Epilogue
Brittany got used to getting up in the morning and getting dressed in her pencil skirt and blouse. After she showered, got dressed and had breakfast with Santana she went to work at Lopez enterprise. It was new to her to sort folders, but she loved it. It was not much, but it was her job. Santana told her to work in a dance studio or go to college but Brittany wanted to be a secretary for now "I can always do that later" she said that night.
And she would, taking online courses at night while Santana worked in her office was what Brittany wanted to do. She would get her degree, she would do something with the chance she was given.
It´s been almost six months since she got kidnapped.
Brittany had no other word for her current situation but happiness. Being Santana´s equal turned out to be not as scary as she expected. She adapted her role quickly and liked it. Since, never being used to have an opinion and even open her mouth or enjoying herself; Santana showed her the best way of living. At twenty-three, Brittany finally was able to start living.
Everything seemed to fall into place. Just two months after Santana found out she wasn´t pregnant they decided to start trying. It took a while, but it happened. Therefore, they are sitting at the doctor´s office for their three months appointment.
Santana with her legs spread open, Dr. Holliday sitting in-between them and Brittany holding the Latina´s hand looking on the screen.
"There it is" Dr. Holliday exclaimed "it´s growing just fine. I´ll leave you for a few seconds and print out a photo for you to take home" with that she left the room.
Brittany saw some tears rolling down Santana´s cheeks and used her thumb to catch them. When the Latina looked over at the blonde she smiled and whispered "that´s out baby."
All she could do was nod. Brittany was overwhelmed, never she thought it would happen for her to become a mother. But she got the full package: a loving girlfriend and hopefully wife soon and a baby on the way. She couldn´t wish for anything at the moment. Well, maybe knowing the gender of their child, but that was another eight weeks away.
"I love you" she heard Santana say.
Brittany leaned closer to Santana and just when their lips were an inch apart she whispered "I love you too, baby" they pecked each other twice and the blonde sat back on her chair "I´m so happy about all this. There is no way I can ever say thank you for everything you have done for me."
The Latina smirked "I know a way."
Brittany began to laugh when she understood what Santana meant "you dork."
After leaving the doctor´s office, Brittany took Santana out for ice cream and then they decided that it would be time to buy a crib and clothes. The blonde smile because Santana was so eager to buy clothes ´because one can never have enough clothes´ she explained.
Almost every month after their appointment, Santana wanted to buy more clothes. The nursery was already stuffed with clothes and Brittany thought that their child would already have a walk in closet before it turned one. Because, it was not just Santana that went crazy. Maribel and Rachel sent clothes because ´it was so cute I had to buy it´ and just like Santana ´one can never have enough´.
Brittany would probably never understand it, but she was alright. She and Antonio, who was thinking like that blonde, painted the nursery and set up the furniture. They have grown closer and as Brittany mentioned it one night to Santana ´he doesn´t scare the crap out of her anymore´.
One night when they had a family dinner at Santana´s parents because, Rachel finally introduced Quinn as her girlfriend, Maribel pulled Brittany aside and handed her a small velvet box. The blonde needed a moment to realize what the older Latina was up to "I want you to use it when you are feeling ready. It´s my grandmother´s and Santana always loved it. So if you ever decide to take the next step" she had a tear rolling down "I want you to propose to her with that ring."
"Ok... thank you" Brittany replied, she was unsure if she should hug Maribel for this or rather how. The older Latina however hugged the blonde. Brittany has been thinking about proposing for a while now, but she couldn´t bring up the money to buy an engagement ring. Now she had one "thank you, Maribel" she said and put the ring in her pocket, hoping Santana wouldn´t notice.
"I don´t want to push you..." Maribel started, Brittany has never seen her so vulnerable "I just want my baby to be happy and she has never been so happy like she is with you."
The blonde hugged Maribel "you have no idea how happy your daughter is making me, everything I am and will be is because of her."
The ring laid heavy on Brittany´s mind. She wanted to propose to Santana, but she didn´t know how. One afternoon, the blonde and Kurt were preparing dinner and she wanted to know what he thought.
"You know Brittany, Santana has never been easy to satisfy, but with you, she is happy with any empty room as long as you are with her. Believe me" he emphasized "she doesn´t need a thousand roses or fireworks. All..." Brittany dropped everything and ran out of the kitchen yelling "thanks Kurt" leaving a confused cook behind. He shrugged it off, because that´s just Brittany.
The same night, Santana came home exhausted from work. Her belly was evidently showing at almost six months now. When she locked the door she noticed that there was nobody in the kitchen or living room. Normally, the house was filled with chatter and everybody was ready to have dinner.
But not today, the house was dark beside some candles illuminating every second step. Santana walked up the stairs and saw that there were strawberries and whipped cream next to the bed. She smiled to herself. Brittany just knew what she needed. However, the blonde was nowhere to be seen.
"Britt?" Santana asked into the empty bedroom.
"Bathroom" she heard an answer.
"Wow" Santana exclaimed "that looks amazing." Brittany drew them a bath and a few candles set the atmosphere.
"Come on and join me" Brittany replied, already in the bathtub.
Santana undressed and saw how Brittany´s eyes lingered on her body. The Latina knew the blonde found her beautiful, she never got tired of hearing it, because she believed her. Brittany sat next to her when she had morning sickness, she got up at two in the morning to fetch Santana ice cream or a burger and onion rings. There was nothing Brittany wouldn´t do for her.
When she stepped into the bathtub she instantly leaned into the blonde and felt a kiss on her neck "I missed you" Brittany whispered, this made Santana press her back into the blonde´s front.
"I missed you" she replied "thanks for the bath, this is exactly what I needed. My dad had nothing better to do than throw what felt like a thousand contracts at me. I couldn´t have done that at home" she said annoyed "no, Santana had to sit in her fucking office at work and read through that shit" she exhaled heavily.
"Now, you are home and enjoy your bath with me" Brittany said and gently caressed her girlfriend´s belly "just relax and leave the day behind. You are home now..." she was interrupted when Santana turned around as far as she could and kissed her.
Tongues began to fight for dominance, but Brittany pulled back first and looked at Santana pouting "babe, I don´t want a boner now."
Santana looked at her in confusion "but you like boners, because I take such good care of them" she replied and rocked her ass against Brittany´s penis, the blonde fought hard to not get hard.
"I know" she breathed "but babe, stop for a second" and so the Latina did "you know when I once said I don´t know how to ever thank you for everything?"
"Yes, but I don´t want that" Santana said, she looked at the wall opposite to them and felt Brittany shift a little.
"I know, but I might have gotten some help. I know I´ll never be able to repay you or anything. But I know to show you that I want you forever, everything you have done for me I want to do too. Somehow" she began to ramble and felt Santana chuckled "I want to support you and take care of you. I want to cherish and love you. I want everything that is good in the world for you, for us. I want to make you happy every morning, every night, every time you are upset about something and even if it with me. I love you" she held the small black velvet box in front of Santana and then it hit the Latina.
"Santana Diabla Lopez, will you let me try to make you as happy as you make me? Will you marry me?"
The Latina was shocked, she turned around but couldn´t care less about all the water that splashed out of the tub "holy shit, yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!"
THE END
I know it´s short, but thanks for sticking with me and this story. There is still my other story, which I´ll focus on a little bit more now and hopefully finish it at some point. But there is an open end right now. I don´t know how many chapters I wanna write there.
Furthermore, I´m planning two more stories. Those are actually in the making! But I want to be some chapters ahead before posting.
