Santana carefully put her shoes on and started getting the things out of her car. She was thankful she didn't have a lot of heavy things.
"Mija do you need any help?" Carlos asked before leaving to go to the hospital for his shift.
"No Daddy, I don't have much to get out" Santana said as Carlos kissed her head hesitantly.
"Have a good day mija" He said as Santana smiled. It only took her fifteen minutes total to get everything out and into the spare room where her mom told her to put it for now.
She heard her phone beep and she had a text from Sam.
"Glad your back Santana, Brittany is on cloud 9 right now. She's skipping around and humming" Santana read as she smiled.
"I'm so glad to hear that. You better make sure my Britts stays happy when I'm not there trouty mouth lol" Santana texted back before texting Brittany.
"How is your day so far Britts?" She pressed send and started to get ready to go shopping. She heard her phone beep again and smiled seeing it was from Brittany.
"It's ok. I'd rather be going shopping with you" Santana read as she smiled.
"So I was thinking we could go to Breadstix tonight... Like as a date" Santana texted Brittany as Sam texted back.
"She's pretty happy right now" Sam texted as Brittany texted back quickly.
"I would love to as long as I get shrimp cocktail and maybe a bath with you afterwards" Santana read blushing a bit. She wasn't quite ready for Brittany to see her naked yet. She felt massive, she remembered her body before she had gotten pregnant and on the inside she wanted to cry.
"I can promise you that if you want it Britts" Santana texted back smiling hoping that maybe the bath could wait. Santana was still nervous about having Brittany seeing her pregnancy belly. She looked down at herself and sighed; her breasts were bigger, her stomach was obviously bigger, and she felt like her butt and thighs were bigger even though Charlotte had told her multiple times that she looked only pregnant from the front.
She didn't want Brittany to take one look at Santana's naked body and think it was gross or get so freaked out she'd leave. Santana got in her now empty car and drove to Target knowing they had cute maternity clothes and weren't very expensive. She walked past the juniors section that she used to get her tank tops from and to the maternity section.
"Santana?" She heard from behind her as she turned around seeing who called her name. It was Mercedes who was smiling widely walking to the girl.
"Oh my god girl, you're pregnant" Mercedes said hugging Santana tightly.
"Yep I'm 20 weeks tomorrow" Santana said returning the hug. She had missed her friend who she last saw the summer before they parted ways.
"Does Brittany know? Are you two getting back together?" Mercedes asked as Santana smiled nodding. Sam probably told her what had happened between the two girls.
"Britt knows and we're taking it slow" Santana said as Mercedes smiled widely.
"That's great. I'd love to stay and chat but I have to get back to my dad's office. I'm going to be in town for a couple weeks. Call me and we'll hang out sometime" Mercedes said hugging Santana one more time before walking away. Santana smiled to herself as Mercedes walked away. She had really missed her New Directions family. She walked over to the maternity clothes and started looking at different clothes. Her phone went off and she expected it to be Brittany but it was her dad.
"Hey can you come down to Dr. Walsh's office today at 4. She has an opening" Her dad had text her as Santana smiled. She knew that her dad had pulled some strings to get the soonest appointment as he always did for her, her mom, or Brittany.
"Yeah, I can be there at 4. I'll tell Britt now if you can text mom" Santana text back as she went back to looking at the first rack of clothes.
After looking at just about everything, Santana had a couple pairs of pants, a couple dresses, a few tops, and a pair of leggings. She paid and drove to the small hole in the wall Mexican food restaurant she and Brittany used to go to all the time. She ordered a cheese enchilada, 2 tacos, and beans each for her and Brittany. As Santana waited on the food, she text Brittany about the doctors appointment which got a very excited yes and she couldn't wait to see the baby. Santana couldn't wait either, the last time she saw the baby it still looked all alien like.
She smiled as she drove to McKinley and walked in the hall with the bag of food. "I brought us food. I'll meet you by your locker" she texted finding the locker and smiling. Her locker used to be right next to it and now someone else probably had it. The bell rang and Brittany skipped over with the brightest smile on her face.
"Sanny! Hi" Brittany said the excitement evident in her voice. She was so happy to see Santana standing at her locker waiting with their lunch.
"Hey Britts" Santana said as she kissed her cheek and handed her the bag with her food in it.
"Sanny, how did you know I was so hungry for this?" Brittany said happily as Santana took her hand and they walked down the hall towards the choir room.
"Well I was craving it and I figured since you loved it so much when we went there you would love it now" Santana said as they walked into the choir room and sat in their usual chairs in the back row.
"Britt, why are we eating in the choir room?" Santana asked as Brittany shrugged softly.
"I usually eat lunch in here. I really don't want to sit with people anymore. Blaine is all depressed, Sam is…. Well being Sam, everyone else is happy…. I just couldn't watch it" Brittany said opening her bag.
"Come on, I'll go sit with you in the cafeteria and you can be happy with everyone around. Plus my belly kind of makes it hard for me to eat without a table" Santana said almost laughing out but on the inside it had made her sad that Brittany had resorted to sitting in the choir room alone for lunch.
The two girls walked into the cafeteria and Santana almost had a flashback. Everything was entirely the same almost a year later, sure a year wasn't much time to pass but it was still strange. Never in her life did she imagine that she would be walking into the cafeteria 5 months pregnant with Brittany still attending as a student, the thought alone that Brittany was still a student here and that Santana had done nothing to help her the year before haunted Santana the entire time. She wanted to go back in time and do something to help the girl she loved but knew that wasn't possible. She spotted the Glee table and everyone looked up at the girls in complete shock except for Sam who was smiling and saving the two seats next to him.
"Hey everyone" Santana said smiling as she went along hugging Tina, Artie, Sam, Sugar, Blaine, and Joe.
"She's back!" Brittany said excitedly as she pulled the chair out for Santana to sit down and smiled as she sat next to her.
"Santana you're…pregnant?" Tina said shocked as everyone looked to each other not knowing what to really say. Obviously Brittany couldn't get her pregnant so she had to have sex with a man.
"Yeah, I'm 5 months along" Santana said as Brittany happily put her hand on Santana's baby bump rubbing it softly.
"The baby likes me. It kicks a lot when I talk to it" Brittany said as Santana nodded and kissed Brittany's cheek.
"Are you two back together?" Artie asked as Santana bit her lip and Brittany shrugged.
"Um… kinda… I mean were taking it slow and Santana asked me out on a date tonight but I really want to be back together because I love Santana and I love the baby" Brittany explained as Joe smiled.
"Well I offer my congratulations Santana. God has blessed you with a special gift of a child and it's righteous that Brittany is going to be in the baby's life" He said as Santana mouthed thank you to him. Santana and Brittany both opened their containers of food at the same time as Brittany sang a little song quietly about the baby liking tacos already. Nobody asked Santana how she became pregnant which she was thankful for. Everyone just thought that Santana would mention it if it had to be mentioned. Jake stood up and walked over to Santana with Marley on his arm.
"I know I didn't get to introduce myself last time you were here, I'm Jake Puckerman and this is my girlfriend Marley Rose" He said as Santana smiled.
"It's nice to meet you two. It's nice to see the Puckerman legacy live on" Santana said as she smiled warmly at Marley and kept her eyes on Jake. The two of them sat down as Sam smiled at Santana.
"Do you know what the baby is yet?" Sugar asked as Wade smiled with her probably at the prospect of a baby shower and shopping for one.
"I am going to find out today" Santana said as Brittany nodded excitedly. Santana could tell that Brittany was happy to have her back not only from the obvious excitement but the way they had gone back to touching each other so subtlety, almost like a silent communication of love.
"I think it's going to be a girl" Brittany said with a smile as Santana tried not to look like a pig while eating. She had really been craving cheese enchilada and didn't want it to seem like she was almost having a food orgasm as she ate.
"I think it would be cool if it were a boy… you know I could be its Uncle Sam and show it all kinds of superhero stuff and how to do impressions" Sam said as Santana smiled at him. She was grateful for Sam helping Brittany while she was gone.
"I actually don't care what it is. I just want the baby to be healthy" Santana said as Artie laughed.
"Santana you have to have a preference. I mean doesn't every parent. I know when Quinn was pregnant she always wanted a girl because if it was a boy it would turn out like Puck" He said as Tina laughed softly and Santana looked down. She had never really thought about if the baby looked like the guy who did this to her or if the baby would be like him. She felt a sick feeling in her stomach as she got up and ran to the bathroom quickly as Artie looked at Brittany.
"Was it something I said?" Artie asked innocently as the other members of the glee club looked confused on why Santana ran away.
"She was raped Artie and you just reminded her that this baby is a rape baby" Brittany said looking angry as she stood up and everyone looked shocked. They never imagined that was the reason that Santana got pregnant.
"Brittany, I didn't know…. I never thought what I said was offensive" Artie said genuinely feeling bad as Brittany ran after Santana.
Brittany walked into the bathroom looking under the stalls for Santana's shoes until reaching the last one and seeing the black flats she was wearing.
"Sanny are you ok?" Brittany asked not knowing what to do about the situation as the stall door opened and Santana let her in.
"I'm sorry Britt… I just… actually thought about it and it made me sick…. That the baby would be a part of the guy who raped me. I mean I've known all along but I think I just blocked it out and hoped the baby would be all me" Santana said trying to keep herself calm knowing if she got worked up she would end up throwing up again.
"The baby may look like him because he… put it in you but Santana the baby will never be like him. This baby is going to be raised by the greatest person I've ever met and will never ever have to know how it came to you, it will just know how you raised it to be a good person" Brittany said as Santana grabbed her and started to cry. Her hormones were going crazy and she felt so alone even though all of the people in her life were helping her out.
"I just want the baby to know that I loved it from the moment I heard its heartbeat. I was so scared but I knew in my heart that I loved this baby. I don't want it to regret anything like I do" Santana said as she cried and Brittany rubbed her back.
"You shouldn't regret anything, even if you feel like you should. You always told me that you should live with no regrets but you do. What do you regret?" Brittany said as Santana looked at her.
"I regret lying to you, I regret breaking up with you, I regret going to that damn party! I just want us to go back to how it was last year when everything was ok with us" Santana said as Brittany just held her close.
"Santana, we can't go back in time. Believe me if we could I would've not failed our senior year. I wouldn't have wasted my time with Artie but we can't. We have to move forward… no regrets" Brittany said as Santana kissed her cheek.
"When did you get so smart?" Santana asked with a proud smile as Brittany smiled even bigger back.
"I love you Santana" Brittany said as Santana held on to her tightly.
"I love you too Brittany" Santana said happily as she walked out to the sinks and got a paper towel wiping her mouth off and looking in the mirror.
"I look like I've been throwing up" Santana said with a sigh as she tried to make herself look better than she did.
"Well you have been throwing up so I mean it's kind of obvious" Brittany said standing next to her. Once Santana was convinced she looked better, she and Brittany walked into the hall and saw that lunch was almost over. They heard a commotion around the corner and Santana looked at Brittany strangely.
"Listen here charity case! You and your fat assed ugly mama better leave this school pronto or else I'll make your life so miserable, you'll be begging to move to Libya" Kitty spat out as Brittany and Santana came around the corner. Marley was pushed against a locker looking more scared than anything and Kitty had a familiar look that Santana knew all too well.
"Leave her alone!" Santana called out as Kitty turned to face them.
"Oh look it's the lesbians… oh and they are bringing a bastard child into the world, kid will probably be the antichrist or something" Kitty said Santana looked like she was going to pounce on Kitty and break every bone in her body.
"Kitty, Santana and I aren't having the antichrist… our baby's name isn't going to be Nicolae Carpathia or Obama so that's like impossible and what does it matter to you what we do?" Brittany said as Santana smiled. Brittany had called the baby their baby… her heart swelled with pride that Brittany was protecting them.
"Still, I bet it will be because you two are lesbians…" Kitty said annoyed as Santana heard a cough behind her and saw someone she knew who could set kitty in her place, Quinn Fabray.
