'' Babe?!'' Santana calls out walking into her girlfriends apartment after using the spare key she gave her, she closes the door behind her kicking off her shoes and frowns as she gets no answer. '' Britt-Britt?'' She calls out again walking through the apartment looking into the living room and kitchen, she frowns as she sees both rooms empty and walks down the hall towards the bedroom.
She opens the door and frowns as she sees her still laying in bed on her stomach and leans against the doorpost smiling. '' Hey you, drank too much last night?'' She asks knowing she had a game night with the boys, she frowns as she gets no answer only some deep breathing and quickly walks over to the bed.
She sits down on the edge of the bed pulling the blanket back as she sees her sweating profusely and lifts her hand up to her forehead, her eyes widen as she feels her burning up and she softly shakes her. '' Babe wake up.''
She rolls her over and shakes her again slowly panicking. '' Baby, please wake up!'' She shakes her head as she receives no answer and jumps up, she quickly walks into the bathroom and wets a towel.
She walks back into the room placing the towel on her forehead and pulls out her phone dialing 911, she sits back down on the bed after grabbing clothes for Britt to wear and runs her hand through blonde locks as she hears the dispenser tell her that they are on their way.
She quickly shoots out a text to their friends and stands up, after taking off the tank top and shorts she wears, she helps her putting on the sweatpants and shirt she picked out for her and smiles sadly as hears her groan.
She jumps up as she hears the doorbell ring and leans down kissing her forehead. '' Be right back, mi amor.'' She jogs out of the room opening the front door and sighs in relief as she sees the paramedics. '' Hello and thank you for coming so fast.'' She steps back to let them in and points to the open door leading to the bedroom. '' She is in there.''
She follows them into Britt's bedroom and leans against the doorpost watching them fuss over her.
'' How long is she like this?'' One of them ask, Santana sighs and shrugs.
'' I really don't know I just got here myself after she didn't answer my calls and text messages.''
'' What is her name?'' The paramedic asks, Santana looks at her girlfriends and smiles sadly.
'' Brittany Pierce.''
'' And your name?''
'' Santana Lopez.''
The paramedic nods his head and writes it down, he turns around and sighs. '' Well we will take her with us to check her out at the hospital.'' He raises his hand as he sees her eyes widen and smiles reassuringly. '' Don't worry she will be fine and can go home after the doctors checked up on her, she has a really high fever and is a little bit dehydrated so we want to treat her for that.''
'' Can I drive with you?''
He nods his head and steps to the side as his colleague brings in the stretcher, Santana watches them easily lift Brittany up onto the stretcher and takes out her phone as it beeps opening the group chat up reading Puck's message.
Is she alright?!
She sighs following the paramedics out of the house and quickly types out her reply.
The paramedics are bringing her to the hospital she has a high fever and is dehydrated, she is still asleep. I will drive with them but after the doctors checked up on her she can probably go, I will keep you all updated.
'' Alright you can sit in the passenger seat.'' The paramedic says after checking Brittany's blood pressure again, Santana nods her head and climbs into the ambulance. She quickly puts on her seat belt as the driver takes off and takes out her phone as she feels it vibrate, she opens Susan's message and sighs sadly.
How is she doing, what did the paramedics say? Did she wake up?
She shakes her head knowing how concerned their parents are and types out her reply listening to the paramedic in the back talk to his colleague about Britt's vitals.
She has a high fever and is dehydrated but the paramedics say that she will be okay, we are currently on our way to the hospital so the doctors can check up on her and can give her the medicines she needs. I will keep you updated mama P, love you.
She slides out of the car as soon as it comes to a stop and watches them roll Brittany out, she hears her groan and bites her lip watching her face contort.
'' S-San?'' She immediately jogs to her and takes her hand keeping up with the pace of the paramedics as they walk into the hospital pushing Brittany, she squeezes her hand and bites her lip.
'' I am right here mi amor.''
'' W-what happened?'' She croaks out trying to sit up, Santana immediately places her hand on her chest and pushes her down shushing her softly.
'' Hey calm down baby, we are at the hospital you have a high fever and you wouldn't wake up so I called 911.''
'' I-I'm thirsty.''
'' Ma'am please stay here.'' One of the nurses call out as Santana tries walk into the examination room, Santana sighs squeezing Brittany's hand once again before letting go and smiles reassuringly as she looks at her in panic.
'' It's alright baby, let the doctors do their jobs and I will be with you soon okay?''
She turns on her heels as soon as the door closes and turns to the nurse, the nurse smiles and places her hand on her forearm. '' She will be alright, could you fill out some files we need?''
Santana nods her head taking the clipboard from her and leans against the wall beside the examination room Brittany is in, she takes out her phone after filling most of it out and opens her Whats app she opens the group chat with her parents and their friends and sends out a message.
B just woke up and sounded a bit like herself, she still sounded tired and told us that she is thirsty. The doctors are currently checking up on her but she will be alright. Love you all.
She walks over to the desk and places the files in front of the nurse, the nurse looks up at her and smiles. '' Normally we send everyone to sit in the waiting room but if you want you can stay standing near the examinations room.''
Santana nods her head and walks back over, she leans against the wall and sighs softly running her hand through her hair. She slides down the wall burying her face in her knees and exhales a shaky breath letting the tears slowly fall.
Ten minutes later she freezes as she feels two pair of arms wrap around her shoulder and tries to pull back.
'' Easy S.'' Quinn mutters softly kissing her head, Santana looks up at her with tears in her eyes and sniffles.
'' Q?'' Quinn nods her head and stands up smiling slightly as Puck reaches down hoisting Santana up sandwiching her in a hug, he kisses the back of her head and sighs softly.
'' You really think that we would leave you here alone S?''
Santana shrugs sniffling and buries her face in Quinn's shoulder, Quinn sighs softly and runs her hands down her back. '' We can only imagine how scared you are S, no need to stay strong.''
'' G-god seeing her laying in her bed not moving at all scared the shit out of me.'' Santana mutters tears falling down her cheeks again, Puck sighs sadly as he feels her sob and wraps an arm around her waist stroking her side with his thumb.
'' She will be alright S.'' He kisses the back of her head again and wraps an arm around both girls in his arms stroking a hand through Quinn's short blonde locks knowing she is struggling too, he leans against the wall pulling both girls against his chest and kisses their heads as they bury themselves into him.
'' Miss Lopez?'' Santana turns into Puck's hold and looks at the nurse, the nurse smiles and points at the man standing beside her. '' This is Doctor Kramer.''
The doctor smiles reaching out to shake her hand and sighs. '' Miss Lopez, you called the paramedics right?'' He smiles as she nods her head and looks down at his clipboard. '' Well damn good job that you reacted so fast, I heard from the first responders that you also had a wet towel on her forehead which reduced her fever a bit. With your fast reacting and calling us we managed to bring her fever down and pumped her up with some fluids to fight the dehydration, she was responsive and awake when she got rolled into the room and she is still awake and asking for you.''
'' C-can we go to her?'' Santana asks biting her lip, Dr Kramer nods his head and smiles.
'' Yes of course.'' He holds out the discharge papers and sighs. '' She is also allowed to go home but she needs someone who will stay with her, if the fever returns back she needs to come back here immediately is there someone who can stay with her?''
'' I can stay with her.'' Santana says with a small smile
'' What about college S?'' Puck asks, Santana shrugs and bites her lip.
'' I will call in sick.'' Puck shakes his head and pats her shoulder.
'' I can stay with her until you come back, you know how she gets when she hears that you called in sick for her.''
Dr Kramer smiles and nods his head. '' That sounds like a good idea, well I just wanted to inform you personally how she is doing and to tell you that your fast reacting probably prevented the fever for becoming worse.''
Santana nods her head signing the discharge papers and smiles. '' Thank you doctor.''
Dr Kramer nods his head taking the papers from her and leads them to the room. '' Just make sure she drinks a lot and gets a lot of rest, she will be back to normal within a few days.''
'' Thank you.'' Puck, Quinn and Santana mutter in unison, Quinn holds Santana back as she tries to open the door and holds out a tissue after wetting it with a bottle of water.
'' Wipe your face first S.''
Santana nods her head and runs the tissue along her face, she turns to their best friends and smiles slightly. '' Better?''
Puck smiles taking the tissue from her and wipes under her eyes, after making sure the mascara tracks are gone he nods his head and intertwines his hands with his girlfriends.
Santana opens the door after sighing softly and walks in sighing sadly as she sees her girlfriend laying in the hospital bed, she locks eyes with her as soon as she turns her head and smiles as she sees her eyes light up almost immediately. '' Oh baby.'' She mutters walking over to her, Brittany smiles taking her hand and squeezes it softly.
'' I am okay sweetie.''
'' You scared the shit out of us B.'' Quinn mutters joining Santana with Puck, She leans down kissing her cheek and shrugs as she mutters about her getting sick too. '' Don't care, the doctor didn't say anything about being highly contagious.''
'' You ready to go?'' Puck asks after kissing her forehead, Brittany nods her head slowly sitting up and intertwines her hands with her girlfriends knowing she doesn't want to talk right now.
'' Yeah.'' Santana helps her stand up keeping a strong hold on her hands and locks eyes with her, Brittany sighs seeing the sadness in her eyes and pulls her in a hug after making sure that she can hold herself up. '' I will be fine baby.''
Santana nods her head gulping and leans up kisses her cheek. '' Talk at home?'' She asks softly, she pulls back as she feels her nod her head and wraps an arm around her waist she looks at their best friends and smiles slightly. '' Let's go.''
After making sure they have everything Santana leads her girlfriend out of the hospital and chuckles as she sees Quinn's car parked into the emergency parking lot, Quinn shrugs her shoulders as they both turn to look at her with an eyebrow raised and chuckles. '' What? The security didn't complain.''
'' Because you threatened him babe.'' Puck mutters laughing, Quinn softly pushes him and chuckles.
'' Hey our best friends were here and needed us.''
Santana smiles slightly turning to her after helping Britt into the car and hugs her kissing her cheek. '' Thank you Q.''
Quinn smiles and kisses her cheek. '' Any time S.''
Santana slides in beside her girlfriend and intertwines their hands in the middle, she turns her head to look at her and runs her thumb over her hand smiling sadly as she sees her yawning. '' Tired Britt-Britt?''
She pulls her closer as she nods her head and kisses her head as soon as she feels her burying her face in her shoulder, she smiles as she feels her sigh contently and runs her hands through blonde locks.
They both jump as a phone starts ringing and pull back, Puck smiles sheepishly and holds out his phone for Brittany. '' It's your mom and San's parents.''
Brittany sighs taking his phone and nods her head, Santana smiles as she lays her head back on her phone talking with their parents over the phone and intertwines their hands.
Puck turns in his seat and looks at her. '' The group did some groceries and stocked up B's fridge for the next few days, Hen still has a key so they also cleaned up a bit and washed her bed.''
'' God you guys are the best.''
'' We know that you would do the same for us S.''
Santana nods her head and chuckles. '' Yeah we would.''
'' Here Puck.'' Brittany mutters tiredly holding out his phone, Puck takes it and raises an eyebrow.
'' You okay?''
'' Mh just tired, Mama and Papa Lo managed to hold mom back from jumping on the first available plane to come here.'' She covers her mouth as she yawns and unfastens her seat belt as Quinn parks her car in front of her apartment building. '' She promised to stay in Lima, but I had to promise to call her every day and if I can't call that San has to.''
Santana chuckles and kisses her cheek. '' Yeah she made me promise the same, I also told her to stay in Lima but she is concerned it's normal to want to jump on a plane to come care for you baby.''
Brittany nods her head sighing and slowly slides out of the car after kissing Quinn's cheek. '' God I need my bed.'' Puck smiles sliding out of the car and hugs her.
'' Go back to sleep B, text us if you need something.'' Brittany nods her head and sighs.
'' I will, thank you Noah.''
Puck just nods his head and kisses her cheek. '' Anytime B.'' He pulls out of the hug and turns to Santana also hugging her. '' Take a nap S, the both of you will feel a bit better after getting some sleep.''
Santana nods her head and kisses his cheek. '' We will, love ya Puck.''
'' We love you too.'' Puck says smiling, Santana intertwines her hands with Brittany after they both said goodbye to Quinn and walk into her apartment building.
Santana unlocks Britt's front door kicking off her shoes as soon as they walked in and walks into the kitchen grabbing two water bottles, she walks into her girlfriends bedroom smiling as she sees her laying face down on the freshly washed covers and walks over to her.
She runs her hands down her back after placing the bottles on the bed side table and leans down kissing her shoulder. '' Long shirt babe?''
She pulls back as she hums and walks over to the closet, she walks back to her after grabbing two shirts and quickly changes. She places the shirt next to Britt and taps her back, she hooks her thumbs into the waistband of her sweat pants as she turns around and pulls them down her hips.
She unclasps her bra after taking off her shirt and helps her put on the long shirt, she pull back the comforter and smiles. '' Lay down baby.''
Brittany grunts and crawls up to her pillows laying down, Santana sighs knowing how tired she is and quickly grabs a water bottle. '' Please drink something Britt-Britt.'' She shakes her head covering her mouth as she is about to protest and bites her lip. '' Please.''
Brittany sighs slowly sitting up as she sees the sadness in the brown orbs she loves so much and nods her head, she takes the bottle from her and takes a few sips. She places the bottle down after drinking half of it and pulls Santana in her arms, she kisses her head as she cuddles into her and lays back down. '' I am okay baby.''
'' I-I was scared shitless.'' Santana mutters softly running her fingers over her stomach over her shirt, Brittany cups her cheek and pulls her head up kissing her nose.
'' I can only imagine how you felt baby, sorry for scaring you like that.'' She runs her thumb over her cheek catching a tear as it slides down caramel skin and pulls her closer, she kisses her softly and leans their foreheads together.
'' G-god I was so scared the second I saw you laying here in bed not reacting to anything I said.'' Brittany closes her eyes as she hears the pain in San's voice and tightens her holds around her, she runs her fingers through her hair and sighs softly.
'' I'm sorry baby.''
Santana shakes her head wiping away her tears and leans down on her elbow, she cups her cheek and smiles sadly. '' You don't have anything to apologize for baby, it was just a scary situation it's not like you wanted to get sick so suddenly.''
Brittany shrugs and pulls her in her arms, she runs her hands over her back under her shirt and sighs softly. '' Yeah but still, I never wanted to scare you like that.''
Santana nods her head and sighs softly. '' I know baby.'' She runs her hands up her stomach under her shirt and places it over her heart, she turns her head kissing her shoulder as she feels her yawn and smiles. '' Go to sleep baby.''
'' Mh, I love you San.''
'' I love you too, Britt-Britt.''
