''What's up with you?'' Quinn asks softly as she notices her best friend tiredly hold her head up while they all sit in the family section right behind the dugout watching Angel City FC try to turn the score after two quick goals against them.

''Nothing.'' Santana breaths out blinking, she turns to look at her noticing Puck talking to one of Brittany's employees and sighs as Quinn just raises an eyebrow calling her out on her lie. ''Didn't sleep well.'' She whispers shrugging.

''The dream?'' Quinn asks in concern knowing she often dreamed about the day she received the call about Marcus's car crash, Santana shakes her head and gulps thickly.

''No.'' She murmurs. ''Didn't have that one for a while now.''

''Talk to me Santana.'' Quinn whispers in concern noticing the somber mood she is in.

''Mami look, they are bringing Brittany in for the last fifteen minutes!'' Nicolas exclaims pointing at the field as Brittany sprints over after warming up the past twenty minutes.

''Not now Q.'' Santana tells her best friend softly, she turns to her son nodding her head as she sees Brittany tie her shoes near the sideline while the assistant referee holds up the board with her number and smiles. ''Now we can see if she is as good in playing as she is in coaching.''

Number ten Claire Emslie will leave the field and number twenty-two Brittany Pierce will take her place!

She chuckles as everyone around them cheer loudly the second Brittany sprints out onto the grass after high fiving Emslie and turns to Quinn. ''She brought her own fan base.'' She tells her in amusement, she turns back to the field as Quinn nods her head in agreement with a soft chuckle and smiles as she watches Nicolas lean against the ad banner to watch the play in rapt attention.

She smiles hearing cheers all around her as Brittany manages to steal the ball from one of the defenders, watching her sprint over the sideline with two on her heels and sits forward with everyone around her as she nears the penalty box.

''No one is free to take an assist.'' Quinn whispers frowning as she notices two defenders and three midfielders blocking Brittany's teammates. ''They are making sure everyone is blocked.''

Santana hums watching Brittany cut back easily stepping over the ball throwing the first defender blocking her off and blinks in surprise as she back heel passes the ball through the legs of the second defender cornering her, her jaw drops as she sprints towards the middle kicking the ball with force towards the goal as two midfielders sprint up to her and turns to Quinn in surprise as everyone around them explode into loud cheers the second the ball lands into the goal after hitting the inside of the goalpost.

''What the fuck?'' They breath out simultaneously.

First match, first five minutes, first goal! They hear the commentator holler. Angel City FC's transferred striker Brittany Pierce scored her first goal!

Santana watches Brittany sprint back to her half after she celebrated her goal with her team and glances at Puck smiling as she sees his proud grin, she nudges Quinn and nods her head to Puck. ''Look who can't hide his pride.''

''Ever since she appeared back in his life he is so different.'' Quinn breaths out. ''But the good kind, he is happy, I know he was before but..''

''He has the woman he thinks of as his sister back in his life.'' Santana breaths out. ''He is over the moon now that his family is complete again.''

''Go Britt!''

They both turn back to the field as they hear Puck and the restaurant chant Brittany's name and focus on the blonde as she dribbles over the field with several defenders sprinting after her to try and steal the ball back, they all watch in silence as she sprints towards the penalty area after long passing the ball to one of her teammates running over the left side of the field and hold their breaths as she passes the ball high into the penalty area.

''Whoa!'' Nicolas turns to his mami with wide eyes after Brittany scored again with a beautiful header and smiles brightly. ''She is so good!'' He gushes as he notices his mami and aunt just look at the field in surprise.

''She sure is.'' Santana agrees as Brittany's teammates tackle her down cheering loudly, she wraps her arms around his waist as he walks over to sit on her lap and kisses the back of his head as he leans his head back still focusing on the field.

''That was so good.'' He whispers as they watch Brittany jogging after a midfielder sprinting over the sidelines towards their penalty box, Santana hums tilting her head as the blonde suddenly sprints towards her own goalkeeper after the midfielder passed the ball high into the penalty area and shakes her head in amazement as she just slides past the goalkeeper standing on the penalty spot to defend the goal after one of the strikers reached the ball first and lobbed the ball over the goalie.

''And she is really fast.'' Nicolas breaths out as they all watch the blonde sprint past one of her teammates dribbling with the ball onto the opponents half right after she prevented another goal against them, he sits up as Brittany takes the ball with her mid sprint, dribbling over the sideline and watches her cut to the right to sprint into the penalty area of the opponents skillfully tricking a defender out.

They all jump up as Brittany back heel passes the ball to a teammate right after the goalie sprinted to her trying to steal the ball and cheer loudly as Lussi just pushes the ball into the empty goal with ease, they watch Lussi jump in Brittany's arms after dodging Press trying to hug her tightly and laugh as the teammates and benched players sprint out onto the field to celebrate the third goal scored in the last minute of extra time.

''Well damn.'' Quinn breaths out as the fans around them erupt into cheers and chants containing Brittany's name. ''She definitely showed everyone that she has the skills to bring them up the list.''

''Just look at her coach.'' Marley tells them chuckling. ''That woman is shocked.''

''I would be too after exchanging a player who didn't managed to sprint passed the wall of defenders with a newbie who only trained with them till today.'' Puck tells her chuckling. ''Britt scored twice, defended their own goal once and also made an assist.''

''And all of that during her first match.'' Nicolas breaths out giggling, Puck nods his head in agreement and laughs.

''And all of that during her first match.'' He agrees as the players jog off of the field after the referee blew his whistle signaling the end of the match, he nods his head to Brittany carrying the ball under her arms and snickers. ''Only ten minutes active but she got the match ball.''

Quinn chuckles taking Beth from her fiance and slowly takes off the ear muffs they slid on to protect her from the noise, she kisses her forehead as she points to the field with a big grin and hums. ''Your aunt just kicked butts, baby girl.'' She murmurs against her head as they watch Brittany talk to a reporter with her coach right by her side.

Santana just observes the blonde biting her lip as she watches her lift her shirt to wipe away her sweat as she walks towards the entrance to the changing room and gulps thickly as she notices the tank top she wore under her jersey sticking to her skin, she shakes her head not allowing her imagination to run freely and picks her son up as she notices everyone walking towards the exit.

Quinn just silently observed her with an eyebrow raised and tilts her head noticing an all too familiar glance in her deep brown eyes, she nudges her softly deciding to store that bit of information for their ladies night and smiles. ''Come on, Brittany will meet us at her house.''

Three hours later.

''God that was delicious.'' Quinn breaths out chuckling as Puck, Santana and Nicolas hum in agreement.

Brittany laughs as they all slide down their chairs one hand covering their stomachs and smiles. ''I am glad.'' She breaths out chuckling, she turns to Santana and raises an eyebrow. ''Were the sticks better?''

''Definitely.'' Santana breaths out laughing. ''When will you put them on the menu?''

''Never.'' Brittany replies chuckling. ''That's a recipe I keep for private cook outs.''

''When is the next one?'' Nicolas and Santana ask in unison, Puck laughs loudly and shakes his head in amusement.

''You triggered the Lopez food sense B.'' He breaths out in amusement. ''Now you have to cook more often.''

''We will see.'' Brittany just breaths out chuckling, she slowly stands up placing their empty plates on the kitchen counter and picks Beth up out of the chair she bought the day before as she reaches for her. ''Ready for a tour now?'' She asks looking at them.

''Hell yes.'' Puck breaths out as they all stand up knowing everyone wants to wander around the mansion like house, Brittany chuckles leading them out the kitchen with dining area and walks past the living room keeping that room to show them as last.

She mentions to the hallway beside the stairs and smiles slightly. ''That's a bit uninteresting, just two guest rooms and a bathroom.'' She tells them as she leads them up the stairs, she nods her head to the left and chuckles. ''Also two guest rooms and my office.'' She leads them over to a black door and smiles. ''This part of the hallway is sort of my domain.''

She pushes the door open smiling slightly as they all gasp softly and walks inside. ''The room where I spend most of my time.'' She breaths out. ''Either working on mixes or.'' She nods her head to the workout equipment and chuckles. ''Working out.''

''Damn.'' Puck whistles softly. ''This looks like a fitness studio B.''

Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''I know and I use most of them at least once or twice a day.''

''What is the last song you mixed Brittany?'' Nicolas asks curiously as he keeps his eyes on the beautiful metallic blue and black mixing console, Brittany walks over to him with a grin and reaches out sliding the lever of the volume down.

''This one.'' She tells him as she pushes play making sure only one side of the surround system around turns on, she smiles as Dance with Somebody fills the room and adjusts her hold on Beth still comfortably cuddled into her. ''Can you climb onto the chair Nicolas?''

She slides behind him as soon as he did and gently takes his hand placing it on the turn table. ''Gently turn the table to the left and.'' She let's go of his hand and taps one of the buttons. ''Push this one.'' She tells him softly not noticing the three adults behind her just watching her in shock knowing how much the equipment costs and definitely not expecting her to allow a kid to touch it.

She nods her head as he does as she told hearing the song slow down and smiles as it smoothly changes to higher love, she looks down at him and smiles kindly as he looks at her in surprise. ''That transition was better than some DJ's manage to do.'' She tells him chuckling.

''This is so cool.'' Nicolas breaths out, he slides off of the chair after Brittany turned everything off and walks over to his mami. ''Those were your favorite songs mami.''

''You love Whitney?'' Brittany asks as Santana hums in agreement, she smiles as she nods her head and glances at the calendar. ''Avalon has a Whitney party in two weeks, I could ask for tickets if the three of you would like to join.''

''We will think about it.'' Quinn breaths out as Santana turns to them knowing they can ask Santana's parents to babysit, Brittany just nods her head leading them out of the room and leads them over to a red door.

She turns to Noah stepping aside and nods her head to it. ''Open it Noah.'' She smiles as he just raises an eyebrow and shrugs. ''I think you will love it.'' She turns to Santana as he reaches for the door handle and smiles slightly. ''You might want to cover Nicolas's ears.''

She covers Beth's ear with one hand, gently pushing her other ear against her shoulder as Puck's loud gasp echoes around the hall way and laughs as she hears his yell. ''Holy fuck Britt!''

She follows him into her gaming room and snickers. ''Just because I don't talk about it, doesn't mean that I don't game.'' She tells him chuckling as the girls gasp in surprise as they look around at the different consoles, a huge TV and two big speakers.

Brittany flips the light switch smiling as the PlayStation symbol lights cast a colorful glow over the room and turns to Puck. ''Remember those?''

Puck mutely nods his head eyeing the lights and chuckles. ''Those are the lights we bought for your room back in Lima.''

''Those are the same lights, they just traveled with me.'' Brittany breaths out grinning, she walks over to the TV grabbing one of the controllers attached to the wall and holds it out for him. ''Same goes for this one, sadly the batteries died a long time ago.''

''Are you serious?'' Puck asks in surprise as he looks down at the controller with their and Emily's name on it, Brittany just looks at him and shrugs.

''I tried to save as much as I could, most things don't function but I won't throw them away.''

''Give me your name tonight, I will add you so we can game tomorrow.'' Puck breaths out, Brittany nods her head walking over to one of the storage boxes and digs around.

''I will take her.'' Quinn breaths out noticing Brittany struggle with juggling Beth and rummaging through something, she gently takes her daughter in her arms smiling as she continues napping in her arms and kisses her head.

''I don't have a lot of kids toys around but.'' Brittany starts, she turns on her heels looking at Santana and holds out an old game boy color with several games. ''Maybe Nicolas might like this if he is allowed to play with it.''

Santana looks at it and raises an eyebrow knowing how old and valuable those are. ''Are you sure?'' She slowly takes them from her as she nods her head and crouches down beside Nicolas. ''You can play.'' She allows as he looks at her with a big grin. ''But no TV before bed, I will read you a story okay?''

''Okay!'' He breaths out grinning

Brittany smiles leading them out of the room after Puck scrolled through the games she has and just nods her head as he holds the newest battlefield up silently asking if he can borrow it, she leads them down the hall to the master bedroom and pushes the door open.

''Damn.'' Quinn whistles looking around the huge bedroom with a big queen sized bed with a hardboard showcase, she looks around and just blinks. ''This room is amazing.''

Brittany chuckles leading them further into the room and looks around. ''Along with the workout slash mix room, this one is also my domain.''

''You kept everything.'' Puck breaths out as he stands in front of a showcase filled with old pictures of them with Emily, a few trophies they both won during their time on the high school football team together and a picture of their first prom where they went together not wanting to bring a date.

''Of course I did.'' Brittany murmurs as she joins him, she points to the picture in the top left corner and chuckles. ''That is how our friendship started.''

Puck laughs as he eyes the kindergarten picture with him standing on the playground with Brittany on his back and nods his head. ''The start of a beautiful friendship.'' He agrees as he wraps his arm around her shoulders, he turns his head to kiss her temple and smiles. ''So many awesome memories and now we can add more on top.''

''You were right.'' Santana breaths out teasingly as she joins them with Quinn. ''You were kinda cute.''

''I still am.'' Puck tells her pouting, Santana shakes her head and laughs.

''No now you are just a pain in my ass.''

''He was a pain back then too.'' Brittany tells her laughing. ''But I quickly got used to it and he toned down after he met Emily.''

''Is that Emily?'' Quinn asks softly pointing at a little blonde girl gazing into the camera with a big smile, sitting in a wheelchair between teenage Brittany and Puck.

Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. ''Yeah that's Em.'' She gently pats Puck's lower back as she hears him gulp and steps away, she walks over to the dresser standing between two doors and opens the bottom drawer.

She stands back up after grabbing a photo album and holds it out for Puck as she walks back to him. ''This one belongs in your hands Noah.'' She breaths out. ''I copied most pictures, but the original pictures are yours.''

Puck sucks in his lips as he eyes the red photo album with Young, Wild & Crazy times written on it in his handwriting and gulps thickly. ''The album I made for Em.'' He looks up locking eyes with Brittany and tries to hand it back. ''Britt you lo..''

Brittany quickly shakes her head and smiles. ''I still have the one you made for my twelfth birthday.'' She tells him softly. ''It's yours Noah.''

''Besides.'' She continues. ''We both lost our sister, I am not the only one who is hurting as fuck.'' She whispers making sure Nicolas won't catch on. ''We never gave a fuck about blood relation or not, in mine and in Em's eyes you are our big brother and losing contact for years didn't change a thing Noah.''

Puck nods his head handing Santana the album and steps forward pulling Brittany in a bear hug. ''Em left a gaping hole in both of our hearts but I am sure she is looking down with a huge grin now that she sees that we are together again Britt.''

Brittany just hums hugging him tightly and pulls back after kissing his cheek, she nods her head to the two closed doors after clearing her throat and smiles slightly. ''Aside from this there is also a bathroom and walk in closet.''

''Walk in closet?'' Santana and Quinn ask in unison, Brittany nods her head with a soft laugh as Puck groans and leads them over to the double doors. She pulls them over walking into the room and mentions her hand around.

''Walk in closet.'' She breaths out.

''Holy fuck.'' Quinn and Santana breath out with wide eyes as they follow her inside, Puck laughs as he sees the separation between clothes and shakes his head.

''Clubbing B.'' He states pointing his hand to the right side filled with sexy clothes and high heels. ''Typical street wear B.'' He continues pointing to the middle rack filled with hoodies and a whole lot of sneakers from different brands, he points his finger to the left and chuckles. ''Sporty B.'' He breaths out in amusement as he eyes the rack of several workout clothes and old sneakers.

''Gotta keep it organized.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging, she points to the corner behind him and chuckles. ''You forgot formal and dry cleaning shit.''

''Suits and dresses.'' Puck breaths out laughing. ''You still wear whatever you want.''

Brittany nods her head and laughs. ''Whatever mood I'm in, I'm not overly girly but dressing up once in a while is fun.''

''Are those LGBT converse?'' Quinn asks chuckling as she points to a pair of shoes standing in the left corner near the workout clothes.

''And a pride shirt?'' Santana adds snickering.

''Even an outfit for Christopher street.'' Puck breaths out laughing. ''Please tell me you still have the barfing unicorn pin Em gave you.''

Brittany laughs reaching into the shoes and holds up the little box. ''Sure do and I proudly wear it whenever I go to a parade.''

''Wait.'' Quinn breaths out slowly connecting the dots. ''You are..'' She cuts herself off and just raises an eyebrow

''I don't label myself.'' Brittany breaths out. ''I fall in love with the person and not with the gender of said person.''

Puck wraps an arm around her shoulders and smiles slightly noticing the nervous waver in her voice. ''We have gay friends and San's sister is a lesbian B.'' He tells her. ''Stop being so nervous whenever you talk about who you love.''

''Talking about love.'' He continues as they walk out of the closet after San and Q just nodded their heads in agreement. ''You never talk about that.''

''Not much to talk about.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling as she leads them out of her bedroom smiling as Nicolas follows. ''I am single.''

Santana gulps thickly as her stomach suddenly flutters the second that sentence leaves Brittany's mouth and slightly shakes her head telling her mind to shut up, she places her hand on Nicolas's shoulder as they walk down the stairs not noticing Quinn observing her and leads him down the stairs.

''I also don't think anyone will date someone who currently puts all her time in energy in three jobs.'' Brittany adds as she leads them down the hall to the living room.

''And you won't drop something to date?'' Puck asks with an eyebrow raised.

''The current dating world sucks.'' Brittany deadpans. ''You either find a girl who will u-haul her ass into your life and tries to forcefully move in with you the second they reek money.'' She tells him as she watches Santana cover Nicolas's ear after she glanced at him. ''Or you find someone who wants all your time and tries to force you to give up everything you love doing, so you have time for her.''

''She is not wrong.'' Santana breaths out chuckling as Quinn and Puck burst out laughing. ''Add bumping into someone who just wants to bang you, because you're hot, to the list and you have all bases covered.''

''Best example is almost every damn weekend during a gig.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''You guys don't even want to know how many miserable pick up lines I hear or read, followed by a drink the waitress brings up to the booth.''

''Like?'' Quinn asks in amusement.

Brittany tilts her head and chuckles. ''Last week it was.'' She pauses making sure she words it correctly and shakes her head. ''Oh right, interested in a romantic person?'' She rolls her eyes and chuckles. ''I start with kissing your lips and work my way up to your mouth.''

She shakes her head as Puck covers his mouth laughing and nods. ''That one did manage to make me chuckle, but some are just borderline disgusting and I am glad I wear a mask so no one knows who I am the second I leave the bar.''

''They don't recognize your clothes?'' Quinn asks curiously, Brittany shakes her head and chuckles.

''I always change before leaving.''

''What is the baddest pick up line you heard?'' Puck asks chuckling, Brittany turns to him and laughs.

''I will tell you in a few.'' She pushes the sliding door leading to the living room open and nods her head to Beth. ''I will grab us a drink, you can place Beth down on whatever looks comfy for her.''

She smiles as she hears their gasps the second they walk into the living room and turns on her heels to grab two glasses of wine, two beers and a glass of homemade watermelon lemonade for Nicolas.
