Thanks for the reviews and I agree with the guest review that said this story is moving very fast at times, but that's how I wanted it to go.
Brittany POV
"Mmm," I moan opening one eye to see what is causing my breasts to feel so good.
I'm shocked to see a black head of hair moving around as its owner sucks on my nipple while a hand rubs the other one. I gasp when the other hand moves down my torso.
"Santana," I gasp as her hand moves extremely close to my center.
"Sorry," she sheepishly says pulling back.
"Don't be," I say pulling her back on top of me. "I'm just shocked that's all that you're such a fast learner. But by all means continue, I don't mind at all being woken up like this."
"Okay," she shyly says blushing.
"Hey, don't be shy I've wanted you like this since I first laid eyes on you." I tell her, lifting her head and gently kissing her on the lips.
"Really," she says her eyes lighting up.
"Yeah, but I didn't want to force you to do anything that you didn't want to." I tell her, hugging her to me.
"Let me show you how much I enjoyed last night." she shyly says kissing her way down my body.
"I'm sorry ahead of time if I force your head down when you go down on me, but it's a force of habit." I tell her glad that I was finally a much needed release from the woman I'm madly in love with.
She hovers over my vagina just breathing in my scent. It must be pretty strong as I'm beyond wet for her. She slides her hands along my inner thighs, getting really close to where I need her most. She really is to good at this teasing thing for it to be her first time with a woman.
"Damn it Santana," I gasp bucking my hips up.
"What can't a badass shield maiden take a little teasing." she confidently says.
I'm so happy that she's getting all confident and comfortable around me.
"Please San," I beg needing her.
She smirks before diving in and thrusting her tongue inside of me.
"Fuck! Don't stop!" I shout moaning as Santana switches between thrusting and licking.
Suddenly I hear the door open and Quinn's voice floats in.
"Brittany, your dad wants you."
To consumed with how close I am I don't hear Quinn walking towards us.
"Oh Valhalla!" Quinn shouts when she sees us.
"Out, get out!" I manage to say motioning her out before my orgasm hits me.
After several minutes I come down from my high and Santana crawls up my body kissing me on lips before laying her head on my chest.
"I can't believe that..." she trails off.
"Next time I'm blocking the door." I huff irritated that Quinn almost ruined my sexy time with San.
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to want a next time." she says playing with a few strands of my hair.
"Trust me there's nothing I want more than you knuckle deep inside of me, but we have to get up for the solstice feast." I tell her.
She smiles at me before getting up and swaying her hips as she looks around for something to wear. I lay back on the bed and just watch her thankful that she's finally fully mine and I'm hers.
"Are you just going to sit there and stare at me or actually get ready?" she asks smirking.
"Well I was going to just enjoy the view from here, but if you insist." I joke getting up.
"You look amazing," she says wrapping her arms around my waist.
"I'm naked sweetie," I smirk.
"That's what makes you so amazing." she laughs pouting as I actually put clothes on.
I can't believe it's five months since I met Santana. This is the first time that I will actually bring a woman I love to any festival and one that my mom approves of.
"Are you sure I look good?" she asks for the tenth time since leaving.
"San, you look positively breath taking and I'm sure that every guy will be jealous that you're on my arm." I smirk knowing I'm right.
"They'll just have to be jealous cause I'm on your arm and don't want anyone else." she says snuggling into my body.
I must be smiling like an idiot, but I don't care, I have the hottest woman in the country on my arm. We walk in and I notice that most of the men are staring at Santana probably wondering why I a "thrall" with me. Not that I give a rats ass what they think.
"Brittany sweetie, I'm so glad you two made it." my mom says hugging us both while dragging us to sit at the Jarl's table.
I look over to my dad who has a huge smile on his face. I'm relieved that he doesn't seemed pissed anymore at me for taking Santana.
"Thank you for finally getting rid of the Puckerman boy, he's been getting on my nerves." my dad said slapping my on the back.
"Your welcome?" I say confused, but I'm not one to question when everything is going well.
The fest went by fast now that I'm on good terms with my father again and I have Santana at my side. She sat practically on my lap even though my mom was sitting on her other side. I think she was nervous about everyone staring at her. Though it proved to be a good thing as I had to show her what to do at certain parts and when to pray. After eating the duck she started to feel sick so Quinn offered with my mom to take her back.
"Well my daughter I have to say that you've done quite well for yourself." my dad says as we walk alone out on the dock.
"I certainly think that I have." I say sitting down.
"Though I would like to know why you're so protective of your thrall?" he asks sighing as if it's a problem.
"Because I want her to be more than my thrall." I say looking him in the eyes.
"So you plan on freeing her?" he questions.
"Yes, but I also plan on committing to her very soon." I tell him.
"You what!" he shouts jumping up.
"It's not like I actually will ever sleep with any men and you don't want me taking away another woman that can bear children from one of our men so Santana is the perfect answer for both of us." I say confident that he will see it my way.
He stood there looking out at the water lost in thought.
"I'm never going to have grandchildren am I." he says sitting down next to me.
"No," I sadly say putting my head on his shoulder.
"Does she make you happy?" he asks.
"More than anything," I say lifting my head to look him in the eyes.
"Then I approve, go to her." he says hugging me before pushing me to go home.
"Thank you daddy." I whisper.
I don't waste any time running back to my house and thankfully Quinn and my mom leaves as soon as I arrive not asking any questions or making small talk.
"Hey," I whisper slipping under the covers with San.
"Britt, I don't feel so good." she whispers rolling into my arms.
"What's wrong?" I ask getting more concerned.
"I feel like throwing up and my boobs hurt." she complains snuggling into me.
"Just try and sleep sweetie and if you still feel bad tomorrow morning I'll go ask my mom what she thinks." I say as Santana quickly falls back asleep.
I hold her close to me just watching her sleep like I have so many times before. It's become one of my favorite things to do. She just looks so peaceful and gorgeous when she's sleeping that I never want her to look any other way ever again. She's become my whole world the only reason that I get up in the morning, I'd give my life to ensure that she's safe.
My dad excepting Santana means the world to me. I know he's had a hard time with the fact that I will never give him grandchild. So with his approval I know that no one will stop me from committing the rest of my life to Santana as Ulf pointed out no man was crazy enough to actually want me.
"Britt," Santana moans pulling me out of my thoughts by leaning over the side of the bed and puking.
I'm really getting worried now. What if she has some incurable sickness I don't want to live without her now that I finally found her.
"It's okay San," I whisper rubbing her back as she puked up everything she had eaten.
"Britt why do I feel so bad?" she asks.
"I don't know sweetie, but I will find out." I promise kissing her head.
"Okay, just not now, I need you to just hold me." she says.
"Don't worry I wasn't going to." I settle back down behind her.
Santana POV
It can't be can it? I can't be! No! Please god no! She'll leave me. How can this be he's still hurting me even though he's dead.
Brittany POV
"Mom!" I need your help!" I shout running to her.
"Brittany, calm down." she says pulling me into the house.
My mom sets me down on a log, rubbing my back like she did when I was a little kid. I'm so scared and worked up that I can't talk or really think.
"Brittany what has you so worked up?" my mom asks.
"Santana," I start, but am cut off by my dad coming in.
He looks really confused as to why I'm here. But my mom gives him a pointed look and he leaves quickly.
"Well?" she says looking at me.
"Santana's sick." I say trying not to cry.
"Okay sweetie, what's wrong with her?" she asks.
"She's been throwing up all night, complaining about not feeling well and her breasts are sore." I tell her hoping she knows what wrong.
I'm really worried that whatever is wrong with San is incurable. If anything happens to her I don't know what I'll do. Without her I don't think I could stay here anymore not after what Puck did. If this is somehow his fault I'll kill every last Puckerman for this...I don't even think there's a word that describes how horrible this is. My mom put her hand on my shoulder drawing me out of my thoughts.
"You don't have to worry she'll be back to normal in about nine months." she says smiling.
"What?" I ask.
It makes no sense why she'd say that it would take nine months. I can't think of any sickness that would last that long before going away. This makes me even more worried than before.
"Brittany. She's pregnant." she calmly says.
"What!" I shout jumping up.
No! She can't be not with his children, not after what he did to her.
"Sweetie I'm sorry to have to tell you that, but she is." she says.
"What am I going to do?" I weakly ask falling to the ground.
"You have to decide what you feel for her. If you feel strong enough for her then you have to get ready to become a mother as well. They'll be your responsibility both her and the baby." she tells me getting up and heading for the door. "Your father would probably see it as grandchild and that would make him happy." she says turning around and smiling sadly before turning back around and heading out.
She's right I do have to decide what I want. I love San with every inch of myself, but could I love the baby that she was now carrying. This is something I just, don't know. I want to say yes, but...I just don't know anymore.
"Brittany," my dad timidly says.
Come to think of it, that's the quietest I've ever heard him say anything.
I turn to look at him, tears falling down my face. He sits next to me and pulls me into chest.
"What's wrong?" he asks allowing me to completely break down in his arms.
"She's...pregnant." I sob.
"Santana? Oh," he says when I nod.
He lets go of me and shoves me so I'm sitting up straight.
"What the hell are you still doing here then?" he asks practically shouting.
"Um,"
"Get your ass back to your woman. She's probably just as scared as you the only difference is you're all she has." he shouts at me.
I never thought of that. I'm the only one here that she knows and trusts enough to help her through this. Fuck! I'm an idiot.
Not even bothering to say anything to my dad I jump and sprint back to our house. The whole way my brain is still having a battle about what to do about this baby. Half of me wants it as it's the only child either of us will ever have. The other half of me wants nothing to do with this baby. The battle is won the second I see San sitting next to the door looking so sad.
Santana POV
What am I going to tell her. She'll kick me out. No one will want me. Not when my child will be a bastard no matter what I do. Maybe the Jarl will be willing to take me back to England during the next raiding season. Just when I thought I was finally safe. I can't help, but start sobbing.
"San," I hear Brittany quietly say taking my hands in hers.
"I'm soo sorry," I sob clasping into her arms knowing this will probably be the last time that she holds me like this.
"Shh, baby it's okay," she softly says into my ear, rubbing my back.
"I'm..."
I can't tell her. The thought of losing her is literally killing me.
She picks me up and surprises me by carrying me down to the docks, loading me in her boat. She covers me up before taking the oars and rowing across the inlet to the far side where a small cabin is.
I've always wondered about the cabin. If all the woman are correct it's very well protected with loads of booby traps and is rumored to belong to the Jarl though Britt's mother says it's not his. Quinn told me it was built about six years ago though no one knows by who or why.
Brittany lands the boat on the shore in front of the cabin, pulling it up and tying it off. I stay seated and just watch her curious about were doing here. She picks me up and carries me into the cabin. I gasp when I see all the gold, rugs and other very expensive English and Spanish looking things that are in here.
"I want you to say here while I'm raiding." she says setting me down on a chair with the arms plated with gold.
"Britt-" I try, but she cuts me off.
"I'll stock enough food for you and there's a stream not far away." she continues.
"Brittany!" I shout finally getting her attention.
"What?" she calmly asks.
"I'm pregnant," I say fully expecting her to blow up.
"I know," she says shocking as she goes on telling me where everything is.
"Wait! You know and are fine with it?" I ask unable to wrap my mind around this.
"Santana," she sighs sitting next to me taking both my hands. "I was torn when my mom said that it sounded like you were pregnant, but when I saw you sitting outside our house looking so sad I knew I loved you more than anything and losing you wasn't an option. The fact that we are going to have a little you running around just makes me love you more plus my dad can't wait to be a grandpa." she says smiling.
"I love you," I say pulling her into a kiss. "Now take me to bed I want you now." I order her.
"What about the baby?" she asks setting me down on the bed.
"I don't think it will hurt the baby if I take care of your needs." I growl pouncing on her knocking her on her back.
"Fuck," she moans.
"We will be doing a lot of that." I moan unable to contain myself anymore.
I attack her lips with mine, sucking on her bottom lip as I try to unbutton her shirt, though damn it's proving to be really hard. She growls frustrated that it's taking so long and she just rips her shirt off. My lips instantly attach to her nipple as my hand slides its way into her pants.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Britt where did you get all this stuff?" I ask snuggling into her.
"From raiding," she yawns probably exhausted from all the times I made her orgasm.
"I figured that out, but..." I trail off trying to think of how to phrase it.
For the most part I can speak norse, but sometimes I just can't come up with the right wording.
"Why do I still have so much when most everyone else has spent theirs?" she says and I nod. She chuckles before answering, "I didn't have any need to spend it. I can't cook so I didn't need supplies and no one depended on me so I built this house to store my shares. The only way to enter or leave is by boat as all the other sides are protected by traps, heck even the water side is if you don't know where to step."
"And now," I say looking up at her.
She wraps her arms around me squishing our naked bodies together.
"Now I have you and in about six months we'll have a baby. I finally have a reason to spend my loot." she says smiling.
Smiling, I bury my head in her chest, she just keeps surprising me. Every time I think she's going to act one way she does the exact opposite. And the fact that she wants to be a parent to my unborn child is just wow. I don't know why I'm surprised at how much gold she has all the women expect for Quinn and her mom are always talking about how she never buys anything. A thought hits me.
"Britt, how many other women have you slept with?" I ask worried that she might leave me when I start showing cause there are surely other women who want her.
"I don't know, ten maybe fifteen." she says looking down at me. A voice in my head says that she'll leave me for them once I lose my figure. "None of them mean anything to me, only you." she says kissing me.
Hearing her say that makes the voice in my head quiet down.
"Good cause I don't want to hurt the baby beating up some bitch." I say getting up as I can hear my woman's stomach growl.
"Don't worry about that..." she says trailing off as she looks me up and down licking her lips.
"About what?" I ask causing her to gulp and look up from my breasts.
"I'm having you stay here while I'm gone to protect both of you." she says stacking up to me and putting her hands on my still pretty flat belly.
"Oh so it's all about protecting me." I laugh when she takes half the fish off the fire and eats it.
"Yes ma' lady," she says kissing my cheek.
She encircles her arms around me rocking us back and forth. I never want this moment to end, this perfect moment. The safety I feel in her arms...
"Shit," Brittany shouts scampering back towards the bed looking for her clothes.
"What?" I ask looking around.
"There's a bear right outside, you stay here." she orders.
Yeah like I need being told to stay here.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Remember you can leave if my mom or Quinn either are with you or you can see them or if something happens with the baby." Brittany says putting the bear coat over my shoulders.
"Be careful," I say running my finger over the scar on her left cheek that she got from fighting and killing the bear that wandered towards our cabin three months ago. "I don't like the idea of you being hurt."
Flashback
I hear grunts and roars. It scares me to death that she might die out there by this bear trying to protect me. If anything happens to her I don't know what I'll do. I sneak a peek out the window only to see Brittany stab at the bear and get her face slashed at.
"Baby," Santana whispers sliding down the wall as I look away.
I don't want to see the bear destroy the woman I love and that promises to take care of me. Not knowing exactly what happens is better in my mind than knowing.
After hearing several growls it all goes silent. The door opens and I start sobbing when I see Brittany walk in with blood all over her.
"Britt," I sob getting up only to fall into her arms.
"San," she says calmly lifting me up and setting me down on the bed.
"Don't ever scare me like that again." I lightly cry into her chest.
"I won San and now I can give you a fur coat worthy of you." she says allowing me to cuddle into her.
"All I want is you," I whisper wiping the blood off her face only to see the giant gash on her left cheek.
End Flashback
"There's two swords and an axe I left in case you need to protect yourself." she says rubbing my rather large swollen belly.
"Two maybe three months before you get to meet him." I say kissing her.
"You think it's going to be a boy?" she asks.
"I don't know, but I hope." I tell her hugging her even more.
"Take care," she says kissing first my belly then me.
Neither of us want to part, but everyone is shouting for Brittany to hurry her ass up. When we finally fart she jumps in the boat and blows kisses at me until I can't see her anymore.
"Don't worry Santana she always comes back in one piece." Brittany's mom says putting an arm around my shoulder.
"And generally without a scratch." Quinn adds.
I just nod. I'm terrified not only that something might happen to Brittany, but that she might find someone else.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Brittany's mom asks as we walk to her house.
She can read people so well it's scary.
"What if she finds someone else who's not pregnant." I quietly say after all she did meet me while raiding.
"Oh Santana, sweetie, I hate to tell you, but you're stuck with my daughter for a very long time. She's so in love with you that she doesn't even see other women. Plus her father actually likes you which is a blessing in itself." she says stopping to hug me.
"But-"
"Stop worrying everything is going to be fine." she says.
I sigh and give in knowing that she's right. My only worry is that she'll end up injured that thought scares me.
Brittany POV
"God damn it! Harold our left flank is lagging!" I shout as I throw a spear in the eye of a soldier.
We've been fighting these Spanish bastards for two hours now and they still keep coming. Thankfully we've only lost two men, but we're tiring and they just keep coming.
"Brittany watch out!" Harold shouts.
It's too late though the man had already pierced his sword into my shoulder. The searing pain was almost blinding, the only reason I didn't pass out was I could leave San and our baby. Closing my eyes to focus I lifted my arms and thrust my sword up into the man who stabbed me. Pulling the sword out, I lay down exhausted thinking that this might be the end.
"Brittany, oh god." Harold gasps kneeling next to me. "Stay with me, we'll get you fixed up and back to your woman." he says picking me up and carrying me back towards the boats.
No you don't a man who looks an awful lot like Santana shouts pointing his sword at us.
"Harold, I weakly say as Ulf comes up from behind and cleanly chops his head off.
Santana POV
"Santana," Quinn calls. "The boats are coming back!" she shouts.
I jump up, well as well as I can being the size of a bear and almost ready to give birth.
"Then let's hurry, I need to meet her the moment they dock." I say pulling on my bear coat.
"Whoa, slow down, you don't want to give birth before Brittany gets back." she says helping me down to our little boat.
"I have to see her," I say trying to get us to go faster.
By the time we reach the docks the three ships have just entered our sight. I'm starting to get all gitty with excitement, this is the first time I'm seeing Britt in two months.
"Santana calm down, I'm sure my daughter will be out of the boat and in your arms before the boat even docks." her mom says standing next to me.
The boats finally dock, but to all our surprise no one came out in a hurry off to their women. When some of them finally started coming out I gasp and waddle fast to them.
"Britt," I sob.
"I'm fine," she weakly says.
"No you're not," I say taking her right hand.
"We need to put her in a bed so she can get some really rest and heal." Harold says carrying Brittany towards our house in the village.
As soon as they put her down I swoosh everyone away promising to take good care of her.
"San," she says lifting her arm and motioning for me to come over to her.
"Britt, what happened?" I ask sitting down next to her.
I racked my eyes over her body assessing the damage done to her. If I ever found out who did this I'd kill them for almost taking her away from me. Leaning over I lightly brush over the wound on her left shoulder. She grimaces, but puts her right hand on my check cupping it. Closing my eyes I allow relief to wash over me.
"I'm going to be okay San." she says pulling me down so I'm laying snuggled into her right side.
"You almost died." I sob curling into her even more.
"I'm not, I'm going to be okay, but you look ready to pop any day now." she says rubbing my swollen belly.
"I was just waiting for you to return after all I wasn't about to let you miss the birth of your own child." I say causing her to chuckle which causes me some relief.
"Commit to me," she says holding out a diamond encrusted necklace.
