Wednesday 27th of January
It was 7AM and Santana was already up, dressed and ready to go to school. It was Brittany's birthday and she had a few surprises up her sleeve.
She put on her shoes and texted the group chat she had created.
To Brittany's Bday [7:02]
Going to B's house now. I will text when on our way.
She then made her way to Brittany's house.
"Good morning." Susan greeted from the door. Santana was stood there with a little plastic tub and her backpack. "You're early."
"Yes, I am. I wanted to surprise Brittany for her birthday." Santana explained.
"Oh that's so sweet! She'll be so glad!" Susan said with enthusiasm as she welcome the teen into her home. "You treat our Britt so well."
Santana couldn't help but feel proud. She was overjoyed that Susan felt that way.
"Can I borrow some matches?" Santana asked as she opened the tub she was holding to reveal a cupcake and candle.
"Of course!"
Santana silently pushed open Brittany's bedroom door. She found the blonde asleep lying face down buried into her pillow. Blonde hair was sprawled out over her shoulders and face. Santana smiled at the sight; she couldn't help but think Brittany still looked gorgeous.
Santana tip-toed over to the bed and placed the cupcake on the night stand. She climbed into bed and stroked Brittany on the back a few times before pressing a soft kiss to her nose.
"Happy Birthday Brittany" she whispered into the blondes ear. Brittany's face lit up in a smile but she kept her eyes closed.
"I can see you're awake now but I need you to sit up and open your eyes." Santana said in a small voice.
Brittany obliged. She opened her eyes and her smile stretched further up her face. She then sat up and Santana passed her the cupcake.
"Blow out the candle and make a wish" Santana instructed her.
Brittany took a moment to think before closing her eyes and blowing out the candle. The girls smiled at each other.
"What did you wish for?" Santana asked with curiosity.
"I can't tell you. Then it won't come true." Brittany said honestly. She took the candle out of the cupcake and tossed it aside. She then tore off the case and sunk her teeth into the fluffy cake.
"Mmm. Delicious!" She said with a mouthful. "Want a bite?" She offered as she extended her arm and the cake to Santana's mouth. Santana took a tiny bite - not wanting eat too much of Brittany's first surprise - and smiled.
"Mmm. Thank you" Santana said.
"No, thank you for being the best alarm ever! This was a great surprise. I wish I could always wake up to you in my bed and a cupcake!" Brittany said with a chuckle.
They then climbed out of bed and Brittany got ready for school. Santana sat on the desk chair and watched Brittany rush around her room and talk about her plans for the day.
They climbed into Santana's car and prepared to make their way to school. Before starting the engine Santana pulled out her phone and sent another text.
To Brittany's Bday [8:17]
On our way... get ready
"What was that? Who were you texting?" Brittany asked. Santana stayed silent, she just tapped the side of her nose and gave a knowing look.
Once they arrived at school. Santana took Brittany by the hand and took her in the opposite direction of their usual spot.
"Where are we going?" Brittany asked.
"You'll see" Santana said vaguely.
Brittany followed Santana's lead as she was dragged inside, down several hallways and stopped.
"Cover your eyes" Santana said. Brittany placed her hands over her eyes. Santana placed her hands on Brittany's hips and lead her to a doorway, she opened it and pushed the blonde into the room.
"Okay, now open." Santana said as stood beside her blonde. Brittany pulled her hands away and saw all the glee club together in the choir room. Brad the piano player played a chord and they began singing.
"Happy Birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to Brittany
Happy birthday to you" they sung in harmonies. Mercedes finished the song with a high note which sawed over the other member's voices. They stood there and gave Brittany a round of applause.
Brittany just stood there with a huge grin on her face. "Thank you all so much. This is so sweet!"
"Thank Santana, she's the one who arranged this." Finn said with a smile.
Brittany was then engulfed in a group hug by all the glee club members. She turned her head to face Santana and mouthed the words "thank you."
The bell rang and all the students walked out the choir room to their classes. Brittany walked over to Santana.
"Thank you. I love surprises!" Brittany said.
"I know you do, I've got a couple more backed up for you today." Santana replied. They shared a small kiss and then walked to class.
Brittany said goodbye to Santana and walked into her history class. She sat down at her desk and one of her classmates walked past and dropped a flower on her desk. She picked up the single red rose and read the note attached. It read:
Dear Brittany,
Happy birthday, my love. Have a great day. I told you I had more surprises.
Lots of love
Santana x
Brittany smiled down at the note and sniffed the flower. She was excited to see what the rest of the day had in store.
On the drive home, Brittany thanked Santana again for her surprises.
"We're home!" Brittany shouted as she walked through the door.
"Hello birthday girl" David greeted her. She had received cards and presents from her family earlier.
"Come on, let's go upstairs" Brittany said as she she tugged Santana by the arm.
"Go on, I'll be up in a minute" Santana said. Brittany bounded her way up the stairs while Santana reached into her bag and pulled out a little velvet box. She slipped it into her pocket and went upstairs.
"Ready for your present?" Santana asked.
"I thought I already had it. The cake, the glee club, the rose, they weren't presents?" Brittany asked confused.
"Not really. They were just little surprises." Santana replied. She sat down on the bed next to Brittany and pulled the little box out of her pocket. It was black and had a little red bow on top.
Brittany took it reluctantly and opened it. Inside was a ring. It was silver and had little blue gems on it. Brittany's jaw dropped. It was beautiful and looked expensive.
"Wow! Santana, this is too much." Brittany said as she looked up to meet Santana's eyes. Santana's smile faltered as Brittany pushed the box back into her hands.
"No britt. It's your birthday and here's your gift. I love you so much and want to give you a ring as beautiful as you are." Santana explained. "Please accept it. It would make me so happy to see you wear it."
Brittany took the ring back and placed it on her finger. She admired the way it sparkled. The glimmering blue matched her eyes.
"Thank you so much. This is so sweet." Brittany said as she enveloped the Latina in her arms and kissed her passionately.
After the gift, the girls got changed and went out for a birthday dinner with the Pierce family. Brittany wore a blue dress and her new ring. She showed it off to her parents and to Zoe. They were all very impressed with it.
Dinner was perfect. The food was great, the chatter was amazing and the company was even better. Susan and David exchanged stories of Brittany as a child. Santana loved hearing them. She wished she could see little Brittany.
Santana rested her hand on Brittany's thigh throughout the evening and gave it a squeeze when she deemed necessary.
They went back home and Brittany's parents went up to bed, they took Zoe with them.
"I wish I could see you when you were younger B" Santana said as she sat next to Brittany on the couch.
"Hold on" Brittany said as she got up and walked away. She came back a minute later with her laptop. She sat down and rested her laptop on her legs.
"I have some old photos and videos of me" she explained as she searched through her files. "Here we go" she said as she double clicked on a video.
There on the laptop screen was a little blonde girl running around the garden. It was summer and she was running through the sprinkler. Every time the cold water hit her she erupted in squeals and giggles. Santana just sat there smiling.
"Wet" a young Brittany said as she took off her shorts and t shirt to leave her stark naked in the garden.
"I think your butt is cuter now" Santana said with a smirk as she poked Brittany in the side.
Brittany rolled her eyes and gave her a light smack to the arm.
The video ended and the girls were left in silence on the sofa.
"Oh god, it's 10:30 already! You need to get home San." Brittany said with worry that her girlfriend would be scolded.
"That's the next surprise. I'm staying the night here. I already talked with your parents and they said it was fine." Santana explained.
"Oh good. Come on then, let's go to bed, I'm tired." Brittany said with a yawn.
"I can see" the brunette replied with a giggle.
They made their way upstairs and got ready for bed. They climbed in and gave each other a smile. They shared a few little kisses.
"Roll over then, I want to go to sleep." Brittany said, waiting for Santana to roll over so she could spoon the Latina.
"Actually, I'm spooning you tonight." Santana replied. Brittany rolled over and Santana pulled her body flush against the blonde's.
"That's a surprise!" Brittany said referring to their sleeping position.
"Yeah, well you love surprises" Santana replied.
They fell asleep together and Brittany had to admit that was her best birthday ever.
Next time: studying together
