Answer to your reviews: First of all thank you all for reading and reviewing this story, every comment I read makes my day.
Mariana Costa just to answer your question, I won't add Demi's break up to this story. I liked her being together with Max and in this story they will continue their relationship, I just don't feel like breaking them up but maybe I will add some trouble in future chapters.
Also I know that this story already has a lot of chapters but I don't see an end yet, sure there will be a lot of time jumps from now on but I hope you will still like it.
Brittany reaches down and quickly scoops Nico up in her arms, she kisses his head tears dripping down her cheeks and smiles as she watches her wife walking across the kitchen meeting Alex halfway.
She looks down at Nico as she feels him pat her cheek and kisses his fingers. '' I love you smiley.'' She smiles lovingly as he looks up at her with a bright toothless smile and leans against the kitchen counter, she smiles as her wife joins her and moves Nico on her hip pulling her in front of her.
Santana turns her head burying her face in her neck and releases a shaky breath. '' Did you expect that?'' She asks softly, Brittany shakes her head kissing her forehead and runs her free hand through Alex's blonde locks.
'' No not at all.''
She turns to their parents and bites her lip. '' Did you all feel like this too?''
'' Like nothing could break the happiness you feel at the moment?'' Mario asks knowingly.
'' Shocked but also over the moon because they know who you are?'' Susan asks smiling lovingly.
'' Yes to both.'' Brittany mumbles looking down at their boys, Maribel watches them and wipes away her tears nodding her head.
'' Yes I think we all felt like that, hearing them call us mami or dad was the best feeling in the world.''
'' Well until they are teenagers, when they were cute and drawled out mami or dad we knew they wanted something.'' Mario adds chuckling
'' Hey! That is not true!'' Naya calls out laughing, Maribel turns to her and raises an eyebrow smirking.
'' Right and how sweet were you when you wanted a car?''
Santana snickers as she watches her sister blush and kisses Alex's head. '' Te amo happy.'' She turns to Nico and kisses his nose smiling as he smiles brightly. '' Te amo smiley.''
'' How did you girls come up with those nicknames?'' Maria asks smiling, Santana turns to look at her and smiles.
'' Well Alex is always giggling and always happy even if he wakes up early in the morning, so B started calling him Happy and Nico always smiles brightly when we talk to him or when he sees something that fascinates him so she dubbed him Smiley.''
'' The names just fit them.'' Brittany mutters as she looks down at their boys with a loving smile, she laughs as she hears their stomach grumble and smiles sheepishly as hers follow shortly after. '' Let's get you fed my loves.''
She kisses Santana's temple smiling as she pulls back and walks over to the table smiling as she sees the boys favorite breakfast on the table, she laughs as Nico immediately squeals and puts him in his high chair kissing his head. '' Mh Abuela and grandma made banana toast.''
She slices up their toast and puts the plate on their table, she grabs a few strawberries and slices them in pieces for them to grab and snack on. Santana walks over with two sippy cups filled with milk and places them in front of their sons, she kisses their heads smiling as they munch on a strawberry and sighs softly smelling their hairs.
Brittany sits down beside them smiling as they both drink out of their cups and thanks her mother as she places coffee in front of her and Santana, Maria watches them and smiles. '' Motherhood really fits the both of you, the both of you are glowing and look really happy.''
Santana intertwines her hand with Brittany's taking a sip of her coffee and smiles. '' We are really happy Sobrina.''
Diego slides the plate with pancakes towards them and smiles. '' Eat Tia Sanny and Tia Britty, we heard your tummy grumbling over here.''
Brittany laughs stacking three pancakes on her plates and blows him a kiss. '' Thank you buddy.'' She stacks three pancakes on her wife's plate smiling as she thanks her softly and squeezes her hand, she turns to look at her boys and laughs as she sees the bit of syrup they put on their plates smeared all over their faces. '' Yeah good call for pictures before breakfast babe.''
Santana laughs watching the boys happily munch on their toasts and shrugs. '' Thank god for those bibs, we need to change them after they ate their cake though.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and smiles taking a sip of her coffee, she stands up as she sees that the boys finished and wets a paper towel. She walks over to them wiping their faces and leans back as they both try to reach for her laughing, she shakes her head taking Nico's hands and quickly wipes the syrup off. '' Oh no, don't touch mommy with sticky fingers.''
'' Mommmm!'' Nico hums out smiling brightly, Brittany smiles and leans down kissing their heads.
'' You can walk around in a few minutes Smiley, first we need to clean the both of you up a bit.''
She takes Alex's hands cleaning them with the towel and smiles as he giggles loudly, she picks the both of them up after making sure she wiped everything off and takes off their bibs. She places them on the ground and kisses their heads. '' Go walk around boys, we will open gifts soon.''
She stands back up smiling as they immediately walk towards their grandparents and sits back down next to her wife, she kisses her temple and smiles brightly as she watches Liv and Diego immediately slide off of their chair.
'' Aunt B, can we play?'' Liv asks smiling brightly, Brittany smiles and nods her head to the living room.
'' Of course you can princess, you know where the toys are right?'' She smiles again as Liv nods her head taking Alex's hand and smiles as Diego follows her out of the kitchen with Nico holding onto his hand.
'' They are really good with them, when will they get a sibling?'' Alma asks bluntly turning to Puck, Mateo, Marley and Maria, Brittany covers her mouth almost spitting out her coffee and laughs loudly as she sees their faces.
Santana snickers turning her head to hide her face in Britt's shoulder and shakes her head as she feels her shake with laughter.
'' We um..'' Puck stammers rubbing the back of his head, Marley gulps and smiles slightly.
'' She just turned three, we want to wait a bit more before adding another little Puckerman.''
Maria chuckles patting her husbands back as he coughs up his coffee and shakes her head. '' We never discussed it Abuela, D just turned eight and we think one is enough for us.''
'' What about the two of you? You thinking about expending your family?'' Maria asks turning to her niece and the laughing blonde beside her, Santana raises an eyebrow looking up at her wife and sees her already smiling slightly.
'' We do want to try one more time but for now we want to enjoy our boys.'' She says shrugging smiling as she hears the kids giggling and squealing in the living room, Brittany nods her head in agreement kissing San's head and shrugs as she sees shocked faces all around them.
'' Why so shocked?''
'' I remember you saying, never again right after you gave birth B.'' Demi says chuckling as she cuddles into Max, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and laughs.
'' Yeah because I was in a lot of pain but now watching them grow up and experiencing motherhood with them, made the both of us talk more about kids and we do want one more.''
'' What if one, becomes two again?'' Heather asks her sister raising an eyebrow, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and smirks.
'' Then we will hope that you all still offer your babysit skills.'' She chuckles as they all laugh and sighs softly. '' But all jokes aside, if it turns out that one of us is carrying twins again we will love them none the less.''
'' One of you? Santanita, are you open for carrying too?'' Alma asks shocked, Santana bites her lip slowly nodding her head and chuckles.
'' I honestly thought I would be the only one to carry our children after Britt told us in high school that she could never imagine carrying kids, but well time really made her wiser.'' She jumps up dodging her wife's pinch and sticks her tongue out as she rolls her eyes grumpily and winks. '' Joking babe, you know that I loved watching you carry our boys and I would love it too if you carry again.''
Brittany smiles pulling her in her lap and kisses her temple. '' Only time will tell my love, but for now we will enjoy watching our little boys grow up.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and cuddles into her, Maria tilts her head and raises an eyebrow. '' Something is different between the two of you.''
'' What do you mean?'' Brittany asks confused, Maria shrugs and bites her lip.
'' The both of you are so calm and loving, I know you always were but the both of you give off another vibe which I can't really place.''
Santana bites her lip tensing and kisses her wife's shoulder softly. '' We had a fight a few days back which was kinda bad, but we talked and made up a three days later we try to talk and make more time for us now.''
'' What happened?'' Alma asks frowning, Brittany sighs as she watches their parents, sisters and friends all bite their lips and shrugs kissing her wife's head.
'' I think the best way to put it is pent up frustration from the last two months, our boys had a fever which powered the both of us out because we barely slept and that combined with the both of us working and barely spending time together just made the frustration worse.'' She runs her hand up Santana's back and sighs. '' It kinda exploded when we finally had a day for us but San got called into an emergency at work, I reacted kinda offhandedly and send her off without a word and well when she came back the arguments started.''
Santana sighs running her hand through her hair and shrugs. '' We both forgot about us along the way and focused on our boys and jobs, yes we know you all warned us for that but it's hard to find a way to juggle everything. But now after we talked we set up a plan and I reduced my hours again, B decided on working from home more too and we will take a vacation starting tomorrow to just spend some time as a family.''
'' It is good that the both of you decided on working together on your relationship, a lot of relationships suffer under the pressure of career and raising children.'' Alma says smiling slightly.
'' Yeah and that is exactly that what opened the both of our eyes.'' Brittany mumbles sighing softly. '' We never let our relationship suffer under the pressure of college and growing up and we sure as hell won't let it suffer now that we have our boys, we have our own little family now and I won't let any pressure put a strain on our relationship.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles kissing her wife's cheek. '' Every discussion makes our relationship stronger and we learn from our mistakes, we will make sure that we have time for us now too and after we had our vacation we will start decorating our house. After that stressful time is over we can enjoy our lives together in our new home and the boys will have more space to play, we will set up a family room where we can pull back if we need some time alone together when the boys are asleep.''
'' New home?'' Alma and Maria ask curiously, Brittany chuckles and nods her head.
'' Yeah we bought a house not far away from Dem's mansion, it's an amazing child friendly neighborhood with good schools and kindergartens in the area. We both fell in love with the house and put in our offer, we saved up a lot of money and we are financially set to take this step.''
'' Well I have no doubts that the both of you are financially set after reading that San's bakery is in the top three of LA and judging Demi's and Max's songs your writing is amazing too.'' Maria says smiling proudly, Demi nods her head in agreement and chuckles.
'' She already had several payment raises because we just feel like she deserves it, every song she sends us is a top five hit and I am sure more will follow. We also don't mind her working from home and only joining us in the studio to record songs, family is more important and we both saw the strain on their relationship the past few months.''
Brittany sighs softly and clears her throat. '' Alright topic change, it's our boys birthday so only happy conversations please.''
'' Gift time?'' Naya asks smiling, Brittany turns to her smiling gratefully and nods her head.
'' Yeah good idea.''
She stands up as her wife slides off of her lap and intertwines their hands, she watches their family walk out of the kitchen and pulls her back before she can follow them. She cups her cheek leaning their foreheads together and smiles lovingly. '' I love you.''
Santana smiles wrapping her arms around her shoulders and kisses her softly. '' I love you too, Britt-Britt.''
Brittany smiles and slowly pulls back. '' Come on, it's time for our boys to open their gifts.'' She wraps an arm around her waist leading her into the living room and chuckles as both boys immediately squeal crawling over to her, they both lean down and pick them up. '' Time to open your gifts Happy.'' She mumbles lovingly kissing his forehead smiling as Alex giggles loudly, she walks over to the couch sitting down with him in her lap and smiles as Maria immediately holds out a small wrapped gift for both boys.
She helps him unwrapping the gift and laughs as he plays with the bow ties which was wrapped around the gift, she holds the book up for him and kisses his head. '' This book make sure you will hear more stories before bed baby boy.'' She looks up at Maria and smiles. '' Thank you.''
Susan sits down in front of the boys with everyone of their LA clan after kissing their heads and smiles. '' We didn't know what to give them because they already have quite a lot of toys but, after hearing that the both of you wanted to buy a house we had the perfect idea.''
Brad nods his head holding out his phone for the girls and smiles. '' This one is from all of us.''
Santana takes his phone leaning against her wife and they both gasp in shock as they see the tree house play set with two slides and two swings, Maribel smiles and kisses the boys heads as they squeal loudly while tapping the phone. '' They will have a lot of fun with it growing up, we made sure there is two of everything so they can both do the same and enjoy it together.''
'' Guys this is…'' Naya leans over covering Britt's mouth and shakes her head smiling.
'' No this is not too much, this is from the LA clan and from Abuela. The boys will have fun with it until they become teens, this is from us for my nephews so no taking back.''
Brittany smiles and reaches out pulling her in a hug, she kisses her cheek and sighs softly. '' Thank you.'' She looks over her shoulder looking at everyone sitting around them and smiles. '' All of you.''
'' We love you B.'' Max says smiling, Santana smiles standing up after placing Nico in her sisters arms and hugs them.
'' We love you too, thank you so much.''
Brittany smiles pulling back and softly tickles Alex's tummy smiling as he giggles loudly, she kisses his head and looks at the group. '' Can we move this outside?''
Brad nods his head knowing they both placed their gift in the backyard and stands up, Brittany stands up adjusting her hold on Alex and pulls her dress down making sure it is in place. Santana chuckles running her hand down her back to get rid off the wrinkles and kisses her shoulder. '' I really love you in this dress mi amor.''
Brittany looks over her shoulder as they follow their family outside and winks. '' You might see me in more dresses from now on babe.''
She places Alex down as soon as they walk out of the door and crouches down next to him kissing his head, she points to the two wrapped gifts and smiles. '' Go ahead baby boy.''
She stands back up smiling as both boys slowly waddle over and smiles lovingly as the tear off the wrapping paper, she wraps an arm around Santana's waist from behind making sure not to bother her filming their boys and kisses her shoulder.
She chuckles affectionately as they both squeal loudly as soon as they see the neon blue tricycle, she walks over to them and crouches down. '' Now you don't have to try to climb out of your stroller.''
She picks the both of them up placing them on their separate tricycles and smiles as they both kick out their legs giggling loudly, she places their feet on the pedals glancing at her wife as she joins them and kisses Nico's head. '' We will practice a lot during our vacation smiley, when we get back we can start jogging through the park together.''
She chuckles as he squeals loudly babbling with Alex and takes a hold of the handle, she slowly pushes him forward after making sure she buckled them in and smiles lovingly as they both start clapping their hands.
'' No!'' Alex squeals out giggling loudly, Santana laughs and leans down kissing his head as she slowly pushes him through the garden.
'' I think you mean yes, mijo.''
'' No!'' He squeals out again smiling brightly, Nico looks up at his mother and smiles brightly lifting his arms as he squeals.
Brittany stops pushing him and leans down picking him up, she smiles lovingly as he cuddles into her grasping her necklace and turns to their family. She leans over kissing Alex's head as Santana steps up next to her and kisses her forehead as she sees their boys birthday cake on the table. '' Cake before nap?'' She asks softly, Santana nods her head walking over to their family and rocks Alex as he wildly babbles moving his hands quickly.
'' Whoa you really outdid yourself my love.'' Brittany mutters shocked as they stop in front of the table looking at the mickey mouse cake with their boys name and a big one written in glazing.
'' Everything for our little boys.'' Santana mumbles smiling lovingly, Brittany smiles catching the lighter Puck throws to her and places Nico in his high chair. She walks over to the cake lightning the candles and carries it over to their boys, she places it in front of them grabbing Nico's hand as he tries to reach for the candles and shakes her head kissing his fingers as he pouts. '' Don't try to touch it smiley.''
Santana smiles sliding behind the boys chairs kissing their heads and intertwines her hands with her wife as she joins her, she leans down smiling as she sees them watching the cake with a big smile and licks her lips.
Cumpleaños feliz
cumpleaños feliz
Brittany smiles squeezing her hand softly as she hears the Lopez family join in and locks eyes with their friends and family.
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You
They both smile as the boys look up at them giggling loudly and lean down kissing their foreheads.
Happy Birthday Dear Nico and Alex
Happy Birthday to You.
Santana runs a hand through their hairs and glances at her wife, they both lean forward after Brittany nodded her head and helps them blowing out their candles. Santana takes the candles out of the cake as Brittany takes the server and hands her the plates, Brittany turns back to the boys after placing a slice on two plates and places it in front of them.
She laughs as they both immediately slam their little hands into the slice and shakes her head kissing their heads. '' Happy birthday, my loves.''
Santana chuckles as she sees them smearing the cake all over their faces only a little really entering their mouths and bops their noses. '' Happy birthday mijos, te amo.''
'' God they are so cute together.'' Heather says softly after setting up her camera to take some shots when she pushes the button of the remote control in her hand and takes a bite of her cake, Naya nods her head in agreement and smiles watching the boys enjoy their cakes.
'' Yeah they really are babe.''
Brittany takes a small bite of her cake humming at the rich vanilla taste and turns to her wife smiling lovingly. '' The cake is perfect babe.''
Santana smiles kissing her softly and pulls out of the kiss as she hears two loud squeals, they both look down at their boys and smile as they both hold out their hand with a piece of cake. They both lean down after exchanging a glance and open their mouth, Brittany laughs as Nico smears his hand on her face and crunches up her face as their family burst out laughing.
She shakes her head as she sees Santana with cake streaks down her cheek and chuckles. '' Yeah they really have our mischievousness babe.''
Santana chuckles wiping her cheek and bops her finger topped with whipped cream on Alex's nose laughing as he crosses his eyes to look at it, Brittany smears her finger with a bit of glazing down Nico's cheek and smirks as he giggles loudly kicking his legs out.
She leans down kissing his cheek and shakes her head as she feels him stick. '' You are kinda sticky, Smiley.''
Nico smiles brightly raising his arms and looks up at her with bright blue eyes, Brittany sighs softly as she sees his puppy dog eyes and kisses his head. '' Thank god for washing machines huh.'' She mutters softly as she picks him up feeling his hands on her dress, she kisses his head as he cuddles into her and smiles. '' We are in a lot of trouble as soon as the two of you know how to use the pout and puppy dog eyes.''
'' Girls please put your clothes in the washing machine after you laid them down for a nap.'' Maribel says as she watches Santana pick Alex up, Brittany looks up nodding her head and chuckles.
'' We will mama Lo.''
She turns Nico around in her arms blowing a raspberry on his cheek and chuckles as he kicks out his legs giggling loudly while squirming in her arms, she glances at her wife as she hears Alex squeal and chuckles as she sees her tickling him.
'' Hey girls?!'' Heather calls out pushing the button of the remote control in their hands as they look up, she smirks and shrugs as they raise an eyebrow.
'' Sorry the lightning was perfect and I just wanted to capture the happiness in your eyes.''
'' Can you send me the pictures?'' Santana asks smiling, Brittany nods her head in agreement and chuckles.
'' Yes to me too please.''
Heather laughs and nods her head. '' I will.''
Brittany smiles thankfully and looks down at Nico as she feels a sticky hand slapping her cheek, she kisses his forehead lovingly and smiles as he yawns. '' Nap time Smiley.'' She turns him back around in her arms and turns to look at her wife. '' Wipe them off or give them a quick bath?''
'' A quick bath, they are too sticky.'' Santana mutters grimacing as she feels Alex's sticky hands sliding down her face, Brittany chuckles nodding her head in agreement and runs her hands through Nico's hair.
'' We will give them a quick bath.'' She mumbles looking at their family, she walks into the house as they nod their heads kissing the boys heads and walks up the stairs. She walks into the bathroom placing Nico down and quickly turns the water on adjusting the temperature, she crouches down in front of him and smiles as he immediately raises his arms as she tucks on the hem of his shirt.
Santana walks in shortly after with Alex in his arms and places him down also quickly undressing him, she picks both boys up placing them in the tub and chuckles as they both immediately squeal hitting the water with bright smiles.
Brittany slips out of the bathroom knowing her wife can handle the both of them and walks into their room grabbing a change of clothes for them, she walks back into the bathroom laughing as she sees both boys looking up at them with a foamy beard and shakes her head. '' Babe where are our sons? I only see two Santa clauses.''
She looks around smiling as the boys giggle loudly and winks as both boys immediately wipe a hand down their faces removing the beards. '' Ah there are our handsome little boys.''
She takes off her dress quickly slipping on a pair of sweatpants and walks over to her wife leaning down to kiss her head clad in only her bra and the sweatpants. '' I will take over babe, change into something comfortable.''
She crouches down in front of the bath as she nods her head standing up and runs her hands through their boys hairs smiling as they yawn, she picks them up after rinsing them off and places them on the big towel she laid out for them. She helps them into their little robes rubbing her hands down their backs as she feels them shiver and pulls them in her arms smiling as they immediately cuddle into her yawning, she slowly stands up walking into the room and places them down on the bed.
She tucks them in after dressing them in a Cars onesie and kisses their heads again, she looks up as her wife walks in and smiles as she joins her by their boys side. Santana leans down kissing their foreheads and smiles lovingly as Nico reaches up pulling on her bottom lip, she kisses his fingers and sits down on the edge of the bed intertwining her hand with Britt's. '' Lullaby?'' She asks softly as both boys look at them eyes slowly drooping, Brittany smiles running her hand down their tummies and licks her bottom lip.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Santana smiles lovingly as she hears her wife's soothing voice and watches their boys trying to keep their eyes open, she runs a hand down their legs and squeezes Britt's hand softly as she joins in.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
'' Whoa they never fell asleep so quickly.'' Brittany mumbles as she watches both boys quit trying to keep their eyes open, Santana smiles leaning down to kiss their foreheads and tucks them back in turning to look at Brittany.
'' They had quite a lot of new things today, I think we powered them out.''
Brittany slowly stands up and nods her head, she leans down kissing their foreheads and smiles as she watches their clasp hands in between them. '' Sleep tight my loves.''
'' Te amo mijos.'' Santana mutters softly as she follows her wife out of the room, Brittany slowly closes the door and slips on her shirt.
Santana pulls her back before she can walk down the stairs and wraps her arms around her waist, Brittany smiles kissing her temple and wraps her arms around her shoulders sighing into the hug.
'' I know that you are still thinking about our fight so please stop it, we were both wrong San and we made up we just have to try and change everything we agreed on.'' She mumbles softly running her fingers down the back of her neck, Santana nods her head sighing softly and looks up at her.
'' And we will change it mi amor, I cut back on my hours again and offered Liz and Bren another contract and a schooling to become pastry bakers.''
'' Did they accept it?'' Brittany asks smiling slightly, Santana nods her head and smiles.
'' Yeah they both loved the idea and they will take over a lot of things I do, they work with me since the beginning so they know what to do and how to do it. They also understand why I cut back on my hours again and almost kicked my ass after we talked about it during a whole shift, Bren will take over the shop near LAX for now and Liz will take the one near the park.''
'' What is with your first shop near UCLA?''
'' Kevin runs it, I told them that I will only work up to twenty hours the week for now and will split in between the shops.''
'' I told D and Max that I will write from home and only join them for recording songs, we both started working too much too soon and it caused a bit of trouble for us but now that we know we can change it.''
Santana nods her head in agreement and leans up on her tiptoes capturing her lips in a loving kiss. '' We sure will mi amor and I can't wait to spend the next week in nature with you and our boys, I am sure we will love the with our family.''
'' Oh yeah we will and the boys will enjoy getting pushed around in their tricycles, hopefully they won't try to climb out of that.'' Brittany mumbles leading her down the stairs, Santana chuckles and nods her head.
'' Yeah I hope so too baby.''
