Even though she'd agreed to it Santana couldn't believe Finn was sitting at the foot of her bed in his pajama pants and tank top feeding one of the babies while she fed the other. Their hospital bracelets had been replaced with the silver ID bracelets that Mike and Matt had gotten them, "Don't hurl on me, that's all I ask." Santana mumbled putting the empty bottle down and adjusting the baby in her arms, she already had the cloth over her shoulder.
"I feel like I'm going to break her." Finn admitted doing the same.
"Same." Santana agreed. "I know I'm tiny and she's tiny but my heart is pounding and I want to throw up."
"Yea." Finn nodded lightly patting the baby's back. "I mean they fit in my hand." he wasn't lying the girls weren't much bigger than his hand.
"Because you're a giant." Santana teased cringing when she heard the loud burp by her ear. "Did she get me?"
Finn chuckled checking the burp cloth, "No."
"Mija that was kind of manly." Santana said continuing to pat the baby's back.
When Finn got a series of small burps he was relieved when Santana promised "You're good and she fell back to sleep."
"I'll put her down and come back for Pinto." Finn said carefully standing.
"I am so telling them you called them that." Santana chuckled switching her hold on the baby to make it easier on Finn when he came back for her.
"You started it." Finn chuckled laying.
"I will totally deny it." Santana chuckled giving a slight wince.
"How long did they say that was going to take to heal?" Finn asked taking Lyla.
"Six weeks, six weeks of bland ass food and no coffee, this is worse than the entire pregnancy." Santana muttered.
"When six weeks is up I will bring you whatever you want." placing Lyla in the bassinette next to Lily Finn covered a yawn. "See you in a couple hours."
"Yep." Santana nodded slowly standing, she told Finn it was something she needed to do on her own to help her heal.
"Deja vu." Santana squinted up at Finn in the low light of her bedroom as they both stood by the bassinets that held the babies.
"Sit, I'll bring her to you." Finn yawned shooing Santana back to her bed where she already had the diapers and premade bottles set out for them.
"Standing's easier for the butt change." Santana said moving over to the bed with him.
"Don't pee on Mami's bed Lima." Finn chuckled at the squirming baby in his hands before placing her in front of Santana. At his height it was easier for him to be on his knees to change them due to the height of Santana's bed, it hurt his back to lean. Turning back he picked up Lyla "Daddy's Pinto Bean." kissing her forehead he placed her on the bed in front of himself, Santana smirked, he was a good dad but then he was a big kid himself.
"I can do this by myself, you have to get up for school in a few hours."
Finn scowled "You'll be doing it on your own enough." Santana said nothing, impressed by the scowl he'd thrown her way. "I want to spend as much time as I can with them, I get you'll have them most of the time since we don't live together and all that but I want them to know I was here as much as I could be. My mom had to do everything herself but you don't have to, you have me."
"I know, I'm sorry," Santana shook her head "I just don't want you to resent this," she gestured at the clock and then the babies. "you know missing out on things because of us."
"I'm not missing out." Finn promised "I did the party thing to be popular, but now I don't care, I have things that mean more to me than partying." he smiled down at the babies before wrinkling his nose "Why is it that color?"
Santana glanced up from her own dirty diaper shaking her head "I really have no idea but Mrs. Rutherford and Mami say it's normal."
"That is sooo not normal." Finn loudly whispered shaking his head at the baby "Green is not normal."
Santana shrugged swapping out the dirty diaper for a clean one quickly rolling the dirty diaper in on itself, Finn followed suit, they were getting faster at changing the babies. Tossing the diapers in the trash they focused on feeding the girls, smiling Finn sang to Lyla while Santana smiled and rocked Lily with the beat. "They like when you sing to them."
"You said they rarely kicked in Glee."
"Only when Schuester rapped." Santana chuckled.
"I like that they like music." Finn admitted "I don't care if they sing."
"Same," shaking her head Santana glanced at the baby in her arms saying "I don't care if they sing, or dance like you, I just want them happy and I want them to be nice."
"I don't know about that." Finn shook his head "Nice gets picked on."
"Roadhouse?" Santana asked questioning "Nice until it's time to not be nice?" Finn tilted his head "You've never seen it?" shaking his head he prepared to be yelled at or lectured. "Movie night, tonight, you're watching it."
"Okay." Finn nodded checking on Lyla's progress. "I hope this means they're gaining weight."
"Hopefully," Santana yawned "as many times as they're eating I'm not gonna be happy if they don't gain a shit ton of weight."
Yawning Finn sat up, he'd surprised Santana the first time by waking up to the noise on the baby monitor, he had it on the nightstand next to the bed, next to his head. Rubbing his eyes he slipped out of the bed shuffling next door to Santana's room. He hadn't seen either of her parents on any of his trips to the room to help Santana but they were there watching from their darkened bedroom door as the young man kept his word and went into the room with Santana and his babies.
Santana already had the diapers, wipes, bottles and burp clothes ready for them. Not bothering to cover the yawn she sat down waiting for him to bring her the baby "This is going to be so much easier when I can have coffee again."
"We can buy you those bottles of the flavored cold coffees to help you when you're at home." Finn suggested. "Good morning again Lima." Finn murmured picking up the fussy baby.
"Those are good." Santana agreed taking the baby from him. "Lily, Mami loves you and our time together but I will love it more when you are sleeping through the night." the baby gave a tired cry. "I get it." Santana nodded placing the baby on the bed. "You're hungry and you smell like pee, I wouldn't be able to sleep if I'd peed myself either." Finn chuckled hearing Santana's conversation as she changed the wet diaper, Maribel had told him when Santana was a baby she'd hated a dirty diaper which made her easy to potty train.
Putting Lyla on the bed Finn kneeled down "Okay Pinto let's do this." he'd been getting better and braver with each diaper change despite feeling like he was going to break her, it helped knowing that Santana felt the same.
"As long as they don't get fussy about eating this goes pretty quick." Santana said cuddling Lily in her arms before grabbing the small bottle.
"True." Finn nodded tossing the dirty diaper into the trash can.
"Mami says we need to start using the one for diapers because it keeps the smell in."
"Did we unbox it?" Finn asked zipping up the red feety pajamas, there were still items in the babies room that hadn't been set up.
"I'll look for it tomorrow." Santana shrugged.
"M'kay." he yawned then apologized seeing Santana yawn as well. "Sorry."
"Not your fault." Santana shook her head yawning again before smirking "Well partly your fault." as she glanced at the baby in her arms. Finn fought back a smile shaking his head, she was getting to where she could joke about it, and for Santana that was a huge step.
