Flashback 2005
Brittany holds on tightly to Santiago's hands as he leads her somewhere, he's taking her on a surprise date. They've been at the UConn campus for a week now and have been getting to know they're way around the school before practices start.
"Where are you taking me?" Brittany asks.
"Somewhere special." Santiago says smirking.
"San," Brittany says.
"Britt just let me surprise you." Santiago begs.
"Fine," Brittany says allowing him to lead her wherever they are going.
He smiles happy that she's actually letting him surprise her. It's not often that she lets him do that as she likes to know what's happening. He wants to treat her like a princess on some dates before they get too busy with practices and games to spend much time together. With both of them being as good as they are and their teams being as good as they are neither of them will have much free time from November till the beginning of April.
"Okay close your eyes." Santiago says smiling to himself.
"You're not leading me into a sex dungeon or something?" Brittany questions.
"Sex dungeon really babe?" Santiago chuckles.
"Well knowing you it very well could be." Brittany counters.
"Like you would complain about it." Santiago says.
"True," Brittany says as they both like having sex.
"We're here," Santiago says stopping them.
Brittany opens her eyes and gasps when she sees where they are.
"You didn't," Brittany says giving him a big fat kiss.
"I figured you'd like to spend the day helping take care of homeless animals while they wait for their forever home." Santiago says so happy that she's happy.
"You know me so well babe." Brittany says kissing him again.
"You like it right?" Santiago asks just to make sure.
"San this is the best date you've ever taken me on." Brittany says.
They're shown around and get help on which dogs they will walking today. The smile on Brittany's face as she gets kisses from a black medium size long hair dog is exactly why he brought her here.

"You took mom to the humane society as a date? How have we not heard of this before?" Amelia asks her dad.
"Hey she loved it and ended up volunteering there quite often." Santiago says.
Brittany giggles at her husband as he gets into a heated discussion with their sons on good dates verses bad dates.
"Grandma," Gracie says climbing in her lap. "Did you really like the date?" she asks.
"Yes, it was one of the best dates he ever took me on." Brittany says smiling over at him.
"It was one of the last really great things I did for your grandma in college." Santiago softly says. "I was an ass in the latter half of the year."
"You were just confused and needed your space." Brittany calmly says patting his knee. "Plus it wasn't until later we had some good times."
"What happened? You've never fully explained what happened." Julia asks for the group.
"No judging your father okay." Brittany says.
Flashback 2005
Basketball season has just started and Brittany despite being very busy with practice, workouts and school work on top of that misses her boyfriend. They've hardly seen each other outside of training. It's been hard for them to find time to themselves.
"Pierce get your head out of the clouds and rebound!" Chris Daly shouts.
"Sorry coach," Brittany says running back into the play.
Even though practices have been hard, she's still having fun and keeps a smile on her face. She especially likes working with Chris Daly who's helping her with her post moves.
"Good job Pierce!"
"Everyone let's go back to the inbound drill." Geno shouts causing Chris to frown at him.
The end practice with a half-court shot contest which Rene ends up winning to no one's surprise.
"Brittany!" Barbara a sophomore on the team shouts jogging after her.
"What's up?" Brittany asks slowing down her pace.
"Well we're having a sleepover at Rene's apartment for the team you know trying to build chemistry and all." Barbara says. "So it would be great if you could come."
"I have to see what my boyfriend is up to, we're supposed to hangout tonight." Brittany says frowning.
"I'll text you the address and come if you can." Barbara says pulling out her phone.
"Okay," Brittany says checking her own phone to make sure he didn't cancel on her again.
Across the campus Santiago is playing a game of pickup with a few of his teammates. Thus far unlike high school he's gotten along with all his teammates and has been spending all his free time with them.
"Watch this," Santiago says smirking as he crosses over steps back and flings the ball over his shoulder, sinking the shot.
"Okay man how did you do that?" Greg the starting point guard asks.
"It used to be the only way I could make a shot over my girlfriend." Santiago says.
"Wait you have a girlfriend?" Ray another guard asks.
"Yeah, I thought you all knew." Santiago says frowning.
"I didn't," Ray says.
"Neither did I." Greg says.
"Me either," Rashard adds yet another guard.
"Oh well I do she's on the women's team." Santiago says.
"Then why are you always with us? If I had a girlfriend I sure as hell wouldn't spend half as much time with these losers." Ray says.
"We're both very busy and hardly have free time at the same time which is why I have to leave. I'm spending the rest of the day with her so I'll see you all later." Santiago says tossing them the ball.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Rashard shouts after him.
Santiago shakes his head at his friends jogging towards the cafeteria where he's meeting her after her practice. Just by luck they arrive at the exact same time.
"Hey babe," Santiago says taking her bag.
"Sanny," Brittany practically shouts wrapping her arms around his neck.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" Santiago asks.
"Maybe just watch a movie and snuggle." Brittany hopefully says.
"So long as we can have a happy ending I'm cool." Santiago says wrapping his arm around her waist.
Brittany slaps his chest and then kisses his cheek.
"You just might." Brittany whispers.
"Score, Santiago says fist pumping before wrapping his arm back around her.
"I have missed you these last few weeks." Brittany says snuggling into him as they walk back to her dorm.
"I know babe and I'm sorry that I've been spending too much time with my teammates and we need to spend more time together." Santiago admits.
"We both need to make more time for each other. I've also been busy with my teammates. It's both of us." Brittany says laying her head on his shoulder.
"It's good to hear that it's not just me." Santiago says opening the door into her dorm building.
"Well we are under a lot of pressure between school work, practices, trying to find out way with our teammates and then we have our relationship. Something was bound to fall off a bit, but hopefully we can find a better balance." Brittany says unlocking her dorm room.
"We will," Santiago confidently says.
They get settled down and end up watching Big Hero 6 which is Brittany's current favorite movie. Personally Santiago likes more action than animated, but he watches them for his girlfriend. Plus he can normally distract her halfway through the movie.
"Britt," Santiago moans as she cups him over his sweatpants.
"I want you so bad." Brittany moans climbing on top of him.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brittany's knee is bouncing as they all sit in the locker room about an hour before their first game. Her parents have made the long drive here to watch her first game along with Santiago's parents since his first game is tomorrow. She's thankful that he can be here for the game as when she sees him it always calms her down.
"Calm down," Barbara says who has become Brittany's best friend on the team.
"How can I? This is our first game and I'm starting." Brittany says freaking out.
"Because if you don't then you'll freak yourself out of playing well." Barbara says.
There's a knock at the door and a muffled is everyone decent.
"Yes!" is collectively shout.
Santiago opens the door and scans the room looking for his girlfriend. His smile grows when he sees her sitting in front of her locker.
"Hey babe," Santiago says walking over towards her.
"Sanny," Brittany says wrapping her arms around his neck. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to wish you luck." Santiago says.
She smiles huge at him pulling him into a deep kiss.
"Thank you so much." Brittany whispers into his lips kissing him again.
"Like I wasn't going to come wish my girl good luck before her first game." Santiago says.
She pulls him down to sit next to her and leans into him. Just having him next to her has calmed her down a lot. He's always been her biggest fan and that's always given her lots of confidence.
"You're going to have to leave before coach comes in." Brittany softly says not wanting him to leave.
"I'll leave only if you promise to come see me before my game tomorrow." Santiago says holding out his pinky.
"Of course I'll be there." Brittany says wrapping her pinky around his.
"I'll be right behind the bench with our parents." Santiago says kissing her.
"Are you getting along with your dad?" Brittany asks curious.
"I'll tell you later." Santiago says getting up and heading out.
"Your man is mighty fine." Rene says sitting next to her.
"Thanks," Brittany says smiling.
Just then Geno comes in and everyone shuts up to pay attention to him. He gives them a speech and goes over the game plan.
"Okay ladies go out and warm up." Geno says finally finishing up.
Brittany's nerves come back a bit as they head into the crowded arena. This is the most people she's ever played in front of. She looks behind the bench seeing her parent's and the Lopez's talking while Santiago notices her and waves.
"Come on Britt we've got to warm up." Barbara says.
"I'm coming," Brittany says tearing her away from her boyfriend.
"He'll be there all game just focus on playing." Rene wisely says. "We need you to play well to beat Cal."
"Don't worry I'll play my best." Brittany says. "Can't let him out play me." she says smirking.
"Oh so it's a competition between you two?" Bria asks another freshman on the team.
"It's an unspoken competition that I won three out of four years in high school." Brittany says all smiles.
"Wasn't he the top high school player the last two years?" Rene asks before she gets passed the ball and passes to the player going to the basket.
They're in the layup line and have to wait until they get through before continuing on.
"He was, but I was the top female player for two and one of the top the other two years." Brittany says. "In fact our freshman and sophomore year I was better than him. I have four state titles and he has two."
This causes the girls to all laugh and look over at him. The rest of their warm up they casual talk about what they'll have to do to win before the clock goes to zero and it's time to start this game finally. When Brittany's name is announced a loud cheer comes from her family and high screams from her younger siblings. She smiles at them glad that they all could come and that the Lopez's are here as well.
"Go Brittany!" Rubio shouts when she steps into the circle to take the jump ball.
"Dad," Santiago says blushing as everyone is looking at them.
"What do you not want me to cheer for her?" Rubio asks very confused.
"Can't you take it down a notch or two." Santiago pleas.
"But I'm just getting warmed up for your game tomorrow." Rubio says shrugging not really caring.
It took most of the summer, but Rubio finally came around to his son going to UConn and actually thinks it will be good for him.
"Of course you are dad." Santiago says actually glad that his dad has come around.
Brittany wins the jump and runs to the right block where Rene bullets a pass into her and she lays it in. The whole place erupts as they all know that Brittany's going to be scoring a lot for them over the next four years. Running back down the court she high fives Barbara.
"Way to go Britt!" Santiago shouts standing up.
"And he told me to be quiet." Rubio tells them.
"Well that is your son." Susan says.
"They really are so similar." Maria whispers.
Connecticut ends up winning the game easily ninety to fifth four. Brittany scored twenty-two points, fifteen rebounds, three assists, two steals and six blocks. All and all one of the better first games by a freshman.
"That was an okay first game." Geno says to his team. "There's still plenty of room to improve, but I have to say good game Brittany. You played a very good game."
"Good job Brittany, I see all that extra practice we put in really has paid off." Chris says clapping her on the back.
"Thanks Coach," Brittany says all smiles.
It takes them twenty minutes to shower and get dressed in street clothes before they head back into the arena to see their families.
"San," Brittany says wrapping her arms around him.
"You played so well baby." Santiago says kissing her.
"Thanks," Brittany says blushing.
"You did so well."
"Yes you did."
Her siblings shout trying to hug her even though she's still in Santiago's arms and doesn't plan to move from them any time soon.
"I'm so proud of you." Susan says pulling her eldest daughter into her own arms.
"Best game I've ever seen you play." Paul sweetly says to his daughter.
"Thanks," Brittany says again her blush deepening.
"If you continue like this you'll definitely be playing pro ball after you graduate." Rubio says extremely proud of her.
"You certainly played extremely well." Maria adds.
This of course deepens her blush even more.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Santiago's first game goes just as well as Brittany's, scoring twenty-nine points and grabbing eleven rebounds. The only person prouder than Brittany of his play is Rubio himself. Never had he imagined that his son would out play how well he did. After seeing the first game Rubio knows his son will play pro ball and most likely enter this upcoming draft. Nothing could make him more proud.
"I can't believe how well we both played." Brittany says lying next to Santiago trying to catch her breath.
"I know what you mean I thought it would be harder." Santiago says pulling her back on top of him.
"It definitely will be all the players are good we're just better." Brittany says kissing him. "You ready for round two?" she asks.
"You bet I am." Santiago says feeling himself getting hard again.
End Flashback
"That's not mean or depressing." Gracie says. "That's actually really sweet."
"Yeah mom," Julia says.
"I thought you two-"
"Shut up Willie." Ben says cutting him off. "Not everyone knows that part of the story." he adds.
"Okay enough if you would let us continue then you would hear the reason I warned you." Brittany says.
"I think it might be time for bed." Santiago says seeing the younger grandkids yawning. "We'll continue this story tomorrow."
"But grandpa," Gracie whines.
"Come on sweetie." Carter says picking up his daughter.
Slowly the room empties leaving only Brittany and Santiago sitting next to each other.
"I truly am sorry for the pain I caused you. Had I known I would have been there." Santiago softly says for like the thousandth time since they got back together.
"I know you would have." Brittany says kissing him having long forgiven him.
Flashback 2006
It's twenty games into the season and both the men's and women's teams are ranked in the top ten. The women's team is unbeaten and ranked number two while the men's team is ranked number eight and is seventeen and three.
"Do you think he'll be surprised?" Rene asks as her, Brittany, Barbara, Bria, Carrie and Sophie all arrive at the guy's game.
Normally they'd have a game or be traveling on the guys game days, but this time they arrived early so they're going to support Brittany.
"He'd better be." Brittany says half-jokingly. "Since he wasn't supposed to know that I'm coming."
"You know his group of groupies will be there." Barbara says knowing that Brittany has been having a difficult time with all the attention he's been getting.
"Yeah," Brittany grumpily says.
"Don't worry we all know he only has eyes for you." Sophie reminds her.
The manage to get seats behind the bench and they all glare at the group of girls that walk in with Santiago's number painted on their faces. Brittany's glare is the scariest of them all, scaring a number of the girls into wiping the number off of their cheeks.
"Go San!" Brittany shouts waving at him when the team comes out.
Santiago has to do a double take before smiling and jogging over to her.
"Hey baby I didn't know you would be here." Santiago says kissing her cheek.
"We got back early and I wanted to surprise you." Brittany says. "Now go warm up before your coach yells at me."
"Yes ma'am," Santiago says saluting.
Brittany smiles and chuckles at how silly he is.
"See I told you he only has eyes for you." Sophie says.
"I know," Brittany says glaring over at his groupies who are behind the scorer's table.
When they announce the starters and Santiago's name is called he blows a kiss to Brittany which causes the crowd to all say awe. She catches the kiss and blows one back.
"Dude your girlfriend is hot." Ray says.
"Don't be looking at my girlfriend." Santiago growls jumping up high and winning the jump ball.
It's tight through the first three quarters as South Florida is playing really good defense. Santiago has yet to really go off only having six points. The score is fifty to fifty-three with UConn leading.
"We're going to run the motion offense that the women's team runs and hopefully get Santiago some open shots." the coach says.
"Just think of showing off for your girlfriend then maybe you'll play better." Greg says shoving into him.
"Hey I have been playing well." Santiago says.
"No you haven't." Greg says.
"You haven't been playing well step it up man. We need you to start scoring so we can win, we should be crushing them." Ray tells him.
With that the game starts up again and the first time down the court Santiago manages to get open for a twenty foot jump shot.
"Keep working baby!" Brittany shouts when he hits the shot.
This gives him an extra boost and he steals the ball from the guard, easily laying it up.
"Nice D," Ray shouts as Santiago jogs back down the floor.
"Two, one, two!" Santiago shouts.
Having a fire lite under his ass now he scores twelve straight points and their lead increases to ten. By the end of the game they're up by twenty and the starters are out.
"Coach can I leave?" Santiago asks wanting to spend time with his girlfriend.
"Sure, but make sure that you're at the meeting tomorrow." the coach says.
"Thanks Coach," Santiago says running into the locker room to change quickly.
He wants to spend the night with his girlfriend for the first time in over two weeks. Neither of them have anything to do until after noon tomorrow.
"Britt," Santiago says coming up from behind her and wraps his arms around her. "We get to spend the whole night together if you don't already have plans."
"Even if I did I'd cancel them to spend time with you." Brittany says kissing him.
"Good, now ladies if you don't mind I'm going to take my woman here and we're going to go snuggle and watch a movie." Santiago says putting his jacket around her.
"Have sex," Rene coughs under her breath.
"Good game Santiago." the group of fan girls say walking over.
"Fuck this," Brittany growls ready to fight them.
"Ignore them babe, I love you and only you." Santiago reassures her.
"I know, I just hate when girls flirt with you." Brittany pouts.
"And I hate it too." Santiago says.
She snuggles into him walking out of the guy and to his truck. Being as it's February not only is it very cold, but it's snowing which is why he drove.
"Are they at every game?" Brittany asks.
"Yes, but I don't give them any time of day." Santiago says hoping she won't be angry.
"I wish I could come to all your games." Brittany says snuggling more into him when they head out into the cold.
"I know what you mean, I wish I could come to all your games to scare away the guys who no doubt want you." Santiago says kissing her cheek.
"There may be a few." Brittany says blushing at how he easily causes all her worries to go away.
Santiago laughs scooping her up in his arms jogging over to the car. She wraps her arms around his neck squealing when he places her in his truck.
"Are we going to do what I think we are?" Brittany asks all smiles.
"It's been far too long." Santiago says climbing in on top of her.
"Now this should be interesting." Brittany says smirking, pulling him into a deep kiss.
"Oh god," Santiago moans as her hand sneaks down his pants and wraps her fingers around him. "Yes babe, don't stop." he breathlessly moans.
"Come for me San." Brittany whispers in his ear.
She uses her other hand and grabs his balls, squeezing them as she continues to pump.
"Fuck I'm going to come." Santiago groans throwing his head first back then falling forward onto her shoulder.
She doesn't stop until he shoots strings of cum on her shirt.
"Wow," Brittany says looking down at the cum on her shirt.
"I'm sorry babe, I couldn't hold off anymore." Santiago says starting to fuss over cleaning her shirt.
"San relax," Brittany says stopping him. "The point was to get you to come." she says lifting her shirt up.
"Fuck," he says staring at her gorgeous boobs gets him instantly hard again.
He kisses her gently pushing her down across the back seat. Already having her shirt off she kicks off her shoes and pants.
"So fucking gorgeous." he breaths staring down at her perfect body.
She tugs on his shirt wanting to see his amazing abs and he obliges by removing it and kicking off his pants.
"I want you so bad." Brittany moans wrapping her legs and arms around him, pulling him completely on top of her.
"Fuck babe," Santiago says gripping himself.
"I need you in me now." Brittany orders bucking up into him.
He pulls off the rest of their clothes, kissing her.
"Tell me if it's too much." Santiago softly says lining up and hovering right above her.
"San," she moans as he pushes into her.
She pushes on his back wanting him to start doing something. He starts off very slowly kissing her lips every time he bottoms out.
"Harder," she moans in his ear.
"Babe I'm going to blow." Santiago groans.
"Well then blow and then finish me off I'm getting close." Brittany says.
He pushes in and stills as he comes in her before continuing to thrust.
"Oh god right there." Brittany moans digging her nails into his back.
"Let go," Santiago whispers in her ear.
"Fuck," Brittany groans bucking up into him and letting go.
He falls down on top of her kissing her.

"Mr. Lopez is it true that you've already declared for the draft now that your team has lost?" a reporter asks.
"Yes," Santiago asks at their elite eight post-game news conference.
The men's team lost to Duke in a close game where Santiago scored forty-five points. Since February he's been getting calls from agents wanting to represent him as NBA team have been seen at his games scouting him. Though this is the first time that he's made any statement about it.
"Santiago you want to come to the strip club with us?" Greg asks as the whole team is going.
"Sure hold on let me call Britt first." Santiago says walking away to have more privacy.
He's been thinking of breaking up with Brittany for a while now, being so popular and entering the draft he doesn't want to be held down anymore. Sure he still loves her, but he wants to play the field like all his friends do. Taking a deep he dials Brittany's number hoping that she's not at practice or something and can talk.
'Hey babe sorry you lost.' Brittany says smiling at the fact that her boyfriend called.
While the men's team lost in the elite eight the women's team is playing tomorrow and is heavily favored to make it to the final four in Dallas.
'Yeah it sucks, but you still have a chance.' Santiago says very nervous.
'You'll come to Dallas if we win right?' Brittany happily asks.
'No Britt I don't think that's a good idea.' Santiago says.
'What are you talking about?' Brittany says getting very worried about where this conversation is going.
'I think we need time apart.' Santiago says biting his lip.
'Are you breaking up with me?' Brittany asks tears starting to form as she realizes what is going on.
'Our lives are headed in different directions now and dating you just isn't working for me anymore.' Santiago says just wanting to get this over with now.
At this point Brittany is sobbing so much that Santiago can't understand anything she's saying. So he just hangs up and runs to catch up with his teammates. Now a free man and able to do whatever he wants.
"What an asshole." Rene says as the whole team comforts a sobbing Brittany.
"Don't worry you can do better than that jerk." Barbara says hugging her best friend.
End Flashback
Brittany kisses her husband and cups his face.
"I love you so much." Brittany softly says.
"I'm so sorry for being such an asshole." Santiago says tears falling.
"I know you are and you have made it up to me tenfold." Brittany says. "Let's head to bed ourselves."
"Do I get sex?" Santiago hopefully asks.
"Not with the kids and grandkids here." Brittany says slapping his arm.
"But we always have sex." Santiago grumbles.
"And we will when they leave. Now up to bed old man." Brittany says.
"Hey I'm not old."
The following morning the grandkids are all sitting on their grandparent's bed ready for the story to continue.
"So do you think that they will finally tell us why they broke up?" Julia asks Jordy.
"No, but maybe we'll finally find out why mom didn't tell dad." Jordy says.
Santiago clears his throat causing all of them to quiet down and face him.
"So after I broke up with your grandma I thought things went amazing for me." Santiago starts.
Flashback 2006
"Are you excited?" Trevor Santiago's agent asks.
"Of course he is." Rubio says slapping his son on the back.
"Do you really think I'll be drafted in the top five tomorrow?" Santiago hopefully asks.
"Yes the Lakers and Knicks have both expressed interest in you." Trevor says.
"All you need to do is have a good workout and you'll be a top five pick." Rubio happily says.
Santiago smiles everything is going according to plan. He's going to be drafted and play in the NBA just like his dad. On top of that he's a better player than his dad.
"Babe," Courtney one of the cheerleader's and Santiago's newest fling says.
"Hold on I'm coming." Santiago says. "Dad I have to go. Can you deal with the rest of this?" he asks.
"Of course I can." Rubio says so happy for his son.
This is everything that he has ever wanted for his son. Becoming a huge star. The only thing he doesn't like is that Brittany is no longer in the picture. He can tell that since they broke up something has been off with his son, but since he won't talk about it he's just dropped it. Though he wishes Brittany still was in the picture.
"Don't worry dad I'll break up with her before the draft." Santiago says before running after her. "So where are we headed babe?" he asks.
"To a party held at the Delta house." Courtney says kissing his cheek.
"Sounds like fun." Santiago says wrapping his arm around her.
Across town Brittany is having a complete and utter freak out. She's at the doctor's office and just got the most shocking news ever.
"I'm seriously pregnant." Brittany asks staring at the woman.
"Yes, I'd say you're about two months pregnant." the doctor says.
"How could I have not noticed." Brittany asks mostly herself.
"Everything looks good and I'll see you in a month." the doctor tells her.
"Thanks," Brittany says.
She walks out and heads to her car unsure of what exactly she is going to do. She's pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby. She has no idea what her plans are. If she keeps the baby then she'll have to take next season off since she's due in either October or November. Or she can terminate and not lose a season. Her only concern is that she might not get back to her current ability. She needs to talk to someone about this. Since she just finished finals she decides that her best option is to fly home and talk to her mom about this.
"I can't believe this is happening." she whispers to herself.
Back at the house party Santiago is having the time of his life dancing with a bunch of girls. This will be his last college party and he plans on making the most of it.
"Santiago," Courtney sternly says when she sees him dancing with a bunch of other girls.
"Hey babe," Santiago says grinding on one of the girls.
"What are you doing?" Courtney asks getting pissed.
"Just having some fun." Santiago says.
"With other girls?" Courtney says trying to pull him away.
"Babe you knew what you were getting into to that I don't want to settle down." Santiago says following her into the kitchen to grab a drink.
"You're such an as I don't know how Brittany put up with you so long." Courtney says.
"Well get used it I told you we weren't exclusive." Santiago says shrugging.
"Then I guess we're through nice knowing, not." Courtney says stomping away.
Santiago shrugs downing his beer before heading back out on the dance floor.

"God dad you were an ass." Jordy says.
"Don't bag on your father he was only nineteen. Need I remind you what you were like at nineteen." Brittany says staring her son down.
"Sorry mom," Jordy says.
"Back to the story I want to hear more." Gracie says.
"Well this next part is mostly your grandma's to tell." Santiago says still after all these years he feels awful for what happened.
Flashback 2006 Brittany
"Honey," Susan says wrapping her arms around her daughter.
"I've missed you so much mom." Brittany sobs.
Susan thinks that her daughter is still upset over the fact that that little punk Santiago broke up with her.
"You won't have to see him; Maria said he's not coming back this summer." Susan softly says.
"Oh mom," Brittany says sobbing even harder. "I'm pregnant."
Honestly she's terrified, but just seeing her mom made her just blurt it out unable to hold it in anymore. The only person she's told is her coach who said that no matter what she's on the team and that she could redshirt next year. Hearing him be so supportive meant the world to her especially since she still isn't sure what to do.
"Oh honey," Susan says leading her into the living room. "It's Santiago's isn't it?" she asks.
"Yes," Brittany manages to say.
"It's okay honey we'll figure it out." Susan says sitting her down. "Whatever you want to do your father and I will support you."
"Thanks mom," Brittany says. "I told Coach and he was very supportive too, but I don't know what I want to do."
"The first thing is are you going to tell Santiago?" Susan asks.
"No, he's been an asshole and doesn't deserve to know." Brittany sternly says. "Since he broke up with me he's been sleeping around, dating several women at a time and bad mouthing me."
"I think you should tell him, but if you don't want to tell him then that's what we'll do." Susan says thinking that her daughter is really still heartbroken over their breakup.
"Thanks mom for always supporting me." Brittany says.
A few days later Brittany meets up with Quinn who home for the summer and she's stayed in contact with.
"I can't believe he broke up with you." is the first that she says to Brittany.
"I know right." Brittany says.
"And he didn't have the dance to do it face to face." Quinn says shaking her head.
"Not just that but he won't return my calls texts or even speak to me and has been sleeping around." Brittany says starting to break down.
"Brittany," Quinn sadly says knowing how much the blonde loves him.
"It's just hard you know." Brittany sniffles.
"Well I'm home for the summer so I'll help you get over him." Quinn says hugging her.
"It's not just that…." Brittany trails off tears starting to form.
"What else did he do? Do I have to go find him and beat him?" Quinn seriously asks.
"You don't have to worry about that my dad already wants to do that." Brittany says wiping away tears. "What I'm about to tell you, you have to promise not to freak out or tell anyone until I'm ready." she says.
"Britt you know whatever you have to say I'll keep it a secret for you." Quinn says.
"I'm pregnant-" Brittany says.
"He's the father isn't he?" Quinn growls.
"Yes and he doesn't know and I don't want to tell him." Brittany quickly says.
For a few moments it looks like Quinn wants to say something, but she doesn't and instead says.
"I'm here for you whatever you decide."
"I'm going to keep the baby, but I'm not telling San about it." Brittany says.
"I think you should tell him, but I'll support you with your decision." Quinn says hugging her best friend.
Brittany can't help but laugh at how much that sounds like her mom.
Santiago
Santiago's all smiles talking to reporters at the NBA draft. He's just been drafted number two overall by the Golden State Warriors. Nothing could ever beat this feeling. Seeing his dad smiling so proud of him and his mom there just makes the day even better. There is one small thing that he misses and that's seeing Brittany's smiling face. After breaking up with her, he was an ass not wanting to speak or see her knowing it would break him and he would get back together with her. But now four months later he's starting to regret his decision. They always talked about being drafted and not having her here is making him a little sad.
"You've done way better than I could have ever imagined, drafted number two." Rubio says wrapping his son up in a hug.
"Thanks dad," Santiago says so very happy that he's finally made his dad proud.
"I know I was against you going to UConn, but I think it might have made you even better." Rubio says.
Maria is all smiles watching her son and husband getting along perhaps the best since Santiago was a baby.
"We're both so very proud of you." Maria says pulling him into a hug.
"Thanks for everything mom." Santiago says kissing her cheek.
"Now this is your day go have some fun." Maria says.
"Just remember you only have two weeks before summer league starts. You need to stay sharp." Rubio reminds him.
"I know dad." Santiago says. "I've got to go see my girl though I promised Makenzie that I'd meet up with her after the draft."
Santiago leaves and Maria looks over to her husband.
"I don't like this." Maria says.
"He's just being a teenager, he'll settle down in a few years and Brittany might come back in the picture." Rubio says knowing this is the reason she's so upset.
"I hope so, Susan and myself are having a hard time hanging out together since neither of us are talking about the kids." Maria sadly says.
"But you still are right?" Rubio asks as he and Paul haven't since Santiago broke up with Brittany.
"Yes, I think time will make it easier." Maria says.
