A/N: I do not own Glee or its characters in any way. Unbeta'd.
Santana awoke in a cold sweat. Rachel remained peacefully asleep curled up against her side. The sight alone was enough to calm her racing heart down a tad, but nope. She was still internally freaking out. Last night had been great, really great but there was something nagging her. She hadn't used a condom…shit.
How could I have forgotten that? Damn it, I'm not ready for pups. I'm such an idiot, it literally only takes two seconds to roll the damn thing on!
Unbeknownst to her, Rachel could her tensing up beside her. Something seemed off with her girlfriend. She watched as Santana's expression, oblivious to being observed, morphed from distress to determination. Okay now she's confused. Was the other girl…regretting it? Had she not been good enough? Was she going to break up with her because of her dissatisfaction? Her own panic was beginning to set in.
"Santana?" Rachel called her name so softly she almost missed it. Santana hadn't realized she had been awake. "Although I find your reasons to do so quite shallow, I understand. Please allow me ten minutes to properly dress and gather my things." Rachel stood trying to will away her tears and covered herself with one of the bed sheets.
"Rachel, what are you doing?" Now Santana was confused. Why was her girlfriend getting ready to leave? She watched as the other girl hastily attempted to find her discarded clothes from last night. "Babe, I think you have my shirt. Not that I'm complaining because I love seeing you in my clothes."
Smack
"What the hell, Berry?!" Rachel had thrown her shirt at her face. That shit hurt, man. Santana swore Rachel would've been the best pitcher had she played softball at school. Still could someone please explain why her girlfriend was mad…and crying?
"Oh, we're back to Berry now? How could you!" Now Rachel was hurt and pissed. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU." How could Santana treat her like this, she loved her!
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Then it became clear to her (at least she thought it did). Don't pregnant women usually have their hormones all over the place? Was Rachel mad about being pregnant? Is she hurting the baby right now with their argument?!
In hindsight, both girls should've realized their reactions were a bit over the top. They only had sex hours ago; Rachel couldn't be experiencing symptoms so early. If she was pregnant at all, that is. Nevertheless, the mere thought of her pups, their pups, in any kind of danger was enough to send Santana into panic.
"Babe, calm down please. You're going to-"
"I am most definitely not going to calm down. I have every right to be angry with you!"
"Rach, you're going to hurt the baby!"
There was a moment of complete silence. Did Santana just say baby?
"I'm such an idiot for not using protection. I promise that you won't have to do this alone. I'll get a job or something. I'm so sorry, Rach. I should've been more careful, but we can do this babe. I'll be with you at all your doctor's appointments, I'll run to the store at 3 am to get your weird cravings but um I'd rather not though. But not because I don't love you, I mean come on, who goes shopping at three in-" Santana's rant is interrupted by the sound of Rachel's laughter.
"Wow, rude much?" Santana huffed. Why was she laughing? Having a baby is serious shit, like what if Rachel has complications of something? Damn it, she was already being negative.
"Honey, I'm not pregnant." Rachel was amused. Where did that even come from, it was way too early for that assumption. It wasn't even likely considering she was on birth control.
"What? B-but you were all mad. I thought it was because it I didn't use protection last night!"
"I'm on the pill, San. I thought…you were breaking up with me. I woke up because I felt you tense up, and I just assumed that…that you were regretting what happened." Rachel looked at Santana who held a blank expression.
Santana felt a twinge of disappointment but she pushed it aside. She was only seventeen, having pups was way out of the question. Instead she wrapped her arms around her mate. "Rach, I would never do that. I love you and nothing could make me regret last night. It was perfect."
Rachel smiled into Santana's embrace. "I'm sorry. I should've know you weren't that shallow."
"Hey, I'm not shallow at all." S
"Just a tad."
"Whatever," Santana grumbled. "Breakfast?"
"That sounds lovely."
Santana and Rachel sat across from each other. The Latina's parents had already left for work, so it was just the two of them.
"You know…I meant what I said." Santana spoke softly while she sipped the vegan breakfast shake Rachel had prepared.
"I would have done all those things if you were pregnant." Santana blushed. Was it too early for this kind of discussion? They were barely beginning their senior year, but Santana loved Rachel without a doubt and couldn't imagine a future without her.
Rachel's voice was equally as soft, which said a lot given this was Rachel. "I know, San. I never doubt you wouldn't. I look forward to that in the future." Rachel smiled when she saw Santana's head perk up.
"Future?" Santana's eyes glimmered with hope mirroring Rachel's." The corners of her lips quirked up slowly forming one of the most loving smiles Rachel had ever seen on the girl's face.
Santana reached over to clasp Rachel's hand in hers. "I'm looking forward to it, Rachel."
Rachel returned the smile with equal love. "I am as well, Santana."
"You're still shallow, though."
"Now who's ruining the moment?"
A/N: And that's the end! Once again I apologize for the terrible lack of an update. I do hope you enjoyed this story though. Some of you probably think I wrapped it up (wanky) hastily, but I don't want to continue it and not update it as often as I'd like. I know how frustrating it is when you're dying for an update and it doesn't come, so I don't wanna do that to you guys. Especially since classes start up real soon. I appreciate all of you too much for that especially those who reviewed, favorited, and placed this story under their alerts. Most of all thank you for even taking the time to read this! It's technically my second fic, but it's my first complete one and it has over 100 reviews? THANKS!
Okay I know this is getting long, but I plan on doing a sequel or maybe one-shots [most likely since it's less time consuming] in this universe for those who would like to read more. I know a lot of you wanted pezberry pups, haha so be on the look out! I honeslty have no idea regarding the updating, if any, on my first pezberry story. I kinda want to try my hand at Brittana too because it's my otp, but I just LOVE the pezberry ship too much whoops! I just have no idea when I'll find the time to.
I READ ALL OF YOUR REVIEWS AND I APPRECIATED ALL OF THEM! I LOVED WRITING THIS SO THANKS ONCE AGAIN! p.s. Santana may be a big bad werewolf but santana with glasses is too adorable to pass up. ;) & i'll be sure to look that up for future reference :)
