Author's Note: Here's another chapter. Keep the reviews coming! I love hearing what people have to say. I need some inspiration for the next chapter. LOL.

Chapter 6

"Here goes nothing…" Santana said to herself as she opened the door to Brittany's room, ready to apologize to Brittany and be her first kiss of the New Year.

The sight in front of her caused her to drop the stuffed animal she held in her hand. She was shocked to say the least. Quinn was kissing her Brittany. Santana felt jealousy tug at her heart, but was relieved that it could've been worse. Santana was a bitch, but she would never hit a pregnant girl, unless she caught said pregnant girl having sex with Brittany.

Santana picked up the stuffed duck, cleared her throat, crossed her arms, then added with a scowl, "Preggers, get out…I need to talk to Brittany, NOW."

The two broke apart and both girls were flustered. Quinn knew something big was about to go down. She had just been caught by the one other person that may have loved Brittany as much as she did.

"Happy New Year, S." Brittany said calmly. "Who's preggers?" she continued completely forgetting that her and Santana weren't on great terms.

"Um, Brit, I'll leave so you two can talk. If you need anything I'll be around." Quinn softly said before kissing Brittany's cheek.

"Happy New Year, Santana." Quinn acknowledged before walking out.

"Just leave before I hit a pregnant girl." Santana spat.

With that Quinn, rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Happy New Year. I got this for you…" Santana said as she approached Brittany taking off her bitch façade once Quinn was out of the room. "I know you were disappointed when you found out the duck wasn't in the hat for our ballad assignment."

"Thanks Santana! I love it! I remember staying for hours after that day just looking for the ballad" Brittany said excitingly.

Santana handed the plush duck to Brittany, happy that Brittany enjoyed her little gift. It amazed her how Brittany could get so amused by the littlest things; but then again that was one of her favorite things about the blonde.

A few minutes passed by and Santana decided to break the silence. She really didn't want to talk about what she saw a few minutes earlier. She reached for Brittany's hand and laced their pinkies together. "Brittany, I feel like you're slipping away…" Santana admitted. When it was only the two of them together, she (like Quinn) always felt so vulnerable. She never had the bitch façade up when it was just Brittany.

"Um Santana, I'm right here. I'm not even moving. Are you feeling okay? Should I call 911? Do you have their number?" Brittany said with a worried tone.

"No Brit. I'm fine. I just…what I'm trying to say is…I…I'm sorry for what I said before. I didn't mean to get so angry about Quinn. I didn't want Puck that night. I just wanted you to stay and…I just feel like we haven't talked or spent much time together ever since that whole baby incident and Quinn…"

"S, it's okay. I still love you. You're still one of my best friends. I'm sorry, too."

"B, you have nothing to be sorry for. You're just being you and I love you too." Santana said with a reassuring smile.

"So how about a New Year's kiss from yours truly" Santana leaned in wanting to forget what she saw walking into the room and determined to make Brittany forget about kissing Quinn ever.

Brittany let Santana kiss her, but pulled away after a few seconds.

Santana was okay with it because she wanted to ask her something.

"Would it be too much to ask if we could spend later on today together? Just you and I, at least for a few hours? And If you want you could invite Quinn after?" Santana suggested wanting to make Brittany happy on the first day of the New Year, and if that meant Quinn spending time with the two of them, she would work on it or at least work on showing Quinn that Brittany belonged to her.

"Oh, yeah, sure, I'd like that, but I'll call you first. Quinn asked me out on a date, so I don't know what time…"

"A date? Since when are you two dating?" Jealousy rose in Santana.

"I guess it would be our first date." Brittany smiled thinking about how adorable Quinn looked while she asked Brittany out, and completely ignoring the fact that Santana's demeanor was changing.

"What is wrong with you Brittany? Can't you see she's just using you?" Santana let go of Brittany's hand and started to raise her voice.

Brittany heard Santana raise her voice before, but never to her. Santana was always patient and never yelled at Brittany. She experienced Santana's sarcasm, but nothing else. This reminded Brittany what had happened weeks ago. It sounded like it was about to be worse than what went down two weeks ago.

"Santana, Hannah is asleep, please don't…" Brittany hesitantly said trying to get her best friend to lower her voice.

"Don't you remember what she did to Finn and Puck? She's pregnant, Brittany. I know you're slow, but I didn't think you were that stupid…" the Latina interrupted.

Tears started forming in Brittany's eyes. Santana always defended Brittany when people called her names and questioned her intelligence, but the fact that Santana Lopez, her own best friend, just called her stupid blew her mind.

"I…what?" Brittany was speechless.

"Everyone thinks you're dumb and I always thought...I knew you weren't. But to be honest Brittany, I think this is the stupidest you've ever acted." Santana argued.

It took all Brittany had to say the next few words to Santana. "Get out! Just…just get out!" Brittany struggled with tears in her eyes.

At that, Santana immediately regretted every word she said. She never saw Brittany get angry or cry and it broke her heart. "Brit, I'm sorry…"

Quinn heard the arguing and yelling and barged into the room.

"I said get out! You can't come into my house, into my room and tell me that I'm stupid. Take your stupid duck and leave!" Brittany cried.

Santana felt her heart break into a million pieces, but she didn't want to make Brittany any angrier than she was. She couldn't handle it. Before she left Santana murmured, "Brittany, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say those words." And finally got the courage to say what she wanted to tell Brittany for months, "You know that I love you…I love you more than…"

At this point, Brittany was sobbing and Quinn ran to her side to comfort her. "I think you should leave, Santana." Quinn uttered.

Santana left the room defeated, for the first time.

"Santana? What happened? Are you leaving?" Hannah asked rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"Oh, Hannah sorry, I…You should be asleep. It's way past your bedtime" Santana said as she regretted yelling and waking up Brittany's little sister.

"OHHHHHH! It's 2010 now? Happy New Year Santana! Where's Brittany and Quinn?"

"Happy New Year baby girl. Can you tell B that I lo…that I really am sorry? And give her a big hug for me, k?" Santana said as she held back tears.

Brittany's parents were at the top of the stairs wondering what was going on.

"Are you alright?" Brittany's mom asked noticing Santana's discomfort.

"Yeah, I'm fine Mrs. Pierce…Um I gotta go. Happy New Year" Santana managed to choke out, before rushing downstairs and out the front door to her car.

The year didn't start out well for Santana.
