Sorry, about the delay guys. Although, I will admit that I was a little discouraged by the lack of reviews :/. I really would appreciate them guys! Anyways enjoy!

"Merry Christmas!" Brittany squealed as Santana let her into her house.

"Hah, Brit it's not Christmas yet," Santana laughed back.

"Yeah, but there's only a week left, and this is my favorite time of the year. Don't ruin it for me!"

"Okay, Brit Brit merry Christmas," Santana giggled at her extra smiley girlfriend.

"Ya know Santana I've noticed that your house is missing one very important Christmas thing," Brittany said matter of factly as she removed her coat and dropped a small gift bag on the floor.

Santana just gave her a questioning look. Then Brittany pulled out a sprig of plastic Mistletoe from her pocket and jiggled it above her head.

Santana looked up at it and laughed, "Oh yeah, I guess you're right."

She looked around for her parents. She was so incredibly grateful for how accepting they were of her and Brittany's relationship, and it was for that reason that she didn't want to push it and make them uncomfortable yet. She was just waiting for them to give her a hint that it was cool to be physical with Brit around them, and she was perfectly okay with that right now. Once she noticed that they weren't around she took a step towards her girlfriend, put her hands on her cheeks, and gave her a very sweet kiss.

"I think I found my new favorite part of Christmas," Brittany smiled.

"I definitely found my new favorite part," Santana replied with an equally large smile.

Santana looked down at the floor and gave a questioning look to Brittany who replied, "It's you're Christmas gift. I couldn't wait."

She picked it up and began to hand it to Santana, but she was still looking at very confused. The look was well deserved considering the bag was decorated with a large cartoon stork carrying a baby in a blanket with his beak. The words above it read "CONGRATULATIONS ON YOU'RE NEW BABY!".

"Brit are you trying to tell me something?" she asked.

"What? Oh, the bag. Yeah, it was the only one they had that was the right size, sorry," she shrugged.

"Oh, good you had me scared for a second. Anyways, hold that thought. Come on I have a present for you too," Santana smiled.

She grabbed the blonde's hand then dashed up the stairs into her room. It was dark but clean and fresh. Brittany had always found Santana's room so comforting. The dark walls and décor made it feel like she was in a cave in some faraway place, like it was a world in and of itself. The first thing Santana did was grab her laptop then she plopped down cross-legged on her bed. Brittany followed suit with her new baby bag.

"You first," Santana stated. In all honesty she was putting off her gift because she was nervous. She wasn't nervous about the actually content of the gift, just that it wouldn't be good enough. It was such a small gesture, and she hadn't spent any money. All she could hope for was that Brittany wouldn't think she was a failure of a girlfriend.

"Okay," Brittany smiled as she handed her gift to Santana for the second time.

Santana pushed aside all the tissue paper and pulled out a stuffed panda bear.

"Awe, Brit Brit it's so cute. I love it!" Santana gleamed.

"Well, I'm glad you like it but listen for second, okay," Brittany demanded

Santana was holding the bear tight to her chest then she looked up into her girlfriend's sparkling blue eyes.

"Well, right before you sang Songbird to me I told you I was a sad little panda because Artie broke up with me."

Santana mentally winced at the thought of Artie and Brittany's past relationship, but Brittany just continued.

"Well, now I'm with you, and I'm a very happy little panda," she smiled as if trying to accentuate her point. "Oh, and look at her ear."

Santana looked away from the gorgeous blue pools that she had been staring into and looked at the tag that was pierced into the toy's ear. It was one of those small, heart shaped cardboard tags on which little kids are supposed to write their new stuffed pet's name. This one read "Hi! My name is….Brittany S. Pierce". Santana pulled the panda in even tighter to her chest and looked back up at the blonde with, what she'd unfortunately imaged, resembled Finn's gassy baby face.

"I thought that you'd like having me around even when I'm not. This way even if I'm not here we can still cuddle," Brittany grinned.

"Oh my God, babe I love it so much. I love you so much. This is incredible!" Santana exclaimed followed by a leap in Brittany's direction, resulting in both girls toppling over and a very messy wet kiss.

"Oh, crap I almost forgot about you're present! Okay, come here." This time the girls sat side by side. Santana put her laptop in her lap and began to log into her Facebook.

"Oh my God, you're giving me Facebook for Christmas?" the blonde squealed.

"No, Brit I don't really have that kinda power, but," she stopped as she when into her settings.

"I know it's dumb, and it's not as good as your gift, but I couldn't find anything that was good enough for you that could afford. This was the only thing I could think of," she muttered biting her lower lip.

Brittany just stayed quiet and looked at the screen. Then slowly, so that Brittany would understand exactly what was going on, she changed her relationship status from single to in a relationship. Then on the line that asked for a name she typed in Brittany S. Pierce whose picture showed up next to it. She clicked save.

Like she said it was such a tiny gesture and Brittany might have thought nothing of it, but to her it was a big deal. For the most part she was already out, but it was only an unspoken everyone kind of knew anyways type of deal. This was her public announcement, her official coming out. It wasn't just the kids from school, her friends included her family, unfortunately even the ones as closed minded as her abuela, but she didn't care. She just publically told 975 people that she was proudly in love with Brittany S. Pierce.

"Baby," Brittany whispered, "that's the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten. I'm so proud of you. That's incredible, thank you."

She grabbed Santana's chin and turned her head to look into her dark eyes. "I love you," she grinned. Then she tilted Santana's head up towards hers, and placed her lips on hers. They sat there kissing each other slowly for what seemed like an eternity but were interrupted by her mother abruptly entering the dark bedroom bringing the light from the hallway with her.

Santana pulled away from Brittany then gave her mom a look that clearly said "sorry you had to see that".

The look on her mother's face was nearly indiscernible. Indifference? Pity? Shame? Anger? She was unsure.

"Santana can I talk to you for a second?" her mother asked simply.

Santana left the room behind her mother and shut the door. She felt bad. Her mother was different than any other person in the world. She respected her mother. She always wanted to please her, to never hurt her.

"Why do you look so scared hija?" she asked.

"Because I don't want you to be uncomfortable about me and Brit. I don't want to be the one to put you in that position," Santana muttered with her head still down.

"No, no don't think that way baby," she assured her. "Your papì and I are so happy for you two. You're adorable, and honestly I would MUCH rather see you kiss Brittany than that awful Puckerman boy," she laughed. "As long as you two don't go crazy around us, because that would make any decent parent uncomfortable, you guys can feel free to hold hands, or kiss, or be gross and sappy. And I know you are hija you can fool everyone else, but there's no fooling mamì you are a hopeless romantic for that girl," she smiled.

"Mamì Te amo!" she yelled even though she was still blushing from the unwanted, albeit, true observation.

"Te amo tambien, baby," the loving mother smiled.

Santana embraced her mother and buried her head in her thick dark hair.

"Ya know I never thought I'd see the day," her mother whispered.

"Que dia?" Santana asked.

"When Santana Carlita Lopez got so damn whipped," she teased.

"Not true!" Santana squealed as she jumped away from her mother.

"Oh, it is so true!"

"Whatever! I'm going now," snapped.

"Whipped," her mother mouthed before Santana turned around and entered her room and she walked to the stairs laughing hysterically.

Santana was a bright shade of red when she entered the room. Her mother was so right. Brittany had her wrapped around her cute little finger, and she was okay with that, but there was still a certain amount of fear that Santana liked to be associated with. She just hoped that the fact that she secretly worshipped the ground Brittany walked on didn't interfere.

"Are we in trouble?" Brittany asked sheepishly. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Brit Brit everything's perfect," she smiled.

She walked over to the bed and picked up the stuffed panda that was laying on the edge. She grabbed Brittany's long arm, laid down, pulling Brit with her. She snuggled herself into Brittany until there was no room between Santana's back and her front then placed Brittany's arm around her waist. No one cared that it was only three o'clock they laid there until they fell asleep, Brittany holding Santana and Santana holding Brittany the panda bear.
