"Go away Quinn." Santana mutters out, trying wipe the tears from her face.
"Santana please just-"
"No, Quinn listen to me. Why are you doing this crap around them when you have a kid yourself? I mean you know what it feels like for this to happen, just...why?" She asks, whipping around to look Quinn in the eyes.
She seems a glimpse of remorse in Quinn's eyes before it changes back into her cold, hard, demeanor.
"This year, I wanted a fresh start, I wanted everyone to forget about Beth. I told everyone I gave her up, the only people who knew I actually kept her were the New Directions. I was getting enough shit from lying about who was my baby's father, I just couldn't let them know." Santana stared at her with a blank expression. It did make a lot of sense, but she still doesn't really get it.
"Everyone was talking about how you're this quiet badass, everyone thought it too, even the jocks and the other cheerleaders. I overheard heard you telling Brittany you were going to the park with your baby. So I called up JBI to come with me to get pictures, I knew it would make those kids look at me cooler, for exposing who you really were. How you weren't such a badass. I'm sorry Santana, I just really wanted to-"
"Just shut up Quinn." Santana says as she turns the other direction. Quinn could hear her voice cracking, it really made her regret her decision. "You've done enough damage…just go."
"Santana I'm-"
"Just go Quinn!" She yells. It startles the blonde, but she reluctantly turns around and leaves the choir room.
All Santana could do was put her hands on her face and cry.
Brittany finally came to school, albeit, right before first period. But she noticed something weird, the halls were filled with rambunctious chatter. She's confused because she doesn't think she's seen the school this alive since they found out Quinn was pregnant.
She saw the glee kids huddled together in an area, so she goes over to them, maybe they'll know what's going on?
"Hey guys! Good morning, why is everyone whispering?" She asks, turning her head in confusion.
"Have you not heard?" Mercedes asks.
"Heard about what?"
Mercedes shakes her head before pulling out her phone. She frantically types something before giving it to her.
It's JBI's blog, she scoffs, it's probably some nasty, extremely far-fetched rumor. But she scrolls down and her mouth gapes open at what she sees.

New Girl Santana Lopez Hides a Big Secret.
Look here McKinley! Quiet, protective new girl Santana Lopez has a kid? Yup, you read that right, attached here is two pictures from October 2 of her in the park with the little girl. With the way she was interacting with the child makes it look like its hers. Also our sources confirm it is too! Santana just turned 16 on August 27, so that leaves us with some questions. When did Santana get pregnant? How old is the child? Also, where is the father? (This is a developing story)
"Fuck." Brittany whispers out. "I'm gonna kill him." She says as she hastily hands Mercedes her phone back. She soon starts running down the hallway frantically. The glee club look at each other with worry, they don't think they've ever seen Brittany like that.
Brittany has been wondering the halls for what it seems like hours. She can only hear the pit-patter of her tennis shoes echo throughout the hallway. She could get in a lot of trouble for skipping, but she doesn't care, all she wants is Santana. She knows how distressed the girl will be, although she doesn't know the full reason why.
She heads to the last room she thinks Santana could be, the choir room, she was right. She slowly walks in as she sees Santana curled up into a ball, crying.
"San?" The voice makes Santana whip her head around as she gets up and runs into her arms. It almost knocks Brittany over, but she plants herself so she doesn't. She wraps her arms around Santana's back as she soothingly rubs the small of her back. The blonde doesn't know what to say, she just tries to calm her down the best she could.
It takes a while, but finally she stops crying as she just cuddles herself in Brittany's embrace.
"I'm sorry for being so dramatic." She tells Brittany.
"San, you aren't being-"
"Yes I am, I mean I've been through something like this before, I should be fucking used to it already."
"Do you mean back at your old school?" Brittany questions, hoping to learn more about Santana.
"Yeah, I mean they tore me to shreds about it. I was fourteen, and I had just come back from a party. Me and my ex,Damien, we did it for the first time, and he cummed inside me. I was so stupid, and naïve. I thought he was going to leave me." Santana's voice starts to quiver as tears threatened to start leaking again.
"Why did you think that?"
"He was older by almost three years; he was a junior. He was really sweet to me too up until then. But that night, he was like, "Babe, every girl just needs to help their man out." I kept saying no, but he kept pushing me and saying I was being so uptight, and that he would just go get another bitch to fuck. I didn't wanna lose him, I was totally dependent on him." Brittany was shocked, tears were threatening to fall, she was shocked. He literally treated her like an object, she didn't deserve it at all, Santana was the sweetest person ever.
"I ended up telling my parents that night, I was so scared, shocked and dazed. They were disappointed in me a bit, but after I told them the whole story, they were outraged at Damien and his family. Plus they didn't even know I was dating him, our relationship wasn't exactly legal. We had to wait sometime before I could take a test, but I soon found out I was pregnant."
"I don't think I've ever felt so alone, all my closest friends dropped me, I was kicked from the cheerleading squad, and the thing that hurt the most was Damien denying being that father, not even admitting it in private. I became the school hoe, everyone thought I was the plague or some shit, and only came near me when they wanted to make fun of me." At this point Santana was full on sobbing again, in Brittany's arms.
"Shhh, you don't have to continue."
"I…I just don't want this, I don't know if I can mentally handle what I went through sophomore year. It still affects me. Also what if someone tries to hurt her, or me?" Santana pulls away from the hug and looks in Brittany's eyes. "I couldn't live with myself if she got hurt."
"Santana, listen to me, you are amazing, everything you've been through has made you into who you are right now. I don't know if I could handle all the stuff you did, and still do. You are no doubt a wonderful mother, and I know you won't ever let her get hurt. I will never leave you either, I will never treat you like him. I don't know what we are, or if we'll even get to that point, but I will never not be your friend first. You mean the world to me, and why in the world would I let someone as special as you go."
Santana just stares at her in awe before going in for a kiss, but this one was different. Santana wraps her arms around Brittany's neck as more pressure is put on the kiss. Brittany's tongue soon runs on Santana's bottom lip, asking for entrance. Santana hesitates before letting her in. Their tongues move swiftly against each other's.
Santana pulls away, after the need to breath become apparent. She rests her head on Brittany's as she blushes hard. They both pant, their breath kissing each other because they can't.
"Thank you." She whispers out as she buries herself in the crook of Brittany's neck. Brittany gets it perfectly.
It was far into second period, so they decided to just stay in the glee room until rehearsal. Brittany wanted for Santana to have fun today, and to try not to freak out about everything that's going on.
She tried playing hide and seek, but there's not a lot of places to hide in the choir room. They played I Spy, which ended in a heated kiss. Brittany was tickling Santana, straddling her hips when the glee kids started to pile in the room, with looks of confusion on their faces. Brittany leaps off of Santana while the Latina blushes on the floor. Brittany quickly picks her up and heads to the back of the classroom to sit down.
As the glee kids get seated around them, the room stays silent as they all look at Santana, waiting for answers, but no one has actually vocalized what they want.
"So, Santana is it true…" Mercedes says, breaking the silence.
Santana gulps and takes a deep breath, she can do this, she has to be able to say it. Camilla isn't something to be ashamed of, she should be proud of how for she's come.
"Yea." she replies softly.
"Is it okay if…if you would tell us about her?" Artie questions
"Um, sure." She looks at Brittany and sees the blonde give her an encouraging smile. It gives her a bit of confidence; Brittany believes in her.
"Her names Camilla, she's 9 months. She loves Mickey Mouse, mangos, Ashley, and stuffing random stuff in her mouth" Everyone laughs at the last part.
"Who's Ashley?" Puck asks.
"Ashley is Britt's little sister; she absolutely adores her."
"Do you have a picture of her we could see or something?" Tina asks.
"Yeah let me get my phone." She grabs it from her bag and picks a couple from her camera roll. "Here."
"Santana she's gorgeous, she looks just like you." Kurt exclaims, the whole club nods in agreement.
Mr. Schue walks in the room as Santana shows the club photos. "Hello guys! Santana what's going on?"
"I'm showing them pictures of my daughter. Mr. Schue, do you wanna see her?"
Mr. Schue looks confused, "Santana, you have a kid?"
"Yeah…yeah I do." Mr. Schue just looks confused beyond belief.
"Well, alright let's get started. Sectionals is in two months, we won't start preparing just yet, but we still are one member down. We need someone to help recruit a new member, let's think of some ideas people."
Brittany really wants to sing to Santana, but she doesn't really know what. She could sing I'll Stand By You. But Finn sang that to his baby, or the baby he thought was his. She gets an idea though, that new Charlie Puth song, One Call Away.
Santana was trying to think of songs with Brittany, and not thing of everything that happened today, the worst thing is the day just started. She notices Brittany excusing herself, and then her whispering something to Mr. Schue, then to the band. The blonde soon walks into the middle of the room and clears her throat.
"Guys, I just really wanna sing something to Santana, just…just because." Brittany says as the music starts to play. It makes her turn bright pink when she hears her say that, she watches he rwith intent as she starts the song.
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Call me, baby, if you need a friend
I just wanna give you love

Reaching out to you, so take a chance
No matter where you go, know you're not alone

I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
Come along with me and don't be scared
I just wanna set you free
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
You and me can make it up, anyway
For now, we can stay here for a while
Cause you know, I just wanna see your smile
No matter where you go, know you're not alone
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
When you're weak I'll be strong
I'm gonna keep holding on
Now don't you worry, it won't be long
Darling, if you feel like hope is gone
Just run into my arms
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one, I'm only one call away
I'm only one call away
I'll be there to save the day
Superman got nothing on me
I'm only one call away
I'm only one call away
The whole club cheers and claps for Brittany. Santana gets up and runs into the blonde's arms, whispering endless thank you's and words of appreciation. It makes Brittany happy, all she wants is Santana to trust her.
The rest of the club goes back to brainstorming while Kurt and Mercedes watch on the two girls.
"Do you think they're an item Kurt?" Mercedes questions, turning her head to look at the boy.
"Not yet, but I think very soon they will be, they are cute as is right now. I've never seem Brittany like this with anyone else."
"Yeah, you might be right."
Brittany walks out of cheerios practice, it's been a long, long day. She just wants to go to Santana's house and be with the girl, just to make sure she's okay. The feelings she has for her are getting stronger by the second, she's just so amazing and just Santana. She got a couple of points and looks, but no one has tried to actually talk shit to her face, Brittany sees that as a win.
She goes to her locker to grab her bag as she sees JBI walking down the hall. She grabs the first thing she feels, and umbrella, and goes over to him.
"Why did you post that thing of Santana, who told you?" Brittany asks, her voice laced with anger.
"Now why would I release my sour-" She pushes him against the lockers as she points the tip of her umbrella on his heart.
"Now I don't like violence, so you better answer me now." Brittany says firmly. "Who gave you the info about Santana."
"It was Quinn! Quinn Fabray, please don't hurt me." JBI exclaims.
Brittany scoffs as she takes her umbrella off his chest. "Go on now!" He quickly scurries away, he looks like he's about to wet himself with fear. She just shakes her head and heads out school.
Ashley in tow, Brittany is about to ring Santana's house. She splurged on some ice cream on a shop down the street from her house, it was Mint Chocolate Chip. She hoped Santana will like it, she sorta got a random flavor.
The door swings open and reveals Santana carrying Camilla on her hip. "Brittany!" she exclaims, giving her a side shoulder hug. She also gives Ashley a big hug when the little girl reveals the tub of ice cream.
"This is one of my favorite flavors! How did you know! You know what, how about I get us some bowls and then we can watch….Cars! Britt can you hold Camilla for me while I go into the kitchen please?" Brittany nods as she takes the little girl and heads to the couch.
Santana comes back with the bowls and gives them to her and Ashley. She also sneaks a chaste kiss on her lips before sitting next to her and leaning her head on her shoulder. Brittany doesn't think anything has felt this right in a while. She could get used to this. She relaxes, her plan to confront Quinn tomorrow flies right out of her mind.
I want to sincerely apologize for this being a day late, my laptop keyboard broke and needs to be repaired so I had to type this on my phone with took very long, I hope you still enjoyed this! Also I know that Charlie Puth song came out in 2016, just go with it. :)
