The next few chapters follow a story line.

"Babe, do you think it's time Valerie had a little sister or brother?" Brittany asked.

"Are you sure you want to do this again?"

Brittany shrugged, she wasn't sure but she wanted their daughter to have siblings.

"I do, but knowing what happened so many times. I don't think I can take another loss."

Santana knew even after five and a half years, her wife was still healing. She didn't want to pressure her into anything.

"How about tomorrow we go to an agency and try to adopt?"

Brittany smiled and kissed her wife.

"Hello ladies my name is Barbra, I'll be your caseworker."

Barbra looked like she could have been a pot head in college she wasn't that much older than the two twenty- eight year olds.

"So have you guys ever adopted a baby before?"

"Yes, our daughter Valerie will be six soon." Brittany and Santana were holding hands.

"So can I just have a little background about you two."

There was a huge sigh.

"Well me and Santana have been together since high school, we've been married for seven years. Almost eight years, we tried to have a baby about five times but it didn't work."

Santana rubbed her wife's back as she softly spoke, she was starting to cry so Santana took over.

"We had a successful pregnancy but then five weeks before she was due the baby died. It's been hard since then."

Barbra nodded her head and handed them some tissues.

"So when did you guys adopt Valerie?"

Talking about their daughter always Brittany smiled, she was the reason she woke up every morning, the reason she smiled, laughed and loved.

"Someone left Valerie on our door step when she was six months old." Barbra's eyes nearly fell or her head. "And we adopted her two weeks later." she smiled through tears.

"Good lord, she beautiful." she smiled holding the wallet sized picture of Valerie. "So are you guys looking to adopt a baby, a toddler or a kid?"

"Well we were thinking about a baby or a toddler. Between six to eighteen months." Santana said.

"Well, it should be easy for the paper work to go through since you two have already adopted a kid." she checked off some stuff on a paper. "Did you ever meet Valerie's birth parents?"

Santana rolled her eyes, and Brittany chuckled.

"We meet Val's birth mother about four years ago, she's a teenager, well she's grown now. Her stepfather raped her. She told us a long time ago she didn't want anything to do with her, because she felt like she deserved a better life." Brittany slapped her wires leg.

They chatted some more then their appointment was over. It was 2:45 by the time they left it would take them awhile to get back across town to pick Valerie up from school.

Valerie had been looking sad all day, Brittany finLly asked her when she was poking around in her pasta.

"Valerie what's wrong?"

"Nothing." she said with a shrug.

Santana's eyebrows shot into her hairline, she had never heard her daughter use that tone before.

"Is something going on at school?" she shrugged again. "Did someone do something to you? Like a bad touch or anything?" Brittany asked worried.

"People were making fun of me because I didn't know what a dad was." she cried, crossing her arms.

Santana put her spoon down and rubbed her head.

Brittany eyes were glassy, and she was red, neither of them knew what to say to their daughter.

"How come everybody has a dad and I don't?" she whipped her face quickly. "What is a dad, momma?"

Santana didn't mean to be thankful that Valerie hadn't asked her but she was.

"Baby you don't have a dad because me and your mommy wanted you all for ourselves. Besides you shouldn't care about having a dad you have two moms who love you." she said whipping the tears from Valerie's face.

"Okay." Valerie mumbled.

Santanas heart broke into a million tiny little pieces, she never had been teased in school, so she didn't know what her daughter was going through. Brittany on the other hand knew exactly what it felt like.

"Mrs. Lopez, how may I help you?" asked Valerie's teacher when she was greeted by her at the door to classroom number 5.

"Well Ms. Lopez, Valerie said a few kids in the class had been teasing her and picking on her because she doesn't have a father."

The younger Lopez looked completely blown away.

"When - she didn't say anything to me about it - why didn't she say anything to me about it? Hold on just a second." she went into the classroom and came out with Valerie.

"Valerie sweetheart, why didn't you tell me kid in class were picking at you?" she shrugged. "Okay you tell me all their names, and I promise you won't ever be picked on again." Valerie nodded.

"I'll arrange to have a meeting with their parent you and I." Santana was more than pleased with the outcome.

"So how did it go today? With Ms. Lopez?" she asked after kissing her wife on the cheek.

"She wants to have a meeting with us and the other kids parents." Santana said returning the kiss.

"It's been two weeks did the agency call, yet?" asked Santana.

Brittany shook her no. "We have to talk to Valerie about this and the fact that she might be getting a brother or sister."

"Well maybe we should wait to tell her because what if we get her hopes up for a baby brother or sister - and we don't get a baby." Brittany was right.

"Momma can you help me tie my shoe?" Valerie looked completely frustrated.

"There you go." Brittany tied her shoe and helped her with her helmet and elbow pads. "You ready for your mommy to teach you?"

Valerie smiled then ran outside and her mommy followed behind her.

"Okay baby, if you want to stop just peddle backwards okay and try not to hit anyones car, okay." Valerie started peddling, Santana was holding on to her for safety, "Okay princess on three I'm gonna let go. Ready one, two, three!"

She let go and Valerie took off riding down the street, Ducky was right beside her, Brittany watched from the front door. She was distracted when the phone rang.

"Hello - this is Mrs. Pierce-Lopez - oh Barbra hello. Okay so I'll tell Santana and we'll come down Tuesday afternoon. Okay - thank you bye." she jumped up and down and clapped her hands. "I gotta go tell Santana."

Santana standing in the middle of the street filming their daughter as she peddle back to her.

Valerie hopped off her bike and ran towards Brittany. "Momma did you see me riding all by myself - mommy didn't even help me!"

"That's great baby." Santana knew something was up with her wife when she seen her do a front flip clean across their lawn.

"What was the front flip all about out there?" she asked sitting a plate in front of her daughter.

"Well Tuesday afternoon we go meet with Barbra again." Santana mouth dropped open in surprise. "They want to come and look at the house, get to know us better, and take it from there." Santana kissed her wife, and they did a little dance in the kitchen.

"Hey baby, do you want a brother or sister?" asked her mommy.

"I don't want a brother or sister." she was absolutely serious when she said that.

Oh no, trouble in paradise I think so. Valerie doesn't want a sibling, what will Santana and Brittany do to change her mind?
