Chapter 30: Fun times
Brittany's POV
Tuesday 2nd March 2021
Aiden is with Santana's brother Eddie and Kitty tonight so I've planned a romantic night for the two of us. I know it's in the middle of the week but I feel we both need it to get back on track. The last few days have been tough so I'm looking forward to a chilled out night.
I'm just in the middle of laying the table when I hear something behind me. I turn around and see Santana at the door.
"Uh…hello" she smiles walking into the room. "What's going on here?" she asks slightly surprised while looking around the room to see all the lit candles.
"You and I are going to get a little romantic tonight" I smile.
"Sounds good" she smiles back while walking over to me. "You look beautiful by the way" she says while leaning in to kiss me.
"Dinner is almost ready so why don't you get comfortable here in the dining room and I'll bring the food through in a second" I tell her.
"Ok but hold on a second" Santana says frowning. "Where's my favourite little guy?" she asks looking around for Aiden.
"He's staying with your brother tonight, remember?" I frown in confusion.
"Oh is that tonight, I could have sworn it was tomorrow night" she states. "I never even got to say a proper goodbye this morning because I was thinking I'd see him tonight."
"Babe you spent 5 minutes saying goodbye" I tell her.
"Yes but if I remembered he wasn't going to be here tonight then I'd have spent a little more time" she replies.
"Look how about we call your brother in a little while and you can say goodnight to him" I suggest.
"Yeah let's do that" she nods.
"Ok so you go on through and get comfortable and I'll be there in a second" I say.
"Ok" Santana smiles while kissing my cheek before she leaves. I then make my way to the kitchen to plate up the food before joining Santana. "Wow it all looks lovely" she smiles down at the food.
"Let's just hope it tastes lovely" I chuckle.
"I'm sure it will" she reassures me.
"So your favourite little guy might not be here but I hope you still enjoy your night with your favourite girl" I say looking at her and smiling.
"Of course I will" she says leaning in to kiss me.
"There you go" I say smiling while handing Santana a glass of wine. "Don't worry mine is just sparkling grape juice" I reassure her. We then begin eating and talking.
"So what's this in aid of?" she asks smiling.
"We're celebrating" I shrug.
"Celebrating?" she asks intrigued, "and what might that be that we're celebrating?"
"The fact I'm pregnant and how awesome you're going to be raising another child" I smile.
"I see" she nods smiling. "I like this idea so why don't we raise a toast to the future. Here's to an exciting new chapter in our life" she says while raising her glass.
"I agree" I smile while clinking my glass with Santana's. "I must admit I am still a little nervous but I am looking forward to bringing another child up with you" I smile.
"I'm looking forward to it too" she smiles back.
Once we're finished eating dinner, Santana helps me to clear up. I said I would do it all because I wanted her to rest but she insisted she would help me. She says I need to start taking things easy now that I'm pregnant but I'm really not that far along so I want to do stuff. I knew protesting wouldn't end well so I just let her help me so we didn't spoil our night.
"Hey let's take this some place comfier" I say while leading Santana to the living room. We sit down on the couch next to one another.
"I know I said it already but thank you for dinner tonight, it was lovely" Santana smiles.
"You're welcome" I say smiling back.
"What would you like to do now, do you want to watch some TV?" she asks looking at me.
"I'm ok with just being with you just now" I say honestly.
"Ok" Santana replies.
"Do you know you're so beautiful" I smile while gently moving a strand of hair from Santana's face.
"Thank you" she smiles sweetly at me.
"I'm serious, you're the most beautiful girl in the world" I tell her genuinely.
"As much as I like the compliment, what's going on babe?" she asks curiously. "You seem to be getting very sentimental tonight which of course I love but we don't do this that much."
"I just want you to know how much you mean to me that's all" I shrug. "I mean you are right, we don't get to do this kind of thing a lot since we're parents now so I just wanted to reassure you tonight while I could that I really love you."
"I know you really love me, you don't need to keep reassuring me" she smiles while taking my hand in hers. "I really love you too, by the way."
"This might not be an easy journey for us so I need to do this so I know that you know how much you mean to me and whatever happens I will always love you" I reply. In all honesty I need to reassure myself that Santana is reassured if that makes sense. I need to know for sure that she knows we'll be ok.
"Ok, I get that" she smiles.
"Don't get me wrong that and celebrating us having a baby is the main reason for doing this but there is also another reason" I say with a slight smirk on my face.
"Hmm…I wonder what that could be" Santana smirks back.
"Yeah I wonder" I tease while moving so I can be closer to her and can put my arm around her. She smiles back at me before placing her head on my shoulder.
"This is probably the happiest I've ever been" Santana smiles at me.
"Do you think so?" I ask.
"Yeah don't you?" she replies. "I mean aren't you happy right now?" she asks looking up at me.
"Yeah I am happy but I think the happiest time for us will be when this little baby comes" I say while gently placing my hand on my stomach. "It's a really nerve wracking time right now with the uncertainty so once our baby is here then we can finally relax."
"I suppose that's true" Santana nods.
"I also feel bad for Aiden sometimes because even though he's still really young I still feel he needs a brother or sister. I mean of course he has us but it'll be good for him to have company close to his age because you and I have each other whereas he's an only child right now. I feel bad sometimes when we have nights like this" I admit.
"Yeah I know what you mean" she agrees.

"Hey are you ok, you've been really quiet the last 15 minutes or so?" Santana asks in concern.
"Yeah I'm fine" I wave it off.
"Are you sure?" she asks turning around to give me her full attention.
"Well I mean I have been feeling kinda funny recently" I admit.
"What like your mood feels a little off or do you mean you're in pain or something?" she asks worriedly.
"It's not a pain, it's just a weird feeling" I tell her.
"Where about?" she asks.
"I'll show you" I say while taking her hand in mine. I grip it tightly while moving it to near my stomach. "It's like right here" I say while moving her hand further down and placing it on the inside of my thigh.
"I see what this is, you're getting turned on" she smirks. "You don't feel off at all do you, you just want me?" she questions.
"Yeah you got me" I smirk back.
"If I didn't want you so bad right now I'd probably have gotten annoyed with you" she tells me. "You made me think there was something wrong with the baby and you weren't feeling well, you got me panicked for a second."
"I'm sorry but in all fairness it is true that I'm feeling something" I point out. "I might not be feeling ill but I am certainly feeling something."
Santana's POV
Saturday 20th March 2021
I'm sitting in the kitchen with Aiden giving him his breakfast when Brittany walks into the kitchen.
"Morning" she says cheerfully. She comes over to us and kisses Aiden on the head before going to the fridge to pour herself some juice. "Did you sleep well?" she asks turning around to look at me.
"Yeah I suppose I did" I shrug. "You?" I ask.
"I slept brilliantly since you were beside me" she smiles before walking over to the toaster. I'm slightly confused right now, I mean I like that Brittany is happy but she's in an unusually chipper mood this morning. I thought she might have been feeling a bit sick since her morning sickness is still here. "Have you eaten?" she asks me.
"Yeah I woke up quite early so I just ate while Aiden was still asleep. I would have made you something but I didn't want to wake you" I reply.
"It's ok babe, don't worry about it" she smiles. She makes herself some toast before sitting down at the table with Aiden and I.
"Can I get a kiss please?" I ask Aiden but he shakes his head.
"You can certainly get one from me" Brittany leans in and kisses me passionately.
"Oh…um…I was talking to Aid" I say blushing slightly. Don't get me wrong, it's not like we never kiss but recently Brittany has been a lot more affectionate with me and sometimes it catches me off guard. I can tell she's a lot happier at the moment and it really has reflected on our relationship in a good way.
"I know but he didn't reply so I took the opportunity" she smiles shrugging slightly. "I couldn't leave those beautiful lips without a kiss so I just jumped in."
"Ok" I smile back. "Why are you so cheerful this morning?" I ask curiously.
"It's the weekend and since I'm not working this week then I get to spend lots of time with you and Aiden" she replies. "I've got so much planned for us to do this week and it's going to be really fun" she tells me.
"Yeah I'm looking forward to a work free week this week" I admit. "Actually speaking of work, I have something in my work bag that I meant to take out. Can you keep an eye on Aiden for a second?" I say while getting up from the table.
"Yeah of course" Brittany smiles. A few seconds later I return to the kitchen with a wrapped present in my hand. "Baby no" she sighs as soon as she sees what I have. "Aiden has enough new things so I don't think he needs another gift. You spoil him more than you need to Santana."
"This is not for Aid, this is for you" I smile at her before handing her the gift.
"For me?" she asks surprised while taking the present anyway.
"Yeah for you from Aiden and me" I say.
"Ok" she smiles before beginning to unwrap it. "Babe you really shouldn't have, I love it" she says while taking the charm bracelet out of the box.
"It's got 3 charms on it already with an A, B and an S but there's space for another one once the baby comes" I tell her.
"I really love it so thank you" Brittany says while kissing me quickly before kissing Aiden. "You do realise you just mentioned the baby in front of Aiden right?" she whispers.
"Yeah I just realised but maybe we could just tell him because I don't like us keeping something from him" I say honestly. It's not like we didn't want to tell him but we just didn't want anyone to know too early but I honestly think it's going to be ok. Plus I'm not sure if he'll understand that much anyway so it's not like he'll tell everyone before we do.
"Yeah you're probably right" Brittany nods in agreement.
"Aid can you sit still for a minute please because mommy and I need to talk to you sweetheart" I say to Aiden.
"Ok" he shrugs while turning to look at me.
"You know how you wanted more people to play with?" I ask and he nods. "Well now you're going to get a little brother or sister to play with because mommy is carrying your sibling."
"Uh…" he looks at me confused for a second.
"There's going to be a baby soon sweetheart" Brittany tells him. "There's a baby in here and it's going to be your brother or sister" she says pointing to her stomach.
"Baby?" he asks pointing to Brittany's stomach.
"Yes that's right" I nod.
"Baby!" he screams excitedly once he realises what we mean.
"Yes a baby" I say laughing at him. He is just so cute sometimes.
"It won't be here for another little while though" Brittany tells him.
"Play with it?" Aiden asks looking up at me.
"Yes you can play with the baby as soon as it comes" I smile at him. "But for the time being, why don't you play with your teddy right now because he looks lonely and mommy and I need to tidy up" I say while handing him his teddy bear.
"He seemed to take that well didn't he?" Brittany says as we begin tidying up.
"Yeah he seemed to" I say while smiling over at Aiden. "Hey I was just thinking this family dinner might be a nice way to tell everyone tonight about the baby" I suggest.
"Yeah I agree" Brittany smiles.

We're all at my parents' house for dinner tonight. We don't get a lot of time to get together as a family and tonight everyone seemed free so my mom decided to invite everyone over and cook. Brittany's mom offered to help cook as well since there would be so many of us.
"This is nice isn't it, the whole family all together" my mom says as we all sit down to eat.
"Yeah it is mom" I say smiling at her.
"Apart from Christmas or thanksgiving we never have the whole family together so tonight is really nice" Brittany says.
"It's actually worked out quite well for us because Eva and I have something to say" Brittany's brother Scott says.
"Oh you do?" Brittany's mom asks confused.
"Yes we have a special announcement" Scott says excitedly. "Do you want to tell them babe or should I?" he asks looking at my sister.
"I'll do it" Eva smiles.
"Hurry up then" I say getting slightly impatient.
"Well…Scott and I are having a baby" Eva announces proudly.
"Well shit" I say shaking my head. I must admit I think it was slightly loud since everyone is now staring at me.
"Way to congratulate your sister Santana, thank you" Eva says sarcastically while glaring at me. "It's not like it's my first child or anything."
"Honey I'm sorry, it just slipped out" I say apologetically before everyone starts crowding around them to hug them and congratulate them.
"What was with the reaction anyway to Scott and Eva's news?" Emma asks looking at me.
"Because Britt and I kind of have something to say" I point out.
"Yeah we're sorry to steal your thunder guys but just tell them Santana" Brittany says looking at me.
"Ok" I squeal in excitement. "Well I'm having another baby."
"Wow I did not think that was physically possible but congratulations Santana" Eddie smirks.
"Ok so Brittany is having the baby but what I mean is I'm getting another baby" I say.
"Um excuse me" Brittany clears her throat.
"Sorry, we're both going to be parents again, not just me Brittany too" I say.
"Well we're all really happy for all of you" my dad says.
As soon as dinner is finished, we all help to clear up before going outside. We promised Aiden and Harry that we would all play a game outside with them. Brittany really wanted to join in so we figured football wasn't the best game to play for someone pregnant so we've settled on something with less physical contact.
"So who are the team captains?" my dad asks.
"Me!" I shout while waving my hand in the air. It's like a ritual with my siblings and I where I am always the team captain.
"Ok Santana but we need more than one since there are two teams" my dad says laughing.
"Alright well how about Emma because we all know she's as competitive as me and she and I like to compete with one another anyways" I suggest.
"I can be down with that" Emma nods.
"That's settled then, Santana and Emma are our team captains" my dad says. "If each of you just want to take turns picking someone for your team."
"Ok you can go first Santana since you were named captain first" Emma states.
"I agree" I smirk at her to wind her up before turning to everyone else. "Ok the obvious first choice for my team is Aiden" I say while going to pick him up.
"Mom I play" he says excitedly while moving about in my arms.
"That's right you're going to play" I smile at him before turning to Emma. "Your turn Em" I say smiling.
"It's Emma to you and I pick Brittany" she says smirking back at me.
"Bitch" I mutter under my breath because Brittany was clearly going to be on my team.
"Santana watch your language please around Aiden" my mom warns.
"Fine" I roll my eyes at her. "Ok so I'll pick Jason next" I say pointing to my brother. Eventually Emma and I pick our teams and we get started on the game. It's basically just a watered down game of baseball since we're playing with small children and several pregnant women. Not only is my wife and my sister pregnant but Kitty is about 7 months pregnant too so Eddie will never forgive me if something happened to her.
"Honey I'm about to bat and you're standing a little close to me. Maybe you should move over a little so you don't get hurt" I tell Brittany who is standing too close to me right now.
"Ok I'll move in a second but I want to say something first. If you mess up hitting the ball, I'll make it worth your while tonight" she smirks before moving away. Ok, this is a shitty situation. I obviously love Britt and would do anything for her but at the same time I'm really competitive so I really want to win this game and wipe the smug look off Emma's face.
"Santana are you ready because I'm going to throw the ball now" Scott states.
"Yeah, I'm sorry" I nod before getting into position to bat the ball. As soon as he throws it, I hit it as hard as I can before I take off running.
"Ok, fine" Brittany shrugs pretending not to care. "I know where your head is at tonight so I guess you don't want anything special from me."
"Baby I do but I had to hit that ball because you guys are way ahead of my team in points. I'll let your team win babe, I just can't let you win by that much though" I tell her honestly.
"It's ok, I understand. You want to win this game more than you want sex, its fine" she shrugs again.
After playing for another while, we eventually end the game. My team only just won by a very narrow margin but that doesn't mean I wouldn't tease Emma about losing. Even though I promised Brittany I would let Emma's team win, it was out of my control in the end because no matter how hard I tried to lose the game my teammates just played even better.
"So are you excited to get a little brother or sister Aiden?" my mom asks while picking him up.
"Yes" Aiden nods his head excitedly.
"Hey ask your mom and gran where babies come from Aid" Jason says smirking at me as he walks over to us.
"You think you're funny but the jokes on you because he's too young to even know how to ask that or what any of it means" I state.
"Ok whatever" Jason says waving it off. "Well I'm going to get a drink, do either of you want one?"
"No I'm ok thank you" I reply.
"Yeah I'm fine as well but thank you" my mom smiles.
"Ok" Jason smiles and then walks off.
"So how do you feel about getting all these grandkids?" I ask my mom. "You have two grandsons already and then Eddie is about to have his first child and now Britt and Eva are both pregnant."
"I'm looking forward to it but whenever all the kids come over at the one time it's going to be a very energetic night, I can feel it" she laughs.
"You should be used to it because you did raise 4 children" I reason.
"I know but it's been a really long time since I had 4 small children running around" she points out. "Anyway enough about me, what about you? I bet you're really looking forward to having another baby."
"Yeah I really am but I think that'll be it after that" I say honestly.
"Just 2 kids?" my mom asks surprised.
"Yeah I think so" I nod, slightly confused why my mom is surprised at that.
"Santana you used to always say you wanted at least 4 children because you loved having siblings. I mean yes you always tease each other but you 4 loved that" she replies.
"I know but I can't let myself think about that right now because I'm not sure it's what Brittany wants. This pregnancy isn't going to be easy on her so I think this is where we'll stop" I admit. I won't put any more pressure on Brittany plus Aiden and the new baby are going to be all I need.
"You're still young Santana so I wouldn't completely rule it out, never say never sweetheart" she tells me. "I mean I understand why Brittany might want to wait a little while but I can definitely see more children eventually."
"I suppose" I nod.
"Anyway come here, I want to hug my daughter to congratulate her" my mom smiles while putting one arm around me since she's holding Aiden in the other.
"Yes we know Santana is great and she's currently in the lead with giving you grandchildren but at least hug all your children mom" Jason shakes his head playfully while walking over to us with Quinn and Harry.
"Quinn you better watch yourself, 3 out of the 4 Lopez kids are all having children soon so Jason might surprise you one night and the next thing you know you'll be pregnant just like the rest of the ladies here" I smirk.
"I wouldn't mind that" Quinn smiles at Jason.
"Ok Santana, you went somewhere you didn't need to and now all you can see is your best friend's turned on face" I say scrunching my face up in disgust.
"Excuse me, how would you know that face" Jason asks worriedly.
"That's what I would like to know" Brittany says playfully while joining us.
"Of course I don't know it but I can only imagine that's what it was because it was a horrible face" I state.
"I see" Brittany nods. "Anyway I only came over here to say we should probably be going now because it's way later than Aiden's bedtime."
"Yeah you're right" I nod in agreement. "Well thank you for dinner mom, it was great" I say while taking Aiden from her.
"Yes it really was" Brittany smiles.
Once we get Aiden ready and say goodnight to everyone, we head home. Since it is pretty late for Aiden, we get him changed and put him straight to bed. I did have to read a short story to him first though because I knew he wouldn't fall asleep straight away.
"Just you and I now and a lovely big bed" I say as Brittany and I get changed.
"Yeah I suppose it is" she shrugs. "So would you like to use the bathroom first to get ready or shall I brush my teeth first?" she asks.
"Um…you go ahead" I say slightly confused at why she isn't taking my hint about the bed.
"Ok" she smiles before going to the bathroom. After about 5 minutes she comes back out. "It's free now" she smiles before getting into bed.
"Ok, I won't be long" I say while going into the bathroom to get ready. As soon as I'm done I join Brittany in bed.
"Well goodnight" she smiles before kissing my cheek and then turning around to face the opposite direction from me.
"Goodnight babe" I say laughing slightly at the whole situation. After giving it a second, I move to lie behind her and put my arms around her. "Are you tired?" I ask.
"Not really to be honest" she admits.
"Ok, good" I smirk to myself while moving again and gently pulling Brittany onto her back before straddling her. "For a minute I actually thought you were going to go to sleep" I say while leaning down to kiss her. Just as I'm about to reach her lips, she turns her head to the side so I end up kissing her cheek.
"Oh no, not tonight" she shakes her head. "You had your chance earlier baby and you blew it so we're not doing anything but sleeping."
"Wait, really?" I ask confused. I can't tell whether this is a joke or if she's serious.
"Yes really" she smirks.
"Babe you're smirking so I'm not sure if this is just to tease me or if you really mean it" I state.
"This was all your decision honey. You chose to win the game rather than have sex with me tonight so I'm just following your decision" she smiles.
"If we're really not going to do anything then why are you so happy right now?" I frown in confusion.
"Maybe because the sex isn't all that good anyways so I get more of a rush by not doing it than doing it. Do you get me?" she smiles again.
"We all know that's not true because you can't get enough of me sometimes plus you're the one that started this whole thing by saying what you did during the game earlier. If you didn't want it then you wouldn't have suggested making it worth my while" I tell her.
"Oh whatever" she waves it off realising I'm right.
"Look babe, cut the act and just admit you want me right now" I say smirking down at her.
"Ok fine, I want you so bad right now" she smiles.
"Good because I want you so bad too" I say while leaning down to kiss her.

Friday 26th March 2021
I woke up before Brittany this morning so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk to the baby before Aiden wakes up. I'm lying half way down the bed so I'm closer to her stomach. I'm just telling the baby how much I can't wait until they come and how Brittany can teach them to dance and I can teach them to sing and be a kickass lawyer.
"I really hope you're talking to our baby and not my crotch because that would be one hell of a trick if my crotch could do that" Brittany says interrupting me.
"Hey, I thought you were still asleep" I say looking up to her and smiling.
"I was but when I heard you talking I couldn't stay asleep. What you were saying was so cute" she smiles down at me.
"I love you" I say kissing Brittany's stomach before sitting up, "and I love you" I say while taking Brittany's lips in a passionate kiss.
"We love you too" she smiles. "So I think I hear Aiden waking up so we should probably go and see to him."
"Yeah you're right" I smile while getting out of bed. We then make our way to Aiden's room where he is indeed wakening up.
"Good morning sweetheart" Brittany says while lifting him up.
"Yes good morning handsome" I tell him while tickling his chin. "Shall we go and get you some breakfast?"
"Yes" he replies quietly while nodding since he's still a bit tired. Once we get downstairs we all have breakfast together before going back upstairs to get Aiden changed.
"Quinn and I are going for a run this morning, is that ok?" I ask while getting changed.
"Of course it's ok, you don't need to ask me babe" Brittany smiles.
"I just wanted to make sure you'd be ok with Aiden that's all" I say.
"Yeah I'll be fine, just make sure you're back in time for our appointment" she tells me.
"I will be, don't worry. There's no way I'm going to miss that" I assure her.
"Ok" she smiles. "So do I have time for a quick shower before you go?" she asks.
"Yes why would you like me to join you" I tease.
"I mean I wouldn't really be opposed to that but I was more asking because I need you to keep an eye on Aiden when I'm in the shower" she replies.
"Ok well yes I can watch Aid, you have your shower babe" I say while kissing her cheek.
"Thank you" she smiles before going to the bathroom. Once Brittany is finished and ready for the day, I head out on my run with Quinn.
"So my best friend is having another baby" Quinn smiles at me.
"I'm not actually having it but I know what you mean" I smile.
"I haven't really had a chance to speak to you since I found out so how are things going?" she asks looking over at me as we jog through the park.
"Yeah everything is fine" I smile.
"You always wanted a few children so you must be so happy" she points out.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Ok that doesn't sound happy" Quinn frowns in confusion.
"No I am happy, I'm over the moon really" I say honestly. "I'm just trying to hold back a bit because I'm worried about Brittany. I mean yes she's really happy right now but I'm just worried as the pregnancy progresses that won't be the case" I admit.
"Because of the whole eating disorder that she went through?" she asks looking at me.
"Yeah and how stressed out about everything she was. I mean I've promised to be there for her and do everything that I can but I can't physically go into her brain and tell it everything will be ok, you know" I say.
"I understand but even though Brittany might still be scared about relapsing or whatever, she has been through it before so she'll know now what to look out for so I really think it will be ok" Quinn replies.
"I know but I hate it when Brittany isn't well" I say honestly. I mean who would like to watch the person they love battle something.
"You just need to take each day as it comes and enjoy this time while you can" she tells me. "Sometimes worrying about worrying makes you worry more if that makes sense."
"Yeah I get that but it's easier said than done" I reply.
"That's right but right now Brittany seems to be really happy so I would take a positive approach to things at the moment. There is no way Brittany is worried at this stage so neither should you be. I saw the way she was with you the other night and I'm 100% certain there's nothing to fear right now" she assures me.
"We've actually got the first scan later today" I say.
"Oh that's exciting" Quinn smiles.
"Yeah it is isn't it" I say realising that maybe I do need to relax a little more right now.

"Aiden no running in the hospital please" Brittany warns him.
"Mommy…doggy" Aiden says looking up at Brittany before turning around and pointing at another child's stuffed toy.
"I know sweetheart but it's not your doggy" she tells him.
"Look we're early for the appointment so how about I just go to the gift shop and buy him something?" I suggest.
"Absolutely not Santana" Brittany shakes her head at me.
"But he…"
"No more toys Santana" she replies firmly.
"At least let me go to the car then and see if he has a toy in there because he'll only get bored without something to play with" I say.
"Ok that's fine" Brittany nods.
"Ok I'll be back in a few minutes" I say while turning to way away.
"Hold on a second" Brittany says pulling me back. "You're not taking this with you because knowing you you'll likely go to the gift shop" she states while taking my purse from me.
"The car keys are in it though" I point out.
"No they're in your pocket" Brittany smirks.
"Oh yeah so they are" I say playing dumb.
"I know your games babe" she states. Truth be told I was going to hit the gift shop and get Aiden something but I guess I'm not as smart as I think since Brittany found out.
"I'll be back in a second ok" I say before quickly heading off to the parking lot. As soon as I find something in the car for Aiden to play with, I make my way back into the hospital. "Hey Aiden, what's this?" I ask while holding up one of his stuffed toys that are shaped into a car.
"Car" he says excited while taking it from me.
"Ok sit there and play with it nicely please, ok?" I say looking at him and he nods. "He seems satisfied now" I say while sitting down next to Brittany.
"Do you know, you and I are going to have an argument at some point Santana" she states.
"What, why?" I ask surprised.
"Because I told you no more toys for Aiden and you were still going to get him one. I know you love him and want to spoil him but he needs some boundaries sometimes because we can't have him growing up thinking his mom will buy him everything" she tells me seriously.
"Ok, I'm sorry" I say.
"I love you and I love that you love him so much but we just need to reign it in a little bit" she says. "I'm not saying though don't buy him anything, let's just maybe not buy him something every day we're out. Just now and again as a treat, ok?"
"Yeah" I smile. "Does the rules apply to you as well or can I buy you something?" she asks.
"You don't need to buy me anything babe, honestly" she tells me.
"It's nice to be romantic sometimes and give each other little presents" I point out.
"I know honey and we can still do that, just not all the time though" she smiles.
"Ok" I nod.
"Come here" she says while pulling me closer to her so she can kiss me. We're only sitting for another 5 minutes before Brittany's name is called so we get Aiden and head to the doctor's room.
"Hi everyone, come in and take a seat. Brittany if you just want to get comfortable on the table that would be good" the doctor smiles.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"So how are we today?" the doctor asks.
"Pretty good actually" Brittany smiles. "I have Santana and Aiden with me so we're all excited for this today to see the baby."
"It feels like just yesterday you were here waiting to get your first ultrasound to see Aiden for the first time" the doctor smiles.
"Trust me, it feels like that to us too. I still can't believe Aiden is already one year old" I say smiling down at Aiden.
"Anyway I'm sure you're dying to get this scan done so let's make a start" the doctor smiles. "So Brittany, how is the morning sickness?"
"It's actually eased off quite a bit recently. It started off really bad but honestly I'm either used to it now or it's really not there because it doesn't even bother me" Brittany smiles.
"That's good then" the doctor nods. "Have you had any concerns so far this pregnancy?" she asks.
"Not really, no" Brittany says looking over at me.
"No everything seems to be going well so far" I smile.
"Excellent, I'll get started then" the doctor says while putting some gloves on. "Ok so if you want to just lift your shirt up for me Brittany that would be good" she says and Brittany does that. "I'm just going to put some gel on you but it's a bit cold."
"That's ok" Brittany smiles. The doctor puts some gel on her stomach and then starts the ultrasound machine. She moves the probe about for a few seconds before she settles it.
"There we go, that right there is your baby" the doctor says pointing to the screen.
"Oh wow" I say in amazement. "Aid can you see that sweetheart" I say while pointing to the screen. "That is your little brother or sister" I tell him.
"So does everything look ok then?" Brittany asks turning her attention to the doctor.
"Yes everything looks great" the doctor smiles. "Shall I print some photos for you" she asks and Brittany nods.
"Are you crying?" Brittany asks shocked looking at me.
"Yeah, I'm sorry" I apologise while wiping away my tears. "I was just thinking about how close we were to not having this, you know?"
"Oh honey" Brittany says squeezing my hand.
