The next morning

After they arrived at the hotel meeting up with their parents the day before, they all agreed to go to the cemetery the next day and just roamed around the city enjoying a nice dinner just the seven of them.

The next morning Santana wakes up hearing the creak of the bathroom door knowing her fiance went down to work out with Puck before they had to leave and turns on her stomach, she leans her head on her arms turning her head to look at her and smiles tiredly as she sees her walking towards the bag they brought with them only wearing a towel around her waist. ''Now that is a sight I love to wake up to.'' She mutters huskily.

Brittany laughs softly turning around to look at her after grabbing a pair of compression shorts and raises an eyebrow as she sees lust filled brown orbs gazing up at her. ''Eyes up here love.'' She murmurs in amusement slipping her shorts on, she laughs as she groans softly as she puts on her bra right after and shakes her head. ''And you call me horn dog.''

''Have you seen you?'' Santana asks turning on her back to stretch, she shoots her a smirk and shrugs. ''Not appreciating the view is a sin mi amor.'' She throws the blanket off of her body as she hears her chuckle softly and slides out of bed, she walks over to her wrapping her arms around her waist before she can slide her shirt on and kisses her naked back. ''Good morning Britt-Britt.''

Brittany smiles lovingly turning around in her hold and leans down kissing her softly. ''Good morning babe.'' She crouches down in front of her kissing her still flat belly and runs her hand over her abdomen. ''Good morning peanut.'' She whispers softly.

Santana smiles lovingly running her hand through her still wet blonde locks and bites her lip her heart jumping at the morning ritual she started the morning after she told her she is pregnant, she pulls her back up pecking her lips and leans down to grab her clothes. ''Will we eat breakfast here?'' She asks softly, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.

''Yeah you all can eat something love, I don't think I can eat anything until we come back.''

Santana hums softly knowing exactly how her fiance reacts to emotions and slowly nods her head opting to let it go for once and to not remind her that she needs to eat something. ''I know mi amor.'' She murmurs softly as she quickly changes.

Brittany smiles in relieve as she notices that she let's it go instead of lecturing her for once and walks into the bathroom to finish getting ready, she looks into the mirror as Santana joins her a few minutes later and scoots over to let her brush her teeth.

After they both finished getting ready they walk out of the hotel room locking the door behind them and intertwine their hands stepping into the elevator, Santana leans back after Brittany pushed the button and runs her thumb over the back of her hand as she feels the slight tremble. ''It will be alright mi amor.'' She whispers softly.

Brittany hums softly leading her off of the elevator as soon as the door opens and walks through the lobby into the restaurant belonging to the hotel, she scans her eyes through the large room smiling as she sees Puck lift his hand and leads her over to the table kissing her mothers head before sliding into the empty seat beside her. ''Good morning.''

''Good morning honey, slept well?'' Susan asks tilting her head up to kiss Santana's cheek, Brittany hums softly and leans back in her seat.

''Yeah it was alright mom.'' She replies softly intertwining her hand with Santana's in her lap.

''What do you all want to eat mija?'' Lio asks as he calls the waitress over, Santana turns to him and smiles sadly.

''Scrambled eggs with bacon for me and just a coffee for Britt, papi.'' She shakes her head as she sees everyone open their mouths to tell her fiance otherwise and bites her lip, Susan quickly shuts her mouth knowing her daughter won't eat until the nerves lessen and just sighs sadly reaching out to rub her back.

Brittany looks around the table as she sees everyone eat their breakfast and bites her lip, she slowly pushes her chair back and sighs. ''I will wait outside.'' She tells them softly, she stands up after kissing Santana's cheek and walks out of the restaurant not waiting for a reply.

Santana follows her with her eyes and bites her lip, Lio turns to his daughter after watching his future daughter in law walk out of the restaurant and sighs sadly. ''How is she holding up mija?''

''Barely papi.'' Santana replies sadly. ''She is nervous and sad at the same time and she is bad in handling both emotions, she can easily handle anger but the things she feels now are unknown and she doesn't know how to make it disappear.''

''It will lessen as soon as she is standing in front of his stone honey.'' Susan reassures softly as she reaches out to squeeze her shoulder. ''I brought four of Brett's favorite cigars, I know she smoked back in high school and gave it up the second you got together but I think she will relax more the second she can do that what she saw her dad doing on the patio every evening after dinner.''

''Why did you bring four?'' Maribel asks in confusion, Susan turns to look at her and smiles slightly.

''I know my daughter will never smoke alone and will at first deny it because she promised San not to smoke anymore, but I think with the two strongest males in her life she will gladly let go for once.''

''I am down.'' Puck murmurs with a small smile. ''I know I gave it up too, but I will never pass up on a smoke break with B and papa Lo.''

Lio nods his head in agreement and smiles slightly. ''I only smoke cigars during holiday and new years, but I will do anything to see her relax.'' He turns to his daughter and smiles. ''You can stay near, just don't stand in the direction of the smoke alright?'' He turns to Q and winks. ''Same goes for you Q.''

''We won't.'' Quinn tells him smiling slightly, she pushes her empty plate away from her and looks out of the window. ''Alright I am ready to go, I can't stand seeing one of my best friends so down.''

Santana nods her head in agreement downing the last sip of her water and stands up. ''Yes I am too, let's go.'' She turns on her heels walking out of the restaurant knowing they will follow and walks out of the building, she walks over to her fiance as she sees her leaning against the wall beside the entrance and wraps her arms around her waist as soon as she reaches her. ''Ready mi amor?''

''No but I have to.'' Brittany murmurs softly as everyone joins them, she pushes herself away from the wall and turns to look at her mother. ''How far is it from here mom?''

''A five minute walk or a two minute drive honey.'' Susan tells her softly, Brittany nods her head and sighs.

''Can we walk?'' She wraps her arm around her fiance the second everyone nods their heads and follows her mom down the sidewalk shooting her a small smile as she feels her grab her free hand, she kisses the top of Santana's hand as she cuddles into her side mid walk knowing the other four are also walking close to them so she doesn't feel alone and looks at them shooting them a small grateful smile.

Santana wraps her arm around Brittany's waist placing her hand on the small of Susan's back knowing she is also struggling today and leans forward as she feels another hand already there, she smiles as she locks eyes with her mami and nods her head silently telling her that the two blondes in between them will need them the most today.

She looks up as they round the corner feeling her fiance slow down after walking in silence and bites her lip as she sees the cemetery right in front of them, she pulls back taking a hold of her hand and lifts it up to her lips kissing the back of her hand as they stop right in front of the entrance.

Brittany takes a deep breath feeling several hands rub her back and drops her head closing her eyes, after taking a few calming breaths trying to calm her heartbeat down she looks back up and swallows thickly fighting the flashbacks of her dads funeral. ''Let's go.'' She whispers softly her voice cracking.

Susan opens the gate covering her sniffle with a soft cough and walks onto the cemetery grabbing her daughters hand, she leads her down the path knowing exactly where her husband lays and stops right in the middle near a big oak tree. ''There it is honey.'' She whispers softly pointing at the row on their right, Brittany nods her head dropping her hand and runs it through her hair.

''Can you go first?'' She asks softly, Susan nods her head and turns to her friends and her daughters best friends.

''Join me?'' She asks softly knowing her daughter needs to do it alone with Santana, she steps away from her daughter knowing Santana can calm her down and leads them down the path towards her husbands grave.

Brittany watches them walk down the path and reaches up to wipe her nose tears filling her eyes as she sees her mother crouch down in front of the grave tears streaming down her cheeks, she drops her head and gulps. ''Fuck, I don't think I can do this San.'' She confesses softly.

Santana closes her eyes her heart breaking as she hears the sadness in her fiance's voice and turns to face her, she wraps her arms around her waist pulling her in a hug and leans up on her tiptoes kissing her cheek. ''I can only imagine how you feel mi amor, but I think you need this. You don't need it for us but you need it for yourself Britt-Britt, finally visiting him after almost fourteen years is hard but it will also be a huge relief because you got to talk to him.''

Brittany slowly nods her head knowing she is right and swallows thickly, she licks her lips as she watches her mother walk back with the group and bites her lip. ''I think I have to go alone first.'' She whispers softly, Santana nods her head and squeezes her hand softly.

''We will be right here mi amor.''

Brittany nods her head slowly letting go off her hand as soon as her mother joins them again with their friends and sniffles. ''Be right back.'' She whispers softly as she squeezes her mothers hand, she walks down the path she watched her walk down moments before and looks at the stones she walks past.

Susan pulls Santana in her arms as they all watch her daughter walk down the path in silence and bites her lip the second she sees her freezing. ''She found him.'' She whispers softly as she watches the pure look of sadness taking over her daughters face.

Santana hums in agreement watching her fiance's hands start trembling knowing she is fighting against her emotions and sniffles. ''She is fighting against her emotions.''

Brittany looks at the picture on her fathers gravestone not knowing her fiance and mother are talking about her and reads the text on the stone.

In loving memory of Brett Jason Pierce, a much loved husband, father and friend.

Death may have taken you away from us, but our life's hero you'll forever be.

She sniffles lifting a trembling hand up to her face to wipe away the tears blurring her view and crouches down, she reaches forward running her finger over his pictures and chokes out a sob. ''Hey daddy.''
