A month later
"Do you really have to go to work now?" Brittany frowned as she scooted closer to her wife on the couch." Yes I do I told you babe I will be there for the doctor's appointment at three." Brittany smiled remembering that today they got to confirm the positive at home test. Santana had her doubts since they just only shot the sperm up once and after hearing stories of people trying for weeks, months even years for them to get pregnant while sitting during the orientation with Brittany, Santana felt very overwhelmed. How is it she kills people daily and the thought of having a little person grow in her wife's stomach scares her to death? Brittany just had a feeling she was, she didn't need a doctor to confirm that she was. She just knew but she would hold her excitement in until the doctor told her she was correct so Santana and she could be excited together. Santana had asked Brittany to not tell her parents yet until they got the test from the doctor which she understood and agreed to. After the zoo they had come home to a quiet dark house. Brittany had been in thinking mode all evening by dinner Santana had to call her out asking her what was going on? That led to Brittany telling Santana she wanted a child. Santana was confused at first and defiantly thought it was too early to be thinking of being parents. Brittany was still in therapy and this traumatic experience just happened. But Brittany broke down and explained why she thought this was the perfect time. Santana was bought by the end of the conversation and told Brittany she was excited to be starting this new chapter with her.
Brittany talked to some doctors she knew the very next day and they all had good things to say for the sperm bank across the street. Brittany talked to Santana and that's when they went and purchased their first thermostat of sperm after deciding what traits they wanted for baby Lopez. Brittany of course picked the closet thing she could get to her wife and Santana was very touched with that. Santana wouldn't care if they had all bouncy little blonde haired, blue eyed children because she would love them all because they came out of the woman that held her heart.
"I love you baby have a good morning with your overgrown horse." Santana teased. About two weeks ago they had gone horse shopping and Brittany found a beautiful black horse she fall in love with the only problem was the horse was overweight so the owner wasn't going to sell it. Brittany instantly became attached to this animal and started to whine. Santana eventually persuade the owner to give in after she told him she would pay twice of any other horse they had. She even made a weight joke but the owner didn't get the joke, but he explained how he really could use the money so he agreed to sell the horse to the women. Brittany was all smiles as Puck and Sam tried to get this horse in their small trailer. They had to buy a bigger trailer to get the horse home comfortably. Puck cried for the first time in a long time that day. Santana laughed her ass off as she watched Sam and Puck struggle to push this horse off out of the trailer. It took them a hour to get that animal out of the trailer and into the horse barn they had built the following week to house their horse.
"What's wrong Puckerman?" Santana asked seeing his eyes red." The horse monster kicked me." Santana was in absolute tears laughing so hard as she looked down at his new tight blue jeans that where indeed ruined now. "Shut up evil monster did this crime." the Latina shook her head watching Brittany and Sam inspect the dirt on Pucks pants. Brittany saw a tare but didn't dare say a word as she backed away so she could go visit with her new friend. Sometimes Santana couldn't believe the man in front of her was straight, he was so feminine he had to be gay but then again that was stereotyping something she didn't like to do but she did have to admit she judged people so many times if being totally honest.
Brittany skipped to get to the barn outback. As soon as Santana had left she went right in the kitchen to cut some fresh vegetables up for her horse. She still couldn't believe she had a horse and soon she'll have a baby as well. Santana was amazing with making each and every dream she had come true. Pouring the bucket of vegetables in the horses stall she watched as Emmy started to chow down. Emmy was beautiful no matter her weight and she couldn't believe Santana and the guys love to make fun of her all the time. It was so rude and she would not have it. She had already lectured her wife about her unfiltered mouth around their child. Santana had agreed she would work on it and have it situated by time the baby was born.
Emmy was in high spirits today and although she would love to jump on her back and take a ride she knew she couldn't. She had to make sure the doctor said she could and have someone around that knew more about horses than her. They had hired a stall boy named Lenard. He lived three streets over and jumped at the chance when his father who is a good friend of Sam's asked if he would be interested. They too owned horses and knew everything there was to know about them. Both Santana and she were very grateful he agreed. He wouldn't be around today because of exams in school but he would be here tomorrow. All she had to do was make sure Emmy had food and water for the day.
She stayed about an hour at the stall before she had to leave to get ready to go to her appointment. Her therapist Missy was excited for the both when she heard they were trying to get pregnant. She of course asked if she were ready and told her they would more likely take her off the strong medication. She would have to use more of the techniques she had taught her in sessions. Brittany was scared about them taken her off of the medicine because with the medication she was pretty much normal but she would not jeopardize her baby in any way. Looking down at her phone a picture of Santana with a bright purple wig came across the screen. It was from Quinn.
Bahahaha! She doesn't know I took this ;)
Saving it to my phone I laughed at how adorably goofy my wife was. Shaken my head I stepped into the shower.
Santana had been goofing all day practically. Puck had called and said they both got assigned to this Fern case but didn't have any information about him. They had gotten a fax with his picture and name but nothing other than that. These always scared her because these were usually out of town or worse out of country. He was a priority one which they haven't had since Brittany was in college. Maybe she could just let her team go along with Puck but then she shook her head knowing that wasn't a good idea "This doctor's appointment a big one?" Quinn asked from her desk. Santana hadn't told any of the guys about the positive test yet. They knew about them trying for a child." Yes it is." She explained with a smile across her face." You got to be shitting me right now girl pregnant?" Finn yelled from the other side of Quinn playing around on his phone. Santana shrugged " Not sure yet. Trust me you will all know when I know." Quinn's smile grew larger." I can't believe Santana Lopez is going to be someone's Mami. This is like the end of the world stuff here." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Is it that shocking?" Quinn nodded" Brittany I could see being a wonderful mother and I can see you being one too but I never thought you would actually go through with it. I know Brittany has been trying to get you to agree all these years. What's changed?" Santana knew exactly what's changed. a lot has changed this couple months. She almost lost the love of her life and right there had turned her life upside down. She had to start her thinking process again after that happened to them both. She was never going to deny Brittany anything and she knew by going along with the horse she was helping Brittany recover." we are ready to be mothers. We both decided on this and both had a moment and this is going to happen for us. We are happy." Quinn couldn't argue with that" Speaking of which I need to start getting ready to leave you text me the information on Fern when you get it?" Quinn nodded" will do boss."
