One week later
In the middle of the night Santana groans softly as she drops down on her knees in front of the toilet and closes her eyes as she empties the contains of her stomach into the porcelain bowl, she covers her abdomen with her free hand and hiccups softly silently cursing herself for being glad that she thought morning sickness was over.
She tenses as she feels slender fingers stroke her hair out of her face and grunts softly as she feels Brittany tying her hair up in a ponytail, she clenches her hands into fists as she dry heaves and groans as she feels her body slide down to hug her from behind. ''I thought this shit was over.''
Brittany kisses the back of her head pouting tiredly and places her hand on Santana's stomach covering the hand she finds there. ''I thought so too love.'' She whispers softly, she reaches out flushing the toilet as she notices her just leaning forward without any signs of throwing up more and leans to the side to grab her toothbrush and mild toothpaste.
Santana takes both from her and sighs tiredly as she slowly stands up. ''Go back to sleep mi amor, I didn't want to wake you.''
Brittany hums slowly standing up and kisses her shoulder as she brushes her teeth, she walks out of the bathroom and jogs down the stairs knowing exactly what Santana needs to go back to sleep. She slides into the kitchen on her socks and opens the pantry above the stove grabbing the ginger tea their mothers prepared for them, she flips the switch of the water cooker after filling it and leans against the kitchen counter waiting for the cooker to be done.
She glances at the fridge smiling lovingly as she sees their baby hanging in the center and runs her thumb over it, she fills the cup with boiled water as soon as it's done and reaches up into the cupboard grabbing a package of crackers for her fiance to snack on in case she is hungry.
She walks out of the kitchen after pulling the plug of the water cooker and carries the tea and crackers up the stairs being careful to not spill the tea, she walks back into their bedroom smiling lovingly as she sees Santana sitting on the edge of the bed running her hand over her stomach and crouches down in front of her placing the cup of tea and the crackers on her nightstand.
''You didn't have to make me a tea Britt-Britt.'' Santana whispers softly, she looks up from her stomach into her tired blue eyes and smiles sadly. ''We came back late from Q and Puck, you need your sleep for your class tomorrow.''
Brittany shakes her head and hands her the cup, she leans up and kisses her softly. ''I can function on a little less sleep too, need anything else love?''
Santana bites her lip running her fingers over her stomach and shakes her head. ''No just your cuddles.''
Brittany smiles lovingly and slides back into their bed, she lifts her arm as soon as she settled against the headboard and pats her shoulder. ''C'mere love.'' She wraps her arm around Santana as soon as she cuddles into her side still slowly sipping on her tea and kisses the top of her head, she slides her free hand down her arm and covers her stomach with her hand.
She pulls back as she feels Santana relax knowing the tea is working and slides down, she slides the top she wears up looking at her fiance's still flat stomach and leans in softly kissing her belly button. ''Hey peanut.'' She murmurs lovingly. ''Think you can let your mami go back to sleep?'' She asks softly. ''We both love knowing you are having fun in there, but we both don't want mami feeling yucky in the middle of the night right?''
Santana freezes the second she feels a small flutter near the spot her fiance's lips are placed against and drops one hand from the cup she holds, she runs them through blonde locks and bites her lip. ''Continue talking mi amor.'' She whispers softly, she shakes her head as she looks up at her in concern the second she hears her voice crack and bites her lip. ''I think I just felt a movement, peanut is reacting to your voice.'' She murmurs.
Brittany smiles lovingly kissing her stomach once again and places both hands on her fiance's stomach knowing it's too soon to feel the little one kick yet. ''You love hearing my voice peanut?'' She asks softly, she leans in close as Santana nods her head silently telling her that she felt it again and bites her lip. ''Let me tell you that I love talking to you chilling in mami's stomach too, as soon as you are done swimming around in there you will find out just how comfortable mami really is.''
She runs her thumbs over her fiance's side and glances up at her with a loving smile. ''You can only hear her beautiful voice now but as soon as we can hold you, you can hear her sing while feeling her arms around you and that is better than hearing it while not being able to see her little love. You will have the best mami on earth and she will do everything to make you happy likes she does to make me happy, she is one of a kind peanut and you will find out soon because the love I can see her already having for you will only intensify the second she will hold you in her loving arms.''
''Babe.'' Santana murmurs softly as she feels flutters in her stomach where their child is moving in her heart beat picking up the second she sees the love shine brightly in tired blue orbs, she covers her hand on her stomach intertwining their hands and runs her thumb over her belly button near the fluttery feeling. ''While your mommy only talks about me, let me tell you something peanut.''
She looks down at her fiance and smiles lovingly. ''Your mommy is one of a kind and will do everything in her might to make sure the both of us are happy and feeling well like she is doing for me now, I can't wait for the day she gets to hold you. You can already hear the love clear in her voice but I know that she will love you even more the second she gets to hold you, she will spoil you rotten and people probably have to fight her to get to hold you for a few seconds.''
Brittany laughs softly and hums. ''I am sure about that.''
''Come here.'' Santana whispers softly after placing her empty cup down, she curls her fingers around her jaw as she crawls up her body and kisses her softly. ''I always love watching you talk to peanut, I can't wait for the day we bring him or her home and watch you cuddle with the both of us right here enjoying a bit of mami and mommy time.''
''I can't wait either love.'' Brittany murmurs softly against her lips, she kisses her again and settles back beside her placing her hand on her stomach. ''Are you okay?''
Santana hums turning on her side feeling her slide closer and intertwines their hands on her stomach. ''The tea always helps, thank you for that mi amor.''
''Any time love, try to sleep some more.'' Brittany whispers softly as she turns the lights off, she pulls her closer kissing her shoulder and closes her eyes smiling lovingly as she hears her soft content sigh.
Three hours later
Brittany groans as her phone buzzing on the nightstand wakes her up and slowly pulls back making sure not to wake Santana, she grabs the device after glancing at the alarm clock and blindly answers the call. ''It's four in the morning, who the fuck is calling?!''
''It's me.'' Puck rushes out over the phone sounding breathless. ''Q's water broke.''
''What hospital?'' Brittany asks quickly waking up, she jumps out of bed slipping her clothes on completely forgetting her compression shorts and reaches over gently shaking her fiance awake.
''Pres.'' Puck replies. ''I need you B, I am close to..''
''I know calm down and get her to the hospital, San and I will be there soon.'' Brittany tells him as she cuts him off, she turns to Santana throwing clothes for her on the bed as she hears Puck's car start and leans down kissing her softly.
''Our little niece couldn't wait another month.'' She tells her softly. ''Q's water just broke.''
Santana immediately jumps out of bed to get dressed and smiles brightly. ''Let's meet her!''
Brittany chuckles softly hearing the excitement slip into her tired voice and kisses her cheek. ''I will start the car and call the folks.'' She jogs down the stairs the second she nodded her head and grabs her keys, she sprints down the stairs and jumps in her car dialing her moms phone while also adding Lio into the conference call.
''It's midnight, what happened?'' Susan asks the second she answers the call.
''What's wrong mija?'' Lio asks as the same time answering the phone almost immediately.
''Q's water just broke, San and I are on our way to the hospital.'' She pulls her phone away from her ear as her mother squeals loudly and groans. ''Thanks for the bust eardrum ma.''
Santana laughs sliding into the car and takes the phone out of Brittany's hand, Brittany smiles slightly hearing her talk to their parents after Lio also added Maribel to the call and pulls out of their parking lot speeding down the streets ready to meet their best friends and little niece.
''How much is Puck stressing?'' Santana asks after ending the call with their parents after they told her that they will take the first flight available.
''Much.'' Brittany murmurs softly, she pulls her work phone out of the pocket of her sweat pants and holds it out for her. ''Can you cancel the first two classes and ask Kyle to take over the others?''
''You taking the day?'' Santana asks softly as she opens the website on Britt's phone to cancel the classes.
''Yeah our best friends need us, I know Mike will go in and Kyle can cover for me after I covered his classes last week.''
Santana hums placing her phone down after sending Kyle the message and turns to look at her with a slight smile. ''Are you thinking about hiring Kyle permanently?''
''Yeah we have an appointment to talk about that next week, he can take over some of my classes and I am also thinking of hiring two more so I can be home more starting next year.'' Brittany replies shrugging. ''Now that Alicia's song I choreographed is out, more requests from stars are coming in after she praised the hell out of the studio in an interview so I will need more people to handle their demands.''
''Your studio is rising and it's rising fast mi amor.'' Santana murmurs smiling proudly.
Brittany hums in agreement parking her car and takes off her seat belt, she jumps out of the car smiling as she sees Santana waiting at her side ready to sprint in and quickly locks it. ''Let's go meet princess, babe.''
She laughs as she turns on her heels immediately taking off into a sprint and quickly follows her dodging a few people walking in their path, she speeds up wrapping her arm around Santana's waist knowing she wears shoes that won't allow her to stop suddenly and slowly slows down kissing the top of her head as they stop in front of the front desk.
''Hi we are looking for Quinn Fabray.''
''Did she get brought in tonight?'' The woman behind the desk asks in a bored tone, Brittany rolls her eyes planting her right hand on the small of her fiance's back knowing she hates people who are talking to them like that and taps the desk.
''She was, her water broke and her boyfriend brought her in probably twenty minutes ago.''
''Are you family of her? Only family all..''
''Listen u..'' Santana starts before grumbling against Brittany's hand, Brittany keeps her hand clasped over Santana's mouth covering her amusement by a cough and looks at the woman.
''I am her sister, Brittany Fabray.'' She reaches into the back pocket of her jeans and pulls out her wallet, she holds out the second insurance card she has after Quinn asked her to keep it save and shows it to the woman. ''This is Miss Fabray second insurance card, she asked me to keep it in case she loses the one she has.''
The woman nods her head and sighs tiredly. ''Room 208, take the elevator to the second floo..''
''Thanks.'' Brittany murmurs pulling Santana with her towards the elevators, she slides into the one about to close the doors and hits the second floor button.
''Never shut me up again Brittany Pierce.'' Santana grumbles while glaring at her, Brittany turns to her and raises an eyebrow trying to hide her amusement as she sees the death glare directed at her.
''Sorry babe but I had to, I don't think you would have liked her kicking us out because you just gave her your opinion.''
She silently thanks god as the doors open before Santana can reply and walks out onto the floor, she looks around at the numbers and clears her throat as a nurse jogs pass them. ''Excuse me, where can we find room 208?''
''Down the hall on your right Miss.'' The nurse replies hurriedly, Brittany thanks her softly and intertwines her hand with Santana's walking down the hall looking at the numbers they pass by.
She skids to a stop the second she sees room 208 and knocks on the door, she walks in wincing as a scream echoes through the room and quickly crosses the room to stand beside Puck as Santana walks over to Quinn.
''Calm down, they will both be alright.'' She whispers softly as she pulls him into a hug, she kisses his cheek reaching out to grab Quinn's hand as she reaches for her and locks eyes with Puck. ''Get rid of all the doubts Noah, you know what to do and you will be the best dad ever.''
She turns to Quinn wincing as she squeezes her hand hard the second a contraction hits and bites her lip to silence her groan, she leans down kissing her sweaty forehead and smiles lovingly. ''Breath Q.'' She murmurs softly.
Santana watches Brittany managing to console both of their best friends with only a few words and bites her lip feeling her heart swell with love knowing that she will be in Quinn's position next year with Brittany being constantly by her side, she leans down kissing Quinn's head as their ob-gyn walks in and shoots him a smile. ''We will be in the waiting room babe.''
Brittany pulls back slowly shaking her hand out and shoots Dr Jack a sheepish smile as he shoots her a knowing grin, she turns to Puck and kisses his cheek. ''Whatever you do, don't hold her hand.'' She warns him softly she shakes her head as he tries to say something and winks. ''I'll live, go to Q, San and I will be in the waiting room.''
She follows Santana out of the room after greeting Dr Jack and closes the door behind her, she follows her into the waiting room across the hall and shakes out her hand with a soft groan.
''You made the mistake and held Q's hand?'' Santana asks softly as she sits down beside her, she clicks her tongue as Brittany just smiles sheepishly and reaches out slowly grabbing the hand she is shaking out. ''Idiot.'' She whispers with a soft chuckle.
''I didn't think she had so much strength.''
Santana laughs and leans over to kiss her cheek. ''Please do me a favor and don't hold my hand while I am in labor, I love knowing you want to take my pain but having you in pain right after is not something I am looking out too.''
Brittany chuckles pulling her in her lap and kisses her shoulder as she cuddles into her. ''I won't promise you anything love, Dr Jack warned me more than once and I still forgot.''
''You want to get it checked out?'' Santana asks softly as she still sees her flexing her hand, Brittany shakes her head and kisses her cheek.
''Not now, I will let a nurse take a look after knowing that Q and princess are alright.''
Santana nods her head intertwining their hands and smiles slightly as she feels Brittany nuzzle her face in her shoulder. ''Can you believe our best friends will be parents soon?''
''Mh not really, it feels like yesterday that I had to smack some sense into Puck for stressing out over asking Q out on a date.''
Santana laughs and nods her head. ''God I got sick of Q gushing about him and was really doing my best not to tell her to grow a pair and ask him out herself.'' She turns her head to look at her and snickers. ''You were always the one who acted more on thoughts, I would have never dared to lock them into a room together but you did.''
''They annoyed me and in the end it all worked out, sure they separated too but your dad was right soulmates sometimes need a small break to notice just how much you need the other part who makes you feel whole.''
''In the end it worked out for all of us.'' Santana whispers softly with a loving smile as she feels Brittany covering her stomach with her hand, she runs her thumb over her engagement ring and leans in to kiss her softly. ''The four of us always did a lot together and now we will be parents soon, I am also quite sure that Puck will go down on one knee soon.''
''Mh I think so too and getting to experience the amazing things in life with our best friends is the best feeling ever.'' Brittany whispers a loving smile playing on her lips.
''Girls!''
They both look up as Puck sprints into the room with a big bright smile and quickly stand up. ''And?!'' They ask simultaneously.
Puck runs his hand over his Mohawk and bites his lip tears filling his eyes. ''She is here and she is perfect.'' He gushes as happy tears stream down his cheeks, he laughs as they tackle him into a hug and kisses their cheeks. ''Come on, I want the two of you to be the firsts to her.''
Brittany smiles running her hand over his Mohawk as she hears the excitement in his voice and kisses his cheek. ''Congratulations Noah.'' She whispers softly as he leads them back to the room, she shoots Quinn a loving smile as she looks at them smiling tiredly while running her finger over the little pink bundle in her arms and watches her slowly place the little girl in Santana's arms.
She walks over to the bed and leans down kissing her forehead. ''Congratulations Q.''
''She is perfect B.'' Quinn breaths out smiling tiredly. ''Healthy and perfect, everything we wished for.''
Brittany smiles lovingly leaning down to kiss her head once again and walks around the bed to her fiance, she wraps her arm around her waist from behind and peaks over her shoulder down at the little girl contently settled into her arms. She reaches out gently running her finger over her chubby cheeks and smiles as she yawns cutely. ''Hey princess.'' She murmurs softly.
''You are right, she is perfect.'' Santana murmurs looking down at the little girl in her arms, Puck walks over to them and hums in agreement leaning down to kiss his daughters head.
''And she already loves cuddling into her godmothers arms.''
''Godmothers?'' Brittany asks her eyebrows raising in surprise, Quinn snickers as their best friends look at them in surprise and nods her head.
''You really think we would trust someone else with that task? She will be your goddaughter, if you want to of course.''
''Of course, we will love to be her godmothers.'' Brittany whispers while looking down at the little girl in her fiance's arms.
Santana looks up at her best friends and bites her lip tears filling her eyes as she sees them looking at the little bundle in her arms with a content smile. ''What is her name?''
Puck glances at his girlfriend and nods his head giving her the honor after she told him that he can drop the bomb that they will be their little girls godmother, Quinn locks eyes with their best friends and smiles lovingly. ''Bethany Marie Puckerman.''
''Bethany?'' Brittany asks at the same time Santana asks.
''Marie?''
Quinn nods her head holding her hand out and grabs both of their hands the second they shuffle closer. ''We couldn't have done any of this without you.'' She whispers softly, she looks up at Santana and bites her lip with a small smile. ''San you stood by my side the whole pregnancy and always listened to me bitching about my body while trying to help me get rid of those thoughts every damn time, you also helped me decorate Beth's room and was available for the both of us whenever we needed to talk to someone.''
She turns to Brittany and bites her lip. ''B you are so goddamn selfless and words can't even describe how grateful I am to call you my best friend, you drove I don't know how many miles to grab chocolate I was craving because it was sold out here and Puck had to work. You drove me to appointments whenever he had to work and helped him paint the nursery, I also know that you caught him the second doubts started filling his head and joined him during daddy to be classes even before you found out Santana was expecting.''
''Princess will know how much the both of you love her just like we know how much you love us, the both of you are our best friends but also our family.'' Puck adds smiling tearfully as he sees tears streaming down their cheeks, he pulls Brittany in a hug and kisses her cheek leaning over to also kiss Santana's cheek. ''We can't thank the both of you enough for what you did but we will definitely do our bests to give the same back to you whenever you need us, family forever right?''
''Definitely Noah.'' Brittany breaths out pulling out of the hug, she takes the little girl from her fiance so she can hug their best friends and looks down at her smiling lovingly as she sees her yawn once again.
She runs her finger down her cheek biting her lip as she feels her little hand wrap around her pointer finger and leans down kissing her little forehead as she feels Santana wrap her arms around her waist from behind. ''We love you little B.'' She murmurs softly not noticing Puck snapping a picture of them.
Puck sits down beside Quinn showing her the picture he just took and leans down to kiss her softly. ''I love you.'' He murmurs softly.
Quinn slowly takes his phone and looks up at him smiling lovingly. ''I love you too baby.'' She turns back to the phone after cuddling into his side allowing their best friends a few minutes to just spend with Beth before she wakes up and opens their friend chat knowing Maribel, Lio and Susan are in it too, she sends the picture into the chat and types out a message.
To crazies and parents: We want you all to meet Bethany Marie Puckerman, born this morning 5.30 and she is just perfect. She is currently loving the cuddle time with her godparents before the next feeding, we are looking out to you all meeting her. Love you all.
She sends the message giving Puck his phone back as Beth starts crying and takes her from Brittany, she laughs as Brittany looks away the second she whips her boob out and shakes her head. ''Get used to seeing the girls as long as she needs them B.''
Santana burst out laughing as she sees the tip of her fiance's ears turn red and leans up to kiss her quickly reddening cheeks. ''Oh baby.''
Puck smirks teasingly and shoots his best friend a wink as she looks at him trying to avoid watching his daughter eat. ''Just like Q said, get used to is B this will happen more often around the both of you but everyone else will be kicked out.''
''Well.'' Brittany clears her throat and rubs the back of her neck chuckling. ''Not everyone needs to see Q's girls.''
Santana shakes her head in amusement seeing the uncomfortable smile on Brittany's face knowing she will need a bit to get used to it and pats her stomach softly. ''We will let the two of you enjoy little B alone, I need to get this one down to check her hand out.''
''Why?'' Quinn asks confused, Puck turns to her and snickers.
''She did that one thing Dr Jack warned all of us for babe.''
''Shit you held my hand?'' Quinn asks shocked. ''When?!''
Brittany laughs and shrugs. ''I did and it was worth it to see you calming down the second you could get rid of a bit of pain so don't blame yourself and I did it the second we walked into the room and a contraction hit.''
''Please let them check it out, I didn't even notice that I held your hand B.'' Quinn murmurs pouting, Brittany shakes her hand walking over to her and kisses the top of her head.
''Get rid of those thoughts before I kick your ass the second you are healed up Fabray, I'll be fine.'' She turns to Puck and hugs him kissing his cheek. ''We will quickly drive home to change after that we will go to your apartment and clean up so the both of you don't have to.''
''You don't have to, I will go as soon as they fall asleep and also grab some clothes for all of us.'' Puck murmurs softly, Brittany shakes her head and smiles.
''No stay here and enjoy it Noah, text us what you all need and we will bring it.''
Puck nods his head knowing he can't argue with her and kisses her cheek. ''I will, love you B.'' He hugs Santana as she walks into his arms after she hugged Q and kisses her cheek. ''See you later San, love you.''
Santana smiles and pulls out of the hug after kissing his cheek. ''We love you guys too.''
