Thanks for all of your reviews on the last chapter!

Enjoy! ;)


Christmas Eve

"Well Mrs. Claus, we've done it again." Santana smiled as she placed a bow on the last gift. She looked around the storage room they had been camped in for the past 3 hours, in their basement, wrapping Christmas gifts and nodded in approval.

Brittany nodded while picking up the tubes of wrapping paper and stuffing them back in the storage bag. "Yeah, and we even have wrapping paper left over this year." She laughed out while waving a tube around. "That has to be a first for us."

Santana walked over and took the bag out of Brittany's hand. "Which kid has wrapping paper left?" She asked while looking inside. Santana custom ordered wrapping paper with each of the kid's names, a tradition she started when Ashton was born, so it would be easier to the kids to locate their gifts under the tree every year. Noah had blue wrapping paper, Ashton had green, Carter had red, and Mackenzie had purple with their names in silver glitter calligraphy. She even had custom colors the Puckerman kids and for Zacky. The paper was more expensive than Brittany would have liked but she loved how excited Santana was around the holidays, so she didn't complain about any of the outlandish decorations Santana spent money on.

"Mackenzie." Brittany said while stretching and yawning. She ran her fingers though her hair and put it in a bun on the top of her head while exhaling deeply and moving her head side to side to stretch out her neck.

Santana glanced up at her. "You okay?" She asked while walking over and rubbing Brittany's back.

"I'm fine, Santana." Brittany smiled as Santana narrowed her eyes on her. "Relax, baby, it's 1am, I think I'm allowed to yawn at this point in the night, we've been stuffing stockings, putting together toys and bikes, and wrapping gifts since 10pm."

"You're right." Santana said while setting down the bag. "I'm sorry. I know I keep overreacting." Santana said shyly. "I'm just worried."

"You're not overreacting; you're being the amazing wife you've always been." Brittany told her while wrapping her arms around her waist and hugging her. "I love how attentive you're being, it honestly relaxes me more that I know you're right beside me with this."

"You are the same way when I have panic attacks and go through my anxiety." Santana shrugged. "I told you, we are in this together."

"I know." Brittany smiled. "I love you so much." She replied before kissing Santana on the forehead.

"I love you too." Santana smiled before leaning up and catching Brittany's lips. Brittany deepened the kiss and moaned softly while slipping her hands under Santana's sweatshirt and pulling her closer.

"The vitamins and medication must be helping." Santana pointed out while wrapping her arms around Brittany's neck and looking deep in her eyes. "You only took one nap today, it was a 3 hour nap, but only one today." Santana laughed softly as she remembered Brittany going to change her socks and falling asleep. She went to check on her when she didn't come back downstairs after 30 minutes, and found her fast asleep with only one sock on in the recliner. She laughed before waking her up briefly to have her lie in the bed so she could sleep more comfortably.

"Well, I felt you lying beside me during the nap." Brittany teased. "Actually I woke up to you cuddled in my chest snoring."

"I was bored when you fell asleep." Santana shrugged. "I wanted to be by you, and none of the kids would play with me." She added while pouting. "I planned on just lying down next to you for a while, but you know you're like a sleeping pill to me, and I fell asleep too." She laughed.

"I get bored when you fall asleep before me too." Brittany smiled. "At least you didn't do another askSantana on Twitter." Brittany laughed. "The last one had my mentions in shambles on Twitter."

Santana laughed. "I know, you were my answer for everything, and I kept telling my fans to ask you things."

Brittany leaned down and kissed Santana softly on the lips while rubbing her back. "So are you ready to record Santa jumping down the chimney with his bag?"

"Yeah let's do it." Santana nodded.

"Ok, go get Noah and I'll turn on the ipad in Mackenzie's room." Brittany smiled.

30 minutes later Brittany was sitting on Mackenzie's bed with the little blonde cuddled in her lap in and out of sleep as she snored softly on Brittany's chest.

"I love you so much, Mackenzie." Brittany whispered out while kissing the little blonde on the forehead and hugging her tightly. She smiled when Mackenzie scrunched her nose up in her sleep from the kiss. "Sometimes I swear San was the one that carried you, you have so many of her mannerisms." She laughed quietly.

Santana picked up the ipad she had in the family room and winked at Brittany who rubbed Mackenzie's back to wake her up slowly.

Santana quickly got into position with the plate of cookies Mackenzie made earlier that night. She set the plate down and nodded to Noah who shook the bells in his hand to help wake Mackenzie up. Brittany leaned back on the wall and pretended to be asleep as Mackenzie stirred and woke up slowly from the sound of the bells jingling followed by a deep ho ho ho. She glanced at the ipad Santana set up for her on the side of her bed so she could see Santa.

"Santa?" She whispered while crawling out of Brittany's lap and getting close to the screen with wide eyes.

Santana made a hand signal to Noah, who then jumped from the 4th step of the ladder down in front of the chimney dressed in a full Santa suit.

"Santa!" Mackenzie screamed happily when she saw Noah's red suit and the bag over his shoulder.

"Ho, ho, ho!" Noah said in a deep voice while looking around the living room, he then picked up a cookie and ate it causing Mackenzie to squeal in excitement. Brittany opened one eye and smiled at her daughter who was now standing straight up in her bed jumping up and down in excitement.

Noah then turned and smiled at the ipad. "Is that you Mackenzie?"

Mackenzie quickly got shy and blushed while nodding. "H-hi Santa!" She whispered out while waving before jumping in Brittany's lap. "Momma! Santa!" She screamed out while shaking Brittany to wake her up.

Brittany finally gave in and opened her eyes. "What's up Mack?" She asked while faking groggy and stretching.

"S-santa here!" She said happily while pointing to the screen as Noah began to unload presents and place them under the tree.

"Someone was on the nice list this year." Noah laughed out while winking at the screen.

"Not Carter." Mackenzie laughed. Santana stood off to the side and laughed softly to herself at Mackenzie's comment.

"Whoa!" Brittany smiled. "Look at all the stuff Santa brought you."

"I'm on the nice list, not the naughty list." Mackenzie said proudly.

"That's right." Brittany smiled while standing up and picking Mackenzie up to lay her back down. "You have to go back to sleep now, so Santa can finish unloading all his gifts and you can stay on the nice list."

"OK." Mackenzie smiled while lying down quickly.

"Tell Santa bye." Brittany smiled.

"Bye Santa!" Mackenzie waved.

Noah turned around and waved as Santana turned the ipad downstairs off. Brittany then laid down next to her daughter to make sure she went back to sleep. She hummed softly while rubbing her back as Mackenzie cuddled close in her chest and drifted back to sleep after almost 30 minutes. She kept sticking her head up every couple minutes and looking at the iPad, and Brittany would patiently and softly tell her to lie back down while rubbing her back to coax her back to sleep.

"Thank you so much Noah." Santana smiled.

Noah took off the beard and his Santa hat. "No problem, I remember seeing Santa at her age." He laughed out. "I'm going to call Madison, it's almost midnight in New York, where she is."

"Ok, good night mijo." Santana nodded as Brittany came back downstairs to the family room.

"Thanks Noah." Brittany smiled before her son tightly. "Good night."

"Good night, momma." Her replied before kissing her on the cheek and heading upstairs to his room.

"Another successful Christmas Eve Santa Claus sighting." Santana laughed out while high fiving Brittany.

"Yeah it was." Brittany agreed. "Ready to take this party up to the bedroom?"

"Yeah, let's just grab the rest of the gifts from the storage room first. I think it's just a few more." Santana suggested as Brittany yawned. "Actually, why don't you sit down on the couch and I'll grab them, Brit."

"I'm going to head upstairs, if that's ok?" Brittany stated.

"Of course." Santana nodded. "I'll be up soon." Santana quickly kissed her softly on the lips. "Try to stay awake? If not, not a big deal."

"I'll try." Brittany nodded.

"Ok, goodnight, baby." Santana said quickly. "Just in case." She added while hugging Brittany tightly.

Brittany winked at her and left the room. Santana sighed. "Alright muscles, let's get to work." She said while looking down at her arms.


Santana finally finished bringing all the gifts up from storage and positioning them under the tree around 2am. She turned off the lights in the family room, only leaving the Christmas tree illuminated and the lights around the fireplace. She went to the all white living room they had, which was strictly off limits, she took her shoes off and walked in and turned on the white Christmas tree, she sat on the white leather couch and stared at the tree for a few minutes while collecting her thoughts. She then double-checked that the alarm was on and grabbed a bottle of water before heading upstairs finally while chugging her water.

She peeped in at Ashton, who was asleep on his stomach with his ipad and a notebook next to his pillow. Santana pulled the cover over him and picked up the items. She pressed the home button on the ipad to check what he was looking up and saw he was researching lupus, she opened the notebook and saw he was taking notes on different treatment options, with Help For Momma written in bold letters at the top of the page.

"Such a genius, you're going to a great doctor, Grey." She whispered before taking the items and setting them on his desk. She then leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. She walked through the bathroom and went to Carter's room. She instantly laughed at the sight in front of her.

Carter was asleep sitting up against his headboard, he was wearing a Santa hat, and only the candy cane boxers and matching socks Brittany bought him. He was holding a sign that stated I tried really hard Santa. Santana went over to his chest and pulled out a t-shirt. She then went and grabbed his sign and set it down before putting the shirt over his head.

"Lay down mijo." She whispered to him while pulling his arms through the t-shirt. Once he was lying down, she ran her fingers through his long curls, which he absolutely refused to cut now, after being shaved bald weeks ago, and kissed him on the cheek. "Santa came for you, don't worry." She added with a smile before leaving his room.

She then peeped in at Mackenzie, who was curled in a ball, holding Shelley tightly, fast asleep, a huge smile on her face. She looked around at the candy canes that illuminated the ceiling, a gift from Aunt Rachel who thought it was be more festive to momentarily replace her star night-light for a few days. She blew her a kiss and closed the door softly.

She finished her bottle of water just as she was opening the door to her bedroom. She saw the lights were out and assumed Brittany had fallen asleep. "Oh well." Santana shrugged softly to herself as she closed the door quietly.

"Oh well, what?" Brittany asked.

Santana turned around as her eyes widened. Brittany was sitting on the bed in a red bra and thong and a Santa hat. "I, I thought you w-were sleep." She stuttered out with a smile.

"I came to get set up." Brittany smiled. "Since we've been married we've had the same Christmas Eve tradition. Did you forget?" Brittany then asked softly.

"Of course not, baby." Santana said quickly while locking the door and rushing over to Brittany. "I just thought you fell asleep."

Brittany shook her head. "I took extra vitamins today." She winked. Santana smiled as Brittany stood up and wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her into a hug while she kissed her. "So now, let's take our candy cane bubble bath and start our night." She said while unbuttoning Santana's jeans and grabbing her butt tightly before sliding them down.

"Are you sure you aren't too tired?" Santana asked hesitantly.

"Positive." Brittany nodded with a small yawn. "We aren't going to break tradition because of a illness, we aren't going to let it consume our life, right?"

Santana stepped out of her jeans. "Right." Brittany slowly undressed Santana and led her to the bathroom that was illuminated by red candles with the smell of peppermint bubble bath filling the air. Brittany wrote Merry Christmas on the mirror in lipstick inside of a big heart. She then handed Santana a Santa hat to put on.

Brittany then allowed Santana to slowly undress her as the Latina placed wet kisses all over Brittany's chest. "Are they ok to touch?" Santana asked softly while nodding at her wife's chest. Brittany nodded while grabbing Santana's hands and placing them on her breast.

"I don't want you scared to touch me or nervous when we have sex because of this." Brittany replied. "Please."

Santana nodded. "I'm sorry." She whispered before kissing Brittany's breasts while squeezing them gently, Brittany moaned softly causing Santana to abruptly stop and glance up at her. "Let's get in."

Once the two settled in the tub, Brittany ran her hands slowly over Santana thighs under the water while kissing her on the neck. Santana relaxed back on Brittany's chest and leaned her head back on her wife's shoulder.

"Well, Santana Claus..." Brittany laughed out. "Do you think our kids will be happy with their gifts?"

Santana moaned softly when Brittany's hand grazed her core momentarily. "Yeah." She nodded. "We went way over budget this year, Brit."

"I know." Brittany replied. "Part of that is my fault, you were actually really good with shopping this year."

"You sound surprised." Santana laughed.

"I am." Brittany replied while laughing herself. "You are a shopaholic."

"Fine, I have a tendency to get carried away sometimes." Santana shrugged.

"It's ok." Brittany replied while hugging Santana tightly. "So I've been thinking about New Year's Eve this year."

"Yeah.." Santana said while lifting Brittany's hand and kissing it.

"I booked us a suite at DisneyLand, I thought we could spend it with the kids this year." Brittany stated.

"You don't want to go to Cedes party?" Santana asked while sitting up to look at Brittany.

Brittany shrugged. "I rather have a quiet evening with just you, and I want to use this mini vacation to talk to the kids about me having lupus."

Santana nodded. "Ok, that sounds like a good idea." Santana kissed her briefly on the lips. "A quiet New Years Eve with you sounds like the best offer I've ever received."

"The suite has 2 bedrooms." Brittany explained as Santana rested back on her chest. "A kitchen and a living room area."

"You're sticking all 4 kids in one room, or is Mackey sleeping with us?" Santana asked with a small frown.

"I got 2 suites, the boys will be next door in a suite of their own." Brittany stated. "Mackenzie will be in our suite in the other bedroom."

"Brit..." Santana started.

"The boys will be fine Santana, I have Sam and Tom coming, they'll be taking turns patrolling the hall. Noah will be 16 in under next week, it'll be fine." Brittany repeated.

"Ok." Santana nodded. "So when are we going?"

"We are leaving on the 29th and staying until the 2nd." Brittany told her. "Is that ok?"

"That's perfect." Santana assured her. She then turned Brittany's head and kissed her deeply.

They relaxed in the water quietly for another 20 minutes before Santana spoke up. "Ready to get out?"

Brittany yawned. "Yeah I am." She then smiled. Santana stood up and got out first. She grabbed the pair towels and quickly turned around to wrap a towel around Brittany after putting one around herself. She was blowing out the candles when she felt Brittany wrap her arms around her waist before slowly sliding them up to her breasts while she kissed her softly on the neck.

Santana blew out the last candle and turned around just as Brittany pushed her softly against the door and kissed her. "I want you baby." Brittany said in a low voice.

"I, I want you too." Santana moaned out as Brittany opened her towel and kissed down her body slowly. She kissed her core firmly before licking a long slow stroke through Santana's folds. Santana's knees buckled so she gripped the sink. Brittany smirked and stood back up. She took her towel off and tossed it on the floor as she grabbed Santana's hand and pulled her to the bed.

Santana quickly crawled on Brittany as soon as the blonde laid down and settled between her legs while cupping her wife's face and slowly darting her tongue in. "I've missed your body, Brit." Santana moaned out as Brittany ran her hands up and down her back.

"Look on the side of the bed." Brittany moaned out as Santana nipped at her neck and collarbone.

Santana nodded while finding Brittany's lips again before reluctantly breaking the kiss and leaning over the side of the bed. She picked up the black box with the red bow.

"I thought we weren't exchanging gifts this year?" Santana asked.

"This is for both of us." Brittany smiled while stifling a yawn.

Santana frowned and opened the box pulling out a silver and red dildo. "Is this a candy cane?" Santana smiled.

Brittany nodded. "I went to Miss Holiday's store, and she had a Christmas section."

"Cool." Santana smiled. "Do you want me to wear it?" She then asked knowing Brittany did, which would leave Santana to do most of the work when they had sex. She saw the bags forming under Brittany's eyes as the blonde tried to her hardest to stay awake.

"Yeah." Brittany nodded.

"Ok." Santana leaned down and kissed her before going to the closet and grabbing a harness. She slipped it on and crawled back on the bed. She laid down next to Brittany and kissed her while slipping her fingers inside of her to make sure she was ready. "Ready?"

Brittany yawned and nodded. "Yeah I am."

Santana kissed her again and rolled on top of her. She sat on her knees and opened Brittany's legs wide. "Stay laying down baby." She told her as Brittany yawned again.

"Are you sure?" Brittany asked.

"Yeah." Santana smiled. She slowly entered Brittany pausing to give her time to adjust before she started a slow rhythm, her eyes never leaving Brittany's face.

Brittany kept her eyes locked on Santana as well with a small smile on her face.

"This feels so good, Brit." Santana moaned softly while positioning Brittany's legs so she could lean down and kiss her while resting her arms on the blonde's side as she picked up the rhythm.

"Keep going, San." Brittany moaned out while digging her nails in Santana's back. "Don't stop."

Santana kissed Brittany stifling both of their moans while digging her fingers in Brittany's hair. "Oh God, baby." Santana panted out when the kiss broke. "Fuck…." She strained out while moving faster.

"I love you." Brittany moaned out.

Santana smiled. "I love you too." She replied before kissing Brittany again as her body tensed. "I…..I…." She then strained out.

"San!" Brittany screamed out as Santana moved as quick as possible while hiding her face in Brittany's neck sucking on her pulse point.

With one final thrust, they both screamed out in ecstasy as they crashed over the edge. Santana continued slowly thrusting into Brittany while she brought them down. She lifted her head and kissed Brittany while smiling and staring deep in her eyes.

"Are you ok?" She then asked Brittany while kissing all over her face.

"I'm ok." Brittany smiled. "I think I scratched your back up."

"That's ok." Santana laughed out.

"One more round?" Brittany suggested while sitting up. She had Santana turn so her back was towards the headboard. "Lean back on your elbows to brace yourself."

Santana nodded and did as told. Brittany then opened her legs and settled on the dildo. She leaned forward on Santana's body and kissed her softly as she began to bounce on the piece.

"Whoa…" Santana moaned out. "B, B, B, B."

"Feels good right?" Brittany smiled as she kissed Santana on the neck and grabbed her thighs for more support.

Santana nodded lazily as her eyes rolled in back of her head. "Ohhhhhhh." She moaned softly as Brittany kept a steady pace while massaging her breasts. Santana lifted one hand and placed it on Brittany's butt while moaning a little louder this time.

Santana opened her eyes briefly to kiss Brittany when she saw a pair of eyes staring at her and suddenly screamed. "Shit! Someone's in here Brit!" She said quickly while lifting Brittany off her.

Brittany quickly jumped up off the bed. "What?" She asked quickly while looking around.

"Over there!" Santana said as she jumped out of the bed and quickly pulled the cover off the bed and draped it over Brittany to cover her. She then bent down and grabbed one of their whips from under the bed. "I'm whip the shit outta them."

Brittany focused her eyes in the direction Santana was pointing and started laughing. "That's just Tubby."

"What?" Santana asked quickly.

"Tubby hangs out in here." Brittany replied while sitting on the bed and yawning.

"I haven't seen the damn cat in weeks Brit, I thought he was somewhere dead or ran away." Santana sighed out while exhaling slowly. "Why is he in the TV armoire?"

"It's quiet in here usually." Brittany shrugs. "I noticed him there a few weeks ago when I woke up in the middle of the night."

"I don't want him in here right now baby." Santana said softly. "Can you make him leave?"

"Why?" Brittany asked as Santana finally sat down next to her on the bed.

"He's watching us." She then said softly. "Wait….does he always watch us?" She asked while shuddering. "So he watches us sleep too?"

Brittany shrugged. "Maybe." She then yawned out with a smile.

"Brit….." Santana sighed. "I'm not in the mood anymore, I'm sorry, I lost it, his eyes freaked me out."

"It's ok." Brittany smiled as she leaned over and kissed Santana on the cheek while she yawned again.

"Ready to get some sleep?" Santana asked.

Brittany nodded. "Yeah, let's rinse off in the shower first, you know the kids will drag us downstairs in a few hours."

"Ok." Santana said while sliding the harness down. She then got on her knees and rubbed Brittany's thighs before she opened her legs.

"What are you doing?" Brittany asked.

"I finish everything I start. You deserve your second orgasm." Santana smiled before beginning to lick Brittany slowly.


7am

Santana jerked awake from Mackenzie screaming at the top of her lungs. The Latina smiled and opened her eyes and was instantly met by tired blue ones.

"I'm guessing she saw what Santa left her." Santana laughed softly.

"Sounds like it." Brittany nodded as her eyes closed.

"You look exhausted Brit." Santana said softly as she stroked her hair.

"No time to be exhausted, its Christmas." Brittany smiled weakly as she opened her eyes. "Can you make me a energy smoothie?"

"Absolutely." Santana nodded.

"Hey San." Brittany then said with a smile.

"Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas." Brittany smiled as she leaned forward and softly pressed their lips together.

"Merry Christmas, baby." Santana smiled.

20 minutes later the two were dressed in candy cane pajamas to match the kids pajamas and walked hand in hand into the family room where Mackenzie was animatedly telling Noah how she saw Santa dropping off the gifts while Carter fought an imaginary person off to the side. Ashton sat on the floor and listened to Mackenzie tell her story with a smile.

"Merry Christmas everyone." Santana smiled as Carter and Ashton ran over and hugged them tightly greeting them.

"I started the peppermint hot chocolate." Noah smiled.

"Thank you, sweetheart." Brittany yawned out.

"I'll make you a smoothie quick, baby." Santana said while heading to the kitchen.

Brittany sat down on the couch and lifted Mackenzie in her lap while kissing her daughter on the forehead.

"You look tired momma, we can open the gifts later so you can go back to sleep." Ashton said softly.

"I'm fine Grey, but thank you." Brittany smiled.

"But you're sick." Ashton said his eyes turned red. "You have get lots of rest to feel better, I looked it up."

"Come here Grey." Brittany said while sitting Mackenzie on the couch next to her.

"Come finish telling me about Santa, Mackey." Noah said with a smile. Mackenzie quickly jumped off the couch and ran over to Noah, while Carter looked with wide eyes at Brittany from the other end of the couch.

"I am sick, but I'm ok, your mommy has been taking great care of me, and so have the doctors I've gone to see." Brittany told him as he rested his head on her shoulder. "I'll be tired sometimes and I may take a lot of naps, I may even get really sore and my legs and arms may hurt, but your mom and I will handle it and deal with it. You don't have to worry about that. I don't want you to worry about that. Aside from that nothing else is going to change." Brittany said softly as tears came to her eyes. "I don't want you kids to constantly worry about me, any of you. No walking on egg shells around me or thinking you have to treat me differently, we are still going to play around and dance together, just like before."

Santana came back to the room and stopped at the doorway as Brittany finished talking and leaned on the doorframe while staring at her wife. She knew Ashton would take it hard and was waiting for him to finally break. Her heart dropped when she saw him clutching to Brittany with tears streaming down his face. Noah and Ashton found out about Brittany's condition that night via Twitter, which caused panic over the boys that night. Noah was in disbelief, much like Santana had been when she first heard, and refused to believe it, he demanded that Santana show him test results from the doctor visits. Ashton in turn ran out of the room and refused to talk about it, he instead looked up everything he could about the condition, and had Santana take him to the library to check out as many books as he could.

"Today is Christmas, so we are going to be super happy and have as much as fun as possible so Pop Pop feels it up in heaven." Brittany sniffled. "Ok, everyone? No tears today, unless it's from crying laughing while mommy tries to dance to Thriller on Michael Jackson Experience." Brittany then laughed softly when she locked eyes with Santana.

"Hey, I'm not that bad." Santana said after quickly wiping her tears and walking in the family room with a big smile. "We can laugh at Aunt Quinn when she tries the routine though." She added.

The kids all nodded while Ashton hugged Brittany tightly. She kissed the top of his head. "I'm fine, Grey, come on now, baby, it's ok." Brittany whispered while hugging him back and wiping his tears from his cheeks. "Why don't you play Santa this year?"

Ashton nodded and wiped his tears as he sat up. "Ok, let's start with Mackey." He said while clearing his throat.

Santana set down the tray of mugs filled with peppermint hot chocolate and topped with whip cream, with each member of the family's name written in candy cane print, on the table. She then handed Brittany the smoothie she made for her before kissing her on the cheek, and discreetly slipping her pills in her hand along with 3 vitamins.

"You ok?" She asked while wiping away the last tear on Brittany's face.

"Yeah, I am." Brittany winked at her and took her vitamins first.

"What did Santa get you Mack?" Brittany asked with a big smile before she took a big sip of her drink to wash her pills down, hoping the faster she drank it, the faster it would work.


2 hours later, Brittany and Santana looked around at the sea of wrapping paper on the floor and smiled as their kids seemed more than contentment and appreciative of every single gift. Santana rubbed Brittany's side while kissing her on the forehead.

"I have one more gift for Carter." Brittany said as she lifted her head from Santana's shoulder.

"What gift?" Santana whispered to her.

"This is a special gift from me." Brittany smiled. She stood up slowly and stretched her arms before walking to the sunroom and coming back with a large gift covered by a sheet.

"Brit…." Santana said slowly while she stared at the gift and instantly knew what it was. "We didn't talk about this baby."

"I know, and sorry." Brittany smiled as she set the gift down on the table. "Take the cover off Carter."

Carter jumped up from the trucks he was playing with and ran to the table and snatched the sheet off.

"Fuck." Santana mumbled to herself while shaking her head.

"Cool!" He screamed out when he saw the bright red, yellow, and blue parrot.

"Whoa…a parrot!" Ashton said excitedly while running over to the cage.

Mackenzie climbed in Santana's lap, not wanting to get close to the cage.

"You don't want to see the bird, Mackenzie?" Santana asked softly while rubbing her back.

Mackenzie shook her head. "I can see it from here." She responded while leaning back on Santana's chest.

"Does it talk?" Noah asked with a smile.

"We can teach it to." Brittany nodded.

"Brit, can I see you in the kitchen please?" Santana asked sweetly with a forced smile.

"Uh oh." Noah laughed out. "Let's look at the bird, Mack." He said while lifting Mackenzie on his back.

"His name is Jasper!" Carter said excitedly while sticking his finger in the cage.

"NO!" Santana almost yelled. "Don't stick your finger in the cage, none of you." She said softer.

Carter quickly pulled his hand back and nodded.

Brittany followed Santana to the kitchen. "You're mad, aren't you?"

"Mad may be an understatement right now, Brittany." Santana replied quickly. "Baby, we don't need more pets in this house."

"A bird won't be any trouble San, we just have to change the paper like once a week, we don't have to walk it or anything." Brittany replied.

"You should have ran this by me, Brit." Santana said.

"You're right." Brittany nodded. "I'm sorry." She added.

Santana covered her mouth tightly and screamed into her hands while closing her eyes.

"Feel better now?" Brittany asked Santana finally opened her eyes and her face softened.

"Yes." Santana sighed out. "Can you promise me no more pets?" Santana said softly. "Please Brit."

"Ok, well I'll send Mackenzie's pony back." Brittany said nervously.

"What?!" Santana yelled out.

"I'm joking." Brittany laughed. "Now the bird doesn't seem so bad right?"

Santana rolled her eyes. "Sometimes I think you want me to have a heart attack." Santana laughed softly as Brittany wrapped her arms around her waist.

"You can teach it Spanish." Brittany smiled.

Santana laughed. "Ok, but just so you know, you're cleaning out the cage."

"Deal." Brittany smiled before kissing Santana.

The two went back to the family room and sat back down on the couch.

"Is momma in trouble?" Carter asked.

"No, she isn't." Santana smiled. "So Jasper is the bird's name?"

"When will it talk?" Carter asked while nodding.

"I got a baby bird, so we need to give it time to get comfortable with us first, and then we can work on teaching it objects and phrases to repeat." Brittany explained.

"Ok." Carter nodded while staring at the bird that looked back and forth at all the faces staring back at it.

"Noah didn't get any gifts." Ashton pointed out.

"It's ok, I get stuff all the time." Noah shrugged.

"Did we forget Noah's gifts?" Santana asked quickly.

Brittany looked at her wife. "Shit…." She whispered.

"Did you write to Santa?" Mackenzie asked him sweetly.

Noah laughed. "It's ok." He told his moms. "No, I forgot to send my letter." He then told his sister with a smile.

"You can share my Barbies." Mackenzie then said while sliding off his back and running to grab a princess Barbie and handing it to him.

"That's a girl toy." Carter scowled.

"Hey, what's that black box under the tree?" Santana smiled.

"You mean this one?" Brittany asked while standing up and tossing the box to Noah.

"Yep, that's it." Santana nodded as Brittany cuddled back in her side.

Noah looked up at his mothers and opened the small box and held up a BMW car key. "I think it's one of your gifts." He shrugged and handed the box to Santana.

"Nope, I don't drive a BMW." She shook her head. "I'm a Porsche girl now." She winked. "Brit, is this yours?" She asked while handing Brittany the key.

Brittany examined the key. "No." She shook her head. "Maybe it's the spare to the guest car."

"I don't think so." Santana shrugged. "Noah, go outside and see if it works for the guest car." She added while tossing him the key.

"Ok." Noah shrugged while standing up and walking towards the front door.

Brittany and Santana quickly got up and followed him to the door. Noah stepped outside and saw the black BMW with a white bow on the hood and ran to the car.

"Is this mine?!" He yelled out excitedly as Brittany and Santana stepped outside.

"Merry Christmas." Santana nodded.

"He's not 16 yet." Ashton pointed out.

"He will be next week." Brittany smiled as Noah unlocked the door and started to pull out the bags of gifts full of designer clothes, shoes, dvds, concert tickets, and gift cards.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Noah said while picking both of his mothers up, one in each arm and spinning them around while alternating kissing them on their cheeks.

"Take a look at the interior." Santana laughed when Noah finally set them down.

Noah looked closer and saw the car had black leather interior, with baby blue stitching. His name was embroidered in the headrests of the seats, and in the floor mats. The car was top of the line and completely decked out with every feature imaginable.

"San, run down the rules of the car." Brittany stated when Noah finally closed the door.

"No one, and I mean one is allowed to drive this car but you." Santana said sternly. "If I see or hear about someone outside of you driving it, it becomes mine, understood?"

Noah nodded quickly.

"You still only have your permit, so until you get your official driver's license, this car stays parked here, unless your mom or I take you out to practice." Brittany added.

"Ok." Noah smiled out.

"Once you get your license and begin to drive by yourself, you're curfew with the car is the time we set for the night, if you're late, the car becomes mine. You're cell phone needs to remain on at all times if you're out with the car. I want to be able to reach you." Santana stated.

"We got bluetooth and voice recognition texting installed, as well as vocal GPS, so there is no reason for your phone to touch your hands while you're driving." Brittany said sternly. "If I find out you've been texting and driving, or talking on the phone, the car will become mine." Brittany rattled off. "Too many senseless accidents and deaths happen from teenagers texting while driving. The message can wait, or pull over to the side and reply, I don't want to lose you for an LOL. Ok?"

"Finally." Santana spoke up. "This is your car, you are responsible for the maintenance for it. We aren't saying for you to pay if something breaks, your mom and I will handle that for you, but you are responsible for keeping gas in the car, and making sure you get your oil changed on a regular basis. If anything else goes out, or feels funny while driving us, please let us know right away so we can get it looked at for you." Santana added as Brittany nodded.

"A car is a huge responsibility, Noah, we are putting a lot of trust in you by giving you this." Brittany smiled.

"This is both your Christmas and birthday gift." Santana added quickly.

"Got it. I'll follow every single rule." Noah said quickly. "I promise I will."

"Great, glad we have an understanding." Santana stated.

Brittany yawned again as Santana looked up. "I'll start breakfast, why don't you go take a little nap." Santana said softly.

"Are you sure?" Brittany asked.

"Yeah, we have a full day today, I'll have Quinn and Mercedes help me in the kitchen, go get some rest, your eyes are glazing over." Santana nodded while they walked back in the house.

"Ok." Brittany smiled.


Santana was moving quickly around the kitchen while she finished up dinner when Quinn and Mercedes came in the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas babe." Mercedes smiled brightly as she hugged the Latina.

"Merry Christmas." Quinn smiled."Or is it Merry Snixxmas?" She then asked slowly when she saw the scowl on Santana's face when she broke their embrace

"Merry Christmas ladies." Santana smiled as her face softened. "Sorry, I'm just behind in cooking, I wanted to be done by now, it's almost 4."

Mercedes looked around and grabbed the extra apron off the hook on the wall and wrapped it around her waist. "What do you need help with?"

"Everything." Santana laughed while shaking her head as she opened the oven and checked on the ham, she then opened the 2nd oven in the kitchen and checked on the turkey. "At the rate I'm going we won't eat dinner until 8pm."

"Well, lucky for you, Quinn and I know how to cook, so we'll help you out." Mercedes smiled.

"Where's Brittany?" Quinn asked while tying an apron around her waist.

"She's upstairs laying down, she maybe asleep still." Santana replied.

"She ok?" Quinn asked while taking the pot of boiling potatoes off the stove and running them under cool water before dumping them in a bowl and moving to the table to begin peeling and mashing them.

"Yeah, we were up late and woke up early, her body didn't have a chance to really rest. So she laid down after the kids opened their gifts while I made breakfast, and then she started to help with dinner, but I told her to lay back down, her eyes look so tired." Santana replied softly. "I don't want her to overdo anything, especially until she gets used to her pills and everything, we have a long day, so I told her I'll check on her right before dinner is done."

"How are the kids taking it?" Quinn asked.

"Noah has my first reaction, denial and avoidance, he kind of refuses to accept it, but I catch him checking on her more often and doing more small things for her, grabbing bags out of her hand, lifting things for her. Ashton is taking it really hard, he's been attached to Brit for the past couple days, if he isn't by her, he's researching the condition, and different treatments. Carter just knows that his momma is sick and she'll be tired, but we left it at that with him, and we haven't told Mackenzie anything." Santana listed off.

"How are you doing with it?" Mercedes asked.

"I'm staying strong for my wife and kids, my only focus is taking care of Brit right now, and keeping the kids calm." Santana shrugged.

"Do let this bottle up inside of you." Quinn told her. "You can call us any time of day or night."

"I know." Santana smiled. "I've be reading a lot on the condition too, and I understand it better, I'm always going to worry, but I'm not going to stress myself out."

"Good," Mercedes smiled.

"So how have your Christmas's been so far?" Santana asked as Mercedes took the brisket from her and began to slice it.

The three women chatted while finishing dinner. They exchanged stories on how excited their kids where and told what they spouses got them.


"Why don't you go get Brit for dinner, Cedes and I will set everything up in the dining room?" Quinn suggested.

"Are you sure?" Santana asked as she finished slicing the ham and set the platter on the table.

"Absolutely." Mercedes nodded.

"Ok, thanks." Santana smiled as she took her apron off and headed upstairs.

She walked in their bedroom and saw Brittany fast asleep on top of the covers, a small blanket over her, and Mackenzie cuddled in her chest, napping alongside her.

"So cute." Santana smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed her daughter's back. "Mackey." She sang out softly. "Wake up baby girl."

Mackenzie stirred and woke up slowly, she turned her head and looked over her shoulder and smiled shyly when she saw Santana smiling back at her.

"Momma sleep." She said while turning around but staying close to Brittany. Brittany stirred slightly and pulled Mackenzie closer to her.

"Yeah she is, Aunt Quinn and Aunt Cedes are downstairs, why don't you go tell them Merry Christmas and give them the super special gifts you made them at school." Santana told her while lifting Brittany's arm and picking Mackenzie up cuddling her close while kissing her on the forehead.

"Ok." Mackenzie smiled.

Santana sat her down and patted her on the butt softly before she ran out of the room happily. She then leaned down and kissed Brittany awake. Brittany began to kiss her back as she lifted her hand and ran her fingers through Santana's hair.

"Hey you." Santana smiled out when the kiss broke.

"Hey." Brittany rasped out before clearing her throat and sitting up on her elbow.

"Are you hungry?" Santana asked while rubbing Brittany's side soothingly. "Dinner is ready, and everyone is here."

"I'm not topic of discussion am I?" Brittany asked quietly while playing with Santana's wedding finger. Since the night of Mercedes's Christmas concert when CNN broke the story of her condition, Brittany hadn't seen anyone.

"Cedes and Quinn asked how you were, that's it." Santana told her. "I'll make sure you're not the hot topic at dinner, and I'll make sure everyone treats you like normal."

"Thanks." Brittany nodded.

"You're welcome." Santana told her while lifting Brittany's chin to kiss her softly on the lips once more. "You had a nap buddy." She laughed out as Brittany sat up slowly.

"Who?" Brittany asked as Santana handed her dress back to her, she took it off and laid down in a pair of sweats and tank top.

"You mini me was cuddled in your chest when I came up here." Santana told her while grabbing the hairbrush to fix her wife's hair.

Brittany laughed while she undressed and slipped her dress back on. "She loves to cuddle, doesn't she?"

"Still feel tired?" Santana asked as Brittany sat down at the vanity, and she began to slowly brush her hair.

"A little, but the nap helped." Brittany told her while locking eyes with Santana in the mirror. "San…"

"Yeah?"

"I know we agreed to not get each other gifts but I wanted to get you something anyways." Brittany said softly as she opened the drawer.

"Brit….I….you said…so I didn't…" Santana rushed out quickly.

"I don't want a gift back, but I want you have this." Brittany said as she held up a small silver box. "I didn't spend any money, so relax."

Santana set the brush down and opened the box slowly. She instantly feel her eyes tear up. "Where did you get this?" She asked as she stared at Brittany in the mirror again.

"Your uncle Tito, when we went to Lima for Thanksgiving, it was your mom's." Brittany explained as she stood up and took the silver necklace out of the box.

"How did he get it?" Santana asked as Brittany placed the silver rosary around her wife's neck. "I haven't seen this since I was in high school."

"You know how your uncle moved in your parent's house in Lima, when they moved out here?" Brittany asked softly. Santana nodded as she stared at the rosary before looking up and locking eyes with Brittany. "Well, your Uncle Tito found a box in the attic that had some stuff from your mom's childhood and teenage years." Brittany told her as she went to the closet and pulled out a box and handed it to Santana.

Santana stared at the box. "What's in here?" She asked softly.

"Open it and see." Brittany smiled.

Santana opened the box and found love letters from her dad, her mom's high school diary, and some miscellaneous family pictures. She ran her hand over her picture from graduation with her parents.

"Thanks Brit." She smiled before hugging her tightly.

"Your uncle was going to just throw it out but I convinced him to let me have it, I thought I would surprise you with it." Brittany smiled.

"This is the best surprise ever." She smiled while putting the lid back on the box and grabbing Brittany's hand.

"Maybe you get your romance bug from your dad." Brittany laughed.

"I know our boys did." Santana laughed before kissing Brittany softly.


"So this is what I've been missing out on?" Beth laughed out as she sat down on the couch next to Hannah and bounced Cameron on her thighs, attempting to get the baby to stand on his legs while he laughed and kicked his feet.

"Yeah." Hannah smiled. "These 5 are so competitive." She laughed as she returned their focus to Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Mercedes, and Rachel who were standing in front of the karaoke machine arguing over what song they would sing first, and who would get to sing. "Every holiday turns into them breaking out the karaoke machine or the X Box and playing Let's Dance, which Brit, usually wins at anyway."

"Wait until they get a few more glasses of champagne in them, and the real fun starts." Noah laughed while handing Hannah a slice of pie. "Their drunken karaoke routines are the best."

"Thanks Noah." Hannah smiled while happily beginning to eat.

"Yeah, we usually sneak ourselves some champagne at that time." Manny laughed as he sat down next to Noah on the couch and fist bumped him.

Beth laughed. "I hate I missed so much of this." She added softly.

"Well, you're here now." Hannah smiled at Beth.

"When is your little one due?" Beth asked as she nodded to Hannah's stomach.

"Soon, any day now." Hannah smiled. "I can't wait to meet her." She said while rubbing her stomach.

"Do you have a name picked out?" Beth asked.

"Yeah, Danielle, after my dad." Hannah nodded.

"That's awesome." Beth smiled.

"It's my damn house, we'll sing what I want to." Santana then snapped loudly causing Brittany to laugh at her wife and how frustrated she was getting, while she snatched the microphone from Rachel.

"Whatever Satan, it's Brit's house too." Mercedes laughed while rolling her eyes and snatching the microphone from the Latina.

"I have an idea." Sugar laughed out while walking in the living room with a glass of champagne.

"Who's that?" Beth asked.

"Sugar, she was in glee club with them." Hannah explained. "She lives in Hawaii, but she stayed for Christmas with some of the other glee clubbers, who went to Mercedes's Christmas concert, they've been having little New Directions reunions every Christmas."

"Which turns into a live version of American Idol." Manny laughed.

"Yeah it does." Noah added as Mackenzie ran over and climbed in his lap.

"Troubletones front and center!" Sugar screamed out.

"Well, that isn't fair." Rachel grumbled.

"Take a seat, babe." Puck laughed out as Quinn rolled her eyes and walked into Puck's waiting arms, he kissed her before taking a sip of his beer and offering her a sip. She declined and instead rested her head on his chest and laughed at Santana, who was making a face at Rachel as she walked over to Finn with a pout.

"Noah, can you hit the music please?" Sugar asked. "I know you ladies remember this."

Noah stood up and leaned down so Sugar could whisper the song in his ear.

"I hope you ladies remember the routine." Sugar smiled as the music started.

Santana quickly screamed in laughter. "Of course I remember this." She said excitedly. "You up for this baby?" She asked Brittany softly.

"Absolutely." Brittany smiled.

"Let's go girls." Mercedes nodded as they got into position. They performed the number flawless, still mastering the dances steps.

Rachel walked over to the karaoke machine and turned the music off.

"Berry!" Santana yelled out angrily.

"I would like to sing one of the songs that helped us win one of our competitions." Rachel beamed.

"Ummm, I sang Valerie." Santana laughed out while high fiving Brittany.

Rachel scowled slightly as the room laughed. She then quickly typed in her song and smiled as the music started and Santana rolled her eyes and groaned loudly while sitting on the arm of the couch and pulling Brittany to stand between her legs as she hugged her tightly.

Rachel then turned around with her back to everyone as Artie wheeled in the room. "What the…"

"Shhhhhhhh." Rachel hissed out at him. He made a face at her and wheeled to side as Mackenzie waved shyly at him.

He winked at her and waved back. "Come on over girl." He said while waving the little blonde over.

Mackenzie looked up at Santana, who nodded at her that it was ok. She then jumped off Noah's lap and ran to climb in Artie's lap hugging him tightly around the neck.

"I saw Santa last night Uncle Artie." She said happily. Brittany laughed at the pair and leaned further into Santana's embrace as Rachel dramatically turned around and began to sing.

Don't tell me not to live

Just sit and putter

Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter

Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to

If someone takes a spill

It's me and not you

Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

I'll march my band out

I'll beat my drum

And if I'm fanned out

Your turn at bat, sir

At least I didn't fake it

Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it

"Oh hell no." Mercedes said quickly while turning the music off. "We are not listening to you sing show tunes."

"Thank God." Santana laughed while kissing Brittany on the neck softly.

"Why don't you sing one of your songs mommy?" Ashton suggested.

"Well, I could." Santana said happily as she jumped off the arm of the couch.

Brittany grabbed her hand and pulled her into her a heated kiss. "Knock em dead." She winked at her wife.

"I don't need music for this one." Santana smiled. "This is the first song I ever wrote."

Mercedes instantly started laughing. "Oh shit…."

"San…" Brittany smiled warningly.

"This is for you Sam!" Santana smiled before singing.

Guppy Face, Trouty Mouth

Is that how people's lips look

Where you come from in the South?

Grouper Mouth, Froggy Lips

"Really?" Sam laughed out quickly cutting the song short.

"I like it." Carter smiled. "Are you the trouty mouth?"

"Carter!" Brittany said quickly.

"He's Uncle Trouty Mouth to you, mijo." Santana laughed.

Mrs. Pierce walked in and grabbed Cameron who was dozing off. "Let's get out of here with all this noise from these crazy people." She smiled while lifting the baby and kissing his forehead. "You can hang out with Grammy over here."

"Are you ok, mom?" Brittany asked.

"I'm fine dear." Mrs. Pierce smiled as she went to far end of the family room and sat down with Cameron.

"She looks sad." Brittany said to Santana.

"It's her first Christmas without your dad." Santana said softly. "It's probably hard, that's why she keeps grabbing babies and playing with the kids."

"Yeah." Brittany nodded while yawning. "Can you get me a glass of water?"

"Sure, be right back." Santana smiled.

Santana came back quickly and handed Brittany her bottle of water.

"Thank you." Brittany smiled.

"So what are we singing now?" Santana asked..

"The baby is coming." Hannah said quickly.

"Is that new?" Santana asked.

"Ummmm, the baby is really coming!" Beth said quickly while jumping up and pointing to Hannah, who's water just broke on the sofa.

"I can't have the baby now, Jackson isn't here!" Hannah said frantically.

"Stay calm Han." Brittany said quickly. "Mom!" She then yelled out.

"Party is over everyone!" Puck yelled out hoping to quickly clear out the hosue.

"Ewww, she peed on herself, when I did that I got in trouble." Carter said while pointing at Hannah.

"Because you peed on yourself in the car, instead of asking mommy to stop somewhere." Ashton scowled.

"Noah, take them out of here please." Santana said quickly. "Go get your coats boys, we need to get to the hospital."

"Mommy?" Mackenzie asked while hugging Santana around the leg as Brittany began to time Hannah's contractions.

"I'll start your truck Brit!" Mercedes said quickly while running outside.

"Not right now, mija." Santana said softly.

"Come to Aunt Quinn." Quinn said while opening her arms to the little blonde who allowed Quinn to pick her up.

"Keep breathing sweetheart, just like in Lamaze class." Mrs. Pierce said soothingly while rubbing Hannah's back.

"I need Jackson." Hannah screamed out as a contraction ripped her body.

"Squeeze my hand, Han." Brittany smiled.

"I'll call Jackson." Noah said while coming back in the living room. "The game is over and he's probably on the way here now anyways."

"Alright let's go!" Santana yelled out. "Puck lock up for me?"

"Absolutely." Puck nodded as the Lopez-Pierce family rushed out of the house.


3am

Santana walked in the waiting room with a big smile on her face. She leaned down and rubbed Brittany's back, the blonde fell asleep a few hours ago, and was curled in the corner of the couch with a blanket over her.

"Wake up Aunt Brit." She smiled while kissing Brittany on the temple. "Your niece wants to meet you."

Brittany's eyes slowly opened. "She's here?"

Santana nodded. "She's beautiful." She gushed. "Come on baby." She said while helping Brittany sitting up.

"The kids?" Brittany looked around.

"They are all back at the nursery already." Santana smiled.

Brittany's eyes twinkled. "I'm an Aunt?" She asked happily. "Like a real aunt now?"

Santana nodded excitedly. "Come on."

Brittany followed Santana down the hall to the nursery wing where everyone was at the glass staring in.

"Watch out for Brit." Santana called out. Everyone quickly moved over so Brittany could get close to the glass.

Jackson walked closer with the little baby girl in his arms and lifted her tiny arm to wave at Brittany as he stared at his daughter with a huge smile on his face.

"She's a ginger." Brittany laughed out. "Look at that curly strawberry blonde hair!" She then gushed. "Oh my god! She has freckles! And chubby cheeks!" Brittany rattled out as she got more and more excited.

"She's a doll." Santana agreed.

"You see her daddy?" Brittany said softly to herself as she looked up. "She's beautiful." She said as tears sprang to her eyes.

"She has those signature Pierce blue eyes." Mercedes laughed.

"That is Danielle Brittany Matthews." Santana smiled. "Your niece."

"Our niece." Brittany said while hugging Santana tightly.
