The party was the best kind of distraction even though Brittany had gotten sick twice. But being around family really helped her through the day. Santana had text her a couple of times to check on her which made her smile." You ready to go home Brittany?" her mother asked coming into the living room." Yes just let me say-" before she could finish Lena jumped on her lap making her fall back on the couch. Her mother gasp causing Mandy to rush in the living room to see what the commotion was all about " Lena Nichole Trevor get off your aunt this instance." Lena did what she was told but gave her aunt's waist a squeeze. Leaning over Brittany gave Lena a kiss on the forehead before whispering in the girl's ear. Lena smiled widely at what her aunt just told her as she turned to her mother "can I go stay the weekend with aunt Brittany and aunt Santana?" Mandy nodded "Go ask your father goof?" Lena screamed as she went to find her father." You sure you and Santana will be able to keep up with a loud obnoxious eight year old?" Mandy asked laughing at her sister's funny expression watching her daughter runs out of the room in a frenzy. "Yes, this is going to be a blast. We are going to have to get use to noise around the house now." Mandy as did her mother nodded in agreement. "I will pick her up around six tomorrow if Matt says yes. Thank you for today Mandy i needed some laughs." Mandy gave her sister a hug before giving her step mother a hug. Lena was back in the living room dancing around with a big smile plastered on her face. "And the verdict is?" Brittany asked already knowing the answer by the look on Lena's face. "Yes and yes." she answered proudly. Brittany gave Lena a high five than followed her mother out of the house.
"Santana!" Brittany called out as she walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. Her mother had left after helping her up the drive way even though she protested the whole way. She had said she was sore from throwing up and her mother wanted to rush her to the hospital. The only reason her mother didn't take her straight there was because Brittany was a nurse." Growing pains mom." even though it was too early for her to be stretching Brittany had to ease her mother's concern before she called the whole family. Brittany headed upstairs hoping her wife was home she hadn't checked the garage to see if her car was there or not. But when she reached their room she was a hundred percent sure Santana was still gone sending a quick text to the Latina Brittany lay down on their bed. It didn't take long for sleep to overtake her body.
A sudden crash of thunder woke Brittany up. It took her a moment to realize it was storming pretty hard outside and she was in her Brittany searched for her wife but found the bed empty besides her. Reaching for her cell that somehow made its way to the side table she had twenty missed calls ten from Santana, ten from her mom. Frowning she couldn't believe she slept through all these calls. She also had a load of text messages but she only wanted to speak to one person at the moment. Dialing Santana's number Santana answered right after the first ring" Hey Hun." Santana greeted in an almost whisper like voice. Brittany could tell something was wrong instantly. "What is wrong Santana?" Brittany demanded to know. Suddenly Sam was on the phone talking." Brittany don't freak out Santana is ok just a sprained ankle. She got hit by a bicycle. The woman wasn't paying attention but don't tell her I told you that it might hurt her pride." Sam explained before he as did some other people in the back ground started to laugh." Sam what hospital? I am on my way." "Brittany don't worry about it they just took her to get some crutches than we will be on our way." Brittany felt like the worse wife ever at this moment she should be right there beside her wife's side." Brittany don't blame yourself for not being here trust me Santana has been her delightful self the whole three hours we been here." suddenly Santana's voice came through the other end of the phone." Baby I am sure Sam told you what happened. I am fine baby trust me. Can't wait to get home to cuddle with you they gave me some good pain medicine baby." Brittany rolled her eyes laughing at how her wife's words slurred as she started to rant on.
"Ok honey I will be waiting for you. I really am so sorry I fell asleep. I feel horrible San I love you and I am so glad you're ok baby." After that Santana became unresponsive Sam got back on the phone and explained her wife had fallen asleep and he would make sure she got home safe as soon as possible. Getting off the phone Brittany walked down stairs turning on lights as she went. It felt like a whole night and not just an hour of waiting for Sam and Finn to come in carrying a sleeping Latina who was indeed sporting a big blue foot brace. Wendy followed closely behind with her husband carrying Santana's belongings. "Thank you guys so much." Brittany said once the guys were back downstairs from carrying Santana to bed. "No problem Brittany. See you tomorrow." Finn said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before following the rest out of the house. Brittany locked the door before climbing up the stairs to go cuddle with her wife. Needless to say Brittany did not get any sleep at all. Santana woke up not long after Brittany figured a way to climb on the bed without hitting her wife's foot. The pain medicine wore off pretty fast and Santana was hungry then wanted to talk about the day with Brittany. She also said that she wouldn't be able to go into work for about a week which even though she was exhausted Brittany was thankful for. Brittany sleepy told Santana of her day and how they had Lena for the weekend. Santana smiled loving that little girl. She hoped their child would be like Lena or even nick both kids where good unlike her brothers kids that where very noisy and too out of control for her. Santana watched a sleeping Brittany until sleep overcame her as well.
"Wake up sleepy head I have you your breakfast of delicious pain killers." Brittany sung as the Latina opened her eyes. Brittany smiled down at her wife even though she was still very exhausted" Thank you babe." Santana said sitting up right. Her foot brushed something hard on the end of the bed and in an instant pain shot up her leg." Ouch." Santana cried out loud. Alerted Brittany looked down to see a book on the bottom of the bed. She cringed watching her wife's face change as pain shot up her leg." Here take these quick." Brittany instructed. Santana let out a few deep breaths before taken the pills in her hands and the cup of water Brittany had gotten her to take the pills with. Brittany sat down on the edge of the bed and took the empty glass when Santana was done." What are you dressed up for?" Santana asked eyeing the blondes outfit." I have to go see missy here in a few hours." Santana looked at the clock and growled." Let me just take a shower and I'll get dressed." Brittany shook her head." You don't have to come baby your ankle. I can call your mom or my mom to come stay with you?" Brittany offered. Santana was not letting her wife go alone she knew how emotional Brittany was these days after therapy and she needed her there to help calm her down." No, I am coming." Brittany saw there was no compromising with the Latino so she agreed.
Missy asked Brittany how everything was going. After Brittany explained what she knew what happened to her wife. Santana wasn't amused that Sam had told Brittany her embarrassing accident but didn't say anything. Brittany told missy about how the nightmares and panic attacks have recently started becoming real bad since she went off the medication." I feel so bad because Santana is so worried and I have really been trying to do yoga and reading but sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed even though I am not doing much. "Santana squeezed her wife's hand to comfort her." That is normal Brittany. We are seeing each other twice a week do you want to bump it up to three times a week again?" Brittany looked over to her wife but Santana shook her head." It's up to you." Brittany shook her head." I think twice is enough?" Santana needed to voice her opinion." Brittany has not been talking about anything concerning what happened to her at all. She just walks out if I say something and I am worried she is bottling all this in and one day she is going to explode and I know it can't be healthy to keep feelings in. I know she is pretending to be Happy all the time for me for some reason but I know that isn't what she is really feeling and it hurts me when she won't tell me." Santana looked straight at missy not wanting to see Brittany's face at the moment." Brittany is that true? You're not talking to anyone lately? I know we have discussed opening up can be really helpful for you." Brittany bit her bottom lip knowing she had to tell missy and Santana the truth and she wasn't worried about missy knowing as much as she was worried what her wife was going to think when she knew." I have been talking to someone." Santana shot her a questioning glance.
"Who have you been talking to Britt? " Santana asked curious to know. Brittany took a second to clear her mind before answering." Please don't be mad at me but I have been talking to kitty a lot lately about this kind of stuff." Missy had only heard the name a couple of times before but by the look on Santana's face she wasn't thrilled by this confession one bit." Kitty is your best friend?" Missy asked wanting to make sure she was right Brittany nodded still looking very nervous" Really Britt freaking kitty. Tell me why her? You use to talk to me. What happened?" Santana asked offended. Brittany didn't think Santana should be pissed because kitty was her best friend and she was actually talking to someone but she did need to explain her reasoning to her wife." Because I love us smiling and laughing with one another like we use to do before this mess. Santana things have been so good lately and I love seeing you less stress. You have work and other things to worry about then my mess." Santana shook her head." You never have to pretend with me Britt you know that. I don't want you going off to Kitty because you're worried you're going to stress me out. Baby of course I like our good times but we have also had hard times before and we will have hard times in the future and baby I want to know, I need to know. Communication is very important." Brittany wiped a few tears before they fell from her eyes nodding agreeing with her wife. "Before anything Brittany you come first babe." By the end of the session Brittany was feeling better but she really did feel bad she had kept how she felt from her wife. Outside walking to their car Brittany tried to figure out how to apologize to Santana but she was getting irritated everything seemed so lame to her. "Baby what are you thinking about?" Santana asked observing how deep in thought her Wife had been in since they left Missy's office.
Brittany climbed into the passenger's side seat before answering her wife's question. "You and how I am going to apologize to you about keeping my feelings from you and talking to kitty." Santana leaned over the console capturing her wife's lips in her own." I get it Brittany, but you should be able to come and tell me anything and know you will never be bothering me or stressing me out." Brittany nodded knowing her wife was right and she could. "I can help you a lot more than Kitty can I hope you know that." Brittany saw the smirk across her wife's face as she talked. Brittany rolled her eyes as she gave Santana a kiss on the cheek. She knew Santana was jealous of Kitty and she had no clue how to help The Latina calm down and trust Kitty. God knew she was in this marriage for life.
