To the guest reviewing that it's unrealistic is how Santana reacts, please wait for the next few chapters I hope it will clear things up.
After dinner Santana sits down on the couch with her daughter in her lap and smiles as she plays with her fingers, she leans down kissing her head and hums softly as the typical smell of her daughters shampoo and love fill her nostrils. ''You enjoyed dinner baby girl?''
''Mmmh!'' Bella exclaims rubbing her belly with a big smile, Brittany and Puck both smile lovingly watching the little girl and chuckle.
''I am glad you liked it little B.''
Puck looks at the time and smiles slightly. ''I have to go girls.'' He grabs his jacket slipping it on and walks over to Santana hugging her making sure to not touch the little girl knowing she is quite shy, Brittany raises an eyebrow as he walks over to her kissing her cheek and smirks.
''Got a hot date Puck?''
Puck laughs and shakes his head. ''I wish, but no I promised Jake a game night and his mom invited me over.''
''Have fun Puck.'' Santana says in amusement watching the both interact, Brittany hums in agreement and smiles.
''Yeah have fun Puck, see you tonight?''
''Yeah probably don't stay up though.''
''I won't.'' Brittany mutters rolling her eyes.
''Knowing your sleeping pattern you will still be awake.'' Puck says chuckling, Brittany nods her head and shrugs.
''Blame the army.'' She walks into the kitchen grabbing two bottles of water and fills Bella's sippy cup with water, she turns to Puck and chuckles.
''Go we will be alright.''
Puck nods his head and waves. ''Alright see ya.'' He looks at Bella and smiles kindly. ''Bye Bella.''
Bella lifts her hand waving at him with a shy smile and cuddles into her mami, Brittany walks back into the living room sitting down next to Santana and holds the sippy cup out for Bella. ''Want some water little B?''
Bella nods her head smiling brightly and takes the sippy cup from her, Santana smiles lovingly watching the interaction and bites her lip. ''You are the first person where she is her adorable self in a matter of seconds, normally she is shy like she is around Puck.''
Brittany looks down at the little girl smiling lovingly as big blue eyes look up at her and taps her nose smiling as she giggles, she looks up at Santana and bites her lip. ''How old is she?''
''Two, she will turn three in two months.''
''So you..''
Santana nods her head cutting Brittany off knowing what she wants to say and bites her lip. ''Yeah I gave birth to her a month after turning sixteen.'' She runs a hand through her daughters hair and bites her lip as she snuggles into her sucking on her thumb. ''Not planned but I needed her in my life.''
''Needed?'' Brittany asks softly, Santana nods her head keeping her eyes on her daughter and gulps.
''Yeah she saved my life.'' She looks up at Brittany and sighs. ''Before I found out I was pregnant I was on the verge of taking my life because of everything what happened, but after finding out that I was pregnant I forced myself to live through hell to give her the best childhood I can offer her.''
''B!''
Brittany hides her shock at Santana's confession and turns to Bella as she calls her name, she smiles as she holds her arms out for her and glances up at Santana. She takes Bella in her arms as Santana nods her head with a loving smile and places her in her lap running a hand down her back as she snuggles into her. ''You okay little B?''
''Fwiend!'' Bella squeaks out smiling brightly while pointing at her, Brittany smiles and bops her nose laughing as she giggles.
''Do you know what better is as a friend?'' She leans down as Bella shakes her head and strokes her cheek smiling kindly. ''A best friend.'' She stage whispers. ''Want to be mine?''
Santana smiles lovingly watching her daughter nod her head smiling brightly and bites her lip secretly snapping a picture of the two, she sends it in the group chat she has with Q, Em and Jake and types out a message.
Bella found herself a new friend, god the both of them are so adorable together.
''San?'' Brittany asks softly as she notices her typing a message on her phone, she smiles slightly as she hums and adjusts her hold on Bella drifting off to sleep. '' Can I tuck her in?''
Santana looks up smiling lovingly as she sees her daughter drift off to sleep in the blondes arms and slowly nods her head. ''Yeah, can you put two pillows beside her so she can't roll off of your bed?''
She watches Brittany stand up protectively holding onto Bella and watches her walk into the bedroom, she turns back to her phone as it buzzes and reads her friends replies.
Jake: Yeah Puck just told me about it, Bella is adorable!
Fabitch: Oh god that is so cute! I am glad B found you at the park San.
Emster: B loves kids and kids immediately fall in love with her too probably because she oozes a protective vibe, I am glad you are staying there with her and that you are safe San!
She looks back up after sending them an emoji and smiles as Brittany walks out of the room, Brittany sits back down beside her and smiles slightly. ''Well she fell asleep quite quickly.''
Santana nods her head and chuckles. ''Yeah she loves sleep and whenever she feels safe she can fall asleep in a matter of seconds.''
''She is adorable and from what I saw you are an amazing mother Santana.''
Santana bites her lip and smiles slightly. ''I try.''
Brittany takes a sip of her water looking at the teen beside her and bites her lip. ''What went on in your life to give you the urge to end it San?''
Santana gulps looking down at her hands knowing that comment didn't slide past Britt and sighs. ''I don't even know where to start.''
''Start wherever you want if you want to talk, you don't have to if you don't want to Santana we can also just look a movie.''
Santana shakes her head and bites her lip. ''I owe you an explanation Brittany.''
''You owe me nothing Santana, I am not doing this for you to learn more about your life. I am doing this because I want to and because I feel a strange pull to make sure you and now Bella are both safe and happy.''
Santana looks up at her and bites her lip. ''We do feel really protected here and I can't thank you enough for what you did today.''
''You don't have to thank me San.'' Brittany says smiling kindly, Santana nods her head and sighs.
''I don't really know where to start, so I will start at the beginning.'' She looks down at her hands as Brittany nods her head and bites her lip. ''Life with my parents was never easy because they both were or still are busy with their jobs, my dad runs the best law here in town and mom owns a library.'' She starts.
''They both care a lot about what others in this town say and because they are both well known for what they do, I had to do my best to reach their expectations.'' She gulps wringing her hands and shrugs. ''Their expectations were me being the head cheerio, having the best grades and following one of them in their footsteps preferably my dad to take over his firm later on.''
Brittany rolls her eyes hearing Santana describe her parents and sighs softly knowing her parents are the same, Santana looks up at her and shrugs. ''Their expectations were causing so much stress and pressure that I started to crumble and came home with bad grades, that is where the 'punishment' started meaning going to bed without food and getting to know how my dad's belt felt on my back or how hard my mom could slap.''
She turns around looking out of the window and bites her lip. ''It was getting too much for me to handle and a few months after a party where I got drunk and lost my virginity to my first and only boyfriend I bought a couple of pills from a dealer near Puck's garage and kept them in my nightstand for future usage.''
''Fuck San.'' Brittany murmurs shocked.
Santana shrugs her shoulders and sniffles. ''I didn't get to use those pills any sooner because I was at cheerleader camp but had to break it off due to the stomach flu or so I thought, when I came home I realized I hadn't start my period yet and called my boyfriend and told him about it.''
She gulps wiping away the tears streaming down her cheeks and sniffles again. ''He came over with a test and forced me to take it.''
''Hey come here.'' Brittany says softly as she hears her cut herself off with a sob, she slowly pulls Santana in her arms as she turns towards her making sure she feels comfortable and rubs her back. ''You don't have to continue San.''
Santana shakes her head gulping as she feels Brittany's protective arms wrap around her waist and sniffles. ''After I took the test and it came out positive he yelled at me that he didn't want a child and forced me to abort it, I told him I won't do that and broke up with him telling him that he doesn't have to help me raise my child and that I don't want his money either as far as everyone knows Bella's dad is unknown and he moved to another country soon after.''
She buries her face in Brittany's shoulder tears streaming down her cheeks and bites back a sob. ''My parents were at home that day and overheard everything, so after he left they stormed into my room and yelled at my also trying to force me to abort my child because they can't raise a pregnant teenage daughter.''
Brittany shakes her head in disbelief and runs her hand down Santana's back looking down at her as she bites back a sob. ''San stop, you don't have to continue.''
Santana glances up into Brittany's angry blue orbs and bites her lip. ''I want to.'' She breaths out softly, she looks back down at her hands still in Brittany's hold as she slowly nods her head and sighs. ''After I told them that I won't abort my own child or give it up for adoption hell really started, they ignored me didn't buy any groceries and whenever I was in pain or sick they left me to my own devices.'' She bites her lip wiping away her tears and smiles slightly. ''Quinn was by my side at all times though and so was her mom so whenever I needed support I had the both of them, Em also helped me a lot.''
Brittany smiles slightly and hums. ''Yeah she wrote me about her best friend being pregnant, now I know who she wrote about.''
Santana nods her head and sighs. ''Yeah she was really happy and offered to help me with everything, thanks to all of that she also had the chance to spend more time with Q and the both of them fell in love.''
She nuzzles her face against Brittany's shoulder and sighs softly. ''Two good things that came out of my pregnancy, first my little girl and second my two best friends falling in love.'' She picks her nails and sighs. ''Anyway after I gave birth to Bella my parents started being abusive again because well they couldn't hurt the baby in my stomach anymore, they never hurt Bella I think I would've killed them if they would hurt her but whenever she cried and it woke them up I knew they would come in right after she calmed down.''
Brittany continues rubbing Santana's back as she feels her sob and kisses the top of her head freezing as she realizes what she just did, Santana sighs softly wrapping her arms around Brittany's waist silently letting her know that it's okay and bites her lip as she feels her relax again. ''Fast forward to a two months after Bella turned one, my dad stormed into my room because she was crying and sick and beat me up with his belt. After that he glared at me and told me that his partner has a daughter and forced me to go on a date with her and to start a relationship, that is how I met Dani and well Dani hates the fact that I have a daughter and took over my parents job and punishes me whenever she thinks that I misbehave.''
''Why don't you leave her?'' Brittany asks frowning, Santana shakes her head and sniffles fresh tears running down her cheek.
''I can't my dad threatened to kick me out if I break up with her and I have nowhere else to go, if I am homeless I can't take the right care of my daughter and she is my number one priority Britt.'' She wipes away her tears and sniffles burying herself in Brittany's protective arms. ''I have to survive eight more months, I will leave her fucking ass the second I graduate.''
''She assaulted you today Santana, it can't go on like this.'' Brittany says looking down at her with a frown, Santana shrugs her shoulders keeping her head down and gulps.
''She always assaults me because I don't want to sleep with her.'' She mumbles hoping Brittany doesn't hear her.
''She what?'' Brittany growls out, Santana freezes and slams her eyes shut trying to scramble away from her.
''Please don't hurt me.''
Brittany's eyes widen and she quickly forces herself to calm down, she slowly reaches out to the Latina sitting curled up against the other side of the couch and grabs her hand holding it loosely so she can pull back whenever she wants. ''I will never hurt you Santana I am not angry at you, sorry I didn't want to scare you.''
Santana buries her face in her legs and bites back a sob. ''Please don't do anything that can cause my dad to kick me out, I don't want to lose my daughter.''
Brittany sighs softly watching the distraught girl and slowly scoots closer. ''San, look at me please.'' She squeezes her hand softly as she shakes her head sobbing and bites her lip. ''Please look at me.''
Santana slowly turns her head looking into Brittany's calm blue orbs and sniffles, Brittany smiles sadly and squeezes her hand once again. ''I will make sure you won't lose Bella, but you can't continue living like this.''
''Only eight more months, I can survive that.''
Brittany shakes her head and sighs sadly. ''Judging the bruises you try to hide on your face and the way you are favoring your left side I don't think your body can take any more Santana, what will happen if they hurt you so bad that you have to go to the hospital?''
Santana shrugs and bites her lip. ''I will leave the same day and go back to my daughter.''
''You will only ruin your own body and mind with that Santana, you can't continue living in this kind of pain.''
''I have to, for Bella.''
Brittany shakes her head slowly pulling Santana back in her arms as she sees tears still run down her cheeks and leans back as she cuddles into her, she adjusts the position of her knee as she feels it sting and runs her hand down Santana's back biting her lip. ''No you don't have to, we will find a solution Santana but I will try to get you out of there as soon as possible.''
Santana shakes her head and sniffles. ''You can't, nobody will believe me.''
''I am sure my sister has a few pictures of you with bruises, I know your dad is one of the best lawyers here and you are afraid something will happen with Bella but I won't let anything happen I promise.'' She pulls back a bit cupping Santana's cheek and pulls her head up, she locks eyes on sad brown orbs and smiles reassuringly. ''I will let nobody harm you or Bella, I won't ask you to trust me because you don't know me that well and well I know people broke your trust before but I stand to what I say.''
Santana pulls her head back nuzzling her face in Britt's shoulder and gulps. ''Thank you for letting me tell you everything and get everything off of my chest.''
Brittany shakes her head and sighs sadly. ''No thank you for letting me in and showing me a little bit of trust, your secret is save with me Santana.'' She sighs softly running a hand through Santana's dark locks as she feels her cuddle into her and kisses the top of her head.''You and Bella are safe here.''
She smiles softly realizing that Santana fell asleep and adjusts her hold on her leaning back against the arm of the couch, she moves her leg planting her foot on the cushion beside Santana's hip trying to tense her muscles for a bit. She pulls her phone out of the pocket of her sweatshirt and unlocks it scrolling down to the Whatsapp group she made with Puck and Mercedes.
Guys I need your help.
She leans back smiling as she sees both of them replying almost immediately and runs her hand down Santana's back as she grumbles in her sleep. ''It's okay San.'' She looks back at her phone as she feels her relax and sighs softly as she reads their replies.
Superstar: What's up soldier?
Brother: What's wrong sis?
She glances down at Santana blindly typing her reply and smiles sadly wiping the tear tracks off of her cheeks, she sends the message in the group and bites her lip. ''Hope we can find a solution soon.''
Santana told me all about her life and it fucking sucks guys, she tried to take her life before she found out she was pregnant and lives through hell now to make sure her little one is happy. She gets assaulted almost every day by her girlfriend because she doesn't want to sleep with her and her parents force her to stay in that relationship otherwise they will kick her and the little one out, I want to help her but I don't know how without landing in jail myself.
She reads Puck's reply and smiles sadly.
Brother: Shit B, I don't know what we can do her dad is the best lawyer this town has so I think suing him won't help this situation at all.
Superstar: Her dad is Mario Lopez huh?
Brother: Yep.
Superstar: I will look what I can do and will call my lawyer, we need to get her and her little one out of that house guys. I already noticed the typical battered syndrome but didn't want to force her to talk after watching the interaction between her and Dani, Is she with you right now B?
Yeah she is I kinda saved her from Dani in the park after her daughter found me and made me aware of what was happening behind that huge ass tree near the ice cream cart.
She leaves the group chat as she receives a private message from Mercedes and opens it.
Superstar: What is the deal between you and Santana, B? I never saw you like this before.
I honestly don't know Cedes, Puck already asked the same. I just feel a strange pull to protect her and her daughter, I will try to safe the both of them for any harm and I don't care about getting in trouble myself.
Superstar: Sounds like you are in love with her, damn even if I like the idea of you being happy again she is still a teen soldier.
She will turn eighteen in a month Cedes and I won't act on my damn feelings I really just want to help her and protect her and her little one for any harm, I just don't know how to help her without breaking the law that is why I am asking the both of you for help.
Superstar: I believe you and I will try to help as best as I can, I will come over as soon as the tour is over which will be in a few days think you can keep her away from them for so long?
Nope don't think I can Santana's parents threaten her with kicking her out when she doesn't listen, so she has to go home but I told her to call me as soon as something is wrong and I also have Kev on speed dial and judging the way he talked to San he knows something is wrong.
Superstar: I hope we can save her before they harm her any more B and I know you will jump into a fight whenever you see something happen, but please don't attack Dani she can sue you for hitting her and you will have a hell of a fight to explain everything.
I'll try C. She pauses her conversation with Mercedes as she hears her bedroom door creak open and smiles lovingly as she sees Bella peaking her head out of the room. ''Hey little one, are you okay?''
''Mami?'' Bella asks softly looking around with a frown, Brittany smiles slowly sliding up the couch and points down at Santana.
''Your mami is right here do you want to cuddle with her?'' She smiles lovingly as Bella nods her head tiredly rubbing her eyes and slowly moves away from Santana shushing her as she grumbles. ''Go bed to bed little B, I will bring your mami into the room.''
She looks back down at her phone as soon as Bella walks back into the bedroom and sighs finishing her message.
Gotta go San's daughter just woke up and asked for her, I will bring the both of them to bed and lay down myself I still have a few kids I have to tutor tomorrow. Love ya superstar.
She puts her phone back in her pocket and leans down picking Santana up bridal style ignoring the pressure it puts on her knee, she slowly walks towards her bedroom and walks in smiling as she sees Bella sitting up looking at her with a big smile.
She places Santana down next to her daughter smiling lovingly as Bella immediately cuddles into her mami sucking on her thumb and tucks the both of them in placing a pillow behind Bella so she can't roll of, she runs her hand through Bella's hair as she watches her drift off to sleep and sighs softly. ''Nothing will happen to you or your mami little one, we will make sure the both of you won't have to worry anymore.''
She leans down kissing both of their heads and turns around walking out of her room after grabbing her painkillers, she collapses back down on the couch and groans softly massaging her leg. She grabs the remote control turning the TV on and turns the volume down, she lays back down on the couch folding her right arm behind her head and pulls her leg up to her chest tensing it before letting go and stretching it.
After training her leg for ten minutes she pops in a pain killer and nuzzles her face in the pillow beneath her head sighing softly as she watches a rerun of friends slowly drifting off to sleep herself.
