Thanks for the reviews last chapter. Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, but works been busy and I just got a puppy so I don't know when I'll get the next chapter up hopefully by next Friday.

"The boys just got back and I'm going to go hangout with them at a tavern down in the fish market." Santana tells her wife giving her kiss on the cheek.

"Be careful San, I don't want anything bad to happen to you." Brittany pouts looking up from Julius who's nursing.

"I always am Britt." Santana says giving her one last kiss and ruffling Lily's hair before she leaves.

"Mommy!" Lily says trying to follow her mother out.

"No Lily come on sweetie, you can't follow mommy today." Brittany says.

Santana walks out of the palace and mounts her horse. She heads off to the barracks where Mike, Sam and Puck all have been staying since they got back. This is her first time since they got back going out on her own and at night none the less. She's looking forward to spending some time with her friends who she hasn't seen in a while. When she reaches the barracks she sees Puck waiting out front for her.

"Santana!" Puck shouts already half drunk.

"Hey buddy," Santana says dismounting and heads in with Puck.

"Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence." Puck says as they walk over to Mike and Sam who are playing dice with two other men from their legion.

"Shut up Puck," Santana says pushing him away from her.

"Come on San, let loose for once." Sam says smiling at her.

"Yeah San sit down and help us kick these guys asses." Mike says.

"Fine," Santana says taking a mug of mead from Puck.

An hour later Santana's just as drunk as her three friends and they are kicking butt at dice. Santana decides to stop drinking since she doesn't want to go home drunk. She needs to sober up so when she wants to go home that she won't be drunk.

"No more Puck, I need to be sober when I head home." Santana says.

"Party pooper," Puck shouts.

"I can't show up back home drunk off my ass." Santana says rolling her eyes at her friend.

"Dude she's right we can't be drunk tomorrow we have work." Mike says always the reasonable one.

"We have another party pooper." Sam shouts to the very drunk group of soldiers.

"I think I should head out now make sure they don't cause too much trouble." Santana says to Mike now understanding why she stopped hanging out with them all the time.

"Go on head home to your wife." Mike says. "Oh Santana don't feel bad you're at a different point in your life than the rest of us."

"Thanks Mike, I'll come see you all of you soon when you're not all drunk." Santana says heading over to her horse.

Santana mounts her horse and waves to Mike as she rides away. She makes it within five blocks of the palace before someone jumps in front of her horse. She pulls up on the reigns stopping just before she hits whoever jumped in front of her.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Santana shouts getting ready to jump off when whoever jumped in front of her pulls a sword and swings at her.

Santana doesn't see the sword until it's already sliced her right arm and right leg.

"Fuck," Santana groans kicking the horse into a gallop.

She does her best to hold on as she races to the palace. She doesn't know if whoever just attacked her is following or what. The guard at the gate stops her which causes her to frown.

"Move," Santana says.

The guard doesn't in fact he pulls his sword instead. Santana's eyes go wide as she realizes what this means.

"This is for Artie." the guard growls.

He lunges at her cutting at her already sliced right leg. She manages to dodge the rest of his attacks and gets through the gate. The guard runs after her shouting that he's going to kill her.

"Stop!" several guards shout at the guard chasing Santana.

Santana manages to get behind the guards as they take down the other guard. The uproar of the guards fighting wakes up everyone in the palace including Brittany who runs down as she knows that Santana isn't back yet.

"Baby," Brittany says running over to Santana who's still on her horse.

"I'm going to be okay." Santana reassures her getting off her horse.

"Sanny," Brittany says when she notices that Santana is bleeding. "Who did this?" she asks starting to fuse over the gashes.

"It was some random guy on the street and that guard over there." Santana softly says leaning into her wife. "Can we just go up to our room." she says.

"Arrest them and find the other guy." Brittany orders which confuses her parents who have just come down.

"What's going on here!" Octavian shouts.

"They attacked San." Brittany says trying not to cry.

"Go help your wife sweetie we'll handle this." Octavian says turning to the guard.

"Thank you daddy." Brittany says.

"I'll take care of the kids you just worry about your wife." Octavia says to her daughter.

Brittany nods before helping Santana into the palace. She has to put a lot of weight on Brittany as her whole right side can't hold her weight. They slowly make their way up to their room shortly after Octavia has ushered the kids into her room.

"Fuck," Santana groans as she flops onto the bed.

"Who did this to you?" Brittany says getting some rags and water to clean up her wounds.

"The guard said it was for Artie." Santana says wincing as Brittany daps the gash on her arm.

"Artie's parents did this. I told my dad we should have done something with them that they'd eventually try and attack you." Brittany says tears starting to form.

"Baby I'm fine I promise." Santana softly says cupping Brittany's cheek.

"But…."

"No buts I'm fine. I just have a few scratches, so all you need to do is dab them and cover them for me and I'll be fine." Santana reassures her.

Reluctantly Brittany nods she knows that there's nothing else she can do so she gets to dotting over her wife's injuries.

"Ouch," Santana groans as Brittany daps at the deepest gash on her right leg.

"Stop being a baby." Brittany says.

"It hurts," Santana complains.

"Just hold still I'm almost done." Brittany says rolling her eyes at her wife.

"It hurts though," Santana pouts as her wife finishes up.

"And you're a big baby." Brittany says kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Thank you Britt." Santana says laying her head on Brittany's shoulder.

That's when Brittany breaks down completely. She starts sobbing clinging tightly to her wife. Santana just holds her wife as best she can patting her back.

"What if you had died? What would me and the kids do without you?" Brittany sobs.

"Baby I promise you that nothing will ever take me away from you and the kids." Santana softly says running her fingers through her hair soothingly.

It takes a few minutes for Brittany to calm down snuggled into her wife.

"You know I love you more than anything." Santana says kissing the top of her head.

"I know," Brittany softly says.

"Good because I will always love you and for as long as I live I will always be here by your side." Santana reassures her.

"I love you so much too Sanny." Brittany softly says kissing her.

Santana deepens the kiss before pulling away when there's a knock on the door.

"Come in," Santana says keeping her left arm around her wife.

Octavian walks in giving Santana a sad smile.

"How are you doing?" Octavian asks.

"I'm okay especially since Britt cleaned all my wounds. What are you going to do with the guard?" Santana asks.

"He won't say who hired him, but since he told you the attack was for Artie I believe Artie's family is behind it." Octavian says. "I'm going to make an example out of him for attacking the family and then I'm going after the Abrams."

"Thank you daddy," Brittany says getting up and hugging her dad.

"You know I like Santana more than whoever you'd end up with if anything else happened to her." Octavian says.

"Thank you sir and sorry if the kids keep you up." Santana says smirking.

"Shit," Octavian grumbles as much as he likes his grandkids he also likes his sleep.

"No cursing in front of the kids daddy." Brittany sternly says.

"I won't sweetie," Octavian promises kissing the top of her head before leaving.

Brittany lightly shoves Santana down on the bed smirking at her wife. Santana gulps knowing what that look means. She's about to get some.

"Now that I know you're okay you're going to fuck me." Brittany demands.

"Is that so?" Santana questions looking up at her wife.

"Yes, now remove your pants." Brittany orders.

"You're so sexy when you start ordering me around." Santana says managing to kick off her pants and rip off the rest of her shirt.

"Good, cause I want your penis in me now." Brittany says removing her nightdress.

"Oh god," Santana moans as Brittany grabs her and starts jacking her off.

"I want you nice and hard." Brittany whispers in her ear.

Santana moans some more trying hard not to thrust up into Brittany's hand. She closes her eyes as she tries hard not to cum. She grabs Brittany's hand to stop it.

"I love you so much baby." Santana says placing her hands on Brittany's hips pulling her down on her.

Brittany moans as slides down onto Santana. Santana grabs her hips even tighter to stop herself from thrusting up before her wife is ready.

"You feel so good around me baby." Santana moans staring up into her wife's eyes.

"Fuck me," Brittany moans into her ear.

"So beautiful," Santana moans in her ear thrusting up.

Santana flips them over with her remaining strength and starts thrusting hard into her wife.

"Oh fuck San, right there." Brittany harshly groans as she claws at Santana's back.

"Shit," Santana groans as she feels herself getting close.

"I'm going-"

Santana groans as Brittany digs her nails into her back and gushes all over her wife. This causes Santana to let go and spurt strings of cum deep into her wife.

"Amazing," Brittany whispers as Santana rolls off of her.

"So good," Santana says kissing her deeply.

"How are you feeling?" Brittany asks lifting her head up to look at her wife.

"Much better now," Santana says pulling her wife into her left side.

"San," Brittany softly says.

"Yes Britt," Santana says.

"Promise me that you won't leave the palace without a trusted guard. I don't know what I would do without you." Brittany softly says.

"Anything for you baby." Santana says feeling Brittany's breath deepen against her neck.

Santana smiles as her wife falls fast asleep on her left side. Her right side is throbbing, but she's not going to move. She's so thankful that she made it home in one piece and alive to her wife and kids.

"I promise to never leave you baby." Santana whispers.

"Mommy!" Lily shouts jumping up on their bed.

"Hello Lily pad." Santana says pulling her down next to her.

"Sorry to wake you girls up so early, but Julius here is cranky and hungry." Octavia says walking in with Julius in his arms.

"Here give him to me." Brittany says sitting up and holding out her arms.

"I'll leave the four of you to yourselves, I'll tell the chef to bring you up breakfast." Octavia says smiling at the small family.

"Thanks mom," Brittany says smiling at her mom.

"Take care," Octavia says looking at Santana.

"We will," Santana says nodding at her mother-in-law.
