Thank you all for the lovely reviews :D I love getting mails from FF!
Jammy: Don't worry, Liberty is completely healthy! Quinn on the other hand... And ps: yes, my birthday is July 1st!
And thanks to Pensieri for helping me out a bit :)
I don't own anything!
xo, Em
The doorbell was ringing like crazy and Santana was amazed that Liberty didn't wake up, but she didn't want to take her chances when she'd just gotten her down to sleep so she ran towards the door and threw it open.
"Sannie!"
Two sets of arms were thrown around her and she was engulfed in a big hug.
"How's it going mama?"
"It's going great, but if you had woken Liberty just now I would have killed you and hid your bodies in the back yard."
Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Like you'd be able to do that, there's two of us and one of you!"
Brittany smiled and shook her head.
"She clearly doesn't have a child! Rach, when you're a new mom you'll do just about anything to keep your baby from crying. San could easily have killed us, and besides she has Quinn too!"
"Exactly. Now come on in!"
They entered the house just as Quinn came down the stairs and she hugged them tightly.
"I've missed you guys so much, I'm so glad you're here."
Both Rachel and Brittany couldn't stop staring at Quinn; they were both completely checking her out.
"Uhh, guys, that's my wife you're checking out…"
Rachel snapped out of it, but B continued staring.
"Damn Q, are you sure you had a baby?"
"What do you mean, B?"
"Liberty's only a month old and you already look better than you did before her. It's not even funny. Mike's over a year old and I'm not even fully back to my pre-pregnancy body."
Quinn giggled and started making them all coffee.
"Oh please, you're just saying that to be nice."
Rachel checked her out one more time before shaking her head. Quinn was wearing a pair of very tight jeans and a tank top. It was easy to tell that she was indeed very toned.
"We're definitely not. How on earth did you lose that weight so fast?"
Quinn looked at them and shrugged.
"I haven't really done much. I breastfeed, or pump and I go running."
Brittany shook her head slowly and accepted the cup of coffee Quinn handed her.
"So not fair."
Rachel noticed the pacifier on the table and suddenly remembered why they were here in the first place.
"I want to see the baby!"
"Oh, me too, me too!"
Santana grinned.
"I was wondering when you'd ask. Can you go get her babe?"
Quinn bit her lip and nodded.
"Yeah. Sure. Okay."
She quickly left the room and made her way upstairs and into her own bedroom where Liberty was sleeping in her basinet. They had a big crib in the nursery, but weren't completely comfortable with her sleeping completely alone yet, so they had a small basinet next to their bed too.
"There are some people here to meet you. They've been waiting for a really long time, and they're really excited."
Quinn stopped talking as soon as she realized that she was talking to this one month old as if she was an adult, so she just picked her up slightly awkwardly and hurried downstairs.
"Who want to hold her first?"
"Me, me!"
Brittany bounced off the chair and carefully took the sleeping baby into her arms.
"Oh God, she's so small and cute. She's tinier now than Mike was when he was born. You did such a good job Quinnie! She looks so much like you."
"I think she's a copy of her mommy. I used to think Beth looked like Quinn, but after seeing Libby she's looking more and more like Puck."
Brittany was holding Libby while Rachel was watching them and gently holding out her pinky, which Libby grabbed onto in her sleep.
"God I want a baby."
Santana wrapped her arms around Quinn's waist and rested her chin on her shoulder from behind.
"You should wait a little Rach, you're doing so good on Broadway! You don't want to throw all of that hard work away so soon."
"You're right. I'll just visit B or you guys more often."
Britt was staring at the baby as if she'd never seen one before. She thought Liberty was so cute that she just couldn't look away.
"Damn, I feel my ovaries stirring. Can I take her home with me?"
"We said no to Taylor and she lives closer, so we'll have to say no to you too."
"I'll have to suggest to Mike that we should move here too. I don't think I can ever let her go."
Rachel looked at her.
"Well you're gonna have to, it's my turn to hold her."
With a sigh she handed the baby over to Rachel, but that didn't mean she was going to stop staring at her.
"You two, since you're already creeping at our baby, mind watching her while we take a bath? We haven't had any alone time together in ages and we just want to relax a little bit."
Both girls nodded absentmindedly and Quinn and Santana hurried upstairs before they could change their minds.
"Finally, some alone time with my beautiful wife."
Santana wrapped her arms around Quinn and kissed her deeply while they waited for their tub to fill up.
"They're right you know, you look incredible. I can only dream that I'll look that good too after having a baby."
Quinn grinned and pulled her in close again, so their lips were almost touching.
"I want to look good for my wife."
She crashed their lips together again and they made out until Santana remembered the bathwater and she pulled back and quickly turned it off. They were already undressed so Santana stepped in carefully and held out her hand to Quinn. They sat down with Quinn's back against Santana's front and relaxed.
"Who would have thought simply taking a bath would be such a privilege?"
Quinn giggled and snuggled into her wife's arms even more.
"This feels so good. It's as if our body's been working on overdrive without us noticing."
"Absolutely. I honestly don't mind though. Besides you Liberty is the best thing to ever have happened to me."
Quinn didn't reply, she just tilted her head slightly and kissed Santana's jaw.
"Hey babe?"
"Mmm?"
"Is everything okay? You seem a bit distant lately and you don't really seem to notice Libby at all."
"Yeah, everything's perfect babe. I'm just tired and there's a thousand things going on in my head, don't worry about it."
Quinn turned slightly and gave her a reassuring smile before she settled back into her arms. Santana let out a relieved breath before nuzzling into Quinn's hair.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too babe."
Quinn turned around and leaned in to kiss Santana.
"Switch positions with me."
Santana moved so Quinn could get behind her and as soon as they were settled in Quinn's hands began stroking Santana's inner thighs.
"You're so sexy baby."
Quinn was whispering it into Santana's ear and she started biting and sucking on her neck and ear as her hand sank between Santana's folds causing Santana to moan. Quinn didn't beat around the bush because she quickly inserted three fingers into her wife as her thumb rubbed her clit.
"Oh God, that feels so good."
The pair hadn't had sex since a couple of months before Liberty was born and Quinn was happy to pleasure her wife, even if she still had to wait a few more weeks.
"I'm so close baby, don't stop!"
Santana's heartbeat was quickening and Quinn could feel her walls holding onto her fingers. She smirked and gently bit down on Santana's neck before she licked it gently to soothe the sting. The feeling of Quinn's tongue on her neck was enough to send Santana over the edge and she came with a moan. Quinn continued to pump into her until she came down from her high and when she did she leaned back against Quinn and tried to catch her breath.
"You have no idea how much I needed that."
Quinn gently sucked on her earlobe before replying.
"Oh trust me, I know. I'd take you to bed and fuck you senseless right now if I could, but I doubt Rach and B would like that."
Those words sent shivers down Santana's spine and she let out a groan.
"We should probably get down there before I fuck you."
Santana got out carefully before helping Quinn out and they got dressed before heading downstairs.
"Nice bath?"
"You have no idea. I was so tense I thought I was going to break every single bone in my body. Did she behave?"
Britt nodded and handed Liberty over to Santana.
"She woke up and cried a little bit, so we heated up a bottle from the fridge and fed her. She calmed down after that and she's entertained us by making funny faces."
Santana beamed at her daughter and kissed her cheek.
"I'm glad you were a good girl to your aunts baby, maybe they'll come back now."
Quinn sat down on the kitchen counter and looked at them.
"I'm hungry. Anyone else?"
They all nodded and Quinn got the take out menu's.
"I'm up for pizza."
"Sounds good to me."
"Me too, as long as I get a vegan one."
"Of course you do, this place has a wonderful vegan pizza. Or so I've been told."
Quinn handed the menu to Britt so she could decide what she wanted before she called the pizza place.
"I'm going to pick it up, I'll be back soon."
"Drive carefully."
Quinn kissed Santana's temple quickly before she grabbed her keys and purse and left.
Quinn was standing next to the bed, looking down at her now two-month-old daughter. It was noon and she had to go to the grocery store, but she didn't really want to.
"Hi there. So it's just you and me now, your mama's left us to go back to work, so I'd really appreciate it if you behaved as nicely as your mama says you do. That mean's no crying or whining, preferably just sleep through it and we'll both be fine, understand?"
Liberty had started to pay more attention to her surroundings and she started smiling up at her mommy.
"Oh God, not this. Are you seriously going to smile at me now too? The first time you smile and it's at me? Your mother will kill me if I don't get a picture of this, so just stay still."
Quinn got her phone out of her pocket and quickly took a picture of the smiling baby on her bed.
"Okay, you're dressed, it's July so you're not wearing too much, but still enough. You've been fed, burped and changed on. I think we're good to go.
Liberty began moving her arms and legs and cooing. Quinn had to admit it was pretty cute, but she wasn't really in the mood for that sort of thing.
"In the car seat you go."
Careful to support her head Quinn lifted her up and placed her in the car seat.
"Your mother says that the nurse thought you should gain some more weight. I think you're just fine though."
She picked up the seat and carried it downstairs and locked up the house before getting into the car and driving to the grocery store.
For two months they'd been able to hide her so the press wouldn't get any pictures of their baby so before going into the store Quinn put a blanket over the front of the seat and placed it in the shopping cart. She took her time in the store and instead of driving straight home she dropped by the studio where Santana was working to surprise her.
"San, you've got a visitor."
"Send them in."
Quinn walked in and Santana instantly lit up.
"Babe, I missed you!"
They shared a sweet kiss before Santana took Liberty out of her car seat.
"She smiled at me today."
Santana's eyes shot up to meet Quinn's and she pouted.
"What? I missed it? I've been waiting for ages! Damn it."
"I know, I told her she should have waited! I took a picture though."
Quinn got her phone out and showed Santana who simply hugged her daughter tighter and started peppering her with kisses.
"You're so cute Libby, that smile is just adorable!"
As she said that Libby smiled again and Santana felt her heart melt. She truly believed that she had the most adorable daughter in the world.
"I wish I could just stay home forever and ever with the two of you."
Quinn nodded absentmindedly.
"Yeah, that would be nice."
Santana placed Libby back into her seat and kissed Quinn.
"Thanks for dropping by babe, it was a really nice surprise."
"I'll see you later, call me when you leave okay? And try not to be too late."
Santana kissed her again, because she was her wife and she could, before she smiled and nodded.
"Promise. I love you bye!"
Quinn waved goodbye and drove back home. After she had unpacked the grocery bags she sat down on the couch with Libby still in her seat, seated in front of her.
"So, Liberty. Everything good?"
Liberty smiled and waved her arms.
"I guess that's a yes."
She leaned back and rubbed her eyes.
"God, why is this so hard? You're like my twin, but I feel like you're some sort of stranger. Please stop smiling, you're making this so much harder for me!"
Quinn lay down on the couch, face down in a pillow and just cried. Something was wrong with her, she'd known that since the moment Liberty was born, but she didn't want to admit it. She wasn't going to admit it. If she just gave it enough time she'd learn to love her daughter. She had to.
