Saturday 19th of December

Santana and Brittany had been making good use of the mistletoe hung on Brittany's bed. The cold weather gave them an excuse to be inside in bed all day too.

They were lying in bed together when Brittany remembered her family had plans.

"So today we have some old family friends coming over. They're staying the night too. We used to live down the street from them before I moved to Lima." Brittany explained.

"Oh cool, what are their names?" Santana questioned.

"John and Jackie." Brittany answered. "They also have a son called Jordan who's our age but he's not coming over."

"Nice, I look forward to meeting them." Santana said with a smile before turning her attention back to the TV.


The Pierce family - plus Santana- were sitting around the kitchen table chatting away while they waited for their guests to arrive. They were all sipping on drinks, Brittany had Dr Pepper and Santana had Lemonade.

Ring Ring

Susan got up and walked over to answer the door, she greeted them and showed them into the kitchen.

Brittany looked at the doorway and saw John and Jackie but she was surprised to see another body in the hallway. The 3rd person was tall and tanned, he had short brown hair and dark eyes. He was physically fit and strong. It was Jordan.

Brittany got up from her chair and ran to meet the boy in the hallway.

"JORDAN!" She squealed as he enveloped her in a bear hug and lifted her off the ground.

"Hey Brittany! It's great to see you" he replied enthusiastically.

He put her down and she took Jordan by the hand and brought him into the kitchen.

"Jordan you remember my dad and Zoe" Brittany said.

"Yes of course, Hey Zoe, Hello David." He shook David's hand and smiled at the youngest Pierce.

"And this is my friend Santana" Brittany added as she pointed to the Latina.

"Hi, I'm Jordan." He greeted her.

Santana smiled at him politely. She thought it was a little strange that she was introduced as Brittany's friend rather than girlfriend but she just brushed it under the carpet and moved on.

Brittany and Jordan took a seat at the table and John and Jackie walked in and greeted everyone. They all sat down and got to chatting.

"I didn't know you were coming" Brittany said across the table to Jordan.

"It was a last minute change of plan. I would never miss seeing you" he replied.

It didn't take long before the Dads made their way out to the garage and the Mums moved into the living room. Zoe went off to play with her toys leaving the 3 teenagers alone.

"So how did you two meet?" Santana asked.

"Well we've been friends since we were 10. When Jordan moved to the neighbourhood, he joined my school and we met there." Brittany explained.

Jordan nodded. "How did you two meet?" He asked.

"Santana lives next door actually. When we first moved in, she came over to say hello and welcome us to the neighbourhood. We also go to school together." Brittany answered again.

"Brittany? Come here" Susan called from the other room.

"Sorry. Back in a minute." Brittany said as she left the room. Now Santana and Jordan were alone.

"So you and B used to be close then?" Santana questioned.

"Yeah, like she said, we've been friends since we were 10. We then became boyfriend and girlfriend and we were a couple for around 3 years." Jordan replied. Santana didn't know they used to date. "Yeah, we were super in love and spent every waking moment together. We lost our virginities to each other at age 15. I thought she'd be the girl I married but I guess now she's the one that got away." He finished.

Santana was in shock. Brittany didn't introduce as her girlfriend because she didn't want her to know Jordan was her ex. Santana became really pissed off that Brittany hadn't told her about a 3 year relationship. Normally, she would of kicked off and started fighting Jordan but she had to respect the Pierce's guests and their house and rules. She could feel the anger building up inside her. She could tell Jordan definitely still loved Brittany. Now she was questioning if Brittany still loved him too.

Brittany walked back in the room and sat down. "Sorry about that, mum just needed me to-" Brittany was cut off by Santana standing up, giving her an angry look, storming out the house and slamming the front door behind her.

Brittany got up and walked over to Santana's house. She found the Latina pacing around the kitchen.

"Santana. What happened?" Brittany asked in confusion.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Santana said with anger filling her voice.

"Tell you what?" Brittany asked.

"YOU AND JORDAN! 3 YEARS!" She shouted. "You were in love, you were best friends, you lost your virginity to him and you didn't even tell me about him!"

"What? You're annoyed because I had a boyfriend who I broke up with before I even met you? That's ridiculous!" Brittany countered. She also felt angry at this point.

"No! What's ridiculous is that you introduced me as your friend! Are you really that ashamed of me?" Santana started to cry. A few tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I didn't think it mattered! You are my friend, you're just also more than that." Brittany shouted back. She too was crying a little. "Are you jealous of him?"

"JEALOUS! Are you kidding me right now?" Santana said as her arms dropped to her sides.

"You're so dramatic! I'm going to go home and fun with my guests and leave you here to sulk and calm down." Brittany said as she walked out the kitchen.

"Go! Go and have fun with Jordan, he's the love of your life anyway!" Santana shouted after her. Once Brittany slammed the front door, Santana fell to the floor in a bundle of tears and pain.


Santana spent the rest of the day moping around. She watched 'The Notebook' and had a sob. She had a hot shower. She couldn't bring herself to eat anything, she felt sick from their fight from earlier. Mostly though, she felt lonely. She should of been spending the day with Brittany and getting to know her family friends.

Santana got changed into her pajamas and climbed into bed. She looked at the
framed pictures of Brittany and her but they only made her feel worse. She turned them around so she didn't have to look at them. She had promised Susan, David, her Ma and Pa and most of all - herself that she would never hurt Brittany. But she had.

Santana tossed and turned for a couple of hours but couldn't fall asleep. She rolled over and took a deep breath into the pillow that Brittany sometimes sleeps on. She smelt the lavender and smiled a little at it. She missed that smell but mostly she missed Brittany.

Her phone vibrated on the nightstand and she picked it up. She saw a text from Brittany.

From Britt 'Sexy' Pierce [01:19]
Can we talk? I can't sleep.

She replied.

To Britt 'Sexy' Pierce [01:19]
Yes. Me neither. Come over.

She put her phone down and went downstairs to wait for her blonde. A moment later, Santana let Brittany into the house. She relocked the door and they made their way upstairs. They sat on opposite ends of the bed.

"I'm sorry" they both said at the same time. They laughed a little.

"I'm sorry B, I overreacted. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly. I'm not jealous of Jordan, it just would have been nice to know about your relationship first." Santana explained.

"I understand, I'm sorry too. I should have told you about him. But he's not the love of my life. I thought I loved him when I was 15, but I didn't even know what love was. You have taught me what love is, it means you'd do anything for someone even if it puts you in danger and I would do that for you. I know that you'rethe love of my life, I believe that we are going to get married and have kids and live happily ever after." Brittany explained.

Santana just sat there and smiled at her. Brittany had just melted her heart. "I love you so much. I hope we get married and have kids too!"

"I love you too" Brittany replied. "So much."

Their lips connected in a long awaited kiss. They then laid down in bed face to face under the covers.

"I've missed you today." Santana admitted in between kisses.

"Mmm me too" Brittany replied.

Santana pulled away and said "Britt, as much as I wanna have makeup sex with you right now, I'm really tired."

"Oh thank god! I'm so tired" Brittany replied feeling relieved. Santana giggled.

"We can do it another time" Santana said with a yawn as she cuddled closer to Brittany.

"Mmm Hmm" Brittany agreed.

They both finally fell asleep. All they needed was each other. Their bodies molded together and they both felt happy again in the other girl's arms.


The next morning, the girls woke up around 10. They needed the extra sleep to make up for the first half of the night they spent tossing and turning.

"Morning sleepy head" Brittany said as she felt Santana shuffle a little in her arms.

"Mmm morning" Santana replied.

They laid in bed a little while longer just cuddling and stealing little kisses from each other. They then got up, got dressed and made their way back to Brittany's house.

"Morning girls" Susan said as they entered the house. "Brittany, a word please" she said sternly with raised eyebrows.

Santana walked over to Zoe and started playing with her. Brittany walked over to her angry looking mother.

"Where did you disappear to last night? You snuck out the house and we were worried sick when you weren't in your bed this morning." Susan said to her daughter.

"I'm sorry mom. Santana and I were fighting and I couldn't sleep. I went over to her house to make things right. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Brittany apologized, looking down at her feet. She was afraid to make eye contact with the older Pierce.

"It's alright honey. Just next time leave a note." Susan said. "You did the right thing about your fight, you were right to go and make up. Are things alright now?"

"Yes. Thank you" Brittany said as she hugged her mother. Susan went back to the kitchen and Brittany wondered over to Jordan.

"Hey Jordan. I have some explaining to do." Brittany said as she sat next to him. "So Santana isn't just my friend, she's my girlfriend."

"Hmm, I figured." Jordan said with a smile.

"I didn't tell you because I thought that you'd find it weird that I'm now with a girl. I also didn't tell her about us which is why she got angry when you spoke to her. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you." Brittany added.

"It's alright. I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said so much. I don't find it weird by the way, I can see you're happy with her and that's all I want for you." Jordan replied with a smile.

"I really am happy. I love her more than anyone ever, she makes me the happiest I've ever been and I bring out a side to her no one knew she had. Thank you for understanding. I hope you find love and happiness too." Brittany said. She looked over to Santana who was playing with Zoe and smiled. She really did love her more than anyone else.

After lunch, John, Jackie and Jordan had to go home. Brittany said her goodbyes and waved at them from the doorstep. She walked back inside to find Santana sat at the table.

Brittany took a seat on her lap and wrapped her arms around Santana's neck. Santana's arms rested at Brittany's waist and they shared a small kiss.

"I'm sorry that this weekend didn't quite go to plan." Brittany apologized again.

"Hey, it's fine. We've said sorry so now we can move on." Santana reassured her.

They shared another kiss.

"I think we should tell each other about our ex's" Brittany said honestly.

"Yeah, that might be a good idea. Then we can avoid something like this happening again." She finished with a chuckle.

"I love you"

"I love you too"


Author's Note: a few people requested a fight so there it is.
