After waking up from a relaxing sleep with no nightmare waking her up at all, Brittany walks into her aunts apartment after having breakfast with Santana and Diego. She kicks off her shoes walking into the living room and chuckles as she sees her aunt already looking at her with a big shit eating grin. ''You are so damn creepy.'' She mutters shaking her head, she walks over to her and leans down kissing her cheek. ''Hi.''
Holly laughs pulling her on the couch before she can run upstairs and shakes her head as she groans. ''Oh no, no groaning. Spit it out kid, you look rested so you slept more than tasting the sweet rainbow?''
Brittany's eyes widen and quickly pushes her aunt, shaking her head as she burst out laughing. ''Aunt H!'' She blushes as she just laughs louder and covers her face. ''Nothing happened, we just talked and went to bed.'' She looks at her and smiles slightly. ''Had the best night rest since a week.''
''No nightmare?'' Holly asks smiling happily, Brittany shakes her head and smiles shyly.
''No nightmare, I don't know what the hell San does but it sure is helping.''
''She is there and shows her the calmed you need, Puck, Q and I try but we worry and you feel that in your sleep.'' Holly tells her quickly sobering up as she hears the confusion in her voice. ''You look really happy though, you sure nothing happened?''
''The three of you calm me too and the occasional phone call from the two enjoying Hawaii eases my mind a bit, but yeah she manages to stop me from overthinking and to just relax.'' Brittany mutters shrugging.
''You can't ignore my second question, spit it out before I tickle it out of you.'' Holly threatens smirking, Brittany laughs and shrugs.
''I may or may not have a date soon.''
''Did you ask her or not?'' Holly asks with a loud squeal, Brittany winces covering her ears and shoots her a glare.
''Damn inside squeal aunt H.'' She sighs as she just looks at her with an eyebrow raised and chuckles. ''I didn't ask her.'' She laughs as she sees her eyebrows furrow in confusion and shakes her head as a pout forms on her lips. ''She did ask me tho.''
''Oh my god!'' Brittany groans loudly covering her ears once again and shakes her head.
''Okay no, I need to get ready.'' She jumps up before she can hug her close and sprints up the stairs, she grumbles as she hears her aunt following her and opens her closet grabbing her Rams jersey with her last name.
''When will this date be sweetheart?'' Holly asks as calmly as she can, Brittany glances at her after grabbing a white skinny jeans and shrugs.
''I don't know, she will tell me as soon as she planned something.''
''Does she need a babysitter? I would love spending the day with Diego.'' Holly asks gently as she sits down on the bed, she looks around the room as Brittany gets dressed and turns to her as she hums.
''I think she would like that and D would love some of your special hot chocolate even though it's my recipe.''
Holly shrugs her shoulders and laughs. ''I told him in the beginning that it's yours, so maybe he still knows.''
''Well after breakfast today he knows.'' Brittany tells her snickering.
''You look really happy, I love to see it sweetheart. Santana is a godsend, I hope she knows that.''
''I am trying and she is really helping.'' Brittany whispers as she drops down on the bed beside Holly. ''I just hope that I am not harming the both of them with my whole being.''
''Oh B you never will I think she told you that too, you are a fighter and even if you are struggling you aren't harming anyone but yourself.'' Holly grabs her hand and pulls her in her arms kissing the top of her head. ''I know it's hard allowing more help but please promise me that you will try to sleep more, you can't function on just three hours of sleep sweetheart.''
''I will try.'' Brittany whispers softly. ''I also had to promise San to text her whenever I am struggling to sleep, she told me that I can come by whenever I want so I can catch up on some rest.''
''Take that offer, I love seeing you so relaxed and happy B.'' Holly kisses her forehead and smiles. ''You are showing more and more of your old self every time you spend time with Santana, I know you tried to block her out to protect her and D but I hope you noticed that it doesn't work.''
''Mh sure did.''
Holly chuckles kissing the top of her head once again and glances at the time. ''Alright we will talk more later, you gotta go.''
Brittany hums slowly standing up and turns to look at her after slipping her sneakers on. ''Do you need to go somewhere today or tomorrow?''
Holly shakes her head and chuckles. ''No you can take the car, why are you asking about tomorrow?''
Brittany rubs the back of her neck and chuckles. ''I might be staying the night at Santana's place again, we are taking D to his first game tonight.''
''They are joining you?'' Holly asks in surprise, Brittany nods her head and smiles shyly.
''Yeah I invited them to come after Santana told me that D wants to go to a game but she doesn't trust herself to take him there alone.''
Holly smiles lovingly not mentioning that this sounds like a first date to her and nods her head. ''Take the car, I don't have anything planned the next two days but if something comes up I can take a cab.''
She follows Brittany down the stairs grabbing her car keys out of her purse and holds them up, she grabs her hand as soon as she takes them and pulls her in her arms tilting her head up to kiss her temple. ''It warms my heart to see the old B, have fun sweetheart.''
''Thanks aunt H, see you later.'' Brittany grabs her leather jacket after kissing her cheek and jogs out of the apartment, she unlocks the car sliding into the drivers seat and pulls out of the parking lot chuckling as she sees her aunt stand in front of the window.
She quickly waves at her as she drives off and drives down the road lowering the volume of the radio, she rolls her window down and taps the steering wheel to the soft beat filling the car.
A few minutes later she pulls up to Santana's apartment and pulls out her phone quickly sending her a text that she is there, she slides out of the car as soon as she received the reply that they are coming down and opens the door for Diego.
She laughs as he crashes into her leg yelling her name and ruffles his hair picking him up, she kisses his cheek and places him in his seat. You just saw me a few hours ago buddy. She tells him as she watches him put on his seat belt, Diego nods his head and pouts.
Too long ago.
Brittany chuckles ruffling his hair once again and hands him the teddy bear he always holds during the ride, she closes his door after shooting him a wink and opens the passenger seat door turning to Santana.
Her jaw drops as she sees what she wears and blushes as she hears her soft sweet giggle, she lifts her left hand up to her face near her cheek and moves it away from her closing her hand touching all her fingers with her thumb. Damn you look gorgeous San.
Santana smiles shyly as she steps closer and reaches up closing her mouth with her pointer finger against her chin, she leans up on her tiptoes and kisses her cheek. ''You look hot.'' She whispers against her cheek, she laughs as she feels her cheeks heat up against her lips and slides into the car shooting her a cheeky smile as she looks at her in surprise.
Brittany shakes her head closing the door and walks around the car softly touching her cheek. ''Woman will be the death of me.'' She whispers softly to herself, she slides into the car pulling out of the parking lot after she sees Diego contently playing with his teddy bear and smiles as Santana slowly takes her hand.
She shakes her head as she feels her write Thank you on the palm of her hand and squeezes her hand softly after intertwining them, she runs her thumb slowly over the back of her hand and glances at her.
Does he know? She smiles as she shakes her head and glances in the rear view mirror chuckling as she sees Diego leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed and his teddy covering half of his face, she reaches out gently touching his knee smiling as he looks at her and squeezes his little hands as she sees Santana turning in her seat to tell him to cover his eyes.
She turns back to the road as the red light jumps to green and takes a right turn, she glances in the rear view mirror once again as they near the stadium and smiles as she sees Diego using the teddy to cover his eyes while happily wriggling in his seat and counting in Spanish.
She parks her car in one of the reporter parking lots and turns to Santana nodding her head, Santana quickly shakes her head and smiles slightly pointing to the back. This is your surprise B, go ahead and show him.
Brittany nods her head sliding out of the car not noticing Santana taking out her phone and following her lead, she walks around the car opening Diego's door and leans over him to undo his seat belt. She steps back tapping his shoulder and smiles as bright brown orbs turn to look at her and points behind her at the huge stadium, Santana watches them smiling as she sees her son's eyes widen in shock and watches him sign in excitement.
We going to the game?!
Brittany nods her head and smiles lovingly. We are going to the game buddy. She laughs as he jumps out of the car squealing loudly and crouches down almost falling back as he tackles her in a hug.
Santana smiles lovingly sending the video she recorded into the group chat they made with Holly and their friends, she quickly types out a message and slides her phone into her purse.
Britt just made his dream come true.
She walks over to them running her hand through her sons hair as she sees his shoulders shake knowing he is overwhelmed and leans down kissing his forehead as he looks up at her with tears in his eyes.
Brittany slowly stands up as she sees Diego taking Santana's hand and grabs her reporter pass out of her pocket, she turns to the two standing beside the car and smiles kindly.
She crosses her pointer and middle finger and moves them in front of her chest. Ready?
She takes Diego's hand he holds out as they nod their heads and leads them to the reporter entrance, she shows them the tickets and holds up her pass telling them that she is allowed to enter before the other fans.
She leads them into the stadium slowing down so Diego can look around and smiles lovingly as he hears his soft gasps, she looks down at him as he tugs on her hand and crouches down as he continues tugging on her hand.
She wraps her arms around his little waist as he throws his arms around her shoulders and kisses the side of his head as he softly murmurs ''Gracias.''she stands back up keeping her hold around his waist and places him on her hip, she squeezes Santana's hand softly as she feels her slip her hand into her own and walks through the stadium enjoying the relative empty halls knowing it will change soon.
They stop in front of the snacks ordering drinks and snacks for the three of them and buy something sweet for Diego during the game too, she looks at Diego as she sees him eyeing the corn dogs and raises an eyebrow. Want one? She asks releasing Santana's hand to sign, she smiles as he shyly nods his head and walks over to the cart.
After ordering a corn dog for him to share with Santana, Brittany nods her head as they excuse themselves for a quick stop at the bathroom before the game and looks around. Her eyes fall on the fan shop and glances at the bathroom door, she smiles slightly quickly walking to the shop and walks around.
''Can I help you miss?'' The cashier asks gently.
''I am looking for a Jersey for a little boy.''
''What age miss?''
''Five almost six and maybe a cap.''
''Blue or white?''
''Blue please.'' Brittany replies kindly while keeping an eye on the bathroom door the second she hears the commotion of other fans filling the stadium.
''I think this might fit, do you have another wish?''
''Could I have another cap please?''
She turns to the cashier as he grabs another cap and grabs one of the teddies positioned on the desk, she holds up her credit card and smiles. ''On card please.''
''Do you need a bag?'' The cashier asks gently after ringing her up, Brittany shakes her head and chuckles.
''No those will be worn immediately, thank you.'' She walks out of the store quickly crossing the stadium and sighs in relief as the doors open the second she nears it, she hides the clothes behind her back and locks eyes with Santana seeing the nervousness in her eyes the second she sees the crowd. To our seats?
She watches her pick Diego up as she nods her head and places her hand on the small of her back leading her through the crowd making sure they walk near the wall so no one can bump into them, she leads her to the stairs following her as they jog up and taps her shoulder pointing at the reporter rows telling her that their seats are there.
She follows them down nodding her head to fellow reporters and shakes hands with the photographer of the LA times, she leads Santana and Diego to their seats and sits down smiling as Santana places Diego down between them.
She crouches down beside Diego holding up her hand silently asking Santana to wait before he can eat his corn dog and pulls the little jersey from behind her back, she smiles as his eyes widen in delight and shrugs. I thought you could wear your own jersey and show the team your support.
She smiles as he immediately nods his head tackling her in a hug and rubs his back, she slowly pulls back helping him take off his jacket and smiles as he pulls the button up he wears over his head. She helps him slip on the jersey and grabs the cap she placed on her seat, she puts it on his head taking the price tag off and holds up the teddy.
B this too much! Diego signs with tears in his eyes as he looks at the new attire he wears in delight, Brittany shakes her head and taps his nose.
It isn't buddy I just hope you will enjoy your first game with your mami and with me. She tells him reassuringly, she hands him his corn dog as he slowly nods his head wiping away his tears and kisses his forehead. She turns to Santana still sitting in front of Diego and grabs the second cap she bought, she holds it out for her and smiles shyly. I don't know if you like football, but I think this partner look would look adorable.
Santana gulps thickly feeling tears prick in her eyes noticing how much thought Brittany puts in her sons first game and slowly takes the cap, she puts it on and leans down kissing her cheek. Gracias.
Brittany just smiles kissing her cheek and stands back up, she sits back down in her seat after taking her leather jacket off and nods her head as Diego points out that they are wearing the same jersey. She thanks Santana as she holds out the fries they ordered to share and takes one, she leans back in her seat smiling as Diego stands up the second the cheerleaders run out and watches him as he dances around trying to follow their lead.
Fifteen minutes later
Brittany watches Diego trying to follow the game and bites her lip as she sees the confusion clear on his face, she drops her notepad on her jacket and stands up tapping Diego's shoulder. She smiles as he turns to her and points at his mami silently telling him to sit in her lap.
Santana watches Brittany in confusion wrapping her arms around her sons waist as he settles in her lap and tilts her head. Don't you have to work?
Brittany crouches down in front of them glancing at the big screen showing the screen above them and shakes her head. Work can wait. She locks eyes with Diego and smiles lovingly. Focus on the game buddy.
She shoots Santana a smile as she still sees the confusion clear on her face and leans back against the seats behind her, she glances at the big screen as she sees the rams throwing a long pass and turns to Diego. The rams just scored a touchdown, we are leading with six points if they make the field goal we will lead with seven.
Santana's eyes widen the second she realizes what Brittany is doing and she slowly shakes her head as her heart jumps wildly in her chest. She is really special. She thinks to herself as she feels her son jump in her lap and cheer the second the rams make the field goal.
Brittany continues explaining the game to the little boy not noticing her colleague snapping pictures of them and smiles as she sees the joy in Diego's eyes, she stands up the second the team takes a break and grabs her drink taking a sip.
She falls back against the seats behind her as Diego suddenly tackles her in a hug and laughs quickly apologizing to the couple sitting in front of them, she looks down at the little boy and smiles lovingly. You like the game?
Diego nods his head and smiles brightly. We are winning and you explaining helps me understand everything, thank you B!
Brittany runs her hand down his back and smiles lovingly. You don't have to thank me buddy, it's my pleasure. She adjusts his cap as he sits back down in his seat and hands him his drink silently telling him to drink, she turns to Santana as he grabs his Rams teddy to play with and raises an eyebrow as she sees the adoring smile playing on her lips.
Santana looks at her and bites her lip. You are amazing, you know that?
Brittany smiles shyly and shrugs. I just want the both of you to enjoy today.
Santana reaches out to squeeze her hand and smiles lovingly. We are here with you that is enough to enjoy it, but that you skip your job to make him understand the game is. She pauses searching for the right word and sighs. I can't even describe what it is and how you make me feel watching everything Britt.
Brittany just shrugs her shoulders smiling shyly and leans back against the seats behind her making sure not to bother the couple as the teams runs back onto the field, she turns back to Diego smiling lovingly as she sees his attention immediately return back to the field and watches the game through the big screen.
After explaining the game to him for another half an hour she sees his eyes starting to droop knowing the excitement is catching up to him and slowly stands up, she picks him up and sits down in his seat. She smiles as he immediately cuddles into her still looking at the game and pats his leg mentioning to the field with her hand silently telling him she will continue explaining like that.
Santana watches them after sending a video into the group after Holly asked them how the game is going and smiles lovingly as she sees her son slowly giving up fighting against the tiredness overtaking him.
She slowly taps Brittany's arm as she sees his eyes slip close knowing he won't watch much of the game and smiles lovingly as she turns to her. You powered him out.
Brittany chuckles glancing at the field as the fans jumps up roaring and turns back to Santana as she sees that they intercepted the long pass. It's amazing to see his eyes light up every time the rams scored a touchdown, I hope he enjoyed it.
Santana points at her sons smiling face and nods her head. Well he fell asleep smiling, I would say he definitely did B. She reaches out grabbing her hand and intertwines their fingers enjoying the small shock going through her arm, she gazes into Brittany's bright blue orbs and smiles. I don't even know how to thank you for today, you made his dream come true.
Brittany shakes her head and smiles lovingly. I just accompanied the both of you and I am glad he enjoyed it, did you like it too?
Santana nods her head and smiles brightly. I enjoyed watching the both of you, football is not really something I could pay attention to but watching you and D enjoying the game made it more than enough for me to appreciate the game.
Brittany chuckles and reaches out to tap her cap. You are wearing a Rams cap, you are a fan now San. Besides your son and I are both a fan so I am sure we will pull you to more games.
Santana laughs and shrugs. As long as I get to watch you and him I will be fine. She reaches out tugging on the skin tight jersey Brittany wears and smirks. Besides you wearing this jersey is hot as hell, watching you is much better than watching the game.
Brittany's eyebrow raises in surprise as she sees the cheeky grin playing on Santana's lips and she turns to completely face her after adjusting her hold on the sleeping boy in her lap, she tilts her head and smirks. Why miss Lopez, did someone put a bit of She holds out her hands palm facing down and wiggles her fingers as she moves her hands away from her body. Flirt juice in your drink?
Santana laughs and shakes her head. Nope that's just me, let's just say that you are in for a ride miss Pierce.
Brittany bites her lip and smiles slightly. I am definitely looking forward to it.
