Month 5

"And we get to see your little face, and hands and…" Brittany lay spread across the bed with her head to Santana's growing belly, "Britt what are you doing?" Santana dropped her book and gave her wife a funny look, "telling he or she that we'll get to see them later" she explained casually, "err… ok" she picked her book back up and leaned it against her growing stomach, she found it sweet that her wife spoke to their baby, it was very Brittany.

"I'm so excited!" the blonde wouldn't keep still on the car ride to the hospital, Santana actually convinced her to let her drive because she didn't trust her at this moment in time, "boy or girl?" the Latino asked trying to calm her, "umm… I don't mind either" she announced her voice still filled with excitement, "do you know what he or she is? Most pregnant woman have a feeling and they're usually right" she rambled, "I told you I'm not sure but I'm leaning towards a girl" she admitted with a smile imagining their daughter, "imagine having a daughter…"

"So did you guys have a nice Christmas?" Doctor Cree pulled her chair up to the bed where Santana was lying and Brittany stood beside her, "it was great thanks, you?" Santana asked, "yes actually I got to see my grandbaby" she said with a warming smile, "anyway the big question… do you want to find out the sex?" she asked full of enthusiasm, "yes." Brittany jumped at no longer able to hold it in.

"Heart beats strong, all growth seems to be on target" the doctor mumbled while moving the probe around her bump, "so… you are having… a girl congratulations" Brittany instantly leaned down and kissed her wife, they were both over joyed and had tears streaming down their face, "were going to have a daughter" Brittany reassured herself looking into her wife's eyes, "our little girl" Santana gazed back and gently placed her hand at the top of her bump, they had never been so happy.

Once they left the hospital they decided to go and Skype Santana's parents and tell them the good news, "my girls how are you? How's my grandchild?" Mrs Lopez asked sitting next to her husband on the screen, "Well mom you can officially say granddaughter" Santana announced sharing the same smile as her wife, "oh my god! We get a granddaughter!" both parent had tears in their eyes, overjoyed with the news, "yep we can't wait" the blonde joined in, "I'm so proud of both you girls, I love you very much" Mr Lopez directed at both of them wiping a tear from his eye, causing a hormonal Santana to start crying, "tears of joy" she reassured with a giggle.

"Guess what?" Brittany practically jumped on Quinn's back as soon as she entered the house, "what?" she replied walking into the kitchen where Santana was sitting, "guess?" Quinn sat opposite her while Brittany went and sat next to her, "you're moving?" she tried to play along but her lack of enthusiasm wasn't so convincing, "nope… we know what the baby is" she teased, "tell me!" she screeched with despair in her eyes, "oh so now you want to talk to me" Brittany joked sinking back in her chair and folding her arms, "Santana tell me!" she decided to beg her instead, "sorry no can do I promised her I wouldn't say a word" she mumbled typing on her laptop.

"Ok… well give me a clue?" she had finally given up on the begging, "no you'll have to wait like everyone else" Brittany had gone slightly power crazy, "I'm one of your best friends don't I get some sort of…" she hinted, "no." the blonde replied stubbornly, "ok well I don't want to know!" she announced as Santana closed her laptop and pushed it to the side, "oh ok… well we can tell Tina to keep Jacob's old clothes" Brittany looked towards her wife, "I said I didn't want to know!" Quinn screeched, "but we didn't tell you" the blonde gave a sly smirk and waited for her to figure it out, they watched as her facial expression turned from anger to happiness in a matter of seconds "oh my god you're having a girl!" she squealed jumping of her chair and walking around the table to hug them, "I'm so happy for you" she followed sitting on the edge of the table between the two women, with the biggest grin plastered across her face.

Santana was really starting to show now, her stomach was bigger but also more rounder, she dashed into the kitchen wearing grey sweatpants with a black short sleeved top, "no morning sickness!" she said with delight throwing her hands in the air, "good morning to you to" Brittany replied still chewing on a bagel with a cup of coffee in her hand, the Latino inched closer to the kitchen unit and leaned against it, "first time I haven't woke up feeling sick or being sick in… I actually don't remember the last time I was woke up puke free" she explained.

"So today I have to go by the dance school to do some paper work for the redecorating then I'll meet you back here and we can go for dinner" Brittany said, they decided at the beginning of the pregnancy that it was best if Santana worked from home she only left for work business if she really had to, "ok" Santana replied sipping her water.

"Uh…" Santana's eyes grew wide and she froze in her place, "babe what's wrong does it hurt?" Brittany instantly dropped her half eaten bagel, and placed her hands on her wife's arms, but she didn't reply she just grabbed one and placed it onto her stomach with hers on top, "come on" she mumbled under her breath, and then she felt it, the most amazing feeling of all their daughter was kicking, "oh my god!" Brittany squealed in the most high pitched voice, she engulfed her wife into a hug being careful of the large bump, "that's amazing" she said full of excitement, "it feels so weird" the Latino said with a smirk.

"Why do we have so many baby name books?" Santana asked gawping at the large pile on the coffee table, "you can never have to many options" Brittany replied flicking one open… they spent over an hour flicking through all of them but not one felt right for their baby, they were currently opening random pages and saying the first name they saw trying to suppress their boredom, "Annabelle" the blonde said, "no it sounds too much like Arabelle" Santana replied, but a sudden look of interest crossed her face, "what?" Brittany jumped at in despair hoping she'd found the one, "I think I've found it…"

"It's perfect…" Brittany looked into her wife's eyes in awe, "it means little delight" the Latino smiled, "it's so pretty, we could paint it on the wall in her room" Brittany suggested, "what colours are we going to use?" Santana questioned, "Leave it to me" her wife replied with a devilish grin, she knew she was up to something.

It was the second week in January and they decided to go away for the weekend, "road trip!" Quinn chanted entering the house with the her husband, the Hudson and the Chang clan behind her, "if we were in college" Santana snapped in a sarcastic tone following Brittany into the hall, "lighten up a little" Puck said playfully hugging her from behind, "where's Beth?" Brittany asked, "Shelby's dropping her off she should be here and minute now" Quinn said fidgeting in excitement.

"Knock, knock" Shelby pushed open the already open door to see everyone standing in the hall, she was carrying a small baby pink sports bag and Beth was behind her, "hey" everyone greeted, "na…na" Arabelle cooed holding her arms out, "hey baby girl" Shelby replied reaching over for the toddler, ever since college Rachel's relationship grown with her mother, they agreed it was best for both of them and Arabelle, "were getting there with the names, huh?" she said towards the little girl, "we've been trying to get her to say everyone's, Belle who's that?" Finn said pointing to Quinn, "…Kin" she replied proudly causing everyone to laugh, "She's so cute" Tina giggled, "If you think that's cute… who are they Belle?" Finn said pointing to Santana and Brittany "… Sananana" everyone burst into a fit of laughter including Santana, "… Bitee" the little girl relaxed into her grandma's shoulder with a smug look on her face, proud she could make them laugh like that.

They rented a bigger car to get them to their destination, Puck and Finn volunteered to do all the driving as it would take around seven hours in all so they sat up front, then behind them sat Rachel, Beth and Quinn with Arabelle in her car seat between them, then behind them sat Tina, Mike and Jacob, and the last two seats were occupied by Brittany and Santana who was currently sleeping.

"Belle sweetie stop you're hurting mommy" Rachel tried to calm the fussy girl, "mama" she whined with tears gushing down her face, they were four hours into their journey and it was eight at night, she was over tired and refused to nap "I know you're not happy are you" Rachel soothed rubbing the back of her hand, nearly everyone else had fell asleep accept for Puck, Finn, Quinn and Mike, "Do you want some juice?" she was doing everything she could to calm her, "no!" the little girl screeched, "shall we make a pit stop" Finn turned in his chair, "err… yeah if that's ok" Rachel replied in between picking up the toys that Arabelle had threw, "I second that, I have to pee… again" they heard Santana call from the back of the car.

Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Beth and Tina where walking back to the car, it was quiet and dark, Rachel stood by the door with a sleeping Arabelle close to her chest swaying her from side to side, "aww she's all tuckered out" Quinn cooed stroking the toddlers cheek, "I'm glad she's asleep the next stage of over tiredness is usually scream her lungs out" she laughed slightly, "you ok?" Brittany asked her wife from the side, "yeah she's kicking a lot" she winced placing her hand on her stomach, "she?" Tina swivelled round on her heels, everyone soon turned their attention to them, "yeah… we found out we're having a girl last week" Brittany grinned wrapping her arms around her wife's waste.

Everyone instantly started congratulating them, "we were going to wait to tell you... but my brains all over the place" Santana admitted climbing back into the vehicle to get to her original seat, "have you decided on a name yet?" Mike asked, "Yes…" they got a chorus of awe's, "but we're not telling" Santana said with a sly grin, getting a bunch of groans in return, "ok well tell us what the first letter is?" Quinn said looking out of the window as they drove away "nope you'll find out when she's born" Brittany teased feeling powerful.

They arrived at their condo for the weekend just before midnight, the previously tired kids had livened up as soon as the car stopped, the adults grabbed the bags, and Beth held Arabelle next to Jacob waiting for them to come and open the door, "come on already" they whined stomping their feet, Arabelle found it quite amusing and started to clap, "you excited Belle?" Rachel said in a childish tone putting the key into the door, she opened it and switched the lights on to reveal the large living room, "woah" both Beth and Jacob said, the room was huge and the ceiling were high, and before they knew it everyone had left to explore.

"Morning" Santana greeted cheerfully as she entered the kitchen were the rest of the adults were standing, she got a chorus of mornings in return as she slid onto one of the stools, "what's on the agenda?" She asked her eyes scanning the morning paper, "We were thinking of taking the kids on this tree top jungle course thing…" Quinn said in between sips of coffee, "which I know you can't do" she followed in realisation, "it's ok I'll stay and make dinner for when you get back" Santana honestly wasn't that bothered, she was feeling tired from a restless night anyway so some peace and quiet seemed appealing.

They genuinely couldn't stop laughing, they were having the best time walking through the forest and going on the zip wires, "Belle look watch mommy!" Brittany tried to catch the little girls attention as she sat on her shoulders, Rachel climbed across one of the rope bridges in the air squealing the whole time causing her daughter to giggle, "She's silly isn't she?" Brittany said, getting an innocent smile in return.

"Mom… Mom look!" Quinn looked from tree to tree trying to find her daughter, she soon noticed her standing at the top of the zip line, "I'm watching" she assured, the little girl slid down the wire clinging on to the rope the whole time, until Puck caught her and unclipped her belt, "did you see? Did you see me?" she ran towards her mother with her arms in the air, "I did, you're so brave" she replied kissing her forehead, "why don't you have a go?" she looked towards her face, "… err I'm scared" she blurted out, "but Rachel did it?" Beth said in disbelief, "hey!" Rachel joked being offended causing them to laugh.

Santana had started dinner, she was making Lasagne when her phone started vibrating, "hello?" she answered, "hey babe" it was Mercedes

"Oh hey Cedes, sup?"

"Nothing much thought I'd give you a call and see how the babies doing"

"She's doing great…" she waited for her to figure it out, "she! Oh my god you're having a girl! Congratulations" she squealed, "thank you, we found out last week" she replied, they talked for a few minutes mostly about the baby and the condo, they agreed she'd come over from Los Angeles around Easter for when the babies born.

"Hello?" Brittany called from the hall, they removed their coats and shoes and walked towards the Kitchen, "hey, did you have fun?" Santana replied walking down the stairs towards the crowd of people, "it was SO much fun, we did zip wires!" Beth shouted full of enthusiasm, "well I'm glad" she replied with a smile, the two older children ran up the stairs to go play and Finn placed a sleeping Arabelle on the couch to finish her nap, and the adults sat around the table, "so what have you been up to?" her wife questioned,

"Nothing much, I spoke to Mercedes she said she's coming over for when the babies born"

"That's so weird…"

"What is?" Santana replied incredulous, "we're talking about our daughter being born!" it made Santana laugh at how childlike Brittany became when she was excited, she just giggled under her breath, "only sinking in now?" Mike looked up, "no… it won't sink in till she's here" she replied in awe.

Not long after dinner was ready and everyone crowded around the table, "how are you doing that?" Brittany was shocked watching Rachel feed her daughter without a dot leaving her mouth, "what?" she wasn't sure, "remember when we babysat?" Rachel began to laugh realising, "oh and you sent me that picture!" she replied, "yah! I literally got was covered in tomato pasta"

"The trick is to not put the bowl anywhere near her; otherwise it usually ends up on the floor… like when Finn feeds her"

"Hey my feeding technique is much more fun than mommy's isn't it Belle?" Finn interfered smiling towards his daughter, "yes and much more messy" Rachel added, "where are you going?" Brittany looked up to Santana, "bathroom?" she looked annoyed. "Are you ok?" Quinn asked as she returned, "yes I'm fine" but she didn't sound too convincing…

"Hey tell me what's wrong?" they just finished dinner and Brittany ran down the hall to catch up with her wife, "nothing… I'm just" she was lost for words, but Brittany knew, "bored, frustrated, uncomfortable?" the blonde suspected, "you read my mind" she looked miserable, "how about tomorrow we spend the day doing things you want to do?" she suggested trying to lighten the mood, "like what?" she said placing herself on the bed, "we could go shopping or go for a walk, the forest we went to today was really nice" she lay beside her wife and wrapped her arms around her waist, they fell into a comfortable silence… "I love you" Santana piped up, "I love you too… and you" she looked towards her stomach and gently placed a kiss on it.

"Am I still sexy?" Santana asked admiring her body as they changed the next day, "off course" Brittany replied, Santana just grumbled unconvinced, "I don't feel it" she exhaled, "I actually find you even sexier when you're pregnant" Santana smiled at how she was trying to make her feel better, and went back to picking an outfit, she decided to wear something simple: jeans, boots and a tight black top to go under her leather jacket.

They decided to go on a long walk, they went through the forest and were currently walking along the side of the lake, the view was amazing, Brittany linked her arm around Santana's, "why don't we come here more often?" the blonde asked, "because it's seven hours away, but I know what you mean… it's lovely" they went back to gazing over the lake towards the mountain in the distance, "we should bring our daughter here" Brittany smiled patting her stomach, "we should" she returned the smile, "… we should build a swimming pool"

"Where did that come from?" Santana asked giving her a stunned look, "it's going to be summer again soon and all kids like swimming" she explained casually, "it's like me saying we should buy an elephant… all kids like elephants!" she exclaimed sarcastically, it went quiet… "An elephant would be cool though" Brittany burst out getting a playful slap of her wife in return.

"Hello?" Tina peeped her head into the kitchen to be greeted by the rest of the clan, "hey we're have you been?" Santana directed at the family of three while they removed her coats, "we found a winter market about thirty minutes away, but the stuff there was so weird, we brought some back" Tina replied placing a large bag on the table, everyone became suddenly interested and turned their attention to her, "so firstly we have… Reindeer!" she placed a white plastic bag on the table, "ew!" Quinn squealed, "I want to try it" Mike added, "You have no chance." Rachel said going back to her laptop, "I'll try it" Puck said, "yeah me too" both Brittany and Finn joined in, they looked towards Santana, "I am not letting my child consume Rudolph!" she said circling her stomach with her hand causing everyone to laugh, "Mommy said it wasn't Rudolph!" Jacob screeched… oh crap.

"I'm happy to be home" Brittany said slouching into her bed, "yeah me too" Santana said but her attention was on the book she was reading, "What are you reading?" the blonde became interested, "what to expect when you're expecting… how cliché!" she giggled, "anything interesting?" her wife replied getting comfortable under the covers, "not really… just some disturbing pictures from birth" she said pulling a disgusted face, "gross… anyway I'm tired, goodnight" she leaned up and kissed her, before lowering slightly "night, night baby" she placed a gentle kiss on her bump and lay back down.

Only four more months to go…
