Chapter 6
"Remind me again Britt why we didn't just give both of the boys' motion sickness medicine to be on the safe side?" Santana and Brittany were walking out of a restroom at the airport in Buffalo, New York. There plane from Boston had just landed a few minutes earlier.
"Jay is usually the one who gets car sick so we thought he'd be the one who would most likely to get airsick too. Turns out we were wrong and Jack is the one who got airsick. Live and learn I guess." Brittany shrugged her shoulders after she spoke.
"Yeah, he got airsick all over me! I want to know who the hell thinks those little airsick bags are big enough for anyone to vomit into! And why do both of our kids always wait until the last minute to tell us they are going to vomit. Jack only got out 'I'm going to…' and then he vomited all over my jeans and sneakers, my new sneakers I bought just for this trip and now they are ruined. And what do you mean by 'live and learn'?" Santana scowled at her wife.
Brittany rolled her eyes at Santana because she could be such a drama queen sometimes. They both had been vomited on, peed on, and pooped on more times than they can count but by the way Santana was carrying on you'd think she hadn't help raised two boys under the age of 6.
"You'll live. You can buy new sneakers and I didn't really like those jeans you were wearing anyway. (Brittany leaned in and whispered in Santana's ear) They didn't hug that perfect ass of yours tightly enough for my liking." Brittany gave Santana a quick pat on her butt. When they had gotten off the plane and found their luggage Santana changed into a pair of different jeans and put on a pair of sandals.
"Well, it's a good thing those jeans are now in the garbage then." Santana gave Brittany a quick kiss on the lips. "But I'm bummed I had to throw out my new sneakers too. Do you know how long it took me to find those perfect pair of sneakers?" Santana grumbled as they walked hand in hand through the airport.
"Believe me I know how long it took you to find those perfect pair of sneakers because in case you have forgotten I was with you when you spent two whole hours trying on sneakers. All I heard was this pair is too tight, this pair isn't cushiony enough, this pair makes my feet look huge, this pair doesn't support my arch, this pair Is too wide, this pair looks like something a ten year old would wear, this pair looks like something a grandmother would wear…" Brittany's rant was cut off by Santana kissing her.
"Ok, I get it I took a long time to pick out my sneakers. I promise when we go shopping to buy new ones I won't take as long."
"Oh no that is one memory I don't plan on reliving. You can go shopping on your own or take your mother with you. I'm not going."
"Fine." Santana pouted.
"Let's just go find our sons and parents so we can get our luggage in the rental van and drive to the hotel in Niagara Falls. Aren't you getting excited to go back to place where we fell in love? I can't wait to see the falls again." Brittany squeezed Santana's hand and Santana squeezed her back.
Santana's mood quickly changed when she saw the excitement in Brittany's eyes when she mentioned the falls. "I can't wait to be back at the falls too babe because my life totally changed when I meant you there. I love you Britt." Santana kissed Brittany gently on the lips.
"I love you too San."
"Momma, Mami!" Santana and Brittany looked towards the airport exit doors and saw Jay jumping up and down trying to get their attention while holding Susan's hand. Jack stood there quietly with his head down holding onto Maribel's hand.
When Santana and Brittany got close to them Jay ran over to his mothers and hugged both of their legs. "Buelo and Grandpa have a big blue van! I wanna ride in it!" Jay was jumping up and down so excited about the van. Brittany finally picked him up.
"Carlos and David got the rental van and the luggage is all loaded they are waiting for us in the parking lot." Maribel said as she nodded her head towards Jack who was still standing there quietly looking down at the floor. Santana knew what was wrong and she knew she had to fix it right now.
Santana kneeled down so she was eye level with Jack and she put her hand under his chin and gently raised his head so she could look him in the eye. His eyes were all red from crying and it broke her heart because she knew she was partly the cause of it.
"Hey buddy, are you feeling better?" Jack nodded his head yes. "I'm so happy you're feeling better it makes me sad when you, Jay, or Momma don't feel well. I know getting sick like that on the plane was scary for you. I also know you are sad right now because you think I'm mad at you for throwing up on me. I could never be mad at you for something you couldn't stop from happening. Once that tummy of yours decides it's not happy you can't stop it. When you threw up on me I know I yelled and you thought I was mad at you but I wasn't mad at you, I was scared like you because we were on a plane and I didn't know what to do. Lucky for both of us your Momma was there and she knew exactly what to do."
"I heard you tell Momma you loved your sneakers so you must hate me cause I ruined them." Jack eyes were just about to overflow with tears.
Santana pulled Jack into a tight hug, "Oh sweetie, you are so much more important to me than those stupid sneakers. I can replace my sneakers but there's only one Jackson David Pierce-Lopez. I love you Jack and nothing will ever make me stop loving you." Santana kissed Jack's cheek.
Jack hugged Santana, "I love you Mami."
Santana wiped Jack's tears from face with her hands. "How about we go check out this awesome van Abuelo and Grandpa picked out for us?"
"Ok, Mami can I sit by you in the van?" Jack asked quietly. He was so much like Santana when he got upset because they both take it hard when they think someone they love is upset with them.
"Of course you can sit by me Jack." Santana stood up and for the first time since she knelt down to talk to Jack she looked at Brittany, Maribel, and Susan. They all stood teary eyed which confused Santana. "What's wrong why is everyone crying? Did I miss something?"
Brittany, who was still holding Jay, put her free arm around Santana and kissed her. "You are such a fantastic mother to our children and it's such a natural thing for you that you don't even realize when you're doing you're doing it." Santana didn't know what to say because Brittany's comment caught her off guard and it made it want to just hug Brittany and never let go but they were in the airport.
"Jack when we get in the van I'll tell you about the time your Mami was six years old and she vomited all over my new dress when we were in the car going to wedding." Maribel took a hold Jack's hand.
"Mami, please don't tell that story. I couldn't help it I had appendicitis it wasn't my fault." Santana whined as she took a hold Brittany's hand as they all walked out of the airport to go to the van.
"Just like it wasn't Jack's fault he got airsick and vomited all over you." Maribel smiled down at Jack and winked at him.
"Momma the van!" Jay yelled in Brittany's ear.
There in the parking lot stood Carlos and David with huge smiles on their faces. "How many people will this van hold?" Brittany couldn't help but laugh at the huge van.
"Fifteen people." Carlos said proudly.
"There are only eight of us couldn't you have gotten something smaller? Why do men always think bigger is better? "Santana asked laughing and shaking her head while Maribel slapped her softly on the back of the head but hard enough to get Santana's attention. "Ow, what was that for?"
"You know darn well what it was for. That mouth of yours and making an inappropriate comment. I raised you to act like a young lady not a sailor." Maribel said in her best motherly voice. Santana scowled and pouted at the same time while Brittany just giggled.
"If must know Santana your father and decided to get a bigger van because we knew you ladies would have enough luggage to fill up the rest of the van." David stated.
"Like the two golf bags you gentlemen brought aren't taking up any space." Susan teased back.
"Let's just get to Niagara Falls and the hotel. There's an outlet mall near the hotel and I'd like to get my new sneakers before they close." Santana spoke as she buckled Jack into his car booster seat.
"Mami, can I help you pick out your new sneakers?" Jack asked. Santana knew he wanted to be close to her because he still felt bad for vomiting all over her. If she were honest she wanted to be close to him too because she knew he was sad and she wanted to make him happy again.
Santana smiled at Jack. "I would love it if you helped me pick out my new sneakers."

"Hurry up and open the door Mami!" Jack was jumping up and down while Santana fumbled with the hotel room key. She had two huge bags from the shoe store she was trying to juggle at the same time. Finally the green light lit on the door lock and Jack opened the door.
Jack ran into the hotel room shouting "Kowabunga dude!" while kicking his feet in the air showing off his best karate moves.
"Jack please be quiet your brother is taking a nap." Brittany came out from the bathroom in just a robe having just got out of the shower.
Jack looked at his mother, "I'm sorry Momma I just couldn't help it my new sneakers made me do it. They have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle powers. Look at the awesome sneakers Mami bought me and we got a pair for Jay too only his have Velcro since he can't tie his shoes yet." The sneakers had Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on them and they were pretty awesome looking.
Brittany couldn't help but smile at her oldest son. He had been so sad on the ride to the hotel and he didn't even get excited when they arrived in Niagara Falls. He had been so excited about the trip since the day they had gotten their passport pictures taken but when they had arrived at the hotel he barely smiled at all.
Santana walked into the hotel room with her two bags and when she saw Brittany standing there in just a hotel robe it flooded her mind of the memories of when they met at Niagara Falls. She put her bags on the floor and pulled Brittany into a hug and started kissing her. Their kissing was starting to involve tongues when… "Momma, Mami look!"
Jay came running into the room with his new sneakers on followed by Jack who didn't dare look at his Momma. "I didn't wake him up. He was already awake." Jack finally looked at Brittany and she winked at him to let him know it was ok that he had woken up his brother.
"Watch me Jay you've got to do this, Kowabunga Dude." Jack kicked his legs in the air and did karate chops with his hands. Jay giggled of course joined in and soon they both were shouting and kicking their legs in the air.
Santana sat down on the bed and watched their two sons. Brittany sat down beside her and laid her head on her shoulder. "How did we get so lucky?" Brittany asked.
Santana turned and looked at Brittany. "I asked myself that every day, how did I get so lucky to have the most amazing wife and the two most special little boys in the world." Santana leaned and kissed Brittany.
"And to think it all started right here because we both got dumped before our weddings. It had to be fate." Brittany kissed Santana on her neck which she knew would send a tingle throughout Santana's body.
"Mami, show Momma her surprise!" Jack said as he ran over to his mothers.
Santana picked up the two bags. "Well, you will be relieved to know that I was able to find the exact pair of sneakers that I had to throw away, and I think this pair even feels better on my feet." Santana smiled at Jack and he smiled back.
Brittany laughed, "I'm so happy you were able to find the exact same sneakers because I wasn't looking forward to a trip where all I heard was your whining about those sneakers."
"Well, there's more great news. They were on sale by one pair get 50% of the second pair so I bought two pairs. A pair and spare." Santana's eyes danced with excitement.
"That's great so now if something happens to one pair then you have spare, smart thinking." Brittany couldn't help but laugh at her wife's excitement.
"Hold on I'm not done yet. I thought to myself this is just too good of deal to pass up so I bought you a pair and a spare too!" Santana said the last part really fast in all of her excitement.
"Surprise Momma!" Jack shouted.
"Thanks for thinking of me you two." Brittany just hoped these sneakers were as amazingly comfortable as Santana claimed.
"I sense you are doubting the power of these sneakers." Santana wiggled her eye brows at Brittany. Brittany had no idea how Santana knew what she was thinking but it been that way since they met.
Santana took a box out of the one the bags and took the pair of sneakers out of the box. She knelt down and put the sneakers on Brittany's feet. "Walk for me pretty lady." Santana said as she stood up.
Brittany got up from the bed and walked around the room. She had to admit to herself they were the most comfortable sneakers she had ever worn. "I don't know San, I'd give them a 6 out of 10." Brittany teased.
Santana looked shocked, "A 6 out of 10! Don't your feet feel like they are walking on a cloud?"
"I don't know I've never actually walked on a cloud before and if I did I think I would probably fall right through." Brittany was trying to hold back her laughter but Santana saw right through it.
Santana got close to Brittany's ear so the boys wouldn't hear her. "If you don't tell me the truth about the sneakers you will not be touching any part of my body with any part of your body during our trip."
Brittany swallowed hard and felt herself getting aroused from Santana's words. "These are the best sneakers ever! There are you happy now. I bow down to your superior skill for picking out sneakers, even if it took you two hours." Santana laughed as she kissed Brittany as the boys continued to do their best karate moves around the hotel room. They hoped the boys would soon tire themselves out so they would all get a good night's sleep.

"Do you think our parents suspected anything when we asked them if they could take the boys' to breakfast while we stayed in the room?" Brittany sat on the edge of their hotel bed with both of her knees bouncing up and down.
"No, they probably just thought we wanted to spend some alone time." Santana, who was sitting next to Brittany, took her hand and intertwined their fingers. Brittany's knees stopped bouncing as she calmed down.
"Why did do this right before our trip? We should've waited until after the trip." Brittany was wondering if they had done right thing.
"The time was exactly right before the trip and we decided it was best not to wait until after the trip. Everything is going to be ok Britt." Brittany jumped when the timer went off. Santana looked at Brittany and without saying a word reached over and pick something up from the nightstand. "We both are going to look together. I love you Britt."
"I love you too so very much." Brittany grabbed Santana's right hand.
"Ready. One, two, three." Santana held out the object that was in her left hand. They both stared at it for a few seconds like they were making sure they were really seeing what they were seeing. Santana was the first to look away from the object and look at Brittany. "We're pregnant."
Brittany looked at Santana and she was speechless at first. "We're having a baby."
They both looked at the digital pregnancy test Santana was still holding. The word 'Pregnant' was showing on the little display window. Santana laid the pregnancy test down on the bed and engulfed Brittany in a hug as they both cried tears of happiness. When they pulled away Santana had the biggest smile on her face, "I can't believe you got pregnant on the first try again. The doctor gave us that speech about it probably wouldn't happen on the first try like it did with Jay and I had prepared myself for the test being negative. I should've never doubted your superior fertility."
Brittany smacked Santana on the arm, "I don't have superior fertility. It was just meant to be. This little one growing inside me was meant to be. I love our boys so much. I would really like to have a girl this time."
"Having a girl would be amazing but a boy would be just as amazing." Santana sniffled as tears continued to fall.
"What are we going to do about our parents? I mean we are going to be with them every day for the next week and you know how we can't hide anything from our mothers. It's like they are like blood hounds when comes to us hiding something from them. I'd like to tell them." Brittany kissed Santana's hand that she was now holding.
"Britt, I think we should tell them now. I know before we didn't tell them until we had the doctor's confirmation we were pregnant but today was the day we could take the test and the digital tests are 99.9% accurate. We have two other tests if you'd like to wait and take them too to make sure."
"I know I'm pregnant the test is right. I can just feel it beside my boobs have been achy for the past two days. Remember how achy they got before." Brittany scrunched up her face because she remembered how uncomfortable she was before.
"I remember and just like before I'll massage them gently whenever you want me to." Santana leaned in so their noses were touching.
Brittany remembered how great Santana was at taking care of her when she was pregnant with Jay. "I know you will and I'm sure I'm going to need lots of massages." Brittany kissed Santana and soon they were laying on the bed facing each other enjoying their make out session.
Santana pulled away and looked into Brittany's eyes. "I love you and the boys more than I thought it could ever be possible love another person. And I love this little one already." Santana put her hand on Brittany's belly.
Brittany found herself speechless so she just looked into Santana's eyes and the look told Santana everything Brittany couldn't put into words.
