Okay just to clarify at this point in the story Sophia is five and the baby is one, Santana and Brett both where eighteen when Santana got pregnant and nineteen when when she gave birth. I hope this clears up any confusion people are having.
"Thanks again for doing this. Normally we would have Tina or Quinn watch them, but they're both back in Lima." Santana says handing Lily over to Sue.
"No problem so long as I don't have raise them. Raising Brett was hard enough." Sue says bouncing Lily up and down.
"Hey," Brett says coming down. "I was a good kid."
"Oh sure, I still remember that time you ended up in the sewers." Sue laughs.
Flashback
"Mom! I'm going to San's!" Brett shouts pulling his shoes on.
"Okay Ken, just be back before six!" Sue shouts from the trophy room.
Brett runs out the door only stopping to pick up his skateboard. He had promised Santana that he would teach her. He doesn't understand why she suddenly wants to learn, but it is finally something he can teach her instead of the other way around.
Four hours later Sue gets up off of her track suit couch when she hears her doorbell ring.
"God damn it I'm coming!" Sue shouts throwing the door open on the fifth ring, she frowns when she sees Santana. "Santana what are you doing here?" she asks taking note that the twelve year old is starting to look like a good candidate for her Cheerios.
"Brett was supposed to come over, but he never came. Why won't you let him come over?" Santana all but yells at Sue.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down chica." Sue says trying to process what the small Latina just said. "Brett never showed up at your house?" she asks glaring at the Latina even though she knows the girl would never lie about something to do with Brett that is serious.
"No, I'm scared," Santana sobs now getting that Brett's really lost and throws herself into Sue's arms.
Sue freezes not knowing what to do. Her husband had been the touchy feely one, not her. She pats the Latina's back like she had seen Brett do before.
"It's okay Santana; we'll find that silly boy. He probably just got side tracked when he saw a squirrel or something." Sue says directing Santana to her La Car. "Do your parents know that you came over?" she asks.
"No they're at work." Santana softly says.
Sue shakes her head; she's never been fond of the Lopez parents always leaving Santana alone.
"Well as soon as we find that boy, you're coming over for dinner." Sue says shocking Santana.
Santana had been convinced that Sue hated her. Sue being so nice even with Brett missing is really confusing her.
"Okay," Santana shyly says not knowing what else she can say.
Sue hides a smile at how scared the girl is of her; it makes her feel good that she doesn't know that she actually likes her. All Sue wants is for Brett to be happy and this small fiery Latina does that so she actually likes her even if no one knows that.
"Hey, what's that?" Santana asks pointing at a bunch of people who are around a man hole.
"Oh god he didn't," Sue screeches the car to a halt and leaps out.
Santana confused as hell just follows.
"Brett Tristan Pierce! You get your ass up here now!" Sue shouts.
Not two seconds later Brett clambers out.
"Car now!" Sue shouts pointing at the car.
Brett scampers over to the car and Santana quickly follows hugging him when they reach the car.
"Brett what the hell," Santana harshly whispers slapping his arm then kissing his cheek and snuggling into his side. "You scared me."
"I'm sorry, but I had to save a cat." Brett says looping his arms around her.
"I'm sleeping over." Santana says into his chest.
"Okay," Brett says even though it isn't a question.
"Never do something like that again." Santana quietly says.
Sue turns around to head back to her car after yelling at the construction crew for leaving the man hole open. It's then that she sees her son cuddled up with Santana, her head on his chest. She shakes her head, one day they'll figure that they have feeling for each other, Sue thinks shaking her head.
End Flashback
"I was just trying to save a cat." Brett defends wrapping his arms around his wife.
"I remember," Santana whispers kissing right below his ear.
"Gross, I don't want to see any of that! Now go, I'm perfectly capable of watching the rugrats." Sue says ushering them out the door.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Brett, you didn't." Santana gasps as Brett pulls up to a skate park.
"That's right babe, I'm finally going to teach you how to skateboard." Brett says smiling helping Santana out of his truck.
"Do you even remember how to?" Santana asks snuggling into his side as he takes out his board.
"Yes, I do." Brett whispers kissing her lightly.
"So you're going to show up everyone else?" Santana innocently asks as the reach the edge of the ramp into the bowl.
"For you, of course." Brett says kissing her before jumping in.
Santana smiles as she watches Brett tarring it up. She can tell he's doing really well by the fact that everyone else has cleared the track for him and watching him.
"Way to go hot stuff!" some red head shouts.
"Why don't you come over here sexy." another girl shouts.
Brett glances over at Santana fully expecting her to be two seconds away from blowing up all over them, but she just appears to be perfectly calm. He finishes his run and stops right in front of her.
"That was so hot." Santana whispers pulling him into her.
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it." Brett says kissing the top of her head.
"I did, now are you going to teach me how to work this thing." Santana says looking at the skateboard.
"Okay babe since you want me to." Brett says laughing pulling her off to the side. "First, you need to get comfortable on the board." he instructs.
Santana slowly got on the board holding onto Brett's arm.
"You better not let me fall, these jeans are brand new." Santana threatens as Brett shows her how to stand.
"Babe I would never." Brett says as Santana figures out how to move.
"Oh god Brett!" Santana shouts smiling.
After an hour Santana can sort of skateboard on the flat surface and stop without falling which to her is a miracle.
"Next time we tackle actually going on the ramp." Brett says helping Santana into the truck.
"It's only been two hours," Santana pouts thinking that their date is over already.
"Yes and now we go to dinner." Brett says getting into the truck.
"So this is only part one." Santana says smiling.
Brett laughs taking her hand and kissing her knuckles.
"Babe when have I ever not taken you to at least two places on a date?" Brett asks.
"Never," Santana whispers.
"That's right and I'm not about to start now." Brett says smirking.
Santana snuggles as close to him as she can while he drives. She suspects that they will be heading to her favorite restaurant Breadsticks the San Diego branch. Little did she know that she actually is a part owner.
Flashback
"Mom, I need your help." Brett frantically says.
"For god sakes Brett it's two in the god damn morning. What could you possible want at this god forsaken hour?" Sue shouts in the phone pissed that her son has woken her from her amazing dream of winning a tenth straight national championship.
"I need you to help me set up a restaurant." Brett says.
"What?" Sue shouts.
"San misses Breadsticks, so I thought I'd open one here for her." Brett says hoping his mom will agree.
"Fine, but she can never find out that I helped in any way with this."
End Flashback
"Brett," Santana says smiling bashfully.
"Yes, baby, only the best for you." Brett says.
"Oh my, did you rent the whole restaurant?" Santana asks as the walk in.
"Well, actually I've been meaning to tell you-"
"Ma'am, it's good to see you again." the waiter says.
Santana blushes as they are seated at a very romantic table.
"Brett, you didn't have to do this." Santana says smiling at him like he's the best thing ever.
"Just think of this as a belated birthday present." Brett says taking her hands in his.
"Babe, you already gave me the best present by coming home alive and out of the Air Force." Santana says.
"San, we can't not celebrate you turning twenty-four even if it's four months overdue." Brett sweetly says.
"You're the best,"
"I think you'll like me even more when I give you your present." Brett says smiling.
Santana looks up at him with a twinkle in her eyes. This is what she loves most about him, his constant ability to surprise her.
"What is it?" Santana whispers.
"Look around," Brett says smiling as Santana looks around. "We own half of it."
"Brett," Santana gasps whipping away tears.
"We own half and my mom owns the other half. I know-" Brett's cut off by Santana slamming their lips together.
"This is the best thing you could have gotten me." Santana whispers as Brett pulls her into his lap. "How long have we owned this?"
"A year and a half."
"You built this for me?"
"Yep, I knew how much you missed Breadsticks."
"Why didn't-" Brett cut her off.
"I wanted to make sure it would be successful."
"Best Birthday present ever and best husband ever."

Santana snuggles into Brett's side as another blast thunders through the theater. For some reason that she now can't remember why she had convinced Brett that they should see Saw X. Worst mistake of her life. She knows that she won't be able to be alone at night for at least a week after this. Her only comfort is Brett's strong arms wrapped around her.
"We can leave if it's too scary." Brett whispers pulling her into his lap so she can hide her head.
"No," Santana muffly says from the crook of his neck.
"Babe, you haven't been watching since the first ten minutes." Brett says rubbing her back.
"But you like these movies and I just want to do something that you want to do." Santana whispers, hiding her face again.
"Sweetie, I'm more than happy to do what you want to. That's what makes me happy." Brett whispers.
Another loud sound echoes throughout the theater and Santana curls even more into him. So Brett decides that enough is enough and picks her up carrying her out of the theater.
"Sorry," Santana whispers nuzzling into his neck.
"It's oka-" Brett froze when he saw the last people he ever wanted to see.
"Brett!" Maria shouts walking fast towards him followed closely by Erica and Grace.
"Maria, Erica, Grace." Brett coldly says.
"I'm glad you're okay Brett. We heard about how your surveillance saved hundreds." Grace says smiling at him.
Brett closes his eyes taking a deep breath to forget all about it. How him almost dying actually saved so many.
"I have to say I was wrong about you and I'm sorry." Erica says looking at Santana.
Both Santana and Brett are really confused about what's going on.
"I'm sure that you're both not sure-"
"We've got to go," Santana shouts dragging Brett away as he had put her down a few seconds before.
