Month 7
"Where are we going?" Santana whined from the passenger seat, "it's a surprise..." Brittany trailed off, she'd was awoken at seven in the morning and told to get ready, she found the overnight bags Brittany had packed but she wouldn't say where she was taking her, "Britt come on tell me... you know i hate surprises?" she said getting more adgitated, "were're nearly there, quit whining" Brittany smirked at how impatient she was, she hoped their daughter didn't inherit it. "And we are?" the blonde stopped the car opposite a giant lake in the woods, "were staying in that little cottage, right over there" she pointed out of the left side of the vehicle, Santana still didnt look to impressed, "I know this is a nice gesture an all... but why?" she tried to put her confusion as gentle as possible, "you have been really stressed lately and I thought the night away would do you some good" she replied with a warming smile, she was right the latino was secretly thrilled.
Brittany insisted she get all the bags and take them into the small cottage considering Santana was huge, her walk was officially a waddle and her stomach was swollen and round, the cottage was small but pretty, "so?..." Santana looked towards her wife once they finished exploring, "well it's only mid day so I thought we could go for a walk then go to dinner" Brittany suggested fiddling with the zipper on her tote bag, "yeah sure i'm just going to change it's so warm" Santana said before pulling her long summer dress from the bag and her light jacket, being pregnant made her body feel like it is at constant oven temperature.
Brittany had been acting weird, she was up to something... every hour or so she'd get a phone call and she kept stuttering, what was she doing?
"I can't wait till summer" the blonde told with her arm linked around her wifes as they strolled down the gravel path, "me too..." Santana followed, she was enjoying the peace and quiet, she heard Brittany's mobile vibrate, "hello... err yeah... I can't... I really can't... ok speak to you later... bye" she quickly shoved the phone back in her pocket, "who was that?" the latino questioned, "no one" the blonde blurted out trying to avoid eye contact, Santana shrugged it off as nothing she was enjoying herself too much and wasn't going to get worried for no reason.
"Moose!" Brittany shouted as they approached the cottage, it was going dark and they were on their way back from dinner, "... I'm sure that is a dear!" Santana giggled,"are you sure?" the blonde said incredulous, "how do I know?" she shrugged, "I want to touch it" Brittany said getting closer, "Britt don't go near it, it could be vicous!" Santana snapped with a sarcastic laugh, "a killer moose..." Brittany giggled, such a Brittany thing to say. "Here moosey moosey" Brittany gently clapped her hands trying to catch the animals attention while her wife stood hysterically laughing behind her "it's looking at you asif to say 'what the fuck?'" she said between giggles, "we should take a picture" Brittany suggested retrieving her camera from her shoulder bag, she took a couple of pictures before walking up the small path to the front door, "thank you" Santana placed a loving kiss on her lips, "my pleasure" Brittany smirked.
"When are we leaving?" it was early Sunday morning and they were currently sitting at the dining table, "probably around mid day..." the blonde replied taxting on her phone,Santana was becoming more suspicous, and nosey... "I feel so fat, I belong with that flock of ducks that live across the lake... they waddle" Santana joked,
Brittany couldn't help but laugh "you're not fat, you're pregnant and in my opinion even more beautiful!" she soothed, "you're just saying that" she replied with a pout, "I'm really not" she assured, she walked over to her and kneeled down next to her chair and placed her hand on her adomen, "our baby" she gazed.
"Why do you seem so... fidgety?" Santana said observing her driving wife, "no I'm not." Brittany jumped at, they turned into their driveway and Santana noticed something, everyone else's car was here, "Britt whats going on?" she looked towards her wife but she didn't answer she just got out of the car and walked round to her side and helped her out, "Britt?" she repeated but all's the blonde did was smile...
They entered the house and an instant aroma of fresh paint floated towards their nose and Santana figured what was going on, the blonde guided her up the stairs towards the spair room where everyone was standing: Rachel, Finn, Puck, Quinn, Blaine, Kurt, Mike and Tina and the kids, "Hey" Santana smile getting a chorus of excited hellos in return, "ok so want to see your surprise?" Quinn couldn't keep still, "err... sure" the latino was confused, "one thing, her name will be in there, only Puck knows right now because he did it, I wouldn't tell Quinn because she can't hold her own water!" Brittany explained getting a glare of the other blonde in return,
"so is it ok if everyone finds out now?" her wife asked, Santana was still in slight shock and just nodded, she looked up to the door which had been painted white and had 'babies room' on pink wooden letters on the door, that was enough to make Santana want to cry.
Puck gently opened the door to what looked like heaven, the wall's were a pastel pink/peach colour, and the floor was white wood, there was an oval shaped crip to the right by the window it was also white wood like the rest of the furniture, but it had pastel pinkl netting drapped over the top, on the other side of the room was the closet and changing table, there were white book shelves on the wall and a rocking chair in the corner, "oh my god!" Quinn sqeauled pointing to the pastel green coloured letters that hung above the window from ribbon, "Eden Taylor Lopez-Peirce" She cooed, "that's so cute" Tina said with tears in her eyes, "baby Eden" Finn and Rachel said in sync, "you like?" Brittany practically whispered into her gawping wifes ears, she wrapped her arms around her "I love" she replied choking back tears, "thank you" she turned to all of them and began to hug them one by one, it really was beautiful, good enough for baby Eden...
"Are you guys going to stay for dinner?" Brittany asked wiping the tears from hers and her other halfs face, "we'd love to" Quinn replied for them as most couldn't snap from their gaze at the cuteness at the moment, "how was last night?" Rachel piped up as they left the room and made their way down stairs, "it was good..." "we saw a moose" Brittany added like an excited child, "a moose?" Finn looked curious, "... or a dear, we weren't sure" she explained, "we saw my people" Santana said sitting at the dining table, she got a few incredulous looks and Brittany giggled "ducks" she added as they began to laugh, "you look great for a seven month pregnant women, when i was pregnant with Jacob i could just about move and my ankles looked like elephants" Tina said, the latino genuinley smiled at the comment she felt a little reasured, "i can't see my ankles... i like my ankles"
"Whens the baby coming?" Beth looked up to her adopted aunt's from the opposite side of the table, "well shes due May 17th but she could be early or late I suppose" Brittany explained geeting a slight glare of Santana, "please come on time baby, or even a couple days early ain't going to harm nobody" she spoke towards her stomach placing her hands on it gently, "did i come on time?" Beth directed at Quinn, "ha no. one month early, you decided you wanted to make your appearence on the day of regionals just after we performed" Quinn giggled, her daughter smiled cheekily "but you're glad you had me, right?" well that wasn't expected... "off course"
Puck interfered noticing the change in atmosphere, "why would you think different?" Quinn asked leaning over and pulling her to her side, "I don't know, it's just I have two moms, theres mama" she looked to Rachel who just smiled, "then theres mom" she looked back to Quinn "but I have one dad... and it's confusing" since she was getting older they expected the questions to start soon, but a little warning would have been nice.
"... and then theres Rachel" she continued "are you my sister? or what? its weird to think you're my sister because you're friends with my mom and your her age and..."she sighed in frustration, Quinn placed her hands on her shoulders, "hey it's ok to want to know but it's complicated" she said hoping there'd be no more questions,the little girl just sat back in her chair leaning against her mom looking slightly deflated. awkward.
"Who wants ice cream?" Brittany squealed enthusiastically hoping the kids would lighten up, "me!" the two older children shouted, "mememememe" Arabelle sang banging her baby book on her high chair, "thats my girl... singing and you're not even two" Rachel cooed making them laugh, "don't become a stage mom Rach" Santana said said "I'm not going to be a stage mom... but it would be nice if she'd sing" she replied her eyes directed at her adorable smiling daughter, "I can't believe shes two in a few months" Finn interfered, "I know feels like yesterday she was born... I want you to stay as a baby" Rachel said tickling her chin, "they're more fun when there toddlers...well except the fact once they learn to run theres no stopping them" Mike chuckled, "baby gates" Tina added.
They all left not long after and the couple decided to go have another look around the room, "so this is why you had all those mysterious phone calls?" Santana said going through the draw of neatly folded baby clothes, "yeah..." the blonde giggled, "it really is beautiful... I can't belive you kept a secret though" Brittany swivelled on her heals and raised her eyebrows, "hey I am great at keeping secrets!" she screeched, the latino just laughed, "huh? you can talk remeber when Quinn told you she thought Tina was pregnant, I think it took you only five minutes to tell most of the family!" she said watching her keel over slightly while still laughing...
She straightened up and took a couple of steps towards her wife, "you said family?" she smiled in awe, "yah... they're our family" she replied kissing her gently on the lips,
Santana started to feel the familiar flutter in her stomach, just lately it seemed much more intense, she winced at the pain and shakily held onto her wifes arms,
"hey are you ok?" Brittany worried guiding her to the new rocking chair, "yeah she's just kicking a lot" she tried to give a reasurring smile but knew she was failing,
they waited in silence for a minute until Santana could sit up straight, "we good?" the blonde asked knealing next to her, "yes she's stopping" she relaxed slightly, "we can officially refer to her as Eden now, not baby or she" Brittany said tapping her fingers on her wife's stomach "do you think they like her name?" Santana replied,
"they loved it, Tina was actually crying! however when's Tina not crying" they laughed, "Eden Taylor Lopez-Peirce... has a nice ring to it" Santana said looking towards the letters that hung from the ceiling...
They decided not to use any names of their friends for their daughter, they thought it would be unfair if they had Rachel and not Quinn or Tina or the other way round.
So today they were going to look for a stroller and car seat at the baby store, "I hate coming to these places, I want to buy one of everything" Brittany mumbled as they entered through the automatic doors, "what colour are we getting?" Santana asked eying the Pink Car seat before her "Whatevers pretty" the blonde said like a child in a candy store, they walked down the next isle and stood infront of four seats, one was Plain pastel pink and came in other colours one was paisley purple and pink, the other was an apple green and pink colour and the last was a baby blue and pink that had little bunches of flowers all over, "so..." who knew it could be so hard picking out a car seat?
They decided on the plain pastel pink one as it pretty much goes with anything, the stroller they got was pretty similar the cushioned inside was the same pink, but the outside was grey and black plastic. "ooh baby booties!" Brittany awed at the abnormally small white shoes in front of her, "I'm starving" Santana muttered looking bored, "how can you seem so unhappy in a baby store, it's like saying pandas aren't cute" Santana sometimes wondered where she got these things from?
"Britt I'm just tired and standing up for too long makes my legs hurt" she whined leaning against the shelf, "ok ok lets go" she pulled a sad face before linking her arm around her wife's, "what now?" she asked shoving the last of the boxes into the car "food" her eyes widened at the thought. "You're pulling the 'I think I'm going to puke'
face?" Brittany observed her change as they sat in the living room, "no... Eden's kicking hard and I've just ate" she explained shifting uncomfortabley, "why don't you go lie down?" the blonde suggested, "no." she snapped back, mood swing.
"Oh my god!" she fidgeted on the couch, "babe seriously I'll lie with you if you want?" she felt sympathetic but slightly scared she'd lash out at the same time, "no!
I'm fine" she shouted leaving her wife stunned, "I'm sorry" she cried randomly, wow Brittany thought she was actually getting used to this... "It's ok" she soothed placing herself beside her and pulling her close, "I'm being horrible to you" she had tears rolling down her face, "no you're not, you're just uncomfortable" she said, "... will you lie with me?" she piped up calming down slightly, "off course" Brittany stood up and pulled her wife up with her, she wrapped one arm around her waste and made their way up the stairs, they lay facing eachover Brittany placed her hand on her bump every now and then and watched as her wife's eyes started to droop within a matter of minutes, Santana had always been cranky when she was tired but she was like a child and didn't like to admit when she was, however she found it quite cute, she loved just sitting and watching her sleep peacefully, she was beautiful and she couldn't wait to have a daughter who looked the exact same.
"Girls day!" Quinn exclaimed entering the house with around five large bags in tow, Santana and Brittany had invited: Quinn, Beth, Rachel, Arabelle, Tina and Marley over for a day of nail painting and chick flicks, "whats in the bags?" Santana asked curious from the couch, "well I've dedicated each bag to something different theres one for ice cream which includes just about every flavour you could possibly think of and theres a few other snacks in there, then theres one for nail polish and beauty bits then theres dvds and the other two have random stuff in!" she explained all enthusiastically, Beth stood behind her pouting with her arms folded "yeah and she dragged me to every store to find all this stuff" she did not look to amused.
"What movie?" Santana said with her legs crossed going through the bag, Brittany was painting Beth's nails while Tina did Rachels and Quinn sat on the floor with Arabelle and Marley, "any" Quinn said with her attention on the littlest girl, "mama" the toddler sqeauled looking towards Rachel, "what?" she cooed back, Arabelle didn't say anything she just started to giggle innocently, she was at that age were she was very attention seeking... like Rachel.
"Mom you should have a baby" Beth exclaimed from on the floor, "thought we had this discussion a couple of weeks ago?" she raised her eyebrows at her daughters suggestion,
"I know but it would be so cool to have a brother or sister... no offense Rachel" she added making them laugh, "it's ok" she assured "yeah Beth you can't just magic up a baby it takes a while" Quinn said, Beth just sighed "but it would be cool to have another one of me" she grinned, "not modest at all" Quinn joked, "however I do agree, so you'll just have to wait and see" Quinn teased.
"So?" Brittany had been dying to get Quinn on her own all afternoon so when the rest of the women decided to take a trip to the store to restock on supplies she practically jumped at her,"so what?" Quinn asked looking up from her magazine "about what you said to Beth?" she said slightly annoyed at her lack of interest "what did I say to Beth?" she said acting innocent, "don't play dumb! I am the queen of dumb and I know you're lying" she exclaimed, but all's Quinn did was laugh, "Quinn!" she practically demanded her attention, "ok ok listen up..." she placed down the magazine and sat cross legged opposite the other blonde on the couch, "so remember I talked to you back in September" Brittany nodded "and I said about how Puck wanted to have a baby, well just before christmas we decided we weren't going to 'try' for a baby we were just going to stop ... you know" Brittany nodded again but much more enthusiastically this time, "so... I-I think I'm pregnant" and with that Brittany completely exploded, "OH MY GOD!"
she squealed through the whole house jumping up and down like a teenage girl...
"I'm so happy for you" Brittany said engulfing her into a hug, Quinn just giggled slightly, "well I'm not a hundred percent yet" she added, "so why do you think you are?" Brittany asked calming down a little in her seat, "I should have got my period two weeks ago" "and you've not taken a test?" Brittany asked incredulous, she just shook her head, "but why?" she felt the atmosphere change slightly, "I-I just don't want to be dissapointed" she stumbled, Brittany gave her a sympathetic smile,
"but sweetie you won't know till you've took one" she soothed, "... let me ring San and ask her to get you one" Brittany suggested, Quinn looked to be thinking, she secretly wanted to say yes but she didn't want everyone to know...
"Ok... but tell her not to tell anyone" Brittany got her mobile from the kitchen and decided to text her wife as if she called and asked the whole car would probably know within a matter of seconds, 'hey do me a favour and buy a preggo test :) xx' her reply would be quite amusing, her phone vibrated within a matter of seconds, 'WTF? do you have something to tell me? x' she replied making her laugh, 'It's not for me, I'll explain when you get back :) oh and don't let anyone else know xx' she text back this, was going to be interesting.
"Britt?... Q?" she heard her wife shout from downstairs half an hour later, "up hear" she replied from her bedroom where her and Quinn sat, she heard footsteps then the latino appeared in the door frame with a paper bag in hand "you know what the lady said to me at the store? 'don't you think you're a bit late sweetie?'" they couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter, she threw the paper bag on the bed and stood opposite the two women who were sitting on the bed, "so?" she folded her arms across her chest, "I think I'm pregnant" Quinn blurted out, "really?" Santana smiled hugging her "yeah but i'm scared to take the test" she replied looking down, "take it" she said excited, Quinn picked the bag up and took the box out before walking into the bathroom, "our babies can be BFF's!" Brittany whispered making her wife giggle.
"Hey you guys ok?" Marley looked towards the staircase as the three women desended down, "fine" Quinn smiled brightly, trying to disguise the fact she'd been crying, "are you sure?... have you been crying?" Rachel stopped playing with her daughter and looked up to Quinn, Quinn fell apart completely and started crying again, Rachel got up from the floor and pulled her into a hug, "mommy whats wrong?" she forgot Beth was in the room, "nothing sweetie I'm fine" she choked unconvinsingly, "hey Beth why don't you take Arabelle to try out the new swing in the back yard?" Brittany suggested, they watched as the girl picked up the toddler and left the room as soon as they heard the back door close Quinn's eyes flushed with tears again, they guided her to the couch and sat beside her, "whats wrong?" Tina looked concerned.
"No... no I'm not upset" she blurted out, "could of fooled me" Rachel smiled Quinn let out a slight giggle and looked towards a grinning Brittany and Santana, "so?"
Marley piped up "I-I can't tell you" she said, "what?" the three women said in sync, "you can't do that!" Rachel screeched, it went silent as everyone waited for her to answer "I'm pregnant..."
"Oh my god today has been so crazy" Brittany said getting under the covers, "I know..." Santana said looking to her face, "they can be friends" the blonde giggled,
"it'll be cute" the latino replied snuggling into her pillow, "good night Britt" she said her eyes drooping, "good night San... and Eden " she leaned over and kissed her before switching of the lamp.
It was weird to think most of the glee clubs children will all be around the same age... a good weird.
