''Will you marry me?''
Santana quickly reaches out as Brittany just drops to her knees in front of her, trying to soften her fall and hums softly as thin pink lips capture her own hearing everyone around them just breath out a sob.
She cups the back of her neck as she feels her soft answer against her lips and gently pulls back to lean their foreheads together. ''What?''
''Fuck yes.'' Brittany just chokes out with a loving grin, tears still streaming down her cheeks. ''Of course I will marry you Santana.''
Santana just smiles brightly, taking the ring out of the box and gently grabs Brittany's left hand, sliding the ring onto her ring finger. She lifts it up to her lips to kiss it gently and gazes into sparkling blue orbs, still filled with tears. ''I love you Britt-Britt.'' She breaths out as she sees the promise ring on her left pinky sparkle brightly along with the engagement ring in the lights of the Christmas tree.
''I love you too.'' Brittany whispers softly as she leans back in to kiss her lovingly, her free hand coming up to cover her bump.
''Our turn!'' Quinn, Brad and Amelia squeak out.
Santana laughs as Quinn tackles her in a hug before any of them can reply and tightly wraps her arms around her waist. ''So fucking happy for you babe.'' She just closes her eyes hearing the happiness in her best friends voice and drops her head on her shoulder.
''If people had asked me back in high school, before meeting B, if I would see my life like this later on, I would have kicked their asses.'' Santana just mutters with a soft chuckle, she glances at her fiance as she hears her laugh loudly, smiling as she sees Brad lifting her up in a bear hug and turns back to Quinn. ''But now, I don't want life to throw any dirt in it.''
''We will all make sure that won't happen sweetheart.'' Susan whispers as she slides up behind her, she kisses her cheek as she turns to look at her and smiles lovingly. ''That was beautiful Santana and I can't imagine someone else in my daughters lives.''
''You definitely have your way with words Santana.'' Elizabeth agrees. ''That was really beautiful.'' She compliments as she just joins the hug with Kevin and Lola. ''Congratulations honey.''
''Alright move, I need to hold my daughter in law!''
Santana giggles as Brad pushes through, squealing as he picks her up, being mindful of her bump and laughs loudly as he twirls them around.
Amelia chuckles softly as she sees her sisters loving grin and slides up beside her with Quinn. ''We have someone who wants to congratulate you.'' She just holds up her phone as Brittany turns to her in confusion and laughs as she sees her grin transform into a big smile the second she sees Mercedes.
''Girl, I thought you would put a ring on it!'' Mercedes teases laughing. ''Congratulations B.''
Brittany just laughs and smiles slightly. ''She beat me to it C.'' She whispers the happiness clear in her voice. ''Thank you.'' She looks up locking eyes with her fiance and waves her over, she turns back to Mercedes as she immediately walks over, turning the phone so Santana can see the screen and chuckles as both girls just squeak.
''Congrats Satan! Never knew you had such loving words in ya.''
''Screw you Wheezy.'' Santana fires back laughing. ''Thank you C.''
Brittany just shakes her head in amusement, walking over to her dad to leave her fiance to talk to Mercedes alone and falls into his arms with a soft happy sigh. ''I love seeing you this happy Britt-Bear.'' Brad whispers as he kisses the top of her head.
''Only she makes me this happy dad.'' Brittany mutters with a grin, laughing softly as she hears Santana whine the second Mercedes eats something on screen.
''Uh-oh.'' Brad just mutters also hearing Santana's whine.
''Baaabe.''
Brittany raises an eyebrow as she hears her dad chuckle and locks eyes with her fiance. ''Yes?''
''C is eating pickles.'' Santana whines. ''Now I want some with Nutella.''
''Don't show disgust.'' Brad advises quickly as he hears his daughters breathing hitch.
Brittany clears her throat, her dad's whispers reaching her on time and smiles slightly. ''I will look what Gran has babe.'' She turns on her heels grabbing her dad's hand and pulls him with her into the kitchen. ''Pickles with Nutella?'' She asks softly in disgust. ''What the hell dad.''
Brad laughs softly as he watches her grab a jar of pickles and leans against the kitchen counter as she reaches up in the pantry above them to grab the Nutella. ''Welcome to pregnancy cravings.'' He mutters in amusement. ''Pickles with Nutella is quite harmless sweetheart.''
''What did ma crave?''
''Tuna with banana and caramel sauce.'' He laughs loudly the second he sees her face and hums. ''Disgusting as hell.'' He agrees.
''Well this doesn't look quite appetizing either.'' Brittany whispers looking down at the plate with pickle slices topped with a bit of Nutella, she takes it and turns to her dad. ''Save my ass in case she wants me to try them too.''
She shakes her head walking out of the kitchen as he just laughs loudly and walks over to her fiance sitting on the couch, talking to her family. ''Here baby.'' She whispers with a grin as she holds the plate out for her, she exchanges a glance with Amelia and Quinn as she takes the first bite with a soft appreciative moan and just sucks in her lips as she sees their noses scrunch up.
''You want to try baby?'' Santana asks as she leans back into her embrace the second Brittany slid beside her onto the couch.
''B and I just snacked some while she made you a plate San.'' Brad replies before Brittany can come up with an excuse.
Brittany chuckles as she sees the Nutella in the corner of his mouth and points at it. ''You still have a bit of chocolate dad.''
She sees her mother just shake her head with a knowing grin and relaxes back against the couch as Santana just hums with a happy grin, she kisses the back of Santana's head intertwining their hands on her bump and smiles lovingly as she feels her relax against her.
''Hey girls?'' Elizabeth asks looking at the two cuddled up on the love seat.
''Yes Gran?'' Brittany asks as Santana just looks up munching on the last pickle.
''When do you want to get married?'' Lola asks grinning.
''One year from now.'' Both girls reply in unison.
''Not on Christmas day itself, but between Christmas and New Years eve, the 28th.'' Brittany adds as she sees everyone's eyebrows raise in surprise.
''Why a winter wedding?'' Holly asks curiously. ''I pegged the both of you for the summer kind.''
''Winter break aunt Holl's.'' Brittany just replies with a small grin.
''And peanut will be big enough to watch around and enjoy the day, it also gives me enough time to fit into my old size.'' Santana adds with a loving grin as she cuddles into Brittany's protective arms.
''Only the both of you would plan your wedding around soccer season.'' Holly breaths out laughing.
''Not quite.'' Brittany mutters snickering. ''We won't wait a year to enjoy our honeymoon, I am sure coach will give us a few weeks off afterwards.''
''Wait does that mean that you will go back to playing soccer after giving birth?'' Lola asks in surprise.
''She will.'' Brad confirms before Santana can. ''Susan and I both moved closer to them and offered to watch our grandson so she can continue doing what she loves.''
''Yeah we can see the talent both girls have and we don't want Santana's talent to go to waste.'' Susan agrees. ''Besides we also love to spend some time with our grandson so it's a win-win for all of us.''
Brittany just turns to Santana as she hears her grandparents agree and kisses her shoulder as she yawns. ''Want to go upstairs and enjoy a bit time alone?'' She asks softly knowing they didn't have the chance to have some alone time the whole day, she stands up as Santana hums softly and holds out her hand for her while turning to her family. ''San and I will go to bed guys.''
Santana just smiles as everyone wishes them a good night and follows her fiance up the stairs after they agreed to going out to breakfast tomorrow morning, she walks into the room, giggling as Brittany drops onto their bed face first and walks over after closing the door behind her. ''Tired mi amor?''
''No.'' Brittany mumbles her voice muffled. ''Just a bit overwhelmed.''
''The good way?''
She turns her head as she feels Santana drop down beside her and smiles lovingly as she sees her laying beside her, with her head propped up on her hand. ''The best way.'' She whispers softly as she scoots closer to kiss her softly. ''You surprised the hell out of me babe.''
Santana giggles and kisses the tip of her nose. ''Well it would be boring, knowing when someone would propose right?'' She smiles as Brittany just hums and cuddles closer with a soft happy sigh. ''I love you Britt-Britt.''
''I love you too baby.'' Brittany whispers with a loving grin, she smiles as her bump is near her face as Santana scoots up pulling her with her and leans closer to kiss her covered bump. ''Mami and Mommy love you too baby boy.''
She crawls up the bed as she feels Santana still tugging on her shirt and drops down beside her, wrapping her arms around her waist as she immediately cuddles into her side. ''How do we want to tell the team?''
''Easy.'' Santana breaths out with a grin as she reaches behind her to grab her phone, she dials the number she saved under speed dial five and places it down between them after putting it on speaker.
''Lopez.''
''And Pierce.'' Santana adds chuckling as their coach surprised voice filters through the phone, she smiles as she hears Brittany muffle her chuckle and cuddles back into her arms.
''Sup girls, to what do I owe this Holiday call?''
''You still want to post about the pregnancy?'' Santana just asks.
''I do, just waiting for the gender reveal.''
''Well we just had that, B will send you some pictures.'' Santana tells her chuckling as she sees her fiance grabbing her own phone. ''Mind adding something to the post?''
''Nah, what do I have to add?''
''Just look at the pictures coach.'' Brittany replies with a smirk after sending her two pictures of the both of them holding onto the hoodie, one of Santana kneeling down holding the ring box and one of the both of them kissing, the rings on her fingers clear to see as she cups Santana's cheek.
She locks eyes with Santana as they hear nothing but silence over the line, holding up three fingers for the both of them to see and slowly counts down. Santana covers her mouth giggling, as a loud squeal bursts through the speaker the second Brittany reaches one and laughs as coach Johnson's kids and husband just join in after she told them also apologizing for scaring them.
''Are you fucking serious?''
''We definitely are coach.'' Brittany breaths out in amusement.
''Well damn, congratulations girls!'' They hear coach Johnson breath out, the smile clear in her voice. ''I will write the post right now, you want to tell the girls beforehand?''
''Yeah we will send a picture into the group.'' Santana tells her chuckling. ''Merry Christmas coach.''
Brittany turns back to her own phone as she hears Santana talking to coach after she asked her how they are doing and opens their group chat with their team and Johnson in it, she types out a message and leans back into the pillows behind her back.
To NY/NJ Gotham: Yo bitches, guess what?
She smirks as several girls reply almost immediately and sends a picture of her and Santana holding onto the hoodie.
To NY/NJ Gotham: The team will have a little dude running with us soon.
She laughs as both of their phone buzz in their hands the second the chat explodes and turns to her fiance as she cuddles back into her side after ending the call with their coach. ''Well I think they love it.''
She turns back to her phone as it buzzes once again, after Santana just smirked and laughs as she sees the picture and message she has send in the group.
From my life in NY/NJ Gotham: December 28th next year, save the date girls.
They both laugh as their phones just continue buzzing and shake their heads immediately turning it on silence, Santana drops her phone as she feels Brittany kissing the top of her head and wraps her arm around her midsection. ''I don't think anything can top this years Christmas.'' She whispers softly.
''Celebrating our first Christmas as parents will definitely top this.'' Brittany whispers with a grin, she smiles as Santana hums in agreement and just pulls her close, biting back a yawn. ''I love you Santana Lopez.''
''Just as much as I love you Brittany Pierce.'' Santana murmurs as she leans up to kiss her softly, she smiles as she sees the tiredness in her blue orbs and nuzzles her nose against hers. ''Want to go to bed?''
She laughs as she yawns before she can tell her that she is fine and lifts the covers so they can both slide underneath. ''You are still struggling with the jet lag.'' She whispers in amusement as Brittany just grumbles, she turns on her back, feeling her head settle on her chest and kisses her head. ''Let's go to sleep mi amor.''
''Mh good night baby.''
''Good night Britt-Britt.'' She replies softly as she gently runs her hand up her back underneath the shirt she wears, she smiles lovingly as she feels her arm curve around the swell of her bump and sighs contently as she feels her quickly relax in her hold knowing she fought to stay awake the whole time they talked.
She slowly grabs her phone, as she hears her soft content sigh knowing she drifted off into dreamland and unlocks it holding it up above Brittany's back. She opens her Instagram as she sees a notification from it and smiles lovingly as she sees a post from their team and several other girls posting something about them in their stories and likes everything.
After she liked Mercedes's, Quinn's and Amelia's posts also congratulating them on their engagement and the gender reveal, she taps the button to post something herself and scrolls through the pictures Amelia has send into their family chat.
She taps the picture of her and Brittany holding onto the hoodie right before they turns their heads to look at it, seeing the happiness clear on their faces and scrolls up to look at the pictures of her proposal.
She taps the picture of her sliding the ring onto Brittany's fingers, the big happy smiles clear on their faces and smiles lovingly typing out a message for their fans, family and friends.
The best is yet to come,
Looking forward to the two most important dates next year.
This year was a roller coaster filled with emotions, but with my favorite person right by my side, it will end the best way possible.
Not only did we find out that we will be welcoming a baby boy in about four months, but as of today I can also proudly call Britt-Britt my fiance. After six years of dating, I finally found the right time and in front of our family during our holiday trip to the Netherlands I had to fulfill my dream and ask her to be my wife.
Britt-Britt, words can't even describe just how happy you make me.
I am looking forward to raise our little kicker with you, I am sure peanut will love soccer as much as we do.
Te amo.
