I don't own Glee ©
I'm always an early riser, kind of. Not that I mind, I love the mornings. I love the warm sun and I love hearing the birds chirp. I look down and saw Santana sleeping. Somehow I managed to spoon her instead of her spooning me, not that there's a problem with that. I smiled and lightly pressed my lips against her cheek. I couldn't help but feel so bubbly and happy. I heard what she said last night. She loves me.
And I love her back. I tightened my arms around her and brought her even closer. She makes me so happy and she doesn't even know it. I hummed softly as I felt her squirm. She's gonna wake up soon or fall back asleep. I heard her mumbling something and then she suddenly stopped. She went back to sleep. I chuckled and gave her another peck on the cheek. I wonder if I asked her out, would she say yes? I hope so.
I look at the clock and saw that it was 7:30AM. I guess I should wake her up, but she isn't much of an early riser. I gently shook Santana and smiled as I heard a small whimper coming from her. I continued to gently shake her, but I soon frowned when I saw tears forming.
"San?" I whispered.
Santana was shaking her head against the pillow and I felt her body temperature going up. I saw a few drops of sweat forming and more whimpering came from Santana. I was getting even more worried. I continued to say her name and shaking her arm. After a few seconds, I saw Santana's eyes snapping open. I helped her sit up and I began to rub her back. She was taking deep breaths.
"B-Britt?" She stuttered. She was looking around the room, trying to figure out where she was.
I nodded, "Yeah, it's me. Did you have a bad dream?"
Santana nodded and pulled out her arm. I watched as she lightly felt a small scar on her wrist. I bit my lip, it must be another dream from her military days. I felt so sorry for her. I engulfed her into another hug and I felt her head nuzzling on the crook of my neck.
"Let's get some breakfast." I said.
She groaned and replied, "B, it's so early."
I chuckled and said, "I'll make the food and call you when it's ready."
She nodded and fell back into her sleeping position. I got out of bed and out of our room and into Lizzy's. Once I got inside my girl's room and found her playing with the stuffed animals Santana won for her at the street fair yesterday. I smirked as I approached my daughter with open arms. Lizzy saw me and ran into my hug. I love hugs in the morning.
"Mornin' Mommy!" She greeted as I picked her up.
"Morning baby." I greeted back as we headed towards the kitchen.
I placed my baby on the chair and asked her what she would like for breakfast. I heard her say bacon and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Santana has introduced bacon to my child and soon my baby will probably be meat obsessed like Santana or just obsessed with bacon like Quinn.
"How about some waffles?" I asked. I was feeling a bit sugary this morning, "With bananas and chocolate syrup."
"Yeah!" Lizzy agreed, "Can my waffle have some strawberries too?"
I looked into the fridge and saw things that we needed to make our breakfast. I pulled out some milk and strawberries out of the fridge and grinned at Lizzy. She squealed happily and watched as I began to make the waffle batter. I look over at Lizzy and asked her if she could look for the waffle maker for me. I know Santana has one somewhere.
As I finished up mixing the batter, Lizzy found the waffle maker and plugged it in for me. I kissed her head and told her to watch some TV while I make the food. I watched as she skipped off to the living room area. I sang softly as I poured in the mix into the contraption. I closed the top part and waited.
I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. What Chris said yesterday really affected me. He was seriously thinking of having a custody battle with me over Lizzy? He doesn't even know anything about her. I grumbled angrily as I removed the lid from the maker and took out the waffle. I began to repeat this process a few more times. As I was on my sixth waffle, I was on my iphone looking at potential lawyers to call up. I bit my lip, it's gonna be very expensive.
"Hey Britt-Britt."
I looked up and saw Santana making her way towards me. She looked so cute with her messy hair and her morning sleepy expression. I smiled and greeted her a good morning. She yawned as she leaned against the counter, watching me make the waffles.
"Smells good." She commented.
I grinned, "Of course. I make the best waffles."
Santana laughed, "You sure do."
After a few minutes, I finished making all the waffles. Santana helped set up the table and I called Lizzy over. I began to cut up bananas and strawberries for her while Santana poured the chocolate syrup over Lizzy's waffles. She looked so excited. Once I was done cutting up the fruit, I began to top it onto the waffle. My daughter grinned and said a thank you before digging in.
As I ate, I watched as Santana picked up her waffle and began to tear it. I couldn't help but smile. She always ate her pancakes and waffles like this, tearing it and then dipping it in the syrup. Santana must have sensed my staring since she looked up with a smile.
"You got today off?" She asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, it's Tuesday."
"Awesome."
"You got work?" I asked this time.
She shook her head. Yes! We'll be spending time with each other then, but there isn't much to do since we already did all the sightseeing and such. I hummed as I stuffed more food into my mouth. I guess we could hang out with the Changs. I haven't seen them since the club.
"Do you wanna hang out with Tina and Mike today?" I asked.
Santana shrugged as she grabbed another waffle. I looked over at Lizzy and saw her nodding her head. She grinned and asked, "Is Wallace gonna be there?"
"Wallace?" I heard Santana repeat.
"Wallace is Tina's nephew." I explained, "He sometimes comes over from Chicago during the summer."
"Oh."
"Is he gonna be there, Mommy?" I heard Lizzy ask.
I chuckled and said, "I don't know, sweetie. I have to call them up to see."
"You do that." Santana said, "I'll take care of the dishes."
I look down at my plate and saw that I finished. Weird, I don't remember finishing my food. I shrugged it off and agreed with Santana. I grabbed my phone and dialed Tina's number. I heard ringing for a few seconds, then I smiled when I heard Tina's voice speaking to me.
"Hey Tina!" I greeted.
"Britt? What's up?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out." I asked, "Liz is asking about Wally."
Tina laughed, "You're in luck. Wally is arriving today actually. Mike and I were just going to pick him up."
"That's great!" I exclaimed, "We should go to the Louisiana Boardwalk and then later on get some lunch.
"Sounds great." Tina said happily, "Alright. We have to go get him. We'll see you guys later, Brittany."
"Bye!"
I hung up and smiled. That was really convenient! I looked up and saw Santana finishing up the dishes. I walked up to her and thanked her. She smiled and told me to dance away or something. I shook my head and decided to listen to her. I danced towards the living room and saw Lizzy watching me. I grinned and grabbed my daughter's hand. She giggled as I spun her around twice.
"I'mma dizzy Lizzy!" She exclaimed.
"You sure are baby." I said as I gave her a small peck on the nose.
"All done!" I heard Santana exclaim as she approached us.
I smiled, "Whoop!"
She chuckled and plopped herself on the couch. Such a lazy ass. I picked up my daughter and lightly dropped her upon Santana's lap. An 'oof' was heard from the two of them. I smiled and sat next to Santana who grabbed the TV remote. She turned it on and switched it to some Harry Potter movie. I think it's the fifth one. Not too sure.
"Is Wallace coming?" Lizzy asked as she made her way to sit in between Santana and I.
"Yup." I replied, "They're picking him up now. We're going to meet them at the boardwalk."
"Boardwalk, huh? Which?" Santana asked as she kept her eyes on the movie.
"Louisiana Boardwalk." I said, "You've been there?"
Santana shook her head. "Evans told me it's pretty cool though. He texted me earlier that he and Mercedes are there shopping."
"Oh cool!" I said smiling, "We might see Sam and Mercedes then, right baby?"
Lizzy nodded, "Yup~"
An hour or two later, Brittany got a call from Tina that they picked up her nephew and were already driving to the boardwalk. Brittany nodded and closed her phone. She got up from the couch and told Santana and Lizzy to get ready. Santana huffed and got off the couch while Lizzy ran into her room. Brittany followed Santana to their room and the two began to change.
"What should I wear, San?" Brittany asked as she looked into her closet.
Santana shrugged as she grabbed a pair of black shorts. "Wear a sun dress. You look all kinds of sexy when you do."
Brittany turned to look at the Latina and saw her winking at her. Brittany blushed and decided to go for the sundress look. She saw her favorite baby blue one and headed towards the bathroom to change into.
Santana watched as the blonde walked off. She huffed sadly as she grabbed a gray tank top and a red flannel. Why couldn't Brittany change in here with her? She would love to see that dancer's body all naked. Santana's cheeks turned red at the thought. 'I'm a pervert.'
The dark haired woman then looked at herself in the full-length mirror and she slightly grimaced at her own reflection. 'I look like a stereotypical lesbian…but I look pretty hot though.' Santana then made her way under the bed to find her red flip-flops. As she got up, she turned around and found Brittany standing by the doorway with that cute sundress on.
"Wow…" Santana said dreamily.
Brittany giggled, "Right? This one is my favorite. Kurt picked it out for me."
Santana's eyebrows shot up as she eyed the taller blonde up and down. She unconsciously licked her lips and nodded, "He has great taste."
"Yup. Now let's go! Lizzy is waiting for us by the door." Brittany said as she scurried off.
Santana grabbed her keys and her wallet and made her way towards the door. She found Lizzy in a light green skirt and a pink top. Lizzy was currently standing in front of Brittany while she ties her daughter's hair up into a ponytail. Santana grinned and clasped her hands together, telling the blondes to get in her car.
The three of them made it to a parking lot that held Santana's car and got inside. As Santana started the car, she glanced over at Brittany and saw her trying to figure out how to put the address on the GPS. Santana chuckled and told Brittany to give it to her. She pouted, but listened to the shorter woman. Santana typed in the address the three of them took off.
As they drove, Brittany turned on the radio, much to Santana's dismay. It's not that Santana doesn't like music it's just she can't really focus while two cute girls in her car sang adorably. Almost an hour passed, and Santana had to block all the singing out to focus. She couldn't help but smile as Brittany and Lizzy sang to Bruno Mars. But the singing stopped from the youngest passenger as she saw a sign.
"We're here!" She exclaimed.
Both Santana and Brittany chuckled at the girl's reaction. Santana quickly found a parking space and parked her car. Brittany had to chase Lizzy because her daughter ran off towards the boardwalk. Santana quickly got out of her car as well and followed the two blondes. She smiled when she saw two familiar faces waiting for them.
"Girl Chang and other Asian!" Santana greeted as she approached her friends.
"Santana." Mike greeted with a grin.
"Hey Lopez!" Tina exclaimed as she embraced her friend.
They pulled back and Tina made her way to hug Brittany. When they were done with their hugs, the four adults began to talk about unimportant things while the two kids were talking amongst themselves. Santana looked down and saw the Wallace kid. Well, he defiantly looks Asian so she knows that it's Tina's relative, even though that was pretty racist of her to think like that. But the only difference is that his eyes are lighter and his skin is a bit tanner.
"We should go look around guys." Mike suddenly said.
"Yeah totally!" Brittany said as she suddenly linked pinkies with Santana.
The smaller woman blushed as she looked up at Brittany. The blonde smiled sweetly at Santana before following their friends. Brittany giggled as she saw something really cute. Santana raised a brow while Brittany pointed something in front of them. Santana looked confused and looked. A smirk slowly came upon her lips at what she was seeing. Lizzy and Wallace were holding hands.
"Isn't that cute?" Brittany squealed quietly.
Santana nodded, "Yeah, but isn't she too young to be dating?"
Brittany laughed, "Oh hush. You know they're not into that yet."
"Key word: Yet."
"You know what I mean."
"Oh! Can we go into that store?" Tina suddenly asked.
They looked at what store she was pointing at and to Santana's horror it was a clothing store. Santana felt her pinky being tugged and it seemed that her blonde friend really wanted to go too. Santana then locked eyes with Mike. He had the same expression Santana has on right now.
"Do we have too?" Mike whined.
"Yeah." Santana groaned, "I don't wanna."
"You sound like five year olds." Tina grinned.
"We're three!" They both exclaimed, earning a laugh from their girls.
Suddenly a younger voice spoke up. Everyone looked down to see the two kids, still hand in hand, pointing at a different store. Wallace smiled and asked, "Can we go to that one?"
"Sure!" Tina answered, "Let Uncle Mike and Santana take you two."
"Man…" Santana whined as she followed the two kids and Mike into some store called Build-A-Bear.
"Whoaaa." Lizzy said as they stepped in, "Look at all these stuff toys!"
"Can we get one, Uncle Mike?" The two kids asked.
Mike looked at Santana with eyes that read help. Santana chuckled and answered for the guy. She looked at the kids and said, "Sure, why not?"
"YES!"
"YAY!"
Santana and Mike then watched the kids run off to the animal that they wanted to stuff. Mike huffed in annoyance and said, "Thanks a lot Santana."
She grinned, "No worries. I can pay for the animals and you can pay for the clothes."
"Alright. Fair enough." He replied and walked over to his fiancé's nephew.
Santana casually slid besides Lizzy and watched as the small girl picked out a cat. She then watched as the child got the cat stuffed. She smiled as Lizzy then ran off to the clothing part. Santana followed the kid and helped her pick out her outfit. The blonde child dressed her stuffed animal up like a princess. Lizzy grinned and lifted the stuffed cat towards Santana to kiss it.
"Mwuah." Santana said as she kissed the toy.
Lizzy laughed as the Latina grabbed the girl's hand to pay for the toy. Santana turned around and told Mike to hurry up so he could pay his half. He rolled his eyes as she held onto Wallace's hand. Wallace picked out a stuff penguin with a swanky tuxedo and a baseball cap. Santana commented on how awesome the penguin looked and Wallace grinned in response.
"I like yours Wallace." Lizzy commented as they walked out of the store.
Wallace blushed a bit and smiled, "Yours is pretty."
"Thanks!" Lizzy grinned and grabbed the boy's hand.
Santana smiled as she watched the two kids run towards Brittany and Tina who were outside, each holding one bag. She can see the kids showing their new toys off towards the two women. Santana turned to Mike and saw him grinning at her. She raised an eyebrow, questioning his look.
"You and Brittany together?" He asked as they were slowly making their way towards their women.
Santana frowned and replied, "Not really…"
"Wha? I'm shocked."
"Knock it off, Chang." Santana rolled her eyes, "I…She just got out of a bad relationship."
"With that Chris dude, eh?" Mike asked.
Santana nodded. They approached their girls and saw that they were ready to hit another store with the kids following. Santana and Mike stayed behind them as they kept their conversation to a down low.
"We saw him last night at dinner at this pizza parlor." Santana explained, " He was pissed at Brittany for breaking up with him and his filing a law suit for child care or something."
Mike scowled, "That jackass. He would just abandon Liz once the whole case is done. There's no point in him filing that law suit in the first place."
"Yeah, I know. I just need a good lawyer, but money is kind of tight. I still haven't received my pay check and it's coming next month and Britt is using the money for the rent."
Mike watched as his friend sighed in irritation. He frowned, Santana was right. Lawyers these days are really expensive, unless you personally know a lawyer. Suddenly, Mike's eyes widened in realization. He grinned and nudged Santana.
"Wha..?"
"I know where you can get a lawyer!" Mike said excitedly.
Santana's brows shot up, "Oh really?"
"Your mom!"
"Hardy fucking har, har." Santana scowled, "No need for 'yo mama' jokes."
Mike shook his head, "No stupid. I meant your mom. Isn't she a lawyer for these kind of cases?"
Santana's eyes widened. Of course her mom was. She was one of the best lawyesr back in Lima and sometimes she's even needed in Columbus, Ohio. She grinned and said, "Dude you're right, other Asian."
Mike ignored the nickname and smiled, "You should call her up."
Santana's face suddenly fell when she remembered something. She glanced to her side and watched Brittany and Tina goes inside another store with the kids following them. Santana looked back at Mike and groaned. Mike frowned, didn't he just do a good thing right now?
"Remember what happened years ago?" Santana said, "My parents told the fucking school that I killed myself."
"Oh yeahh…" Mike said, "But things are different now right? I mean she's willing to help since she likes Brittany!"
"I-I don't know…" Santana said nervously, "When I came back home they were asking questions and stuff and I didn't want to deal with them. That's why I'm living here."
"I see." Mike said, "But it's your only option, Santana. Unless you somehow find enough money for a lawyer in a short amount of time."
"Shit." Santana moaned, "I guess you're right, Mike. I-I should give my mom a call tonight."
Mike nodded in approval. He draped his arm on the young Latina and pulled her close into one of those one armed hugs. He smiled and said, "What I've heard back in Lima is that your mom is the one that misses you the most out of your dad and grandma."
"I don't know if I should be happy or what." Santana joked as she pulled away. Her face brightened when she saw Brittany and Tina walking out with Wallace and Lizzy.
"You should ask her out." Mike whispered. Before Santana could even respond, Mike glided over to Tina and wrapped his arms around her. He leaned in and kissed her lovingly on the lips, ignoring comments from Wallace.
Santana bit her lip maybe Mike was right. She should ask Brittany out before it's too late. Suddenly a tug was felt and she turned around to find Brittany smiling along with Lizzy with the same trademark smile. Santana had the urge to do what Mike just did with Tina, but she stopped herself. Santana gave Brittany a small smile and linked pinkies with her.
'I don't know why I can't just ask her out.' She thought as the group went into another store. Santana looked up and saw that they were going to a pet shop. Brittany suddenly let go of Santana's pinky as she and the two kids rushed towards a playpen full of kittens. Santana watched adoringly as Brittany cooed at the felines. 'Am I good enough for her?'
"Santana!" Someone called out, breaking the said girl out of her thoughts.
Santana looked over and saw Brittany waving towards her. Santana quickly made her way towards the tall blonde and saw that she was holding a little chocolate kitten. Santana grimaced; she's not really a big fan of cats. She prefers dogs personally.
"Can we get him?" Brittany asked childishly, "He's soooo cute!"
Santana laughed, "I don't know Britt-Britt… I'll think about it."
Brittany rolled her eyes and continued to play with the kittens. Santana then glanced to the side and saw Tina squealing. The said Asian made her way towards Santana and grabbed her arm, cowering behind the Latina. Santana looked at her questioningly and suddenly looked back up to find Mike grinning madly. Santana then eyed his hands and saw that he has obtained a ferret. What the fuck.
"Tina babe, we should get this!" Mike exclaimed, "He's so cool."
"Absolutely not, Mike." Tina said sternly, she poked her head out from behind and commented, "Those things are gross!"
"I don't know, Girl Chang." Santana said as she moved to the side. She grinned as Tina dashed over to Brittany. Santana laughed and said, "That'll be my wedding gift for ya'll!"
"Don't even think about it, Santana!" Tina cried out.
Eventually the group got hungry and began to look for a restaurant. Mike decided to pick a restaurant called Famous Dave's. Santana's eyes perked when realized what kind of place that is.
"BBQ!" Santana exclaimed and quickly dashed over to the building with Mike trailing behind.
"WHOA!" A voice shouted, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, SNIXX!"
Santana furrowed her brows together and turned around along with everyone else. Her eyes widened and a grin came upon her lips.
"TROUTY MOUTH!"
Sam laughed as he and his girlfriend approached the group. He fist-bumped Santana and high-fived Mike while the girls hugged. Sam draped his arm on Santana's shoulder and exclaimed, "Fancy meeting you all here."
"Same too you!" Mike grinned, "What are you guys doing here anyway?"
Sam smirked, "Mercedes wanted to get these shoes that she has been eyeing on for a while and I kind of bought them for her."
Santana scoffed, "So whipped, Evans."
The blonde male rolled his eyes and exclaimed, "How about we eat?"
The group all agreed with Sam and went inside. They got a table and began to order, once they did Sam began to joke around with Wallace and Lizzy while Mercedes jokily scolds her boyfriend. Santana laughed as Tina told her a story about what she had missed during the years and Mike and Brittany began to talk about dancing. Brittany glances over at Santana and saw her smiling like there's no tomorrow. She sighed happily and continued to stare at the Latina. Mike obviously noticed this and decided to join a different conversation.
'She's so pretty.' Brittany thought as she took a sip from her pop.
Santana turned towards Brittany and caught her staring. Santana stifled a giggle and asked what was wrong. The said blonde blushed and shook her head. Santana smiled and turned around when she smelled something delicious. She sat up and grabbed her knife and fork.
"Finally!" Santana and Sam said together as the waiter gave them their food.
Mercedes shook her head, "Boy, you be obsessing with that stuff ever since you've moved in."
Brittany smiled and added on, "You should have seen their fridge when we moved in. There was sooo much meat. It's really gross."
"So that's why you just randomly gave us meat that one time." Tina thought out loud.
Sam laughed while Santana rolled her eyes. Santana took a bite out her burger and said with a mouth full, "That stuff was delicious, Britt."
"Sweetie, no talking with our mouths full." Brittany said and then plopped a fry in her mouth.
Santana mumbled sorry and quickly swallowed her food. Across from her Sam snickered and commented, "And you said I was whipped, Lopez."
"Hey, how come Puck and Quinn aren't here?" Mercedes suddenly asked when she noticed a family was missing. "Don't you guys always hang out, Britt?"
Brittany nodded, "They went to Chicago to visit Puck's sister. They'll be back by next week."
"Yeah!" Lizzy piped in, "I miss my best friend!"
Wallace frowned, "I thought I was your best friend."
Lizzy turned to the boy and grinned, "You can be my best boy friend!"
The adults sitting at the table cooed at the little conversation and went back to their own. Sam, Mike, and Santana finished their food while the rest of the table were taking their time. Sam eyed something that was behind Santana and grinned. He nudged Mike and told him to look. The Asian male perked up and told Santana to turn around. She did and saw that the guys were looking at a bar.
"Let's get our drinks on." Sam said as he stood up.
"Oh hell to the no." Mercedes quickly said, "You can't!"
Sam smiled and leaned in to kiss his girl, "Don't worry, baby. I won't drink that much."
Santana and Mike also stood up and followed their blonde friend, ignoring protests from Tina and Brittany. Lizzy looked over at her mother and quizzically asked, "Mommy, where's Tana going?'
Brittany sighed and said, "It's happy hour, sweetie."
Wallace pouted, "Uncle Mike and Tana are gonna get milkshakes?"
Tina looked at her nephew with a raised brow, "What?"
Wallace smiled at his aunt and said, "When Papa goes on his happy hour my Mama says he's gonna drink milkshakes cause when ever he comes home he gets all funny and Mama says it's the sugar rush."
Tina facepalmed and muttered something about her brother getting drunk with his friends on the weekend. Mercedes and Brittany smiled amusingly and continued on with their meal.
Meanwhile at the bar, the guys and Santana were already on their third round of beer. The two men were handling their's responsibly while Santana was drinking as if she was dying of thirst. Sam shook his head and patted the Latina's back, telling her to slow down.
"What got your panties in a bunch?" Sam asked as he sipped his beer.
"I need liquid courage to call my mother." She replied sadly.
"Wha—Why?"
Santana looked over at Mike and nodded at him. Mike clicked his tongue and answered, "She needs a lawyer and since she and Britt are tight on money I suggested to call up her mom, but apparently she's a bit nervous."
Sam furrowed his eyebrows together, "But why do you need one? Did you sue someone or something?"
"More like someone is suing Brittany for child custody." Santana said angrily. "Damn ex of hers is trying to get Liz while he damn knows he can't even take good care of her."
Sam scowled, "The Chris guy I've been hearing about? Mercedes says he don't do shit. He's obviously going to lose."
Santana nodded in agreement, "Yeah I know, but what if he gets this really clever ass lawyer and for some miraculous reason he wins."
Mike shook his head, "Impossible. Can't Liz testify as well? She can say how unfit he is as a guardian."
"True." Santana mumbled, "I'm just worried and nervous that's all."
Sam smiled softly and nudged his friend, "Hey man, don't worry. You're gonna win and then live happily ever after with your girlfriend."
Santana groaned. Mike laughed and took a swing at his beer. Sam looked confused and looked at Mike for some clues. Mike ran his fingers through his hair and said, "She didn't even ask Brittany to go out with her yet."
Santana quickly drowned her beer and called the bartender over for a refill. Once she got her refill she quickly finished half of her drink. She slammed her glass on the counter and said, "She won't want to date me."
"Dude, you guys have been having eye sex ever since." Sam suddenly said, " 'Course she'll say yes."
"She rejected me once." Santana exclaimed rather loudly. Her drunk was showing. "S-She'll s-say no and that she'll wanna be friends!"
Mike shook his head as Santana finished her beer again. She was going to call the bartender again, but Sam suddenly lifted her up and tossed her on his shoulder. Santana kicked around, but that seemed to unfaze her blonde comrade. The three of them returned to their table and saw the girls were about to pay. Sam and Mike quickly told them that lunch was on them and they took out their wallets and gave the right amount of cash.
Brittany looked over at Sam and saw Santana passed out. She bit her lip and said, "Already? But it's barely two o'clock."
Sam shrugged. "She has a lot on her mind."
Brittany nodded and said that it's about time for them to leave any way. The children whined and bid farewell with Wallace walking off with his Auntie Tina and Uncle Mike. Sam and Mercedes decided to catch a ride with the two Pierce girls and Santana since they took a cab to the boardwalk. They got to the parking lot and Brittany drove them off to the Samcedes crib.
Once Sam and Mercedes got back home, Brittany turned to drive to their apartment. When they got there, Brittany quickly picked up Santana bridal style and went into their apartment block with Lizzy right besides here. Once they got inside, Brittany told Lizzy to just watch TV while she took care of Santana.
"You need to stop drinking a lot." Brittany muttered as she tucked Santana in bed.
Santana cracked an eye open and mumbled Brittany's name. The said girl sighed and sat on the bed next to the hung-over woman. Brittany brushed some hair off of Santana's face and sternly looked at her. She felt a bit better when she heard Santana squeak in response and a hiccup. Okay, maybe she's a bit tipsy right now.
"Are you m-mad?" Santana asked before another hiccup followed after.
Brittany rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah. I mean you got drunk in the middle of the day so y'know."
"I'm sorry." She mumbled sadly.
Brittany took a deep breath and said, "Sweetie, just don't do that again. Can you tell me why you went off and got drunk? Sam said you have a lot on your mind."
"If..If I tell you, you won't tell Britt, right?"
The blonde stifled a small laugh, yeah too tipsy to not recognize her. She nodded and smiled at the Latina, encouraging her to tell her information that the sober Santana might not want to tell.
"Itssa just…" Santana began with trickles of tears came about, "I love Britt-Britt so much y'know? A-And I wanna like date her and have relationships and boats with her!"
Brittany's face lit up when she heard this, but it fell when Santana began to cry. Santana brought the blanket near her face and continued, "But she might rej-reject me like she did before! A-And that hurted a lot, y'know? And Mami and Papi and Abuela weren't helpin' either so thatssa why I left home!"
Brittany's face softened and she brought her hand up to wipe away the tears, "Oh sweetie…"
"I wanna kiss her face and love her." She mumbled sleepily. "I love her so… so much that it really hurts."
Brittany watched silently as Santana drifted off to sleep. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and watched adoringly at the sleeping figure. She confessed that she loves her, despite it coming from her drunken state. She pressed her lips together as she looked over at the doorway. No sign of her daughter. She then looked back at Santana and leaned in to kiss her pouty lips.
The kiss lasted no more than five seconds. When she pulled back, Brittany licked her lips and stare at the sleeping Latina. She couldn't help but notice how soft those lips of hers were. Brittany was craving for more, but she couldn't. She didn't want the risk of Santana waking up and freaking out. Brittany sighed and stood up, before she could even leave the room she looked back at the figure and smiled.
"I really love you too." She whispered, "I hope you know that, Santana."
