I apologize for taking so long, medical and internet issues delayed me
"Mami my back hurts."
That was the phrase that started it all, Santana was in labor early.
Santana was not happy, she wasn't feeling any pain, but she wasn't happy. In order to get the 'no pain' they gave her a spinal tap, something she would later tell the other girls hurt like hell and felt like the needle was jabbing all the way through her body, she'd also called Finn a fucker even though he wasn't in the room with her yet. Her arms out to her sides she lay on her back, "How are you doing Miss Lopez?"
"I feel like a lower case t." Santana muttered.
"I mean your breathing, please concentrate on your breathing." the nurse smiled.
Inhaling Santana exhaled blowing at the blue paper sheet in front of her. "Where is Finn?"
"They are getting him ready, we had to find a larger set of scrubs." the nurse explained.
"Santana? Whoa." Finn hurried to the seat the nurse pointed to.
"You can sit here." the nurse gestured to where he could sit and see the procedure.
"No thank you." Finn scooted closer to Santana. "They wrote on you with marker by your, you know."
Santana chuckled, it was weird not being able to feel her body move "It's so they know where to cut."
"Don't they already know that?" Finn asked slightly panicked.
"Alright you are going to feel pressure Miss Lopez and nothing more, Mr. Hudson would you like..."
"Nope." Finn shook his head staying right where he'd rolled.
Santana wrinkled her nose, she could feel pressure but she could also smell, Finn's eyes went wide he'd smelled it too "It's just a laser, it's just as safe as the scalpel." Santana promised.
"But that's..."
"Burning flesh." Santana gave a slight nod before blowing on the blue sheet by her face.
"How about now, still just pressure?"
"Yes." Santana spoke to the blue paper sheet before blowing on it again. "Did you see Brittany before you came in?"
"Yea she's with our parents, and Quinn's here too." Finn said hoping that would make her feel better. "And your grandma."
"Okay." Santana nodded because that was all she could really do before whispering to Finn. "This feels weird as fuck. I can't feel anything but the pressure keeps changing where it is."
"Are we ready?" Santana tilted her head to see the doctor peaking at her, Finn turned his chair. "I'm going to show you the babies real quick before I hand them to the nurses okay? Dad do you want to cut the cord?" Santana knew he was talking softly and over friendly like to help keep her and Finn calm but it made her nervous. Wide eyed Finn shook his head. "I understand." the doctor nodded to Finn, after a moment he announced "Okay then, here we go, baby girl number one." he showed them the baby before handing her over to the waiting nurse, it was only a few moments before he said "And baby girl number two." handing her over as well he explained before ducking back out of Santana's sight "Give them a few minutes to clean them up and we'll bring them back over, you can take pictures then."
"You have your phone?" Santana asked Finn.
"Yea, the nurse told me to bring it." Finn nodded.
Bringing the babies back one nurse handed Finn one and the other was laid on Santana's chest "I can take the picture." Finn nodded his arms locked in place he held the baby in his arms but wasn't moving, the nurse took the phone from his hand.
"She's so little." he whispered to Santana. "They both are."
"At least they have hair." Santana glanced from the baby on her chest to the one in Finn's arms.
Taking a few photos she slipped it back in his hand before taking the baby back. "You can come with us while doctor finishes up in here." the nurse gestured for Finn to follow her and the other nurse who had the other baby.
The adults were reading the magazines while Quinn and Brittany were on their phones, Brittany playing games while Quinn was texting the others. Quinn to Mercedes: I already said no, I will let you know, shouldn't you be in class
Mercedes to Quinn: It's boring, they're going over what we learned last year
Quinn to Mercedes: Suck it up
Mike to Quinn: I have your homework for the day
Quinn to Mike: Thank you baby
Quinn to Puck: Don't forget history study with Artie
Puck to Quinn: right after football practice
Quinn was happy the phone call came before she put on her Cheerios uniform, she and Brittany were both in their regular street clothes with no plans to attend school for the day.
Quinn to Coach: Santana's having the babies we're at the hospital with her, we'll be there for practice
Coach to Quinn: I expect photos of my future Cheerios
Quinn to Coach: Of course
Brittany sighed leaning her head on Quinn's shoulder, slipping her arm around Brittany's waist she let pulled the taller blonde closer promising "They gave her a pain killer, she's not feeling a thing."
"Okay." Brittany nodded.
When the door opened the group immediately got to their feet seeing it was Finn. "Everybody's good," he promised "they wanna give us time with the babies before anyone comes back." pulling out his phone he found the picture holding it up, his mom and Santana's parents and Alma crowded around him to see their grandchildren. "They have hair." he grinned at Quinn. "I have the measurements in my phone, so I don't get them mixed up."
When they gave him room to move Finn walked over to the girls showing them the photo, Brittany squealed bouncing and hugging Finn which of course caused Quinn to chuckle. "I'll let the others know."
"I'll get a different picture to send to everyone." handing his phone to Quinn he asked "Can you copy and paste? My fingers are too big."
Nodding Quinn copied and pasted the babies stats into a blank text before sending it to herself. "I'll let the group know you just focus on Santana. I'll tell them no more visiting today to give you guys time." Quinn handed his phone back.
"Thanks Quinn, just tell them I said I want Santana to rest today." giving everyone a hug Finn went back to the babies and Santana. "I'll come get you guys when they say we can have visitors."
She hadn't read the measurements when she copied and pasted for Finn but when her phone pinged she smiled and read them to the group. "Lily Christine is 15 inches, 5 pounds and 11 ounces with dark brown hair and Lyla Anne is 15 inches. 5 pounds and 8 ounces also with dark brown hair."
To save time Quinn sent the text to the Glee club, typing out some of it Quinn copied and pasted their descriptions Quinn to Glee: Lily Christine is 15 inches, 5 pounds and 11 ounces with dark brown hair and Lyla Anne is 15 inches. 5 pounds and 8 ounces also with dark brown hair. Mom and babies are fine, no visiting today, Finn wants Santana to rest today
Putting her phone on silent Quinn waited for it to explode, it didn't take long, Brittany frowned as the notifications interrupted her game.
Mercedes to Glee: Where is a photo of my babies
Quinn to Glee: When I get one I will share.
The rest of the Glee club sent their congratulations and as it was a Glee club text Finn and Santana received them too
Finn to Glee: Thanks
Santana to Glee: Thank you and Wheezy after our parents see them.
Santana was tired, she knew it was the surgery and medication, Finn was sleeping in the chair by the window, the nurse was checking the babies, the only time they had left her room was for testing and it was with nurses she knew. They were also checking on her, she was stuck on an IV pain killer, she was to push the button if the pain got too bad, joke was on them, thanks to Sue she had a habit of ignoring pain. The group had only stayed with them for a few hours of visiting before her father kicked everyone out. Finn got to stay because they were his babies but Quinn and Brittany knew Mr. Lopez meant them, school was out so they were just going to head to Cheerios practice.
"Send photos, I want to see the Cheerios cry, oooh maybe the new football players." Santana requested when Quinn hugged her, laughing Quinn kissed Santana's forehead before also kissing both babies. Brittany pouted as she lightly kissed Santana on the lips "Come on B, we have to help Tina and protect her from Bree."
"Such a bitch." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Santana!" Brittany gasped before Luis and Maribel did chiding Santana "Not in front of the babies."
"Sorry sweetie." Santana mumbled, her father smirked while her mother laughed.
"Well it seems we're not the only ones that do not appreciate the swearing" Maribel grabbed her purse "Sweetie we will stop by in the morning, girls we'll walk out with you."
Blowing the babies kisses Brittany grabbed her purse, Quinn being Quinn checked that Brittany had everything. "We'll bring Mike and Matt afterschool tomorrow." Quinn promised knowing Santana would want to see the boys.
The Changs and Mrs. Rutherford had popped in after the others left and after asking if Santana was up for visitors. Santana being Santana had sent Mike and Matt pictures of their parents holding the twins. To the group she sent a photo of Finn with both babies, she looked like crap and didn't want to send the picture that Finn took of her with the babies, their parents and Quinn also took pictures with the babies and of Finn and Santana each holding one. She'd sent Sue the one with Finn holding the babies, to which she received the text back of 'Good job, now get your ass back in shape before Singing Asian throws up on the other girls, though that would be quite entertaining'
Because Carole was making Finn go to school, while Santana was still in the hospital for the next few days Alma had volunteered to help with the twins during school hours, so manned with photos of the babies Finn begrudgingly left to go home when visiting hours were over. Lifting one of the babies Finn kissed her putting her back in the bed "Be good Lima." Santana gave a tired snort when he picked up the second baby saying "You too Pinto." before kissing her forehead and putting her back in her bed.
"Who's Lima?"
"Lily, she's older." Finn said carefully, he wasn't sure what Santana was going to call them but it just made sense to him to keep calling them what he had during pregnancy. Santana yawned nodding "I'll bring your homework tomorrow."
"Yay." Santana cheered sarcastically.
Finn chuckled before seriously asking "Can I bring Rachel tomorrow?"
"I was surprised you didn't call her to the hospital today." Santana said honestly.
"She... she was very excited, I didn't want her tiring you out." Finn knew Santana could only take so much of Rachel and had a lot of trouble with a hyper Rachel.
"Slip her valium." Santana chuckled regretting it instantly her hands both shooting to close to where her incision was "Ohh. No laughing, laughing is bad."
"Push the button." Finn nodded to the IV.
"It's fine." Santana shook her head.
She knew it was him, she knew the second the nurse came in asking about her pain level and making her push the button, she knew Finn had narced on her to the nurses.
