''Mommy, mami!''
Brittany and Santana looks up from preparing dinner and raise an eyebrow as their twins excitedly run into the kitchen. ''Yes?'' Santana asks in amusement as QT crashes against her leg and Oli jogs over to Brittany to hug her leg tightly.
''Nic is home and he brought a really beautiful woman.'' QT gushes cutely.
''Girl!''
''Woman!''
''Girl!''
''Boys!'' Brittany laughs out. ''She is a girl, and she has a name.''
''Ha!''
''She is almost a woman though.'' Santana breaths out chuckling as Oli dances in victory. ''The both of you were right.''
''But she still has a name.'' Nicolas breaths out as he walks into the kitchen, he gently tugs on Ashlynn's hand and locks eyes with his parents. ''Mami, mommy, Hermano's this is Ashlynn mi Novia.'' He turns to Ashlynn and smiles. ''Ash please meet mi mami Santana, mi mommy Brittany and.''
He ruffles his little brothers hairs and chuckles. ''These two little devils, Quinton and Oliver.''
''Nice to meet you.''
Brittany laughs softly as they scramble over to her to hide behind her legs with a shy grin and shakes her head, she follows Santana over to the two teens and holds out her hand after Santana shook Ashlynn's hand and smiles kindly. ''Nice to meet you Ashlynn.''
''Nice to meet you too Mrs and Mrs Lopez.''
''Please call us Santana and Brittany.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''Mrs Lopez is my mother.''
''Okay Santana.'' Ashlynn breaths out with a shy smile, Brittany nudges their little boys softly as Ashlynn turns to them and chuckles.
''Don't be shy, go say hi.''
''That rhymed.'' QT giggles, Brittany just looks down with an eyebrow raised and turns to Santana as he follows his brother to Ashlynn with a cheeky grin.
''That's all you.'' She whispers in amusement.
''Like hell.'' Santana breaths out chuckling as they both watch Ashlynn and Nicolas joke around with the twins, immediately making them feel at ease. ''That's all you babe.''
''Mommy, mami can we go to the family room until dinner is ready?'' Oliver asks cutely as he bounces over to them, Santana turns to Nicolas with an eyebrow raised. She smiles as he just slightly nods his head and looks down at Oliver.
''You can but don't claim Ashlynn too much alright? Allow your Hermano to show her the house and the family/gaming room.''
''We will.''
''And no candy.'' Brittany calls out as the twins jog out of the room, she locks eyes with Nicolas and chuckles. ''Please hide the cookies.''
''I will mommy.'' Nicolas breaths out chuckling.
''We will call you all over for dinner.'' Santana promises, she turns to Ashlynn and winks. ''If the boys get too much, we have a silent corner just outside of the family room, Nic can show you that where you can watch whatever you want.''
Ashlynn laughs and nods her head. ''I will keep that in mind, thank you Mrs..'' She cuts herself off as Santana raises an eyebrow and smiles sheepishly. ''Sorry, thank you Santana.''
''Stop scaring her love.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling as she pushes her wife softly, she turns to the kids and winks. ''Have fun kids, we will start cooking.'' She turns to Santana with a soft laugh as Oliver and Quinton jump behind Ashlynn and Nicolas with a loud squeak, she shakes her head as she hears the teens squeal and locks eyes with her wife as she hears Nicolas promising his brothers that they will catch them followed by very fast footsteps.
''Are you sure you don't want to join them San? You know I can handle it alone.''
''I know but I want to cook with you, we barely manage to do that anymore.'' Santana breaths out with a sigh. ''What are we making?''
''Bacon wrapped tenderloin, mash, tater tots, roasted veggies and chicken for our angels.''
''So lots of proteins for the teens and chicken because the boys don't like other meat at the moment.'' Santana breaths out chuckling, she smiles as Brittany nods her head and leans up on her tiptoes to kiss her cheek. ''Sounds amazing, how can I help?''
''Do you want to make the mash?'' Brittany asks nodding her head to the potatoes she already cooked. ''The pork is already done, I only need to heat it up so I will make the tater tots and veggies.''
She kisses the back of Santana's head as she hums and walks to the kitchen door, she opens it and leans against the door frame smiling lovingly as she hears the twins laughter echo out of the family room. ''Kids, Ashlynn?''
''Yes mommy?''
She laughs as she watches three heads peak around the corner and shakes her head. ''Children beer?''
''Si!''
She chuckles locking eyes with Nicolas and winks. ''Fruity and colorful for Ashlynn and coconut for you?'' She waits as he turns back into the room to talk to his girlfriend and smiles as he leans back out nodding his head, she blows him a kiss and winks. ''I will prepare them.''
''Gracias mommy.''
''Anytime sweetie.'' She pushes herself back into the kitchen closing the door behind her and hugs Santana from behind. ''With or without for us?''
''Without, but fruity and colorful sounds amazing.'' Santana whispers as she leans her head back against her shoulder, Brittany chuckles and pecks her lip as she turns her head to look at her.
''I will start with our drinks first so it can chill, what do we want to make for dessert?''
''Dirt pudding for the kids and chocolate lava cake for us, Nic and Ashlynn?''
Brittany chuckles and nods her head. ''Sounds perfect.'' She holds a slice of strawberry up for her and kisses her forehead. ''Pick whatever you want to hear love.'' She murmurs as she turns the docking station on the table on.
''Hey siri?''
Yes Snixx?
''Play Catch me.''
Playing Catch me by Demi Lovato.
Brittany smiles as she hears the slow melody start up and wraps her arms back around Santana's waist after she prepared everything for the drinks, she kisses the back of her neck as she immediately moves to the music and nuzzles her nose in her dark locks as they swing to the music. ''I love you.''
Santana drops the spatula in her hand and slides it up Brittany's arm to cup the back of her neck, she turns her head smiling as they immediately lock eyes and tilts her chin up to kiss the tip of her nose. ''I love you too Britt-Britt.''
Two and a half hours later.
''That was delicious.'' Ashlynn breaths out as she places her cutlery down, Brittany smiles as she hears their sons hum in agreement and stands up to clear the table.
''I am glad, I hope you left some place for dessert.''
''Sit mommy.'' Nicolas tells her as he stands up with QT and Oli. ''We will clean the table.''
Santana laughs as Brittany turns to her with an eyebrow raised and turns to Ashlynn. ''Please feel free to join us for dinner more often, this is the first time we don't have to ask them to clean the table.''
''Hey we do clean.'' Nicolas whines.
''Birthdays and mothers day don't count sweetheart.'' Brittany laughs out, she slowly nods her head as Nicolas turns to her with a frown and chuckles. ''But yes, whenever we ask you jump up immediately.''
She stands up as they turn on the dishwasher and ruffles their hairs. ''Dessert?''
''What are we having?'' QT asks cutely as he leans against her leg, Brittany opens the refrigerator and grabs the two jars she made for them. ''Oh dirt pudding!''
''Dirt what?'' Ashlynn asks in amusement.
''Dirt pudding.'' Nicolas repeats chuckling. ''Vanilla pudding with Oreo crumbs and gummy worms.'' He explains. ''The little devils call it dirt pudding.''
''We no devils.'' Oliver tells him as he sits back down. ''We are Angels, right mommy and mami?''
''Our little Angels si.'' Santana confirms as she kisses their heads, she places a glass of milk in front of them and looks at Ashlynn with a kind smile. ''Do you want another rainbow sunrise?''
''Yes please and thank you Brittany.'' Ashlynn breaths out as she places a lava cake in front of her, she looks at her as they all sit back down after Santana placed another glass with rainbow colored liquid in front of her and smiles shyly. ''You joined one of my matches two weeks ago right?''
Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''Sure did and I will definitely join more, you gathered quite a lot of attention from several colleges.''
''I only have my focus set on one, I hope they have their focus on me too.''
''May I ask on who?''
''On Cal.''
''The same college Nic has in mind.'' Santana muses. ''I didn't see you play yet but I know my wife is not quick to impress, so I am sure you have the same skills he has and Cal will definitely be dumb if they don't contact you.''
''Well I hope they do but I still have a year and a half of high school.''
''What made you pick soccer out of every other sport?'' Santana asks curiously.
''Press, Claire and Brittany did.'' Ashlynn breaths out with a shy grin.
''Say what now?'' Brittany breaths out in surprise, Ashlynn nods her head and chuckles.
''Do you remember the sport event you organized at the heart elementary six years ago?'' She smiles as Brittany slowly nods her head and shrugs. ''Everybody was more focused on having three famous women joining us for our sport hour but I watched the both of you joke around while kicking the ball back and forth and joined you after a while.''
''Wasn't that the day I had to pick you up because you injured your ankle?'' Santana asks curiously.
''Yeah.'' Brittany confirms. ''One of the girls was fast as hell and managed to tackle me.''
''Still sorry about that and the two matches you missed.'' Ashlynn breaths out sheepishly.
''That was you?!'' Brittany laughs as she jumps the second everyone yells in surprise and smiles slightly.
''Sorry, but that was you?''
''Yeah I just saw a chance and took it, I was too late pulling my foot back though so, sorry.''
''Don't be.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''You have a good right kick tho, keep training it.''
''Oh I am planning to, I still the advice the three of you gave us in the back of my mind.''
''Which one?''
''To not overdo it and to take a step back if I need it, private life before soccer life.''
''Sadly that won't always work.'' Santana breaths out with a slight grin. ''There are some matches and days where you will notice that you won't be able to separate them, but with the right team you will have back up and people who will make sure you won't pass up on important things.''
''Like the birth of my sons, a year of time to watch them grow up and the opportunity to train Nic aside from playing my self.'' Brittany counts up chuckling. ''Aside from that I also still had my restaurant and a few years every weekend a gig.''
''That's right you were Blue Diamond too.'' Ashlynn breaths out. ''How did you manage to do four jobs?''
''It wasn't easy and I definitely damaged a bit of my health with it, but after meeting Santana and.'' She nods her head to Nicolas. ''Being a huge part of Nic's life, I knew I had to change a lot of things so I did.''
''Was it hard?''
''No not really.'' Brittany murmurs as she intertwines her hand with Santana's underneath the table. ''I focused on my career for years and I didn't want to fu..'' She cuts herself off as Nicolas and Santana simultaneously clear their throats and chuckles. ''I didn't want to ruin the only thing that caused real happiness in my life so I drastically threw my life around and now after almost eleven years I still don't regret a single thing.''
''Why don't we all move to the backyard?'' Santana ask after they finished their dessert.
''Can we go and play?''
Santana nods her head after glancing at the time and smiles. ''You can, half an hour before it's time for bed.''
''But I'm not tired.'' QT whines as they walk out into the backyard.
''Go play, that will make you tired Smiley.'' She turns to the teens and smiles. ''Fire pit?''
''Si.'' Nicolas breaths out excitedly. ''Can I show Ashlynn the tree house first?''
Brittany nods her head watching Nicolas lead Ashlynn to the tree house and turns to Santana as she walks over with wood. ''He is showing her the tree house.''
''So she means a lot to him.'' Santana murmurs as they both crouch down to build the fire. ''I think she is really good for him too, she is down to earth and not star struck at all her focus is more on him than on us which is good.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and sighs. ''Yeah I was also afraid he would bring someone home who would only focus on his famous parents, Ashlynn treats us like normal people and she clearly likes him as much as he likes her.''
''They just started dating and only time will tell, but I am quite sure Nic found someone who will support his dreams.''
''She sure will, she has the same dream.'' Brittany muses, she takes the lighter out of her pocket as Santana hums in agreement and lights the wood up.
They both sit down as the wood starts crackling and Brittany moves behind Santana so she can recline back against her, she watches the teens climb back down and glances at the twins smiling as she watches them run around playing tag.
''It's really amazing out here.'' Ashlynn breaths out as she sits down beside Nicolas on the opposite of the fire. ''And the view from Nic's tree house is amazing.''
''It's my favorite thing to do whenever I am up there working on my homework, play loud music and watch the devils sprint around giggling loudly.'' Nicolas breaths out chuckling as he slowly scoots closer to Ashlynn, he nods his head to the twins sprinting around and snickers. ''Just wait till you experience their five minutes.''
Brittany covers her chuckle with a cough as she watches Nic's eyebrows raise in surprise the second Ashlynn leans against his side and winces as Santana hits her thigh hard. ''Ouch, hey!''
''Be nice.'' Santana just warns chuckling.
''I didn't do…'' She cuts herself off as Santana just shoots her a look and sighs. ''Fine.'' She turns to Nic as she hears him crack a whip and points at him as Ashlynn giggles. ''You be quiet.''
Santana rolls her eyes as Nicolas just smiles cheekily and chuckles. ''Don't try her mijo.'' She warns. ''Mommy can be as bad as Tio Puck if she wants to.''
''Am not.''
''Are too!''
Brittany turns to the twins as she hears them agree with Santana and raises an eyebrow. ''Really?'' She whines. ''Can't one of you have my back here?''
''Not on this topic mommy.'' Nicolas laughs out. ''You are the biggest clown here.''
''Says the one that joins me to do whatever the fuck we planned.'' Brittany muses making sure the twins won't hear her.
''Curse jar.'' Nicolas sing songs as Santana hits her once again, he laughs as she rolls her eyes and shrugs. ''Mami still thinks I don't know what the hell those words mean.''
''Curse jar.'' Brittany teases as Santana throws him a glare.
Ashlynn giggles and shakes her head. ''Now I know where you got that big mouth from.''
''Ha!''
''Calmarse love.'' Brittany laughs out as Santana almost jumps up while pointing at her with a grin. ''You are still behaving now, just wait till Ashlynn comes over more often.'' She glances at the time and sighs. ''Angels?''
''Yes mommy?''
She turns to them as they reply in unison and nods her head inside. ''Time to say good night and brush your teeth.'' She shakes her head as they whine and sighs. ''You have a match tomorrow QT and you have dance class right after Cheeky.''
''Song or story mijos?'' Santana asks as they slowly nod their heads with a deep sigh.
''Song por favor.'' Oliver replies almost immediately.
''Smiley?'' Brittany just asks, Quinton taps his chin and smiles.
''Song too please.''
''Alright.'' Santana breaths out as she pushes herself up. ''Say good night Angels.''
Brittany hugs them as they immediately run over and kisses their foreheads. ''Good night little loves.'' She murmurs. ''I love you.''
''Good night mommy, te amo.'' They both reply in unison as they kiss her cheeks, she smiles as they pull back to run around the fire and smiles lovingly as they both hug Nicolas wishing him a good night too.
She glances at Santana as they also hug Ashlynn telling her that it was nice to meet her and asking her to come over soon again and winks as she watches her loving grin grow, she turns back to the teens as Oliver and Quinton run over to their mami and leans back on her hands. ''Do you have a curfew Ashlynn?'' She asks as she glances at the time again.
''Not really but I have training tomorrow, so I want to go to bed around twelve.'' Ashlynn replies. ''So I need to walk down the hill around eleven thirty to make it home on time.''
''Walk?''
''I don't have a license yet, I am still saving for it so yes walk.''
''No need I will drive you down and Nic can join me.'' Brittany breaths out with a smile. ''You live down the hill?''
''Yeah about twenty minutes away from here, you don't have to drive me though I can walk down.''
''I rather not have you walk down around this time.'' Brittany murmurs as they lock eyes. ''The neighborhood might be save but you never know, it's a short drive so I don't mind and we will be back home before Nic has to sleep.''
''Do you have a match or only training tomorrow?'' Nicolas asks curiously.
''Only training, you?''
''A match around four.'' Nicolas breaths out with a grin. ''We will play against Pride Junior, QT will have his match against Washington mini first and after Oli's dance class we will return back to the field so I can play.''
''Busy schedule.'' Ashlynn breaths out chuckling.
''That is mostly on Saturdays or Sundays.'' Santana chuckles as three heads snap over to her and sits back down in front of Brittany as she spreads her legs to make space for her. ''But we absolutely love it and appreciate the family time.''
''When do you have your next match?'' Nicolas asks curiously.
''Next week Friday night against NY/NJ Gotham FC.'' Ashlynn replies with a slight grin.
''Ouh a rival match to start off the weekend?'' Brittany asks. ''That's hard.''
''Can I watch?'' Nicolas asks slowly, he turns to his parents as Ashlynn just nods her head with a big smile and bites his lip. ''Mami, mommy..''
''I will drive you.'' Brittany promises with a chuckle.
''Or you can join.'' Ashlynn breaths out with a shy grin. ''It would be nice knowing there are people in the stands rooting for me for once.''
Brittany taps Santana's hip as she hears her soft sharp intake of breath and softly clicks her tongue as Nicolas slightly shakes his head telling them to not question it. ''We will be there.'' She promises with a grin.
''Yep I will make sure nothing will disturb my day off.'' Santana breaths out with a grin. ''I am curious though, do you have other hobbies aside soccer?''
''I love good music and dancing.'' Ashlynn replies chuckling. ''But soccer is my priority and before a match I don't drink..'' She cuts herself off and smiles innocently. ''Well I mean I never drink but..''
''Don't worry.'' Santana breaths out chuckling. ''I am sure we both had our first drink around your age and Nic is allowed to drink one small percentage beverage on his birthday, New Year and Christmas.''
''What is your favorite?'' Brittany asks curiously.
''Tequila sunrise or Pina colada.''
Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''I will make sure I have one of them on Nic's birthday, we will pack out the alcohol the second the twins are in bed so you can drink one of them too if you want.''
''I think I will stay sober, I need to take the train back home late at night.''
Santana just glances at her son, slightly nodding her head as they lock eyes and winks as he smiles thankfully that she allowed him to ask Ashlynn to stay the night. She leans her head back against Brittany's shoulder and yawns. ''I think I am gonna head upstairs.''
Brittany looks at the time and nods. ''It's time to bring you home Ashlynn.'' She breaths out as she stands up with Santana, she smiles as Nicolas helps Ashlynn stand up after he stood up himself and turns to her wife. ''I will drive her down with Nic.''
Santana nods her head walking around the fire and gently runs her hand up Ashlynn's arm with a kind grin. ''It was nice to meet you Ashlynn, I can't wait to watch you kick Pride's asses Friday.''
''Mami likes her.'' Nicolas murmurs as he slides up beside his mommy watching his mami talk to his girlfriend.
''What is not to like?'' Brittany asks softly. ''We can see how much she likes you and how much you like her sweetheart, all we want is for you to have someone who makes you happy and from what we have seen, she does make you happy.''
''She really does mommy.''
''I know sweetheart.'' Brittany murmurs as she kisses his temple. ''Say good night to mami, I am sure she will be fast asleep by the time we are home.'' She breaths out chuckling, she turns to Ashlynn as he runs off to hug his mami and smiles slightly. ''Do you have a favorite car brand?''
''Mustang or Mercedes.''
Brittany hums turning to Nic and winks. ''Nic will show you the car park, pick one of the keys.'' She laughs as her eyebrows raise in surprise and shrugs. ''I am a big fan of nice cars, you will see.''
She walks over to her wife as Nicolas tells Ashlynn to follow him and kisses her softly. ''I will quickly drive them down.'' She murmurs as she pulls out of the kiss.
''Did she say something about her parents.'' Santana asks softly, Brittany shakes her head and sighs.
''Not a word, but from the sound of it, it doesn't seem like they care.'' She smiles sadly as Santana hums in agreement and kisses her forehead. ''We will be back in about twenty minutes, don't stay up.''
''I will take a bath, I will probably still be awake by the time you come back.'' Santana breaths out chuckling, she leans up on her tiptoes and kisses her again. ''Don't drive too fast mi amor, te amo.''
''I love you too, see you in a bit.''
