Song: Échame La Culpa—Demi and Luis. Britt- Normal, Demi: Italic, Both: Bold
'' Mami, we watch mommy and aunt D on TV?'' Nico asks as he walks into his grandparents kitchen, Santana turns to look at him and nods her head.
'' Yeah the interview will start soon mijo, want to help making sandwiches for everyone?''
'' I help too!'' Alex squeals as he joins them in the kitchen, Santana chuckles and nods her head pulling two chairs out.
She leans down kissing both of their heads and places them on the chairs. '' Can you put two slices of bell pepper on each slice of bread?'' She turns to Nico and smiles. '' After your brother put the bell pepper on, you can top it with three cucumber slices okay?''
Both boys nod their heads smiling brightly and slowly count the slices they put on each slice, Brad walks up to his daughter in law and wraps an arm around her shoulder as she watches the boys with a proud smile. '' They are growing up so fast.''
Santana nods her head in agreement leaning into him and smiles slightly. '' Yeah they are really improving, we even started to potty train them at home but decided to keep them wearing a diaper somewhere else so they will become a bit surer in telling us first.''
'' How is that going?'' Brad asks curiously, Santana turns to him and smiles.
'' Really well both adjusted quite quickly and always yell for one of us when they have to go, but we tried it once at D's house and they were quite shy about it so we decided to do it at home first.''
'' Done mami!'' Alex says smiling brightly, Nico looks up at her after placing the last slice on the slice of bread and smiles.
'' Meat sandwich?''
Santana laughs and walks over to both boys, she ruffles their heads and glances down at Nico. '' You are really like your mommy, everything needs meat.''
Nico quickly shakes his head and giggles. ''No! Ceral needs no meat mami.''
Brad laughs and pats Santana's back as he sees her rolling her eyes. '' He got you there San.'' He leans down kissing both boys heads and smiles looking at Nico. '' You are right buddy, cereal needs no meat.''
Nico nods his head and smiles brightly. '' Mommy always tells mami that.''
'' She does?'' Brad asks amused, Santana sighs leaning over the boys to put the slices of ham and cheese on the bread slices and glances at Brad.
'' Yeah she always points that out when I tell her that she is a meat addict.''
Brad chuckles picking Alex up as he reaches for him and ruffles his hair. '' Do you like meat too bud?''
'' Te amo bacon!''
Santana laughs and shakes her head. '' You are hanging around too much with aunt Q mijo.''
'' He just knows what's good San.'' Quinn yells from the living room.
'' It's starting!'' Puck yells right after, Santana chuckles as both boys squeal and holds out four plates.
'' Want to take these plates into the living room? They are for you, Liv and aunt Q.''
She grabs four plates as she sees Brad following the boys carrying five plates and holds out a plate for Heath and Nay. '' These are for you girls and yes Nay it's without cheese.''
'' Thanks San.''
She sits down in between the boys on the ground and places her plate on the table, she ruffles their hairs as they take a big bite of their sandwich while looking at the TV and shakes her head. '' Eat slowly boys.''
'' God Demi looks beautiful, who is in charge of whatever she wears?'' Susan asks while looking at the girl easily answering Ellen's questions, Santana snickers as she hears Quinn hum in agreement and leans her head back against her dads legs looking up at Susan.
'' Normally she has someone who picks her clothes out, but this time she put B in charge so they would match a bit.''
'' Brittany picked that out?'' Susan asks shocked as she sees the long black and blue dress Demi wears, Santana nods her head and laughs.
'' Yeah seriously since B started wearing dresses her taste in clothes just got even better.''
'' What is B wearing?'' Quinn asks curiously, Santana shrugs her shoulders and sighs.
'' She told me that I will see it as soon as she joins D.'' She turns to the boys as she hears them giggle and raises an eyebrow as they quickly turn back to look at the TV. '' Do you know what your mommy is wearing boys?''
Nico turns to look at his mami and smiles. '' It's a seclet mami.''
'' Mommy is beautiul.'' Alex just says smiling brightly.
'' Your mommy is always beautiful mijo.'' Santana mumbles as she finishes her sandwich.
Alright ladies and gentleman it's time to call the mastermind behind Demi's songs on stage with her, she wrote many of Demi's top 10 hits and I am sure more will follow. Please give it up for Brittany Lopez!
Santana turns to the TV her as she hears Ellen announce her wife and her eyes widen as she walks onto stage oozing confidence wearing a short blue and black strapless dress. '' Holy…''
'' Children mija.'' Lio mumbles as he covers her mouth, he kisses her head and chuckles. '' But yeah she looks beautiful!''
'' God that little bump is so cute!'' Susan gushes watching her daughter sit down next to Demi after hugging her, Santana takes her dad's hand off of her mouth and leans back against his legs wrapping her arms around the boys as they cuddle into her side.
She smiles lovingly as her wife easily answers Ellen's questions and runs her fingers through both boys hairs as they clasp their hands on her stomach.
So Brittany you are the genius behind all Demi's songs she published in the past how many years?
Nine almost ten. Brittany answers smiling slightly, Ellen smiles and nods her head.
How do you come up with those? I find it difficult to put a few words on paper and you write whole songs.
Demi helps me writing or finishing most songs but mostly I just write whatever any of us is feeling, the last two songs were more about my family and the songs before that was of everything that happened in Dem's life the last four years.
You mean the break up? Ellen asks curiously
Yeah one song was because of the break up but Demi wrote that one herself I only joined her to sing it with her in the studio, that was also the first time Demi's fans heard me sing.
And they immediately fell in love with your voice just like the first time I heard you sing B, I am so happy that I met you so many years ago and have the honor to work with you by my side almost every day. Demi says smiling brightly.
How old are you Brittany?
Brittany chuckles running a hand through her hair and shrugs. I turned 26 seven months ago.
So you met Demi when you were seventeen? Ellen asks shocked.
She just turned eighteen just like her then girlfriend now wife, sister and sister in law, I met the four of them at my comeback concert and they were the only ones with VIP tickets. Demi answers for Brittany.
Well I gotta say, you don't look like 26 at all.
Yeah thanks to my moms genes, she doesn't look like 45 either. Brittany answers laughing
Santana laughs and reaches behind her patting Susan's leg as she chuckles. '' She is right, you all didn't alter at all the last few years.''
So Brittany there is a reason you are joining us and you are holding your first interview with me right? Brittany nods her head and sighs as Ellen continues. According to many tabloids Max Ehrich accuses you of using auto tune on every song you published with Demi in the last three years.
Well I gotta say that auto tune is a damn good program if it can make a voice sound that good, normally it makes it only a bit robotic. Demi exclaims rolling her eyes.
Yeah I am hear because a lot of Demi's fans asked if he is right and I wanted to set the record straight once and for all, yes we will perform tonight but that still doesn't mean that it will happen frequently after this interview. Brittany replies smiling slightly
Why don't you want to join the music business? You could make many pop stars run for their money.
Brittany laughs and reaches up playing with her necklace she got from her boys for her birthday. I love writing songs for Demi and I also love joining her once in a while, but song writing and joining Demi's band gives me the time to be there for my family and spend time with my wife and our sons. If I join the music industry my time will be spend on my songs and I don't want that, I can see how stressful the industry is because I work with Demi but being in the background still gives me enough time with my family.
You are married and you have children? Ellen asks shocked.
She has two adorable little boys who call me aunt and another little one on the way, her wife is an amazing baker and also one of my best friends. Demi gushes with a bright smile as a picture of her, Brittany, Santana and the boys back's show on the big screen beside Ellen's couch.
I met my wife in high school and knew from the first moment we really talked that we were soulmates, along the years we survived the struggle of college and growing up. We celebrated our tenth anniversary and fourth wedding anniversary two months ago in the Hamptons, our boys will both turn four in four months and in about five and a half months another little one will expand our family. Brittany answers smiling lovingly as she glances at the picture.
So high school sweethearts? No break in between?
No break at all.
Well damn that is not something everyone can be proud of, how is pregnancy treating your wife?
Well you gotta ask her how my hormones are at the moment. Brittany replies chuckling.
Hold up, you are pregnant?!
Brittany laughs and nods her head. Yeah four and a half months along.
Santana smiles as she watches her wife run her hand down her bump with a loving smile and turns to Puck holding up a finger. '' Yes she can handle her hormones well at the moment, no I don't want you to open your big mouth when she is around.''
Puck chuckles and raises his hand in surrender. '' Hey don't worry, believe me I learned to shut up after she threw her controller at me.''
'' No need to whine about that baby, you deserved that after telling her that she looked ready to pop any minute now when she was six months pregnant with the boys.'' Marley mumbles squeezing his hand
Do you know what you will become?
No we don't know yet and we want it to be a surprise this time, when our boys were born we let our family organize a gender reveal but this time we want it to be a surprise.
Your boys are adorable, may we know their names?
Nicolas Lio and Alexander Brad, but we call them Nico and Alex.
Ellen looks at the time and smiles. I am sorry to cut this interview short ladies and gentleman but the show is almost over and I am sure you want to hear Demi and Brittany sing their new song which will be published right after the show. She turns to the girls and smiles. It was a pleasure to have the two of you here and Brittany your are more than welcome to join Demi every time she comes to me.
Brittany stands up straightening out her dress and leans over hugging Ellen. Maybe I will, thank you Ellen.
Ellen smiles and turns to the camera after hugging Demi. Ladies and Gentleman to show us that whatever tabloid writes is a lie, Demi and Brittany will blow us away with their new Spanglish song Échame La Culpa!
'' Spanglish?'' Everyone mumbles in shock turning their heads to look at each other.
Hey Britt
Oh no (Qué pasa Demi)
Hmm
Hey yeah
Tengo en esta historia algo que confesar
Ya entendí muy bien qué fue lo que pasó
Y aunque duela tanto, tengo que aceptar
Que tú no eres la mala, que el malo soy yo
Santana's jaw drops as she hears her wife sing in Spanish and she slowly turns back to the TV watching her dance with Demi.
No me conociste nunca de verdad
Ya se fue la magia que te enamoró
Y es que no quisiera estar en tu lugar
Porque tu error solo fue conocerme
'' Damn this song is so catchy.'' Naya mumbles dancing in her seat, she turns to her sister nudging her with her foot as she sees her entranced by the performance and smirks. '' Told ya B will blow us all away and beat us speaking our own language.''
No eres tú, no eres tú, no eres tú, soy yo (soy yo)
No te quiero hacer sufrir
Es mejor olvidar y dejarlo así (así)
Échame la culpa
'' I really didn't expect this.'' Lio mumbles shocked as he watches his daughter in law and Demi dance on screen having the time of their lives when the audience all jump up cheering and dancing.
OK
I don't really, really wanna fight anymore
I don't really, really wanna fake it no more
Play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be
So come and put the blame on me, yeah
They chuckle at the, the Beatles reference knowing Demi listened a lot to it during the break up and shake their heads, Santana smiles as she watches her wife lead Demi into a dance as she cups her cheek smirking and gulps as rolls her hips to the beat.
Solamente te falta un beso
Solamente te falta un beso
Ese beso que siempre te prometí
Échame la culpa
Santana's jaw drops as Brittany ends the song with a high note and she drops her head against her dads legs. '' Well damn.''
'' Mommy is so good!'' Alex mumbles yawning slightly, Nico nods his head in agreement nuzzling his face into Santana's side and sighs contently as she rubs his back.
'' Uh-huh mommy the best.''
Santana pulls Nico in her lap knowing he is on the verge of falling asleep and smiles as her sister leans over scooping Alex up, she kisses Nico's head rubbing his back under his shirt and kisses his head as he nuzzles his face in her shoulder. '' Go to sleep mijo, I am sure your mommy would love to hear you say that in person tomorrow morning.''
'' We sleep here?'' Alex mumbles tiredly as he cuddles into Naya, Santana nods her head and smiles.
'' Yes mommy and aunt Demi are coming here too, we will have a family Christmas shopping day tomorrow.''
'' Mommy and aunt D not here on Christmas.'' Nico mumbles slurring, Santana shakes her head and runs her hand through his hair.
'' They will be here on Christmas mijo, they will be gone for a few hours the day after Christmas but at night mommy will be at home with us.''
'' Promise?''
'' I promise.'' Santana replies as she watches both boys eyes slip close, Heather stands up slowly taking Nico from her and kisses San's cheek.
'' We will tuck them in San.'' Santana nods her head watching them walk out of the room and runs her hands through her hair looking at the black screen of the TV.
'' Okay am I the only one really shocked that B can sing so perfect in Spanish? I remember a certain assignment from Mr Schue where she told us that she sucks at learning languages.'' Quinn exclaims as soon as Marley walked out of the room to tuck Liv in.
'' She learned it more before she met Maria and Mateo, I think Demi still teaches her the language sometimes so she can surprise us like today.'' Susan mumbles smiling proudly.
'' That was just amazing.'' Santana breaths out smiling proudly.
'' She looked really happy up there but you saw her relax even more the second she began singing, she did this interview to prove her point but I am sure she will be happy as soon as she gets home and relax.'' Brad mumbles chuckling.
'' Yeah she was nervous as fuck but the questions about her singing ability made her do this interview, I am sure she will still join Demi for some songs but she is more than happy to stay in her shadow.'' Lio continues smiling slightly.
'' Our family will always come first for the both of us, I don't plan on opening another shop but will work from home for a bit.''
'' How do you want to do that?'' Naya asks curiously.
Santana smiles slightly and shrugs. '' I re-activated the website B made and will take orders online from customers, Bren and Liz will deliver and I will bake everything in the kitchen we build up in our pool house so the smell doesn't bother Britt.''
'' So you are home more?'' Heather asks smiling, Santana nods her head and sighs.
'' Yeah we all know how much struggle we had with both boys and our jobs, we both saved a lot of money the past few years and with us both working from home we will have enough time for our family too.''
'' That sounds perfect mija.'' Maribel mumbles smiling as she leans down kissing her head, Santana sighs softly and smiles.
'' We both don't want the same fights we had when the boys were just born, we both promised to ignore work for the first six months and will slowly start working from home after those six months.''
'' What about your shops?'' Lio asks curiously.
'' Bren and Liz will run them, they know everything I do and I trust them with all three shops.''
'' Looks like you girls planned it through.'' Susan replies smiling proudly, Santana sighs and nods her head.
'' Yeah we talked a lot these last few days and decided that we don't want the same stress we had when the boys where one year old, we kinda have enough money for one of us having not to work again but we both love our jobs so we just cut back on our work time.''
'' That sounds really amazing San and we can't wait to meet our fifth grandchild.'' Brad says smiling as he runs his fingers through her hair, Santana sighs contently relaxing against her dads legs and smiles lovingly.
'' Yeah we can't wait either dad.''
