CHAPTER 10: TRIP TO LA:
Exactly one week later the entire Lopez clan was headed to the airport in support of Santana's performance on Ellen. Her new single was set to drop next week and she let Ellen have first dibs. They were sitting there in the terminal waiting to load the plane when Valerie tugged on Brittany's hand "Mommy is this my first time on an airplane?" "Um, no. No it's not baby." Valerie tugged on her hand again "When was I on a plane before I don't remembers?" Santana took it from there, "Valerie you flew on an airplane when you were a very little baby. You were with Mommy and I. We brought you to New York all the way from Africa." Santana swallowed thickly. They hadn't ever discussed that Valerie and Buzz were adopted, although they for sure knew it would someday register with the children. "Do I get to sit by the window?" Val asked. "Yes, we are flying first class, because nothing but the best for Ma and her crew so you can sit on my lap at the window seat." Brittany responded. "That didn't go at all like I thought." Santana whispered to her wife as they loaded the airplane. "Is this Buzzy's second flight too? Did he come from Erika like me?" "Africa honey, and yes, he did and yes this is his second flight just like you." "That's cuz we the same, we brother and sister." Valerie stated. "Yes honey, always have been always will be and so will anyone else who is to ever join our family." Santana tried to skirt that in casually. "OKAY lets all sit down and eat a snack huh!" Brittany elbowed her wife in the ribs and started to pass out apple slices to the kids as the plane loaded up and took off.
They landed in LA and went straight to the condo Santana had rented them for the week. It was a nice cozy place with two bedrooms, a pool and heavy security. Santana took no chances when it came to her babies she was always prepared with security and some kind of backup plan, Mama Bear that was what Brittany always called her. Ever since the talk of the new single the paparazzi had begun to swarm again. Buzz wasted no time in placing all his stuffed dinosaurs in the living room and Valerie changed instantly into her Princess Ariel (Will Little Mermaid ever not be a favorite?) swimsuit ready to tackle the pool. Santana had rehearsals all day tomorrow but today was free to unwind with her family. She made Brittany go lay down and rest while she changed into her swimsuit and took her children into the pool. Tiring them out was her mission. They swam laps together, and played marco pollo, well best to their ability Buzzy and Val didn't understand the whole close your eyes aspect of the game. After 2 hours of swimming and some snacks outside both the kids had fallen asleep in the living room on the couch for their naps, Valerie clutching onto her cheerios blanket and Buzzy spread out like a starfish with his thumb in his mouth. Santana took a quick pic of them sleeping and posted it on the twitter then crept upstairs to the bedroom where she found her very beautiful very tired wife sleeping. "Hey Britts did you eat something? You need to eat remember what the doctor said 6 small meals all day." Santana moved her hair out of her face kissing her cheeks softly. "Don't tell me what to do" Brittany murmured into the pillow as she rolled over and grabbed Santana's hands placing her hands on her slightly rounded stomach. "I think she hates flying, I feel SOOOO sick." "Oh Babe why didn't you say anything I would've gotten you some crackers and ginger ale." "No you were having a blast with our kids, I heard you guys laughing. Nothing makes me happier than those sounds." Santana leaned in and kissed her wife. "Okay well the tornado twins are sleeping for at least 2 hours I was gonna suggest some sexy times but clearly that's not the best idea." Santana almost pouted, she was really in the mood. "NOPE you're not touching me today babes. My boobs are on fire and I feel so bloated the idea of you even coming near me makes me wanna scream." Brittany cringed as she scooted further away from her wife on the bed. "Well you're gorgeous and wonderful but affirmative Mrs. Lopez." Santana replied leaning in to kiss Brittany's forehead before heading back downstairs to make her baby mama a snack.
Santana's episode of Ellen was currently being taped and was set to air in the following week for premier week. She had been on Ellen before, so they were familiar with each other, and Ellen was always so excited to see the kids. Santana was seated on the famous couch as Ellen sat in her chair interviewing her, they had already discussed the song and how all proceeds will be going to Unicef and to a very special orphanage in Africa. "Speaking of Africa, I know you and your wife have adopted from there. You have two of possibly the cutest kids on this planet. I follow your twitter Santana and I have to say I love keeping up with your little Valerie's shenanigans." Santana rolled her eyes and smiled, "yeah she's hell on wheels. She's only 5 look out world, right?" "I mean last month when she flooded your barn because she wanted to see if your horses could swim, the photo of you and Brittany cleaning it all up was hilarious. How do you even handle that kind of situation?"
The picture screen on the TV of Brittany and Santana covered head to toe in mud sweeping away water with the caption "Toddlers Man." From Santana's famous twitter.
"Well the horse situation was very strange and disgusting. She had seen Pipi Longstocking recently and saw that the horse in that movie could swim so you know….." "So she what just used the hose?" Ellen was so into this story. "Yes she and her partner in crime, our friends Blaine and Kurt's son Elton, loaded buckets and buckets up with water making about 3 inches of standing water in the barn before my wife and I noticed them waddling back and forth and all the chaos and stopped them. As you can imagine mud for days." Santana finished getting a large laugh from the audience and Ellen. "How does on even handle that kind of situation?" Ellen sipped her water trying to calm herself down from laughing so hard. "It's getting harder I will admit. As she gets older she finds more things to get into. Choices have consequences is Brittany's favorite phrase to say to the kids. We do well with timeout and grounding and taking away her favorite items when she misbehaves." "You are doing it right Lopez." They hugged and Santana waved by to the audience and left stage.
She went back to the green room where her wife and kids sat waiting for her. "Ma you so good I sawed you on TV!" Buzzy was buzzing. "Thanks buddy I'm a pro at this by now though it's all super easy." She kissed Buzz's head as she lifted him up to sit on her hip while she took a sip of her diet coke. "AH NO!" Brittany smacked Santana's hand and took the soda out of her hand. "You have to sing in 10 minutes no carbonation it'll make you raspy." "Always looking out for my cords babe." Santana blew her a kiss and placed Buzzy back down onto the floor. He ran over to where Valerie was sitting looking through the photo album sitting on Ellen's green room coffee table. "Look Ma, Miss Ellen knows Auntie Cedes too!" Santana walked over and leaned to look at the book, "Isnt that cool. Miss Ellen is super nice and everyone loves her so everyone comes to visit her." Brittany winked at her as she blew kisses everyone and left to go sing her song. "Ma is going to sing so sit down and be sure your listening super careful so we can tell her how good or bad she did." Valerie said so matter of fact to her brother and mother. "VALERIE!" "What!?" Brittany just rolled her eyes. "Remember nice and kind words all the time missy!"
Once they were back to the condo the kids were being fed lunch while Santana hopped in the shower to wash off all the intense hairspray and makeup that was applied to her for the television. Brittany sat down at the table and put her head in her hands to hopefully grab a few minutes of rest with no luck as Buzz threw a piece of his sandwich at her. "Mommy, you supposed to eat all the times. Ma says!" "Thank you bud, you're right mmmmm look" she took a giant bite of the turkey and cheese and gagged a little but held it down like a pro. "Mommy how comes Auntie Quinn or Auntie Tina haven't been on Ellen like Ma, Auntie Cedes and Auntie Rachel?" Valerie and her questions. Brittany took a breath and centered herself, "Well sweetie that's because not everyone is famous like your Ma, Auntie Rachel and Aunt Meredes. Auntie Quinn why her job is important she isn't famous, she is a lawyer. And Auntie Tina isn't famous but she does write a lot of really good movies we have all seen and loved." Brittany tried her best to explain. "Why aren't you on Ellen Mommy? You can dance really really good we sawd you dancing with Auntie Cedes on the big big stage with all the lights." Valerie threw yet another question at her Mom. "Yes I am a dancer and I worked a lot with your Auntie Cedes and Miss Beyonce but not everyone notices me they are paying more attention to the beautiful singers baby." "I'll always notice Mommy, you're the prettiest dancer I know." Valerie said. While one second she can be so sour in a blink of an eye can also be the sweetest ever. Brittany got up and kissed her little girls head, "Thanks Val".
