First of all sorry this took so long. And second I wasn't sure how I wanted to write this. Not sure if it turned out how I wanted but I will let you all judge for yourselves.

Epilogue

Three years later.

"Hey Puckerman." Santana said as she walked in the door of the bar.

It's a Saturday night the busiest night of the week. She doesn't really care what night it is. She just wants to work and get it over with. The only good thing though is that after Saturday is Sunday. And Sunday is a day off.

"Hey Lopez. How's it going?" Puck asked the woman as she approached him.

"Fine. I'm a little tired but it's nothing I can't handle." She told him. "How's that woman of yours?" She wanted to know. More out of curiosity than anything. They didn't usually talk about stuff like that but she needed to know.

"Fine." Puck shrugged his shoulders. "Ya know same old same old."

"Just fine. Not great? Wonderful? Fabulous?" She quirked an eyebrow at him. She wanted him to elaborate.

"Yeah fine. What do you want me to say? Everything is going good. Quinn and I are all good." He raised his arms to his sides his palms extended into the air.

"Ok. Just thought I would make sure. You haven't told me much recently. I wanted to check in after that thing that happened. I wanted to see what the deal was." Santana explained.

Puck bowed his head fully aware of what Santana was speaking of. "Yeah. Me and Quinn did go through a rough patch. I will admit that." He looked back up to the woman standing across from him. "But we are good now. We got everything sorted out. You don't have to worry."

"Well good cuz Brittany told me to invited you to Jake's birthday party next Sunday. You and Quinn."

A smile formed across Puck's face. "Uncle Puck wouldn't miss it for the world." He winked at Santana.

"I thought I told you to stop saying that. You're not technically his uncle." She scowled at him.

Ever since the kid was born Puck took it upon himself to be uncle Puck. To never miss the important parts of the new guys life. To always be there for the little guy.

"Whatever." Puck shrugged. He knew Santana didn't like it but he didn't care. "Little guys first birthday. It's gonna be great. Wait til you see what I got him." He smiled brightly at Santana. "He's gonna love it." He added.

"Am I gonna love it?" Santana rolled her eyes. She could only imagine what Puck would get her son for his first birthday. It would be like the man to get him a baby drum set or a bunch of noise making cars and trucks or something along those lines.

"Yes. You'll love it, don't worry."

"Ok. 12:30. Next Sunday. Our place." She instructed Puck. "Christ I can't believe my kid is one already. Where does that time go?"

"Time fly when your having fun." Puck commented. Santana nodded her head in agreement. She saluted Puck before she made her way to the back of the bar to her DJ booth.


"Hey babe. I'm home." Santana whispered as she climbed into bed beside Brittany.

"Mmm." Brittany hummed in response.

"How is the little guy?" The brunette asked. She had been at work for the last six hours and missed her son immensely. She knew that he was asleep and didn't want to disturb him so she had alone briefly looked into his crib before crawling into bed. "Did he go to sleep well?"

"Yep." Brittany said sleepily. "He's sleeping like a baby." She giggled after she said it. The term too funny, in her mind, not to laugh a little.

"Good. And how about you?"

"Well, I'm not sleeping like a baby." Brittany teased.

Santana moved about until her front was flush up against Brittany's back. Her arm moved to rest gently across the blonde's waist. "Are you trying to tell me that you would rather be asleep?" She placed a kiss to Brittany's neck, just below her right ear.

Brittany hummed out. "No. This is just as good." Santana kissed her again. "So how was work?" The blonde asked.

"Work is work. It was fine. A bit boring tonight. But I missed you and Jake." She nuzzled her face into Brittany's neck.

"Mmm. We missed you too." Brittany turned over so that she was facing Santana. She rested her forehead against the brunette's. "I missed you." Brittany said with a yawn.

Santana giggled and gave Brittany a peck on the lips. "Ok. Now go back to sleep. You're the one who has to get up early."

"But you have to get up too." Brittany argued sleepily.

"Yes but I don't have to go to work. You have to go teach. I just have to take care of our son." Santana reasoned.

"Yeah but still." Brittany yawned again.

"Shh. Just sleep baby. And wake me before you leave." The blonde nodded already drifting off back to sleep. Santana kissed Brittany on the forehead. "Sweet dreams my love." Santana closed her eyes and fell asleep shortly after.


The next morning came quickly. Brittany woke up to get ready for work. She leaned over and kissed Santana on the top of the head before turning her attention to the other side of the room. She looked over towards her son's crib.

The boy was standing at the side with his hands gripping the top of the railing to keep himself upright. He was barely tall enough to peek over the side of the crib. Which he was doing. It was his new favorite thing to do. To wake up and pull himself up and look around the room.

He was a patience child. He didn't cry out anymore when he awoke. He just waited for someone to wake up and feed him. Either Brittany or Santana always did. They all fell into a routine.

Jake stood there watching and waiting for someone to come and get him. He saw Brittany moving and started smiling and giggling.

"Hey baby." Brittany whispered as she made her way across the room. "Did you see that?" She asked equaling as quiet. She smiled brightly at him. "Did you see me kissing mama?" She reached out to pick him up. He reached up his little arm in anticipation.

Brittany lifted the boy out of the crib and slung him onto her hip. "Let's let mama sleep a little more before we wake her." She told the boy.

Brittany walked out of the bedroom closing the door softly behind her. She went to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee. "How about some breakfast?" Brittany asked as she opened the cupboard in front of her. She looked down at Jake's face. A delighted smile met her. The boy knew what she was doing. He knew where his food was kept.

She pulled out the baby food and set it on the counter. Then she looked around the apartment for the boy's bouncy chair. Once Brittany spotted it she brought it into the kitchen and lifted it up onto the table. She put Jake in it and went to prepare his breakfast.

Brittany came back over to the boy with her coffee and his food. Jake bounced up and down excitedly. She fed him his breakfast while sipping on her coffee. When he was done eating Brittany played with him for a few minutes. Making funny faces and tickling him to make him giggle. She thought it was the most adorable thing in the world. To see the boy laughing. And she wanted to see him doing it as often as possible.

"I wish I could play with you all day but mommy's gotta take a shower and go to work." Brittany sighed as she rose from her chair. She picked up the bouncy chair to move to the bathroom. The boy squealing with delight at the movement. "You like that don't you?" Brittany smiled down at Jake as she walked with him into the bathroom.

Brittany set him on the floor while she took her shower. She peeked her head out from the shower periodically to check and make sure that he was alright. When she was finished she got dressed and dried her hair. Jake watched her every move with interest.


"Santana." Brittany whispered in the brunette's ear. "Time to get up."

Santana rolled over onto her back and peeked one eye open at Brittany. The blonde was smiling down at her. "Good morning beautiful." Brittany said in a quiet voice before leaning down and kissing Santana firmly on the lips.

"Any time I wake up like this it sure is a good morning." Santana said with a cheeky smile. Brittany rolled her eyes at Santana. "What? It's true."

Brittany shook her head. "Okay. Even so. I have to leave for work now."

"But Britt-" Santana whined.

"But what?" Brittany shrugged her shoulder.

Santana closed her eyes and threw her arm over her face. "I wish you didn't have to go to work. That's all."

"We gotta pay the bill somehow."

"Yeah I know." Santana sighed. She removed her arm from her face and opened her eyes to look at Brittany. "So where's my boy?" Santana asked with a warm smile.

"He's in the living room. He's sitting in his bouncy chair under that mobile thing- playing." Brittany told her and stood up straight from where she was leaning over the bed.

"Okay. Let me pee and I will be right there." Santana sat up and got out of bed.

Both women walked out of the bedroom. Santana went towards the bathroom and Brittany going to the living room.

When Santana entered the room Brittany was bent over Jake kissing him on the top of the head. "I will see you in a few hours baby boy." Brittany kissed him again and stood up. She looked over when she heard Santana's footstep on the floor. The brunette smiled at her like that's all she knew how to do. "What?" Brittany asked slightly shy at Santana's intense smile.

"Just you. You with him. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, is all. I thought you were damn beautiful before but since we had him you are ten times more beautiful. Motherhood suits you."

Brittany looked over at Jake. "Thanks San. But-" A warm smile coming to Brittany's features. "I could say the same for you."

Santana took the last few steps between them and wrapped Brittany up in a tight hug. "Have a good day babe." Santana said before kissing Brittany goodbye.

Everyday went like that. Everyday that Brittany had to work she would get up and feed their son and get ready for work. Then she would wake Santana. She would let the brunette sleep as long as possible before waking her.

Santana would spend the day with Jake. Playing and taking naps. When Brittany came home they would all have dinner together. Spending as much time together as possible before Santana had to be at the bar at 8.

Brittany had cut her hours back at work. Only working Monday thru Friday. And having classes no earlier than 9am and always finishing in the afternoon by 5pm.


"Britt hurry up your parents are gonna be here any minute." Santana yelled to the blonde from the kitchen.

"Just give me one more second." Brittany shouted back. The blonde was in the bedroom trying to dress Jake. She was putting on his new shirt. A shirt that Brittany's parents had gotten the boy for his birthday.

"There." Brittany patted the boy on the stomach. "All ready to go." Brittany tickled Jake. "Ready for your birthday party?" She asked him. The boy giggled and giggled and giggled. "Ok then silly boy." She picked him up and rested him on her hip and made her way to the kitchen.

Santana spun around from the counter when she heard footsteps. She smiled at Brittany and then brought her attention to Jake. "Well don't you look cute today little man." Brittany stopped in front of Santana. The brunette gave Jake a kiss on the forehead. "I can't believe you are one already. It feels like just yesterday that I was bringing you and your mommy home from the hospital."

She looked up to Brittany. The blonde smiling brilliantly at her. "Right mommy?" Santana grinned before leaning in and giving Brittany a kiss.

"Right." Brittany nodded as they pulled away. "So Santana what did you make for dinner?"

"Mmm, chili." The brunette reached out for Brittany's arm. "Come here." She wrapped her fingers around Brittany's elbow leading her over to the stovetop. "I need an official taste-tester." She lifted a spoon and scooped some chili out of the pot. "Tell me how it tastes, honestly." She lifted the spoon to Brittany's lips and waited for the blonde to move her lips the few millimeters around the spoon.

Brittany wrapped her lips around the spoonful and pulled back. Nodding her head as she tasted the sample. "It's very good." She said licking her lips. "I believe our guests will like it."

"Good." Santana bounced up and down happily. "They better." She stepped forward and pecked Brittany on the lips. "I don't need any complaints on a day like today. Everything has to go perfectly." She spun around and returned to her pot of chili.

"You have no need to worry. Everything will be fine. It's just my family and Puck and Quinn afterall. I mean how could that go wrong?" Brittany shrugged.

Santana looked at the blonde over her shoulder. "I'm sure Puck will mess it all up somehow. He has a knack for doing that."

Bzzt. Bzzt.

Both Brittany and Santana spun there heads around to look at the door. Brittany looked back down to Jake. "Sounds like grandma and grandpa are here." Brittany took a step towards the door.

"No wait." Santana said halting Brittany's steps. "I'll get it." Santana made a move for the door.

"Santana they're my parents." Brittany followed Santana to the door. "I want to get the door."

"Shh." Santana hissed. "Who is it?" Santana spoke into the intercom.

"Grandma and grandpa are here to see their adorable grandson." Kathy's voice spoke through the intercom.

"I'll buzz you guys in. Come on up." Santana returned. She stepped back from the door and smiled at Brittany.

"Santana will you at least let me open the door for them." Santana shook her head. "Seriously. What is up with you today?" The brunette shrugged and looked down at the floor. "Here." Brittany continued. She knew what she could do. She held out Jake towards Santana.

The brunette looked up to see the child being held out in her direction. She couldn't resist. She took the boy from Brittany and wrapped him up in her arms.

"Works every time." Brittany smiled and winked at Santana. The Latina rolled her eyes at Brittany. She knew Brittany was right.

Next there was a knock on the door. Brittany stepped forward and pulled the door open. The warm smile took over her face at the sight of her parents and her little sister. Surprise shining in her eyes. "I didn't know Liz was coming." She glanced over to her side where Santana was standing. "Did you know?" She asked.

Santana shrugged. A guilty smile gave her away. "Surprise?" She giggled out.

"So that's why you were acting so weird." It made perfect sense to the blonde all of a sudden.

"Maybe." Santana said with a smirk. "But are you going to invite our guests in or just leave them standing awkwardly out in the hallway."

"Oh. Yes. Come in guys." Brittany took a step back for her family to make their way into the room.

Liz squeaked past her parents and flung her arms around Brittany's shoulders. Brittany was a little shocked at first but returned the hug.

The two had become closer over the last couple of years. The older Liz got the more they seemed to have in common. Then with Brittany getting pregnant it seemed that Liz couldn't get enough of her big sister.

Everyone laughed at the sight in front of them. "Hi Liz. How are you?" Brittany laughed out.

"Good Britt. Good." She pulled back and looked around. She spotted Jake amd took a step away from Brittany towards Santana. "How's my favorite nephew doing?" She asked booping him in the nose with her finger. He giggled and shook his head. "Happy, I can see."

Brittany hugged her mom and then her dad. They all exchanged hellos. Santana eventually handed Jake off to Liz to play with. The rest of them sat around the kitchen table making small talk.

"So is anyone else coming to the party today?" Kathy asked.

"Yeah. A couple of our friends. Actually they should be here by now." Santana spoke. "Maybe I should call them and see were they are at." Santana pulled out her phone from her pocket.

Kathy looked to Brittany. A confused look on her face. "Are they coming together?"

Brittany chuckled. "Yeah. They are actually a couple. Puck the guy that owns the bar Santana works at and my friend Quinn. You met her once, remember?"

"I think so. Short, blonde girl. Pretty features."

"Yeah that's her." Brittany nodded.

"Puckerman's not answering his phone." Santana said as she slide her phone back into her pocket.

"Well I'm sure they will be here-"

Bzzt. Bzzt.

"-shortly." Brittany finished.

Santana stood up. "We you let me get the door this time?" She crossed her arms over her chest and threw Brittany a challenging look.

"Go ahead babe." Brittany cocked her head to side and smiled devilishly back.

Santana turned around and went to answer the door.

"What was that about?" Brittany's mother asked.

"Oh it's nothing. I just tricked Santana into letting me open the door when you guys got here." She shrugged.

"What?" Her mother looked at her more confused then she was the second before.

"She wanted to answer the door but I was standing in front of it, ready to open it. And I had Jake on my hip sooo- I held him out towards her knowing that she would snatch him right up."

Her mother rolled back, in her chair, in laughter. "Oh that's funny." She managed to get out in between laughing.

"Yep. Worked like a charm. I knew she couldn't resist." Brittany smiled pleased with herself.

"What's so funny?" Puck asked stepping into the kitchen. "Oh hello." He said seeing Brittany's parents sitting at the table. "I'm Noah. Noah Puckerman. But most people call me Puck." He extended his hand to Brittany's mother.

"Hello Noah. I'm Kathy. Brittany's mom." She shook his hand.

"It's very nice to meet you. And you must be Mr. Pierce." Puck said extending his hand towards the man.

"That's me. But call me Tom, please."

"Great. It's nice to have some more male company around here." Puck joked. "Don't get me wrong I love my ladies but it's good to have another guy around. Even for a little while." Puck spun on his heels. "Speaking of lovely ladies." He extended his hand for Quinn to take. "This is my girlfriend Quinn." He announced to the room.

Quinn gave Mr. and Mrs. Pierce a small wave and a polite smile. "Hello. I think we've met once before."

"You are correct." Kathy spoke up. "It's nice to see you again dear."

"Likewise." Quinn looked around the kitchen. "So where's the birthday boy?"

"Yeah. Where's my boy?" Puck spun around in a full circle searching for the child.

Santana rolled her eyes. "He's in there playing with Brittany's sister Liz." She pointed to the other room.

"Ok. Thanks Lopez." Puck said over his shoulder as he made his way into the living room area. As soon as he spotted the boy a smile took over his face. "Jake." He called out in an attempt to get the child's attention. "Uncle Puck is here." He added when Jake turned to look at him.

Liz turned too. "Uncle Puck?" Who are you? You're not related to Santana. Are you?" She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Technically no. But I'm still Uncle Puck. Now let me have a turn." Puck kneeled down next to the boy.

Liz threw her head back and laughed. "Wow." She stood up and went to the kitchen.

Everyone turned to look at Liz as she entered the room. "That guy is crazy." She used her thumb to point back to where she had just come from. "Uncle Puck. Really?"

"That's just Puckerman. Let him be. He's a good guy." Santana told Liz.

"So now that everyone is here. How about we get my son's first birthday party underway." Santana announced.

"I agree." Brittany added with a delightful smile.

So there it is. The End. Thank you all for reading.
