''What do you want?''
''Can't we visit our only daughter?''
''Well if you want to say it like this, your only daughter passed away eight years ago.'' Brittany breaths out. ''As far as I know my parents were assholes and I don't need them in my life after they yanked me away from the two most important people in my life.''
''You act like we never gave you anything.'' Susan sneers.
''That is not what I said.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging. ''But you think you can make everything better with money and that is not what raising a child is all about.'' She smirks as they just shoot her a glare and shrugs. ''Besides after all the shit you said about my little sister, I would gladly ask god for a trade, the both of you for her.''
''That is not how you talk about your parents.''
''No but you talk about your daughter like that?'' Puck asks crossing his arms.
''You stay out of this!'' Brett sneers. ''You have nothing to say about our family matters.''
''That is where you are wrong though.'' Maribel replies with the same tone. ''Britt belongs to our.'' She mentions her hand around the big group surrounding them. ''Family, so her matters are ours.''
Brittany whistles lowly as she notices her mothers eyes darken and locks eyes with her, her eyes flashing. ''Watch it.'' She warns darkly.
''You are still a Pierce.'' Susan sneers.
''Yeah but that is the only thing that connects her to the both of you, and she can change that as soon as the timing is right.'' Abi points out shrugging.
''We try out best to make sure her last name isn't known though.'' Santana points out smirking. ''To the world she is known as Brittany and the soccer world knows her as Phoenix even the commentators started to call her phoenix.''
''And you all really think just because her last name isn't known, people won't notice she is a Pierce?'' Brett asks laughing.
''Nah but they will only know one person she is related to and that is Emily, we all gladly ignore your existence.'' Emilio fires back, he tugs Brittany back knowing Santana will follow and steps in front of her with Maribel, Sue and Holly beside him. ''Now I would appreciate you leaving people belonging to our family alone, she left the Netherlands for a reason and worked hard for her own success.''
''We won't allow you to ruin it.'' Sue adds crossing her arms with a fierce glare. ''She came this far without the both of you and she will kick it even further.''
''She didn't need you while she grew up, she only stayed around for her little sister.'' Maribel continues. ''She never needed you and she will never need you because whenever she needs parental advice the four of us will jump up and we have four others who will immediately help her out too.''
''You are not her parents though.''
''No they are better because they care and don't give me money just so I can buy whatever I want.'' Britt any breaths out. ''I didn't need a fucking dime if I had loving parents.''
''You wouldn't be able to buy all of this without our money.'' Brett sneers.
''That is where you are wrong.'' She breaths out. ''If you want the money you gave me back, I can write you a check immediately because I never touched it. This.'' She mentions her hand around the restaurant. ''Is what I bought with the money I inherited, so if anything I have to thank my grandparents for being the loving adults they were.''
''Now I earn my own money and still have close to half what I inherited put away for things I need, for things that make me happy, your money is on a part of my account to never touch and if I touch it, it's not used for myself but for someone who still called you mom and dad even though you were assholes.''
''Well better write out that check, because the other part won't exist for long.'' Brett tells her with a sickeningly sweet grin.
''Yeah that is why we are in the USA, you didn't know that?'' Susan asks smirking.
''What do you mean?'' Brittany asks, silently cursing herself because her voice cracks.
''Oh we are here to cancel the lease, which means they will clean it out.'' Susan breaths out shrugging. ''We are never here and we can use the money for something way better, we don't need to pay for a grave, we one never visit and two never cared about.''
Santana quickly holds Brittany back as she tries to rush forward with a growl and tugs her back. ''Don't mi amor.'' She pleads softly, she frowns in confusion as her mami walks off after whispering something to Emilio and shakes her head as she feels her struggle in her hold. ''Nic and the girls are just behind one closed door.'' She whispers softly.
''Write the lease over to me.'' Brittany forces out. ''I will pay and care for it.''
''And why would we leave our dearest daughter with that big of a worry and time consuming job?''
''Bitch like she didn't worry about her little sister while you and your fucking husband left the country, you left her the fuck alone with a sick six year old and she didn't even hesitate and just threw her own young life around to make sure Em had the time of her life!'' Puck sneers his eyes darkening with rage.
''I told you to stay out of this!'' Brett sneers, Brittany drops Santana's hand, sliding in front of Puck as Brett rushes forward and harshly pushes him back, not noticing the strength she used.
''Stay the fuck away from him.'' She growls darkly as he crashes over one of the table in the middle of the room.
''Hell no you won't.'' Santana sneers kicking her leg out as Susan tries to reach Brittany, she pulls her girlfriend into her as Susan stumbles over her foot and watches her crash against the table.
''Mija, Britt, don't.'' Emilio breaths out pulling them further back, he shakes his head as darkened brown and blue orbs lock on his own and kisses their foreheads. ''We will make sure nothing happens, but don't make them call the police on the both of you por favor.''
''What do you mean papi?'' Santana asks in confusion.
''Just wait.'' Emilio murmurs kissing both of their foreheads, he turns on his heels as he hears a double growl and crosses his arms in front of his chest still standing in front of his daughter and in his eyes his future daughter in law. ''The both of you made one mistake.'' He tells them with a slight smirk.
''Oh yeah, and that is?'' Susan asks cockily.
''You messed with the wrong family bitch.'' Maribel breaths out with a harsh glare as she walks back over to her family, she locks eyes with Brittany and winks.
''You can go and visit Emily whenever you want sweetheart.'' She turns back to the duo standing in front of them and crosses her arms. ''The both of you don't have to fly down to Ohio or whatever the fuck you planned, as of today you are banned to set one fucking foot near the cemetery.''
''Smile.'' Abi breaths out holding up her dad's phone, she quickly snaps a picture of them and smirks. ''Now they also have recent pictures, try nearing her grave now.''
Santana glances at her girlfriend, squeezing her hand softly as she watches the emotion play on her face and turns back to her parents as she hears someone clear their throat.
''That's not possible, we are her parents!''
''Oh? Now you suddenly are?'' Sue asks with an eyebrow raised. ''Too fucking bad, everyone knows that only two people gave a damn about that little girl and now they have access to the grave whenever they want.''
''If one of you nears it, I will make sure the police will personally escort you off of the grounds and give you a nice piece of paper to pay.'' Emilio promises.
''Like no names can call somewhere and convince them to take one grave that a former big name in a small town pays for.''
''Well no, no names.'' Maribel breaths out with a smirk. ''But someone with the maiden name Garcia could.''
''G-Garcia?'' Brett stutters, Maribel just fakes a kind grin and waves her fingers.
''Youngest one of the Garcia family, I would say nice to meet you, but that would be a lie.''
Santana covers her mouth to silence her laugh as she watches the color drain from their faces and squeezes her girlfriends hand softly, Brittany just smirks knowing that Maribel's parents were some really big names in the States and shrugs as her parents turn to her in shock. ''Don't look at me, I am just insanely thankful that they thought quick and allow me to still visit that one place where I can feel close to my little sister.''
''I would think your next action through, one phone call and this room will be swarmed by cops.'' Holly promises. ''Just think of all the tabloids writing about it after receiving the pictures from the paparazzi outside.''
''Unknown couple tries to attack actress and soccer player of the USA team.'' Sue breaths out chuckling. ''You will be hated by so many people.''
''Say what now?'' Brittany breaths out turning to her coach in surprise, Sue turns to her and smirks.
''Why the hell do you think Holly and I picked your restaurant for lunch Phoenix? I knew you would be here.''
''Holy shit babe!'' Santana exclaims with a big proud grin.
''Phoenix!''
Brittany laughs stumbling forward as everyone suddenly tackles her in a hug and locks eyes with Sue. ''Are you serious right now?''
Sue nods her head walking over to her and hugs her tightly. ''Sure am, you didn't just make me proud as hell during the tournament Phoenix, the national team coach was very impressed too.''
Brittany smiles enjoying the group embrace she is pulled in, leaning back in Santana's hold and locks eyes with her parents. ''And this is what a family is.'' She tells them. ''The amount of money someone receives means nothing in the end, but the love, support and joy you feel and also give the people you love that is what matters in the end.''
''Yes the both of you gave birth to me and I am thankful god gave me the chance to live my life, but people who are not blood related to me, show me the real reason why life is so fun.'' She mentions her hand around her and smiles as Maribel and Emilio kiss her temple.
''This is my family, I would walk through fire for every single people surrounding me and four more who couldn't make it today.'' She places her hand on Puck's shoulder knowing he won't stray from her side now and shrugs. ''He might not be my real brother but to me he is closer to being my family than any of you could ever be, he struggled through the care of Emily with me and that for six years.''
''He gave up whatever went on in his own life to stand by my side through thick and thin, the both of you had the fucking audacity to pull me out of the comfort of my own fucking life to act like a picture perfect family not realizing that I was so close to taking my own life because I lost the two most important people in a matter of two days.''
''I am glad I didn't do it and managed to fight those thoughts though because this.'' She mentions her hand around her. ''Is exactly what I need and worked hard for, I am insanely happy right now and I won't allow your visit to ruin the cloud I am jumping on right now.''
''The both of you gave me life but also ruined it, he entered my life and brightened it, losing him was aside from losing Em one of the worst feelings I ever felt in my life.'' She continues as she keeps her hand on Puck's shoulder. '
'Now I not only found my brother but also my forever in everyone surrounding me, I found some lifelong best friends, a family that cares for me like I am their own but most importantly of all, I have my own family and I will give my best to not end like the both of you and show all the kids that are in my life right now and will still enter my life that they are worth more than every dime I own.''
''Money isn't everything.'' She breaths out. ''The memory of someone giving them a few hundred bucks each week will stay for a while, but the love, support and care they receive will be in their mind for a lifetime.''
''And with that being said.'' Jay breaths out walking up to them, having stayed around after Marley and Kitty told him what is going on. ''Gregg and Jason will escort you out, I hope they aren't to rough.''
''I hope they are.'' Kitty breaths out as she also walks over. ''Throw them out guys.''
''And blacklist them forever Steph.'' Marley adds also joining them, she turns to Abi and winks. ''Please send us the nice picture you snapped, we will hang it on the will be forever burned wall.''
Brittany blows out a breath as Gregg and Jason both grab onto her parents arms and drops her head as the stress and anger that consumed her body drops the second the back door slams closed, Santana quickly wraps an arm around her waist as she feels her legs buckle and holds her up. ''It's over mi amor.'' She whispers softly.
''Let's get out of here.'' Puck just breaths out knowing his best friend needs a moment for herself.
''B's house?'' Abi just asks, she steps forward as he nods his head and reaches into the back pocket of her sisters jeans. ''Go grab the kids mi amor, I will drive San's car.''
''We will take the kids.'' Maribel tells them softly. ''Get her home.''
Santana hums keeping her arm wrapped around Brittany's waist and leads her through the side entrance after promising Sue that Brittany will text her as soon as she calmed down, she smiles as her sister pulls up a few seconds after and helps her in the car.
''We will drive with you Abi.'' Quinn breaths out as she slides into the car leaving the seat beside Brittany free for Puck.
''It's over sis.'' Puck just whispers as he wraps an arm around Brittany's shoulder, he kisses the top of her head as she just leans back still trying to calm down her heart rate and shoots Santana a reassuring grin as she keeps her eye on Brittany. ''Cuddle with her as soon as we are home, she just needs to calm down and get rid of the pent up anger.'' He tells her softly.
Santana nods her head keeping a strong hold on Brittany's hand and leans back in her seat knowing they all don't feel like talking, she runs her thumb over the back of Brittany's hand as she feels it squeeze it and just squeezes it back knowing it's a silent thank you.
She throws her car door open after a few minutes after Abi parked her car and follows Brittany into the house as she walks past them, she watches her drop on the couch and turns to the four that followed them. She smiles thankfully as Puck just shoots her a wink, following the girls into the kitchen and walks over to the couch after kicking off her shoes.
She lays down behind Brittany between the back of the couch and her body and wraps her arms around her waist, she pulls back as she feels her trying to turn and raises an eyebrow as dull blue orbs lock on her own.
She cups her cheek as she tries to hide her face in her chest and gently tilts her head up, she smiles as she feels her soft hum the second she dips her head to kiss her softly and slowly pulls back running her thumb over her cheekbone. ''Te amo.'' She whispers softly voice filled with love.
''I love you too.'' Brittany just whispers softly, Santana kisses the top of her head as she slides down to nuzzle her face in her chest knowing she loves this position whenever she had a bad day, she cups the back of her neck as she feels her arms wrap around her waist and glances at the entrance as she hears the front door open.
She smiles lovingly as Nicolas peaks his head in and just nods her head as he takes a small step forward, she chuckles as he sprints over immediately and unwraps one of her arms from around Brittany's waist to help him climb up.
She smiles as Brittany just scoots back a bit so he can lay in between them and grunts as the three girls take a running jump on top of them, she chuckles as she hears Brittany's soft sweet laugh and leans back as she turns on her back to face the kids.
''Britty, Abuela told us you have very good news that would make us really proud.'' Sophia gushes.
''Prouder than we are now after you received that award.'' Nicolas breaths out in agreement.
''What happened?'' Amy and Beth ask cutely.
''Tell them B!''
Brittany laughs as she hears the group yell and turns to the kids with a slight grin. ''Well Sue my coach was at the restaurant too and she had some amazing news.''
''What?''
She smiles lovingly as they all turn to her with big smiles and runs a hand through her hair. ''The coach of the National team contacted her and would love to have me join her team.''
She grunts as they all suddenly jump on top of her with loud squeals and laughs loudly. ''Careful you clowns.'' She breaths out as she tries to prevent them from falling off of the couch, Santana just watches them, glancing over at her mami and nods her head.
Maribel just winks knowing the kids would pull Brittany out of her mood quicker than any of them can and clears her throat. ''Food or nap?'' She asks.
''Food, while we nap?'' Brittany asks with a cute grin as the kids cuddle into her, Santana snickers kissing her temple and nods her head.
''We will prepare something, take a nap mi amor.'' She kisses the kids heads and winks. ''All of you too.''
Brittany snickers as the girls all take Santana's spot as soon as she climbed over the couch and wraps her arm around Beth as she crawls up to nuzzle her face against her shoulder, she kisses the top of Nicolas's head as he settles down on top of her and takes a hold on Sophia's and Amy's hand she feels on her abs.
''Te amo Britty.'' Nicolas murmurs as he nuzzles his face in her chest.
''Mh love you Tia B.'' The three little girls whisper.
''I love the four of you too.'' She murmurs as she pulls them closer not noticing the group just watching them with loving smiles, she nuzzles her nose in Nicolas's dark locks and closes her eyes allowing their warmth and calm presence to sooth her mood completely.
