Santana is at her bed clutching her aching stomach when Maribel comes in.
"Are you feeling any better?" She asks, while coming closer to her daughter.
"No." Santana mumbles, in a trembling voice.
"Maybe i should stay," Maribel says "i don't want to leave you alone."
"I'll be fine." Santana mumbles again. "You'll only be out for a couple of hours. I'll be fine."
"What if you need something?" Maribel asks, while Santana snuggles on her and groans. "I'll see what i'll do."
Maribel greets Brittany as soon as she opens the door.
"Are you sure you two will be fine? I mean, i can stay if you need me to."
"We'll be fine, i can take care of Santana." Brittany says "Is she in her bedroom?"
"She hasn't moved from her bed all day."
Brittany hears Santana whimpering through the door, and as soon as she opens the door she sees Santana.
Santana is curled in bed, her hands pressing on her stomach, her knees to her chest and her eyes closed.
"Santana? Hey!" Brittany says, entering the room. Santana groans.
"Am i dreaming?" Santana asks.
"No silly." Brittany says with a laugh.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Artie?" Santana tries to sound offended.
"Your mom told me you weren't feeling well," Brittany says, while sitting next to Santana. "and you know i prefer to be with you instead of Artie."
Santana tries to say something else but a wave of pain hits her before she can form a sentence.
"Oh, Sanny! Your tummy really hurts that bad?" Brittany asks and Santana groans again.
"Hey, do you want me to rub your tummy?" Brittany asks, a couple of minutes later. "C'mon, lay on my lap."
"Mmm i don't wanna... Oww, crap!" Santana moans.
"Are you okay?" Brittany asks as Santana keeps moaning. "Sanny, hey, are you okay? What's wrong?"
Santana stays silent for a couple of minutes.
"I don't wanna move." She mumbles suddenly.
"C'mon, just uncurl yourself." Brittany says, while moving Santana's arms and legs away and lifting Santana's t shirt. "Where does it hurts?"
"Here." Santana weakly says, while moving her hand all around her belly button.
"Okay, let me just..." Brittany says, while cuddling Santana from behind, her arms surrounding Santana. "That's it."
She starts to rub Santana's stomach in soft circles, the way Brittany knows, makes feel better.
Santana is drifting to sleep when a stabbing pain hits her stomach.
"Are you okay? Did i hurt you?" Brittany asks, concerned, when she hears a whimper come from Santana.
"No, just... Oww! I just... It felt like something stabbed me and... Oww!" Santana whimpers again.
"Oh, i'm so sorry. Is there anything i can do to make you feel better?"
"No, you're already helping." Santana mumbles.
Santana falls asleep shortly after, Brittany notices, but even then she is still giving soft whimpers and her breathing is still uneven so Brittany keeps on rubbing Santana's stomach. She can't believe how beautiful Santana is, even when she is sick.
Brittany falls asleep shortly after Santana does.
Maribel comes home a couple of hours later and the first thing she does is go to her daughters bedroom to see how she is.
She finds both Santana and Brittany asleep. Brittany cuddling Santana with one of her hands over Santana's bare stomach.
They actually look cute and she snaps a quick picture of them in her phone before turning of the light.
