Hey guys sorry about the wait. Been quite busy lately :(
All I have to say is…Naya in a suit…OMG!
~~~ Happy/Sad Times ~~~
Pretty much since it was confirmed that Grace was pregnant Sofia had been doing a lot of reading about how to be a good mom. She was looking forward to all the special moments and she just didn't want to be a crappy mom. She didn't want to disappoint her kids so she got as many books about parenting as she could. Sofia knew deep down she was only doing this to keep her mind off of the bigger issue about the pregnancy, the fact that she wasn't the one carrying their baby. She knew she was pushing those thoughts down and refusing to acknowledge them as much as possible. She just didn't know how it was becoming more and more obvious to those around her, more specifically her wife.
They had started going to their Lamaze classes together once Grace hit six months. Grace had refused to go to their second class after having to watch a real life birth in the first lesson the poor girl was horrified. But Sofia managed to get her to agree to keep going and after a while Grace warmed up to the classes and found it kind of helpful. They were put into a class of twelve and all were expecting twins. Grace and Sofia were the only same-sex couple there but that didn't really matter the other couples were pretty friendly and they could all have a laugh well except for one couple, Rob and Lara they were very snobby and did not have a sense of humour at all.
Their instructor was a very bubbly lady. Debbie was middle aged and was one of those people who was just always happy. She was always smiling it was nice...creepy, but nice. Today's lesson was all about the joys of being pregnant and the special bonds a mother and their unborn children form during the nine months.
Debbie had split the groups up during a task she had set. The mommies were on one side of the room and the daddies were on the other side. Sofia had never felt so uncomfortable and angry than she did during that moment. Grace could tell her wife was not enjoying this in the least but she never said a word she just made her way over to the expecting fathers table and slumped into a chair. Their task was to write down all the things they were looking forward to after their child is born and share these things with the group.
As their groups worked together Grace couldn't help but look over to see how Sofia was holding up. If things were how they should be it would have been Grace sitting with the guys. Normally Grace hated being put in the role as the 'guy' of her relationship with Sofia. But she would have been more comfortable and happy to be sitting with them during this class than Sofia. The Latina was very much a girly girl and Grace knew how much she did not like to be placed with the fathers during these small tasks. It was like a constant reminder that Sofia was not a 'real woman' because she couldn't have kids; of course Sofia never told Grace that this was how she felt. With a heavy sigh Grace glanced one more time at her wife before turning back to face her group.
Most of the fathers had come up with similar things that they were looking forward to once their partners gave birth. The most common thing were not having to deal with a hormonal wife anymore. After hearing all of their suggestions Sofia was a little hesitant to share hers.
"Come on Sofia we all said ours" Randy prodded her
He was a nice guy, very tall and well-built; him and his wife would have very good looking children. The other guys cheered her on until she finally gave and told them what she was looking forward to after her children were born.
"I...I just want them to be proud of me" Sofia quietly mumbled
The five other men just sat there a little awed by what Sofia had said and some even felt a little guilty for not taking the task seriously.
The rest of the class went pretty well once the couples could come back together. It was all fine and dandy until it came to the last twenty minutes and Debbie brought out the Empathy Belly for the fathers to wear so they could feel what it's like to be pregnant and know what it is their partners have to experience on a daily basis. Of course it wasn't exactly like the real thing but it was as close as they would get. When it came to her turn Sofia flat out refused to wear it and walked out of the class. Grace apologised for her wife before she went after her as quickly as her pregnant body would take her.
"Sofia wait" Grace called after the woman as she strode her way over to their car.
Sofia didn't plan it very well she had forgotten that Grace had the keys so she just slumped up against the car folding her arms across her chest and glared at the ground. Grace was a little puffed out when she finally reached her wife making Sofia feel slightly guilty for making her run after her.
"Hey" Grace spoke softly placing her hand on the brunette's arm.
Sofia didn't reply she just looked at the asphalt.
"Talk to me" Grace pleaded
Sofia just clenched her jaw and said nothing. Grace could tell she was bottling up her emotions so she wouldn't say something she'd later regret. They stood like that for a long time neither saying a word until Sofia finally broke the silence by shifting slightly and pulled her wife into a big hug. Grace immediately wrapped her arms around the Latina holding her tight. She could feel the tell-tale droplets of salty tears on her neck the second Sofia pulled her in close. Grace didn't say anything; she just gently rubbed soothing circles onto Sofia's back as she waited for her wife to calm down. When it seemed like Sofia had stopped crying Grace placed a small kiss to her wife's temple.
"I love you" Grace gently murmured
Sofia just nodded and tightened her arms around Grace in response.
~~~ Time Flies ~~~
After being seven months pregnant with twins Grace could safely say she 100% totally and utterly hated being pregnant with twins. Her body has become a deformed whale and her mood swings were deadly. So to ask her to sit there in the unusual spring heat for three hours just to see her brother graduate from the police academy was really asking a lot.
It was a big turnout though and so seats were limited. But Sofia saved the day by practically knocking everyone down to make sure her wife got a fucking seat. Because lord help us all if she didn't...hell would break loose.
Everyone was there for Toby's graduation. And when I say everyone I mean everyone. Michael came over to New York as did Judy and Marcus. Maria and her 'friend' were there. Beth and her husband and little Dave were there. Mercedes and Tina came. It was a big day.
Ally was super proud of her daddy as she went around telling anyone and everyone that her daddy was really brave and the bestest daddy in the world. Maya just smiled happily as she watched and listened to Ally gush about her father.
Even though Quinn had, had her issues with her only son becoming a police officer and even now she was still apprehensive about the whole thing no one could deny that Quinn was a super duper proud momma right now. Rachel was just as bad. She had brought two cameras just in case and made Charlie film the whole thing.
"When's this gonna start I'm getting hot?" Grace grumbled to no one in particular.
"Soon...god I hope it's soon" Sofia replied adding that last bit to herself.
The poor Latina had been through a lot lately having to manage her wife's crazy moods and the random bouts of extreme horny!Gracie. Then having to deal with her own feelings of disappointment and jealousy of not being about to carry their children. It was an emotional time for the both of them. Sofia had been getting better at voicing her feelings on the subject when asked but as it got closer and closer to the due date Sofia had become less vocal about what she was really feeling. They hadn't really talked about it or addressed it since that day at the Lamaze class. Grace wanted to but for the first time ever she didn't know how to talk to her wife about something. Sofia had never been like this before.
"Sofia could you please get me something to drink?" Grace asked sweetly.
"Alright" Sofia nodded before quickly getting up.
"Pussywhipped" Santana coughed as her daughter walked past her.
Sofia just glared at her Ma and flipped her off.
"Sanny I'm hungry" Brittany whined.
"I'll go get you some Dots. I think there was a vending machine by the entrance." Santana quickly got up and headed for the doors because her woman needed food damn it.
Grace just chuckled at the small smirk on Brittany's face as she watched her wife rush over to the vending machine.
"Gotta love those Lopez women" Brittany sighed happily.
Grace just nodded in agreement then cringed in slight discomfort.
"You ok Gracie?" Brittany asked with a hint of worry.
"Yeah it's just blobby one and blobby two think it's ok to kick me whenever they feel like it" Grace huffed.
"Can I feel?" Brittany asked almost giddy.
Grace just nodded. She had gotten used to people touching her stomach that she just didn't care anymore. Brittany lent over and placed her hand on her daughter-in-law's stomach. Grace moved her Aunt's hand to where the babies were kicking. Brittany just smiled as she felt her grandbabies kick against her hand. It was pretty awesome. She had forgotten how amazing it was to be pregnant.
"Aunty B can I talk to you about something?" Grace softly spoke.
Brittany frowned slightly at the worried tone of Grace's voice but she nodded all the same.
"It's...it's about Sofia" Grace replied looking around to make sure her wife wasn't there yet
This made Brittany worry even more.
"I think...she's been so great throughout this whole pregnancy and god I love her so much for putting up with my craziness. I know she's excited and happy about it but...I think she's...she tries to be brave and stoic or whatever but I just know she's still depressed about her not being able to physically have kids. She's talked a little bit about it with me but I know she's not telling me all of what she's really feeling." Grace rambled as she continually made sure Sofia wasn't in listening range.
"I think the reason she's been more than awesome to me is because she doesn't want to stop and think about what's really happening. That she doesn't have to dwell on her own disappointment and anger over everything. It wasn't that long after she found out, that I got pregnant. I don't think she completely accepted it and the closer we get to me giving birth the closer she is to having to deal with it...and I think she's scared to face the reality." Grace quietly added.
Brittany didn't know what to say. Her heart went out to her daughter. She knew this was something big that Sofia would have to get through and honestly by the way she had been acting it was like she had dealt with it and moved on. But hearing Grace tell her that her daughter was still hurting...well that just made Brittany hurt. She had forgotten how much Sofia was like Santana sometimes. The Lopez women were notorious for bottling up their emotions and not talking about their real feelings. Santana had gotten a lot better over the years but it seemed Sofia still had ways to go.
"I don't know how to bring this up with her because she'll either get defensive or just cut me out or just deny it. I would love to be the one to help her through this but I think I need some outside help too." Grace added sadly.
Brittany just nodded and pulled Grace in for a hug.
"Thank you for telling me...and thank you for loving my Ducky so much." The blonde quietly told her.
Grace nodded and gave her Aunt a small smile.
"I'll have a talk with Santana and we'll come up with something to help her ok?" Brittany replied.
"Thank you"
It was then that Sofia came back with an ice cold bottle of water for her lady and a diet coke for herself.
"Thanks babe" Grace kissed her wife's cheek.
"Anything for you Gracie" Sofia softly smiled.
"I'm sorry Britt-Britt they didn't have any Dots" Santana came up to them looking sad and disappointed that she failed her wife.
"It's ok Sanny" Brittany giggled
"I got you Skittles instead because I know how much you like rainbows and red skittles." Santana smiled bashfully as she placed the packet into her wife's lap.
Brittany just smiled and kissed her adorable wife's cheek.
"Mom please stop we need at least one good photo of you not looking sad or crying" Charlie huffed as she looked through several of the photos they had already taken.
"Leave me alone" Quinn pouted as she wiped her eyes.
Toby just laughed. He had come over to see them before the ceremony started. He was dressed in his uniform looking all manly and handsome. Maya was practically drooling at the sight of him.
"Ok let's get a family shot." Charlie spoke up as she set the camera ready.
Charlie had gotten Ben to be her assistant in the recording of this momentous occasion. And by assistant I mean she pretty much just ordered him about. Right now she was getting him to position Toby, Maya and Ally for their photo. The trio made an adorable little family. Toby held his daughter in his arms as Maya stood close by all three wearing big smiles on their faces.
"Ok Gracie get up here we need a photo of us three and then one with Beth" Charlie ordered
"I don't want a photo I look hideous" Grace whined.
"Shut up. You look amazing" Sofia reminded her
"You just say that because I let you have sex with me" Grace grumbled.
"Gracie just have a photo with your brother and sister kay?" Sofia replied sternly
"Fine...but you owe me" Grace huffed
They decided to have them sitting down in the photo because Grace refused to stand up and have her stomach take over the whole fucking photo. Toby sat in the middle with his arms around his sisters' shoulders. When Beth joined the photo Charlie sat on her brother's lap with her legs sprawled out on Beth's lap and Charlie resting her head on Grace's shoulder. She was such a poser and centre of attention. Though that surprised no one.
It took them nearly an hour to get through the photos mostly because Charlie was getting high on her power trip and Quinn kept crying in her photos. It was a good thing they had come early. Finally it was time for Toby to go join his squad for the ceremony so he gave a quick kiss goodbye to his daughter and Maya before he ran off to get ready.
There were some long boring speeches and some music before they marched and then it was all over. Rachel and Quinn probably cheered the loudest when the crowd was told to congratulate the new members of the NYPD. In fact you couldn't hear anybody else cheer besides them when Toby was awarded the Good Samaritan award.
To celebrate the Berry-Fabrays held a small gathering at their place with food and alcohol and even more photos. Becky, Hannah, Sofia and Grace all stood or well Grace sat by the pool area chatting and for once all four were sober at the same time at a party. It was almost unheard of.
Grace wasn't drinking for obvious reasons and Sofia wasn't drinking because she made a promise to her wife. Becky wasn't drinking because after what happened at the Christmas party she had become a little weary of alcoholic beverages. Even though she knew no one at the party would ever harm her she still didn't feel like drinking. Hannah was going sober because she didn't want to be the only one out of the four who was drinking. She didn't mind she wasn't a big drinker anyways.
"Wow it's so much weirder being at one of your parents' parties and being sober." Hannah commented
Becky nodded in agreement as the four looked around at their crazy families making drunken fools out of themselves.
"It's scary" Sofia deadpanned
"Wait...where's Charlie and Ben?" Grace asked as she looked around.
There wasn't that many people there just their families and Tina and Mercedes and their husbands. But the youngest Fabray and youngest Pierce were nowhere to be seen.
"They're probably off having sex somewhere" Sofia smirked she loved riling her wife up about her little sister.
Grace just looked horrified.
"She better not be!" She then yelled
"Calm down baby mama your sister is over there" Becky chuckled as she pointed to Charlie coming out of the house to re-join the party.
Grace sighed and then went back to her bowl of sardines and Nutella...don't ask.
"Gracie I love you honey but that is fucking disgusting. I don't think I can kiss you until you brush your teeth." Sofia cringed.
"I know...but my hormones are forcing me to eat it" Grace replied with mild disgust.
She knew this combination was so wrong but she continued to scoff it down.
Meanwhile over by the table under the porch the old glee girls were laughing up a storm as they talked about god knows what.
"We should totally go on a road trip!" Brittany cheered
Quinn and Santana both agreed while Rachel just laughed.
"No!" Tina and Mercedes yelled at the same time.
"Why not?" Quinn pouted
"Yeah? We haven't done that since we drove from Lima to New York back when we started college." Santana added
"Yeah and the whole way there you and Brittany were constantly trying to have sex all the time in the back seat!" Tina reminded them
"What do you mean 'tried'? We totally got our finger banging on" Santana smirked
The rest of them cringed while Brittany joined her wife with the smirking and even blew her a kiss. After their little talk a few months ago it was as if something had reignited them and they were back to their sexy selves and getting their freak on like never before. Brittany regretted not telling her wife sooner because the last two months had been heaven. She's pretty sure they have done more kinky shit in the last few months than they had ever done the whole time they have been together.
"And then there was Quinn and Rachel" Mercedes added
"What about us?" Quinn asked
"Yeah what did we do?" Rachel added
"You don't remember?" Tina asked disbelievingly
"What?" Rachel thought about it and then she remembered and her cheeks began to turn a little pink.
"Oh"
"What?" Quinn still looked confused.
"Quinn honey I think they are referring to the time we...we kind of got a little drunk and went skinny dipping in that motel pool and afterwards we kind of fell on top of Mercedes while she was sleeping" Rachel muttered
"Oh" Quinn nodded then giggled bashfully
"Yeah I still have nightmares from that night. I still fear two wet naked lesbians falling on top of me in the middle of the night" Mercedes glared at her friends but then couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Why would that be a nightmare? That's more like a dream come true" Brittany stated
They all laughed at that even though Brittany was actually being serious.
Meanwhile Judy and Maria just sat there a little horrified by their daughters and their friends discussions.
"You know even after everything I've seen and heard I will never ever get used to it" Judy whispered to the other woman.
Maria just nodded in agreement as Judy refilled their drinks with some hard liquor.
"Aww I miss those days" Tina sighed with a hint of sadness.
"What do you mean?" Mercedes asked in confusion. She didn't miss having her friends being naked all the time.
"When we were all teenagers. We had so much fun back then, no responsibilities...no work, no kids, it's was just us and Glee. It was some of the best times of our lives." Tina replied feeling all nostalgic
"I don't know...I mean it wasn't all rainbows" Santana muttered
Quinn nodded in agreement. Judy and Maria both looked down still feeling the guilt and shame of the past.
"I know that...but you have to admit. We had some pretty fun times together." Tina reminded them with a small smile.
"Well I will agree to that!" Rachel spoke up and took a big drink of her wine.
"Me too!" Mercedes added and took a big drink of her wine as well.
Quinn, Santana and even Brittany weren't all that convinced. The three of them had some pretty bad memories of their youth what with teen pregnancies and being kicked out of home by their parents. They were interrupted when Rachel started giggling to herself. They all looked questioningly at the brunette.
"Sorry...I'm just thinking about that sleep over we had way back in junior year" Rachel chuckled
"Ooh I remember that" Mercedes cackled
"What are you talking about babe?" Quinn asked
"It was the first sleepover we had! All us Glee girls. It was like a month before you gave birth to Beth and it was the first time Santana and Brittany came to my house." Rachel jogged her wife's memory
"Oh yeah" Quinn nodded and then chuckled
"I think that's pretty much the night we all became best friends" Tina added
"Aww...I remember that!" Brittany smiled brightly.
"Yeah I remember Berry's creepy ass self-portrait. That thing gave me nightmares" Santana smirked
"Yes we'll I remember Santana's attempt at hiding her relationship to Brittany and hiding her obvious lesbian tendencies...and failing epically" Rachel laughed out loud.
The brunette just huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I did not fail. You bitches had no clue" Santana pouted
"Aww Sanny you were so obvious it hurt." Brittany giggled
"Yeah it didn't help that you wore overalls that day" Tina cackled
"I hate you all" Santana glared at her friends.

~~~ Friday Evening at the Berry House ~~~
"I can't believe Q made us come here" Santana grumbled as she and Brittany waited patiently at the door to Rachel Berry's house.
"San we promised her. You know she and Rach are like friends now and we promised to be better friends to Quinn so stop pouting" Brittany scolded her secret girlfriend/best friend.
"Whatever...you know we could be doing better things on a Friday night than sleeping over at the dwarf's shire." Santana huffed
"Like what? Both of our parents are home." Brittany reminded her
"Oh yeah" Santana sighed sadly.
The pair were interrupted by the door finally opening and revealing an overly happy looking tiny person also known as Rachel Berry.
"Hello and welcome! I have to say I am thrilled that you two could make it tonight. The girls and I were just about to come up with various amount of entertaining games and activities for this evening" Rachel beamed at them.
"Oh god kill me now" Santana mumbled under her breath
Brittany just smiled even the blonde was a little overwhelmed by Rachel's eagerness. Santana grabbed both their overnight bags as Rachel led them down to the basement. The brunette continued to ramble on about who knows what Santana had tuned her out long ago. Brittany just nodded politely.
They finally made it to the basement where everybody else was already sitting around the small table munching on some snacks. Quinn looked up and smiled when she saw her two friends. She wasn't sure if they would actually come but she was happy to see that they were trying.
"Holy fucking shitballs what the fuck is that thing?" Santana yelled in absolute horror once they reached the bottom of the stairs.
They all turned to see what Santana was talking about. It was a life-sized self portrait of Rachel. The diva just smiled proudly at the monstrosity while Santana eyed it wearily Brittany was a little freaked out by it too it's like it's eyes were watching you.
The rest of the girls just laughed at the cheerleaders' reaction to the painting. Santana made sure to walk as far away from the painting as humanly possible without falling down the rest of the steps. Brittany grabbed onto her friend's arm to make sure the freaky painting didn't come alive and kill her.
Once they were far away from the demon painting and sitting with the rest of the group it was abundantly clear that it was so very awkward. The six of them hadn't really hung out altogether just for the sake of hanging out. Sure they talked during Glee and Quinn was living with Mercedes now and she was becoming friends with Rachel. With all six of them together it was just a little weird.
"Nice overalls by the way San" Quinn chuckled finally breaking the awkward silence.
"Shut up preggers" Santana grumbled.
"You know you're getting soft and so unoriginal these days. That's the best you could do?" Quinn smirked
"Oh I'm just getting warmed up Juno" Santana sneered
"Guys can we not?" Brittany cut in before they got into one of their fighting matches.
"She started it" Santana pouted
"What are you three?" Quinn scoffed
"Guys come on let's not argue please?" Brittany interrupted them with her famous Pierce Pout.
"Fine" Santana sighed dramatically
Quinn just smirked at how whipped her friend was already. But then she caught a glimpse of the pout and she gave in and agreed to stop arguing.
"Damn it, how does she do that?" Quinn hissed to Santana
"It's a gift" Brittany shrugged with a hint of smugness before she went to grab a drink.
"Ok well that was fun for all of three minutes...Rachel when is this sleepover gonna get good?" Mercedes spoke up.
"Oh um...w-well I'm not entirely sure how a sleepover works so I figured you guys could just...lead the way" Rachel nervously spoke.
"Great...well first things first. Where's the booze?" Santana asked
About an hour later found half of the party was pretty much drunk or on their way. Quinn obviously could not drink at first she was a little annoyed that everyone still drank when she couldn't but then it was kind of funny watching her friends say and do stupid things while under the influence. For example Santana had completely forgotten she was supposed to be hiding her sexuality because she was deathly afraid of people knowing that she was the biggest lesbian this side of Ohio and that she was madly in love with Brittany. The brunette was currently shoving her tongue down said girl's throat for all to see. Brittany had reverted to her stripper drunken ways and was currently straddling Santana's lap with her top missing and her pants on their way to being removed. And Mercedes and Tina found everything to be the most hilarious thing ever.
"Do you think we should stop them?" Rachel asked as she sat down next to Quinn.
"Probably...Otherwise I'm pretty sure we'll all be scarred for life" Quinn replied though she didn't exactly stop looking at the two.
"Ok well...As their friend I feel you should be the one to stop them" Rachel suggested
"I'm not getting in the middle of that" Quinn replied in horror.
Rachel just chuckled at the look on the blonde's face.
"Are you not drinking?" Quinn then asked
"Not really. I mean it wouldn't be very fare to you." Rachel replied with a small smile.
"Thanks Rach...I mean Rachel...Berry...um...thanks" Quinn stuttered her cheeks turning a little pink.
It was during this time when Quinn had begun to notice that her feelings towards a certain brunette were becoming a lot less 'friendly' and a lot more 'oh my god I want her'. It was safe to say that being this close to Rachel made Quinn a little nervous.
"Maybe we should play a game to try and...stop that" Rachel suggested and pointed over at Brittany and Santana.
"I think that would be best because I can only count three hands right now" Quinn replied as her face began to heat up as she watched her two friends make out.
Rachel's face paled a little before she jumped up and pretty much yelled that they would be playing a game. They ended up playing truth or dare.
"Brittany truth or dare?" Tina asked
"Dare! No! Truth!" Brittany yelled in excitement.
"Ok um...oh oh I know! What is one of your secret fantasies?" Tina smirked
The rest of the group giggled at the question, Santana raised an eyebrow wondering what her bestie would say. She knew the blonde could be quite kinky sometimes. Brittany sat there for a moment thinking until a small smirk appeared on her face.
"I'd totally want a foursome." Brittany finally revealed.
Everybody just laughed at her response. Except for Santana who sat there a little stunned because she knew that somehow in the future she would probably be roped into having a foursome because Santana could not deny her blondie anything. She just hoped it would be with two other people who were super hot.
"My turn! Rachel truth or dare?" Brittany asked
"I'll go with...truth" Rachel nodded
"Awesome...ok so who do you think is the prettiest girl in Glee?" Brittany asked
"Brittany that's not a very good question I think all of you guys are beautiful I can't pick one" Rachel explained
"Don't care, you have to choose" Brittany shook her head
"Alright fine I choose Quinn" Rachel shrugged
"You chose that pretty quickly" Santana muttered to herself.
Quinn just blushed and looked down silently doing her happy dance inside her head.
"Santana truth or dare?" Rachel continued the game not noticing how flustered the blonde sitting next to her was after saying her answer to Brittany's question.
"What the hell...I'll go with dare" Santana shrugged
"Oh um...um...I wasn't prepared! Quinn help me think of a dare" Rachel grabbed Quinn's arm
Quinn couldn't help but feel all tingly inside at the touch and forgot instantly what Rachel had asked.
"What?" She replied dumbly with a silly grin on her face
"I need to think of a dare for Santana." Rachel explained
"Oh um...make her streak naked down the street" Quinn suggested
"What?" Santana replied in horror
"Oh my god that would be so hot" Brittany grinned
"Totally getting the camera out for that" Mercedes cackled
Tina just laughed.
"You just wanna see me naked Fabgay" Santana sneered.
"Shut up Lezpez" Quinn snapped back.
- 2043 -
"Ok wait a minute please tell me my only daughter did not run down the street naked!" Maria interrupted the story in horror.
"No Mami I would never do that" Santana quickly reassured her mother.
Meanwhile the rest of the girls held back their laughter.
- 2010 -
"I am so getting you back for this Berry-Fabray!" Santana gritted through her teeth as she held the robe tightly around her body.
"You can always chicken out" Quinn smirked
"I hate you all" Santana hissed
"Ok are you doing this or not?" Mercedes huffed getting impatient.
"I'm going jeez Wheezy give me a minute!" Santana snapped
"Just don't trip over anything because there is nothing sexy about falling over awkwardly when naked...but don't worry I'll totally kiss you all better if you do" Brittany reassured her with a cheeky wink.
"Britt!" Santana whined
"Oh sorry I mean there will be no kissing because we're like totally only friends." Brittany quickly amended her previous statement.
The girls just giggled at the pair. They had already seen enough to know that these two are more than just friends. But they were willing to play ignorant just to ease Santana's fears.
"Alright on the count of three! One...Two..." Tina began the countdown
"Three!" Everyone yelled.
And then off she went. Santana Lopez ran down the street bearing all. Her friends cheered her on all of them surprised that she actually did it.
"Woo! Look at those boobs go!" Brittany cheered excitedly.
Later that evening the girls settled down watching a bunch of romantic comedies while they did each other's nails and talked about boys. Santana wasn't all that fused about that part of the conversation so she just went back to watching the movie and cuddling up close to Brittany. Quinn couldn't help but get bored with the boy talk as well so she just sat back and enjoyed being surrounded by a group of amazing girls who were the best friends she'd ever had. She had also managed to move herself over to sit beside a certain brunette and she may or may not have slightly cuddled up to her and rested her head on her shoulder.
None of them knew why but after that night they had all formed a strong bond with each other little did they know but that bond would stay strong for a lifetime and would only grow stronger as the years went by.
- 2043 -
"Aww that was a sweet story" Judy smiled at them.
Meanwhile over by the barbecue Toby stood with his grandfather and several other people he had invited a few of his friends from the academy to celebrate their graduation. Maya was currently talking with Beth as they kept an eye on the kids who were playing nearby.
"You know your grandpa would have been so proud of you today Toby" Michael said with a hint of sadness.
"I'm sure he's up there throwing me a party of his own." Toby smiled softly.
Michael just laughed and nodded
"I'm sure he even convinced Barbra to tag along" He added
The two just smiled as they thought of Leroy up in the clouds having a gay old time with all the legendary divas.
Since that unfortunate experience at Sofia and Grace's engagement party Charlie and Ben had told themselves never to drink again but somehow their drinks had been spiked with some form of alcohol because the couple were feeling rather lightheaded and carefree. Santana was once again playing the role of bartender that evening. Charlie was also getting extremely handsy and flirty with Ben which was a tell-tale sign of inebriation. Ben was also feeling the side effects of the devils drink as his shy and wallflower personality slowly melted away to reveal a more confident man.
"Ben come dance with me" Charlie smiled sweetly but with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"There's no dance floor" Ben chuckled.
There was some background music playing but it wasn't really a dancing party.
"I don't mean that kind of dancing" Charlie whispered with a smirk.
It took a moment before Ben caught on to what Charlie was suggesting. Once he figured it out he couldn't help but smile at the thought. Ever since their first night together several months ago the pair had grown more adventurous and Ben was becoming less nervous and awkward about it all.
That being said they were still pretty vanilla with their sex lives. They were nothing like Grace and Sofia or even Toby and Maya. In fact they hadn't even been caught in the act like everybody else had in their families. Even Abuela Lopez got caught macking with her 'friend' that one time. Maria was mortified but it was kinda like a rite of passage or something...well that's what Judy said after her shock wore off.
"Wanna go up to my room?" Charlie giggled as she played with Ben's hair.
The ballet had just finished its last show and that meant Ben could stop dying his hair. His blonde locks were slowly coming back much to Brittany's happiness. She missed her son's natural hair colour. Charlie had missed it too and so she was extra happy that he didn't have to dye his hair anymore.
"Too obvious" Ben shook his head
"Hmm...oh how about Toby's old place? Mom put the old pull-out sofa in there" Charlie smiled brightly at her brilliant idea.
"What if we get caught?" Ben asked with worry.
He was slightly tipsy but he was still well aware of what he was doing.
"No one will know" Charlie giggled
She was a little more tipsy than Ben but that was only because she was tiny and the alcohol takes over a lot quicker. Ben looked around a little unsure but then he just shrugged and nodded with a small grin. Charlie's face broke out into a wide smile and started to drag him towards Toby's old apartment.
Grace grumbled to herself as she made her way to the bathroom for like the tenth time in the last two hours she sighed in frustration when it appeared that someone was already in there.
"I don't care who is in there but hurry the fuck up" Grace hissed through the door.
A small laugh could be heard from inside and then the flush of the toilet. Taking her sweet ass time Beth finally opened the bathroom door to an annoyed looking Grace.
"Finally"
"Sorry Gracie" Beth chuckled
"Whatever" Grace mumbled as she pushed passed the blonde and made her way into the bathroom.
Several minutes later Grace came out and was a little surprised to find Beth standing there waiting for her. Grace looked slightly bashful about her attitude.
"Sorry about before" She muttered
"It's ok...I remember how it was and it's probably worse with two babies in there" Beth smiled
Grace nodded sadly
"So only two months left...you nervous?" Beth asked
"Terrified but then I can't wait to get my body back to the way it's supposed to look" Grace simply replied
"What about Sofia? She ready?" Beth asked as they headed towards the kitchen
"Yeah she's super excited about it." Grace replied though there was something else in her voice that told Beth there was more to it than that.
"She's still...dealing with not being able to have kids. But she's not really talking about it all that much. I think she just doesn't want me to worry" Grace sighed.
"I understand that" Beth replied knowingly.
"Right" Grace nodded then she realised that Beth does actually understand.
"Oh my god I can't believe how insensitive I am. You totally know what she's going through. Beth I know this is asking a lot but could you...She just needs to talk about it with someone who could understand." Grace pleaded.
"Gracie...Don't worry...I'll invite her over and we'll talk." Beth reassured her
"Thank you...I can't believe I didn't think of that before." Grace frowned feeling slightly disappointed in herself.
"Don't worry...you've had a lot to deal with these last seven months" Beth replied with a warming smile
"Thanks Beth...I know I don't say it that often and I know we've had our issues...well...my issues anyway but...I'm really glad you found my mom...our mom all those years ago." Grace mumbled shyly
"Aww I love you too Gracie" Beth teased her.
Grace blushed as she let out a small chuckled and looked down in embarrassment.
"C'mere" Beth smiled as she opened her arms.
Grace just chuckled as she shuffled closer to hug her sister.
Sofia stood by the punch bowl getting herself a drink but she was a little weary of what was actually in the punch. Becky stood next to her eyeing the concoction that was supposed to be fruit juice in the punch bowl but smelt suspiciously like something else was added.
"Maybe I'll just have water" Becky concluded
Sofia nodded in agreement and sighed as she moved to the water bottle to fill up her cup and Grace's cup. Becky couldn't help but notice the sullen mood her friend was in. In fact she had been like this for a while now and it was starting to worry the blonde.
"Everything alright Pierce?" Becky asked
"It's Fabray now" Sofia quietly mumbled.
"Whatever...it's not important. Are you ok?" Becky asked again.
"I'm fine" Sofia simply replied
"Yeah and I'm straight. Sofia you know you can talk to me about anything. I mean I told you about...that night. Maybe I can help" Becky told her.
"Thanks but I don't need help." Sofia shrugged her off.
Becky was a little hurt by Sofia brushing her off but unlike Becky, Sofia was emotionally stunted...well that was Becky's diagnosis for the brunette. After going to therapy for a while now Becky had become a lot more open with her feelings making her happier than she has ever been. She was dealing with the assault and she was dealing with her parents abandonment. No one could say she was the same person she was last year. Sure she still had her bitchy moments that will never change but she was a lot more calm and serene about her life now.
"Don't worry so much, you'll get wrinkles" Sofia joked before she headed back to where her wife was.
The moment Charlie and Ben entered Toby's old place clothes went flying and it was a miracle that they landed on the sofa and not the hard floor. There were lots of giggles and lots of kissing going on.
"Ben I...I wanna try something" Charlie nervously spoke after pulling out of a very heated make out session.
"Like what?" He panted catching his breath.
"Well...I know that we've made love several times now and every time has been amazing...more than amazing. You're so gentle and sweet and I love what we do together b-but...um" Charlie nervously laughed as she tried to voice what it was she wanted.
"Just tell me" Ben insisted with a small smile.
"I...I want...well to be blunt which I feel is the only way I can accurately articulate what it is I want...Ben I want you to fuck me" Charlie finally got it out with her cheeks looking rather pink.
Ben's eyes went wide in shock as he looked down at his sweet girlfriend and wasn't sure if he was more turned on by hearing Charlie say that or the fact that he now had a million different images fly through his mind. He would be lying if he said he'd never thought about it. He has...on several occasions but he never had the courage to do it.
Ben also felt a little guilty for thinking about it because he had conflicting feelings about just ravishing this beautiful woman he was lucky to call his girlfriend. On the one hand it would be incredibly hot and very enjoyable but on the other hand Ben respected women. He didn't want Charlie thinking that he only wanted her for that. He also didn't want to be too rough and hurt her either.
But if Charlie wanted it as much as he did and she was giving him full permission than he was not going to deny her. In all senses and purposes Charlie was a top. She liked to be in control and Ben was happy to let her. But right now, what Charlie was asking was for Ben to be the more dominant one she was willing to submit and hand him the control. Ben was a little overwhelmed by the amount of trust and love Charlie had for him in asking this.
Charlie looked up into her boyfriend's eyes with nothing but complete trust and waited for his answer. After finally finding his courage Ben nodded and gently placed a kiss onto Charlie's lips.
"I love you Charlotte" He softly whispered.
"I love you too" Charlie smiled brightly as her excitement grew.
Grace stood patiently as she waited for the woman to answer her question.
"Do you want the truth or do you want me to lie?" Hannah asked wearily
"Lie to me" Grace quickly replied
"Yes, it's terribly simple. There is no pain. You just easily push them out and there they are looking all soft and tiny and adorable. Its over within an hour and you look absolutely beautiful throughout the entire ordeal. And then you all live happily ever after." Hannah replied
"Liar" Grace smiled softly
Hannah just laughed and nodded.
"Gracie...it's gonna be tough but trust me it will be worth it and as soon as it's over you won't even remember the pain because you'll be too busy looking at these two gorgeous babies in your arms" Hannah told her.
Grace nodded with a small hesitant smile. She didn't think she would ever stop feeling scared about the upcoming birth of her two children. She had gone to the classes, read a bunch of stuff and spoken to everyone she knows who has given birth and yet she still felt unprepared. She knew the basics like her water will break, there will be contractions, and she needs to be dilated so many centimetres and then she has to push. She knows all this but what she doesn't know is how she is going to do this emotionally.
It was starting to get late as the night wore on some people were heading home and saying their goodbyes. Michael was staying that night but then he was heading back to Lima the next day the same went with Judy and Marcus. So they were going around and saying goodbye to their grandkids before they went to bed but for some reason no one could find Charlie or Ben.
By the time the last people left the Berry-Fabray house everybody else were pretty much passed out or on their way to passing out. Sometime during the night Sofia and Grace had lost Becky and Hannah. Though it wasn't that hard to guess where they ended up. The couple made their way up the stairs towards Grace's old bedroom, they were too tired to drive home so they decided to stay. Both got quite the shock when they passed Rachel and Quinn's bedroom, the door was wide open and there were way too many people on the bed.
"Oh god please tell me they have clothes on at least" Grace cringed
Sofia tiptoed into the room to make sure, she gave her wife a reassuring smile and nod.
"It's ok, all four are clothed…although I'm a little dubious about where exactly my Mami's left hand is" Sofia added as she cocked her head to the side looking down at her parents and her aunts.
"Ew…Sofia come on lets go this is just way too creepy" Grace whined
Sofia just nodded and quickly got out of there closing the door behind her.
"If we ever turn out like them and have a foursome with Hannah and Becky I give you permission to shoot me." Sofia stated
"But then who will shoot me?" Grace asked with concern.
~~~ The Morning ~~~
Like most parties at the Berry-Fabray house everyone pretty much crashes there overnight and either leave the next morning or stay for breakfast. Mercedes and Tina were passed out on the couch together while their poor husbands had to sleep on the floor. Toby and Maya along with Ally actually went back home late that night so they got to sleep in their own comfy beds.
Like most parties Hannah and Becky usually found themselves down in the basement after a night of wild monkey sex so that's where they were. Grace and Sofia took Grace's old bedroom and somehow Santana and Brittany managed to worm their way into bed with Rachel and Quinn. It was a tight fit but they were used to it by now.
Rachel was the first to wake up that morning she just smiled when she noticed the two extra bodies in her bed that day. She was content to just lay there with them but her tummy was rumbling and she needed to pee so she reluctantly got up making sure not to wake the others before making her way out of the bedroom.
Santana had managed to find herself squished in the middle of a blonde sandwich something that wasn't a bad thing by any means. She just grinned to herself as she pulled the two in closer. Brittany curled up into her wife's body resting her head on one boob while Quinn did the same on the other. When Rachel came back into the room to grab her dressing robe she couldn't help but smile at how adorable they looked. So she quickly took a photo and then headed back out again.
Mercedes and Tina managed to drag themselves to the kitchen to help Rachel with breakfast and soon enough people started to emerge out of the woodwork once food could be smelt cooking and the coffee was brewing. After the food was done Rachel headed upstairs to take a shower and wake up the sleeping beauties in her bed.
Sofia woke up stretching her limbs and yawning big but then she realized that she was alone in bed with a frown she got up to go find her missing wife. Things had been different lately between the two. Not exactly bad but it wasn't all good. They still had their fun and sexy good times and they always talked about everything and anything. On the surface it was like nothing was amiss. But underneath it was a whole different picture. Sofia could feel herself drifting it was her own fault. She had bottled up her feelings and didn't talk about it with her wife and it had put some distance between them. There were times when Sofia just felt empty and alone even when she was cuddled up to her wife but then there were times when she was just filled with happiness because she was going to be a mommy soon. The brunette hated it, she just wanted to go back to the way she felt before, she was getting tired of having to pretend that this wasn't bothering her.
Sofia made her way down the hallway to the bathroom. She figured that her wife was in there because she wasn't downstairs. The brunette opened the door and got the shock of her life.
"Oh my god Aunty Q I'm so sorry" Sofia tried not to laugh
"It's ok" Quinn mumbled as she grabbed her towel and quickly wrapped it around herself after she finished screaming.
"Well I mean it's not like I haven't seen you naked before" Sofia then added with a small smirk.
"You've never seen my boobs!" Quinn defended
"True...but I've definitely seen your vag." Sofia replied teasingly
"Oh god don't remind me" Quinn sighed in embarrassment.
Sofia just laughed.
"What are you doing here anyways?" Quinn asked to change the topic of discussion and gripped the towel tightly around her body.
"I was looking for Gracie." Sofia replied
"You know you could have knocked first" Quinn huffed
"Why would I knock if I thought it was my wife? I see her naked all the time" Sofia shrugged
"Ducky please stop saying words" Quinn cringed.
Sofia just laughed
"Well why are you using this bathroom? Don't you have a shower in your room?" Sofia asked
"I do...but...Rach kinda kicked me out of the shower because I wouldn't stop playing with her boo...I mean...um...no reason" Quinn quickly replied looking away from her niece after creating that awkward moment.
"Right...that's something I don't need to know so I'm gonna go now before this gets any more awkward." Sofia replied
"That's probably for the best." Quinn nodded
Sofia nodded in agreement and then quickly headed back downstairs and into the kitchen. Finding Grace sitting there eating some toast. Everybody had either left or gone outside to eat.
"There you are. I was looking for you" Sofia smiled at her wife giving her a quick kiss.
"Sorry I had to run out and get some bread" Grace replied with a mouthful of food.
"You should have told me. I would have gone to get it." Sofia frowned
"You were sleeping" Grace replied
"So...it's my job to do these things for you" Sofia replied
"Sofia its only a loaf of bread. I wasn't gonna wake you up for that. You do enough for me already."
"That's not the point. I told you I'd take care of you. That means getting you bread if you want bread" Sofia argued.
"Why are you getting so upset about this?" Grace asked with concern
"I'm not!"
"Then why are you yelling?" Grace then asked
"I'm going for a walk" Sofia abruptly put an end to that conversation and grabbed her jacket before she began to leave.
"Sofia stop!" Grace yelled
The Latina froze in her spot at the sound of her wife's voice. Grace made her way over to Sofia and placed her hand atop her shoulder and gently turned her around. Sofia avoided eye contact and just looked to the ground.
"Sofia please don't shut me out" Grace begged once again.
"Gracie I don't want to talk about this" Sofia quietly mumbled
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to hurt you" Sofia cried softly
Grace just looked confused and upset and she really didn't know what was going on right now.
"What do you mean?" She finally asked.
Sofia didn't respond
"Why would it hurt me?" Grace then asked a little forcefully and getting frustrated
"Because I resent you! B-Because a part of me hates that it's you and not me! I don't want to feel this Gracie I hate feeling like this. I don't want to but I can't stop feeling angry and jealous. I've tried so hard to stop feeling this way. I've tried to be there for you to do all the things that you need me to do because I love you Gracie I love you so much. But the closer we get the worse I feel...and I'm so sorry." Sofia cried
Grace didn't know what to say so she just pulled her wife in close letting her cry and get everything out.
"I don't want to feel this way Gracie" Sofia sobbed
"I know...I know" Grace softly replied.
