"It's Santana…" Brittany admitted quietly.

Isabella let out a huff, "I should have known…" She shook her head slightly.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Brittany asked, clearly confused. She didn't know why her friend reacted the way she did.

"You spent way too much time with her the last few weeks. You even spent my entire wedding by her side. And you ran after her when she left…" Brittany could hear the anger in her voice. It made her perplexed. Why did it even matter?

"She was hurt, Bella. I ran after her because she left. She left because of your husband…" Brittany got angrier by the second. She continued even when her friend tried to speak, "No, don't you dare deny that. Maria was arguing with San shortly before she left and I know that Manuel had something to do with her leaving… I still don't know what exactly happened but I know enough to realize that you don't like her."

"Whatever," Isabella just replied. Brittany had never been mad at her best friend before, but now she really was angry.

"Whatever?! Isabella, don't you realize that you sound like a bitch right now?" Isabella's jaw dropped, clearly shocked about Brittany's words. She'd never accused her like that before.

"What did you just call me?"

"I didn't mean to say that you're a bitch. But you have to admit that it's pretty ignorant to judge people due their sexuality… You don't judge me, do you?" It took a few moments for Isabella to answer. She clearly thought about her words before she spoke up again.

"I have nothing against gays or lesbians, Brittany. You know that," she spoke softly now.

"Then why are you like that with Santana? She didn't do anything wrong…"

"She isn't good for you, Britt," she explained. Now it was Brittany's turn to let out huff.

"How would you know?! You don't know anything about her! You don't know how she treats me or how she looks at me. So please just stop, okay? You have no right to tell me what's good for me! I'm leaving." Brittany grabbed her bag that was standing beside her chair and went to the door. She saw Manuel exiting the living room. Brittany couldn't handle him right now.

"Brittany, don't leave," she heard Isabella call behind her. Brittany turned around.

"You know what? You can call me when you realize what you did wrong. Seriously, I would have never expected you to be that ignorant. I thought you would be happy for me, but apparently I was wrong." Brittany left and closed the door behind her. When she sat down in her car, she rested her head on the steering wheel and shook her head in confusion. What the hell happened?

*B*S*

It was four days later when Brittany heard the familiar ringing of her phone. Isabella hadn't called yet and Brittany was clearly upset about that. She had thought that her friend would call as soon as possible, admitting her mistake, but she didn't. She hadn't really told Santana about that day either. She didn't want to burden her with it and just told her that she didn't want to talk about it when Santana asked her on Sunday while they were texting.

Brittany just came back from dance class and she went to her bag to take the incoming call. It was her mom.

"Hey Mom, how are you?"

"Hi baby. I'm great. Your father and I are on our way back home from our little vacation this weekend…"

"Really? You haven't told me about it. What did you do?"

"We went to a really cool and modern spa hotel and we were treated so well. Massages, hot tubs and saunas. It was perfect…"

"Mom, don't make me jealous!"

"I'm sorry, baby, but we just had the best time."

"I'm glad you did."

"Are you home?" Brittany creased her eyebrows in confusion.

"Ehmm, yeah, just got back… Why?"

"You will see. Open your door," Kate, Brittany's mother prompted. Brittany practically ran to her door and opened it in haste. When she did, she heard the familiar high and ear-shattering sound that only her mom could make. She and her father Jake were standing on her door step, both with their arms wide open. Brittany let out a little scream herself before she engulfed her parents in a bone-crushing hug.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, mumbling into her mom's shoulder.

"Your flat was on our way and we thought that we should drop by to see our little baby," Brittany's father said as they let go.

"Oh, that's so great. We haven't seen each other for like two months already. I missed you," Brittany said before she planted two kisses on her parent's cheeks.

"We missed you, too, baby. So much." And they hugged again. They were still standing in the corridor and Brittany's neighbor Lou walked by, looking amused.

"Hey, Lou. How's it going?" Brittany asked when he opened his door.

"Great. Just found out that I don't have to work tomorrow, so I think I'll be going out tonight."

"I wish I also didn't have to work this weekend. Have fun, Lou."

"Thanks, Britt. You too! See you around," he smiled as Brittany nodded.

Her parents also beamed at him. He just let out a small laugh and entered his flat.

"Wow, that's a handsome neighbor you have there, Brittany," her mom winked at her, exaggeratory.

"Mom! Please. You know that he's just a friend! Besides, I went out with Santana last Friday, remember?" She beamed at her mom.

"Oh, yeah, right! How did it go?! What did you do?" Kate was already bombarding Brittany with questions which made Jake roll his eyes at his wife. He shook his head slightly which made Brittany giggle.

"Mom, I'm not gonna discus my love life with you in the corridor. Come in first." She waved her parents in and closed the door behind her.

*B*S*

"Santana, your next appointment will be tomorrow at three, so please don't be late. Oh and I'm going to hire a new assistant…" Rachel told Santana in her office. Santana just stared at her, wide eyed.

"Seriously?" she asked, beaming at her boss.

"Yes. Turns out you're a major talent in selling real estates. I was very impressed by your work last Friday and yesterday. You were quite good, actually. So we're going to split up the clients. It will give me more time to practice my singing and to work on my songs for the album my dads and I are working on."

"Thank you, Berry – I mean Rachel. Seriously. It means a lot," Santana said after Rachel's little rant. It still felt weird thanking Rachel but Santana was grateful for this job and Rachel's trust in her. She knew how difficult it was for her boss to admit that someone is as good as her. But seems like she was working on it.

"You're welcome, Santana. You're allowed to go home now."

"Alright. Thanks, see you tomorrow."

Santana hated to admit it but she was glad that she worked at Rachel's firm now. As she took a seat behind the steering wheel, she thought about the time she had more today. Brittany's dance class should be over by now, so Santana decided to visit her at home. She immediately had a smile on her face, thinking about her. She listened to a few songs before she parked her car in one available parking space.

She made her way up the stairs till she reached Brittany's door. She knocked twice and waited. There was a man, probably in his mid-twenties, who exited the door next to Brittany's. He giggled when he saw Santana standing in front of the door.

"You visiting Brittany?" Santana just nodded, confused because the man was speaking to her. "Good luck…" He laughed.

"Why?" Santana asked, curiously. The man laughed again.

"You know that Britt's parents just arrived, right?"

"What?!"

"So you didn't know. They're – let me think… extraordinary. Yep, that's the word I was looking for…"

Santana hadn't even time to digest the newfound information before the door opened. Her heart was beating so fast by now and her palms began to sweat. She just wanted to surprise Brittany after work and now she was going to meet her parents. She didn't even know if they knew about her. What if they were as ignorant as her parents? She couldn't deal with this right now.

"Hello?" said a voice next to her. Santana turned her head to Brittany's door and saw a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was dressed in an odd-patterned blouse and jeans. Her face resembled Brittany's very much and she looked really pretty for her age.

"Mom? Did you open the door? I told you I would get it…" Brittany's muffled voice came from inside the flat. She sounded a bit stressed.

"Honey, there is a very beautiful woman standing in front of me…" Brittany's mom said. Santana blushed at the statement. The woman stretched out her hand so that Santana could grab it. "I'm Kate Pierce, Brittany's mother. And you are?"

Santana grabbed Mrs. Pierce's soft hand and shook it firmly. "I'm Santana. It's nice to meet y–"

"You're Santana?!" she shrieked loudly. Santana was pretty sure she looked like a deer caught in the headlights. She even flinched at the sudden reaction. Before she knew it, Mrs. Pierce pulled at her hand and grabbed her shoulders tightly. "It is so nice to meet you. Brittany's told me everything about you. You're even prettier in person…" The blonde pulled her in her arms and Santana didn't know what she should think about that. She saw Brittany coming towards her as her mom hugged her tightly, still swaying from side to side. Brittany laughed at Santana's facial expression and came closer.

"Mom, let her go! You're scaring her…"

"I am not…" Kate replied, pouting like a little child as she pulled away. "Right, Santana? I'm not scaring you, am I?" Santana still looked a bit shocked and even Mrs. Pierce figured out this kind of expression. "Oh God, I'm totally scaring you. I'm sorry, honey." She rubbed Santana's shoulder friendlily.

"Mom, could you just leave for a minute, please?" Kate looked sad but eventually joined Jake in the living room with her head down, like she just got scolded.

"Hey," Brittany greeted shyly, "what are you doing here?" she asked, smiling at Santana.

"I just came back from work and I wanted to surprise you 'cause I thought that you would be home by now," Santana answered. Brittany's smile grew with every second. She took Santana's hands in hers and pulled her towards her. Santana was still tense; Brittany could feel that, even as she was hugging her now. But after a while and with Brittany's arms around her waist, Santana visibly relaxed.

"I missed you," Brittany whispered into her ear which made Santana shiver. Santana, who was resting her head on Brittany's shoulder before, was now looking her straight in the eyes.

"I missed you, too," she repeated and placed a chaste kiss on Brittany's lips. Brittany smiled again as she pressed her lips to the brunette's again with more force.

"I'm so sorry about my mom. She's always like that…" Brittany said while she massaged Santana's left hand with hers.

"Nah, it's no big deal. She just took me a bit off-guard," Santana giggled.

"Yeah, I've figured that out already." They both laughed at Santana's previous reaction.

"Hey, honeys. You coming or what? Stop making out in the hallway when your parents are in the other room," Mrs. Pierce shouted from the living room. Santana blushed which made Brittany giggle.

"Don't worry about it, baby. She's just mocking us. You'll get used to it," Brittany said before she pecked Santana on the lips and yanked her towards the room where her parents were patiently waiting to bombard them with questions.

*B*S*

"Baby, is everything alright?" Santana asked as she approached Brittany from behind. Brittany just put the dishes in the sink and started to clean them when Santana snaked her arms around her waist and laid her head on Brittany's shoulder.

"Yeah, why?"

"You seem a bit tense. And you still haven't told me how it went on Sunday when you talked to Isabella. I'm afraid that it didn't go very well." Santana crossed her arms over Brittany's stomach and snuggled closer. "You know you can tell me everything, right?"

"Yeah, I know. But there's not much to talk about…"

"You sure?" Santana asked, still not really convinced.

"Yeah, everything's okay. It's just a little bit too much with my parents and all. I guess you already figured out that they're kind of…"

"Kind of what, Britt?" Her mom asked from behind them but they could hear her smiling when she asked. Santana instantly pulled away, turned around and rested her back against the counter.

"Ah, it's nothing. Don't worry about it," Brittany said, trying to change the topic. Kate just hummed in response.

"Do you know that you're probably the cutest couple I've ever seen? You're perfect for each other," Kate stated. Santana still couldn't believe that Brittany's mom was so cool about their relationship. She even called them a couple. They only went on one real date and they seemed like a couple nonetheless. Santana's smile grew instantly. Did Kate really think that they were girlfriends already? She figured out that it wasn't that bad to show affection in front of Brittany's parents so Santana quickly grabbed the blonde's hand and squeezed it. Brittany did the same and they both smiled shyly. It was a strange feeling to hold hands in front of Kate but it felt good. It made Santana's heart flutter.

"It's already late, Kate. We should get going, don't you think?" Jake asked as he entered the kitchen. "We should leave our two lovebirds here alone…" he said with a wink.

"But I don't want to leave my baby just yet," Kate pouted. Now Santana knew where Brittany's pout came from. The Pierces probably brought it to perfection over the years. She had to ask Jake someday how to escape that adorable pout without turning into a puddle of mush.

"We can visit them soon. But they need some time alone now, darling…" Kate looked at the ground like a sad puppy but nodded eventually.

"Yeah okay… you're right," she admitted and stepped closer to her daughter before taking her in a bear hug. "I'm going to miss you, baby. It was great to see you again." Santana could hear a sob escaping Kate and immediately felt badly for interrupting their family time earlier. Apparently they didn't see each other that often and with Santana's arrival they didn't have much time to talk.

"I can leave. It's no problem, I could just go home so that you can spend time together," Santana suggested.

"NO," the whole Pierce family shouted at the same time.

"We're leaving now."

"We can visit our daughter anytime."

"I want you to stay, San."

…

They all burst out into laughter at the ridiculousness of the situation. It seemed like everyone wanted Santana to stay. Santana herself wanted it so she guessed that it was settled then.

"Okay, okay. I'll stay." Santana answered, giggling. She loved this family already even after this short two hours.

"Okay, so we should go now." Jake finally said.

And after a long fifteen minutes and countless hugs from Jake and Kate, Brittany and Santana finally closed the door as they shouted their goodbyes one last time. Brittany let out a sigh and both women dropped down on the couch.

"You wanna watch a movie and cuddle?"

"I would love to," Santana answered before kissing Brittany firmly on the lips and snuggling into her side.
