Chapter 26

Four Months Later...

"Ella, baby, stop moving around. Mama's trying to wash you." Santana said as she ran the bright pink sponge down her daughters back as the baby giggled and flailed her hands about in the air. Santana chuckled and pressed her nose to the baby's chubby cheek, "What's funny?"

Ella smacked her hands against the water and laughed again. Santana smiled.

"Are you funny, monkey? Are you making yourself laugh?" Santana asked as she scrubbed the soap into Ella's back gently while the baby smiled at her. Ella's tiny nose scrunched up and she giggled again, "You silly girl."

Santana continued to bathe the giggling baby before hoisting her out of the baby bath and wrapping her in her giraffe towel. Santana carried her four month old daughter to her bedroom and lay her down on the changing table, chuckling as the infant kicked her legs like a frog.

"Okay, sweetums, what shall we wear for the park?" The latina asked as she rubbed the baby with the towel, drying her wet skin, "Do you wanna wear that pretty dress that meema gave you?"

Ella kicked her legs and gurgled.

"Okay... how about your mickey mouse outfit?"

Ella smiled and smacked her hands together. Santana chuckled.

"The mickey mouse outfit it is." Santana said, placing her hand on Ella's round belly and leaning toward the cupboard, opening it and taking out the mickey mouse outfit along with a sunhat. After Ella was dressed, had on a new diaper, was covered in suncream and wearing her hat, Santana placed the baby on her hip while throwing the handle of the diaper bag over her shoulder, "Are you excited to see Aunty Quinn and Beth?"

Ella gurgled.

"Me too, monkey." Santana said, "We haven't seen them in a while, huh?"

Ella smiled.

Santana kissed the baby's forehead and opened the door to the garage, walking in and shutting it behind her. She clicked the button on her carkeys to unlock the car and opened the trunk, placing the diaper bag in on top of the stroller before closing the trunk and opening the back door of the car, placing Ella into her carseat and buckling the baby up.

"Okay, gorgeous, you ready to go?" She asked. Ella stared at her with big blue eyes and let some drool dribble from herher mouth. Santana reached over the seat and grabbed the bib, putting it on her daughter and wiping Ella's mouth. She pecked Ella's cheek before closing the door and walking around the car, climbing in and starting it up. The garage opened after Santana clicked the button on her remote. She quickly took out her phone and checked her texts.

From: Britt-Britt

Hey, my lovely! Hope you and the munchkin are having a good day. Just got to work. There was a giant accident on the way here so I was stuck in traffic. Go the long way to the park, you'll miss the traffic. I love you two girls tons and I'll see you later. Picking up Chinese for dinner. Xx

Santana smiled and locked her phone, pulling out of the garage and closing it as soon as she was in the driveway.

"Okay, beetle-bug, let's go to the park."

"Ella, baby, don't eat that. It's sand. It's not good." Santana said as she sat with Quinn and watched her daughter sitting in the sandbox with Beth. A huge, gummy smile on her face as she licked sand from her hand, "Ella! Stop licking the sand!" She said again, watching her daughter smile at her as she continued to lick the sand, "Jesus, you'd think she'd realize that it doesn't taste good." Santana mumbled to Quinn before standing up and walking over to the sandbox. She held Ella's hand and wiped all the sand off of it before wiping her mouth and sticking out her tongue, "Blegh. Not good."

Ella smiled again and smacked her hands together excitedly.

"Good girl." Santana said, kissing Ella's head before walking back over to Quinn. She sat down next to the blonde and sighed, "Look at how naughty she is. I just cleaned her hands and she's licking the god damned sand again."

"Yeah, she'll do that. Beth was naughty too." Quinn said, "It's best to just let them. They'll learn."

"Mmm,"

"So, how've you been, mama bear? How's your little family doing?" Quinn asked with a smile. Santana adjusted her sunglasses and sighed

"Good. Good. I'm tired but, the good part is that so is Brittany. Which means I'm not the one doing all the work." Santana said with a chuckle, "It's lovely."

Quinn laughed.

"Mmm," she said, "is Britt working hard?"

"Yeah, actually. She's really loving her new job." Santana replied, "And it pays well so that's a bonus."

"Well that's good to hear. Has she made any friends?"

"Yeah," Santana said, "She's always talking about a girl called, uh... I think it's Jade? Not sure. Anyways, apparently Jade has a 13 month old and her and Britt are really getting along."

"Oh, that's good. Is Jade married?"

"Quinn, Brittany's not cheating on me." Santana said with a roll of her eyes, "They're just friends. And yes, Jade has a husband named Carl or Craig or Crarl or someone."

"Just checking." Quinn said with a sigh, "I'm not saying that Brittany would ever cheat on you but she's... nevermind."

"Ella! Baby, that's a rock. It's not food." Santana said with an exasperated sigh as she stood up and jogged over to where Ella was now sitting in the grass, a rock in her one hand and mud on her other.

As Santana jogged her way to Ella, a spot of mud got caught under her shoe, causing her to slip and twist her ankle, falling to her knee with her right leg spread out and her foot twisted.

"Hss, mother f-fiver." She hissed as she sat in the grass and brought her ankle toward her, squeezing it with her hands as she clenched her eyes shut and let her face contort in pain. Quinn sprang up and moved quickly toward the latina, kneeling down next to her and helping her up.

"Can you stand on it?" Quinn asked gently as she held Santana's upper arms.

"No." Santana answered.

"Okay," Quinn said, "You wait here. I'm gonna put Ella in your car and put Beth in your car too. Then I'll come back and get you, okay? We're going to the ER to make sure you haven't broken anything."

Ella began to cry.

"Ssh, baby girl, mama's okay. Mama's okay. I just made a owey, angel, that's all."

And Ella stopped crying, blue eyes focused on her mother.

After the doctor has checked everything out and done some tests, she walked into the room with Santana's results.

"Okay, Mrs Pierce, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Um," Santana hummed with a sigh, "the bad news."

"Alright, your ankle is sprained and you are going to have to stay off of it for about a month. We'll supply you with crutches so, not to worry about that."

"Alright," Santana said with a frustrated sigh as she ran her hand through her hair, "What's the good news then?"

"The good news, Mrs Pierce, is that you are one month along."

"I'm sorry, along from what?"

"You're pregnant, Mrs Pierce."

Santana stared blankly at the doctor and her mouth fell agape. She inhaled deeply through her nose and exhaled out her mouth.

"But, I just had a baby four months ago." Santana said.

"Well, you'll be having another in eight months time." The doctor said, "Congratulations."

"I'm really pregnant?" The latina asked, still shocked, watching as the doctor gave her a small smile and a nod, "I'm really pregnant."
