"How?"

Santana wraps her arms around her girlfriend from behind and places a small kiss on her cheek. "Emily showed me the pictures and I asked her if I could copy them and make a gift for you, Emily helped me and we both wrote the words on the frame you are an amazing mother Brittany and if you ever doubt that please look at this frame."

Brittany looks down at the photo frame and let's out a small sob looking at the picture of her holding her stomach proudly the day she started showing, she looks to the picture next to that and sees her laying in a hospital bed with Bryan on her chest Bry fast asleep and Brittany looking down at him with a lot of love shining in her eyes.

She looks at all the pictures and sees pictures of all his firsts and Brittany proudly standing behind him, she even sees some pictures she never knew existed like the day she found out she was expecting a little boy.

She looks at the words and sentences written on the frame and shakes her head not holding back the sob this time.

"First word: Mommy, first sentence: I luv you Mommy, first cheer: I did it Mommy." Brittany turns in her girlfriends arms and immediately accepts the hug she is pulled in burying her face in her girlfriends neck, Emily stops filming and walks to both girls smiling as Santana opens one of her arms to join the hug.

Emily joins the hug and kisses her sisters cheek. "Santana is right Britt I watched the nine months you carried Bry in your stomach always being careful that nothing happened to him, the nights you pulled through because he was sick and you were worried."

She looks at her nephew and smiles. "And the days he had his firsts you were always standing there looking at him like a proud and happy mother, you raised him on your own sis and you did a damn good job I am so proud of you!"

Brittany wraps one of her arms around her sisters waist and shakes her head. "I couldn't do it without your help Em." Emily chuckles and looks at her nephew calling him over, Bryan immediately jogs to her and joins the hug wrapping his arms around his mothers legs.

"No Britt you did the most yes I was there to help but raising him learning him rules and learning him how to behave that is what you did not me."

Bryan looks up at the side of his mothers head and smiles. "I love you mommy." Santana crouches down with her girlfriend and Emily in her arms and smiles as Bryan wriggles himself under her arm, Brittany wraps one of her arms around her son and places a kiss on his head.

"I love you too baby boy."

Santana feels Brittany slowly pull out of the hug and immediately cups her cheeks wiping away the tears with a small smile, Brittany leans into the touch and looks her girlfriend in the eyes.

"Thank you babe." Santana pecks her girlfriend on the lips and smiles.

"Anytime baby, I heard you doubting yourself a lot the months I know you and I wanted to change that." Brittany glances at the frame and smiles.

"It definitely helped." Emily wraps an arm around her sisters waist and smiles.

"That is good sis, I love you." Brittany smiles and places a kiss on her sisters cheek.

"I love you too Em."

Maribel looks back down at the photo frame and raises an eyebrow. "Um wait a second, Bryan can dance?"

Brittany chuckles and looks at her with a smile. "Your grandson can dance too."

Maribel looks at her grandson and raises an eyebrow. "You can dance nieto?" Santino nods his head and smiles, Maribel looks at him and chuckles. "Will you show it to us?"

Santino turns his head to look at Brittany and sees her nodding her head with a small smile, He turns back to his grandmother and nods his head with a big smile. "Yes we will abuela."

Santino turns around and runs to Brittany, Brittany grabs his and Bryan's hands and looks at her sister and Mike. "Come on we can talk by the music table." Mike and Emily immediately follow them and crouch down next to Brittany, Brittany looks at both boys and smiles.

"Do you want to dance alone, or shall we join in?" Bryan smiles and looks at his mother.

"Join in mommy." Santino nods his head in agreement and looks at the three adults in front of him.

"Can we dance to love yourself?" The three of them nod their heads and Mike smiles.

"Just like we practiced?" The two boys nod their heads and Brittany pulls out her phone, she plugs it in and scrolls to the remix they danced too.

Brittany pauses the song and looks at the boy. "Take your shirts of boys, it's hot outside and dancing will let you sweat." Both boys pull of their shirts and give it Brittany, she looks at both boys and smiles.

"Alright just do what we practiced, and if you forget something don't worry about it okay." Both boys nod their heads again and Brittany starts the song, both boys jog to the empty space and start doing the dance they practiced.

Brittany smiles proudly and glances at Mike and Emily. "Mike do you wear a tank under your shirt?" As soon as Mike nods his head she smiles and shrugs. "Pull your shirt off, and you too Em I know we both wear a sports bra under our clothes."

Mike and Emily nod their heads and pull of their shirts, Brittany does the same and smiles as Mike and Emily jump behind the boys as the chorus starts.

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

Brittany smiles as the boys and her sister dance perfectly and glances at the group seeing her girlfriend looking at them with her jaw dropped, she turns back as she hears the song speed up and smiles proudly as both boys jump up and dance a little faster.

Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

Brittany smiles as they slow down as soon as the song slows down and sees Emily looking at her with a smirk, Brittany slowly stands up and walks a little backwards smiling as Emily and Mike step back to make a little more place for her.

She smiles as the boys do a perfect twirl on the beat and smirks as the beat speeds up again and the chorus comes on, she quickly jogs to them and does a one handed front spring perfectly landing in the middle of the boys, Emily and Mike.

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

Brittany jumps up and steps with Mike and Emily right behind the boys, the five of them do the knee drop simultaneously and Brittany watches as the boys and Emily do the Hinge kick.

Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

Brittany and Mike both do a monkey flip at the end of the song and land right behind the boys and Emily, they both smile as the other three turn around and give them a high five.

Brittany pulls both boys in a hug and places a kiss on both of their cheeks. "That was awesome boys!"

"Ai Santana couldn't you tell us they had some awesome moves? We could have a dance night with them soon!" Brittany chuckles as she hears Emilio's shocked voice and sees him standing in the kitchen, she looks down at both boys and smiles proudly.

"Next time we will teach the two of you a dance, but that is a dance you can do together without me, Mike and Emily joining in."

Bryan and Santino nod their heads with a big smile and place a kiss on Brittany's cheek, they both turn on their heels and run to Santana both jumping in her arms. Brittany chuckles as her girlfriend stumbles back slightly with both boys in her arms, and slowly walks to them with Emily and Mike.

She takes the towel Tina hands her and wipes the sweat of her brow, Maribel looks at her and chuckles. "Damn Brittany I know you joined in at the end but you kinda did the most difficult dance, how did you learn to do those tricks?"

Brittany chuckles and shrugs. "We teach easy moves at the studio but when Mike and I have a break or time off, we go into a private dance room and just dance with tricks, jumps and lifts."

Emily looks at her sister and smirks. "That explains their fit body." Tina wraps her arms around her boyfriend and smiles looking at Emily.

"Not only dancing gave them abs Em, they work out together too." Emily nods her head in agreement and chuckles.

"I remember the times where one of them suddenly called out push ups, and they both simultaneously dropped down."

Mike and Brittany both chuckle and shake their heads, Mike turns to Tina and smirks.

"We still do that babe, but only when we are hanging out alone we don't want the two of you filming us."

Brittany nods her head and chuckles. "Yeah the two of you always filmed it." She walks to her girlfriend and takes Bryan as he reaches out for her, she places her son on her hip and wraps an arm around Santana's waist.

Santana leans into her girlfriends side and looks up at her. "Is that what you did with Santino when he asked to hang out with you and Emily?" Brittany nods her head and chuckles.

"Yeah Santi wanted to dance with us." Santino looks at Brittany and smiles.

"Can we dance more together Britty?" Brittany looks at him and smiles nodding her head.

"Of course we can buddy." Santino smiles and lays his head on his mother's shoulder, he wraps his arm around Bryan and sighs contently as his mother strokes his back softly.

Brittany smiles as her son wraps his arm around Santino and places a kiss on his head, she looks at her girlfriend and smiles. "I think our boys are tired babe." Santana nods her head in agreement and smiles.

"Yeah I had to wake Santino a little earlier today." Emily sees her sister and Santana talking and looks at both boys almost falling asleep in their arms, she turns to Mike and nods her head towards them.

"Will you help me putting them to bed?" Mike nods his head and follows Emily to his best friend and Santana, he takes Bryan slowly out of her arms and smiles.

"Em and I will bring them up girls." Brittany and Santana nod their heads and smile, Quinn and Puck walk up to them with a sleeping Beth in their arms and Puck chuckles.

"We will bring her to bed too girls, I had fun today and the two of you look really cute together." He gives the two of them a one armed hug and walks back in the house after Quinn said goodbye too, Santana feels her girlfriend shiver slightly and looks up.

"Do you want to put your shirt back on babe?" Brittany slowly nods her head and Santana quickly steps out of her hold, she walks to the music table and grabs her girlfriends shirt.

She jogs back to Brittany and gives it to her, she turns back around and walks to the table with drinks. "After filling hers and Emily's glass with wine, she grabs a beer and walks back to the table."

She places the bottle of beer in front of Brittany and places her wine glass next to it, she places Emily's glass on the table in front of the chair next to them and sits down on Brittany's lap.

Brittany wraps her arms around her girlfriend and looks at Lio with a small smile. "Will you all stay here Lio?" Lio shakes his head and smiles.

"No I think we will watch if a hotel has a few free rooms for the night, we will drive back tomorrow evening." Brittany shakes her head and looks at her girlfriends family.

"You don't need to stay at a hotel, I don't think San has enough free room but I will stay here because of Bry so if you want you all can crash at my apartment with Em."

Emily walks back outside and hears Brittany's offer, she sits down next to her and smiles. "Mike and Tina will crash at my apartment sis."

Brittany nods her head knowing her friends drank too much to drive and smiles. "I only drank one beer so, I can still drive you all home."

Maribel looks at her husband and shrugs, Lio looks at Brittany and smiles. "If it's really no problem for the two of you, we will take you up on that offer Britt."

Brittany shrugs her shoulders and smiles. "It's really no problem Lio, my apartment has enough space and Em can crash in my bed or go next door to her apartment, Bry and I will stay here because he won't wake up now but I think San already knew that."

Santana nods her head and chuckles. "Yeah we tried to pick him up one time, but he started crying and yelling that he wanted to stay here." She looks at her parents and smiles.

"After that we never woke him up again, if he falls asleep here Britt and Em or one of them will stay here too."

Emily chuckles and nods her head. "Britt and I slept over a lot because the boys were too tired and after the interview with Ellen we slept here too, Britt even carried all of us inside."

Sue turns to look at Brittany and chuckles. "You carried Emily and Santana inside too?" Brittany nods her head and chuckles.

"We were all tired that night and I convinced Santana to let me drive even tho we were both yawning, but it was a good idea because not even 5 minutes later she fell asleep too and the three in the backseat were out cold as well."

Sue chuckles and shakes her head looking at Santana. "Never even think about me carrying you inside if you ever fall asleep somewhere Lopez."

Santana looks at her and smirks. "You don't have to Sue, I think Britt will do it." Sue laughs and nods her head in agreement.

"Yeah I think so too, she always carried Santino too as soon as he fell asleep at the studio." Emily nods his head in agreement and chuckles.

"Santino always climbed in her lap and fell asleep, Bryan knew it as soon as his best friend crawled in Britt's lap that he was tired."

Brittany shrugs her shoulders and smirks. "I think the both of them think of me as a living pillow."

Santana lays her head back against Brittany's shoulder and chuckles. "You just give the best cuddles babe."

Emily nods her head in agreement and smiles. "Yeah sis you really give the best cuddles and hugs, as soon as I feel your arms around me I immediately relax and feel safe."

Brittany turns her head to look at her sister and smiles. "As long as I am near you, you can feel safe sis because I won't let anything happen to you."

Emily swallows thickly and nods her head ignoring the tears in her eyes. "I remember you whispering this in my ear when we were younger and I was on the verge of falling asleep, you just had a fight with Susan and stepped in front of me as soon as she started throwing things."

Everyone hears the small crack in Emily's voice and Brittany immediately scoots her chair backwards a little, she stretches out her left arm and smiles slightly. "Come here Em."

Emily immediately stands up and sits down on her sisters left leg burying her head in her neck, Santana moves to stand up but Emily shakes her head and wraps her arm around Santana's waist too.

Santana smiles slightly and wraps her own arm around Emily kissing her on the cheek. "And now you have me too Em, I may be little but I can still kick asses.

Emily chokes out a laugh and finally let the tears fall slowly. "Thank you Santana." Everyone around the table look at the three girls with a smile and Brittany lowers her head kissing her sister on the head.

"It seems like crying day for the both of us sis, but even if we were little I meant every word I said to you aside from words I used in a fight."

Emily chuckles and hides her face into her sisters neck, she smiles as Brittany strokes her back softly and sighs. "I never remember words you use when we fight, it's normal we fight but even if we were fighting you still protected me."

Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. "It's my job to look after you sis, yes you are only a year and a few months younger but still I will never forgive myself if someone hurts you and I stood there just watching."

Lio looks at his daughters girlfriend and smiles. "You are the best sister, mother, girlfriend and friend someone could wish for Brittany."

Brittany looks at him and shrugs. "I'm sure there are more people thinking like me." Maria shakes her head and smiles.

"Maybe but I never met someone like you Brittany, and I am glad Santana met you I can see that you really like her and Santi."

Santana chuckles and looks at her niece. "She was already protective before I met her, she didn't want to date first and ran the first time she kissed me."

"Why?" Maribel asks curiously, Brittany smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of her neck.

"Um I was scared." She cuts herself of and shakes her head with a sigh. "I'm still scared to be honest because we both have sons and if we ever break up, I really don't want to know how they will react."

Emilio sighs and looks at his sisters girlfriend. "Does your mind ever shut up Britt?"

Emily sits up and looks at him shaking her head. "No it doesn't she always thinks too much and scares herself, I talked to her before because I knew she liked Santana but it still scared her and she ran."

Santana looks at her girlfriend and smirks. "But I didn't give up and fought against her thoughts, she agreed to go on a date with me and asked me on a second date."

Emily chuckles and kisses her sister on her cheek. "Britt even wrote a song, about Santana."

"Did you publish it Sue?" Maribel asks curiously, Sue shakes her head and chuckles.

"No I heard the song but Britt doesn't want to publish it." Maribel turns to Brittany and smiles.

"Can we hear it?" Brittany nods her head and gives Santana her phone, she grabs her bottle of beer and takes a sip.

Santana unlocks her girlfriends phone and opens her music list, she scrolls down to the song Britt wrote and lays the phone down on the table.

Brittany wraps her arm around her girlfriend again and smiles as she cuddles into her, she watches everyone listening to the song with a small smile and starts singing it softly so only Santana and Emily can hear it.

Emilio looks at Brittany and smiles. "The song is beautiful Britt, but I am not a girl." Brittany chuckles and shrugs.

"Yeah sorry about that Emilio, but her brother's beautiful sounds kinda weird." Emilio nods his head and chuckles.

"True." Lio looks at Brittany and smirks.

"How did you know that she has my eyes?" Brittany laughs and shrugs her shoulders.

"I saw pictures of you and Santana on her wall." Mike looks at his best friend and smiles proudly.

"I am proud of you Brittany in only three years time you managed to change your life completely, you broke up with your controlling girlfriend kicked her out of your apartment."

"You opened the studio, you met amazing people and even your girlfriend now and you are a professional singer, dancer and songwriter." Tina adds proudly

"Controlling girlfriend?" Santana and Maria asks curiously, Brittany groans and lays her head back.

"Yeah sorry that I never told you about her before, it's just someone I would like to keep out of our conversations."

Emily sees the curious looks her sister gets and sighs sitting up slightly. "Brittany wasn't always so confidently, after giving birth to Bryan she was so unsure of herself that she hardly came out of her apartment."

She looks at her sister and smiles sadly. "I had to pull her out of the house sometimes and well one night after calling a babysitter, I took her out to a restaurant and that day she met Jessica."

"She was nice in the beginning but after two months she started being jealous because I spent so much time with Em, she was jealous I met Mike and Tina and uh she called me a bunch of name." Brittany bites her lip and sighs.

"Now that I think of it I was pretty stupid to let myself be in a relationship with her, she locked me up when she had to go to work and she even complained when I cuddled with Bry for too long."

Maribel sighs and looks at her. "What opened your eyes?" Santana feels Brittany and Emily tense at the question and looks at them.

"What happened?" Mike looks at his best friend and sees her looking up with anger shining in her eyes, he stands up and walks to her standing behind her chair.

He places his hand on her shoulders and lifts her head slightly locking eyes with her. "Stop blaming this shit on yourself B, that bitch was crazy!"

"What did she do Em?" Santana asks kinda worried about her girlfriend, Emily looks at Santana and sighs.

"That bitch tried to attack Britt with a knife, Bry was with me and I ran over as soon as I heard her shouting." Emily looks at her sister and sighs.

"Britt blames herself for it, because she thinks she had to see the signs." Tina sighs and shakes her head.

"I didn't see anything alarming, the day Britt introduced her to us."

Emilio stands up and walks to Brittany, he looks at both girls in her lap and nods his head silently asking them to stand up. Santana and Emily immediately stand up and Emilio crouches down beside Brittany, he turns her head so she is looking at him and smiles sadly.

"I had a crazy ex too B she tried to make me disown my parents and that sort shit, she forbid me to call Santana and tried to talk bad about me to my friends I didn't saw any signs about that either so what happened isn't your fault."

Brittany nods her head slowly and sighs. "It just feels like it's my own fault you know, it's almost two years ago but still I am glad I had those quick reflexes and kicked the knife out of her hands."

Emilio nods his head and smiles. "I know it takes a while but let it go now, it is in the past concentrate on your future with my sister, your sister, the two little boys and your friends."

"And the awesome family you met last weekend." Maria adds smirking, Brittany looks at her and smirks.

"Yeah short stack I am glad that I met all of you." Santana sits back down in her girlfriends lap and chuckles.

"Be nice babe." Emily sits back down on Brittany's left leg and chuckles.

"That was nice San, Britt has other mean shorty jokes." Brittany lifts her head and looks up at Mike.

"Thank you Mike." She holds her hand up and smiles as takes it, she pulls him down and places a kiss on his cheek.

Mike stands back up and smiles. "Anytime B, I always like to cheer my best friend up." Brittany smiles and looks back down as he walks back to his chair, Emily looks at the time and chuckles.

"I think it's time to go guys, it's almost eleven and I think the girls need to clean up before going to bed."

"Do you need any help mija?" Lio asks looking at his daughter, Santana shakes her head and smiles.

"No papi Britt and I will do it quickly before bed, we will drive you to her apartment first." Brittany nods her head and smiles.

"We can meet up tomorrow for lunch, I need to go to the studio in the morning." Emily turns to her sister and raises an eyebrow.

"Why?" Brittany looks at her sister and smirks.

"I am taking over your morning class so you and Mike can sleep longer, the boys always wake up around nine when they sleep in one room so maybe I will take them with me." Emily smiles brightly and kisses her sister on the cheek. "Thank you sis!" Brittany chuckles and just smiles.

"You're welcome now get your ass off my lap, I will drive you home." Emily chuckles and immediately jumps off, Santana stands up too and smiles as everyone else joins them.

"I can drive some too San, you can stay here if you want." Sue offers with a smile, Santana looks at her and smiles.

"Only if you want to drive Sue." Sue nods her head and smiles.

"Yeah come on Britt." Brittany smiles and pecks her girlfriend on the lips, Santana looks at her and smiles.

"Grab my keys babe, I don't want the boys waking up because they heard the doorbell." Brittany nods her head and smiles following her sister inside, she grabs Santana's keys of the kitchen table and walks outside.

"Alright just jump in the car" Emily, Mike, Tina and Emilio jump in Brittany's car and slam the door close, Brittany turns to Lio and chuckles. "Well that was quick."

Lio chuckles and nods his head. "I think they are tired." Brittany nods her head and jumps in the drivers seat, she opens the gate and let's Sue drive out first after driving out she closes the gate and drives in front of Sue.

After a ten minute drive she parks her car in front of the apartment building and gives her sister her keys. "I know you have the spare key, but leave this one with Lio and Maribel."

Emily takes the keys and nods her head after wishing everyone a good night, Brittany turns on her radio and drives back to her girlfriends house. She stops in front of a red light and looks at the display of her radio as her phone beeps, she opens the text from her girlfriend and smiles.

Hey babe I already cleaned up so you don't need to do it when you get back, just come up when you are back. Kiss

She quickly writes out a reply and drives as soon as the light turns green, she turns the radio a little bit louder as she hears the song she and Santana sang on Ellen and smiles.

Okay babe, thank you I will be there in 5 minutes. Kiss

Five minutes later Brittany opens the gate again and parks in front of her girlfriends house, after closing the gate she walks into the house and locks the door behind her.

After turning on the alarm and taking of her shoes, she turns of the light in the hallway and jogs up the stairs. She smiles as she sees her girlfriend standing on the balcony looking over the backyard and walks towards her, she wraps her arms around Santana's waist from behind and places a kiss on her cheek.

"Thank you for today babe, you really surprised me." Santana leans back into her girlfriends body and turns her head kissing her on the cheek.

"You don't have to thank me baby." Brittany turns Santana around in her arms and wraps her arms back around her girlfriend, she strokes the small of her back and smiles.

"I do have to thank you for everything babe, you planned the party and gave me the best gift." Santana smiles and leans up pecking her girlfriend on the lips.

"I would do everything again just to see your beautiful smile Britt-Britt." Brittany smiles and slowly cups her cheek pulling her in a slow kiss pouring everything she feels into it, Santana answers the kiss with just as much passion and wraps her arms tighter around her girlfriend.

Both girls jump as they hear a loud thunderclap and look at each other, Santana's eyes widen as she sees a flash and quickly pulls her girlfriend inside. Brittany sees the panic in her girlfriends eyes and pulls her in her arms.

"Afraid of thunder baby?" Santana buries her head in Brittany's neck and nods her head slightly, Brittany watches the bedroom door open and sees both boys walking in with wide eyes.

"Go change and lay in bed baby, boys crawl in bed please." Both boys quickly crawl in bed and hide under the comforter, Santana and Brittany quickly change and crawl into bed too.

Brittany looks at the three shivering in bed and shakes her head. "Boys please scoot over a little bit." As soon as they move Brittany turns of the bedside lamp and sits in the middle of them, after pulling her girlfriend in her side she pulls both boys towards her and smile as they both lay their heads on her stomach.

"Try to sleep baby." Santana nods her head and jumps a little as she hears another thunderclap, Brittany strokes the small of her back and whispers soothing words to her girlfriend and both boys laying in her arms.

After almost three hours she hears her girlfriends breathing even out and lays her head back against the headboard looking outside knowing she won't get any sleep tonight, she keeps stroking her girlfriends back and smiles as she cuddles deeper into her.
