Maribel was surprised at the amount of teenagers in her house, not to mention the two boys she didn't recognize. "Sam, Shane this is my Abulea Alma Lopez and my mami Maribel Lopez." Santana gestured to the two women in the kitchen. "Abulea, Mami this is our new quarterback Sam Evans and new lineman Shane Tinsley."
"Ma'am." Shane offered his hand to Alma who eyed the large boy but slowly took his large hand shaking it. "Santana and the team speak highly of your cooking, I hope one day to taste it for myself." Santana smirked at her grandmother's sudden smile. Sam shook Alma's hand following as Shane then shook Maribel's, "Santana speaks highly of your work ethic, and I want to personally thank you for changing our doctors to ones who actually care." Maribel nodded and smiled. Sam just smiled not knowing what to say.
"We're going to clear the room and make space in mine for the crib." Santana gave the boys a gentle shove towards the others.
"They're very nice boys." Kurt promised staying in the kitchen with Alma and Maribel. Rachel had showed up a few minutes before they all did, Finn had asked Santana at breakfast if Rachel could help, and Santana couldn't say no because Brittany was helping. Rachel had taken charge of clearing the guest room, Santana was amused and surprised to see the diva ordering the group around for something other than Glee club. Quinn and Brittany were in her room with Finn moving things around for the crib.
Artie was packing the shelf with Tina, it was where Rachel had put them, Puck was taking apart the bed while Mike and Matt getting ready to take the mirror off the dresser. Santana missed the blinking "Oh my." Rachel did at the sight of Shane.
"Rachel this Shane." Mercedes said taking his elbow and guiding him to the other shelf Rachel had her working on.
"And you are?" Rachel asked Sam.
"Sam Evans, quarterback." he said shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Okay, you can start by taking the dresser drawers down stairs to the garage and then you can help with the shelves." Rachel pointed him where she wanted him to go. While both boys were still in the room Rachel asked "Do either of you boys sing? I'm co-captain of the New Directions, we're Mckinley's Glee club."
"Just to my brother and sister." Sam said grabbing the drawers and heading out the door, Shane just shook his head.
"You boys should get him to try out, the more football players we have the less likely they are to slushie us." Rachel chirped.
"The stick heads don't care." Puck shook his head.
"Why aren't we painting in here?" Santana glared at Quinn as she took the posters from the wall they were going to put the babies on. "It's very dark."
"No." Santana shook her head letting Brittany rub her neck, she was fighting another headache. "This is a pit stop, they get their room, this is mine, it stays this color."
"But it's dark and gloomy." Quinn gestured around to the darkly painted walls. "I mean look at my baby, she's depressed." Quinn gestured to the play pen next to the bed.
"She's not depressed, she's sleeping and Finn brought posters," Santana shook her head "that's why your taking mine down they get that whole area, both walls." Brittany scowled hearing Finn's name again, the boy was sitting on the floor with the crib pieces.
"It was all Brittany," Finn said shaking his head but concentrating on the directions in his hand, Brittany straightened up looking over Santana's shoulder at the boy "she mentioned wanting to lighten up the Beans area of your room, she said you didn't like those pretty posters but would be okay with superheroes. She told me which ones she was going to get you so I picked them up for her when I picked up a couple comics for Rachel." he shrugged picking up one of the pieces to compare it to his list.
"That's so sweet B."
"It really is sweetie." Santana turned her head catching Brittany on the cheek with a kiss, Brittany frowned she'd hadn't given Finn money.
"But I didn't buy them." Brittany shook her head. "Finn did."
Finn heard it, he wasn't sure how he would describe the tone but he knew she was mad at him, looking up from the crib parts and directions Finn spoke directly to Brittany "You've been busy watching over Santana and our babies, I'm lucky Santana and the babies have you, I thought I'd save you a trip."
"But..."
"B it's like what Finn did for Puck and now does for Mike, buying me snacks and stuff and Puck would pay him back and now Mike does, but Finn is sweet enough to grab them on his way to school because he lives closer to the shop. He's not making moves on Santana."
"God no!" Finn squeaked horrified "She's your girlfriend Brittany, I wouldn't do that to you."
"Oh." Brittany blushed whispering. "Sorry I was mean to you, I got afraid when you kissed her this morning."
"I kissed her?" Finn squinted confused running his mind over the event of the morning before realizing what Brittany was talking about. "I'm sorry Brittany, I didn't realize I did that, I won't do it again.""
"Okay, I'm sorry I was mean to you."
"It's okay," Finn promised, if ignoring him was Brittany's mean he could handle it with no problem. "The way you take care of Santana I know you'll be a good mom to the babies."
"Really?"
"Really." he nodded.
"Money's in my purse." Brittany chirped
Santana smiled at Brittany's sudden switch in demeaner towards Finn, the blonde was happily humming as she worked the knots out of Santana's neck and shoulders getting a satisfied hum from the Latina. Quinn patted the top of his head murmuring "Good boy." which got a chuckle from him and Santana.
Hearing a panicked "Please be careful." from Rachel the group hurried to the door, Quinn helped Brittany pull Santana to her feet, Finn shook his head amused at how tiny Rachel looked standing next to Shane who was holding a shelf in his hands.
"Don't jinx him Rachel." Puck shook his head. "Let the big man do his thing, come on, order Artie around." Puck tugged the little diva back into the room, sticking his head back out Puck looked at Matt "Seriously spot him."
"I got him." Sam offered from the bottom of the stairs..
"Oh hell no." Santana shook her head, "One fall would take out our chance at any kinda season, someone else spot him."
"I got him." Finn promised, Santana frowned "I can just grab his jersey, he starts to fall I'll pull him back." Finn promised "Then I'll come back and finish the crib."
"Don't hurt yourself." Santana said softly before tugging Brittany back into the room mumbling "I'm tired."
"Not much longer Ducky." Quinn leaned kissing the top of Santana's head as Brittany tucked the Latina in bed next to her. "B nap with her I'll handle the room okay?"
"Okay." Brittany nodded opening her arms so Santana could snuggle to her side, Santana did exactly that, she was always the little spoon when they cuddled her head resting on Brittany's shoulders she closed her eyes.
Quinn shushed Finn when he came back into the room, giving a quiet chuckle he pulled out his phone quickly taking a picture. "Santana's gonna kill you." Quinn softly sang, but it was still loud enough to make Santana open her eyes.
"I'm not hurt. Finn promised holding up his phone. "I just took a picture and I'm going to send it to you."
"Okay." Santana yawned closing her eyes and snuggling close to the already sleeping Brittany, she knew Brittany was sleeping because of the light snore in her ear.
They didn't wake her until the posters were up and the crib was in place complete with it's bedding, mobile and soothing toy attached to the railing. Finn was extremely proud of himself and Quinn could see Rachel staring at him wistfully from the door. "It's beautiful, thank you." Santana sobbed burying her face into Brittany's neck, the blonde was used to a crying Santana, she was the only one that could really comfort her.
"It's like drunk Santana." Mercedes whispered to Shane before going to join the girls on the bed, Quinn had taken the spot by Santana's feet and was gently rubbing one of Santana's legs, she knew it wasn't Brittany's because of the length difference.
"You're so nice doing all this stuff for me and I'm such a bitch." Santana sniffled taking the tissue Mercedes offered.
"Yes but you're our bitch." Mercedes reminded kissing Santana's temple.
"I'm sorry I have a girlfriend." Santana managed a weak smirk but continued to sniffle, Mercedes chuckled.
"You wish."
"Everything's out of the other room, so we should probably get going." Sam pointed nervously to the door.
"Nobody leaves, I have not been slaving in a kitchen all morning so you can leave." Kurt informed his from behind the group, Santana couldn't see him but then Shane was in the doorway while the others were in her room. "Beans and rice Satan."
"Ooh..."Santana squirmed demanding "Someone better help my ass." when she had trouble moving. "Whoo!" She was surprised when two very large hands picked her up under the armpits like one does a child they're afraid to touch. The other girls had already scrambled off the bed when Kurt said food, except Mercedes who just watched as Shane carefully lifted Santana and placed her on the floor. "Thank you Shane." Brittany eyed the big man confused, the boys kept touching her girlfriend.
"These baby hormones got her all outta wack." Puck shook his head "Thankin' people and shit." Santana glared at him punching his chest, he chuckled at the weak hit, grabbing Brittany's hand Santana quickly waddled for the door.
"Come here daddy's girl." Puck picked Beth up cuddling her to his chest, handing him the blanket Quinn smiled at his tenderness.
Santana was already digging into her plate by the time the others reached the dining room, Puck had deposited the still sleeping Beth into the playpen in the living room "So this is where you were hiding instead of lugging boxes?" Puck glared at Kurt. "Hiding in the kitchen with the women...oww...ow...ow."
"You leave him alone Noah Puckerman." Kurt couldn't help but smirk as Alma Lopez had grabbed Puck by his ear and pulled him down to her height. "Now you thank him for food and get in line for a plate." Alma ordered releasing him.
"Yes Ma'am." Puck rubbed his ear "Sorry Kurt."
"At least it wasn't your nipple again." Tina piped up.
"I know," Puck mumbled "Have you seen the bruise?" he asked, without getting an answer he lifted his shirt showing his well toned abs and one bruised nipple to Tina.
"Noah we don't need to see that in my dining room." Luis shook his head.
"Sorry sir." dropping his shirt he grabbed a plate lining up behind Finn.
"I should go." Shane gestured to the front door.
"Grab a plate young man." Alma pointed to the plates.
Seeing the scowl from the older woman Shane swallowed "Yes Ma'am." nodding he stepped behind Finn.
The boys ditched for the backyard and picnic table after grabbing their plates while the girls and Kurt stayed in the dining room, Quinn had packed Santana's bag for the spend over with Brittany, back before she was pregnant she would have just borrowed Brittany's clothes, she still had some of Brittany and Quinn's clothes in her closet from wearing them. "We should have a Glee girl spend over." Mercedes suggested. "And Kurt." she added hearing his hurt gasp.
"I'll ask mom." Brittany squealed excitedly grabbing her phone out of her pocket and moving away from the table.
"She'll say yes, you should all just go pack after we eat." Quinn chuckled.
"My dad says it's okay as long as all the other parents are okay with it." Kurt said gathering all the plates.
Santana couldn't help herself, she smirked "Ma, can I go to a spend over with Kurt? It's not like he can knock me up." Santana laughed when Alma smacked her arm.
"Don't be crude."
"Sorry Abulea." Santana couldn't help but chuckle.
"I can see you are not." Alma pointed at her.
"She's very sorr...stop laughing San." Brittany swatted Santana forearm when she saw Santana biting her lip to stop herself from smiling and laughing at her grandmother's reaction.
Alma rolled her eyes joining Kurt at the sink. "Go pack, I have this."
"The other parents..."
"Mine said yes." Mercedes piped up, Kurt liked Mercedes parents, they didn't judge him, Quinn or Santana they just practiced and preached love.
"Pack your gear, first practice is in the morning." Quinn reminded.
"I'm gonna die." Tina dropped her head on the table, reaching out Mercedes patted the younger girl's shoulder "They're gonna drop me."
"They drop you and they're off the team, per Sue, anything happens to you and the ones responsible are kicked off the team."
"Really?" Tina lifted her head.
"Really." Quinn promised.
