Thank you all for sticking with me and reading this story :)
Two years ago
"Come on Britt pose with me please?" Santana begged as she stood in front an old big tree that made them look like ants just by standing next to them." I want to take a picture of you alone first." The blonde said getting ready to snap a picture on her phone but stopped as she saw the brunette walking over to her away from the tree." Why are you moving?" Brittany asked frowning now. Santana took her wife's hand and pulled her back to the tree with her." I should never be alone in a picture." Santana said taken her phone out of her pocket and holding it up and out in front of her wife and her." Now smile." Brittany didn't have to be told twice as she smiled for the camera. The next photo she placed a kiss on the Latina's cheek." There we have some pictures of us and this very old tree." Brittany announced before turning around and looking straight up." Wow this is crazy." Brittany commented not being able to think of any other tree she had seen this big in her life.
" If this thing was to fall that would be a very big job to clear this out." Brittany thought out loud." That is very true my wifey good thing we will be out of this park before that will happen." Santana said stealing a kiss from the blonde. "I hope." Brittany joked before hearing a whish of wind that made her practically jump on Santana who laughed at the blonde but was quick to hold her close to her." I got you crazy girl." Brittany stuck her tongue out at her wife but didn't make any move away from her." Ready to go back home today?" Santana asked kind of wishing the blonde would say no and they could stay longer here in New Mexico but she knew Brittany was going to be the responsible one and remind her of their life back home." We can come back and check on Mr. Hallow if you want when we both have some time." Brittany explained putting her finger on the brunette's pouting lips." Ok if we must." Santana dramatically sighed receiving a laugh from her wife.
Four years later
"Aunt S, Aunt S come quick Aunt B needs you." Santana began to run hearing the little boy say her wife needed her." Where is she little man?" Jacob pointed towards the back hall." She is in the bathroom." Jacob disappeared as Santana ran towards their downstairs bathroom." Britt, baby?" Santana asked concerned." In here San, Oh MY GOD!" Brittany shrieked loudly causing Santana to rush to her side." What is going on babe?" Brittany breathed in and out a couple times before turning to look at her wife." Pain, my water broke I can't breathe." Brittany started to panic." I am going to get you to the hospital Babe just hold on." Santana once she was sure she could leave Brittany alone for a minute rushed to their kitchen and grabbed the doctor's number off the bar." Jacob sweetie." Santana called looking for her nephew who had disappeared earlier." Yes Aunt S?" he asked running in." I need you to go sit by the bathroom door and if Aunt B says my name or starts to scream you come really fast and come and get me like a superhero." The little boy nodded understanding what his aunt wanted him to do. Once the boy was out of sight Santana called the university and demanded to talk to their doctor. Once she was done talking to doctor Williams Santana called Hayleigh and explained what was going on luckily they were on their way back to pick up Jacob.
"Britt can you walk for me baby?" Brittany held her stomach and shook her head crying." I can't do this San. I can't." Brittany cried louder as another contraction hit her." Sannn" Santana wrapped her arms around her wife kissing her on the top of her head." Baby I am here, just breathe." Santana prayed the contractions would give her wife a break but she knew that was highly unlikely." Pull me up." Brittany instructed when she could breathe again and Santana right away helped the blonde up to her feet. When Brittany was up right and looking straight at her she could see how sick her wife looked and that scared the shit out of her." She's not supposed to be here for another three weeks." Brittany voiced her concern." I know but baby babies usually have their own timeline as well." Santana tried to calm her wife down but she could see Brittany was at that point she was already over the edge." Something is wrong I know it." Brittany cried out causing Santana to hold her tighter." Let's go to the hospital Britt." Brittany and Santana waited until after another contraction hit her until they made their way down the hall way to the front door where Jacob held the door open not sure what to do." Thank you buddy." Santana forced a smile for the frightened little boy.
"OH my god Britt." Hayleigh cried excitedly behind the Latina and the blonde who was making their way to the car." Hayleigh opened the car door please." Santana asked while trying to keep Brittany from falling on the ground." Ok got it." Hayleigh opened the car door and watched as Santana helped her sister into the car." Honey please can you go lock their door and get Jake." Carissa nodded before rushing up the driveway to collect their son." Thanks Hayleigh." Santana hugged her sister-in-law." No problem get my sister to the hospital we will see you shortly. I'll call the family and friends." Santana thanked Hayleigh once again before she got in the driver's seat and took off.
"Brittany I wasn't expecting to see you here for another three weeks." Doctor Williams said as she checked the blonde who was crying silently on the emergency bed." Well your water did break and you're almost to four centimeters now so we defiantly have a baby coming. Her heart rates a little fast so I will do an ultrasound just to make sure everything looks ok but for right now I have to ask I know it says no pain medication in your file but have you changed your mind?" Santana looked over at her wife pleading with her with her eyes to take the medication she knew Brittany needed it." I want an epidural." Brittany cried out harder now but it wasn't for pain it was the fact she had wanted to do this childbirth natural but she hadn't experienced this kind of pain all at once ever." That is perfectly fine Brittany." Doctor Williams patted her knee." I will go order one and I will be back in shortly to do an ultrasound." With one glance over to Santana the doctor tuned and walked out of the room. Once alone Brittany put her hands over her face and started to cry in her hands. Santana sitting down as close as she could to the bed in her chair took both the blonde's hands and squeezed them tightly in her own." We are in this together Britt." Santana said feeling helpless at the moment that she couldn't take the pain away herself but she knew her wife was strong and could handle this.
" You are doing so good Brittany and soon we will get to meet our baby girl and I have you to thank for that." Santana added smiling lovingly through tears at her wife." You too San without you there wouldn't be a 'her' coming." Brittany commented back making sure Santana knew she was also a big part of what was happening at the moment. Santana shook her head." I love you so much Britt." Brittany nodded." Me too." Then another contraction hit her body causing her to squeeze Santana's hands hard Santana closed one eye cringing at the blonde's grip on both of her hands at the moment. She was sure she wouldn't have any hands left after all this was over to hold their daughter with if Brittany didn't get some pain relief soon." I am so proud of you Brittany for taken the epidural too I know that was a hard decision but I support you and it a hundred percent." Santana said as soon as she could talk. Brittany didn't say anything just stared at the ceiling for a moment." What if something is wrong San?" Santana shook her head." You heard the doctor everything seems good right now. Her heart rate is a little fast but baby you haven't been the calmest person tonight and how could you be? Baby, tell me what I can do to make you feel better?" Santana pleaded wanting to do something, anything at the moment.
" Just hold my hand I am scared." Brittany confessed even though they had been preparing since they found out Brittany was pregnant with books and going to those baby classes Santana found in their neighborhood this was it the day that all that knowledge came to play and Brittany did not feel like she had thought she would. Sure she heard it was the worst pain in the world when the baby started to come she just had never experienced anything like this in her life. Santana squeezed her hand." Then we will be afraid together baby." Santana said leaning over and kissing Brittany's already clammy forehead.
The doctor had come in wheeling an ultrasound machine with her. After checking she concluded the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby not the neck but the foot and she recommended a cesarean which Brittany had not wanted but hearing what was going on decided for. Santana nodded when Brittany looked at her for her input." Santana I'll need you to come with me after they give her the epidural I am sure you want to stay in here with her for that." Santana nodded firmly the thought of someone sticking something like that in her wife's back concerned her almost to the point she wanted to scream no don't do it but she knew it would give Brittany some relief and that is what she wanted as well for her wife." Ok I will come back after he comes in." Doctor Williams walked out and not too long the anesthetist came in and after a brief explanation of what he was going to do the nurse started to help Brittany up but she shrieked back and shook her head looking at Santana.
" I want my wife to hold me." The nurse nodded understanding and helped Santana pick Brittany up." Now Brittany I am working on your back here I want you to be completely still." Brittany nodded biting down on her lip she prayed she didn't get an contraction at that very moment." I feel a contraction." Brittany cried out. The man placed his hand on her back and encouraged her she was doing alright. After it had lightened up Santana held Brittany firmly as the doctor placed the epidural in. afterwards Brittany was laid back down on the bed and Doctor Williams came in as the man was leaving." Ok Santana will you follow me? Brittany we both will see you in the operating room." Brittany didn't want her wife to leave her and Santana could sense this but as she leaned over and captured the blonde's lips she tried to pass her message on through her kiss. Leaving with the doctor was the hardest thing for Santana to do at the moment she knew Brittany was frightened and that she couldn't stand to be alone." We won't be away from her too long dear." The doctor tried to comfort her on their way down the hall.
Brittany was already in the operating room with a blue looking curtain covering the bottom half of her body when Santana arrived with Doctor Williams." Hey baby." Santana exclaimed looking down at her wife. Brittany gave her a small smile really getting antsy now." Everything is going to be alright sweetheart give me your hand." Brittany gave Santana her hand and the Latina gave each knuckle a kiss before she held it between her two hands looking up at the doctor who nodded." We are going to start now. Santana just talk to Brittany and if she does fall asleep that is fine." Brittany looked wide awake now she didn't want to fall asleep secretly she was afraid she wouldn't wake again and she would never see Santana's face ever again or their daughter." Baby you're doing so good." Santana cooed in her ear as the doctor and nurse went and forth in conversation Santana tried to keep up with but she didn't know any of the medical language they were speaking.
Brittany's eyes felt heavier and heavier and she prayed god wouldn't let anything bad happen to her baby or her." Santana I am cold." Brittany said her teeth starting to chatter. Santana sat closer and pulled Brittany's blanket up to the blonde's neck covering her hand in her wife's under the covers." Santana placed her forehead down on Brittany's." stay up baby." Santana whispered trying to keep her wife with her." I am trying." Brittany answered back." Ok you do that." Santana smiled. Suddenly a cry filled the room and Santana's eyes instantly tear up." Congrats mamas a baby girl." Doctor Williams held up the baby who was very angry that she was pulled out of her nice cocoon." Brittany oh my god, look at her." Santana cried looking down at her wife who was looking just as teary at their baby girl." She's perfect San." Brittany cried feeling completely exhausted. Santana kissed Brittany's forehead over and over before she watched the nurse take their baby girl across the room to the baby station." Brittany you're going to fill a little pressure that's just us taken out the placenta. Everything looks good Hun." Doctor Williams explained as she continued to work on Brittany.
Santana refused to let go of her wife's hand although she wanted to go see what they were doing to their daughter to." Go San go see what they're doing." Brittany said giving her permission to go." No I am not leaving you they'll bring her back when they're done." Santana kissed Brittany's cheek just excited to finally be able to meet their daughter." All stitched up we are going to take you back to your room after your recovering time here." Doctor Williams explained a few other things before congratulating the women again and handing Brittany the baby. Santana took her phone out and snapped a couple pictures of Brittany and the baby before she wanted to hold the little girl she had been impatiently waiting for." Go say hi to Mami baby." Brittany said before giving the girl a kiss on the cheek and handing her to her wife." She has your hair San." Santana laughed seeing how dark the girls full head of hair was and she also had Santana's full lips and the shape of her eyes she could tell was hers but the skin color defiantly was from Brittany." Wonder what color eyes?" Brittany asked as Santana took in every inch of their daughter. When they had decided to go with a sperm bank Brittany wanted to carry Santana's eggs in her and get a donor that matched her description. Santana wanted the baby to look like the blonde but Brittany argued until Santana was in agreement with the whole plan. They found a man that was tall and had the physical traits as Brittany and their doctor inserted the eggs into Brittany who right away became pregnant to their astonishment.
Their family was shocked because the women hadn't shared they were even trying banking it would take a long time but everyone was thrilled to hear about the newest addition. Brittany had taught danced at her dance studio she named Lopez's dance studio which made Maria laugh and joke the Lopez's where taken over the city all the way up to she was seven and a half months when Santana won their argument that Brittany needed to relax and enjoy the last couple months at home resting. Brittany by nature wasn't really good at sitting still so during her nesting period she changed the whole room around making Santana almost faint when she came home and seen her almost eight month pregnant wife carrying a heavy lamp across their room after that she had someone come over and stay with Brittany just in case she felt like moving heavy stuff again. Brittany started spending a lot more time with Jacob which made her days a lot brighter seeing his little face around they play card games and trucks and watch sponge bob and blue's clues together every day. Brittany couldn't wait until their daughter was old enough to play with her cousin because she was going to have a blast learning from him. " Hey beautiful you gave your mommy and I quite a scare earlier but just seeing you and holding you in my arms totally makes up for it." Brittany laughed a little trying her hardest not to fall asleep she couldn't stop thinking about her fear of not waken up.
"Defiantly just like you Santana being six pounds even she is very petite." Brittany said trying to move a little but couldn't feel anything still." I am going to fall asleep San." Brittany said in a fearful voice that caught Santana's attention right away." What's wrong Britt?" Santana asked looking over the baby at her wife who had a frightened expression on her face." I don't want to sleep." Brittany confessed shaken her head back and forth." Baby, its ok you can rest we'll be here once you wake up." Santana said calmly." I won't wake up." Brittany said revealing her fear to her wife. Santana leaned down and took Brittany's hand in hers." You will wake up Britt, you're fine right here beside me and our daughter. Rest now your body has just gone through a lot." Brittany allowed sleep to overtake her hearing her wife say she was fine.
"Oh my God San she looks just like you." Her mother commented as she held the tiny baby and loved on her before Santana's father took a turn saying in Spanish how beautiful she was. The Pierce's had come in before them and next was Hayleigh and Carissa before their friends started piling in. when Brittany went to sleep the nurse came in and told her she needed to bath their daughter and that the waiting room was packed with people waiting to hear the news she went out to announce their daughter's birth and was instantly swarmed by people with questions. Santana answered them all mainly about Brittany and then asked who wanted to see the baby first. Since Susan's hand shot up first Santana escorted the Pierces back to the room where Brittany was still sleeping. Both adored the baby and asked if they had chosen a name yet which Santana shook her head." Waiting for mommy to be up and feeling better." Santana explained which everyone understood. Hayleigh was concerned for her sister as they walked in but Santana calmed her fears explaining she was alright just tired and that seemed to do the trick as Hayleigh and Carissa cooed over their new niece.
Carissa loved how both Jacob and the new baby had a full head of dark hair while their wives were bright blonde. Santana laughed along saying they were making their own little Latina half pierce army which made Hayleigh roll her eyes. After Rachel and Quinn came in with a big brown stuff bear for Brittany and a big pink bottle balloon for the baby the nurse said they were going to take Brittany back into her old room which made Santana relax a lot more because Brittany was going to be ok if they were letting her go back to the normal room. Brittany didn't wake until almost one in the morning the next day she had been that exhausted and slept all that evening." San, Santana?" Brittany called out concerned she didn't see her or the baby. Santana had been rocking the baby behind Brittany by the window when she heard her wife call her name." Hey sleepy head, how are you feeling?" Brittany looked around the room and then down at her stomach before she remembered what had happened. Looking up at her wife and then to the small face that was asleep in her wife's arms Brittany's heart melted." Wow Santana." Brittany cried seeing how perfect their daughter was." I know she is perfect Britt." Santana complimented back.
"Do you want to hold her?" Brittany nodded as Santana placed the little girl in her wife's arms." Be careful of your stomach Brittany they stapled you up so you're going to be in pain in that area until it heals." Brittany slightly nodded taken in what her wife was talking about. Brittany giggled seeing the girl's dark eyes they were a little liter than her wife's but still the same shape and it made her heart just burst with pride looking down at her in her arms." Everyone wants to know her name mommy." Santana announced had been thinking of the list of names they had made up but weren't sure about until they met their daughter." She doesn't look like any of the names we picked dear." Santana announced running through the list in her head one more time as she looked at their daughter in her wife's arms." No she doesn't." Brittany agreed. "When I was asleep I kept hearing someone yell out Alana."
Santana looked down at her daughter as she said the name over and over in her head." Perfect B, Alana Cristina Marie Lopez." Santana said putting both their mothers' middle names together. Brittany's eyes lightened up." I love it San she'll even have your middle name too." Santana's smiled widened not thinking of that." Hello little Alana." Santana greeted her for the first time with her name. Alana smiled making both of the women awe.
" Thank you Baby for her." Santana Leaned over and kissed Brittany on the lips again thinking her for waiting for her to figure out her crap, saying yes to be her girlfriend officially and for saying yes to marry her and doing it and for giving her the most precious baby girl in the world. The kiss meant a lot more than that though it meant "thank you for being mine."
