Thanks for the reviews last chapter.
"God my back hurts." Santana complains glaring at Brett.
"Sorry?" Brett questioningly says.
"This is all your fault." Santana growls.
"Come on San, mom's waiting for us at baggage claim." Brett says wrapping his arm around his six month pregnant fiancé.
"Don't you have to meet up with the team?" Santana asks frowning.
"They don't land until later today and we don't have practice until tomorrow." Brett says. "I'm all yours tonight."
They're in Cleveland as Dallas is playing the Browns on Sunday and are headed to Lima for the night before Brett has to head back to Cleveland for practice.
"Good because we're having a late lunch with Puck and Quinn." Santana says.
"MY BABIES!" Carol shouts running over to them and hugging Santana. "Look at you. You're really pregnant now."
"I'm six months along." Santana says smiling at her soon to be mother-in-law.
"Don't I know it." Carol says. "Brett get the bags while I help Santana into the car." she orders. "So how have you been since moving down with Brett?"
"Much better, you know how he is making sure I have everything I need." Santana says.
"Well he does love you so much." Carol says helping her into the car.
"Don't I know it." Santana says smiling as Brett puts the bags in the car.
"So mom can you drop us off at Breadstixs we're meeting Puck and Quinn there for lunch." Brett says helping Santana into the front seat before getting in the back.
"Sure," Carol says getting into the driver's seat. "Though I want you to take Max and Ruby with you. They're dying to hang out with the two of you."
"We'd love to." Santana says smiling.
Brett rolls his eyes, but doesn't say anything as he's learned that with Santana's mood swings it's best to just agree with what she wants to do. The last thing he wants to do is hangout with his little siblings while he hangs out with his friends who he hasn't seen in months. But that's what going to happen since that's what his pregnant fiancé wants.
"B honey, I see that your team is doing well." Carol says.
"Yeah it's looking like we're going to win the division." Brett says peaking up at the mention of football.
"Well I certainly can't wait to see you play on Sunday. It will be the first time we get to see you play live as a pro." Carol says very proud of her son.
"I got you all tickets in one of the boxes. I thought it would be more comfortable for San." Brett says.
"Thanks B, it will be nice to be able to put up my feet while I watch the game." Santana says very happy that her fiancé is always taking care of her every need.
"Brett are you not making sure that she has a comfortable place to put her feet up at your home games." Carol all but shouts at her son.
Brett cowards behind Santana's seat terrified of what his mom will do to him since she's had to sit in the regular seating.
"Don't worry Carol, I asked him to let me sit in the regular seats. I wanted to sit with the other family members of the players and not be treated special just because I'm pregnant." Santana smoothly says.
"Well you'd better make sure she gets into a box from now on." Carol sternly says.
"Yes mom," Brett says just glad that she doesn't seem too mad.
The rest of the car ride is filled with discussion about the baby, possible baby names and how med school's going.
"Okay you two can take the car, but be back by eight your dad wants to spend some time with you." Carol says parking and heading to get the younger kids.
"You ready for them?" Brett asks getting into the driver's seat.
"B you make your siblings sound horrible." Santana says whacking his arm.
"They kind of are though, Max Jr. is ten and Ruby is at that evil teenage stage of thirteen." Brett points out.
"That may be true, but they love to spend time with us." Santana says kissing his cheek. "You are their cool older brother who they hardly ever see." she reminds him.
"I know," Brett says kissing her just as his younger siblings get in the car.
"Ewww," Max Jr. groans. "Get a room."
"This was an empty car before you got in." Brett says back.
"Hey Santana," Ruby shyly says.
"How have the two of you been? Any boys in your life Ruby?" Santana asks turning around as much as she can being six months pregnant and all.
"No boys sadly between dad and him." Ruby says pointing to her brother. "No guys will date me and then they hear who my older brother is and that scares them even more."
"He is very good at intimidating people isn't he." Santana says smiling.
"Girls are gross." Max Jr. says.
"That's right little man." Brett says not wanting either of his siblings to date.
"Brett," Santana says slapping his arm.
He just smiles as he starts the car and drives them the short distance to Breadstixs where they see Quinn waiting outside for them.
"QUINN!" Max Jr. shouts jumping out of the car and running over to her.
"I think he might have a crush." Santana says kissing Brett's cheek before he gets out and runs over to help her out.
He opens the door and holds out his hand to help her out wrapping his arm around her shoulders. He then opens the door for his sister who hops out and slowly walks in smiling shyly at the host. Max Jr. glares at the boy looking over to see if his brother has noticed too. Which he hasn't as both Brett and Santana are saying hi to Quinn.
"It's good to see you Q." Santana says giving her a hug.
"Wow you're really pregnant." Quinn says placing her hands on Santana's belly.
"Is Puck here already?" Brett asks after giving Quinn a hug.
"Yeah he's inside and got us a table already." Quinn says.
"I'll go make sure the kids find the table." Brett says following them in.
Santana gives Quinn a look that says spill now. She can tell that something is wrong with her best friend and she didn't want to say anything in front of Brett.
"So…." Santana says when Quinn still doesn't say anything.
"It's just it's been weird since we broke up. Every time I'm around him he treats me like I'm still his girlfriend and I don't want him getting the wrong idea. I just got into a relationship and I don't want him ruining it." Quinn confesses.
"Quinn you still love him don't you." Santana softly asks.
"I can't," Quinn says.
"Why not, you know I use to think that of Brett." Santana says.
"He hasn't or won't grow up and I need someone who is an adult. You know he cheated on me again with some redhead bimbo who couldn't have been over nineteen." Quinn says tears starting to fall. "I may still love him, but I can't be in love with him anymore."
"I can respect that." Santana says not having realized how bad her friend's relationship was. "Why did you never mention this before? I knew he cheated on you in high school I just didn't realize it continued on after."
"San you know I hate talking about my relationship especially since your relationship with Brett is so amazing." Quinn softly says.
"We're not perfect, we fight and there has been several nights that he has slept on the couch, but we always talk through our problems." Santana says.
Quinn chokes back a sob and wipes away any remaining tears.
"Okay let's head in there before Brett comes running out thinking you've gone into labor." Quinn says smiling causing Santana to smile herself.
"We'll be your buffer." Santana whispers.
Inside Ruby and Max Jr. are sitting on either side of Brett with Max Jr. sitting next to Puck as well.
"How's football going?" Puck asks Max Jr.
"Good though I can't wait until I get to high school to start tackle football. My dad won't let me play tackle until then." Max Jr. complains.
"Don't worry little bro he was like with me too." Brett says.
"What about you Ruby, any boys in your life?" Puck asks.
"With these two of course not." Ruby says pointing to her brothers.
"Even though Brett isn't even in the state?" Puck asks smirking over at his friend.
"Yep, all Max has to say is our brother Brett and the boys book it away from me and I have no idea why." Ruby complains. "I mean I'd like to go on a few dates or heck even have a date to a dance."
"Well that's because your brother beat the shit out of Santana's dad at school his senior year so no one probably wants to mess with his little sister." Puck says laughing. "It was one epic day."
"Are you three giving Ruby a hard time?" Santana says walking in with Quinn.
"No," the three boys say as Quinn sits next to Max Jr. and Santana sits next to Puck giving him a hug.
"It's good to see you Puck." Santana says.
"You're like really pregnant, wow." Puck says shocked at how pregnant she is.
"I am six months pregnant." Santana says lightly pushing him.
The rest of dinner is very light mostly filled with chatter about catching up with each other. After finishing up dessert Brett decides that they should have back to his parent's house as Santana's back is hurting and she just looks like she's going to lose it any second.
"I don't think I'll see you two before I leave unless you're coming to the game, so it was good to see you man." Brett says giving Puck a hug before turning to Quinn. "Thanks for just being there for Santana whenever she's needed you." he whispers in her ear.
"Have a good game on Sunday." Quinn says giving him a huge hug.
"I'll see you on Sunday." Puck says leaving first with Quinn leaving only after his truck pulls out of the parking lot.
"When will those two get it together?" Brett asks wrapping his arm around Santana helping walk out.
"I don't think they ever will as Puck keeps cheating on her." Santana says so thankful that he never cheated on her and she's sure he never would.
"I'll never get why anyone would cheat." Brett says shaking his head.
"Cheating is wrong and I'll never speak to you again if make us lose Sanny." Ruby sternly tells him.
"Don't worry that will never happen." Brett says pulling Ruby into him as well.
"I can't wait till the game." Max Jr. says changing the subject.
"It's going to be soo cool to see Brett play in person." Ruby excitedly says.
"I'm sure it will be but I'm going to need you to do something for me." Brett fake whispers as if it's a secret from Santana.
"What?" they both excitedly say.
"I need you to look after Santana for me and get her anything she needs." Brett says smiling at his fiancé who just shakes her head at him. "And since I have to go to practice tomorrow and I won't see any of you until after the game I need you to look after her tomorrow."
"We can do that." Ruby happily says so glad she can help out.
When they get back Ruby pulls Santana upstairs to get her advice on what to wear and some makeup advice. Carol gets down on Max Jr. to clean his room and take out the garbage. Leaving Max Sr. and Brett alone in the living room.
"How is everything going?" Max Sr. asks patting the spot next to him for his son.
"It's going, I know San's having a harder time now with the pregnancy and going to school has made that even harder." Brett softly says. "I feel bad since I have to be at practice and leave for away games."
"It will all be over soon and you can be with her at the end of her pregnancy when she'll probably need you the most." Max Sr. says.
"I know but I hate leaving her." Brett says. "I'd love to stay up late and talk dad but I have to get to bed so I can get up early to go meet the team."
"Good night,"
