Chapter 25

|After the Softball Game|

Brittany's P.O.V

Quinn, Puck and I made small talk and finished watching the game. Puck texted and asked where we were and came up there. Quinn surprised me and Puck, I knew I thought she fit in when I saw the look in her eyes as she watched Santana, but she blew me away. She was calling out plays and telling me what pitches Santana should throw, she could read the batters by watching them swing when they were on deck. She even got Santana's attention to call a pitch. She may not belong on the field, but she could coach. The game ended and Santana's team won by one run.

"How did you know all that?" I turned to ask Quinn.

"Know all of what?"

"Which pitches to call."

"You are a catcher aren't you?"

"Yeah, but that's not the point."

"You can call the pitches and so can I. Santana is my best friend. I never missed a game, even when her parents did, I was there. I was there most of her practices as well. She has been serious about this since tee ball. I wanted a way to contribute when I was younger, so I studied her and her opponent. She needed help on improving her game and I helped."

"So, I have you to thank for my girlfriend being awesome is what you are trying to say?" I asked teasingly.

"Actually, that is exactly what I'm saying." She said seriously as she was watching Santana grab her stuff and talking to Bianca. I shot a glance at her. She was really that serious about it. She shot me a glance back and started laughing. "I may be cocky sometimes, but Santana is 'awesome' as you say all on her own."

Santana walked up to the bleachers where we were sitting and smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Good game San, although I think without me you are slipping a little bit." Quinn teased.

"Suck it Quinn, you know I'm badass." She turned back to me and held her hand out for me to come to her. I started sliding off the bench and when I got to the bottom I stood up to jump down in front of her, but when I did I felt a sharp bolt of pain up my leg and I almost fell, but luckily Santana had good reflexes and caught me, sitting me on the bleacher.

"What happened B?" Bianca asked.

"Nothing, I just landed wrong." I said trying to standup. I tried to take a step and felt the jolt of pain running through my ankle and up my leg.

"Sit down now." Santana demanded. I looked up at her defeated and sat down. She pulled my shoe off and I tensed up. This hurts so much. She pulled my sock off and my ankle was swollen pretty bad and it was turning colors. I knew my ankle was hurting, but I was determined to put it out of my mind. I was a softball player, getting hurt happens, you just get over it.

"Has this been hurting since you got off the field?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, but it's not a big deal."

"Umm, yes, it kind of is. It could be broken, you can't walk on it. I'm taking you to the emergency room."

"No, you aren't, I'm not going." I said crossing my arms, pouting, and glaring at her. I must have looked like the biggest kid, but I didn't care. I didn't want to go. Nope, nuh uh, was not happening.

"You can look adorable and argue with me, but you are going." She said leaning down and kissing me on the nose.

"Come on Blondie, grab a shoulder." Puck said standing on the other side of me trying to get me to hop while holding onto them. I stood up and grabbed their shoulders and we started walking toward the car.

"We can take mine." Santana offered.

"Ok, this is not working, don't hit me for this." Puck said looking down at me before bending me down and scooping me up in his arms. "I never thought I'd get you this close." Puck said winking at me and laughing. I glared at him and hit him in the shoulder, looking over at Santana. She just looked away and ran over to unlock her doors. Puck sat me down in the passenger seat and I looked up in time to see Santana hit him really hard in the arm.

"And that is for hitting on my girlfriend."

"Ouch, calm down, you know I was playing San." Puck yelled rubbing his arm. He turned around and ran into Quinn. They both froze looking at each other and mumbled some apologies. Did Puck just blush? Wait, whoa, Puck didn't blush. He was man-whore extraordinaire. Was that a shy smile I saw coming from Quinn? What was going on?

"Quinn, I'm pretty sure this is going to take a while so, Puck can you drop her off at my house please?" I saw Pucks eyes shift between Santana and Quinn.

"Umm, yeah, I can." He said looking at Quinn. "Come with me, my trucks over here." He said and walked past her and stopped for her to walk alongside him. Santana got into the driver side and started the car.

"Do you know what you just did? " I asked Santana.

"What do you mean what I just did." She asked as the puts the car in reverse and then back into drive.

"They so like each other."

"Well, good for them, I'm worried about your ankle."

"But, what about your friend."

"They are both my friends and they can handle themselves." She said and turned on the music.

We pulled into the hospital and she refused to let me walk. She ran inside and got a wheelchair to roll me in, which I completely tried to object to.

| Three hours, one x-ray, and some pain medicine later|

Santana's P.O.V

"Well, Ms. Pierce, looks like you have a fractured ankle, we are going to put a splint on it for a few days, until the swelling goes down and we can put a cast on it."

"Ok, thank you Dr. Stamos." Brittany said sitting up on the hospital bed looking pitiful.

"I'll go get that for you, be right back."

He left the room and I stood up and walk over to her. "Are you hurting baby?"

"A little, but not much, the meds are working."

"Well what's wrong?"

"I . . . I don't want to wear a splint, or get a cast. I'll look funny." She said looking down.

"It's ok babe, I'll love you even if you do look funny." I said hitting the end of her nose and making her scrunch her face. She was so cute when she did it. I leaned in and gave her a soft kiss and went back to sit down.

"But, Santana." She pouted.

"Yes?"

"Come back." She said pointing to the floor beside of her. I stood up and complied dragging my feet, slowly walking over to her. She pulled me down by my shirt and kissed me, not the short sweet kiss I gave her. She deepened it. Our lips meeting each other's in a slow passionate rhythm.

I hear someone clear their throat and jump back, rose color immediately filling my cheeks. "Sorry" I mumbled as I went back to sit down.

"Here, I'm going to put this splint on you, and in three days you need to come back in for a cast. Your ankle is not showing any displacement, but it could easily displace if you don't take it easy. The nurse is about to bring you some crutches. As much as you can, I want you to keep it elevated above your heart and keep some ice on it as much as you can."

Dr. Stamos finished putting her splint on and the nurse brought Brittany her crutches. We were finally released and I helpped Brittany get out to my car. We drove to her house and I grabbed her softball bag as she got out of the passenger seat and grabbed her crutches. I walked behind her up her porch and into the door. When we got to the stairs she looked up defeated, but then quickly tried to change her face. Every time I had been here when we go up the stairs, Brittany ran up them with childlike energy. I looked over at her as she sighed and started to place her good foot on the step to pull up. I reached out and grab her arm to stop her.

"Here, jump on." I said turning around to offer her my back.

"No, you are going to drop me."

"Brittany, you do this after every game, am I really going to drop you now? Nope, I don't think so." I said in a sing song voice to make her laugh. She finally jumped up and I reposition her. She wrapped her arms as tight as she could around my neck and kissed my cheek, as I carried her up the stairs. We got to her room and I opened the door, walked to the bed, turned around and tried to drop her on it, but when I let my arms go, she clung to my neck and pulled back forcing me to fall on her. We hit the bed and I fought to get off of her in fear that I was hurting her, but she held tighter until I stopped moving. When I stopped struggling, she loosened her grip just enough for me to turn over on top of her.

I put my arms on either side of her and held some of my body weight off of her. I stared into her bright blue eyes and immediately lost myself. I could still remember the feeling I felt the first time I ever locked eyes with her. Simple sweet moments like that brought all the reasons I loved her rushing at me. If I could I would spend all day being in her presence, close to her, and looking into her eyes. We started inching closer to each other until we were millimeters apart. We stopped and kept staring at each other. It was like a game we played. Who could resist longer. Usually I won this one, just barely though, but today I couldn't, I closed the gap and kissed her with so much passion.

We kept kissing and I grabbed her hurt leg and lifted it up to my side, that way she didn't hurt it while I was trying to move us up further on the bed. She tangled her hand in my hair and we continued to kiss. I was holding myself up on my right hand and cupping her face with my left. As for her, well, her hands were just roaming. I was definitely not objecting. I loved the feeling of her hands on me. For some reason, her hands always ended up on my ass. My baby was an ass woman . . . yep, I thought so. She pulled me closer and about this time my phone decided to vibrate in my front pocket.

"Whoa" Brittany said as she jumped and hits her ankle against me. "Ouch" She yelled bringing her knee up to hold it. "Ok, I was not expecting that." She laughed through her pain. I roll off her quickly.

"Me either, didn't help the situation." I said, upset there was an interruption and yeah the vibrating didn't help in the heat of the moment.

"What was that baby?" She asked teasingly. I glared at her and pick up my phone Quinn was calling.

"Hello"

'Hey San, you have been gone forever and no one is cooking tonight."

"Well, get Raquel to take you somewhere, I'm kind of busy."

'What are you doing San? Isn't she hurt?'

"Has that ever stopped anyone?"

'Yes' She said seriously. 'Puck just told me to tell you that all of us can go out to eat.'

"Puck? Q where are you?"

'Umm in bed why?'

"Puck is there?"

'Yeah'

"Get that out of my bed now. I don't want that happening in my bed."

'Santana' She yelled at me. I heard her shuffling around. 'You know first off that I wouldn't do that to you and secondly you really think I'm that big of a whore? That's fucked up San.'

I could tell I hurt her feelings, I really didn't mean to I was playing, but when she got that defensive it meant she really liked the person. "He's a great guy isn't he Q?"

'Yeah, he is. We have been talking ever since we got home.'

"That's great, I'll talk to Brittany, but I'm sure we can all meet up and go out to eat, give us two hours. I'm going to hop in the shower here if I can."

'Ok, I'll tell Puck, thanks San.'

"Anytime baby girl." I hung up the phone and looked at Brittany.

"Can I use your shower and all of us go out to eat?"

"Umm, I kind of need one too." She said looking down and then smirking at me.

"Ok, you go first. I'll help you get your splint off and ill run bath water because you can't stand on it." She pouted and tried to turn away from me. I pushed her face back toward me and gave her a quick playful kiss. I ran downstairs and out the door to grab my spare duffle bag out the trunk, her softball bag, and on the way in I grabbed her crutches taking them upstairs. I went and started her bath and she told me what all she wanted and where to find it. I swore she told me to get the lacy underwear to tease me. I helped her get up and into the bathroom. I went to lay on the bed until she got out. I helped her get back onto the bed. I propped her foot up and ran downstairs to get ice, wrapped it up and put it on her ankle.

"Thank you" She said as I was headed to take a shower.

"For what?" I asked. That was random.

"Taking care of me"

"That's what you do for the person you love. I'll take care of you as long as you let me baby." I went back to kiss her forehead and went to take a shower and get ready to go eat.
