Next up: Double and Trouble completing the Lopez family.
Two months later.
''How are you doing mija?'' Maribel asks with a loving grin as she slides up beside her daughter watching her snack on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, Santana turns to her and slowly runs her hand down her big bump.
''Like I am going to explode.'' Santana murmurs, she snickers softly as she watches Brittany just shoot Puck a look knowing she is silently warning him and turns to her mami. ''And I think B is ready for them to come out too.''
''If looks could kill.'' Maribel muses. ''Do you know why she is so protective?'' She asks softly. ''She only allows us, abuela, Abi, Q and Liv to touch your bump.''
''Your are mi familia.'' Santana breaths out. ''Puck tried poking my bump once the day I started showing and she immediately forbade him to touch me, she is afraid it will harm our babies in anyway but I am glad everyone understands.''
''Because everyone was like she is.'' Maribel murmurs chuckling. ''Your papi didn't allow anyone but Abi and mi mami to touch my bump, Alma wasn't allowed to touch me at all.'' She breaths out. ''Puck didn't allow anyone but us to touch Q, Michael didn't allow anyone but Esmeralda and Julia to touch and Ab's only wanted us and Q touching Liv too.''
Santana nods her head in agreement, taking a sip of her water bottle and stretches with a soft groan. ''I am so ready for the next two months to pass.'' She breaths out. ''My back is killing me and their kicks are getting stronger every fucking time.''
''You are growing two soccer stars.'' Maribel muses, she turns to her daughter in law and crooks her finger silently calling her over.
''Scolding or normal talk?''
She laughs as she stops a few feet away from them with a cheeky grin and leans over as she hears Santana's soft giggle, she grabs her hand before she can step back and yanks her closer. ''Normal.'' She reassures with a grin.
She smiles lovingly as she watches Brittany relax, the hand she isn't holding immediately rubbing Santana's back and tilts her head. ''Do you know the trick, on how to ease the weight for San?''
''There is a trick?'' Brittany asks in surprise, Maribel nods her head and smiles lovingly.
''There is.'' She confirms.
''Why the hell did nobody tell me that before?'' Brittany asks curiously as she notices Santana also look at Maribel in confusion.
''I just read about it.'' Maribel breaths out. ''I don't think everyone knows.'' She releases her hold on Brittany's hand and winks. ''Slide behind Santanita.'' She smiles lovingly as she immediately does as she says and gently grabs her hands, she places them underneath the bump and locks eyes with her. ''Now gently lift her bump.''
''Oh dios mio.'' Santana moans out reclining fully back against Brittany as she feels the weight on her feet lessen the second she lifts her bump, Maribel laughs as Brittany's eyebrows raise in surprise and softly pats her arm.
''Looks like you will have your hands full tonight.'' She breaths out in amusement.
Brittany just laughs softly as she watches Maribel turn on her heels knowing she will explain it to their family so the surprised and amused glances will quickly move away from them and nuzzles her nose against Santana's temple. ''Good?''
''Fuck yes.'' Santana breaths out. ''Better than a fucking orgasm.''
Brittany sucks in her lips as everyone burst out laughing and shakes her head. ''Looks like you need a reminder.'' She husks out, she snickers as she feels Santana's face heat up and tilts her head as she feels her face nuzzle against her neck.
''Mami, mommy what is a orga..'' Nic cuts himself off and frowns. ''Whatever mami said?''
Brittany turns to him in shock, noticing everyone quickly cover their mouths to muffle their laughter and gulps thickly as she feels Santana tense in her arms. She clears her throat before Santana can pull away and turns to Nic. ''An organism?'' She asks, she sighs inwardly in relief as she hears him hum, feeling Santana's soft exhale against her warm neck and clears her throat.
''An organism is a living thing, an animal or a plant.'' She explains. ''I am currently lifting most of double and trouble's weight so your mami's feet won't hurt that much, so it feels better than the soft fur of a dog or cat.''
''That makes sense.'' Sophia breaths out, Nicolas nods his head in agreement and smiles brightly.
''Mami's feet are always hurting, so I can only imagine that it feels better now that mommy is holding most of the weight.'' He breaths out. ''Can I go play with Soph, Beth and Amy?''
Brittany nods her head, sighing in relief as he runs off and drops her head. ''That was so fucking close.''
''Nice save B.'' Emilio breaths out laughing as they all walk over to join them near the snack table.
''You need to learn how to lower your voice hermana.'' Abi breaths out laughing.
''Shut up.'' Santana grumbles keeping her blushing face hidden against Brittany's neck, Brittany shoots Puck a look as she watches him open his mouth and slowly releases her hold on Santana's bump after warning her softly. She points at him as she hears her grumble and shakes her head.
''I don't want to hear whatever you are thinking, just shut up Noah.''
''I didn't want to say anything bad.'' Puck defends with a slight smirk. ''I am just surprised that you can go nine months with just yo…'' He yelps as one of the cupcakes Maria made suddenly sticks to his forehead and shoots Brittany a glare as he hears everyone else snicker. ''Brittany!''
''Noah Joel.'' Brittany replies in the exact same tone, she raises an eyebrow as he frowns and tilts her head. ''Want to continue? I have enough other things I can throw.'' She promises.
''And I thought San was doped on hormones.'' He grumbles wiping his forehead, he takes a bite of the cupcake not noticing Brittany creeping closer and Nicolas immediately siding with her after he noticed the teasing and hums as he walks towards the trashcan near the pool. ''Damn Maria, the cupcakes are..''
''Now Nic.''
Brittany sprints forward hearing Nicolas follow her lead and dives forward wrapping her arms around Puck's waist, she smirks as the force of Nicolas crashing into him brings Puck off balance and reaches behind her to cover Nic's nose making sure water won't irritate his nose.
Santana giggles as she hears Puck's girly squeal before a loud splash fills the backyard and turns to her family as they all double over laughing loudly. ''When will he learn not to tease her?'' She asks chuckling, she runs her hand down her bump as she feels two kicks and cracks a grin. ''Your mommy and Hermano are a dangerous duo.'' She whispers softly as she watches her wife climb out of the pool and gracefully pull Nicolas up with her.
''Babe, mijo.'' She calls out as she takes the two towels and fresh shirts her mami handed her, she holds the towels out for them as they both jog over, hearing their soft chuckles and shakes her head. ''The both of you just had to team up huh?''
''He asked for it.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging as she wipes her face.
''He teased mommy.'' Nicolas defends giggling as he takes his shirt off, he turns around as Brittany crouches down behind him and hands her his towel so she can dry his back thoroughly.
He turns back around after he tapped the small of his back and slides his shirt on, Brittany takes off her own shirt after the men turned around and looks down at her soaking wet bra. ''Yeah I am not going without.'' She breaths out snickering, she takes the black shirt Santana holds out for her and slides it on.
''Is your tattoo completely healed or do you need your ointment?'' Liv asks curiously.
''Nah it's completely healed.'' Brittany breaths out. ''I can workout and swim as much as I want again.''
Abi clears her throat as she notices Puck trying to grab Brittany and shakes her head. ''Keep your payback for some other day Puck.'' She chuckles as he whines and turns to her sister, Nicolas and sister in law. ''Ready to find out the gender of double and trouble?''
She laughs as they immediately nod their heads in excitement and mentions her hand to the makeshift soccer field now permanently a part of her parents backyard. ''Please follow me.'' She breaths out knowing her wife set everything up with Sophia, Beth and her mami.
''Nic, come here buddy.'' Liv exclaims with a grin as Santana and Brittany both stand in the middle with their family surrounding them, she crouches down as he sprints over and ruffles his hair smirking as he scowls. ''Your mami and mommy want you to reveal the gender, so Tia Abi, Sophia and I thought of something fun.''
Abi joins them pointing to the goal and smiles. ''What do you say to a few penalty kicks?''
''Yes!''
Brittany laughs as he immediately runs over to the white spot they spray painted on the field and wraps her arms around Santana from behind. ''Leave it to them, to create a soccer related gender reveal.''
''They know what will make us the happiest.'' Santana muses as she leans her head back against her toned shoulder. ''Ready to find out what we will be having?'' She locks eyes with her sister as she feels Brittany's soft hum against her temple.
''Ready mommy and mami?'' Abi asks grinning, she turns to Nicolas as they both nod their heads and winks as Liv walks over with six balls. ''Two of these contain a color, the others are just for fun and to dye your clothes a nice color.''
She crouches down as he slides closer and raises an eyebrow as he mentions for her to come closer. ''Can mommy kick one too?'' She nods her head noticing his big grin and raises an eyebrow.
''What are you planning?''
''You will see Tia, I am sure you know which balls contain the color.'' He breaths out as he takes a ball from Liv. ''Can you leave one for mommy?'' He places the ball down as she hums and takes a few steps back, he looks over his shoulder, grinning as he notices Quinn and his Abuela holding their phones to record it while Puck holds his professional camera and locks eyes with his parents. ''Ready?''
Santana nods her head intertwining her hands with Brittany's on her baby bump as she feels her hands calmly run over them and watches Nicolas sprint towards the ball, Brittany snickers as the ball explodes into a green color and shakes her head as it immediately sticks to his clothes. ''Oh you girls are mean.'' She breaths out laughing.
''Want to help him?'' Brittany asks as she kisses the back of Santana's head. ''You can throw the ball and he can kick it.''
''Sounds good, hermana can he do volleys instead of penalty kicks?'' She walks over as she nods her head and holds her hand out for Liv. ''Gimme one.''
''Oh this is even better!'' Abi squeaks out grinning, she hands Brittany a ball too and winks. ''Mommy can throw too.''
''Or mommy kicks with me.'' Nicolas breaths out, Santana raises an eyebrow as she notices Abi and Liv exchange smirks and shakes her head.
''Oh the both of you are planning something.'' She breaths out chuckling.
''Maybe.'' Liv singsongs as she hands her a ball. ''Have fun Santanita.''
''Throw and roll?'' Brittany asks as she locks eyes with Nic, she smiles as he nods his head and locks eyes with her wife. ''You throw and I roll?'' She crouches down as she nods her head and locks eyes with Nic as they all count down, she rolls the ball the second they reach one at the exact same moment Santana throws it and snickers as a wave of red power follows the yellow one Santana threw soon after.
Nicolas giggles as he wipes his face and shakes his head. ''This is fun.'' He breaths out, he turns to his mommy as he hears his mami snicker and laughs. ''You're a bit red mommy.''
Brittany chuckles tugging on her black shirt now covered in red powder and watches Santana roll another ball towards Nic, she turns to Abi and Liv as she sees the color purple and raises an eyebrow. ''Did you forget to request the actual color?''
''Nope.'' Liv breaths out laughing, she hands Santana one of the balls she still holds and winks. ''The moment of truth ladies, B will you stand beside Nic?''
Brittany nods her head sliding beside Nicolas and looks down running her hand through his purple, red and yellow colored hair. ''Volley?'' She chuckles as he immediately nods his head and adjusts her position so she won't kick Nicolas.
''Alright, kiddos countdown very loudly.'' Abi announces, she takes one of the balls from Liv and smiles as Santana takes the other one. ''Ready hermana?'' She turns to the two standing in the middle and smirks. ''Ready?''
Brittany nods her head, locking eyes with Nicolas as she hears everyone counting down from five and starts their own countdown to make sure they are both in sync. She eyes the ball Santana throws in her direction, nodding her head as she notices that Abi also threw it in the exact same moment and locks eyes with Nic.
''Now mommy!''
Santana gasps softly as a huge cloud of blue color fills the air around her wife and son, hearing everyone cheer loudly and turns to her sister. ''Two boys?'' She smiles lovingly as she hears her son cheer loudly and turns her head to look at them after Abi nodded her head with a loving grin, she immediately locks eyes with her wife, grinning as she notices the happiness in her eyes and walks over. ''We will have three adorable little guys running around soon.''
She hums softly as Brittany just cups her cheeks, tugging her close to kiss her softly and wraps her arms around her waist her pulse quickening as she feels the amount of love she put into one single kiss.
''Two Hermano's!'' Brittany smiles lovingly pulling out of the kiss as she feels Nicolas wrapping her arms around them and easily scoops him up in her arms.
''Two little boys.'' She just whispers her eyes sparkling brightly in the sun, Abi smiles lovingly as she watches Nicolas and Brittany both kiss Santana's cheek noticing nothing but happiness on their faces and turns to her wife as their whole family rush over to congratulate them.
''Second reveal idea?'' She steps forward as she nods her head and hugs her sister from behind after everyone stepped back. ''You know, we are all surprised nobody noticed you being pregnant yet.'' She muses.
''Yeah how the hell did the both of you manage to keep that hidden for six months?'' Liv asks curiously.
''Easy.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''Nobody ever asked me why I wear Britt's coaching, National or team jacket.''
''Or my hoodies.'' Brittany muses. ''Whenever San is out she wears my clothes, they don't really hide her bump but her purse does.''
''Her clothes just make sure that they don't notice that I am wearing maternity jeans.''
''Do the both of you want to keep it a complete secret?'' Abi asks with an eyebrow raised.
''At first we wanted to wait three months and post something about it.'' Santana breaths out, she glances at Brittany, smiling lovingly as she sees her still holding Nicolas on her hip even though he already towers over her and turns back to her sister. ''But now we would like to keep it a secret though.''
''Why is that?'' Julia asks her granddaughter curiously.
''The paps and fans leave us be.'' Santana breaths out shrugging. ''Sure they still follow me wherever I go and request an autograph from time to time, but the tabloids didn't post anything aside from the question why I took a break.''
''We also will use the same rules San had with Nic.'' Brittany continues. ''Tabloids are not allowed to post any pictures of our children unless they accompany us to a screening.''
''We also won't post any pictures of their faces until they are old enough to voice if they want to be published or not.'' Santana adds.
''So like Nic did?'' Quinn asks with a slight grin. ''None of us expected him to voice it at the age of six, but he is a little genius and knows what he wants.''
''I knew mi familia will make sure they won't annoy me.'' Nicolas breaths out shrugging. ''Mami and mommy both have jobs that cause a lot of attention and focus on our lives, but we all make sure nobody annoys any of us.''
''True our familia is strong and will always protect each other.'' Sophia agrees with a big smile, Abi smiles as everyone hums in agreement and clears her throat.
''We have one more idea for a reveal, maybe to post later on.''
''And that is?'' Brittany asks curiously.
''Before we tell you.'' Sophia breaths out jogging over with two white button ups. ''You and Nic have to change first Tia B.''
''Just do it.'' Liv tells her as Brittany raises an eyebrow, Brittany rolls her eyes placing Nic down and takes one of the button ups.
''And now?'' Brittany asks curiously noticing Santana also turning to face Abi and Liv in confusion.
''There is a reason we asked San to wear a white dress that is allowed to get dirty.'' Abi breaths out as she shows them the package of blue powder, she laughs as she watches the smile grow on Brittany's face and holds the package out for her. ''Have fun B.''
''Wait let me set up the camera.'' Brittany chuckles opening the powder bag and turns to her wife as Emilio jogs over.
''Hand print on your baby bump?''
''How does a heart sound?'' Santana asks softly, she smiles as Brittany nods her head and turns to Nicolas. ''You want to place your hand inside the heart mijo?''
Brittany pours a bit of powder in Nicolas's hand as he nods his head with a big grin and scoops a bit out to rub the side of Santana's thumb and middle finger in, she rubs her own fingers in and glances up at Emilio. ''Ready?''
she forms half a heart with her thumb and middle finger on Santana's bump, feeling he thumb and middle finger touch her own and looks down as she feels Nicolas's hand grace her fingers.
''Nic hold both of your hands up.'' She murmurs after Emilio took a few pictures, she pulls her hand back pouring a bit of powder in Nicolas's hands and pours a bit into her own. ''Babe?''
Santana smiles knowing what she is planning and just holds her hands up, she rubs then together as soon as Brittany poured a bit of powder in them and looks down as she feels her hands on the side of her bump.
She places her hands right beside Brittany's, feeling Nicolas's hands cover her belly button and looks down. She smiles lovingly as he looks up at her with a big bright smile and winks not noticing Brittany just watching them with a loving smile, Nicolas pulls back after kissing her bump and smiles brightly. ''Now mommy and mami alone!''
Brittany laughs as he jogs off and locks eyes with Santana as she turns on her heels, she covers the side of her bump with her hand and leans their foreheads together after kissing her softly not noticing Emilio just holding his finger on the shutter.
''You make me so insanely happy.'' She murmurs softly as she gazes into brown orbs filled with love. ''I can't wait to meet our little angels.'' She wraps her right arm around Nicolas as she feels his arm wrap around her waist and looks down smiling lovingly as she watches him kiss Santana's bump. ''You will be the best big brother, little love.''
''And you and mami will be the best mami and mommy, double and trouble could have wished for.'' Nicolas replies cutely as he looks up at them with a big grin.
Everyone smiles lovingly as they watch the bond between the three just grow with every little touch and glance at each other, Abi leans back into Liv's embrace as she feels her arms wrap around her waist from behind and sighs happily. ''Remind me to place a huge bouquet of Marcus's and Em's favorite flowers on their graves.'' She murmurs softly. ''Without their help, Santanita would have never found the happiness she gave up on.''
''I will.'' Liv promises as they all watch Santana and Brittany share a soft kiss while holding Nicolas close, she kisses the back of her head and smiles lovingly as she watches the big happy smile on everyone's faces knowing the twins will be loved unconditionally.
