3 (Britney Spears)

"Wait so you haven't left the house since you got home?" Britt looked shocked a few days later when she was moping around our house like she was on punishment.

"No." I said as I washed bottles while the babies slept.

"And Quinn, you haven't pushed her to leave? I mean, you at least go for a run everyday."

"I remember what it was like after giving birth, B. She has stitches and needs to be resting."

"It's been two weeks, come on...how about a walk around the lake. We can go see the ducks. Please, Tana." She said to me and I scowled.

"I've always hated that nickname...why not just Ana. It's a real name." I was super grumpy because no one was allowing me coffee and it was starting to make me crazy. The whole breastfeeding diet that Quinn had me on was so fucking bogus but I trusted her.

Even if I was in agony.

"Leave the kids with Quinn and let me take you for a walk."

I looked at Quinn and she shrugged and smiled.

"You should go, love. We have tons of milk, the lake is like five minutes away and they will be with me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. She's right. You do need to start getting out."

"Fine, but you'll call me if they need me."

"Right away."

"Okay.

"Yay!" Britt jumped up and down clapping her hands, her boobs jumping a little too much.

"Are you wearing a bra?" I asked her. Quinn looked up from her script and then straight at B before looking at me with a raised brow. "Relax, Q...it's just super obvious."

"Is it? Maybe I'll get lucky. I lost it, my bra, I think your washing machine ate it."

"Of course, B. That must be it. I'm going to put on my shoes and we can go."

The walk around the pond, with Britt's pinky linked with mine, reminded me so much of our relationship and of Mami.

It'd been an eternity since I had one of those dreams of us walking together and it made me ache.

"I'm glad I got you alone...now we can really talk." B said after we'd been walking a few minutes.

"About what?"

"I got offered a job to be the cheer coach at McKinley."

"What?"

"Sue is retiring and with Quinn's back held together with that metal stick and you being a doctor, she only had one choice to whip her girls into shape."

"So she called you."

"Yes."

"And you are asking me if it's okay?"

"Well yeah, I don't want you to think that I'm following you here."

"If I hadn't moved back, would you have taken the job?"

She shrugged. "Maybe. You know my sister is still here, we haven't been close in a while. It'd be good to see her before she is off at college, completely ignoring me."

"What about your other half?"

"Oh, that...she kept accusing me of sleeping with you and cheating with other people."

"So what...it's over?"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"You were it for me, Santana, that's not gonna change because you turned to Quinnie. Maybe I'll fall in love again, there's so many choices, guy or girl, even though Lima is a smaller pond, I think I can work with it."

"Have you told Q?"

"I did, first day I got here. She wanted me to tell you, so you wouldn't be surprised when I moved in."

I stopped walking and waited until she was looking at me.

"So you took the job already and what do you mean by moved in?"

"Well yeah, my parents live across the street, silly, you'd see me a whole lot."

"Right, how could I forget."

"I don't know but maybe you should visit them. You were family like a year ago."

"I know, I'm just recovering still. Those were not small babies. I swear they came out looking the same size as Berry."

"They did not!" She chuckled.

"That's what it fucking felt like. I am so done having children. One of each is enough."

"What if they aren't the gender you think?"

"I don't care if they decide to become sexless monks in a yurt. I'm done pushing anything out of my vag."

"Even a fist?"

"Britt, that is not appropriate."

"I popped your cherry, everything is appropriate."

I could feel the heat in my cheeks as we continued to walk to the side of the lake where the ducks were.

Britt fed them while I walked to the coffee cart and bought us drinks.

What could one coffee hurt?

I was in tears.

"Why won't they sleep?!" I wailed later that night when the babies were crying and not going down for the night.

Britt bounced into the room, still lingering when she could very much go to her parents house.

Everything was pissing me off.

"You think it's the coffee that you snuck at the lake?" I glared at B and then Quinn was laughing.

"Of course it was, you gave them caffeine through your breastmilk, you did this to them, baby."

"Not on purpose, I just needz my coffee, Q."

"Next time get decaf. I'm going to strap them in the car and ride around the block, who's in?"

Britt sat up front with Q and turned on gangsta rap lullabies that seemed to be the trick for my kids.

Of course they would be little gangstas.

Mami used to wish me on myself when I'd get all full of myself and I used to roll my eyes but I was pretty sure that her wish was going to come true.

At least it seemed to be headed in that direction, but at least I had backup.

"So when are we going to become a throuple?" Britt asked and Quinn nearly swerved into a tree.

"What?" She said a little too loudly.

"Q, this is Britt, she's going to say off the wall shit. You can't nearly kill us every time she opens her mouth."

"Wanky." Britt said and I rolled my eyes and went back to watching my little hellions fall asleep as we drove the perimeter of town.

Up and down every single block in silence until Quinn regained her composure.

"Britt, we covered this. I'm monogamous, meaning I only can handle one person at a time."

"Bullshit." I cackled quietly.

"That was high school." She glared in the rearview.

"What about you jumping from Celia to Santana?" B chimed in.

"Fine, look...I don't know if it's something I even want." Q said.

"What about you, Santana, wouldn't you like it if I was still your wife too?"

"B...it's not that simple."

"But it could be. You could have two wives, double the boobs. You LOVE boobs, especially mine."

Quinn was growling and I raised my bare foot and rubbed her arm.

She grabbed my foot with her free hand and massaged it with her thumb.

I groaned and for a moment forgot that I had been trying to calm her and not the other way around.

"Maybe we can fool around sometimes, but that's as much as I'm willing to share." Q relented and I was shocked.

"Really, Q? Don't do something that makes you uncomfortable."

"I'm not. It has merit, you're a surgeon and I'm an actress...there are going to be times we wish there was a third person."

"My dad would freak." I admitted.

"Would he though?" Britt asked.

And she was right, Papi loved her, he'd just encourage us to be transparent and only do what feels good.

"Look, B, even if we said yes...there's no way I'm having sex for a long time. I need my lady bits to be perfect before either of you touch me."

"So what about Quinn's needs?" B asked as she slid her hand onto Q's lap.

"She's driving, move your hand before she kills us all."

B pouted but pulled her hand away.

"You two are no fun."

Only we were fun.

With the babies asleep, Quinn and Britt broke open the wine and started reminiscing on the couch.

"Kiss her, baby." I said to Q and she raised her eyebrow. "Just because I'm not ready doesn't mean I want you getting rusty...do it."

"Is this a test?" She asked.

"No. I want to test this permanent threesome thing out...but like without telling anyone else. Okay? I don't want to explain shit to Papi or my nosey ass sisters."

"Okay, pinky?" We did a triple pinky promise and then I looked at B.

"The only way you get to do this with MY wife, is if I'm directing. Got it?"

"You're in charge, that's how I like it...you know that." B said, with those fucking sparkling eyes that made me fall in love with her the first time around.

Quinn crooked her finger at me and kissed my lips first and then looked in my eyes.

"You're sure."

"Yes...you are a pro at taking direction. So I don't expect you going off script."

She grinned, "Got it."

"And action." I said and Quinn was on Britt, kissing her.

I sipped my one allowable glass of wine and sat back on the recliner, watching my ex and current wife make out.

"So hot, put her on your lap, B. Quinn grind on her the way I like, baby."

They were moaning as they gripped and groped each other. I wished I was in the middle but for now, this would have to do.

Britt had pointed something out in the car, Quinn was a notorious cheater and while I knew she wouldn't do that to me, I didn't want her to even have the urges. As monogamous as she liked to believe, she was so NOT monogamous.

Britt had her fingers buried in Quinn when there was a knock at the front door.

"B, go wash your hands. Quinn...go check on the babies. I'll answer the door."

Sending them in opposite directions was best. I didn't want them going any further without me there.

We had yet to lay down some ground rules.

Papi wrapped me up in his arms and kissed my face.

"How are you, mi'ja? I was just coming to drop off food before I head to work."

"Thanks, Papi. Britt's here to help us. The babies are asleep."

"You're eating?"

"Yes, Papi."

"You smell like wine."

"I know. I had some...just one glass."

"Okay. Where's Quinn?"

"Shower."

"Hi Mr. L!" B said as she came into the room with a glass of wine and a smile.

"Hi Brittany, I hope you're not overstaying your welcome?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Please, they won't let me leave."

"Is that right, mi'ja. Best of both worlds?"

"What can I say, Papi. I'm irresistible."

"I see that. I'm going to head out, I'll see you all for family breakfast tomorrow?"

"We'll be there." I said.

"Good." He kissed my face and then patted Britt's shoulder before leaving.

I watched him through the window until his SUV pulled out of the driveway.

Shit...he looked a little too interested.

"See what I mean, that was too close. He has a key, you know."

"Relax." B said as she brushed my hair out of my face before kissing my forehead. "We will be careful."

"Come with me, Quinn is probably trying to rub it out in the shower. I want to see you do that thing with your mouth."

She grinned.

"You got it captain."

We pushed into the bathroom and sure enough, Q was red faced as she tried to get herself off.

"Having trouble?" I asked as I slid open the glass and she glared at me.

"Yesss."

"B?" I called back for her and she came in, naked and smiling.

Q looked at me.

"Are you getting in?"

"No...I need to be ready for the wonder twins...but I'll be right here watching."

Quinn had never gone this far with Britt and looked crazy nervous as Britt knelt in front of her.

I watched Quinn's face as Britt lifted Q's leg onto her shoulder.

"Oh God!" Q moaned.

"Do that thing with your tongue, B." I said and then Quinn was throwing back her head and gripping Britt's hair in her fists.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck...how...oh God." She was looking down in awe and then at me. "You left this for me?" She squeaked.

Britt chuckled.

"I left that for me, Q...I didn't go back to that because of you."

"Fuck, fuck, yesssss...oh God...yesss...I'm co...oh sweet...Jesus!" Quinn always looked beautiful when she came but seeing it from a distance was even more amazing. I was seeing the full picture and was glad that Britt wasn't seeing it all...this was just for me.

"Come out, B." I said, "Let her clean off...I need to taste her on your lips...is that okay?" I asked Q and she nodded and waved me off.

"Yes...go...fuck." Q said.

Britt was dripping wet as she kissed me for the first time with tongue in longer than I could remember.

The taste of Quinn on her lips was something I could easily become addicted to.

What was happening?

Was this going to be...a thing?

Could we do this?
