The next morning Brittany woke up to the sounds of the television and some light chatter coming from outside the room. She buried her face deeper into Santana's neck and Santana laughed lightly.
"How long have you been up?"
"I don't know…probably no longer than an hour."
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Brittany said looking up at Santana before she sat up a little bit.
"Because there was no need to. It's still kind of early so I won't be leaving until all the doctors and nurses change shifts….and besides, you are cute when you sleep."
"Creeper." Brittany said with a smirk before she looked at the girl's arm. "How are you feeling?"
"Ah, the million dollar question." Santana said with a laugh as she shook her head.
"I'm serious, San."
"I know. And I feel okay…they gave me some medication after you left so that kind of did the trick, you know?"
"Yeah, I figured. I think I could have thrown a party in here last night and you wouldn't have budged."
"Did you have any trouble getting back in here last night?"
"No, not at all. Holly snuck me in like she was smuggling an immigrant over the border. She claimed that she was acting out her passion of being a ninja but really it didn't seem like anyone cared that I was coming in anyway."
"Sometimes I wonder how she became a doctor…." Santana said as she shook her head. Brittany laughed at this as the two settled into some light conversation.
About an hour later, they were interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Sorry to interrupt." The man said as he entered.
"No need to apologize, Lt. Schuester….I mean Will." Santana corrected herself as she sat up a little bit. Will had always been very personable and on a first name basis with anyone in his firehouse. It made going to work a little bit more tolerable. Brittany kind of just looked at the man not really knowing what to say or do.
"Still, I am sorry. I know you will be discharged soon so I wanted to see you before that." He said as he stepped even closer into the room.
"Um, Will…this is Brittany." Santana said pointing towards Brittany who smiled when she heard her own name. Will's face mirrored a smile as he extended his hand to her.
"Ah, so this is Brittany? It's really nice to meet you."
"You too, sir."
"How did you know about her?" Santana questioned him as she figured that he would refer back to the car accident.
"Well, you know Puckerman can't keep his mouth shut….especially when he's happy for someone." Will pointed out and Santana nodded before a silence came over them.
"I um…I'm going to let you guys talk." Brittany said as she excused herself.
"You two are cute together." Will said as he watched Brittany leave.
"Thanks…..but um so not that I'm not enjoying your visit but I can't help but think that there's a bigger reason you are here."
"Well, my main reason for coming was to check up on you for myself. The other reason was because I just….I just wanted to tell you how truly sorry I am about all of this."
"It's okay, sir. It wasn't your fault…"
"I overlook and supervise all of you so of course it's my fault. I trusted the word of the cops and I wish that I could take that back."
"I understand, Will. It was just a crazy series of events that none of us really could have predicted or changed. I don't blame you, trust me." Santana said as she grabbed Will's hand and squeezed it. She offered him a sad smile which he returned.
"I'm so glad that you are okay." He said as he cleared his throat. "I can only hope the best for Dave and this time tomorrow I'm sure Noah will be his usual self." He said and the two of them laughed lightly. "But um I want you to take some time off. At least a week….or however long you want. I know you are going to argue with me but I assure you that if you arrive at the firehouse I will order you to eat Lauren's cooking as a punishment." He said seriously as Santana cringed at the thought and then nodded.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"There is no sock on the door knob, so it better be safe to assume that you two are decent." Holly called out as she walked in looking at a chart. "Oh, well…..this is extremely awkward." She said as she realized that Santana wasn't with Brittany.
"Morning, Dr. Holliday." Santana said with a smirk as she was just loving that Holly had just embarrassed herself. "This is Will Schuester."
"Oh wow, the Will Schuester?" She said extending her hand to him as he looked on confused. "The ginger nurse we have talks about you all the time….." She trailed on but then got quiet as she saw the look on Santana's face. "I mean we don't have a ginger nurse….ah, my pager is going off. I have to go." She said as she darted out of the room.
"I'm sorry about her…..she um, she's just Holly." Santana offered up not really knowing how to explain the unique doctor.
"It's fine….and if that ginger nurse she was referring to is Emma then I am happy to hear that she talks about me all the time since we've been out on a few dates recently." He said with a smile and Santana was shocked at the information. They continued to discuss some things.
Meanwhile outside the room, Holly made her way to the nurses' station.
"Is Elmo working today?" She asked Rachel who was too busy staring at Brittany who was on the phone with someone.
"I'm sorry….who?"
"Nurse Elmo…." She said like it was the most obvious thing in the world and Rachel just shrugged. "You're serious? Oh man, what is up with you this morning? You're acting like someone just stole your entire Barbara Streisand CD collection or something."
"That would be horrible….." Rachel trailed on as she thought about what Holly had just said.
Holly stared at the young nurse for a few moments before she shook her head and just left to find entertainment elsewhere. Brittany stopped Holly momentarily and the two spoke before Holly went down the hallway. Brittany ended her phone call and then made her way over to Rachel.
"Hey, Rach!" She said.
"Hey, Brittany. How are you?"
"Good, excited for them to release San. Holly said it should be in about an hour or two." Brittany noted and Rachel nodded at the information. "Marissa, Quinn, and Beth are coming and then we are all going to go out for dinner. Would you want to join us if you aren't working tonight?"
"Um no thanks. I wouldn't want to intrude or anything. You guys enjoy."
"No, Rachel, really you wouldn't be intruding. We figured that we'd go out and then maybe come back here if Noah was awake by then. So really you aren't imposing or anything." Brittany said genuinely.
"It's probably best I don't go….really." She said quietly and Brittany noted the tone of voice.
"Why?"
"It's nothing….."
"No, it's totally something." Brittany challenged her. "Oh my god, something happened with you and Quinn, didn't it? I didn't notice it immediately yesterday but you two were acting weird."
Rachel stayed quiet and busied herself with meaningless paperwork.
"Rachel, what happened?" Brittany said trying to meet the girl's eyes.
"I might have kissed her yesterday….."
"Might have….like you kissed her cheek and it was close to the lips?"
"No, might have as in I actually kissed her yesterday."
"Shut up! When?"
"Um, it was when Quinn went outside while you all were in the waiting room. I went outside to check on her and she just seemed so sad….and I kissed her. It was stupid and I know that it was totally inappropriate so really I shouldn't go with you all for dinner."
"Wow…..wow." Was all Brittany could manage before a smile formed on her face. "How did Quinn react after you kissed her?"
"Excuse me?" Rachel said taken aback by the question because Brittany wasn't mad at her actions. Brittany just nodded her head knowing that Rachel had heard her the first time. "She was kind of shocked…so was I then she said she had to go back inside for you and when she left I wanted to talk about it but she told me not to do it here. I did give her a ride to pick up Beth though. Why?"
"No, just wondering. Look when she gets here I won't mention that I know but if things aren't awkward or weird, would you consider coming tonight?"
"Maybe." Rachel said and Brittany smiled at that. She then excused herself as she noticed that Will was exiting Santana's room.
She entered the room with a smile on her face.
"What are you smiling about?" Santana said as she stood up and sat near the window.
"Well, I just heard two very good things…..one: Holly said that you'll be out in the next hour or two….and don't worry, I called your cousin and Quinn."
"Thanks." Santana said as she watched Brittany take a seat on the window sill. "And what was number two?"
"I don't know if I should tell you." She said with a smirk.
"You have to now. You can't bring something up and then keep it a secret."
"Fine, but have to promise that you won't say a word and that you won't tease anyone either." Santana rolled her eyes by she held up her pinky which Brittany took in her own. "Okay, so Rachel kissed Quinn yesterday."
"No way!" Santana said a little bit louder than expected. "I don't know if I can keep that pinky promise now, Britt. This is just too golden not to be able to be used….."
"Please, San, for me. Don't say anything."
"Fine." Santana said with a huff as she leaned in to kiss Brittany. "But just because I can't say no to you."
The two settled into a nice conversation that mainly focused on the New York City skyline view that the hospital room had. About 30 minutes later, there was a tiny knock at the door.
"Tana!" Beth exclaimed as she walked in with a huge smile on her face and Quinn followed slightly behind. "Aunty B! You guys Dr. Holly taught me how to be a ninja….but I messed it up because I was supposed to sneak up on you. I couldn't help it cause I was excited." She said sweetly as she immediately jumped up onto Brittany's lap.
"Hey guys. How are you feeling today, San?"
"A little better but that's probably because of the medication." She noted honestly.
"Well, your cousin said that she'd be here in a couple of minutes so any word on when your release is going to be?"
"I think I can answer that…." The conversation was interrupted by Holly who poked her head into the room. She reached into her coat and pulled out a lollipop for Beth who thankfully accepted it. "You'll be good to go in 20 minutes tops. We just need to get the paperwork sorted out."
"Thank god." Santana said under her breath.
"Ladies, minus little Quinn here, I believe a night out for drinks is in order once this one's arm gets better." Holly suggested as her name was being paged. Everyone agreed and Beth kind of pouted since she didn't understand why she couldn't go. "Hey girl hey." She said to Marissa on her way out before making her way down the hallway.
"Hey, San." She said a little hesitantly. "Um, I hope it's okay but someone is here to see you." She said as she moved out of the way and a woman walked into the room.
"God, Santana when Marissa called me and told me I had to come immediately."
"Jesus." Santana said under her breath but then she smiled. "Aunt Maria, it's really no big deal you didn't have to come."
"Nonsense, I've been meaning to visit you girls anyways…unfortunately, this was a bad motivator to finally do so." She said and Santana just shrugged.
"Uh, Aunt Maria, this is my friend Quinn and her daughter Beth….and this is Brittany, my girlfriend." She said as she smiled towards Brittany.
"Oh so you are Brittany? Marissa has filled me in on some things and I just have to say I approve." She said with a wink and Santana rolled her eyes as Quinn, Marissa and Brittany laughed. "And Quinn, it's nice to meet you. Oh my goodness, you have to be the cutest thing I've ever seen." She said to Beth who suddenly became really shy. She whispered something into Brittany's ear who then answered her and suddenly Beth's shyness went away.
"I like your nails. They are my favorite color." She said and Maria just smiled as she and Marissa took a seat on the bed. They were all discussing where to go for dinner later that day when Rachel entered the room.
"Oh, wow. You have a full house I see." She said noting all the people in the room. She avoided Quinn's gaze and instead focused on the person she didn't know.
"That's my Aunt Maria, Berry."
"Wait, Rachel Berry?" Maria asked and Rachel nodded.
"Oh my god, you've grown. I remember seeing you in one of those musical productions back a couple of years ago in college. You all live in a very small world, huh?" She said and everyone just laughed.
"I uh….I have the sign out papers for you, Santana." She said handing Santana the clipboard.
"Thanks, Berry." She said as she puckered her lips teasingly and Rachel's attention quickly went to Brittany. She mouthed 'you told?' to her and luckily only Marissa and Maria saw the exchange. Brittany just innocently shrugged as Rachel looked like she wanted to crawl inside herself and die. "Okay, that's it?" Santana said as she handed the papers back.
"Yes, thank you. Um, someone will be in with a wheelchair to take you out so just sit tight for a few moments."
"No." Santana said standing up. "My arm is hurt not my legs. So screw the wheelchair and I'm leaving now." She completely ignored the protests from Rachel who ultimately gave up trying.
They all exited the hospital and Santana went over to Brittany.
"I'm going to head back with Marissa. But I'll see you at dinner right?" Brittany nodded and Santana smiled. "Good."
"Brittany loves Tana and so do I." Beth said proudly to Maria who was watching the exchange along with Quinn and Marissa.
"I love you too, kid." Santana said to Beth whose face light up as she ran up to hug Santana. "Okay, we will be seeing you all at 7 right?" She confirmed as they all parted ways.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Quinn and Beth decided to head back to Brittany's since it was closer to the place they were going later that night.
Quinn immediately noticed something strange on the table as they walked in.
"Britt, I thought you gave this back?" She said about the engagement ring.
"I did. I…left the hospital last night to get some clothes and other things and when I arrived he was sleeping on my couch." Brittany said and Quinn stopped moving. Beth was busy already watching TV.
"He was here?" She said and Brittany nodded. "What happened?"
"He gave me money for the hole in the wall…..and then he started talking about how he took himself out of the NFL draft and how he's going to fight for me."
"Brittany…."
"I know, Quinn. I loved him….he was my first love and I know everyone says that you never forget your first love and I won't. It doesn't mean that your first love has to be your forever love. I'm over him….I love Santana."
"I know you do, Brittany. Anyone with eyes can see that but you have to understand that this could get messy." She said sternly as Brittany nodded.
"He left me journal entries." She said nodding her head over to the envelope next to the ring. "They start from the first week of college to just a couple of weeks into his transfer. It's basically our whole relationship, well….at least when it was good."
"Are you going to read them?"
"I don't know…maybe. I don't see what they are going to do for me. I mean maybe I'll read the ones from after he left so that I could see where everything went wrong." She said with a shrug as Quinn nodded trusting Brittany. They decided to let the topic of Chris die as they joined Beth on the couch and watched some silly cartoons with her.
Meanwhile just a couple of blocks away, Santana was returning home with her cousin and her aunt.
"God, I just want to sleep for days." Santana said as she lightly fell onto the couch.
"Not before you fill me in on things. Your cousin hear has been putting some pieces together but she sucks with details. I gathered from her that you met Brittany because she was a patient you saved. Is that right?" She asked and Santana nodded.
"Yeah, it was a car crash and after I found out that she survived, I visited her a few times and then she showed up here one night after her boyfriend at the time proposed to her. It was a crazy series of events but I'm so grateful for it."
"Wow, my little niece is adorably smitten." She awed at the sight causing Santana to roll her eyes. Marissa entered the room again and sat next to Santana.
"She's the only person outside of our family, Noah and Holly who I've opened up to about mom." She noted and Maria looked at her daughter.
"Well, she's very beautiful Santana and I can tell that you two are very happy together. Now, you have to let me in on who Marissa is dating since she won't tell me. I know it isn't that Robbie guy or whatever his name was so will you finally solve this mystery for me?"
"Mom, I'm not dating anyone." Marissa exclaimed and Santana kind of gave her a look to say 'you kind of are.'
"No, I don't believe that…you are too happy." She said examining her daughter closely. "Usually you are drowning your sorrows in ice cream the second you are single and so far I see no empty cartons lying around."
"I've matured mom." She said defensively hoping that the subject would change. Santana and Maria just looked at each other and then started laughing.
"Thanks for the laugh, Marissa. I really needed it. Now if you guys don't mind, I'm going to try to sleep for a little bit before we go out tonight." She said as her cousin and her aunt nodded. She then carefully set herself down on the bed. Her mind was racing at a thousands miles an hour but suddenly then stopped and she found herself fast asleep.
"I'm sorry I haven't been back much to see you two." Maria said to her daughter as she looked back towards the room Santana just went into.
"It's okay, Mom. I understand that you don't exactly live in the same house as me anymore….hell, you don't even live in the same state so I understand."
"I know but still. I promised myself I wouldn't get so wrapped up in things in Jersey that I would forget about guys."
"You haven't forgotten us. You called a month ago and besides I've been really busy lately and so has Santana. We don't take it personally."
"Good because I love you both." Maria said as she hugged Marissa.
"Have you heard from Dad lately?"
"No, not since the last time. I remember he said that he wouldn't be able to contact us for a couple of months." Marissa just nodded. Her father had been in the army when she was really little. He had served his time and then came back home up until about 3 years ago when he decided to go back. It was tough for everyone so it remained pretty much unspoken until he contacted them.
The mother and daughter began to catch up a little bit before it was just about an hour and a half before they were supposed to go out. Marissa went into Santana's room and gently woke her up.
"San." She said as she nudged her. "Santana."
"What?" She muttered as she turned to the other side.
"I figured I'd wake you up so you have time to get ready."
"I don't feel like going." She said and Marissa immediately knew that it wasn't because Santana was tired.
"Okay, if you don't want to then you don't have to." She said softly as Santana just nodded.
Marissa returned back into the living room and told her mother.
"I'm going to call Brittany and tell her. I'm going to see if she can come over here and maybe then we can go out and give them some privacy."
"They are really good for each other, aren't they?" Maria asked and Marissa thought about it for a moment before a smile came onto her face and she nodded her head.
Marissa then got her phone and dialed Brittany's number. After about two rings, the girl picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Britt. Listen, San isn't really feeling up to dinner tonight. Would you mind coming over here? I think she needs you."
"Um, yeah of course. I'll be over there as soon as I can."
"Thanks." She said as she and Brittany then exchanged goodbyes.
"What was that about?" Quinn asked noticing the change on Brittany's face.
"Santana isn't going out tonight. I hope you don't mind but I'm going to go over there and be with her."
"No, I don't mind at all, Britt….but um, what about Rachel? Since you know, you kind of invited her out and all."
"Why don't you two go?" Brittany said and Quinn just shook her head.
"No, I can't….."
"Quinn, I know." Brittany said simply and Quinn immediately went to protest. "I know I'm not supposed to know and you aren't supposed to know that I know but I do. And I think you're stupid for running away from whatever it is that you are."
Quinn stared at Brittany for a couple of moments before she cleared her throat.
"Beth, honey, we have to go." She called out to her daughter who came bouncing into the room several moments later.
"To see Tana?" She asked excitedly.
"No, honey. Santana isn't feeling very well tonight but we will see her really soon. Tonight we are going to meet up with Rachel, how's that sound?" Quinn said as she bent down to be at her daughter's level. Brittany couldn't help the smile that formed on her face.
"Okay. She talks a lot sometimes but so do I. I like her." She said proudly before Quinn picked her up. "But Aunty B, what are you going to do now?"
"I'm going over to see Santana….to make sure that she feels a little better." She said as she poked Beth's nose playfully.
"Mommy, everyone always says that I'm adorable…." She said looking at Quinn. "But I think that Britty and Tana are adorable." She said with a smile and the two adults soon wore one as well.
"Well, you are and so are they. Now let's get going." She said as the three of them headed out of Brittany's apartment. Once outside, they said their goodbyes before they parted ways. Within about 20 minutes, Brittany found herself knocking on the door of Santana and Marissa's apartment.
"Brittany, come on in, sweetie." She was greeted warmly by Maria who soon pulled her in for a hug.
"Hi, Mrs…." Brittany trailed on as she noticed the glare that Maria was sending her. "I mean Maria. And hey, Marissa."
"Hey, Britt. Thanks for coming by. I'm just hopeless when it comes to figuring Santana out. She's like a rubix cube and somehow you can finish it within seconds." She said as Brittany just looked down.
"It's fine, really. And she's just stubborn." Brittany said as the three of them laughed.
"That certainly comes from my side of the family." Maria noted.
"Okay, so why don't you two head out and I'll take care of her?" Brittany said figuring that it was a perfect opportunity for Marissa to have some time with her mother. The two girls nodded their heads before saying their goodbyes and leaving.
Brittany took a deep breath and headed towards Santana's room. She knocked lightly on the door but Santana didn't even budge. Brittany just simply smiled before she laid down on the bed. She took this time to look at Santana's arm. It was still bandaged up and she wasn't even surprised at the fact that Santana wasn't wearing the sling like the hospital had recommended.
She let out a content sigh before she saw Santana move a little bit. She then turned over gently trying to avoid hurting her arm.
"Brittany?" She said lightly with her eyes closed halfway.
"Yeah, babe. Just go back to sleep."
"I wasn't sleeping…just resting my eyes." Santana muttered as she curled up into Brittany.
"That's the lamest excuse and you know it."
"Shut up." She responded back into her neck. "You didn't have to come. Sorry about cancelling dinner."
"It's fine, Santana. Your cousin and aunt went out and Quinn is meeting with Rachel and I'm exactly where I want to be so no harm, no foul."
"Quinn and Rachel, huh? Guess it's a good thing I cancelled." Santana said with a laugh as she laced her and Brittany's fingers together.
"You should really go back to sleep, honey."
"I don't want to. Holly is going to call me as soon as Noah gets up so I want to be ready for that."
"San, that could take anywhere from a minute to a couple of hours. If you don't rest then you are just going to end up damaging yourself even more."
"Don't want to sleep….can we just stay like this forever?"
"I'm not going anywhere, Santana." Brittany said as she kissed Santana's head. A very comfortable silence came over them and after a couple of minutes, Brittany was sure that Santana was asleep. It wasn't long until she found herself doing the same thing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rachel waited outside the restaurant. She had received a text from Quinn, which surprised her, telling her where to meet and at what time. So there she was about 5 minutes earlier than she was supposed to and she stood awkwardly shuffling her feet.
"Hey." The voice startled her as she looked up.
"Hey." She said with a cautious smile but the smile grew wider when she saw Beth. "Hi, Beth. How are you?"
"I'm good." She said playfully. "Aunty B and Tana couldn't come so it's just us….the three muskrats." She said proudly.
"Musketeers, honey." Quinn said as she laughed at her daughter.
"Are you….uh sure? You could have just called and told me it was cancelled." Rachel said searching Quinn's eyes.
"I'm sure, Rachel. Come on, let's go eat." She said before she ushered Beth inside. Rachel soon followed with a huge grin on her face.
They sat down in a booth as the waiter came and introduced himself before handing them menus.
"Mommy, I want spa…spa." She said trying to pronounce the word before she simply just pointed to the item on the menu.
"Spaghetti, honey."
"Yes." She said turning her attention to Rachel. "Aunty B and I watch the Lady and the Tramp all the time and sometimes we have the spaghetti like the dogs in the movie."
Rachel smiled at the girl before she smile went up to Quinn. Quinn simply looked away and focused her attention on the menu. The waiter came back and took their orders.
"You're a vegetarian?" Quinn asked.
"Uh, yeah….since before high school."
"Wow."
"Yeah, my fathers were kind of crazy about nutrition so I really didn't have a choice." Rachel shrugged.
"Wait, fathers?" Quinn questioned.
"Yeah, I was adopted and now I have two dads. I guess that's why you could say I'm so addicted to Broadway and New York." Rachel said with a laugh as she took a sip of her wine. She looked down at Beth who was busy coloring and then back at Quinn whose face hadn't changed. "I'm sorry…but you don't have a problem with that do you?"
"What? No…." Quinn exclaimed. "I mean I practically pushed Santana and Brittany together. I don't have a problem that or with them or my friends Kurt and Blaine."
"Or me?" Rachel muttered with a smirk. Quinn looked at Rachel sideways before she grabbed her hand.
"Or you." She said as she squeezed Rachel's hand. A couple of moments later, the waiter returned and took their orders. The conversation shifted topics and before they knew it they were splitting the check. "This wasn't a date, Rachel." Quinn said clearly as they stood up to leave.
"Of course, Quinn."
"I'm serious. It wasn't."
"I'm not questioning you, Quinn. It's fine. I got your message loud and clear yesterday and frankly, I'm just happy that you decided to come especially because of what I did yesterday."
"We never talked about that….and we aren't going to in front of my daughter. That is why this isn't a date."
"What…." Rachel asked out of confusion as she just watched Quinn and Beth head towards the exit. She shook her thoughts and soon followed them.
"Um, do you want to come back to my place? Or are you going to head home?" Quinn asked.
"Um, I don't want to impose or anything….seems that Beth is a little worn out." She noted the girl who looked like she was about to fall asleep in Quinn's arms.
"She gets so damn excited seeing Santana." Quinn said as she shook her head. "And you wouldn't be imposing, Rachel. If you aren't busy, you are more than welcome to come. This way we can you know talk." Rachel shook her head and accepted the offer as the two hailed a cab and headed back to Quinn's.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was a little after 8 when Marissa and Maria got back to the apartment. They went to check in on Santana and Brittany and saw the two girls asleep in each other's arms.
About 20 minutes later, Brittany woke up as she felt Santana move. She sat up a little and saw that she was still asleep. Brittany sitting up caused Santana to stir even more and it eventually led to her waking up.
"Hey." Santana mumbled as she buried herself closer to Brittany.
"Hi." Brittany said not being able to control the smile on her face. She felt like a teenager who was experiencing their first crush or something. She felt safe because even though the last 24 hours had been hell for Santana, they were together at that moment and that's all that mattered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
No cliffhanger…..haha I was feeling nice. I'll pick up with Noah next chapter and a couple of other things. Not too sure how much longer this fic is going to last to be honest. Always love the feedback and all that.
Oh and the season 3 premiere last night…..OH MY GOD. I won't say anything in case some of you haven't seen it yet but ohhhh, I can tell this season will be so much better than last season. ;]
Enjoy!
