Three weeks after their first date Brittany and Santana went out once every week that followed, the last one being the day before with Nico the three of them deciding to go to the Santa Monica Pier and ride the Ferris wheel during sunset each date ending with a kiss on the cheek.
''Happy birthday!'' Santana chuckles as Brittany jumps the second her papi leads her into the living room and smiles lovingly as Beth and Nicolas rush over to tackle the tall blonde in a hug.
Brittany chuckles looking up after hugging the kids smiling as Sophia also skips over to hug her with a shy grin and just shakes her head. ''Y'all are crazy.''
''Nope you just joined the, oh damn I am almost too old club.'' Puck tells her laughing as he walks over, he tugs her up and hugs her tightly. ''Happy birthday sis.''
Santana walks over with the girls as Brittany thanks him softly and smiles hugging her tightly and kissing her cheek near the corner of her mouth as she hears Puck talking to her dad right behind her knowing he covers them. ''Happy birthday Britt-Britt.'' She whispers softly against the warm skin.
''Thank you.'' Brittany murmurs against her cheek, she smiles as Santana's parents walk over to hug her and just shakes her head looking around at the decorated living room. ''Had I known that you all planned this, I wouldn't have stayed at the restaurant till late.''
''The crew and team wanted to celebrate it with you too Britt.'' Santana just breaths out grinning. ''We decided to celebrate your birthday in the evening.'' She glances at the kids nodding her head as she notices them waiting patiently with their gifts and smiles. ''Please sit.'' She breaths out gently pushing her down. ''The kids want to give you their present before they have to go to bed.''
''Here Britty!'' Nicolas squeaks out holding out the medium sized wrapped gift as Beth and Sophia join him, he steps back as they place the drawings they made on top of the gift and leans back against his mami's legs.
Brittany smiles as she looks at both drawings with several stick figures, all displaying their group of friends and looks up at them with a grin. ''I love it.'' She breaths out. ''These will also find a nice spot on the refrigerator.''
She chuckles as big smiles form on their lips and places the drawings beside her, she rips the wrapping paper off of the box in her lap and slowly opens it.
''You telled us that your bag is really old.'' Sophia tells her with a shy grin as she looks up at them in surprise.
''Told.'' Liv, Abi, Santana and Brittany correct simultaneously.
''This is your new bag auntie B.'' Beth just continues with a big grin.
''And everyone will know.'' Nicolas tells her with a big smile as she takes the black and blue bag out of the box. ''It has your soccer name and number on it.''
Brittany smiles lovingly as she looks at the personalized gym duffle bag and places it down beside her, she slides down the couch and holds her arms out. ''Come here.'' She murmurs, she hugs them as they immediately walk into her embrace and kisses their heads smiling as she feels Sophia also relax in her hold. ''I love it, thank you so much.''
She smiles as they kiss their cheeks and looks up at her friends, she winks as they just look at her with a loving grin and mouths Thank you knowing they had the idea. She turns back to the three kids enjoying her embrace and pulls back tapping their noses as they yawn. ''I think it's time to go to bed.'' She winks as they pout and kisses their foreheads. ''I will be here tomorrow and Santa will come as soon as all the kids sleep.''
''So Tio Puck has to go to bed too?'' Nicolas asks giggling, Brittany laughs as Puck's jaw drops hearing the girls muffle their laughter and nods her head.
''Yeah so Tia Q will tuck him in soon.'' She tells Nicolas chuckling.
''Seriously B?'' Puck whines softly, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and laughs.
''Hey Nic asked.''
''Alright mijo, bed time.'' Santana breaths out as she walks over, she ruffles his hair and winks as he looks up at her with a pout. ''Say good night mi corazón.''
''You too baby girl.'' Abi breaths out.
''Same goes for you princess.'' Quinn adds as she picks Beth up smiling as she giggles, Brittany chuckles as the kids giggle and slowly stands up.
''Good night.'' She murmurs kissing their cheek as they look at her with a big grin, she watches Santana walk out of the living room right behind Quinn and Abi and turns to Puck as he clears his throat.
''We all know you said no gifts because it's Christmas tomorrow.'' He holds his hands up as Brittany glares and chuckles. ''Hey I know the girls kept their promises but.'' He reaches into his pocket and holds out a jewelry box for her. ''This if for your, from all of us B.''
Brittany just sighs taking the box from him not noticing the girls walking back into the living room and slowly opens it, she gulps thickly as she sees the angel wing necklace and reaches out to slide them aside. ''Thank you.'' She just whispers her voice cracking as she reads the nickname they gave Emily with the date she passed away.
''I know the tattoo is already there to carry Em with you, but now you can add this one on top B.'' Quinn breaths out as she joins the hug with Abi, Santana and Liv.
''Bambi enjoyed her life because of us B, now we enjoy our lives knowing we have a guardian angel up there who will make sure nothing will ruin our dreams.'' Puck murmurs as she kisses her head.
''I love it.'' Brittany just breaths out as she kisses their cheeks, she holds it out and raises an eyebrow. ''Can one of you put it on me?''
She laughs as Abi takes it from her to place it in Santana's hands and sits down as Liv just nudges her, She holds her hair up as Santana sits down beside her and glances at Emilio as he clears his throat.
''Do you want to drink something Brittany?''
''A water please.'' She chuckles as everyone just turns to her with an eyebrow raised and shrugs. ''I am surprised I don't slur, I already shared a bottle of Jack and a bottle of Vodka with Press and Emslie.''
''Did you drive?'' Santana asks frowning, Brittany shakes her head and smiles reasuringly.
''My car is still parked in front of the restaurant.'' She breaths out. ''Kevin lives around here and he is still underage, so I just asked him if I can drive with him.''
''Two bottles, really B?'' Puck just asks chuckling, Brittany turns to him and snickers.
''If I had agreed to keep up with Sue and the rest of the team, I would have been hungover as hell tomorrow.'' She tells him chuckling. ''So I agreed to drink with Press and Emslie.''
''The others drank too much?'' Maribel asks in amusement.
''It's the start of winter break.'' Brittany explains chuckling. ''We can never let loose around the weekends knowing we have an upcoming match or training, so the most of them drink a bit more than just two glasses as soon as break starts.''
''We had to carry Sue out to a cab and most girls will crash at the restaurant, so yeah they definitely drank too much.'' She smiles as everyone laughs softly and leans back smiling as Santana just leans back beside her, their hands between them grazing each other. She links their pinkies together after crossing her legs making sure it covers their hands and shrugs. ''Marley will kick them out tomorrow, we have a few tables reserved around lunchtime tomorrow but we will close before it's dinner time same goes for New Years Eve.''
''So you need a ride to your car tomorrow?'' Puck asks chuckling, Brittany shakes her head and smiles.
''I will drive down with Kevin again around six tomorrow morning, I have all the gifts in my car so I hope the kids will sleep till seven.''
''We mostly cuddle with them till eight.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''Seven is too early to get up and watch them rush around in excitement.''
''Do you all still need to wrap the gifts?'' Brittany asks curiously, Santana shakes her head intertwining their hands as she notices her parents already smiling knowingly knowing they will talk in the morning and squeezes Brittany's hand softly as she feels her tense in surprise.
''We already wrapped them while papi was outside with them.'' She answers with a grin. ''We all just agreed to go to bed early tonight.''
''The family will arrive around seven-thirty tomorrow so the house will be filled with hyperactive kids and tired adults.'' Maribel adds chuckling, Abi hums in agreement and glances at the time.
''Well it's twelve now, we have to go to bed now to make sure we sleep enough.''
''So six hours for B.'' Quinn breaths out snickering.
Brittany shoots her a glance and shakes her head as she smirks. ''Just be quiet Q.''
Emilio laughs and claps in his hands. ''Alright bedtime kids, do we need to tuck you in and read a story too?''
''Papi.'' Abi and Santana groan out in unison as the rest of the group snickers.
Santana just shakes her head as her dad smirks and stands up pulling Brittany with her. ''No story needed.'' She tells them chuckling. ''I will just hit B with a hammer so she will be knocked.''
''Well thanks.'' Brittany grumbles, she turns to Puck as everyone laughs and raises an eyebrow. ''Can I crash with you?''
Puck shakes his head and laughs. ''Nope you told all of us you sleep so little, gotta live with everything we come up with to make you sleep longer B.''
''A hammer?'' Brittany just asks with an eyebrow raised, she rolls her eyes as he just shrugs his shoulders with a laugh also standing up and turns to Maribel and Emilio smiling as she notices them trying to bite back their smiles. ''Good night Maribel and Emilio.''
''Good night kids!''
Brittany laughs as everyone groans and follows Santana up the stairs, she smiles as she feels her intertwine their hands as soon as they walked out of the living room and reaches behind her to hit Puck as she hears his soft whistle. ''Shut up Noah.''
''Yeah.'' Santana agrees also hitting him as soon as they reach the top. ''Be quiet ass.'' She whispers as he groans, she hugs the girls as they chuckle and wishes them a good night after Brittany did.
One hour later.
Santana looks up from her phone as she hears the bathroom door open and smiles slightly as Brittany walks out with damp hair, she locks eyes with her as she yawns and chuckles. ''How bad is your head killing you right now?''
''It's an uncomfortable throb.'' Brittany grumbles as she drops down beside her. ''Remind me to never drink with any of them again.''
Santana just laughs softly and holds up a painkiller and water bottle for her. ''Drink this Britt-Britt, it will hopefully fight the headache.'' She smiles as she sits up to take the pills without complaining and glances at her phone. ''Did you check your Instagram tonight?''
''No.'' Brittany breaths out placing the water bottle on the nightstand beside her. ''Why?''
Santana just shows her, her phone and chuckles. ''Really Cotton Eye Joe?''
''Cotton Eye..'' Brittany cuts herself off and quickly looks at Santana's phone. ''Oh no.''
Santana covers her mouth to muffle her laughter as Brittany watches the clip of her team including Brittany dancing in their dressing room and snickers as she watches the blush creep up her neck to her cheeks. ''Nice moves though.''
''That was after our match against San Diego.'' Brittany groans out covering her face. ''We were all pretty hyped and Press decided that we should dance it out, I didn't even know Sue recorded this.''
''I think Emslie dancing around like a horse is the best thing.'' Santana breaths out laughing. ''You and Press dancing after her acting like you are swinging a rope to catch her makes it even better.''
Brittany just hides her face against Santana's shoulder and groans. ''I will kill Sue.''
''Does she have more videos like that?'' Santana asks chuckling, she laughs as Brittany just hums and wraps an arm around her waist. ''Nah don't kill her yet, I want to see them.''
''We just goof around.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''Press always comes with a crazy idea and somehow ropes me and Emslie into it.'' She scrolls down to read the message Sue wrote underneath and smiles slightly.
Happy 24th birthday to our Phoenix (Pierce), she only joined our team about six months ago but we all agreed that she will never leave because together with Snake (Press) and Dragon (Emslie) she is the reason we have moments like these after matches!
Enjoy your day and the winter break BrittOfficial, see you next month!
''Press is the reason we have moments like that.'' She breaths out chuckling. ''Emslie is just whipped as fuck and I have no idea how they manage to pull me into it too.''
''Because you are just as crazy.'' Santana breaths out chuckling, she laughs as she glares up at her and shrugs. ''It's the truth.''
Brittany just rolls her eyes and sighs. ''Yeah, yeah.'' She grumbles softly, she turns back to Santana's phone as she notices her tap her profile and tilts her head as she scrolls to the page of all messages she was tagged in.
''Wait what?'' She whispers softly noticing four similar pictures of the group and kids with the kids faces blurred, she taps one of them and raises an eyebrow as she notices that it's from Liv and Abi.
Happy birthday to the crazy giant that definitely made our lives crazier! Love ya, Ab's, Liv & Soph.
''I am not that tall.'' She grumbles softly as Santana snickers, she looks up as she feels Santana move and smiles slightly as she just looks at her with an eyebrow raised. ''I can't help it that the both of you are that much shorter.''
''You are just too tall.'' Santana breaths out shrugging, she laughs kissing her cheek as she rolls her eyes and smiles. ''I like it though.''
''Can I have that on paper?'' Brittany asks, she snickers as Santana frowns and shrugs. ''Whenever you tease me, I can show you that you like it.''
''I don't know what you are talking about.'' Santana breaths out laughing, Brittany rolls her eyes and shakes her head.
''Right.'' She breaths out smiling as she hears her soft sweet giggle, she taps her name again, tapping the picture beside Abi's post and smiles as she reads a similar message from Quinn.
''You gained a few followers after our posts.'' Santana breaths out with a sheepish grin. ''We didn't think of that until a few hours after we posted it.''
''I don't mind.'' Brittany just murmurs softly as she taps the next picture, she smiles as she notices that it's from Puck and swipes to the next picture as she notices that he added another one. ''Oh god, that's old.'' She breaths out in surprise.
''How old were you there?'' Santana asks softly as she looks at the picture of Brittany and Puck standing side by side. ''And why do the both of you dressed up?'' She adds chuckling as she notices the powdered blue tuxedo Puck wears and the baby blue dress Brittany wears.
''That was the prom we told you about.'' Brittany murmurs chuckling. ''It was during our first prom so we were fourteen.'' She scrolls down to read Puck's message and smiles lovingly.
Happy birthday to the best friend/sister!
I am glad that I can celebrate it with you again nerd, enjoy your day and see you tonight!
Love you!
She returns back to her own page tapping the last picture and smiles as Santana's name shows up, she scrolls down as she sees the same picture noticing that Santana posted it first and nuzzles the side of her face against her shoulder as she reads her message.
If you are lucky enough to find a weirdo that brightens up your life along with the biggest weirdo PuckPictures never let go of them, happy birthday to this crazy and goofy weirdo, one year older but none the wiser!
The group, Nic and I can't wait to celebrate it with you, happy 24th birthday BrittOfficial!
She kisses Santana's shoulder softly and smiles. ''Thank you, but I am not a weirdo.''
''True.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''You are a clown, but weirdo sounds a bit nicer.''
''Not nice.'' Brittany grumbles softly, Santana just laughs and pulls her closer.
''I never said that I was.'' She turns her head as she feels her yawn and kisses her temple. ''It's almost three in the morning Britt-Britt, you need to sleep.''
''Don't wanna.'' She laughs softly as she whines and places her phone on the nightstand.
''Hammer?'' She just asks grinning, she snickers as she growls softly and tugs her closer. ''Stop whining, let's go to sleep.''
''Do I have to move?'' She shakes her head hearing her soft question and just tugs her even closer.
''Nope, you can stay right where you are.'' She murmurs softly as she kisses her temple again. ''Good night Britt.'' She smiles as she feels her warm lips on her cheek after she reached up to turn off the lights and tugs the comforter up to their shoulders as she hears her soft sweet whisper.
''Good night San.''
