'' B!''
'' San!'' Demi and Max yell excitedly as soon as they open the door, Santana laughs stumbling back as Demi tackles her in a hug and tightly wraps her arms around her shoulder kissing her cheek.
'' D! Damn long time no see!''
Brittany smiles hearing them immediately start a conversation and hugs Max after fist bumping him, she kisses his cheek as she feels his arms wrap around her shoulder and leans into him.
'' You look happy as hell Max, how are you?''
'' Perfectly fine B, life couldn't get any better.'' Max breaths out pulling out of the hug with a bright smile, he smiles walking over to Santana switching places with Demi and hugs her. '' Hey San.''
'' Hey Max.'' Santana says with a bright smile, she steps to the side after kissing his cheek and nods her head to the kitchen. '' Come on time for a drink and a bite, you can tell us all about your tour!''
Demi turns to her after kissing Brittany's cheek and smiles sheepishly. '' That sounds great and I am sure your little ones are asleep, but can we maybe see them I promise that we will be as quiet a possible.''
'' Yeah it's almost four months ago that we saw you all.'' Max mutters smiling slightly, Brittany chuckles looking at the time and winks.
'' Stay here I will go grab them, they will wake up soon.''
'' Babe will you?'' Brittany nods her head kissing her wife softly and smiles.
'' Yes I will baby, will you warm up the bottles?''
Santana nods her head leading their friends into the kitchen as she jog into their boys nursery and takes the bottles out of the refrigerator, she puts them in the bottle warmer, she turns around leaning against the counter and tilts her head looking at the couple in front of her smiling slightly. '' How was your tour?''
Demi smiles as Brittany walks in and sighs happily leaning against Max. '' It was amazing! I really missed going on tour, but we also missed the two of you a lot!''
'' We missed you guys too D.'' Brittany says softly, she leans against the counter beside her wife after she takes Alex and adjusts her hold on Nico rocking him softly as she feels him stir.
'' God they are so big.'' Demi breaths out looking at the two little boys in their arms, Brittany smiles looking down at Nico and runs a finger through his hair nodding her head in agreement.
'' Yeah.'' She turns around as the bottle warmer beeps and takes one of the bottles, after checking the temperature of the milk she walks over to their friends and places Nico in Demi's arms after adjusting the shirt he wears.
Demi looks down at the boy in her arm running her fingers through his hairs and smiles. '' God he is beautiful.''
'' Um babe?'' Max mutters softly in shock as he notices the shirt he wears, he squeezes her hand on his tummy as she hums and bites his lip smiling.
'' Look at his shirt.''
Demi's eyes widen as she reads the text and her head snaps up looking at both girls. '' You serious?'' She bites her lip looking down as they both hum softly while looking down at Alex and runs her fingers over the words on his shirt giving Nico his bottle as he whines.
Every prince needs godparents, will you be mine?
She nods her head leaning down to kiss his head and smiles looking up at her best friends. '' I would love to be his godmother.''
Max nods his head in agreement taking Alex from them and rubs his back to burp him. '' I would love it too, but what about your other friends girls?''
Brittany pulls Santana in her arms smiling as she watches both boys cuddle into them and sighs. '' Puck and Marls are Alex's godparents and well we barely talk to the New York group, you are around us and will be a huge part of them while they grow up.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles. '' Hell the both of you already helped us before Britt gave birth, you distracted her and helped her when I had to work. Not to mention that the both of you kinda helped us build their nursery with the payment raise B became, you are there when we need you and we know our boys will be in good hands when you baby sit.''
'' We are honored and we will always be there for you just like the two of you are there for us when we need someone.'' Max says standing up adjusting his hold on Alex, he walks over to them and kisses their cheeks.
Santana smiles leaning down to kiss Alex's forehead and sighs softly as she smells the typical baby smell. '' Te amo, mi hijo.'' She turns to her wife and softly pushes her to the table. '' Sit baby, I will reheat our dinner and grab our drinks.''
Max places Alex in Britt's arms before she can protest and softly pushes her towards Demi smiling as she sits down, he leans down kissing his girlfriends head and sighs softly. '' I will help San.''
Demi kisses Brittany's cheek and smiles. '' How are you really doing B?''
Brittany sighs softly rocking Alex as he wails and rubs his back as he settles his head on her shoulder, she turns to Demi and bites her lip. '' I am alright.''
Demi raises an eyebrow and reaches out taking a hold of her hand as Nico nuzzles his face in her chest. '' Want to try saying it more convincing?''
'' I just don't feel like me you know?'' Brittany mumbles smiling sadly, Demi tilts her head and squeezes her hand softly.
'' Can you elaborate?''
Brittany sighs looking down at their sons and shrugs. '' I gained weight and feel fat, I am so insecure that I don't change in front of my wife anymore and let's not talk about the other things. We spend our anniversary cuddling in bed after dinner and before it could turn out in more I stopped her, I feel ashamed of my body right now and I don't know how I can change it.''
'' Oh B.'' Demi breaths out softly, she turns in her seat facing her after adjusting the little boy in her arms and reaches out turning her head so she is looking at her. '' You are anything but fat B, you made sure your adorable little boys had a place to grow up and feed themselves to be healthy and happy. Sure you gained a little weight which is normal after carrying twins but I know you and I know that you started working out again, I also know that San reassures you every day and the feeling will vanish soon okay?'' She reaches out pulling her in a hug after making sure both boys won't be bothered and kisses her cheek. '' Max and I changed one of the guestrooms at the house into a nursery for both boys, if you want to work out just come by the little ones can sleep in the nursery and we can work out together if you want.''
'' D you didn't.'' Demi smiles shushing her and shrugs.
'' I know that we didn't have to do that, but we wanted to. I don't see you as my employee or just someone from my band B, you are my best friends and I love your little boys. We wanted to help them feel well at our house too so the nursery is all theirs, that way they can sleep at our house and the both of you can relax in the pool or you can work out whatever you want.''
Brittany smiles nodding her head and hugs her. '' Thank you.'' She breaths out, Demi smiles pulling back as their partners walk back in and kisses her cheek.
'' Anytime B.''
Santana kisses Demi's cheek after placing their food on the table and smiles. '' Max told me about the nursery, thank you so much D.''
Demi smiles rocking Nico as he whines and looks up at her. '' Anytime San.''
Brittany stands up pushing Max down next to Demi after thanking him softly and kisses his cheek, she places Alex in his arms and leans back against her wife as she wraps his arms around her from behind.
Santana leans up on her tiptoes and kisses her cheek. '' Let's eat mi amor.''
During dinner Demi cuddles with the little boy in her arms and looks at both girls smiling. '' Hey girls?'' She chuckles as they simultaneously hum looking up and raises an eyebrow. '' When will Heath and Nay try for kids?''
Brittany intertwines her hands with Santana's under the table and sighs. '' Um they won't, at the beginning they wanted kids but after talking more about it they decided against it.''
'' Why?'' Max asks curiously, Brittany sighs running a hand through her hair and bites her lip.
'' Well Nay is in the middle of her career and they both decided that she won't carry and Heath can't get carry children after an accident, I offered them to donate my eggs but after the four of us discussed it for two more years they decided against it and told us that they will probably adopt a little one as soon as they feel like they settled into their jobs.''
'' What kind of accident?'' Demi asks shocked, Brittany closes her eyes biting her lip as she feels Santana squeeze her hand softly and sighs.
'' Um well the both of you know that our dad was abusive right?'' She looks down at her hands watching a tanned thumb rub over the back of her hand as they nod their heads and exhales slowly. '' When she was little Heath was quite loud and always restless, our dad flipped out hitting her and well he hit her pelvic bone with force and broke it.''
Santana squeezes her wife's hand as she hears her voice crack and pulls her in her arms, she looks up at the couple in front of them seeing the shock in their eyes and bites her lip. '' It healed up and she has no pain, but it caused infertility.''
'' Did he get charged?'' Max asks anger bubbling in his voice, Brittany scoffs and shakes her head.
'' No well the police wrote it up as an accident and let him go, I got my payback a few years later tho.''
'' How?'' Demi asks raising an eyebrow anger clouding her eyes, Brittany shrugs smirking a little and chuckles.
'' The day I turned twelve he wanted me to play baseball.'' She shrugs her shoulder chuckling and looks up at them. '' He stood behind me and I hit him full force in his crotch, I already took years of boxing before so the force I hit him with caused several damage.'' She laughs as Max winces and runs a hand through her hair. '' He had to walk around with a diaper kind of thing for almost a year, the doctors also told him that he couldn't have any kids and he had to undergo an operation.''
'' It hurts to hear about it and I can feel the pain, I have to say damn good job B even if it was an accident.''
Brittany turns to Max and bites her lip. '' It wasn't even though I told everyone in tears that it was, I never forgot what he did to Heath and waited for the perfect opportunity for payback. Heath still sometimes fights with the thought of what happened and that she can't have her own family or carry a child, but now with Nay she learned to cope with it and they will probably adopt a little one as soon as they are both ready for that step.''
'' That's my girl.'' Demi mutters proudly covering her mouth as she chews on her pizza, Santana nods her head in agreement wiping some tomato sauce from the corner of Britt's mouth and kisses her cheek.
'' Mh even as a small kid she was so protective, Susan and Heather always share random stories and with every story I fall even more in love with B.''
'' Yeah we saw the protectiveness and fierce love during Christmas and New years day, it was really nice to feel a part of such a tight family.'' Demi comments smiling, Brittany puts her slice down and glances at her wife smirking.
'' Santana learned from it tho, she had a small group of friends in high school and didn't talk much to other students but since we met she is open to learning other people and some become our friends.''
She stands up as Nico starts to fuss and chuckles as she sees Demi looking down at him biting her lip, she leans over her taking him in her arm and places him on her chest rocking him. '' You are tired aren't ya baby boy.'' She smiles as he looks up at her with bright blue eyes and gives him an Eskimo kiss. '' Let's change your diaper baby.'' She looks down at Max knowing her wife wants to talk to Demi and smirks. '' Want to learn how to change diapers Max?''
She smiles as he nods standing up adjusting his hold on Alex and smiles as Santana walks over to them, she turns on her heels after both girls kissed the little boys heads and leads Max into the nursery.
'' How did you know that the girls wanted to talk?'' Max asks as soon as she closes the door, Brittany places Nico on the changing table smiling as Max places Alex next to him and chuckles.
'' They were both exchanging glances during dinner and I am sure D has quite a lot to talk about after being gone for four months.''
Max nods his head smiling as Brittany gives him tips on how to change Alex his diaper and sighs softly. '' Yeah she does, she had one day where she wanted to drink but then she received a picture of the four of you and she immediately brightened up.''
'' I am sure that we can support her even though we were so far apart, I am also glad that she has you by her side Max you are really good for her and I am so happy that she is so in love and happy with you.''
They carry the boys over to the bed after throwing away the diapers and settle them in, Brittany gives Nico the teddy Max and Demi bought them in the hospital and smiles as he immediately clutches onto it.
She crouches down in between both beds and runs a finger over their foreheads smiling as they look at her, she smiles lovingly as they both grab her finger and runs her tongue piercing over her bottom lip.
Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright
May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams
Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed
Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn
Max takes out his phone recording her making sure the boys aren't completely on the video and smiles as he watches them yawn as Brittany's soothing voice slowly lulls them to sleep.
Lullaby, and good night, you are mommy's delight
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms
He looks up as the door slowly opens and smiles as his girlfriend and Santana both lean against the doorpost watching Brittany with loving smiles and eyes glistening, Brittany turns her head feeling her wife's eyes on her and calls her over with a nod of her head.
Santana immediately walks over crouching down in front of her and runs a hand over both of their sons heads joining her on the last part of the song.
Lullaby, and sleep tight, my darling sleeping
On sheets white as cream, with the head full of dreams
Sleepyhead, close your eyes, I'm right beside you
Lay thee down now and rest, may you slumber the best
They both slowly stand up as both boys fall into a deep slumber and stand over the cribs, Brittany leans down kissing Nico's forehead and runs a finger through his brown locks. '' Sleep tight baby boy, I love you.''
She swaps places with Santana leaning over Alex and runs her finger through his blonde locks, she kisses his forehead and sighs contently. '' Sleep well baby, I love you.''
She follows her wife and their friends out of the room after making sure they have a hold on their teddies and slowly closes the door, she walks into the living room sliding into the love seat and pulls Santana in her lap as she tries to sit next to her.
'' God that was beautiful girls.'' Demi breaths out smiling as she sits down on the couch next to Max, Max nods his head in agreement and wraps his arms around Demi.
'' Yeah it's lovely to see the both of you with them, it looks so natural and the both of you look really content.''
Brittany smiles kissing her wife's shoulder and sighs. '' They finally started sleeping through the night, they are really calm and barely scream which we can be thankful for.''
Santana cuddles into her nodding her head in agreement and smiles. '' They are so in sync with one another and we often walk into their rooms and see them holding hands, when one cries the other starts shortly after but we see them smiling and hear them gurgling more and more everyday.'' She turns to their friends and sighs contently. '' I think that we are really lucky that they are so calm and happy all the time, we both heard stories that are really the counterpart of our boys. We love to watch both of them explore new things everyday and whenever they visit me at the bakery they smile like they won the lottery after noticing my absence for a few hours.''
'' Did you go back full time?'' Max asks curiously, Santana shakes her head and bites her lip.
'' No I hired a few other bakers and two managers to take over, I work up to five hours a day but my priority is my family. I will probably go full time when the boys are a bit older, I don't want to miss out on anything.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and bites her lip turning to look at them. '' Same goes for me, we really don't want to miss anything of them growing up so I won't be back full time for a while either. I will still write for you and record with you, but it might happen that San and the boys join us often.''
'' Girls we wouldn't have it any other way, we don't want you to miss anything big in their lives and even if it means that you won't record with us so be it. Your family is your only priority for now and we won't force you to come over and record, you are welcome any time of the day and you can call us whenever you want to spend a day with your family.'' Demi says smiling, Max nods his head in agreement and chuckles.
'' We didn't build the nursery for show you know, your boys are more than welcome to join anytime you want and San you are more than welcome too you know that. The both of you included us in your family parties and such and Britt we both don't see you as someone who works for us, you are our best friend and it's a plus that you have a gift for writing songs to help us out.''
Santana smiles sitting up looking at the time and sighs. '' Do you guys want to sleep here? The guest room is all set up, but you might wake up hearing the boys.''
Demi nods her head after exchanging a glance with Max and smiles. '' Yes we would love to stay here tonight S.''
'' Movie?'' Brittany asks chuckling, Demi nods her head jumping up and walks over to the movies they store under the TV, Santana stands up after kissing Britt softly and smiles.
'' I will make us popcorn.''
Max and Brittany both laugh as they excitedly talk about the movies they can watch and turn to look at each other, Max chuckles and pats the spot beside him. Brittany jumps up immediately walking over and drops down beside him smiling as he pulls her in a hug, she settles her head on his shoulder after kissing his cheek and smiles. '' Glad to have the both of you back in the States Max.''
'' Glad to be back B, touring was fun but knowing that our best friends and two adorable little boys were waiting here to see us cause quite a lot of homesickness.''
'' Hey don't start this cuddle party without us!'' Santana exclaims as she walks out of the kitchen holding a bowl of popcorn, Demi turns on her heels after throwing the movie in and immediately jogs to the couch plopping down in Max's lap.
'' Hey! I want some B snuggles too.''
Brittany burst out laughing and shakes her head, she pulls Santana in her lap and kisses her softly. '' God the two of you are crazy.''
'' You loooove us.'' Santana sing songs smirking, Brittany nods her head kissing her forehead as she cuddles into her and reaches out squeezing Demi's hand.
'' Yep sure do.''
'' We love you too B.'' Demi mutters smiling as she cuddles into Max, Brittany slides down the couch as Max pushes play and wraps her arms around Santana kissing her head again.
She smiles as she sighs contently and runs her fingers through her hair. '' I don't know what I did to deserve all of this but I cherish every moment I get to spend with you, our little boys, our family and friends my love. I love you Santana Lopez.''
Santana smiles leaning up looking at her as she notices their friends concentrating on the movie and kisses her softly, she leans their foreheads together gazing into the bright blue orbs she loves so much and cups her cheek. '' You deserve all of this baby and I can't thank you enough for our own little family, I love every thing we do together and every moment we have alone with our family, our friends and our little boys. You are the love of my life and it feels like the past nine years flew by in a matter of seconds, we matured a lot and grew up but we grew up together and didn't let anything separate us. You are my soulmate Brittany Lopez and I can't think of a better woman by my side. Te amo mi corazón.''
