"We should-" Brittany started but was interrupted by Santana screaming from inside.

"OH MY GOD!" They heard Santana scream and they ran back into Santana's apartment in time to hear her say,

"Puck!"

In the doorway to the apartment stood Noah Puckerman. He was wearing his Army uniform and his head was tan and bald. Santana threw herself into his arms while he laughed, everyone else began to gather around him as well.

"Hey there San, you didn't think I would miss Kyle's birthday did ya?" he asked then he saw something that made his eyes bug out of his head as he released Santana.

Brittany knew that he was staring at her and so did everyone else who was there.

"Hi Puck." she said with a smirk.

"Brittany?"

Brittany stood staring at Puck who was standing in the doorway trying to figure out if Brittany was real or not. Everyone was staring at Puck waiting for his reaction. Kyle however had had enough waiting.

"UNCLE NOAH!" he screamed an ran to Puck throwing his little arms around his neck.

"Kyle!" Puck said picking him up and taking his eyes off of Brittany for the first time since he saw her.

Brittany saw Puck put Kyle down and walk over towards her, approaching her slowly as if she were not real and was going to disappear if he got to close.

"Its really me Puck." she said as he finally got to her.

"But you are..." Puck said trailing off, everyone returned to their normal conversations letting Brittany explain herself to the last man in the dark.

"I was never killed Puck, I was shot and almost died but I lived, they put me into witness protection and I just got out of the program and came and found Santana." Brittany said.

Puck stood still for a moment before pulling Brittany in for a bone crushing hug. She smiled and hugged him back for a moment.

"Puck...can't...breath." she said dramatically and her quickly released her.

"Sorry, I just, I can't oh my god Brittany this is nuts!" Puck said, Santana chose that moment to walk over.

"Noah, my parents and Mr. Schue want to talk to you, you and Britt can catch up later okay?"

"Ya okay." Puck mumbled walking off but glancing over his shoulder.

"I think he thinks I'm a ghost." Brittany giggled pulling Santana over to the couch to sit down.

"Hey, we all had that moment!" Santana defended. "So what did Quinn want? Why was she acting that way?"

"She was extremely angry with me." Brittany said tiredly.

"What? Why?" Santana asked sounding appalled.

"She was mad at me for the same reasons that I was mad at me for the past six years." Brittany said.

"Britt..."

"No Santana, I should have found a way to let you know that I was alive, I should have made them let you come with me, I should have done something! I let you go six years thinking that I was dead while I knew the entire time that I was fine and that you were safe." Brittany said she was close to tears.

"Britt, you did what you had to do honey." Santana said, pulling her face up so their eyes met.

"I don't know Quinn was right, I can't believe I let you go that long thinking that I had died and that I had left you all alone, I hate myself for it." Brittany said.

"Brittany no, do not say that! You told me yourself that you tried to get them to let me come with you, you told me that you tried and they said it was too risky. I am glad that you did that and that you are safe now rather than you putting yourself in more danger and have you be gone for good." Santana said running her hand up and down Brittany's back comfortingly. "Now lets go and enjoy the rest of the night, everyone is leaving soon."

"I'm sorry San, I was being stupid." Brittany said standing up and wiping her eyes.

"Brittany Susan Pierce what did I tell you about calling yourself stupid." Santana said a little louder than necessary causing Finn, Mike, and Sam to laugh lightly.

"Sorry." Brittany said with a little giggle before walking over to talk to her mother and father.

Santana watched her walk towards her parents and smiled as she walked over to Puck and hugged him again. She couldn't believe that he was here, he must have done some serious bargaining to get his leave changed so that he could come home for Kyle's birthday.

"How did you get home? You weren't due to be home for a while." Santana asked him.

"Well my unit leader owed me big, I kinda saved his ass a few times over there and I explained to him about you and Kyle and he gave me a five day leave for his birthday. But I am not the one with explaining to do." Puck said with a smirk as he glanced over towards Brittany. "I can't believe that Finn didn't tell me about Britt when I called him to tell him I was coming home."

"Oh so that's where you are staying." Santana said.

"C'mon San, tell me about it! When did she come back, what happened? Does Kyle like her, does she know about Alex?" Puck asked firing questions at Santana quickly.

"Woah there Noah slow down now." Santana laughed. "She came here about a month ago, she called me on the phone and I didn't believe it was her, it was just too weird and then she showed up at my apartment the next day."

"What did you do when you saw her? Tell me you kissed her." Puck said giddily.

"Ha, yes I kissed her and then I hit her a few times and then I cried and yelled at her, then we talked and I kissed her again and ya." Santana said blushing.

"Lopez your blushing." Puck teased.

"Ethnic people don't blush." she fired back.

"Does she know about Alex?" Puck asked again.

"Yes, she knows everything, oh and when Britt and I were meeting Rory for breakfast Alex showed up at the dinner, Rory almost killed her. Then she told me all this stuff about how she didn't know about the rape at all and how she was still in love with me and wanted me back. Then I basically told her to fuck off. Apparently then she met Brittany in the bathroom and told her how she wasn't going to give up on me and how she was gonna get me back and stuff, Britt said she wanted to punch her." Santana said.

"Shoulda let Rory kill her, that bitch has no right." Puck said.

"I know." Santana said and the two fell back into easy conversation.

Across the room Brittany was now talking to Tina and Rachel. She felt someone tugging at her shirt and pulled her attention from the conversation to find it was Kyle. He looked about ready to pass out on the floor from exhaustion. She smiled down at him and he smiled back.

"Britt, I'm tired." he said in a whiny voice.

"Alright baby boy, do you want me to go get Mami or do you want me to put you to bed?" she asked him.

"You please." Kyle said and she picked him up.

"Alright you got it, Tina, Rach, I am gonna go put this little man to bed, I'll be back in a few." Brittany said earning "awwws" from both women as she walked away in the direction of Kyle's bedroom.

Once they got to the room she helped him get into his pajamas and tucked him into his bed. She kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"Goodnight Kyle, I'll see you in the morning buddy." She said and she was about to exit the room when something made her freeze in her tracks.

"G'night Momma." Kyle said.

Brittany's face broke into the widest smile she had ever smiled before as she froze facing Kyle. She felt arms wrap themselves around her from behind.

"Did he just say what I think he said." Santana whispered in her ear.

"I think he did." Brittany whispered back.

"Well I like the sound of that, Momma." Santana said with a wink, taking her hand and leading Brittany back to the party.

What did you guys think? Review?
