''But what do you want?''
Brittany licks her lips as soft brown orbs scan her face and smiles slightly turning her hand so she can intertwine her hand with Santana's, she gently tugs her even closer, placing the hand still holding her drink on the small of her back above the jacket she wears and slowly leans down.
''This.'' She breaths out allowing her breath to ghost over plump lips, she closes the small gap between them as she feels Santana's hot sweet breath hitting her cold skin and slowly captures her lips with her own after watching her eyes flicker down to her lips.
She tugs her even closer with the hand on the small of her back as the fireworks still lightning up the sky above them appear even brighter behind her closed eyes and exhales slowly through her nose as Santana tilts her head slightly plump lips gliding smoothly over her own.
She shivers as cold fingers slide up the side of her neck to cup her jaw and pulls back with a soft chuckle as she feels Santana smile into the kiss, she leans their foreheads together watching Santana's eyes slowly flutter open. ''I just want this.'' She whispers breathlessly. ''This feeling, the warmth you cause me to feel and the happiness you and Mateo both wake inside of me.''
Santana smiles lovingly still cupping her jaw and tilts her chin up to kiss her cheek near the corner of her mouth. ''And you have it.'' She murmurs. ''As much as I tried fighting it in the beginning, only thinking of the bad things, you showed me that some doubts were quite stupid.''
''Nothing is stupid.'' Brittany breaths out, she rubs her hands together and smiles sheepishly. ''Well almost nothing, standing outside in only a long sleeve is just me being an idiot again.''
Santana giggles and shakes her head. ''Let's go inside, I am sure Mat is in bed already.'' She squeezes the hand she still holds softly and smiles reasuringly. ''Mercedes wanted to tuck him in tonight and I am sure he told her that he can sleep in the master bedroom tonight so the boys can sleep in his room.'' She leads her into the building and locks eyes with her the second they stepped into the elevator. ''Besides I wanted to have a few minutes alone with you and I think he understands after the three surprises within twenty-four hours.''
''I honestly had no idea how to tell you what I feel, so I penned it down and recorded it with the intention to show it to you before publishing.'' Brittany murmurs with a shy grin. ''Carrie asked me if I wanted to sing it during the show but I told her that I would think about it, the day I received the necklace and after we talked on the phone, I just knew that I didn't want to wait and told her that we can sing it.''
''You wrote that one pretty fast, didn't you?'' Santana asks softly as she unlocks the front door, Brittany chuckles following her into the apartment and nods her head.
''Only needed a week and Carrie helped me so it really is our song and not only mine.''
Santana hums walking into the living room still keeping their hands intertwined and raises an eyebrow as she immediately feels the tension. ''What's up with all of you?'' She asks frowning noticing the three of them glaring down at their phones. ''And where is dad?''
''Dad went to bed and I tucked Mat in shortly after we went up.'' Mercedes replies, she holds her phone out for Santana and growls. ''Just look at this.''
''B!'' Brittany turns to Puck as he calls out her name and sighs placing her glass down to take his phone not wanting to let go of Santana's hand, she looks down raising an eyebrow as she notices the post that made him angry and scoffs.
Quinn Fabray: Yo any friends of mine who love a good story? I know where the award winner Brittany lives!
''Fuck no, she won't.'' Santana growls out throwing Mercedes's phone back onto the seat beside her, she leans forward grabbing her own phone off of the table still keeping her hand intertwined with Brittany's and scrolls down her contacts.
''Hold up the both of you know her?'' Brittany asks in confusion as she turns to Santana and Mercedes.
''Will tell you in a bit, bitch ain't ruining my night.'' Santana growls out as she puts her phone on speaker, she takes Brittany's glass taking a big gulp and hands it back to her completely missing the amused look the boys and Britt exchange.
''Satan, to what do I owe this pleasure?''
Santana just rolls her eyes, squeezing Brittany's hand softly as she notices the look she shoots her and sighs. ''What's up with you trying to spill secrets of someone again Lucy?''
''It's Quinn.''
''No you are still the bitch I met in the past, you will always be Lucy now spill.''
''It's none of your business Santana.''
''Would you like people spilling your secrets? If so just tell me, I am sure some folks from school would love hearing what really went down during your two month student exchange.''
''You wouldn't..''
''Watch me, why are you trying to ruin a girls chance on a normal life?'' She asks with an eyebrow raised. ''How do you even know her?''
''She is my fiance's daughter.'' Brittany blinks turning to the boys and frowns 'Fiance?' she mouths.
''Fiance?'' Santana asks noticing the confusion on everyone's faces.
''Well not yet, but I found the ring he bought so yes soon to be fiance.''
''And what did that girl do to you, to deserve her secrets being spilled out into the open?''
''That girl will know.'' Quinn scoffs out. ''She fucking embarrassed me.''
''Embarrassed you?'' Santana asks trying to hide the amusement in her voice. ''I am listening.''
Brittany just shakes her head as she hears Quinn take a deep breath and grabs her glass. ''Little bitch came over in the middle of the night to scream at her dad because I begged him to fight for full custody, I just wanted her to enjoy her life here with me while he worked and train her to be his little princess like I am his queen.''
Santana sucks in her lips as Brittany chokes on her drink as she burst out laughing and quickly reaches over to cover her mouth to muffle it, she glances over at Mercedes trying hard to bite back her own laughter and shakes her head as she notices her covering her mouth with both hands to muffle her own laughter and the boys both biting down on their fists.
She clears her throat as Quinn continues rambling about the good life she had to offer Brittany and shakes her head. ''Maybe she doesn't want all of that Lucy.'' She keeps her hand over Brittany's mouth still hearing her sweet laughter and shakes her head hearing Quinn's scoff.
''I don't care.'' She rolls her eyes hearing the arrogant tone and turns to her phone.
''Tell you what Lucy.'' She breaths out. ''The second you spill the address, I will contact her and spill the deeds on you let's see who reaches more people.''
''Like she will react to your message.'' Quinn scoffs out. ''No celebrity will ever read a message from someone like you Santana.''
''Awe there comes the jealousy I missed.'' Santana sneers. ''You still mad that I managed to live my life and raise my little boy while you had to give your little girl away because you spread your legs every time someone offered money?''
She leans forward hearing her soft growl through the speaker still keeping a hold on Brittany's hand and smirks. ''Had to fuck less, smoke less and care more Lucy.'' She breaths out the sneer clear in her voice. ''The only thing you found success in is jumping from rich guy to rich guys living off of their money and serving tables from time to time, you graduated high school at the age of twenty-one and just graduated college.'' She breaths out in amusement.
''Fuck you Satan.''
Santana just laughs and leans back crossing her legs. ''Do me a favor and google something will you?'' She glances at Brittany and winks. ''Google Kane Brown's concert featuring Brittany in LA.''
She rolls her head back as she hears nails ticking on the phone and snickers hearing her breathing hitch. ''Sounds like you found it.'' She breaths out feeling Brittany's thumb draw circles on the back of her hand. ''Now back to my threat, I am almost one hundred percent sure that Brittany or Kane will open one of my messages thinking it's coming from my little boy so.''
She lifts her head back up to glance at her phone making sure Quinn is still on the line and smirks. ''Post her address and I will make sure she will know every damn thing about your life.''
''You are only doing this because you are jealous, you always did.'' Quinn scoffs out, Santana rolls her eyes and snickers.
''Okay humor me, what is my reason to be jealous of you?'' She looks up hearing a soft tap on the table and leans forward as Jake just turns his phone so they can see it, she nods her head as she sees that Quinn deleted it and turns back to her phone chuckling as she sees that Quinn is still on the phone but just not talking.
''Can't find a reason huh?'' She asks in amusement as she leans back cuddling into Brittany's side. ''Let me reword my question, why would I be jealous of a twenty-six year old who graduated high school at the age of twenty-one, someone who never had any success in life unless it was to fuck one of her professors or some other rich guy searching for an easy fuck, or of someone who lost her kid because of her own stupid mistakes?''
''I have money.'' Quinn tries.
''I do too.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''And you don't have money, your toy has. I have my own money, I don't need people to give me shit because I work for everything that my son or I need.''
''Fuck you Santana.''
''Unlike my dad, Santana has standards and absolutely no desire to catch the std's you spread around like a wildfire.'' Brittany breaths out before she can stop herself, she bites her lip as Santana turns to her in shock while Mercedes, Puck and Jake fail to muffle their laughter this time and just locks eyes with Santana shrugging her shoulders with a sheepish grin.
''Brittany?!''
''The one and only.'' Brittany replies dryly turning back to the phone on the table. ''Tell me Quinn, the world needs a song about a deadbeat mother don't you think?'' She tilts her head as she hears her stutter and smirks. ''I already have half of the song in my head after hearing everything Santana listed up, want me to sing it for you?''
''Brittany, sweetie listen.'' Quinn tries sweetly.
''No you listen.'' Brittany breaths out after taking a sip of her drink. ''If I hear one more thing from you about me, my mom, or any of my friends Santana and Mercedes included, I will publish a song with a statement that it's about someone close to my dad. People who know how to do research, will immediately find out that it's about you and spread your name around the web.''
''Leave me, my family and friends alone Quinn.'' She warns as she hears her soft gulp. ''Live your life with my dad, marry him for all I care but leave me out of it.'' She tells her after taking another sip, she hands Santana her glass so she can drink the rest and takes the phone off of the table. ''Now if you excuse me, I have absolutely no interest in wasting my time on how did you call it, a nobody?''
She ends the call before Quinn can reply and hands Santana her phone back, Santana shakes her head throwing it onto the empty cushion beside her and turns to look at Brittany with an eyebrow raised. ''What was that?''
''Damn girl.'' Mercedes just laughs out. ''I would have paid a fortune to see her face after your insult, that was priceless!''
Brittany chuckles as she boys just lean forward to fist bump her with a proud grin and leans back after her fist graced theirs, she shrugs her shoulders and smiles slightly. ''I already thought one of them would try to get some kind of attention doing something like this, mom and I already had a plan for if they succeeded though but I am pretty sure she won't try it again.''
''Nope you definitely scared her.'' Mercedes breaths out laughing. ''No one but San and I know about her kid, the second word gets out and the baby daddy does the count she will be sued for leaving him in the dark.''
''We sadly don't know his name, if we had he would already know what shit she pulled off.'' Santana grumbles.
''How did the two of you meet her?'' Brittany asks curiously.
''C and I both grew up in Lima, same goes for Lucy.'' Santana explains. ''I met her during cheerleader tryouts, the coach already knew her and promised her the head cheerleader position but in the end she decided to give it to me.''
''Lucy was Seventeen during our first year of high school, nobody really knows why she started two years later but she did and apparently coach knew her because she was head cheerleader one year long during her first try at high school.''
''The rumor I heard was that she sat in jail for fraud.'' Mercedes tells them shrugging. ''I just never asked and I didn't really care, Lucy was never our friend but along the years we had so much to do with her that we had to exchange phone numbers and we only have her on social media to make fun of her.''
''What is her real name, Lucy or Quinn?'' Jake asks curiously.
''Lucy, but she changed her name to Quinn.'' Santana answers chuckling. ''She will always stay Lucy for me though, it's pissing her off and I like that.''
''Did you know that she was the same person I told you about during our weekend?'' Brittany asks curiously, Santana shakes her head noticing Mercedes do the same and sighs.
''We had a hunch but we didn't want to voice it because it could have been someone entirely else too.'' She replies softly. ''Lucy is fixated on having a family of her own but it's not because she wants a kid, no she wants the attention she will get having a child, someone who will be just like her and will ensure her enough money to live from.''
''The only thing she talked about was money and what she could do when she had a lot, she slept through college with several professors to make sure she would graduate.'' Mercedes continues. ''That girl will do everything, you just have to offer enough cash.''
''What happened to her kid?'' Puck asks curiously.
''Youth care took her out of the house six months after Lucy gave birth, bitch left the kid alone with a ten year old forcing the kid to keep an eye on the baby while she went out with some dude and spread her legs for money.'' Santana scoffs out.
''Was that during..'' Brittany cuts herself off as she locks eyes with Santana noticing the anger and bites her lip, Santana nods her head and sighs.
''I was six months pregnant, after C and I heard what happened we made sure she never managed to take one step towards Mat.''
''Bitch is unpredictable.'' Mercedes grumbles. ''She only has money on her mind and doesn't care about anything else.'' She turns to Brittany and forces a grin. ''Be glad that you are a teen and that you can decide where you want to stay Britt.''
Brittany laughs and shrugs. ''I would have decided at the age of ten too, I don't think Quinn's relationship with my dad will hold.''
''Why is that?'' Mercedes asks as Santana also turns to Brittany with a curious look on her face.
''His only income is the restaurant and ever since he hired new waitresses and fired the older women because they didn't fit to his standards, the restaurant lost lots of customers who only came for them to just sit and enjoy that they took the time to talk to them.'' Brittany explains. ''Our town is small and mostly filled with older people, they always love to mingle with people so that he took that from them and hired younger women to make more money didn't work out.''
''Now they all just join ma and sit around her lounge drinking coffee and mingle with her, after a group photo she always posts to her website they leave and pick up something from the deli around the corner for lunch.'' Puck adds in amusement.
''I have a question.'' Mercedes breaths out, Brittany chuckles and turns to her.
''Shoot.''
''It's a small town right?'' She nods her head and hums softly. ''How the hell did you manage that absolutely nobody mentioned anything about you?''
''Mom and I just asked them to keep it down for now.'' Brittany answers shrugging, she wraps her arm around Santana's waist as she feels her scoot closer and smiles slightly as she leans her head on her shoulder. ''Mom and I both have a pretty good name around the town, everyone knows that if they need something that they can come to us and we will try our best to help them out, that way we earned a lot of respect and everyone agreed to just shut up and even forced their kids, also the ones that don't like me to keep it down.''
''There are people who don't like you?'' Mercedes asks in amusement. ''Why?''
''Well two don't like her because they have a crush on her and B doesn't acknowledge them at all.'' Jake breaths out in amusement.
''And the cheerleaders don't like her because she turned several girls down during her time on the team, they all love popularity and dating B would only boost it but B didn't and still doesn't give a fuck about being popular or not.''
''I am just going to school to graduate.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''I don't give a flying fuck about anyone but the both of you in that building.'' She glances at Santana and smiles shyly. ''Hell dating wasn't even a part of my thoughts until I met San.''
''That's cute.'' Mercedes breaths out chuckling as Santana just hides her blushing face against Brittany's shoulder. ''But really, you never thought of dating someone before?''
''I went on a date once or twice during my time on the football team.'' She nods her head to the boys and chuckles. ''Mostly joining them because they wanted a double date, but.'' She licks her lips as the boys laugh and shrugs feeling Santana's eyes burning in the side of her head. ''I did more with them then I did with my dates.'' She breaths out.
''Britt would just sit there, eat her dinner and engage in some small talk.'' Jake breaths out chuckling. ''She didn't even hold her date's hand or anything, after those dates we almost always agreed to hangout at the house and the second we walked in we just popped in a movie and cuddled up together on the couch until Susan came home.''
''How old were you when you had your first kiss?'' Mercedes asks curiously.
''Who?'' Brittany asks chuckling.
''All of you.'' Santana breaths out laughing as she cuddles back into her side.
''Twelve.'' Both boys reply chuckling.
''Fourteen and it sucked.'' Brittany breaths out scrunching up her nose. ''It was during a round of truth or dare, I had to kiss the girl that is still crushing on me and right after I had my first taste of Tennessee to erase everything.''
Mercedes laughs and nods her head. ''Same, I was fourteen too.''
''Thirteen.'' Santana breaths out snickering as they all turn to her.
''Age during your first time?'' Jake asks.
''What are we fifteen?'' Brittany asks. ''Why the hell do we play the question game.''
''Fifteen.'' Puck just replies chuckling, Mercedes laughs taking a sip of her wine and shrugs.
''Sixteen.''
''Fifteen.'' Santana sighs out with a forced smile.
''Fifteen.'' Jake breaths out, Brittany groans as they all turn to her with an eyebrow raised and leans forward snatching the glass out of Jake's hand as she notices that he still has a bit of pure whiskey in it. She downs it ignoring his protesting whine and bites her lip.
''I am tired.'' She turns to Santana trying to ignore the blush trying to creep up her cheeks and bites her lip. ''Can I borrow something to sleep in?'' Santana nods her head watching on in confusion as she stands up excusing herself to go to the bathroom and turns back to the three still seated.
''Wha…'' She cuts herself off as it down in on her and rubs her forehead. ''Oh..''
''What is it?'' Puck asks in confusion, Santana just shakes her head and stands up. ''I will go to bed too.'' She murmurs walking over to Mercedes to kiss her cheek. ''Will you show them where to find everything?''
She thanks her softly as she nods her head and turns on her heels. ''Good night boys.'' She walks out of the living room and down the hall right after they replied and smiles slightly as Brittany walks out of the bathroom as soon as she nears it, she gently takes her hand in her own leading her down the hall to the master bedroom and softly pushes the door open.
''You know you have absolutely no reason to be embarrassed right?'' She asks softly as she leads her over to the closet making sure to keep her voice low so they won't wake up Mateo, she grabs a long shirt and a pair of shorts hoping they fit and holds them out for her.
She points to the bathroom door as Brittany takes them with a soft hum and bites her lip watching her walk into the bathroom the light she turns on showing the blush clear on her face, she quickly takes off her clothes after the door clicked shut and slips into her shirt and shorts she threw on the chair beside the closet.
She crawls into her bed smiling lovingly as she hears her sons soft snores and kisses his head after sliding under the cover, she turns her head as she hears the bedroom door open and softly pats the spot on her sons other side so he can't roll off and injure himself.
She props her head up on her hand as Brittany carefully lays down making sure she won't bump into Mateo and slowly reaches over him to grab her hand as she notices her moving them restlessly. ''Talk to me Britt.'' She whispers softly.
''It's stupid.'' Brittany murmurs softly the shyness clear in her voice.
''Nothing you feel is stupid.'' Santana breaths out using the words she told her outside against her, she chuckles as Brittany just huffs and squeezes her hand softly. ''Stop huffing, I only used your words against you.''
Brittany bites her lip gazing up into the darkness and shrugs feeling Mateo's heat against her right side. ''It's just.'' She cuts herself off turning her head to face Santana even though she can't see her and slowly intertwines their hands as she feels her thumb draw circles on her wrist. ''The boys always came over gushing about god knows what girl they picked up and how good she was.'' She murmurs.
''I didn't or don't want to be a girl like that.'' She continues as she hears Santana's soft sigh ''So I just, I don't know.''
''Sadly teenage boys and some girls are like that and some see girls just as trophies, I am not saying that Jake and Puck are like that, but they are more open and will gush about everything forgetting that not everyone likes to hear it.'' Santana breaths out.
''I know but hearing them talk like that caused me to just.'' Brittany frowns as words swarm through her head and shrugs. ''Wait for someone who thinks I am important and is not only out to be with me for just that?'' She rolls her eyes and scoffs softly. ''Sounds kinda weird.''
''It doesn't.'' Santana reassures. ''It's your body B and you decide when you are ready, nobody else has a say in that.''
''Not everyone thinks so.'' Brittany murmurs.
''Believe me I know.'' Santana breaths out, she squeezes her hand softly as she feels her tense and cracks a smile. ''Just like I told you during that weekend, I regret how it happened and with who but I don't regret the outcome.''
''I know.'' Brittany murmurs, she turns her head as she yawns and groans softly. ''Sorry.''
''It's five in the morning.'' Santana points out softly. ''If I recall you send me a good morning text around four yesterday morning, you are awake for more as a day Britt.'' She murmurs as she turns on her side. ''Go to sleep.''
Brittany hums turning on her side so she is facing her and Mateo and lifts their intertwined hands up to her lips. ''Good night Santana.'' She whispers after kissing her knuckles softly, Santana smiles lovingly gently running her thumb over the back of her hand and leans over her son to kiss Brittany's temple.
''Good night Britt-Britt.''
