Chapter Four
The next morning, Santana wakes up to Quinn trying to wiggle free of her hold.
"Babe, I have to pee."
Half asleep still, Santana rolls over letting her wife get out of bed. Then she cuddles her pillow instead, and goes back to sleep. Shortly though, Quinn waddles back to bed, and struggles a little to get back in, and lays down with a huff. She looks over at her sleeping wife and snorts.
"What time did you get home, party animal?"
Santana groans. "Two, I think."
Quinn rubs the brunette's back. "Do you have work today?"
She shakes her head. "I gave everyone the day off to recover."
Quinn playfully rolls her eyes."Of course you did."
Santana rolls over again, facing her wife. "What time did you get to sleep?"
She thinks for a minute. "I went to bed around ten, but couldn't actually sleep until eleven."
Santana frowns. "Why did it take so long?"
Quinn shrugs, smiling. Confusing her wife.v"Mason couldn't sleep without his Mami singing to him."
Santana smiles and leans down to Quinn's belly.v"I'm sorry I wasn't here for you, mijo. But you'll have to sleep for Mommy too, so she can get some rest."
Quinn smiles down at her wife, rubbing her back.v"I played that song you recorded for me, and it calmed him."
Santana picks her head up, and scoots closer to Quinn.v"You still have that?" During their time apart in college, as a gift for her birthday, Santana recorded Maroon Five's song, She Will be Loved for her.
"Of course I do, I love it. And I love you." She says leaning over for a kiss.
Santana grabs the back of Quinn's neck though, and deepens it with a moan. Then she goes down to Quinn's neck, sucking and nibbling her pulse point.
"Do you think we could still have sex without traumatizing our son?" Santana asks against Quinn's skin.
The blonde snorts. "I don't think he would understand what's going on, so I'd say we're safe." Santana moans, then kisses her way down to Quinn's chest. She pulls down her over sized shirt, and takes a pink, perky nipple in her mouth.
"Ugh." Quinn moans. Santana returns to her wife's neck, while slipping her hand into her underwear. Quinn bucks her hips as Santana rubs her clit. "Ugh, S-San."
Santana grins. "You're already wet."
She nods. "You drive me crazy, baby."
Santana snorts, and reconnects their lips in a passionate kiss, then slips a digit into her wife. Quinn moans into the brunette's mouth, making it easy for her to slip her tongue in. Quinn thrusts her hips up to match Santana's pumps, and slightly pulls away from the kiss, breathless.
"M-More." Santana smiles, and adds another finger."Oh god, yeah."
Santana kisses Quinn's neck until, the blonde reaches her climax. As she tries to catch her breath, Santana slips out of her, making her whimper. Santana kisses her forehead.
"I love morning sex." Quinn snorts, then looks up at Santana, smirking. "What?"
"Sit on my face."
Santana's jaw opens, and she's practically drooling. "A-Are you serious?"
She giggles, nodding. "I can't lay on my stomach and eat you, baby. Sit on my face." She repeats.
"Oh, fuck." She moans, getting on her knees.
Quinn slides further down the bed, and Santana first takes off her pants and underwear, then throws her leg over her wife's head, so her core is hovering above her face. Santana holds on to the headboard. Quinn kisses the inside of her thighs.
"Lower yourself, babe."
Santana separates her legs further, so her core is even closer to Quinn's mouth. Quinn licks up her slit, to her clit, and sucks it. Santana moans, leaning her head against the head board.
Quinn then licks it, and spells out her name, then licks down to her wife's opening, and slides her tongue in as far as it'll go. "Ugh, fuck." She moans, humping her wife's tongue."Yeah, baby. That's the spot, keep doing that." She smirks, then replaces her tongue with two of her fingers, hitting Santana's 'G' spot, as she curls them. "Fuuuck." Santana moans.
Quinn goes back to sucking and licking Santana's clit, then slides a finger in her bottom hole. "Jesus. I'm c-close." Knowing her wife is going to explode soon, she picks up the pace."Ugh, Quuuuiinnnn!" She yells going over the edge. Santana is left breath less, and lazy she falls onto the bed beside Quinn. "Tha-at was a-ama-azing."
Quinn smiles and leans over, kissing the brunette's cheek. "I love you."
Santana looks over at her, smiling and still trying to catch her breath. "I Love you too." She leans over for a proper kiss, when the phone rings. Santana groans, then gets out of bed to fetch the phone, and returns to her spot on the bed. "What?" Quinn snorts, turning the tv on.
"Oh my god, I interrupted sex didn't I?" Mercedes asks.
Santana rolls her eyes. "Yeah, you did. So, whatever reason you're calling, it better be good."
"Me, Kurt and Marley are going shopping. We want you to come with."
"No." She says without a second thought.
"We're going to your favorite stores, and if you want, Quinn can come too."
"No, she can't be on her feet long, they're already swollen."
Mercedes huffs. "Then how about you both come to my house, and have our movie day. It's been awhile since we had one."
Santana thinks about it for a minute, then looks over at Quinn. "Do you want to go over Cedes house for movie day?"
She smiles. "I would love to."
Santana puts the mouth piece of the phone back. "Fine, we'll be there."
"Ok, see you soon."
After breakfast, the couple get showered and dressed before going over to Mercedes' apartment. "Who else is going to be there?" Quinn asks from the passenger seat.
"Kurt and Marley."
Quinn smiles. "Oh? Your girlfriend won't be?"
Santana rolls her eyes. "Baby, I love you, but this is getting old."
Quinn giggles. "It's really not." She says laughing.
Santana huffs. "You're still lucky I love you."
Quinn leans over and kisses her cheek. "I love you too."
Shortly they arrive at Mercedes' house, and is greeted with a lot of people screaming surprise.
"What the hell is this?" Santana asks.
"Your surprise baby shower." Mercedes answers.
Kurt guides Quinn to the couch, so she can be off her feet, and Santana follows, sitting next to her wife. That's when she notices everyone is here. People from work, high school and college friends, and both in laws. Maribel walks up to the couple and hugs them both.
"I missed you both very much. You need to call me more, after my grandson is born."
Santana playfully rolls her eyes. "Whatever you say, Mami."
Her father, and Russell approach them too. "We're just here to say hello, but them we're on way. This is for the ladies." The couple laugh, giving their hugs before both men leave.
"Ok, first we're going to play some games, then Quinn can open her gifts." Jenny announces.
She and Kurt pass out a piece of paper and pens, as everyone takes their seats around the room. Mercedes takes a spot on the love seat next to the married couple.
"Was this the plan all along?" Santana asks her.
Mercedes laughs, nodding her head. "I knew since being away from Quinn most of the day yesterday, you would have no problem agreeing to come here."
Santana raises her brows, Quinn just giggles. "So, that crap about going shopping was just bull shit?"
She shrugs. "As soon as you answered, I knew you were having sex, and just went with it. If you weren't, I would've just asked about movie day."
Santana just shakes her head. "Well, thank you for setting this up."
Mercedes shakes her head. "I didn't."
"Was it Kurt?"
She shakes her head again. "Jenny did."
Quinn bursts out laughing. Santana looks down, blushing while Mercedes looks confused. When she starts to explain, said girl walks over and hands them a piece of paper, with scrambled words on it.
"Wait until everyone has one, then you can start." Kurt follows behind her with a pen, and then both move on.
"What did I miss?" Mercedes asks.
Quinn giggles again. "Jenny has a thing for Santana."
Mercedes raises her brow. "And you're cool with that, after the whole Katie thing?"
Quinn clears her throat uncomfortably. "Katie was different, because she actually tried to split us up. It was bad time for us both in college, and she took advantage of it. Jenny is harmless"
Santana finally looks up with a huff. "Can we not talk about this?"
Quinn rubs her back, apologetically. "Sorry, babe. I'll stop." She smiles and leans in for a kiss.
"Ok, everyone you can start." Kurt announces.
Santana looks down at her sheet and groans. "I don't know a fucking thing." Quinn snorts. Santana peaks over to her wife's paper, and the blonde covers it.
"No cheating, babe."
She huffs, and leans over to Mercedes. "Pst, what's the first one."
Mercedes giggles. "Diaper, and I'm not giving you all the answers, figure it out yourself."
She huffs again, leaning back in her seat. "This game is bullshit." She says to herself, but loud enough for Quinn to here.
"The second one is pacifier." Quinn tells her. Santana smiles, and writes it down then tries the rest for herself, but only gets three more.
"Done!" Mercedes yells.
"What?! That's impossible." Santana complains.
Mercedes shrugs as Jenny checks her answers. "Yep, they're right." Kurt gives her a candle, and she waves it in front of Santana.
"Oh, it's so on, Cedes. Imm'a win the other games."
For the next two games, Santana and Mercedes continue to be competitive with each other, but in the end, Mercedes wins most of them. Santana gets over it quickly when Jenny announces it's time to open presents. Kurt hands Quinn the first one, which turns out to be from Judy. She opens the box, and holds up a light blue cardigan with a matching hat.
"Aw, thanks mom." She nods. Quinn turns to Santana."We can take him home in this, babe."
"Yeah, maybe we'll get some pants and a shirt to go with it."
Quinn puts it back in the box. Santana takes it from her and puts it aside. The next one is from Mercedes. Quinn opens another box, and holds up a dark blue onesie that says, how cute am I? making everyone laugh.
"That's perfect."
She winks. "As soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect for him."
The couple nod in agreement. The next few gifts consist of diapers, wipes, blankets, mittens so he doesn't scratch himself, bottles, a diaper bag, spoons and bowls, socks, sets for a bath and plenty of toys and books. The last two gifts are from Maribel and another from Judy she wanted them to open last. From Judy, she opens a travel stroller, with a car seat, and from Maribel, a convertible crib.
"Mija, that can convert into a toddler bed when he's older."
"Oh cool, gracias, Mami." She says hugging the women, and also hugs Judy as well for her gift. Thinking they opened all of them, Santana and Mercedes start to get ready to put them in their car.
"Wait, you have to open mine yet." Jenny says. Santana and Mercedes sit back down. Jenny gives Quinn a fairly large box. She opens it and reveals a baby swing. "The seat on that has different positions, so it can swing back and forth, or side to side." Jenny says.
Quinn smiles. "Thank you." She nods.
"Thanks." Santana says, taking the box from Quinn.
After presents, the couple mingle with the guests, while eating lunch. Though Santana makes sure Quinn doesn't stay on her feet too long, and has plenty to drink. Talking with Maribel, Quinn cringes, holding her stomach. Santana frowns.
"What's wrong, Mi Amor?"
"My stomach is hurting a little."
Santana looks to her mother for help. "Is that normal?"
"It could be Braxton hicks, you'll be fine."
"Will it go away?" Quinn asks, worried.
"It should, it's just your body getting ready for the real thing." She nods.
Santana rubs her back. "Do you wanna go home? We've been here all day."
"Y-Yeah, I think so. If I'm going to be in pain, I want to be home in bed."
"Ok." Santana turns to Mercedes."Can you help put everything in the car? Quinn wants to leave."
"Sure."
After they get the gifts inside the car, the couple so their goodbyes before leaving. Santana reaches over the center council for Quinn's hand.
"How are you feeling now? Stomach still hurt?"
She nods. Santana takes a deep breath, worried, but keeps quiet, not wanting to stress Quinn out. When they arrive at the house, Santana helps Quinn inside, and takes the big stuff out of the car, like the crib, stroller and swing. Then goes back for the smaller stuff, while Quinn rests in their bed. When she's finished, she checks on Quinn quick, then calls Dr. Holiday.
"What's up, chicka?"
"I'm just worried about Quinn, she's been having stomach pains for the last half hour. My Mami told me it could be Braxton hicks, but I want to be sure."
"Hm, well she's right, but if the baby doesn't move very much, or Quinn starts to have back pain, or even bleeds, take her to the hospital right away, ok?"
She nods. "O-Ok." She says getting choked up.
"Santana, relax. It could turn out to be nothing, but if she does have to go to the hospital, I'm going to do everything I can for mom and baby, ok?" Again, she nods. Dr. Holiday sighs feeling bad for the Latina."Go check on Quinn, tell me if she has any pain, or you see any blood."
Santana rushes to the master bedroom. Quinn is still sleeping. Not wanting to wake her, she just checks for blood, but finds none. "Th-There's no blood."
"Good. Just keep an eye on her, and I'll be standing by, ok?"
"O-Ok, thank you." She hangs up the phone and puts it on the night stand, then gets into bed with her wife, taking a nap with her.
A few hours later, Santana wakes up to Quinn in panic, shaking her."San, wake up. Something's wrong with Mason." That gets her up quickly. She looks over and sees a good amount of blood in their bed. She jumps off the mattress and scrambles to help Quinn.
"We have to go to the hospital."
She carries Quinn out of the room, and on her way out the house, she grabs the car keys. The drive is spent honking her horn and yelling at everyone, while occasionally trying to calm a sobbing Quinn.
"Mi Amor, everything is going to be fine. I talked to Dr. Holiday, she's going to make sure you and the baby are ok."
"He's not moving, San."
Santana takes her wife's hand. "Baby, I need you to relax, this isn't going to help you or our son, ok? Take deep breaths, we can't think of the worst, ok? We have to be positive."
As scared as she is, she doesn't want to show it. Quinn is scared enough for the both of them, and one of them has to be strong. Santana soon pulls into the emergency wings parking lot, and carries her wife inside.
"Por favor, help. My wife is pregnant and she's bleeding."
A few nurses run up to them with gurney. Santana gently lays Quinn on it. "Who is your doctor?" A nurse asks.
"Dr. Holiday." Santana answers.
The women nods. "Yes, she told us you might come. We're going to take her to Dr. Holiday. You're going to have to wait out here."
They push Quinn through the doors, and Santana finally breaks down, covered with her wife's blood. A man, waiting for some X-rays, feels sympathy for her.
"Ma'am, I know this is a tough time right now. Maybe you should call some family and friends, I bet you could use the support."
She sniffles looking up at the kind man, and nods. "D-Do you have a phone? I left mine at home."
He smiles sympathetically. "Sure." He takes out his iPhone and hands it over.
"Thank you." She whispers.
He nods, then returns to his seat, to give her some privacy. The first person she calls is her mother, then Quinn's. Then she calls Mercedes, Kurt and Rachel. After using the phone, Santana returns it to the man, and waits for information on her wife, and also for her family and friends to arrive.
Though it doesn't take long, Maribel and her father are first to show, and like she's a little girl again, Santana runs into her arms and sobs."Wha-at if th-they aren't o-ok?"
Maribel rocks back and forth, while rubbing her back. "Don't think like that, Mija. We have to be positive, ok?"
Carlos kisses the back of her head. "He's a Lopez, and us Lopez's are born strong."
Maribel guides Santana back to her seat, and holds her daughter close. Carlos sits on the other side of his wife. Mercedes and Kurt show up next. Both ask what's going on, and gives hugs to Santana and her parents, then sit across from them.
"We don't know anything yet. I'm sure it won't be long though." Maribel answers for Santana.
Mercedes sighs. "This is crazy. How can something be wrong this late into the pregnancy?"
"It could happen." Maribel continues."People don't know it, but there is a lot that can go wrong, but we're lucky enough to have very good doctors to take care of them." She says, feeling Santana stiffen in her arms. Next to show are Rachel, Finn and surprisingly Jenny.
"We would've gotten here sooner, but our car got a flat, and that's when we ran into Jenny. She lent us her spare." Rachel explains. She and Finn both hug Santana, then sit next to Mercedes and Kurt.
"Do you know anything yet?" Jenny asks, sitting on the other side of Santana.
"Nope, nothing." Kurt answers.
She nods, leaning back in her seat, and looks helplessly over at Santana. Next to arrive are Quinn's parents, and they're also informed of Quinn's condition, then continue to wait. A few minutes later, Dr. Holiday walks in the waiting area, and everyone quickly stands up.
"Is Quinn and the baby ok?"
She nods. "For now."
Santana chokes a sob. Maribel rubs her back, Jenny rubs her arm. "What does that mean? What's wrong?"
"Quinn has developed placental abruption."
"What's that?"
"There is bleeding behind the placenta, and because there's a lot, I had to give her a blood transfusion."
"Is that bad?" Maribel asks for Santana, too upset to ask herself.
"The placenta may partially or completely separate from the lining of her uterus before the baby is born. So, we're keeping a very close eye on her and the baby. They're both stable right now, but if the baby goes into distress, I'm going to have to perform an emergency cesarean."
Maribel and Judy take Santana back to her seat to comfort her. Jenny thanks the doctor and joins them, with the others following.
After another few minutes of waiting, Mercedes, Kurt, Rachel and Finn, Carlos and Maribel, and Russell and Judy go to the cafeteria for dinner. Leaving Santana and Jenny in the waiting room. Santana has fallen asleep, but doesn't look comfortable in the position she's laying on the chair. So, Jenny flags down a nurse who happens to walk by them.
"Excuse me, can you get a pillow and blanket for my girlfriend? We'll be waiting for awhile, and I want her to be comfortable."
She smiles politely. "Sure, I'll be right back."
"Thank you."
Jenny looks over at Santana, and rubs the brunette's back, then leans down and kisses her forehead. The nurse returns with the pillow and blanket, she thanks the women again, and then gently puts the pillow under her head, and puts the blanket on. Santana moves in her sleep, and starts to wake up. She looks around, confused.
"Where is everyone?"
"Cafeteria, they got hungry, and didn't know how long we'll be waiting."
Santana stretches her arms over her head. "Did the doctor come back?" Jenny apologetically shakes her head, and she sighs in defeat. "I'm so scared. My son might be born three weeks early, what if there's something wrong with him?" She asks helplessly.
Jenny rubs her back. "Quinn is in her third trimester, right?" She nods."Then everything is going to be ok. The last few weeks is just to let the baby grow. Everything is developed and technically he's already at full term. He's gonna be fine."
Santana sniffles. "You think so?"
She nods. "Yeah, try not to worry."
Dr. Holiday walks out from the emergency doors, and again, the girls a re quick to their feet.
"Is everything ok?" Santana asks.
"I'm sorry, San. He's gone into distress, nurses are prepping Quinn for surgery. Come with me, I'll get you some scrubs."
She nods and follows Dr. Holiday down the hall, but then turns around and hugs Jenny. "Thank you. If you see everyone else, fill them in, ok?"
She nods and Santana pulls away from the hug, and continues to follow the doctor. She's taken to an operating room, and outside it are shelves full of scrubs. The doctor hands her some, and she quickly puts them on in the hall, along with a mesh cap.
"Wait here for a minute, I'll come back out for you."
She nods and watches Dr. Holiday walk through the double doors. She peaks into the small window, and sees Quinn siting at the edge of the table, leaning on a nurse, while the doctor gives her an epidural.
Santana bites her lip, impatient, watching the nurse help Quinn lay back down. Then they start to prepare for surgery, once they're finished, Dr. Holiday returns for Santana. She rushes to Quinn's side, and kisses her forehead.
"San, I'm so scared. What if there's something wrong?"
She takes Quinn's hand. "He's gonna be fine, Mi Amor. The last couple of weeks are just so he can grow, he's not gonna have any problems." While she comforts her wife, the doctor starts the surgery.
"Ok, I'm starting to cut. Quinn, when we start pulling him out, you're going to feel a lot of pressure, ok?" Dr. Holiday explains. She nods, and squeezes Santana's hand, starting to cry.
"It's ok, Mi Amor. You're fine, and Mason is going to be fine."
"I can't help it, San. I'm scared."
She sighs, and thinks of something to help calm her wife. "I don't mind spending everyday, standing out in the pouring rain." She quietly sings."And she will be loved, she will be loved." Quinn smiles up at her, already feeling more relaxed.
"I'm cutting into the uterus now." Dr. Holiday announces. As she does, a lot of liquid comes out. "Whoa. Well, now we know why you developed placental abruption. There's a lot of amniotic fluid here." She explains."Quinn, you're going to feel the pressure now, sweetie."
She nods. "Ok."
Santana kisses her forehead again. As Dr. Holiday starts pushing down on Quinn's stomach to help get the baby out, she holds on even tighter to her wife's hand.
"You're not in any pain are you?" Santana asks, worried.
She shakes her head. "No. It feels really weird though, and I don't like it." Santana rubs her arm.
"I got the head out." The doctor announces. Santana peaks over the sheet and smiles, seeing a head full of dark hair. She looks back down at Quinn.
"He's got a lot of hair." She says with a laugh.
Quinn smiles up at her. "What color is it?"
"Dark, like mine. Just like you wanted, baby." She says leaning down for a proper kiss.
Dr. Holiday continues to pull him out, freeing his shoulders, making it easier the rest of the way. The room is filled with a loud cry, and the nurses clap. Santana and Quinn start to cry. Dr. Holiday holds Mason up over the sheet so Quinn can see him, as he continues to cry. The newborn has dark, thick hair, and a dark skin complexion, with Quinn's nose and chin, but has Santana's lips.
"He's so beautiful." Quinn gushes.
Dr. Holiday drops him into a nurses arms, and she takes him away to get cleaned off and weighed, while the doctor delivers the after birth, then starts closing Quinn up.
"I'm gonna go see him, ok?" She nods. Santana walks over to the corner of the room and watches the nurses weigh him.
"You got a big boy on your hands." A nurse says. She giggles."Eight pounds, ten and a half ounces."
They take him off the scale, then take his feet, and put them in ink, to put on his birth certificate. All the while he continues to cry. After they finish, a nurse puts a hat on him and starts to wrap him like a burrito, then gives him to Santana.
She smiles down at her son, and kisses his forehead."Bienvenidos al mundo, mi hermoso bebé." She says swaying with him."You scared me and mommy, I think we're gonna have our hands full with you." Hearing a familiar voice, he starts to calm down, and his cries turn into whimpers. She glances over at Quinn."Do you wanna meet your mommy? She's very anxious to meet you." Santana walks over to Quinn's side, and puts him next to her head, so she can get a better look.
She smiles and kisses his temple. "Hi my sweet baby boy. I'm your mommy." He makes a little noise in response."I can't wait to hold you."
A nurse walks up them, smiling at the new family. "I'm sorry, but I have to take him to the nursery now. But I'll give him back for his first feeding, we just need to double check everything is ok." Quinn and Santana give him another kiss, before she passes him off to the nurse."Does this little guy have a name? If not, we can wait to fill out the rest of his birth certificate."
Santana nods. "Mason Carter Lopez-Fabray."
The nurse looks down at the newborn. "What strong, good name you got, baby boy." The couple giggle and watch the nurse walk out with their son. Dr. Holiday walks around Quinn to her side, and takes off her mask.
"You're closed up, baby mama. We're gonna take you to a private room now, then when they're done with the baby, they'll bring him in, and show you how to breastfeed, ok?" She nods. The nurses take off the sheet, that had been held up in front of Quinn's face, then help off the table and onto a gurney. Then wheel her off to her room.
"Mi Amor, I'm gonna go tell everyone you and the baby are ok. I'll be right back."
She nods and Santana gives her a kiss before rushing to the waiting room. Just like they had done with the doctor, they all stand up. Santana smiles brightly.
"Mason is healthy, at eight pounds, ten and half ounces." They all cheer and Maribel is the first to hug Santana. Jenny is the last, hers lingering a little longer.
"Congratulations." She says pulling away."When do we get to see him?"
Santana shrugs. "He's in the nursery right now. When they're done, they'll bring him to Quinn's room, and show her how to breastfeed."
Maribel gives her daughter a stern look, and points her finger. "You make sure Quinn keeps trying to breastfeed that baby. Even if she feels like giving up, ok? It's the best thing for a baby, and you won't have to worry about gas, or him getting colic." Judy nods in agreement.
"Ok, dully noted. I don't know what y'all are gonna do but, I'm gonna back to my wife. Maybe you can see him after he's fed. So, I'll call you, ok?"
They all agree to go home and give more hugs before they leave. Santana is directed to Quinn's room, and she goes inside to find her sleeping. She smiles and sits on the chair next to her bed, then holds her wife's hand before going to sleep herself.
The couple both wake up to Mason crying, as the same nurse who took him, walks in with him in a bassinet, with "Lopez-Fabray" tapped to it. "Someone's hungry." Santana helps Quinn sit up, and the nurse passes a screaming Mason to the blonde.
"Since he's crying, this will be a little easier. Just put your nipple in front of his mouth, and rub it on his upper lip. He should get the hint and want to latch, then bring him to your nipple and make sure he latches to the underside of the areola. He'll get more breast tissue that way." Quinn does what she's told, and Mason easily latches to her breast."If you can hear that he's sucking, he's getting milk. If not, try again." They all listen and the nurse grins."He's a fast learner. If you need any help, hit the nurses button."
"Thank you." Quinn calls after her as she leaves. Santana gets comfortable sitting next to Quinn on the bed, as they watch their son."I want him to open his eyes. I bet they'll be brown like yours."
Santana smiles, then creases the top of Mason's head. "No, they won't change color until he gets older. All babies are born with black eyes."
"Hm. Do you think he'll open them if you sing?"
She shrugs. "What should I sing?"
Quinn thinks for a moment, and smiles. "How will I know?"
She nods. "Good choice." Santana quietly sings to him, and Mason looks towards the sound, cooing. As she continues to sing, the new born never takes his eyes off her. Quinn giggles.
"Looks like he's already a Mami's boy."
Santana leans down and kisses his forehead, and Quinn passes the baby over to her. "Did you like my singing, mijo? Did it relax you, huh?" He grins up at her.
"Aw, he smiled, babe. Make him do it again."
Santana giggles, the creases Mason's cheek to get him to smile. "Come on, mijo. Smile for Mami." He grins again.
"I can't believe he's smiling already." Quinn gushes.
"Well, it could be gas." Santana gets a slap in the arm from her wife.
"Nope. Let me believe my son is a genius."
She snorts. "Your son?"
Quinn rolls her eyes. "You know what I mean." Mason yawns and cuddles Santana's boob, making her laugh.
"He's already a boob man, like his mommy." Quinn slaps her again. Santana continues to laugh."Oh come on, that was funny."
They soon call everyone, to let them know they can return to visit for a few hours. Once they arrive, Mason is passed around the room, and a lot of pictures are taken, until visiting hours are over. Mason is left with them in their room, but the nurse occasionally checks on the small family.
The night is spent waking up every few hours, for either a feeding, or diaper change, and the next day they're released from the hospital. Before that though, Maribel had to drop off Mason's car seat, cause hospital policy is a newborn can't leave without one, or without getting a lesson on how to properly buckle the baby, and how to put it in the car.
After a few weeks, both Quinn and Santana finally get comfortable with their new routine of having a new born in the house. At first Santana would go to work like a zombie, since she also insisted on helping Quinn, but now Mason is sleeping through the night. Today is Quinn's first day going back to work, and the blonde hates it.
Santana took the day off, but told Mercedes, Kurt and Jenny they could call if they need any extra help. Quinn is holding Mason to her chest, walking around the living room, as Santana sits on the couch, watching tv.
"Babe, you have to leave, you're gonna be late." She says not looking away from the tv.
"I know, but I don't want to."
Santana smiles and walks over to her. "Would you feel better if I call during your lunch break?"
Quinn takes a second to think. "I'd feel better if you FaceTime me."
She snorts. "Ok, deal. Now, give me my son." Quinn kisses the back of his head a few times, before finally giving him up."Have a good day, baby. I love you." Quinn smiles leaning in for a passionate kiss. Santana moans into her mouth.
"Love you too." She winks. Santana groans, making her giggle as she walks out the room. Santana sits with Mason on the couch, laying him on her stomach, so he can watch the tv.
"Just wait, mijo. It won't be long before mommy calls." She smiles as he coos in response.
The rest of the morning, Santana spends it taking care of Mason, and occasionally eating or napping. He didn't sleep the whole night for the first time in weeks, because he's now in the nursery. It took her singing to get him to sleep. As she tries to nap again, however, Mason starts crying again. She groans, walking to the nursery.
"Mijo, what's wrong?" She asks walking toward the crib. But her question is soon answered when she smells a foul order."Pew, someone needs a change." She takes him to the changing table, and reaching for a new diaper, she notices their low, and groans again."Look like we're going shopping little man."
She changes him into a new diaper, then packs a diaper bag to bring to the store with them, and puts Mason into his car seat, before leaving the apartment. Mason loves road trips, and stays content for Santana until they reach the store. Only needing a few things, she takes a cart to put the car seat on, then heads straight for the baby section.
She grabs the diapers she needs, along with wipes and more bay wash and shampoo, then goes into the direction of the cash register, going behind another women. Waiting for her turn, she flips through a parent magazine.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to weird you out or anything, but you look really familiar to me."
Santana looks up to the women in front of her. She has short blonde hair, and brown eyes. "It's ok, but I'm sorry I don't think we've met."
The women takes a second to think, and gasps. "You're Santana Lopez." She squints her eyes, confused."I'm sorry. I should explain myself. I'm Alice, Jenny's friend."
"Oh, ok. Nice to meet you." She says smiling politely.
"You too." She looks down at Mason."Is this Mason?' She nods, still a little weirded out a stranger knows who her and her son are. Alice smiles."He is so cute."
"Thank you."
"How old is he?"
"Almost a month."
"Jenny has showed us so many pictures of him. And has told so many stories."
Santana smiles. During their breaks, she tends to go into stories of what Mason had done the night before, or even the morning. Jenny has also been to their house a few times, and loves to take pictures of him.
"Yeah, I'm one of those moms always talking about their baby."
Alice laughs. "I think it's cute." The lady behind the register has been waiting for their conversation to end, but gets impatient.
"Ma'am, you're holding up the line."
"Well, it was nice meeting you."
Santana nods and discreetly goes to a different register. Not that she didn't think the women was nice, she just finds the situation weird.
At the house, Santana feeds Mason another bottle, then puts him down for another nap in his pack n' play, and takes one herself on the couch.
When Jenny arrives at Snixx Stix, she is asked to help fold more napkins once again, and also cleans some of their serving plates for them, before Mercedes informs her she can go back home, since Santana isn't there, and they don't need her to do anymore.
Jenny happily leaves, but instead of going home, she goes to Santana and Quinn's apartment. She goes inside, using her own key and quietly closes the door behind her, then quietly slips in the living room. She smiles seeing Santana sleeping on the couch, and leans down kissing her cheek. Then looks over to the pack n' play, to find Mason awake.
"Hey, handsome. Are you hungry?"
She picks him up, and takes him into the kitchen to grab a bottle from the fridge. Sometimes Quinn will pump, so Santana could feed him, and to relieve herself when Mason doesn't need a feeding. Jenny sits at the table while she feeds Mason a bottle.
"You're growing so fast, before you know it, you'll be walking and talking soon."
Mason coos, drinking the milk. When he finishes it all, Jenny burps him, then puts him back in the pack n' play. Santana whimpers in her sleep, and she sits at the edge of the couch next to her. For a few minutes, she just stares at the Latina, and it gets her thinking about what it would be like to kiss her lips again. It usually happens when she talks to Santana, and she's been doing it a lot lately.
Now that it's in her head, she really wants to kiss the Latina. So, without giving it another thought, Jenny leans down and chastely kisses Santana's lips. She gasps at the feeling and smiles, then creases her cheek. Santana moves in her sleep, and slowly wakes up, confused.
"Jenny? What are you doing here?"
She shrugs. "I wanted to check on you. Don't worry, I fed Mason already."
Santana glances over at Mason babbling to himself in the pack n' play. She sighs, sitting up on the couch. "Alright. Is uh everything ok at work?"
She nods. "Mercedes, Kurt and Mike have everything in control." Santana squints her eyes, still not understanding.
"How did you get in here?"
"Door was unlocked." She lies.
"Shit. I must of forgotten coming from the store."
Jenny frowns. "That can't be good to forget."
Santana snorts. "No, it's not. Are you hungry?"
"Do you have any pizza?"
She nods, then goes to fetch some. Jenny gets comfortable on the couch, and changes the channel on the tv. The phone rings and she can hear Santana talking to Quinn. She rolls her eyes. Santana walks into the living room with her cell phone, and she realizes they're on FaceTime.
"See, Mi Amor? He's fine, he's been so good for me too."
"Hi, baby. Mommy misses you so much, I can't wait to go home and hold you again." She hears from the other end.
Santana glances into the kitchen, when the microwave goes off, and turns her phone towards herself. "Babe, I have to go, that's the pizza. I love you, and I'll see you when you get home."
"Ok, my break is almost over. I love you too, bye."
Santana hangs up the phone. "I'll be right back with your pizza."
Jenny nods with a polite smile, and watches Santana go into the kitchen. "Today is Quinn's first day back at work, isn't it?" She calls out to the Latina.
"Yeah." She yells back.
"How is she doing so far?"
Santana returns with Jenny's pizza and a drink. She sets it in front of the brunette, on the coffee table. Then sits on the recliner. "Better than I thought, actually. But I think the thought of coming home soon is helping."
Jenny bites into her pizza nodding. "Very true." She says around her food, then swallows. "I'm surprised you didn't take time off to stay with Quinn and Mason."
She shrugs. "Of course I wanted to, Quinn insisted though."
Jenny nods, and finishes her pizza and drink in silence, as they both watch tv. Then Mason starts to fuss and Santana feeds him another bottle. "He's gotten so big."
Santana smiles down at her son, and kisses his forehead. "Yeah, he loves to eat. Russell is happy about it too. He says he'll be the perfect size for football."
Jenny rolls her eyes. "Is that what all men care about, sports?"
She shrugs. "Your guess is as good as mine. We already told him it'll be Mason's choice if we wants to be in any sport. Russell may be obsessed, but he won't push him."
Jenny nods. "You don't mind me being here, do you? I just thought maybe you would want some company."
Santana shakes her head. "No, it's fine." Thinking back to her exchange at the store, Santana decides to bring it up."I met one of your friends today at the store."
Jenny looks shocked for a second, but quickly smiles to cover it. "Oh yeah?"
Santana nods. "Her name was uh, Alice."
Jenny squirms in her seat, clearing her throat. "W-What did she say?"
She shrugs. "Just who she is, how cute Mason is. She also mentioned you like to tell a lot of stories about him."
"Oh. That's all?"
She nods, then sets the bottle down, and puts Mason on her shoulder to burp him. Jenny's cell phone starts ringing, so she excuses herself from the room, and goes into the kitchen, so she can still see Santana and Mason. She sighs, seeing who's calling. "Hello?"
"Jenny, where the hell are you? I told you I would be here to pick up my book you borrowed." Bette asks angrily into the phone.
"I'm at Santana's house, I'm sorry I forgot."
"This is the fourth time I tried getting this back from you, only to have you be there instead. I'll be waiting until you come home, I'm not doing this again. I have things I need to get done, and this is wasting my time."
Jenny rolls her eyes. "Fine, I'll be there in a few." She groans hanging up the phone.
"Everything ok?"
She turns around, jumping a little and smiles "Yeah. I have to leave though. I promised a friend something, and it doesn't help that I'm here, and not home. I'll see you at work?" Santana nods. Jenny gives her a tight hug, then goes out to the living room to say goodbye to a Mason before going home.
Authors Note
I know I didn't warn you about the change of POV, but I thought it would be more of a surprise that way. For those of you who have never seen "The L Word," Jenny is a crazy, complex character, and she only gets crazier until the end. I don't think she'll be too extreme in this story, but it'll have it's fare share of crazy, and I hope you continue to enjoy it(:
