Summary: It's not possible for a girl to get pregnant by another girl, right? But what happens when Brittany gets Santana pregnant and thinks that she was cheated on, leaving both Santana and her child? Will Santana be able to bring up a child on her own, with no help? Will she be able to somehow convince Brittany that she didn't cheat and to come back to her?

Z87da - Quinn's reaction will be coming up soon.
taciiamayy - She won't, her anxiety will definitely get the best of her.
So who is ready for the meeting of Camila and Brittany?...
Today is the day; the day that I will finally introduce Camila and Brittany to each other. To say that I am nervous is an understatement because I am fucking shaking, I have no idea how Camila is going to react. Sure, she has been excited about meeting Brittany since I told her about her yesterday, but I know that things will change once she actually sees her.
I know that her anxiety and shyness will most likely take over and she will end up crying and clinging to me. Yes, I told Brittany that she is shy but she knows nothing about her anxiety or her bullying, or even her health problems. Oh that reminds me that I have to give Camila her milkshake before we leave the house.
I knew that I should of informed her about her problems earlier, but I guess I just didn't want Brittany to push to meet her earlier than I wanted her to.
Lucking over to Camila who is watching TV as I cook some pancakes for her, I can't help but smile at how cute she looks right now. She is, as usual, wearing her little hipster clothes with her hair straightened and a beanie. Now I see what Lexi means when she says that I dress Camila like I do. But she is so cute that it is so hard to stop dressing her like I dress her now.
"Camila, come eat these pancakes before we leave for the restaurant" I shout to her and she immediately gets up, plodding over to me as I sit the plate of pancakes onto the table for her. "You have to eat them baby" Camila looks up to me and I raise my eyebrows at her once I notice that she isn't eating them. She really does not like to eat a lot but she needs to because of her health.
I can't let her skip meals because of how small she is, in fact, she should be eating more meals. "I will save your milkshake for when we go out to the park, but you need to eat these" I tell her and she signs, giving into me and taking the pancakes to eat making me smile. Sometimes she is so fucking stubborn, I really do not know how my parents put up with me when I was younger because I was so much more stubborn than Camila is.
Leaving her to munch on the food, I leave the room to slip on some of my converse. "Mommy, we go now?" Camila comes skipping over to me as I pick up my bag, handing me over one of her milkshakes to keep until she wants it later on. She is looking up to me with her cutest pout an puppy dog eyes that I could never ever say no to even if I tried to do so.
She is so adorable.
"Of course we can, baby" I put the milkshake into my bag and take her hand in my own as I walk outside and lock up the door. "Just wait whilst I text your mama and tell her that we are on our way to meet her now" I tell Camila, pulling out my phone and texting Brittany.

Camila and I are on our way to the restaurant now, where are you?

1 New Message: Brittany
I'm like 5 minutes away, I will wait outside for you both - Brittany
I smile at her message because I can practically hear and see her excitement through my phone. This is where everything changes, not just Brittany's life, but also mine and Camila's. This is where Camila will have to get used to having two parents instead of just one and will have to learn to trust Brittany like she trusts me.
I know that this won't happen straight away, but I know that eventually we will become a family. When we are in London next week, it is going to give us the opportunity to spend time together just the three of us. Sure, Alexis will also be there with us but I know that during the day she will give us our space and then just hang with me on a night time once Camila is asleep in bed or something.
After ten minutes of Camila talking non-stop down my ear, we finally come up to the restaurant causing her to go completely quiet. I can see the nervousness coming from her small body once we walk up towards Brittany who still hasn't spotted the two of us yet.
"Britt" I call her and she turns her head, her face splitting into a ear-to-ear smile when her eyes land on Camila who is clinging to my legs shyly. Brittany walks towards the two of us, sending me a helpless look as her eyes fill with tears when Camila whimpers and hides behind me, her arms gripping around my waist. "I'm sorry" I say to her, mentally cursing myself for not talking with Camila before we came out of the house.
Camila doesn't know if she can trust Brittany or not, and I didn't even think of sitting her down to talk to her about it earlier. I even could of shown her all of mine and Brittany's old home movies that I still have hidden away in my closet, but no. I was an idiot and didn't even think to do so.
"Cams" I sigh, crouching down so that I am the same height as my daughter and looking into her bright blue eyes. "You can trust your mama. I promise you baby girl that she will never ever hurt you and she will only be nice to you, okay?" I desperately try to reassure her because I really do want her to have a special bond with Brittany. "Anyway, Camila, your mama loves to dance so maybe she can teach you if you ask her" Camila's eyes widen.
I can see that some of the fear has washed away from her eyes, but she is still hesitant as she looks over at Brittany. "Mama" she breathes out, almost in disbelief that Brittany is actually there in front of her. Brittany smiles softly at our daughter and opens her arms, and to my surprise, Camila falls into them without a thought to it. All three of us are crying at this point and I'm sure that we probably look crazy to the people walking by.
But I don't care.
This is a moment in my life that I will treasure forever.
"I love you so much, Camila. I promise you that I will never ever leave you again and that I will never hurt you" Brittany sobs into our daughters ear with so much sincerity that I almost collapse the the floor in tears. I can't believe that this is actually happening right now. I truly never thought that this day would ever come; I never thought that Camila would ever meet Brittany.
"I love you too mama" Camila says into Brittany's ear, kissing her cheek softly before she turns back to me. I just nod my head at her proudly, happy at the fact that she is talking to Brittany and not shutting herself away from her. Over the past couple of days, Camila has been getting better. She is not closing herself off as much as she used too and I think that it is because I am not sending her to school anymore.
I also think that it is because of her new relationship with Megan. I think that Megan is showing her that not everybody is out to hurt her and that there is some people in this world that she can trust and open up to. "Come on, lets go inside because we actually look like crazy people right now" I say to the two, wiping away my tears and taking Camila's hand in mine as Brittany opens up the doors for us.
As the waiter leads us over to a table for three, I sit down next to Camila and Brittany sits opposite us. Her eyes still haven't left Camila; like she is afraid that she will disappear if she takes her eyes from her for more than two seconds.
"You want to dance?" Brittany asks Camila softly, a small smile playing on her lips as she speaks to our daughter. Our daughter; it sounds weird to say that after it being five years of saying my daughter, but I honestly think that I like it. Now I have somebody to share things with, like I had nobody to be happy with over Camila's first steps or her first word. Sure, I had Alexis, Quinn, Rachel and Kurt, but it just wasn't the same.
"Yup, mommy said she gonna get me ballet lesson" Camila gushes excitedly, her blue eyes shining happily as she talks to her other mommy. "Mommy, tell mama you was a ballet dancer too" I chuckle at the smaller girls adorableness and for the first time, Brittany's eyes leave Camila's and lock with mine. She is telling me so many things with her eyes right now; from thanks, to happiness and still the guilt of not being here from the beginning.
"Your mama already knows baby. She was a ballet dancer with me, but she danced everything else too because your mama is the best dancer" I say to Camila once I finally break eye contact with Brittany.
Camila is literally squirming in her seat with excitement as she looks between Brittany and I, lost for words because of what I have just told her. "Really? You gots to teach me mama" Camila squeals just as the waiter comes over to take our order. "Mommy, no, I just had pancakes" Camila refuses, shaking her head at me but I just give her a stern look that causes her to sigh in defeat.
She has to eat, she can't just go skipping meals. "No, Cams. You know that you have to eat" she just nods her head and I try my hardest to just ignore the confused look that Brittany is sending me. "Three bacon and pasta bakes please, and two cokes" I order for Brittany too, knowing that this is her favourite thing to eat also. The waiter smiles before writing down our order and walking away.
"She has a few health issues" I say to Brittany when I feel her eyes still on me. "Her body isn't the right height or weight that is should be at her age" Brittany nods her head at my words in understanding, taking in everything that I am telling her carefully. "She is on these special milkshakes that help her put on weight and grow" Camila huffs at me and I can't help but laugh at her and her attempts to me annoyed.
"She will be okay though?" the concern and worry for our daughter in Brittany's voice makes my heart jump and now I truly know for sure that I made the right choice by letting Brittany into Camila's life today. Sure, I know that we need to work of our relationship, but I know that she is going to stand right by our daughter no matter what happens between the two of us.
"Yeah, she will..."
A/N: Guys, I'm so sorry for the short chapter and the long wait for it but I have only just gotten out of the hospital since I attempted suicide. I'm okay now though and I didn't want to keep you all waiting much longer so I just posted what I already have written even though it is not that long or good. But I hope that you all enjoyed it anyway.
So, what do you think of the meeting of Camila and Brittany? I thought that it was a good idea for the two of them to bond over dancing so I had to write that in. The trip to England will be in the next chapter and also some more of Quinn/Kurt/Rachel. What do you want to see happen with them when they finally find out that Santana let Brittany into Camila's life?
Let me know, and I will try my hardest to update as quick as I can.
