''Britty!''
Santana looks up from her conversation with Susan, Cedes, Puck and Carl as she hears Mateo squeal Brittany's name and smiles lovingly as she sees Brittany crouching down in the doorway hugging Mateo tightly with Jake standing behind her.
''And?'' They all ask as Brittany walks over to Santana after kissing her moms cheek, she drops down in Santana's lap with Mateo still in her arms and chuckles as she grunts softly.
She bites her lip as Jake just shrugs his shoulders and sighs. ''They have too much things to grade, so they will call us.'' She murmurs after pecking Santana's lips, she cuddles into her smiling as Mateo just cuddles into her chest. ''So we have to wait.'' She groans out.
''I hate waiting.'' Jake grumbles as he sits down beside his brother and Mercedes, Susan chuckles and nods her head.
''I think we can all understand that.'' She tells them with a small smile. ''But maybe you don't have to wait long.''
Santana hums softly so only Brittany hears her and kisses the top of her head as she leans back, she smiles as Brittany just adjusts to the position noticing Mateo just enjoy their arms wrapped around him and kisses his head. ''What do you think?''
''I don't know, feeling is bad though.'' Brittany murmurs with a sigh, she kicks her feet up on the couch feeling Santana's hand run up her back and pulls Mateo closer smiling as he kisses her cheek before nuzzling his face against her shoulder.
Susan just watches them chuckling as she notices her daughter quickly drifting off the sleep and shakes her head in amusement. ''Well that is one way to pass time.'' She muses, Santana laughs softly as she continues running her hand up and down her girlfriends back and smiles slightly.
''She didn't sleep that well last night, but her body will relax during her nap and.'' She reaches into Brittany's back pocket to take her phone out and taps the screen twice. ''She has her phone on loud so we can all hear her ringtone.''
''Something is different between the both of you.'' Jake breaths out as he eyes them with an eyebrow raised.
''Because B is sitting on San's lap instead of San sitting on hers?'' Mercedes asks in amusement. ''Sometimes B needs cuddles too J.''
''No not that.'' Jake breaths out chuckling. ''B had a completely new spring in her step the whole day and nothing managed to make the smile leave her lips.'' He tells them, he locks eyes with Santana and raises an eyebrow. ''You managed to distract her last night?''
Santana rolls her eyes as he waggles his eyebrows and turns to Mercedes. ''Can you please hit him?'' She thanks her as he does and shoots Jake a soft glare as he groans. ''I did manage to distract her, but not the way you think.''
Susan tilts her head as she watches them and suddenly sits up with a big smile as she sees the happy sparkle in Santana's eyes. ''No way.''
''What is it mami?'' They all quiet down hearing Mateo's soft question and watch Santana lean down to kiss his head and whisper something, Santana chuckles as immediately sits up with a big grin and holds a finger up to her lips.
''Don't wake Britty.'' She whispers, she nods her head to the group after he kissed her cheek with a big grin and chuckles. ''But you can tell them.''
''Mami and Britty are girlfriends!'' He immediately squeals out, Santana bites her lip hearing Brittany's soft grumble and chuckles as she wraps her arm around Mateo's waist to pull him close.
''We are.'' She hears her tiredly confirm. ''Come cuddle bud.'' She laughs softly as Mateo immediately relaxes back against them and looks up as she feels two hands on her shoulders, she smiles as Susan leans down to kiss her cheek after kissing Brittany's head and just reaches up to squeeze her hand.
''You just couldn't wait huh?'' Susan asks in amusement.
''When did that happen?'' Mercedes asks with a big grin.
''I tried but after a slip up we started to talk about it.'' Santana replies glancing at Susan as she walks back to the love seat to cuddle into Carl's side, she turns to Mercedes and smiles slightly.
''Last night, you heard Britt's new song?'' She chuckles as she nods her head and runs her hand down Brittany's back. ''I heard it on my way here and opted to ask her about it after today, but we both slipped up calling each other baby so we talked about it last night and well you hear the outcome.''
''Who asked who?'' Puck asks grinning, he winks as Santana turns to him and smiles. ''I am happy for the both of you.''
''Britt asked.'' Santana murmurs with a grin, she nuzzles her nose in soft blonde locks as the group just smile brightly and smiles as she feels Brittany intertwine their hands on Mateo's stomach.
She listens to the group trying to distract Jake and gently runs her fingers over the small of Brittany's back under the shirt she wears, she smiles as she locks eyes with Mateo as he just looks up with a happy grin playing on his lips and kisses his nose. ''What do you say to staying here for the weekend mijo?'' She asks softly knowing she already discussed it with Mercedes.
''Really?'' Mateo whispers with a big grin, he nods his head as she hums and smiles brightly. ''Yes please, I want to spend more time with Britty, I missed her.''
''I know you did.'' She murmurs softly against the top of his head. ''We will stay here till Sunday.'' She promises, she chuckles as he just smiles brightly and closes her eyes just enjoying the feeling of her girlfriend and her son cuddled into her while the others talk softly.
Two hours later.
Santana looks up from her phone as she hears a phone ring loudly and turns to Jake after glancing at her girlfriends phone, she feels Brittany stir running her hand down her back as she feels her tiredly sit up and watches Jake answer the call after taking a deep breath.
She turns to Brittany as she feels her intertwine their hands in Mateo's lap and squeezes it softly with a small smile. ''He passed.'' Brittany whispers with a grin as she sees the sparkle in Jake's eyes, Santana hums softly tapping Mateo's leg silently telling him to slide off and stands up with Brittany as Jake ends the call with a big grin.
''And?'' Brittany asks grinning.
''3.1 GPA and scored all credits!'' He cheers. ''I passed!''
Santana stands back watching Brittany, Puck and Susan tackle Jake in a hug and smiles lovingly as she hears the pride in their voices as they gratulate him, she walks over to him with Mercedes as they pull back and hugs him after Carl did. ''That's amazing J, congrats.'' She breaths out.
''Thanks girls.'' Jake breaths out, she smiles as he turns to Mercedes thanking her for her help and turns to Brittany as she hears the all too familiar ringtone.
''Oh hell.'' She hears her grumble as she grabs her phone, she turns her head as she feels an arm wrap around her shoulder and smiles as Susan locks eyes with her.
''What do you think?'' Susan asks softly.
''She passed too.'' Santana murmurs. ''I am just curious what grade.'' She turns back to Brittany as Susan nods her head and bites her lip as she watches her drop back onto the couch with her head down, she tilts her head as she hears her thank the person on the phone a few times and bites her lip as she ends the call throwing the phone beside her on the couch.
''And?'' Susan asks still standing beside Santana, Brittany slowly looks up still in shock and licks her lips.
''I just graduated summa cum laude.'' She breaths out in surprise, she runs a hand down her face as several jaws around her just drop and covers her mouth with a shake of her head. ''4.0 GPA, scored all credits and the bonus credits too.''
She yelps as her mom rushes to her yanking her up into her arms and just drops her head on her shoulder as she feels her arms wrap tightly around her waist. ''I am so proud of you sweetheart.'' Susan murmurs kissing her temple. ''Congratulations!''
She just smiles as she feels the boys join the hug and closes her eyes as they congratulate her with a big happy grin. ''Thank you.'' She murmurs, she pulls out of the hug smiling as Mercedes hugs her tightly and just hugs her back thanking her softly as also congratulates her.
Santana walks over with Mateo as soon as Mercedes stepped back and hugs her girlfriend tightly. ''So proud of you babe.'' She murmurs against her temple as she feels her head land on her shoulders and her arms wrap around her and Mateo. ''Congratulations.''
''Congratulations Britty!'' Mateo squeaks with a big grin, Brittany chuckles and kisses his head murmuring a soft thank you. She turns to Santana dipping her head to kiss her softly, smiling as Mateo just nuzzles his face against her shoulder and pulls back leaning their foreheads together.
''The learning session this morning was the best.'' She murmurs. ''All bonus questions were about the things we read through this morning San, thank you for that.''
''Anytime.'' Santana murmurs with a grin, she pulls back as she hears a loud pop and chuckles as Carl walks over with two bottles of non alcoholic champagne. She steps back so he can congratulate Brittany too and takes the two glasses Susan holds out for her, she hands Brittany hers as soon as she steps back beside her and chuckles as Carl hands Mateo a flute with apple juice.
Carl holds his glass up after he made sure everyone has a drink and shoots Brittany and Jake a wink. ''Congratulations teens, now it's time to face the future!''
''Cheers!'' Everyone calls out chuckling, Brittany laughs taking a sip of her glass and scrunches up her nose.
''Okay no.'' She murmurs, she holds her glass out for Santana and crouches down beside Mateo. ''Can I have a small sip buddy?'' She smiles as he just nods his head with a big grin and takes his glass flipping the group off as they chuckle, she hands his glass back after taking a small sip and kisses his head. ''So much better.''
''When is the ceremony?'' Mercedes asks curiously.
''Somewhere next week.'' Jake replies. ''But B and I won't go like Puck didn't go to his.''
''Why?'' Mercedes asks frowning in confusion.
''Too many people and now there is also a big chance that people will talk.'' Brittany explains. ''They promised to keep quiet until graduation but I am sure one or two are just waiting to blurt it out.''
''So you are just waiting for it to come out and the stress to start?'' Mercedes asks as they all sit back down, Susan chuckles as her daughter just hums with a shrug of her shoulders and leans forward after exchanging a glance with her boyfriend and Puck.
''Sweetheart do you know your schedule for next week?''
''Yeah I have a interview with Ellen next week Friday, but nothing else planned why?'' Brittany asks in confusion.
''Where is Ellen located?'' Carl asks.
''Burbank.'' Brittany, Mercedes and Santana murmurs in unison.
Susan nods her head and smiles slightly. ''You don't have anything else planned, why don't you take a week long vacation in Cali?''
Santana smiles slightly as Brittany turns to her and intertwines their hands. ''You are always welcome to stay babe.'' She chuckles as Mateo immediately nods his head in agreement and turns to Susan. ''Will all of you join us for a week?'' She asks curiously as Brittany just tells her mom that she will.
''No just B this time.'' Puck replies this time, he turns to his little brother and pats his back. ''You need the week to pack.''
''Pack?'' Jake and Brittany asks frowning in confusion.
''Yeah we are moving.'' Puck replies. ''Not only Jake and I though.'' he adds quickly as Brittany frowns.
''We all are sweetheart.'' Susan breaths out noticing the complete confusion on her daughters face. ''We will use next week to move so nobody finds out that you are moving with us and where to.''
''We are moving?'' Brittany asks slowly, Carl nods his head and smiles.
''Your mom and I thought long and hard about this and also pulled Puck into our plan because we knew you wouldn't want to live Springville without them, your studio is in Nashville and so is the airport that offers a flight to LA so.''
''The three of us decided to move to Nashville, Carl and I can continue our careers there, the boys are working full time for you and Kane also knows so he only has Ellen's interview scheduled for you but everything else comes after you settled in.''
''So your mom and Carl bought a house in a safe neighborhood also known under other celebrities, Kane is one of your neighbors by the way.'' Puck breaths out chuckling. ''And Jake and I have rented an apartment two minutes away from the house, we would never stay here without you B just like you will never leave without us but our careers are mostly based in Nashville so why not move and start completely new and focus on our future?''
''The three of you are crazy, you know that?'' Brittany asks softly.
Susan locks eyes with her and smiles. ''Now after graduation nothing forces us to stay here sweetheart and I think after everything we went through, a new start in bigger city sounds pretty damn good, don't you think?''
''It does.'' Brittany agrees softly. ''Are you sure you don't need me here to help?''
''Nope you go and enjoy the week with Santana and Mateo.'' Carl tells her grinning. ''It's time that the both of you see each other longer than just for a week, we can handle moving everything and Kane also offered his help.''
Brittany just stands up after squeezing Santana's hand softly and walks over to them, she drops in her moms lap chuckling as she groans and hugs her tightly pulling Carl into the hug too. ''That sounds amazing, thank you so much for supporting me like you do.''
''No need to thank us honey.'' Susan murmurs kissing her cheek.
''Nope never thank us for that B.'' Carl agrees grinning as he pats her thigh. ''I am looking forward to all the crazy things we will do in Nashville though.''
Brittany laughs as her mom groans and turns to look at the boys as she feels their arms around her. ''Oh we need to show him the lake.'' She breaths out smirking.
''Oh yeah.'' Puck agrees chuckling.
Susan rolls her eyes and turns to the girls as she hears her daughter, the boys and Carl talk about all the things they can do. ''I might ditch them and come visit the both of you more often.''
Santana laughs and shrugs. ''You are more than welcome Susan, C and I both have a room for you so you can enjoy a week without any crazy people around you.''
''Crazy?'' Brittany asks turning to her with an eyebrow raised, Mateo giggles and nods his head.
''Si, you are crazy Britty.''
Santana laughs as Brittany just grumbles and shoots her a wink. ''You can't even deny it babe, we all know that you are and it only intensifies around Carl and the boys.'' She grunts as she drops back down in her lap and wraps her arms around her waist. ''But we like that, right mijo?''
''Si!'' Mateo agrees giggling as he cuddles into Brittany's chest, Brittany chuckles and shakes her head.
''The two of you are just as crazy, add Cedes into the mix and you are even worse than the boys and I.''
''Like hell we are.'' Mercedes scoffs out, she throws one of the pillows behind her back in her direction and laughs loudly as she hits her face, her eyes widen as she turns to her with an eyebrow raised and quickly jumps up as she tries to stand up. ''Hell no, Snixx get yo girl!''
Santana laughs tightening her hold around Brittany's waist and kisses her shoulder. ''Nu-uh we still need Aretha, please leave her in one piece.''
Brittany just grumbles and shoots Mercedes a soft glare. ''I will for now, don't forget that I am staying in LA next week C.'' She laughs as she gulps thickly and winks. ''Oh this is gonna be fun.''
Mercedes shakes her head and locks eyes with her best friend. ''You are on your own next week.''
Santana laughs and shakes her head. ''She knows where you live C.'' She points out teasingly, she chuckles as she groans and shrugs. ''You will survive.''
''We also have a key.'' Mateo breaths out giggling. ''Britty can just take that one.''
Santana burst out laughing as Mercedes's jaw drops and shakes her head. ''Oh mijo, that is mean.''
Brittany laughs as Mateo just smiles brightly as he leans back against her chest and kisses the top of his head. ''We will make sure your mami and aunt C will build up amazing stomach muscles because that laughed that much.'' She chuckles as he nods his head with a big smile and turns to the girls as her mom and Carl excuse themselves to order dinner. ''Do the two of you have anything planned next week Friday?''
''Two cakes and probably some orders for lunch, but I don't have anything planned in the evening.'' Santana replies softly as Mercedes just shakes her head. ''Why?''
''I am always allowed to bring people with me, want to join me to the interview?'' Brittany asks softly. ''I am sure Ellen has an area backstage where you can sit and watch the interview or I can ask three tickets so you can sit in the audience.''
''Are you serious?'' Mercedes asks in surprise as Santana just turns to Brittany in shock, Brittany nods her head and chuckles.
''I am, Kate will also be there but she already told me that I can bring whoever I want.''
''Hell yes we will join.'' Mercedes breaths out grinning. ''But we can buy the tickets ourselves B.''
''Why buy when I get them for no charge?'' Brittany asks with an eyebrow raised. ''So audience seats yes?'' She turns to her girlfriend as Mercedes nods her head and smiles as she also nods her head, she looks down at Mateo and taps his nose with a grin. ''Do you know what that means Mat?''
''You can dance again.'' She breaths out as he tilts his head. ''I have to sing a song but I don't know which one I will do yet, want to help me pick one out during the week?''
Santana bites her lip as Mateo excitedly nods his head and turns to look at Mercedes, she licks her lips as she just forms a heart with her hands acting like it's thudding fast and slightly nods her head silently confirming that her heart is indeed beating fast.
She tightens her hold around her son and Brittany as they continue talking about some songs and just leans back listening to them talk and Mercedes talk to the boys about the apartment Puck rented, she bites her lip as she hears her sons soft sweet giggles as Brittany tickles him and shakes her head with an adoring grin.
Next week will be amazing, She thinks softly to herself.
