A/N: Sorry for the incredibly long wait. Here's the next chapter.


Chapter 21

Santana's POV

"Hey mom, are you ok?" I ask as I notice my mom looking a little stressed.

"I am ok sweetheart, I am just getting frustrated because I am trying to pack my luggage for the flight back home but I cannot find my plane ticket" my mom tells me. I really hope she hasn't lost the ticket because I am not sure I want my mom staying here for much longer, my mom is the type of person who you can suffer in small bursts but she gets overbearing over long periods of time.

"Have you checked with dad, maybe he has both of your tickets?" I ask.

"Maybe" my mom says, thinking my suggestion through. "I will check with him, he is always moving stuff without realising it."

"Where is the girlfriend Lopez, I thought you two were joined at the hip" Quinn says with a cheeky smile as she enters the room.

"You are so funny Fabray" I respond. "I don't know how Rachel copes with all your pathetic little jokes that are not even that funny."

"Aw, is someone still pissed that I interrupted their make out session with the girlfriend" Quinn says in that stupid baby voice that she knows I hate. "Is my best friend mad that I walked in on her about to go down on Brittany?"

"I wasn't about to do that, we were only kissing" I say. Quinn Fabray really needs to learn that you can't say certain things in front of Maribel in case she goes all 'excited grandma' on us, expecting grandkids soon. "And for the record, no I am not mad."

"Good because if things had transpired any further then I would have been just as embarrassed as you honey" Quinn says. I really can't wait until Quinn and Rachel see one another again so that I can tease them as much as Quinn teases me about my relationship.

"Quinn, are you still available for dinner tonight" my mom asks. "I take it Brittany is still coming Santana."

"Britt's still coming" I answer. My parents wanted to take us all out to dinner since it is their last night here before they fly back to Ohio tomorrow.

"I am still available but Mercedes and I will meet you there because we need to go and see a friend from university first" Quinn says. "Is it 7pm?" Quinn asks and my mom nods. "Mercedes and I will be there for seven o'clock on the dot."

"Ok sweetheart" my mom says with a smile. "Is Brittany getting us at the restaurant or is she coming here first?"

"We've to get Britt at the restaurant because by the time she gets home from work she won't have a lot of time to spare" I say.

"Well if you had told me the correct time that your girlfriend was working then I could have reserved the table for a different time to give the poor girl more time to get ready" my mom says. I had told my mom that Brittany finished work at two instead of five o'clock because I got her shifts mixed up but my mum seems to be making it out like it is a big deal that Britt only has two hours to get ready.

"Seven o'clock is fine with Brittany mom" I say.


"Wow, you look hot baby" Brittany tells me when she arrives at the restaurant a few minutes after the rest of us.

"You too" I reply before kissing Brittany.

"Hey everyone" Brittany says as she waves to everyone before she sits down next to me. "Sorry I am a little late, the traffic was horrendous. Trust me to decide to take a cab, I would probably have been quicker walking."

"It doesn't matter, you are here now" my mom tells Brittany. "Order whatever anyone wants, Carlos is paying tonight" my mom tells us all.

"Ok, since dad is paying then I think I will definitely order the dearest fillet steak on the menu and the largest bottle of red wine they have here" I say as I smile at my parents.

Five minutes later and we all order our food and drinks. I didn't end up ordering the steak because I would much prefer a chicken dish so that's what I ordered. "That's a really pretty necklace you have Maribel" Brittany tells my mom.

"The sparkle from the pendent is quite something" Mercedes adds.

"Carlos gave me it to wear on my wedding day" my mom says with a bright smile on her face. As much as my parents get on each other's nerves, they still love each other so much. I hope if I ever get married that I can have the same adoration and love for my wife like they have for one another. "When I first met my husband he was never that good at picking out jewellery but when he gave me this a few days before we got married I knew I had found the man of my dreams."

"Was it love at first sight?" Quinn asks causing both my parents to nod. "That's so sweet, I love hearing stories of how couples fell in love at first sight."

"Me too" Mercedes says with a smile.

"I can't say it was love at first sight for that pair" Quinn says as she points at Britt and I. "It was probably more like lust at first sight since as soon as they saw one another they ended up in bed together."

"Ok, I think we can change the topic at the dinner table" I say, glaring at Quinn.


Brittany's POV

"Thank you so much for driving us to the airport Brittany" Maribel says to me as I put the car in park at the airport.

"I don't mind" I say. I don't mean any offence to Santana's parents or brother but I am looking forward to them leaving and it being just Santana and I again. We only became a proper couple a few weeks ago so without Santana's parents here we can go on more dates and get used to being in a relationship without Maribel trying to control the relationship.

"Of course you don't because it means you get to spend more time with your girlfriend" Maribel says. "You two girls are such a beautiful couple, I just cannot wait until you give me grandbabies."

"Mom, how many times do I need to say this; stop talking about grandchildren because it is not happening" Santana says in an annoyed tone. To be honest I don't mind the odd joke about kids but I don't think Maribel is joking, she is serious about wanting Santana and I to have kids. I've just got my head around being in a relationship and committing to someone so the thought of kids would make me want to run for the hills.

"Sorry, I didn't realise I wasn't allowed to get excited about the future" Maribel says. "I won't mention it again."

"Good" Santana says. "You don't pester Pedro about girlfriends or babies so I don't see why I need to be hassled."


"Take care of my baby Brittany" Maribel says in a serious tone when it is time for us all to part and Santana's parents and brother need to board their flight. "I really like you Brittany but if you hurt my daughter in any way whatsoever then you will wish you had never met me."

"I love your daughter so the last thing I ever want is for her to get hurt, especially by me" I say. "Even though she doesn't need me to protect her, I am still going to do it because she means a heck of a lot to me."

"Good but for future reference I want to see a sparking ring before a baby bump but if it happens in reverse then I guess I won't be too mad" Maribel says before she bursts out laughing. "Your face, I am just joking Brittany. It is too early for that." I would laugh too but I am seriously getting the impression that Maribel really isn't joking which scares the fuck out of me.

"Have a safe drive back girls" Santana's dad says to Santana and I before he hugs his daughter. "I love you Santana" Santana's dad says as he pulls out of the hug. "I will see you soon."

Santana nods "Love you too dad, have a good flight" Santana says and then she says the same to her mom.

"Don't bother trying to hug me, I'm ok without one" Pedro says to his sister when Santana tries to hug him. "I will see you in a few weeks when we're back for your graduation."

"Ok then little brother, take care" Santana says.

"You too, see you Brittany" Pedro says with a wave before he begins to walk off. "Come on before we miss our flight" Pedro says to his parents.

"Bye girls" Maribel says before she follows her husband and son towards the flight.

"My family is a lot to take in" Santana says when her parents and brother have disappeared out of sight.

"Mostly just your mom" I reply honestly causing Santana to laugh.

"Come on, I will buy you lunch" Santana says smiling. "It's the least you deserve after putting up with my family, I'm surprised they didn't scare you away."

"Just wait until you meet mine" I reply. My dad is ok but my stepmom and stepsister really know how to be rude, sometimes I don't understand how my dad could marry into a family as amazing as my mom's and then marry into a family like Veronica's; that's my stepmom's name. My mom's family have always been this kind and loving family who accept everyone for who they are but Veronica and her family are so stuck up and judging. My dad was brought up by two alcoholics who didn't know what love was so when he met my mom's family he finally understood what the word 'family' meant but now it's like he is back to square one. Veronica's family are not as bad as my dad's family were because they do have good family values, I just hate how Veronica tries to control my dad like my grandparents tried to control him.

"Well, they can't be as bad as Maribel" Santana says with a laugh. "I love you Britt so nothing can scare me away from being with you."

"I love you too baby" I reply before kissing Santana sweetly on the lips. "So where are you taking me for lunch?"


"Baby, can we talk for a second?" I ask Santana. "I really need to talk to you."

"Ok" Santana says sounding worried. "You are not going to break up with me are you?"

"NO, jeez no" I say as I take Santana's hand. "I would never do that, I love you."

"I love you too" Santana says happily.

"I wanted to discuss our trip to New York in a few days" I say. "I just wanted to check that you are still ok with coming since you are probably going to meet most of my family so I know that that can be a little daunting at times."

"I want to meet your family Britt" Santana tells me. "You're my girlfriend so I want to know as much as I can about you and that includes knowing your family and seeing the place where you grew up."

"Ok, things might seem a little weird to begin with when we meet my dad and stepmom because remember I was supposed to go back home at the start of this month because it was my stepmom's birthday but I didn't go because I didn't want to so I don't think I am in the good books" I say. My dad phoned me back in May to ask me to go and I said I would but I pulled out at the last minute so I don't think my dad was pleased with me.

"You told me that the party was cancelled" Santana says, looking a little annoyed. "But I am guessing by what you are saying, it wasn't actually cancelled you just didn't go."

"I know babe and I shouldn't have lied, I just really didn't want to go" I say. "I know I should have went but I was just being immature about it and I didn't want to have to go alone, I really couldn't face it."

"I know you don't have the best relationship with your stepmom but you do realise you probably hurt your dad's feelings by not attending something he wanted you to attend" Santana says. "If you had told me the truth then I would have went with you Britt."

"I regret it now and I know I done wrong but we weren't exactly girlfriends' yet so I didn't want to scare you away by rushing things and asking you to come" I say. "I do feel guilty about not going so I will apologise when we get to New York and I am sorry that I lied to you about it but I promise you that there is no more lies."

"I believe you babe but in future, just talk to me about stuff. You don't need to bottle things up or lie, I will support you no matter what" Santana tells me. "That's what a relationship is all about; talking to one another and being open and honest." Santana kisses me quickly. "Let's move on from here ok?"

I nod my head. "Tina called me this morning so she said it's still ok for us to stay with her when we arrive in New York" I say. "Also, I was thinking maybe we could offer Quinn to come with us since Rachel is still in New York and that way they can see each other."

"We totally should, Quinn has been missing Rachel a lot lately so it would be good if they could see one another" Santana says. "Do you think we could get Quinn a last minute ticket on our flight so we could all go together?"

"I could book a ticket just now and Quinn can pay me back later" I say before I grab Santana's laptop from the table.

"Thanks babe, I will text Quinn what we're up to" Santana says.


Santana's POV

"Fancy joining the mile-high club?" Brittany whispers while winking not long after we boarded our plane to New York.

"Britt!" I exclaim.

"What?" Brittany says laughing. "I didn't mean let's have sex right here in the middle of the plane, I mean in the toilets obviously."

"What if we got caught, we could get ejected from the flight for indecency?" Santana whispers.

"We're not going to get caught plus we will be in the bathroom" Brittany says.

"I don't know" I say unsurely.

"It's ok babe, it was just a thought" Brittany says. "I'm sure I can wait, I would never force you to do something you don't want to."

"Let's do it" I say.

"We don't have to" Brittany say's honestly.

"I know that but I want to, let's be adventurous" I say before standing up and holding my hand out for Brittany to take. "Come on babe." Brittany takes my hand and we both discretely slip into the toilet without anyone seeing us.

"Oh wow, it isn't exactly fresh in here" Brittany says causing me to laugh. "I have never had sex while trying to hold my breath before but I guess there is a first for everything."

"Yeah" I say with a smile before I move closer to Brittany and I start to kiss her. As soon as I feel Brittany kissing me back I gently push Brittany against the wall and kiss her more passionately. I slowly move my hand down between our bodies and I cup Brittany's crotch through her sweatpants and I immediately feel a small bulge. "You're almost hard already babe" I observe before I then begin kissing Brittany's neck.

"I know, that's what you do to me baby" Brittany tells me before she lifts my hand and puts it inside her boxers so I can feel her bulge directly. Just the feeling of the skin contact between my hand and Brittany's dick makes me wet. "I love you" Brittany says as she takes my face in her hands. Every time Brittany says those three little words to me it makes my heart skip a beat.

"I love you too" I reply before running my hand up and down on Brittany's shaft making my girlfriend harder as the seconds pass. "I love you so much." I then kiss Brittany again before I pull my hand out of Brittany's pants and instead I pull Brittany's pants and boxers down at the same time to allow her hard dick to hit the cool air.

"My turn now" Brittany says with a smile before she pulls my jeans and panties down causing the cool air to then hit my exposed center. We both lean in for another passionate kiss before Brittany lines her dick up with my center and she pushes it in slowly causing us both to moan. "Uh… that feels so good baby" Brittany utters before she slowly begins to thrust in and out of me as I cling onto my girlfriend's biceps, trying not to moan too loud. "You're so wet" Brittany just manages to say before she blows her load right inside me.

Not long later my explosive orgasm hits me after some help from Brittany's magical fingers. "You…" I got to speak but the power of the orgasm prevents me.

"You're so sexy" Brittany whispers in my ear. "Just the thought of you orgasming because of me makes my dick harden." Brittany then pulls me close and helps me ride out the rest of my orgasm before we both find ourselves locked in another passionate kiss.


"Where have you been?" Quinn asks me when I get sat back down on my seat. "I have been searching all over for you, for a minute I thought I had got mixed up with what section of the plane you were in." Since Quinn got a late booking on the flight then it meant that she wasn't seated anywhere near Britt and I so she must have left her seat to come and find us.

"Sorry, I went for a walk and to use the toilet" I say.

"You were away for a while then, are you ok?" Quinn asks worried.

"I am fine" I say before I change the subject. "So did Rachel get back to you about going on that dinner date when you get to her apartment?"

"Yeah, she's reserved a table for later tonight" Quinn answers. "And she also said that instead of me staying with you and Brittany at Tina's apartment then I can stay with her."

"Oh, very cosy. You and Rachel alone in her apartment, I hope you actually manage to make that dinner date and don't end up never leaving the apartment for the full duration of the trip" I tease.

"Jeez, we are not you and Brittany" Quinn says. What's that supposed to mean. "We can be around one another and refrain from jumping each other's bones every minute of the day, our relationship is more than just sex."

"My relationship with Britt is more than just physical too" I say, feeling a little offended. "We may have a very healthy sexual appetite but we do have an excellent relationship in other ways too, our connection is more than just sex."

"I know that, I wasn't being nasty Santana" Quinn says. "You really do get very defensive at times."

"Sorry" I apologise.

"Oh hey Quinn, what's up?" Brittany says when she gets back to her seat.

"Nothing much, what's up with you?" Quinn asks.

"Nothing, I was just at the toilet" Brittany says.

"Rachel is taking Quinn to dinner tonight" I say changing the subject.

"Very nice, do you know where?" Brittany asks Quinn.

"Some Italian restaurant that Rachel thinks I will love" Quinn replies.

"Cool, well Santana and I are having dinner with my dad and the stepmonsters" Brittany says.

"Stepmonsters?" Quinn questions.

"That's what she calls her stepmom and stepsister" I say, answering the question for my girlfriend. "As you can guess, Brittany is not their biggest fan."

"Hence the reason I hardly ever go back to New York" Brittany interjects. "Anyway, enough on this topic. I bet you are excited to see your girlfriend Quinn."

"Oh, I can't wait" Quinn says excitedly. If I was in Quinn's position I would probably feel just as excited, I don't know how Quinn can survive so long without seeing her girlfriend.


Brittany's POV

"Ok, here goes" I say nervously as I hold on tight to Santana's hand before I knock on the door with my other hand. Who would have thought that: one; I would be nervous to knock on the door of the house I called home for all of my childhood and two; that I would need to actually knock on that door and not just walk straight in like I used to do.

"I'm here babe, don't be nervous" Santana says, giving me a reassuring squeeze on my hand and a comforting smile.

After a few minutes, the door swings open revealing my dad. "Brittany" my dad says smiling.

"Hi dad" I reply before my dad pulls me into a hug. I don't know why but just being in my father's arms again has made me feel all emotional.

"I have missed you" my dad says as we pull apart.

"I missed you too" I say shyly before I pull away and take Santana's hand again. "Dad, this is my girlfriend Santana."

"It's nice to finally meet you Mr Pierce" Santana says politely before holding her hand out, presumably waiting for my dad to shake it.

"You too dear" my dad replies while shaking Santana's hand. "Come on in girls."

"Thanks" I say before leading Santana inside.

"Let me take your coats" my dad says before Santana and I hand over our jackets. It feels so weird because this house is so familiar yet it also seems strange and foreign to me. "Veronica and Felicia are in the kitchen, they can't wait to see you again and meet your girlfriend." I am sure that isn't true because I can't say the feeling is mutual. As soon as we get into the kitchen Veronica; my stepmom and Felicia; my stepsister look at us. "Darling, the girls are here" my dad says.

"Hi Brittany" Veronica says. "Is this the lovely Santana?"

"Yes, this is my girlfriend Santana" I say.

"Nice to meet you" Santana says politely with a warm smile.

"This is Brittany's sister Felicia" Veronica tells Santana but I immediately interject.

"Stepsister" I say.

"Nice to meet you anyway" Santana says. I hate how perfect and polite my girl is. "Thank you so much for inviting us to dinner tonight and allowing me to tag along with Brittany to your party in a couple of days."

"No need to thank us" my dad says. "We miss Brittany so much and since you are a big part of her life then I think it is only right that we got to meet, you are part of the family now."

"Thank you" Santana says with a smile.

"Dinner is not quite ready yet so why don't we go and take a seat in the lounge" Veronica suggests so we all head through.

"That's a nice dress Santana" Felicia tells Santana.

"Thank you, I got it on a sale last week" Santana replies.

"I've got one which is a little similar but it is blue in colour" Felicia says.

"I don't really own many blue items, I am more of a red kind of girl" Santana says.

"I am a blue type of girl" Felicia says.

"Are you looking forward to your birthday Mr Pierce?" Santana asks when an awkward silence overcomes us.

"Yeah, I am now that Brittany is here" my dad replies. "You don't need to call me Mr Pierce, call me James."

"James it is then" Santana says.

"Dinner is now ready to be served" the maid says and then I realise that it is Marjory. Marjory was the maid when I was growing up and when my parents were working she would babysit me, when Veronica came she fired Marjory so now I am confused as to why she is back.

"Marjory?" I question just to check that it is in fact her.

"Yes Miss Pierce" is the answer I get and she also gives me a hint of a smile. Normally I would hug Marjory but I don't want to make her feel like she is being unprofessional in front of my dad and Veronica.

"Nothing, sorry" I say, smiling at her. At least with Marjory here, this place feels more like home.
