Two days before the housewarming and semi finals.
''Hey San?'' Puck asks walking into the kitchen of his house knowing Abi, his fiance and Santana met up to flip through movie offers now that the recording of the blockbuster ended.
''Hey Puck?'' Santana just asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Did you hear something from B today?''
''Not yet.'' She breaths out frowning, she sits up as he worries his bottom lip between his teeth and tilts her head. ''What's going on?''
''It's the anniversary of Em's death.'' Puck breaths out with a sad sigh. ''I tried to call her and ask if she wants to fly down to Lima, but she didn't answer at all.''
''Go.'' Abi and Quinn breath out in unison as Santana turns to them, Santana thanks them softly and jumps up.
''Mijo!'' She walks out of the kitchen and chuckles as he peaks his head out of the playroom Quinn and Puck created for the kids. ''We have to go, can you please say bye and put your shoes on?''
She grabs her own leather jacket as he runs over without a complaint and slips into her shoes. ''Text me as soon as you know how she is doing?'' Puck asks as she walks into his embrace right after she kisses the girls cheek and hugged the little ones.
''I will.'' She promises, she grabs her purse and turns to Nicolas. ''Ready mijo?'' She opens the front door as he nods his head, the both of them immediately sliding their sunglasses on as paparazzi immediately jump out of the bushes and jog down the steps to Santana's car parked up front.
''Buckle up immediately.'' She whispers as she picks him up, she opens the door as he hums and kisses his temple after placing him in his seat.
''Where are we going mami?'' He asks curiously after she slid in the car and drove off immediately.
''We are driving to Brittany's house.'' Santana replies as she glances in the rear view mirror, she takes a sharp right turn making sure he braces himself and sighs in relief as the paps are too late to follow. ''Hopefully she is home.'' She adds softly.
''Why?''
''It's the anniversary of Emily's, Britty's sisters death.'' She explains with a soft sigh. ''Tio Puck tried to call her, but she doesn't answer.''
''So Britty is sad?'' Nicolas asks, he sighs sadly as his mami hums and tilts his head. ''Can we grab ice cream?''
''I am sure Britty has a lot at home.'' Santana murmurs as she turns into Brittany's street. ''We will prepare sundaes for us.'' She adds as she parks her car, she slides out, opening Nic's door for him and takes his hand as soon as he jumped out.
''She is home.'' He breaths out pointing at the blue Audi, Santana hums as they walk up to the front door and rings the doorbell. She sighs sadly as she hears Jealous of the Angels filter through the door knowing the volume is turned up to the fullest and rings the doorbell again, she runs her hand through Nic's hair as he leans against her leg, hearing the music pause and bites her lip as she hears footsteps approaching the door.
''Can you go up to the gaming room for a bit mijo?'' She asks softly as she hears the door unlock, she leans down to kiss his head as he hums and looks up as the door swings open.
''Hey you two.'' Brittany breaths out in surprise, Santana smiles sadly as she sees her bloodshot eyes and bites her lip.
''Hey.''
''What are you doing here?'' Brittany asks softly as she crouches down to hug Nicolas, she nods her head as he asks if he can go up and turns to Santana tilting her head as she closes and locks the door right after she walked in and Nicolas ran up the stairs after kicking his shoes off.
Santana just steps closer after hanging her jacket up and quickly kicks off her shoes, she locks eyes with Brittany noticing the sadness clear in her eyes even though she tries to hide it and tugs her in an embrace. ''Don't hide.'' She just whispers softly.
''I'm fine.'' She hears her mumble softly, the crack clear in her voice.
Santana just hums leading her into the living room and sits down on the couch, she pulls Brittany beside her and gently tilts her head up as soon as she settled down beside her. ''There is no reason to hold back baby.'' She murmurs softly the term of endurance suddenly slipping past her lips, having fought with saying it the past few days.
''You were my strength a lot of times the past few months.'' She continues softly, she bites her lip as she watches blue orbs start filling with tears and smiles sadly. ''Let me be your strength now.''
She cups the back of her neck as she drops her head against her shoulder and immediately wraps her free arm around her waist as silent tears soak through her shirt, she leans back against the arm of the couch, kicking her feet up and tugs Brittany with her.
''You want to talk?'' She asks softly knowing everyone copes differently.
''Not really.'' Brittany whispers through her tears. ''Sorry.''
''Don't apologize Britt-Britt.'' Santana replies just as softly as she tugs her close, she tightens her arm around her waist and kisses her head. ''Music?'' She reaches for the remote control as she feels her nod and pushes play, she lowers the volume as all the speakers around them immediately spring alive and gently runs the fingers of her left hand through Brittany's soft blonde locks as Just missing you fills the living room.
She nuzzles her nose in Brittany's hair as she feels tears still soaking her shirt and runs her hand up her back, her touch firm but still gentle, she turns her head as she notices movement in the corner of her eyes and smiles sadly as Nicolas watches them with a sad frown.
She calls him over smiling as he immediately sprints around the couch and helps him climb up on top of her, she bites her lip as she watches his little arms immediately wrap around Brittany's shoulders and smiles lovingly as he leans down to kiss her temple, his soft sweet voice reaching her ears above the music.
''It's okay to be sad Britty, just like mi papi, Emily is everywhere but not where we need them the most.'' Santana gulps thickly as she feels Brittany move and watches her head slowly tilts up the tear tracks clear on her pale skin. ''But they are always here.'' Nicolas continues softly covering Brittany's heart. ''And here.'' He adds tapping her forehead.
''Emily knows how much you love her.'' Santana adds softly. ''The pain is unbearable but the memories we have will last a lifetime and show us the amazing time we had with them, we have to cherish that Britt-Britt.''
''On days like these it just hurts so fu..'' Brittany cuts herself off and cracks a small smile as Nicolas reaches up to cover his own ears, she gently tugs on his hands and kisses his forehead as he looks at her. ''It hurts a lot.'' She corrects softly, she turns to Santana as Nicolas scoots closer to cuddle with the both of them and smiles sadly. ''I am sorry for not texting you though.''
''It's okay babe.'' Santana murmurs softly as she tugs her back down, she kisses her forehead and sighs softly. ''But you might want to text Puck, he is concerned, same goes for Q, Ab's and pretty sure Liv knows it by now too.''
''I will later tonight.'' Brittany murmurs as she nuzzles her face against her shoulder. ''I love Noah, but the way he copes is not something I can handle, I love that he can handle his emotions with jokes but one wrong thing might set me off and I rather avoid that.''
''I will text him and tell him that you are okay.'' Santana murmurs softly as she nuzzles her nose back in her blonde locks, she places her free hand on Nicolas's back and sighs softly as she feels her yawn. ''Did you sleep at all last night?''
She taps Nicolas's back softly as she feels Brittany shake her head and smiles slightly as he looks up at her. ''Go change in the PJ's we keep here mijo.'' She tells him softly.
''Cuddle night?'' He asks grinning, Santana nods her head and smiles.
''Cuddle night.'' She confirms, she grunts softly as he knees her in the stomach while scrambling off of her and leans up. ''No running!'' She warns, she shakes her head as he immediately slows down shooting her a sheepish grin and turns to Brittany. ''Which room, Britt-Britt?'' She asks softly knowing they slept in the entertainment room last time she and Nicolas stayed the night.
''Can we sleep in the master? I think I need my bed the coming two days to allow my body to relax enough for the upcoming match.''
Santana just nods her head and slowly stands up, she holds her hand out for Brittany to take and tugs her up. She turns around as Brittany tugs on her hand before she can lead her up the stairs and hums softly in surprise as she dips her head to kiss her softly the second she turned around to look at her.
''What was that for?'' She asks softly as Brittany pulls back before she can deepen the kiss, she bites her lip as she feels her whole body buzz and gazes up in glistening blue orbs.
''Thank you.'' Brittany just whispers softly as they walk up the stairs. ''I didn't text or call because I didn't want to pull you and Nic down with me but..''
''Okay stop.'' Santana breaths out as soon as they entered the master bedroom, she turns on her heels to face her and shakes her head. ''Babe please call, text or come over whenever you are down, don't ignore it just because you think it will hurt us.''
She shakes her head before she can reply and intertwines their hands, she steps closer and leans up on her tiptoes to peck her lips. ''I don't give a damn about being down that day too.'' She murmurs softly. ''I will have you and Nic around to cheer me up, just like you have me and Nic to cheer you up.''
''I will text or call next time.'' Brittany promises softly, Santana just nods her head and smiles slightly.
''Good otherwise Nic and I will show up on your doorstep again.'' She smiles as she hears her soft chuckle and taps the hands she still holds softly. ''Let's change and cuddle.''
She grabs a long shirt out of Brittany's dresser and holds one out for Brittany. ''I will quickly change in the bathroom down the hall.'' She walks out of the room as she nods her head and leans down to kiss Nic's head as he walks past her with a big grin, she slips into the bathroom across the hall and takes off her clothes.
She tilts her head as she notices the fresh toothbrush, toothpaste, her favorite make-up wipes and a soft towel and grabs the little card with a cursive S sitting on top of it, she flips it open and smiles slightly as she notices the small note written by Brittany.
Hey Babe,
Instead of stealing my wipes I thought you could use your own package whenever you stay over, mouthwash, floss and your moisturizer are in the small basket to your right.
Xoxo
Britt-Britt.
She glances at the basket after wiping her make-up off and shakes her head as she sees the moisturizer she used for years, she grabs it, scooping a bit out after opening the package and warms it up in her hands before applying it to her face.
She walks out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth and walks back into the master bedroom. ''Whoa this feels like laying on the floating raft in Abuela's and Abuelo's pool, just much warmer!'' She raises an eyebrow as she hears her sons excited voice and tilts her head in confusion.
''What feels like the floating raft mijo?''
Brittany leans up on her elbow with a small grin and shoots Nicolas a wink. ''Sit down and find out San.''
Santana sits down her eyes widening as she feels the mattress give out. ''What the..'' She turns around as she hears her son giggle and raises an eyebrow as she locks eyes with Brittany. ''A waterbed?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. ''Perfect to relieve tension, back pain and soothes sore muscles.''
''It's like the floating raft!'' Nicolas exclaims giggling as he bounces up and down, he giggles as Brittany and his mami move up with the motion and turns on his side to look at Brittany. ''This is so cool and comfy, Britty!''
Brittany watches Santana lay down and raises an eyebrow as she notices the doubtful look in her eyes. ''Want to move to one of the other rooms?'' She asks softly as Nicolas cuddles close.
Santana shakes her head and smiles slightly. ''Nah I just have to get used to the boat feeling in bed.'' She breaths out snickering. ''I will be fine Britt-Britt.'' She tugs Nicolas on top of her so she can scoot into the middle and pulls the blonde down. ''And you need to sleep.''
''I am..'' Brittany cuts herself of with a sheepish grin as Santana just turns to her with an eyebrow raised and just nods her head. ''Yeah sleep sounds good.''
''Mami?''
They both turn to Nicolas as they hear his soft voice and Santana just smiles slightly as he grins cheekily. ''Mijo?''
''What does whipped mean?''
Brittany drops her head and groans. ''Did Puck tell something about that?''
Santana laughs as Nicolas nods his head giggling and glances at Brittany. ''Well I think in your Tio's eyes, Brittany is the definition of whipped.''
''Hey!''
''But.'' Santana continues chuckling. ''Whipped means someone who is devoted to his or her partner, someone who can't say no and will jump up the second they can do something.''
''So Britty.'' Nicolas breaths out giggling, he laughs loudly as Brittany pokes his side and looks up at his mami. ''But you too mami.''
Santana nods her head and smiles slightly. ''Yeah and I can't deny it.'' She muses, she glances at Brittany and winks. ''But sometimes being whipped, means that you care a lot and want to make sure your partner is okay and happy.''
''I like that definition more.'' Brittany murmurs with a grin, she nuzzles her face against Santana's shoulder and wraps her arm around Nicolas's waist, intertwining her hand with Santana's on his back. ''Your Tio is just as whipped though, he always jumps whenever your aunt says something.'' She adds in amusement.
''Well Tia Q can be scary.'' Nicolas giggles as Santana immediately nods her head and nuzzles his face against her chest with a yawn. ''I am tired.''
''Go to sleep buddy.'' Brittany just murmurs as Santana runs her hand through his dark locks, she glances at the time as his eyes slip closed and bites her lip as she sees how late it is. ''Doesn't he have school tomorrow?''
Santana shakes her head and sighs. ''Study day for the teachers.'' She breaths out with a soft sigh. ''He will have a long day on set with me.''
''Long day?'' Brittany just asks softly, Santana nods her head and sighs.
''The last finishing touches before the premiere next week, the planning is recording starting from 8 am till 8 pm.'' She glances down at her son as she feels him relax and runs her hand up his back. ''Puck and Liv both have to work, Q and Ab's will be on set with me, Beth and Soph are both at school so he will sit around and probably enjoy gaming until I have a small break.''
Brittany glances down at Nicolas as he sighs contently and bites her lip. ''I could take him if you want.'' She locks eyes with Santana as she turns to her in surprise and smiles nervously. ''I have training tomorrow and wanted to check up on the crew, I am sure Sue won't mind having him join and the crew adores him and won't mind him being around either.''
Santana glances at her sleeping son and smiles slightly. ''I think he will love that more, than sitting around on the set.'' She whispers. ''Are you sure?''
''I would love to spend the day with him San.'' Brittany breaths out with a small grin. ''Dating you means also sort of dating him and I want to get to know him better too, but only if you are okay with it.''
''I am.'' Santana murmurs, she turns her head to lock eyes with her and scoots closer to peck her lips. ''You are amazing, you know that?''
''I try.'' Brittany just whispers, she glances down at Nicolas and smiles. ''We will probably leave the house around the same time you do, training starts around nine but I will take him out to breakfast first.''
''Do you need his cleats?''
''I am pretty sure I still have his old ones in the trunk of my car, we forgot to grab that bag after we went to the park.'' She breaths out softly. ''Anything I need to keep an eye on?''
''Nothing.'' Santana glances down at her son and bites her lip. ''Well just keep an eye on his ears, he doesn't really know when to stop so whenever the tip of his ears turn red, it means that he is getting tired and that he should take a break.''
''Same signs I have whenever I am deadly tired.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''Anything else?''
''Please don't give him too much sugar, you will curse yourself out tomorrow night if he eats too much.'' Santana breaths out, she smiles slightly as Brittany just hums and pecks her lips. ''You really sure babe?''
''I am.'' Brittany breaths out with a grin, she cuddles closer trying to bite back a yawn and kisses her temple. ''It might happen that I will have the meeting with Sue tomorrow, depending on how long training takes, but I am sure he can sit in her office too and I can always hand him earphones and my phone so he can listen to music.''
Santana nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah that sounds perfect, thank you Britt-Britt.''
''No need to thank me San.'' She replies with a grin. ''I will love spending the whole day with him, will you come back here or do you want us to go to your house?''
''Here is fine.'' Santana breaths out. ''Marley and Kitty live a bit closer to your house, can Nic watch your training on Saturday too? We won't have to ask Liv to keep an eye on him until you finish training.''
''Yeah he can join, we will drive down to Marley and Kitty right after.''
Santana nods her head and sighs. ''I still have to grab a gift, anything they like?''
''Already taken care of.'' Brittany murmurs, she glances up at her as she feels her head turn and smiles slightly as Santana just raises an eyebrow. ''I bought a gift from the three of us, you just have to bring yourself babe.''
She reaches up covering Santana's mouth before she can protest and smiles slightly. ''Nu-uh no protesting.'' She whispers chuckling. ''You bought Amy a gift from the both of us and Nic, just last week San.''
''Shall I bring some toys for Nic?'' Santana asks softly deciding to swallow her protest down.
Brittany shakes her head and smiles. ''Marley has a few nephews that spend the night with them once a month, she has a toy chest so I am sure Nic finds something to play there.''
''Alright.'' Santana murmurs, she pulls the comforter up to their shoulders after Nicolas slid more towards Brittany, his back against her front and his head and arms still around her own midsection. ''It's time to go to bed babe, you look tired as fuck and it's.'' She glances at the time and chuckles. ''Midnight.''
''Oh and before I forget thank you for the beauty products and toothbrush.'' She breaths out kissing her softly.
''Anytime.'' Brittany just replies softly as she tightens her hold around Nicolas's waist, she tilts her head up to peck her lips and smiles. ''Good night babe.''
''Good night baby.''
