"Are you sure the seat's in right?" Santana asks her dad.
"I've put a fair share of car seats. Yes, I'm sure." Mario tells his daughter.
She's very nervous as she's bringing Brittany and Chloe home today. Only Maria and Mario are here to help them. Maria had ordered everyone to give them a few days space.
"Don't worry so much." Maio says as Maria wheels Brittany out to the SUV.
"Britt," Santana says rushing over to her.
"We're fine San," Britany says holding Chloe against her chest.
"I just want to get you two home, safe and sound." Santana says biting her lip.
"I'm nervous too," Brittany says grabbing her hand. "But we'll get through this together."
Santana nods, helping Brittany into the backseat. The pair strap Chloe into the car seat.
"Sit back with them." Mario tells Santana. "I'll drive home."
"Thanks," Santana says.
Brittany sits next Chloe with Santana next to her.
"Drive carefully," Maria says.
"I know," Mario says.
When they arrive back at the apartment. Mario goes in first just in case.
"All clear," Mario shouts.
Brittany slowly goes up the stairs, holding Chloe tightly to her. Santana is right behind them. Maria brings up the rear, carrying Brittany's things from the hospital. Brittany stops outside the door.
"Can we go back?" Brittany asks Santana.
"Why? Is something wrong?" Santana asks giving her a worried look.
"What if we do something wrong? At least at the hospital, we're close to doctors." Brittany points out.
"Fuck, you're right." Santana gasps. "I'll have one of our doctors come stay." she decides.
"Would you two go in." Maria says.
"But mami," Santana says trailing off as Maria ushers them in.
"We're not ready to have her home alone." Brittany softly says.
"What if we do something wrong?" Santana says.
"You two will be fine." Maria tells them.
"But-" Santana starts.
"You both know that me and the rest of the family are here if you need it. But you won't need much help, I know you'll do great. This feeling is normal." Maria tells them.
"You really thing so?" Brittany asks.
"Yes I do," Maria says.
"Okay," Brittany says feeling calmer after hearing those words from Maria.
Brittany sits on the couch with Chloe in her arms, gently rocking her back and forth. Santana is hovering unsure of what to do but wants to be there just in case she's needed.
"Here San," Brittany says putting Chloe in Santana's arms.
"What the-" Santana starts stunned as Brittany gets up, leaving her alone.
Brittany knows her wife is nervous but will be amazing with their daughter. Plus she needs to pump since Chloe is still sleeping and not hungry.
"How's she doing?" Maria asks.
"More nervous than me." Brittany says. "She doesn't realize that she's a great mom."
"Mario was the same when Antonio was born. It took him a while to realize he was a great dad." Maria says.
Brittany grabs the pump from the kitchen and takes it to the bedroom. Once she finishes pumping, she puts the bottles in the fridge and goes back in the living room.
"We love you very much baby girl." Santana whispers to Chloe who is staring up at her.
Brittany leans on the wall as she watches her wife and daughter.
"I'll always protect you baby girl. I'll never let anyone hurt you or your mom." she tells her. "You and her are my world."
Santana is cradling Chloe who yawns and falls back asleep.
"You're our world too." Brittany says sitting next to her.
"You heard that," Santana asks as Brittany leans against her.
"Yes, and that is why you will be a great mom. I know with you we will always be safe." Brittany says.
"I'm still nervous, but holding her, I know that I'd do anything for her." Santana says kissing Brittany.
"I'm nervous too." Brittany says. "But we can handle this together."

That first night, neither of them sleeps much, too worried about Chloe and wanting to watch her. But with how tired they are the next day; it doesn't go beyond that first night.
"My mami was right, we should sleep when she does." Santana says yawning.
"Go take a nap," Brittany says seeing how much more tired her wife is.
"What about you?" Santana asks.
"I'm good till later." Brittany reassures her.
"Okay," Santana says heading back to the master.
Chloe starts to whimper.
"Come on little one, I'll feed you." Brittany says picking her up.
"Do you need anything?" Maria asks coming over to Brittany who has just sat down.
"No, I'm just going to feed her." Brittany says as Maria sits next to her.
"I'm surprised that San's not here." Maria says helping by giving Brittany a pillow.
"I set her for a nap. You were right about sleeping when she sleeps." Brittany says.
"Your in for some sleepless nights, but it's worth it." Maria tells her.
"I know," Brittany says switching boobs. "She eats a lot."
"San was the same way always eating so much." Maria says.
Yawning, Brittany burps Chloe before settling her into the pillows.
"Go sleep, I'll watch her." Maria says.
"We should-"
"Take the sleep now, you'll need it for later." Maria says.
"Thanks,"
Britany heads to the master and snuggles into her wife, falling asleep instantly.
Across town, Antonio is meeting Mario to go over the new gun and drug load that just came in. It's normally Santana's job but she's still out for another week so Mario decided to do it instead.
"How are they doing?" Antonio asks, waving his dad over.
"Nervous wrecks, but they made it through the night." Mario says.
"That was true of all of us." Antonio says smiling.
"Christina wasn't, but she's always had mothering instincts just like your mom." Mario says smiling. "Though I've been impressed with how much your sister has grown and stepped up for her family since Brittany got pregnant. She's a great mom."
"I know, Brittany has brought out the best in her." Antonio agrees.
The two men continue to double check everything as they talk about the newest Lopez baby.
"Chloe is going to be a heartbreaker when she's older." Antonio says.
"And we'll be breaking bones." Mario says.
Lopez men are very protective of their daughters, nieces, and granddaughters.
"I can imagine Brittany will have something to say about that. We all married fierce women who are great moms." Antonio says chuckling.
Back at the apartment, Santana wakes up from her nap to find her wife asleep behind her. She slowly gets up so as not to wake Brittany and heads to the living room.
"Shh, she's still sleeping." Maria whispers seeing her daughter.
Santana checks on her none the less before sitting next to her mom.
"Thanks, mami," Santana says.
"You don't have to thank me; I enjoy watching my grandkids." Maria says.
Brittany comes shuffling out before Santana can reply just as Chloe starts crying.
"I've got her Britt," Santana says picking Chloe up. "You can go back to sleep."
"She's hungry," Brittany says pulling her boob out.
"How did you know?" Santana asks.
"I just had a feeling." Brittany says yawning.
Santana stares in awe as her wife feeds their daughter.
"Here, I'll burp her." Santana says once Chloe is done. "Go back to sleep."
Brittany nods, handing Chloe to Santana, shuffling back to the master. Santana burps her before cradling her in her arms.
"Britt's such a natural mom." Santana says to her mom.
"You're a great mom too. You're very attentive to Chloe." Maria tells her.
"Thanks, mami,"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A week later, Santana has to go back to work. She doesn't want to leave Brittany and Chloe though her job isn't nine to five so she's able to spend a lot of time with her family.
"Mami, what are you doing here?" Santana asks walking into the kitchen to see her wife and mom sitting at the kitchen table.
"I came to see my granddaughter and Brittany." Maria says.
"We'll be fine, you go do what you have to." Brittany tells her wife.
Santana stares as Brittany and her mom go back to talking as Chloe sleeps in Maria's arms.
"What am I chopped liver." Santana whispers to herself as she heads out.
Both women had heard her and start laughing especially once the door closes.
"That's my daughter." Maria says chuckling.
"She's a loveable gobber." Brittany adds.
Chloe wakes up and stares at them a slight frown on her face.
"I have a feeling; you're going to have your hands full with this one. She's getting a lot of San's mannerisms." Maria says.
"I think it's cute." Brittany says.
"You won't when she's older." Maria says.
The pair take Chloe into the living room so they can start scrapbooking.
"This is a great idea." Brittany says.
"You'll enjoy it especially when she's older." Maria says.
As they scrapbook, Santana is across town meeting up with her dad, brothers, and sisters. They are having a meeting about the different areas of the business.
"Good morning, so glad to have all of you here." Maria says smiling at his kids.
"Too happy dad." Christina says.
"Yeah, tone it down." Amelia adds.
"Sorry, I'm so happy about another grandchild." Mario happily says.
"You always adore your granddaughters." Christina says shaking her head.
"It's the females in the family." Diego complains.
"Don't whine," Mario says.
"Can we hurry up; I want to get home as soon as possible." Santana says.
"Of course," Mario says. "Let's hear your reports."
"The drug trade has been going smoothly. It will be nice to have Santana back." Antonio says starting things off.
"Same with the guns, and Santana." José agrees.
Christina and Amelia roll their eyes at their brother.
"Good, and it is nice to have San back." Mario agrees.
"Tech wise, we've had no issues. All cameras and alarms are working and we've had no firewall breeches." Diego says.
"We've had a couple personal issues on Wednesday, but it's been handled and back to running like a well-oiled machine." Christina tells them.
"What would we do without you." Mario says happy with his daughter.
"You'd all be lost." Christina says.
"The club and strip club are bringing in bank and cleaning the money. No raids." Amelia says. "Now San, tell us about your baby girl." she says to her sister.
"She's tiresome, but worth it. Britt is great with her." Santana starts gushing. "We're very happy."
"Speaking of your daughter, I'm going to go see her." Mario tells them. "You're all dismissed. Keep up the great work. Santana, I need you to go with Amelia to the strip club. We have a big chunk of cash coming in."
"We'll handle it dad." Amelia says wrapping her arm around her sister.
Mario heads to the apartment, excited to see his granddaughter.
"Ladies," Mario says as he walks in.
"Just in time to change Chloe," Maria says handing her to him.
"Come on little princess." Mario says taking her into the nursery.
"He doesn't have to do that." Brittany says.
"Don't worry about it. That little baby is going to have him wrapped around her finger." Maria says. "He loves being a grandpa."
"She's going to be one of the most protected girls ever." Brittany says loving it.
"Why don't you go find Santana and spend some time together. We can watch Chloe until you get back." Maria says.
Brittany doesn't want to leave Chloe but also wants to go.
"You've pumped several bottles if she gets hungry. Go enjoy some grownup time with your wife." Maria says.
"She's at the strip club!" Mario shouts having overheard some of the conversation.
"What!" both women shout.
"Her and Amelia are clearing cash." Mario says to calm them down.
Brittany with this knowledge decides that she's going to go see Santana even though she'll have to leave Chloe.
"Be good baby girl." Brittany says to Chloe even though she doesn't understand. "Call if anything-"
"Don't worry, just go make sure your wife isn't getting in trouble." Maria says.
Brittany has one of the guards drive her since she's never been to the strip club. She's not worried about Santana cheating, but doesn't trust other women to not try stuff. At least Amelia is there to help as Santana is just awkward when people hit on her.
"Here we are Mrs. Lopez." the guard says.
Brittany opens her mouth to say she's not Mrs. Lopez but Mrs. Pierce, but doesn't end up saying anything. They've all been calling her that since the marriage.
"Do you need me to come in too?" the guard asks not wanting to get in trouble.
"I'll be fine." Brittany says walking toward the doors.
The door guy is about to stop her, when a honk from the guard in the SUV stops him. Brittany walks in and is greeted by a sight that sends her jealously flaring. Santana is at the bar trying to talk to the bartender, but some stripper is hitting on her, touching her arm.
"You're really hot and a boss." the stripper says batting her eyelashes.
"I'm happily married." Santana nervously says unsure of what to do.
"What she doesn't know-"
"Hi San!" Brittany loudly says walking over and pulling Santana into a deep kiss.
Santana is so stunned her wife is here, but has a goofy smile on her face when they break apart.
"You can leave," Brittany tells the stripper.
"She'll be coming to me when she gets bored of you." the stripper growls.
Brittany just laughs at this, not even needing to reply.
"Spice beat it." Amelia says having come in at the same time as Brittany.
Santana loops her arm around her wife. "What are you doing here Britt and where is Chloe?" she asks.
"Your mom and dad are watching her and your mom sent me. She thought we could use a few hours of adult time." Brittany says.
"And you both heard we were at the strip club." Amelia adds.
"I wasn't worried about you straying. I worry about what others will try." Brittany says biting her lip.
"You don't have to worry, I'm all yours. But jealous you is really hot." Santana says kissing her.
"Get out of here horndogs." Amelia says.
"What about-" Santana starts.
"We're practically done, I can finish the rest. Enjoy a few hours alone." Amelia says.
"Thanks," Brittany says dragging Santana out.
"Babe," Santana says before Brittany's lips are on hers.
They make out for several minutes before finally breaking apart.
"Wow," Santana says looping her arms around her wife. "What was that for?"
"I hate that someone was hitting on you." Brittany says. "You're mine."
Santana's eyes light up at hearing this. "You're jealous."
"What are you talking about?" Brittany says looking away.
"You were so jealous." Santana gleefully says.
"I was not," Brittany says.
"I can't believe you were jealous. I only have eyes for you." Santana says kissing her.
"I don't like when others hit on whats mine." Brittany says.
"I'm all yours," Santana says walking her over to the truck. "Let's go see our baby girl."
"I so wish I was cleared for sex." Brittany says so turned on.
"Me too babe," Santana says gulping as she tries to keep herself from getting hard.
