Hey Guys! I know that this is a SUPER SHORT chapter but it's more of a FILLER CHAPTER. Please Review and Keep Reading!
Saturday (July 6th) Morning 10:45am:
Brittany and Finn were standing on the back patio, watching as Jasper and James shot their toy water guns at each other. The boys were running around the backyard in their swim trunks.
The entire crew was there with their kids, celebrating Bella's birthday.
"Can you believe that Jasper is going to be 5 in less than a month?" Finn asked the blonde.
Brittany shook her head, "Plus he and James start school next month. It blows my mind." She replied
Finn laughed, "Look at Bella and Sophia." He said, pointing at the young girls who were swimming in the pool with a bunch of Bella's friends. The girls were squealing as they splashed each other.
Brittany laughed, "I think the most shocking though is that Bella turned 8 yesterday. Like…how is that even possible?" Brittany asked Finn.
Finn shook his head, "It's terrifying." He muttered, "She's my little girl."
Brittany nodded, "I remember the day she was born. She was the first of the second generation. I've got to say, Finn, you've done a great job raising her and Jasper."
Finn smiled and cleared his throat, "Thanks, Britt."
"Mama!" Brittany heard and turned around just in time to see Allison accidentally fall into the pool.
Brittany ran over but Diego was already in the pool with the kids, so he grabbed her. She wasn't under the water for more than 4 seconds before her uncle lifted her out.
Brittany crouched down as Diego handed a screaming Allison. Brittany grabbed her daughter and thanked her brother in law before walking into the house.
"It's ok, Darlin. I've got you." She said, trying to calm her daughter down.
She walked to the master bedroom and grabbed a towel to warm Ally up a bit before sitting on the bed, holding the little girl.
Santana came running into the room, eyes wide. She looked at her daughter then at her wife who nodded.
"Hey… Mami's here." Brittany said calmly,
Santana walked over and sat on the bed next to her wife. Allison turned her head and looked at Santana.
"Mami!" She cried and reached for the Latina.
Santana immediately grabbed her daughter and pulled her close, "It's ok, baby girl. I'm here."
Brittany gently rubbed Ally's back as the toddler calmed down. Ally quickly fell asleep in her mother's arms
"What happened?" Santana whispered
Brittany shook her head, "I heard her yell for me, and I turned around just as she fell in without her life jacket. Diego was right there so he grabbed her out of the water." Brittany explained quietly
Santana took a deep breath, "Thank God he was there."
Brittany nodded, "I know."
"What happened to all those swim lessons we gave her?" Santana asked, confused.
Brittany shrugged, "I think she was just panicked and wasn't thinking."
San nodded, "I'm going to lay in here with her till she wakes up."
Brittany nodded, "Ok. I nee dot go keep an eye on the other kids I'll check on Olivia too."
"Anna's got Olivia. Just keep an eye on the boys."
Brittany nodded, kissed her wife's lips and the top of Ally's head before leaving the room. She took a deep breath and leaned against the hall wall.
She leaned her hands onto her knees, trying to get the image of what just happened out of her head. Seeing Allison fall into the pool like that was completely terrifying.
Normally there was a fence around the pool, keeping the children away from it but since they were having a pool party for Bella's birthday, Brittany had put the fence away.
Rachel and Quinn walked over to Brittany and stood near her.
"Are you ok? Is Allison alright?" Rachel asked the blonde.
Brittany nodded, "Yeah. I'm good and Ally is ok. She's just shook up."
"Where is she?" Quinn asked.
"She's asleep with San."
"Asleep? How can she be asleep after that?"
"She's always falls asleep after she cries hard." Brittany replied
"I didn't know that." Rachel said smiling slightly, "That's sweet"
Brittany nodded before walking past her friends and out to the backyard. She found Diego talking to his 8-month pregnant wife by the pool.
"Hey D." Brittany said
Diego turned around, "Hey! Is she ok?" He asked, concerned
Brittany nodded, "She's fine. thank you, man."
Diego nodded, "Of course." He smiled
Brittany smiled and heard the doorbell ring. She furrowed her brow, confused since everyone was already there.
She walked through the house and answered the door, shocked to see Maribel and Antonio.
"Hey!" Brittany said, "Come on in! I didn't know you guys were coming."
Maribel smiled, "We wanted to surprise Bella for her birthday, but we had leave later than planned."
Brittany smiled, "Well they are all in the backyard. Oh, you guys should know that she's fine, but Ally fell into the pool. Diego got her out, but she was really shaken up"
"Did she hit her head or anything?" Antonio asked, concerned
Brittany shook her head, "No but you can examine her if you want."
Maribel nodded, "Why don't you do that, sweetie?" she asked her husband, "Just so we can be sure."
"She's in our bedroom with Santana."
The 3 of them went to the master bedroom.
Santana looked up when she saw movement and was beyond shocked to see her parents.
"Hey mi hija, let me have a look at her." Antonio said sitting on the edge of the bed as he pulled Allison onto his lap
"Ok but I'm so confused right now."
"They came to surprise Bella for her birthday and I told them about Ally since I figured someone else would. Your father wants to check Ally out." Brittany explained.
Santana nodded as Antonio gently woke Ally up, "Hi pretty girl." He smiled
Ally furrowed her brow before smiling, "Lito"
Antonio smiled, "She seems fine" He said, "Her eyes are clear and equal and she's obviously alert."
The women all nodded
Santana looked at her daughter, "You ready to swim? This time you'll wear your life jacket and I'll be in there with you."
Ally nodded, "Ok, Mami. Mama?" She said, turning her head to look at Brittany
"Yeah Darlin?" Brittany asked
"Are you coming?" Ally asked her mother.
Brittany nodded, "Yep." She smiled, "I'm already dressed for the pool." She said pointing at her blue swim trunks and her black muscle shirt.
Ally reached for the blonde. Brittany picked her up and carried her to the backyard.
Everyone was shocked to see Maribel and Antonio.
12:30pm:
"How long are you guys staying?" Diego asked his mother as they all ate lunch.
"We're only staying one night. I've got a case that goes to trial on Monday." Maribel replied as she put some pizza on her plate.
Diego nodded, "Will ya'll be back when Whitney gives birth?"
"Of course." Maribel smiled, "I'm thrilled that you two are having a little girl."
Diego grinned, "Me too. I'm nervous about it but having so many nieces helps."
Maribel nodded, "I'm sure it has."
10:30pm:
Brittany walked into the master bathroom where Santana was getting ready for bed.
"It was cool of your folks to come for Bella's birthday." Brittany told her wife.
"It was." Santana replied, "They try really hard to be there for the grandkids."
Brittany nodded, "They're doing a great job. All of the kids love them so much."
San nodded as they brushed their teeth in silence.
"Today was terrifying." Santana sighed as she dried her face.
Britt nodded, "You remember a couple years ago, when James fell in?"
"Of course." Santana replied, "How could I ever forget? He was running around the patio with Rocky and slipped in."
Neither of them wanted to mention the argument they had had that night.
Brittany sighed, "I still feel awful about that." She said referring to the fence she had accidentally left open.
Santana nodded, "Well we got lucky. Everyone makes mistakes, Baby."
"Yeah but my mistake could have killed our son…" Brittany said, thinking back to that day.
"But it didn't." Santana stated, "Come here." He whispered, pulling her wife into a hug.
Brittany sighed, "Thanks"
Santana nodded
They finished getting ready before heading to bed
Wednesday (July 10th) Morning 10:20am:
Brittany was watching Allison and Lilly's ballet class with Mike.
"They're getting pretty good." Mike admired.
Brittany nodded, "This is week…what…7?"
Mike nodded, "7 weeks of non-stop ballet talk." He smirked
Britany laughed and nodded
They continued to watch the girls till Mike mentioned Brittany's upcoming vacation.
"So when are you guys leaving?" Mike asked his boss
Brittany scratched her chin, "Friday, early morning."
Where are ya'll going?" Mike replied
"Sans parents beach house in the Hamptons." Brittany said, "Anna is going with us but we won't be far so if there's an emergency. Just call me."
"We'll handle everything here. Enjoy your trip. You deserve a break." Mike grinned.
"Thanks." Brittany smiled
