Sorry for taking so long on this chapter. I hope you all had a great holiday. As always thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
"Hey Britt?" Santana asks as she starts to go through another box of her things to put up in the house.
"Yeah babe?" Brittany asks back looking up from what she's doing.
"Are you glad we were able to move in together?" Santana asks pulling out a book from the box to put on the shelf.
"Yeah, of course San. Why do you ask?" Brittany looks up at Santana curiously.
Santana hesitates for a second before answering. "I just wanted to make sure you were still happy about us. I know living with someone 24/7 is different than visiting each other every other day."
Brittany gets up from her spot and walks over to Santana. "Baby, I love you and am so glad we made the decision to live together. What brought this up?" Brittany asks as she rubs Santana's arm up and down.
"I just wanted to make sure you were happy. I know I am and I love getting to be with you and Madison every day, but it's just we see each other's good moments and the moments where we are a little more stressed out. I just want to make sure it's what you want." Santana continues letting her past experiences somewhat bring up the insecurity's that she has.
"Santana." Brittany starts lifting her chin up. "This is the best decision that I could have made for Madison and I. You have been amazing ever since we started living together. Yes we may have stressful days, but knowing that I get to wake up next to you every day is so worth it." Brittany smiles at Santana leaning into her giving her a sweet kiss.
Santana smiles out of the kiss and sighs contently. "You are amazing Britt." Santana says.
"So are you San." Brittany says pulling Santana in for a hug.
After a few seconds they pull apart.
"Are you going to call your brother to see if Saturday is still okay?" Brittany asks.
"Yes, I'll go do that now actually." Santana says pulling away from Brittany going to grab her phone.
Santana calls her brother and he picks up after a few rings.
"Hey Santana!" He says happy that she's called.
"Hey Josh, how are you?"
"Doing good haven't heard from you in a while so I'm glad you called."
"I know I'm sorry I've just been super busy with moving into the new house and work."
"Ah how is the house? Everything going well with Brittany and Madison?"
"It's going great. We love the new house and just finished getting all the boxes put away. But I was just calling to make sure Saturday was still okay and what time you wanted us to be there." Santana asks.
"Yes Saturday would still be great. How about coming around 11 or so that way we can hangout and eat lunch. Plus Samantha has to work in the morning and she wanted to see you guys as well." Josh tells Santana.
"Awesome, Madison will be happy to hear that. Do you need me to bring anything?" Santana asks sitting at the counter in the kitchen.
"No I'll take care of the food and we can just hangout for the day."
"Okay great, well looking forward to seeing you guys."
"Me too sis, I have to get going but I'll see you Saturday."
"Alright love you Josh."
"Love you too sis. See you soon." Josh says before hanging up.
"So what's the plan?" Brittany asks walking up behind Santana.
"He said it sounds great so we will go over there all of Saturday and just hangout so you guys can get to know each other better." Santana smiles standing up from the kitchen counter walking closer to Brittany.
"Your brother seems awesome, and since you guys are so close I want to get to know him." Brittany smiles at Santana wrapping her arms around her waist holding her in her spot.
"I'm glad. My brother means a lot to me and you guys getting along would be amazing." Santana puts her hands around Brittany's neck gently.
"I think we will get along great if he's anything like you." Brittany leans in and gives Santana a kiss.
"He is, but I have to say the looks are on my side." Santana says playfully.
"Oh really." Brittany laughs before kissing Santana one more time before Madison walks in.
"Mommy can I open that new toy that I got before we moved?" Madison asks holding it up.
"Sure baby. You want me to get it open for you?" Brittany asks her daughter before unwrapping herself from Santana and walking towards her.
"Yes please." Madison smiles as Brittany take the toys and gets some scissors to open it.
Santana walks up to Madison while Brittany is busy. "So Madison we are going to my brothers Saturday to visit with my family, remember when I was telling you about that?"
"Yes mama, I remember. With Julie and Paige?" Madison asks looking up at Santana
"Yep that's right baby. I'm glad you remembered." Santana smiles at her daughter.
"Do we get to stay all day and play?" Madison asks.
"Yep, and they have all kinds of toys and they have a big playset in their backyard that I bet they would want you to play on." Santana says.
"Sounds like fun mama." Madison smiles as Santana smiles back wanting Madison to get along with her nieces.
As they are talking with each other Brittany walks over with the toy now opened.
"Here you go Madi." Brittany hands the toy to her daughter.
"Thank you mommy." Madison smiles before running back into her room to play with it.
"Did you talk with her about going to your brothers again?" Brittany asks Santana as they both start to walk over to sit on the couch.
"Yeah she seems fine with it, I think she was more worried about her new toy though." Santana laughs as Brittany sits next to her.
"Well she will have fun, she gets along with everyone that she meets." Brittany smiles as Santana puts her hand around Brittany's shoulders as Brittany gets more comfortable leaning into her.
"Did you finishing putting away the boxes?" Brittany asks looking up at Santana.
"Yes, there are a few more, but all the major items we have are put away." Santana smiles at Brittany as she leans down to give her a kiss. Once she pulls back Brittany lifts her head up to kiss Santana again a little deeper.
"I love you." Brittany whispers close to Santana's lips as she smiles up at her.
"I love you too." Santana smiles back brushing some hair out of Brittany's face. "Meeting you has been the highlight of my life." Santana continues as she looks lovingly at Brittany.
"You have been nothing but wonderful to us Santana and meeting you was something that I had only dreamed about. I'm glad we found each other." Brittany smiles back at Santana giving her the same loving look.
Brittany kisses Santana one more time before turning in Santana's arms to watch the show that was just coming on.
It's finally Saturday and Santana, Brittany and Madison are headed over to Santana's brother's house for the day.
"Hey Britt, Madi you guys ready to go!" Santana yells from the kitchen.
Brittany is the first one to come out of her room into the kitchen. "Hey babe, Madi was just finishing getting dressed. Did you get the dessert together?"
"Yes, it's right here and I have the gifts too." Santana tells Brittany walking over to her.
"Are you ready to spend more than a few hours with my family?" Santana playfully asks Brittany.
"Hmm, if they are anything like you then I'm not sure." Brittany playfully says back smiling.
"Oh just wait babe it's going to be an adventure." Santana smiles as she leans into Brittany giving her a kiss.
"Looking forward to it." Brittany smiles back kissing Santana one more time before pulling back.
"Madi come on you should be dressed!" Brittany yells toward her room.
"Coming mommy!" Madison yells back coming out of her room running into the kitchen.
"I wanted to look nice." Madison smiles at Brittany and Santana dressed in a cute shirt and shorts.
"Good outfit Madi, now let's get going so we aren't late." Santana smiles at her daughter taking her hand as they head out. Brittany locks the door behind them.
They head out and get to Josh's house in about thirty minutes.
"Alight let's go in." Santana says as she opens the door for Madison as she gets out and Brittany gets the dessert and presents.
They start walking up to the door and knock. After a few seconds Josh comes to answer.
"Hey sis!" Josh smiles at his sister giving her a big hug.
"Hey Josh, sorry we're late." Santana replies looking up at him.
"No problem we got a late start this morning anyways." He says as he looks past Santana at Brittany and Madison.
"Hey Brittany! It's nice to see you again!" Josh says excitedly giving her a hug.
"Hey Josh! Glad we could come over and spend some time with you guys." She says as he smiles and looks at Madison.
"Hey Madi, so Julie and Paige are inside playing in their room if you want to join them." Josh tells Madison as she looks at both Santana and Brittany for approval.
"You can go baby." Santana smiles at her as they all walk in.
"It's strait down and to the left Madison. Brittany do you want me to take the dessert, I can put it in the kitchen." Josh tells her.
"Yes, Thanks Josh." Brittany smiles handing him the dessert.
Madison stands there for a second getting closer to Santana holding her hand.
"Do you want me to take you?" Santana starts to get the hint. Madison nods her head. "Alright let's go. Britt I'll be back in a second."
"Take your time I can spend some time with Josh." Brittany doesn't mind getting to know Santana's brother better.
Santana starts walking with Madison to the girl's bedroom. Once she gets there she knocks and goes in. Julie and Paige look up and run towards the door to give their aunt a hug.
"Aunt Santana!" They both yell running up to her.
"Hey guys! It's so good to see you!" She hugs them back tightly.
When she pulls out of the hug she looks over to Madison then back at her nieces.
"Hey do you guys remember Madison?" Santana asks as she pulls Madison closer to her.
"Yeah! Hi Madison do you want to play with us?" Paige asks being the more outgoing one.
Madison looks back at Santana and she nods and smiles excitedly encouraging her to play. "Yes what kind of toys do you have?" Madison asks as the two girls show her around their room. Once Santana knows Madison is okay she heads out into the kitchen where Brittany and Josh are talking.
"Hey is Madi okay?" Brittany asks looking over to her.
"Yeah she is playing in the girl's room so she seemed fine. I just left the door open in case she wanted to come back out." Santana says walking into the kitchen with them.
"You want a drink Santana?" Josh asks.
"Yeah what do you have?"
"There's beer, water, soda." Josh responds.
"I'll just take a soda for now." Santana says as he grabs her one from the fridge.
"Thanks Josh." Santana smiles.
"We were just talking about you guys living together. That's awesome." Josh says taking a sip of his drink.
"Yeah been about a month now and it's working out great." Santana smiles to Brittany then looks back at Josh.
"That's a big step for you San. I mean you never wanted to live with anyone." Josh states kind of nonchalantly.
"I know but when it feels right, its right you know." Santana continues to smile as she wraps her hand around Brittany's waist pulling her closer.
"It's been great living with Santana. She helps out a lot with Madi and having to go to each other's houses on different nights was getting kind of ridiculous." Brittany continues to say.
"I think it's great." Josh smiles getting the burgers ready to grill.
"Where's Samantha?" Santana asks, which is Josh's wife.
"She had to run to work for a few hours but she should be back as soon as lunch is ready. You guys want to get the girls and go out back and let them play outside while we make lunch."
"Yeah I'll go get them." Santana says as she gives Brittany a kiss before walking back to get them.
Santana hears Madison playing with Paige and Julie. She smiles listening to them play for a second before knocking on the outside of the door walking into their bedroom. All three of them look up when they hear the knocking. "Hey guys you want to go outside with us and play while we make lunch?" Santana asks them.
"Yeah! Let's go!" They all say as they get up and head out back.
They all continue to talk and hangout for a bit before Samantha gets home as they are finishing up making lunch.
Josh looks up and sees Samantha walking out. "Hey babe get everything done?" Josh walks over to his wife giving her a kiss.
"Yeah mostly everything, but I didn't want to miss seeing everyone." Samantha smiles as she gets up and gives her sister in law a hug.
"Hey Samantha it's good to see you again." Santana smiles hugging her back.
"Good to see you too." Samantha smiles as she goes up to Brittany.
"Hey Brittany it's nice to see you again." Samantha smiles and hugs her as well.
"Good to see you to Samantha." Brittany says being the polite person that she is.
Samantha looks up at Madison playing with her daughters. "She is getting so big, how old is she now?"
"She just turned seven." Brittany replies.
"She's growing up so fast and it looks like she's having fun with Julie and Paige." Samantha smiles at all three of the girls playing.
"It's nice having some people around here that are her age. Maybe we can do this more often."
"Yeah definitely we would love that."
"Mommy will you come play with us!" Madison yells out to Brittany looking up from the playset they are playing on.
"Sure baby!" Brittany smiles out to Madison before looking at Santana who smiles back at her before she heads over to where the kids are playing.
"Hey Josh I'm going to go change and I'll be back." Samantha says as she heads into the house.
Santana gets up and walks over to Josh while she watches Brittany play with the kids.
"She is nothing like the other girls you used to date. You actually never really brought any of them around your nieces so she must be special if you're wanting her to come by." Josh knows his sister pretty well.
"She's great Josh. It's just different with her. I don't feel like I have to be somebody else around her. I can tell her anything. Then there's Madison. You know me, never really wanted to have my own kids but Madison has changed that. She is such a great little girl. You know she started calling me mama a couple weeks ago." Santana looks up at Josh to see his reaction.
"Wow San that's huge. Must be serious." Josh knows his sister doesn't get attached to just anyone.
"That's kind of the thing. I wanted to talk with you about something." Santana looks over to Brittany still playing and looks back up at Josh.
He just nods for her to continue.
"I bought a ring." Santana somewhat whispers.
"You what?" Josh asks wanting to make sure he knows what she means.
"I bought a ring. About three weeks ago and I was looking for the right time to ask. Josh she's the one there is no question in my mind that she's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with." Santana continues.
"Wow Santana that's amazing. I'm proud of you for taking this step. Brittany is a great person and Madi seems great as well. I've never seen you this happy ever, and I want you to be happy sis." Josh smiles at his sister being sincere.
"Thanks Josh. I was thinking that maybe one night in the next couple of weeks you could take Madi for the night or just the evening so I can plan a date with Brittany." Santana asks.
"Yeah whenever you need me just let me know. I am so proud of you though." Josh smiles again and gives his sister a hug.
As they break apart Brittany starts to head over with the girls. "So is lunch about ready I think we all worked up an appetite."
"Yeah it's all ready. Why don't you guys head inside?" Josh says as they all go in to sit at the table.
Samantha comes out to finish helping get the sides ready as they all sit down.
"Madi do you want me to make you a plate?" Santana asks her as she nods.
"Alright I'll be right back." Santana tells her as she gets her part of a burger and some fries.
She sets it in front of Madison as she goes back to make herself and Brittany a plate. Once she does she gives Brittany her plate and sits next to her. "Thanks San." Brittany smiles at Santana as she starts to eat her lunch.
"How is it?" Josh asks as they all sit around the table.
"It's great. Thanks for making lunch." Santana replies as they all continue to eat.
Once the girls are finished they head into their room to play for a bit longer.
Josh and Samantha go out back to clean up while Santana sits with Brittany in the kitchen.
"You having a good time?" Santana asks Brittany as she wraps her arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah it's great spending time with them. Your brother seems a little more like an extrovert than you though." Brittany says leaning into Santana putting her hand on Santana's thigh.
"Growing up I was always the more reserved child that had a couple of close friends and he would have all kinds of people coming by and hanging out with him. To this day he's still the same." Santana explains as she squeezes Brittany gently giving her head a kiss.
"I'm glad you are that way babe. I wouldn't want you any other way." Brittany smiles before giving Santana one more kiss.
"I'm going to go help clean up and then do you want to head out? I'm thinking that they may want some family time." Santana asks Brittany.
"That works. I'll go get Madison and then we can say bye." Brittany replies as she gets up and goes to find Madison.
Santana helps put the food away as Josh and Samantha come back into the kitchen.
"You didn't have to help clean up, you are the guest." Josh says walking in.
"The least we could do was clean up after lunch, but I think we are going to get ready to head out. Madison is probably getting tired and we have a few things we need to finish." Santana tells her brother.
"Okay that sounds good, thanks for coming by and just let me know when you need me." Josh tells his sister as they make their way into the living room where Brittany is helping Madison get her shoes on.
"You ready Madi?" Santana asks as she stands up.
"Yes mama." Madison replies.
"Alright well say by to Paige and Julie and everyone." Santana tells her as she walks over to them giving them a hug.
Brittany walks over to Samantha giving her a hug, before walking over to Josh. "Thanks again for lunch it was great getting to spend time with you guys." Brittany smiles out of the hug.
"Same to you, hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of each other in the future." Josh smiles back.
"Definitely, I think Madison would love that." Brittany tells him as they say their last goodbyes heading out to the car.
Once they get in, they head back to their house. Santana looks back to Madison in the back seat. "You have a good time baby?" Santana asks.
"Yes it was a lot of fun. I like their playset mama." Madison smiles.
"Well maybe we can get you one at some point if you like it that much." Santana smiles back.
"That would be cool mama." Madison says before looking back out the window.
Santana looks back at the road before glancing over at Brittany then looking back at the road again. "How about you babe, have a good time?" Santana asks.
"It was a lot of fun, we should have done this sooner." Brittany smiles over to Santana before Santana takes her free hand and reaches across the console to hold Brittany's.
Brittany smiles over to Santana before interlacing her fingers with Santana's and holding her hand tightly all the way home smiling out the window and being the happiest that she has ever been.
