Santana smiles looking down at her sons after she bottle fed them breast milk to let her wife sleep and runs a finger down their cheeks, she tiredly rubs her eyes walking out of their room after she made sure they fell asleep and walks down the hall into the living room.
'' Are they sleeping?'' Brittany asks looking up from her position on the couch, Santana nods her head sliding in between her body and the back of the couch and cuddles into her humming.
'' Yeah, how are you feeling?'' She asks softly knowing how tired she was because both boys woke up almost every hour of the night, Brittany sighs softly kissing her forehead and shrugs.
'' A bit tired but the nap really helped, thank you for bottle feeding them baby.''
Santana kisses her shoulder and smiles. '' No need to thank me for that mi amor, I love bottle feeding them and I love to have them here at home with us.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and sighs. '' Yeah me too baby, god I can't believe that they are here with us for almost three weeks now.''
Santana smiles nuzzling her face in her neck and hums. '' Mh best three weeks that I can add to my time I spend with you, I always felt really happy with you bit now with both boys laying in their room only a few feet away from us makes me feel so.''
'' Complete?'' Brittany asks as she notices her searching for a word, she smiles as she nods her head and turns her head kissing her forehead lovingly. '' I feel that way too baby, I never felt like something was missing until I got pregnant and now that they are here with us I feel like our family is complete.''
Santana leans up on her elbow glancing at the time and smiles, she leans down kissing her softly and sighs. '' Our parents will be here soon babe.''
Brittany groans softly sighing and nods her head, Santana smiles sliding off of the couch and kisses her again. '' I will start on dinner, go grab a relaxing shower baby.''
'' You sure you don't need any help baby?'' Brittany asks suppressing a yawn, Santana helps her stand up and wraps her arms around her waist smiling.
'' Yes I am sure, I prepared most of it before the boys woke up and you were fast asleep on the couch Britt-Britt.''
'' Yeah sorry for that.''
Santana shushes her and chuckles. '' Baby you gotta stop apologizing for falling asleep, it is normal to have less sleep the first few months and I am glad you get to rest a little by taking a nap.''
'' I don't even know why I am so tired, you jump up every night to feed them.'' Brittany mutters rolling her eyes, Santana smiles leaning up on her tiptoes and pecks her on the lips.
'' Because you automatically wake up with me and you are always awake when I slip back into bed with you, now go take a shower mi amor and relax a bit before our parents arrive in twenty minutes.'' She turns them around slowly pushing her towards the hallway and slaps her ass smiling cheekily as she glares at her over her shoulder. '' Go.''
'' So bossy.'' Brittany mutters chuckling, Santana laughs walking into the kitchen and peaks back out winking as they lock eyes.
'' You love it.''
After she heard the shower start Santana grabs the lasagna she prepared and shoves it into the oven after preheating it, after setting the timer she leans against the kitchen counter taking out her phone and scrolls down her recipes thinking of what to made for dessert.
She frowns not really knowing what to make and rolls her eyes sighing after narrowing it down to three recipes, she opens her Instagram account and scrolls down to her newest post after receiving a message about a new comment.
She smiles as she sees the picture she took of her wife fast asleep on the couch with both boys near her and bites her lip, she scrolls down to the message she wrote smiling as she thinks back to the happy tears that filled her wife's eyes as soon as she read it and sighs happily.
Almost three weeks ago my wife woke me up telling me the words I was waiting for, for the past nine months. After almost eleven hours of being in labor we got to hold our little boys Alex and Nico Lopez, we are over the moon to have them here with us and to spend all of our times with them. Words just can't describe how happy I feel and how happy it makes me to raise our little family, she told me she was pregnant on my birthday which I thought was the best gift to start the new year with but having them here now and watching my wife be the amazing mother I know she was even before we tried getting pregnant, is more than I ever wished for. I love to watch her talk to our little boys or watch her take a nap with them, yes having babies is quite stressful and we have a lot of sleepless nights but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
BrittBritt there are so many words coming to mind when I think about you, but watching you with our sons renders me speechless. It is so amazing to watch you care for them and I am so glad I can experience it with you, I love you and our boys to the moon and back mi amor thank you for everything you did the last ten years. You will be the best mommy ever.
She scrolls down to the comment section and smiles as she sees a comment from her wife.
As always you have your way with words and I have no idea what to write here, so I just wanted to thank you my love. Thank you for standing behind me for almost nine years now, thank you for showing me that it is okay to be myself, thank you for opening my eyes and for always knowing what to say when I had another difficult decision job wise, thank you for being you and most of all thank you for being the most awesome mami to both of our boys and for loving me. I love you so much Santana that it hurts sometimes, my emotions are all over the place at the moment and I know it's quite difficult to be around me sometimes. But even with the whirlwind of emotions going through my mind one thing will never change and that is the love I feel for you and our sons.
She jumps as she feels arms wrap around her waist from behind not even noticing she turned around to lean on the counter during reading Britt's comment and scrolls down reading the last part of it sniffling as Brittany whispers every word in her ear.
You are the love of my life Santana Lopez and I am so happy we get to enjoy the wonders of becoming parents together, there is no one else in the world that I can imagine waking up next to every day of my life. Yes we have our ups and downs but that just makes our relationship stronger, our relationship grows with us and it grows tighter with every discussion we have. I am one hundred percent sure that nothing in this universe can come in between the bond we have, you really are my soulmate and watching you become a mami and watching the loving smile brighten more and more every day we spend with our babies makes me fall in love with you all over again.
'' Not good at words my ass.'' Santana mutters tearfully turning in her arms, she pulls Brittany closer and buries her face in her chest tears streaming down her cheeks.
Brittany wraps her arms around her shoulders kissing her head and sighs softly. '' When it comes to you, words just come out as soon as I start typing and things like this come out. I mean every word of it, You are the best thing that ever happened to me San and I thank god every day that moving to the states brought you into my life.''
Santana sniffles slowly pulling back and leans up on her tiptoes pecking her on the lips. '' I thank god every day for you moving here too Britt-Britt, with you the world is so bright and colorful the complete opposite of the things I felt before you barged into my life or well into the English classroom nobody ever used except us.''
Brittany laughs and nods her head. '' I am so glad I accepted Mr Smith's request to tutor someone, I knew from the second I saw you in that classroom that it wouldn't just be a tutoring thing and I am so glad that everything turned out like this. ''
Santana smiles leaning back against the kitchen counter and nods her head in agreement pulling her closer. '' Mh I felt the connection between us too but in that moment I never realized that I met my soulmate, god I can't believe that we know each other for almost ten years, are together for almost nine and married for almost one year now.''
'' And now we are parents of the two cutest boys, you make me so happy Santana. My heart feels like it will burst any second with all the love I feel for you, I never imagined that my high school crush on you would develop like this but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.''
They both jump as the timer goes off signaling that the lasagna is done and Santana walks to the oven laughing as the doorbell rings as soon as she opens it to take the lasagna out, Brittany shakes her head chuckling and walks out of the kitchen to let their parents in.
She opens the door and smirks. '' Perfect timing, dinner is ready.''
Susan laughs enveloping her in a hug and kisses her cheek. '' Hey honey.'' Brittany sighs contently stepping to the side still in her mothers arms and buries her face in her shoulder.
'' Hey mama.''
Brad walks up to her as she slowly steps back and opens his arms smirking. '' Got any love left for your old man?''
Brittany laughs tackling him in a hug and kisses his cheek. '' Hey dad, please never call yourself old again you just turned forty-five.''
Brad laughs lifting her up in his arms and smirks as she squeals laughing loudly, Santana walks out of the kitchen following the noise and smiles lovingly as she watches them goof around.
'' Mija!'' Maribel squeals out smiling brightly at the apron she wears, Santana laughs as she tackles her in a hug and wraps an arm around both of her parents kissing their cheeks.
'' Ola mami, Ola papi.''
She smiles as Susan hugs her as soon as her parents pull back and kisses her cheek. '' Hey mama P.''
Brittany groans as she hears the boys cry and taps her dads shoulder. '' Sorry dad duty calls, I think we were too loud.''
Brad smiles sheepishly letting her down and nods his head, Santana smiles as Brittany shakes her head as she offers to grab them and watches her jog up the stairs still careful not to go too fast knowing her breast are still very sore. She kisses Brad's cheek as he hugs her and smiles. '' Hey papa P, come on let's get settled into the kitchen the table is already set.''
She walks into the kitchen knowing their parents will follow her and sits down after placing three bottles of beer and three glasses of wine on the table, she smiles as her mother looks at her with an eyebrow raised and shrugs. '' B pumped milk and will probably feed them now so she can drink one or two beers.''
'' How are the two of you doing?'' Susan asks noticing the dark circles under her eyes, Santana sighs taking a sip of her wine and smiles.
'' It's alright we have to get used to every wake up call in the middle of the night for a feeding but I mostly tell B to stay in bed and I bottle feed them, B pumps every morning and every night because her breast ache quite quickly and I love bottle feeding them.''
'' Yeah you look happy but also really tired.'' Maribel mutters frowning.
'' That is because they wake up, up to four times at night for a feeding or a diaper change. The tiredness will go away as soon as they sleep a little more then three hours mama Lo.'' Brittany says walking into the kitchen carrying the boys, Maribel smiles brightly as she sees them and takes Alex from her chuckling as Susan immediately takes Nico.
'' Ola nieto.'' She mumbles softly kissing his head, she stands up and kisses Britt's cheek. '' Ola mija.''
'' Hey mama Lo.'' Brittany mutters walking over to her wife smiling lovingly as she watches her mom cuddle into Brad taking a hold on Alex and Maribel do the same with Nico.
Santana wraps her arms around her waist covering her still soft stomach with her hands and kisses her shoulder watching their parents gush over the little boys. '' I don't think life can get any better for me, I have you, our boys, our family and our friends.''
Brittany turns her head cupping the back of her neck and kisses her softly. '' Same goes for me baby, I have everything I need and I couldn't be any happier.'' She smiles as she watches the boys slowly fall back asleep safely in their grandparents arms and slowly stands up, Santana stands up smiling as she watches her pull out the two bouncers placing them side by side and walks to the kitchen counter grabbing the lasagna.
After she placed their dinner on the middle of the table and filling their plates with food, she sits back down smiling as Brittany sits down beside her and watches her bounce Nico slowly as her mother bounces Alex in the same rhythm.
'' This looks and smells amazing San!'' Brad says smiling brightly taking a sip of his beer, Susan nods her head in agreement and smiles.
'' Yeah it really does honey.''
Santana smiles taking a sip of her wine and nods her head to their plates. '' Dig in.''
Lio hums after the first bite and covers his mouth looking at his daughter in shock. '' Whoa mija, please come over and cook for us next time.''
Brittany covers her mouth almost spitting out her beer as she starts laughing at Maribel's expression and shakes her head. '' You might want to backtrack that comment papa Lo.''
Lio smiles sheepishly kissing his wife's cheek and shrugs. '' Come on honey this is really amazing and it will give you and Susan a break from cooking.''
Maribel smiles in amusement as she sees Brittany still chuckling and shakes her head patting his hand. '' You know that I love cooking mi amor.'' She turns to her daughter and smiles. '' But your papi is right, this is really amazing mija.''
Santana shrugs her shoulders and smiles slightly. '' It's just lasagna.''
'' Amazing lasagna!'' Brad and Susan exclaim in unison, Brittany chuckles kissing her cheek and nods her head in agreement.
'' Yeah it is really amazing baby.''
Santana blushes softly thanking them and quickly takes a sip of her wine, Brittany snickers kissing her cheek again and shrugs as she fake glares at her. Santana smirks as she raises her hands in surrender smiling innocently and shakes her head. '' I know what you are thinking, don't you dare say it out loud.''
'' What?'' Brittany asks faking confusion, she smirks taking a sip of her beer and slides out of her seat grabbing their empty plates. '' You mean that ethnic people don't blush?''
Santana stands up helping her clear the table shaking her head as their parents offer their help and softly slides Nico over to Susan so she can bounce him, she turns to her wife and softly hits her arm as their parents chuckle. '' Shut up Britt-Britt.''
Brittany chuckles pulling her in her arms after loading up the dishwasher and pecks her on the lips, they both turn to their parents as they hear their mothers coo and chuckle as she watches them snap pictures.
'' They are smiling.'' Susan mutters snapping pictures of the two little boys, Santana and Brittany both walk over and glance down smiling lovingly as they see the small smiles on their sons faces.
'' They are so cute.'' Brittany mumbles wrapping her arms around Santana from behind, Santana leans back against her still looking down at their boys and nods her head.
'' Yeah they really are mi amor.''
'' The two of you are doing an amazing job, I know it has only been three weeks and the two of you look tired as hell but the boys look really happy and the two of you do too.'' Lio says smiling proudly.
Brittany steps away from Santana as she sees Alex's eyes flutter open and slowly picks him up smiling as Santana takes Nico, she kisses his head cradling him against her chest and turns to look at Lio. '' It is so easy to love them and Santana is really a godsend, she stands up every night to feed them and always tells me to go back to sleep even though I can't.''
Santana kisses Nico's head leaning against the counter beside her wife and runs a hand through his dark locks. '' I love to bottle feed them and to hold them in my arms, I also know that you toss and turn for hours before you fall asleep so of course I will get up so you can sleep or relax. We are in this together baby and I already told you before we even tried that I will feed them in the middle of the night, I just love sitting in the rocking chair with one of them in my arms while they drink.''
'' You know, there is a reason why we wanted an early dinner at your place.'' Brad softly mutters walking up to them, he takes Nico from Santana smiling as he cuddles into her and steps back beside his wife as Lio takes Alex from Brittany.
'' What is it?'' Brittany asks curiously, Susan smiles kissing her cheek and reaches out squeezing Santana's hand.
'' We will sit here with the boys and feed them if needed, you girls can take a nap and catch up on a bit of sleep.''
'' Mama P...'' Maribel laughs covering her daughters mouth reaching out to place a finger on Brittany's lips knowing she will protest too and shakes her head.
'' Don't even think about protesting, you girls need some sleep we both know how it is raising twins so please just lay down and relax for a bit. We will stay in this apartment with the boys because we know you don't want to be separated from them just yet, so we brought a movie which we will watch with the boys safely placed in their bouncers near us and the two of you can nap for a few hours.''
'' God that sounds really amazing.'' Brittany mumbles smiling sheepishly, Santana nods her head in agreement leaning against her wife and smiles.
'' Yeah it really does.''
'' Go lay down girls, we know where the bottles are, we know how to heat them up and we know how to burp them and change their diapers. Just take this small break and catch up on a few hours of sleep.'' Susan says nudging them out of the kitchen, Brittany slowly nods her head and leans down kissing the little boys heads.
'' Thank you.'' She mumbles softly, Brad shakes his head pushing them out of the kitchen completely and smiles.
'' No need to thank us girls.''
Santana turns to her wife after kissing their boys head and smiles. '' You up for a nap baby?'' Brittany nods her head tiredly running her hand down her face and intertwines their fingers.
They walk towards their bedroom after making sure their parents have everything and slowly change into a tank top and shirts, Brittany pushes Santana on her back and slides into her arms laying her head on her chest.
Santana runs her hand through blonde locks kissing her head and sighs softly. '' Go to sleep baby.''
Brittany nods her head sighing softly burrowing herself into her and kisses the top of her breast. '' I am kinda glad our parents are watching them to let us nap.''
'' Yeah I am too, now sleep baby.''
Santana smiles as she receives no answer knowing her wife is on the verge of falling asleep and kisses her head again. '' Te amo, Britt-Britt.''
