''Whoa Brittany, that TV is so big!'' Nicolas gasps out as the blonde joins them in the living room, he thanks her as she hands him a glass and kneels down between his mami's legs and the coffee table taking a sip with a soft hum.
Brittany glances at her TV with a soft chuckle and nods her head. ''I needed one to watch soccer plays or watch football and not miss a thing, this one allows me to focus on everything happening.''
''You must have paid a fortune for all of this.'' Puck breaths out as he eyes the huge TV with an entertainment system, the dark wooden fireplace mantel with a picture of Emily in the middle and the beautiful view over the Elephant hill.
''Maybe a bit, but I am not planning on moving out any time soon or give this house up for the same price I bought it for after everything I renovated and fixed.'' Brittany breaths out as she sits down beside Santana on bigger chair so she won't disturb Beth sleeping contently beside Quinn on the couch, she turns to the short haired blonde and smiles. ''You can kick your feet up Quinn.''
''Can we throw on a movie and talk?'' Puck asks. ''Nic will be distracted and we won't have to cover his ears every time.''
Brittany leans forward grabbing the remote control after glancing at Santana making sure she is okay with it, having heard that Nicolas has screen time every day and turns the TV and her entertainment system on. ''What do you like Nicolas?'' She asks curiously as she starts up her Netflix.
''The little mermaid!'' He breaths out pointing at the movie with a big grin, she chuckles pushing play on the movie after lowering the volume a bit and places the remote control back down. ''Can he have a snack?'' She asks Santana softly.
She nudges Nicolas softly as she hums and points to the drawer of the coffee table. ''You might find something good in there, if not I have more things in the kitchen.
''Can I have these?!'' He asks excitedly grabbing the opened bag of skittles, he smiles brightly as Brittany nods her head and closes the drawer again. Brittany laughs as Puck reaches forward opening the drawer and shakes her head in amusement as Santana leans forward stealing a few skittles from Mateo.
''How the hell do you stay so fit?'' Quinn asks laughing as she looks at the drawer filled with cookies, chocolate and candy.
''Workouts.'' Brittany replies chuckling. ''I don't count calories but the second my mind tells me I ate too much, I work out.''
''Don't look at me.'' Puck grumbles as Quinn and Santana turn to him with an eyebrow raised. ''I'm still fit.''
''Fit enough to carry a ten month old, when is the due date?'' Brittany teases, she ducks as he throws one of the couch pillows in her direction as Santana and Quinn burst out laughing and shrugs. ''Just asking.''
''Just shut up.'' Puck grumbles chuckling. ''So what is the worst pick up line you ever heard?'' He asks with an eyebrow raised after making sure Nicolas is distracted.
''During my second gig, Avalon threw an oldies night.'' Brittany breaths out shuddering at the thought. ''The club was filled with people that could be all of our parents and the waitress walked up to the booth handing me my favorite drink and a folded up note.''
''She walked off after nodding her head to a middle aged guy, from far he looked a bit like peter griffin, a few pounds too heavy, bald and just oozed off creepiness.''
''What did the note say?'' Santana asks in amusement as Quinn and Puck snicker.
''If I make a spice joke will you let me cumin you?'' Brittany breaths out in disgust.
''That's nasty.'' Santana gags as Quinn's face scrunches up in disgust and Puck muffles his laughter.
''I asked the bouncer to lead me the Uber that night.'' Brittany adds chuckling. ''Every time I see him now, I just immediately shake my head the second the waitress turns to me asking if I want his drink.''
''So every gig ends with you being wasted?'' Puck asks still laughing, Brittany slowly shakes her head and chuckles.
''Tipsy but not wasted, I still need to function during training the next day.''
''Do you still sing and dance?'' Puck asks curiously. ''You listed up what you do, but you didn't mention that.''
''Do you?'' Brittany smiles sadly as he immediately shuts up and sighs. ''I think we both gave that up at the same time Noah.''
''The both of you sang and danced?'' Quinn asks in surprise turning to Puck as Santana looks between the both of them with an eyebrow raised.
''We did for Em.'' Puck breaths out sighing. ''Whenever she was in pain music soothed it a bit so Britt and I sang for her, after a while she also asked us to dance after we all watched step up so we did.'' He turns to Brittany and smiles sadly. ''You gave it up right after her funeral?''
Brittany nods her head and shrugs. ''The only dancing and singing I do now is at a club or concert.'' She tilts her head and chuckles. ''And in the locker room with the team.''
''You girls sing in the locker room?'' Santana asks chuckling.
''Yeah Press came up with it to motivate all of us, it kinda helps.'' Brittany replies snickering.
''San.'' Quinn whispers leaning forward to nudge her before she can ask Brittany something else, she nods her head to Nicolas and smiles slightly. ''Baby boy is out.''
Santana just looks at her son in surprise and glances at the time. ''That's early.'' She breaths out chuckling, she stands up and crouches down beside him gently picking him up.
''Do you want to bring him into one of the guestrooms?'' Brittany asks softly, she turns to Quinn and smiles. ''Beth too?''
''You won't mind?'' Santana asks, Brittany shakes her head and smiles kindly.
''Not at all, come on.'' She leads them out of the living room after asking Puck to grab drinks for them and leads them down the hall to the first guest room, she walks in pulling the blanket back for them and walks out as they both walk over to the bed to tuck the kids in.
''Hey San?'' Quinn asks softly as she watches Santana fold Nicolas's jeans so he can sleep comfortably, she walks over as she hums and bites her lip. ''Would you mind crashing here tonight with us? I don't think any of us is sober enough to drive.''
''Yeah that's what I just thought about too.'' Santana breaths out. ''Puck already had three beers and Brittany's wine definitely hits.'' She turns to look at her and bites her lip. ''You think she will mind?''
Quinn shrugs her shoulders and chuckles. ''I will tell Puck to ask.''
''Why don't you?''
''She is his best friend.'' Quinn breaths out as they walk out of the guestroom leaving the door ajar. ''She definitely is a friend now but I barely had the chance to talk to her because Puck had a lot to catch up, I rather have him ask for now.''
''Yeah we both didn't really get the chance to interact a lot with her, but she is good with Nic and Beth that's already a huge green flag in my eyes.'' She smiles as Quinn hums in agreement and follows her back to the living room, she laughs as she sees Puck and Brittany cuddled up on the couch and raises an eyebrow. ''The both of you need some privacy?'' She teases grunting as Quinn slaps the back of her head.
''Nope come on.'' Puck breaths out patting the empty spot beside him. ''We decided to stop talking and enjoy a movie.'' He locks eyes with Quinn as she walks over and bites his lip. ''I definitely drank too much tonight, can you drive?''
Quinn shakes her head and chuckles. ''Brittany's wine is stronger than the wines we know.'' She breaths out.
Puck just hums knowing Santana drank just as much and turns to look at Brittany as Santana steps over his legs to sit down in the empty spot beside her. ''Britt?''
''Yes you can.'' Brittany breaths out. ''Guest rooms are all ready, just pick one.'' She tells them with a smile. ''I will grab a change of clothes for all of you after the movie and I could wash the clothes you are wearing now so it's clean and dry by tomorrow.''
''We can just wear them again.'' Santana breaths out, she turns to the blonde and smiles. ''Thank you though.''
''What are we watching?'' Quinn asks curiously as Brittany just smiles.
''Nightmare on the elm street.'' Puck breaths out grinning, he winces as two hands suddenly slap the back of his head and groans. ''Hey!''
''A horror movie, really?'' Santana asks frowning, Brittany rolls her eyes and hits his arm.
''You told me that they will be fine with it!''
''Come on.'' Puck whines as they slap him again. ''It's a good movie and we are not alone!''
''The second something enters this house, you are bait.'' Santana threatens harmlessly as Quinn just rolls her eyes easily giving in to Puck's wish to watch the movie and grumbles. ''I need sugar.''
''How does ice cream sound?'' Brittany asks chuckling. ''I have two new creations in the freezer that might land on the menu, I would love to hear what the three of you think.''
''What kind of ice cream?'' Santana asks curiously.
''Irish cream and brownie swirl ice cream and peanut butter whiskey, topped with salted caramel.''
''Oh I take the whiskey!'' Santana breaths out grinning, Brittany laughs slowly standing up and turns to Puck and Quinn.
''Do you want ice too?''
''I'll take the Irish cream.'' Puck breaths out. ''I still don't like pure whiskey.''
Brittany rolls her eyes and chuckles. ''Yeah I figured.'' She turns to Quinn and chuckles as she notices the doubt in her eyes. ''I also have homemade cookie dough eyes, without any booze but with white chocolate drops.''
''That sounds amazing.'' Quinn breaths out, she turns to Puck and Santana as Brittany walks off and raises an eyebrow. ''If her ice cream tastes like the dinner she made, we have to keep her around.''
''You only say that because she wrapped pork tenderloin in bacon and added crispy bacon pieces to the hollandaise sauce.'' Santana breaths out laughing.
''Come on, the both of you can't say that you tasted a better pork tenderloin before.'' Quinn breaths out chuckling. ''The maple roasted carrots, corn bread and sweet potato gnocchi were amazing too.''
''I am glad you all liked it.'' Brittany breaths out as she joins them again carrying four middle sized dessert cups, she chuckles as they just look at her with an eyebrow raised and shrugs. ''I can't just serve ice cream, I always have to create something.'' She explains handing Quinn the cookie dough ice topped with whipped cream and chopped walnuts.
She hands Puck his Irish cream ice cream topped with whipped cream and smiles as he chuckles the second he sees the white chocolate, caramel and strawberry sauce drizzle. ''Still like those?'' She chuckles as he nods his head and sits back down beside him after handing Santana one of the Whiskey, peanut butter cups topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
''Are those maraschino cherries?'' Quinn asks leaning forward, she reaches over Puck to pluck one out of Brittany's cup and chuckles as they all turn to her in surprise. ''San is sitting too far away, so you will suffer now Britt.''
Brittany just smiles hearing the nickname slip past her lips and shrugs. ''Steal all you want, if you want more the glass is still standing on the counter.''
''Why the hell does someone have a glass of maraschino cherries at home?'' Puck asks as he takes a bite of his ice cream. ''Damn this is amazing B.''
Brittany laughs leaning back against the couch and shrugs. ''The restaurant clan is over a lot and we sometimes decide to create our own cocktails, try them and rate them.'' She explains. ''Most cocktails need maraschino cherries.''
''Rate them?'' Santana asks in confusion, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.
''We rate them and the one that gets the highest points will be cocktail of the week and will be served for half of it's price during happy hour.''
''Who wins mostly?'' Quinn asks curiously.
''That's a tie between Marley and me.'' Brittany breaths out laughing. ''In the end it's only the two of us left standing, the others are wasted after trying five or six.'' She smiles as they laugh and nudges Puck. ''Push play Noah and let's eat before the ice cream melts.''
Santana takes a bite of her ice cream, humming softly the second the rich taste of peanuts combined with whiskey hits her tongue and turns to Brittany in surprise as the movie starts. ''This is amazing Brittany.'' She compliments softly. ''I would put it on the menu.''
''Thank you.'' Brittany murmurs softly, she takes the remote control from Puck and lowers the volume a bit as he turns to complete surround system on. ''I have boxes behind us too.'' She explains as he opens his mouth to protest. ''This movie is filled with jump scares that will blast through those, I don't want ice cream staining my carpet.''
She chuckles as he laughs softly and turns back to the TV as she notices Quinn scoot closer to Puck the second the first scene starts, she reclines her head back against the couch concentrating on the movie and hums softly as she eats her ice cream in silence.
Forty minutes in the movie she turns to Santana as she jumps with a soft muffled gasp and raises an eyebrow. ''You really don't like these kind of movies huh?'' She asks softly making sure she won't disturb Puck fully concentrating on the movie.
Santana shakes her head and scoffs. ''Absolutely hate them.'' She whispers. ''Which is kind of weird because I could get an offer to film one any time.'' She adds with a soft chuckle.
''I think acting in one and watching one is a bit different.'' Brittany whispers through a soft chuckle. ''Why didn't you say something? We could have watched a comedy or something.''
''Because I know Puck loves horror movies and Quinn can sit through them as long as she can cuddle.'' Santana murmurs shrugging. ''I will live.''
Brittany bites her lip as she feels her jump again and reaches over her grabbing the blanket laying on the arm of the couch, she places it in her lap smiling as she looks at it with an eyebrow raised and shrugs as she turns to her. ''It's a weighted blanket.'' She explains softly. ''Most people think it only helps against anxiety but it's also pretty good to use it as a comfort shield.''
''Why do you have one of these?'' Santana asks curiously, Brittany glances at the TV and nervously licks her lips.
''Nightmares.'' She just murmurs softly. ''Whenever I had a day filled to the brim my mind can't shut up so nightmares start up.'' She breaths out with a soft sigh. ''I have one here and one in the bedroom, it just feels like someone is near me in my sleep which calms me down quite quick.''
Santana unfolds the blanket spreading it out over both of their legs and locks eyes with Brittany as she turns to her in surprise. ''Your day was filled.'' She states with a shrug. ''And judging the way you shiver even though you try to hide it, you're cold.''
''Busted.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''Yeah I am always cold and normally I throw the fireplace on as soon as I get home, but I forgot to do that today.''
Santana chuckles and offers her one corner of the blanket. ''It's big enough for the both of us.'' She just breaths out, she smiles as Brittany takes it and turns back to the movie.
After a few minutes she jumps as Freddy's claws suddenly come out of the bed and silently curses Puck for picking that movie, she tenses as she feels fingers against the wrist of her hand laying beside her on the couch and relaxes quickly as calming blue orbs lock on her own the second she turns her head.
''Remind me to kick his ass, the next time he picks a movie like this.'' She grumbles softly as she scoots just a tiny bit closer to Brittany.
''I will.'' Brittany promises with a soft laugh not noticing the inner turmoil Santana is fighting with, she turns back to the movie with a soft groan as Puck nudges her hard and softly apologizes as she bumps against Santana.
Santana just shakes her head and reaches behind Brittany's head to slap Puck's head. ''Stop pushing her.'' She tells him as he turns to her with a frown, she chuckles as he just rolls his eyes and turns back to the movie.
She bites her lip as she feels Brittany's fingers gently clasp around her wrist the second the soft suspenseful music starts up knowing another jump scare nears and gulps thickly as she feels her body immediately relax, she glances at the blonde noticing her still watching the movie and exhales shakily not quite knowing what to think of the wave of feelings suddenly crashing over her.
