Chapter 10- You Belong With Me

"Momma?"

Santana didn't look up from the paperwork she was going over but replied nonetheless. "Yeah, babe?"

"Is Brittany gonna be my mom too?"

That got Santana's attention and she choked on the coffee she had just taken a sip of, paling simultaneously. She gulped and paused for a moment as she tried to decide how to answer. "Do you want her to be your mom?"

Charlotte shrugged as if it was the most simple thing in the world. "I've already got you." Santana released a breath she didn't even realize she had been holding. "But you can get married if you want to. It's legal now. Daddy said that means you're allowed to!"

Santana couldn't help but smile at Charlotte's enthusiasm as she sat across the table from her. Then it dawned on her. "You've been talking to daddy about marriage?"

Charlotte frowned. "Is that what happens when you get married?" Santana nodded. "Then yeah! Daddy said you get to have a big wedding with lots of people and a really big cake and I get to wear a really pretty dress like a princess and then it's for real and ever and then Paul will be my dad too!"

Santana couldn't hide her surprise. "Your dad and Paul are getting married?"

"Uh huh!" Charlotte giggled. "And they have matching rings but I said rings were for girls!"

Santana smirked, both at Charlotte's reaction and about the fact that Dave was apparently engaged. It was about time. Although a warning would have been nice.

"But when you and Brittany get married, can you buy even prettier rings? Like the ones with the rocks?"

Santana laughed, nodding. "I promise."

The doorbell rang and both Santana and Charlotte looked up before Charlotte climbed down from her seat and raced to the door. "Brittany's here!"

She swung the door open and jumped into Brittany's arms, the blonde barely catching her as she tried to balance both the six year old and a few bags of delivery food. "Hi my favorite girl!"

Charlotte giggled, wrapping her arms around Brittany's neck as the blonde balanced her on her hip. Brittany carried her into the kitchen where Santana was waiting, smirking up at the two of them from her seat.

"And hi my other favorite girl." Brittany whispered seductively into Santana's ear before kissing her cheek.

"Mmm… Hi." Santana grinned back, grabbing the back of Brittany's neck before she could pull away and pulling her in for a proper kiss.

Charlotte scrunched up her face and pulled on Brittany's arm to get attention. "Brit-tany…"

Brittany pulled away from Santana's kiss and giggled slightly when she heard Santana groan. "Yeah, kiddo?"

"Can you come watch Tangled with me?"

"Uhh…" Brittany wanted to say yes. She did. But she did have the choice between watching Tangled for the thousandth time or making out with her girlfriend. It wasn't really a hard choice.

Santana grinned, leaning back in her seat to watch how Brittany handled the question. Brittany folded her arms and raised an eyebrow at Santana, earning a snort from the older brunette before she spoke up. "Uh, Charlie, babe, Britt and I are going to eat dinner first, okay?"

"Ugh!" Charlotte groaned dramatically, rolling her eyes. "You just want to kiss!"

Santana smirked while Brittany blushed, and Charlotte threw her hands up even more dramatically. If Santana hadn't given birth to her, she could have sworn Charlotte was actually Rachel's kid.

"You can kiss forever!" Another dramatic groan before Charlotte sighed and dropped her head into her arms. "Momma's gonna buy you a rock ring!"

Both women paled and dropped their mouths simultaneously. Santana eventually composed herself enough to clear her throat and turn to Charlotte. "Go watch tv, okay?"

Charlotte didn't have to be told twice and she giggled as she skipped into the lounge room. Normally, Santana would have mentally slapped herself for giving in to Charlotte so easily but she honestly didn't know what else to do.

She successfully avoided eye contact despite the fact that she knew Brittany was looking at her.

"Santana?"

Brittany looked nervous and caught off guard but she forced a small, tight smile before she bit her lip.

Santana blushed furiously, stumbling over her words. She was normally the most confident person around but now she was freaking out.

"Uh… Dave and Paul, they're engaged. Charlie, she, uh, she's a little excited and she's been watching too many Disney movies with happy endings."

Brittany didn't say anything for a few moments and Santana was certain she was going to leave at any moment. "What's so bad about a happy ending?"

It caught Santana off guard and she looked up shocked, her mouth gapping slightly. Brittany shot her a small, reassuring smirk before making her way into the lounge room to sit with Charlotte.

"So." Brittany smirked as she came to stand beside Santana in the kitchen.

Santana bit back her own smirk, continuing to stack the dishes into the dishwasher. "So."

"A ring, huh?"

Santana bit her lip, not sure what to say. She avoided Brittany's eye contact and continued to clean.

"I'm flattered, I am." Brittany started, knowing they had to talk but also knowing Santana didn't want to. "And one day? You and me? Sure, I can see it." She didn't miss the small smile Santana tried hard to hide. "But we haven't even been on a real date yet."

Santana nodded to let Brittany know that she was listening. Honestly though, she was praying that Charlotte was going to wake up and come interrupt them. Or, you know, anything really.

"I love you, Santana. I do. I always have. And one day, I can definitely see myself in love with you. But we need to slow down, okay? Because if you're already thinking about marriage…" She paused. "Just, uh, you need to give me some time, okay?"

Santana nodded, biting her lip. She gathered all her strength and reluctantly looked up at Brittany, surprised to see the blonde looking back at her as lovingly and kind as always.

"Just so you know, Charlotte was the one who brought up the marriage thing." She smirked mischievously, trying to ease the awkwardness. "So this whole awkward conversation right now?" She signaled between the two of them. "All on her."

"Blaming your six year old daughter." Brittany nodded, smirking as she leaned closer to Santana. "Nice."

"Yeah, well, what are you gonna do." Santana grinned. "Kids say the darndest things."

Brittany grinned amused as she leaned in and kissed Santana. Santana smiled into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Brittany's neck and deepening it.

A/N: Short and definitely a filler chapter but I wanted to get something up while I work on the next (and long might I add) chapter! Please enjoy and review :)
