After about forty minutes of convincing Brittany she could spread her legs and held her hand through the doctor stitching her up and repairing the ones she had pulled and a short talk about 'Lindsay' Santana was ready for some fresh air. A nurse that was not Lindsey had come in with some pain medication that knocked Brittany out shortly after.
"Santana oh my god you are alive?" Sam joked. He stood with his arms wide opened. She allowed him to wrap his arms tightly around her. She needed a hug and Sam gave the best hugs behind Brittany's of course." How is our sleeping beauty?" Sam asked after giving her head a kiss "Asleep now. She gave one hell of a fight the whole time the doctor tried to stitch her up again. Stupid nurse I blame her. Had Brittany this morning walking around the hospital room encouraging her to move in ways she wasn't in any way ready for. I gave Doctor Jones my opinion on that nurse." Sam laughed a little out loud." She's still alive for you to complain about?" Santana did have to admit she hasn't gotten any sleep here in the hospital her brain wasn't working properly." I am like the walking dead right now man. I need sleep but there is no way I can leave her." Sam nodded "Yes you can girl, you got about a hundred people that would be willing to stay with Brittany for a night so you can actually take a shower and sleep in your own bed. Here I'll call up Quinn or that one girl Brittany's best friend just give me her number. I am taken you to dinner then you are going home to sleep." She had to admit that did sound perfect about now. Her wife would be alright a night with either Quinn or someone of course other than freaking Kitty.
"Call Quinn and tell her I will give her anything if she comes up for the night and stay with Britt." Sam mentally gave himself a high five for suggesting this." Hey Q, it's Sam. Here with Santana and she needs a night to go home and just get some sleep. She needs you to stay with Brittany tonight though." Santana half listened as she looked over to the other people in the waiting room realizing for the first time Mike, Finn and puck with their girls stood there waiting to say hello." Hey guys." She waved. They waved back and all chat about work, Brittany and what they were up to this weekend. Puck pulled her to the side when everyone was done with their conversation.
"Girl you know I love your wife dearly but your gang needs you. They been taken orders but you can see they're not motivated and you know what happens when a team's not in the right mind set they make mistakes. People get hurt." Puck explained hoping not to see the wrath of his life nemesis/ friend. She nodded knowing he was telling the truth she couldn't argue." I know I am coming back probably after I see what they are going to do for Brittany tomorrow. I am going to get some sleep and then ask my mother and Susan to come stay with Brittany while I am gone to work. I know Puck my boys need me but my wife comes first." Sam's idea was exactly what she needed. She had gone and said good bye to Brittany who agreed she needed to go home shower and get some real sleep.
It was hard to say goodbye even though she knew she would see her tomorrow sometime. She cried on the way out to the parking lot but Melinda, Sam's wife held her helping her calm down. Dinner was nice with the gang. Everyone had showed up with their families of course causing chaos but she wouldn't have it any other way. They were a family, a big family. She did notice the big difference. With Brittany and Quinn not at the table the dinner was a lot quieter than usual. She would give anything for her wife to be here next to her holding her thigh under the table or playing footsie with her like she usually did to distract her during these family dinners. After dinner Sam dropped her home and she took a nice long hot shower that just felt amazing. The hospital shower was never quite hot enough for her. It helped her aching muscles and smelling her shampoo was just heaven at the moment. She picked up Brittany's shampoo and gave it a quick whiff. It comforts her knowing she still had Brittany here with her even though they both were sleeping in different places. Their bed was a mixture of the both of them and as she laid her head down on Brittany's pillow she felt like Brittany was right there with her. It didn't take long for sleep to overtake her body.
