Chapter 52
"Is time it time NOW?" Charlie asked impatiently for the third time in the last three minutes. She was excited and just a little bit frustrated waiting for her mothers and siblings to arrive for her birthday party.
"Not yet sweetie but they will be here soon." Maribel said as she sat on the edge of Charlie's hospital bed with Linda. They were watching her color in a new coloring book her Abuela and Abuelo Lopez had given her for her birthday. Maribel looked at Carlos who was sitting in a chair beside the bed. He gave Maribel a wink. Stephen was busy making sure the Happy Birthday banner they hung up was straight. The truth was he was keeping himself busy because even though Charlie was getting better it was difficult for him to see her in the hospital. All four of the grandparents were feeling a bit emotional today with it being Charlie's 4th birthday. They all felt grateful and blessed that Charlie was getting better but at the same time they couldn't help but think about how close they came to possibly planning her funeral instead of a birthday party.
The doctor thought it was best to keep Charlie's birthday party visitors to her parents and siblings so Maribel and Linda told Santana and Brittany they would be in charge of decorating Charlie's room that way they could spend a few minutes with her on her actual birthday. They were going to have their own celebration with Charlie in a couple of days.
Charlie looked up quickly from her coloring when she heard the door to her hospital room open. Her eyes grew big when she saw a clown walk into the room holding two balloons with Happy Birthday written on them. One was round and had all of the colors of the rainbow on it and the other one was star shaped with different color little stars all over it. The clown had red hair and full clown makeup on his face with big floppy shoes on his feet. His face of course was covered with a mask and he had on a gown and protective gloves. His big floppy clown shoes were uncovered however. This special clown had made sure his shoes were properly cleaned and sterilized before entering the room.
"I'm looking for a little girl who has a birthday today." The clown said in a silly voice after he entered the room. He walked over to the bed where Maribel and Linda were sitting with Charlie. He put his hand on Maribel's shoulder, "Are you the little girl who has a birthday today?" Maribel smiled and shook her head no while Charlie giggled out loud. He then moved on to Linda, "Are you the little girl who has a birthday today?"
This time Charlie giggled even louder, "They aren't little girls they are my abuela and grandma."
Maribel and Linda got up from the bed so the clown could talk to Charlie. "Do you know where the little girl is who has a birthday today?"
"It's me!" Charlie said loudly.
The clown scowled at her, "Are you sure it's you? I was told the little girl's name is Charlie. You don't look like a Charlie."
"I'm Charlie!" Charlie said loudly and giggled again. Her grandparents loved hearing Charlie's giggle again because it had been silenced by the cancer for the past few months. The clown tied the birthday balloons to the bed.
The clown smiled at Charlie, "Very nice to meet you Charlie. I'm Bonzo the birthday clown." Bonzo held out his hand to shake Charlie's hand but when she reached out a bouquet of yellow flowers suddenly appeared in his hand as if out of nowhere. Charlie's eyes got big. "For the birthday girl." Bonzo handed the flowers to Charlie.
Charlie looked at the flowers and noticed two of them had fake bumble bees on them. She loved her flowers. "Thanks Bonzo."
"You're welcome but I have one more surprise for you." Bonzo reached into his pocket and took out a small bicycle horn so it make a tooting noise. When he did the hospital door opened and in walked Collin, Maya, and Riley all three dressed in their hospital attire.
Charlie got so excited her eyes were as bright as the smile on her face. She hadn't seen her siblings in over 2 months. Maya couldn't contain her excitement either and ran to Charlie's bed. The little girls looked at one another and just giggled as they hugged. Collin walked over to the bed and stood there smiling at Charlie. "Hi Charlie, we've missed you. Happy Birthday!" Collin tried to act the tough big brother but he couldn't stop his voice cracking with emotion. He was old enough to understand just how sick Charlie had been and how worried his mothers had been over the past few months. He also knew Matthew had something to do with Charlie getting better but he wasn't sure what it was. He had overheard his mothers talking to his grandparents one night.
Riley stood back observing like he usually does. Linda noticed this and put her arm around him. This simple gesture from his grandmother seemed to let him know it was ok so he walked up to the bed. "This is for you Charlie. I bought them with my own allowance money." It was a small wrapped package which you could tell he had wrapped himself. Charlie tore it open and found a packet of 8 markers. She pulled the markers to her chest as if hugging them. "Thank you Riley! I need these." Riley smiled shyly at his sister. "Happy Birthday!"
Charlie looked around, "Where are Mom and Mami?"
"Matthew messed his pants so they are changing him. He smelled." Maya said through her hospital mask as she attempted to pinch her nose.
"Well, I'd better be going. Happy Birthday Charlie." Bonzo the clown said.
Charlie wiggled her finger for Bonzo to come closer so she could whisper to him, "Thanks Unca Andrew. I love you."
Andrew should have known he couldn't fool Charlie. "I love you too kiddo and so does Aunt Sugar and Jake. They miss you and can't wait to see you." Jake is Andrew and Sugar's 7-month old son.
Andrew said his goodbyes to the kids and grandparents, who already knew their Uncle Andrew was dressing up like a clown for Charlie. As Andrew was walking out of the hospital room Brittany and Santana were getting ready to go in.
"How did it go?" Brittany asked her brother.
"It went really well. I thought I had her fooled but right before I left she said to me 'thank you Unca Andrew'.
Brittany and Santana both laughed, "Should've know you can't fool Charlie. Thanks for making her birthday special." Santana said sincerely.
"It was my pleasure. I hadn't seen her in so long. I have to admit it was a shock when I saw how fragile she looked physically but when she talked and giggled I knew she was going to be ok." Andrew's emotions were heard in voice. Andrew understood what it means to love a child of your own now that he and Sugar are parents. It's a love like no other. He couldn't imagine what Brittany and Santana had been going through since Charlie's cancer diagnosis. Jake had his first cold recently and Andrew and Sugar hated seeing their little boy suffering. Parents wish they could take away any pain their child suffers. They would gladly bear the pain and suffering themselves.
"Physically she has a long way to go but she's already improved so much. Tell Sugar we said hi and give our nephew a kiss from both of us." Brittany touched Andrew's arm as they parted ways.
Santana and Brittany walked into the hospital room and just stood there taking in the sight that was right in front of them. Charlie was now sitting on the side of her bed with her feet dangling down the side. Maya and Riley were sitting on each side of her. Collin sat in the chair Carlos had been sitting in earlier. The children were all talking at once and laughing. Maya and Collin had now given Charlie their presents so there was wrapping paper all over the floor by the bed.
"Look. Tada!" Charlie shouted as she whipped her knit cap off. "My hair is growing back!"
Maya reached up and felted of the hair. "It's so soft. It's like Matthew's hair. Well at least what little bit of hair he has."
Charlie couldn't resist it so she reached over and rubbed Collin's head. "Yup still feels like a porkapine." Collin laughed at his little sister and just rolled his eyes. He had tried his best to teach Charlie how to correctly say porcupine, however, he had to admit her way of saying it was cute.
When Charlie started losing her hair from the chemo Santana and Brittany explained to her and to her siblings that the medicine Charlie was getting was strong to kill the cancer and unfortunately it was making her hair fall out. Collin came to his mother's a few days later and asked if he could get a buzz cut so Charlie wasn't the only one losing any hair. Santana and Brittany were touched but not surprised by Collin's thoughtfulness. He is a very caring and compassionate young boy. Santana and Brittany agreed he could a buzz cut. Once they told Collin it was ok of course Riley wanted to get a buzz cut too. So the boys both got buzz cuts and have been keeping their hair that way since then. Charlie loved rubbing their heads because it was prickly like a porcupine. Luckily Grandpa Pierce is a whiz with the electric hair clippers so he has been keeping the boys' hair trimmed. Maya wanted to do something too so Santana and Brittany took her to a beauty salon where they cut hair and sent it off to make wigs of real hair for cancer patients. Maya loved her long hair but she didn't hesitate in having a few inches of her hair cut off. Santana and Brittany also got their hair cut that day and donated it.
Santana and Brittany laughed at their children as they stood there watching them interact for the first time in months. They were especially happy at how much more energy Charlie seemed to have today. Then their eyes met the eyes of their parents who were also standing back watching the children. They all had huge smiles on their faces. It was happiest the family had been in several months.
Charlie happened to look up and saw Santana and Brittany standing there and without thinking she quickly got off the bed and started walking towards her mothers. She was still walking slowly but she was able to walk on her own. Unfortunately, she couldn't quite reach her mothers because her IV tube wasn't that long so they walked to meet her.
Brittany knelt down and hugged their daughter, "Happy Birthday sweetie!"
Charlie then looked at Santana who was holding a baby carrier. Santana handed the carrier to Brittany so she could give Charlie a hug. "Happy Birthday Charlie!"
When the hug was over Charlie looked into the baby carrier at Matthew. She had seen him in pictures and videos but this was the first time she was seeing him person. He was now two months old. Santana and Brittany watched Charlie as she looked at her brother closely. He had to wear a mask like the rest of them and at first he wasn't very happy about it but a few minutes later he was fast asleep.
"He's so little. I wish he wasn't sleeping." Charlie said in a quiet voice.
"He will wake up before we leave. Babies sleep a lot. When he wakes up you can hold him." Brittany said rubbing Charlie's back. Charlie continued to stare at Matthew. Brittany and Santana had been excited for Charlie to meet Matthew, they wondered what would be going through her mind. "Where did you get this beautiful dress?" Charlie stopped staring at Matthew when she heard Brittany's question.
"Grandma and Abuela gave it to me for my birthday. I love it! It's my favorite color purple." Charlie did her best to twirl around.
"It's a very pretty dress and you look beautiful wearing it." Santana kissed Charlie's cheek.
"We are going to go so the party can get started. Now remember Charlie, Grandma and I are stopping by the day after tomorrow and we are having our own birthday tea with you." Maribel said as she stroked the purple knit cap that matched her dress.
"I can't wait! Are Grandpa and Abuelo coming too?" Charlie asked looking at her grandfathers.
Neither hesitated to answer, "We'd love to." They said at the same time.
After saying their goodbyes to their grandchildren, the grandparents said goodbye to their daugthers. "Thank you for decorating the room and thank you for getting Charlie the dress. It's beautiful." Santana said to her parents and in-laws.
Maribel and Linda both said it was something special they wanted to do for Charlie and that they had a wonderful time going together and picking out the dress.

Charlie opened her gifts from Santana and Brittany before eating birthday cake and ice cream. Everyone could take their hospital masks off to eat. Before visiting the hospital that day Santana and Brittany had to make sure none of the children had a fever or felt ill. This was something they would need to monitor constantly when Charlie comes home. A few of the nurses joined in the celebration and ate a piece of cake too.
After a couple hours it was clear that Charlie was getting tired and needed to rest. The other children were busy watching TV so Santana helped Charlie change out of her dress and into her pajamas. Charlie was so happy she no longer had to wear a hospital gown and could wear her own pajamas. She was wearing her favorite ones with penguins on. While Santana was helping Charlie change Matthew woke up and started to cry so Brittany took him out of the hospital room to change him.
A few minutes later Brittany returned to the room with Matthew but they weren't alone. Santana scowled when she saw her parents and Brittany's parents walked into the room with Brittany.
"Um…why are you back here?" Santana asked her parents and in-laws looking confused and a bit worried.
Before any of them could answer Maya spoke up from where she was watching TV, "Collin and I are going to have a sleepover with Abuela and Abuelo, and Riley and Matthew are going to have a sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa."
Santana was still scowling because this was the first she had heard of the kids sleeping over with their parents. "Britt, what's going on?" Brittany handed Matthew to her mother and then took Santana's hand leading her over to the hospital room door away from everyone else.
Brittany continued to hold Santana's hand. She was a bit nervous because she knew Santana wasn't a big fan of surprises. She also felt a little guilty because she could see the look of worry in Santana's eyes. After everything they had been through in the past several months with the pregnancy and Charlie getting sick, Santana was always on edge worrying what was going to happen next.
"I…um…asked our parents if the kids could spend the night with them after the party so we could have some alone time together. Charlie will be coming home soon and the kids will be getting out school for the summer…I just thought you and I could use a night alone together. You know what, I shouldn't have planned this without asking you first…Matthew is only 2 months old and it's too soon for him to spend a night away from home…plus our parents have been so helpful during Charlie's illness that we should be ones giving them a night off from sitting with Charlie at the hospital or watching the kids for us…I'll just tell them we've changed our minds..."
Brittany was surprised when her rambling was stopped when Santana kissed her the best she could through the masks they were wearing. When Santana pulled back Brittany could tell she was smiling even though she couldn't see Santana's lips, she could see the smile in Santana's eyes.
"I love your surprise." Were the only words Santana said.
"Really? Because if you think it's best for Matthew to stay with us I'll understand." The one part of the surprise that worried Brittany the most was both of them spending their first night away from Matthew at only two months old. They each had spent nights away from Matthew separately when they had stayed with Charlie in the hospital but one or both of them had been with him every night since he was born.
"I know the other kids didn't spend the night away from us until they were about six months old but this is a different, our lives have been different." Santana reached up and stroked the side of the Brittany's face with her gloved covered hand. "I'd love to spend the night alone with you." Brittany felt her cheeks getting warm from Santana's touch and words. It didn't matter that the touch was through gloves Brittany could still feel the love in Santana's touch.
Brittany leaned into Santana's touch. "I can't wait to spend the night alone with you. I missed being with you."
Santana and Brittany continued to gaze lovingly into each other eyes until they heard, "Can I hold Matthew now?"
Santana and Brittany looked over at Charlie who was sitting on her bed looking at Matthew who was still being held by Brittany's mother. Brittany walked over to her mother who handed Matthew to her. Their parents knew it was going to be an emotional time for Santana and Brittany when Charlie and Matthew interacted for the first time. Santana and Brittany hadn't told their parents about Charlie's dream wanting to wait until after the two met.
Brittany and Santana said their goodbyes to Maribel, Carlos, Collin, and Maya. Linda and Stephen took Riley out of the hospital room to the waiting room to wait so they could also take Matthew with them when they left. Now there was only Charlie, Matthew, Brittany, and Santana left.
Santana, who was carrying Matthew in her arms, and Brittany walked over to Charlie's hospital bed. The back of Charlie's hospital bed was elevated in an upright position so she was sitting up. Santana carefully got into Charlie's bed so she could sit next to her. Brittany sat on the edge of bed. Charlie looked at Matthew, who was wide awake, and looking at her with his grayish blue eyes. "Charlie, this is Matthew your little brother. Matthew, this is your big sister Charlie." Santana made the introductions as the two siblings continued to look at one another. "Would you like to hold Matthew?" Santana asked. Charlie nodded her head yes with a smile on her face. Santana carefully placed Matthew on Charlie's lap and showed her how to cradle his head.
Matthew looked up at Charlie and moved his tiny arms around a little bit until his fist finally found its way into his mouth. It was his a new found skill trying to fit his entire fist in his mouth. Once his fist reached his mouth he would suck on it. Matthew didn't take his eyes off from Charlie for even a second. Charlie giggled when Matthew started sucking on his fist. Santana and Brittany watched as both smiled lovingly at the interaction between their children.
Then Charlie leaned forwarded to kiss Matthew's forehead and started talking to him. "Hi Matthew. I'm Charlie your big sister. Today's my birthday so now I'm 4. Yesterday I was 3. Do you remember me from when you were in my dream?" Matthew took his fist out of his mouth and smiled up at Charlie. "Did you see that Matthew smiled at me?" Charlie asked her mothers excitedly.
Santana and Brittany had been so engrossed in watching the interaction between Charlie and Matthew that they took a second to react. "We saw him smile sweetie and you know what? That was the first time he smiled at anyone." Brittany…
Charlie made big eyes, "Really?"
"It really was his first smile. I think it was his way saying Happy Birthday Charlie!" Santana said her voice full of emotion.
Santana and Brittany looked at one another and they both were emotional. Their daughter was holding her baby brother who had come into their lives as huge surprise and who also just happened to have saved her life. There was no doubt in their minds that miracles do happen.
After smiling at Charlie, Matthew's fist found its way back into his mouth. Charlie continued talking to him. "I don't understand how you got into my head to be in my dream. You were still in Mami's tummy. Mom always says dreams are magical. I guess she's right cause I don't understand how you talked to me in my dream when you are just a baby and can't talk. I thought you were Riley in my dream because you sounded like him but then you told me you were my new brother Matthew. I didn't see you in my dream. You only talked to me. You told me I would feel better when you were born and you were right. I still feel tired sometimes but I feel a lot better. When I didn't feel good I saw angels in my dreams." Charlie paused for a few moments before smiling at Matthew. "I can't wait to come home. I miss my room and my toys and Mom and Mami and Collin and Maya and Riley." Charlie kissed Matthew on the forehead again. It was clear Charlie was very tired from her party and all of the excitement of seeing her siblings again. Her eyes were starting to droop closed.
Santana and Brittany both had tears running down their faces after listening to Charlie talk to Matthew about her dream. Charlie hadn't talked about the dream since the night she had it when Matthew was born. She also never told them she saw angels in her dreams. Hearing that really hit Brittany and Santana hard because it showed them just how close they came to losing their daughter.
Santana wiped her tears away. "It's getting late and you need to get some rest birthday girl." Charlie nodded her head yes because she was almost falling asleep. Santana took Matthew from Charlie's arms, who was also falling asleep.
Brittany took Matthew from Santana, "I'm going take Matthew to my parents in the waiting room so they can take him and Riley home with them."
Santana leaned down and kissed Matthew's forehead and then kissed each cheek. "You have a good night with Grandma and Grandpa. We'll miss you." Santana's voice cracked a bit.
"Honey, we can take Matthew home with us if you feel it's too soon for him to be away from us overnight." Brittany could see how difficult it was for Santana to say goodbye to Matthew. Brittany was going to miss him too but Santana's body was still trying to adjust from having a baby. Those baby hormones can be powerful.
"No, it's ok. I know he will be great hands with your parents. I'm looking forward to us being alone tonight." Santana really was looking forward to being alone with Brittany. She knew they needed some alone time after the dramatic events of the past several months. Brittany took Matthew to the waiting room where her parents and Riley were waiting.
Brittany returned to the hospital room to find Charlie sound asleep cuddled up in Santana's arms who lying beside her bed. Santana's eyes were closed but Brittany knew she wasn't asleep and was only resting her eyes. Brittany sat down in the chair beside the bed.
"I just want to lay her with her for a few more minutes and then we can go home." Santana said without opening her eyes. Brittany responded by reaching out and squeezing Santana's hand. They hated leaving Charlie in the hospital alone for one minute but since she was feeling better and in remission no one from the family stayed with her overnight. To be honest Santana and Brittany and the grandparents had a more difficult time with it than Charlie. The nurses on the night shift were like family since Charlie had been in the hospital so long. She had really bonded with them. When she was so sick she would cry if she was alone without Santana, Brittany, or one of her grandparents there with her but now that she's feeling better she didn't cry anymore.

When Santana and Brittany left the hospital they decided to order a pizza because they didn't feel like going out to a restaurant to eat or cooking dinner when they got home. They spent dinner talking about the kids and about sending Collin, Maya, and Riley to summer day camps. It seemed nice to just sit and talk about normal family things. There were even several moments of comfortable silence between them.
"I'm going to take a nice hot bubble bath." Santana told Brittany after they had finished dinner.
"That sounds great. I'm going to go for a walk. I haven't been running or working out much over the past several months so a nice brisk walk is a good place to start. I'll have my cell phone with me so call if you need me." Brittany told Santana before the two shared a quick kiss and went their separate ways.
Brittany and Santana had gotten very good at reading each other over the years and Brittany could tell Santana had something on her mind that she was working out and wasn't quite ready to share it yet. Brittany could tell by the way Santana's forehead wrinkled on and off while they were eating like she was trying to figure something out in her mind. Brittany wasn't upset or hurt because she wanted to spend some time alone too that's why she decided to go for a walk. Tonight wasn't just about spending time alone together it was about spending a little time alone apart too. They needed it after having no time for themselves over the past several months.

Brittany walked into a dimly lit and quiet house. It was unusual for the house to be this quiet at this time of the night. Usually they would be trying to get the kids to take their baths and get them in bed but not tonight you could've heard a pin drop it was so quiet. Brittany locked the front door and made her way to the bedroom. The door was opened and when she walked into the room she wasn't really all that surprised to see Santana already in bed asleep.
Brittany's walk ended up being longer than she had planned for it to be. She had so many thoughts going through her head about the kids and Santana that she just kept walking and walking. Santana must have fallen asleep waiting for her to come home. Brittany watched her sleeping wife noticing how for the first time in months Santana's face looked relaxed while she slept instead of being tensed up with worry. Brittany couldn't wait any longer to cuddle with her wife so she went to take a shower and get ready for bed.
After taking her shower Brittany carefully climbed into bed not wanting to wake up Santana. Once in bed she snuggled up to Santana putting her left arm around Santana's waist. Brittany couldn't help but smile when her arm was met with skin instead of the material of a shirt. The t-shirt or tank top Santana was wearing had apparently slide up. Brittany loved the feeling of Santana's soft skin. Brittany was a bit surprised Santana hadn't moved when she felt Brittany's arm around her waist. Usually when she felt Brittany cuddle up to her should be do the same even if she was asleep.
Brittany moved her hand up to feel where Santana's shirt had slide up but was completely taken back when she felt the underside of Santana's bare breast. Santana hadn't moved yet. Brittany carefully pulled the top of the sheet away from Santana's body so she could look at her wife. Brittany's heart rate immediately increased when she took in the sight of a totally naked Santana. Brittany also felt her breathing rate increase as she took the sexy body of her wife. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen Santana totally naked in their bed. She had helped Santana take a shower after the car accident but they hadn't been intimate since they found out Santana was pregnant. It had been over 9 months.
"You're staring and drooling." Santana said in a sexy sleepy voice.
Brittany swallowed hard before answering, "Have you been awake this entire time?"
"No, I was trying my best not to fall sleep waiting for you to come back from your walk. I kept dozing on and off."
"Yeah, I'm sorry I was gone so long. I just lost track of time and kept walking. Sorry I made you wait." Brittany apologized.
Santana opened her eyes and reached over to caress Brittany's face, "You don't need apologize. I know you needed some alone time. So did I. Besides you know I'd wait for you forever." Santana paused and then laughed. "That sounded kind of corny."
Brittany smiled at her, "It wasn't corny to me because I would wait for forever too." Brittany leaned in and kissed Santana gently on the lips. When they kissed was over they gazed into each other's eyes lovingly for a few seconds.
Brittany leaned in to kiss Santana again and this time the kiss was passionate as Brittany took Santana's lower lip between her lips and then nipped at it. However, just before the kiss deepened and they got lost into each completely, Santana pulled back. "Britt sweetie, can we stop just for a minute? There's something I want to talk to you about." Brittany knew Santana had something on her mind but she just wished she hadn't chosen this moment to want to talk about it. Brittany nodded her head yes so Santana continued on.
They were laying on their side facing one another and their bodies were as close together as they could possibly be. "I don't want to go back to work when my maternity leave is over. Before you say anything please hear me out. I've been seriously thinking about this since Charlie went into remission. I know I've been very fortunate to work for an ad agency that allows to set my own hours and work from home two days a week. When we first met I was so into my career and being successful but to be honest with you right all I want to do is be home for the kids and you. I can't believe I'm saying that because I've always wanted to be a career woman. I'll understand if you have concerns about the idea of me not working because I won't be adding to our income." Santana said very quickly without taking a breath and waited for Brittany's reaction.
"Ok", Brittany replied just as quickly.
"Really? Ok, just like that. I thought we would need to talk about it because you know I would never make such a major decision on my own." Santana wasn't upset she was curious why Brittany didn't ask her questions about her not decision to not go back to work.
"I know you and I know you wouldn't make such a decision without thinking it through completely. Financially, we will be just fine. My studios are making more money every day and we have investments. Plus we have the $750,000 from the settlement with Dr. Stevens. I'm my own boss so I can maybe stay home a day once in a while so we can do stay at home mother things together. We can have a discussion about you not going back to work if you want to but I don't think it's necessary. I can see it in your eyes that is something very important to you. I trust you."
Santana had a tears in her eyes because as a couple they had grown so much together. They worked hard at their relationship and it wasn't always easy in the beginning but now they are in sync. She leaned forward so their foreheads and noses were touching. After a few moments they shared a soft loving kiss. When the kiss ended Brittany saw something she hadn't seen in Santana's eyes in a long time lust.
"We've got to get you naked just like me." Santana's tone of voice was sultry and deep. Santana quickly took off Brittany's sleep shorts and tank top. Santana paused for a moment to take in the beauty of Brittany's body which made her own body tingle as she felt the flood of wetness between her legs.
It wasn't clear who made the first move because everything happened so quickly. All that mattered was at that very moment Brittany was lying on top of Santana kissing her neck as her moans echoed through the bedroom.
"Britt, please just do it don't worry about being so damn careful!" Santana begged Brittany.
Brittany stopped kissing Santana's neck and looked into her eyes, "Are you sure?"
Santana nodded her head quickly, "Yes that's what makeup is for, I just need to feel your mouth on my neck." Brittany didn't have to be told twice she dove into Santana's neck with her mouth no longer being careful about leaving a mark Santana's neck. Santana's moans got louder and she arched her back as she felt the blood vessels in her neck burn and rupture as Brittany sucked harder on her neck. Brittany licked the spot to help soothe the burning. It had been so long that Brittany had left her mark on Santana's neck. Right now Santana was loving how Brittany was making her feel.
Brittany kissed from Santana's neck to her the valley between her breasts. Santana arched her back with every kiss. She felt like she could have an orgasm at any minute. Brittany sucked on the nipple of Santana's right breast that was erect and hard. Brittany was becoming more and more aroused with every moan from Santana.
"Britt baby, please touch me. I need to feel you inside me now!" Santana said as her breathing was becoming erratic. Brittany didn't hesitate for a second as she moved her hand between down between Santana's legs. Her finger brushed against Santana's engorged clit and Santana jerked her hips upward because she was so sensitive. Brittany's index and middle finger then began to massage Santana's clit in a circular motion while Santana's hips thrust upward. Brittany didn't want to tease Santana any longer so she inserted two fingers and became thrusting them in and out making sure she went deep enough to hit the spot that drove Santana's crazy.
Brittany was concentrating so on making Santana feel good she was surprised when she felt Santana's fingers on her swollen clit. Brittany moaned from the contact. Santana couldn't get her fingers inside Brittany but she wanted Brittany to feel the pleasure she was feeling too so she massaged her clit. Brittany could feel Santana's vagina clinching onto to her fingers more and more with every thrust. Several thrusts later Santana was riding out her orgasm feeling like she had taking some kind of drug.
Brittany was once again surprised when Santana, still recovering from her orgasm, managed to flip them so she was now on top. Santana didn't waste any time putting two fingers inside Brittany and thrusting them in and out at a fast pace. Brittany's back arched with every thrust and she knew she wasn't going to last long. Her orgasm hit her as Santana kept her fingers inside her wiggling the tips of her fingers onto Brittany's sensitive spot.
The two laid that way for several minutes, with Santana on top of Brittany, without saying a word. They both not only felt sexually satisfied but they both also felt the tension they had been under for so long leave their bodies. Santana's head was lying on Brittany's chest as Brittany rubbed Santana's back gently. "We need to do this more often. I think we should have the kids have a sleepover with our parents once a month." Santana said in raspy voice that Brittany recognized as her after sex voice.
Brittany giggled, "Just once a month? I wouldn't mind doing this a few time a week."
"I agree a few times a week would be great and is certainly doable. It's just nice once in a while not to have to worry about being quiet or having one of the kids knocking on the door when our we are in the middle of having sex." Santana kissed Brittany's chest just above her breast before she started to roll off from Brittany.
Brittany held Santana tight with her arms and wouldn't let her roll off from her. "Where do you think you are going?"
"I was going to lay beside you so we can cuddle."
"I want you to stay right her on top of me. I feel safe and loved when our bodies are touching like this." Brittany's voice trembled a bit when she spoke. Santana knew exactly what Brittany was saying because they were each other's lifeline and rock. "I feel like we can get through anything life throws at us when I feel this close to you." Brittany said with a stray tears running down her left cheek.
"Me too baby and I'm not going anywhere, I'm staying right where I am." Santana said as she once again kissed Brittany's chest. The two women feel asleep in that position and for the first time in months slept through the entire night without worrying about what tomorrow would bring.
TBC
A/N – I have been working on this chapter since my last update. I haven't given up on my stories and will now be able to update them more frequently. Work has been hectic for reasons I won't bore you with and my family is priority. Sometimes there's not enough hours in the day to do what I want to do. I am going to write one more chapter for this story. After that I will occasionally write one shot chapters. I'll will be updating Mommy? very soon for all of those who have been sending me PMs. Also, Unconditional Love. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Let me know. Next chapter find out what Santana and Brittany are going to do with the $750,000.
