'' B-babe, I-I think my water just broke.''
After Santana jumped out of bed in shock and had a small nervous break down because Britt is almost a month to early, she quickly calmed herself down grabbing the hospital bag they had already packed and helped her wife out of the house and into her car after they both changed into comfortable clothes.
On her way she called their parents, sisters and best friends over the Bluetooth headset she always keeps in her car to let them know and raced down the empty streets towards the hospital.
Five hours later.
'' How is she doing San?'' Susan asks jumping up as she walks into the waiting room, Santana sighs tiredly running a hand down her face and bites her lip.
'' She is in a lot of pain and at 7 centimeters, the epidural she became doesn't relieve her at all it really sucks to see her in so much pain.''
Maribel walks over to her pulling her in a hug and sighs softly. '' Oh mija, how far are the contractions apart?''
'' Three minutes so I will go back to her now, she is in some serious discomfort and well let me just say I never heard such a colorful language coming out of her mouth.''
Susan laughs as everyone snickers and nods her head. '' Welcome to giving birth honey, go back to your girl.''
Santana nods her head turning on her heels after everyone gave her a quick hug and jogs down the hall ignoring the nurses yelling for her to slow down, she slips back into her wife's room just as another contraction hits and quickly walks to the bed keeping a hold of her arm stroking a hand through her hair. '' Oh mi amor.''
'' It fucking hurts.'' Brittany grits out as she tries to curl up in a ball, Santana frowns leaning down and kisses her forehead.
'' I can only imagine baby, want me to ask for another epidural?'' She turns her head as the door opens and sighs in relief as Dr Brown walks in. '' Dr Brown, can she get another epidural? The first one doesn't work at all.''
Dr Brown frowns having read that she got one an hour ago and walks over to the bed, she looks up at the couple in front of her and sighs softly. '' First of all hello and I didn't expect you here so early Brittany.''
'' Sorry, hi.'' Santana mumbles smiling sheepishly, her attention turns back to her wife as she screams out in pain and immediately grabs her hand barely keeping in a pained groan as she squeezes her hand painfully hard. '' Oh baby.'' She mutters sadly running her free hand over her sweaty forehead.
Brittany lays back down as the contraction fades and slowly let's go off her wife's hand looking at Dr Brown. '' Yeah didn't expect it either Dr Brown, but please get them out of me.'' She mutters tiredly.
'' Let me look how far you are dilated, how far are the contractions apart?''
'' Three minutes since an hour, but the last one came shortly after her last one.'' Santana answers having count them, Dr Brown nods her head lifting Brittany's gown and puts on her gloves.
She stops as another contraction hits Brittany and looks at the time, she pushes her pager as she sees that it was less than a minute and leans down. '' Alright Brittany you're crowning, it's time to push.'' She looks up moving the gown further up so it won't bother her and won't annoy Brittany and breaks the underside of the bed down as the nurses who walked in put her feet up in stir ups and turn the lights brighter. '' Take short breaths just like I told you and push as soon as I say alright?''
Brittany grits her teeth as another contraction hits her and nods her head groaning loudly, Santana leans down rubbing her hands down her arm and kisses her temple. '' Breath for me Britt-Britt.'' She mumbles doing the technique they practice squeezing her arm softly as she follows her lead.
'' Okay push.''
Santana immediately takes Brittany's hand in her own keeping up the breathing pattern they practiced and kisses her temple again as she screams out in pain. '' I am so proud of you mi amor, just keep breathing.'' She mutters softly running her free hand through sweaty blonde locks.
'' It hurts so fucking bad.'' Brittany mumbles tiredly as she lays back down tears streaming down her cheeks, Santana grabs the cold wash cloth from the table next to her as she feels how hot she feels and places it on her forehead.
Dr Brown looks up and smiles. '' Alright Brittany I need you to push on the next contraction.''
Santana squeezes her hand as she shakes her head muttering that she can't and leans down kissing her nose softly. '' You can do it, you are so strong mi amor.'' She runs her hand over her thumb as she arches up at another powerful contraction and closes her eyes as she hears her scream out in pain.
'' Never again! You can do our next one!''
She smiles through the pain she feels at hearing her scream in pain and kisses her knuckles. '' And I will, you are doing great mi amor.''
They both freeze as they hear Dr Brown mutter. ' Well hello little guy.'' And Santana's head snaps over to him biting her lip as she sees him holding one of their sons.
'' Santana you want to cut the umbilical cord?'' He asks as the little boy starts crying.
'' Do it baby.'' Brittany mutters tiredly, Santana nods her head and takes the scissor from one of the nurses. After she cut the umbilical cord their son is whisked away to be checked out and Santana turns back to her wife with tears in her eyes.
'' He is so beautiful, mi amor.'' She immediately takes her hand again as she watches her face contort in pain and bites her lip as she groans loudly another contraction hitting her, Dr Brown glances down smiling and nods his head.
'' You are one of the lucky gals Brittany, both babies laid in the right position. Ready to push and meet your other son?''
'' Yeah.'' Brittany rasps out laying back down after the pain fades, Santana looks at her wife frowning as she hears her having trouble breathing and turns to Dr Brown.
'' Dr Brown she is having trouble breathing.'' She says in the same second the monitors go off announcing a higher heart and blood pressure rate by the mother and the child, Dr Brown turns to one of the nurses and snaps his finger.
'' Give her an oxygen mask now and increase the fluids!'' Santana runs her hand through blonde locks watching panic fill tired bright blue eyes and lifts her hand up kissing her knuckles.
'' Calm down mi amor every thing will be alright, they are giving you some oxygen to make breathing easier.''
Dr Brown smiles as he watches Brittany's blood pressure return back to normal by only hearing her wife's voice and turns to Santana. '' Santana continue talking to her, it relaxes her.''
Santana nods her head down and kisses Brittany's temple tightening her hold on her hand as another contraction hits her. '' You are doing so well mi amor, I am so proud of you. We can hold both of our baby boys soon, te amo Britt-Britt proudly so.''
'' Love you too.'' Brittany breaths through the mask as she collapses back down as the contraction fades almost a minute later, Dr Brown looks up and smiles.
'' Only one or two more pushes Brittany.''
Santana bites back a groan at the pain in her hand as Brittany curls up grunting in pain at another contraction and places the wash cloth that fell of her forehead back on the heated skin, she smiles as she hears Dr Brown mutter ' There he is.' and leans down kissing her head as she collapses back down panting.
'' You did it mi amor, our little loves are here with us.'' She mutters with tears in her eyes.
'' Why isn't he crying?'' Brittany gasps out clawing at her oxygen mask.
'' Brittany calm down.'' Dr Brown says as he sees her heart rate spike up. '' He has a little trouble breathing.'' He rubs his hands over his little back holding the cord out as one of the nurses thrust another scissor in Santana's hand and let's her cut it, he stands up walking to the examination table and smiles in relief as another cry fills the room.
Brittany relaxes against the bed tears streaming down her cheeks and smiles, Santana turns to her feeling the tension leave her body and leans down kissing her forehead. '' I am so proud of you mi corazón.''
'' Thirsty.'' Brittany rasps out as the oxygen mask gets removed, Santana immediately reaches for the cup of water and holds out the straw for her.
'' Take slow sips, mi amor.'' She mutters knowing she couldn't drink for two hours while giving birth, she smiles as she does as she says and nods her head. '' Just like that babe.''
'' So mommies, want to hold your little boys?'' Dr Brown asks after examining both boys, Santana places the cup down smiling as two nurses walk over holding their little boys and looks down at their little boy placed in her arms.
She runs a finger through dark brown locks and smiles lovingly with tears in her eyes as he looks up at her with blue eyes. '' Ola mijo, god you are so beautiful.''
She turns to her wife watching her hold their other son and sniffles. '' They are so beautiful.''
'' He has your eyes.'' Brittany mutters tiredly smiling down at the little one in her arms, she runs her finger through blonde locks and sighs lovingly. '' God I love them so much already.''
Dr Brown watches them with a smile and looks at the time. '' Alright Brittany, ready to breastfeed them?''
Santana walks over to her as she nods her head and reaches out unsnapping the new gown they put on her after she gave birth, she places her son in her awaiting arm and slowly helps him searching smiling as he immediately latches on sucking.
She kisses her wife's forehead glancing down at their boys and sighs lovingly. '' They are beautiful, I love you so much Britt-Britt.''
Brittany leans her head against her shoulder also looking down at their sons and smiles. '' I love you too San.'' She looks up at her after watching them eat for a little while longer and sighs contently. '' Want to go tell our family and bring them back here? I want them to meet their namesakes.''
Santana nods her head slowly pulling back after kissing their foreheads and smiles, she turns to one of the nurses and clears her throat. '' Excuse me, could you maybe stay with them until I return back with our family?'' She asks not wanting to leave her wife alone knowing how tired she is, she thanks her as she nods her head smiling and quickly walks out of the room flipping off the nurse yelling for to quit running.
She walks into the waiting room smiling as everyone immediately jumps up looking at her excitingly and takes a deep breath. '' They are here, two healthy and beautiful baby boys!'' She blurts out smiling happily
She smiles as they all jump up squealing and stumbles back as they tackle her in a hug, Naya kisses her cheek having reached her first and hugs her tightly. '' Congratulations hermana!''
'' Congratulations mija!'' Maribel and Lio both mutter kissing her head smiling proudly as they feel her buzz with excitement, Santana smiles pulling out of the hug after everyone kissed their cheeks and runs a hand through her hair.
'' Do you want to meet them?'' She smiles as they all nod their heads smiling excitedly and turns to Demi and Max. '' Before you tell us that you will wait here, hell no we want the two of you to meet them too.''
She turns on her heels as they nod their heads smiling and leads them down the hall, she slowly opens the door to her wife's room and peaks her head inside smiling as tired blue eyes immediately lock on her own. '' Hey mi amor, ready for our family?''
She opens the door wider as she nods her head and walks in, she walks over to the bed leaning down kissing her forehead and takes their blonde haired son out of her arms smiling as he sighs contently settling against her chest.
'' God they are precious!'' Alma breaths out tears filling her eyes as she sees the two little boys in their arms.
'' God he looks just like you San.'' Heather breaths out after everyone greeted Britt looking down at the little one in her sisters arm, Brittany smiles slowly placing him in her sisters arm and kisses his little forehead.
'' Say hi to your aunts, baby boy.''
Everyone gasp as his eyes slowly open and Naya looks up. '' But he has your beautiful eyes B.''
Brittany nods her head smiling lovingly as she watches her wife place their blonde haired boy in the arms of his great grand mother and pulls her closer, Santana slowly sits down on the edge of the bed watching their family pass their sons around cooing as everyone gets to hold them and turns her head kissing her temple. '' Thank you.''
Brittany smiles turning her head and kisses her softly. '' Thank you for standing beside me the whole time and enduring my bitching and screaming baby, I hope you know that I meant none of it.''
Santana chuckles softly and shakes her head leaning their foreheads together. '' It's pretty understandable babe, you give birth to both of our baby boys naturally because the drugs didn't work at all.''
'' Hey girls, what are their names?'' Lio asks interrupting them looking down at the blonde haired boy in his arms, Brittany and Santana both exchange a glance smiling and clear their throats.
'' Papi you are holding Alexander Brad Lopez, short we will call him Alex.'' Santana says smiling as she sees Brad's head snap up in shock, Brittany nods her head as he looks at her questioningly and bites her lip.
'' We wanted to name him after you dad, you were there for the both of us during all the important things in our lives and you support us no matter what. Our sons will get to know you as their grandfather and I couldn't be happier knowing they will feel loved by both sets of grand parents, their great Abuela and their aunts and uncles.''
Brad smiles as Lio places the little boy in his arms and leans down kissing his forehead. '' Hi little one.'' He looks up at both girls as the little boy tries to grasp his nose and smiles tearfully. '' Thank you, I love you girls.''
'' We love you too dad.'' Brittany says smiling, she turns to Naya smiling as she watches her look down at the little one in her arms with a loving smile and clears her throat.
'' Nay?'' She smiles as she looks up raising an eyebrow and licks her lips. '' You are holding Nicolas Lio Lopez.''
'' After Abuelo and papi?'' Naya asks smiling as her parents and Abuela gasp softly walking over to her, Santana nods her head leaning into her wife and smiles lovingly as she sees the tears in her Abuela's eyes.
'' Yes after Abuelo and papi, but instead of Nick like Abuelo liked to get called we will call him Nico.''
Alma takes the little boy from Naya and smiles kissing his forehead, she looks up at both girls on the bed and smiles tearfully. '' Your Abuelo would be so proud of all of you and I am sure that he would have loved your wives, I think that I can speak for him when I say that I am honored to watch this little boy grow up and probably be like both of his namesakes strong, loving and just amazing young boys.''
Lio walks over to the bed kissing their foreheads and sniffles wiping away his tears. '' I am honored girls, I love you so much.''
Santana stands up hugging him wiping away her own tears and smiles. '' We love you too papi.''
Susan walks over to her daughter after her husband hugged her and leans down kissing her forehead. '' How are you feeling honey?''
'' Tired but so, so happy.'' Brittany mutters kissing her cheek, she pulls her in a hug smiling as her sister joins them and sighs softly.
Heather kisses her cheek and smiles. '' They are adorable and a perfect mix of you and San together sis, I am so happy that I am an aunt of two beautiful little boys. I love you sis.''
Brittany smiles tiredly kissing her cheek and sighs. '' Love you too sis.''
She pulls out of the hug and holds out her arms. '' Alright lemme hold one of my sons.''
Demi chuckles walking over to her with Nico in her arms and slowly places him in her arms kissing her cheek. '' They are so adorable, congratulations B.''
Brittany smiles thanking her softly and runs her finger down his cheek smiling as he grasp it in his own, she watches her wife walk over with Alex and scoots over with the help of her dad making space for her to sit next to her.
Santana settles down next to her placing Alex on her chest smiling as he cuddles into her chest and leans down kissing his head, she turns to her wife after she settled Nico against her chest and leans their foreheads together. '' Te amo.''
'' I love you too San.'' Brittany mutters tiredly kissing her softly not knowing that her sister snaps pictures of them, they both pull out of the kiss looking down at their sons with loving smiles and sigh contently leaning against each other.
Heather sends them the pictures after taking a few of them looking down at the little ones and clears her throat. '' Girls I think we are all going so you can get some rest, do you need anything from home?''
Santana looks up at her shaking her head and smiles. '' No, I will probably drive home myself tomorrow morning to change the bed. Thank you all for being here and for calming me down every time I came to update you though.''
Maribel walks over to her kissing her forehead and smiles. '' No need to thank us mija and you can stay here tomorrow morning, Susan and I will drive down tomorrow and change the bedding for you.''
'' Mama Lo, you do..'' Maribel reaches over her daughter shushing Brittany and chuckles as she rolls her eyes, she walks around the bed kissing her cheek and smiles.
'' I know that we don't have to, but we want to mija so let us okay? The two of you can focus on a bit of sleep and on the little ones.''
'' Thank you.'' They both breath out smiling lovingly, they smile as everyone say their goodbyes and Brittany turns to her wife after they left.
'' They are hungry again.'' She mutters tiredly as they start crying, Santana nods her head helping her unsnap her gown and watches in amazement as they immediately latch on with a little help.
'' God, I can't believe that we are parents of two adorable boys.''
'' I am glad that they are perfectly healthy even though they are almost a month too early.'' Brittany says softly looking down at their boys, Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles lovingly.
'' Yeah I am too baby.'' She takes Nico from her as soon as he finishes and burps him sliding her hand over his back, she slides out of bed after Britt kissed his forehead and places him in his crib.
She leans down kissing his forehead and smiles as he yawns. '' Sleep tight mijo, te amo.'' She walks over to the bed taking Alex from Britt after she burped him and kisses his forehead placing him in the crib next to Nico. '' Good night mijo, te amo.''
She walks back to the bed smiling as she sees her wife slipping in and out of sleep and tucks her in, she kisses her forehead and turns the chair so she can look at their sons and her wife. '' Go to sleep baby, I love you.''
She smiles as she receives no answer knowing she already fell asleep and slides down her chair grabbing the pullover she took off the second she walked into the room almost eleven hours ago, she uses it as a pillow and props her feet up on another chair slowly drifting off to sleep herself.
