''Mommy?''
Brittany turns on her heels cutting her conversation with Chris off as Quinton tiredly calls for her at his birthday party at Maribel's house and crouches down as he walks over. ''Yes Smiley?''
She hugs him close as he walks into her arms and kisses the side of his head. ''What's wrong sweetheart?''
''I'm tired.'' Quinton murmurs, Brittany smiles standing up with him in her arms and rubs his back.
''Take a nap.'' She whispers as she nuzzles her nose in his blonde locks. ''You woke up pretty early today and we had a busy week.'' She turns back to Chris as he hums tiredly and chuckles as she just watches her with a grin. ''What?''
''Eight years old but still rushing over the second he needs cuddles.'' Chris breaths out chuckling. ''Your back can still hold the weight?''
''Nic and I still carry San, Ash and the twins up whenever they fall asleep on the couch.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''Whenever QT's hyper fit dies down he needs cuddles to feel completely himself, after a power nap he will be back to being his crazy self in no time.''
''How are you handling you own hyper fits?'' Chris asks curiously, Brittany chuckles glancing around at her kids and shakes her head.
''With four kids I currently struggle more with staying awake than being hyper.'' She breaths out chuckling. ''I have them every once in a while, but the second I feel it coming I grab QT and power him out too.''
Chris just hums as they watch the group surrounding the backyard joking around, smiling as she watches her wife sunbathe with Santana and glances at Britt. ''Can I ask you to do me a favor?''
''Depends on what, but you can always ask.'' Brittany replies softly.
''I want to renew mine and Claire's vows but only with the people close to us, would you walk me down the aisle?''
''Of course.'' Brittany replies almost immediately. ''When do you want to do it?''
''Next year summer so we have a bit to plan.'' Chris murmurs. ''Do you think Emilio would be our officiant?''
''I am sure he will, just ask him later.'' Brittany murmurs. ''Any wishes on location?''
''Somewhere private.'' Chris breaths out shrugging.
''How does our house in the Oaks sound?'' Brittany asks with a grin. ''We have a big backyard and I am sure Liv and Nic will help me build an altar, it's private nobody found it till now and after you can use it as a short getaway place while we take Ethan for a weekend.''
''For real?''
Brittany nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah, Ethan loves playing with the boys and having one kid more for a weekend won't be a big difference.'' She breaths out. ''I will make sure I have that weekend off and I am sure San won't mind either.''
''You are the best you know that?'' Chris asks softly as she hugs her tightly making sure not to wake QT. ''Thank you so much B.''
''Anytime Chris, I also still have the drone we used for our vow renewal I can fly it around over our backyard to give you a bird view too.''
''That would be perfect, thanks B.''
''Anytime Chris.'' Brittany whispers as her wife and Claire walk over, she pecks Santana's lips as she wraps her arms around her waist.
''QT out?'' Santana asks chuckling as she peaks at their little boys face comfortably hidden against his mommy's neck, Brittany hums softly and smiles slightly.
''Yeah I think his hyper fit made him crash.'' She breaths out with a chuckle, she adjusts her hold on QT so she is holding him on her hip with one arm and wraps the other around Santana's waist. She kisses her head as she slides even closer and chuckles as she notices Nic holding Oliver and Ash holding Ethan. ''Looks like all kids are powered out.''
''Want to tuck them in?'' Nic asks as he walks up to her, she nods her head stepping away from Santana after Chris nodded her head answering her silent question if they will stay the night and follows Nic and Ash into the house and up the stairs to tuck the boys in.
''Nic?'' She asks as she places QT in his bed watching him place Oli beside him, she bites her lip as he hums and rubs the back of her head. ''I need your and Ash's help with a surprise for your mami.''
''When?''
''Now?''
''What kind of surprise?'' Ash asks curiously, Brittany chuckles leading them out of the room and wraps an arm around Ash's waist as they stop at the top of the stairs. She pulls a golden envelope out of the inside pocket of the blazer she wears and holds it out for Nic so he can take a peak, she smirks as his curious frown turns into a big proud grin and chuckles as Ash gasps excitedly. ''Mami just received her first Oscar invite.''
''Who knows?'' Nicolas asks proudly.
''Only the three of us, tia Ab's doesn't know yet either because Dionne gave it to me.''
''How do you want to surprise her?'' Ashlynn asks curiously.
''I have no idea, do you have any?''
''How does handing her two envelopes sound?'' Nicolas asks grinning, he holds up his finger as Brittany frowns in confusion and jogs over to his room upstairs to retrieve his college acceptance letter.
Ashlynn chuckles as Brittany turns to her in confusion and shrugs. ''Just wait mom.'' She watches her boyfriend jog back to them and smiles as he holds out an envelope for Brittany, Brittany takes it in confusion and slowly takes out the letter after Nic nodded his head.
''No fucking way!'' She gasps out proudly as she reads the college acceptance letter with full scholarship, Nicolas laughs as she hugs him tightly and kisses her temple.
''Coach Jayson brought the letter to school personally and also offered me an immediate position in the basic eleven as long as I keep my grades up.''
''I am so proud of you.'' Brittany whispers as she kisses his forehead. ''Two of my kids will absolutely rock college soccer.'' She pulls back and looks down at the envelope. ''Oh your mami will be so overwhelmed.'' She breaths out chuckling. ''The both of you can hand them over.''
''You sure?''
She nods her head handing Nic the golden envelope and follows them down the stairs. ''Sure am, prepare yourself for loud squeals tho.''
''So like always.'' Ash breaths out laughing, Brittany just hums grabbing a bottle of beer as they walk into the kitchen and follows her teens outside smiling as Nic immediately walks over to his mami after asking his Abuelo to lower the music.
She takes out her phone as he places both envelopes in front of her on the table after announcing that he has two amazing surprises for her and hands Liv her phone. ''Can you record everything?'' She asks softly.
She walks over to her wife and kids as she nods her head with a grin and leans against the back of her chair, she kisses her forehead as she looks up at her in confusion and winks. ''Just open one of them love.'' She murmurs.
She smiles as she grabs the white bigger envelope first and steps back gently pulling her chair back so it won't fly back against her and glances at Nic as he also stands back pushing Ash over to her, she wraps her arms around Ash as Santana takes the letter out and chuckles as a squeal fills the backyard shortly after.
''No fucking way! Mijo!''
She watches with a loving grin as Santana indeed jumps up in a flash and watches her tackle Nic in a hug, she kisses Ash's temple as she just cuddles against her side and rubs her back.
''What happened?'' Maribel asks curiously as she watches her daughter hugging Nicolas tightly and Brittany just watching them with a proud loving grin.
''We will tell you in a few Abuela.'' Nicolas replies as he grabs the golden envelope, he holds it out for her mami after kissing her cheek and smiles. ''Next one mami.''
Brittany walks over to Santana as she opens the envelope smiling as Ash just walks with her and wraps her free arm around Santana's waist as she gasps softly the second she reads the card. ''We need to clear our trophy showcase.'' She whispers as she proudly kisses her shoulder. ''You will bring that award back home love.''
Santana just blinks and turns to Abi. ''You knew?!''
''Knew what?'' Abi asks in surprise as she notices the pure shock in her eyes, Brittany laughs softly and shakes her head.
''Only Nic, Ash and I did.'' she breaths out, she turns to Nic and nods her head.
''Mami just received her first nomination for an Oscar!'' He exclaims grinning.
''And?'' Santana and Brittany ask in unison as everyone jumps up with loud squeals.
''And Nic received a full ride to Cal!'' Ash adds with a grin, Brittany laughs stepping back as everyone sprints over with even louder squeals and pulls Ashlynn back with her as Emilio and Maribel reach her wife and Nic first.
''I know I said often already.'' Ashlynn whispers. ''But I am forever grateful that you and mami took me in, I never knew what a real family is until I met all of you.''
''We are grateful you agreed to our plan.'' Brittany whispers as she kisses the top of her head. ''You are just as much one of our children as our boys are.'' She continues. ''You belong to this family darling and everyone around us thinks so too.''
She smiles as she just hugs her tightly and locks eyes with her wife as she turns to her after everyone hugged her tightly, she walks over as Nic jogs over to hug Ash and dips her head to kiss her softly. ''So, so proud of you love.'' She whispers as she pulls back not noticing Abi snapping a picture of them to share it online while Nic and Ash both hold the invite up with a proud grin. ''It's about time that they nominated you for the Whitney movie, the Dionne one will follow soon too.''
She smiles as she just buries her face against her shoulder knowing she will need a while to let everything sink in and kisses the top of her head, she smiles as everyone sits back down after Emilio exclaimed that they need champagne and sits down beside Nic and Ash with San in her lap as he pulls the chair out for her.
Later that night.
Santana drops down on her back breathing deeply and hums softly as she feels Brittany slide up her body leaving soft kisses all over her abs, she looks down as she feels her warm body covering her own and pecks her lips.
''Is this your way of congratulating me?'' She asks still feeling the aftershocks course through her body.
''No.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling as she nuzzles her face in her neck, she hums softly as she feels Santana's warm body relax underneath her and kisses her pulse point softly. ''This is my way of showing you how proud I am, just like you did after every important match or whatever.''
Santana chuckles wrapping both of her arms around her waist and sighs softly. ''Will you join me to the show?''
''Of course.'' Brittany replies softly. ''With of without our Angels?''
''With?''
''They will love to watch you take that award love.'' Brittany murmurs. ''We will prepare them for the formality of the show.'' She smiles as she hears her hum and leans up, she dips her head to kiss her softly and smiles into the kiss as she feels Santana's hand trail up her spine. ''Round thr..''
''Mommy, mami?''
They both pull back in a flash as Quinton's tired voice filters through the door, a soft knock following right after and looks at each other with wide eyes. Brittany quickly jumps off of the bed as she hears him trying to open the door and grabs a long shirt laying at the end of the bed. ''One second QT.'' She calls out, she slips another shirt over her head after throwing the one she grabbed in Santana's direction and quickly slides on a pair of shorts as Santana leans up to grab the sleeping pants they threw beside the bed earlier.
She unlocks the door after hearing Santana's soft hum her signal that she is ready and crouches down as QT tiredly looks up at her. ''Hey Angel, what's wrong?'' She murmurs as he immediately walks into her arms.
''I had a bad dream, can I sleep with you and mami?''
Brittany hums standing up with him in her arms knowing active days always cause a nightmare during the night and walks over to the bed, she slides in as Santana just raises the cover and lays down on her back.
''Want to talk about your dream QT?'' Santana asks kissing the side of his head, she wraps her arm around his waist as he settles down on top of his mommy with his face buried against her toned shoulder and rubs his back as he shakes his head. ''That bad baby?''
''Just scary.'' QT murmurs cutely. ''Why does that happen?''
''Sometimes our minds are filled with so many things from the day that they all come together during the night and cause us to sleep very restlessly.'' Brittany explains softly as she massages the small of his back. ''It seems scary while everything comes at once, but mostly it's a recap of the day QT.''
She leans her chin on his head as he nuzzles his face against her neck and rubs his back. ''Try to sleep again sweetheart.'' She whispers as she feels him fighting sleep. ''Mami and I will make sure the bad dreams stay away.''
She kisses Santana's head as she feels it land on her shoulder and intertwines their hands on QT's back, she turns her head as she hears the door creak open and chuckles as Oli tiredly walks in. ''Full bed again.'' She whispers in amusement as she feels Santana's soft chuckle, she smiles as she hums leaning over her to pick Oli up and kisses his head as he cuddles between them.
''Te amo mami, amo mommy.'' Oli mumbles tiredly as he almost immediately drops back into dreamland after Brittany tucked him in.
''We love you too boys.'' Santana murmurs as she nuzzled her face back against Brittany's shoulder, she kisses the underside of her jaw as she hears her soft sweet murmur and reaches up to turn of the lights. ''Te amo Britt-Britt.''
''I love you too Santana, good night.'' She squeezes Santana's hand on Oli's back and sighs softly. ''Good night my boys.''
