RIP Kobe and Gianna
Hey Guys! Please Review and Keep Reading!
Friday (April 23rd) Morning 5:30am:
Brittany sat up on the edge of the bed and stretched before looking at the clock on the nightstand. She sighed and got out of bed, walking past the packed luggage on the bedroom floor.
She walked into the bathroom and jumped into the shower.
Santana heard the water turn on and woke up. She sighed and got out of bed before walking to the bathroom to join her wife in the shower.
Brittany smiled, "Morning Beautiful."
Santana smiled back, "Morning Baby. We have to hurry."
Brittany nodded.
They showered quickly before getting dressed.
Brittany ran upstairs and woke James up, "Hey James. We have to wake up and go."
It took a while for them to get all three of the kids ready.
8:00am:
They got to the private airport and met up with Bridgett and Dani as well as Eric, Holly and Andy.
They all got on the plane and put the luggage while Santana, Brittany and Bridgett buckled the kids up into their seats.
Brittany checked all three kids before going to get a drink from the dining cabin.
Dani was in there, talking to Andy about his interest in singing.
"Hey Nancy, can I get a black coffee?" Brittany asked one of the attendants.
Nancy nodded, "Sure. I'll bring it to you."
Brittany smiled and headed to find Santana in the main cabin.
Santana was talking to Holly while Bridgett and Eric talked a few feet away
Brittany walked over to the kids in their car seats buckled into plane seats. All three children were sound asleep despite the chatter around them.
"Here you are Mrs. Pierce." Nancy said, handing Brittany her coffee.
"Thanks" Brittany smiled and took as sip of the hot liquid.
11:30am:
They all got off the plane and headed to the waiting cars.
Santana and Brittany were staying at Santana's parents house while Bridgett and Dani were staying with the Pierce family.
Eric, Holly and Andy headed to the Eric's farm.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow at the baby shower." Holly said
"Alright. Bye" Brittany smiled at the others as Santana got the kids into the limo safely.
They headed to the Lopez house and when they arrived, Antonio met them in the driveway, wanting to help them inside.
"Thanks Papi!" Santana smiled as her father grabbed Allison's car seat.
Brittany got James and William while Santana brought in some luggage with the help of Antonio's butler.
They completely settled in Santana's old room while they put the kid's stuff in Diego's old room.
1:30pm:
Brittany and Santana got freshened up and got the kids freshened up before going back down to the main floor.
Antonio immediately picked James up and twirled him around, "Hey neito!" He smiled. Neito meant grandson in Spanish.
Brittany smiled as Maribel took William from Santana.
Britt held All and kissed her on the cheek as she sat down on the couch.
"Ally" Brittany whispered making the infant giggle.
Santana looked over at her wife and daughter. The scene made her smile as she walked over and sat next to the blonde.
Santana leaned over and kissed Allison on the side of her head, "Hey Ally."
"Pretty girl." Brittany muttered against the side of Ally's head, smiling as her daughter giggled.
"Neita" Maribel smiled as her granddaughter
Santana smiled reached for Ally who reached back. Brittany handed her daughter to San and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Santana asked her wife.
Brittany smiled, "I need some water."
"Oh. Alice, could you get Brittany a glass of ice water?" Maribel asked their maid.
Alice nodded, "Sure. I'll be right back."
A moment later she brought out a tray with a pitcher of lime ice water and some glasses.
"Thank you so much, Alice." Brittany smiled
"You're welcome."
Brittany poured herself a glass and took a sip before turning, smiling at her oldest son in his grandfather, Lito's arms.
"Is our late lunch ready?" Antonio asked the butler who nodded and led the way to the back patio where a table was set up. There were already three highchairs set up for the kids.
They all sat down at the table and began to eat the chicken salad sandwiches the kitchen staff had made for them.
3:00pm:
All three kids were exhausted from the busy day, so they put them in Diego's old room in travel cribs and a travel cot for James.
Once all three children were safe in the beds, Brittany and Santana went back down to the living room with a baby monitor.
Brittany sat on the couch and her wife sat next to her, leaning against the blonde. Britt wrapped her arm around Santana's shoulders and kissed the side of her head before looking over at her in laws.
"How have you girls been since the scare?" Maribel asked.
Santana nodded, "We've been good. It was…"
"Terrifying but we could have handled it." Brittany spoke up, "I am thrilled that it happened the way it did but we're strong. You're strong." Brittany said
Santana smiled at her wife.
Antonio smiled, "She is. You both are but I'm happy about the results."
Santana nodded, "Me too."
They were silent for a moment before Antonio spoke up, "I've noticed that James knows a quite a few words for his age."
"He's 19 months, right?" Maribel asked
Brittany nodded, "Yeah. He's a smart kid."
Santana smiled, "He's growing up so fast."
Maribel and her husband smiled, nodding.
"He's a great kid. You girls are doing a wonderful job raising your children." Antonio smiled
Brittany grinned, "Thank you, Antonio. That means a lot."
Antonio nodded at the Brittany, smiling, "I remember when you two started dating. I came to your hospital room and…"
"Scared the shit out of me." Brittany added, grinning
They all laughed.
"Good." Antonio smirked, "That's what I meant to do. Santana had been talking nonstop about this girl named Brittany."
Brittany smirked at her wife, "You talked about me?"
Santana blushed slightly, "Yeah."
Maribel smiled then sighed, "I am so sorry for how I used to act. I'm not proud of my actions in those days."
"Honey, you just had a bad phase." Antonio said, nodding at his wife and squeezing her hand, lovingly.
Maribel nodded, "I do remember when you girls were in high school. You had quite the drama filled teen years."
Santana laughed, rolling her eyes, "You're telling me…"
Maribel smiled then sighed, "I need to check my emails. I'm sorry that I couldn't take off work."
The girls nodded as both of Santana's parents stood up.
"Me too. I'll be right back." Antonio said before going to his home office.
When they left the room, Brittany turned to her wife and grinned, "We still had a lot of good days back then."
Santana nodded, "Yeah we did. I remember when I first met you at the community center."
"Thank God your brother was working there with me." Brittany laughed
Santana nodded, "I know. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I had never met you."
Brittany shook her head, smiling, "We always would have found each other." She said quietly.
Santana nodded, "Yeah, you're right."
Brittany kissed Santana on the lips before saying, "But I am glad we met so early on in our lives."
Santana nodded again, "Me too."
"Do you remember our first date?" Brittany asked
Santana laughed, "How could I ever forget. You took me to see Grease and we got wings then we went to the park to look at the stars."
Brittany nodded, "It's funny that we were already in love on our first date."
"Well it's sad that it took such a long time before we could even go on an official date. Since you crashed your bike and nearly died."
Brittany sighed, "Yeah. That sucked."
Santana rolled her eyes, "Seriously? It beyond sucked."
Brittany smiled, "That was a long time ago, San. I love the life we've made."
"Me too, Baby." Santana said as her parents walked back in.
"Well Derek Holden won't be bothering you anymore." Maribel said, looking odd as she walked in the room.
"How's that?" Brittany asked
"He's dead." Maribel replied
Santana and Brittany looked shocked.
"What happened?" Brittany asked, feeling relieved but also slightly bad for Gabby's husband.
"He killed himself in solitary." Maribel replied.
"I hated him but that's sort of sad." Santana said, "Does Eric know?"
"Your father is calling Gabby." Maribel answered, "She'll tell Eric. I hate that his family was full of…well…"
"Crazy motherfuckers." Brittany mumbled making her mother in law smile and slightly nod.
They suddenly heard Allison crying. Brittany stood up and headed upstairs.
"Hey Darlin", Santana heard Brittany whisper over the baby monitor making San smile.
Maribel looked at her daughter, smiling, "She's a wonderful mother."
Santana nodded, "She's incredible. She is so calm almost all the time. One of the kids will be wiling and crying and she so calm. I don't know how she does it."
Maribel smiled, "You're doing just fine, mi hija. Your kids love you both so much. That is clear."
Santana smiled, "Thank you, Mami."
"I mean it, Santana. You are a fantastic mother." Maribel smiled genuinely at her daughter, "I'm proud of you, sweetie."
Santana smiled, holding back tears, "Thank you."
7:30pm:
After dinner they all gathered in the living room and talked for a while. The kids all played in the floor on blankets that Brittany had spread out on the floor.
Brittany and Antonio discussed the studio and it's success while Santana spoke with her mother about the kids and how their personalities were beginning to shine through.
"James is like a mini-Brittany. It's incredible. He copies everything she does and watched her every move. Ally is a lot like I was when I was a kid. She's loud and let's you know when something is going no that she doesn't approve of." Santana said, "William is the polar opposite of his sister though. He is calm and only show a temper or gets distressed when something is really wrong."
Maribel smiled, "I loved discovering yours, Diego's and Gabby's personalities. It was amazing how different you all were from each other."
"What wav Gabby like as a baby?" Santana asked
Maribel smiled, "She was loud and funny. She laughed all the time but when she got sad, she let everyone know. Honestly, you two had a little bit in common except that you rarely crying. When you had something to express you just babbled nonstop till we acted like we understood what you were saying."
Santana laughed and Brittany smiled since she and Antonio had been listening to their conversation.
10:45pm:
All the kids were asleep, and Brittany was in Santana's old room, changing into her pajamas.
Santana walked into the room and smiled at her bare-assed wife, "Hey, cute ass."
Brittany looked over her shoulder and laughed, "Thanks. Where were you?" she asked as she pulled on boxers and a pair of pajama pants.
"I was talking to Papi downstairs. He helped me wrap the baby shower gifts." Santana replied as she began to change into her pajamas.
Brittany nodded, "I told Ma that we'd be there around 9am to help set up."
Santana smiled, "That was sweet of you. Papi has to work so he can't be there for the actual shower, but he can probably come help in the morning."
"Ok. Well I set an alarm for 6am so we have time to shower and get the kids ready." Brittany said as she checked the alarms on her phone.
Santana nodded and set an alarm on her phone for 15 minutes later just to make sure they actually got up. She turned off her lamp and rolled over in her queen size bed.
"It's nice being so close to you." Brittany muttered.
Santana smiled and scooted closer, "I know but I like that we have a king size bed so the kids can sleep with us decently comfortably."
Brittany nodded and kissed the top of her wife's head, "I love you, San"
"I love you too, Baby." Santana replied before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.
Saturday (April 24th) Morning 8:30am:
Brittany, Santana, Antonio and Maribel took the kids with them to the Pierce house. They were going to help Bonnie get the ready for Autumn's baby shower.
They rode in a hired limo over to the house and headed inside. Antonio went out onto the newly built patio and found Brent carrying charcoal over to the grill.
Brittany headed down to the basement to see her brothers while Santana stayed upstairs with the kids and their mothers.
Brittany knocked on Benny's bedroom door which was also her old bedroom.
"Come in." she heard Benny holler through the door,
She opened it and walked in. He was sitting at his desk, writing something down, "Hey Britt!" He grinned "Hold on one sec." he muttered as he finished writing his note, "Ok what's up?"
Brittany smirked, "What are you up to?"
"I was just writing Autumn a note. I have leave for a bit but I plan to be back before the shower starts." Benny said
Brittany furrowed her brow and nodded, "Ok, but where are you going?"
Benny walked over to his sister and checked behind her at the rest of the basement to make sure no one was there.
He looked at Brittany and sighed, "Alright so I have this plan…" Benny grinned
9:15am:
Brittany and Benny headed up to the kitchen. Britt pulled her wife aside.
"I'm going somewhere with Chief. We should be back in time."
"Where are you going?" Santana asked confused since the shower wasn't till that afternoon.
Brittany sighed and heard a truck honk, "I have to go, San but I'll be back asap."
Santana nodded, "Fine but you're explaining all this later."
"Of course, Love." Brittany said before kissing her wife and running out the front door.
10:00am:
Brittany drove her father's truck with Benny in the passenger seat.
"So explain it to me one more time." Brittany said as she turned onto the interstate.
Benny nodded, "Ok. Autumn has a best friend named Lori. See, Autumn moved here last year from Columbus and she never gets to see Lori."
Brittany nodded, "And we're going to get Lori to surprise Autumn for the shower?"
Benny nodded, "Basically. Since her folks disowned her, none of her family will speak to her. Lori is the only person Autumn has besides me and they love each other like they're sisters." Benny explained, "At first she wasn't even going to be in the state this weekend. I called her this morning and she said that her plans were cancelled, and she'd love to come but she had no way to Lima. Everyone else was busy so I figured I'd go get her." He shrugged.
Brittany nodded, "Well it was a really good plan except that you don't have your license yet, dude."
Benny laughed, "Minor detail."
"Not if you got pulled over." Brittany said, "…but I give you props for the plan."
11:30am:
They got to Columbus and Benny called Lori. She told them she's meet them at the public library downtown.
Brittany pulled into the library's parking garage and parked the truck while they waited.
11:55am:
"There she is." Benny said pointing over at brunette girl that was about 15 years old.
Benny hopped out of the truck, "Hey Lori."
"Hey Benny. Thanks for coming to get me. I really didn't want to miss Autumn's baby shower." Lori smiled
Benny smiled back, "I'm just glad this is working out. That's my older sister, Brittany. Hop in. we need to get back."
Both teenagers hopped into he truck and Brittany headed out of the parking garage.
1:45pm:
They got to the Pierce house and headed inside.
"I'm glad we got back before it started."
"Which means that I only have an hour the shower and get dressed." Benny sighed
Lori followed Brittany and Benny to the kitchen where they found the girls.
Autumn looked over and her jaw dropped, "Lori!"
"Hey!" Lori smiled, "Your boyfriend came and got me." She said knowing what her best friend was going to ask as they hugged.
"I need to go shower real quick…" Benny said
Autumn smiled and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him as best she could with her round stomach, "Thank you, Baby"
Benny smiled, "You're welcome, Babe." He winked before kissing her on the lips, "I'm going to jump in the shower. I'll be back soon."
"Ok." Autumn said before turning back to her best friend.
Santana smirked at her wife, "Were you part of Benny's mission?"
Brittany laughed, "Execution was flawless."
Santana rolled her eyes grinning, "Cute."
2:30pm:
Everyone began to arrive around 2 and the shower began half an hour later.
All of Benny and Autumn's friends from school were there along with some of Benny's family.
Everyone got to decorate onesies and make pages for the scrapbook while they enjoyed cake and punch.
Brent grilled out so anyone who wanted to could have a burger or a hotdog.
3:45pm:
Brittany and Dani were standing behind their wives, watching Autumn and Benny open gifts.
"This is crazy. It's still hard t o believe that little Benny is having a baby…" Dani whispered to Brittany.
Brittany took a sip of her punch and nodded, "He's already grown up a lot. I know it's not going to be easy but I'm proud of how he's handling the situation."
Dani smiled, "I know you two have always been close. I remember when he was like 5 and I heard about how he fell off of some bookshelves."
"Oh yeah" Brittany nodded, "That was crazy. How'd you hear about that?"
"Just one of the many stories I hear from my wife." Dani smirked
Brittany nodded, glancing at her younger sister who was chatting with Santana.
"She tells a lot of stories, huh?" Brittany asked
"She loves to reminisce on the days when we all were growing up." Dani smiled
Brittany grinned, "Good times."
5:30pm:
After the party ended and all of the guests went home, the family began to clean up.
Brittany walked into the kitchen and grabbed a trash bag before going back to the living room to clean up the trash.
Santana walked into the kitchen where Autumn was eating a piece of cake.
Santana smiled and Autumn blushed, "Believe or not, this is my first piece."
Santana shook her head, "You're pregnant, who cares if it's your first piece."
Autumn laughed, "Thanks"
Brittany and Benny carried the trash out to the dumpster while everyone else relaxed in the living room with the children.
Bridgett, who was holding her niece, looked up when she heard something bang in the kitchen.
"I'm good!" Benny said
"What happened?" Bonnie asked as she heard Brittany laughing in the kitchen.
"I uh…I tripped."
"On?" Brent smirked
"Air…" Benny muttered
Brittany grinned, "It was ankle level air turbulence."
Everyone laughed as Britt and Benny sat down in the living room.
7:45pm:
Brittany, Santana and Maribel took the kids back to the Lopez mansion.
They carried the three sleeping children inside and got them ready for bed.
"What is the plan for tomorrow?" Brittany asked her wife as they walked into San's old room.
Santana thought for a moment before replying, "Everyone is coming over here to spend some time together before we leave. Our flight is planned to take off at 5pm."
Brittany nodded. They relaxed and spent time with Maribel till they all decided to go to bed.
Sunday (April 25th) Morning 9:30am:
Bonnie and Brent arrived at the Lopez mansion with their 3 of their kids as well as Dani and Autumn.

They spent the afternoon playing board games and cards till it was time to go to the private airport.
2:40pm:
They were playing games when the doorbell rang. The butler went to answer it and let Carly into the house.
Carly walked into the living room holding two large pieces of luggage.
"Can I fly back with you guys? I miss Callie." Carly asked
Brittany smiled, "Of course."
5:30pm:
The plane took off.
When it was safe, everyone unbuckled and moved to the dinging cabin for dinner.
Carly and Brittany talked about Carly's photography as they ate.
"Can you take a family portrait while you're in New York?" Brittany asked her cousin"
"Sure!" Carly smiled
