"Another pose" The tall African American with long dark hair photographer instructed as he motioned for his assistant to change the background. Brittany stood beside Santana who held her hand while talking to the photographer named Allen." Something homier maybe" Santana suggested knowing her wife's preferences. Brittany watched as the small Asian assistant moved a small red couch right in the middle of the room and changed the scenery to just plain white. Brittany smiled liking this set." I am ready." The assistant announced catching both Allen and Santana's attentions. Allen put his hand up to his chin and tilted his head like he was in thinking mode. Santana looked over at the set before over at me catching my eyes asking me with her eyes if I approved. I smiled and nodded a few times she nodded a couple times back.
"I think it's nice and natural for the both of us." Santana stated. Allen agreed letting the women sit down and do what they wanted as he snapped away. After about twenty poses on the couch they got to take the cd of pictures home and look through them. They had to pick three before Friday which was in two days.
"Baby I'm starving." Brittany said patting her stomach." Ok, after I go say a quick hello to Michelle and the gang then we can go." Santana walked off leaving her wife standing in the middle of their changing room. Brittany rolled her eyes she knew she didn't have anything to be worried about or even jealous of, Michelle Olivia was straight and Santana and her were just good friends but she was and couldn't stop these nagging thoughts that kept popping up in her head. They had been back three days from New York and since then she has only gotten to spend time with her wife the night they arrived back home and then today. A beeping pulled her from her thoughts as she looked down at her phone it was Sarah the baby's nanny saying she was sound asleep and doing just fine. Brittany smiled knowing everything was just A-Okay with her baby and the nanny that Melinda says is amazing with their daughter could handle everything they asked of her. Looking around she really didn't know what to do, she didn't want to go see Santana fawning all over her costar like she had been seeing all over magazines lately.
It felt like hours what really was almost twenty minutes when Santana came and found her in the changing room just sitting looking at the wall." Hey B, why didn't you follow me out there? Everyone wanted to say hi." Santana explained making her way over to her wife." I thought it be better for me to stay in here those are your friends." Brittany said in a low voice." Brittany what's wrong?" Brittany shook her head." Nothing just tired it's been a long day and I'm hungry." Santana nodded a few times she knew there was more to this then being hungry and tired but she wouldn't push the blonde at the moment not here." Let's go eat then you can lay on my lap while we go through our pictures." Santana's eyes lit up excited.
Brittany was very quiet during lunch as Santana and the rest of the gang that just happened to show up at the same restaurant as they chatted about their time in New York. Santana had sent her wife a few side glances to check on her she really did look tired but Santana also saw something else in Brittany's eyes when Michelle spoke or leaned in to her to whisper something. Brittany didn't usually get jealous easy but this is what she saw in the blonde's eyes before Brittany looked away." Honey how is your chicken?" Santana asked leaning closer into her wife." Good, thanks." Brittany answered." Do you want to try some of my salad?" Brittany usually loved to steal her wife's food. Before Brittany had a chance to answer Michelle interrupted." I do. I have been dying to try their shrimp salad but haven't been able to." Santana watched as Michelle took her fork out of her hand and helped herself to her food. Brittany watched with wide eyes she didn't know they were that close." You can keep that fork now." Santana said appealed." Oh come on Santana it's not like we haven't shared utensils before." Michelle smirked as she turned around to talk to the rest of the group.
"She meant on set when our scene said to share a glass of water or feed each other." Brittany tilted her head still very quiet she nodded a couple of times before looking down at her own food. She wasn't hungry anymore so she pushed her plate a little back from the edge. Santana closed her eyes as she prayed to god Brittany wasn't pissed at her. Reopening them she found her wife's seat empty. Instantly she searched for the blonde with her eyes." She went into the bathroom." Jett said behind her." Thanks J." Santana said as she got up from her seat she made it to the bathroom. Walking in she instantly found her wife wiping her face off with a napkin from the dispenser." Baby? "Santana approached." Are you crying?" Brittany tried to look down but Santana was quicker and placed her finger under Brittany's chin making her look up at her wife." Hey talk to me Britt?" Santana pleaded. Brittany nodded. She didn't trust her voice she knew she would lose it if she had to talk.
"Why were you crying?" Santana was very worried. Brittany took a deep breath and hoped for the best as she opened her mouth to say something but the door flung open and in came Brittany's problem not realizing they were having a moment." San were all going to the dance club across the street, come with?" Michelle slurred already half drunk. Santana shook her head.
"Sorry Michelle I will see you tomorrow we have to get back to the baby soon. But you all have fun." Michelle smiled waved then exit the bathroom leaving the two alone again." I want to go home." Brittany said rather pissed now and not sad anymore." Britt, wait you didn't tell me why you were crying?" Santana asked as they made their way across the restaurant until they were back to their table." I just want to go home Santana." Brittany said firmly not wanting to talk about it.
The car ride was quiet other than the radio that was turned down but since there was no other noise it was heard. Santana hummed to a few songs but never sung the words. When they arrived back home Brittany rushed in and up the stairs to see their baby who was fast asleep. Sarah smiled looking up from her magazine." She was an angel like always." Sarah announced in a whisper." Thank you Sarah you can go now." Santana said as the woman nodded then gathered her belongings to go home." See you tomorrow." Sarah said before disappearing out the bedroom door.
"Good night my princess" Brittany stroked the little girls curly black hair then turned and left. Santana gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead before saying goodnight.
"Brittany now talk to me please?" Santana said sitting on the bed she watched her wife undress. Brittany turned around only in her bra and underwear which was very distracting to the Latina who could already feel the pool between her legs." I just really miss you Santana." Brittany was in tears now. Standing up Santana walked over to her wife and took her hands in hers." Baby what's all this about? I am here now." Brittany shook her head." Do you like Michelle Olivia more than a co-star?" There it was. It was out in the open, the thing that had been eating her up inside ever since Santana has left. She has seen so many pictures of the two in magazines and interviews making the two look very cozy." What? Why would you ask me that?" Santana was taken aback by her wife's question.
"I know the answer San, my mind is just overreacting to the pictures I've seen of the two of you and then tonight at dinner when she took your fork and fed herself from your plate I guess that made me really jealous. You're with this very attractive woman for some times sixteen hours a day sometimes more. I know I am not back down to my original weight and I got stretch marks-" Before Brittany could say another word Santana captured the blonde's lips. With as much love and passion as she could she put into this kiss Grabbing Brittany's behind Santana squeezed with as much force as she could to show Brittany just how much she wanted her pulling away only when oxygen was needed." I love you Brittany S. Lopez so fucking much, you my dear are the hottest person in the world and I want you no one else." Brittany cried harder." I love you Santana and I just want to be perfect for you." Santana pulled a few strands of blonde hair behind her wife's ear.
"Baby, you're perfect to me. I love your new curves and baby those stretch marks to me are beautiful because I know they're from the most special person to the both of us. Brittany Michelle is a close friend you know that and she is very STRAIGHT but even if she were a lesbian and had a very big crush on me I wouldn't even know because baby I am always thinking about you." Brittany listened now feeling foolish she had even thought about this whole thing in the first place." Brittany I tell you every day your beautiful and I know I haven't been around to say that and we haven't had are alone time since that night at the hotel but let me make this up to you. This weekend baby just you and me at the Lima again? No work, no friends or anyone else. I'll have Sarah stay the weekend here with the baby. Let me show you how much I love you?" Brittany didn't answer she let her kiss do that for her as she ran her fingers through her wife's hair." Thank you Santana." Brittany cried before giving her a few pecks on her lips." Can I show you how much I want you?" Brittany shyly asked. Santana wiggled her eye brows "Of course anything for you Britt."
By Friday they had three pictures they both agreed on for the poster. Number one option was one of the both of them on the couch Brittany had her head leaning on Santana's shoulder as Santana was kissing her head. Their fingers were intertwined and the picture showed off their wedding rings off perfectly. Brittany loved how simple it was. Santana loved how beautiful the blonde was in the picture. At first Brittany was tense in the shots but really came around towards the end and she let go on the couch shots. Allen loved their choices and defiantly agreed with Santana that their first choice was just perfect for the poster. She only had to run by the set for a couple of hours to shoot a scene where she was shooting a bad guy. Santana loved the action scenes and really enjoyed being that confident cop character. This season her character was defiantly more confident in who she was and also more challenged in a lot of different ways they were talking about a baby this season.
"Hey Santana how was your evening?" Jett asked as he began walking beside her." It was good the baby slept most the night so we actually got some sleep." Jett smiled." I don't miss the baby days." He said shaken his head remembering his daughter and son both." How are your munchkins?" Santana asked not seeing them around the set recently." Good they're very busy lately so I only get to see them when they wake for school or when they're off to bed." Santana shot him an apologetic glance." How is Brittany? I noticed she was very quiet the other night at dinner." Santana frowned a little thinking how upset Brittany had been last night." She just doesn't like how much I have been gone lately. It's always hard when we have to leave and do interviews and photo shoots." I understand that. Just make her feel special when you're around that is what I do with Carla and the kids. We were having some trouble when I was doing my first show and we almost spilt because the lack of communication. She was crying all the time and I didn't know why until I came home and she was packing up. That was the worse and best day of my life all in one." Jett confessed not liking to talk about that day."
The rest of the day Santana really took what Jett had told her and tried to think about what she could do to help Brittany. She would literally die if she came home to Brittany packing up all because they didn't have the communication needed to fix something small. Brittany was her everything and the baby she couldn't lose either one of them. Stopping by the store on her way back from the set Santana grabbed a dozen different color roses she knew Brittany would love and the biggest teddy bear she could find. She also grabbed a few things for the baby she found. Coming home Melinda was in the kitchen just finishing the dishes." Hola Melinda." Santana sung as she placed her bags down on the kitchen island." Hey Santana how was your day?" Santana showed her the flowers." It was good but excited to be home. Could you put these in a vase for me?" Melinda nodded." Very colorful flowers Santana." She smiled taken the roses." Yep just the way Britt loves them. Now where is that wife of mine?" Melinda pointed down with her finger." She has been down there almost all morning. The baby is upstairs with Sarah." Santana nodded taken the bear she made her way down to the basement where it was half Brittany's studio half the storage area." Brittany?" Brittany stopped dancing hearing her wife's voice." Hey baby." Brittany was about to say something else when she saw the teddy bear in her wife's arms.
"Is that for me?" Brittany asked looking down at the bear in Santana's arms before looking back up at Santana nodding as she smiled seeing her wife's eyes lit up." Thank you baby it's adorable." Brittany pecked Santana's lips." Anything for you" Santana whispered into Brittany's lips." You ready to go?" Brittany nodded as she wrapped her arms around her wife.
