After they both watched the match while Diego slept peacefully in Brittany's arms during the rest of it, Santana turns to Brittany as she parks her car in front of the apartment and smiles tiredly pointing at her apartment. Do you want to come back up?
Brittany nods her head killing the engine and takes off her seat belt. Are you hungry? She asks tilting her head as she hears Santana's stomach grumble, Santana smiles sheepishly and nods her head.
Yeah I will make some mac and cheese as soon as he is tucked in. Brittany smiles sliding out of the car and walks around it slowly opening Diego's door, she unbuckles him and gently picks him up making sure not to wake him.
She locks her car as soon as Santana closed both doors and follows her into the building, she follows her up the stairs tilting her head as she feels Diego nuzzle his face in her neck and kicks off her shoes as soon as she enters the apartment.
Santana smiles lovingly as she sees her son still sleeping soundly and slowly takes off his shoes, she drops them beside Brittany's and mentions her hand down the hall telling her to bring him to his room.
She follows her smiling lovingly as she watches her placing Diego gently down in his bed and walks over after grabbing a pair of pajamas out of his closet, she watches Brittany gently undress him and shakes her head as she tries to move back holding out the clothes for her. Do you want to change him into these? I will make us some dinner and tea.
Brittany bites her lip and looks at her. Are you sure? She slowly takes the clothes as she nods her head and smiles slightly as she watches her walk out of the room after kissing her sons head noticing just how much Santana trusts her with the little boy, she turns back to Diego slipping on his pajamas and lifts him up to pull back the covers.
She places him back down tucking him in and places the Rams teddy beside him, she leans down kissing his forehead and turns on the nightlight on his nightstand. She stands up as soon as she made sure that he is still asleep and walks out of the room closing the door behind her, she walks down the hallway pulling out her phone as it buzzes and raises an eyebrow as she sees a message from her colleague the photographer at the game.
Hey Pierce, check your mail as soon as you have a bit of free time. See you tomorrow.
She frowns in confusion scrolling down to open her mails and taps the mail she just received from him, she laughs as she sees a bunch of pictures he took of her and Diego and shakes her head quickly replying to him.
I hope you have just as much pictures of the game Dave, thank you though.
She walks into the kitchen smiling as she sees Santana leaning against the kitchen counter and walks over to her, she leans against it right beside her after tapping her shoulder to make her aware that she is with her and holds out her phone showing her the pictures.
Santana slowly takes the phone from her scrolling through the pictures and smiles lovingly as she sees the big happy smile on her sons face, she leans into Brittany's side glancing up at her and hovers her finger over the share button silently asking her if she can send the pictures to her own phone.
She smiles as Brittany nods her head and selects a few pictures, she sends them over to her phone feeling it buzz in her pocket and hands Brittany her phone back. She turns to the pot on the stove grabbing the mac and cheese Kraft package and adds it to the boiling water, she turns to Brittany as she sees her move in the corner of her eyes and smiles slightly as she sees her reaching into the cupboard to grab two cups and bowls for them.
She chuckles as she shoots her a wink the second she notices that she is being observed and turns back to the stove stirring the macaroni, she glances to the side as she sees a pale hand sliding onto the counter top beside her own and bites her lip as she feels an arm wrap around her midsection.
She furrows her brows as she sees Brittany grab the notepad she keeps beside the refrigerator for grocery shopping lists and tilts her head as she sees her scribbling something down slowly allowing herself to lean back against her, she reads what she wrote down the second she sees her hand move away and bites her lip.
I had an amazing day today San.
She tilts her head back to look at her and smiles shyly. ''I did too Britt-Britt.'' She mutters softly as she nuzzles her face in her shoulder still feeling quite unsure about her voice. ''Thank you for making mi Hijos dream come true.'' She continues whispering softly.
She pulls back as she feels her thumb run over her exposed hipbone and glances at the notepad reading her reply still contently leaned back against Brittany's front.
Don't be so shy beautiful, I love hearing your voice and love knowing that you feel so comfortable around me. She blushes as she reads the compliment and gulps reading the rest of her reply. And it definitely was my pleasure, seeing the joy on both of your faces was the highlight of my day and ending it with mac and cheese makes it even better.
She notices that Brittany took over stirring the mac and cheese and smiles slightly as she fills two bowls with it noticing two cups already filled with tea, she turns to look at her and tilts her head. ''Do you want to eat in the living room or here?''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders silently telling her to decide as she grabs the two bowls and smiles as she grabs the two cups walking out of the kitchen, she quickly fills the empty pot with water and follows her into the living room handing her one of the bowls.
She sits down on the couch as she sees Santana picking out a movie and crosses her legs leaning back against the cushions taking a sip of her tea, she smiles as she leans back against her side after selecting Out of my league and raises an eyebrow as she slowly eats her mac and cheese keeping her eyes on the screen.
She slowly places her bowl down as she feels her scoot away during the movie noticing the change of mood and turns to look at her softly tapping her leg, she bites her lip as Santana turns to look at her still keeping both of her hands around the bowl in her lap and she taps her chin with her left hand palm facing sideways and tilts her head. Talk to me Santana, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?
Santana shakes her head and tries to smile reassuringly forming a O with her fingers touching her thumb. Nothing B, everything is okay.
Brittany sighs softly slowly taking the bowl from Santana noticing she finished eating and places it beside her own on the coffee table, she turns her body to face Santana completely and slightly nods her head to the TV. Does this have anything to do with the movie title you picked out? She sighs as Santana tries to avoid her gaze and gently reaches out cupping her cheek before she can pull away. ''Please talk to me Santana.'' She whispers as she notices her focusing on her lips.
Santana sighs running a hand through her hair and shrugs slowly forming her hands into fists, she taps her thumbs against each other and smiles sadly. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop, tonight was just too amazing to be true.
Brittany raises an eyebrow slowly dropping her hand and squeezes Santana's wrist softly, she pulls her hands back and bites her lip. And you think you don't deserve any of it?
Santana shakes her head and gulps. ''No not that Britt-Britt.'' She whispers shrugging, she slowly slides her eyes up to lock on bright blue orbs and sighs. I can't explain what I exactly feel at the moment, but you are perfect B and D loves you but I am afraid that we will soon be a burd…
Brittany quickly reaches out stopping her hands and shakes her head. San I will stop you right there because I don't want to hear you call yourself or D a burden. She tells her quickly as she sees her looking up at her with a frown. I know the world we are living in sucks and a lot of people didn't even take the chance to get to see how amazing you and D are, but I am not like them and I love spending time with you and with your little boy.
She looks up at the ceiling slowly gathering her thoughts and takes a deep breath silently cursing everyone that hurt the Latina sitting in front of her and the little boy fast asleep down the hall, she turns back to look at her and smiles sadly holding her left hand up to her ear and moving it forward towards Santana.
I honestly don't know what the future holds for the both of us but I will promise you that I will never do what people did to you before Santana, I care a lot about you and about. She nods her head towards the hallway turning back to Santana and smiles. Diego, your little boy managed to worm his way into my heart from day one, hearing his exciting squeals and giggles today made that feeling grow even more.
She slowly takes both of Santana's hands into her own and gently pulls her closer, she runs her thumbs over the back of her hands noticing her eyes immediately slide down to her lips and smiles slightly. ''I meant what I told you in the kitchen.'' She tells her slowly. ''I really enjoyed today and the joy on both of your faces makes completely forgetting about work so, so worth it.''
Santana smiles shyly as she sees the honesty spark brightly in Brittany's blue orbs and glances down at the pale hands holding her own slowly moving her hands so she can intertwines her fingers with Brittany's. ''What did we do to deserve you?'' She asks softly.
Brittany gently cups her cheek pulling her head up and smiles slightly as she hears the wonder in her voice. ''I ask myself the same question ever since we met Santana.'' She tells her honestly. ''You didn't have to do everything because you and D deserve all the good things this world has to offer, I definitely doubt if I am the one who can give you that but I sure as hell will try hearing his adorable squeals and giggles more often and to.''
She gently runs her thumb over Santana's plump lips smiling as they pull up into a shy smile and squeezes the hand she still holds softly. ''And to hear your beautiful laugh and voice.''
Santana bites her lip as she sees the honesty clear in her eyes and slowly runs her thumb over the back of the hands she holds, she looks down at them taking a shaky breath and swallows nervously. ''Was today a date?'' She asks feeling her voice waver.
Brittany's eyebrows raise in surprise not having expected that question at all and slowly tilts her head, she squeezes Santana's hand softly silently asking her to look at her and licks her lips as she complies. ''Do you want it to be a date?'' She asks slowly.
Santana slowly pulls her hands back tilting her head and smiles nervously as she lifts her hands palms facing each other slowly forming a D with them, she softly taps her fingertips against each other and pulls them about an inch apart before touching her fingertips again. Well I asked you out on a date and didn't plan this Britt-Britt.
Brittany smiles slightly lifting her hands up touching her lips with her left pointer finger and hovers the other near her shoulder, she taps her lip with her finger and points both fingers at Santana. That doesn't answer my question San. She raises an eyebrow as she just shrugs her shoulders and tilts her head. Do you want today to be a date Santana? She asks once again.
Santana just shrugs her shoulders once again and smiles shyly. ''I don't know Britt-Britt.'' She replies honestly as she looks down at her hands hoping the blonde understands her. ''Today was really perfect but.'' She cuts herself off taking a deep breath and slowly shakes her head. ''I don't know.''
Brittany smiles sadly as she realizes what bothers her and gently cups her cheek lifting her head, she bites her bottom lip as troubled brown orbs lock on her own and tilts her head lifting her left hand up to her forehead making it look like she is saluting Santana, she brings her hand down palm facing down near her hip and raises an eyebrow. Is this about your little boy joining us?
She sighs softly as she slowly nods her head and takes both of her hands in her own, she dips her head to lock eyes with her as she notices her looking down at their hands and shoots her a small smile as she looks at her nervously biting her lip. ''Santana I don't expect you to leave D with someone else because we are going out on a date.'' She tells her slowly keeping their eyes locked so she can see that she is being honest. ''Sure I would like to take you out or go out with you alone but I would also love going out with D joining us.''
She squeezes her hands once again and smiles slightly. ''I want to get to know more about the both of you Santana and D belongs to you, I don't want you to feel bad whenever he joins us because I will enjoy it just as much.'' She runs her hand up her arm gently tapping the dimple in her cheek and shoots her a wink a grin playing on her lips. ''There is the smile I like to see.''
Santana chuckles softly and tilts her head. ''That doesn't answer my question though.'' She mutters teasingly, she smiles as she watches Brittany laugh and bites her lip. ''God I would kill to hear you laugh.'' She confesses softly. ''I am sure it sounds as beautiful as you look.''
Brittany blushes slightly at the compliment and gently squeezes Santana's hand. ''You are beautiful too Santana.'' She tells her softly keeping their eyes locked, Santana smiles shyly and looks down at their intertwined hands in her lap licking her lips.
''Are you trying to make me answer my own question?''
Brittany chuckles softly as she hears the curiosity in her voice and shrugs as she looks back up at her. ''No I'm just trying to find out what exactly you want today to be San.''
''Yeah and I'm trying to do that too Britt-Britt.'' Santana mutters in amusement, she gulps softly as she sees her just raising an eyebrow a teasing smirk playing on her lips and slowly scoots closer tilting her head. ''Well if today was a date I don't want it to end like this.''
''Like what exactly?'' Brittany asks curiously, Santana scoots a bit more closer so their knees are touching and gently cups Brittany's cheek smiling nervously.
''Without this.'' She whispers softly as she slowly leans in, she stops as their lips almost touch and locks eyes with Brittany. Brittany licks her lips as she feels Santana's breath softly hitting them and slides her hand up Santana's left arm cupping the back of her neck as she sees the silent question in her eyes and feels her clammy hands still gently cupping her cheek.
She dips her head and gently presses her lips against Santana's savoring the soft gasp escaping her plump lips, she slowly pulls back leaning their foreheads together not giving her the chance to respond wanting her to express what she wants herself and slowly opens her eyes smiling slightly as soulful brown orbs slowly lock on her own after watching her eyes flutter open.
Santana bites her lip as she feels the warmth spread through her chest the second she felt Brittany's lips on her own and curls her fingers around her jaw, she leans back in tentatively brushing her lips over thin pink ones and hums softly slowly parting her lips capturing Brittany's bottom lip between her own.
She smiles into the kiss as she feels Brittany's deep intake of breath through her nose against her cheek as they both tilt their heads and slides her hand up into soft blonde locks, she scoots closer to Brittany as she feels her hands drop down to her hips and curls her free arm around her shoulder softly humming into the kiss as she feels her thin pink lips curl up in a soft smile.
She slowly pulls back feeling her lungs scream for air and drops her forehead on Brittany's shoulder feeling her arms easily wrap around her waist, she bites her lip as she feels her stomach flutter the second she feels her drop a kiss on her shoulder and closes her eyes savoring the unfamiliar loving feeling consuming her body.
''Wow.'' She whispers softly still keeping her face hidden in the crook of Brittany's neck, she smiles as she feels the soft vibration beneath her face knowing Brittany just hummed and slowly pulls back to look at her.
She pulls back as she sees the barely concealed pain clear in her blue eyes and glances at the time sighing softly as she sees that it's past midnight, she slowly stands up after turning the TV off and holds out her hand smiling slightly as she sees the confusion clearly written on Brittany's face. ''As much as you try to hide it, I know your back is killing you.'' She tells her softly as she helps her stand up. ''It's time to rub your back in and sleep Britt-Britt.''
Brittany sighs slowly nodding her head as she squeezes her hand softly and follows her down the hall to Santana's bedroom, she grabs the shirt she slept in and mentions her hand to the bathroom silently telling her that she will quickly change first.
Santana nods her head watching her slip into the bathroom and quickly grabs her own clothes, she walks down the hall to her sons room quickly checking on him and walks into his bedroom to get ready for bed too.
After throwing her clothes into the hamper in her sons bedroom she walks back to her bedroom smiling as she sees Brittany sitting on the edge and grabs the ointment off of her desk, she slides into her bed and kneels down behind her gently bunching the shirt she wears up. ''Did I tell you before that I like to see you in my clothes?''
She chuckles as blue eyes lock on her own in the mirror she has beside the door and shrugs smiling shyly as she sees a curious eyebrow raise, she gently rubs her hands down Brittany's back after warming up the ointment and bites her lip. ''You are ridiculously tall, so even the longest shirt in my closet is a child size on you, it's hot.''
She snickers as she feels her shoulders shake under her hands a silent tell that she chuckles and gently lowers the shirt back down after making sure she rubbed everything in, she taps the back of her neck and shoots her a wink as they lock eyes through the mirror. ''Bed time Britt-Britt.''
She slides out of bed walking into the bathroom and quickly washes her hands and brushes her teeth, she walks back out after drying her hands and slides back under the covers beside Brittany smiling lovingly as she immediately rolls over to cuddle into her side.
Brittany leans up on her elbow to look at her and smiles lovingly as she gently runs her finger over her covered abdomen. ''I really enjoyed today Santana.'' She tells her smiling slightly, Santana smiles gently squeezing the hand placed on her stomach and hums softly with a slight nod of her head.
''I did too Britt-Britt.'' She gently pulls her back down wrapping her arms around her waist and kisses her shoulder. ''Let's try to catch a bit of sleep before D wakes us up to play.'' She murmurs softly into her ear, she turns of the bedside lamp as she feels her nod her head and kisses her temple. ''Good night Britt-Britt.''
She smiles against her blonde hair as she feels her tap her stomach twice knowing it's her way to reply now that it's impossible for her to see her reply and intertwines their hands on her stomach, she pulls the blonde closer feeling her sigh contently the second she nuzzles her face in her shoulder and closes her eyes a small smile playing on her lips at finally feeling the broken puzzle pieces she once described her life to be slowly connect back together thanks to the beautiful woman cuddled up against her.
Love will find you when you least expect it.
