Thank you all so much for all your amazing reviews, I decided to reply to a few of them.

rg521: Yeah Brittany is quite obvious but she is slowly seeing what is going on, I first thought about writing about San rushing the field after Britt got injured but I thought it was too early, might happen in future chapters though.

Burglover421: Alma will show up more in future chapters and it won't be pretty but Brittana can handle it, this chapter is filled with more Nico cuteness.

''Mami?!'' Nicolas yells as he thunders down the stairs, three weeks after their family weekend.

Santana chuckles looking up from a script she received right after she returned back from Santa Monica and watches her son as he jogs into the living room. ''Finished your homework mijo?''

Nicolas nods his head jumping in her lap after she moved her hands away and wraps his arms around her shoulders. ''Si.'' He breaths out cuddling into her chest. ''What are we doing for Christmas this year?''

''Celebrate it with the family like always.'' Santana breaths out kissing the top of his head as she wraps her arms around his waist.

''With the crazies?'' He asks sweetly, Santana nods her head and chuckles.

''Do you think Tio Puck and Tia Q will pass up on Abuela's cooking?'' He shakes his head and giggles.

''No they love Abuela's cooking, will Britty join too?''

''She will.'' Santana breaths out. ''The day before Christmas we will all drive to Santa Monica and we will celebrate Brittany's birthday together with your Tia's, Tio, Soph, Abuela and Abuelo.''

Nicolas hums pulling back to look up at her and bites his lip. ''Can I ask something mami?'' He wraps his arms around her shoulders as she hums and tilts his head. ''Do you like Britty?''

Santana raises an eyebrow, trying to keep her body from tensing and frowns. ''Of course I do, she our friend, mijo.''

''No mami.'' He breaths out frowning. ''Do you like, like Britty?''

He watches her face noticing the worried frown as she bites her lip and tightens his hold around her shoulders. ''Like Tia Q likes uncle Puck or Tia Abi likes Tia Liv.'' He breaths out just to be sure she understands.

Santana worries her bottom lip between her teeth not knowing what to expect from this spontaneous conversation and exhales shakily.''Nicola…''

''Do you mami?'' He asks easily cutting her off, Santana sighs softly and slowly nods her head.

''I do.'' She confirms shakily as she looks down at the script, looking anywhere but at her son.

''Did you tell her?'' He giggles as her jaw drops and tightens his hold around her shoulders. ''You are smiling a lot when Britty is here with us mami, why don't you tell her?'' He asks this time the one to frown as his mami shakes her head.

''It's complicated mijo.'' Santana breaths out with a sad smile.

''Because of papi?'' He whispers, he pouts as she hums softly and braces his knees on her thighs to pull himself up to her height. He hugs her closely after kissing her cheek and sighs. ''Papi wouldn't want you to be sad all the time mami, I think he is happy to see you smile so much around Britty.''

''Papi sees us living our lives mami and he can see that you are really smiling now and not acting a smile.'' He continues softly. ''I also like seeing you this kind of happy.''

Santana runs a hand down her face and exhales shakily. ''Nicolas.'' She starts softly. ''I never faked a smile around you, you make me happy mijo.''

''I know.'' He whispers. ''But with Britty you are a different kind of happy mami, the kind you need in life too.'' He scoots even closer and smiles sadly. ''I think Brittany makes you the same kind of happy that papi did, why are you saying no to that?''

''Are you sure, that you are six?'' Santana asks in amazement. ''What brought this on baby?''

Nicolas nods his head and giggles. ''I am, almost seven.'' He breaths out giggling. ''And our family weekend in Santa Monica caused this, you were happy every day we were there mami but ever since we are back home, you are sad again.''

''You were really happy cuddling with Britty every night and I was too every morning where I joined you and Britty to cuddle before you woke up.'' He continues softly. ''I want that happy mami, here too.''

Santana just looks at him and gulps thickly. ''And you are really okay with this mijo?''

''I like Britty, mami.'' Nicolas breaths out with a grin. ''I like how she makes you happy and I also like that she does things with me and not just with you like some of your friends from work.'' He continues.

''Can we go to her?'' He adds grinning.

''Mijo!''

Nicolas giggles at her shocked face and shrugs. ''We didn't see her the past two weeks unless it was during training, you were busy and she was too.'' He pouts.

''That is one of the reasons why I think that this won't work and be easy mijo.'' Santana breaths out with a soft sigh, she licks her lips as he tilts his head in confusion and shrugs. ''Britty has three jobs, I also have to work a lot and aside from recording I also have you.'' She explains.

''We both don't have much time mijo.''

''But mami, what did you tell me after I told you I want to join the soccer team and didn't know if I had enough time with school, friends and family?''

''When you really want something, you make the time for it.'' Santana tells him softly.

Nicolas nods his head and smiles. ''And what did you tell Tia Abi the day she came over after Tia Liv proposed last year, Tia Abi was also afraid that it wouldn't be easy with work and life.''

Santana just looks at him realizing what he is trying to point out and groans. ''That love doesn't need to be perfect and easy, it jus needs to be true.'' She shakes her head as he just smiles brighter and sighs. ''I am raising a genius.'' She fake grumbles.

Nicolas giggles and cuddles close. ''You always tell me to listen to my heart mami, but why should I do it, if you don't?''

Santana sighs just glancing at the picture of Marcus holding Nicolas the day she gave birth and smiles sadly. ''I do want to listen to it, I am just scared that it will not only hurt the both of us but also Brittany.''

''That is why people talk right?'' Nicolas asks cutely. ''Talk to Britty, mami.''

He smiles brightly as she slowly nods her head and sits up. ''Now?!''

''Whoa easy.'' Santana breaths out laughing as she tightens her hold around his waist. ''I am sure she is at work, mi corazón.'' She sighs as he just looks at her with his eyebrows raised and sighs. ''I have no idea what to say to her mijo.''

''Maybe Tia Q, Liv or Abi know?'' He tries, he kisses her cheek as she hums softly and smiles. ''I will pack my bag for school mami, call them.''

Santana watches him jog out of the room and shakes her head with a soft sigh, she glances at the picture of Marcus again and bites her lip. ''That is your mini me.'' She whispers softly. ''Also pushing me into a direction not knowing what the outcome will be.''

She grabs her phone off of the table and opens her messenger, she scrolls down to the group with just her sisters and Quinn.

To Chica's: Girls I need help.

She chuckles as they immediately read it and bites her lip as her phone buzzes in her hand.

From Q in Chica's: What's up?

From Hermana in Chica's: Who's ass do I need to kick?

She laughs reading Abi's message and shakes her head in amusement.

From Liv in Chica's: What's wrong?

She bites her lip as she reads their messages and sighs softly knowing that she concerned them, she types out a reply reading it over once again and sends it to them before she can overthink.

To Chica's: No ass kicking Hermana, Nic just approached me and picked up on what everyone already noticed too, he asked me why I don't allow it to happen and continue ignoring what my mind and heart scream at me to do.

He seriously used my words that I used in our conversation last year Ab's against me, also using the things I told him about following his heart and making the time for things he wants.

So long story short, he wants me to be happy and if that is with Brittany, I should pull my head out of my ass and go for it. I just have no fucking idea how to approach this fucking subject around her and I still have some things I want to clear before.

She stands up walking into the kitchen to pack her sons lunch and places her phone on the kitchen counter. ''Mijo?'' She calls out.

''Si mami?'' She hears him yell back.

''Sandwich or wrap?''

''Wrap please!''

She hums grabbing everything she needs and quickly prepares a ham and cheese wrap for him, she slices up an apple sliding both into his lunch box and glances at her phone as it buzzes three times.

She taps it after grabbing a granola bar and slides it into Nic's bag making sure he has enough to drink, she glances down at her phone as it buzzes again and opens her messenger.

From Q: What do you want to clear?

From Liv: Just do whatever your heart tells you to do Santana, talk and if you think you can't, write a letter.

From Abi: I am glad baby boy also noticed and is happy with the idea of you dating her, approaching someone you are crushing on is hard but just like Liv said, just talk to her, see if she is open to talk about it too because she is hiding her feelings from you too Santanita.

To Chica's: She still works three jobs and is busy as fuck Q, she told all of us that she would lessen it if she meets the right person but biggest question is, does she think I am the right person, the person who is worth for her to change her view on today's dating world?

From Q: You are pretty fucking dense Snixx.

Santana frowns as Liv and Abi just send a laughing emoji and tilts her head.

To Chica's: Fuck you Fabray.

From Q: No seriously, you are fucking dense. She had a gig the weekend we were all in Santa Monica but canceled it after you invited her Santana. Yes I know Puck was there too, but I can guarantee you that if you write her and ask her if she has time, that she will make time!

She doesn't like today's dating world because women just want her money or u-haul their asses into her life, you are successful yourself and I am pretty sure you won't rent a u-haul and move all your belongings and Nic into her house immediately.

From Abi: The dating world is fucked up but the both of you are friends Santanita, friends talk about everything so just ask her if she wants to hang out and be yourself.

From Liv: Hang out with her and Nic, Nic allows the both of you some distraction and the second he crashes the both of you are relaxed enough to talk without stuttering and just see how the conversation goes. We are not telling you to drop the bomb immediately, but if it feels right, just do it.

Santana sighs slowly nodding her head and exits the chat after thanking them, she walks out of the kitchen, jogging up the stairs and walks down the hall to her son's room. She pushes the door open after knocking twice and leans against the door frame smiling lovingly as she sees him playing with his Lego's. ''Mijo?''

''Si mami?'' Nicolas breaths up looking at her with a big grin.

''Want to invite Britt over tomorrow for a movie night?'' She chuckles as he immediately nods his head with an excited grin and walks over to his bed to sit down, she kisses his head as he immediately slides between her legs leaning back against the bed and shows him her phone after opening Brittany's chat holding the microphone to send her a voice memo.

''Hey Britty, will you join us for dinner and a movie tomorrow?!'' She smiles slightly hearing the excitement in his voice and clears her throat.

''Nic and I would like to invite you over for Paella and a Disney night.'' She adds, she sends the voice memo raising an eyebrow in surprise as she sees the check marks beside the message immediately turning blue, telling her the blonde hears it immediately and gently runs her hand through her sons hair.

''It's shower and bed time after she replied mijo.'' She tells him softly. ''You have school and piano lesson tomorrow.'' She turns back to her phone as he just nods his head with a grin and turns to her phone having felt it buzz, she reads Brittany's reply and smiles.

From Brittany: Hey you two, I would love to should I bring something?

To Brittany: Just yourself, I will cook while Nic has his piano lesson here at home so come over around six?

From Brittany: Sounds perfect, see you tomorrow.

She places her phone down after wishing the blonde a nice night and locks eyes with her son waiting patiently for her answer. ''She will be here tomorrow after your lessons ends.'' She chuckles as his smile just grows and ruffles his hair. ''Time to shower and get ready for bed, mi corazón.''

She stands up following him into the bathroom and sits down on the closed lid of the toilet as he undresses, she turns the water on at the right temperature and chuckles as he steps into the shower with a toothy grin. ''Close your mouth before you swallow too much water mijo.'' She tells him in amusement as he steps under the warm water stream, she crosses her legs as he just giggles and leans her head back knowing he can shower alone but wants her to be around in case he does need help.

''Mami?'' She hums turning her head to look at him and raises an eyebrow.

''Yes baby?''

''Can we make dessert tomorrow?''

Santana nods her head knowing they have forty minutes before his teacher arrives and smiles. ''Sure, what do you have in mind?''

''Lemon bars or apple pie?''

''I will try to leave work a bit earlier to grab some groceries.'' She tells him with a soft chuckle. ''How does apple pie with ice cream sound?'' She asks as he washes his body, she laughs as he nods his head with a big smile and glances at the time on her phone. ''Wash your hair mijo, cuddles or song tonight?''

''Cuddles!''

She smiles lovingly knowing he only needs a song after a bad day and nods her head watching him wash his hair. ''Alright.'' She murmurs grabbing his bathrobe, she watches him turn off the water after making sure only clean water without bubbles run down his body and holds it open for him. ''Cuddles it is.'' She murmurs kissing the top of his wet hair as he steps into the bathrobe.

She gently taps his butt as she stands up and grabs a towel. ''Lean over.'' She whispers, she throws the towel over his head as he does so and quickly rubs her hand over it chuckling as his happy giggles fill the bathroom.

''All done?'' She asks lifting the towel to peak, she snickers as he just continues giggling and taps his nose. ''Dry and change into your pajamas, I will quickly lock everything up and join you again.''

''Okay mami.'' She hears him breath out, she follows him out of he bathroom looking down as his arms suddenly wrap around her waist and smiles lovingly as blue eyes filled with happiness lock on her own. ''Te amo, mami.''

She crouches down to hug him properly and kisses his head, her lips lingering as she takes in his scent. ''Te amo también mijo.'' She murmurs against his still damp hair as she feels his arms wrap around her shoulders.
