Hi everyone! I am so sorry for not updating. Since my country is in a lockdown and the holidays are over I will be updating more. With that being said have fun reading!
Brittany's mother has been so busy lately. And Brittany had no idea with what. Every time she would ask what she was up to she got the same answer: It's nothing special.
It was eating Brittany up. She felt a bit left out. I mean of course she left the decision with her mom but she didn't even babysat Isabella at home anymore she always took her with her.
But that wasn't the only person Brittany felt left out with it was Quinn as well. Santana of course talked to Rachel about it but it never helped she always took Quinn with her. Quinn said she wanted to help Brittany out but the only one that she felt was actually doing that was her girlfriend and no one else.
The issue with her mother became soon more clear though.
Brittany was upstairs after school taking a nap while Santana was downstairs watching a movie with Isabella. Santana knew her girlfriend was feeling left out with the people around her so she wanted to at least try and help out.
''Hey Izzy, did you have a good time with you're nana today?'' Santana asked the child who was cuddled into her side with her thumb in her mouth. Santana decided that she could try and get some information out of the kid since they miss a filter sometimes.
Isabella looked up at her and nodded her head but she didn't take her thumb out to entranced with the Frozen movie they were watching.
Santana decided to pause the movie to get a prober conversation with the little girl and asking her where she went but pausing the movie made Isabella very cranky.
When they got home they took over Isabella from Susan who left in a hurry but told them that Isabella was in a bad mood all day. Brittany first wanted to stay downstairs but Santana told her she could take a nap and that she would take care of Isabella.
''Sanny bad no I watch''
''I know sweetie but I want to talk to u for a moment-'' but before she could go on Isabella decided that she didn't like the answer and made that clear by hitting her.
''Izzy no, no hitting me'' Santana sighed she was tired. Don't get her wrong she loved everybody around her so so much but it could be so stressful. She didn't have lots of time for herself lately and she hoped that she could just watch a quiet movie with Isabella but clearly Isabella wasn't in the same mood.
Isabella looked at Santana and saw that she meant it but decided not to listen and hit her again.
''Isabella Pierce stop it right now'' Santana loved the child but the stress made her very short on temper and having a cranky kid wasn't helping her especially not because she just got hit for a third time.
Santana's patience was gone and picked the kid up to place her on time out but Isabella decided not to stay and took off. She chased the little girl for half an hour but the girl just simply didn't stay.
Santana had enough and took the girl up to her room. Time out could be downstairs but if that didn't work she would put her in the room to stay there.
But by putting her in the bedroom she forgot that Brittany was down the hallway and that it could possibly wake her up which it indeed did.
When Brittany walked out of her room she heard her daughter crying in her bedroom and a destressed looking Santana standing by the door.
Santana did so many things for her and she knew that her girlfriend was stressed but never showed it. Every time she tried to offer to help her with something she would shake her head and tell her she got it and that she should take a rest. This much to Brittany's protest but this time she decided to step in and take care of the child herself.
''San, babe are you okay? What happened?''
''I'm sorry Britt did we wake you?'' Santana questioned since she knew Brittany's nap always took longer then this. Brittany nodded and looked at the room where she could clearly hear Isabella cry in.
''San, babe, I'll take care of Isabella you can go home or something if you want'' Santana head shot up she wasn't expecting to be told to go home.
''No, no I don't need to go home unless you want me too?''
''No! Of course not I didn't mean it like that. It just you are looking very stressed and maybe you wanted to go to a place a bit more quiet. But don't get me wrong I love having you here and even though Isabella isn't showing it right now she also loves having you here. Now tell me what happened''
Santana told Brittany what had happened and why the girl was in her room.
''I'm sorry that happened to you babe, mom told us she was cranky but I never expected for her to hit you.''
''It's fine Britt. If you deal with Isabella I will start making dinner. Is your mom or Thomas home tonight?''
''No it's just us''
With a confirming nod and an okay Santana made her way to the kitchen but before she even reached the stairs Brittany's hand caught hers and she was pulled in a tight hug.
Santana instantly calmed down and melted in Brittany's embrace. This hug was exactly was she needed at the moment.
Brittany kissed her on the top of her head and noticed how Santana was calming down in her arms. She wished she could take all the stress away but she was happy that she at least could calm her down a bit. She leaned down and started to quietly speak in her ear.
''Babe, it's going to be just us tonight so why don't you sit on the couch while I deal with Isabella and then we order take-out and get it delivered.''
Santana just tightened the hug and just simply nodded her head finding it a good idea. Besides, she wasn't in the mood to actually cook dinner.
''Okay so I deal with Isabella and you get your pretty butt on the couch and we will be right down.''
She let go of Santana and patted her on the butt getting her down the stairs. And with a giggle from Santana she watched her go down the stairs.
While Santana made herself comfortable on the couch with a blanket, Brittany went into Isabella's room to speak with her.
Isabella was sitting down on her playmat in the room. She wasn't crying anymore but silent tears were falling down.
Brittany kneeled down in front of her. She didn't like to see her daughter crying and so sad but she knew what she did to Santana was just simply wrong.
''Isabella, Santana put you in time out because you hit her while she just wanted to talk to you. So what are you going to say?''
''Sowwy''
''And why are you sorry''
''No hitting''
''Good now give me a hug and then I want you to apologize to Santana too because she is the one you actually hit.''
She took Isabella with her hand to the stairs and walked down.
She wanted originally for Isabella to apologize to Santana but when they were downstairs they saw Santana fast asleep on the couch. Deciding that her girlfriend could use the sleep she told her daughter to be quiet and tiptoed together to the couch.
She lifted Isabella up to sit by Santana. And Isabella resumed the position she had before the hitting started and curled up in Santana's side. Out of instinct Santana quickly put a protective arm around her.
Brittany found the sight to cute to see so she quickly went to get her phone to snap a picture of it. With her phone in her hand she took place on the other side of Santana.
Just like Santana did with Isabella, Brittany did the same thing for Santana and slid her arm around Santana and played with her daughter's hair. Santana in her turn didn't wake up from the shifting around her but just cuddled in closer to her girlfriend.
Brittany quickly put in her order for dinner to get it delivered and put the movie quietly back on for Isabella to continue watching. And for herself because she loved Disney movies.
After 15 minutes Santana started to stir and opened her eyes too notice that she had fallen asleep. Only she didn't remember having her two favorite girls on each of her sides.
''Britt?''
Brittany was too entranced in the movie just like Isabella to notice Santana actually waking up.
''Oh, hey babe did you have a good nap?"'
''I did yeah I was very comfortable'' Santana smiled with the position they all were in.
Before Brittany could answer the doorbell rang. Brittany figured it was the food that she ordered so she walked towards the door but not before stopping next to her daughter and saying.
''I'll go get the food. Isabella I think you have something to say to Santana''
With that she walked to the front door and left Santana and Isabella on the couch together.
Santana wanted to start talking but this time she figured she would wait for the little girl to see what she was going to say.
It took a while for Isabella to actually say something and came out was quiet and muffled.
''I'm sorry Isabella but I didn't hear what you just said. I need you to speak loud and clear to and I want you look at me''
With sad eyes Isabella looked at Santana. She didn't like to be scolded at especially not by her best friend.
''Sowwy'' Finally came out.
''I forgive you. But I don't want you to do that again. Hitting isn't good and that makes me sad too''
''Sowwy no hitting''
With that Santana gave her a big kiss on her forehead and a big hug which was very welcomed by Isabella who gladly returned to hug.
A moment later Brittany came in the view. She had been listening to the conversation around the corner. She waited for them to finish up because she knew this was something between them.
All three of them watched the rest of the Frozen movie while they ate their dinner.
After 2 hours Isabella was fast asleep in her room and it was time for Santana to go home. Sometimes she slept at home and today she did too. She needed to be on school a little bit early then normal because she wants to talk to Mr. Shuester so she figured she would go home instead waking everyone in this house up.
''I love you Santana thank you for tonight. Once again we loved having you here.''
''I love you too babe and I loved this night as well but tomorrow night it's the weekend so I'll be able to sleep here but my parents are also out so maybe we can try a Disney night? But I'll be picking you two up of course''
She didn't want to bring up the topic to what happened the last time they had a movie night because that was the night of the attack but she wanted to try.
Brittany was nervous when she thought back to that night and all the stuff that happened but being safe in Santana's car probably made it a whole lot better.
''Sure babe, let's do a Disney night but I do indeed would love if you could pick us up''
''Of course and maybe we can grab some dinner and dessert on the way home. It's a bit of a detour but that doesn't matter.''
''Sure, love, sounds like a plan. I'll see you tomorrow at school.''
With a kiss goodbye and a long hug they parted and Santana left to go home. And that's when her mom walked in and said they needed to talk.
The next morning…
Santana was waiting for Brittany by her locker and was excited to see her again. Yes she saw her yesterday but that was way too long if you ask her.
What she didn't expect was to see her girlfriend with a white face, bags under her eyes and red puffy eyes.
Santana hurried down the hallway to reach her girlfriend and quickly pulled her into a hug.
''Babe are you okay? What happened?
Brittany didn't answer yet she just wanted to feel her girlfriend for a moment. Since the talk with her mom she couldn't sleep and her brain kept thinking really hard. After a moment she nodded and started to speak.
''I am okay I just need to talk to Holly''
''Okay well I am coming with you''
This was something Brittany already expecting so she simply nodded her head. Besides, she needed to tell Santana anyway so better two at the same time.
They parted and Santana put a kiss on her forehead and intertwined their hands walking towards Holly's office together.
''Holy sweet cheeks! What's up''
Holly was always so cheery and fun and at this moment Brittany kind of hated it because she liked the woman so much. And she didn't want this miss this fun principal.
''Hey Holly, is it okay if I talk to you for a moment? It is something important and Santana needs to hear this too''
Holly sensed the distressed and tired looking face on Brittany and told her to come in and take a seat.
''Of course Brittany''
Brittany dreaded this moment but having to think about it the whole night this was the only option she could come up with.
''I'm sorry to say to this but I think I have to drop out of school''
Santana's head shot up. Did she hear that correctly? Her girlfriend is dropping out of school?!
''Babe, What?! What happened? Why? If this is about the baby I thought we figured that out already''
Santana quickly rambled. If this was about the baby Brittany couldn't give up that quickly without even trying.
''It is and it isn't. As you know Santana but not Holly yet my mom has been going out a lot lately and she has been very busy. Last night she came home and told me that she was building a dance studio. She knows I love dancing and wanted to keep it a surprise.''
Brittany looked at Santana who took her hand waiting for her to continue which she did.
''She wanted to keep it a surprise because I would be teaching the kids what I love to do. But when the plan was made and the building started I wasn't pregnant yet. She does have people helping her and taking over my class and I'll probably still be in the room since I do want to know the kids but I can't dance but that isn't the problem or the reason I should drop out of school.''
She sighed she loved teaching kids and dancing was so important to her but she knew this wasn't the problem after she was pregnant she could dance.
''But sensing I of course had Isabella she build a small area to have Isabella be entertained and someone can keep an eye on her. But again what we didn't expect was that I got pregnant again. With the new job my mom doesn't have time to take care of the baby. Of course I'll be at home for the first weeks but the plan was for me to be able to go to school again but since my mom can't watch the baby I will have to and I can't take it to classes with me because it will disturb the lesson.''
Brittany by now was crying. Sure sometimes like everyone else she hated school but she also kind of loved going to school and this school was actually fun and she wasn't ready to leave it.
Both Santana and Holly could understand the conflict the tall blonde was in but neither of them really liked Brittany dropping out of school.
Holly thought of an idea but it was really crazy and kind of weird but she thought that she could at least give it a shot.
''Brittany I know this sounds crazy but I might have a plan where you don't have to drop out of school but only if your open for it .''
At this moment Brittany was open for anything that could help her out from dropping out of school.
''Nothing sounds to crazy for me right now''
''Well, how about you take the baby to school with you and have it in my office, that way you don't have to take the baby with you too class, it won't disturb any people and I get some company in here. Besides, I love baby's and in between classes I'll make a note for you and maybe one for Santana that you can take a bit longer to get to class so you can check on your baby. Basically all I do is watch him/her. What do you think?''
Brittany loved the idea it was so ideal but she didn't want to burden Holly with this. Something Holly also quickly saw in her.
''And don't think that you are burdening me with this. As I said I could use some company in here and if I have a meeting day or something I'll let you know and you can have online lessons.''
Santana liked this idea too. She hated if Brittany had to leave school.
''Yeah babe, and if she has lots in the week we can switch sometimes I'll do my lessons from your home and you go to school if that okay with Holly of course''
''Of course it is Chica''
Holly winked at her. She knew how much Santana does for Brittany and she wasn't going to stand in there way besides, they were excellent students of her.
Brittany looked at the people around her and became overwhelmed with emotions. Damn pregnant hormones she thought.
She gave a teary nod and said
''I would like that very much thank you both so much''
All the three girls laughed and smiled at another.
After thanking Holly again for the millionth time Santana and Brittany stood in the hallway facing another.
Seeing that Brittany was still kind of full of emotion she gave her another hug and told her softly in her ear
''It's alright Britt. Together we will do this babe.''
Thank you all for reading! I hope you liked it!
Holly as a babysitter that she be interesting! XD
