A/N The dates that I use aren't specific. I just want to have a sort of skeleton timeline for the pregnancy.
September 30th 2018
Quinn threaded her arm through Rachel's as they walked down the street. The weather was starting to get colder now but neither of the girls minded, winter was nearly everyone's favourite season. Especially Quinn's.
"I can't wait till it snows." Quinn smiled, her cheeks tinted pink by the breeze. Rachel looked up to the pretty blonde by her side.
"Who says it's gonna snow?" Rachel replied playfully, turning back to watch the ground where she was stepping. Quinn just rolled her eyes.
"Please, we're in New York. It could snow tomorrow and it'd be considered normal." Quinn shouldered Rachel softly, causing the two to stumble into one another.
"Are you trying to throw me into traffic?" Rachel laughed, raising her eyebrows. Quinn pouted and shook her head.
"I'm sorry." Rachel couldn't resist the puppy dog look she was on the receiving end of and popped up on her tiptoes, pecking the blonde's bottom lip with her own. Quinn's eyes immediately brightened and the bounce was back in her step.
"You're whipped Berry." A low voice sounded from behind them.
"Be nice!" Tina hit the taller boy with her purse as she came up at Quinn's side. "Hey guys."
"Looks like you are too Mike." Rachel narrowed her eyes, a smug smile gracing her lips. "Hey Tina. What are you two doing this early on a Friday morning?" Rachel smiled at her friend. Mike greeted Quinn by nodding before taking Tina's hand in his own, gently squeezing. Tina turned away from Rachel for a second to smile up at him fondly.
"We both got the day off and decided to go out." Mike explained. Rachel and Quinn smiled at the couple.
"Where are you off?" Quinn asked, deciding to thread her fingers through Rachel's.
"Don't know. Wherever we end up I suppose." Mike again answered, shrugging but his eyes twinkled with mystery. Quinn noticed the hint in his voice and tilted her head critically but let it slide.
"What are you two doing?" Tina spoke up, not even noticing the looks between Quinn and Mike.
"We're off to get Lucy, Santana's on a mood swing and Brittany thinks it's a good idea for Lucy to get out of the apartment until Santana stops eating everything in sight and crying over how 'odd socks are said because they've lost their soul mate.'" Rachel spoke, bobbing her head along to her own voice as she recalled the story. Tina and Mike turned to the petite brunette at the same time; giving her the most inquisitive look ever. Rachel registered the looks and shook her head in defence.
"That's what Brittany told me. I don't know the details of it." Quinn laughed at the panicked look on her girlfriend's face.
"Basically, Santana's on a rampage and we're going to save the lion cub." Quinn clicked her tongue, swaying to herself.
"You're both weird." Mike deadpanned. "I forget why we keep them around sometimes." Mike turned to Tina, walking into her slightly. Tina just rolled her eyes.
"I'll take offense to that." Rachel spoke, facing straight forward, smiling to herself.
"Get out of here you two." Quinn waved her hand in a random direction as they stopped in front of Brittany and Santana's apartment building.
"I'll text you later." Tina shouted over her shoulder as she and Mike practically skipped away. Quinn eyed the Asian boy as they disappeared into the park. She'd keep her suspicions to herself for now.
"Quinn." Rachel's voice brought her back to reality.
"What?"
"Are you coming? I swear I can hear plates being thrown." Rachel held the door open for her lady. Quinn shook her head and walked through the door. After the two had finally climbed the stairs, hand in hand, they walked along the hallway to Brittany and Santana's door. Rachel raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"We don't want anything you're selling!" An angry voice yelled from inside.
"Open then damn door Santana." Rachel growled back, Quinn felt her hair rip around her face as Santana whipped the door open.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" Santana's eyes were dark, her hair was a mess. "Well?" Santana's patience was wearing thin; it was a good job neither Rachel nor Quinn was scared of evil, angry, Santana.
"Auntie Rach, save me!" Lucy flew out the door between Santana's leg and arm, clinging to Rachel for dear life.
"Hey guys." Brittany came up behind Santana, stroking the raven coloured hair soothingly. Santana visibly relaxed under the touch and dropped her arms from the frame of the door. "Thanks for taking her." Brittany smiled gratefully, pulling Santana out of the way so she could hug her friends.
"Anytime sweetie." Quinn pulled out of the embrace. "We'll bring her back after tea okay?" Brittany nodded.
"We'll see you later. Call us if you need us." Rachel spun the little blonde girl around by her hand before nodding at Brittany. "Now go control your fiery Latina." Rachel quipped.
"I heard that you squealing hobbit!" Santana went to attack the tiny brunette but Brittany had shut the door before she had even gotten the chance.
"Baby, you need to chill." Brittany walked into the kitchen to fetch a tub of ice cream and two spoons. Santana's eyes bugged, she walked briskly after her blonde girlfriend, stopping just after the doorframe.
"Excuse me? Chill? You expect me to chill?" Santana's voice was high with disbelief. Brittany just shook her head, smirking to herself as she dug around for the ice cream. "I'm the pregnant one here! I'm the one that's eating her own bodyweight in chocolate each day, I'm the one that wakes up craving pickles and nutella, I'm the one that can't eat breadsticks anymore because they make me want to hurl over everything in my way, I'm the one -" Santana was caught off guard as Brittany pulled her in by the waist and crashed their lips together. She dropped the ice cream onto the table and snaked her arms around the tan body. She bent over slightly, the bump of Santana's stomach getting in the way slightly but it didn't bother Brittany one bit.
Santana bit down on Brittany's lower lip softly, moaning into the kiss.
"I hate you." Santana breathed between kisses. Brittany giggled, pulling back just enough so she look deeply into Santana's chocolate, brown orbs.
"I hate you too." She whispered before leaning in and pressing chaste kiss on the tip of Santana's nose. "I have an idea." Brittany pulled Santana into the living area of the apartment, leaving Santana standing in the most open space.
"Puck left his music here last time he was here." Brittany rifled through her CD collection before selecting a specific CD and opening the CD player.
"Oh, Britt, I can't dance. I mean, come on. My ankles are getting fat and I feel like a walrus that ate a whale." Santana shook her head, pushing on her own back with her hands. "And, the ice cream…" Santana gave a weak gesture towards the kitchen. Brittany pressed play and smiled adoringly at the smaller girl as she worked her way over to her.
"What even is this song?" Santana chuckled unconvincingly. Brittany dipped her eyes before offering Santana her hand.
"Dance with me?" Her voice was so small and delicate; Santana's heart almost broke right then and there.
"Always." Santana's grasped the olive skin and pulled the blonde closer to her.
'I'm out of touch, I'm out of love,
I'll pick you up when you're getting down.
And out of all these things I've done,
I think I'll love you better now.'
Brittany and Santana swayed slowly, Santana tore her eyes away from the piercing blue ones to rest her head on Brittany's chest, closing her eyes as she listened intently to the heartbeat of her girlfriend.
'I'm out of sight, I'm out mind,
I'll do it all for you in time.
And out of all these things I've done,
I think I'll love you better now.'
Brittany leant down and gently pressed a kiss to Santana's hair. Santana looked up when she felt the touch; her eyes flew to Brittany's pink lips. She crept up onto her tiptoes and brushed her lips against Brittany's.
'I think I'll love you better now.'
Hey, thank you all so much for the reviews, alerts, favourites etc. I really like to hear your thoughts. The song is Ed Sheeran's Lego House just in case you wanted to listen to it while reading this. It's pretty awesome if you do. There will be more Brittany/Santana/Lucy familyfluff soon.
