Hi, hi! Sorry for the really late update my life has been the craziest thing the past few months and I have exams soon but after that updates will be more regular!
"San! San! That was the director on the phone! I got a dancing part in the movie!" Brittany squealed running into hers and Santana's room, while the latter was getting changed
Before Santana could even react, Brittany came crashing into her and she fell on the bed.
"Whoa, congratulations baby but some warning would help!" Santana joked lightly.
"Sorry babe, got a little excited, this is such a good start to the New Year!" Brittany beamed, then she looked down curiously. "Why are you naked by the way?"
"Because I was about to get dressed but someone pounced on me." Santana laughed when Brittany pouted and leaned over to kiss her pout away.
"Now let me get dressed and I'll be out in a minute to talk about this new job." Santana smiled.
"Kay." With that Brittany left the room but not before she lightly slapped Santana's bottom with a giggle. Santana rolled her eyes playfully.
"Nooo bwear, you gots to eat!" Rachel said with a frown, why wouldn't her kitty eat?
"Maybe she's not hungry baby." Quinn said softly kneeling down next to Rachel where bears food was.
"Buh mama, you 'ways make me eat!" Rachel protested with a pout.
"That's because you need to eat more than bear." Quinn said with a hint of laughter in her voice, rubbing Rachel's back mainly out of habit.
"No fair." Rachel mumbled under her breath. Quinn heard her and rolled her eyes playfully, placing a kiss the side of Rachel's forehead.
"Right come on missy, its lunch time." Quinn said to Rachel's displeasure.
"Mamaa." Rachel whined.
"Come on, just your sandwich then you're done, okay baby?" Quinn said kindly, holding out her hand and pulling Rachel up. Rachel whined but complied and nearly finished her sandwich.
"Good girl for listening to mama." Quinn said with a soft smile and Rachel beamed up at her. "Now let's go sit down, mommy and mami said they have something to tell us!"
Rachel tilted her head slightly in confusion, causing Quinn to laugh. "It's okay Rachie, they said it's good, I promise."
Quinn got Rachel comfy on the sofa but Rachel seemed to have other ideas and she climbed onto Quinn's lap, cuddles were needed and they would be got!
"Oh hi there snuggle bug!" Quinn cooed and Rachel giggled.
"Cuddas." Rachel cooed, trying to curl up on Quinn's lap but she just couldn't get comfy.
Quinn moved her a little and Rachel managed to tuck her head under Quinn's chin and relax in her arms.
Santana walked over to the couch with a mug of coffee in her hands and Brittany came bouncing out of her room and plonked down in between Quinn and Santana.
"Britt watch my coffee!" Santana yelled, a little louder than she meant to. Brittany sent her an apologetic look but she knew Santana wasn't really mad at her, Rachel on the other hand didn't and she let out a small whimper and hid herself further into Quinn's neck, clutching onto her shirt.
"Hey, hey, its okay, Mami's not mad. She just doesn't want mommy getting hurt because the drinks hot baby." Quinn explained softly and Santana caught on with a frown and moved next to Rachel.
"Sweetheart, look at Mami please." Santana said softly and Rachel slowly turned to look at her. "I'm not mad at mommy, I just don't want anyone to get burnt. You know how we always blow on your food so it's not too hot?" Santana tried to use something Rachel could relate to. "Well it's just like that okay? I'm sorry if I scared you."
Rachel processed this for a moment then crawled off Quinn's lap and onto Santana's, who held her close. "Now we have something to tell you, are you ready?" Santana asked with a hint of excitement in her voice.
Rachel looked up at her with curiosity and nodded, Santana pointed to Brittany, as it was her news, and Rachel looked over at her. "Mommy went for an audition to be on tv and the nice man said I got the part!" Brittany said excitedly and Rachel squealed and clapped, pouncing onto Brittany. She wasn't really too sure what had happened but everyone else seemed excited.
"Mommy be on dere?" Rachel asked, pointing to the TV.
Brittany nodded. "Yes mommy's going to be dancing." She added and Rachel looked at her in awe.
"Mommy guh dancer!" She said sweetly and Brittany squeezed her lightly.
"Why thank you my angel!" She cooed.
Quinn leaned over and planted a friendly kiss to Brittany's cheek with a smile. "Well done britt, I'm so proud of you." She said genuinely and Brittany sent her a warm smile back.
Santana looked up abruptly from her lap top when she head Rachel scream and burst into tears, she rushed over to her where she was playing a few feet away from her and scooped the crying girl up.
"What happened baby?" She asked worriedly.
"Bwear swatched me!" Rachel cried out, holding out her arm as Quinn came rushing out her room in just a towel.
"What happened, I heard a scream?" She said as if she had just run a marathon, which caused Santana to stifle a laugh.
"Mama bwear swatch me!" Rachel cried out, a little over dramatically but she was only three.
"Oh no my baby, should mama and Mami kiss it better?" Quinn said and Rachel gave a tearful nod, holding out her arm with a few little scratches on it.
Santana softly kissed it, followed by Quinn and Rachel started to calm down but she was still crying a fair amount.
"There all better!" Quinn smiled, holding up her towel which was about to fall.
"Momma kisses are magic." Santana staged whispered into Rachel's ear.
Rachel looked at Santana in shock, her tears finally subsiding, then she glanced down at her arm, well it didn't hurt so much anymore!
"Magic." She repeated in awe as she rested her head on Santana's shoulder with just a few sniffles.
Quinn suddenly realised that her towel was slipping a bit and so did Rachel. With a cheeky giggle, Rachel tugged on Quinn's towel a little exposing her chest. Quinn gasped and scrambled to cover herself up while Rachel and Santana were uncontrollably giggling.
"Mama nakie!" Rachel squealed, causing Quinn to shoot them a glare.
"Rachie no pulling towels please, that's naughty." Quinn said not unkindly but enough to make Rachel stop laughing and look at her seriously.
"Sorry mama." Rachel pouted.
"That's okay baby." Quinn smiled, placing a kiss to Rachel's cheek. Meanwhile Santana was trying to hold back her laughter at Quinn's embarrassment but she wasn't fairing too well.
Quinn just rolled her eyes and sorted her towel out as she walked back into her room and closed the door causing Rachel's eyes to well up with tears, this immediately stopped Santana laughing.
"What with the tears Rachie?" Santana cooed softly, bouncing Rachel on her hip a little.
"Mama mad ah me." Rachel whimpered, pointing to the door to Quinn's room.
"No mamas not mad at you sweetie, she just doesn't like being embarrassed." Santana said with a slight smirk.
"Buh she c'ose door." Rachel said sadly and Santana kissed the side of her forehead softly.
"She's just getting dressed my love, would you like to go and see her because I know she's not mad at you but we can ask her if you like?" Santana asked softly and Rachel gave a tearful nod.
Santana walked towards Quinn's door, with Rachel on her hip and she knocked gently. "Hold on I'm nearly dressed." Quinn called from the other side of the door.
"Okay, open up when you're done." Santana said as she felt Rachel hide in her shoulder and a quiet sniffle was heard. She was just a little confused and she thought her mama was really mad at her!
"It's okay baby, mamas not mad I promise." Santana said kindly.
A few moments later Quinn opened her door and notice that Rachel was on the verge of tears. "Oh baby, what's wrong?" She asked softly, caressing Rachel's cheek.
"Mama mad." Rachel sniffled out and Quinn gave her a confused look.
"Mamas not mad sweetheart, why would I be mad?" She asked as Santana handed Rachel over to Quinn as her arm was starting to ache.
"Mami tay I 'barrassed you." Rachel all but whispered out.
"Oh no baby, I'm not mad at you, it was pretty funny, mama's just having a bit of a stressful day. Can you forgive me?" Quinn asked sweetly and Rachel nodded vigorously.
"Why mama 't'essed?" Rachel asked innocently and Quinn sat down on the bed with Rachel on her lap.
"Mamas just got a few things to sort out at the moment but it's nothing you need to worry about, okay my love?" Quinn said kindly as Santana joined them on the bed and shot Quinn a confused look.
Quinn just mouthed 'therapy tomorrow' at her and she understood straight away. They would have to prepare Rachel tomorrow morning for her first therapy session that afternoon because they didn't want to tell her the day before as she might not sleep.
Rachel just snuggled further into Quinn and tried to find her heart beat as it made her feel safe and relaxed. Both girls noticed Rachel getting herself worked up and Quinn moved them around so she was propped up against the pillows on the bed and Rachel was almost on top of her with her head on Quinn's chest.
"Is that more comfy baby?" Quinn asked softly and she felt Rachel nod. "Do you just want to cuddle for a little bit?" She asked with a smile and Rachel simply just cuddled further into her as an answer.
Santana smiled at the pair of them and kissed both their foreheads. "Right you lazy bones, I'm going to the store, then I'm going to make us some dinner and mommy should be home soon. Any requests?"
"Baba!" Rachel grinned up her and Santana shook her head with a breathy laugh.
"Nice try baby but baba is for after dinner." Santana said lightly and Rachel pouted. "Q, any requests?"
Quinn looked up from the mass of brown hair that was covering her face. "I fancy pizza." She said simply.
"Pizza it is!" Santana said walking out of the room and grabbing her keys and coat.
Rachel whined and hid her face against Quinn's chest. "Hey grumpy, I think it's time for a nap." Quinn said softly, running her hands though Rachel's hair.
"No nap!" Rachel said defiantly moving away from Quinn and sitting up.
"Yes nap, come on then we can have dinner and you can play or we can watch a movie if you like?" Quinn asked kindly.
Rachel shook her head not really processing what her mama was saying, she was too tired and grumpy. "Binky." She whimpered out, after looking around and not seeing any.
"Mama will get binky and boo and we're gonna just lay down and sleep for a little bit." Quinn kept her tone soft, seeing how cranky Rachel was getting as she was a little late for her nap.
Rachel just whimpered softly and Quinn kissed her forehead and pulled her into a hug. "I know baby, you'll feel better after a little nap." She cooed and she felt Rachel relax in her arms.
Quinn went into the lounge to grab Rachel's rag and a pacifier. When she went back in, Rachel was curled up on the end of the bed, she looked so small and vulnerable and Quinn just wanted to protect her from the world.
"Shall we get comfy at the other end baby?" Quinn asked softly, rubbing Rachel's back a little.
Rachel simply shook her head and Quinn frowned. "It will be much warmer and cozy there." She said encouragingly.
"Dis bah girl's s'eep." Rachel said, lisping slightly and looking at Quinn with sad eyes.
"Then you, my baby, shouldn't sleep there because you're certainly not a bad girl." Quinn said sincerely.
"I bah girl." Rachel whispered with tears forming in her eyes.
Quinn gently moved some hair out of Rachel's face and caressed her cheek. "Well, me, mami and mommy don't think you're a bad girl. You're a very good girl sweetheart." She cooed softly.
Rachel let out a quiet whimper Quinn almost didn't hear it. "So will you come up here and cuddle with mama, it's a bit lonely without my snuggle bug." She said with a warm smile as she opened up the duvet and patted for Rachel to come and join her.
Rachel looked up at Quinn and slowly made her way up the bed. She got under the covers with Quinn who held her close. "There's my baby." Quinn whispered and Rachel just snuggled further into her mama, this was much better.
"Mama." Rachel whimpered, making grabbing motions.
It took Quinn a while to catch on. "Can you use your words please baby?" She said softly.
"Binky p'ease." Rachel said softly, causing Quinn to smile as she reached over a grabbed Rachel's pacifier. Rachel opened her mouth slightly and Quinn popped it in and held Rachel close to her.
It wasn't long before Rachel had fallen asleep after Quinn singing quietly to her and gently caressing her cheek.
Quinn slipped out of the bed and left the door ajar so she could still hear Rachel and she got to work on her computer to finish some course work.
About half an hour later Brittany came through the door and Quinn quickly silenced her and pointed to her bedroom door and Brittany caught on and nodded.
"She's still napping?" Brittany whispered as Rachel was usually awake at this time.
"Yeah she had a late nap, because she slept in this morning but she was getting grumpy." Quinn said quietly as Brittany hugged her from behind as she was on her computer.
"We'll have to wake her before dinner or she won't want to eat." Brittany said peeking her head into Quinn's room to see if Rachel was okay. She was fast asleep with her pink rag bunched up in her hand and her pacifier had fallen out. Brittany quickly put it back in and placed a light kiss to her forehead before leaving the room.
"Is she okay?" Quinn asked, looking away from her computer.
"Yes she's still fast asleep. Where's San?" Brittany said looking around.
"She went to the store to get pizzas, she should be back soon." Quinn replied just as her phone buzzed, signalling she had a text. "It's from Shelby."
Hi Quinn, hope you are all well. Just wanted to check in on Rachel and make sure you're still okay for therapy tomorrow? Love Shelby x
"I'm so nervous." Quinn admitted after reading the text out loud to Brittany.
"Why? You're going to be there with her the whole time." Brittany said putting her hand on Quinn's shoulder.
"I know but I have a feeling she's going to freak out when we tell her." Quinn sighed.
"And if she does we will deal with it, just like every other time." Brittany said simply and Quinn smiled. She loved how good Brittany was at putting everything into perspective.
Quinn sighed and turned back to her computer and a few moments later Santana came through the door with some grocery shopping.
She was engulfed in a hug and a rather long kiss on the lips from Brittany. "Hey babe!" Santana beamed pulling out of the kiss.
"Hey baby, I missed you." Brittany smiled shyly.
"I missed you too, you know I always do." Santana said sincerely, kissing Brittany lightly on the lips again.
Quinn jokingly cleared her throat and Santana rolled her eyes and walked over to Quinn. "Can I help?" She joked sarcastically.
"Yes, I'll start dinner and you can wake Rachie up." Quinn smirked.
"Oh nununu no." Santana said quickly. "I got dinner, I get to make it. Plus we all know you waking her up is a much better idea." Even though Santana wanted out of waking Rachel up because she wasn't the easiest person to wake up, it was true that she would wake up better for Quinn.
Quinn huffed and got up. "Fine." She said as she walked towards her room and pulled the door to behind her.
"Rachiee." She cooed softly getting in behind Rachel on the bed. "Baby girl, it's time to wake up." She whispered rubbing Rachel's back.
Rachel whined and tucked herself further into the covers. "Come on sweetheart dinner will be ready soon." Quinn said calmly, moving the hair from Rachel's face.
"S'eep." Rachel whimpered, turning around and tucking herself into her mama.
Honestly, first she didn't want to sleep now she doesn't want to get up! Quinn thought.
"I know you're tired baby but just a little dinner, then bath and then bed time okay?" Quinn said kindly, unfortunately Rachel was having none of it.
"No mama." She whimpered out, wiggling to get closer to Quinn.
Quinn placed a few light kisses to Rachel's forehead and just held her for a few minutes, making sure she was waking up not falling back to sleep. "Is your diaper wet baby?"
Rachel shook her head no but Quinn discreetly reached down to check anyway and found that her diaper was in fact wet. "Mama's just going to change you and we can cuddle on the sofa until dinner is ready."
"No!" Rachel said with a little kick of her leg moving away from Quinn slightly.
"Rachie you don't talk to mama or anyone in that tone please." Quinn scolded lightly and Rachel just started getting herself more worked up as Quinn got a diaper and some wipes out.
"No tange mama I dry." Rachel whimpered out, tears building in her eyes.
"Baby I just felt your diaper and you're not." Quinn said softly, sitting next to Rachel and leaning over to pet her hair.
"No, no, dry." Rachel shook her head as her tears started to escape and ran down her cheeks.
"Hey there, what's the matter sweetheart? It's only mama." Quinn cooed.
"No, no, no!" Rachel cried out getting extremely worked up. Quinn really couldn't figure out why.
"Okay baby, calm down please. You're okay and you're very safe, let's just relax." Quinn placed a kiss to Rachel's forehead and caressed her cheek while cooing calming words to her.
Rachel began to calm down and once her breathing was under control Quinn picked up her pacifier that had fell out. "Do you want your binky baby?"
Rachel nodded and opened her mouth and Quinn put it in for her and Rachel noticeably relaxed. She still looked confused and scared.
"It a'cident mama." Rachel lisped out behind her pacifier.
"I know baby, mama's not mad at all I just don't want you getting a rash." Quinn said softly. "Lay down, I'll be real quick, mama promises."
Rachel did as she was asked and laid down on the bed. With only a little bit of fussing, Quinn managed to clean Rachel up and get her comfy on the sofa to relax before dinner.
"Mommy!" Rachel crowed as she spotted Brittany, who came out of her room after getting showered and changed.
"Baby!" Brittany copied as Rachel held her arms out to be picked up. Brittany happily obliged and Rachel hid her face in Brittany's chest.
"Mommy seep p'ease, no food." Rachel said softly, pointing to Quinn's room. Brittany shook her head causing Rachel to pout.
Brittany bounced her a little as she walked around the lounge and towards the kitchen to see Santana making salad.
"Hey." Brittany said softly and Santana spun around with a smile.
"Oh look it's two of my beautiful girls!" Santana cooed, kissing Rachel's cheek.
Rachel blushed and hid her face in Brittany's chest and Brittany cupped her head with a smile.
"Dinner is almost ready can you make drinks B?" Brittany nodded and went to made three glasses of water and one in a plastic cup for Rachel.
When they sat down for dinner Rachel seemed calm but she was still a little still a little grumpy even after her nap but the three girls figured a good night's sleep would help.
They all managed to eat dinner relatively peacefully with only one near spillage from Rachel but Brittany got her a bottle to put her water in instead and all was well.
"Come one then Rachie, Mami and mommy are going bath you and then we can all get cozy and cuddle." Santana bribed, knowing Rachel would be more willing to get in the bath if she could snuggle with her mommies after and sleep.
She tiredly toddled towards Santana and looked over her shoulder at Quinn and held her hand out.
"Mama's going to rest for a bit baby and set up a film for us to watch." Santana explained softly and Rachel pouted and toddled back over to her mama.
"Mama I go baf, I be quick tay." With that Rachel sleepily walked off towards the bathroom. Quinn smiled and laughed softly and a giggle was heard from Brittany at Rachel's sleepy state.
Once the bath was ran Santana undressed Rachel and Brittany helped her in the bath. Rachel relaxed in the warm water and rested her head on the side of the bath.
Brittany gently tied Rachel's hair up then cupped her cheek, using the back of her thumb to caress it softly. "Tired bunny." She cooed causing Rachel to pout and look rather sorry for herself. "You can just relax my love."
Santana watched from just behind Brittany where she was getting a towel ready to wrap Rachel in. She could feel her heart swelling, watching Brittany look after Rachel and pictured what it would be like when they have a baby of their own in the future.
Brittany turned around to see Santana tearing up and she walked over to her while Rachel was occupied with a little rubber duck.
"San?" Brittany asked with concern.
Santana quickly waved her off and wiped her tears away. "Sorry Britt, it's just watching you look after Rachel, it's-it's just-"
Brittany engulfed her in a hug, as she didn't seem to be able to form a sentence, and rubbed her back softly. Rachel noticed her Mami looked upset so she made a little noise of protest from the bath to see what all the fuss was about.
"Mami c'y?" Rachel asked softly, after they pulled out the hug.
"Mami's just being overly emotional today baby." Brittany joked, which earned her a weak punch to the arm.
Rachel made a grabbing motion towards Santana who quickly walked over and bent down to Rachel's level. Rachel wiped the tears away from Santana's cheeks, she had wet hands so it didn't really do a lot but it was a sweet gesture and one that Santana appreciated.
"Thank you sweetheart." Santana cooed softly, placing a light kiss to Rachel's forehead, then wiping her face free of water.
She began to wash the half asleep toddler, who was definitely getting more and more fussy, making whimpering noises and at one point she tried to get out the bath but Brittany gently and calmly sat her back down.
Once they were done Brittany wrapped Rachel in a towel and carried her bridal style to Quinn's bed, drying her off before laying her down on the bed and putting a clean diaper on.
Rachel wriggled a little but she was too tired to make any more protests and by the time she was dress, Rachel had fallen sleep so Brittany and Santana tucked her in under the cover and kissed her goodnight before leaving the room.
Quinn was relaxing in the lounge, glad to get a little time to herself. She loved looking after little Rachie but some down time was nice every once and a while.
"Everything alright?" Quinn asked once Santana had closed the bedroom door.
"Yeah, a little fussy while we were bathing her but she fell asleep when Britt was putting her diaper on." Santana explained and Quinn smiled.
"You're a very good Mami." Quinn said kissing Santana's cheek. Santana tried to hide her smile but it didn't work and Quinn swore she even saw her blush.
"Thanks, you too Q." It was a rare sentimental moment that the girls had and it didn't last long but it meant a lot to both of them.
"Well I'm off to bed because no doubt I'll be up at whatever hours of the morning because she didn't have a baba tonight." Quinn said lightly, she didn't mind really but some sleep would be good.
"I'll pre make some and put them in the fridge so you just have to warm it up." Santana offered. Quinn smiled and gave her a brief hug before saying goodnight to Brittany who was getting into bed herself.
The blonde creeped into her room, so she didn't wake Rachel up but she wasn't too good at being quiet, apparently.
"Mama?" Rachel mumbled confusedly, half asleep.
"Shh baby, it's sleepy time." Quinn cooed, rubbing Rachel's back.
Rachel wasn't really with it and she mumbled something incoherent and curled up into Quinn, before falling straight back to sleep. She was soon joined by Quinn in the land of dreams.
Quinn was woken up by Rachel wiggling and fussing next to her. She slowly turned around, as to not startle Rachel, and opened her eyes.
"Rachie?" Quinn cooed, as softly as she could. Rachel replied with a big pout and wiggled around, then hid herself in her mama.
"Does mama need to change your diaper baby?" Quinn asked, with sleep hazing her voice.
Rachel gave a small nod and turned on her front to let her mama get up. Quinn stumbled around for a diaper and wipes as it was dark and she was still half asleep, but who could blame her it was four in the morning. Quinn internally groaned.
"Mama hung'y." Rachel said, clearly waking up a lot quicker than Quinn was. Quinn quickly taped up the clean diaper then threw the used one away.
"Would you like a baba sweetheart?" Quinn asked trying hard to wake herself up.
"P'ease mama." Rachel said reaching out to hold Quinn's hand. Quinn smiled and caressed the back of Rachel's hand with her thumb, then pulled it up and kissed the back of it.
Rachel let out a small giggle and tucked herself under the covers again for warmth.
Quinn stumbled out of the room and turned on the light so she could see what she was doing in the kitchen area. She found the pre-made bottles in the fridge. God bless Santana's ability to think ahead.
Once the bottle was warmed up, Quinn returned to her room and propped herself up on some pillows causing Rachel to quickly move onto her lap facing sideways. Quinn wrapped a big fluffy blanket over them and Rachel impatiently helped her lead the bottle to her mouth.
Rachel suckled happily and turned the bottle into Quinn's chest. Quinn noticed that she did that a lot with her, it was cute and it seemed to bring Rachie lots of comfort so there was no harm.
Quinn had fallen asleep while Rachel was still having her bottle and once she was finished, Rachel looked up at her mama and realised she was asleep! Rachel was actually getting sleepy again after her bottle. She rolled off Quinn's lap and tugged her so she was lying down and Quinn seemed to still be half with it so she moved herself and Rachel curled up against her.
There's nothing better than mama snuggas.
