Month 6
"There?" "No" "there? "No" "there? "No!" Brittany was getting frustrated, she was trying to find the perfect place to put the new picture frame with the baby scans in but Santana's opinion was getting in the way, "Santana where going to be here all day!" her tone annoyed, "but we need to put it in the perfect place" she said innocently not realising what the problem was, "ok well you do it" she placed the frame in her hands and walked towards the kitchen, "Brittttttttt!" she whined stomping like a child.
"Can you go swimming when you're pregnant?" Brittany asked in her wife's direction, "Umm I think so, why?" she always spoke about the most random things at the most random of times, "we should go swimming" she replied before going back to munching on her green apple, "this isn't another one of your 'we should buy an elephant' ideas is it?" Santana asked cautiously, "no but I think we should buy a pool" oh no not this again… "Britt it's February, what are going to do with a pool?" she asked incredulous, "I don't mean for now I mean for the summer, it would take a while to be built anyway" she replied, "we'll see" Santana wondered were Brittany got all her spontaneous ideas from, very odd.
Santana strolled into the living room flicking through the mail "… we should learn to speak French!" Brittany exclaimed, "oh no not again" she mumbled turning back around, "no! I mean I was watching friends re-runs and it was the one were Joey learns to speak French and I was thinking were going to have a baby soon and won't have time to do stuff like this!" she explained standing of the couch, "Britt I'm quite happy being able to speak English… and Spanish" she replied throwing the mail on the arm of the chair, "well I am" she folded her arms over her chest and pulled a face… another very Brittany moment.
"Bonjour ma belle femme!" Brittany squealed walking into the kitchen, "what are you making?" she added "oh so we're speaking English now" Santana's tone sarcastic, "I'm making Chicken Parmesan" she said facing her wife, "ooh Italian you know what we…" she was interrupted suddenly "NO! No more spontaneous ideas, what is with that by the way?" she rambled stirring the pasta, Brittany wasn't as fidgety she toned down slightly and placed herself on a dining chair, "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about when we have the baby, there's a lot of stuff that we're not going to be able to do" Santana smiled at how cute she was acting, she sat opposite her and took one of her hands, "Britt we will still be able to do all that stuff… we don't have to do it all right now, even if we wait for a while, you never know our daughter might actually want to learn another language when she's older" Brittany smiled realising she was right, she was sorry she acted crazy, but knew she had good reason.
"Britt… BRITTANY!" Santana shouted from down the stairs, the blonde rolled over in her bed to see it was only six thirty in the morning, something must be wrong, she jumped out of the bed and practically sprinted down the hall and stairs, she saw Santana standing in the door frame between the kitchen and living room, she had one hand on the wall and one clutching onto her stomach, "it hurts!" she cried, Brittany knew she must be in a lot of pain it wasn't like her to complain if something hurt.
"What's wrong?" the blonde guided her to the couch, "I came to get a glass of wat…" she winced before finishing her sentence, "I think we should go the hospital" Brittany panicked, "no… just call Doctor Cree" she replied still holding her bump, Brittany jumped of the couch and ran to get the house phone, "hello… yeah umm Santana's getting really bad pain… yes… oh ok… no up to now it's only happened like three times but they're just random… ok… I'll call you back later… bye" she placed the phone on the coffee table, "she said she thinks they're Braxton hicks contractions, and that we should wait a while and see if they go away" she explained sitting next to her, "I-I think they might have stopped" she stumbled keeping completely still trying to prevent the pain coming back.
"That was really scary" Santana admitted getting her breathing back to normal, her wife wrapped her arms around her and pulled her closer, "I know but it's ok" she soothed rubbing circles on her back, they sat in silence for a few minutes, "hadn't you better be getting ready for work?" Santana lifted her head of the blondes lap, "I'm… not… going, I'll take a sick day" Santana would usually argue with her but she was actually relieved that she was staying home.
"Why are you home?" Quinn looked up to Brittany as she entered the house, she become accustom to dropping in and checking on Santana every now and then, "this morning" she mumbled stuffing pieces of popcorn in her mouth as they had decided to have a movie day, "what happened?" Quinn replied making herself comfortable next to her, "Braxton hicks" Santana interfered, "oh I had them in my last few months with Beth" she said placing her hand in the bowl, "could have warned me!" Santana snapped giving her an evil glare, "I would have but I didn't get them till half way through my eighth month and you're only six" it went quiet again as they turned their attention to the television, "I'm a solid bad ass an all but it felt like someone stabbing me!" she added making them smirk.
"Morning" the blonde greeted cheerfully placing the last few things in her bag at the kitchen table, "hey… when do you leave?" she sat down, "in a minute" she noticed her miserable tone, "however I've talked Rachel into coming and spending the day with you" she tried to shine a light on the situation, "…ok" was all she said causing Brittany to suffer a miniature heart attack, "are you ok?" she screeched, "yeah why?" she replied through bites of apple, "I expected you to try and kill me, you never usually mind spending time alone with her" she explained, "… I'm bored, I want company and after yesterday I'm still a bit… you know" the blonde smiled sympathetically before kissing her and leaving.
"Aww that's so cute!" Rachel said pointing at the little pink bunny rabbit in the store window, they decided to do some shopping Rachel was pushing a sleeping Arabelle in her stroller and Santana walked beside her, "I like that" the Latino pointed towards the knitted blanket that had ribbons around the edge, "you're so lucky" Rachel said as they carried on walking, "why?" Santana asked curios, "you're at the beginning, you get to go splurge on tiny little dresses and decorate her room" she cooed looking towards her daughter, "you have Belle?" she pulled a face, "I know but just lately I've noticed how quick she's growing up, she actually fed herself the other day! I nearly cried" she said dramatically causing Santana to laugh.
"Wouldn't you and Finn have another?" Santana questioned, she pulled a thinking face, "well he did ask me a couple of weeks ago when we will, but I don't know" she said quickly, "I have to say Berry you guys make really cute babies" Santana giggled looking towards the sleeping toddler, "oh wow a compliment" she replied with a sarcastic tone, "don't get too comfortable she's either going to be abnormally tall or a loud mouth and from the way she screamed her little lungs out most of the time we were in the car the other week, I think we know which one" she said with a smug look on her face.
"Hey how's shopping?" Brittany asked from the Kitchen table were she's on her laptop, but before she could answer she noticed Rachel walk in behind her with Arabelle on her hip and instantly jumped from her chair to take her, "hey baby" she cooed and the little girl just smiled, "hey Rach" she said sitting back in her seat but with the toddler on her knee, "hey Britt, how's things?" she sat opposite her, "good, very good in fact they've nearly finished the redecoration at the studio" she explained with her eyes on the little girl who was pressing random buttons on the key board, "staying for dinner?" she looked up to her, "no I called Finn and he's on his way home" she replied.
"Before you leave; we're looking after Jacob and Beth this weekend, and we'd thought we'd ask if you wanted us to keep Arabelle overnight as well?" Brittany asked standing by the front door, "umm… yeah sure if you don't mind, it'll give me and Finn a night alone" she replied thankful, "awesome can you drop her off early Saturday afternoon then because we're going to take them the zoo" Brittany seemed more excited than the children.
"Wow look at the monkeys!" Jacob currently had his face pressed against the glass of the indoor monkey house, "Oh they're so cool!" Brittany replied like a child kneeling next to him, "My dad says I look like one of those… and a clown pig" Beth revealed causing them to laugh, "just ignore him sweetie he can't say anything have you seen his face?" Santana joked getting a high five of her, "right who's hungry?" Brittany called standing up straight, "…umy" Arabelle cooed, "does that mean yes?" Brittany lifted her from the strolled and set her on her hip, the toddler started clapping causing them all to giggle.
"Ok guys I guys I think it's time we get going" Santana called as they stared towards the elephants, there were a chorus of awe's "Aunt Sanny can we please look at the lizards on the way out?" Jacob pleaded, "Yah aunt Sanny can we?" Brittany repeated winking, "yes I suppose" Santana took the toddler off the blonde and carried her instead while she pushed the stroller, "I don't like lizards" Beth said pulling a disgusted face, "me neither… what about you Belle?" the Latino looked towards the girl who looked stunned, "no" she simply said probably not even knowing what she was talking about.
They soon left the zoo accept this time with an array of zoo memorabilia, three (well four if you count Brittany's) animal balloons, two little animal carved wooden jewellery box's for the girls and a stuffed lizard for Jacob, also Brittany talked Santana into buying the zebra, giraffe and leopard print onsie's because she thought they were so cute, "who wants to make cupcakes?" Brittany asked enthusiastically as they drove up the path, "me" the three kids replied in sync, they tumbled out of the car and ran into the house , "I'm exhausted" Santana moaned carrying Arabelle towards the door, "go take a nap, I'll sort them out" she didn't argue with her, "are you sure?" she said placing the little girl in the high chair, "yes don't worry I'll make dinner as well" she smiled, "I love you" she called from the staircase, making the blonde smile.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room, it was dark the only light was coming from the hall where the door was slightly open, she could hear singing; it sounded like Brittany and Beth she could also hear a few lines of Jacob every now and then and a few giggles from Belle, the clock said she'd been asleep for nearly two hours as it was nearly seven, she sat up in bed and swung her legs over the side, she pulled her cardigan on and made her way out of the room.
As she walked down the stairs the singing became louder and she could now hear music in the back ground, she stood where they couldn't see her and observed the scene, Brittany was dancing around the kitchen holding Belle, the other two kids followed her and sang the song every now and then, it was very cute, "hey" Santana blurted out entering their sight, "hi… we didn't wake you up did we?" they stopped dancing, but the children couldn't help but giggle, "no not at all… what have guys been doing?" she lowered onto a chair and pulled the little boy onto her knee, "we made chocolate cup cake's, Aunt B said they were your favourites" he giggled, "Bitee!" Arabelle squealed causing them to laugh, "Brit-ney" Beth corrected, smiling to her.
"Hey are they behaving?" Quinn had called to check on them, "they've been great" Santana replied, "what are you doing?" she added
"Puck took me to dinner at this very nice fancy restraunt…"
"About time" she laughed, "is Beth ok?" she asked, "she's fine, acting like an angel as always" that caught Beth's attention, "wait a minute" she said before passing the phone to the girl, "hello… hey mom… yes we went the zoo and made cupcakes… yes I'll call mama… ok I will, tell daddy I say good night… bye mom… love you too" she passed the phone back to her adopted aunt, "ok well again thanks for looking after, and if you guys need anything call" Quinn said, "ok bye" "bye"
"Ok we have a large selection, there's: Nemo, Shrek, wizards of Oz and the Goonies" Brittany read aloud, "What's the goonies?" Jacob gave a confused look, "I can't believe you've never saw the Goonies, that's what we're watching" Santana interfered, they all cuddled onto the couch it went Beth who had a large bowl of popcorn on her knee, then Santana who had Arabelle pulled into her side, then Jacob who had a bag of candy attached to his hands then Brittany.
The movie hadn't even been on for an hour before they fell asleep, Beth had her head leant on Santana's shoulder and Arabelle was leaning into her other side, Jacob had his head on Brittany's lap and was in a deep sleep, "looks like we tried them out" she giggled quietly, "I knew it wouldn't take long before they'd conk out, we better move them" Santana stood up gently and picked up Arabelle with her she shook Beth awake and guided her up the stairs, while Brittany carried Jacob, the two older children were staying in the king size bed in the guest room, where as Arabelle was sleeping in the travel cot in their room, they tucked them in and kissed them goodnight before leaving them to sleep, "they look so cute when there sleeping" Brittany said in awe, "… I know" Santana wrapped her arm around her wife's waste and walked down the stairs, content they had done a good job babysitting.
They asked everyone to stay for lunch when they pick the kids up the next day, "hey, where are they it's too quiet?" Quinn said removing her scarf in the hallway, "Brittany's playing some ball game in the backyard with them" Santana replied, "How did last night go? Did they sleep?" Puck questioned, "Yeah they were great we put a movie on and they were asleep within the hour" Quinn exhaled in relief she knew how Beth could be when she wasn't tired.
"Hey" Beth soon entered the house from the back and walked straight towards her parents, "have you had fun?" Puck said pulling the girl onto his knee, "yep we had lots of fun" she said with a smile, "there was no arguing was there?" Quinn asked but was interfered by the Latino, "Quinn stop asking questions they were perfect, no arguing… except maybe a heated debate about the word Bitee!" she exclaimed, causing Arabelle to instantly turn her head, "Bitee!" she squealed making them laugh, "knock, knock" Finn and Rachel entered the room, "the door was open, hey baby girl" she cooed reaching down for her daughter of the floor, "did you have fun?" she kissed her forehead, "mama…" was all she said before burying her head into her mother's shoulder.
Mike and Tina soon arrived, "how's the Braxton hicks?" Quinn piped up through the conversation, "ok I suppose still scary" she admitted, "Santana Lopez scared, woah" Puck joked getting a well-deserved punch in the arm of Quinn, "you try carrying another human being around in you for nine months" she mumbled giving him an evil glare, Puck looked towards the other two men for back up, "sorry dude I'm siding with the ladies on this one" Mike said putting his hands in the air, "same, when Rachel had them she felt the same" Finn added, Puck deflated slightly in his seat.
"I can't believe you're in your last trimester already, before you know it she'll be here" Tina said, they had just finished eating but where still sitting at the table, "I know it's crazy" Brittany mumbled as she thought, "sticking with the name you decided on?" Rachel interfered, "yeah… we're going to paint it in her room" she replied excited about the thought, "still not telling us" Quinn grumbled, "for all we know they could be having a boy" Puck added, making them laugh; it was a very Puck thing to say.
"I can assure you we're not having a boy…" Santana replied in a sarcastic tone raising her eyebrows, "give us a clue on her name" Rachel asked, "no!" Brittany was feeling very powerful, "oh come on" she whined, "ok… it mean's little delight" everyone awed but Quinn who pulled her phone out and began typing, "what are you doing?" Santana asked incredulous, "seeing what name means little delight" she said her eyes glued to her phone, everyone waited for her to find out, "… all's it came up with was a dessert!" she screeched, making them laugh.
"Thank you" Beth wrapped her arms around Santana's waist as they stood in the hallway, "it was our pleasure" she joked, "your tummies moving" she took a step back and had a confused look on her face, Brittany burst out laughing as did Puck and Quinn, "it's the baby kicking… do you want to feel?" the Latino replied holding out her hand, she cautiously put her hand on hers where she placed it onto her stomach, the little girls eyes widened feeling her kick, "wow that is so cool" she looked up to her smiling parents, "I want a little brother or sister, but mama's too old" she giggled making them laugh again, "you never know" she looked up to Puck and Quinn who attempted to act busy not wanting to start a baby conversations with their eleven year old.
Later that day they left the house to go to their six month doctor's appointment, "how are things?" Doctor Cree asked pulling up a chair, "good… as you can see I'm getting fat" she joked gesturing towards her stomach, "… the sickness has near enough stopped completely, but the problem now is that I have to pee every five minutes" she finished, "well firstly you're actually on the smaller side for six months pregnant" that caused her to smile "and I'm glad the sickness stopped" she added pouring the cold gel onto her stomach, "so what we should see now is the babies features developing much more, she'll look more like a baby" her eyes on the screen, she moved the probe around her stomach until she found the perfect spot.
"There she is" she told them typing something into the key board, "she measures well, I'm pretty sure when she's born she'll be between seven and a half to eight pounds, maybe even a bit more" she smiled, "but she's definitely a she?" Santana had been dying to ask, "definitely a she" the doctor assured nodding, "I'll be back in a minute" she left the room, "where did that come from?" the blonde giggled astounded, "nothing just after what Puck said I thought we should double check" this just made her wife laugh even more.
"Chocolate covered pretzels with blueberry jelly… nice combination, Brittany watched as she picked, "not as bad as the peanut butter and pickles I ate this morning" she replied, "Pregnant women… so odd" the blonde joked walking out of the kitchen, "hay! It's the baby who wants it not me" she shouted after her, "… sure" she said from the top of the stairs, they both smiled, they had a very odd relationship at times, hopefully their daughter can even it out a little.
