Hey guys...sorry I haven't updated in so long. It's my senior year in high school and I've been busy with college applications, financial aid, and passing the first semester. But now that that's all over, I'll be updating this story more. I hope you guys like it :)
"I...I died?"
Santana took a deep breath, deciding on how she should explain this to her wife.
"Yes...you died… You were actually just about to die out on the street right now, but...we saved you just in time."
"Wait, wait….out there?" Brittany pointed out the window. "When I was crossing the street?"
"Yeah...There was a car coming and I guess you didn't see it. When we got to the hospital, you were injured so badly...It's a miracle you stayed alive as long as you did. The doctors said you should have died on impact just because of how fast the car was going," Santana explained.
"So...what-how long has it been...in your time since I died?"
"About three months," Santana answered, but then realized how bad that must have sounded. "I mean, we would have come sooner, I just...I didn't know about the time machine...I mean, I sort of knew but I didn't know that it actually worked...Until I caught Sugar using it," she looked at her daughter.
Sugar held her hands up. "Don't put the blame on me, okay? I didn't know you would want to use it for this."
"Hey, it's fine. I'm just glad you guys came back at all," Brittany interjected.
"Of course we came back, babe. You're our family. We missed you too much," Santana reassured her as she got up and gave her a hug.
Sugar smiled as she watched her two moms reconnect after being apart for so long- well, just Santana. Brittany had seen her wife just this morning.
A thought popped into Sugar's mind. This is weird. Mom isn't the Mom from this time and Momma is from this time...but...I don't know. This is weird. Is this considered cheating for Momma?...Technically it isn't because it's still Mom, but it's Mom from another time. This is so strange...
"Sugar?"
"Hm? What?" Sugar was brought back from her thoughts.
"What were you thinking about?"
"Uh...nothing. It's not important," Sugar answered.
"Okay, well, I think we should be getting back to our own time," Santana said, turning to Brittany. "And you should be getting back home. I'm sure we're both very worried about you."
Brittany grinned and turned to walk out the building, waving goodbye as she left. "See you guys later."
Santana just smiled to herself as she watched her wife walk out the door. "I'm so glad we were able to save her."
Sugar simply nodded. Pretty happy about the whole thing as well.
"Let's go home," Santana said with a sigh as she stepped into the time machine.
When the two girls got back home, the house seemed very quiet. Both of them walked into the living room only to find that no one was there, it seemed more quiet than usual.
"What time is it?" Santana asked as she got a pudding cup out of the fridge.
"It's like two in the morning," Sugar said as she looked at the clock. Then she looked at the date. "Holy shit…."
"Sugar! No curse words in this house!" Santana scolded.
"But Mom! When we left, it was Friday the 15th of May, right?"
"Yeah. And?"
"Today's Monday the 29th...of June," Sugar said quietly.
Santana's eyes widened as she shook her head. "Oh no."
"Oh yeah," Sugar nodded. "That means we've been gone for like over a month!"
"But we were only gone for about two hours! How did this-"
"Why is there so much yelling going on?" Brittany interrupted.
Both girls jumped and stood still, not expecting to hear Brittany's voice.
"Oh my god…" Brittany held her hand up to her mouth. "You guys are home!" she exclaimed as she brought them both in for a group hug. "Where have you guys been? I've been worried sick!"
After they all backed away from the group hug, Sugar and Santana just stared at each other, not sure of what they could or couldn't tell her.
Brittany noticed the tension and spoke up. "I know you guys came back to save me. You told me yourselves, remember?"
Santana breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god. I didn't know if we were allowed to tell you or not. I have no idea how this time traveling thing works."
Brittany just laughed and gave Santana a kiss on the cheek. "It's okay, babe. I'm still working out the kinks too."
Santana smiled and looked lovingly at her wife. I am so lucky to have her. I'm so glad that she's back.
"Okay ew. I'm going to my room while you guys make lovey dovey faces at each other," Sugar said in disgust as she walked upstairs to her room.
Her moms just laughed and waved her away, too happy and content that things worked out the way they did.
Once Sugar was gone, Santana remembered something. "Hey, Britt?"
"Yeah, babe?"
Santana turned her head towards the staircase to make sure that Sugar had gone into her room.
"Are you um…" Santana began to wring her hands. "Do you remember that fight we had on the morning of the accident?"
Santana held out her hand, motioning for Brittany to stop, and backed away. "Brittany...have you been seeing someone else?"
"What the hell? You really think I've been cheating on you?" Brittany questioned, upset that Santana would ever think that.
"Well have you?" Santana asked again.
"No! Santana, I would never, ever cheat on you. You know that."
"Then what is it?! Why can't you tell me what you've been doing?!" Santana asked, now angry that her own wife wouldn't tell her anything.
"I can't tell you...I'm sorry," Brittany answered.
Santana just stood there and stared at her in disbelief. After a few moments, she finally broke the silence.
"I have to go to work," Santana said as she grabbed her things and walked out the bedroom door.
"Yes," Brittany answered.
Santana took note of the look of sadness that flashed across her wife's face.
"Do you think...Are you still not going to tell me? About what you've been doing?" Santana asked.
"Santana…" Brittana started and looked down at her feet.
"Brittany, please. I know you're not cheating on me. I know you would never do that...but I just can't help but thinking of the worst and I need you to tell me...or at least assure me that it's nothing bad...Please," Santana begged.
Brittany nodded. "I promise you it's nothing bad, San. I pinkie promise," Brittany smiled as she brought up her pinkie to link with Santana's.
Santana smiled back and linked her pinkie with the blonde's. "Okay, Britt. I believe you."
Both women hugged and just held each other for a few moments.
Brittany spoke up, breaking the silence. "What do you say you and I go up to bed and 'catch up' on things? How does that sound?" the taller girl said, wiggling her eyebrows.
Santana giggled. "I would love to 'catch up' with you, babe."
Both girls laughed and hurried upstairs to finally be with each other after being apart for what felt like a lifetime. Things were seeming to go back to normal. But little did they know, things were about to get a whole lot more complicated.
