Lio and Maribel both walk down the stairs around nine in the morning and raise an eyebrow as they see Brittany sitting on the couch looking at the two little boys, Lio softly clears his throat and smiles as Brittany looks up. " Good morning, everything okay?"
Brittany nods her head and smiles. " Yeah they both threw up a few hours ago but after they ate some toast they fell back asleep and didn't wake up to throw up again."
Maribel sees some tears in her eyes as she looks at the boys and raise an eyebrow. " Are you sure that everything is okay?"
Brittany nods her head and points to the kitchen, she slowly stands up and tucks the boys back in. She follows Maribel and Lio into the kitchen and leans against the table. " Santi called me mommy last night."
Maribel gasps with a big smile and quickly pulls her into a hug, Brittany sniffles softly and chuckles. " He said it one time and the waterworks started immediately." Lio joins the hug and chuckles.
" He will say it two or three times more and the waterworks will still come B." Santana and Emily both walk into the kitchen and raise an eyebrow as they see Brittany hugging Maribel and Lio, Santana clears her throat and smiles.
" Good morning Babe, Good morning Mami and Papi." Lio steps out of the hug and kisses his daughter and Emily on the cheek
" Good morning girls." Maribel follows his lead and smiles.
" Good morning girls, I will make some coffee and breakfast." Santana nods her head and looks at her girlfriend.
" Everything okay babe?" Brittany bites her lip and nods her head.
" Yeah Santi woke me up in the middle of the night and ran to the bathroom to throw up, Bryan threw up too and I took them downstairs so that they wouldn't wake any of you up."
Santana grimaces slightly and sighs. " How many times did they throw up?" Brittany smiles and takes her girlfriend in her arms.
" Only once I made them some toast and after watching some TV they fell asleep again." She turns to her sister and kisses her on the cheek.
" Good morning sis." She looks at both girls and smiles slightly " Would you two join me in the backyard for a few minutes?"
Both girls nod their heads and follow Brittany outside, Brittany closes the door behind her and turns to both girls. " Um Santi called me Mommy before he fell asleep."
Santana smiles and she immediately pulls her girlfriend in a hug as she sees the tears in her eyes, Emily squeals and joins the hug. Santana slightly pulls out of the hug and wipes away her girlfriends tears. " He asked me last night if it's okay for him to call you that, I told him he had to ask you and Bry he really loves you babe and I never saw him so happy before."
Emily looks at them and smiles. " Both boys love you girls and they behave like brothers, a stranger would think that they are twins."
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. " Yeah I know but he still surprised me." Santana smiles and kisses her girlfriend.
" His question surprised me too but after everything both boys are scared to lose us and start thinking about the future, what happened really scared both of them I think that's the reason why they threw up too."
Emily nods her head in agreement and smiles. " The both of you already act like mothers for both of them, there is no you and I in your relationship everything starts with we."
Brittany looks at her and smiles. " Yeah but same goes for you and Kev, a relationship based on communication is the best."
Santana nods her head and steps back in her girlfriend arms. " It is but some alone time with each other is important too, so date night tonight?"
Em smiles and nods her head. " Kev and I wanted to have a movie night with the boys tonight, so you girls will have some time alone."
Brittany nods her head and kisses her girlfriend on the head. " Yeah a date night sounds good baby, Let's go back inside and help your mom with breakfast."
Santana and Em both nod their heads and follow Brittany back inside, Santana quickly walks into the living room and smiles as she sees the boys cuddling together and watching TV. " Good morning boys."
Both boys immediately jump up and into Santana's arms. " Good morning mami." Santino says with a smile and kisses his mother on the cheek, Bryan kisses her other cheek and smiles.
" Good morning Sanny." Santana smiles and kisses both boys on the head, she walks with them into the kitchen and places them on a chair.
" Are you feeling okay again?" Santi nods his head and smiles big.
" Yeah mommy took care of us." Bryan nods his head in agreement and smiles, Santana looks at her girlfriend as she hears a spoon clatter on a plate and walks to her.
She pulls her girlfriend in her arms and kisses her. " It will take a while to keep the tears at bay babe, but I don't like seeing you cry."
Brittany chuckles and wipes away her tears after placing a kiss on her girlfriends lips she walks to the boys and kisses them on the head. " Good morning boys."
Both boys kiss her on the cheek and raise their arms, Brittany leans down and gives them a hug. " I can't pick the both of you up yet, the tattoo's still hurt a little bit."
The boys nod their heads in understanding and smiles, after placing another kiss on their heads she walks back to Maribel and helps her frying some eggs.
After putting the eggs on a plate she turns to her girlfriend and smiles slightly. " Baby, Em and I need to do something after breakfast will you be okay with the boys here?"
Santana nods her head and raises an eyebrow. " Yeah what are you gonna do?" Emily looks at her sister and raises an eyebrow.
" Yeah sis what are we gonna do?" Brittany looks at them and smirks.
" That will be a surprise for later if everything goes well, but I kinda need your support on this one sis." Emily sees the serious look in her sisters eyes and nods her head.
" Yeah I'm coming with you, let me get dressed after breakfast and wake Kev after that we can go."
Brittany nods her head and walks to both boys after putting coffee on the table, she gives both of them a glass with juice and sits down next to them. She smiles as both immediately crawl on her lap and puts an arm around them, she thanks Maribel as she places three plates in front of her and looks at her girlfriend.
" Where will we go tonight babe?" Santana looks at her and chuckles.
" That is a surprise baby, but we will get dressed separately." Brittany nods her head and turns to her sister.
" We need to go shopping, I don't have any nice clothes." Emily nods her head and chuckles.
" Yeah I have to buy some for the dance night." Brittany takes a sip of her coffee and nods, she smiles as both boys share the last piece of bacon and kisses them on the head.
" If you want more bacon take some of my plate boys." Both boys nod their heads and smile both taking a piece of her plate.
After breakfast Santana helps her mother clean the kitchen and Brittany follows her sister upstairs, they both silently walk into the room and chuckle as they see Kev sprawled out like a starfish.
Brittany quickly takes a picture and grabs her clothes, she walks into the guest room and quickly changes. After doing her hair and brushing her teeth she walks back into the bed room and chuckles as she sees Em cuddling with Kev.
" Morning starfish." Em starts laughing as she hears the nickname and shakes her head.
" Leave him alone sis." Brittany chuckles and puts her stuff back in her bag.
" Are you ready to go?" Emily nods her head and stands up after giving Kev a kiss.
" Yeah." Brittany nods her head and grabs her car keys, after grabbing her wallet she walks out of the room and runs down the stairs. She walks into the living room and smiles as she sees both boys watching TV, she walks to them and places a kiss on their head.
" We will see you later boys, have fun with Sanny and your grandparent." She walks into the kitchen after the boys said bye and wraps her arms around Santana from behind, she kisses her on the shoulder and smiles.
" Em and I are going babe but we will be back soon, do you need some clothes too?" Santana turns around in her arms and shakes her head.
" No I think I have everything." She kisses her and smiles. " Have fun baby, I love you."
Brittany smiles and kisses her again. " I love you too baby."
After Emily said bye too everyone both girls walk outside and jump in Brittany's car, Emily looks at her sister as soon as she drives off and raises an eyebrow. " So where are we going?"
Brittany glances at her and bites her lip. " Um we are going to visit Alma." She holds up her hand as Emily opens her mouth and shakes her head. " I know that it is a bad idea but after everything what happened with our parents I still see the hurt in Santana's eyes as soon as she hears something from her, I want to try to talk to her but I couldn't do it alone."
Emily nods her head in understanding and sighs. " Yeah I understand."
After a twenty minute drive in silence Brittany parks her car in Alma's driveway and looks at her sister. " Ready?" Emily shakes her head and chuckles.
" I have to ask you that." Brittany chuckles and shrugs.
" I will never be ready but I have to try this, come on." Emily nods her head and both girls jump out of the car, after locking her car Brittany walks up to the door and rings the doorbell.
After a few minutes Alma opens the door and glares at them. " What are you doing here?" Brittany holds the door open before she slams it shut and quickly pulls Emily inside, she stands against the front door and looks at Alma with a sigh.
" I wanted to talk to you about Santana." Alma shakes her head and growls.
" I don't have anything to say about her." Brittany rolls her eyes and sighs.
" Cut the crap Alma I still see pictures of her all around your house you care about her, but your love for good took the better part of your life! Your granddaughter misses you like hell and you are acting like nothing happened."
Alma glares at the girl in front of her and shakes her head. " She is living in a Sin! I can't support that!"
Brittany shakes her head and sighs. " You can't? I hold your girlfriend every night because she is sad the she can't visit you, we are here because my homophobic parents try to attack all of us she is scared that something like this will happen again and you sit here and tell me you can't support her?"
She shakes her head again and growls. " Your son and daughter in law accept her too and for them it came as a surprise to, she didn't choose to live like this Alma but god has a different direction planned for all of us!"
Alma quickly looks at the girls and raise an eyebrow. " Did they hurt Santanita?" She turns around and walks into the living room knowing the girls will follow her, Brittany quickly follows her and pushes Em down on one of the chairs she sits down on the arm of the chair and shakes her head.
" No they didn't because I pushed her away, my dad had a knife so she was shocked but beside that she is unharmed."
Alma looks down at her hands and sighs. " That's good." Brittany looks at her and sighs.
" Can't you give her a chance Alma? Santana needs her mother and Santi needs his great grandmother, I know that it will be weird but god once said ' Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.' "
Alma looks at her with her jaw dropped and raises an eyebrow, Brittany chuckles and shrugs. " Ephesians 4:31" They simultaneously say.
Brittany sits forward and sighs. " Look Alma I'm not asking you to come to our wedding or something that is something that is along the way but too far for now, I am asking you as your granddaughters girlfriend to put that sparkle back in her eyes she misses you a lot and Santi talks about you too sometimes."
Alma looks at the girl in front of her and sighs. " You are right it's time to follow my heart and not my religion, but how will I convince her to give me a chance?"
" Are you serious?" Emily and Brittany both ask with a smile, Alma chuckles and nods her head.
" I bought the new CD and heard all songs, I miss her."
Brittany smiles and stands up, she sits down next to Alma and places her hand on hers. " I will promise you that you won't regret this, will you join us for dinner tomorrow? I will cook something for all of us and you can talk with Santana, she will be angry first but let me talk to her and after dinner she is all yours."
Emily nods her head and smiles. " And we have a Lopez dance night Saturday, you can gladly join us and enjoy the family fun."
Brittany nods her head in agreement and smiles slightly. " I never meant to talk to you like I did the first time we met, but when someone makes the person I love cry I want to protect her and then I don't care how."
Alma squeezes her hand and smiles. " I know and it's okay, I did a lot of thinking and I reacted wrong I can see how much you love my granddaughter and Santi." She looks at both girls and smiles.
" I'm not only coming for Santana, I also want to get to know you, your son and your sister."
Brittany smiles and nods her head. " We will be here till Sunday after that we have to go back, but I promise you that we will visit as often as possible." She looks at the time and chuckles.
" We have to go now but if you want Emily and her boyfriend can pick you up tomorrow, I will tell Maribel and Lio that we will have another visitor but I won't tell them who will come."
Alma nods her head and stands up with the girls, she pulls both of them in a hug and smiles. " I will make some dessert for tomorrow, thank you for coming here and opening my eyes."
Brittany pulls out of the hug and shrugs. " I would do anything to make Santana happy and you make her happy Alma, we will see you tomorrow."
Alma nods her head and smiles she watches both girls jump in their car after saying goodbye and waves, Brittany drives down the street and parks at the mall two blocks away she looks at her sister and starts laughing.
" Did you expect that?" Emily shakes her head and chuckles.
" No but I didn't expect you quoting the bible either." Brittany shrugs and chuckles.
" Like I said I would do anything to make everyone happy, that was one of the hardest parts thank you for coming with me sis." Emily smiles and kisses her sister on the cheek
" Anytime Britt and I kinda missed this just the two of us." Brittany nods her head and smiles.
" I did too and we will do this, a lot more San understands and Kev too they will have a day together and will get to know each other better too." Emily nods her head in agreement and jumps out of the car, Brittany follows her sister after locking her car and wraps an arm around her waist.
After shopping for two hours Brittany and Em walk back to Brittany's car and pack the bags in the trunk, Brittany turns around as she hears her name and smiles as she sees a little girl standing behind her.
She crouches down in front of the girl and smiles. " Hello." The little girl looks at her and smiles brightly.
" You are Brittany from Brittana." Brittany nods her head and smiles.
" I am do you want an autograph and picture?"
Emily smiles as she sees the interaction and quickly takes out her phone, the little girls eyes grow wide and she quickly nods her head. She turns around and yells for her mother, Brittany looks up as she sees a woman with red hair walking towards them and stands up.
" Mommy can I take a picture with Brittany?" The woman looks at Brittany and chuckles nodding her head.
" Of course baby." She turns to Brittany and smiles. " You just made her day, she is a big fan of your music and her birthday wish was a card from you."
Brittany smiles and looks down at the girl. " When is your birthday little one?" The little girl looks up and smiles.
" Friday." Emily sees an idea pop up in her sisters head and chuckles, she looks at the little girl and calls her over.
" Hey little one, look here is a picture from Brittana." The little girl takes the picture and squeals, Brittany turns to the mother and smiles slightly.
" I can talk to my girlfriend and manager if she finds it okay that we visit your daughter on her birthday with our boys if you want, we can maybe sing two songs and make some pictures with her."
The woman's jaw drops and she looks at her with wide eyes. " That would be amazing!" She quickly searches through her purse and takes out her card. " Here is my card with number."
Brittany takes the card and smiles, she looks at the little girl and picks her up. " What is your name princess?"
The little girl giggles and wraps an arm around Brittany's neck. " Alice."
" So how about we take some pictures and after that I will sign that picture in your hand?" Alice quickly nods her head and turns to her mother, Brittany smiles as she sees Emily standing next to Alice's mother and tickles Alice.
After making three pictures, Brittany puts the girl back down and quickly signs the picture. After saying goodbye and promising to call Brittany jumps in the car and dials Sue's number, she drives down the road and smiles as Sue immediately answers.
" Hey Brittany everything okay?"
" Hey Sue yeah everything is okay, um is it possible to do a little concert on Friday?"
She smiles as Sue chuckles and stops at a red light. " How little, for who, and what does San say?"
" Five kids and their parents, for a little fan her birthday is Friday and no I wanted to ask you first."
She drives off as soon as the light turns green and rolls her window down a little.
" Yeah when San want to do it too then it's okay, shall I make a small price arrangement?"
" Yes please I told the mother I would call her as soon as possible, but first I will ask San if she wants to do it."
" Yeah that is okay Britt, how is San doing?"
" She is doing better, we have a date tonight and will talk more about everything."
" Okay well I have to go, greet everyone there and enjoy your vacation."
" Will do Bye Sue"
" Bye Britt."
Brittany ends the phone call and parks her car in the driveway, both girls jump out of the car and grab the bags. Emily opens the door for them and places the bags down, both girls walk into the living room and chuckle as they see Kev and Santana playing Mario Kart with the boys.
So this is the end of Chapter 22 part 1, part 2 will follow shortly.
