'' Alright boys, ready for your first day?'' Brittany asks cheerfully as she walks into their kindergarten together with Santana after they dropped Val off at Demi's house.
'' No!'' Nico squeaks out wrapping his arms tightly around her legs to stop her from walking into the classroom, Brittany closes her eyes hearing Alex's protest and runs a hand through Nico's hair.
Santana sighs softly and crouches down pulling both boys in her arms knowing her wife struggles just as much, she cups their cheeks and kisses their foreheads. '' Mijos, look at me.'' She runs her thumb down their cheeks as they both look at her with tears in her eyes and smiles. '' Remember what mommy and I told you yesterday?''
Alex nods his head and pouts. '' But we are going to miss you and Val.''
Brittany crouches down wiping away their tears and smiles. '' We will be right here when you are done and we can't hear about your first day happy.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and kisses their foreheads. '' I can't wait to hang the picture the both of you will draw up on our fridge.''
'' Really?'' Nico asks smiling, Brittany nods her head and ruffles their hairs.
'' Yeah, why do you think we moved some of the other pictures around so we had more room?''
Alex turns to his brother and smiles. '' Ready Hermano?'' Nico nods his head smiling brightly and tackles his mother in a hug.
'' Te amo mommy!''
Brittany smiles hugging him close and kisses his head smelling his hair. '' I love you too, smiley.'' She pulls back kissing his cheek and smiles as the boys switch places, she hugs Alex close and rubs his back. '' Love you Happy, have fun okay?''
Alex nods his head and kisses her cheek. '' Love you too mommy.''
Brittany stands up intertwining her hand with San's and takes Nico's hand as he slides beside her, they lead them to their classes smiling as Miss Davis calls the boys over and leans against the doorpost as the boys run to her after they both nodded their heads.
Santana sighs softly as they take their seats next to each other after they greeted Miss Davis and squeezes her wife's hand as she hears her sniffle softly.
'' Alright boys, say see you later to your mommies.''
'' See you later mommy!''
'' See you later mami!'' Both boys squeak out smiling brightly, Brittany smiles pushing back her tears and waves.
'' See you later boys.''
Santana turns on her heels pulling Brittany with her and walks out of the building, she walks to their cars slipping her hand in her wife's back pocket of her skinny jeans and pulls out her keys.
She unlocks the car opening the passenger door for her and pecks her on the lips. '' I will drive babe.''
She closes the door as she nods her head wiping under her eyes and quickly pulls out her phone sending Quinn a text as she walks around the car.
Hey we will be a bit later hope it's no problem for D, Britt takes it quite hard and we just need some time.
She slides in the drivers seat and looks down at her phone as it buzzes, she smiles as Quinn just writes that they can take as long as they need and starts the car.
She reaches out intertwining her hand with Britt's on the gear stick as she sniffles softly and drives down the road.
'' God I am such a wuss.'' Brittany mumbles tearfully while wiping away her tears, Santana shakes her head taking a left turn and glances at her.
'' No you are a mother, this has nothing to do with being a wuss. We both knew that we would take it harder than they do baby, I am just glad that they both have each other in class and on the playground.''
She parks the car in their spot near the hollywood sign they found during driving around when B was pregnant with the boys and turns the motor off, she jumps out of the car jogging around it and holds out her hand. '' C'mere.''
She helps Brittany out of the car as soon as she took her hand and walks to the hood of the car, she climbs on top of it and pulls Brittany into her arms rubbing her back as she buries her face in her neck. '' Our boys will be more than okay mi amor and we can talk all about their first day in a few hours.''
'' They are growing up so fast.'' Brittany mumbles her lips pressed against San's neck, she sniffles softly and wraps her arms around her wife's waist. '' It doesn't feel like five years ago that I found out we were expecting twins.''
'' They are growing up into adorable young boys mi amor, we did good.'' Santana mutters running her hand down her back, she pulls her closer and kisses her head. '' They are enjoying to explore everything new that comes into their life and kindergarten is a part of that, we will be excited to hear all about their day and will love to cuddle up with them on the couch hearing them gush about their first day and all days after that.''
'' I know.'' Brittany mumbles softly, she pulls back sighing and wipes away her tears. '' God I hate crying, I know that they love the new changes into their lives and that they will love their kindergarten hell we spend the last two years making pro and contra lists for every school in our area.''
'' And we found the best one for them and for Val later, Miss Davis is the nicest teacher we met and she will make sure our boys will enjoy every day they spend in their class.'' Santana cups Britt's cheek wiping away her tears and pecks her on the lips. '' The boys will also love that they offer classes that match their interests, Alex will love the music class and Nico will fall in love with the sports they offer.''
'' It's also a plus that it's only five minutes away from D's house and from your shop, we can both visit the boys if we want to.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles slightly. '' Yeah I already told everyone at work that it could happen that I leave during the day to visit the boys, they understand it and Liz and Bren will kick me out of the shop if they need to so I can spend my break with them.''
'' Speaking of work, when do you want to go back?'' Brittany asks softly knowing her wife took a year long break to spend time with their family, Santana shrugs her shoulders and smiles slightly.
'' Maybe in a few months, I love our family time and I know you picked up your work again so I will love some mami, daughter time with Val when you are at work and the boys are in kindergarten.''
'' That won't be a problem for you?''
Santana smiles slightly and shakes her head. '' That is a big plus of being my own boss, Bren and Liz are more than capable of running the shops and there is so much to do at the moment that I just reached the top three with all shops.''
'' You serious?'' Brittany asks shocked pulling back to look at her, Santana bites her lip and nods her head smiling slightly.
'' Yeah found it out yesterday, I only need to go in tomorrow because someone from the James Beard Foundation is coming by.''
'' For real?!''
Santana chuckles as she hears the excitement in her wife's voice and nods her head. '' Yeah someone gave us up, so Bren, Liz and I will bake some goods for them.''
'' You will win this baby.''
'' We will see about that, mi amor.''
Brittany shakes her head and cups San's cheek smiling lovingly. '' Baby your shops are the best in and around LA, if they don't recognize that they are blind and have no taste at all! All of your products are made with so much love that you can taste it, every wedding season your shops are loaded with orders because people recognize the talent everyone you hired has and they love everything you make.'' She pulls back smiling slightly and shrugs. '' I am glad they finally decided to visit you after I emailed them every year to give you a chance.''
'' You did what?!''
Brittany chuckles and shrugs her shoulders. '' I wrote them an email every year and this year I walked around all of your shops and send them a video, Bren and Liz even let me interview them and talked about you as their boss but also as their friend.''
'' You did not.''
'' I did and I would do it again, seriously babe you are so fucking talented and it's time that people recognize it and you get awarded for that. Your shops are one of a kind and just look at the sale increase you make every year, you earn more every year and get new costumers every day.'' She kisses her softly and shrugs. '' Now that you also started to offer lunches in your very first shop near UCLA the students come by almost every day to try everything you offer, Bren and Liz showed me some of your reviews and all of them are five plus stars and long texts on how amazing everything tastes and how awesome and homely the atmosphere of your shops are babe.''
'' I was thinking about offering deliveries during a few days during the week when the kids are a bit older, there are some big firms that call and ask if delivery is possible and are sad when we announce that we don't offer delivery.'' Santana mumbles shrugging.
'' Why don't you do that now babe?''
Santana sighs and runs her hand through her hair. '' Because that means that I will be at work more and I don't want work to come in between us again.''
Brittany bites her lip tilting her head and smiles slightly. '' Well you want to do that a few days a week right?'' She shrugs her shoulders as Santana slowly nods her head and takes her hands in her own. '' Why not start out with Monday and Wednesday? Those are the busiest days of your shop and the kids boys have piano rehearsal and little league training till five thirty.''
'' What about Val?'' Santana mumbles frowning, Brittany smiles and pulls her closer cupping her cheek.
'' Val and I will spend some mommy, daughter time and as soon as you come home she will love mami's bedtime story time.''
'' Are you sure?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles. '' I am, I also wanted to speak to you about maybe opening a job offer I got a few days ago.''
'' What offer?''
'' I got a call from Zoom recording studios, they offered me a job to write songs for different stars Demi included mostly from home.''
'' Are you serious?!''
'' Yeah apparently, Beyonce, Ariana and a few movie directors requested me to write songs for them and to search for the perfect voice that will fit the songs.''
'' No way.'' Santana exclaims shocked smiling proudly, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and chuckles.
'' Demi knew about the offer even before they called me and told me to take it, but you know that I won't accept anything before talking about it with you.''
'' And it will be from home? Don't you need to be there to record it?''
'' No that is the best thing about the offer, it will really be mostly from home and they only need me in the studio once so I can record the melody to it. The rest of it will be finished by the sound manager and the singer, Demi also offered me her studio to write and produce if I don't want to do it at home.''
Santana smiles proudly covering Britt's hands with her own and squeezes them softly, she locks eyes on the bright blue orbs she loves so much and raises an eyebrow. '' Is this something you dreamed of babe?''
Brittany bites her lip and softly nods her head. '' I love songwriting and I am sure I can create some songs for anyone, D will still be my main focus but it would be pretty damn awesome to hear a song I wrote in a movie.''
'' Than take the offer baby, don't think about the money aspect for once. We are pretty much settled and aren't poor, we can offer our kids a good college education and if this makes you happy than please say yes.''
Brittany smiles nervously and runs her piercing over her lip. '' Babe when I take the offer, I will be listed as one of the best songwriters in and out of LA. The money aspect is not something I am worried about, because they offered me much more than D pays me at the moment and if the song is a hit I will also earn forty percent of every album sold. Same goes for movies and commercials if the songs are used.''
'' So you will earn much more and your status will change immediately?''
Brittany nods her head and sighs. '' Yeah and that makes me nervous, I don't know if I want to make our kids adjust to that.''
'' Well you won't be photographed every time you leave the house like they do with D babe, you might have to do an interview once in a while and attend to a show but that is something we can easily adjust to because you sometimes join D to an award show or to an interview.''
'' So you are saying that I can take the offer?''
Santana shakes her head and smiles lovingly. '' No, I am saying to do whatever your heart says mi amor.''
