''Now mommy!''
Santana looks up from watching the boys nap and sits up as she watches her wife and son surf towards each other. ''Ash look.'' She murmurs nudging the girl reading a book beside her, she grabs her phone, immediately opening her camera and records the two mastering a quite big wave.
''Holy shit.'' Ashlynn breaths out as she notices them surfing past each other only millimeters between them, Santana laughs as she turns to her with wide eyes and reaches out to pat her hand.
''They are asleep.'' She reassures chuckling.
''When did Nic start surfing?'' Ashlynn asks curiously.
''Almost one year ago?'' Santana asks chuckling. ''Same goes for B, they sometimes hit the wave park in LA too whenever they have the time.''
''Wait so in almost one year, they learned all of this?'' Ashlynn asks pointing to the two surfing down the wave and crossing each other, Santana nods her head and chuckles.
''When they both have something that interests them, they can spend hours doing it.'' She glances at the time and chuckles. ''Now I am interested in some food tho.'' She smiles as Ashlynn giggles and turns to the duo still surfing, she taps the button on her watch knowing it will send a short vibration to her wife's watch.
She covers her mouth to silence her loud laugh as she notices Brittany losing her balance after looking down at her watch in surprise knowing she still has to get used to the new feature on their watches and turns to Ashlynn in amusement as Brittany manages to throw Nicolas off too.
''Well damn.'' Ashlynn laughs out. ''That is one way to call their attention.''
Santana just shakes her head still trying to muffle her laughter and turns back to the water, her eyes widen as she sees Nic and Brittany jogging towards her and jumps up with a squeak. ''No, no, no!'' She squeaks out sprinting away from them not noticing Ashlynn quickly grabbing her phone to record them.
''Seriously?'' Nicolas asks his mommy as they jog beside each other knowing they can easily catch up with his mami, Brittany just rolls her eyes and laughs.
''Chase her to the water?''
''On it.'' She chuckles as he immediately sprints off with speed and jogs after him, she smirks as she hears her wife run off with a girly squeak and quickly sprints towards her as she runs toward the water and immediately notice her mistake.
''No Britt!''
She just jumps forward tackling her wife into the shallow water and holds her nose, she stands back up after making sure she drifted a bit away from Santana and jogs out of the water listening to Nic and Ashlynn's loud laughter.
''Brittany Lopez!''
''Oh mommy, she full named you.'' Nicolas laughs out.
''Yeah I think my back will love the couch tonight.'' Brittany breaths out with a sheepish grin as she grabs a towel, she turns on her heels locking eyes with her wife and smiles cutely. ''And how is the water love?''
Santana just shoots her a hard glare as the teens fail to muffle their laughter and grabs her towel. ''Fuck you.'' She grumbles, she turns to the teens and wipes her face. ''Let's grab the kids and get ready for dinner.''
Brittany's eyebrows raise in surprise as Santana just completely ignores her and rubs her face. ''Well fuck.'' She breaths out as she watches her walk off after scooping Quinton up in her arms, she turns to Nic as Ashlynn follows Santana with Oliver in her arms and turns to Nic. ''Not good.''
Nicolas shakes his head and coughs to cover his chuckle. ''Not good at all mommy.''
''Can you distract her and throw some nice clothes down the stairs?'' Brittany asks with a sheepish grin. ''I need to grab something.''
Nicolas laughs and nods his head. ''I will.'' He kisses her cheek after giving her the phone he carried and jogs over to his mami and girlfriend as his mom walks to the grocery store near their villa, he follows his mami into the house and kisses her cheek. ''It's mommy's pick today and she asked us to dress nicely, let's get ready for dinner mami.''
''Where is your mom?'' Santana asks as she looks around, Nic chuckles and shrugs.
''She had to do something before getting ready.'' He shrugs as she frowns in confusion and gently takes Quinton who is slowly waking up from her. ''Ash and I will get the boys ready too, go get ready mami.''
He turns to his girlfriend as Santana just nods her head and follows her to the room they share with the twins downstairs, he rubs Quinton's back after kicking the door behind him close and chuckles. ''Wake up Hermano's, mommy has an apology dinner planned.''
''Nice clothes?'' Oliver mumbles tiredly, Nicolas nods his head and laughs.
''Nice clothes.'' He confirms.
''What is exactly is an apology dinner?'' Ashlynn asks in amusement after grabbing her favorite red dress, Nicolas turns to her after sending the boys to grab clothes and laughs.
''Mami's favorite food, a restaurant where we all can dance and mom being overly sweet to dodge the dog house.''
''And how often does it happen?'' Ashlynn asks laughing.
''Too often.'' The three boys reply in unison, Oliver giggles as they look at each other and holds up the white button up and black jeans he picked out. ''But mami mostly acts mad.''
''She does.'' Quinton agrees giggling. ''But it's fun to watch mommy go all sweet instead of crazy.''
Ashlynn laughs and pecks Nicolas's lips softly. ''I will quickly change in the bathroom so you all can do your hair after.'' She walks towards the bathroom as he nods his head and pauses turning on her heels. ''Where exactly is your mom now?''
''I have no idea.'' Nicolas breaths out chuckling. ''I think she is grabbing mami's favorite snacks for our movie night tonight.'' He grabs his phone as it beeps and tilts his head as he notices an unread text from his mom. ''Speak of the devil.'' He muses as he taps the text.
From mommy: Is Ash afraid of heights?
He blinks in confusion and looks up. ''Babe are you afraid of heights?'' He shrugs as she shakes her head in confusion and chuckles. ''No idea what she is planning.'' He breaths out as he sends her his answer. ''Alright go get ready Ash, the boys and I will quickly change too.''
He turns to his little brothers as soon as Ashlynn closed the bathroom door behind her and crouches down, he taps Quinton's blue button up and smiles. ''This one is nice, what pants will you wear?''
''These?'' Quinton asks holding up red ones, Nicolas shakes his head and points at the black jeans.
''How about those? I think mommy has something with pictures planned so mami can refresh the ones we have hanging at the house, those will be nice on the pictures.''
''Okay!''
''Can you do my hair Hermano?'' Oliver asks cutely as Nicolas walks over to the closet to grab his own clothes, Nicolas nods his head and turns his head to look over his shoulder.
''Yeah I will style our hairs.'' He tells them with a wink. ''Let's change boys.''
Three and a half hours later.
''Damn that was amazing.'' Santana breaths out as they walk out of the restaurant. ''Where did you find this?''
''Online.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling, she gently runs her hand through Quinton's locks as he walks right beside her and turns to look at her wife. ''I have one more thing planned before we go back.'' She tells her, grabbing her arm before she can hail a cab.
''And what?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Follow me?'' She just asks sweetly flipping the teens off as she hears them snicker, she pushes Ashlynn softly as she hears her fake dramatic gasp and laughs. ''Be quiet nerd.''
''Babe!'' Santana warns laughing. ''Be nice.''
''That was nice.'' Brittany huffs out. ''They are making fun of me.''
''Probably because you are doing some crawling.'' Santana muses, she rolls her eyes as Brittany raises an eyebrow and sighs. ''And yes it's helping, like always.'' She pushes her as she notices the victorious grin before she can hide it and scoffs. ''You are still crashing on the couch.''
''Oooh.''
Brittany turns to their boys as she hears them all gasp playfully and shakes her head. ''Be quiet boys.'' She breaths out chuckling, she turns to her wife and winks. ''And we will see love.''
She leads them towards the beach smiling as she notices her surprise already waiting for them and wraps her arm around Santana's shoulder before she can see it silently motioning her hand to Nic to tell him to cover it.
''What was your only wish last Christmas San?'' She asks. ''The one wish we didn't manage to fulfill due to too much work?''
''Family pictures?'' Santana asks with an eyebrow raised, Brittany nods her head and points at the hot air balloon waiting for them.
''Sunset familia picture?''
''Are you shitting me?''
''Curse jar!'' Oliver and Quinton exclaim in unison, Brittany laughs and shakes her head.
''Not today Angels.'' She tells them softly, she turns to her wife and smiles. ''And that balloon is for us love, I also hired a photographer so we only need to get into that basket and enjoy the sunset.''
''Let's go!'' Nicolas cheers, she laughs as the teens and little boys immediately run over to the basket and turns back to her wife. She holds out her hand and wiggles her fingers with a grin.
''Yes, no?''
''Definitely a yes.'' Santana breaths out a she grabs her hand, she smiles as Brittany easily picks her up to lift her over the basket making sure the tight red dress with black stripes down her sides won't slide up and turns to her after she jumped in herself. ''How did you manage to plan this so fast?''
''I may or may not have dropped your name.'' Brittany whispers with a sheepish grin, Santana laughs and shrugs.
''One it's our name and two.'' She mentions her hand around them as they both hear the burner turn on and smiles slightly. ''It made this possible, so fine by me.''
''Thank god.'' Brittany whispers chuckling, she picks Quinton up as he walks over to them noticing the angst in his stance and kisses his head. ''The burner is always this loud QT.'' She whispers softly. ''Nothing will happen though.''
She tilts her head as he nuzzles his face against her neck with a nod and rubs his back, she glances at Oliver smiling as she sees him cuddled between Nicolas and Ashlynn while they look around and turns to Santana with a sheepish grin.
Santana shakes her head squeezing the hand on Quinton's back and leans up on her tiptoes to kiss her temple. ''Don't feel bad.'' She murmurs softly. ''New things are always scary, but they will forget it the second they notice the view.''
She wraps her arms around Brittany's waist, kissing the back of Quinton's head as he cuddles between them and smiles as Nicolas and Ashlynn walk over to them, the four of them turn around to watch the view and relax into each others arms just enjoying the view and the cuddles they receive from the little boys.
''Ladies, ready for the pictures?'' The photographer asks after an hour and a half of them just enjoying the view and calming the boys down enough so they enjoy the view too, Brittany looks over her shoulder and nods her head.
''We are.''
''Only family pictures or couples and just kids too?''
''The whole package please.'' Brittany replies.
''Very well.'' The photographer replies with a nod. ''Kids first?''
Brittany glances at Nicolas smiling as he just nods his head and steps aside tugging Santana with her, she wraps her arms around her from behind, smiling lovingly as she watches Ashlynn and Nicolas just smile into the camera with the boys between them also wearing big smiles and kisses the back of her head. ''We sure are lucky.'' She whispers softly.
Santana hums in agreement intertwining their hands on her abs and leans her head back against Brittany's shoulder, she smiles as she watches the kids line up from tall to small, Nicolas starting the line and Oli ending it and chuckles as she notices the grimaces they pull. ''I birthed three clowns.''
''Must be the genes.'' Brittany muses, she laughs as Santana shoots her a glare over her shoulder and kisses her temple. ''You know I love our three little clowns love and I also love your crazy moments.''
''You have the craziest moments though.'' Santana breaths out chuckling.
''Mommy, mami come!''
They turn to the kids as Quinton calls for them and walks over as he holds out his hands for them, Brittany scoops Oliver up as he walks over to her and smiles as Santana easily scoops Quinton up.
She places her hand on Ashlynn's shoulder before she can step away and smiles. ''With you too Ash.'' She just tells her softly.
''You can't publish them yet though.'' Ashlynn breaths out worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.
''Did you see how we publish pictures with the twins?'' Santana asks softly, she taps the small of her back as she nods her head and smiles. ''We can do that with your picture too Ash, we will cover your features.''
''Promised?'' She asks carefully, Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly.
''Promised but if you really don't want to, you don't have to kid.''
''No I want to, it's..'' Ashlynn cuts herself off and huffs. ''It's complicated.''
Brittany just tugs her closer and squeezes her shoulder softly after wrapping her free arm around her shoulder. ''No need to explain.'' She murmurs, she smiles as Nicolas slides up behind his girlfriend and slides behind Santana after placing Oliver on her hip.
''Gorgeous family!'' The photographer compliments as he snaps a couple of pictures.
''Mami with sons.'' Brittany announces after placing Oli in Nic's arms, she tugs Ashlynn in her own stepping out of the view and chuckles as she stumbles into her with a soft yelp. ''Easy kid.'' She whispers. ''You okay?'' She asks having noticed her occasionally look down at her phone with a frown during dinner.
Ashlynn nods her head and nervously bites her lip. ''I will be, can we maybe talk after the boys went to bed?'' She looks up at her and gulps thickly. ''The four of us?''
Brittany nods her head and squeezes her hand softly. ''Of course we can.'' She murmurs, she looks up as Santana calls her name and chuckles as she mentions her hand for her to come over.
She walks over pecking her lips as she slips past her so she can take a picture with their boys and scoops Quinton up in her arms, she wraps her free arm around Nicolas smiling as he leans against her and gazes into the camera.
''Damn those eyes.'' Ashlynn whispers as she notices three pairs of sparkling blue orbs and one pair of sparkling brown orbs gaze into the camera. ''You can see all their emotions.''
Santana nods her head and chuckles. ''I am a total sucker for blue orbs, but I absolutely love Oli's hazel brown orbs.'' She breaths out.
''They definitely fit his features.'' Ashlynn agrees. ''He has your skin tone but combined with the blonde hair and dark orbs it's gorgeous, same goes for Quinton, the sparkling blue orbs combined with his tan and dark blonde locks he will be a heart breaker.''
''Let's hope he won't be like his mommy.'' Santana breaths out laughing.
''Hey I was not a heart breaker.'' Brittany protest through a laugh. ''I can't help it that they tried and I blew them off because I only had eyes for you.''
''See heart breaker.'' Santana breaths out chuckling.
''And you?'' Brittany asks with an eyebrow raised, she snickers as she immediately avoids eye contact and hums. ''Pot calling the kettle black San.''
''Mami, mommy we need one more picture of just the both of you.'' Oliver squeaks out as he wraps his arms around his mami's legs, Brittany nods her head in agreement and holds her hand out for Santana after Nicolas stepped aside with Quinton.
''Last picture before we touch the ground love.''
''Smile!'' The boys and teens exclaims in unison the second Santana leans back against Brittany with a smirk, Brittany laughs gazing into the camera as she hears Santana's snicker and intertwines their hands on Santana's abs.
''I love you.'' She whispers softly right after the flash, she locks eyes with Santana as she turns her head to look at her with a loving grin and kisses the tip of her nose not noticing the photographer snapping another picture after Nicolas nudged him while pointing at them.
''I love you too, wifey.'' Santana breaths out with a cheeky grin, she laughs as she watches Brittany's nose scrunch knowing the gorgeous million dollar smile just formed on her lips and cups the back of her neck. ''Proudly so.'' She adds in a whisper after tilting her head back to whisper in her ear.
''I have a lot of amazing pictures ladies.'' The photographer tells them with a kind grin, he holds out a memory card for Brittany and smiles. ''I know you requested to edit the pictures yourself, so here is the memory card.''
''Thank you so much.'' Brittany breaths out handing him a fifty dollar bill, she shakes her head as he opens his mouth to object and smiles. ''I know I already paid for everything, this is for you for making this happen on such short notice.''
''You are very welcome.'' The photographer breaths out with a grin as everyone thanks him, Brittany shakes his hand after the kids all jumped out of the basket and easily picks Santana up.
She smiles as Nicolas slides up to take her from her and jumps out of the basket, she lands beside her wife and looks down as she feels a head immediately land against her thigh. ''Someone is tired.'' She breaths out chuckling as Quinton yawns, she runs her hand through his hair as he just nuzzles his face against her thigh and crouches down. ''Jog around to the house sweetheart, to make sure you won't wake up in the middle of the night.''
''Race to the house?'' Nic offers. ''All of us?''
''What does the winner get?'' Oliver asks cutely.
''The winner picks whatever we will do tomorrow.'' Santana tells them as she takes off her heels.
''Oh you are on.'' Ashlynn breaths out chuckling as she kicks off her sneakers, Brittany just smirks taking Santana's heels from her and shoots her a wink.
''I'm in.''
''On three!'' Quinton squeaks out, they all kneel down so nobody gets a head jump and take off the second Nic yelled 'Go'
Brittany jogs behind the twins as everyone takes off in a sprint and watches her Nicolas and Ashlynn easily overtake Santana. ''Shall mami win?'' She asks them, she chuckles as they nod their heads and smirks. ''Alright.''
She speeds up easily sprinting past her wife, tapping the small of her back to silently tell her to keep her pace and easily overtakes Nicolas, she acts like she loses her footing with a yelp, easily tripping Nicolas up with her legs and grabs Ashlynn's ankle as she tries to jump over her.
Santana laughs loudly sprinting past the laughing teenagers and jumps onto the front porch leading to their villa. ''Mami for the win!''
''Only because mommy cheated!'' Nicolas laughs out.
''Me cheating?'' Brittany asks with a dramatic gasp. ''Never!'' She grunt as the twins jump on top of her and laughs. ''Go to mami quick, second and third winner pick out ice cream and dessert.''
She stands up as they sprint towards the house with a loud squeal and holds out her hands for the teens, she helps them up and chuckles. ''Sorry but I know what she has planned tomorrow, I didn't want to ruin that.''
''Will we like it?'' Nicolas asks chuckling.
''Did you ever not like what we planned?'' Brittany chuckles as he shakes his head and pats his back. ''We always plan things we all like sweetheart, you will love it.'' She tells him as they walk into the house. ''So who's turn is it to read a story or sing?'' She asks loudly.
''Mommy's!'' She laughs pecking Santana's lips as she also replies and winks.
''That's right, say good night and go brush your teeth please.'' She breaths out turning to the twins, she locks eyes with Santana as they rush over to Ashlynn and Nic first and slightly nods her head back. ''Ash wants to talk to us after the boys went to bed, can you make us some comfort snacks and drinks?''
She steps back as she nods her head and smiles lovingly as Quinton and Oliver jog over to hug their mami, she ruffles their hair and smiles. ''I will change quickly and join you in your room.'' She tells them softly. ''Don't forget to brush your teeth.'' She reminds them as she jogs up the stairs to the master bedroom.
She takes out her phone after walking into the bathroom to wipe off her make-up and frowns in confusion as she notices a message waiting for her from Ashlynn, she taps it opening the picture attached and tilts her head with a loving grin as she sees the picture of herself and her wife standing in front of the sunset and gazing into each others eyes with a loving grin.
She exits the chat after thanking her and scrolls through her apps, she taps the Instagram app saved to her phone and taps the button to post a new picture. She uploads it knowing she doesn't have to add a filter and adds the quote that immediately enters her mind, she places her phone down after tagging her wife and grabs the make-up wipes to quickly clean her face and join her family back downstairs to talk with Ashlynn.
