Santana looked up from her place on the Fabray's couch, she closed her book when Echo swung open the door for Brittany.
"Aunty B!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around the blondes legs. Brittany ruffled the girls hair as she hiked the baby up in her arms. The little black haired boy looked around the room from behind the layers of clothing he was wearing. "He's so big!"
"He is!" Brittany exclaimed as she closed the door behind her and kneeled down on the floor. She took the boy out of his jacket and shoes before letting him crawl over the the smaller girl. Echo crawled around following him and tickling him when Quinn came back into the room. She hugged Brittany before taking the blondes coat and hanging it up. She scooped down and picked up the baby and spun him in the air.
"Hi Shun!" She exclaimed causing him to giggle uncontrollably when he was getting tickled. "You are so big and beautiful." Santana smiled as she heard the baby's laugh. It sounded identical to his mothers, he had her eyes and Mikes features. "Santana, come meet him." Quinn said sternly, Santana walked over and smiled at the little boy. Brittany beamed and looked at her old friend, she ran her finger down the baby's nose and cooed.
"Baby Shun," She said, her voice in a cute tone, "This is your auntie Santana. Santana, this is Shun Wu Chang."
"Hi, Shun Chang." Santana replied, as she looked at the baby. "He's cute, B."
"I know right, he's squishy and stuff." Brittany beamed, "Remember when E was all lumpy?"
"I was never lumpy!" Echo exclaimed as she reached up to take the baby. They moved to the couch and Quinn took Santana's hand.
"You okay?" She whispered, Santana just nodded as she sat down next to Quinn. During junior year, Santana and Brittany had a falling out. Santana finally got set to a boarding school out of state because of the fact she kept getting in trouble. She started acting out more when she found out why Brittany had broken off their relationship to be with Artie. Santana took this hard, because she was in love with the blonde. She was scared to admit it, but she started lashing out more and more after the girls split. She made both of their lives a living hell during her remaining time at the school.
"Yeah. I'm cool." Santana said.
"So. How long have you two been having sex?" Brittany asked out of the blue.
"Brittany." Quinn glared, the other blonde just shrugged. "Awhile now."
"I knew San like girls, but Quinn why didn't I know you did?"
"I didn't really admit it until recently'. I had a few experiences in college but I stopped dating all together to raise Echo." Quinn explained, "Then when she started getting a little older and we moved to New York and I thought I should see whats out there."
"Yay, Q. I'm excited you've always needed someone to love you!" Brittany exclaimed, checking over her shoulder to see Echo playing with Shun. "So, how did you and San get together?" Santana looked up at her name and smiled a bit when she saw Quinn blush.
"I work at Echo's school." Santana explained, "She came in and I needed to talk to her mother and there was Quinn. We had dinner and such and I guess it just kinda happened." She shrugged and looked at Quinn, "How did you and Mike happen? You were with Artie last time I saw you." Brittany's face faltered as she thought about it.
"Um yeah. Well, I was with Artie and we graduated and whatever… but then he said he wanted to go to college… and I couldn't. He said we could stay together but at Pucks party we got drunk and I had sex with Mike. I told Artie and he said that he wanted to be with Tina anyway. So yeah. I started sleeping with mike and then got pregnant." She shrugged, Quinn patted the girls knee calmingly. Knowing that it wasn't what ether Mike or Brittany were looking to happen in their lives, but they loved their son and they had each other. "He loves me."
"Good." Santana smiled, noting the sadness in the girls voice.
Santana stood in the kitchen as she stirred her tea. Quinn had been playing with the kids when Brittany went to look for her old friend.
"Hi." Brittany whispered as she moved closer to the island. "You look really good, San."
"Thanks, B." Santana replied, her eyes looking down to the mug in her hands.
"Are you happy with Quinn?" Brittany asked, her eyes fixated on the Latina. "I mean. Does she make you, are you and her…"
"I get what you mean Brit, but yeah… she makes me happy." Santana exclaimed, "Does Mike make you?"
"He's good to me," Brittany replied. "He loves me and he takes really good care of Shun. I'm always worried i'm gonna forget something or him somewhere."
"You won't. You are a good mom, B." Santana smiled and they looked at each other
"Thank you." Brittany smiled, "I loved you, you know that right?"
"Brit…"
"No. San, I loved you for like ever. You said we couldn't be together if I was with Artie. You never gave me a chance to reconsider if I wanted to be with you or not. I would have stayed…" Santana sighed deeply as she ran her hand over her face.
"Brittany… You wouldn't have stayed with me. We both know that. I would have screwed it up, or pissed you off at some point. I would have gone off to college and would have had to leave you behind. Don't think about the past Brittany… Stay focused on your son and husband… they adore you."
Santana laid back on her Quinn's childhood bed, her arm draped over her eyes. A few minutes later, the blonde came in and shut the door behind herself. She twisted the lock and moved to lay behind the Latina, she wrapped her arms around the girl and held her close.
"Hi." She whispered, as she ghosted her lips against the back of the girls neck.
"Hey." Santana replied as she laced her fingers though the blondes.
"Are you okay? You've been quiet since earlier." Quinn said, her thumb rubbing against the girls skin.
"Yeah…" Santana sighed, "B said she loved me back in the day."
"Duh."
"Don't say duh. She could have put me out of my misery back in the day." Santana groaned. "Instead she dumped me for the nerd on wheels." Quinn rolled her eyes and moved to straddle her girlfriend. She looked down into her eyes.
"Stop it." Quinn demanded, "Don't be stupid. I think that you should stop worrying about your past. You are so much different then you were back then."
"Not really." Santana grumbled as she tried to divert her gaze.
"Yes… you are." Quinn said sternly, "I think the best thing that ever happened to you was leaving Lima. I know it was because you got in trouble, but if you would have stayed you would have been arrested or something." Quinn leans down and kisses the girls pouting lips. "Baby, if you didn't leave we would have never been together."
"I know." Santana mumbled, as she leaned up into the kiss. "I don't know. Just seeing her today was just… odd. I can't believe she has a kid."
"I know, but so do I." Quinn pointed out.
"It's different." Santana rolled her eyes, "You know it is."
"Shut up and kiss me, Santana." the blonde ordered. Santana leaned up and kissed the girls lips, sliding her hands around her thighs.
