Chapter 1 – We meet again

Santana is sleeping peacefully, snuggled with her fluffy pillow when a loud noise makes her jump out of bed and, consequently, falling on her butt on the carpeted floor. She grunts in irritation, realizing that the loud noise is in fact her phone. She gets up from the floor, rubbing her sore butt as she does so, and picks up her phone. "Hello?" She asks in an angry tone.

"Santana Marie Lopez, don't talk to me in that tone." Her mother's voice sounds through the phone and she sighs loudly.

"Mom, you know I get grumpy when someone wakes me up." Santana says tiredly as she walks towards her kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee, knowing that she won't be able to get back to bed and she needs to be fully awake to talk to her mother and then go to work.

"How was I supposed to know that you were still sleeping?" Her mother asks pointedly.

"Mom you called me at…" She looks at the clock on the microwave and her eyes widen. "You called me at 6:30 in the morning?!" Santana says loudly.

"It's 6:30? I thought it was 7:30. I guess my vision isn't what it was anymore." Maribel Lopez says simply and Santana rolls her eyes as she pours herself a cup of coffee.

"I advise you to buy some glasses before calling me again at ungodly hours, mom." Santana says a little grumpy.

"Stop being so dramatic Santana Lopez." Her mother chastises her daughter. "Anyway, I was calling to know if you already packed."

"Yes mom, I already packed." Santana says to her mother on the phone as she rolls her eyes and takes a sip from her coffee.

"Good. Did you book your flight?" Her mother asks her.

"Yes mom. You made me book it the last time you called, which was just two days ago." Santana says pointedly but a smile can be seen on her face.

"Honey, you can't blame me for want you here as soon as possible. I haven't seen you in almost four months. Your father and I miss you." Santana smiles at this and now more awake due to the coffee.

"I miss you guys too mom. And don't worry I'm going to get out of work early and I'll be there tonight, so tell dad to don't forget to pick me up from the airport." Santana says as she puts her empty cup of coffee in the sink.

"Okay sweety. I can't wait to see you." Maribel says sweetly.

"Me too. I'll see you later. Bye mom." Santana says smiling.

"Bye mi hija. I love you."

"I love you too." And with this Santana hangs up the phone and walks towards her bedroom to prepare herself for another day of work.


As she walks through the gates and towards the entrance of the airport she notices almost instantly her father's figure. She smiles happily and walks at a fast pace towards him. She puts her bags on the ground and hugs her dad tightly. Miguel Lopez, a really good looking man with his bright brown eyes and pearly white teeth, in his 40s, works as a doctor in the hospital of Lima, Ohio.

"I missed you honey." Miguel says to his daughter as he plants a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I missed you too dad." Santana says sincerely as she pulls away and smiles at her father. "Where's mom?"

"She stayed at home to prepare dinner. She's making your favorite." Miguel informs her daughter. "But don't tell her I told you this. She wanted it to be a surprise." He adds.

"Don't worry dad. Your secret is safe with me." Santana says in a joking tone and they both burst out laughing as they walk towards the car.

When they arrive home, a few minutes later, Santana gets pulled to a bone crushing hug as soon as she steps through the front door.

"Mom… can't… breathe." Santana manages to get out as she gasps for air.

Her mother loosens her grip a little but doesn't let go of her daughter. "I missed you so much mi hija."

"I missed you too mom." Santana says as she pulls away from the hug and sees a little tear fall down her mother's eyes. "Mom, why are you crying?" She asks softly as she wipes her mother's tear away.

"I'm just happy to see you." Santana smiles at this and gives her mother a soft kiss on the cheek. "It's been too long since I've seen you. You have to visit more often."

"I know mom. It's just that work has been a pain in the ass lately and I haven't had time for anything else." Santana explains apologetically.

"You can't work so hard honey. It's bad for your health. You should take a break." Maribel says seriously and Santana knows her mother is right. She's been working non-stop since she took that one week vacation and that was only three months ago. She really needs another mini vacation.

"I'll talk to my boss about it mom." Santana says and her mom smiles satisfied. "So what's for dinner? I'm starving." She says as she walks towards the kitchen and the lovely smell of food invades her nostrils.

"Not so fast young lady." Maribel says as she walks towards her daughter and slaps her hand away from the pot. "Go sit with your dad in the living room. Dinner is almost ready." Santana huffs but does as she's told and goes sit beside her dad on the couch, waiting for the delicious meal to be ready.

When the food is ready everyone joins at the table and Santana is the first one to dig in. She eats like there's no tomorrow and, before she knows it, her plate is empty and she walks towards the pot again to have some more of her mother's tasty food.

"Slow down or you're going to choke on your food." Miguel says smiling as he watches his daughter stuff food into her mouth.

"Bu thi so goo." Santana lets out as she takes her fork full of food into her mouth. Miguel chuckles at his daughter's antics and puffy cheeks.

"I don't know where you stuff all the food you eat. I guess you inherited your father's stomach." Maribel says in a joking manner.

"Hey!" Miguel protested but soon a smile appears on his face when his wife gives him a sweet kiss.

"Oh I almost forgot. Your brother is gonna spend the weekend here too. He arrives tomorrow morning." Maribel says happily. She doesn't see her kids often, due to their work and stuff, so it's normal for her to be ecstatic right now, knowing that she's going to have the family reunited this weekend.

Santana swallows the food in her mouth and then smiles excited. "Jason is coming? That's so awesome. I haven't seen him in three months. That's too long. I miss my big bro." Santana and Jason have always been very close since they were little. When they needed something, an advice, a shoulder to cry, they always went to one another.

"Oh and he's bringing his girlfriend." Maribel says, excited with the fact that his son has never brought a girl home to meet them and now she's finally gonna meet one.

"What?" Santana asks a little surprised but at the same time happy for her brother. "A girlfriend? My brother is finally growing up." She says in a teasing tone. "But I have to talk to the girl. If their relationship is serious she has to now Jason's embarrassing stories. I've waited for this moment for so long." She says jokingly but a little mischievous is noticeable in her voice.

"Santana don't embarrass your brother. This is the first girlfriend he brings home, so this girl must be special for him. So be nice and support your brother." Maribel says in a stern voice.

"I was only joking mom." Santana says calmly but then a smirk appears on her face. "But you definitely have to show the girl Jason's baby pictures." Maribel laughs at her daughter but nods her head in agreement.


The next day Santana is woken up from her peaceful slumber by her mother's excited voice sounding through the house. She groans in frustration at looking at the clock in her bedside table that reads 7:00 a.m. She buries her head in her pillow, seeing that is too early for her to be up yet, and tries to block out her mother's voice. But her attempt at falling asleep fails miserably when her mother decides to burst into her room and open the curtains. Suddenly brightness fills the room and Santana buries her head even further into her fluffy pillow, if that's even possible.

"Come on sleepy head, wake up." Maribel says to her daughter in a chipper voice as she shakes Santana's body slowly. "Your brother will be here in thirty minutes."

"It's too early mom." Santana groans into the pillow. When she doesn't hear any response she assumes her mother left and finally accepted defeat, but, of course, her assumptions were wrong. Maribel takes the covers from Santana and instantly goose bumps form on the Latina's skin. "Mom! It's cold." She whines as she looks up and tries to take the covers back from her mother's hands.

"No. Get up and get ready. I'll expect you to be downstairs in thirty minutes." Maribel says firmly and with one last stern look at her daughter she walks out of the room. Santana huffs in annoyance but gets up, knowing full well what Maribel Lopez is capable of doing if she isn't ready on time.

She takes a quick shower and then walks to her room to find something to wear. She finally settles for some denim shorts and white t-shirt that show her amazing body. She blow dries her hair and decides to leave it loose. She applies some light makeup and when she's just about done she hears her mother calling her from downstairs.

As she descends the stairs she sees her brother's figure standing at the front door with his mother's arms around his well-structured frame. She smiles happily and runs down the stairs as fast as she can. Maribel disentangles herself from her son when she hears footsteps behind her. Santana engulfs her brother in a bone crushing hug and Jason plants a sweet kiss on his sister's forehead.

"I missed you too San." Jason says smiling down at Santana.

Santana pulls away from the hug and smiles at her brother. "Who says I missed you?" She asks jokingly and her brother gives her a playful shove and pouts at her. "Of course I missed you." She confesses quietly, not being the one to be all sentimental, but she and her brother have always been like this since she can remember. "So where's that girlfriend of yours? Or were you just lying to make me think that you were actually growing up?" She teases him and he shakes his head at his sister's antics.

"She was just calling her mom. I'm gonna see if she's…" He trails off as he turns around and sees his beautiful girlfriend walking towards him. "Oh here she is." He says happily and Santana smiles contentedly at seeing his brother like this. "Santana this is Brittany, my beautiful girlfriend, and Brittany this is my awesome, but sometimes annoying, sister Santana." As Santana turns to look at the girl beside her brother her whole body freezes. She can't believe this is happening, neither one of them want to believe in this. At first Santana thinks it's a dream, but when her eyes lock with those bright blue eyes, she knows. This girl, standing in front of her, her brother's girlfriend is in fact the blonde beauty that made her feel so many emotions in just one night, only three months ago.


This is more of a filler chapter, but the next one is where things get more interesting ;) I'll try to write as fast as I can to give you some Brittana :)

Thank you so much for your amazing reviews on the first chapter, and thanks also to all the favorites and follows. You guys are awesome! :D Till next chapter...

Guest: I don't think it will have too much angst because I love them together and they can't resist one another for too long ;)

Guest: Yes, this is a BRITTANA story and not a Jason/Brittany story, so I'll make the Jason/Brittany coupleyness (Is that even a word? :P) ALMOST unexistent (I have to put some to make Santana jealous right? ;D), and I'll try to put Brittana cuteness and fluffiness as much as I can :)
