Chapter 60: Progressions
Brittany's POV
*Monday 15th April 2024*
Santana, the kids and me are having some quality family time together right now. The kids have been with us all day but we haven't really had a chance to spend that much time with them because Santana and I were doing some work this morning. I watched the kids for a few hours while Santana did what she needed to do and then she watched the kids for a while as I did some work so now we're all having that time for all of us to hang out together. It's been pretty chilled out so far as we all play with some of the toys the kids have.
"Jax, what are you doing buddy?" I ask my son as he pulls threads out of the living room rug.
"Inside grass" Jaxon replies giggling.
"It's not inside grass babe" Santana says amused to Jaxon.
"I know you like pulling out the grass at grandma's house but you can't do it here Jax. Mommy and I don't have real grass outside and inside rugs aren't grass either" I tell Jaxon.
"Ok" Jaxon nods his head.
"Why don't you play with us and Xavier right now because Xavier wants to play with the toy trucks?" I suggest.
"Ok, mommy. I play" Jaxon smiles at me.
"Ok, what truck do you want buddy?" I ask Jaxon.
"Blue" Jaxon says as he picks up the blue truck and we all begin playing together for a while. It's not until I turn my attention to Xavier that I notice out of the corner of my eye, Jaxon not doing what he's supposed to be doing.
"Jaxon Pierce, stop pulling the threads" I tell my son seriously as he starts pulling on the rug again.
"Um…"
"You thought I didn't see you but I did so please stop" I tell him.
"Jax, come over here buddy" Santana says as she opens up her arms for him.
"Play" Jaxon replies.
"You can still play buddy but why don't you go and sit with mommy while you play" I tell my son.
"Yeah Jax, come over here" Santana says again.
"Jax" Xavier says pointing to his brother.
"Did he just say his first word?" I ask Santana excitedly.
"I think so" Santana nods.
"Say it again, Xavier" I tell him.
"Jax" Xavier says smiling at me.
"That's right, that is Jax" I say smiling at my son.
"You are such a clever boy for saying your first word" Santana smiles at Xavier.
"You really are" I say as I hug my son tightly.
"Not gonna lie, I wish it were mommy but I can't hate the fact he said Jaxon's name as his first word" Santana tells me.
"Yeah, I know. It's so cute" I smile.
"Sometimes siblings don't always like each other but I can tell that won't happen here. They are going to be so close to each other and it is so sweet Xavier's first word was his brother's name" Santana says.

"The boys are both sound asleep in bed so shall I make some dinner for the two of us now?" I suggest to my wife as I walk into the living room.
"Sounds good" Santana smiles at me.
"What do you feel like eating?" I ask my wife.
"I don't mind, I'll eat whatever you want to make" she smiles at me again.
"Ok, I'll see what ingredients we have and then decide" I smile back.
"Sounds good" Santana nods. "Actually, while you are doing that I'm going to run to the bathroom. I'll be back in a second though" she adds.
"It's ok, don't hurry. I said I would do the cooking tonight so you can take your time and relax. You can hang out in the living room or something if you want" I say.
"Ok" Santana replies before heading to the bathroom.
As soon as I pick out some ingredients, I start cooking. I really wasn't in an adventurous mindset so I couldn't really come up with anything interesting for dinner so I'm settling with making homemade mac and cheese. I'm just finishing off making the sauce when Santana walks into the kitchen.
"It'll be ready soon" I smile at Santana before turning back to continue cooking.
"Do you need some help?" she asks me as she walks towards me.
"No, I've got it covered but thank you" I reply.
"I don't like hanging out on my own knowing you're in here doing the cooking on your own. I feel guilty for not helping" Santana says as her arms sneak around my waist from behind.
"Honestly, it's no big deal so don't worry about it" I assure her.
"Can I at least wash some dishes for you or something?" she offers.
"Really babe, it's fine. I've got this" I tell her. "Just take some time to chill out and take care of yourself" I smile.
"I know I'm pregnant but I can wash a few dishes or stir a pot of sauce" Santana shrugs.
"I know but relaxation is good for you and the baby" I say.
"Ok, if you really insist" she says. "I'm staying here though to at least talk to you while you do what you're doing, I'm not sitting alone" she adds.
"Ok" I smile.
As soon as dinner was made, Santana and I sat down together to eat. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I think I did well tonight because the food tasted quite nice and Santana seemed to enjoy it. I've just finished clearing up the dishes so I'm hoping Santana and I can have a little bit of time together on our own before we need to go to bed.
"What do you want to do now?" I ask Santana.
"I don't mind" Santana smiles at me.
"We could lay on the couch together and watch something on TV or we could do the same upstairs in bed or we could do our own thing for a while" I suggest.
"We're doing something together; we're not doing our own thing" Santana says seriously. "We don't see each other enough as it is with how busy we are so we're not about to make it worse by voluntarily being apart" she adds.
"Ok" I laugh.
"What's so funny?" she asks confused.
"You're just so cute sometimes. It's adorable when you have such a strong opinion on things" I smile.
"There's a compliment in there so I'll take it" Santana smiles.
"Ok, what are we doing tonight?" I ask.
"Let's watch some TV in bed together" Santana states.
"Ok" I nod.

*Thursday 18th April 2024*
Santana and I are just getting ready for the day. We've had a pretty relaxed morning so far spending some time with the kids since we're both not working today. Jaxon and Xavier are both taking a nap right now so my wife and I are just getting changed out of our pajamas and into some clothes while we have a spare moment to ourselves.
"What do you think of my new maternity bras?" Santana asks me as she holds one up in the air.
"I mean they look comfortable but honestly, they'll be too big for me. You're bigger than me in that area normally never mind when you're pregnant so they'll drown me" I reply.
"Haha, very funny" Santana smiles at me. "I meant what do you think about them for me" she clarifies.
"I think they'll be good for you because as I say they look comfortable" I smile.
"They're not the sexiest of things but they should make me feel better" Santana shrugs.
"Babe, anything you wear you can make look sexy so I wouldn't worry about that" I assure her.
"Thanks" Santana replies as she winks at me.
"It's just the truth" I smile.
"The panties aren't as sexy either but they're supposed to be good for pregnancy" Santana shrugs. "I actually do not know why it's took me to this pregnancy to decide to do this. I never wore comfortable underwear when I was pregnant with the boys and it was so uncomfortable" she adds.
"Well, at least you can be comfortable now with this pregnancy" I tell her and she nods.
"Hey, would you care for a little impromptu fashion show right now?" Santana asks as she begins changing into her new bras and panties.
"I would definitely like that" I smirk.
"I knew you would" Santana smirks back at me as she walks towards me.

As soon as the kids woke up from their nap, Santana and I spent some time with them. Santana then made lunch for us all while I occupied the boys until it was time to eat. All 4 of us now are hanging out together, playing with some of the kids' toys on the floor. Jaxon is playing with some toy trucks with Santana while Xavier and I are rolling a ball across the floor, back and forth to each other.
"Oh no, mommy has rolled it too far away" I say shaking my head.
"Mommy is silly isn't she" Santana smiles at Xavier.
"I'll get it" I say as I stand up from the floor.
"Uh…hold on" Santana says as she stops me.
"What's wrong?" I ask confused.
"Xavier is pulling himself up and I think he wants to get it so let's see if he'll take a few steps" Santana says.
"Ok" I nod.
"Oh my god, he is walking" Santana says excitedly as Xavier pulls himself up and walks gingerly towards the ball.
"You're walking Xavier, well done" I tell my youngest son.
"You are amazing" Santana smiles at Xavier.
"Talking and now walking all in the one week, you are such a little genius" I smile at Xavier.
"He's our little genius" Santana says as she hugs him tightly when he walks to her.
"Me too, me too" Jaxon shouts as he runs towards Santana and Xavier.
"Come on, we can all have a family hug" I say as I wrap my arms around my favourite people.
"You two are both little geniuses" Santana tells our children.
"We're big boys" Jaxon says.
"That's right, you're both growing into big boys now who walk and talk and are so smart" Santana smiles at Jaxon.
"Very smart boys" I say smiling at my children.
After spending a little more time with the children, it was time for them to take an afternoon nap so we took them upstairs. As soon as Jaxon and Xavier were settled for their nap, Santana and I went back downstairs and tidied up a bit.
"So, our children are growing up so fast already" I muse as I puts the kids' toys in their toybox.
"I know and I love and hate it all at the one time" Santana replies.
"I agree" I nod. "I want the kids to stay our little babies but it is really great seeing them accomplish different things as they grow up like walking and talking" I add.
"It won't be long until they're running around mad, getting up to all sorts of things" Santana says.
"I know" I smile.
"So, I was thinking since the kids are napping then I might make use of my free time and catch up on some emails from work" Santana tells me.
"That's cool babe. I had a few things I wanted to do anyway" I smile.
"Ok" Santana nods. "We'll catch up soon" she says as she kisses me before leaving the room to go to our home office.
Once Santana and I did our own thing for a while, the kids woke up so we spent some more time with them. We all then had dinner together. Santana and I were going to eat later than the kids but we figured it would be good to eat with them to save making two dinners. Jaxon and Xavier are now in bed for the night sleeping so Santana and I are getting ready for bed. Santana figured we'd have an early night too since we're working tomorrow but I kind of have other plans for us.
"Hi" I say seductively as I leave the bathroom in some seriously sexy lingerie.
"Hi" Santana replies as she struggles to take her eyes off me. "What's going on?" she asks curiously as she walks towards me.
"You performed a little sexy show for me earlier so I thought I would repay the favour and do the same for you tonight" I smile.
"You look so hot right now" she tells me as she wraps her arms around me.
"I mean I'm not the sexiest girl out there and I don't dress up in sexy lingerie all that much but I thought I would do it tonight, for you" I reply.
"Come on, you're always sexy. I cannot keep my hands off you most of the time with how sexy you are" Santana assures me as she pecks my lips.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 20th April 2024*
It's Mike and Tina's wedding today so it's been busy since the moment we woke up. Santana and I are both bridesmaids for Tina so we've been rushed off our feet. It was a busy start to the day because we had to get Jaxon and Xavier ready to spend the day with Santana's parents but neither of them wanted to cooperate with us so we were getting stressed. When we finally did get them ready, Santana's parents picked them up and took them to their house so Santana and I then dove straight into wedding mode.
All of the wedding guests are here and seated now so things are quickly falling into place. Mike and his groomsmen are waiting at the bottom so it's almost time for Tina to walk down the aisle with her dad. The bridesmaids are going to walk down first in pairs followed by the bride but firstly, we're all just getting a few retouches to our makeup.
"Hey, you ok?" I ask my wife as we get lined up behind Quinn and Mercedes who are the first bridesmaids to walk down before us.
"I'm fine" Santana shrugs.
"You don't look or sound fine" I state.
"Ok, I'm not fine. I am pissed off because it's just another event where I'm pregnant" she sighs.
"To be fair babe, you did kinda choose it this time" I point out.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Santana says confused.
"I'm just saying, the first few times it happened was because you and I were having a baby together and we didn't purposely choose when. This time is different because you knew there was a high chance of being pregnant at Tina's wedding. You chose to get pregnant this time and chose when it was going to happen since it's Quinn's baby so you can't really be mad" I explain.
"I guess I see what you're saying but it still sucks a little bit" Santana states.
"Apart from the fact you can't have alcohol, the pregnancy shouldn't hold you back that much because you're still in the early stages" I reassure her.
"I guess that is true" Santana smiles.
"If it helps, you look amazing today in that dress" I smile back.
"It does help so thank you" she replies, still smiling at me.
As soon as everyone is ready to go, the bridesmaids start walking down the aisle followed by Tina and her dad. The first part of the wedding was lovely but it went by so quickly so before we knew it, we're at the reception eating, drinking and having fun. Tina and Mike have just had their first dance together so now the dancefloor has opened up for everyone to continue the party and have a great night celebrating.
"May I have this dance?" Santana asks me as she comes up behind me.
"Yeah, I'd love to dance with you" I tell my wife as I take her hand in mine.
"It's a slow song playing so we can get romantic" Santana says as we reach the dancefloor and join hands to dance together.
"I like getting romantic with you" I tell her.
"I know and I like it too" she replies.
"Good" I smile.
"I don't think I've said it yet but you look really nice tonight. The dress really suits you" Santana smiles at me.
"Thanks" I smile back. "You look nice too" I add.
"You have already told me but thank you, again" Santana says.
"So how are you doing? You seemed a bit sad earlier?" I ask Santana.
"Yeah, I'm ok" Santana smiles.
"Are you sure?" I ask. I'm not convinced she is.
"Yeah, honestly. I was just being silly earlier because in the grand scheme of things, I would much rather do something special like this for Quinn and James than have one less night to be able to drink alcohol" she tells me.
"Yeah, it's temporary so it'll be ok" I reassure her.
"Exactly" Santana nods.
"So, you're in a happier mood now?" I ask.
"I am which means I've got more exciting things on my mind now" she smirks at me.
"Ok, what does that mean?" I ask sceptically.
"You'll see, so come on" Santana says as she leads me off the dancefloor.
"This feels like we're about to get sexy together" I smirk.
"Maybe we are" Santana shrugs as she smirks back at me.
"Not going to lie, I could totally have sex with you right now" I state.
"Yeah, we're looking hot tonight so I'd be a fool not to take advantage of that" she says as we find a quiet room and close the door behind us.
"Why do we always want to hook up at weddings, especially our friends' weddings" I laugh as I just realise what we're doing.
"I would blame the alcohol but that aint it because I'm not drinking tonight" Santana laughs.
"I know" I smile.

*Saturday 27th April 2024*
It's Quinn's 30th birthday tomorrow so Santana and some of Quinn's family have organised a birthday party for her tonight. They've put so much work into it that I think it's going to be one hell of a party. My children are spending the night with my parents so I am getting into the party mood already and looking forward to some fun. We've just arrived at the venue now so we're just catching up with all of our friends.
"I'm just going to the bathroom; I won't be long" Santana says.
"Ok" I smile.
"Mike and I are going to get a drink so we'll catch up with you all soon" Tina says.
"Yeah, we'll all mingle with everyone else and talk to each other soon" I smile.
"Actually, could I talk you alone for a second, Britt?" Quinn asks me.
"Sure" I nod.
"We'll go over here" she says as she leads me over to a quieter area of the party.
"Ok" I smile as we take a seat next to each other.
"So, how are you?" Quinn asks me.
"I'm good" I smile.
"I just wanted to talk to you and tell you I really appreciate what you're doing for James and I. I know Santana is the pregnant one but your support means a lot too because I wouldn't want Santana to do this for us if you weren't on board" she tells me.
"It's ok" I smile.
"How are you feeling at the moment about it?" she asks me.
"Honestly, I'm struggling with it sometimes" I admit.
"I'm really sorry I'm doing this to you and if things could be different then I wouldn't do this" Quinn apologises.
"Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. Please don't apologise because you have nothing to apologise for. You deserve to have this chance to be a mom and Santana and I want to help in any way we can" I assure her.
"Ok" Quinn nods.
"I just meant that I'm struggling with it because I feel guilty and like you might hate me a little bit" I say.
"Guilty about what?" Quinn asks confused.
"Just kinda being there through the pregnancy with Santana when you should be in my place. I'm worried I'll feel the baby kick before you guys or something special like that. I don't want to tread on your toes or anything but Santana is my wife. I can't stay away from her all the time, you know" I explain.
"Brittany, it's ok. I mean this isn't exactly how I planned to become a mother because I did expect to be pregnant and go through all of those things but I wouldn't hate you because of it. In an ideal world I would love to have that special moment of feeling my baby kick for the first time and for James and I to be there but I have to accept these things won't always happen. I know I can't go through a normal pregnancy myself so I'm just counting myself lucky that I have a best friend who is willing to do this for me otherwise I might never be a mom. I'm not going to lie; it would be a little annoying if I wasn't the first person to feel my baby kick but it is a risk I'm willing to take because the outcome of this way is so much better than the alternative of trying to get pregnant on my own and never succeeding" Quinn explains.
"Ok" I smile.
"Just please don't feel guilty because what you and Santana are doing for me means so much" Quinn smiles back.
"Honestly, I want to do whatever I can to help you so if there is anything else at all you need then let me know. Like if you want to come over to our place at any time or hang out with Santana then don't be shy. It is your baby so you're more than welcome to do so" I say honestly.
"Thanks, I appreciate it" Quinn says.
"Ok, shall we head back to your party now and have some fun?" I say.
"Sounds good" Quinn smiles. "I'm going to get a drink now and find James" she says.
"Cool. I'm going to find my wife" I say.
"Ok" Quinn nods and then we walk off in different directions.
"Can I steal Santana for a second please?" I say as I walk over to her, Tina and Mike.
"Yeah, we'll catch up again later" Tina smiles.
"Ok" I smile back before Santana and I head off together.
"So, what's going on?" Santana asks as she reaches for my hand and intertwines our fingers together as we walk towards a quieter area.
"I was just thinking we should call my parents to say goodnight to the boys before it's too late and they're already asleep" I say.
"Yeah, we should" Santana nods.
As soon as I pull out my phone, I dial my mom's number and wait for her to answer. She seems to take ages to answer which annoys me a little because I just want to speak to my children. Once she does answer, Santana and I talk to her and my dad for a little bit before she puts the phone on speaker so we can speak to Jaxon and Xavier.
"Are you having a good night, spending time with gran and grandpa?" I ask my kids.
"We played mommy" Jaxon tells me.
"Was it fun?" Santana asks Jaxon.
"Yeah, mommy" Jaxon replies.
"When mommy and I get home tomorrow, we can play with you and Xavier" I tell the kids.
"Ok" Jaxon says excitedly.
"So, its almost bedtime for you both so mommy and I just wanted to call and say goodnight" I say.
"Yeah, you two are about to go to bed, aren't you?" my mom says to the kids.
"Yes" Jaxon replies.
"We love you both so much and we'll see you tomorrow" I say.
"Goodnight" Santana says.
"Are you going to say goodnight to your mommies?" I hear my mom say to my children.
"Night mommies" Jaxon says.
"Goodnight, sweetie" I reply to Jaxon.
"Xavier says goodnight too" my dad tells us since Xavier can't talk much at the moment.
"Goodnight, Xavier" Santana replies.
"We should get back to the party now but we'll talk to you tomorrow" I tell my parents.
"Ok, enjoy the rest of your night" my mom says and then we hang up the phone.
"The kids seem ok so that's good" Santana smiles at me.
"Yeah, they do so I'm happy about that. I was a little nervous about them staying with my parents tonight and not us because they haven't been settling well at night the last few nights" I say.
"I know but they seem ok tonight so it should be fine" Santana replies.
"Yeah, it will be fine" I smile.
"So, no one is here right now so maybe we should make use of this alone time" Santana smirks at me.
"How might we do that?" I ask, smirking back.
"By starting off with me doing this" Santana says as she moves and straddles my lap.
"Then what happens?" I smirk as my hands rest on her hips.
"I'll do this" Santana smiles as she places her hands on either side of my neck and leans in to kiss me. I immediately kiss back and we kiss for some time.
"We should stop now" I say as I regretfully pull away from my wife's lips.
"We're just making out, it's nothing inappropriate really. I mean everyone makes out at parties" Santana shrugs.
"I'm not saying we should stop because of other people; I am saying we should stop because of me. I'm starting to lose control of myself that I'm going to want to do a lot more than kissing so we need to stop now" I point out.
"You're getting turned on and will want to have sex?" Santana clarifies.
"Exactly and we can't do that here" I state.
"Let's go somewhere else then where we can do exactly that" Santana smiles.
"You want to have sex, now?" I question.
"Yeah, I mean you're not the only one married to an insanely hot woman. I get just as easily turned on by you as you do by me" she replies.
"Ok, let's do it" I say excitedly.

Quinn's party ended a little while ago so Santana and I are back at home now. The minute we got through the door, we went upstairs and took our makeup off and changed out of our dresses into some sweatpants. We just wanted to get comfortable and relaxed as soon as we could because it's been a hectic few days so chilling out sounded like something we needed.
"It's been a busy few days for me but I am so glad it's over now. I'm glad Quinn enjoyed her party and everything but I'm even happier at the fact I can breathe again and not stress out over all of the party plans" Santana says.
"The party was great so you did so well to organise it all" I smile at my wife.
"Yeah, it all came together eventually which was good because it was tough in the beginning so I was getting worried I'd run out of time to plan everything" she admits.
"I know but it's over now so you can breathe a sigh of relief" I say.
"Yeah, I can" Santana nods.
"Hey, I know you're tired and everything but I thought maybe you and I could snuggle in bed together and watch some TV or a movie" I suggest.
"I am tired but that sounds so much better than sleep so let's do it" Santana smiles.

*Friday 3rd May 2024*
Today has been a weird day for me. Technically it's been my day off however, I've just sat down in my living room to take a work video call. Santana's brother has taken Jaxon and Xavier out for the day to some truck show so I was supposed to be spending my alone time with my wife who has also taken the day off work. The day started off well because Santana and I had a late breakfast together after the boys left and we got to just hang out. Everything sort of went downhill from there because one innocent text to a colleague at work turned into an hour's phone call which then turned into me helping another colleague with something which then turned into me inviting myself to a work meeting through video. Santana was not thrilled with me at all for working even though I didn't mean it to go like that.
"Guys, I think we need to take a look at the expenditure there" I say to my team. "Something is just not adding up because the expenses are too high. I know there are always expenses but this seems too much" I add.
"Yeah, the expenses were a bit of a concern for me" Jack says, agreeing with me.
"What's that figure there?" I ask as we look through some of the spreadsheets.
"That's the price of the new coffee machine" Jade tells me.
"I'm sorry, the price of the what?" I ask in disbelief.
"The new coffee machine that Santana ordered. Did she not mention it yet?" Jade asks.
"No, she conveniently didn't" I reply laughing. That is so typical of my wife to buy coffee machines and not tell me about them because she knows I wouldn't agree to a new one since we already have one. I can't really be mad though because that's who Santana is and it's kinda cute.
"Do you want us to return the coffee machine because it's just new, it's not been opened yet?" Jack asks.
"No don't do that, you'll get us all fired or worse, killed" I chuckle. Santana needs her coffee so she will not be happy if we return it.
"Ok" Jack laughs.
"Let's just remove the purchase for these accounts and I will transfer money from somewhere else to cover the cost of the coffee machine. I don't want the cost of it added to the expenses we actually need for the business otherwise it'll seem like we're making a loss" I explain.
"Ok, no problem" Jack nods.
"Oh…my…god" I say abruptly in shock as my mouth falls open.
"Are you ok, Britttany?" Jack asks concerned.
"No, I'm not ok" I tell him as I struggle to tear my eyes away from the opposite couch.
"Did something happen?" Jade asks.
"It's ok, everything is fine but I need to go. Any other problems just leave them and I'll deal with them tomorrow" I state.
"Ok, but…"
"Bye guys" I say as I quickly slam the lid down on my laptop.
"Is everything ok because you closed that laptop lid quite quickly?" Santana asks with an innocent smile as she looks at me from the other couch.
"No, everything is not ok. What are you doing Santana?" I reply, never taking my eyes off her.
"I'm not doing anything" my wife shrugs.
"Why are you naked?" I ask.
"I lost my clothes" Santana shrugs her shoulders.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I ask curiously.
"I'm literally not doing anything, Brittany" she tells me.
"Yes, you are. You sauntered in here naked and sat down right in my eyeline, knowing I was on a work call" I state.
"Babe, if you're working then you shouldn't be concerned about what I am doing. You should be focusing on your work paying no attention to me" Santana smiles innocently.
"Santana" I laugh. "You're naked so how the hell can I focus on anything else. If you're going to go around like that then I'm 100% going to look" I add.
"Do you like what you see?" Santana asks with a smirk.
"Of course, I fucking do" I state like it's obvious.
"Who are you fucking swearing at?" she asks.
"I'm fucking swearing at you" I laugh.
"Well, I'm fucking swearing back at you so get the fuck over here if you like what you see" Santana tells me.
"Ok, I will" I smile as I make my way over to Santana. "You look so hot right now" I add as I sit down next to my wife and wrap my arms around her.
"Thanks" Santana says, smiling back.
"Like seriously, so hot" I add as I lean in and kiss her.
"Can I tell you a secret?" Santana says with a smirk as we momentarily pull away from each other's lips.
"Yeah" I nod.
"I deliberately got naked so you'd stop working" she replies.
"You know what, I fucking knew it'd be for that reason" I laugh. "I just had a feeling you were doing it to get my attention."
"It worked though, right?" Santana smirks.
"Yeah, it really did" I smile. "Although I am a bit concerned about you walking around like that when I'm on a video call. I mean a stumble to the side as you walked past me and everyone would see you. Maybe you shouldn't have gone as extreme as that."
"I know what you're saying but I couldn't just ask you to pay attention to me because it wouldn't work. I had to go extreme to really get your attention otherwise you'd just ignore me" Santana says.
"I wouldn't ignore you babe, that's mean" I tell her.
"Ok so if I walked in here in my pyjamas and asked you to hang up the call to give me attention, you'd do it?" she questions me.
"I might" I shrug.
"No, you wouldn't. You'd frown at me and gesture to me to go away. However, if I did it naked then I'd have your full attention because I'd hope you'd still like the look of me when I'm naked" Santana says.
"I very much do still find you attractive when you're naked. I mean you're still attractive with the clothes but there's just something different about my wife naked. It's like I lose all train of thought and immediately want you right here, right now" I smile.
"I wanted your undivided attention today so that's why I did it" Santana smiles back.
"I see that now" I say.
"As much as I am pissed that you decided to work today, I do really like the fact you did exactly what I hoped you'd do. I know I say it all the time but I really do like that you still check me out and still feel attracted to me" she admits.
"You're amazing Santana, inside and out, so I'm always going to have that love for you" I smile.
"Thanks" she smiles. "Now, as much as you like me like this, I am fucking freezing so we need to do one of two things. Either help me get dressed or, find another way to warm me up, preferably a way where you could be naked too" she states.
"Good idea so, come here" I say as I pull Santana close to me and kiss her. Just as the kissing heats up, I realise where we are. "Our children sit here so let's not do it here. Let's take it upstairs" I say.
"Fair enough" Santana nods.
"You go on up and I'll follow" I tell her as we get off the couch.
"Ok" Santana says as she leaves the room and heads upstairs. I follow her as I start undressing on the way, throwing my clothes to the floor.
