Month 4
"Santana Lopez?" the nurse called into the waiting room, both women stood up hand in and proceeded into the room, "if you'd like to change into the gown and take a seat I'll be right back" she smiled warmly before leaving the room, "I think these gowns may be the most unattractive piece of clothing ever…" the Latino expressed getting a small laugh off her wife in return.
"So I'm going to take some blood and your blood pressure then doctor Cree will be in to do the ultrasound" the older looking woman explained, she did the tests and left the room, it was only a few seconds before the doctor entered, "hey how are you feeling?" she asked pulling a chair opposite her, "good… puking a lot but good" she giggled slightly, "that's completely normal, it will fade over the next couple of months, any bleeding, cramping or fainting?"
"No, I've felt really dizzy sometimes but no fainting"
"Remember to eat regularly make sure your never hungry that can help" Santana nodded in return, "so if you'd like to lie down we can take a look at your baby" Brittany couldn't help but squeal, she had acted like a child on Christmas day all morning, she was very excited, she stood next to her wife and held her hand, Doctor Cree squirted the cold blue gel onto her tiny baby bump, she carefully placed the probe against her belly and moved it around while looking on the small screen.
"Oh my god" Brittany mumbled in amazement while observing the screen, it was no longer a grey blob, it looked like an actual baby, "the baby looks healthy and on target, we won't be able to tell the gender till the next ultrasound but that's only in a month" the woman explained, "want to hear the heartbeat?" she looked to the married couple, Santana nodded with tears in her eyes, she wasn't normally the emotional one, she put some sort of technical device against her bump and after a couple of seconds they heard it, it was a loud echoed thumping sound, it was unbelievable.
"Ok well I'll give you a few minutes to get changed and I'll print you some pictures off and get the results of some of your tests" she told before leaving the room, Santana didn't move she just stared into space worrying Brittany "San baby you ok?" she said picking up her clothes, "…it's real" she mumbled still gazing into space, the blonde smirked at her realisation, "yeah… it's real" she laughed kissing her on the cheek, "it didn't feel real before" she explained pulling her jeans on, "but it's a good thing" she was worried, it went quite again while she changed her top, "yeah" she exhaled, to Brittany's delight.
It was Sunday evening three days after their doctor's appointment, they decided to invite Finn, Rachel, Quinn, Puck, Blaine and Kurt for dinner to show them the photo's which they were very proud of and already gave them a place, one in their bedroom, one on the coffee table and one stuck to the fridge next to the 'list', "aww it's so cute!" Brittany exclaimed placing her hand on her wife's growing belly, Santana decided to wear a dress that shown it off more, it was a grey and black body con but it looked perfect on her now curvier body.
Brittany was currently setting the table while Santana stirred the food, when the doorbell rang, "oh my god! Look at you your glowing" Rachel exclaimed as her and Finn entered the house, they had got Arabelle a baby sitter for the night, "thanks Rach" she replied with a smile, not long after the other four followed, "Santana you look stunning in that dress" Kurt said picking through his salad, "she does doesn't she… and the baby bump makes it look all that cuter" Brittany chimed tilting her head, "we got photos from our doctor's appointment, want to see them?" Brittany was obviously very excited, and before they could even answer she had left the table to get it off the fridge, they passed it around the table and everyone smiled, "when do you know if it's a boy or girl?" Puck said with his mouth full with bread, "first of all don't talk with your mouth full, secondly in two months" there was an eerie silence, Santana's hormones where getting the better of her.
The night went smoothly except for a snide comment from the Latino every now and then leaving Brittany mouthing 'sorry' every once in a while, but they understood, most had experienced it before… "No Quinn you took most of your mood swings out on me?" to the ladies disgust (also Kurt and Blaine) the two men where currently debating over who had it worse when their wives were pregnant, "No I did not! You were a pig I just was naturally horrible to you" she screeched causing the women to laugh, "I'm pretty sure I still have the bruise on my arm from all the times you hit me" he said rubbing his shoulder looking for sympathy.
"Anyway…" Rachel shouted over the squabbling table, "me and Finn have decided to do Christmas this year because it's Arabelle's first proper Christmas last year she was only a few months old, so your all invited" she exclaimed excited, "we'll be there" Quinn smiled not letting Puck get an opinion due to their prier disagreement, "off course we'll be there, I want to spoil our little Belle" Kurt said, "that's if Rachel hasn't already bought her EVERYTHING" Finn sniped under his breath.
"Excuse me?" Rachel looked in his eyes, she was not happy… "Rach what's a toddler going to do with tiffany bracelet? She'll probably try and eat it" he replied looking for someone to help him, "what is wrong with you?" Santana interfered looking around the table, "stop arguing!" she shouted slumping back in her chair, "oh look bad ass is back" Puck mumbled getting a well-deserved kick under the table.
Brittany decided to book them in for a prenatal yoga class together she thought it might help with the anger! "Santana where going to be late hurry up!" the blonde shouted up the stairs, but her wife was in no mood, "can't we just sit at home and watch some crappy Christmas crap" she suggested swaying down the stairs, "crappy Christmas crap?" Brittany giggled, "I don't want to go out its cold" she whined resting on the arm of the couch, "you're acting like a child" the Latino couldn't even be bothered to put the effort into arguing back "…so" she replied, Brittany just huffed before storming out of the room.
She thought she was losing her mind; she couldn't put up with the mood swings no more, she stormed straight into her bedroom locking the door behind her without an ounce of guilt, she just needed to be alone for a while, she flung herself onto their bed and closed her eyes, "Britt… Brittany" she heard a faint tapping on the bedroom door, "…I'm sorry" she heard her say, but she didn't reply, after a couple of minutes she heard her footsteps get fainter and sighed in relief.
She wasn't being horrible, she just needed a break, no offense but Santana was always strong willed before she was pregnant, now it was sobbing one minute throwing dishes the next, just a bit of peace and quiet would help…
She awoke in confusion, it was quiet very quiet, she must have slept for a while as it's going dark, she thought Santana must have left with a mood on but that was expected, the blonde stood up of the bed and wrapped a blanket around her before gently stumbling out of the room and down the stairs, the TV was on and the Christmas tree was lit up, but there was still no sign of her wife, she slowly crept through the living room and began to smell a familiar scent, "hi" Santana greeted cheerfully, she noticed a plate of her favourite sugar cookies on the counter, and Santana cooking, "err… hi" she replied still stunned slipping into a chair, the Latino poured something between two cups and brought them over with the cookies.
"I really am sorry" she sat opposite her wife with a warm smile across her face, Brittany took a sip of the warm liquid and realised it was her favourite holiday drink; cinnamon hot chocolate, "you made my favourites?" she said in awe, "peace offering" Santana giggled, "however I advise you to eat them, before I do" she smiled sweetly to the blonde.
"Ok so… we have Arabelle that doll that yawns; which I find severely creepy by the way, and Jacob that dance game thingy majigy, we got Beth apple green converse to go with the bracelets and… is there any more kids?" they were currently wrapping up presents on the living room floor, and Santana was going through her mental list "I'm not sure, we can buy spares just in case" the blonde said while trying to get a piece of tape, Santana felt a sudden pain to her abdomen, she shrugged it off as nothing but a few seconds later it came back but stronger, "ouch…"
Brittany's head instantly jolted up to her wife, she had placed her hands on her growing stomach, "babe you ok?" she crawled through the mountain of wrapping paper and sat beside her, "yes just a bit…" she winced again, "what's wrong do you need me to call doctor Cree?" Brittany became worried, "no Britt it's probably just my stomach stretching or something I'll be fine" she lifted herself of the floor and sat back into the couch, "alright… well I'm just going to go to the bathroom" Brittany announced not so convincingly, "Britt you better not call Doctor Cree" Santana exclaimed, but Brittany just ran out of the room, "I'm not, I'm calling Quinn!" she shouted back from the kitchen, she heard the back door close realising she had gone to hide outside, but she didn't even put effort into going after her.
Brittany returned around fifteen minutes later, "Quinn said it was most likely you're uterus stretching!" she shouted causing her wife to laugh, "what?" she replied confused watching her keel over, "I never thought I'd hear someone shout 'your uterus is stretching' so enthusiastically before" Brittany just smirked and placed herself back in the sea of paper and present's, "hey I was thinking about baby names" the Latino told concentrating on tying the perfect bow on Arabelle's present.
"Any ideas?" Brittany swivelled around to face her, "I did… but I forgot" she said with a slight giggle, pregnancy brain was doing weird things with her, "oh… what about if it's a boy?"
"Umm… I don't know" Santana replied clueless, "ooh I know, alphabet name game, one for a boy and one for a girl!" Brittany jumped at enthusiastically, "ok… Adam… Adie"
"Aww I like Adie… Andrew and Alice"
"Benjamin and Bailey though I don't like it that much"
"Umm me neither, Boris and Beatrice"
"Boris!" Santana laughed, "Do you want our kid to get beat up!" the blonde just sat with a smirk, "Caleb and Connie" she said, "I like Connie it's cute" Brittany said with a smile, "well anyway we should wait till we find out the gender really, but I do have an idea…"
It was Christmas eve, Brittany's favourite day of the year, they have the same tradition every year, they go to Quinn's and have a huge breakfast and every bodies usually there, then they go for a long walk through central park in the snow (if it was snowing), then they spend the afternoon making cookies and Christmas treats while singing along to holiday songs.
"Morning" Quinn said cheerfully as gesturing for them to enter the house, "hey it smells good in here" Brittany said while removing her coat, "oh my god your bumps got so big since I last saw you" Quinn squealed in aww she gently stroked the top of her stomach but she didn't mind, "I know… I feel so fat" she said her face dropping slightly, "you're not fat, you look cute with a baby bump" Brittany sympathised.
As soon as they entered the large dining room they noticed the many people around the table, there was Quinn's mom and sister with her fiancé, then Puck's mom and his sister, Jake and Marley then Tina and Mike with Jacob, "hey" the couple greeted everyone and lowered to their seats, "Quinn tells me you're having a baby, congratulations" Quinn's mom Judy smiled, "thanks" both women replied, "do you know what you're having?" Marley questioned, "no not yet, we find out in two weeks" the conversation flowed from there, then they proceeded to their next destination.
The snow fell lightly around them as they walked through the park with linked arms, "this time next year we'll have our baby" Brittany smiled turning her head to her wife, " our last Christmas just us" Santana replied, but she wasn't sad in fact she couldn't wait for their son or daughter to arrive, "by the way remind me not to go Rachel crazy with our kid when it comes to presents" Brittany said in a serious tone, Santana just laughed and pulled her wife closer so she could rest her head on her neck as they walked.
"San… Sanny… Santana?" she could feel her wife shaking her shoulder, "wake up its Christmas" Brittany did this every year she was like a big kid, Santana was hoping she'd get a lie in this year as she's with child, but obviously that wasn't going to happen, "ok, ok I'm up" she sat up sleepily in the bed and threw her legs over the edge, "I got you present's come on" the blonde whined throwing Santana's robe towards her.
"Aww Britt" Santana stood at the bottom step and looked into the living room which was lit with candles and the Christmas tree lights, "I've been up for a while, I made you breakfast" Santana laughed under her breath slightly at the unexpected nice gesture, she noticed the coffee table full of their usually holiday treats like cinnamon buns and pancakes in the shape of Christmas trees, "So I got you two big present's and five little ones, also there's one for you later but you have to wait" Brittany said with a sly smirk.
Brittany got her wife a variety of gifts, she bought her concert tickets, the new shoes she wanted to go with the new dress she bought her, a bits and pieces, Santana bought her some new dance attire as well as new hair curlers, she also got her some other pieces, "Britt help me zip this up" the Latino called through the bedroom, Brittany dashed through the door and stood behind her "you look hot… as always" the blonde winked standing back to admire her outfit, she was wearing a straight purple dress which had capped sleeves, her shoes where skin colour and her hair was in a high bun, and she wore her traditional bright red lipstick, "thanks, I don't look fat do I?" she was starting to become more conscious of her weight, you could tell she was pregnant as her bump was more noticeable but she hadn't gained wait anywhere else it was all around her stomach, "no you look beautiful" her wife replied placing a reassuring kiss on her lips, Brittany was wearing a tight black skirt with a loose grey short sleeved top, "ok so all the presents are in the car and Rachel just called and asked how long we'd be" Brittany explained, "let's go" Santana pulled on her jacket before leaving the room.
"Merry Christmas!" Rachel sang opening the door, with Arabelle on her hip, "oh my god you look so cute!" Brittany cooed taking the toddler not even acknowledging Rachel, but it was hard not to turn all you attention to the little girl she was wearing a little red dress with cream tights and red shoes with her hair in a little bow, "merry Christmas Rach" Santana hugged her, "how you feeling?" Rachel asked closing the front door, "Good, feeling fatter by the day but good" she replied feeling slightly miserable, "it's worth it" Rachel smiled warmly guiding her into the living room.
Everyone was there: Finn, Quinn, Puck, Blaine, Kurt, Tina, Mike, Jacob and obviously Rachel and Arabelle, "hey merry Christmas" Santana said trying to sound happy, the truth was she was uncomfortable and annoyed, everyone returned her greeting as she placed herself next to Quinn, "you ok?" Quinn whispered noticing her distress "yeah just uncomfortable" she mumbled back, "do you want me to go get you anything?" Quinn new that when a someone who wasn't pregnant told a pregnant person 'it'll get better' made them feel more frustrated so she thought she'd try and help instead, "no I'll be ok" She smiled.
Everyone crowded round to watch the kids open their presents, "dolly!" Arabelle said in the cutest of voices shaking the box, "yeah it's a dolly!" Brittany returned in a childish voice, "thank you for my game" Jacob said from the couch between his parents, "no problem buddy, however I may have to borrow it of you" Brittany replied causing him to giggle, "we got Beth some presents there in the car, you can take them before you leave" Santana looked towards Quinn and Puck, "she's coming over for new year's so keep them if you want and give them to her when we come over" Quinn replied.
"Ok so I have one more present to give" Brittany announced as everyone collected the discarded wrapping paper off the floor, she stood up from next to the little girl and sat on the floor next to her wife who was on the couch, "here" she placed a small white box that had a cream coloured ribbon wrapped around it on her knee, "for me?" Santana said picking it up, "yeah open it" Brittany inched closer to her legs, everyone's eyes were on her, she untied the ribbon and lifted the lid on the box to reveal a beige coloured sheet of tissue paper, she scrunched it up and smiled realising what it was, she lifted the onesie out of the box and read what it said, "I love my mommies" she mumbled with tears in her eyes, "aww Britt" she said kneeling down to kiss her wife.
"Our first piece of baby clothing" Brittany smiled looking around the room, "that's so cute, I remember Jacob wearing those" Tina said in aww, "I was that small" the little boy asked quite stunned, "yep small enough to fit in my arms" Mike said gesturing with his arms, "really?" the boy asked in disbelief causing a few giggles, "yes really… go back to being my baby" Tina wrapped her arm around him and pulled her son close, "I can't I've growed up now" he said smiling proudly.
They had not long finished eating a ridiculous amount of food and decided they were too full to leave the table, "hey guys Beth want's to say hello" Quinn said walking into the dining room with the phone to her ear, she put it on loud speaker and placed it on the table, "Merry Christmas Bethie" Brittany called, "Merry Christmas… Brittany, Santana, Rachel, Finn, Arabelle, Mike, Tina, Jacob, and you dad I think I remembered everybody… oh and baby brittana!" the girl squealed down the phone, causing everyone to laugh, "baby Brittana, I like your style which is much better than your mom's by the way who thought god foetus was a good idea" Santana replied causing another round of laughter, "wow mom your bad at the name game" she giggled "imagine what your name would be if I hadn't of picked" Puck joked getting a playful slap of Quinn in return, "ok well I've got to go, mama says hi by the way" the little girl said, everyone called by into the phone, she was very happy little girl.
"Oh my god it's so cold out here" Santana shuddered with a blanket wrapped around her, "let me in" Brittany walked towards her with two cups of hot chocolate, the Latino removed one side of the blanket and wrapped it around her wife, it was new year's eve and a few minutes before midnight, "I'm so happy" Santana smiled gazing out into the dark back yard, "this year's going to be the best" Brittany said kissing her, "so let's make a deal, this exact time a year today we'll stand in this exact place but we'll have our baby with us" Brittany looked into her eyes, "deal" she smiled back, they stood in the silence and admired the city which was lit by only the nights of the light, it really was going to be an amazing year.
