Brittany stood listening to her wife's pleads while having an internal battle with what to do." I don't want you to watch this Santana; it's everything he did to me." Brittany fall on her knees sobbing as she tried to catch her breath. "I can't breathe, I can't breathe!" Santana kneeled down in front of her wife she took Brittany's head in her lap as she started making little circles into her back to try to calm her down. "Just relax Britt; no one is going to hurt you I am here."
It took some convincing but Santana finally got Brittany to calm down enough to hand over the DVD. Santana helped her upstairs and watched her take her night medication then helped her into bed before she came back downstairs to text the others to go home and she'd see them tomorrow. She was finally alone to catch some air and just process everything that had happened today. It was a lot to take in that someone out there had this video of her wife being attacked. What did this person want? Playing with the blank disk in her hand she wanted to smash it against a wall but she knew this was probably not the only copy. Someone out there had the original. She knew she shouldn't watch this alone but knowing her wife would not be coming down for the rest of the night and that she could flip out quietly down here in the living room Santana popped the DVD in her lap top and sat back down on the couch.
A whole wave of emotions ran through her all at once as she watched Brittany struggle, this man raped her wife. More than a hundred times she had to pause the DVD and take a deep breath. Anger was the main emotion she felt at the moment, angry that this man hurt her beautiful sweet loving wife someone who couldn't hurt a fly and loved everyone had to go through this horrible experience. By the end Santana had cried so much that she didn't have a single tear left to cry she had just seen everything that had taken place that day. She didn't see anything that gave away who this mysterious cameraman was so she knew she didn't have to share this DVD with anyone else. Taken the DVD out of her computer Santana took it and placed it in their office down the hall from their room, and then she went to be near her wife. She needed to hold Brittany and feel her physically in her arms to calm her mind. Santana wrapped her arm around Brittany's waist and snuggled as close as she could in the blondes back.
Brittany sensing her wife was behind her scooted back as far as she could so Santana was the big spoon. "Baby please turns around. "Santana whispered hoping Brittany would do so. Brittany turned now facing a crying Brunette, Brittany instantly knew Santana had watched the DVD and now was very concerned. "Baby please tell me you didn't!" Brittany started to cry herself seeing the expression on her wife's face. "I am so sorry baby, Britt; I just want to hold you." Santana knew she couldn't change anything no matter how badly she wanted to do so for her wife, but she could start helping more now that she knew all those times Brittany seemed 'clingy' was because she needed Santana to hold her and comfort her like Santana needed comfort right now from her wife after seeing everything that happened that day on that rooftop. Brittany kissed Santana on the hand before turning again snuggling back into her wife Brittany cried softly before she allowed sleep to take over.
"Are you sure there is nothing on that DVD Santana? Because we have nothing, nada to go by so far" Joel spoke for the group since no one else wanted to turn angry Santana on again. This morning had been hell, take that back hell would have been a much nicer place to be in at the moment. Santana had explained there was nothing on the disk that could help them this morning she started assigning people on assignments to find out who this mystery person was but as the day went on and still they had no leads Santana's attitude came out and it wasn't pretty for anyone. To make things worse the Pierce's had taken Brittany out of town for the day to see a cousin.
Brittany had texted Santana throughout the day and called twice to check up. Santana was happy Brittany was having a good time with her family, she was just afraid the Pierce's will extend the visit for another day and Santana didn't want to be alone right now no matter how selfish she seemed she would drive all the way to Columbus to pick Brittany up if need be. "You know what guys let's call it a day I am just, I can't do this anymore today." Santana said as she laid her head down on her desk. The gang knew exactly what was wrong and the guys knew what she needed at the moment. "Let's go Santana." Sam said already taken his phone out to call a few people but first Brittany to see if this plan was alright with her." Hey Brittany it's Sam, Santana has been well Santana without you all day and she needs a night out with the gang. Would it be ok with you if we kidnap her for the night? I promise you we will take good care of her and not let any men or women around her and we will have her home bright and early tomorrow morning because I know your family is staying there am I right?"
Brittany couldn't deny he was right, her mother had told her to call Santana and tell her that they would be staying the night but all she wanted to do was call Santana to come get her. Hearing her wife needed a night out with the gang made Brittany keep quiet about wanting The Latina to come get her and agreed her wife needed a night out with the group. "Please, tell my sexy wife to get on the phone I need to speak with her?" Sam instantly shoved the cell phone in Santana's hands that put it up to her ear.
"Babe? "Brittany greeted. "Hey baby so when you coming home?" Brittany bit her bottom lip before she told Santana of Sam's plans for the evening. Brittany hoped Santana would be totally in for the night out and that she wouldn't be upset that she wouldn't be home until mid-day tomorrow. Santana didn't quite blow up as big as Brittany had expected but she did whine. "Come on Brittany I didn't get to say goodnight or hello or anything to the baby. And I miss you." Brittany was about to crack but knew her wife needed to relax." I love you baby, but you do need a night to let loose. Please San go have fun with the guys. I am fine I am surrounded by family, though I wish my incredible wife was here but for one night I can go to bed early." Santana couldn't say anything else but the last eight words." I love you Brittany, have a good night."
Santana had no clue why she was so hesitant of going out tonight. After Marley and Quinn came over to help her get dressed for the night it was party time. She had let her hair down and let loose. She was beyond gone." No more for you Chicka." Quinn laughed a little from being almost completely gone herself. Santana laughed as she started to stand up from her chair but quickly found her butt on the floor which made her laugh more. Quinn doubled over and found herself right beside her boss on the floor laughing uncontrollably.
Suddenly a familiar face appeared a face she had not seen since that awful night. She felt a lot more sober as he leaned over and offered his hand to both the women pulling them up Santana could not look away from the security guards face. She had blamed him off and on earlier on but she knew it was Brittany who slipped away to find her. If she would have actually talked to Brittany in the beginning maybe Brittany wouldn't have had been looking for her. She shook those bad thoughts out of her head as she greeted the guard he was in regular clothes indicating he was off hopefully and not undercover." Hello, Santana. How is Brittany?" Santana tensed a little at the mention of her wife "Ok for the most part, thank you." The awkward moment didn't last long when a girl came from behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist Santana watched as he waved then left with the girl. Quinn took Santana's hand and both stumbled to the front of the bar where the men were playing ping pong most of the guys where just as wasted as them. Sam and Finn where the only ones sober besides Sam's wife and Finn's girlfriend they knew they had a hot mess on their hands when they looked around them at their drunken friends. They both knew no one could drive home thankfully there was a hotel next door.
"To the Hotel next door everyone now!" Sam yelled out to the group who all nodded as they made their way to the bar to cash out and start to collect their belongings to leave Finn and Sam where pleased how easy this process really was. The group had started off being ten now they had almost twenty people. "Four to a room bitches." Finn said handing keys out he skipped over Santana who shot him a questionably look as he shrugged it off and continued to hand out keys until he was done then he turned back to her. "Quinn and you are sharing a room with Mel and I for the night I promised Brittany I would look out for you and that is what I am going to do." Santana was too drunk to argue so she just nodded.
"Santana we have to get up and check out." Melinda said as she patted the Latino's arm. Santana opened her eyes forgetting for a minute where she was. Groaning out loudly she turned around in the hotel bed where Quinn had slept all night the bed was empty. "Where's my cell?" Santana mumbled laying her head back down on the pillow. Melinda pointed to the side table beside the bed there sat her phone the screen lit up. Her eyes instantly popped open seeing her mother in laws name on the screen. Snatching the phone from the table as fast as she could she answered with a desperate hello, praying to god nothing happened to Brittany or the baby.
"Hello to you too calm down Santana nothing is wrong just calling to tell you Brittany is visiting with Tom's parents then we will be on our way back home. Brittany slept all night until almost seven this morning, a little bit of morning sickness not too much though, she wouldn't eat anything but did have a small glass of OJ before she left with her father." Santana thanked Susan for the update and told her to tell Brittany she would be waiting for her to return. Santana loved Tom Howard he had always been a great friend to Brittany and her. But she didn't trust him alone with her as she didn't trust anyone that wasn't their family alone with her wife. Being an assassin has taught her you can never be too careful, anyone at any time could turn on you or your family." We are going to get breakfast before heading home lets go Chicka." Quinn sung from the door way. Santana rolled her eyes annoyed.
