Chapter 9: 21!
Santana's POV
Friday 1st February 2019
It's Brittany's 21st birthday today and I've managed to take the day off work to spend all day with her. Everyone is coming over later for the party that we've organised but before that I want to spoil Brittany as much as I can because you only turn 21 once.
"I'm going to take a quick shower" Brittany says getting out of bed.
"Ok that's cool" I tell her. Once she goes to the bathroom, I decide to just go downstairs and make a start on breakfast. I was thinking since it's her birthday and everything then I might make Brittany pancakes because she really loves them. It's only about fifteen minutes before I hear movement on the stairs which I'm guessing is Brittany.
"What are you doing?" Brittany asks as she wraps her arms around my waist from behind.
"I'm making you breakfast, how does pancakes sound?" I reply.
"They sound amazing" she says kissing my cheek before going to sit at the table.
"I thought once you've eaten then you could open the presents that I got you" I suggest.
"Yeah that sounds cool" she says happily.
"So what kind of pancakes do…oh you're not dressed yet?" I ask noticing Brittany clad in nothing but a towel when I turn around for the first time to look at her.
"I was going to get dressed but then I realised you weren't upstairs so I came down here to see where you were" she replies.
"Well these aren't quite ready yet so if you want to run upstairs and throw some clothes on then you've got time" I tell her.
"Does my attire offend you right now?" she smirks.
"Definitely not so if you want to stay dressed like that then by all means do it" I reply while quickly stealing a kiss before going back to finish the pancakes.
As soon as we've finished eating breakfast, Brittany decided she would just quickly change since she was getting cold. We then got comfortable in the living room and Brittany began opening her presents. Her friends are bringing their gifts to her later when they come to the party but her parents and the rest of her family including me have already given her her presents from us so she's going to open them now.
"Hmm…this one doesn't make any noise" Brittany says while shaking the present in her hand.
"It doesn't so I guess you should just open it and find out what it is" I say laughing. The present is from me so I know exactly what it is.
"Ok" she shrugs while unwrapping the paper from the gift.
"Do you like it?" I ask once the gift is open.
"Are you kidding me, I love it!" she squeals while lunging towards me to hug me. "How did you know this was the necklace that I wanted?" she asks.
"It's a secret but let's just say I have my ways" I smile.
"Ok" she nods while smiling back.
"I actually got you something else to match the necklace, you should open it next" I say while handing her another wrapped gift.
"Oh…ok" she smiles while unwrapping the next gift. "Wow…that's beautiful babe" she says admiring the bracelet that matches the necklace.
"Do you want me to put them on for you?" I ask and Brittany nods. I place the necklace around her neck and then help her put the bracelet on her wrist.
"These must have cost a fortune babe, you didn't need to spend so much money on me" she tells me.
"I know but what else am I supposed to do with my money if I can't spoil you especially on your birthday" I shrug.
"You can spoil me all you want, I have no objections. I'm just saying though that you don't need to use all your life savings just to show me how much you love me" she smiles.
"Honey just enjoy your birthday and let me worry about my money" I say while kissing her.

"Are you having fun so far?" I ask Brittany as I approach her. The party started an hour ago so I haven't really seen much of her since everyone began to arrive. She's been so busy catching up with everyone and thanking them for her gifts.
"Yeah I'm having loads of fun and I'm so glad so many people could make it" she replies.
"Yeah me too" I smile.
"I know I said it before but I need to say it again, you are absolutely killing it in that dress tonight" Brittany leans in and kisses me.
"Thank you" I smile. "I bought it especially for tonight, you know with it being your birthday and all" I say.
"Really?" she asks. "I was sure I've seen you wear that before."
"Ok so I didn't buy it especially for tonight but it is a special dress" I point out.
"How so?" she asks curiously.
"Let's just say I wore this dress on a particularly special first date I had" I reply.
"Oh my god, I knew I recognised it. That was the dress you wore on our first date together except you had a little jacket on over it" Brittany says.
"Yeah exactly. It's a great dress but slightly revealing in places so I didn't want to come on too strong that night so I wore the jacket to cover up a little" I say.
"Well it looks fantastic on you" she says, "almost too good actually" she adds while leaning in to kiss me. I quickly kiss her back before wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Sorry to break up the moment you two are having but I wanted to give you your present Brittany" Mercedes says holding out a gift bag.
"Thank you" Brittany replies while taking the bag. "Did you come alone?" she asks.
"No I came with puck, Rachel and Sam" Mercedes replies. "Puck and Sam are parking the truck and I have no idea where Rachel went. She was right behind me but now she's not."
"It takes two people to park a truck?" I ask confused.
"No I think they're still fighting over Brittany's birthday present. They both bought you the same thing Brittany so they're arguing over who got it first or something" Mercedes replies while rolling her eyes.
"Oh that doesn't bother me" Brittany says.
"I know but you know what they're like, they're always competing with one another over stuff" Mercedes says just as Rachel joins us.
"Happy birthday Britt" Rachel says handing Brittany a present.
"Thanks Rach" Brittany smiles. "What happened to you because Mercedes said you travelled together?"
"Oh I just had to quickly use the bathroom to…"
"Spare us the details would you" I say and immediately Rachel glares at me. I just love annoying her all the time.
"I was just going to say I was fixing my makeup" Rachel states while glaring at me again. I really don't understand her problem with me. Ever since we met, she just seemed to dislike me so instead of worrying about it, I just annoy her. If she isn't grown up enough to tell me her problem then I'm just going to act immature back.
"Oh here's Sam and Puck" Mercedes says as they walk over to us.
"Happy birthday Brittany" Sam says giving Brittany the small wrapped gift he had.
"Thanks Sam" she smiles taking the gift.
"Happy Birthday Britt" Noah says while leaning in to her. I can only hope he's going to kiss her cheek.
"Uh…Puck, that's not my cheek" Brittany laughs.
"Come on it's your birthday and your 21, a little kiss on the lips won't hurt" he states.
"Yeah you might want to watch yourself tonight Noah because that wasn't a very wise move" I say extremely annoyed. "No one kisses my fiancée like that, are we clear?" I snap.
"Crystal clear Lopez" he replies. I'm not an overly jealous person but kissing Brittany on the lips was not on. I know everyone thinks it's funny and he's harmless really but I just don't like the guy. I mean he tried it on with me the first time I met him but I wasn't the least bit amused. It was before he found out I liked girls and not guys but still, it was weird and uncomfortable.
"Puck got you the same gift as me" Sam states as Brittany opens the gift from Noah after she opened Sam's gift.
"No I actually got the gift first so it was Sam that copied me" Noah says while glaring at Sam.
"I don't see the big deal to be honest, it's just some chocolate you're fighting over" Rachel sighs.
"Look I don't mind that you both got me the same thing because it is actually one of my favourite kinds of chocolate" Brittany says politely. "I appreciate you both getting me a gift so thanks" she smiles.
"There's food laid out in the kitchen if you guys are hungry" I say. "Although I think my dad and brothers are making their way through it so you might want to get some of the good stuff before its gone" I point out.
"I haven't actually eaten since lunch so I might go and make myself a plate" Sam replies.
"Yeah we'll come too" Rachel says.
"Aren't you coming Puck?" Mercedes asks when she notices Noah isn't following them.
"No I'm just going to stay here for a moment" Noah replies.
"You want to stay there and act like a third wheel while those two can't keep their hands off one another?" Rachel questions.
"No I'm just…you know not very hungry" Noah shrugs while staring at the corner of the room. As soon as I look over I realise he's staring at Emma and some of Brittany's friends from college.
"Noah they're not interested in you" I state.
"Oh they're interested in me, I can assure you" he smirks. "They're just playing hard to get."
"No, they're really not" I say laughing when I see one of Brittany's friends glare at him and turn away.
"Puck just go and get some food and stop creeping out my friends" Brittany states while shaking her head.
"I don't want food Brittany" Noah says getting annoyed.
"Well we're going to get food" Sam says while leaving with Mercedes and Rachel following him.
"Is he always like that?" I ask.
"Yeah he'd pretty much do anyone with legs" Brittany sighs.
"Oh men too?" I smirk.
"Don't be stupid Lopez, I like girls and that's all I'm ever going to like" Noah snaps.
"Alright Noah calm down" I say laughing.
"Brittany for the tenth time can you please tell your girlfriend to stop calling me Noah, no one calls me Noah" he says.
"Noah is your name is it not?" I ask.
"Yes but everyone calls me Puck" he states.
"Well I'm just not going to do that" I reply. "Perhaps if you stopped calling me Lopez then I might consider it but as of right now, you're Noah" I tell him.
"Hey did Brittany ever tell you that we slept together back in the day?" he asks.
"Don't listen to him, he's just trying to get a rise out of you because he hates being called Noah" Brittany says.
"Actually Brittany did tell me and she's definitely glad she upgraded when she met me" I whisper to him and Brittany bursts out laughing.
"Whatever" Noah says while walking away in a huff.
"Well done baby" Brittany smiles.
"It's your sister and college friends I feel sorry for now since he's making his way over to them" I tell her.
"Somehow I am pretty sure Emma can handle him" she smiles. "I should probably go and see my parents for a while, I haven't talked to them yet" she says.

The party is really in full swing now. After Brittany went to talk to her parents, I went to the kitchen to check on the cake that I'll present her with later. I wanted to make sure it looked ok and it wasn't melting from the heat in there. I'm now just getting myself a drink when Brittany comes over to me.
"Do you want a drink Britt?" I ask.
"No thank you" she shakes her head.
"Are you ok?" I ask as she hugs me and buries her face in my neck. "If someone upset you then I'll go and kick their ass, don't defend them" I say while placing my glass down.
"No, I'm fine" she says laughing. "I'm just a little cold that's all" she tells me.
"Oh right, well do you want me to run upstairs and get you something?" I ask.
"No it's ok, I'll get it" she replies.
"Don't be silly, I'll go because it's your birthday so let me just run around after you for today" I say.
"Ok, thank you" she smiles before kissing me.
"I'll be right back in a second, ok" I say and Brittany nods. I then head upstairs to one of the guest rooms where Brittany keeps some of her clothes that she doesn't wear on a day to day basis. As soon as I open the bedroom door, I wish I hadn't because there is Quinn and Jason sitting on the bed making out. "You two have to be kidding me right now" I sigh.
"Santana what are you doing here?" Jason asks quickly.
"Hmm let me think, what am I doing in my own home…?" I say pretending to think. "Do you know I have no idea" I say sarcastically.
"We meant why are you up here right now since most of the guests are downstairs?" Quinn asks.
"I came to get Brittany a sweater because she's getting cold, not that it's any of your business" I state. "Anyway this is my house so you shouldn't be up here right now" I tell them.
"I just needed a moment to myself" Quinn says.
"Ok fair enough, you're pregnant so no wonder you just wanted a quiet moment but it doesn't explain why he's here" I say pointing to Jason.
"He has a name thank you very much" Jason glares.
"What's your excuse for being up here?" I ask him.
"I wanted to make sure Quinn was ok because she doesn't look that well" Jason replies.
"And why are you so concerned about Quinn all of a sudden?" I ask.
"I wanted to make sure everything was ok with the baby" he states.
"Ok and how do you explain your tongue down her throat?" I question.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Jason says while standing up from the bed.
"Don't lie to me, I saw you two" I state.
"Santana we weren't…"
"Do you really think I'm that stupid Quinn, I know how all of this works. You have a baby together and you bond but before you know it, he'll be back to screwing any random girl he can have" I state.
"Excuse me" Jason says angrily.
"Come on Jason, don't pretend you're ready for this. I'm not saying you won't step up as far as the baby is concerned but we all know you're not ready for a proper relationship" I say.
"What makes you think I'm not?" he asks.
"Perhaps the fact you have already kissed lots of other girls since Clare dumped your ass and Quinn told you she was pregnant" I answer.
"Are you kidding me?" Quinn shouts in anger before storming out of the room.
"What did you go and do that for?" Jason asks shaking his head.
"Are you telling me it's not true?" I ask raising my eyebrow.
"Ok maybe I kissed one or two girls but it didn't mean anything so you didn't need to upset Quinn" Jason says.
"Listen to me, yes you're my brother and I love you but so help me god if you hurt my best friend then I'll do more than hurt you" I tell him.
"You can't threaten me like that" he states.
"Oh can I not?" I ask.
"Whatever happens between Quinn and I is our business, not yours" he states, "so just butt the hell out."
"I won't let you lead my best friend on and then break her heart" I tell him. "This isn't just some random girl, she is the mother of your child so have some respect for her. Quinn means a lot to me so don't dare hurt her" I warn him.
"Maybe you should marry her and not Brittany then" Jason replies.
"I beg your pardon?" I ask extremely angry at his comment.
"You seem very interested in Quinn's business so why are you not marrying her instead of Brittany?" he asks. "You said yourself she means a lot to you."
"She's been my best friend for years Jason, of course she means something to me" I say. I sure as hell don't feel the same way about her as I do Brittany but she's still a part of my life.
"The way you keep meddling in all of this is becoming disturbing Santana. Perhaps you like Quinn more than you're letting on" he says.
"How dare you say something like that, you know how much I love Brittany" I say outraged at what he's saying.
"It's not nice is it, someone making things up about you?" he says.
"What?" I ask confused.
"You just accused me of breaking Quinn's heart which is something I would never do. I would never treat her in the way you're suggesting" he replies.
"But…"
"I think you just need to mind your own business Santana" he says walking to the door. "Oh and I know you love Brittany more than anyone so perhaps you could do the same and have some faith in me and know I would never hurt Quinn."
"Jason I…"
"Leave me alone Santana" he sighs while leaving. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings but based on the past, Jason was never interested in settling down. As soon as I get Brittany's sweater, I head back downstairs.
Brittany's POV
"Baby what's wrong?" I ask as I see Santana come storming down the stairs.
"This is your day Britt so don't worry about me right now. I'll tell you tomorrow" she replies while giving me the sweater.
"You look pissed off babe so just talk to me. I'd rather know you were ok than not know anything until tomorrow" I tell her.
"I just saw Quinn and Jason making out upstairs" she states.
"Oh wow" I say surprised. Quinn assured me it was just a crush she had on Jason and that nothing would ever happen. She just thought it was all the baby hormones and it'd go away in time.
"I love my brother but I'm worried he's going to break Quinn's heart. He's never been interested in a relationship and once the baby comes it's going to be even more doubtful because he'll be so stressed out with a new baby" she says.
"It's ok" I say hugging her.
"I've really messed up though because I think I've hurt his feelings" she admits. "I didn't mean to sound harsh when I said he wasn't interested in Quinn but I can't watch my best friend get hurt and I can't watch my brother make a big mistake."
"Santana, Jason has told us before that he wasn't ready to settle down right now so no one can blame you for how you feel. I admit myself that I was worried when Quinn said she had a crush on Jason because I didn't want her to get hurt either" I say.
"Every time I try to do the right thing, it seems everyone thinks it's wrong so I really can't win" she sighs.
"Santana I know everything you do is from good intentions so you can't beat yourself up like this. You're just a really caring person so you want everyone to be happy" I tell her. "You haven't done anything wrong, trust me."
"Quinn left the room upset and Jason is pissed at me. I wish I had just kept my damn mouth shut" she says.
"One of the many things I love about you is that you want to make sure everyone is happy" I say. "I know it might seem like you've done the wrong thing just now but in time you'll realise you did the right thing. I mean look at us, I know you thought you had rushed me when you proposed but in the end it actually made me realise I was ready for marriage. If you had never done that then I might not have got my act together and proposed to you. It's the same when we first met, if I hadn't kissed you that time then neither one of us would have realised we did actually like each and could have a chance together."
"You really think so?" she asks.
"I know so" I smile. "Look everyone says things get worse before they get better so it's all going to be ok" I say.
"When you put it like that then I guess you're right" she says. "I should go and make sure Quinn is ok though."
"That's cool, I'll go with you" I say and then we go to find Quinn.
"Hey you ok?" Santana asks when we see Quinn sitting alone outside.
"I was an idiot to think he hadn't been with anyone since Clare" Quinn replies.
"Honey you said yourself you knew what he was like" Santana says.
"I know but then we had a moment not so long ago and Jason assured me that he wasn't with anyone since Clare. He also told me that he liked me as more than just the mother of his child" Quinn sighs. "I'm such a fool aren't I for believing him?"
"I'm going to kill that little shit" Santana says angrily. "I knew all along something like this was going to happen but everyone just said I was overreacting."
"Ok fine you were right Santana but can't you just not do this right now, I don't feel all that great so I don't want to argue" Quinn says.
"Let me go and get you some water, I'll be back in a second" Santana says before going to the kitchen.
"I thought you weren't interested in a relationship with him?" I ask.
"I know what I said but I lied, I really liked him Brittany and he swore there hasn't been anyone else since Clare" Quinn replies.
"Oh, Quinn" I say sympathetically while putting my arm around her. "Why didn't you just tell me the truth?" I ask.
"Because you'd have to tell Santana since she's your fiancée and then I didn't want to deal with all of that. I knew she would think it was a bad idea" she replies.
"Santana cares about you and Jason so much, she's just scared that one of you would get hurt. She cares about others before she cares about herself" I point out. "I know it seems like she's mad at the idea of you and Jason but like I say that's only because she cares. Jason has said himself he wasn't ready to settle down with Clare even though he was with her for years so you can't blame Santana for trying to protect you."
"I don't blame her, I just wanted to believe that she could be wrong because I really like Jason" Quinn sighs.
"Lately I've had some time to think and I've realised that Santana has had to give up a lot for me. I mean I knew she'd given up some things for me but in the last few months I've only just realised how much and the extent of it" I say. "I admit I thought she was overreacting about you, Jason and the baby but now I realise she wasn't. Everything Santana does is for a good reason so I think you should listen to her."
"I will" quin nods.
"Here's your water Quinn" Santana says coming back outside and handing Quinn the bottle of water.
"Thanks" Quinn replies.
"Just tell me what's going on with you and Jason" Santana says while taking a seat next to us.
"I like him, I mean like really like him as in more than just a friend" Quinn answers. "I have done for some time and when I eventually built up the courage to tell him he said he liked me too. We agreed to just see how things went and take things slowly but before I could do that, I wanted to know if he had been with anyone since he found out I was pregnant. He told me no so like the idiot I am, I believed him."
"I hate to say this but I've seen it with my own eyes, I know there has been a few girls since Clare" Santana says.
"I know I should have listened to you more" Quinn sighs. "You're my best friend and you've always had my back so I'm sorry" she says.
"It's ok" Santana nods.
"If you don't mind, I think I'm just going to go home now. Today has been quite a lot so I just need to get some rest" Quinn says.
"No that's fine, I understand" Santana says. "Just text me when you get home so I know you got home safely."
"I will" Quinn says and then heads home.
"I tried to warn them that something like this would happen" Santana says.
"I know you did baby and we're all idiots for not seeing it" I say putting my arm around her.
"I'm so pissed at Jason right now, I don't know what he was thinking" she says shaking her head. "He told her he hadn't been with anyone when clearly he has, now that's messing with someone's feelings."
"Hey wait a second babe" I say when Santana goes to go inside.
"Ok" she says turning around. I don't say anything else, I just lean in and kiss passionately. "What was that for?" she smiles.
"I love you so much" I tell her.
Santana's POV
Tuesday 19th February 2019
Brittany's not long just got home from work whereas I got home a while ago so I was just lying in bed reading when she arrived.
"I had a horrible night at work" Brittany groans as she gets into bed next to me. "Some idiot called me blondie and I really hate that and then his idiot friend started snapping his fingers at me to pour him more coffee. I mean whatever happened to manners, that's just rude to snap your fingers at someone."
"Come here" I say pulling her closer to me and wrapping my arms around her. "You're home now and I'm here so just forget about it" I tell her.
"College wasn't much better today but I'm so glad tomorrow's classes are cancelled and we have study time at home because I really could use the morning off. Did I tell you I agreed to work this coming weekend?" Brittany says.
"No you didn't babe" I say hugging her tighter.
"I didn't particularly want to but I felt obligated to say yes because they seemed really desperate for cover" she replies. "I suppose it's a little extra money for me" she shrugs.
"Hey how about we take your mind of tonight, I know a really good way to distract you" I say wiggling my eyebrows.
"I could really use a distraction you know" she smiles while leaning up to kiss me. Just as I'm about to kiss back, my phone rings.
"I should really get that, it might be important" I say leaning over Brittany to grab my phone. I would have left it but it's just after ten o'clock and I don't think anyone would call me right now if it wasn't important.
"Ok" Brittany replies before placing her hand on my butt.
"Babe, please" I say and she nods to say she'll stop. "Hello" I then say answering the phone.
"Hey it's me" Jason replies.
"Is everything…uh…ok" I ask as Brittany feels it's an appropriate time to now grope my crotch since I'm still leaning over her.
"Quinn's in labour right now…Santana I think I'm about to be a dad and I don't know what to do" Jason replies getting panicked.
"Oh my god, Quinn's in labour" I say in shock as I push Brittany's hand away.
"Ouch babe" she frowns.
"Are you at the hospital right now or are you making your way there?" I ask.
"I'm there right now but no one else is here with us yet and I don't know what to do. Can you come to the hospital?" he asks.
"Of course, I'm on the way" I say.
"Ok hurry" he says before hanging up the phone.
"Quinn's went into labour and Jason doesn't know what to do. He's freaking out so I'm going to have to go to the hospital" I say while quickly finding some clothes to wear.
"Ok well I'm coming with you, it's my niece or nephew too right?" Brittany smiles.
"Of course it is" I smile back. As soon as we're both changed into something appropriate, we quickly grab our purses and keys before running out to my car.
"So what's the deal with Quinn and Jason at the moment?" Brittany asks. "I haven't really saw either of them very much since my birthday."
"Quinn thinks it's best to forget about what happened and go with what they had planned originally where they only communicate about the baby and leave their personal lives out of it" I reply. "Once Jason and I smoothed things over, he told me that he only told Quinn there wasn't anyone else because he didn't want her to get the wrong impression of him. He admitted to me that he really liked her but was worried she'd think differently about him if he admitted hooking up with a few girls."
"So basically they really meant nothing to him so he didn't want Quinn to get the wrong idea and think he could do that to her?" Brittany asks.
"Yeah" I nod. "I think he really does like her but Quinn won't let him explain so who knows what'll happen next. All I know is I need to be there for both of them" I say.
"Well I think you're simply amazing so anyone who has you on their side is bound to be ok in the end" she smiles while comfortingly placing her hand on my leg. Two minutes later, we arrive at the hospital and dash inside to find Quinn and Jason.
"We're here for Quinn Fabray, can you tell me which way to go?" I ask as we reach the reception desk.
"Go that way then take a sharp left and she's in the second delivery suite" the receptionist replies and we dash off again to find Quinn.
"Oh here we are" I say as I see Jason through the window. As I go to walk inside I notice Brittany standing still.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Perhaps I should wait here just now, I mean Quinn will be lying…you know…exposed or whatever. She won't want an audience plus I'd feel just as uncomfortable as she would" Brittany replies.
"I thought I heard voices, look will you just get in here Santana because I'm freaking out so Quinn is freaking out and mom and dad are nowhere to be found and Quinn's parents went out of town last night thinking Quinn wouldn't have the baby until at least another week" Jason says panicked.
"You go babe, like I say I will wait here" Brittany smiles.
"IF THAT'S SANTANA, GET HER IN HERE NOW!" I hear someone scream and by the sounds of it, it's Quinn.
"That's what I'm dealing with Santana, so a little help would be nice" Jason admits.
"Ok I'm coming, you go ahead" I say and Jason quickly goes back into the room. "Honey do you really think I want to see Quinn exposed either?" I ask.
"But she's your best friend" Brittany says.
"I know and that's why it'd be uncomfortable for me. No pressure babe but I'd feel better with you in the room with me, I mean all you need to do is stand well out the way while I help Quinn breathe" I say.
"As long as Quinn is ok with me being in the room then I can be there" Brittany says.
"She'll be fine" I say.
"Ok let's go then" Brittany says so we walk into the room.
"Thank god you're here Santana, Jason has been freaking out which is totally freaking me out. Please tell me I'm not going to have a baby with three heads or something?" Quinn says.
"You won't, it'll be ok" I say as calmly as possible. I'm slightly apprehensive about being in the room right now because I hate to see anyone in pain so I just hope it's over soon.

It really wasn't long after Brittany and I arrived that the baby was finally born. My parents have only just arrived so they missed the birth but overall everything seemed to be ok in the end. Jason is now cradling the new baby in his arms.
"That's the cutest thing I've ever seen" I say fondly to Brittany. I can't believe my brother is a father now. It seems like just yesterday that I got to hold him for the first time.
"I want one" Brittany whispers in my ear.
"I beg your pardon?" I almost shout in shock while turning my head to look at her.
"I want one" she says adoringly looking at the baby.
"I thought you wanted to wait a while?" I ask. "You said you were too busy at the moment" I say.
"I know but look at that" she smiles.
"You've just got baby fever" I state.
"Don't brush it off Santana, I'm being serious. I want one sooner rather than later" she replies.
"What about uni and work?" I ask.
"You've said yourself you think we could manage and plus who cares about all that worrying when you have something so beautiful in your arms" she says.
"Ok well if you feel you're ready then I'm ready" I tell her. "You know I'll be happy whenever we have children."
That's all for chapter 9, let me know what you think. I'll probably move the story on a couple of months again so the wedding will be coming up really soon. Also does anyone have any preferences on what their last name should be, Lopez? Pierce? Lopez-Pierce? Or Pierce-Lopez?
