Chapter 43: I'll Sort This
Brittany's POV
Sunday 27th February 2022
I'm just sitting on the couch thinking about the past hour or two. Everything was fine before I went to see Christina and then it all went downhill from there. I know I shouldn't go around hitting people but the woman really wound me up today. She was talking about my family and I'm really protective over them so I don't take too kindly to people talking bad about them. I especially don't take too kindly to people interfering in my marriage and thinking they can come between Santana and me.
"Are you ok?" Santana asks while sitting down next to me and holding out a cup of coffee towards me.
"Thanks" I smile briefly while taking the cup. "As for being ok, no not really" I shrug.
"We're going to get this sorted out, I promise" she says trying to reassure me that things will be ok.
"How am I supposed to go into work tomorrow and explain to my boss about what happened?" I ask. I can't see her being too happy with me visiting the police station today.
"You don't need to tell them anything because it's not like you were arrested or anything. The police just wanted to talk to you about the disagreement" Santana replies. "We might need to explain things later on but I'm hoping it won't get that far. I'm hoping this whole thing will be dropped so there won't be anything to tell."
"I really hope so" I sigh.
"I should talk to Christina and see what she says" Santana replies.
"I don't want you in trouble too" I sigh. I'll need to figure out another way to sort things out because I can't have Santana going in there all guns blazing and getting into trouble.
"I think I'm the one that can stop this. I mean if she truly liked me as a friend back then then surely she'll want to help me" she replies.
"Yeah she might want to help you but she doesn't want to help me" I state.
"Please don't worry, I will get this sorted out" Santana says while placing her arm around me and giving me a light squeeze.
"I hope so" I sigh.
"I'm going to check on the kids but I'll be right back" Santana says while standing up from the couch.
"I'll come with you because I could do with a hug from my favourite people" I say while standing up as well. If anything can lift my spirits up then it's being with my children.
"I kind of like to think I'm a favourite person too" Santana shrugs as she looks back at me with a smile as we make our way through to the other room.
"You are" I smile.
"Let me hug you then" she smiles back.
"I'm not stopping you" I smirk. She then comes over to me and wraps her arms around me. Just as I relax into the hug with my arms around her too, I feel her slide her hands down my back slowly. "You'll lose those hands if you go any lower" I tease.
"Ok" she laughs while bringing her hands back up. "I was only doing it to cheer you up, I wasn't trying to sexualise the moment."
"I know" I smile. "Thank you for trying to make me feel better" I say while pulling away slightly to kiss her.
"It's no trouble" Santana smiles back. We then go and check on the kids.

After Dylan found out about the conversation with Santana and his parents yesterday, he decided to stay with a friend for a few days until the whole emancipation thing was all sorted out. He was worried if he stayed with us for any longer then it might annoy his parents so he didn't want to do anything that could make Christina and Russell more pissed with Santana and me. I mean as much as I liked helping him out, I am kinda glad he's not living here at the moment because I don't want the situation to get worse. Christina and Russell already feel we've turned Dylan even more against them so I don't want them to get any more ammunition to get me in trouble.
Santana, the kids and I are all sitting at dinner together now, just the four of us. I'm really struggling to eat though because I'm worried about the current situation. I just don't know what's going to happen now.
"Mommy sad" Aiden says while putting his fork down and reaching over to me.
"I'm sorry buddy" I smile at him.
"Hug" he says while holding his hands out to me. I then take him from his highchair and place him on my knee with my arms around him. "I make you happy mommy" he smiles.
"You always make me feel better" I smile at him before kissing the top of his head.
"Can I help?" Santana asks Aiden.
"No" Aiden states while shaking his head.
"But I want to help mommy feel better" Santana replies.
"No" Aiden says seriously while glaring at Santana since she won't take no for an answer. He is such a mini Santana when he glares at people. I mean I know he shouldn't go around glaring at people for no reason but honestly it's so cute.
"Fine, I'll just hug Ella then" Santana shrugs while carefully picking Ella up.
"No" Aiden says in an annoyed tone as he scrambles out of my hold to get to Ella. "My sister" he says giving Santana a warning look.
"Yes but she's my daughter" Santana laughs.
"We all love each other so let's not fight over who loves who the most" I say.
"But…" Aiden tries to protest.
"You can come back and hug me Aiden and let mom give Ella a little hug" I smile at him.
"Ok" he says before coming back to me.
"What happened to my little boy? I used to be the one he wanted all the time, not Ella" Santana says laughing.
"I think it's quite cute actually" I say. I mean I didn't like my brothers as much as I liked my sister growing up so I think it's quite sweet how protective Aiden is over Ella.
After clearing up from dinner, Santana and I spend some time playing with the kids before bathing them and putting them to bed. I'm just relaxing on the couch now going through my work emails on my iPad when Santana sits down next to me.
"The kids are asleep now so why don't you and I have some adult time?" Santana asks with a smirk as she puts her arms around me.
"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood tonight" I admit.
"Babe I will sort this mess with Christina so nothing is going to happen to you. I promise" she replies while leaning in to press a gentle kiss to my head.
"No it's not that" I shake my head. I mean yes I am still slightly worried about what's going to happen but that's not what's putting me off tonight.
"So what's wrong?" she asks worriedly.
"I just have a really bad stomach cramp tonight" I tell her.
"Oh you're on your period?" she says and I nod. "Do you want me to get you anything?" she asks.
"No it's fine, I'm hoping the cramp will pass" I smile. "Thank you though" I add.
"I didn't think you really got stomach cramps anymore" she points out.
"I don't usually get them like I used to but I think the stress of what's going on is making it worse" I reply.
"For a minute I thought you didn't want sex" she replies.
"It's hard not to want you babe" I smile.
"I am rather sexy aren't I?" she smiles smugly.
"Yes and conceited" I laugh. I know she is only messing around though to cheer me up because she's not actually an arrogant person. This is her way of distracting me from the situation and I'm really grateful for it.
Santana's POV
Monday 28th February 2022
Brittany is at work and the kids are with my sister right now so I'm on my way to speak to Christina. On the one hand I'm dreading it because I feel awkward around her knowing how she feels about me but on the other hand, I want to go to sort out this mess and get Brittany off the hook. I know for a fact Brittany wouldn't hit someone unless they really drove her to it so she shouldn't be punished for this.
I was in two minds about whether to take someone with me or not but I decided against it because I felt it would be better to talk to Christina alone. I don't think Russell will be there right now so I'm hoping for a mature discussion with just the two of us but who knows whether that'll happen or not.
"Santana?" Christina says shocked as she opens the door. She's obviously surprised to see me.
"We need to talk" I say seriously while pushing past her to go inside.
"You can't just walk in like that" she tells me while quickly following me to the kitchen.
"Do you think it's funny to do that to my wife?" I ask angrily.
"She said some horrible things to me too you know" she replies.
"After everything she has done for your son, do you honestly think that was nice what you did?" I ask.
"Look we all say things in the heat of the moment" she sighs. "It's really not that bad though Santana" she shrugs.
"You got her arrested, how is that 'not that bad'?" I ask. I know it wasn't an official arrest but she still got taken in for questioning so that's not an ideal situation.
"Hold on, what did you just say?" Christina asks shocked. "Did you just say Brittany was arrested?" she asks.
"Yes, for slapping you" I state.
"Santana I did not call the police, I promise you" Christina shakes her head.
"So you're calling my wife a liar now?" I ask.
"Are you calling me a liar?" she retorts.
"The police came to talk to Brittany yesterday about the conversation you two had and why she slapped you" I reply.
"Ok I did wind her up and say things I probably shouldn't but that was in the heat of the moment. I can assure you I did not call the police or anything like that" she tells me. Weirdly enough, I think I actually do believe her although if she didn't then who did?
"Who did then?" I ask.
"The only two people that I told about our argument were Russell and Dylan" she replies.
"Well none of my family knew you two had even spoken so it's not us" I state. "It can only be Russell or Dylan then" I add.
"I don't understand why they would do that though. What happened was between Brittany and me so none of it affected them" Christina says in confusion.
"We're going to need to ask them" I say.
"I know but Russell isn't home yet so we'll…" Christina is interrupted by the door banging shut. "Actually that's probably him now" she says just as Russell walks into the room. As soon as he sees me his smile turns to a vicious glare.
"What is that doing here?" he asks while pointing at me.
"Russell, did you call the police about Brittany slapping me?" Christina asks her husband completely ignoring his question.
"Yes and I would do it again to see that smug smile disappear from her face" he says pointing at me again. I'm doing everything I can not to hit him right now. Knowing him he would call the police on me too so I need to stay calm.
"You idiot" Christina shakes her head. "Just because you're pissed at me and Santana does not mean you can bring Brittany into this."
"Aren't you happy though because Brittany said some awful things to you?" Russell asks Christina.
"I said some nasty things too so no, I'm not happy" Christina sighs. Yeah I'm not happy either. "I understand if it was something silly and you wanted to get back at Santana but getting someone arrested. That is way too far especially when Brittany has children and a career to think about" she says shaking her head again.
"You do understand that I have no feelings for your wife, yes?" I say to Russell. "There is actually no need for you to get back at me because I have done nothing to you. It's not my fault your wife doesn't love a bastard like you. I didn't ask her to like me or reciprocate any of these feelings so I haven't hurt you."
"Yes but you're the reason I have a ruined marriage. If you weren't around my wife wouldn't fall for you and we wouldn't be in this mess" he states.
"Wake the hell up would you" I shake my head. Nothing is that simple so the chances are she might have fell for someone else if I wasn't here.
"You should be mad at me Russell, not Santana and most certainly not Brittany" Christina says.
"No, Santana deserves to be hurt" Russell shakes his head.
"I have bent over backwards to help your son and this is the thanks I get" I say shaking my head. "I didn't need to do any of what I did to help Dylan but I did and all you can do to repay me is to get my wife arrested, who by the way has been a better parent to Dylan than either of the two of you."
"Don't worry Santana, I will make sure this goes no further" Christina assures me.
"See, I can't make the same kind of promises" Russell smirks at me.
"If you do not drop these charges, I'll make your life a living hell" I say.
"Is that a threat?" Russell laughs.
"You bet your fucking ass it's a threat. Hurt my family again and I'll hurt yours worse than you can ever imagine" I say seriously.
"What are you going to do?" he asks.
"Trust me, you don't want to find out" I warn him. I'm sure there must be some dirt I could get on him because he was a well-known basketball player back in college so I could really do some damage to his reputation.
"Honestly Santana, I will end this charade" Christina states.
"Yeah, you better" I say before storming out. If I'm there any longer I might do something I seriously regret so it's better to just leave. I sit in my car for a few minutes to calm down before heading to my sister's house to get the kids. I spend some time there and we all have lunch together before I take the kids back home and put them down for a nap.

I'm just making a start on dinner when I hear the front door close meaning Brittany has just got home. She doesn't walk into the kitchen right away so I'm assuming she's taking her shoes off and getting rid of her coat. As soon as she does walk in though, Aiden jumps off his seat and bolts across the room to her.
"Hi buddy" she says engulfing Aiden in a big hug.
"Colour with me" Aiden says excitedly.
"Ok but let me say hello to Ella first" Brittany says while walking over to the table. "Hi sweetheart" she says while leaning down to Ella in her bouncer.
"Aiden why don't you get a picture ready for mommy to colour" I say while helping him onto his seat.
"Ok mom" he nods while looking for a picture he thinks Brittany will want to colour in.
"Ok what have you got me?" Brittany asks while sitting down next to Aiden.
"I've got a car and you've got a princess" Aiden smiles brightly at Brittany.
"Ok" she smiles back at him before looking up at me. "Hi" she smiles.
"Hey" I smile back before leaning down to kiss her cheek. I then go back to taking care of dinner while she colours in pictures with Aiden. "I went to see Christina today" I tell her.
"How did it go?" Brittany asks worriedly, looking over at me.
"It was Russell that called the police. He did it because he wanted me to hurt and knew you were just the way to go to do just that" I sigh. "I am sorry babe" I apologise.
"None of this is your fault because I know you don't feel the same way about Christina" she replies.
"The main thing is that Christina doesn't want things to go any further so I think she'll manage to persuade Russell to let things go. To be honest though, she's the one that got hit so I can't see him being able to do anything if Christina doesn't want to take it further" I say.
"So you think I'll be ok then?" she asks.
"I really do" I smile.
"Ok" she says while breathing a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry about it anymore, ok" I say while walking over to her and lightly massaging her shoulders.
"Oh that feels good" she says smiling.
"Did you have a hard day at work?" I ask.
"Not really but I did find it really hard to concentrate though" she admits.
"Yeah I wouldn't be able to concentrate at work if I knew I had someone as amazing as me at home waiting for me" I tease. I know she was talking about the Christina situation though.
"I know you're joking but it is so true sometimes" she laughs.
As soon as I finish making dinner, we all sit down to eat together. We then spend some time with Aiden and Ella like we usually do before putting them to bed. Brittany and I are now both in the bedroom.
"#Let's talk about sex baby…#" Brittany sings to herself as she gets ready for bed.
"Why talk about it when we can just do it for real" I say smirking at her.
"You know we can't tonight" she says regrettably.
"Yeah I know" I nod. "We can still cuddle up in bed together though and maybe watch a movie or something" I say.
"Sounds good" she smiles.
Once we're ready for bed, we get settled, cuddled up together while putting on a movie. For the first half of the movie, everything is going well until I notice Brittany starting to get bored as usual. She starts getting a little more affectionate with me but I don't think too much of it initially. However as the minutes go by, Brittany isn't making any effort to stop. She moves her hand a bit more central of my body and gently brushes her fingers against my crotch.
"Do you like that?" she asks, a smirk appearing across her face.
"Yeah, a little too much actually" I admit. I am trying so hard here not to react but when Brittany is touching me like that, my brain knows that I usually like that so sends out all the right signals.
"You're breathing a lot heavier and your heart rate is picking up" she points out as she places a kiss to my cheek. After continuing what she's doing for a moment or two, she slowly moves her hand and slices it down past the waistband of my pyjamas.
"Britt, don't" I say, finally working up the courage to talk.
"Don't you want me to keep going?" she asks.
"I really do and that's the problem" I sigh. "You said no tonight but if you keep doing what you're doing then I'm going to end up getting even more worked up."
"I can't have sex right now but it doesn't mean I can't get you off" she smirks.
"As much as I really want that, it's not fair on you" I shake my head.
"Trust me, I'll survive" she smiles.
"But I feel bad because I don't want you to think it's all about me" I say.
"I started this Santana so I don't think that plus I know you're not selfish in bed" she says with a smile. "Also, it's pleasurable enough for me just watching you" she smirks.
"Ok" I say while pulling her close to me in a passionate kiss.
Brittany's POV
Saturday 5th March 2022
Santana is taking us out for lunch today which I thought was really nice. It's just going to be the two of us and Aiden and Ella. I am so thankful she managed to talk Christina and Russell round so they would drop the case. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from me so now I can finally relax. I didn't realise just how worried I really was until it was all over and a huge wave of relief washed over me.
Santana is just getting the kids ready for the day while I get dressed after my shower. She got ready earlier than me this morning since she got out of bed earlier so she said I could just take my time in organising myself and she'd sort out the kids.
"If I said you were sexy, what would you say?" Santana says walking into the room just as I'm changing.
"Take me to bed" I smirk.
"I can't really do that though when we're about to head out to lunch with the kids" she says with a playful sigh.
"There's always later though, right?" I wink.
"Definitely" she nods.
Once we're all ready, the four of us head out to the restaurant. It's a little bit of a drive away but it is a favourite restaurant of ours so we don't mind. When we get there, the waiter shows us to our table right away and we order some drinks before looking at the menu. I order my food first and then Aiden's but Santana is taking some time to make up her mind about what she wants.
"It says here slow roasted chicken, now how long are we talking because I'm quite hungry so I don't know how long I can wait?" Santana asks.
"Santana, please" I say laughing.
"It's a genuine question babe" she shrugs before turning to the waiter. "So?"
"I think it's partially roasted already" the waiter replies.
"I don't know if I want reheated food. It reminds me of reheating my take out the next day, you know" she sighs.
"I very much doubt it will taste like that" I say. I mean it's not exactly reheated, it's just partially cooked.
"What about the Chef's famous lasagne, I mean is it really famous?" Santana asks the waiter.
"Um…" the waiter doesn't know what to say.
"I mean I've never heard of it before so is it really that famous. Is that not a little bit like false advertising" Santana says. When she's happy, she has a tendency to wind people up a bit and have a joke. It is really cute but I also get concerned that someone else is getting embarrassed or offended.
"Just ignore her, she'll take the chicken" I smile at the waiter.
"Oh will she?" Santana says smirking at me.
"Yes" I nod. The waiter then leaves, satisfied that we have finally ordered. "I'm the boss around here, remember babe" I smile.
"You can boss me around anytime you like" she smirks.
"I'll bear that in mind" I smile. We continue talking for a little bit until our food comes.
"Oh here's your food Aiden, are you hungry" Santana says to him.
"Yes" he says clapping his hands excitedly.
"Mommy is hungry too" I say smiling at him as the waiter places our plates down.
"Yes but I don't think its food she's hungry for" Santana says smirking at me and winking.
"Uh…enjoy your food" the waiter says uncomfortably as he places the last plate down.
"Thank you" I say slightly embarrassed. The waiter then leaves. "You made that poor waiter uncomfortable there saying that in front of him."
"It's true though, isn't it?" Santana shrugs with a smile. I am so glad the kids were too preoccupied with their food otherwise they'd have heard too.
"It might be but it doesn't mean the whole world needs to know I want you like all of the time" I say smiling back at her.
"Ok" she nods. "Hey I meant to ask, what are you doing on the 2nd of July this year?" Santana asks curiously.
"I think I'm busy then so if you had something planned then I can't make that date" I shrug.
"Why not?" she asks frowning in confusion.
"Because it says in my diary I've scheduled sex then" I smirk. "I have just admitted I like sex so it's no surprise" I add.
"I think if that were true I'd know all about it because I'm the only one you have sex with" she smiles.
"Yeah you might think that" I tease.
"Hey they're better not be anyone else" she states.
"Of course there's not" I shakes my head. "Who is going to want to sleep with me anyway" I state.
"Loads of people Brittany but the only difference would be is that I get to and they don't" Santana smiles.
"Why are you asking about that date anyway, have you got something planned?" I ask curiously.
"Well actually, I was on the phone to Quinn yesterday and she was saying that's when they want to have the wedding" she replies.
"Oh that's nice" I smile.
"She was thinking about going away to have the wedding so we'd need to book some time off work and have a mini vacation" Santana replies.
"Sounds like fun" I smile. It might be nice for the whole family to go away together and celebrate something nice. I mean I was pregnant at my own wedding so that put a slight dampener on things and I was pregnant again on our last mini vacation so it might be good to finally have some fun.
"I know I tease her and my brother a lot but I'm really glad they're finally happy and settling down together because they spent so much time trying to hide how they really felt" she says honestly.
"They make a great couple" I smile.
"Yeah they kinda do actually but they're…"
"Not as great as us as a couple?" I ask laughing, assuming that's how she was going to finish the sentence.
"How did you know I was going to say that" Santana replies laughing.
"Because I know you" I smile at her.
"Fair point" she nods with a smile.
"Mom, don't like" Aiden says to Santana interrupting our little moment of just staring lovingly into one another's eyes.
"Aiden you do like peas remember" Santana tells him.
"No" Aiden shakes his head while flicking a pea across the table.
"They're nice vegetables Aiden" I say while taking a pea from his plate and eating it.
"No mommy" he shakes his head at me while flicking another pea across the table.
"Aiden Pierce Lopez, you do not flick food like that" Santana warns him. "I let it go the first time but you've done it again so I want no more" she tells him seriously.
"Don't like you" Aiden glares at Santana.
"Glare all you want but you're not having ice cream for dessert if your vegetables are not eaten" she tells him. Aiden huffs and stares at her for a minute but when Santana doesn't break the seriousness in her face, he realises she's not going to give in so he starts eating again.
"You're getting good at being firm with him" I tell Santana. She struggled to say no to the kids for a while but she's getting better at it now.
"A little too good I think that one of these times he's going to turn around and say he hates me" Santana sighs.
"Honey don't get worried about that because it's not going to happen" I say honestly. "Aiden loves you more than he loves anyone, he's just trying to see if he can break you but keep being strong then he'll know not to mess with you" I tell her. Santana gave in a lot more than I did when Aiden was younger and he knows that just too well so he tries to mess with her because he knows already I would say no but Santana might not. When he realises we both say no then he drops things immediately.
"I know I need to be his parent and not his best friend but I hate that look he gives me when he doesn't get what he wants" she sighs again.
"Like I say, he's trying to play with you but honestly he's not going to hate you for saying no. You're just softer on him than me so he tries to wear you down. I mean I should know because I did it with my dad all the time. My mom said no most of the time but I knew my dad just wanted to give in to me so I always went to him first to get something because I thought I could persuade him" I say, chuckling slightly at the thought.
"Ok" Santana nods.
"Aiden eat all your vegetables and then we can get ice cream, ok?" I say to Aiden.
"Ok" he sighs.
"Vegetables make you big and strong and you want to be big and strong don't you?" Santana says looking at Aiden.
"Yes" Aiden nods.
"I'm just going to the bathroom to change Ella, I'll be back in five minutes" I tell Santana as I pick Ella up.
"Ok" Santana smiles at me. Just as I'm walking away, I hear Aiden apologise to Santana which totally melts my heart. I know he's my son too but there's just something really sweet about Santana and her son together.

Friday 11th March 2022
Santana has started working again but it's only the two days at the moment which are Thursday and Friday. She does try to work from home on Mondays but it doesn't always work out as well since she has the kids. The kids are starting at the day-care at the hospital where I work but that doesn't start for another couple of weeks so our family are helping us out with childcare. Santana said she was more than happy to wait to go back to work when Aiden and Ella had officially started at day-care but I didn't want that. She won't it admit it, but I can see just how lonely she's been getting recently and quite bored. Don't get me wrong, she loves being with the children but apart from when I get home from work, she doesn't get any adult interaction or the chance to have a mature conversation.
My mom and dad aren't working today so they've got Aiden and Ella so we'll pick them up later. Right now though, I've just finished work so I'm heading to Santana's office to give her a ride home. We could have drove separately to work this morning but I thought it might be nice to have an extra 10 minutes in the car together before and after work.
"I'm going to wait for Santana in her office" I tell the receptionist. She's been working for Santana and Artie for years so she knows me pretty well.
"No problem Brittany" she smiles. I make my way to Santana's office and wait there until she gets back from her meeting with Artie. I knew she had a short meeting with him at this time so I thought I could surprise her in her office when she came back.
"Guess who" I say while covering her eyes from behind when Santana walks in the door.
"I think it's someone I'm insanely in love with" she replies.
"She's insanely in love with you too" I say while slowly moving my hands down the front of Santana's body.
"What are you doing?" she asks curiously.
"You in a second" I whisper seductively in here ear.
"Oh" she says caught off guard as I slowly push my hand against her clothed crotch.
"Have you got time or do you need to tie up some loose ends since you're almost finished work?" I ask.
"I've got time, I've always got time for you" she smiles while turning around in my arms. "Artie and I pretty much wrapped everything up at the meeting" she tells me.
"Good" I smile before leaning down to kiss her.
"Wait, what about the door?" she asks while momentarily pulling away from me.
"I doubt anyone will come in because we've had enough visitors in here before for them to know it's a no go area when it's just you and I here" I smile. We have been caught on numerous occasions so I think everyone around here knows not to come in when I'm in Santana's office.
"That's true" she chuckles.
"What are we waiting for then, get on the desk" I instruct.
"I don't know if that'll be very comfortable" Santana points out.
"Please don't ruin my moment of authority. I'm trying to be bossy and sexy here by telling you what to do" I reply.
"I'm sorry but I'm just thinking further ahead and how the desk wouldn't really work as well as the couch might" Santana shrugs. "We're kid free right now so I don't want just a quickie" she smiles. I suppose she does have a point.
"Ok, lie on the couch then" I say, "now!" I add for more authority.
"Yes Britt" she smiles while lying down.
"Take your pants off too" I say while slipping my shoes off along with my sweater. I was at work so I'm not exactly as sexily dressed as I'd like to be.
"Yes Ms Lopez" Santana nods while shuffling out of her pants.
"Don't touch the blouse though, I'll handle that" I say while slipping my pants off before straddling Santana.
XXX
After spending more time than we meant to in Santana's office, we make ourselves presentable and head out to the car. Artie was staying longer at work so he was just going to help close up. Once we pick up the kids, we make our way home.
"Why don't I drop you and the children at home and I'll go and get us some takeout for dinner" I suggest.
"I can go if you want" Santana shrugs.
"No I'll go and it'll give you some time with the kids because I know you've missed them today" I smile. I know I said Santana was looking forward to going back to work but I still know she's finding it hard to be separated from the kids since she's spent so much time with them.
"Ok" she smiles.
"I won't be long" I tell her as I park up outside and help her get the kids out of the car.
"Ok" she smiles again.
"I'll be back soon" I tell Aiden and Ella.
"Ok mommy" Aiden smiles at me.
"Will I just get us the usual order" I ask Santana and she nods. "Ok" I smile before leaning in to quickly kiss her. I then jump back in the car and go to pick us up some food. It takes a little longer than I expected so I'm finally glad to be home when I open the front door. However that thought quickly disappears when I make my way to the kitchen. "Hey baaaaabe!" I scream as I fall to the floor.
"Are you ok?" Santana asks while running over to me in concern.
"More toys? Really Santana?" I ask unamused.
"Aiden got all these toys when he was Ella's age" Santana shrugs.
"I've just about broke my neck by tripping over them and the food is likely ruined now" I say.
"I'm sorry, I did ask Aiden to help me tidy up before you got back but we must have missed one of Ella's toys" she says.
"It's fine" I shrug. "I might have a slight bruise on my leg but I'm sure I'll live" I say.
"I'll make it up to you" Santana smiles.
"Oh, does that mean mommy gets a new toy too?" I ask jokingly.
"Mommy doesn't need a new toy when she has all of this to play with" Santana says smirking as she gestures up and down her body with her hand.
