''Hey buddy.'' Brittany whispers softly walking into Nicolas's room after waiting for his voice telling her that she can come in, she walks over to his bed as she sees him hiding his face in his pillow and reaches out to turn the baby monitor on. ''Nic.'' She coos softly as she hears him sniffle. ''Talk to me, sweetheart.''
She grunts in pain as he suddenly turns around, crashing into her with force and shakes her head as tear filled blue orbs lock on her own. ''It's okay.'' She whispers softly as she carefully pulls her arm out of the sling, she pulls him close placing her injured hand on his back and pulls her legs up so he is trapped between her thighs and her front. ''Talk to me sweetheart.'' She repeats softly.
''I'm sorry.'' He whispers hiding his face against her shoulder. ''I didn't want to say that out loud, I just don't want to see you and mami fighting.''
She gently cups his cheek with her good hand and pulls back, she kisses his forehead as glistening blue orbs lock on her own and smiles slightly. ''I am not mad Nic, not at all.'' She breaths out, she gently taps his heart and locks eyes with him. ''Tell me what you are feeling, Nic.''
''Is mami mad?''
''I'm not mijo.'' Santana breaths out as she walks into the room knowing he needs to talk to the both of them, she smiles as two pairs of blue eyes lock on her own and crawls into the bed making sure she won't touch Brittany's injured arm after hearing her pain filled groan over the monitor. ''Talk to us, mi corazón.''
Nicolas leans against Brittany's front with his forearms and looks between them, he bites his lip and shrugs. ''I don't know what to say.''
''Say whatever you are thinking.'' Santana murmurs as she kisses his head.
''A mother is someone who loves a child no matter what and tries to help him with everything right?''
''Among other things, si.'' Santana agrees softly.
''You do all of that mami and I know you love me no matter what, but Britty does too.'' He continues softly. ''She also helps me with homework, bathing me, playing soccer with me and.'' He looks at Brittany and smiles cheekily. ''And scolding me.''
Brittany laughs softly and pokes his side. ''Thank god you are so well behaved, that we barely have to scold you.'' She breaths out.
''You do everything mami does too Britty.'' Nicolas whispers softly with a giggle, he leans his chin on her chest and bites her lip. ''And I know I have mi papi in heaven and mami who loves me so, so much, but I feel like you are my mother too and I know it's weird and that everyone has two parents but..''
''Mijo.'' Santana breaths out, gently cutting him off. ''You are right a child has two parents.'' She tells him softly. ''But there are some lucky children walking around the world who gain one or even two more loving adults, it doesn't happen often and sometimes some adults aren't that loving but some children do have luck on their sides and can enjoy three or four times more love.''
''So Britty is my mommy too?''
Brittany bites her lip her heart rate picking up as he turns to her with a cute grin and kisses his forehead. ''I am whatever you want me to be sweetheart.''
''Just don't start calling her bro.'' Santana pleads.
Nicolas burst into a fit of giggles and shakes his head knowing his mami dislikes that word and smiles shyly. ''No I think I like mommy.'' He whispers.
''I think I like that very much too.'' Brittany murmurs against his forehead, she hugs him close as he smiles brightly and nuzzles her nose in his dark locks. ''I love you sweetheart.''
''I love you too mommy.'' He murmurs giggling as she tickles him, she leans over his mami to kiss her cheek and smiles brightly. ''Te amo mami.''
''Te amo también, mi corazón.'' Santana breaths out kissing his forehead.
''Do you still love each other?'' He asks pouting. ''I don't like hearing you fight.''
''We weren't fighting mijo.'' Santana breaths out. ''It was a discussion, no fight.''
''Discussions happen in a relationship Nic.'' Brittany adds softly. ''But that doesn't mean that I stop loving your mami.'' She kisses his head as he hums and turns to Santana. ''How does a Disney night in onesies sound?''
Santana laughs as Nicolas immediately nods his head with a big grin and hums. ''Sounds perfect for today, let's change and pick out a movie.'' They both slide out of Nicolas's bed as he immediately jumps off of Brittany and shake their heads with a soft laugh as he dances over to his closet,
Brittany follows Santana out of his bedroom, down the hall to their bedroom and follows her inside frowning as her hand throbs. She blows out a breath walking into the bathroom as Santana walks to the closet and grabs the strong painkillers Liv prescribed her for a different injury, she pops two in her mouth swallowing them down with water and walks out of the room grumbling softly.
''Pain?'' Santana asks softly as she looks up after changing, Brittany hums slowly taking off her shirt, wincing as she graces the cast and sighs.
''The break itself doesn't hurt, but the bruises underneath it burn like hell.''
''How the hell did this happen?''
Brittany blows out a breath and shrugs. ''Washington targeted Chris the whole match so I told Sue to take her out and bring me in the last twenty minutes.'' She smiles gratefully as Santana walks over to help her out of her sweatpants and sighs. ''The second I entered the field, not one but all defenders started targeting me.''
''You are classified as the danger of the team.'' Santana breaths out as she crouches down in front of her to help her into the onesie.
''Yeah we noticed that far too late.'' Brittany grumbles. ''This.'' She holds up her hand. ''Happened because one of the defenders floored me after I scored and the goalie 'unintentionally' landed on my arm with her cleats.''
''Fuck.'' Santana breaths out wincing.
Brittany just hums as she slides her arms through the onesie and sighs. ''I will live.'' She breaths out, she cups Santana's cheek with her good hand after she watched her zipping the onesie up and tilts her head up. ''I know we will continue our conversation tonight, but I have to set one thing straight.'' She breaths out.
She curls her fingers around the hinge of her jaw, tugging her closer and locks eyes on glistening brown orbs as she feels her hands find her hips. ''Even if the queen of all lesbians would stand in front of me and try to flirt her way into my life, I will still ignore her and choose you over and over again Santana.'' She breaths out.
''I fell in love with you and the feelings I feel whenever you are around are one of a kind.'' She continues softly. ''I never felt like this around anyone else before and I am one hundred percent sure that I will never feel it around a stranger either, I love you and not some bitch trying to compare themselves with you and exclaiming to be better.''
''They what?''
Brittany bites her lip and sighs. ''They try to tell me that they are better than you are.'' She breaths out. ''If you had observed us just a few seconds longer, you would have witnessed that she ran off in anger right after I threw my water in her face babe.''
''I'm sorry.'' Santana breaths out. ''I never felt like this before and I have no fucking idea why I am suddenly so insecure.''
''Because you also compare yourself to other women, you think that a 'pro' lesbian.'' Brittany cracks a smile as Santana snickers and shrugs. ''You think that someone who had past relationships with a women, is someone I deserve more, you forget one thing though.''
''Well you deserve the best.'' Santana breaths out shrugging. ''What do I forget?''
''And I already have the best.'' Brittany murmurs. ''In my eyes the best.'' She adds as Santana frowns.
''Fuck San.'' She continues softly. ''I know there are a hell of a lot of doubts in a complete new relationship, but I think you forget that this my first real relationship too.'' She murmurs. ''Aside from that bitch in college who I did allow past my defenses, I didn't date anyone until I met you so if anyone has to be afraid to be a complete fuck up, it's me.''
''But you don't and will never fuck up.''
''And that is what I think of you too, shit San, I am not lying when I say that whatever you make me feel.'' She nods her head to the bed and bites her lip. ''Underneath the covers or so in general, is something I never felt or experienced before.''
''Hell I not only met the love of my life after moving here, but I now also have an adorable little boy who I can call my little boy.'' She breaths out. ''I suddenly lead a life I had never held for possible because people often jump back whenever they hear the four now five careers I have, but you support me no matter what and understand that it can be stressful sometimes.''
''Because my career is the same.'' Santana whispers softly.
''Exactly you understand me and that is exactly what I need babe.'' Brittany replies with a soft sigh. ''I don't want someone who knows her way around in the bedroom, which you do perfectly if you ask me.'' She chuckles as Santana blushes and kisses her forehead.
''What I want is someone who understands me, who loves me for who I am and at times also forces me to pull the brakes because I want to do too much and don't have enough time.'' She whispers against her warm skin. ''And you are that person Santana, you and Nic force me to take a step back and concentrate not only on my health but also on everything else that is important, you make me the happiest Santana.''
''God I feel like an idiot.'' Santana grumbles softly.
''You are.'' Brittany murmurs, she cups her cheek as she looks up at her with a frown and winks. ''But you are my idiot and no matter how often you will puke your guts out because of a decision you quickly regret, I will always be right beside you holding your hair back and to talk some sense into you as soon as you are sober enough.''
She laughs as she grimaces and gently tugs her closer. ''I love you Santana.''
''I love you too, Britt-Britt.'' Santana murmurs as she tilts her head up to kiss her softly. ''And I am really sorry.''
''It's okay love, ready to go downstairs and enjoy a lazy day in with our little boy?'' She tilts her head, stopping in her tracks and turns to Santana with a shy grin. ''Damn it feels amazing to finally say it out loud.''
''It feels even better hearing it.'' Santana breaths out as she intertwines their hands. ''How long will you stay awake?'' She asks chuckling as they jog down the stairs.
''I will be out like a light the second we cuddle.'' Brittany breaths out. ''But I don't mind, as long as I know the both of you are on the couch with me.''
Santana hums, chuckling as she sees Nicolas already spread out on the couch he pulled out and shakes her head as he looks up from the batman magazine he flipped through with a big grin. ''Well baby boy has the same thoughts.'' She muses, she ruffles his hair as he pats the spot beside him for them and gently pushes Brittany down. ''Juice or lemonade and chips or popcorn?'' She asks walking into the kitchen.
''Lemonade and chips please!''
She laughs grabbing the pitcher of lemonade as she hears the both of them reply in unison and walks back into the living room after grabbing a bag of chips and three glasses, she places them on the table, sitting down beside her son and kisses his head as he points at the Disney movie he wants to watch.
She nods her head pouring the three of them a drink and leans back after dropping the bag of chips in his lap, she kisses his temple as he cuddles close, thanking her softly and turns to Brittany. ''C'mere mi amor.''
She lifts her arm smiling as she immediately slides closer to cuddle with them and kisses the top of her head as Nicolas crawls on her lap to cuddle with the both of them, she places her hand gently on Brittany's cast as she feels the rough texture against the naked skin of her side and smiles lovingly as she hears her soft tired hum.
She leans her head back knowing she won't be awake for long either with the throbbing headache she woke up with and curls her free arm around her son as he cuddles against the both of them, she kisses his head knowing he won't move from his spot and that they can nap peacefully for a few hours while a few Disney movies distract him and turns her head to nuzzle her nose in Brittany's soft blonde locks as she feels her relax against her. ''Te amo, mi familia.'' She husks out softly.
''We love you too mami.'' Nicolas replies just as softly as he places his hands on their intertwined hands, he smiles as he feels Brittany just tiredly kiss his temple as he leans his head back against his mami's shoulder and hums contently as he feels their intertwined hands on his stomach.
