Hey Guys! Please Review and Keep Reading!
Friday (December 20th) Morning 1:30am:
Brittany woke up suddenly when Olivia began to scream. She jumped up and ran to the nursery, Santana right behind her.
Brittany ran in and turned on the light. Santana walked past her and picked the baby up.
"What's wrong, honey?" She asked as she held her daughter close.
Brittany lifted her chin, "Is it her diaper? I mean, that was a loud scream."
Santana shook her head, "No, she feels warm." She replied as the infant began to cough.
"Shit" Brittany sighed
"Go get the baby Tylenol, Britt." Santana sighed as she began to change Olivia diaper, "I'm going to nurse her after I change her diaper."
Brittany nodded and went to the kitchen.
"Is everything ok?" Bonnie asked.
"Shit Ma, you scared me." Brittany mumbled.
"Sorry. I heard Olivia crying." Bonnie smirked.
Brittany nodded, yawning, "Yeah she's got a fever." She said as she unlocked the medicine cabinet and got out the baby Tylenol.
"You should make her a bottle." Bonnie said
Brittany nodded "San's going to nurse her."
Bonnie nodded, "Do you need me to stay up with her so you girls can sleep? I know today is going to be a long day for you."
Brittany groaned, remembering that the Christmas Show at the studio was that night, "Um. I'm not sure. Let me talk to San."
Together, Bonnie and Brittany went to the nursery where Santana was nursing Olivia.
"Britt, I don't think…oh hey Bonnie." Santana said when they walked in.
"What were you saying?" Brittany asked, sitting on the window seat.
Santana sighed, "I don't think I should go to the show. I need to stay with her." She said, feeling guilty
Brittany nodded, "Ok."
Santana frowned, "I'm sorry, babe."
Brittany shrugged, "I understand but I have to be there."
Santana nodded, "I know. Give me the medicine and go back to sleep."
Brittany rubbed her face and stood up. She walked over to her wife and kissed her on the lips, lovingly squeezing Olivia's foot, "Night."
"Night baby" Santana replied as Bonnie sat in the other rocking chair and Brittany left the room.
Santana looked over at Bonnie, "I feel really bad about missing the show."
"I can watch Olivia tonight. It's just for a few hours…"
Santana thought about it, looking down at her daughter.
8:45am:
Brittany arrived at the studio and head up to her office. She sighed as she set her bags on the couch and hung up her shirt and pants for that night before sitting on the couch.
Mike knocked on her office door and walked in, "Morning Boss."
"Morning" Brittany replied, standing up, "How the set up going?"
"It'll be done by noon." Mike said, "Tonight is going to be great."
Brittany grinned and nodded.
4:45pm:
Brittany finished getting dressed in her black slacks and blues dress shirt before heading down to the lobby.
She sighed, wishing Santana was there but smiled and shook hands with the guests as they arrived.
"Hi Brittany." She heard and turned to see someone she didn't recognize.
"Hi" Brittany smiled, "I'm sorry but I don't seem to…"
"I'm Sandra White. I the editor of Big Apple Magazine." The brunette replied, "This is one of our photographers, Eddie Haynes."
Brittany nodded, realizing she was Bree's old boss, "Hi Ms. White, Mr. Hayes"
"Sandra, please." Sandra replied with a small smirk
"Sandra. I didn't realize you'd be the one covering the Christmas Show…" Brittany said surprised.
Sandra smiled, "I'm not but I did want tot see the show. Actually, I tried to bring in Bree Watson to cover the show. She refused so I brought in my next best writer, Kathy Pines." She replied, glancing over at a young red headed woman who was talking to Mike.
Brittany nodded, "Oh alright." Inside she felt relieved that Bree was keeping her word.
Mike walked over with Kathy, "Brittany, this is Kathy Pines." Mike said
Brittany nodded, "Hi Ms. Pines."
"Hi, please call me Kathy." Kathy smiled kindly.
Brittany nodded, "Mike will show you ladies to your seats and Mr. Hayes can set up in the back of the room. I need to check on…"
"Uh…Boss." Mike grinned, nodding behind Brittany.
Brittany turned around and beamed when she saw Santana walking into the lobby, wearing a black dress with a blue shawl.
"Who's that?" Eddie Hayes smirked.
"My Wife." Brittany grinned, not taking her eyes off the Latina.
Santana smiled and walked over to the blonde, "Hey"
"Hey!" Brittany beamed, "What…How? What about Olivia?"
"Bonnie said she'd watch her, and I wanted to be here." Santana smiled.
Brittany couldn't stop smiling and nodded, "I'm glad you are." She whispered and leaned over, kissed Santana on the cheek as the lights flickered, "We should all take our seats."
10:45pm:
Brittany yawned as she and Santana walked into the master bedroom.
"Babe, that show was so good!" Santana smiled tiredly as she slipped off her dress.
Brittany nodded, "Everyone did such a great job." She said as she changed into her pajamas.
Once they brushed their teethe, they curled up together in the bed.
"Who was the red head?" Santana asked.
Brittany sighed, "She took Bree's old job. Sandra, the BAM editor tried to get Bree to come back, but she refused."
"Good." Santana replied.
Brittany nodded and kissed Santana on the jaw, "I love you, Baby" she said before placing her hand on San's stomach, "And I love you too, peanut."
Santana smiled, "Night Baby."
"Night Beautiful" Brittany yawned, closing her eyes.
Monday (December 24th)
Brittany woke up and rolled out of the bed. She smirked when she saw James and the twins stretched out on the bed.
She showered and got dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie before quietly leaving the room. She checked on Olivia, finding her still asleep.
Brent was pouring himself a cup of coffee as she walked into the kitchen.
"Morning Pop"
"Morning Bolt. Why aren't you sleeping in?"
"I've got to wrap some more gifts for the kids." Brittany replied as she watched him pour her a mug of coffee, "Thanks." She muttered, picking up the mug.
"Want some help? I'm pretty good at wrapping gifts." Brent smirked.
Brittany smiled and nodded, "Sure. Everything is in San's office. We were wrapping some stuff the other day and left the paper and other supplies there."
"Let's go." Brent grinned
Together, they went to Santana's home office and got to work on wrapping more Christmas presents.
7:15am:
William smiled, "Mami…Mami, wake up!"
Santana smile and opened her eyes, "Hey you"
William sniffed, smiling.
"Are you getting sick?" Santana sighed
William shook his head, "No. I'm hungry."
"Me too!" Ally added
"Yeah. Mami, it's time for breakfast." James said,
Santana nodded, "I know. Let's all get up and go find Mama. Then we'll eat breakfast."
The kids all ra to the kitchen where they found Bonnie making pancakes while Brittany and Brent talked at the table."
"Mama!" The toddlers said together, smiling.
Brittany grinned at her father, "Did you hear something?" she asked
The kids laughed and ran over to her. Brittany picked Allison up and set her on her lap.
"Where's Mami?" Brittany asked the toddlers
"Getting Olivia." James replied as William hoped onto Brent's lap.
Brittany nodded and kissed Ally on the cheek, "Gram is making pancakes."
"Yay!" Allison smiled, "Chocolate chip?"
"Blueberry." Bonnie replied
Ally frowned, "I want chocolate chip."
"Not today, Ally. She's making blueberry. You like blueberries." Brittany replied as Santana walked in, holding Olivia.
She walked over and kissed Brittany on the lips, "Morning"
"Good Morning Beautiful." Brittany smiled, "Morning Livvie!" She added, kissing Olivia on the forehead, making the infant giggle.
Benny and Autumn walked in through the back door with Kate.
"Kate!" Ally smiled and slid off Brittany's lap, running over to her younger cousin.
"Here, take Liv so I can make some eggs." Santana told her wife.
Brittany nodded, taking the 8-month-old into her arms.
"When's Santa getting here?" Kate asked, excitedly.
"He'll come while all of you guys are asleep tonight." Benny replied, "Are you excited?" He asked, tickling his daughter.
Kate giggled, nodding, "Yeah!"
10:30am:
While Bonnie and the girls worked with most of the kids, making cookies in the kitchen, Brittany and the guys hung out in the living room.
Brittany was sitting in the recliner, holding Olivia, "Say it, Baby. Say Mama…" Brittany muttered
Olivia smiled, "Mmmaaa"
Brittany nodded, "Mmmaama" she said, grinning.
Santana walked into the living room with a plate of cookies as Olivia said, "Mmmaammma"
"Yeah!" Brittany beamed
Santana smiled widely, "That's it!"
Brittany laughed and kissed Olivia on the head, "Smart girl."
Santana smiled and set the plate on the coffee table.
The kids all ran in and sat around the coffee table. Each grabbed a cookie.
Santana bent over and kissed Olivia on the head, smiling.
Brittany grinned, "Can you grab me a cookie, James?" she asked
James nodded and grabbed a cookie, before walking over and handing it to her.
"Thanks." Brittany grinned.
He smiled and nodded as he took another bite of his own cookie.
"When do we set out the cookies and milk, Mami?" Allison asked Santana.
"Tonight, right before you got to bed." Santana replied.
"I think Santa might like a beer instead of milk. I mean, the guy's got to be tired of the constant dairy." Brent muttered, smirking.
Britany smirked and nodded, "That's an idea."
Santana shook her head, "We'll stick with the milk."
"No fun" Brent smirked.
1:45pm:
"The kids are insanely bored." Santana sighed as they cleaned up the kitchen after lunch.
Brittany nodded, "I have an idea. Come up to my office with me."
2:15pm:
"What do we need?" Brittany asked Santana.
"Dry oats." Santana said as Autumn brought the kids into the kitchen.
"What are we doing?" James asked excitedly.
"Well we need to make some reindeer food." Brittany said, "I mean, no one ever thinks about the reindeer so I'm sure they'll be hungry."
All the kids nodded.
"What do they eat?" Ally asked, intrigued.
Brittany grinned, "I didn't know so I had to call Santa."
"You talked to Santa?!" William asked, amazed, "What'd he say?"
Brittany grinned, "He got Mrs. Claus to send me the recipe and the special ingredient." She replied, holding up a piece of paper and a small jar of what appeared to be red sprinkles.
"What's it say?" Allison asked.
"Yeah!" Kate said, eyes wide.
Brittany grinned and took the paper over to the table. All the kids gathered around and looked at the paper. Autumn smirked when she saw the very official looking letter with a North Pole header on it.

Autumn walked over to Santana, "Smart move." She whispered
Santana smiled, "It was all her." She said, nodding towards to her wife.
"Can we make it now?" Ally asked her mother, bouncing on her toes.
Brittany nodded, "Yep. Let's get started!"
The kids excitedly helped the blonde mix the ingredients together. When they finished they all ran to put on coats and boots so that they could spread the food out in the yard.
7:00pm:
All of the children were in the living room with Brent and Bonnie as Brent read to them.
"…out of sight, Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" Brent read to the kids.
James smiled and yawned, "Can we set out the cookies and milk now?"
Brent nodded, "Go to the kitchen."
7:30pm:
Once they finished setting out the milk and cookies, the adults tucked the kids into bed.
Santana took Olivia to the nursery and nursed her before changing her diaper and putting her in the crib.
Once the kids were all asleep Brittany and the others set out the gifts before going to bed themselves.
Tuesday (December 25th/Christmas Day) Morning 5:45am:
When Olivia began to cry Brittany and Santana woke up.
"I'll get her." Brittany mumbled as she got out of bed.
Santana groaned, "She's hungry and I haven't pumped. What time is it?" she asked as she rolled out of bed.
"Almost 6." Brittany mumbled, looking at the clock on her nightstand.
Santana sighed, "They'll all be up any minute." She said, slipping on her robe.
Brittany nodded and got up. She headed to the kitchen while Santana went to the nursery.
Brittany brewed some coffee as Brent walked into the kitchen, "They're up." He muttered.
Brittany could hear small, fast feet coming down the stairs which made her smile.
"Look Will, Santa drank all the milk!" Ally said as Brittany walked into the living room with her mug.
"Look at all the presents!" James beamed.
"Merry Christmas, Guys." Brittany smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Mama!" James smiled as everyone else walked downstairs and into the living room.
Santana walked in, holding Olivia.
"Can we open them now?" James said, bouncing on his toes.
Benny and Autumn walked in with Kate. They were still in the pajamas, but they had on boots and coats.
Brittany nodded, "Yeah" she said, grinning as the kids dove into opening their gifts.
7:30am:
Bonnie, Ann and Autumn went to the kitchen with Santana to make breakfast while Brittany got the kids to help her clean up the wrapping paper and trash.
Bonnie made a French toast casserole while Santana made bacon and eggs.
"I think the kids enjoyed opening their gifts." Bonnie smirked as they listened to the kids play in the playroom.
The doorbell rang and Brittany let the rest of the family in the house. Bridgett went to the kitchen with Michelle while Dani took Theo to the living room.
Finn helped Jasper carry his new remote-control truck to the playroom while Diego helped his sons with their own toys.
10:45am:
After breakfast the Pierce kids got dressed and headed out to play in the snow with their cousins.
Santana looked over at the Theo, Vanessa and Olivia as they played in the living room.
"You ok?" Bonnie asked her daughter in law.
Santana smiled and nodded, "Christmas seemed to get better every year."
Bonnie nodded, "Is Brittany out with the kids?"
"Yeah." Santana replied, "With Dani and the guys."
"When do you find out the gender?" Bonnie asked.
"Thursday" Santana smiled, "We'll have a gender reveal soon. I hate tat you guys are leaving on Thursday but I'm glad that soon, you'll be here permantly."
Bonnie nodded, "Me too."
Santana sighed happily as Olivia played with her cousins.
"What do you think it is?" Bonnie asked, smirking.
Santana laughed, "I think it's…"
"Ma, get Dani! Theo's walking!" Bridgett beamed as she took a video on her phone of her son's first steps.
Bonnie ran out and got Dani, who ran back in smiling.
2:45pm:
Brittany and her brothers worked with Finn and Diego in the den, building a Lego Hogwarts Castle.
"This is going to be awesome!" Benny grinned as they worked, listening to music.
James walked into the room with Jasper, "Can we help?" he asked
Brittany nodded, "Sure. Where's everyone else?"
"They're in the kitchen doing a puzzle." Brent replied, walking into the room,
9:50pm:
Brittany was brushing her teeth when Santana walked in from putting Olivia to bed.
"How far along is the castle?" Santana asked
"About halfway" Brittany replied, "It helps to have like 7 people building it together." She smirked.
Santana laughed, "I'm sure."
"It was a great Christmas." Brittany said after she rinsed her mouth and turned to her wife smiling.
Santana nodded, "It was." She smiled.
They both changed and climbed into bed, falling asleep in each other's arms.
