Chapter 39: Boring
Brittany's POV
I'm meeting up with a few of my college friends today to catch up. I've spoken to Jessica a lot recently but our other two friends Melissa and Zoe haven't caught up with us in a while so we thought it would be nice to all get coffee together somewhere. Aiden and Ella are coming with me because Santana has some stuff to do plus Melissa and Zoe haven't met Ella yet so it'll give them a chance to meet her.
"It's not like you and I to be the first ones here" Jessica says as she and I arrive in the café with Aiden and Ella. I'm carrying Ella in her car seat while Jessica is holding onto Aiden's hand.
"I know" I laugh. Jessica and I both have a tendency to arrive late when we're meeting up. My excuse is usually the kids whereas I think Jessica is just a last minute kind of person so she's always rushing around right before she has to leave.
"We might as well grab a table anyway" Jessica points out.
"Yeah" I nod and then we find a table to sit at. We talk for ten minutes before our friends arrive.
"Shall we order some drinks then?" Jessica suggests.
"Yeah" Melissa nods. We decide what we want and then Jessica goes over to the counter to grab our coffees.
"So this is Ella then?" Zoe asks while smiling down at Ella.
"Yes this is her" I smile at my daughter. "And of course you know Aiden" I say while looking at Aiden sitting on the chair between Jessica and I, playing with his cars.
"So how old are you now Aiden?" Melissa asks.
"Two" Aiden yells while holding up two fingers.
"That's right but remember we use inside voices inside" I smile at him.
"So did you have a party for his birthday the other day?" Zoe asks.
"We sort of have a joint family gathering last weekend where we celebrated Santana's birthday and Aiden's but also had some family over on Tuesday" I reply. Santana's birthday was a week ago on Wednesday and Aiden's birthday was a few days ago on Tuesday.
"That's nice" Zoe nods.
"So it's Saturday today, what are your plans tonight?" Melissa asks changing the subject slightly.
"I've got a hot date actually" Zoe smiles. "We're getting dinner and if it all goes well then we might hit a club or two."
"Sounds good" Melissa nods. "What about you Brittany?" she asks turning towards me.
"I'm not really doing anything exciting to be honest" I shrug. "I'll just be at home with the kids and Santana."
"Sounds awesome" Melissa laughs.
"I know it sounds boring to you but I'm a mom now" I shrug again. I kinda like my life at the moment. Maybe it's not partying every night but I love being with Santana and the kids.
"Yeah just because you're a mom doesn't mean you can't have a social life" Zoe points out.
"I know but I can't just drop everything to go out partying" I state.
"Can't your parents have the children tonight?" Melissa asks.
"No they're both working night shift tonight" I reply.
"What about Santana's parents then?" Zoe asks.
"No they've got Santana's sister's daughter for the night who is the same age as Ella and they've also got Santana's brother's son who is almost 9 months old" I say. I couldn't ask them to take Ella and Aiden as well because that would be them looking after a two year old and 3 children under the age of one.
"Ok, fair enough" Melissa shrugs. "So Jessica what about you, any exciting plans for tonight?" she asks.
"No not really" Jessica shakes her head.
"Have you got a secret child that you need to look after?" Zoe asks laughing.
"No I just haven't made any plans that's all" Jessica replies.
"Well my friend from work is throwing a party tonight if you want to come" Melissa tells Jessica.
"I don't know, I think I might just rather have a quiet night in" Jessica replies.
"Oh come on, live a little. You don't have any kids to look after so why not come to the party?" Melissa asks.
"I don't need to have kids to be able to have one quiet night to relax without partying" Jessica states offended. I've got to say I was beginning to get a little offended myself.
"Ok, sorry for offering" Melissa says rolling her eyes at Jessica.
"Let's move on" I suggest and the other 3 nod.
"So are we all still up for going out next Saturday?" Zoe asks. The four of us had planned to go out for some drinks and just have a fun night.
"Yeah totally" Melissa replies.
"Yeah me too" I reply. "Although I did think maybe I could invite some of my other friends and Santana and it can be like an early birthday celebration for me" I say.
"Don't you want a night away from your wife where you can let loose?" Melissa asks.
"No, not really" I shake my head. Santana and I get plenty of time away from each other so I was really hoping she would come out with us next weekend and have some fun.
"Who else were you thinking of asking?" Zoe asks.
"Mercedes, Rachel and maybe Santana's best friends from school, Kitty, Quinn and Tina" I reply.
"I don't really know them all that well" Melissa points out.
"Um…ok" I say confused. I'm getting the feeling she doesn't want my other friends to join us next weekend.
"You'll get to know them though if we all go out together" Jessica states.
"Aren't they all in their thirties or something?" Zoe queries.
"Yeah" I nod. "I mean Santana is the oldest since she's just turned 32 but the others are all 31" I reply.
"Is being over the age of 30 an issue for you?" Jessica asks looking at Zoe and Melissa.
"Not exactly but they'll probably be more reserved than us since we're all 23 or 24" Melissa replies. "I'd hate to have too much fun and be judged or something" she adds.
"You two are really pissing me off today" Jessica says shaking her head. "What is the big deal in asking a few extra people to tag along with us?"
"We're just saying they're all older than us so they might not like us having too much fun" Zoe shrugs.
"For goodness sake, they're older than us but not old. They're not 80 or something, I highly doubt they'll judge us having fun" I state.
"Ok but there's also the fact Santana is your wife" Melissa states.
"What about it?" I frown in confusion.
"Well it can't be much fun trying to party and have a good time with your wife being there. That would be like inviting my boyfriend along or something on a girl's night out where he can watch my every move" Melissa replies.
"Yeah you can't really have fun with your partner sitting right next to you" Zoe adds.
"Of course I can. I wouldn't get up to anything that I shouldn't either way" I state. Whether Santana was there or not, I wouldn't act any differently because I'm happily married.
"Seriously, what is going on with you two today?" Jessica asks confused. "You're acting as if Brittany and I are so boring and that Brittany's other friends would be unwelcomed to join us next weekend."
"So if you were taken, would you bring your boyfriend with you?" Melissa asks Jessica.
"I wouldn't not want him there but at the same time, I don't know if there would be any other guys there so he might not want to come" Jessica points out. I guess my situation is slightly different since Santana and I are both women but at the same time, the principle is the same. Neither Jessica nor I would do anything that would offend our partners so it shouldn't matter if they come or not.
"Fine, if you want to invite other people then you can" Zoe sighs.
"Do you know what, let's just forget about it" I state annoyed.
"So just back to the 4 of us then?" Melissa asks.
"No I mean forget about going out together. I don't think I want to spend the weekend before my birthday with you two when I could spend it with less judgmental people" I shrug. "I think Jessica and I can just go out with my other friends and Santana" I state. I don't want to spend a night out with people that don't even want my wife to join us.
"You do what you want then but Jessica can still come out with us because she wasn't thinking of rudely bringing other people to a night out that I planned" Melissa states.
"No I'll pass" Jessica states.
"If I had arranged for us to go out and you wanted to invite a few close friends then that would be absolutely fine with me because there's nothing wrong with all of us getting to know each other" I state. "But if you don't want my wife or my other friends to come then I don't want to go either" I say.
"Fine" Zoe huffs. The four of us then fall into a bit of silence.
"Mommy?" Aiden says after a minute or so breaking the silence between us.
"Yeah buddy?" I say looking down at Aiden.
"Tired" Aiden replies while getting off his seat and climbing onto my knee, wrapping his arms around me tightly.
"Ok well we're just going home now anyway" I tell him. "Are you still riding with me Jess?" I ask Jessica.
"Yeah if you don't mind" Jessica replies. I then get the kids sorted and then Jessica and I leave with Aiden and Ella. "That was so weird with those two" Jessica says shaking her head as we get into the car.
"I know" I nod in agreement. "It's like as soon as we all left college they suddenly became very rude or something. I mean you don't feel the same way about my friends and Santana, do you?" I ask.
"Of course not, I like Santana and your other friends" Jessica assures me.
"I like your other friends too" I tell her.
"We should definitely all go out next weekend like you suggested because we can celebrate your birthday then" Jessica states. "It can just be a girl's thing or we can invite boyfriends too, I don't mind."
"I definitely want Santana to come but we can ask the others what they think" I say. My parents have already offered to babysit so Santana and I are still free next weekend so we should all go out.

As soon as I dropped Jessica off at her place, the kids and I went straight home. When we got inside, I got them sorted and put them both down for a nap. I just hung out on my own for a while since Santana wasn't home right away. She's just came through the front door now so I've went to the hall to meet her.
"Hi baby" I say while wrapping my arms around Santana's waist and nuzzling my face into her shoulder.
"Hey" Santana says while dropping her purse and rubbing my back gently. "You seem down about something, are you ok?" she asks.
"Jessica and I had a bit of a disagreement with Melissa and Zoe today" I reply.
"What happened?" Santana asks while pulling away slightly and gently moving a strand of hair from my face.
"It sounds stupid but it kinda annoyed me" I sigh. I then go on to tell her the whole story about how they think Jessica and I are boring and how they didn't want anyone to join us next weekend.
"Well I didn't really want to hang out with them anyway" Santana states with a shrug.
"I mean what exactly did they think I was going to do with you not there. Fuck a guy or something in the toilets?" I shake my head.
"I wouldn't put it past them" Santana states. "I mean that's obviously what they would do if they had a boyfriend and didn't want him to come."
"Surely just because we like hanging out in the same company of friends doesn't mean we're weird or anything" I say.
"Of course it doesn't" Santana replies. "I like it when our friends mix and we get to all hang out together" she tells me.
Santana's POV
Tuesday 25th January 2022
"Thank you" I smirk at Brittany after taking a bite out of her toast.
"Get your own babe" Brittany laughs.
"I can't be bothered making anything right now, I'm exhausted" I say honestly. "Aiden and I have just had words because he won't keep his shirt on. I'm trying to get him dressed for the day but he kept taking his shirt off each time I put it on.
"Has he finally kept it on now?" Brittany asks.
"Yeah but only because I told him I would get you to come upstairs if he didn't keep it on" I state.
"Honey…" Brittany shakes her head at me. "You can't say that each time he does something he shouldn't. You need to be just as firm with his as me" she says.
"I know and I am trying but it's taking time for him to listen to me so sometimes I need to get you involved" I admit. I am getting better at being more of a disciplinarian but sometimes he just doesn't listen so the only way is to involve Brittany.
"How do you discipline him when I'm a work?" Brittany asks curiously.
"I don't know really. I think the longer it goes on the more bored he gets so he eventually stops" I say. Maybe I just have more patience when I'm alone because I know Brittany won't be able to discipline him since she's not here so I know I can't give up. When she is here then I think I get worked up easier because I want Britt to know I can parent him properly but it just doesn't look like it.
"Speaking of our son, where is he?" Brittany asks curiously.
"He was following Dylan around the last time I checked" I laugh. It's so cute how fascinated he is with Dylan sometimes. "Dylan said it was ok to leave Aiden with him so I did and I went to take care of Ella. She's been fed and burped and now she's sleeping again."
"That's good" Brittany nods. Just as I go to make myself some breakfast, Dylan walks into the room with Aiden getting a piggyback from him.
"Breakfast time sweetheart" I tell Aiden as Dylan carefully places him down on a chair. "What do you want?" I ask him.
"Chocolate" Aiden replies clapping his hands.
"Not for breakfast Aid" Brittany tells him. He frowns at her before looking over to me.
"How about some cereal?" I suggest. He doesn't look happy with the suggestion but he nods anyway.
"Ok, I'll get right on that" I smile while leaning down to kiss his head.
"Aiden, come here buddy" Brittany says while going over to the side with Aiden. "I know you like messing with mom but that wasn't nice this morning refusing to get dressed. You have to do as she says ok?"
"No" Aiden replies giggling.
"Yes you do" Brittany says giving him a warning look.
"We won't be playing with the cars today if you don't follow my rules" I tell him. He looks at me curiously for a moment before turning back to Brittany.
"Mommy" Aiden says looking up at Brittany wondering if I'm serious or not.
"If mom says no cars then it's no cars" Brittany shrugs.
"Fine" Aiden sighs before walking away towards Dylan.
"Excuse me, we're not done" Brittany tells him. He just glares at her before folding his arms and letting out a huge huff. "He is so like you right now" she laughs looking at me.
"Baby that's not helping right now" I sigh. We need to make him aware I am just as important as Brittany at disciplining.
"I'm sorry, he is literally a mini Santana when he glares" she says smiling fondly at Aiden. "Anyway, back to the task. Aiden when mom says something then she means it ok so if she tells you not to do something then you mustn't do it" she says seriously.
"Sometimes mommy makes up rules but you have to remember that I also make up rules so we must all follow them, ok?" I say to Aiden. "Mommy and I are both the parents here and we're equal so you have to do what we both say."
"Ok" Aiden replies after a moment.
"These rules don't just apply to you. They apply to Dylan and Ella too" Brittany says. "If mom says don't do something then not only you but Ella and Dylan must also not do it."
"Do you understand buddy?" I ask and he nods.
"The rules actually apply to me too so if I do something I shouldn't then I get punished too" Brittany says. "When I'm naughty mom gives me a punishment just like you, Ella and Dylan all get a punishment for bad behaviour" she tells him.
"Mommy's punishment is very different though" I whisper in Brittany's ear causing Brittany to blush.
"Sorry" Aiden mumbles while unfolding his arms and holding his hands up in the air at me.
"It's ok" I smile at Aiden while lifting him up and hugging him.
"So we're all good in here?" Brittany asks while kissing Aiden's cheek.
"I think we are" I say smiling at Aiden.
"Ok so I need to get ready for work now but I'll be back down to say goodbye" Brittany smiles at me.
"Ok" I smile back.
"I'll check on Ella on my way upstairs" Brittany says and I nod. She then leaves the room and I go back to sorting Aiden's breakfast.
"Did I ever mess around when you looked after me as a kid?" Dylan asks curiously as he begins eating his breakfast.
"Just as much as any child would really" I shrug. "I think you played up with your parents more than you did with me" I point out.
"It's funny because I can only remember good times hanging out with you but I can't think of anything exciting I did with my parents as a child" Dylan shrugs. I feel quite bad because it sounds like he didn't have the most fun childhood.
"I know you're older now but if you want to do anything in particular then we can do it. I can't imagine going to the zoo will be as fun now that you're a teenager but if there's anything you want to do then we can or I can buy you tickets for a game or concert and you can take your friends" I tell him. I don't think I wanted to hang out with my parents at 16 so I understand he might not want to so I'm cool with getting him something he wants and he can do it with his friends.
"No you don't need to do that" Dylan shakes his head.
"I want to" I smile at him. "Honestly if you want to do something then let me know and we'll sort it out" I say.
"Ok, I'll think about it" he smiles. "I mean I've not got a lot of time at the moment to do fun stuff because if I'm not busy at school I've got soccer or basketball practice."
"Well when you do get some time off, just let me know" I tell him honestly.
"Ok" he nods.
"Speaking of basketball practice, what time is your game tomorrow?" I ask. His school and another school are competing tomorrow.
"5pm but I'll likely stay at school instead of coming back here" he states. "Once classes finish, I want to get a bit of practicing done before the game starts" he tells me.
"That's cool, we'll just see you at school then" I nod.
"Wait, you and Brittany are coming?" Dylan asks surprised.
"Well we were planning on it but if it's too embarrassing then we don't need to go. I mean I don't suppose you want two overexcited adults screaming on the side-lines" I laugh.
"No it's not that" Dylan shakes his head. "It's just my parents never go to my high school games so I'm just surprised you would want to come."
"Of course we do" I smile. "Although Brittany is still teaching me some of the rules at the moment so I don't know too much. I wasn't into sports at school really" I say.
"Are Aiden and Ella coming?" Dylan asks curiously.
"I don't know" I say unsure. "My parents said they would watch them but I think Aiden would like to go so I don't know what to do. I don't really know if taking Ella is a good idea because she's so young and might cry through the game putting you guys off."
"Maybe just take Aiden then and when Ella gets older she can come to my games" Dylan says.
"Yeah I might just leave her with my mom" I nod. After talking for a bit, Brittany walks back in and says her goodbyes before leaving for work. Dylan then leaves shortly after to head to school so it's just Ella, Aiden and me left.
XXX
After Brittany got home from work and Dylan's basketball practice finished, we all sat down to dinner together. Brittany and I then hung out with the kids for a while before putting them to bed while Dylan went outside and practiced some more for his game tomorrow. He seems to be doing really well with basketball again which I'm glad about because after his fall I wasn't sure what kind of headspace he was in especially when he couldn't practice for a week or so.
"Babe" Brittany says walking out of the bathroom.
"Hmm" I say while taking my earrings out at the dresser.
"That talk with Aiden this morning has made me realise that you don't punish me enough Santana for bad behaviour" Brittany says smirking at me.
"I have to agree" I say while walking over to her and wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I unfortunately have some free time right now so if you feel it's necessary to punish me then go ahead" Brittany shrugs.
"I mean I hate taking that free time away from you but it really is about time we got some order around here. I think you need to be aware of the rules and you need to start realising I run this house" I state. "What I say must be taken seriously" I add.
"Should I be down on my knees right now begging you to not punish me?" she asks.
"I would much rather you were down on your knees begging to be punished rather than not be because you know it's the right thing after disobeying me for so long" I smirk.
"That's a fair point" Brittany nods while capturing my lips in a passionate kiss.
"Not so fast" I smile while pulling away. "I need to actually punish you baby and by the looks of things kissing me seems to do the opposite."
"Is this punishment something I must do or something I must not get done to me?" she asks curiously.
"Well I could tease you a little or I could demand you do something super sexy for me" I say unsure of how to play this. It all depends which is more frustrating for her and the least frustrating for me. I mean I could withhold sex but that's a punishment to me too so that won't work. I could also tease her a little but again that doesn't benefit me too much.
"How about you tell me what you want and I'll do it" she smiles. "Anything at all you want me to do then I'll do it."
"Ok" I nod with a smile.
"While you're thinking it over then I could help you out of those clothes" she smiles while gently removing my shirt. She then slowly runs her hands over my upper half caressing every piece of skin she can. "I'm so turned on just looking at how sexy you are" she says while leaning down to place a few kisses to my neck.
"I feel like we should just cut to the chase and go to bed" I say starting to get turned on. I can't help but tilt my head back so she has a bigger area to kiss.
"I can do that" she smiles while running her hands through my hair before kissing me. "I need to undress you first" she says while pulling away slightly to unzip my pants.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brittany hasn't long got home but we're upstairs getting ready for Dylan's basketball game. Ella is already with my parents and Aiden is still taking a nap. Dylan didn't come home like he mentioned so he's still at school practicing.
"I have been so bad today, I think I need another punishment" Brittany says while wrapping her arms around me from behind.
"Ok well be prepared for your punishment later" I smile while putting my necklace on at the mirror. I know it's only a high school basketball game but I want to be the hottest parent there…well beside Britt obviously.
"I was sorta thinking you could give me it now" she smirks at me through the mirror.
"Baby not right now" I say regrettably while turning around to look at her.
"Oh come on, don't be so boring" she shakes her head.
"I'm not being boring, I am being practical" I reply. As much as I would love to be with Britt right now, we do have things we need to take care of right now. Aiden needs to get his dinner and I want to phone my mom and check in on Ella.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"I promise we'll have time later together" I assure her.
"It's just more fun when it's spontaneous and we don't need to schedule sex" she sighs.
"I know baby but tonight it just has to be that way. We've got plenty of time to have spontaneous sex whenever we want. This is just one day" I smile.
"Ok" she smiles back.
"We're going out at the weekend so we've got the whole night after that" I say. Brittany's parents are having Ella and Aiden, and Dylan will be away for the weekend playing a soccer game this time. They're competing against a different high school from tonight and it's in a different city so they're spending the night there.
"That's us still scheduling it though" she points out.
"I know but what else can I do Britt" I say honestly.
"I'm sorry" she shakes her head. "Last night was just fun and I miss us suddenly just jumping into bed whenever we want. I realise we can't do that often so I am sorry" she points out.
"Come here" I smile while pulling her closer. "We have our whole life together, this is just a busy week ok so don't overthink it" I say while leaning in to kiss her.
"I love you" she smiles.
"Love you too baby" I smile back before continuing to get ready again. As soon as we are ready, we get Aiden up and get him some dinner before heading to the basketball game.
"Dylan" Aiden says excitedly while pointing over to the other end of the gym.
"That's right" I nod.
"So where shall we sit?" Brittany asks while looking around.
"I'm good with sitting closer to the front so Aiden can see what's going on" I say and Brittany nods. We then find a seat close to the front. Not too close that a ball could attack me but close enough that I can see Dylan playing.
"Oh look at the cheerleaders over there" Brittany says. "It reminds me of my high school days on the cheerio's" she says smiling fondly.
"Surprisingly it feels like just yesterday I was here and cheerleading with Quinn before rushing off to make our glee club meeting" I say.
"I know what you mean" Brittany says laughing at the thought. It was always so hectic being in both glee and the cheerios.
"So what happens in basketball?" I ask curiously. I know I was a cheerleader but that didn't mean I paid any attention to what sport I was cheering for or how it worked.
"You basically just need to put the ball in the hoop" Brittany shrugs. Both her brothers dabbled a bit with basketball back in the day so she's picked up a few of the rules. "I mean there are certain rules you need to follow but the basic aim is to score points by getting baskets."
"Should I invest in a little hoop for Aiden?" I ask.
"Honey, you have just attached a basketball net to our garage for Dylan so I think Aiden can use that when he gets older. I don't think you need to buy him more toys" Brittany replies.
"But what if he wants to start early?" I ask. He can hardly start practicing just now with that big ass basketball hoop that Dylan has.
"If you want to buy something small then you can but don't buy an expensive thing. Just as little plastic hoop will do until he gets bigger" she points out.

Friday 28th January 2022
I was playing outside with Aiden this morning when something just went in my back. I think I moved the wrong way or something but it was fucking sore I tell you. I've been walking around the house all day like I've wet myself of something because it hurts to walk normally. As soon as Brittany say me in pain, she decided to give me some physio to do.
"So you just bent over and it went?" Brittany asks curiously while gently beginning to massage my back to get a feel for where is sore.
"Yeah" I nod. "I literally bent down to pick up Aiden's soccer ball when a pain just shot through me" I say.
"You hurt your back at school didn't you?" she asks.
"Yeah one day in glee we were practicing a particular dance move and I hurt my back. Ever since then it can sometimes just go if I move an inch the wrong way" I shrug. It hasn't happened in a long time though so I thought it had finally strengthened or whatever.
"Did it hurt enough for you to scream in pain?" Brittany asks.
"Not exactly" I shake my head. "It was more of a yelp really" I add.
"Did Aiden laugh?" she asks.
"Yes" I reply confused. "How did you know he would laugh?" I ask.
"Because I can just imagine you yelping in pain and making it into a bigger drama than it has to be" Brittany says laughing. "I love you baby but you can be a little over dramatic at times."
"It hurt like a bitch Brittany but thank you for your sympathy" I say while turning around so I'm not lying on my front any more getting the massage.
"Don't be childish baby" Brittany smiles at me.
"It really did hurt" I whine.
"Ok well let me sort that out for you" she tells me. "Lie back down on your front please but lose the shirt this time" she says.
"Lose the shirt?" I question raising an eyebrow.
"Yes because I can hardly get into the area with material covering it. This is strictly professional baby so don't worry I'm not going to take advantage" she smiles. I then lie back down. She then straddles me while going back to massage my back.
"I wouldn't mind if you did take advantage" I shrug.
"Like I say, this is professional" she states.
"How professional because I don't like the thought of you sitting on people at work like this" I tell her. I know I wouldn't want someone straddling Brittany like this so I can't imagine her patients' family like their partner being straddled.
"Ok so I don't straddle my patients but what I mean is that this is a professional technique that you can do for back injuries" she replies. "I don't give my patients massages but I do sometimes refer them to sports therapists or masseurs when the injuries require an approach more like this than actual physical stuff."
"So you don't put your hands on naked pieces of skin?" I ask.
"Not really unless you're talking about a bare arm or leg but there's nothing sexy about that" she replies laughing. "My patients are fully clothed during physio unless I'm examining an injury before figuring out how to proceed."
"Ok good" I nod.
"Whoa, I'm sorry" Dylan apologises while turning around embarrassed after walking into the room. "The door was open so I just wanted to give you the details about my trip at the weekend but I'll talk to you later."
"It's not what it looks like" Brittany laughs. "I'm doing some physio on Santana because she's got a bad back today."
"Yeah there is nothing remotely romantic about this" I sigh in frustration.
"I told you to tell me if it hurt" she states seriously while standing up.
"I didn't want to offend you" I state while putting my shirt back on.
"You wouldn't offend me because it's meant to hurt a little so if it does then it's not actually me that's hurting you" she replies.
"Ok" I shrug.
"Old age doesn't come itself you see Dylan so you and I have that to look forward to" Brittany smirks at me.
"Enough of the old, Pierce" I say playfully glaring. "Anyway Dylan, tell us more about the plans for tomorrow" I say turning to face Dylan.
"Well we leave in the afternoon in the bus and then we'll get there around seven in the evening. We'll then have dinner and maybe hang out before heading to our rooms. Then on the Sunday we've got an early practice before the game and then we travel home" Dylan replies.
"I assume you'll behave" I say to Dylan.
"No he told me he was going to hook up with all the cheerleaders. Sex settles his nerves you see before a game" Brittany smirks at me.
"Yes I'll behave and so will my friends" Dylan replies while laughing at Brittany.
"Good" I smile.

Saturday 29th January 2022
Brittany, myself and some of our friends are at a bar right now having some drinks. We're just starting off low key but I don't know where we'll end up. Even though we've only been here half an hour, I'm having one of the best times tonight. Brittany and I don't usually get to just go out and have fun especially not with friends. I mean when we first met, Brittany wasn't 21 so we could never really go to bars and clubs and then after she turned 21 we didn't really get a chance to go out before she got pregnant with Aiden. After that we became parents so our time alone was very limited and when we were just getting into a good routine she ended up getting pregnant with Ella so we very seldom get to go out.
"Hey, do you want to dance?" Brittany asks walking over to me where I am sitting talking to Quinn and Tina.
"My back is still a little sore right now but maybe once I've had a few more drinks I'll dance with you" I smile.
"Ok" she nods. "Tina you'll dance with me and Jessica won't you?" she asks looking at Tina.
"Sure" Tina shrugs before going with Brittany.
"So I know my back isn't quite right but what's your excuse?" I ask Quinn.
"I'm not much of a dancer" Quinn shrugs. "I'm sure when Kitty, Mercedes and Rachel get back from the bathroom they might dance with Brittany and the others."
"Yeah maybe" I nod.
"So what's going on with you these days?" Quinn asks curiously. With us both being parents then we don't get to hang out as much as we'd like.
"Not much" I shrug. "Just living life happily and quietly" I tell her.
"Brittany not pregnant yet then?" she smirks at me.
"Quinn, don't" I shake my head. It's a little bit of a sensitive subject because all my friends know I've always wanted a big family but at the same time I really can't have Brittany freaking out. I'm happy with two kids at the moment so I don't want her to think I'm not.
"I'm only teasing you" she laughs.
"I know you are but I don't want Brittany to get freaked out by this" I tell her. "We're both really happy right now so I don't want her to think we need to have more children when we really don't. I do want a big family but if we don't have any more children then I'm completely ok with that."
"Ok" Quinn nods, satisfied with my answer.
"What about you and Jason, how are things?" I ask. Since he's my brother I really hope I get a clean answer but at the same time we are best friends so I want her to talk to me if things aren't ok.
"They're really good actually" Quinn smiles. "I know it didn't seem like we'd work in the beginning but I think we finally are working and we're happy."
"That's good, I'm really pleased for you" I smile.
"Speaking of happy, you and Brittany seem great at the moment. I mean judging by the way she couldn't keep her hands off you earlier, you're even more in love than ever" Quinn states.
"I mean we've came through a lot of issues emotionally so I'm so thankful we're in a happy place now" I admit. Don't get me wrong, we weren't ever unhappy but sometimes we'd be dealing with a few things so we were worried about one another. I've always loved Brittany but I can't be at my happiest when I'm worried sick about her.
"I'm happy you're happy too" Quinn says genuinely.
"Hey, ready for a dance yet?" Brittany asks skipping over to me with the others following closely behind.
"I don't want to make a fool of myself so maybe we should leave the dancing until we go somewhere else. This place is a little too quiet for my liking" I reply. I mean it's busy enough but this isn't a place that many people are dancing at so once we go somewhere a little more upbeat then I'll dance. I don't want to show myself up in here where everyone can see but if we go elsewhere then I can get lost in the crowd.
"Ok well let's finish our drinks and then get going" Brittany smiles.

"Dance with me now" Brittany says after downing another shot and slamming her glass down on the table. "Come on" she whines while pulling on my arm.
"Fine" I say laughing while standing up from the table. "Aren't you all coming?" I ask the others. If I'm about to make a fool out of myself then so is everyone else. I mean it's not like I can't dance, it's just Brittany is a lot better than me so it looks like I can't.
"Fine but the minute you two get too handsy then we're sitting back down" Quinn states.
"I agree" Jessica nods.
"Don't worry, we'll keep it clean" I smile at them.
"Speak for yourself Lopez" Brittany states seriously. "My wife's in the hottest dress ever, she looks as sexy as hell and she's about to dance with me so I'm going to dance the shit out of this place."
"Ok" I laugh. I think Brittany is starting to get a little tipsy now.
"Come on then" she says while tugging me towards the middle of the floor. She puts her arms around me and we begin swaying to the music. It's a bit of a slow song right now so there's not much dance that would suit the tempo.
"Are you having fun?" she asks me.
"Of course" I smile. "Although you seem to be having a lot more fun than the rest of us at times" I laugh.
"That's only because you all nurse your drinks for hours whereas I drink mine at a reasonable speed so I'm like 5 glasses ahead, not to mention Jess and I have had numerous shots throughout the night" she smiles at me. As soon as the song ends and more upbeat one comes on, Brittany lets go of me and starts dancing around me.
"Britt, what are you doing?" I ask laughing.
"I'm dancing" she shrugs.
"I know but I meant…you know what never mind" I laugh again.
"Dylan asked me out the other night but I wasn't sure what to say but I talked to Brittany and she said it was cool so I'm going to text him and say yes" Jessica states drunkenly walking over to us.
"Um…ok" I reply. I don't know what else to say because I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean Dylan can do what he wants but at the same time he is 16 and I feel slightly protective over him. His parents are idiots so I feel I should step in at times and fill that role. I mean I have no issues with Jessica but she is one of Brittany's friends so I don't want things to go wrong and it all gets awkward. I mean it's similar to when Quinn and my brother started together.
"Anyway I'll leave you to it" she says before spinning around and dancing her way across the room.
"You're sexy" Brittany smiles while patting my butt before continuing to dance around me. After a while, she starts grinding on me and doing some other questionable dance moves which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I mean in the privacy of my own home it's a completely different story but I don't really like it in public when everyone is staring.
"Come on babe, get into it" Brittany smiles while turning around and kissing me.
"Honey, I don't like this kind of attention we're getting. It's just not me" I say honestly.
"Fine" she shrugs while stopping what she's doing.
"I'm sorry, I just…"
"I'll see you back at the table" she states while grabbing Jessica's hand and pulling her away. Ok, she's just being childish now. I'm all for dancing with her but just not like that with such a big group of people watching.
"Fucking hell" I say while shaking my head as I sit down at the table with some of our friends. They all stopped dancing long before I did.
"What's wrong?" Tina asks.
"Brittany marching away with Jessica in a huff because I didn't like the attention we were getting" I state.
"The dancing did become a little risqué" Quinn points out.
"I'm not a prude or whatever but I don't want to do that in public. Plus this isn't the kind of place for that I wouldn't say" I reply.
"I think Brittany has just had a little too much to drink, I wouldn't take it personally" Mercedes says trying to reassure me.
"I don't but I still don't like the thought of her getting pissed when she's had so much to drink" I reply. I hadn't realised just how many more drinks Brittany and Jessica had than the rest of us until it was too late. I just assumed they were always dancing but I think half of the time they were away they were at the bar.
"She's got Jessica though so she's not alone" Rachel states.
"Yeah but Jessica is three sheets to the wind as well" I say shaking my head. Neither of them are going to be any good to one another in their state.
"Let's just call it a night then" Kitty says.
"Yeah let's find them both and take them home" Quinn nods.
"Yeah" I agree. We all grab our things and then go to find where Brittany and Jessica are on the dancefloor. As soon as we do see them, my rage starts building up inside.
"Santana stay calm please" Quinn warns me.
"Stay calm?" I question annoyed. "My fucking wife is up there shirtless dancing on the table with guys drooling over themselves. Not to mention, she has a few dollar bills hanging from her bra" I say. I can just imagine us turning up 5 minutes later and her skirt is off and she has the dollars hanging from her panties or something as well.
"Brittany, honey come on" Rachel says softly while holding her hand out to Brittany.
"Does anyone want to see some more skin" Brittany shouts delightedly to the crowd while putting her hands behind her back to unclasp her bra.
"Brittany don't even bother" I say shaking my head at her.
"I'll do what I want" she shrugs while moving her hands thankfully. She continues dancing for a few more minutes, ignoring everything I say to get her to stop.
"Are you going to take off your bra or what?" one guy asks.
"If she won't I will" Jessica smirks.
"Why don't you both do it" the guy smirks at the two of them.
"That's enough, don't be so fucking disrespectful" I say glaring at the man.
"They offered to do it, jeez what is your problem" the man asks glaring back at me.
"Brittany get down from there right now" I say angrily, ignoring the man.
"Yes mom" she replies laughing while stepping down from the table with my help.
"Is she really your mom?" another male asks shocked.
"Yeah" Brittany smirks at me.
"Wow she is super fit" the man says looking at me.
"I'm not her mom you idiot, I'm not even that old" I glare at him.
"It's true, she's really young" Brittany nods.
"So if you're not her mom then why do you want to her to come down so badly?" he asks.
"Because it's not right what she's doing" I state.
"Just because you're not into women doesn't mean you can't appreciate the lovely show" the man states.
"For your information, I am into women but that doesn't mean what she is doing is ok" I say shaking my head.
"You sound like a right riot, who the fuck are you anyway?" he asks.
"She's my wife and she loves me" Brittany says giving me a slopping kiss on the cheek.
"Oh I get it, she doesn't give you enough attention so you had to dance like that to get the attention from others" the man says to Brittany.
"Fuck off" I say shaking my head at him before turning to the others. "Girls will someone get Jessica down from there before she loses anything else. She's just sent her bra flying across the room."
"Yep, we're on it" Quinn says as she and Tina rush over to try and coax Jessica down from the table.
"You've just had a baby Brittany, this isn't on" I tell her while trying to put her shirt back on.
"Just because I'm a mother does not mean I can't have fun" she states. "The kids are with my parents tonight so there's no harm done."
"I don't mean it like that" I state.
"I want people to notice me again" she sighs. "I don't want to be a 23 year old mom all the time. I mean yes I want to be a mom but I don't want people to know me as only that. I'm much more than a mom, am I not?"
"Of course you are and I want you to have fun but tonight was too much fun. You were dancing on tables and guys were drooling just watching you" I say.
"I only wanted you to find it sexy but I guess you didn't" she says sadly.
"Brittany it's not fun for me watching people get turned on by you" I shake my head.
"I don't deserve you Santana" she sighs.
"We're not going to that place again babe because you know how much you mean to me" I tell her. "Look Rachel has called us all cabs so we're going home" I say.
"Um…I don't think it's going to be that easy" Quinn says as she and Tina try to hold Jessica upright.
"No it should be ok because I think Jessica's sister is staying with her at the moment so she'll be in safe hands. We just need to drop her off home and her sister can deal with the rest" I state.
"Ok well Kitty, Tina and I will take Jessica home and Rachel and Mercedes can ride with you and Brittany to get home" Quinn replies.
"Sounds like I plan" I sigh. "Come on Brittany, we're going home" I say while getting her off the seat and helping her to the door while the others follow behind.
"I'm getting the feeling we won't have sex tonight" Brittany whispers in my ear as I keep a tight hold of her around her waist.
"You're damn right we won't" I state.
"I hate it when you're mad at me" Brittany sighs.
"So do I but I can't just pretend you weren't dancing on tables etc." I tell her. I knew this was too good to be true. I could just tell this happy state would disappear eventually and Brittany would just crash. It's all thanks to those two bitches she used to be friends with in college. I just knew their opinions would make Brittany question things. She is probably dancing around like she was because she thinks they think she's boring.
