Three hours later.
Holly walks up the stairs carrying the little boy slumbering in her arms and walks down the hall, she opens the door leading to her niece's room and stops in her tracks as she sees both girls fast asleep on the bed. She smiles lovingly as she sees Brittany cuddled into Santana's arms and her smile brightens as she sees Santana's hands placed securely on the small of Brittany's back and clasped around the wrist of the hand holding onto Santana's right shirt. ''Girl sure is special as fuck.'' She murmurs to herself.
She slowly walks over to the bed gently placing the boy down beside his mami and watches him automatically move closer to his mother snuggling into her side, she sees Santana stir and quickly holds up a hand as her eyes shoot open in panic. ''Hey easy sweet cheeks.'' She whispers making sure to move her lips so Santana can focus on them.
Santana blinks in confusion at an unfamiliar weight against her left side and turns her head she sees Brittany tucked against her side fast asleep and bites her lip. I manage to help her sleep. She thinks to herself in surprise, she blinks away the sleep and turns to Holly. What time is it?
Holly leans down gently kissing the top of Brittany's head making sure not to move her too much and looks back at Santana after tucking the three of them in. ''Almost ten, D fell asleep two hours ago.''
Santana's eyes widen as she glances at the alarm clock on the nightstand and shakes her head looking at Holly. I am so sorry, we talked and she cried herself to sleep.
Holly shakes her head and smiles lovingly seeing the peaceful look on Brittany's face. ''Please don't apologize for anything Santana, you are the first person who manages to make her sleep for more than just fifteen minutes.'' She tells the girl making sure to talk slowly. ''Feel free to stay, I am going to head to bed too but I thought you would like to have your son cuddled up to you too.''
Santana nods her head slowly pulling her son closer and freezes as she feels Brittany stir the second his little hands land on top of hers, she looks down at her stomach watching on in amazement as she sees the hand that had a strong hold on her shirt only moments before take her sons hand in a gentle grip and turns back to Holly.
Holly watches on seeing the different emotions flicker in Santana's eyes and smiles lovingly, she winks as she looks up at her smiling sheepishly and shrugs. ''I already knew you and your little boy were special but this shows me just how special the both of you are, I am glad you are a part of her life now Santana because it looks like she can turn to you whenever she needs a long talk and a good sleep.''
Santana bites her lip gently running her finger up Brittany's lower back feeling her just cuddle further into her side and kisses the top of her sons head as he finds his way onto her chest, she looks up at Holly and smiles slightly making sure to moves her lips even slower so she understands her correctly. She can come to me whenever she wants, I will be there to help her rest and to see her this relaxed.
''I know you will sweetheart and it's highly appreciated from my and from her side.'' Holly leans down and kisses her cheek. ''Go back to sleep Santana, we will talk more tomorrow.''
Santana nods her head watching her walk away and smiles gratefully as she turns the light on the desk on before closing the door, she pulls her son closer and turns her head placing her lips on top of Brittany's head allowing her eyes to slip close to follow her son and the woman who managed to worm her way into their hearts since the first day they met into the land of dreams.
A few hours later she wakes up again feeling movement on the bed and quickly opens her eyes, she blinks as she sees Brittany leaning up on her elbow looking down at her in wonder and reclines back against the pillow behind her slowly pulling her arm back so they can communicate. Hi, what's wrong?
Brittany bites her lip still looking at her in wonder and tiredly rubs her eyes, she runs an open palm over her face and closes it near her chin tilting her head slightly. I slept.
Santana smiles lovingly seeing the surprise clear on the blonde's face in the dim light of the room and nods her head. You did, are you okay?
Brittany nods her head locking eyes with her and smiles shyly. You allowed me to sleep Santana, you.. She slowly shakes her head still surprised and bites her lip. How do you do that?
Santana tilts her head gazing up at her with a small tired smile and shrugs making sure not to wake her little boy cuddled into her right side. Do what?
Brittany runs a hand through her hair and bites her lip. This is the first time since I got back that I slept without a nightmare waking me, how did you do that?
Santana just smiles and shrugs. I didn't do anything Brittany.
Brittany gulps as soon as she sees the cute smile playing on Santana's lips and slowly runs her finger over her cheek, she bites her lip as she sees Santana's eyes slide down to her lips and licks her own.
She gulps thickly as she gazes into intense brown orbs and blinks slowly, she looks between them still feeling the tiredness in her bones and smiles shyly. Do you mind being my cuddle buddy for a few more hours?
Santana inwardly sighs in relief as the blonde breaks their intense staring and quickly shakes her head. No not at all, come here. She wraps her arm back around Brittany's waist and places her hand on the small of her back gently pulling her closer, she freezes her face heating up as she feels soft lips on her cheek and turns her head to look at her.
Brittany smiles shyly and gulps. ''Just thank you Santana.'' She says slowly making sure she can read her lips, she nuzzles her face against her shoulder as she just nods her head with a kind smile and closes her eyes as she feels soft plump lips against her forehead.
The feelings this woman gives me. She thinks to herself as she closes her eyes allowing her body to relax completely, she wraps her arm around Santana's midsection finding a little arm already placed there and gently places her hand on Diego's back not noticing the little boy smiling brightly before quickly closing his eyes to go back to sleep.
Soon mami will be happy, Britty makes mami happy, Britty is good for her and good to me. The little boy thinks as he chases after his dreams again one last thought playing on his mind. Gracias god for making mami finally happy and for bringing Britty into our lives.
