AUTHOR NOTES: I switched back to a Santana/Brittany point of view instead of using 'I' because right now, it is about both of them, not only about Santana.
Scared of The Future – Chapter Seven: Oh baby…
Six Weeks Later…
Shia and Skye were six weeks old now. They were happy, cooing babies but their mothers… not so much. They were exhausted. Every night, the babies cried every 3-4 hours because they were hungry or needed to be changed. Brittany couldn't stay at home during the day but she had managed to make the principal agree to let Santana stay home for six weeks after the babies' birth. She tried to help Santana with her homework as much as possible but it was quite understandable that they'd rather sleep. Tomorrow, Santana had to go back to school and then they had to leave the babies with a nanny which they were both freaking out about. The babies were awake and Santana and Brittany were sitting on the couch with Skye in Brittany's arms and Shia in Santana's.
"I don't know about that woman. Is she really capable of handling them?" Santana asked, not looking up while talking, she was just looking at Shia's dark green eyes that were looking at her curiously.
"San, she is 38, has 4 kids and has been taking care of children for ages. They'll be fine." Brittany assured her girlfriend. "And these two are angels, aren't they?" She smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead. The girl looked at her mom and then cracked a smile. "Oh my god, babe, she just smiled." Brittany said excited, Santana looked at Skye and saw the smile that faded away a few seconds later.
"Oh, did you hear that Shia? Your big sister just smiled." She told her son who looked at her with a wide-eyed, interested look.
"That was so amazing." Brittany said excited. Skye tried to lift her head a little but failed. It was a cute sight. Shia was calmer than his sister and observed things more than Skye who just did what she thought would be fun.
The bell rung and the babies stiffened in their mothers arms and were on the verge of crying.
"Shh, Skye it's nothing, baby girl." Brittany cooed.
"Don't be scared, Shia, it's just the bell." Santana told her son. "Let's go see who rung it, huh?" She asked him, not expecting an answer. She stood up with the baby in her arms and walked to the door. She opened it and looked into the smiling faces of Sam and Kurt.
"Trouty mouth, Lady Lips, what are you doing here?" She asked them. They rolled their eyes at the nicknames.
"We wanted to see our Godchildren." Kurt said. "And I see they are awake. Hi, Shia." He said in a cute voice. Shia turned his head and looked at him with his green eyes.
"Come in." Santana said, dropping the attitude. She stepped to the side, letting the boys in. Sam smiled at the little boy in his mother's arms.
"Hey, buddy." He greeted him with a grin.
"Don't do an impression like the last time. You'll scare him." Santana told the blonde boy while walking back to the living room with the two guys behind her. She sat back down on the couch, next to her girlfriend. Kurt walked over to Brittany and Skye.
"Hello, princess. You look fabulous." He said to the little girl.
"She just smiled, you know?" A proud Brittany said.
"Really? That's so amazing." Kurt smiled. "Can I hold her?" He asked, sitting next to Brittany.
"Yeah, just mind her head, okay?" Brittany gave her daughter to Skye's Godfather and smiled. They looked cute together. Sam sat next to Santana, a little bit awkward not really knowing what to do.
"If I can't do an impression, can I hold him instead?" He asked Santana.
"Yeah, but don't hurt him." Santana warned.
"He is not the first baby I held, you know?" Sam smiled.
"Well, it's the first Lopez-Pierce baby you held so watch it." She told him. Carefully, she laid her son in Sam's arms. The blond boy grinned.
"Hey, buddy." He smiled at the little baby. Santana grinned. That was pretty cute.
"So, how are you guys?" Kurt asked.
"Tired." The two girls said in union and then smiled at each other.
"How many times do they wake up at night?" Sam asked.
"About 3 or 4 times." Santana answered. "I have to get up every time and actually, Brittany doesn't have to get up with me, she can't do anything but she does anyway." Santana smiled at her girlfriend. Brittany leaned over and kissed her. They smiled at each other.
"Why can't she do anything, holding a bottle isn't that hard right?" Sam asked.
"We don't use bottles and please don't tell me I have to go explain it to you." Santana raised one eyebrow.
"Oh, I get it… You are one lucky fella." He smiled at the baby. Kurt and Brittany laughed while Santana glared at Sam.
"That is disgusting. He is my son…" Santana told Sam who laughed. Shia looked at his Godfather. He kind of knows him. The boys have come to visit every week. He closed his eyes and snuggled a bit closer. Sam smiled so wide it looked a bit painful.
"Finally someone likes you. Our son must have a big heart then." Santana told Sam who didn't even listen to her.
"San, be nice." Brittany told her girlfriend who crossed her arms and sat back.
"You mama is whipped, Skye. Yes, she is. Yes, she is." Kurt cooed to the baby. Brittany giggled and Sam hid his smile, not wanting to upset the Latina.
"I'm not." Santana protested.
"She is." Brittany told Kurt. "But I am to so it's okay."
"Aren't your mommies cute, princess?" Kurt asked the baby who just looked at him.
It was the last hour of the school day and it was time for Glee club. Santana and Brittany walked into the choir room hand in hand while Santana was on the phone.
"You sure she is okay?... I swear, if something happens to her... Okay, okay… Are you sure that's it?... He doesn't have a fever or anything?... Yeah, okay… Bye." Santana sat down on the chair with a sigh while putting her phone in her pocket.
"What did she say?" Brittany asked.
"Skye and Shia are crying every few seconds but she assured me that it's because they miss us. They don't have a fever or anything; they seem just a bit upset because we aren't there." Santana told her girlfriend.
"They'll get used to it, Sanny." Brittany told her girlfriend and laid her arm around her girlfriend's shoulder. She kissed the girl's cheek. Mr. Shue walked into the choir room.
"Alright, guys. I see Santana is back, now we can practice for Sectionals." He said.
They sat through the practice on auto pilot, not really paying much attention. They kept thinking about the kids and if they were fine. When the bell finally rung they jumped to their feet and wanted to run to their car but Mr. Shue stopped them.
"Girls, can I talk to you two?" He asked.
"Fast please, we have things to do." Santana said.
"I understand. You two seemed out of it today, is everything okay?" He asked.
Brittany spoke before Santana did. "Everything is okay; we are just a bit worried about the babies. It's the first time that none of us are there to take care of them. We just called the nanny and she said they were a bit fussy and cried more than normal so, we really want to get home."
"Okay, I understand." Mr. Shue said.
"Bye, Mr. Shue." Brittany said, and together they made their way out of the school building.
Brittany and Santana walked into the house and immediately went to the living room. The nanny wasn't there so they walked to the kitchen where she was cleaning bottles.
"Hello, I just put them to bed." She said. "They were okay, just a bit fussy but they just missed you two. They'll be happy to see you when they wake up."
Soon, they had paid the woman and they were alone again. With a sigh, Santana sat herself down on the couch while Brittany sat next to her.
"I'm so tired." Santana moaned.
"Me to, babe. Me to." Brittany told her girlfriend and kissed her cheek. She was aching to feel close to Santana again. Six weeks there whole life had been about the babies and their relationship had become more like friends again.
"Are you okay?" Santana asked when she saw Brittany was thinking.
"Yeah, I just… I miss you San. I miss us. I love Skye and Shia but I want us to, you know." Brittany told her girlfriend.
"I understand, babe." Santana told the blonde. She laid her hand on Brittany's cheek and kissed her deeply. "I miss us to but we'll be okay. When the babies are two months old and a little bit more used to not having us around all the time, we'll ask my parents to look after them for one night and we'll go out, okay? I'll rent us a hotel room." She said with a wink. Brittany grinned.
"Yeah, that would be great." Brittany said and leaned in, kissing her girlfriend. "I can't wait."
Author Notes: Hi guys, thanks to everyone that is still reading. I'm planning on jumping to the date and then to when the babies or one year old, then two years old… every chapter the kids will age one year. Do you like that idea? Please review. X Silke
