Hey Guys! Please Review and Keep Reading!
Monday (May 26th) Morning 9:45am:
Brittany was talking to Alex in her office at the studio when Santana walked in with Anna and all 4 kids.
"Hey!" Brittany grinned and crouched down to hug her older kids.
"Mami says I'm doing ballet!" Allison smiled excitedly as she jumped up and down, clapping her hands.
Brittany looked up at her wife and grinned, "I see you went ahead and told her."
Santana grimaced, "I'm sorry. She heard me telling Anna."
Brittany shrugged, "It's fine." She replied before looking back at Ally, "I got your ballet shoes this morning."'
Ally squealed as Brittany walked over to the closet to get the shoes.
Britt handed her older daughter the shoebox before leaning over and kissed Olivia on the cheek and San on the lips.
Ally whined, "Mam, put them on me!"
"Allison" Santana said strictly
"Try asking me again." Brittany said
Allison swallowed, "Please put them on me?"
Brittany smiled, "There you go. Sure, I'll put them on you. Sit on the couch." She replied as she walked over to her couch and sat own.
Ally crawled up onto it and stretched her legs out.
Brittany smiled, "Once we get them on your feet, we'll go see Karen the ballet teacher."
Ally smiled, "Ok!"
Santana looked at James and William, "Mike is teaching that kids class in 2B. Anna. Why don't you take the boys down there? Britt, will Mike mind?"
Brittany shook her head, "Nah. He won't mind at all." She sat adjusting Ally's ballet shoes.
"I'll take them" Alex said. "I'm headed to 2A."
"Thanks, Alex." Brittany said before looking at her sons, "Boys, Alex is going to take you to Mike's class. When it's over come back up here with Mike. Got it?"
James nodded, "Got it" he said as William nodded.
"Alright" Brittany said before Alex left with the boys.
"Olivia is hungry, and I don't have any pumped milk with me." Santana told her wife
"Ok. Well I'm going to take Ally to meet Karen. You can stay in here to feed Liv. Just make sure you lock the door. People come in here all the time." Brittany replied as she stood up, picking Ally up.
Santana nodded as Brittany left, carrying Ally. They went down to 1C and walked into the room.
Karen was in there with a small class of ballet students around the age of 10.
"Hey Karen." Brittany said
Karen looked over and smiled, "Alright, lets' take a 5-minute break. Drink some water."
She walked over to her boss and smiled, "Hey Brittany. Who is this cutie?"
"This is…"
"I'm Ally Pierce. This is my mama."
Brittany grinned as Karen beamed.
"You are adorable!" Karen said, "What can I do you for you today?"
"We signed her up for your 10am classes on Wednesdays." Brittany replied, pointing out Ally's shoes.
"Awesome!" Karen smiled, "We'll have a great time. Right Ally?"
Ally nodded smiling.
"Alright, we'll let you get back to your class." Brittany said.
"Bye!" Ally smiled, waving at her new teacher as she and her mother left the room.
"Bye Ally!" Karen smiled before returning to her class.
12:15pm:
After spending the morning at the studio, Santana, Anna and Brittany took the children out for lunch.
8:15pm:
"Brush the back ones too, William." Brittany said as she watched her children brush their teeth.
When they finished, she followed Allison to her room. Ally crawled into her bed and held her stuffed bear closely.
"Mama, please read me a book."
Brittany grinned, "Ok Darlin, but only one. I still have to check on your brothers."
Brittany grabbed The Little House on the Prairie book and read Allison one chapter.
After reading on chapter, Brittany kissed Allison goodnight and went to William's room. She tucked him into his bed, handing him his stuffed lion.
"You alright, Champ?" Brittany asked
William nodded, "Can you read to me?"
Brittany smiled and nodded, "One chapter."
William nodded as she grabbed the Boxcar Children book from his nightstand.
By the time she got to James, she figured he'd be asleep but instead he was sitting up in his bed, coloring his Toy Story coloring sheet.
"Hey Jamie" Brittany smiled as she sat on the edge of his bed.
"Mama…" James said setting his coloring stuff on his nightstand.
Brittany noticed the odd sound in his voice, "Yeah?"
"How does the egg get in Mami?" James asked
It took Brittany a second to realize what her son was talking about.
FLASHBACK
7 Months Earlier
"Wait" James said "There's a baby in your tummy?"
Santana nodded, "Yeah. It's your little brother or sister."
William and Allison listened but didn't really catch on.
"How'd it get in there?" James asked, confused
Brittany looked at her son, "Well there's an egg in Mami and when we decided that we wanted you guys to have another brother or sister, the egg grew. It turned into a baby."
"It's still growing." Santana added.
"When will the baby come out?"
"In a few months." Santana said, "My tummy will keep growing till it's time for the baby to come out."
"What do you think about that?" Brittany asked
James looked thoughtful, "Cool."
Brittany grinned, "Do you have any other questions?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"We aren't sure yet but we'll find out soon and let you know. Alright?"
James nodded, "Can I color?"
His mother's laughed and nodded.
Later that night, Brittany was sitting in bed while Santana changed into her pajamas.
"You do realize that at some point soonJames is going to have a lot more questions." Brittany mumbled, "I'm surprised that he didn't have more today."
Santana nodded, "How should we explain it to him?"
"Obviously he's a bit too young for the rated R version of the talk so let's stick to the G rated one."
"Ok. How?"
"We'll just explain that adults, when they want to be parents fertilize and egg that's already in a woman's stomach."
"Fertilize? He's 3."
Brittany laughed, "Obviously we explain it in simpler terms and hopefully he'll at least be 5."
Santana smiled, "Ok so whoever he asks explains it n simple terms and keeps it G rated…"
"You got it." Brittany said
END OF FLASHBACK
Brittany looked at her son, "Well the egg is already in the woman's stomach."
James scrunched his face, confused, "So all girls have babies in their tummys?"
Brittany shook her head, realizing it was going to be more difficult than anticipated. There was a quiet knock on the door, and she let out a breath of relief when she saw Santana standing there.
"It's been over an hour since you came up here. Is everything ok?" Santana askes her wife.
"James wants to know how the egg got in you tummy…" Brittany said
Santana's eyes widened as she nodded, "Oh ok. What have you two discussed?"
Brittany shook her head, "Just that all women have eggs in their tummies." She turned back to her son, "But no, that doesn't mean that all women have a baby in their tummy."
"No." Santana said, "It takes two people to make a baby. A lot of the time is a mommy and a daddy, but you have two mommies."
James nodded, "Yeah I know that but…"
"James, listen." Brittany said, "Most men have what is called sperm and when they want to have a baby, they give the sperm to the mommy. The sperm and the egg make the baby and the baby grows in the mommy's tummy for 9 months till it's ready to be born."
Santana nodded, "Do you understand?"
"I think so." James sighed, shrugging.
Brittany smiled, "Let's all go to sleep and we'll talk about this some other time. When you're a little older. Alright?"
James nodded, "Ok. Night Mama. Night Mami."
"Night, Baby" Santana smiled
"Night, Monkey." Brittany whisper and patted him on the chest before standing up.
They walked out of the room and shut the door.
Once they got downstairs Brittany turned to her wife, "Did I fuck that up?"
Santana laughed, "No, Baby. You did great."
Brittany nodded, "At some point I'm going to have to explain everything to him and he's going to think I'm some kind of freak." She mumbled as they walked the bedroom.
Santana instantly turned to her wife, "Brittany!" She hissed, "You are not a freak!"
Brittany sighed, "Thank you, Baby. I'm just saying that when he starts school, he's going to make new friends. Those friends might find out and tell their parents. I just hate that my…difference could affect his life."
Santana shook her head, "So many people accept you exactly how you are and those that don't…fuck them."
Brittany grinned, "I love you."
Santana smiled, "I love you too, baby"
Wednesday (May 28th) Morning 6:30am:
"So, I'll take her o work with me. She can hang out in the daycare till her class. What time do you want to pick her up?" Brittany said as she and Santana brushed their teeth, getting ready for the day.
Santana thought for a moment, "How about I come by at noon and we all go over to that deli for lunch?"
Brittany nodded, "Alright. I'll go get her up and dressed."
Brittany headed upstairs. She heard water running and wen to the bathroom where she was surprised to find James brushing his teeth.
"Morning Monkey." Brittany said, "Why are you up so early?"
James looked at his mom, "I'm going to work with you."
Brittany sighed and crouched down, "James, if you came to work with me, you'd have to hang out in the daycare with your sister and all the little kids."
James sighed, "Why can't I just hang out in your office with you?"
"Cause, son I have to work and teach classes. I won't be able to keep an eye on you."
"I'll be good I promise!"
Brittany thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright, if your mother is ok with it, then you can come up there for the morning. Go get dressed while I talk to her."
Brittany headed back downstairs, "San" She said, walking into the bedroom.
Santana was putting her mascara on, "Yeah?" she said, keeping extremely still.
"James wants to come to work with me too. He was already up and brushing his teeth."
Santana smiled, "Are you going to put them both in the daycare? There's mostly younger kids in there…"
Britany nodded, "I'll figure it out. Are you alright with me taking him too?"
"Yeah. I'm nearly finished here so I'll make some breakfast for you guys before you leave." Santana said as she finished her makeup and headed to the kitchen.
Brittany nodded and ran back upstairs to get Ally ready. She walked into Allison's bedroom and crouched down.
"Ally. Darlin, wake up." Brittany said, gently patting her daughter on the back.
Ally sleepily opened her eyes and blinked a couple time. Brittany smiled at the resemblance to Santana.
"Ally, you have to get up and get dressed. Don't you want to go to your ballet class?" Brittany smirked
Ally suddenly smiled, "Yeah" she said in a raspy voice.
Brittany smiled, "Alright. You need to go brush your teeth while I get your clothes out."
Ally sat up and ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
Brittany set out a pink t-shirt and some jeans along with Ally's converse shoes.
Ally walked back into her room a couple minutes later.
Brittany helped her daughter get dressed before pulling her dark hair up into a bun.
James walked into the room, dressed and ready to go.
"James, carefully, go down the stairs. I want you to get your tablet. Grab Ally's tablet too and put them in your backpack for me."
James nodded, "Ok." He said before heading downstairs to the playroom where they kept the tablet's plugged up.
Brittany finished getting Allison ready before grabbing her new ballet bag and heading downstairs.
They met James and Santana in the kitchen for breakfast. Santana had made Bonnie's famous breakfast burritos.
They all ate their breakfast before heading out to the garage.
James got into his booster sweat while Brittany buckled Allison into her car seat. Brittany smiled at Santana and kissed her on the lips before hopping into the driver's seat.
Santana headed back into the house and found William in her room, crying.
"Will, honey what's wrong?" Santana asked, crouching down.
William ran into her arms, "Where were you?" He sobbed
Santana felt awful, "Honey, I'm right here. Do you want to lay in bed with me?"
William began to calm down and nodded, "Yeah" he mumbled.
Santana picked him up and carried hi, to her bed. They curled up in the bed and fell asleep.
With Britt:
"Alright" Brittany said as she parked the truck in the studio's back parking lot.
James unbuckled and helped his sister before grabbed his bag. Brittany grabbed her own bag and Ally's ballet bag before carrying her daughter inside as James followed.
She headed down tot eh daycare to drop Ally off but was stopped by Penny.
"Hey" Brittany said, "What's wrong?"
"Mike closed the daycare for the day. One of the children…well the walls and floors deep to be cleaned and sanitized." Penny said.
Brittany sighed and nodded, "Ok. Call all of the people that are scheduled to bring their kids with them. Let them know the daycare is closed and make a sign. Put it on the front door."
Penny nodded and got to work
Brittany sighed, "Alright, James let's go up to my office. I need you to help me take care of your sister this morning."
James nodded, "Ok Mama"
They took the elevator up to the third floor and wen to Britt's office. She set Ally down and shut her office door so the kids couldn't leave the room.
"Alright. Ally's class isn't till 10 so we have a couple hours. Guys, I have to work some, so I need you two to play on your tablets, alright?"
James nodded, "Ok"
Ally nodded as her older brother got their tablets out and turned hers on for her.
Brittany began to check her emails till Alex and Jessica knocked, walking in with their daughter, Lana.
"Hey so could Anna watch Lana since the dayca…" Alex began before seeing the kids sitting on Brittany 's couch.
Brittany smiled, "Santana is picking them up at noon." She told them
Alex sighed, "We both have classes all day."
"Sloane's not working today." Jessica told her wife, thoughtfully.
"Can I use your phone?" Alex asked Brittany
Brittany nodded, "Sure"
Alex called her sister, who agreed to be there in 20 minutes.
"I'll watch Lana till Sloane gets here." Brittany said
Jessica smiled, "Thank you so much."
Brittany nodded as Jessica handed the 2-year-old to her, "There are diapers in here, but she's mostly potty trained."
Brittany grinned, "I have 4 kids, I can handle it."
Alex nodded," Thanks. Our partners class start in 10 minutes, so we need to run. Thanks Boss."
Brittany nodded again as they left.
Brittany set the quiet toddler on her leg and gently bounced her making Lana smile.
9:30am:
Santana was sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery, holding Oliva while William sat on the arm of the chair.
William smiled, "Mami, let's watch a movie."
Santana smiled, "Ok. Get off the chair so I can get up."
They all went to the master bedroom and curled up together in the bed to watch Cars the movie.
With Britt:
Brittany walked with both kids into 1C for Allison's first ballet class.
Karen smiled and walked over to them, "Hey Ally and you…" she said turning to James, "you must be James because you're a little told old to be William."
James nodded, smiling, "I'm James Pierce"
Karen smiled and looked at her boss, "Your children are adorable."
Brittany nodded, "I know" she grinned
Karen laughed, "Of course you do. Ally, are you ready for class?"
Ally nodded excitedly in her tights and leotard. She proudly showed Karen her shoes, "I even have my ballet shoes!"
"You do! Let' go get started." Karen said
"I've got a class in 15 minutes so I can't stay. When class is finished, could you bring her up to 2D?"
Karen nodded, "No problem"
James followed Brittany to 2D for her Hip-Hop class.
"James, I need you to sit over there on that bench and play on your tablet while I teach class." Brittany said
"Ok, Mama" James replied
Brittany looked at him, "Would you like to dance wit us?"
James thought for a moment, "I don't know" he shrugged.
Brittany nodded, "Well if you decide to, walked around the edge of the class and over to me, ok?"
"Ok" He said before going to sit down on the bench in the back of the room.
"Alright folks!" Brittany clapped, getting everyone's attention, "This is a beginner' hip hop class. I'll be your teacher and if you don't know who I am…my name is Brittany Pierce and I'm the of Bolt's Beats Dance Studio."
The students all cheered making her grin, "Alright, so today…"
11:40am:
Karen and Ally walked into 2D and over to the bench where James was sitting.
Karen didn't have another class till that afternoon, so she stayed to keep an eye on the kids while Brittany taught class.
12:15pm:
Britany, James and Allison got up to Brittany's office and found Santana sitting on the couch with Oliva while William was sitting Brittany's desk chair.
"Mami!" Ally beamed, "I took my ballet class."
"How did it go?" Santana smiled
"It was great!" Ally beamed
Brittany grinned, "Karen said she did great and she can't wait till next week."
Santana smiled, "Honey, that's great!"
Brittany gently picked Olivia up from her Mami's arms and held her close, "Hey Sweetie" Britt muttered
Santana helped Ally change into her other clothes in Britt's private bathroom.
Once Ally was changed, the family of 6 headed out to lunch.
Thursday (May 29th) Afternoon 3:30pm:
Brittany got home from work and headed into the house. She walked into the kitchen from the garage and found her wife cooking dinner with Bonnie and Autumn.
They were making lasagna from scratch, so they wanted to get started on it early.
"Hey!" Brittany grinned
"Brittany!" Bonnie smiled as she walked over to hug her eldest daughter.
Britt grinned, "Hey Ma" She said as they separated, "I'm going to change. I'll be right back" Brittany added as she walked by her wife, kissing her on the cheek, "Hey Beautiful"
San smiled, "Hey Baby"
Brittany went to their bedroom and changed into blue basketball short and a white t-shirt.
He tied her basketball shoes and headed to the living room to find her brothers and father. Anna was watching James, Ally, William and Kate in the playroom while Olivia slept in the nursery.
She found Brent and her brothers in the living room, playing a racing video game.
"Hey Pop" Brittany grinned
"Hey Bolt!" Brent smiled, "You're home early."
"Yeah. You guys want to shoot some hoops?" She replied
Benny nodded and paused the game, "Let me change out of these jeans."
"Why aren't you at work?" Brittany asked him as he stood up from the recliner.
"Oh, there's some type of reserved party thing going on at the shop, so they told me to go home and come back tomorrow. I took off Saturday for the party."
Brittany nodded as they all headed out to the kitchen to grab some water.
Brittany pulled Santana close and kissed her on the lips, "Hey Beautiful" Brittany smiled
San blushed slightly, "Hey. How was work?"
"It was busy as hell." Brittany mumbled, "Every single class was full all day long."
"Wow. That's great!" Santana smiled, "Where are you and the guys going?"
"We're going to shoot some hoops. Do you need anything before we head out there?" Britt asked her wife,
Santana shook her head, "No I'm alright. Go have fun ."
Brittany winked at the Latina and kissed her on the lips before going to the basketball court with her father and brother.
After Brittan left Autumn looked at Santana, "How long have you two been together again?"
Santana smiled and thought back, "We've been together for nearly 13 years and married for 7."
"You guys are so young, yet you've been together forever." Autumn remarked, "How old are you?"
"I'll be 28 in October. Britt will be 28 in August" Santana replied
"So Britt and Benny are 9 years apart?" Autumn ask Bonnie
Bonnie nodded, "Yep. My kids are spread out, age wise."
Autumn nodded, "Yeah. How far apart are Britt and Blake?"
"16 years" Bonnie replied, "I still can't believe Blake is turning 12 in lass than a week." She sighed, "My baby is nearly a teenager…"
"It is hard to believe." Santana said
"They grow up fast…that's for sure." Bonnie said making the other girls nod, silently.
Saturday (May 31st) Morning 11:15am:
"I can't believe she's 3 years old." Bridgett told Benny as they stood in the backyard, watching all the children play.
Brittany walked over to her brother and sister, "What's up?"
"Just talking about how fast the kids grow." Benny said
Brittany nodded, "I know what you mean." She sighed, watching as her kids played with their cousins and friends, "James starts kindergarten in a couple months." She said shaking her head is disbelief, "I'm telling you guys; he's supposed to be learning to walk right now, not starting school."
Bridgett sighed, "I can't believe that."
9:45pm:
Brittany was brushing her teeth when Santana walked into the bathroom. She pulled her dark hair up into a messy bun.
"I was thinking…" Brittany muttered after she rinsed her mouth out.
"About?" Santana asked as she began to wash her face.
Brittany cleared her throat, "We should take a short vacation with the kids. Maybe to the beach or something before James starts kindergarten."
Santana looked over at the blonde, "That sounds good. When should we go?"
Brittany shrugged, "Let's look at our schedules in a sec."
Santana nodded and went back to washing her face.
Brittany kissed Santana on the shoulder as she passed by. She changed into her pajamas before grabbing her laptop and crawling into bed. She opened her laptop and pulled up her schedule.
Santana finished getting ready for bed before grabbing her laptop and joining her wife.
"So, I'm clear on the weekend of July 12th" Brittany said, "What about you?"
"Yeah that should work. Where should we go and for how long?"
"How about we both look up some cool places nearby that we can go to for that weekend? A family resort type place." Britt replied
Santana nodded, "I'll look up some places tomorrow."
Brittany grinned, "I think we'll have a lot of fun with the kids."
"I agree. Should we take Anna with us to help?" Santana asked
"Nah." Brittany grinned, "Let' make it just us and the kids, ok?"
Santana smiled, "Ok. That works."
They both put their laptops away before curling up into each other's arms.
Brittany laughed lightly.
"What?" Santana smiled
Brittany shook her head and pulled her wife closer, "I was just thinking about how much our lives have changed since high school."
Santana nodded, "It's incredible, don't you think?" she smiled
Brittany grinned and kissed the Latina on the cheek, "It's a dream come true." She replied quietly.
Santana nodded as they both fell asleep.
