung up the phone.
"Ya its Kyle's favorite food." she said. "Speaking of Kyle he is what I wanted to talk to you about actually."
"Okay." Brittany said nervously. "Santana are you married?" she blurted out.
"No Brittany I'm not married." Santana said shaking her head.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Santana shook her head. "Boyfriend?" Brittany squeaked out.
"No, but now you need to listen okay." Santana said.
"Okay."
"Alright, well it was two years after you died, I was a sophomore in college and I had my first real relationship since you. Her name was Alex, and I really liked her. We were together for a few months when I found out that she was cheating on me, with a guy. Well I got really angry, we started yelling at each other and well I lost it, I punched her in the face, then I told her we were over and I ran off. It was a couple of weeks later and I was walking back to my dorm and this guy he, he jumped me. He pushed me into an alley and he, he raped me, when he was done he told me that it was for Alex." she said, Brittany gently reached over and grabbed her hand, running her thumb back and forth across Santana's hand. "A few weeks later I found out that I was pregnant with Kyle. At that point I was still in school and had hardly any money of my own. My parents helped me out a ton, then once I got my big break and started making money of my own it was easier, I graduated and then Kyle and I moved in here. I love him so much, he is so amazing." she said, Brittany saw the way that Santana's eyes lit up when she talked about her son, even though she still had tears in her eyes from telling Brittany the story about his father.
"Santana, I am so sorry that that happened to you." Brittany said, she hadn't realized until she spoke that she had tears in her eyes as well.
"Well I got mijo out of it, and I love him so much." she said wiping the tears from her eyes and reaching up to do the same for Brittany.
Brittany grabbed her hand as she reached up to wipe away the tears. They stared at each other intently for a few moments, neither of them breaking eye contact. Brittany realized that Mercedes was right, Santana did still love her, she knew because she was staring at her in the same way that she did when they were in high school. Brittany found herself staring at Santana's lips, Santana smirked in a way that only Santana could. They both leaned forward, there lips were inches apart when the doorbell rang. It snapped them out of their trances
"Pizza's here." Santana said jumping up off the couch and running to the door.
So what did you think? Good? Bad? More? Review?
