Two months later

''Nic, inside!''

Santana crosses her arms as she hears Brittany holler, biting her lip as she watches her son cut inside dribbling the ball and drops her head as the goalkeeper comes out of his goal, hitting the ball beside his own goal.

''Damn this game is pissing the both of them off.'' Anna whispers as they both stand back watching Nicolas hit the grass in anger and Brittany just rub her face the tenseness in her body clear.

Santana hums in agreement and sighs. ''This is the last playoff match, today's win will assure their spot in the tournament.'' She turns her head as she hears Jay squeak and chuckles nudging Anna softly as she notices Snow looking at them in surprise. ''Your wife and son noticed us.''

She smiles as Anna crouches down immediately as Jay rushes over and quickly hugs Brittany as she joins them. ''What are the both of you doing here?'' Brittany asks happily as she hugs her fiance tightly.

''Recording is over, we thought it would be nice to surprise you.'' Anna murmurs with a grin as she kisses her temple, Santana picks Jay up as he tugs on her shirt and taps his nose.

''Hey buddy.''

''Hi auntie San.'' Jay breaths out cutely. ''We missed you.''

''We missed all of you too.'' She murmurs kissing his forehead, she turns back to the field as she hears her family start chanting Nicolas's name and places Jay in Anna's arms as she watches Hunter take the corner kick.

She cheers as Nicolas scores with a beautiful volley and cups her hands over her mouth. ''Way to go mijo!''

''Mami!'' She laughs as he rushes over completely ignoring her teammates the second he spots her and stumbles back as he crashes into her, she crouches down to hug him properly, ignoring his sweat smudging her make up and kisses his forehead.

''Nice goal, mi corazón.'' She compliments softly.

She smiles as Brittany also walks over with a grin after talking to Beiste and ruffles Nic's hair as he walks over to greet Anna, she hugs her fiance as soon as she is near and pecks her lips. ''Hey mi amor.''

''Hey you, this is a nice surprise.'' Brittany murmurs as she ruffles Nicolas's hair, she leans over Santana to hug Anna and pulls back with a grin. ''Recording done?''

Santana nods her head as they watch Nicolas sprint back to the field after he hugged her one last time and chuckles as her family rushes over, she locks eyes with Brittany, grunting as her sister and Liv pull her in a bear hug and smiles. ''Recording is done, we are back home.'' She confirms.

''And we want to see the little Angels win.'' Anna breaths out with a big grin. ''Ready to show us some amazing future Lopez coaching?'' She asks as she locks eyes with Brittany, Brittany snickers and winks.

''Sure am.'' She breaths out, Santana chuckles as Brittany jogs back to join Beiste after kissing her softly and turns to Anna still enjoying the group hug from her family.

''You just made sure they will both fight harder.'' She muses, she turns to her parents hugging them tightly as she feels their arms wrap around her and kisses their cheeks. ''Hola mami and papi.''

''Hola mija, how was Germany?'' Maribel asks softly as she hugs her close.

''It was alright, I am glad to be back home though.'' She breaths out chuckling.

''Yeah we ain't letting your butt leave the country again this year S.'' Puck breaths out laughing. ''B is quite annoying without you.''

''Daddy!'' Beth squeaks out giggling. ''You were mean to auntie Britt, she ignored you.''

''Called out by your own kid.'' Amelia breaths out laughing as she hugs Santana last with Tori, Tori nods her head in agreement and snickers.

''We all know how Britt felt but you teased her the whole time.'' She points out chuckling. ''No wonder that she annoyed you to get her payback.''

''Is someone on my side?'' Puck pouts, Santana shakes her head and snickers.

''Not when it's about B, you know she is everyone's favorite blonde.''

''Jeez thanks.'' Quinn, Snow and Amelia breath out in unison.

Santana rolls her eyes and laughs. ''Favorite giant blonde.'' She corrects chuckling.

''Nic outside!'' She turns on her heels to face the field as she hears Brittany's order and leans back against her parents as she watches her son sprint into the penalty area, she glances at the time, biting her lip as she sees that they only have five more minutes to tie the score and intertwines her fingers on her abs as Daniel lobs the ball into the penalty area.

''Oh no.'' She winces as one of the defenders tackles Nicolas before the ball reaches him, her eyes widen as he jumps up in rage and bites her lip as she watches him harshly shove the boy.

She jumps as she hears a loud whistle as both teams start pushing each other and watches her fiance run out onto the field with Beiste as soon as the referee blew his whistle in warning. ''Damn, girl has strength.'' Anna breaths out as they all watch Brittany hoist Nic over the sideline with her arm wrapped around his waist, Santana hums in agreement as she watches her son wildly move his arms knowing he is trying to defend his actions and bites her lip as Brittany just shakes her head crouching down in front of him.

''Mini Snixx came out to play.'' Quinn breaths out as they all watch Nicolas angrily shake his head the second the referee holds up a yellow card for him after showing the defender a red card, Santana just observes her son and fiance, shaking her head as she notices the same tenseness in Brittany's body knowing she is just as pissed about the tackle and watches them all walk back to their positions after she gave Nicolas some advice for the penalty kick.

She cheers as her son scores with a panenka knowing they are now pulling out the tricks to piss the opposite teams off and watches her son sprint back to his half instead of celebrating with his team knowing they will power through and try to score in the four minutes extra time.

''Fast play!''

She watches the team's position change the second Brittany's order echoes around them and watches her son, Daniel and Hunter rush forward and Kyle one of the defenders easily take the ball into his team's possession after a safe sliding.

''Damn.'' Abi just breaths out in amazement as the ball rolls from one defender to the other, with every single player running onto the half of the opponents.

Santana hums in agreement as she watches one of the defenders long passing the ball over to Hunter running on the left sidelines, watching the opponents look between each player quite confused about the play and watches her son and Daniel sprint into the penalty area with Nicolas hanging back.

''Come on.'' They all murmur as Hunter passes the ball high into the penalty area, Santana holds her breath as Daniel jumps up the second the ball flies to him and tilts her head as he just turns mid jump to pass the ball to Nicolas standing slightly behind him.

''The pass is way too high.'' Liv whispers frowning.

''Nope they practiced hard to succeed with this one.'' Santana breaths out as she watches her son kick the ball with a bicycle kick, they all cheer loudly as the goalkeeper pushes the ball into his goal instead of away and watch the whole team jump on top of Nicolas with loud cheers before he can jump up to celebrate.

Santana chuckles as Beiste, Brittany and Kelly just high five each other with big proud smiles and smiles lovingly as Brittany crouches down to hug the team as they rush over, she shoots her son a wink as he looks at her after Brittany kissed his forehead and holds her thumbs up with a proud grin.

''Little Angels reached the tournament, the mini Angels reached their tournament, now we have to win tomorrow and enter.'' Amelia breaths out chuckling.

''Angels will bring in three trophies this year.'' Tori muses. ''All three teams are as strong as ever.''

''It's Sue's and Beiste's last year as head coach.'' Amelia murmurs. ''We want to give them the best year.''

''Wait, they are both quitting?'' Santana asks in surprise as she turns to her, Amelia nods her head and smiles slightly.

''They will both drop down to be assistant coach for the next maybe two years, they are searching for head coaches though, Sue already found her replacement.''

''Who?''

Amelia chuckles as everyone turn to her in unison and smiles slightly. ''It's Chris's last year as professional, she will quit after this season and take Sue's position, Claire might join her next year.''

''And who will replace Beiste?'' Maribel asks curiously.

''I have no idea.'' Amelia breaths out, Santana raises an eyebrow clearly hearing the lie and locks eyes with her. ''I am not telling you anything, she will talk to you herself.'' She whispers as soon as she leaned down so only Santana can hear her.

Santana nods her head turning back to face the field as the referee blows his whistle signaling the end of the match and smiles as the little Angel's all lift their arms with a loud cheer, she turns to her family and smiles slightly. ''I know we normally spend every match day at mami's and papi's house, but can I kidnap mi hijo and prometido for tonight and we will join you tomorrow?''

''Of course.'' Emilio breaths out as he kisses her head. ''We all have a long weekend so BBQ night tomorrow?''

Santana nods her head, stumbling into him as Nicolas tackles her in a hug and chuckles. ''Easy mijo.'' She murmurs sweetly as she runs her hand through his sweaty locks, she kisses his forehead as he looks up at her with a big smile and winks. ''Celebration dinner at home with mommy?''

''Si!''

She laughs and ruffles his hair. ''Go shower and change, I will wait here.''

''We will see you tomorrow nieto.'' Maribel breaths out as they all hug him.

''Amazing match buddy.'' Puck compliments with a grin. ''See you tomorrow.''

Santana chuckles as Brittany frowns in confusion as the group walks off after hugging her, also complimenting her and wraps her arms around her waist as soon as she reaches her. ''I requested a night just for us.'' She breaths out. ''We will join the family weekend tomorrow.''

''That sounds perfect.'' Brittany murmurs as she kisses her forehead. ''Want to join us in the changing room? The picture loving assholes are swarming the stands again.'' She intertwines their hands as Santana nods her head and leans down to scoop up Santana's bag and the bag with all soccer balls, she leads her into the building ignoring several photographers yelling their names and leads her down the hall to the locker room.

Later that evening.

Santana smiles lovingly as she runs her hand through her son's dark locks, listening to his soft snores as he sleeps peacefully with his head on her abs and his legs comfortably placed on Brittany's lap. ''The match powered him out.'' She muses.

''He sprinted around a lot today.'' Brittany murmurs chuckling. ''Couple that with the anger during the last twenty minutes and his energy went completely down right after his shower.''

''Oh yeah if you hadn't pulled him off of the field, he would have received red instead of yellow.''

''I know.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''That is why Beiste and I both sprinted out onto the field, she calmed the team down and I made sure he calmed down.''

Santana hums, turning on her side after adjusting Nicolas's position and gently runs her hand down his back as he grumbles tiredly. ''Go back to sleep, mi corazón.'' She looks up at Brittany after propping her hand up on her hand and smiles. ''I heard that two teams are awaiting a huge change after this season.''

''Amelia?''

She nods her head and chuckles. ''She only told us that Chris will take over Sue's position, but that Beiste will stop being head coach too.''

''Did she say more?''

She shakes her head and smiles. ''No I heard her clear lie but she told me that you will tell me.''

Brittany hums looking up at the ceiling and bites her lip. ''Beiste approached me two days ago after I had a meeting with Sue, the meeting with Sue was about the future plans of the team and that Press will play less with us and start her coaching career which makes me the second captain and Claire first.''

''So instead of third captain, you are the second in command now?'' Santana asks softly, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.

''Yeah and Claire won't continue playing for long either, she plans on joining Press in the dugout after next season and Sue will join Natalie managing all teams.'' She explains. ''The future of the big Angels is set with two soon to be coaches with lots of knowledge of the team and soccer itself.''

''And the future of the little and mini Angels?'' Santana asks softly.

''Well Ames will continue running the mini's along with Samantha, they are both still in their late twenties so I don't think much will change the next five years, I still stand on standby for some decisions too and Ames will run ideas by me before we set them in motion.''

''The little Angels is a bit more difficult and that is where you come in too.'' She adds softly.

''Me?'' Santana asks in surprise. ''Why me?''

''Well Beiste called me to her office after my meeting with Sue and asked me if I want to take the head coaching position.'' Brittany breaths out. ''Which would mean that I will coach the boys continuously aside from playing soccer myself.''

''So like you already do.'' Santana points out. ''You already coach them whenever you have the time and currently Natalie plans all matches so it's easily to combine, you join the little one's after your own match or training and vice versa.''

She smiles slightly as Brittany just raises an eyebrow and chuckles. ''You are already their head coach babe, you just don't have the title yet.'' She scoots closer as Nicolas adjusts his position to cuddle into the both of them and pecks her lips. ''It's entirely your decision babe, sure a bit more will be added to your schedule and I don't know if you can combine it, but please think of your own health too and take a step back if it's needed.''

''I know and I will.'' Brittany promises. ''I will have a meeting with Marley and Kitty next week, I think I will entirely step back from my manager function and only handle the paper work for the restaurant to lessen the stress.''

''They both already run the restaurant and Jay will also step back from Nightingale now that Jess is four months pregnant, sure it's a huge loss for Nightingale with us three leaving, but Jess will join the restaurant and she has a manager knowledge and I want to hire her as my replacement as soon as her little girl is old enough, for the time being she will join Jay behind the bar.''

''How does Nightingale react on the three of you quitting?'' Santana asks worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.

''Everyone is sad to see us go but they can understand, I promised to still finish some mixes for the time being until they find a DJ who can do it alone.'' Brittany murmurs with a grin. ''We still have a private booth for us though and five of us are leaving, Dan and Devin will still shadow me and join the restaurant as security.''

Santana shakes her head and snickers. ''So they don't only lose the Diamond and Blaze, but also an amazing bartender and two securities.'' She muses. ''You sure found yourself a faithful group babe.''

''Yeah I did.'' Brittany agrees with a loving grin. ''But you are okay with the coaching and soccer idea?''

''Does the idea of coaching full time beside playing make you happy?''

''Babe..''

Santana shakes her head and cups her cheek. ''I want you to do what makes you the happiest mi amor, and if your happiness is coaching Nic full time and still be the best striker you are, than please do.''

''You and Nic are my happiness.''

''And I love you for being so cute.'' She breaths out chuckling. ''But I mean career wise babe, the question is, do you have enough time for yourself if you take on coaching full time too.''

''If I only do paperwork for the restaurant, I will have.'' Brittany murmurs. ''I can still check on the crew once or twice a week, but I know the restaurant runs.'' She continues softly. ''Kitty and Marley know and understand that my priority is soccer as long as I can play.''

''Do you think there will be a moment where you will say that you can't?'' Santana asks curiously, Brittany shrugs her shoulders and smiles.

''My body is getting older, even when my mind is screaming at me that I still can, when my body says no, I have to listen to that and take a step back to make sure I won't injure myself.''

''Who are you and what did you do to my fiance?'' Santana asks in amusement.

''Shut up.'' Brittany grumbles through a soft laugh.

''Hell no, a few years ago you still pushed yourself to the brink of exhaustion with working out and playing.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''What changed?''

''My life and priorities changed.'' Brittany murmurs, she smiles slightly as Santana's eyebrows raise in surprise and shrugs. ''Soccer, my restaurant or well my whole career was my priority a few years ago, but then I met you.'' She whispers.

''Now my priority is making sure you and Nic are happy, because seeing the both of you happy makes me happy and I know that if I harm myself in any way that it will only cause stress within our little family and I don't want that to happen.''

''I want to tease you because you are disgustingly cute.''

''But?'' Brittany asks chucking.

''I can't because that just make me swoon.'' Santana fake grumbles, she chuckles as Brittany snickers and pecks her lips. ''That is my priority too though and that is exactly why I told Ab's that I will take overseas recording but only during breaks and only if you and Nic can join me or I can go home more often and not be away for months without the possibility to go home for a bit.''

''That would make it more bearable.'' Brittany murmurs. ''Five months are definitely too long.''

Santana hums in agreement as she cuddles close and wraps her arm around Nicolas as he relaxes between them. ''That is why Nic and I will join you in Australia, we are sure you will reach the semi and we want to experience it with you.''

''It will be your first WC, that is important mommy.''

They both look down as they hear Nicolas's tired grumble and chuckle as he tiredly rubs his face against Brittany's abs, Brittany smiles lovingly and gently runs her fingers through his dark locks. ''I am glad I can experience that with the both of you, go back to sleep darling.''

''Will we cuddle here?''

Santana hums softly leaning down to kiss the back of his head as Brittany looks at her and smiles. ''We will.'' She murmurs, she tucks the blanket around him and rubs his back. ''Go back to sleep mijo.''

''Mh te amo mami and mommy.''

''We love you too darling.'' Brittany murmurs as she kisses his head, she smiles as he crawls on top of her, laying down on her back so he can lay down comfortably and wraps her arm around Santana as she cuddles into her side.

She kisses the top of her head as she feels her relax against her shoulder and covers the both of them with the blanket, she runs her hand through Santana's dark locks and smiles as she hums softly. ''You want to watch something?''

Santana shakes her head, wrapping her arms around her waist and tilts her head up to kiss her cheek softly. ''Nah let's follow Nic's lead, I didn't really sleep that well during the flight so laying like this causes me to fight sleep.''

''Stop fighting it.'' Brittany murmurs with a soft chuckle, she snickers as she grumbles and kisses her head. ''I love you Santana.''

''I love you too Britt-Britt, good night.''

''Good night, love.''
