Brittany answered the front door and let Carly inside. Since the entire family was in town they decided to do a large family portrait and a few separate portraits.
"Hey!" Carly smiled, carrying her photography equipment.
Blake ran over, "Hey Carly." He smiled
"Hey 12 year old!" Carly smiled, hugging her little cousin.
"I'm not 12 yet. Not till June." Blake laughed, "How's married life?"
Carly laughed.
"It's great!" Carly replied
Brittany grinned, "Speaking of marriage…where…"
"Honey!" Carly said, hollering over to the car where Callie was getting more of Carly's bags.
"I'll be right there." Callie said.
Brittany jogged out with her bare feet and helped Callie bring in the rest of the equipment.
"How are you?" Callie asked, "We've missed you at the studio."
"I'm good. Yeah. I just wanted to be home with San and the kids for the first few weeks."
"Olivia is 2 weeks old, right?" Callie asked as they set everything down in the foyer.
Brittany nodded, "Yeah"
"Let's take everything outside. It's supposed to rain this evening but should be clear for a while." Carly said
"Alright" Brittany said and together they took all the stuff outside.
Callie helped Carly set up while everyone got ready.
10:45am:
The entire house was full od people.
"Alright, let's take the big photo now!" Carly announced before getting everyone positioned in the backyard.
The picture included all of the Pierces kids and their families as well as the Lopez/Garcia kids and their families.
Once the large picture was taken, Carly separated the families.
They were all able to keep most of the children from having to change clothes.
2:30pm:
Finn had called the Glen Cove TU and had them bring over food for a late lunch.
"So how far along are you, Whit?" Brittany asked
"About 30 weeks" She replied, "So I'm nearly there."
Diego smiled, "I still can't believe we're going to have a girl."
"You guys pick out a name yet?" Brent asked
Whitney nodded, "Yeah. Her name is Vanessa Marie."
Santana smiled, "That's a beautiful name."
"It's so nice!" Michelle added
Maribel nodded and patted Diego on the shoulder, "You'll be a great dad for a little girl. She'll love you so much."
"Thanks, Mami" Diego smiled up at her from his seat.
Maribel kissed him on the top of the head and walked back to her seat.
"It's funny because currently there are 4 pregnancies in the crew and all of them are going to be girls." Santana said
"Really?" Brent asked, "Who all is pregnant?"
"Let's see…" Santana said thoughtfully, "Whit, Rachel, Cedes and Kitty."
"Wow that's…wow." Brent grinned, "So many of your friends have had kids."
"I know" Brittany laughed
"It's seems like yesterday all of you were starting high school." Bonnie smiled
Brittany grinned, "That's was forever ago."
"I know. You're so old now." Bonnie smirked, "Remember you're going to be 28 in August."
Brittany rolled her eyes, "Yeah yeah"
"Alright so it looks like the rain is coming in early." Carly said, bringing in the last of her equipment before it began to sprinkle.
"So what's the plan?" Bonnie asked her niece
Carly thought for a moment before replying, "So I got all of the main photographs that you all wanted.
Bella and Sophia walked over to the table.
"Mom, can I have some ice cream?" Bella asked
Sophia was 6 years old while Bella was 7 years old. Bella was obsessed with Benny but didn't want anyone talking about it.
"It's fine with me. but you have to ask Santana or Brittany because it's their ice cream."
Bella turned to Brittany, "Britt, can I have some ice cream?"
"Sure Little B" Brittany grinned, "I'll scoop some out for you and the other kids."
Brittany stood up and walked over to the freezer to grab the ice cream.
After the kids at e the ice cream, they all had a sugar high so the adults let them run around in the rain since there wasn't any lighting or thunder.
Brittany, Diego, Finn and Eric stood under the covered part of the patio and watched the young children run around in the rain. Carly put water resistant gear on her equipment and headed outside to take pictures of the kids.
Brittany looked over at William. He was sitting in a puddle, laughing with cousin, Otto as they splashed water on each other.
Brittany laughed, "D, you see that?"
Diego grinned and nodded, "I'm glad that Carly is getting pictures of this."
"Me too." Finn said as Brittany and Eric nodded.
9:00pm:
Santana laughed as she walked into the master bedroom, "All of the kids are exhausted."
"Yeah. They were out like a light." Brittany grinned as she pulled off her shirt, "I'm going to shower. Want to join?"
Santana looked at the baby monitor before nodding, "Sure. She looks like she's sleeping pretty well."
They stripped off their clothes and stepped into the shower.
I'm sorry we can't…" Santana said
Brittany smiled and winked at her wife, "Love, it's alright. When you're ready. I'm not going anywhere."
Santana smiled and kissed Brittany on the shoulder as they showered.
9:30pm:
After pulling on their pajamas Brittany and Santana climbed into bed and got under the covers.
Brittany pulled her wife close, kissing her on the top of her head, "I love you" she whispered
Santana smiled with her eyes closed and leaned further into her wife, "I love you too."
Sunday (April 27th) Morning 4:15am:
Brittany could hear Olivia crying and opened her eyes. She sighed and rolled out of bed before going to the nursery.
"Hey Sweetie, you're ok." Brittany muttered as she walked in
She picked Olivia up and held her close, "What's wrong, Sweetie? What is it? Got a full diaper?"
Olivia refused to calm down, so Britt set her on the diaper changing table and began to undo her onesie. She changed her daughter's diaper before picking her back up and gently bouncing her on her arm.
"Are you like your brother?" She asked and began to walk in circles.
Olivia still didn't calm down, so Brittany began to hum, holding Olivia against her chest.
Olivia slowly calmed down and stopped crying as her mother hummed.
"That's it, Sweetie."
James walked into the nursery, "Mama?"
Brittany turned to her son. "Why are you up so early?"
"I don't feel good." He muttered, scratching his stomach.
Brittany's eyes widened when she noticed the small spots on his face.
"Ok. Hold on." Brittany said as put a sleeping Olivia back in her crib. Brittany
She crouched down and looked at James before sighing, "Son, you have the chicken pox."
Together they walked to the master bedroom and Brittany woke her wife up.
"Hmmm?" Santana hummed as she opened her eyes.
"James has the chicken pox." Brittany muttered
Santana sat up straight and looked at her son. She felt his forehead and sighed, "Yeah. Let's get you back up to your room. You have to stay away from Olivia, ok?"
They got James upstairs to his room.
"Ok what do we do?" Santana asked her wife, "He could have gotten it form one of his cousins which means that by the end of the week they could all have it."
Brittany nodded, "We need to take Olivia to the garage apartment to keep her away from the others."
Bonnie walked out of the guest room and smiled, "Hey girls, why are you up so early?"
"James has the chicken pox…" Brittany mumbled
"Oh shit" Bonnie sighed
Brittany could hear William crying in his room and went to check on him.
"William?" She said
William cried, "Mama!"
She walked over and sighed when she saw the spots covering his face. He reached for her as he scratched his stomach.
Brittany picked him up, "Try not to scratch, Champ."
She carried him out to the hallway where Santana and Bonnie were whispering.
Santana looked at William and sighed, "Damn." She whispered, "I'm go in got check on Ally."
She came back a moment later, "Yep."
"It's an epidemic." Brittany mumbled
Bonnie smiled, "Ok seriously, chicken pox can be really dangerous for newborns."
Brittany nodded, "How about the kids stay up here and we keep her downstairs."
"You want to keep all three kids cooped up in their rooms for more than a week?" Santana asked
Brittany sighed, "You're right. Ok...how about…"
Bonnie's phone began to ring in the guest room. She went to answer it and moment later came back out to the hallway with Brent.
"Well…you'll never believe it but Kate has the chicken pox." Bonnie sighed
Brittany closed her eyes and sighed, "I bet the other kids have it too."
Santana looked at her wife, "Great"
Brittany nodded, "Ok look here's what I'm thinking."
Brittany plan consisted of Benny, Autumn and Kate moving into a guest room in the house.
"We'll disinfect the garage apartment then San and Olivia will move in there while the kids are sick over here." Brittany said.
"That's a good plan" Bonnie said.
Bonnie and Santana went over to the garage apartment and disinfected it so it was safe for Olivia.
Benny, Autumn and Kate got settled in the other guest room while Santana and Olivia moved over to the apartment.
7:30am:
Brittany got a call from Finn saying that Jasper had chicken pox.
"Bella had it last year, but I figured you should know in case…"
Brittany laughed, "Dude, you're about 3 hours too late. James, Will, Ally and Kate all have it."
Finn told Maribel and Michelle about the other kids.
"How would you feel about Jasper coming over for the day? Maribel wants to make all the kids some soup." Finn asked
Antonio and Maribel were staying with Finn and Michell while they were in town.
"Sure, why not" Brittany grinned
10:00am:
By mid-morning all of the kids had the chicken pox and were all at the pierce house. Maribel made them soup while Brittany, Michelle, Gabby and Diego put socks on the kids hand to keep them from scratching.
Brittany laughed as Michelle took a picture of all the kids sitting in the basement movie room in their pajamas with their hands wrapped.
"I know that they are miserable, but they are so cute." Gabby smiled.
"It's like a chicken pox party." Brittany smirked making Diego grin
"So Sophia and Bella have both had it before?" Maribel asked Gabby and Michelle.
Both women nodded.
Brittany looked over at James who was sitting next to his best friend and cousin, Jasper. They were talking animatedly as they scratched. Ally had Kate scratching her back as she scratched her other cousin, Lauren's back.
William and Diego's twin song all sat in a circle scratching each other.
"It might be time for a bunch of oatmeal baths…" Maribel said, noticing all the scratching taking place.
Brittany nodded, "Alright, how should we split them up?"
10:45am:
James and Jasper were taken one bathroom while Otto, Maddox and William were taken to another. Ally, Kate and Lauren went to the master bathroom with Brittany.
She helped them take off their clothes as the tub filled up with warm water. She added the oatmeal mix before picking up each girl and placing her in the tub.
She sat on the edge and gave them some toys to play with.

Benny walked into the bathroom, "Hey Maribel's soup is ready."

Benny nodded, "That's what their doing with the other kids. I brought some more lotion."
Together, Brittany and her bother go the girls dried off, and put lotion on the before getting them dressed in loose clothes.
Brittany, Benny and the 3 little girls all headed to the kitchen. Benny carried Kate and set her in her highchair.
The parents and grandparents served each kid a bowl of soup and a cup of sprite.
Brittany washed up and put a couple bowls of soups and glasses of water on a tray. She carried it over to garage apartment.
"Hey, I'm sanitized." Brittany said, walking into the small living room.
Santana smiled, "Hey. How are the kids? I wish I could be with them." She said feeling awful about not being with her children while they were sick.
"You're protecting Olivia. It's important. They're fine. They all just got oatmeal baths. We put fresh calamine lotion on them and got them some loose clothes to wear. Currently, they are all eating this soup. I thought I'd bring you some." Brittany replied.
Santana smiled, "You're incredible. Thank you, baby."
Brittany grinned and kissed her wife, "I'll miss you tonight."
"Me too" Santana replied, "Anna is coming over later. She's going to stay on the couch and help with Olivia during the night."
Brittany nodded, "Ok. I'm glad she'll be here."
Santana nodded as they ate their soup.

8:30pm:
"Mama, can I sleep with you?" James asked as Brittany watched all three of her kids brush their teeth.
"Me too!" Ally said
"Yeah!" Will added
Brittany sighed, smiling, "Alright. Finish brushing you teeth then we'll go downstairs."
When they got downstairs Brittany put a guard railing on the edge of the bed so James didn't roll off. She put fresh lotion on them and wrapped their hands before they all climbed into bed.
Brittany laid there unable to fall asleep. She listened as 3 of her children slept, breathing evenly.
Monday (April 28th) Morning 1:30am:
William woke up and crawled over, closer to his mother, "Mama" he whispered
Brittany hummed sleepily, "Yeah"
William frowned, "I need a new pull-up."
Brittany nodded.
William struggled with wetting the bed, so he wore pull-ups to bed.
Brittany got up and grabbed one of the pull-ups she had brought down with them and helped him get it on before throwing the old one away.
"Go back to sleep, Champ." She mumbled
6:45am:
Brittany woke up and got out of bed. She piled up some pillows up so William didn't roll off the bed before going to the kitchen. Brent was sitting at the bar, drinking coffee and reading the paper.
"Morning Bolt. How are the kids?" Brent mumbled
Brittany smiled, "Morning Pop. They're alright. We got up a couple time to out on more lotion but other than that they pretty much slept through the night."
Brent nodded, "Good. Ah here comes one now." He smirked
Brittany turned around and saw James, "Morning Jamie" she grinned and picked him up.
"Morning, Mama" James mumbled tiredly, "It itches." He said rubbing his chest.
"Ok, let's get you some more lotion." Brittany said.
"Morning James" Brent smiled
"Hi Papa" James replied quietly, obviously not feeling good.
She took a sip of her coffee before carrying him back to her bedroom. William and Allison were just waking up, scratching.
Brittany smiled, "Hey guys. Come here. Let's put more lotion on you."
Brent walked into the room, "Wanted to see if you could use any help…"
"Sure." Brittany said, tossing him the lotion, "I got James done" she said as she out lotion on Ally.

"Hey girls" Brittany grinned
"Hey Baby" Santana smiled as Brittany leaned down to kiss her on the lips. "How was the night?"
Brittany smiled and told Santana about how the kids slept with her.
"…but they miss you. When do you think it'll be safe for you and Olivia to come home?"
Santana sighed, "I'm not sure. 3 days at the minimum but I've read chicken pox can be contagious up to 2 weeks or longer."
Brittany sighed, "Ok how do we know when they aren't contagious anymore?"
"When the pox have dried up." Santana said.
Brittany nodded, "Alright, well we've got this. Just make sure to take Olivia outside some so you both can get some fresh air."
Santana nodded, "She's got a doctor's appointment at 2pm today."
Brittany sighed, "I wish I could go with you, but I should stay home with the kids."
"It's ok. We'll be fine. Mami is coming with me." Santana replied
"Did you have breakfast?" Brittany asked
"Yeah. I had some yogurt. What about you?"
Britt grinned, "Nothing yet. I'm about to got back over there. Everyone is probably up by now."
There was a knock on the apartment door and Maribel walked in with two plates of bacon, toast, and eggs on a tray.
"Hey, I brought you two some food."
"Thank you, Maribel" Britt grinned
"I'm going to get back over there and help with the kids."
Maribel said
"Should I…" Brittany began but Maribel held up a hand.
"No dear. Spend some time with you wife and newborn daughter." Maribel smiled before leaving.

San, Maribel and Olivia got back from the doctors office. Santana and Olivia sat outside on the covered patio. Olivia looked around at the birds as they flew around.
"Do you like the birds, Livvie?" Santana asked, smiling as she watched her daughter eye dart form one direction to another.
Brittany headed outside and sat next to her wife, "The other kids are asleep." Brittany said, knowing what her wife was about to ask.

"I know, son." Brittany said before kissed him on the forehead.
