Author's Note: Hey everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I guess i've had some writer's block. With that being said, i'm not really satisfied with this chapter. It's short. I guess it's like a filler. Idk. The next chapter is going to be the hours leading up to their date plus their date.

Chapter 7

It had been about 30 minutes since Santana left and Brittany was just starting to calm down.

Brittany's parents had left to put Hannah to bed and although they were worried about their eldest daughter, they trusted that Quinn was there taking care of her.

Quinn sat there holding Brittany, not pushing to ask what happened before Brittany kicked Santana out. All she understood was that Santana had called Brittany stupid; it was ironic. Out of all the years knowing the two, Quinn never heard Santana call Brittany dumb or stupid, and Santana was always the first one to defend Brittany whenever she heard any of the jerks at school make fun of Brittany.

"Sorry Quinn. This is like the worst way to start a new year." Brittany said in between sobs.

"Shhh, Baby B, it didn't start out all bad, did it?" Quinn smiled, looking in Brittany's eyes, before wiping the tears away.

Brittany cracked a smile remembering what happened right after the countdown to 2010.

"Plus Baby B, we still have about 23 hours left today, a whole year ahead of us and I heard you have a pretty hot date tonight, you know…despite being pregnant and all."

"Yeah… she's a MILF." Brittany sniffled and giggled, making Quinn blush.

Brittany was glad that Quinn was there comforting her, and leaned in to kiss her.

Even though Quinn didn't want to, she pulled away. "Baby B, as much as I want to sit here and kiss you, I think we should just sleep. It's late."

"I don't think she wants me to go on a date with you…"Brittany whispered to Quinn as they lay in bed face to face.

"Hmmm?" Quinn inquired as she started caressing Brittany's arm, somewhat afraid that Brittany was going to cancel their date.

"Santana…she started yelling at me when I told her you asked me on a date…"

"She's protective over you…I understand…"

"Well, so are you, so I don't understand why..." Brittany sighed.

"Brittany, if you..." Quinn started, avoiding eye contact. "If you don't want to go out…"

"No, no. I want to go on our date, silly. Unless you don't want to anymore? But that would be super messed up Quinnie. Get all my hopes up and then decide you don't want to go on a date or whatever." Brittany interrupted.

"Hmmm. Baby B, you're too cute. I really want to. I've wanted to ask you out, for a while now, but let's just sleep now, okay?" Quinn said relieved.

Brittany smiled at the girl lying in front of her, and then turned around with her back facing Quinn. This caused Quinn to frown before closing her eyes, until she felt Brittany tug at her hand and bring it around her [Brittany's] waist, lacing their fingers together.

Quinn snuggled closer to Brittany and although Brittany was still sad about Santana, she was content lying there with Quinn.
