To stinky: Hey no there is still a bit to come and it might turn into a longer story with epilogue and such but Count on me is coming to an end and I already started writing the other story just trying to find a way to really write everything down like I want and I am doing a bit of research because I have no idea how to write about an eating disorder but it's coming :)
If you have any advice you can always hit me up on here in a pm or if you don't want that I also have insta and twitter for those who want.
One month later few days before their vacation.
Brittany strolls through the grocery shop following Santana around with Bella happily sitting on her shoulders pointing at different things and chuckles as she bounces on her shoulders. ''You want that for your birthday sweetie?'' She asks knowing both of their birthdays are coming up next weekend.
''Si and wafles!''
''Waffles?'' Brittany asks amused, she holds onto her legs as she squeaks out her agreement bouncing again and laughs. ''So a waffle, cotton candy, popcorn party?'' She asks amused
''And Elsa!'' Bella squeals out giggling as she wraps her little arms around her forehead, Brittany hums softly adjusting her hold on her shooting her girlfriend a wink as she looks over her shoulder with an adoring smile and tilts her head up to look at Bella.
''Frozen themed party with food? Sounds like a perfect party little B.''
''Yu there?'' Bella asks looking down at her with a pout, Brittany smiles grabbing her off of her shoulders and places her on her hip kissing her forehead as she cuddles into her with a content sigh.
''There is no place I'd rather be sweetie, we will all be there.''
''Tia Q, Em and Cedes?''
''They will be there too mija just like uncle Puck and Jake.'' Santana tells her smiling lovingly after dropping a few apples and bananas in the cart.
''Cake?''
Santana laughs as her daughter turns to the bakery eyeing the huge cake on display and hums. ''Yeah I think there will be cake too mija, but we will not only eat junk the whole day.''
''Nope spaghetti with meatballs is a must right little B?'' Brittany asks smiling lovingly, she laughs softly as she immediately nods her head squealing loudly and turns to look at her girlfriend. ''So spaghetti, junk food, Elsa and cake, sounds like an awesome party I want that for my birthday too.''
''Really? You want a frozen theme too?'' Santana asks amused.
Brittany opens her mouth to reply but freezes as she sees her parents walk into the aisle they are in with Emily hot on their heels looking down at her phone while absentmindedly answering a question their mother asks her.
Susan Pierce freezes as she sees her oldest daughter stand in the middle of the aisle with a little girl in her arms and eyes her biting her lip sadness filling her body as she sees the anger immediately filling her eyes. ''Brittany!'' She exclaims shocked.
Emily's head snaps up as she hears her mother call for her sister and sucks in her lips as she sees her sister standing in front of them holding Bella while Santana locks eyes with her both thinking the same. Fuck.
''Brittany.'' Bryan Pierce exclaims darkly eyeing his eldest in disgust, Brittany places Bella in her girlfriends arms silently asking her to leave and locks eyes with her parents.
''Father, mother.''
Santana bites her lip hearing the barely concealed rage in her girlfriends voice and glances between her daughter and girlfriend not knowing what to do, she locks eyes with Emily and sighs softly as she makes a slow shooing motion with her hand telling her to step away with Bella before things get worse.
''How are you doing?'' Susan asks slowly as she watches her younger daughters best friend walk out of the aisle with the little girl, Brittany runs a hand through her hair and sighs.
''Why do you care?''
''Don't speak to your mother like that!'' Bryan growls out stepping forward, Emily slips past her parents after shooting Puck a 911 text telling him to come immediately and walks over to her sister placing a hand on her arm as she growls.
''Sis don't.'' She whispers softly, she leans on her tiptoes kissing her cheek and sighs. ''Puck is on his way and Santana is near with Bell's they can hear you.''
Brittany relaxes a bit as she feels her sister stand beside her and glares at their dad. ''Now the two of you are my parents again? I think that stopped the second you kicked me out!''
''Oh get over it Brittany!'' Bryan exclaims shaking his head.
''Get over it? How could someone get over the fact that her own parents kicked her out of her childhood house because of her sexuality and her hyperactivity?!'' Brittany yells glaring at him. ''You always hated me Bryan and I don't give a fuck about any of that now, I grew up while the both of you kept up the shitty all love for popularity in this damn town. Hell if it wasn't for me and Puck, Emily would have starved to death and you wouldn't fucking care!''
''That is not true Brittany.'' Susan tells her eldest softly, she shrinks back as her heated glare turns on her and gulps.
''Not true?!'' Brittany asks shocked. ''So I imagined living the fucking nightmare from the day I turned sixteen till I turned eighteen and went overseas?! That I had countless warnings from the Lima PD for stealing food and clothes for my little sister? That I send every dime I earned the first eight months to Puck so he could buy everything he and Em needs before she joined him doing small jobs to earn a bit of money herself?! That she has to hide her own sexuality or live it outside of her childhood house with her girlfriend for almost three years now because our fucked up parents don't accept it?!''
She shakes her head angrily running her hand down her face and sighs. ''Want me to continue Susan? You always stood behind him no matter what fucking decision he took because you are too fucking scared to utter your own opinion, too fucking bad that I am not like you and that I won't let him decide what is wrong and what is right!''
''Shut the fuck up right now!'' Bryan yells in rage as he steps forward glaring darkly noticing the crowd gathering near the aisle, Brittany pushes her sister behind her not noticing Puck sprinting up to them whispering to Emily to leave the aisle.
''Fucking make me.'' She growls out stepping forward so their noses are almost touching.
''B stop it, they are not worth it.'' Puck murmurs pulling his best friend back as he sees Bryan's hands ball up in a fist, he pulls her further back wrapping his arm around her waist and sighs as he feels her tremble. ''Calm down Ace.'' He murmurs into her ear using the nickname he used for her whenever she was pissed off in high school.
Brittany sighs the fight leaving her body as she feels her best friends arm wrap tightly around her waist and breaths harshly keeping her heated glare pointed at her dad not noticing her mother silently weeping, Bryan chuckles darkly and shakes his head. ''Listen to him before you are getting into trouble Brittany.'' He leans to the side clearing his throat and whistles loudly. ''Emily, come here now!''
Brittany gulps wrapping her arms around her sisters shoulder kissing the top of her head as she immediately jogs back towards them and rubs her back. ''It's alright sis.''
Bryan shakes his head and growls holding out his hand. ''C'mere Emily.'' He harshly pulls her towards her as soon as she took his hand and pushes her to his wife, he points his finger at his eldest daughter and sneers. ''Stay away from her! I don't want to see you around her ever again!''
''No!'' Emily screams trying to run back to her sister struggling in her fathers arms as he holds her back.
''You can't do this!'' Brittany yells glaring at him her heart breaking as she hears sobs leaving her sisters mouth.
''I can and I will, leave her alone or I will get a restraining order!'' Bryan warns her glaring darkly.
''Bryan.'' Susan starts softly walking over to her husband as she sees both of their daughters hearts breaking at the idea of not being near each other.
''You stay out of this.'' Bryan warns darkly glaring over his shoulder at his wife, he smirks satisfied as she flinches back in angst and turns back to his oldest daughter pulling his youngest against his side. ''Stay away from us.'' He warns once again before turning on his heels forcefully pulling Emily with her as she continues struggling.
''Britt!'' Emily cries out looking over her shoulder at her sister tears streaming down her face, Brittany bites back her own tears feeling her heart shatter as she sees the angst written all over her sisters face and gulps locking eyes with her wordlessly interacting with her until they round the corner. It will be okay baby sis, promised.
She turns on her heels looking up at Puck and gulps trying to ignore the tears burning in the back of her head. ''Can you pay and bring San and Bell's home, I need to leave.'' Puck nods his head taking her wallet from her and follows her down the aisle towards Santana and Bella, he smiles sadly as he leans down kissing Santana softly and sighs as he watches her walk away after kissing Bella's head.
''He can't do that right?'' Santana asks softly as she tightens her hold on her daughter looking at Puck after watching her girlfriend leave, Puck sighs sadly pushing the cart towards the check out and shrugs.
''I don't really know San, he is her dad so yeah he has the say in anything and Susan is too scared to do something against it.''
''What do you mean too scared?'' Santana asks confused as she helps him load the groceries out of the cart one handed while still holding her daughter knowing she is confused to what happened.
Puck sighs turning to her after greeting the cashier and bites his lip. ''Bryan is controlling and can be quite abusive too even though it never happened towards Britt or Em, Susan thinks that not saying anything will prevent him from flipping out so she opts to letting him make all decisions even if she is against it.'' He holds Brittany's credit card out for the groceries she bought for her birthday knowing Santana separated the groceries and bites his lip. ''I don't think B noticed but I saw Susan weeping the second she saw both girls react to what he said, she is hurting and scared too. I am not trying to defend her because damn it's time that she woman's up, but being in a controlling relationship can damage you.''
''Tell me about it.'' Santana murmurs softly thinking back to the relationship with Dani after she paid, she turns to look at Puck as they walk out of the shop and sighs. ''What if we talk with Britt about that?''
Puck shakes his head and sighs. ''I tried but she told me that Susan has to do it herself, that she can't take that decision for her and that if she wants to get out of the relationship and needs help that she knows where to find her or how to contact her which she never did.'' He loads the bags into the bag of his car taking Bella from Santana and places her in her seat buckling her in, he closes the door after handing her the teddy he keeps in his car for her and turns to Santana sighing. ''All we or well you can do now is just show B that you are there and that you will listen.''
''Will she let me in?'' Santana asks softly knowing her girlfriend is quite closed off whenever she is hurt even though she tries not to.
''Your chances are higher than mine S, she loves you and tries not to block you out.'' Puck replies as they both slide into the car, he pulls out of the parking lot and sighs softly. ''If you want I can play with little B while you go check on her, knowing B she is currently sitting on the roof smoking.''
''Smoking?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised, Puck nods his head and sighs.
''Yeah whenever she is hurt badly she smokes, she doesn't do it often but it calms her down and the rooftop is her spot to think about everything she just doesn't enter it like normal people.''
''What do you mean?'' Santana asks confused, Puck chuckles parking his car in front of the apartment building and turns to look at her.
''Normal people would take the door leading to the rooftop, Ace takes the chair on our balcony placed against the wall and pulls herself up to sit on the edge.''
''Why do you call her Ace?'' Santana asks smiling slightly after she picked her daughter back up kissing the top of her head as she cuddles into her playing with her necklace.
''It is a nickname that slipped out during high school when I tried to calm her after she got angry at Jack, she was a nerd or well she didn't learn and gamed a lot but she still managed to ace most of the surprised tests we got so I dubbed her Ace. Whenever I use the nickname she instantly calms down but your presence does that much quicker.'' He tells her as he follows her into the building carrying the bags filled with groceries, he follows her into the apartment dropping them on the table and turns to look at her smiling.
''I will play with Bell's and put away the groceries, go up S.''
Santana nods her head putting her daughter down and helps her take off her jacket and shoes, she crouches down in front of her and kisses her head. ''Will you play with uncle Puck for a bit mija? I will go to B.''
''B cuddle?'' Bella asks smiling cutely, Santana smiles lovingly nodding her head and hugs her close kissing her head again.
''I am sure B will love to cuddle with you as soon as we get back mija, maybe the both of you can take a nap before dinner.''
''Alright little B, what will we play?'' Puck asks as he walks over to the duo standing by the door, Bella looks up at him and smiles brightly.
''Blocks!''
''Blocks it is little B.'' Puck tells her as he picks her up, he helps Santana up and kisses her cheek. ''Go S, we will be alright.''
Santana nods her head kissing her daughters cheek and walks out of the front door after thanking Puck once again, she jogs up the stairs leading to the rooftop and slowly opens it as she hears music filling the staircase as she almost reaches the top.
She sighs sadly as she sees her girlfriend sitting on the edge overlooking the town with her face in her hands and walks over to her, she crouches down behind her wrapping her arms around her slim waist kissing her trembling shoulders and gulps. ''Talk to me, mi amor.''
''He is a fucking asshole.'' Brittany murmurs through her tears, she turns around flicking the cigarette in her hands on the ground crushing it beneath her shoes and buries her face in her girlfriends shoulder. ''My mom is too much of a coward to stand up for herself, Em and for me too when I was in Em's age and he uses that to hurt all of us, he knows that the most important thing in my life is to stay in contact with my little sister to make sure that she is alright and he fucking forbids it now.''
Santana sighs sadly running her hands up her back as she chokes out a sob and kisses the side of her head. ''Is there anything I can do?'' She asks softly feeling helpless seeing her normally strong as nails girlfriend so broken.
''Just hold me?'' Brittany asks softly keeping her face buried in her neck, Santana hums softly kissing her head and sighs.
''We will make sure that Em will still be here babe, I am sure Q will too he can't deny her to drive to her girlfriend and as far as I know he doesn't know that Q knows you.'' She slips her hand underneath the shirt she wears and bites her lip. ''I know the thought of not seeing her ever again hurts you mi amor, but that won't happen okay?''
''How can you be so sure?'' Brittany asks sniffling.
''Because I know you and Em, the both of you will find a solution and I know that he may succeed today but the bond between the both of you is so strong that you will fight together against him.'' She kisses her head once again and sighs. ''We will graduate in a little under two months baby, we will get out of this fucking town and away from people who want to harm us.''
She slowly pulls back cupping both of her cheeks in her hands and wipes away her tears, she pecks her head on the lips smiling sadly as tearful blue orbs lock on her own and strokes her thumb over her cheekbones. ''It will be alright mi amor.'' She murmurs softly as she feels her shiver at the burst of cold wind hitting the both of them, she stands up offering her, her hand and wriggles her fingers. ''Come on, I have the perfect way to fight the sadness now.''
She pulls her closer as soon as she took her offered hand and leans up on her tiptoes pecking her on the lips ignoring the cigarette taste, she wraps an arm around her waist leading her back inside the building and walks down the stairs.
She walks into their apartment after unlocking the door keeping a hold on her girlfriend and leads her down the hall to their bedroom slightly nodding her head to Puck silently telling him that they talked a bit, she closes the door behind them and helps her take off her jacket. ''Go take a shower and change into something comfortable babe, I will put Bell's down for a nap and will be back right after.''
''Can she nap in here with me?'' Brittany asks softly as she follows her into the bedroom quickly undressing, Santana turns on the shower adjusting the temperature for her and hums softly.
''Of course she can, I will change her diaper and bring her into our room.'' She pecks her on the lips once again watching her step under the shower stream smiling sadly as she sees the defeated posture and quickly places her toothbrush and toothpaste beside the sink, she walks out of the room pulling out her phone and opens the group chat reading Emily's message.
How is she holding up S?
Santana sighs as she sees the sad emojis their other best friends send after Emily's message knowing she told them about it and walks into the living room. ''Mija you want to take a nap with B?''
''B hurt?'' Bella asks pouting walking over to her mami, Santana crouches down kissing the top of her head and smiles sadly.
''B is sad mija, but we can cheer her up right?''
''Cheer wif nap?'' Bella asks smiling cutely, Santana hums softly running her hand through her dark locks and smiles lovingly.
''B will cheer up as soon as she gets to cuddle with you, do you need a diaper change?''
Bella shakes her head and points at Puck. ''P did.''
''He did?'' Santana asks softly smiling lovingly as she nods her head with a bright smile, she stands up picking her up and turns to Puck. ''Thank you Puck.''
Puck shakes his head and smiles. ''No need S, go take care of our girl I will make some dinner later on and will clean up a bit for tomorrow.''
Santana shakes her head adjusting her hold on her daughter and sighs. ''You don't have to, I will put Bell's down beside B and will clean up Puck.''
Puck walks over to her kissing the top of Bella's head and leans down kissing Santana's cheek. ''I know you need to be near her now too S, go lay down with them I can manage a bit of cleaning.''
''You sure?'' Santana asks softly.
Puck nods his head and smiles. ''I am, go take a nap too S.''
She nods her head thanking him softly and turns on her heels walking back into their bedroom hearing her girlfriend brush her teeth, she slides into bed after changing her daughter into the pajamas they keep in their room and slides under the blanket kissing the top of her head as she climbs on top of her cuddling into her chest.
''B shower?'' Bella asks tiredly, Santana hums softly running her hand over her back and smiles.
''Yeah she will be out soon mija.''
She pulls out her phone as Bella cuddles into her with a content sighs and quickly types a message into the group chat.
Found B sitting on the rooftop, she is heartbroken guys and scared that she will never see her little sister again. Bell's and I will try to cheer her up and I hope things will clear up in a matter of days, it sucks to see her like this and I know that you Em feel the same so if you need us call and we will come by.
She puts her phone down as the bathroom door opens and smiles sadly as her girlfriends tear filled blue orbs lock on her own. ''C'mere mi amor.'' She murmurs softly lifting the blanket.
''B.'' Bella murmurs tiredly patting the empty spot beside them, she pulls away from her mami as soon as she crawls into the bed and cuddles into her chest wrapping her little arms around her waist.
Santana smiles lovingly watching her girlfriend pull Bella closer kissing the top of her head and tucks all of them in ignoring her phone buzzing, she pulls her girlfriend in her arms kissing he temple and sighs softly. ''Try to sleep a bit mi amor.''
Brittany hums softly nuzzling her face in her shoulder and pulls the little girl in her arms closer kissing the top of her head once again.
''Amo B, amo mami.'' Bella murmurs tiredly, Brittany sniffles nuzzling her nose in her dark locks and rubs her back softly.
''I love you too princess.''
