''Alright Angels!'' Coach Beiste hollers effectively pulling all attention on her from the players and parents surrounding the field. ''We have a new face joining us today!'' She mentions her hand to the blonde jogging up to them and smiles. ''This is Brittany Pierce, striker from Angel City but she is so kind to also join us during training to train with you!''
''Damn she is hot.''
Puck sucks in his lips hearing several moms murmurs about his friend and glances at Santana and Quinn, he laughs as he sees them just shaking their head in amusement and turns back to the field hearing a whistle.
''Alright boys.'' Brittany breaths out grinning. ''Your coach told me you have a match against Orlando this Saturday..'' She cuts herself off as one of the boys raises his hand and looks at him. ''Yes?''
''Are you really a player from Angel City?'' He asks curiously.
She nods her head and smiles. ''I am, I just joined the team three weeks ago.''
''How come we never saw you play?'' One of the boys asks.
''I didn't join their matches yet.'' Brittany explains gently. ''I transferred here from Orlando and only trained with them, I will join their match on Sunday against Chicago.''
''They are all questioning her skills.'' Quinn breaths out in amusement as she notices several boys sizing Brittany up. ''Little kids sure can be assholes.'' She mumbles wincing as Santana hits her arm with a soft laugh. ''What?'' She defends laughing. ''It's true.''
Santana just shakes her head as Puck laughs loudly and turns back to the field.
''How about Brittany shows you what she can?'' Beiste offers noticing the same thing Quinn noticed. ''All of you against her.''
Puck covers his mouth to muffle his laughter the second he sees Brittany's eyebrows raise in surprise and shakes his head. ''Fifteen against one, that's unfair.''
''Sure.'' Brittany breaths out taking off her jacket as she notices the boys just grinning, she throws it aside and smiles. ''Who is the goalkeeper?'' She nods her head as one raises his hand immediately sprinting to the goal and looks at the rest of the boys in front of them. ''Defenders please grab a yellow vest, midfielders an orange one and strikers a red one.''
Santana smiles slightly as Nicolas is the only one grabbing a red vest and watching him take position, she smiles as he hands Brittany the ball with a kind grin and just leans back in her seat sipping on her coffee. ''This will be fun.'' She whispers in amusement.
''She towers over all of them.'' Quinn laughs out bouncing Beth in her lap as they watch Brittany sprint off, they snicker as she easily dodgers two trying to tackle her down and smile as she just gently pushes the ball into the goal.
Twenty minutes later Brittany looks down at Nicolas as the boys all drop down on the grass breathing hard and chuckles. ''Think I showed them that I can play?'' She whispers so only he can hear her, Nicolas nods his head and giggles.
''I think you did.'' Brittany just smiles as Beiste blows her whistle and straightens up.
''I think Brittany proved herself, right Angels?'' Beiste asks chuckling as she notices everyone but her striker out of breath, she snickers as they all just nod their heads and turns to the blonde. ''And you look like you can still run a mile even though you had training early this morning.'' She adds in amusement.
''I got used to being active eighteen hours a day.'' Brittany explains with a grin. ''Whenever I am not on the field, I own a restaurant where I will help my employees out of hang out with friends.''
''You own a restaurant aside from playing soccer professionally in the second division?'' Beiste asks in surprise. ''What restaurant is yours?''
''Young, Wild and Crazy Grills.'' Brittany breaths out. ''I struggle a bit with hyperactivity so I need to power myself out to the point of falling asleep.'' She explains. ''So filling my day to the brim allows me to return home and sleep.''
''Makes sense.'' Beiste replies chuckling. ''Well feel free to join the training whenever.''
''What time is the match Saturday?'' Brittany asks curiously.
''Around two and right here, why?''
''I have training till twelve for the match next day, I will rush through showering and can join you here if you want.''
''That would be awesome.'' Beiste breaths out, she looks at the boys shaking her head as she notices them still laying around and blows her whistle. ''Alright boys, time for a few rounds before training ends.''
''Will Brittany run with us?'' Jason the goalkeeper asks, Brittany nods her head as Beiste just turns to her and chuckles.
''Sure will, who runs up front?''
''Nic!'' She nods her head turning to Nicolas and smiles.
''Go ahead Nicolas, we will follow.''
Santana watches her son sprint off chuckling as Brittany easily keeps up with him and turns to Puck and Quinn as she notices the whole team talking mid sprint. ''I think she proved that she can train them.''
She smiles as they just hum in agreement and glances at the parents standing near them, she rolls her eyes as she notices several single mothers checking Brittany out and laughs softly. ''And some parents will join more days now that the team got some eye candy.''
''Eye candy.'' Puck laughs out. ''B will love hearing that.''
Santana stands up as Beiste whistles and smiles. ''Training is over.'' She grabs Nicolas's bag knowing he will shower at home after training and turns to the duo beside her. ''Any plans for today?''
''Some mommy, daddy and Beth time.'' Quinn breaths out. ''What about the both of you?''
''Nic wants to go to that new Wild Boy soccer movie that they translated after it was a hit in Germany, so we will go to the first movie tonight.'' Santana breaths out. ''We will grab some dinner beforehand and after the movie he still needs to do his homework.''
''Sounds like a fun day.'' Puck tells her with a grin, he ruffles Nic's hair as he sprints past him to his mami and smiles as Brittany walks over after grabbing her Angel City FC bag. ''Did they tire you out?'' He teases as she runs a hand down her face.
Brittany shakes her head and chuckles. ''Not at all.'' She turns to Santana and smiles kindly. ''From what I saw, Nicolas sure has some mad skills, I will enjoy training this team with Beiste.''
Santana smiles as Nicolas beams brightly and nods her head running her hand through his spiky locks. ''Yeah he is taking after his papi.'' She breaths out, she kisses his head as he looks up at her with a sad twinkle in his eyes and winks. ''He sure is proud of you mijo.''
Brittany notices the sadness in her smile and glances at Puck, she just nods her head as he quickly shakes his head and shoulders her bag. ''Are you all coming to the match Saturday?''
Puck nods his head and smiles. ''Yeah we never miss out on any of his matches.'' He breaths out with a grin. ''Will you be here too?''
''Yeah I have training till twelve with my team, but I will rush over after to join Beiste in the dugout.'' She tells him with a small smile. ''I have to train at the same time they do the next few days, so I won't make it but I will make sure to be here Saturday.''
Puck nods his head as they all walk towards the parking lot and pushes her softly. ''You definitely managed to trick out fifteen kids, think you can trick eleven women?''
Brittany laughs dropping her bag in her trunk as Quinn and Santana snicker and shrugs. ''We will see, Beiste mentioned that she will try to join the match with the team but feel free to join too.'' She turns to them and smiles. ''Just let me know, I am sure I can score three tickets, the little Angels always have free entrance.''
Santana nods her head as Puck turns to them and smiles. ''I think we would love to watch Angel City in action.'' She tells the blonde with a grin.
''I will send you the tickets Noah.'' Brittany breaths out, she glances at the time on her phone and sighs. ''I really have to go now before I am too late.''
''Hot date?'' Puck teases.
''Very hot.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling, she rolls her eyes, pushing him as he wiggles his eyebrows and chuckles. ''With the grill at the restaurant you idiot, we have a reservation for about twenty people and I promised to help out tonight.''
''Wait so you train with your team at five in the morning, joined the little team around eleven till now.'' Quinn glances at her phone and shakes her head as she sees that it's almost two and looks at the blonde. ''And you will go and work at the restaurant now?''
Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''Yeah and after that I will meet up with two teammates and hit the gym.''
''It got worse instead of better.'' Puck breaths out in realization, Brittany nods her head and sighs.
''Yeah but I can handle it better now, I just need to power myself out before going home.''
''Adhd?'' Quinn asks curiously.
Brittany shakes her head as Puck just frowns and chuckles. ''Some kind of it, but I don't have the typical symptoms like poor time management, disorganization, mood swings and such.'' She breaths out. ''I only struggle with hyperactivity and have to be active every day to assure enough rest to take on the next day.''
''Nobody ever found out what it is?'' Puck asks frowning knowing she struggled way more with it when she was little.
''None of the doctors I visited ever found anything wrong.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging. ''But hitting the gym before going home always helps and if I don't feel like running into people, I have a gym at home that will surely tire me out enough to cause me to crash on one of the mats in that room.''
''Only listening to that, tires me out.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''I am glad the second my butt hits the couch and I can kick my feet up.''
Brittany snickers as Puck and Quinn nod their heads in agreement and smiles. ''I got used to it.'' She glances at Puck and snickers. ''Puck didn't call me the wild one for no reason.''
''The amount of things we did.'' Puck breaths out shaking his head with a laugh. ''I can only hope that Beth will take after Q.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and laughs. ''Yeah I hope so too, we can't have your wife turn gray before she hits sixty.''
''She still has Puck.'' Santana breaths out laughing. ''He will be the cause of gray hairs before Beth.''
Brittany locks eyes with Quinn as Puck sputters out his protest and snickers. ''I am sure you know where he keeps the card with my contact details, feel free to text me the second he becomes unbearable.''
Quinn laughs as Puck's eyes just widen hearing Santana muffle her giggle and pats his arm. ''I will.'' She promises locking eyes with Brittany. ''Do you have any plans after your match on Sunday?''
''That kind of depends on if we win or lose.'' Brittany breaths out. ''Why?''
''Wait.'' Puck breaths out noticing Santana also turn to Brittany with an eyebrow raised. ''Why does it depend on if you win or lose?'' He asks before Quinn can continue, Brittany chuckles leaning against her car and shrugs.
''If we win, my mood will be alright and I can leave the field without the need to run through all plays in my head.'' She explains. ''If we lose I will be found in the recording room and watch the match over and over again to see where things went wrong, after that you can probably find me in the gym because I need to let go for a bit.''
''Makes sense.'' Santana breaths out.
Quinn turns to the blonde as Puck just hums and smiles. ''We would like to invite you over for dinner, just the six of us.''
''Why don't you all come over to my house and I will cook us something?'' Brittany offers, she chuckles as Quinn raises an eyebrow and shrugs. ''Whatever I cook needs preparing so I will probably start the night before, but my house is in a secluded neighborhood too and I have a few things that belongs in Puck's hands.''
''What do you call secluded?'' Santana asks curiously as Puck and Quinn just turn to her.
''I live in south Pasadena.'' Brittany explains with a grin. ''I am pretty sure Meryl Streep lives five houses down from mine.''
''How?'' Puck just asks knowing it's a pretty wealthy neighborhood.
''I will explain Sunday.'' Brittany promises as she glances at the time. ''I really have to go or I won't be on time to prep everything for tonight.'' She hugs Puck as he nods his head and shakes Santana's and Quinn's hands with a grin, she looks down at Nicolas contently reclined back against Santana's legs playing something on her phone and crouches down. ''See you on Saturday?''
Nicolas immediately lowers the phone and nods his head with a big smile. ''See you Saturday Brittany.''
''Is she rich?'' Quinn asks turning to her fiance after they all waved at Brittany driving off, Puck shrugs his shoulders and chuckles.
''I have no idea what a soccer player earns, but I am pretty sure her restaurant is a hit.'' He breaths out. ''I know her parents did both earn quite well with their careers, but we will find out on Sunday how she managed to score a house in Pasadena.''
Santana chuckles and runs her hand through Nicolas's hair. ''Well we will go too, Nic still has to shower before our movie date.'' She kisses their cheeks after Nicolas hugged them and kisses Beth's forehead. ''See you all on Saturday.'' She murmurs as she unlocks her car so Nic can climb in.
She walks over to him as they nod their heads and slides into the driver seat, she glances in the rear view mirror as she feels Nic nudge her shoulder and takes her phone from him as he holds it out for her. ''What do you want to eat today mijo?''
''Can we go to McDonald's today?'' She nods her head snickering as he squeaks and lowers the volume of the radio as the news sounds through. ''Mami?''
''Si?''
''Will Brittany hang out with us more often now?'' Nicolas asks curiously, Santana nods her head and smiles slightly.
''Yeah she was Tio Puck's best friend back in high school, they lost contact for a few years but now that she is back she will probably join us more.'' She glances in the rear view mirror and raises an eyebrow. ''Why?''
''Just asking.'' Nicolas breaths out. ''She is really nice and I like talking to her.'' He continues as Santana just raises an eyebrow.
''That she is.'' Santana agrees with a smile. ''And she will train you, you will have a lot to do with her from now on.''
''She still has to train and play with her own team too mami.'' He breaths out giggling. ''I don't think she will join us that much.''
''Only time will tell mijo.'' Santana tells him chuckling as she parks her car in the garage, she turns to him and reaches out to undo his seat belt. ''Please go up and shower immediately, we will leave in an hour and grab a burger.''
She slides out of her car after he nodded his head and watches him sprint into the house after kicking his shoes off, she follows him after kicking his shoes aside and walks into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.
She slides her phone out of her jeans pocket as she feels it buzz and raises an eyebrow as she notices an incoming text from her agent, she opens it and rolls her eyes as she notices that it's a message trying to convince her to take the interview waiting for her on Saturday.
To Liz: Just move the damn interview to next week Friday Liz, It's my week off and I want to spend it with Nic so please just move it and if they don't want to do that, cancel it.
From Liz: Are you positive? It will boost your movie Santana.
To Liz: I am, I am not just an actress, I am also a mother and after four weeks filled with shooting, interviews and events I need a week with Nic.
From Liz: Alright next topic, who is the gorgeous blonde on several pictures from today and a few days ago?
Santana drops her head and groans loudly. ''Those picture loving fuckers.'' She curses softly as she pulls up Quinn's chat.
To Q: Tell Puck to give Brittany head ups, the paps snapped pictures of all of us and Liz just asked who she is.
She returns back to her chat with Liz dropping down on one of the chairs in her kitchen and types out her reply.
To Liz: She is a friend of Puck and I don't think she likes those fuckers taking pictures of her, gotta go now, we will talk next week.
She places her phone down as she hears footsteps thunder down the stairs and shakes her head chuckling as Nic slides into the kitchen on his socks. ''Freshened up?'' She asks as he looks at her with a big grin, she stands up as he nods his head and runs a hand through his still wet locks. ''Cap or hoodie Nic, you know I don't want you walking outside with wet hair.''
She smiles as he grabs his cap and stands up. ''Alright go put your shoes on, I will call the mcDonalds near the cinema and ask them to prepare our food.''
''We will eat in your car?'' She shakes her head following him to the door leading to the garage and smiles.
''We will eat at the cinema.'' She murmurs chuckling. ''The movie starts in half an hour.''
''Let's go!'' She laughs as he runs to her car with wide eyes and shakes her head in amusement.
''You are so much like your papi.'' She murmurs to herself as she watches him climber into the car. ''It's fucking scary sometimes.'' She whispers as she locks the door making sure she has her phone, keys and wallet.
She walks to the car sliding back into the drivers seat making sure he bucked in and pulls out of the garage smiling as he wiggles in his seat with a big grin, she turns to radio louder as Mercedes Jones's voice fills the car and leans back in her seat listening to the Whitney Houston cover as she drives towards the McDonald's near the cinema.
