'' Alright time for the next set of gifts.'' Alma says standing up, she walks over to the tree crouching down and pulls out eight envelopes she gives them each couple and smiles as they open it. '' I didn't know what to buy all of you so I hope this gift card is okay.''
Santana nods her head and stands up hugging her grandmother. '' It's more than okay Abuela, we will probably use it for the jelly beans.''
Alma chuckles and nods her head. '' That is more than okay Santanita.''
Mario walks over to the tree and pulls out another set of envelopes, he hands them each couple and turns to them after giving his mother one too. '' We first wanted to buy each an individual gift but it gets harder every time more and more people which we love join, so we decided to do the same as my mother and just buy a gift card so you all can just decide yourself what to buy.''
Maribel nods her head in agreement and walks to the tree, she grabs another envelope and holds it out for her daughter and Brittany. '' The little ones will join us next year but we are celebrating today with them too, this is from all of us.'' She says mentioning to the whole group.
Susan nods her head and smiles as they take out the credit card. '' We all put in some money this week, use it for your nurseries or things you need.''
Brittany smiles and takes the credit card from her wife, she puts it in her wallet and walks over giving everyone a hug and sighs softly. '' Thank you.''
After the rest of the group gave each other their gifts, Brittany walks over to the tree after her wife already received the necklace, phone case and weekend away gift card she bought her and crouches down. She smiles as Mateo helps her carrying the box over and places it in front of Santana, she looks up at her and smiles. '' This is your real Christmas gift baby, the others where just small things I knew you needed or wanted.''
She steps back as she crouches down unwrapping the box and turns to Puck chuckling as she sees him and Mateo already covering Liv's and Diego's ears.
'' No fucking way!'' Santana squeals out in shock, Brittany turns back to her and chuckles tilting her head.
'' Was that the kitchen aid, you wanted baby?'' She snickers as she looks up at her in shock and raises her pierced eyebrow, Santana mutely nods her head and looks down at the box and back up at her wife.
Brittany chuckles watching her trying to decide what to do first and stumbles back as she suddenly jumps up and tackles her in a hug squealing, Brittany sighs softly in relief as Brad and Mario immediately prevent them from falling over and wraps her arms around San's shoulders kissing her head.
'' God you are the best wife ever!'' Santana mutters sniffling as she buries her face in her neck, Brittany smiles and kisses her head again.
'' I am far from perfect baby but just like I said in high school, you deserve the best and I will give everything to make sure you will receive it.''
Santana sniffles and tightens her hold around her waist sighing softly, she kisses her shoulder softly and keeps her face pressed in her neck mumbling. '' You already gave me the best gift by carrying our two little wonders Britt-Britt and now you come with this, god I don't know what I did to deserve you.''
Brittany slowly pulls back cupping her cheek and wipes away her tears smiling lovingly. '' You are as you have always been San, kind, gentle, loving, generous and in all an amazing girlfriend, fiance, wife and the best friend I ever had. I am just returning the love I feel for you.''
Santana pulls her closer by her waist and kisses her softly. '' God I don't even know how I can show you the love I have for you, Brittany Susan Lopez.''
Brittany smiles and leans their foreheads together. '' You do that every day baby.''
Santana slowly pulls back wiping away her tears and pecks her on the lips, she squeezes her waist softly and walks over to the tree. She crouches down grabbing the last big wrapped gift from under the tree and stands back up, she looks up at her wife smiling sheepishly and chuckles. '' Looks like we both broke our promise on not buying something expansive for each other.''
Brittany chuckles and reaches out trying to take it from her, Santana shakes her head and places it down on the coffee table she looks up at her and smirks. '' I hope you like it, mi amor.''
Brittany leans down tearing the paper off of the gift and her eyes widen as she sees the newest console which was just released. '' No fucking way!'' She gasps out smiling brightly, Santana chuckles as she hears the boys gasp and watches them all scramble over taking a look at the box with Brittany.
'' Oh god, she even added the newest call of duty B!'' Puck gasps out taking the game as soon as Brittany opened the box.
'' And the newest Fifa plus two Call related controllers!'' Max adds grabbing the second game looking at the cover
'' Best wife ever.'' Brittany mumbles smiling brightly taking out the console, she turns it over inspecting it and bites her lip as she sees the skin.
'' That looks awesome, the call of duty skin is amazing and fits the white layout of the console!'' Mateo gushes looking at the console with a bright smile.
'' They look like kids in candy stores.'' Heather mutters laughing softly, Santana nods her head in agreement leaning into her as she wraps an arm around her shoulders and smiles lovingly as she sees the excited smile on her wife's face.
'' Mh they do.''
Brittany turns on her heels after placing everything back in the box and walks over to Santana, she leans down kissing her softly and wraps her up in a tight hug. '' God you are amazing! Thank you so much baby.''
Santana chuckles wrapping her arms around her shoulders and looks up at her smiling. '' Does it have everything you wanted baby?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles. '' Oh yeah, you even added an online gaming card.''
Santana smiles and leans up on her tiptoes, she looks over her shoulders and looks at the three men still looking at the console. '' Hey boys?'' She smiles as they turn to look at her and winks. '' Think you can set it up for her? It's almost time for the kids to take a nap and Abuela will start on dinner soon, I am sure she wants to try it out.''
'' What did I do to deserve you Santana Lopez?'' Brittany asks in wonder as the boys immediately nod their heads and run up the stairs to San's childhood bedroom with the console, Santana looks at her and smirks.
Brittany laughs as she sees the teasing twinkle in her eyes and quickly covers her mouth. '' If you say tutor me once again, I will kick your ass.''
Santana chuckles as everyone else burst out laughing and reaches up pulling her hand away from her mouth, she leans up on her tiptoes pecking her on the lips and smiles lovingly. '' By just being you mi amor, I fell in love with the crazy protective blonde back in high school and fell even deeper in love with you the second you let your defenses drop and showed me your loving side. You make me fall deeper in love with you every day because of the little things you do sometimes even without noticing, you are one of a kind Britt-Britt and I wouldn't trade you for all the money in the world.''
She covers Britt's small baby bump with her hand and glances down smiling with tears in her eyes. '' You give me the family I always dreamed of and support me no matter what, sure every relationship has their fights but even though you are just as stubborn you always force us to talk about it and clear the air not even an hour later. We grew up a lot these last few years but instead of growing apart like most of our friends did, our relationship just got stronger and I am sure we will survive every obstacle in our way together.''
'' We will make sure that we will.'' Brittany mutters her voice filled with tears, Santana smiles and reaches up wiping away her tears.
'' I know a lot of people were waiting for us to suffer under stress but we showed them that college and building up our careers didn't even put a small crack in our relationship, sure we are still young but what we have is one of a kind and nothing or no one can come in between what you and I have mi amor.'' She moves her hand around at their family and smiles. '' We have a huge family who will always be there for us and I really don't give a flying.'' She glances at the kids as her mother clears her throat and smiles sheepishly. '' Shooting star.''
She smiles as Brittany chuckles and shrugs. '' What strangers think the only thing important to me is our relationship.'' She glances down at her bump and smiles. '' Our little ones and our family that is all I need in life, with you by my side I know that I can conquer every obstacle laid in my way because you will help me with it.''
Brittany sniffles and pulls her in a hug, she buries her face in her shoulder and smiles tearfully wrapping her arms around her waist. '' God you always manage to turn me into a blubbering mess.''
Santana chuckles running her hand through blonde locks and turns her head kissing her temple lovingly. '' That is one of my talents mi amor and I am only telling the truth, I love you Britt-Britt.''
'' I love you too San.''
Susan wipes away her tears smiling as the group around her gather together in a hug and wipes away her tears. '' God every year they show us that they will survive adulthood and everything that comes with it, seeing them like this just shows me that they will be more than okay with not one but two kids thrown into the mix.''
Maribel nods her head and sniffles. '' They will be more than okay as long as they are together, I may have had my doubts the second I heard that B is carrying twins but it vanished the second I saw the love shine brightly in both of their eyes.''
'' They will rock motherhood and whatever comes with it mami.'' Naya mutters smiling lovingly at the couple standing in the middle of the living room in a loving embrace, Heather nods her head in agreement and exhales shakily.
'' They sure will.''
Brad looks up from the group hug and smiles as both girls turn to look at them, he holds out an arm and calls them over. '' Come here.''
Brittany walks over to him pulling Santana with her and falls into their family awaiting arms, She looks up at them and smiles. '' We love you guys.''
'' And we love you.'' Alma says smiling, the group nodding their heads in agreement.
'' Hey don't exclude us from some family group loving!'' Puck calls out thundering down the stairs with Max and Mateo, Brittany burst out laughing as they join the hug sandwiching them and shakes her head wiping away her tears.
She kisses her wife's head and smiles feeling the love all around them. '' Our kids will grow up knowing how it feels to be loved by so many people.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles. '' They sure will baby, they will not only be spoiled with gifts but also with love and tenderness.''
'' That is the only thing that I wish for them, that they feel as loved as we feel.''
'' We will make sure of that B.'' Marley says smiling, Demi nods her head in agreement and smiles.
'' This is our first Christmas that Max and I get to celebrate together and I am glad that we are celebrating it with this group, even though we joined unannounced you all make us feel like a part of this family and the love we feel and receive is something I cannot describe.''
Santana pulls out of the hug and kisses Demi's cheek smiling. '' You and Max are a part of our family D, we are glad to have you here.''
'' We are glad to be here San.'' Max replies almost immediately
Brittany sighs softly pulling out of the hug and smiles looking down at the kids, she runs her hand through Diego's hair and chuckles as he yawns. '' Nap time buddy?''
She smiles as Mateo picks him up as soon as he nods his head and turns to her wife smiling slightly. '' Do you need us baby?''
Santana laughs and shakes her head, she walks over to her as Puck takes Liv from Marley and leans up on her tiptoes kissing her softly. '' Go game baby.''
Santana laughs as she turns on her heels squeaking about gaming time with the boys and shakes her head as she sprints up the stairs following Puck and Mateo pulling Max with her, Alma chuckles leading everyone into the kitchen and looks at her. '' Is she still gaming so much?''
Santana shakes her head watching her take out the food she prepared yesterday as everyone else sits down at the table and smiles. '' No not like in high school but I sometimes come home to her yelling into her headset while she games with Puck and Max, most of the time she turns it off as soon as I come out of the shower though and after dinner we watch a movie together and just enjoy the night together.''
Maria chuckles taking a sip of the red wine Maribel poured for everyone and wraps an arm around Santana's shoulders giving her a glass. '' Mateo will probably join some of their game nights, he loves gaming but most of his friends don't have the time after becoming kids.''
Santana chuckles and nods her head. '' Yeah they probably already exchanged gamer tags, Britt always find new people to game with and I love to watch her sometimes.''
Heather chuckles and nods her head. '' I still remember moms shocked face the day B pulled you in her lap even though she had a marathon game night with the boys, even while gaming she still makes sure you feel loved and she shows you that she doesn't mind you interrupting her game time one bit.''
'' Wait she what?'' Maria asks shocked, she chuckles and runs a hand through her hair. '' Every time I try to ask Mateo something during his gaming time, he grumbles but still answers.''
Marley nods her head in agreement and chuckles. '' Yeah same goes with Puck, he is always so concentrated that he just grunts out his answer unless he hears Liv cry. He always jumps up still with his headset on and calms her down after asking B to protect him, after she fell back asleep he returns back to gaming.''
Santana chuckles and shrugs. '' B always answers and wraps her arms around me as I try to sit in her lap or pulls me in her lap, she is like that since the beginning and whenever I ask something she doesn't tell me to wait she mostly tells the boys to shut up so she can listen to me.''
'' I kinda don't believe you.'' Maria mutters chuckling. '' A gamer always gets sucked into the game he or she is playing.''
Alma chuckles and turns to her granddaughter. '' Go up and show her Santanita, you can also call them down because dinner is almost done. We will make sure the strong smell of the meat is out of the kitchen when B comes down.''
Santana nods her head and walks out of the kitchen Maria, Heather, Naya and Marley following, she jogs up the stairs and walks into her room stopping in her tracks as she sees her wife and the boys playing Fifa, Liv playing in her portable playpen and Diego playing a racing game on her old console on the computer monitor on her desk.
She turns to the girls chuckling as she sees them looking around with their eyebrow raised and shrugs. '' Leave it to them to make sure the kids are happy and you girls have a bit time for yourself while enjoying some gaming time too.''
She snaps a picture of the set up and turns to Maria smiling as she watches her pick Diego up so she can sit in the desk chair with him in his lap, she walks over to her wife and leans down kissing her cheek. '' Dinner is almost ready.''
Brittany nods her head ignoring the game and reaches out pulling her in her lap, she adjusts her position so they both can sit comfortable and wraps her arms around San's waist taking a hold of the controller again. She kisses her shoulder chuckling as she still managed to defend her own goal and turns Mateo smirking. '' Told ya.''
Mateo shakes his head and laughs. '' Yeah I believe you, damn every time Maria tries to ask me something while gaming I just grunt or tell her that I will do it in a few minutes.''
Heather laughs realizing her sister and Santana both talked about the same thing while being separated and shakes her head. '' Damn this is just some creepy soulmate bond.''
'' What?'' Brittany asks curiously, Naya laughs and wraps her arms around her wife's waist kissing her shoulder.
'' You and San talked about the same thing while being in separate rooms, San told Maria that even while gaming you still cuddle with her and pull her in your lap.''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders laughing as she manages to score with a scorpion kick and glances at the girls as the boys groan. '' I am a woman I can multi task, it's a bit harder when I play a shooter game but San can always come and cuddle or talk with me. The boys know to shut up as soon as they hear her voice and if they don't shut up I tell them to.''
Santana chuckles and tilts her head kissing the underside of her jaw. '' Dinner is almost ready, Abuela send us up so I could proof Maria that you still cuddle with me and to bring you all down so we can eat.''
Brittany nods her head and smiles as the boys turn off the game, she kisses her cheek softly and sighs. '' Thank you for the gift baby, the games and graphics are amazing!''
Puck nods his head in agreement and chuckles mentioning to Max and himself. '' You might come home to us sitting in your living room sometimes until we have one ourselves San.''
Santana laughs and shrugs. '' You guys are more than welcome.''
'' Yeah as long as you leave right after she came home it's all good.'' Brittany mutters smiling, Puck laughs and reaches over patting her shoulder.
'' We know B.''
'' Kids, Dinner!''
Brittany chuckles as she hears their dads and sighs running her hand through her hair. '' They do know that we are adults right?''
'' You will always stay our kids!''
Santana laughs as she hears her dad yell out his reply and shakes her head. '' We know papi!''
'' Come on.'' Puck says chuckling, Brittany watches them walk out of the room after picking up the kids and stands up as soon as Santana jumped up, they jog down the stairs and skip into the kitchen.
Maribel chuckles and clears her throat pointing her finger above the kitchen door entrance, Brittany looks up and laughs shaking her head as she sees a mistletoe hanging above them. '' Really mom?!''
'' Rules are rules kids.'' Susan says laughing as they all groan, Brittany laughs softly and leans down kissing her wife softly.
She pulls back as she hears a camera clicking and turns her head, Brad smirks and lowers his camera. '' That might be a picture for above our fireplace.''
Brittany chuckles and turns to Alma. '' Dinner is till too hot right?''
'' A bit, why?.'' Alma asks smiling, Brittany just smirks and walks over to Brad taking the camera from him, Santana smiles knowing what her wife plans and nudges her sister.
'' Tree.''
Naya nods her head telling their friends to walk into the living room and turns to their family. '' Come on.''
Brittany smiles as everyone walks out of the kitchen and follows them into the living room, she grabs the tripod standing in the corner and places it in the middle of the room. After setting everything up and hearing her wife tell everyone to stand in front of the tree, she walks over to them and smiles as San immediately pulls her in her arms.
She intertwines their hands on her small baby bump still keeping a hold on the small remote control for the camera and glances at her family. '' Ready?''
'' Say cheese!'' Brad calls out smiling brightly, Brittany looks in the camera with a bright smile as everyone calls out cheese and pushes the button.
She walks over to the camera after the flash and looks at the picture, she smiles lovingly as she sees everyone's bright smiles and looks up nodding her head. '' A perfect family picture.''
'' Alright dinner first, more pictures after.'' Alma calls out before anyone can ask for another one, Brittany nods her head in agreement and smiles as everyone walks back into the kitchen.
Santana walks over to her tapping the screen of the camera and looks at the picture, she smiles as she sees the bright spark in the bright blue eyes she loves so much and looks up at her. '' You look so beautiful in every picture mi amor, but on this one you are glowing a bit more.''
Brittany smiles and wraps her arms around her shoulders pulling her closer, she leans down and pecks her on the lips. '' That is because spending time with you and our family always make me the happiest baby.''
'' Mh, te amo Britt-Britt.''
'' I love you too San, proudly so.'' Brittany mutters pulling her into the kitchen so they can eat with their family.
