''Nic!'' Brittany breaths out dropping to her knees beside Nicolas as he rolls around on the grass clutching his ankle, she carefully tugs him against her front as he whispers her name through heartbreaking sobs and looks up as Kelly sits down in front of her.
''Take his shoe off.'' She tells her softly as she runs her hand over Nicolas's back, she shushes Nicolas softly as he cries loudly the second Kelly tries to touch his foot and looks down at him. ''Shall I do it?'' She asks the both of them.
She covertly kisses Nicolas's head making sure no one sees it as Kelly turns around to grab something out of her bag, the second he nods his head and slides around gently grabbing his injured leg.
She places his leg in her lap gently running her left thumb over his leg to soothe him and takes off his shoe, she winces as she sees the blooming bruise and sighs. ''Kell's give me the bandages and a cooling wrap please.'' She turns to the dugout and holds up her hands signaling an exchange. ''You won't continue Nic.''
''But…''
''You sprained your ankle buddy.'' She tells him softly. ''We are leading with two goals made by you and only ten more minutes left, the team can handle it without you okay?''
She takes the cooling wrap from Kelly as she holds it out and wraps it around Nicolas's ankle still running her left thumb over his leg, she takes the bandage rolls she holds out for her and quickly but expertly wraps his foot.
''Okay?'' She asks softly after checking that it's not too tight, she hands Kelly his shoe as he nods his head the tear tracks still clear on his face and shakes her head as he tries to stand up. ''Don't put weight on your foot.'' She advises.
She stands up after handing Kelly everything she used, nodding her head as the referee taps his watch and looks down at Nicolas. ''Keep your leg up and try to not touch anything okay?''
She crouches down carefully picking him up and smiles as she feels his good leg wrap around her hip. ''You will shower at home.'' She tells him softly. ''We will leave right after the match so you can relax and elevate your leg.''
''Okay Britty.'' He murmurs softly as he nuzzles his face against her shoulder, she turns to Kelly as they jog off of the field and sighs.
''Can you tell his family please?'' She adjusts her hold on Nicolas as he tightens his hold around her shoulder knowing he doesn't want to sit in the dugouts and locks eyes with Beiste, she shoots her a thankful grin as she just nods her head silently allowing her to keep a hold on him and taps his hip. ''Looks like you will coach with me.''
She locks eyes with her girlfriend and shoots her a reassuring wink, silently telling her that he will be fine. ''Think you manage a monkey?'' She takes off her jacket as he hums feeling the leg around her waist tense the second she let's go off him and quickly slides her arm out of the sleeve, she wraps it around Nicolas making sure to cover his leg too and looks at opponent side of the field as the referee whistles.
''Diego!'' She calls out after covering Nicolas's ear feeling his other ear press against her shoulder, she crouches down as the striker that replaced Nicolas sprints over as the angels get ready for a corner kick after one of the defenders touched the ball last and locks eyes with the little boy.
''Stay out of the box, the whole opponent team is inside.'' She advises.
''Tell Michael to pass the ball to you.'' Nicolas adds looking at his friend with a grin. ''As soon as you have the ball, kick it to the right corner with lot's of strength.
''Okay.'' The boy replies cutely, she stands back up as he turns on his heels to sprint over to his teammates and wraps both of her arms around Nicolas not noticing Beiste and Santana both snapping pictures of her.
''Nice advice buddy.'' Brittany compliments as they both watch Michael pass the ball to Diego, she smiles as a midfielder pushes the ball over the lines causing another corner kick for them and nods her head as Diego turns to her.
She watches the kick once again grinning as nobody manages to touch the ball this time and high fives Nicolas as the parents around them cheer loudly right after Diego scored, she crouches down as he sprints over to them making sure to protect Nicolas's injured foot and hugs Diego as he slides against her free side.
''Amazing kick Diego.'' She compliments as Nicolas high fives his friend. ''Try to keep them away from our goal now, the match is almost over.''
She high fives the team together with Nicolas as Diego nods his head and stands back up once again, she looks down at Nicolas after Little York kicked off and smiles as he watches his team with a big grin. ''We just entered the finals Nic.''
''The little and big Angels both will grab the trophy!'' Nicolas tells her confidently. ''You made this team so much better Britty!''
''You did.'' She corrects. ''You show true captain moral buddy.''
''Just like you.'' He whispers with a grin, Brittany chuckles knowing he loves to know that she got called third captain of her team after the tournament and taps his nose as the referee blows his whistle twice signaling the end of the match.
''Shoulders?'' She asks him as the whole team sprints over to her, she lifts him up as he quickly nods his head smiling as he tenses his injured leg to make sure he keeps it elevated and crouches down as soon as she feels his arms wrap around her head.
''Amazing job little angels!'' She compliments as they all surround her in a hug, Nicolas's leg easily hovering above everyone thanks to her height. ''All of you showed that you really wanted to enter the finals, I saw some amazing tackles from our defenders, some fast sprints and amazing high passes from our midfielder and three amazing goals scored by our strikers.'' She continues as they all quiet down to listen to her.
''We reached the finals because all of you fought hard and played amazingly!'' She adds, she smiles as they all cheer and hugs each kid. ''Go celebrate with your parents and enjoy dinner with coach Beiste and Kelly! We will see each other during training!''
''Thank you Britty!'' All the kids reply as they hug her tightly, she watches them run off with big smiles after they all high fived Nicolas still seated on her shoulders and reaches up carefully plucking him off of her shoulders again.
''We are celebrating at home with the family and we will eat your favorite dinner.'' She tells him as she places him on her hip, she chuckles as he smiles brightly and walks over to the dugout so Beiste and Kelly can congratulate him too.
''Are we eating lasagna?'' He asks cutely as Brittany grabs her things right after his coach and Kelly walked off to celebrate with the team.
''Yes I prepared it this morning so we only need to shove it in the oven, one of the group can do it while your mami bathes you and I wrapped your ankle again.'' Brittany murmurs against his forehead after kissing it, she walks over to the group after making sure she grabbed everything and places him in Santana's arms after pecking her lips.
''Nice coaching, coach B.'' Puck breaths out grinning as he hugs her tightly, he turns to Nicolas and holds his fist out with a wink. ''And nice playing striker Lopez.''
''Thank you Tio P.'' Nicolas giggles out as he fist bumps him.
''How is your ankle, baby boy?'' Santana whispers as she gently runs her thumb over the bandage.
''It hurts.'' Nicolas pouts out. ''But the pain got less after Britty wrapped it.''
''I will apply a clean and better bandage after he showered.'' Brittany breaths out as everyone turns to her. ''It's only a light sprain, so after a few days of rest he can run and jump around again.''
''So I can play the finals?'' He asks smiling brightly, she nods her head as they walk off of the field to the parking lot and reaches over Santana to ruffle his hair.
''You sure can, but we will still go with the plan we have.''
''Plan?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised as they all stand near her dads van, she climbs in first with Maria, Abi and Quinn to buckle the kids in and turns to her girlfriend.
''Nic will be our second half weapon, it allows him to rest his ankle a bit more but we planned it before to surprise our opponents.''
''Against who are we playing Britty?''
''Uh.'' Brittany takes out her phone after climbing into the van to sit beside Santana knowing Michael, Maria, Puck and Quinn will drive separately and opens the Angels tournament app she saved to her phone. ''Oh this is gonna be fun.'' She laughs out. ''We are playing against Orlando.''
''Fun?'' Nicolas asks giggling.
''Their coach is someone who saw me as their rival even though we played on the same team.'' She tells him in amusement. ''I am pretty sure she still sees me as a rival so yes this is gonna be fun.''
Nicolas giggles and shrugs. ''She will see that you are the better player and striker Britty.''
''She doesn't play so I already won that part.'' Brittany muses. ''She only trains the little Pride's because nobody drafted her.''
''Some bad blood during your college time?'' Maribel asks as she turns in her seat to look at her.
''Yeah you could call it that, I will explain later when no little ears are near.'' She turns to Santana as Maribel turns back in her seat with a hum and kisses her head as she leans it on her shoulder listening to her conversation with Abi and Liv.
''Britty?''
She turns to Nicolas and smiles grabbing his hand as he holds it out for her. ''Yes Nic?''
''When can I train again?''
''Maybe in two or three days, we will keep an eye on your ankle and if it still hurts we will train privately.'' She replies. ''If it hurts badly, just say it to me or your mami okay?''
''I will.'' He promises. ''But I can play in three weeks and you will join?''
Brittany nods her head knowing the finals got postponed and find place on a day she has training and smiles. ''Yes the team and I have an own match in Orlando that weekend and both matches find place on fields close to each other so right after my match I will sprint over and hopefully we are done before kick off.''
''Will the big Angels watch the match too?!''
She laughs hearing the excitement in his voice and nods her head. ''Everyone will be there Nic, we have to support our future team.'' She tells him with a wink. ''Careful with your foot buddy.'' She reminds him as he dances in his seat with a big grin, she squeezes Santana's hand in her hold softly as she hears her soft snicker and turns to look at her. ''He is just like you.'' She tells her in amusement. ''Your ribs took longer to heal too because you started to do things too early.''
''Not true.'' Santana breaths out, she blushes as her mother, sister and Liv turn in their seat to look at her with an eyebrow raised, sliding down her seat with a soft grumble as her dad also looks in the rear view mirror and crosses her arms. ''They didn't hurt anymore.'' She whines.
Brittany laughs as everyone just shake their heads and kisses the top of Santana's head as she grumbles. ''Stop whining babe.'' She tells her in amusement, she snickers as she turns to her with a glare and winks. ''Ready to help Nic bathe and enjoy dinner?'' She asks as Emilio parks his car in front of her house, she jumps out of the car as she hums softly and picks Nic up as he reaches for her.
''Shall we order dinner?'' Maribel asks as they walk into the house smiling as she hears the music already blasting out of the backyard knowing Puck was a bit faster as they were.
Brittany shakes her head and smiles. ''I already prepared everything, we only need to shove it in the oven.'' She breaths out. ''Could you do that?'' She asks biting her lip. ''I don't think any of us want to chew on coal, so I don't want the girls or Puck touching it.''
''Hey!''
She ducks with a laugh as three hands try to slap her and tightens her hold around Nicolas making sure she won't hurt his foot. ''Hey precious cargo!'' She warns. ''Don't hit me.''
Maribel smiles lovingly as she notices her youngest love struck grin and nods her head. ''I will, which one can I use top or bottom oven?''
''B would say top, but she sure means bottom.'' Liv breaths out snickering, Santana covers her mouth giggling as she notices Brittany just turn to Liv with an eyebrow raised and shakes her head taking Nic out of her arms.
''Let's take a bath before Britty and Tia Liv turn into the clowns we know they are.''
''Tia Liv is.'' Nicolas agrees giggling. ''Britty is just crazy.''
''Ha!'' Brittany exclaims laughing. ''You are the only one with that ugly ass red nose Liv.'' She turns on her heels sprinting after Santana up the stairs as everyone burst out laughing while Liv just looks at her with a frown and stops halfway up, she locks eyes with her and winks. ''Love ya Pennywise.''
Santana burst out laughing as Brittany sprints past her with a yelp as Liv thunders up the stairs, the sound of her family's loud laughter reaching her at the top of the stairs and shakes her head as Nicolas hides his face against her shoulder giggling loudly. ''I think they are both clowns.'' She tells him softly as she watches Liv chasing Brittany.
''Si.'' Nicolas laughs out. ''They crazy.''
''And you love it.'' Liv tells him breathing harshly as she kisses the top of his head, she throws her hand out smirking as she hears Brittany's groan the second she strikes her abs and shoots her a glare. ''I will show you Pennywise.'' She promises. ''I am not the one hating horror movies.''
''I see one every day we hang out.'' Brittany muses, she laughs jumping back as she tries to hit her again and winks. ''You know I love ya Liv.''
''Yeah, yeah I love you too idiot.''
''The both of you want some time alone?'' Santana asks in amusement as they follow her into the guest room that gradually changes into Nicolas's room, she laughs as they turn to her in disgust and winks. ''I will quickly bathe baby boy, please don't kill each other the second you are alone.''
''We won't.'' Brittany promises chuckling, she turns to Liv as Santana walks into the bathroom after pecking her lips and bites her lip. ''Can we talk?''
''Do I need to kick your ass or not?'' Liv just asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Not about my relationship with San.'' Brittany breaths out with a sigh. ''Whenever I ask if we can talk, it's not always bad asshole.''
Liv chuckles as they both sit down on the bed and turns her head to look at her. ''What's up?''
Brittany takes out her phone pulling up the website where she wants to order things for the room they are now sitting it and holds it out for Liv so she can look at it, she bites her lip as her eyebrows raise in surprise the second she takes the phone, scrolling down the list and gulps thickly. ''Do you think he will like it?''
''For his room?''
''For this room.'' Brittany breaths out. ''This one already slowly transforms into his room, clothes fill the closet and toys scatter around even when he is not here.'' She tells her. ''I want him to feel home and have a room where he can pull back here too, so I thought why not change it completely and make it his room officially.''
''It will look awesome and he will absolutely love it.'' Liv tells her as she holds the phone out for her to take. ''San will love you even more the second she walks in here too, when do you want to do it?''
''Next weekend I will order everything tonight and place the packages in the guest room next to this one, San has to be on set and Nic will enjoy a weekend with Maribel and Emilio so I will have the time.''
''You need help?'' Liv asks with a grin. ''Abi is on set with San and Soph wants to spend the weekend with her grandparents too, I only have a night shift on Friday but I can come over Saturday morning instead of driving home and crash here.''
''That would be awesome, Puck will also help out and we want to watch the Manchester game later that night.''
''Count me in.'' Liv breaths out with a grin, she stands up as she hears Nicolas giggle and pats her leg. ''San is currently rubbing her hands over a towel to dry his hair.'' She tells her in amusement as she notices her loving grin. ''He absolutely loves that, I will head back downstairs.''
Brittany nods her head dropping down on her back as Liv walks out of the room and looks up at the ceiling smiling as she hears Nicolas's giggles filter through the door. ''Mami, look Britty is as old as you she needs a nap too.''
She laughs hearing Nicolas's amused voice and leans up on her elbows to look at him with and eyebrow raised. ''You really want to call me and your mami old now that you can't run away?'' She asks him in amusement.
Santana laughs as his eyes widen and drops him in Brittany's lap, they both immediately start tickling him, locking eyes as his loud laughter bounces off of the walls around them and looks down at him. ''Who is old?''
''You!'' He laughs out. ''Nooooo!'' He squirms in their hold his body shaking with laughter as Brittany blows a raspberry on his cheek and shakes his head.
''You give?'' Brittany asks chuckling as she holds his injured leg so he won't hurt himself.
''I give!'' He squeals out giggling. ''I give!''
Santana chuckles immediately stilling her hands and kisses his forehead. ''Never call us old mijo, we can still tickle you until you need a nap.''
''Or chase you.'' Brittany adds snickering as she taps his stomach, she kisses his temple as he relaxes on top of her breathing fast and locks eyes with her girlfriend. ''But we will keep the chasing for when your foot is healed, how does it feel?''
''It hurts when I move it.'' Nicolas whispers. ''But when I keep it still, it doesn't bother me.''
''Don't move it for the next two or three days, just allow it to rest.'' Brittany advises as she stands up with him in his hold, let's wrap it up again and enjoy our dinner.
''Lasagna!'' He squeaks, she shakes her head and laughs.
''Yep you sure do love food more than people, just like your mami.''
''Hey don't pull me into this.'' Santana whines as she follows them into the bathroom attached to the master bedroom.
Brittany turns to her with an eyebrow raised after placing Nicolas on the toilet and snickers. ''And who will storm over to the breadsticks the second we enter the backyard?''
''Breadsticks?''
She laughs as her eyes widen and turns to Nicolas. ''Your mami is crazy.'' She tells him, she snickers as she hears Santana scoff and grabs the bandages and cooling gel. ''You just can't deny it love.''
''Be quiet Britt-Britt.''
Nicolas giggles as his mami crosses her arms with a pout and shakes his head. ''Mami looks like a child.''
Brittany laughs glancing in the mirror so she can see her girlfriend while keepin a gentle hold on Nicolas foot and shoots her a wink as they lock eyes. ''She does.'' She agrees. ''But she is still cute.''
''Not cute, badass.'' Santana grumbles.
''Right.'' Brittany drawls out snickering as she turns back to look down at Nicolas's foot. ''You are as badass as a Beth wearing her bunny onesie love.''
She smiles as Nicolas burst into a fit of giggles and glances in the mirror snickering as she sees Santana's pout, she turns her focus back on Nicolas's foot and shakes her head. ''That pout doesn't make it better San.''
''Cállate, Britt-Britt.''
''Oh Spanish.'' Nicolas sings songs giggling, Brittany glances up at him and winks.
''Your mami just told me to be quiet.'' She tells him in a stage whisper. ''But she is the one that talks the most.''
''Jodete, mi amor.'' Santana laughs out as Nicolas just covers his mouth to silence his giggles. ''You want me to be quiet?''
Brittany's eyes widen as Santana turns on her heels before she can reply and turns to Nicolas. ''Be right back, can you please stay here?'' She jumps up as he nods his head giggling and jogs into the bedroom. ''Oh no, no, no.'' She breaths out snickering as she grabs Santana's arm. ''You told me to shut up love, I just replied.'' She defends.
She bites her lip as Santana turns around her face void of any emotions and groans. ''I hate that you can hide your emotions.''
''Perks of being an actress.'' Santana breaths out shrugging, her voice also void from any emotions.
Brittany rolls her eyes seeing the teasing spark in her eyes and cups her cheeks with both hands, she yanks her closer smirking as she feels her grab her hips with a soft yelp as she loses her footing for a short moment and dips her head to kiss her softly.
She smiles into the kiss as she feels her arms immediately wrap tightly around her waist and swallows the soft hum escaping Santana's lips, she slowly pulls back before they deepen the kiss knowing Nicolas is still in the bathroom and watches brown orbs slowly flutter open. ''I love you.''
''You are mean.'' Santana breaths out the grin on her face preventing her to frown, she shakes her head as Brittany just raises an eyebrow and fake grumbles. ''You know that I don't ignore an I love you, especially not coming from Nic or from you.'' She rolls her eyes as Brittany just smirks and tilts her head up to peck her lips. ''I love you too, but you are still an ass.''
''Yeah.'' Brittany whispers with a soft chuckle. ''But you are dating this ass.''
Santana laughs as Brittany turns on her heels to walk back into the bathroom, putting an extra swing in her hips and runs her eyes down her back side.'' Yes, yes I am.'' She whispers as she follows her, she smiles as Brittany just looks over her shoulder to shoot her a wink and shakes her head as she crouches back down in front of Nicolas.
''I will make some drinks for all of us.'' She breaths out knowing Brittany, her dad and Liv all know how to treat an injured ankle. ''What do the both of you want to drink?''
''Can I have a coconut delight?'' Nicolas asks cutely.
''I still have half a bottle of that in the fridge.'' Brittany breaths out as she hears Santana hum, she turns her head to look at her and winks. ''And I still have a bottle of colada too.''
''You want one too?'' Santana walks over kissing her sons forehead as Brittany nods her head and leans down to peck her lips. ''Alright I will help mami set the table.'' She turns on her heels as Brittany tells her that she is almost done and jogs down the stairs humming as the smell of food hits her nose.
