A/N: Okay, I'm really really really really really sorry for this incredibly late update. Thankfully it's Christmas break and I have nothing else to focus on. Thank you for the kind words and reviews. I love hearing from you guys and knowing your opinion. Hope you enjoy this new chapter and I will try not to make you guys wait that long again.

Chapter Thirteen

Brittany's POV

I nervously drummed my thumbs on my steering wheel as I drive towards Santana's.

"Britt chill, everything is going to be fine," Quinn says. I picked her and Jenny up before getting San.

I look at Quinn giving her the 'are you kidding me' look and she quickly shuts up. "I don't see what the big deal is?" Jenny asks from the backseat. "From what I've heard you have great parents."

"My parents are great, but my mom can be difficult at times. You've only heard the good things because they took Quinn in when her parents kicked her out. But when it comes to the women I date, my mom is harsh," I say.

"Why?" Jenny asks.

"Good question. Never really knew and never asked," I say.

"But she loved your ex," Quinn adds.

"Whatever. She'll love Santana, but the second Santana mentions her job, how we met, or that Santana had a kid at nineteen it'll all be over," I tell her.

"Quinn had a kid at sixteen," Jenny adds.

"And gave her up for adoption, plus Quinn is another daughter to my parents, it's different. My mom has always been tougher on me."

"It's true sweetie. Britt's mom has been kind of tough on her through the years. She's never been to one of Britt's performances."

"Not even the one you choreographed?" Jenny asks shocked.

"No," I say a little sadly. It used to bother me when I was younger and as I got older I learned to not let it bother me, but I really thought she would come to this one. We finally get to San's. I let myself into the home after parking in front.

"Britty!" Nina greets me with a hug.

"Hey munchkin. Where's your mom?" I ask.

"Getting ready. She looks real pwetty," Nina says.

"Doesn't she always," I say in return. I walk towards Santana's room. "Hey gorgeous ready to go?"

"Yep," Santana says. I walk up to her and her arms instantly go around my neck while I put my arms around her waist and nuzzle my face into her neck. I just hold her for a few minutes in a comfortable silence.

"Are you sure you want to go?" I mumble.

San shakes slightly from giggling. "Yes I'm sure. Everything is going to be okay."

I pull back slightly and kiss her. I sigh and take her hand leading her out of the room and to my car. We say goodnight to Nina and Maria before leaving. When we get to my car Jenny and Quinn are making out in the backseat.

"Cut it out," I tell them as I get into the driver side.

"Oh come on it's not like we're having sex. I know your rules, only you can have sex in this car," Quinn repeats what I've told her many times.

"Damn straight and I have," I say giving Santana a wink. Apparently, Santana has a big attraction to Audi's, so when she said her fantasy was to have sex in one how was I going to deny her. I start driving towards my parents' home.

"So, Santana, are you nervous?" Jenny asks.

"A little. Are you?" Santana asks Jenny.

"Definitely. Have you been prepped?" she asks.

Santana looks at me and takes my hand in hers. "A little."

"Quinn has been giving little lectures all week," Jenny says and I can't help, but to laugh because Quinn would.

"Nice Q," I comment.

"What? I've never brought a girl to meet your parents," Quinn says.

"Aww I'm the first? I feel honored," Jenny says and gives Quinn a quick peck on the lips.

"You should, for some strange reason Quinn seeks the approval from my parents harder than I do," I laugh.

"That's because I'm not related by blood and they were kind to take me in," Quinn says.

"Yes and they love you like they love me. Sometimes I think my mom loves you more," I say jokingly, but Quinn knows better.

"Britt," Quinn warns knowing how many times we've had this conversation.

"Okay. So what else do we need to know?" Jenny asks trying to change the subject. "Basically how do Santana and I get your parents to fall in love with us."

"Be yourselves," Quinn answers.

"Avoid questions," I mumble, but everyone heard me.

Santana gives my hand a little squeeze. "Babe you need to calm down."

I let out a breath. Santana and I talked about this yesterday. She knows my feelings about this whole dinner and that I'm a little more than nervous because of my mom. Santana's thumb is lazily circling the back of my hand and it's working to calm me down. I love that the simplest touch from Santana can relax me.

"Oh you guys should also know within the first five minutes of dinner Katie and Britt will be at each other's throats," Quinn snickers.

"Really?" Santana asks.

"Definitely. Ever since they were younger they always had to have at least one fight at dinner. It's like tradition," Quinn laughs finding this whole thing amusing.

"Well Katie is a bitch and I don't put up with her bullshit," I tell them. "Oh god what if she brings Dick?"

"I thought say was dating Derek?" Jenny asks.

"She is Britt just renamed him Dick," Quinn laughs and Santana giggles too.

"Just calling it how I see it," I simply say causing everyone to burst into laughter. It calmed me down some, but as we start getting closer my nerves have kicked in full force. I finally pull into my parents' driveway. I can feel my heart rate increasing. I park the car and turn off the ignition.

"Hey Quinn, why don't you and Jenny go ahead?" I suggest and Quinn nods understanding.

They get out of the car and I turn to look at Santana. "I love you."

She smiles. "I love you too."

"Okay don't get mad at me for what I'm about to request."

"Alright," she says hesitantly.

"Please don't mention Nina. You know I love that little girl more than anything, but let my parents warm up to you first before telling them you have a kid," I suggest hoping she doesn't take it the wrong way.

"Okay," she simply agrees and I'm a little shocked. Sensing my surprise she continues. "I know you're nervous about tonight and if this helps ease the nerves then we won't mention I have a daughter, but we will tell them eventually."

"Thank you," I tell her and lean over the console to kiss her. We kiss for a few minutes before getting out of the car.

I take Santana's hand in mine and lead the way to the front door. Quinn and Jenny have already gone inside and are talking with my parents. I take a deep breath and lead us into the sitting area. Quinn and Jenny are sitting side by side on the couch with Katie sitting in one of the armchairs, my dad occupying the other chair and my mom sitting next to Quinn.

"Oh good Brittany, finally what took you so long?" my mom asks standing up to give me a hug.

"Nice to see you too mom," I say hugging her. "Mom this is my girlfriend Santana Lopez."

Santana steps up and shakes my mom's hand. "It's so nice to finally meet you Mrs. Pierce."

"Likewise. My daughter has been hiding you for quite some time according to Katie." I look over to Katie to see a smirk plastered on her face while I glare at her.

"Come on girls let's not start," my dad intervenes. "How about a hug for your father?"

I instantly smile. "Of course dad."

I hug my dad. "And how is my princess doing?"

"I'm fine dad."

"Who is this lovely young woman?" my dad asks stepping out of our embrace.

"Dad this is my girlfriend Santana Lopez," I introduce them.

Like with my mom, Santana shakes my father's hand and says, "It's nice to meet you sir."

"It's nice to meet you too Santana. Brittany you did well she's absolutely gorgeous," my dad says and I blush. He likes to think he's being cute when he embarrasses me.

"Thanks dad," I say and Santana blushes a little.

"Okay dinner is ready. Let's sit down and get to know everyone better," my mom suggests.

We take our seats at the dining room table. Santana and I are seated beside each other opposite to Quinn, Jenny, and Katie. My parents are sitting at the heads of the table. Everyone piles food onto his or her plates before the talking begins.

"So Jenny what do you do?" my mom asks starting with Quinn's girlfriend. This is only because she is going to grill Santana.

"I own a restaurant. Well it's a restaurant by day and a club at night," Jenny answers while everyone begins eating.

"That's nice. Where is the restaurant?" mom asks.

"In Manhattan. I was lucky to get the location I did," Jenny says and Quinn takes her girlfriend's hand clearly proud of her.

"Oh my god. I knew I knew you from somewhere," Katie speaks up. "You're Jenny Heard. I love your club."

Jenny blushes and thanks my sister. Well great this girl has Katie hooked, Katie won't be this kind towards Santana.

"Brittany," my dad says to me. "How's dancing going?"

"Yes how is not having a real job going?" Katie interrupts.

"About as well as you becoming a 50's housewife, so wonderful," I quickly reply, which earns a laugh from Quinn and both Jenny and Santana are trying to hide their amusement.

"Okay enough," mom says.

"It's going well dad. Actually, I'm choreographing this new Broadway musical that will come out early next year."

"That's fantastic Brittany. I'm so proud of you," dad says and I thank him. My mom says nothing.

"So Santana what do you do?" mom asks and I visibly tense.

"I just started classes at Columbia for my law degree," she says.

"Wow that's impressive," dad comments clearly impressed.

"Yes, very impressive. Columbia is a terrific school. Brie graduated from there," mom says definitely impressed with that. Mom was so happy when Brie got accepted.

"Well I'm really loving it," Santana says. I take her hand and smile proudly. She worked so hard to get into the Columbia and I couldn't be more proud. Thankfully she's failed to mention she's taking more evening classes because of her day job.

"Now are you originally from New York?" dad asks.

"No, I was born and raised in Ohio. I moved here when I got accepted to NYU."

"You didn't want to go to NYU for law school?" mom asks. Shit.

"Columbia was always my dream school," Santana answers.

"Well your parents must be proud," dad says.

"My mom is."

"What about your father?" mom asks.

"Mom," I warn because since Santana didn't mention it, it obviously means she doesn't want to talk about it.

"No it's okay. My dad died when I was sixteen, but he would've been really proud."

"Oh I'm sorry," mom says. "So what does your mom do?"

Seriously, this woman just loves firing off question after question. "Right now she works part time in a doctor's office as a secretary in the city, but she was a nurse when I was growing up in Ohio."

"Your mom lives in New York as well?" my dad asks.

"Yes she moved in with me about three years ago," Santana says and leaves it at that. Quinn decides to take over the conversation so my parents do go any further with why she moved. We start on dessert when the questions start up again this time lead by Katie.

"So how did you two crazy kids meet?" Katie smugly asks, almost like she knows something that no one else knows.

"Well it was about six months ago," Santana starts.

"It was actually at my birthday party," I speak up, but I'm getting a little nervous ago.

"Oh well I don't remember seeing you there. I think I would've remembered," my mom says.

"I was a waitress. I work part time for the company you hired to cater the event," Santana says and my mom immediately looks from me to my father then back to Santana.

"That's interesting," my mom says with a forced smile. Now she's beginning to judge. I can see her wheels turning.

"Yeah, but she didn't go for me at first. We didn't begin dating until a couple months after my birthday," I tell them.

"That's lovely sweetie," my mom says.

Dessert is nearly finished and the evening is, thankfully, almost over. Everyone begins moving into the living room and start gathering their belongings. My mother pulls my arm to stop me from following everyone.

"Your father and I would like to speak to you in the office for a moment." It isn't a request, but a demand.

I follow my parents into my dad's office. My mom shuts the door once I've entered. I take a seat in one of the chairs that sit opposite of my dad's that is behind his desk. Mom takes a seat beside me.

"First, you have been seeing someone for almost five months and we only find out because Katie ran into you two," mom starts. "Clearly, you're very interested and involved with this girl, so that's a slap to your father and I. Secondly, we do not approve of your relationship with Santana."

"What?" I exclaim and stand up from the chair. "What could possibly be wrong with her that you don't approve?"

"She's a lovely person, but we don't see her fitting into your lifestyle," mom says.

"You mean your lifestyle. Meaning she comes from a different class," I say.

"Exactly!"

"That's bullshit. It shouldn't matter what class she comes from what matters is how she cares about me and how she loves me; how I love her."

"Love?" mom says and almost laughs. "That's absurd. This isn't love Brittany this is some infatuation. Now listen to me, we've dealt with your little infatuations and adventures, but it's now time to grow up and think about your future."

"I am thinking about my future and right now Santana is in it. This isn't an infatuation; I am in love with Santana. It's not fair of you to judge someone because her back account doesn't match yours," I angrily say. My voice keeps rising and I know we're yelling at each other.

"Brittany you are to end this at once, this is not up for discussion."

"I'm twenty-two and this is my life. Dad you haven't said anything, please tell mom she's being unreasonable," I plead with my father.

He looks me straight in the eyes and says, "I agree with your mother, it's time for you to grow up."

I never thought my heart could break as much as it did right now. I take one look at both my parents and then to my father and say, "Fine you're dead to me."

I storm out of the office and see Katie, Quinn, Jenny, and Santana standing by the front door. Santana looks worried and Katie has a smirk on her face.

"We're leaving," I say evenly before anyone can ask questions.

"It was so nice meeting you Santana," Katie wickedly says.

I stop and turn to Katie, "Visit the hospital around two on Wednesday to see the current nurse he's been banging."

Derek has been cheating on my sister for two years now. I caught him last year with a nurse around that time on Wednesday.

"Britt that was uncalled for," Quinn says once we get into the car.

"She deserved it," I say.

The car ride back to the city is quit. I know everyone heard part of the conversation, but I don't know how much. I haven't really looked at Santana and that's because I'm embarrassed of my parents. I drop Quinn and Jenny off at Quinn's apartment then I drive to Santana's.

I park the car and she asks, "Are you coming in?"

"Yeah."

We got back late so everyone is asleep. We quietly make our way up to Santana's bedroom. Silently, we change and get into bed. I lay my head on Santana's chest and she begins combing her fingers through my hair.

After a few minutes of silence, I speak up. "They want me to stop dating you."

She stops her moment. "Why?"

"You're a different class. You don't fight into my lifestyle and this is just an infatuation. That's a direct quote from my mother. However she thinks you're lovely," I say.

"She really said that?" I nod. "What about your father?"

I'm once again silent because his words hurt the most. "He agreed with her," I quietly say.

"Brittany I'm sorry."

"Why? This isn't your fault that they're this judgmental about class division. I love you and nothing's going to change that. They're dead to me for all I care."

"Britt, don't say that they're your parents."

There's silence again until I break it, once again, a few minutes later.

"I don't think I've ever been this angry at my dad. I expected this from mom, but not my dad. He's always been on my side." Tears are beginning to weld in my eyes and I'm doing my best to hold them back, but I'm failing miserably. I can't hold them much longer and soon I'm crying. I cry myself to sleep with Santana holding me whispering words of comfort in my ear.

Please R&R it's most appreciative :)
