Santana opened the door to the den and saw her mother sitting on the couch staring straight ahead. She walked over and sat down beside her mother. She wasn't sure if she was angry at her mother for reaction to finding out Andrew was the sperm donor or if she was confused by her reaction. Santana did know one thing for sure and that was she needed to keep her tempter under control with her mother because she didn't want this it end up in shouting match like a lot of their discussions used to when she a teenager. Santana had inherited her mother's temper. She hoped Collin had inherited that from her. "Mami, please say something."

"Santana, I don't know what to say. I'm in shock."

"Do you want to go get Papi to check you over?" Santana's tone was full of sarcasm.

Maribel looked at her daughter and shook her head because of the sarcastic tone. "I just don't understand how this happened."

"That's because you think with your brain and not your heart." Santana knew that response would get a rise out of her mother but it was true and she had to say it.

"Maybe you should go get your father so he can explain to you how the brain is for thinking not your heart Santana."

"Mami, I just mean this situation is one of those things that happens in life that their no possible way to explain it logically. It was just meant to be it was fate."

"How well did you research this doctor before you chose him?"

Santana was confused by her mother's change of subject and question. "What does my doctor have to do with any of this?"

"Well, you said he is Brittany's doctor too and her brother just happened to donate sperm at the same place. You met Brittany on the day you were inseminated. Need I say more!"

"Oh my God mother you are not suggesting there was a sperm conspiracy! You have been watching too much daytime TV. I can't believe your mind even went to such a crazy place! There was no conspiracy between the doctor, Britt, and Andrew. If you are going to continue reacting this way this conversation is over."

Maribel realized she had probably let her imagination get the best of her. "Ok, I'm sorry you're right it was a crazy thing to think but I just don't understand how this could happen. It's unreal Santana."

"Don't you think I felt the same way when I first realized Andrew was the donor? But once I talked to Quinn and then told Brittany about it I embraced the situation for what is it and that's a miracle. Mami, that little baby out there in Papi's arms is part Lopez and part Pierce just the way he should be. A lot of couples use friends and relatives for their sperm donors and sisters are surrogates for sisters. We didn't plan it this way and I doubt if Brittany and I had been together and decided to have a baby we would've asked Andrew to be the sperm donor but it happened because it was meant to be that way."

Maribel had calmed down after Santana's little speech. "What about Andrew? Have you and Brittany thought about how this is affecting him? It can't be easy for him to look at Collin and know he is the father of that little baby."

"But Mami he's not Collin's father, he's Collin's uncle. Yes, he was the sperm donor but that doesn't make him Collin's father. Collin doesn't have a father he has two mothers who love him more than anyone else in the world. I know the whole lesbian parenting idea is difficult for you to understand."

"Despite what you think mija I don't have a problem at all with you being a lesbian and having a family with Brittany. I just am worried about how this is going to affect Collin and Andrew as time goes by. What if Andrew decides he wants to be Collin's father? And what are going to tell Collin the day he asks why he doesn't have a father?"

"First of all Andrew would never do that to Brittany or Collin. Second, I'm not naïve I know the day will come when Collin has questions about having two mothers and not having a father. Britt and I will be ready for when that day comes. We had already talked about stuff like that even before we knew Andrew was the donor. I don't want miss living in the present because I'm so busy worrying about the future."

"You and your father and those damn phrases you make up. I know that you finally realize how much I love you because you have a child now. I just want you and Collin to be happy, healthy, and safe."

Santana hugged her mother. "I know Mami and believe me I am the happiest right now than I've ever been before in my entire life. Britt makes me happy and being Collin's mother makes me happy. "

They heard a cry just outside the door and then someone knocking. Santana opened the door to see Carlos standing there with a crying Collin. "I think he's hungry."

Santana took Collin and calmed down just being in his mother's arms. "I'm going to go nurse him and then we can hopefully start the barbecue. Are Britt and Andrew still talking to Linda?"

Carlos nodded his head yes, "But look on the bright side I haven't heard anyone yelling coming from the kitchen. So is everything ok between my two favorite girls now?" Carlos looked at Maribel and then at Santana.

Santana and Maribel looked at each other and both "Yes" at the same time.

Carlos kissed Santana on the cheek and then whispered in her ear, "I know I'm a softie and a romantic but I think everything that has happened with you and Brittany is meant to be. There's no other explanation." Santana didn't say anything she just kissed her father's cheek.

Brittany and Andrew sat at the kitchen table with Linda and no one had said a single word since they had all sat down five minutes ago. Brittany knew someone had to break the ice so she decided she would be that someone. "Mom, what are feeling and thinking right now?"

"I'm just trying to process the bomb that was just dropped on us."

Brittany put her hand on top of her mother's hand that was lying on the table. "I know this is a lot for you to think about and try to understand all at once. When Santana told me about Andrew being the donor at first I couldn't believe it but after I got over the initial shock I embraced it. Of course I was worried about telling Andrew but I had a feeling he would be ok with it because he would be happy for San and me." Brittany looked at Andrew and he knew she wanted him to tell their mother how he felt.

"Mom, when Brittany and Santana told me last night I was in shock too just like you are now but once I thought about it I was happy that my sister's son was born because of me. I wanted to help Brittany and like I said earlier I indirectly I helped her become a mother. Santana didn't have to choose me as a donor but she did and to me that just shows that it was meant to be."

"Andrew sweetie I'm worried about you and how this will affect you once some time as passed and you've really had time to think about it. You are Collin's father." Linda's voice cracked with emotion.

"Mom, I'm not Collin's father. I'm the donor who made his birth possible. Before I could become a donor I had to go and see a psychologist to make sure I was capable of handling what being a donor actually met. When I signed the forms to become a donor I was giving up any rights to a child being born using my sperm and that I'm not the child's father. I'm Collin's uncle not his father."

Brittany could tell her mother was still in shock, "Mom, take some time and think about this and we can talk more later ok? Santana and I know some day we are going to have to explain to Collin why he has two mothers and no father. We have talked about it and done research online. Everything is going to be ok. Collin is your grandson."

Linda had tears running down her face, "Ok, I think I do need some more time to think about all of this. Andrew, I want you to promise us that if this get's to be a too much for you at any time that you talk to us."

"I will Mom. Santana and Brittany already told me I could talk to them if I need someone to talk to but I'm going to fine really."

Brittany got up from the table and hugged her mother. "We'll understand if you don't want to stay for the barbecue. Dad has been quiet and I'm worried about him."

"We will stay for the barbecue. Maribel has gone to so much trouble cooking. Besides I want to spend more time with my grandson. I have a feeling since your father is ok with everything or he would be in her with us talking about it but it would probably be a good idea for you to check on him."

Brittany walked into the living room and saw her father sitting there all by himself. "Where's Carlos?"

"Collin started crying so he just took him to Santana. I think the little was hungry."

Brittany sat down in the chair next to her father. "Yeah it's time for him to nurse. Dad, you've been awfully quiet about all of this. What are you thinking?"

"I won't lie at first I felt like I was dreaming or something but once I got my thoughts together I thought how great it is that Collin has our family DNA. I'm just worried about Andrew and your mother too?"

"Dad, Andrew will be fine and he knows if he needs to talk or anything we are all here for him. I think mom will be ok too. I told her we could talk some more after she's had time to think about things. I told her that you two didn't have stay for the barbecue but she said she wanted to stay to spend time with your grandson. I'm going to go check on Santana and Collin."

"Sweetie, I just want you to know how happy I am for you and Santana. Collin is a special little boy."

"Thanks Dad." Brittany hugged her father and went to the bedroom to check on Santana and Collin.

Brittany walked into the bedroom to find Santana sitting on the bed nursing Collin. She was always in awe watching Santana breastfeed their son because the bond between the two of them was a beautiful thing to witness. Santana was watching Collin so intently that she didn't even hear Brittany come in the room. She didn't look up until she felt the bed dip down when Brittany sat down on it. "Hey" Brittany said softly as she stroked her hand gently through Collins wavy hair. His hair was amazingly soft.

"Is your mother ok?" Santana asked as she watched Brittany stroke Collin's hair.

"Yeah, she seems to be ok now. It was a lot for them to process. She's worried about Andrew but he told her he is ok. We talked about Andrew being the donor doesn't make him Collin's father. I think she will be ok once she has time to think about it more. I told her that they didn't have to stay for the barbecue but she said she was staying to spend more time with her grandson and also because your mother has spent a lot of time cooking. How did it go with your mom?"

"My mom was in shock too at first but after our talk she seems ok too. We had the talk about Andrew not being Collin's father too. My father is ok with everything. He thinks it's all meant to be. What about your father he just sat there kind of in a daze?"

Brittany helped Santana switch breasts before answering, "My father's ok and said he's happy for us. Like my mom he's worried about Andrew. You know I think everything went ok considering the huge bomb we dropped on them to quote my mom."

"I think so too. Are you ready to burp Collin he is starting to fall asleep so he must be full."

"If it's ok with you I think I'll see if my mom wants to burp him." Brittany hated to give up her time with Collin but she felt her mother could use some bonding time with Collin. Maribel had been spending time with him since he was born.

"I think that's a great idea Britt and remember you don't have to ask my permission because Collin is your son too."

Brittany got up from the bed and kissed Santana on the lips. "I'll go get my mom and be right back."

Linda sat in the rocking chair gently rubbing her grandson's back as Brittany and Santana watched. Santana leaned and whispered in Brittany's ear, "How about we give her some alone time with Collin?"

Brittany nodded her head, "Mom, we are going to go see how everyone else is doing. If you need anything just let us know." Linda nodded her head.

Santana and Brittany were walking down the hallway towards the living room when Santana suddenly pulled Brittany into the den. Before Brittany could react Santana's lips were on her lips. The kiss was passionate as Santana tongue ran along Brittany's bottom lip. Santana's hands were on each side of Brittany's face as she pulled her closer and closer into the kiss. Finally they both needed air and pulled away. "WOW, San what was that for?"

"I'm just so happy and wanted to kiss you."

Brittany laughed, "That was more than just a kiss. You are so lucky we can't do anything but kiss right now because I would be asking everyone to leave the barbecue so I could make love to my beautiful girlfriend." Santana looked away from Brittany. "Hey what's wrong San?"

"You said my beautiful girlfriend? It just reminded me that not long ago I was your fiancée."

"Sweetie please look at me. (Santana looked into Brittany's eyes) Someday and hopefully sooner than later you will be my fiancée again. Our rings are in your jewelry box together where they should be just waiting for the day we are ready to put them back on. Let's take it one day a time. We've come so far in the past week let's keep going until we are ready to wear those rings again."

Brittany kissed Santana and this kiss was passionate but not has hurried and rough as the previous one. "I love so much Britt."

"I love you too San. As much as I don't want to I think we need to get the barbecue started. Quinn, Puck, and Sugar should be here by now.
