''Hey coach, you have a minute?'' Brittany asks walking onto the field two weeks after her head injury, she watches her wife immediately sprint off to train with the girls and she smiles slightly as Katherine turns on her heels to look at her with an eyebrow raised.
She nods her head to the dugouts and rubs the back of her neck. ''Sit down with me?''
''You are pregnant.'' Katherine breaths out in shock as soon as they sat down, she chuckles as Brittany's eyes widen and reaches out to pat her leg. ''You don't remember Santana saying the exact same thing six and a half years ago?'' She asks in amusement.
''I..'' Brittany cuts herself off and shakes her head with a chuckle. ''Not really no, but yes I am pregnant.'' She grunts as Katherine tackles her in a hug with a loud squeak and laughs. ''Damn coach, loosen up.'' She breaths out snickering as she wraps her arms around her waist.
''I didn't even know that the both of you were trying.'' Katherine breaths out not noticing the whole team watching them after they heard her squeal.
''We didn't tell anyone, but we know we had to tell you first because…''
Katherine smiles slightly and nods her head. ''Because you will take off to make sure nothing will happen.'' She breaths out, she pats her leg as Brittany just nods her head and winks. ''You will be off of the field B, you are free to join some training's but the rules you gave San, also applies to you, no rushing, no tackles and definitely no one on one training until you gave birth.''
''Yeah I will continue joining you all for training, I don't think I can sit at home and do nothing.'' Brittany agrees. ''But I already promised San to take it easy and to not overdo it.''
''Just listen to your body B, your body and your baby know what you need.'' Katherine advises. ''Focus on yourself and your family, everything else comes last okay?''
''I will.'' Brittany promises with a grin, she looks up as she hears thundering footsteps nearing them and her eyes widen as the whole team sprint over with a big grin.
''Girls!'' She raises an eyebrow in amusement as they all freeze the second they hear Santana yell the warning clear in her voice and leans aside to look at her. ''Channeling your inner captain during training Snixx?'' She teases with a smirk.
''You want to feel the force twenty-one girls put in their hugs at the same time?'' Santana just asks chuckling. ''I just couldn't keep my mouth shut, sorry mi amor.'' She adds sheepishly.
Brittany shrugs and chuckles. ''The Fam will find out in a few days.'' She turns to the girls slowly standing up as she sees them twitching knowing they all want to hug her and opens her arms. ''C'mere but be quiet about it for now alright?''
She grunts as Harris reaches her first laughing as she lifts her up in a hug and shakes her head as the other girls just join all cheering and congratulating her. ''Thanks crazies.'' She murmurs grinning.
''So that means we will have to play without our crazy secret weapon?'' Mewis asks pouting as she pulls out of the hug.
''Secret?'' Katherine asks in amusement. ''That girl is more present on the field as you all are and the most of you are standards.'' She muses. ''Nobody can keep track of her on camera, one second she is rushing forward and the other second she is standing near Harris making sure that our goal stays free.''
''Right.'' Mewis breaths out laughing. ''Does that mean that we will have to play without our idiot?''
Brittany rolls her eyes as her wife burst into a fit of giggles and grumbles. ''Shut up San.'' She pushes Mewis softly and throws a fake glare. ''I will still join most training's until I just can't, but yeah you all will kick ass during matches without me but Snixx is still there and equally crazy.''
She glances at the time on her watch and smiles slightly. ''San and I will join all of you tomorrow, we have to go now.''
Santana raises an eyebrow glancing at the time herself and smiles brightly. ''Hell yes it's time to pick baby-bear up and see tiny for the first time.'' She squeaks out with a grin.
She blushes as everyone snickers and rolls her eyes. ''All of you just shut up, lemme be excited.''
''It's cute.'' Katherine tells her chuckling. ''Six and a half years ago we heard B gush and be happy as fuck, now we can see it in your whole being Snixx.'' She looks around at the girls and winks. ''It's good that we are all complete though, I wanted to talk to all of you and cancel tomorrow's training.''
''Why?''
She rolls her eyes as she hears twenty-two voices at once and shakes her head. ''Because it's winter break girls, I know we train twice during every break but let's move that to mid January alright? Enjoy your family time and shut off for a bit.'' She turns to her captains and winks. ''Same goes for the both of you, no soccer thoughts until mid January.'' She turns to Brittany and chuckles. ''Well probably somewhere around the end of August or the beginning of September for you.''
Brittany just nods her head and chuckles. ''Make sure to keep me completely out, you know that I will jump in the second I notice that I am benched and not on reserve.''
''Dragon you are on reserve and on paid leave.'' Katherine tells her laughing. ''I don't want to see your ass unless it's for training, watch a match or just to visit us.''
Santana giggles as Brittany just rolls her eyes and pats her back softly. ''Coach knows you mi amor.'' She leans down grabbing her purse and turns to the girls. ''Enjoy your winter break girls, keep up the workout so we are all fit for training mid January but don't overdo.''
''Gotta talk to your wife for that last part.'' Harris points out with an eyebrow raised.
''I won't overdo.'' Brittany promises them laughing. ''I won't do anything that will be a risk for tiny-bear.''
''Tiny-bear?'' Joel asks grinning. ''That's cute cap.''
''Well San and I are mami and mommy-bear, QT is baby-bear so tiny will be tiny-bear.'' Brittany tells them shrugging.
''So a big bear loving family.'' Harris states chuckling. ''How the hell did you girls come up with that?''
''Because of B's nickname from her parents.'' Santana tells her with a loving grin. ''Whenever we are alone B is known as Britt-Bear in her parents household, so we kinds just took it over or well B did and she started calling QT baby-bear even while I was still carrying him.''
Brittany just hums and squeezes Santana's hand softly. ''Exactly.'' She agrees. ''We really have to go now though, you all want to meet up on the 2nd for lunch?'' She smiles as they immediately nod their heads and hugs them. ''Alright enjoy the holidays girls, see you on the second.''
''Ditto girls, show us some pics of everyone reacting.'' Katherine tells them with a grin. ''And let me know the day I can explain why we you are missing B.''
Brittany just nods her head chuckling as Santana starts tugging on her hand knowing it's really time that they leave the field and hugs their coach grinning as Santana follows her lead. ''I will.'' She promises softly, she turns to Santana as soon as they said goodbye to everyone and chuckles. ''Let's go love.''
Two hours later.
''Mommy?''
Brittany turns to Quinton as he tugs on her hand and turns her head with a soft chuckle. ''Yes baby?'' She whispers as the doctor continues talking about her blood results and confirming that she is indeed pregnant and gently runs her hand through his dark spikes as he leans against her.
''Are visits to this doctor always so boring?''
She laughs softly noticing Santana clear her throat to hide her laughter and slowly leans down to kiss his head. ''Sadly yes, I much rather sit with doc Clyde and play with toys, but we want to see tiny right?'' She smiles as he excitedly nods his head and turns back to listen to the doc nodding her head as he tells her to lay back on soccer and other dangerous activities that might put her pregnancy in a risk.
She stands up as he asks her to lay down and walks over to the bed after ruffling Quinton's hair, she lifts her shirt bunching it up underneath her bra. She smiles lovingly as Santana joins her with Quinton on her hip and pats the spot beside her. ''C'mere baby-bear.'' She scoots a bit more to the edge as Santana places him down and kisses his head as he cuddles into her side.
''See that screen over there mijo?'' Santana asks grinning as the doctor grabs the Doppler, she runs her hand down his back easily intertwining her hand with her wife's on the small of his back and glances at him as the doctor slowly runs the Doppler over Brittany's stomach while adjusting some things on screen. ''We can see Tiny on there.''
''What is that noise?'' Quinton asks curiously as a fast thudding sound fills the otherwise silent room.
''The sound of your baby brother or sisters heart.'' The doctor tells him with a grin, he turns the screen to the three near the bed and points to the screen. ''There it is.'' He adds while pointing to a gray spot on the screen.
''What's that?'' Quinton asks cutely. ''It looks like dirt.''
Brittany laughs quickly apologizing as her stomach contracting causes the doctor to slide lower with the Doppler and turns to Quinton as she hears Santana and the doctor laughing softly. ''That is Tiny, QT.''
''So tiny?'' Quinton breaths out sitting up to look at the screen the second the doctor finds the spot again. ''It looks as small as a popcorn.''
''Well I didn't hear that one yet.'' The doctor muses. ''Well your mommy is about ten weeks now, so the baby has the size of a lime.''
''That is so small.'' Quinton whispers with wide eyes.
''It is.'' Santana agrees. ''But Tiny will grow bigger.''
''But the heart doesn't sound normal.'' Brittany breaths out as she continues listening to the thudding, she tightens her hold on Santana's hand as she feels her tense and turns to the doctor with an eyebrow raised. ''Doc?''
''Well for one baby it isn't normal no.'' The doctor agrees as he runs his Doppler over Brittany's stomach adjusting some settings on his screen.
''Hold up.'' Santana breaths out with wide eyes. ''You mean..''
''Twins?'' Brittany chokes out just as shocked, she turns to Santana as he hums with a kind smile and locks eyes with her. ''San…''
''Oh holy fuck.'' Santana exhales dropping down in the chair behind her still holding onto Brittany's hand.
''Bad word jar.'' Quinton tells his mami with a frown.
''We'll ignore it this time baby.'' Brittany tells him still in shock. ''Mami and I are a bit shocked.'' She bites her lip as he turns to her frowning and just shakes her head. ''Well the doctor just told us that not one but two babies are growing in here.'' She explains carefully while tapping the side of her stomach.
''Two? Like you and aunt Ames?''
''You come from a family with twins?'' The doctor asks hearing Quinton's question, he tilts his head as Brittany just hums and nods. ''Well that explains the odds, not only did the first injection hit but becoming twins through injection is also quite rare.''
''Doc I appreciate the facts but..'' Brittany cuts herself off turning to look at him after keeping her eyes locked with Santana's trying to figure out what she is thinking and bites her lip. ''I think we both need to let this news settle first.''
She nods her head thankfully as he just smiles kindly while handing her some paper towels and slowly sits up. ''Can we get the pictures tho?''
''Of course you can.''
She helps Quinton down as the doctor walks over to his desk and slides down the bed crouching down in front of Santana. ''Love?''
''Home.''
She nods her head hearing the waver in her voice knowing they need to talk in private and squeezes her hand softly. ''Alright.'' She whispers slowly standing up. ''Is there more to know Doc?''
''No I think we cleared everything, take it easy Brittany even more now knowing you are carrying twins and I will see you again in four weeks alright?''
She thanks him softly as she takes the envelope with pictures from him and holds her hand out for Quinton. ''Come on baby boy, let's go home.'' She murmurs with a grin, she intertwines her free hand with Santana's as Quinton immediately joins her side and walks out of the room.
After both women silently agreed on grabbing McDonald's for all of them to eat, Brittany parks her car in the garage and slides out of the drivers seat. ''Come on let's eat dinner.'' She walks into the house, dropping her keys into the bowl and places the envelope beside it.
''Can we eat, cuddle and watch TV in front of the fireplace?'' Quinton asks looking up at them.
''Only this one time.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement knowing they normally eat in the kitchen and kicks off her shoes. ''Please wash your hands QT, what do you want to drink?''
''Can I have juice?''
She nods her head walking into the kitchen and pulls Santana with her as he runs off to wash his hands, she turns to her as she grabs three glasses and leans against the kitchen counter. ''Talk to me San.''
''After dinner.'' Santana whispers as she slides closer to wrap her arms around her waist, she tilts her head up to peck her lips and sighs slowly covering her abs with her hands. ''Not only did we succeed on the first try but also twice the love we expected, well three times.'' She bites her lip and slowly locks eyes with her. ''I am just a bit shocked.''
''You and me both.'' Brittany agrees softly, she grabs the orange juice out of the refrigerator as she hears little footsteps thundering down the stairs and leans down to kiss her forehead. ''Go join our baby boy, I will bring the drinks.''
She quickly fills a glass with orange juice, filling the other two with water and walks into the living room smiling as she sees her wife and son already leaned back against the couch in front of the lit fireplace. ''What are we watching?''
''Aladdin?'' Quinton asks grinning, Brittany laughs as Santana immediately nods her head and slowly slides down to sit on Quinton's other side.
''Sure we can, old or new?''
''Old, the new one is funny but I want to watch the old one.'' Quinton whispers after thanking his mami softly for opening his happy meal and placing it in front of him, he leans back against the couch as his mami starts the movie and holds up a fry for his mommy knowing she picked the curly fries. ''Here mommy, we can share my fries so you can have normal ones too.''
''They are yours baby.'' Brittany whispers with a chuckle as she takes the fry from him, she hands him a curly fry and kisses his head. ''Let's watch the movie and cuddle.''
She smiles as he leans against her side turning her head as she feels fingers run over her shoulders and winks as she locks eyes with Santana, she chuckles taking one of the chicken nuggets she holds out for her and shakes her head. ''The burger and fries I ordered will be enough to feed me, please eat your food too San.''
''We just like sharing with you and you will eat for three soon.''
Brittany laughs and rolls her eyes. ''We both know that, that is bull.'' She tells her in amusement. ''I will make sure the three of us won't starve love.''
''Mommy, mami?''
''Yes baby-bear?''
Quinton giggles as they answer in unison and looks up at them. ''What are their names?''
''We don't know yet mijo.'' Santana replies with a soft chuckle. ''Do you have any ideas?''
''Curly and fry?''
Brittany laughs loudly and immediately shakes her head. ''Oh no, no food names QT.''
''Jasmine, if one of them is a girl?''
''We will think about that one.'' Santana tells him softly.
''How did you think of my name?'' Quinton asks curiously.
''Oh that is easy, aunt Q was or still is mami's best friend and we both wanted to thank her and show her that she will always be a huge part of our family so we both decided to name you Quinton.'' Brittany explains.
''Yeah and Brad is well, your pops name is Brad and your mommy is a daddy's girl.'' Santana explains with a grin. ''And we all know that pops will walk through fire for any of us like he did in the past, we wanted to honor him and well that is why your middle name is Brad.''
''Eliza.'' Quinton suddenly exclaims. ''Eliza for a girl like great gram or maybe a name similar to Holly.''
Santana chuckles and kisses his head. ''If we would name our kids after everyone in our family, we will have a soccer team running around mijo.''
''We will keep that in mind though.'' Brittany adds. ''Keep on thinking of other names baby boy.''
She runs her hand through his hair as he nods his head and slowly sits up, she crawls over him as she sees Santana relaxing back against the couch and gently taps her leg. She smiles as she immediately spreads them and drops down between them immediately nuzzling her face under her chin, she chuckles as Quinton immediately crawls over to sit in her lap and kisses his head as his little hand covers Santana's on her stomach. ''You will be the best big brother QT.''
She turns her head to look at Santana as he immediately gets sucked into the movie and intertwines their hands on her abs sandwiching Quinton's between them. ''Penny for your thoughts?'' She whispers as she sees her blankly looking at the screen.
''Twins.'' Santana just breaths out. ''Damn B everyone told us to not get our hopes up after the first injection, now three months later we not only found out that you are pregnant but that you are also carrying twins.''
''Twice the love we expected, three times the love we will have running around the house.'' Brittany whispers. ''San..''
''I am not thinking anything bad.'' Santana reassures as she notices the spark lessening in her blue orbs. ''I just..'' She cuts herself off and bites her lip with a soft sigh. ''We are both planners baby and I don't think any of us thought this could be a possibility.''
She smiles slightly as Brittany just hums and licks her lips. ''It threw me completely off, sure the second the test came out positive I started imagining a second little one running around but now I added another one on top and as much as I love knowing that we will have two mini versions of us running around I am also a bit afraid that we will be overwhelmed.''
''We will be in the beginning trying to find a routine with three instead of just one little love.'' Brittany agrees. ''But our lives runs on a routine San and as soon as we find it we will settle down again.''
''What about..'' Santana closes her eyes and sighs. ''What about everything else though? I know we will quickly find a routine that fits us the best, but our careers are demanding mi amor and I don't want that to influence our family.''
''I will cut back..''
''You what?'' Santana asks shocked. ''No Brittany I..''
''No hear me out.'' Brittany pleads carefully placing Quinton who is slowly drifting off beside them still keeping a hold on his hand with Santana. ''I don't mean entirely cutting back because we both know I can't but.'' She turns in Santana's hold so she is straddling her hips and leans back against her knees as she immediately lifts them. ''I will join less matches away from home and if we do have a match that needs the both of us, we can always asks our folks, sisters of best friends to join us so QT can still watch the match and we know that they are safe and sound.''
''What if we both cut back?'' Santana asks softly. ''We can talk to coach after our minds settled and we managed to plan a bit more, I don't want you to stay at home alone with our babies and QT, Britt-Britt.''
She shakes her head as she opens her mouth to reply and gently shushes her. ''Be quiet and hear me out.'' She mutters with a soft chuckle.
''We have a hell of a lot talented girls on our team that can kick ass and we will still join them for matches here and around this area, what if we call in two old teammates after discussing it with coach and ask them to join?''
''Who?''
''Rose and Wilde, well Rose and Rose now.'' Santana replies. ''They both still play and we both know how they play, with a bit of training they will fit right in.''
''We are already overwhelmed at times whenever something big happens in QT's life and we have to throw things around to make sure we are around Britt.'' She adds with a soft sigh. ''Hell we almost missed his first steps because we both had a match, I don't want that to happen again because like you said while I was pregnant, our family will come first no matter what and if that means playing less and spending more time with our three loves I will absolutely love that.''
''We are stressing us out way too much right now.'' Brittany whispers with a soft sigh. ''I love your idea though so we can run that by coach and hear what she thinks, but for now we still have a few months where it's just the three of us and I want to enjoy it fully.''
''I want that too.'' Santana agrees with a loving grin. ''How about we start that off with a short trip after New Years? Just to wind down after the holidays and to enjoy a spontaneous family vacation before QT has to go to school?''
''Where to?''
''Our house in Big Sur?'' Santana asks shrugging. ''We went there during all big moments in life to just breath and prepare ourselves, we can just relax and enjoy a bit of family time.''
''Yeah that sounds perfect.'' Brittany whispers with a grin. ''Fly off on the 3rd?''
''And come back a week later.'' Santana adds with loving grin, she glances down as she feels Quinton's hand twitch and smiles lovingly as she watches him pull his hand out from between theirs and cover Brittany's abs over her shirt. ''Tiny-bears will have the best protective brother.'' She whispers voice soft and sweet.
''He already loves the idea of being a big brother.'' Brittany agrees softly. ''Hell he even scolded me and told me to sit down after he found out that I cleaned the house yesterday, I just grabbed the vacuum cleaner but he rushed over took it from me and told me to sit while he did it.''
Santana laughs softly and nods her head. ''Yeah he complained about it during story time yesterday night, I had to promise him to make sure that you won't lift heavy things and that you will take a lot of rest.''
''He will be an amazing young man.'' Brittany whispers as she gently runs her hand through Quinton's hair. ''We did good.''
''We did perfect.'' Santana agrees, she covers Brittany's stomach with her free hand and smiles lovingly. ''And soon we will have three perfect angels running around.'' She adds with a loving smile. ''Te amo Brittany Pierce.''
''And I love you Santana Pierce.'' Brittany breaths out against her lips as she leans down to kiss her softly. ''Want to tuck him in and cuddle?'' She asks softly as she pulls out of the kiss, she chuckles as she nods her head making sure she stands up safely and slowly stands up pecking her lips. ''I will clean up tomorrow, now I just want to cuddle with my wife after we both tucked our baby boy in.''
She crouches down carefully scooping Quinton up in her arms making sure she won't wake him and smiles as Brittany walks out of the living room without grabbing the trash of their dinner, she follows her out of the living room after making sure that the fireplace is out and walks up the stairs glancing down at Quinton cuddled against her chest.
Soon I will have three little ones cuddled into me while laying in the arms of my wife. She thinks to herself with a loving grin as she walks into Quinton's room. I can't wait.
