Chapter 38: Family Time
Brittany's POV
*Friday 17th February 2023*
Santana and I have not long just arrived home from work so we're just catching up with Ashley. It was a busy day at work so we didn't get home until later than we meant to so we wanted to catch up with Ashley properly and make sure Jaxon had been ok. The only good thing now though is that Santana and I are taking the next two days off from work so we'll get to spend the days with Jaxon.
"So, any plans for this fine Friday night?" I ask Ashley nosily.
"Not really, just a quiet night in with my boyfriend I think" Ashley smiles.
"Say no more" I tease while smirking at her.
"Brittany!" Santana scolds while giving me an unamused look. I guess I maybe shouldn't speak to an employee like that but at the same time Ashley is different to the people that work for us at work. It's a different relationship we have because she looks after my child whereas I wouldn't dare trust anyone at work to do that.
"It's fine Santana" Ashley laughs. "I didn't actually mean it like that though. I just meant it will be nice to see each other because he's been super busy at work recently so we don't get much time together" she adds.
"Yeah, I know the feeling?" I reply.
"Oh is your boyfriend busy at work too?" Santana asks me teasingly.
"Hah-hah" I smile. "I meant sometimes we're really busy at work that we never see each other even though we do work in the same place and share an office" I add.
"Yeah so we'll probably just order takeout and watch a movie on the couch together or something" Ashley shrugs.
"Sounds good, that's my kinda night after a busy day at work" I smile.
"What about you two, any plans this weekend for your days off?" Ashley asks us.
"Jaxon is having another sleepover this weekend. He's going to spend some time with my parents so I am going to take this beautiful lady here out to dinner" I say as I wrap my arm around Santana.
"That'll be nice to have a dinner date together" Ashley says.
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I mean we do spend a lot of time together but it's either at home or at work so actually going out on a date will be really cool" Santana explains.
"We didn't really do valentines day like everyone else did so this is our own version" I say.
"Sounds good so hopefully you enjoy yourselves" Ashley says as she gets her stuff together.
"Yeah" I nod. "Anyway, we'll let you go home now, take care Ashley and we'll see you bright and early on Monday morning" I say.
"Yeah, see you all on Monday" Ashley smiles and then leaves.
"So, just you, me and Jax now" I smile as I wrap my arms around Santana.
"Yeah" Santana smiles back.
"Do you know what I really want to do right now?" I ask.
"Hopefully it's the same thing as me" she tells me.
"It involves someone cute" I state.
"Spend time with Jaxon?" she queries.
"Oh yeah" I say excitedly. "I have missed him so much today so I just want to spend every second of tonight with him" I explain.
"I do too but I don't have the heart to wake him up so we'll leave him napping right now and we can have some dinner. Then as soon as Jax is awake, we'll spend the rest of the evening with him" Santana says.
"Sounds like a plan" I smile.
As soon as Santana and I had made dinner together, we sat down and ate. We didn't really get a chance to talk much during dinner since we were so hungry so we're now just talking as we clear up our dishes. We're not really talking about much, just discussing what we could do to spend time with Jaxon tomorrow before he has his sleepover. I wanted to take Jaxon swimming but Santana still doesn't feel it's right for him to be in the pool just yet so we're probably just going to do something indoors.
"We're all cleared up from dinner now so surely Jaxon must be about awake" Santana says.
"Let's go and see because I am so desperate to hang out with him" I say.
"Ok" Santana nods and then we head upstairs to Jaxon's nursery.
"Hi buddy, I have missed you so much today" I say as I lift Jaxon out of his crib.
"I am so glad you're awake and we can hang out together now" Santana says as she leans towards us and kisses Jaxon.
"Do you want to have some cuddle time with mommy and I in bed?" I ask my son as I make my way towards the bed.
"I'm going to quickly change if that's ok and then I'll join you both" Santana says as she grabs her pajamas out of the drawer.
"That's cool" I smile as I get onto the bed and place Jaxon on my knees. "Mommy will be right here with us in a second" I say as I lean forward and kiss Jaxon's head.
"Ok I need to get a photo of you two because it's just too cute" Santana states as she picks up her phone. "This is going to be my new background picture because it's the cutest thing ever" she adds.
"I should be mad that I am no longer your background picture on your phone but I can't be because Jaxon is really really cute" I smile.
As soon as Santana has finished changing, she comes over to the bed and joins us. We spend quite a while just talking to Jaxon and making him giggle. We did try and coax him into saying some words but it wasn't really working out. He can make noises and almost say a word but not fully yet. I am sure there will be plenty of time for that. Ideally, we'd love him to say mommy first but if he doesn't, it's ok.
"I think it's time to go to bed now sweetheart" Santana says as she takes Jaxon from me. He has been looking tired for about 5 minutes now so it's only fair he goes to bed.
"Can mommy get a kiss goodnight first" I say as I get off the bed and follow Santana towards the door.
"Of course" Santana says as she turns around. I then lean down and kiss my son.
"Goodnight buddy" I smile at Jaxon.
"I'll be back in 5 minutes" Santana says.
"Ok" I nod. Santana kisses my cheek and then leaves the room to take Jaxon to his nursery. I meanwhile get changed and brush my teeth before slipping into bed.
"I'll be right there in a second, I just need to brush my teeth now" Santana says as she enters the bedroom.
"That's fine" I smile. After a couple of minutes Santana joins me in bed and lies down, facing me. "Did Jax get to sleep ok then?" I ask.
"Yeah, he went to sleep right away so he must have been tired" she tells me.
"That's good, at least he settled ok" I say.
"Yeah" Santana agrees. We lie in silence for a few minutes, just looking at each other. "What?" she asks me curiously as I continue to stare into her eyes.
"You're beautiful" I reply with a smile.
"You have to say that or else I'll divorce you" she teases.
"No seriously, you are so beautiful" I say genuinely. "Both inside and out" I add.
"I appreciate you saying that but I can't agree. I mean I know I look ok so I'm not like insecure like that so I agree with the outside comment but I can't agree with being beautiful inside" Santana shakes her head. "I will be the first person to admit that I don't have a great personality and a lot of other people think it too. I am far from perfect."
"No one is perfect and I'm not asking for perfect. Deep down, I know you are the most caring person there is. You might not be everyone's friend like at work and stuff but the friends and family you do have you'd do anything for them so you are amazing inside" I smile.
"Ok, if you say so" she smiles back.
"I do" I tell her.
"I've got to say I think you're pretty beautiful inside and out as well" Santana says as she leans forward and kisses me.
"Thank you" I smile again.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 18th February 2023*
I'm just in the middle of getting ready for my date night with my wife. My parents came over a little while ago and picked Jaxon up so he's now spending the night with them so it's just Santana and I at home right now. Santana is getting ready in the bathroom just now doing her hair and makeup while I'm in the bedroom getting changed. We'll be leaving soon for our dinner reservations so I'm getting quite excited about having a date night with Santana.
"You look beautiful" Santana smiles at me as she leaves the master bathroom.
"Thank you" I say, blushing a little bit at the compliment. It's funny, no matter how long Santana and I have been together, she still makes me blush sometimes.
"Apart from pregnant, how else do I look?" she asks me.
"You look incredible babe" I smile.
"Thank you" she smiles back.
"I'm ready now so let's head downstairs" I say as I reach out and grab Santana's hand before leading her downstairs.
"Shall I drive since I can't drink anyways?" Santana asks me.
"We could take a cab if you want so you can have a night off driving or I could drive us to the restaurant" I offer.
"Don't you want a glass of wine or something after a stressful week at work?" she asks.
"I've told you before, I'm not drinking if you're not. Plus, I'm not that big of a drinker anyway so I won't miss what I don't normally have, you know" I shrug.
"I appreciate you doing things like this for me during the pregnancy but you don't have to do them. Honestly, I really don't mind" Santana smiles.
"I know you don't mind but I want to do them anyway. You have the tougher end of the deal when we're having children so I need to pull my weight. I am going to do whatever I can to help you through these 9 months so if it's as simple as going to a restaurant and not having alcohol then I'll do it" I assure her. We're in this together so I am going to do whatever she has to do until the baby is here.
"Ok" she smiles again.
As soon as we have our purses and keys, we head outside to my car. I then open the door for Santana and help her into the car before running around to the driver's side and getting in. I then drive off to the restaurant. We're there right on time so I put the car in park and then we walk over to the entrance hand in hand. As we reach the door, I hold it open for Santana and then follow her inside.
"We have a reservation under Pierce" Santana states.
"No problem, if you would just like to follow me" the lady tells us.
"Thank you" I say as we make our way to the table.
"I'll leave the menus here for you and someone will be here in a second to take your drinks order" the lady says.
"Ok" I nod.
"Hey, let me get that for you" Santana says as she pulls out my chair for me.
"Thanks babe" I smile at my wife as I sit down.
"You've been holding doors open for me all night so the least I could do is pull out your chair for you to sit down" she shrugs.
Once we order some drinks, we then take a look at the menu. We decided it might be fun to do what we sometimes do where we order food for each other so that's what we did when the waitress came over. We're now just talking to each other and pouring our sparkling grape juice as we sit and wait on our food arriving at the table.
"Cheers to this next chapter in our lives" I say as I raise my glass in the air.
"Cheers to us and our family" Santana smiles as she clinks glasses with mine and then we both take a drink.
"It's not quite the same as champagne but it's ok" I smile.
"Yeah" she nods.
"So how are you doing today?" I ask my wife.
"With the pregnancy?" she asks.
"I mean yeah but I also meant you in general. Obviously, I love Jaxon and the new baby so I want to make sure they're doing ok as well but I was asking about you because you're more than an incubator for our second child. You're a person too so I want to know how you're doing not just the baby" I say.
"I think with the pregnancy things are going ok" she tells me with a shrug. "As for me, yeah I'm doing ok as well. Really ok actually because I have a great family and I'm having date night with my wife so things are pretty good" Santana smiles.
After talking for a while, our meals arrived so we began eating. Once we finished, we debated on whether we wanted to stay for dessert or not. In the end we decided if we did want dessert then we'd just have it at home. As much as we were enjoying having date night in the restaurant, we sort of preferred to be somewhere else where it was quieter and not as busy so we got the check and then left. We've just arrived back home now so we're kicking our shoes off and locking the door for the night.
"Hey, do you want to go in the pool for a little bit?" I suggest. It's still early and I am enjoying having Santana all to myself so we might as well continue the party of two and have some fun.
"We can if you want but I don't really want to be swimming when we've just eaten" Santana points out.
"No we don't need to swim, we'll just relax in the water" I smile.
"Sounds good then" Santana nods.
"Let's run upstairs and put our swimwear on then" I say.
"Ok" Santana smiles. I then take her hand and lead her upstairs. As soon as we are changed, we head back downstairs again and go outside to the pool in the back yard.
"I know you're probably going to gracefully and elegantly enter the pool but I'm not" I tell my wife as I dive into the pool.
"Honey!" Santana laughs. "You've splashed me so I'm wet now before I've even entered the pool" she says as she slowly steps into the pool.
"I'm sorry I just had to do that. Childish Brittany had to come out for a second" I laugh.
"Come here" Santana says so I swim over to her. She then wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.
"I love it when you wrap yourself around me" I smirk.
"Why? Because my breasts are right in your eyeline right now?" she smirks back.
"Yeah, pretty much" I laugh. "You know I like every part of you but I do really like your boobs. I'm not just saying that because you're pregnant so they're bigger, in general I've always really liked them regardless of their size."
"I am aware of that actually" she smirks. She has caught me on several occasions just staring at her chest even when I'm not supposed to be.
"Thankfully for me you're not so much a boob girl yourself" I shrug.
"What do you mean?" she asks confused.
"Well, it's no secret I'm a few cup sizes smaller so I'm just saying thankfully you're not as into breasts because if you were, you've married the wrong girl" I explain.
"Size isn't everything honey and even if I was super into breasts like you are, I'd still be with you. I could still be into them even if they were smaller than mine because they're still your breasts, you know what I mean. Like I'm into everything about you so it doesn't matter to me how big of a bust you have, I still love your body because it's yours" she tells me.
"Ok" I nod.
"Babe, I know you don't believe me right now but it's true. I don't like something because of how big or small it is, I like it because I like it in general. I mean take the pregnancy for example, you still like my body because you like my body no matter how big it is during pregnancy, right?" she states.
"Yeah" I nod.
"Ok so I'm just saying if I was inclined to like one body part over another in a woman in general, I wouldn't be put off because of the size, I would like it because I like that particular part of a woman" Santana explains.
"Fair enough, I understand now" I smile. "I know I say it all the time but I am punching above my weight sometimes with you because you are hotter than I am so I do tend to put myself down a lot because I'm not as attractive as you are."
"Honey I relate to you more than you think I do. I had low self-esteem when I was younger and was embarrassed by my very small breasts so I got implants. I didn't do it to feel sexy or for others to be attracted to me, I did it for me because I didn't want to look the way I did. I don't necessarily regret having surgery straight after high school but perhaps if I had met you then I might not have changed. The surgery did make me more confident so I like that but at the same time, you make me feel so good about myself that maybe if we met before we did then I wouldn't need the surgery to feel better" she tells me. "All I am saying is that I don't have implants because I wanted super big boobs to be attractive, I just wanted to feel like a woman and to have some sort of chest that didn't look like a boy. I didn't get them because of size, I got them because I had nothing in that area, like you've seen the pictures babe and I was very flat chested as a teen."
"So, you got implants because you wanted breasts, not big breast just breasts in general?" I ask.
"Exactly" she nods. "That is what I'm saying to you babe, it's not all about size but about having something to make you feel better about yourself."
"So, you don't want me to get breast implants then?" I ask.
"I don't think you need them and I certainly don't want you to get them for my benefit but at the same time, if it's something you really want then I'd do anything to make you happy. I'm totally ok with your body the way it is but like I say, if you would be happier to change something then I wouldn't stand in your way because all I want is for you to be happy" Santana smiles.
"I mean I do wish I had bigger breasts but I'm not like unhappy so I don't think it's something I really want. As long as you're happy with my body then I'm good because it's you that sees more of it than me really unless I was to stand in front of a mirror all day long" I shrug.
"Yeah I'm really happy with your body, like really happy" she says as she leans in and kisses me. "Just please don't think you're not as attractive as me because you are, I mean it. Yes, we do look different but different can be good" she assures me.
"Thank you for making me feel better" I say as I hold her tightly in my arms. "I know I have taken this conversation to a deeper level than either of us meant it to go to so I am sorry if it made you uncomfortable."
"I don't like talking about feelings and stuff so I'm never super comfortable in a situation like this but there was no way we were stopping this conversation because I needed you to know how beautiful you really are" she smiles.
"I really appreciate you saying that because I know it's not easy sometimes when I get something into my head and continue to talk about it so thank you for understanding and reassuring me" I smile. "Anyway, let's not get into it any further. The bottom line is I'm happy now and you're happy so we'll leave it at that."
"Yeah let's move onto a lighter conversation" Santana agrees.
"Yeah we should for sure do that" I nod.
"Hey, do you remember the first time we had sex in this pool?" she asks me.
"How could I forget" I smile. "And it's not because it was good. I mean it was good but that's not why it's memorable. It's memorable because it was the first time we had sex as an official couple. Long ago were the days of messing around and being friends with benefits, it was real that time" I state.
"Yeah that was a good night that night" she smiles. "It was a lot of fun and it was also the night we told everyone we were together and we haven't looked back since."

*Thursday 23rd February 2023*
I've just gotten home from work but Santana isn't home yet, she wanted to stay and finish some things off. On the one hand I wanted to stay with her because I didn't like the thought of her working alone but on the other hand, I wanted to be there for Jaxon. I had finished what I had to do at work so it made sense that I came home to our son. We don't like leaving him without us when one of us could easily be with him so I came home. I'm just talking to Ashley just now as she gets ready to finish for the day.
"Are you just heading home for the night?" I ask Ashley curiously.
"Yeah, just heading back to my apartment to get something to eat and just relax on my own" Ashley replies.
"Yeah I'm probably going to be eating on my own tonight because Santana didn't seem to think she would be home any time soon. I wanted to wait on her but I haven't eaten in hours so I'm hungry and she told me to go ahead and eat anyway" I explain.
"Fair enough" Ashley nods. "Ok, I'll be back in a second, I want to make sure I've cleared up everything and Jaxon is still settled" she says.
"Ok" I nod. I then make a start on dinner as Ashley does what she needs to do.
"Jaxon is sleeping now so if you don't need me for anything else then I might as well head off" Ashley says as she enters the kitchen.
"Santana isn't going to be home for a while yet so why don't you stay for dinner instead of us both being alone and eating tragically on our own" I say.
"You don't need to cook for me, it's fine" Ashley smiles.
"I know but if you're not doing anything tonight then you might as well eat with me because I've cooked too much and it'll just go to waste" I explain.
"Ok, fine. I will stay for dinner" Ashley nods.
"Good" I smile. "It'll be 5 more minutes so take a seat and we can catch up while I finish cooking" I add.
"Ok" she replies while taking a seat at the table.
"So how has your day been today? Has my son been behaving?" I ask.
"Yeah my day has been going pretty smoothly. Jaxon was an angel as always. I mean he does have his moments but other than that, he is one of the most well-behaved babies I have ever looked after" she tells me.
"That's good" I reply as I bring the plates over to the table and we begin eating.
"What about you, has it been a busy day at work?" Ashley asks.
"Yeah, but I won't bore you with that" I shrug.
"Talking to you and Santana are about the only adult conversations I have all day sometimes so I don't mind talking about boring stuff. I mean I love my job but that is one of the downsides about being a nanny, you don't get to have much interactions with others" she explains.
"That is true actually" I nod, understanding her point. "I think that would probably drive me insane to not be able to talk to people all day. I am just so glad I share an office with Santana because if I didn't, I would probably end up talking to myself all day."
"You do seem like a person who likes to talk…if you don't mind me saying" Ashley says.
"No it is true I like being around other people. When I first started working for Santana it was great because I was part of the team and we would all have fun while we worked but then when I moved to BP Sportswear, I wasn't just a part of the team, I was the leader of the team. I got my own office so it became a little lonely so I convinced Santana to share an office with me. I said we should share because she was pregnant with Jax so I wanted to be with her every step of the way so I didn't miss anything. I also thought it would be a good idea once our baby was born because we could have a crib in the office as well. Those weren't the actual reasons for sharing though. I mean they were good reasons but what I mean is that they weren't the only reasons" I explain.
"The reason you wanted to share was because you wanted to be around someone to talk to?" she asks.
"Yeah exactly" I nod. "I don't know what it is but I can't be alone. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or if it's an insecurity from the past or not but I hate being alone" I shrug.
"Didn't you say before that you used to have your own apartment before you got together with Santana?" Ashley asks confused.
"Yeah, I did used to live alone so I guess what I mean is that I can be alone but I just don't do well being alone. I spent a lot of that time of living alone either with my ex, my friends, my work or having a friends with benefits relationship with Santana. I was never happy on my own so I did whatever I could back then to not be on my own" I state.
"Wait…you and Santana started off as friends with benefits?" Ashley asks amused.
"Uh…yeah" I laugh.
"The more I get to know by working for you, that just doesn't seem like you" she tells me.
"I know and I even find it funny myself sometimes but, in all honesty, I think I did it because I was in love with Santana. I didn't know it at the time but I think that's what it was" I admit.
"You and Santana seem like a good match" Ashley says.
"Yeah, I think so too" I smile.
"I know I am your employee Brittany but this is actually nice being able to get to know you on a sort of friendly basis" she tells me.
"I mean I think we're friends because this is different to me compared to my work friends. You're not just working for me like the people at BP Sportswear are, you work for me by looking after one of the most precious things I call mine which is my son so I would be worried if you and I couldn't say we're friends now" I reply. If I didn't feel like Ashley and I were friends then it would probably mean we weren't comfortable around each other which is no use to us as my son's nanny so I really hope we are friends.
"Yeah, we are friends, I'm just saying it's nice to get to know each other that bit more" she adds.
"It is nice" I smile. "Anyway, moving on. You're not working tomorrow so do you have any plans for your day off?" I ask curiously.
"Not really to be honest, I'll just be having some me time" Ashley shrugs.
"Is your boyfriend working tomorrow or does he have the day off too?" I ask.
"Um…Dave and I sorta aren't together anymore" Ashley replies quietly.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry. I didn't even know that" I say feeling bad for mentioning him when they're not even dating anymore.
"It's ok, the breakup is still pretty fresh so I haven't really told that many people yet. I'm just not ready to tell people because it's too raw right now. I'll just end up breaking down if I do which is almost happening right now" Ashley says as she begins getting teary.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make you cry" I apologise while moving around the table to sit next to her.
"It's ok, it's not your fault" she says as she wipes the tears away. "I still love him so it's hard to accept we're over now and not going to be a part of each other's lives anymore" she adds.
"I know it's tough right now but you broke up for a reason so things will get easier with time. I'm sure when things settle down, you'll find the person you're meant to be with and you won't think about this again" I say trying to reassure her.
"I know but for right now, I need to be single" she states.
"Yeah" I nod. "So, what happened if you don't mind me asking?"
"We just wanted different things in life and it wasn't something we could compromise on. I always knew I wanted to do the usual thing of getting married and having children but because I'm still young it wasn't a priority right now. Recently though, Dave had realised that he was content with the way his life is and that wasn't something he wanted to expand upon in the future. He's a few years older than me so his friends are at that stage in life right now where they're having a family and seeing them like that made him realise it's not for him" Ashley explains.
"That is a big thing in a relationship" I state. I'm just lucky I'm married to Santana and she wants everything I want because I would be heartbroken if we started dating and I realised she didn't want marriage and kids.
"Yeah, it really is. I mean like I say I do still have time to do all of that because I'm young but I don't want to fall even more in love with someone who eventually can't give me what I want. It's better to end things now than to carry on and be heartbroken further down the line" Ashley says.
"I totally get that so it was a very mature decision for you to make" I say honestly.
As soon as we finish dinner, Ashley helps me to clear up the plates. I told her she didn't need to do that because she's off the clock now so is a guest in my house but she insisted. She said since I made dinner then the least she could do was help me clear up. She's just saying goodbye to Jaxon right now and is then going to head home. She's been here for an hour or so longer than usual so she's ready to get home and settled for the night. I'm hoping Santana will be home soon and I can get settled for the night too.
"Ok, I should be heading off now" Ashley says.
"Ok" I nod. "Again, I am really sorry for upsetting you tonight" I say genuinely as I walk her to the front door.
"Honestly don't worry about it Brittany. I would have gotten upset no matter who I was talking to so please don't beat yourself up about it" Ashley smiles.
"Ok" I smile.
"I will see you in a couple of days then" Ashley says as she opens the door.
"Yes, you will, enjoy your day off tomorrow" I tell her.
"Yeah, and you too, enjoy some family time with Jaxon and Santana" she smiles.
Once Ashley leaves, I head upstairs and get changed for bed. I'm not going to bed right now but I thought I might as well just get changed into something more comfortable. I then went to the nursery and hung out with Jaxon for a while until he fell asleep. I'm now just in the kitchen, getting myself a glass of water when I hear the front door open.
"Oh thank god you're home" I say as I greet Santana in the hallway.
"Miss me, did you?" Santana asks with a smirk.
"Yeah, you have no idea" I say as I hug her tightly.
"I must admit, I did miss you as well tonight" she tells me as we pull out of the hug.
"That's good" I say as I lead her to the kitchen. "I made you up a plate of food if you want to reheat it for your dinner" I tell her.
"Yeah, I might just do that because I am super hungry tonight" she says as she grabs the plate and puts it in the microwave. "Hey, I'm sorry you had to eat alone tonight. I just couldn't get all my work done on time" she says as she wraps her arms around my neck.
"It's ok because I wasn't alone. Ashley stayed for dinner. I cooked too much so I asked if she wanted to eat with me" I explain.
"Inviting other women to have dinner with you huh, are you trying to make me jealous?" she teases.
"No of course not" I smile.
"Yeah, I was just joking" she smiles.
"She was actually telling me that she and Dave have broken up" I say.
"Oh, that's a shame" Santana says sympathetically.
"I know this sounds selfish but seeing how upset she was about the breakup made me so glad that'll never happen to me. I mean you and I are solid and we're not going anywhere" I reply.
"Yeah, unfortunately you're never getting rid of me" she says as she leans in to kiss me.
"I know we can be a pain in each other's asses sometimes, but that's just us and that's how we work so I know I'm not going anywhere and neither are you" I smile.
"Exactly" Santana says before kissing me again.

*Friday 24th February 2023*
It's been a good morning so far for me and my family. Santana and I have the day off from work so we got to wake up a little later this morning and just spend time with Jaxon. We didn't need to rush to get showered or even hurriedly force our breakfasts down. I managed to fit in a workout outside and took a swim in the pool as well which was good. As much as I love my work, I kinda like spending the day like this more. Jaxon is down for a nap right now so Santana and I are doing our own thing for a little bit until he wakes up.
"Who are you texting right now?" Santana asks as she sneaks up behind me and slips her arms around my waist.
"Ashley" I reply. "I know it's her day off so I shouldn't be bothering her but I still feel bad about making her cry last night. I shouldn't have pushed her to talk about things."
"I don't think it was your fault babe, it sounds like she volunteered a lot of the information so I don't think she felt pushed" Santana tells me.
"Even still, I want to make sure she's ok" I shrug.
"You're way too nice Brittany Pierce" Santana replies as she kisses the side of my cheek.
"I'm just being a friend looking out for another friend" I shrug again.
"I get that but being a friend isn't what you're supposed to be doing today. You have the full day to spend with your son and wife so friends shouldn't really be a factor at the moment" she points out.
"I'll only be a second, it's not like we're having a full-blown conversation with each other. It's just a quick text from me and a reply from Ashley" I say.
"I still don't like it" Santana says as she turns me around in her arms so I'm facing her.
"Let me just at least end things appropriately because I don't want her texting me and then me ignoring her" I say before pecking Santana's lips.
"You need to be paying attention to me right now not her. Jaxon is still asleep so there are no other reasons why you can't be putting all of your energy into me" she tells me.
"I am paying attention to you, I just kissed you babe" I point out.
"A sloppy kiss on the lips does not count as giving your wife attention so put the phone down and pay attention to me" Santana replies.
"Just a second, I promise" I say as I try to quickly type out a reply text to tell Ashley I need to go now.
"I'm confiscating your phone right now" Santana says as she takes my phone off me and puts it down her top into her bra.
"I'm more than happy to go in there you know" I smirk.
"I know you are but if you do, it'll be the last time you see my breasts before the baby is born. I'm serious" she smiles at me.
"Ok, I'll behave then" I nod.
"Good, now kiss me" Santana instructs.
"Oh, just like that?" I smirk.
"Yeah, so kiss me. Now!" she states.
"Ok" I laugh.
I pull Santana towards me a bit and wrap my arms around her waist. I then lean in even closer and kiss her. I feel her kiss me back harder so I grip her waist and help her up onto the counter as she wraps her legs around me. We continue to make out for a little bit as our hands start to roam each other's bodies. I grip onto Santana's waist as she buries her hands in my hair as the kissing intensifies.
"We should take this to the bedroom" Santana says breathlessly as we pull out of our embrace.
"Yeah, we definitely should" I nod in agreement. "Let's go" I say as I help her get down and take her hand to lead her upstairs to our bedroom.
After spending a while in bed together, having some well needed one on one time we reluctantly get up and get dressed again. I then check on Jaxon while letting Santana have 10 minutes to herself to just rest. She has been working a lot harder than I have recently so she deserved a little extra time to relax. We've now just finished eating lunch so Santana is with Jaxon in the living room while I'm folding away some laundry upstairs.
"Brittany! Brittany!" Santana shrieks loudly. "Come quick…hurry!" she screams.
"I'm coming" I reply while rushing out of the bedroom and down the stairs. "Are you ok, have you hurt yourself? Is Jaxon ok? Is the baby ok?" I ask frantically as I run into the living room.
"It's Jaxon" Santana replies.
"Oh my god, what's happened?" I ask as my heart beats faster and faster in panic.
"He's trying to crawl across the room?" Santana tells me as we watch him at the other side of the room trying to hold himself up on his hands and knees.
"I need to get my phone to video this" I say frantically. This is a different sort of frantic now though. Initially I was so scared something happened to him but now I'm just scared I can't film this on time before he stops.
"Hurry up then because I don't know if he's going to manage so he might fall over soon" Santana replies.
"Where is my phone?" I ask as I look around for it.
"How would I know?" Santana chuckles.
"Because you took it off me when I started texting people instead of giving you attention" I state.
"Oh yeah" she laughs. "It's in the kitchen, I remember now" she adds.
"I'll be back in a second" I say as I run to the kitchen to grab my phone. As soon as I get it, I run back to the living room and start recording Jaxon on my phone as he continues to crawl.
"You are doing so well right now buddy" Santana says as she walks over to him. "And you're so cute doing it baby" she says smiling at him. The smile Jaxon sees on his mom's face causes him to stop crawling and just begin giggling as he reaches out for Santana.
"Way to interrupt honey" I tease.
"I'm sorry" she replies as she picks up Jaxon. "He is just so damn cute though" she says as she kisses all over our son's face.
"Can I see him for a second please" I say as I take Jaxon from Santana.
"Sure" Santana nods.
"I know he can crawl on his hands and knees but I wonder how he would be with standing up with my support" I say as I hold him upright as his tiny feet touch the floor. "Hey buddy, why don't you try and stand up yourself or even pull yourself up on your own?" I say as I hold him around the waist to try and help him stay balanced.
"That's a little bit advanced babe, is it not?" Santana states. "He's only 5 months old so I think it's asking a little much of him right now. He's only just been able to hold up his weight when sitting and crawling."
"Yes, but he's your son" I say as I place him sitting back down on the ground.
"I know that" she laughs confused. "What has that statement got to do with anything we're talking about?" she asks.
"I'm just saying he's your son and you're super smart so he could be as equally smart as you therefore be advanced for his age therefore stand before anyone else his age" I explain.
"Oh, ok. I understand" Santana smiles.
"Oh my god he is doing it, he is actually doing it right now" I say in complete shock as Jaxon begins holding onto the table in front of us. "I was half joking really when I said he could start doing things like this but now he is literally doing it on his own."
"I am so proud of you right now Jaxon" Santana says as she watches his every move from the other side so he doesn't fall and hurt himself.
"Our children are going to be little geniuses" I say excitedly.
"I agree" Santana states.

*Saturday 25th February 2023*
Santana and I are at work right now while Jaxon is with Ashley. Even though we're both at work we haven't actually seen each other this morning. I got up first and got ready for the day while Santana was still in bed. I waited until Ashley arrived before heading out to work. Santana didn't come into work until a little later. We were supposed to be going to work together but she was sound asleep when I woke up so I decided it was better for her to get her much needed rest so I told Ashley to let Santana know where I was when she got up and that she didn't need to rush into work. The only reason I know she is now at work is because my colleagues mentioned she went straight to our office when I was in a meeting. I'm just on my way to my office right now.
"Hey sexy" I say as I wink at my wife as I walk into our office.
"Uh…hi" she replies nervously laughing.
"How much do you want me right now?" I ask as I walk towards her desk.
"I'm working honey" she tells me with a smile.
"That's fine but it's not what I asked babe. I asked how much do you want me right now so I'll say it again, how much do you want me?" I reply as I take a seat on the desk next to her chair.
"What is going on with you right now?" she says confused but laughs at the same time. We are supposed to be in work mode right now so I can see why she doesn't understand why I'm asking her this.
"I'm just curious how turned on you are right now?" I say.
"I'm not going to lie babe; I'm not really turned on at all right now. You are hot and everything but my mind has been on work for the last hour so it's not in a sexy place right now" she admits.
"Ok, fair enough" I shrug.
"Baby, I am so confused right now about what's going on" she laughs. "You asking me that seems very random especially when we're at work so what is really going on?" she wonders.
"What did you dream about last night?" I ask my wife.
"Brittany, tell me what is going on? You're being so random right now" Santana laughs.
"Let's just say I am feeling quite smug right now because I know for a fact you want me like all of the time these days" I smirk.
"I will admit that my sex drive has been through the roof recently due to the pregnancy and the hormone changes but I wouldn't say I want you all of the time. I mean I did just say that I'm in work mode right now so my mind is not on sex" she tells me.
"Ok maybe you don't want me every minute of the day which is fine because I get it but you do want me more than you're letting on and I know this for a fact" I say smugly.
"Please stop beating around the bush and just tell me what's going on?" she states.
"What did you dream about last night?" I ask again.
"You just asked me that and to be honest, I don't actually remember. It must have been one of those dreams that you have but then you can't recall what happened in them" Santana replies. "Anyway, why are you asking me about what I dreamt about last night?" she asks curiously.
"The reason I'm saying you want me all the time is because you were moaning my name in your sleep last night" I smirk.
"I was?" Santana says surprised. "Oh my god, I was!" she says in realisation a minute later as the dream comes back to her.
"Yeah, you were really moaning it. I tried waking you up but you didn't and just turned around" I tell her.
"Ok so hold on, you went through all of that chit chat just to remind me that I had a sex dream last night?" she asks.
"Yeah, because I was so happy about it. It clearly means you do want me when you don't even know you do" I say smugly.
"You could have just said, 'hey Santana you had a sex dream last night and that makes me feel so smug right now' instead of wasting ten minutes confusing me" Santana tells me.
"I was just teasing you because I wanted to know if you knew what happened last night before I told you. Like I say though it was cute and I like that even in your sleep you're still thinking about me" I smile.
"If I remember correctly, the dream was great. We had some amazing sex. In fact, thinking about it now really makes me want to do it for real tonight if you're up for it" she replies.
"Yeah, I definitely am" I smirk.
"Firstly though, we do need to work right now but it will be worth it later" Santana says.
"I know and I'll look forward to it" I smile.
As soon as I finished work for the day, I got packed up and got ready to head home. Santana was unsure about coming home with me since she hadn't been at work as long as I had today but I convinced her to finish early. She has been working so hard recently working overtime some nights so I think she has more than made up for finishing early today. Santana and I have now just gotten home and are catching up with Ashley as usual to make sure everything has been ok with Jaxon.
"Jaxon is still asleep so I won't wake him" Ashley says as she puts her jacket on and gets ready to leave.
"That's fine" Santana nods. "We'll see you tomorrow then" she smiles.
"See you both tomorrow" Ashley smiles back before heading out the front door.
"Finally, a little alone time" Santana says as she pulls me to the living room and pushes me onto the couch.
"With Jaxon still asleep then that is true, we are alone now" I smirk at her.
"No time like the present then to have some fun" she smirks back as she throws herself on top of me. She then leans in close and kisses me passionately. I immediately kiss her back as I run my hands up and down her body.
"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry" Ashley states, looking embarrassed, interrupting us.
"It's ok" Santana says as she quickly pulls away from me.
"I left my keys on the table" Ashley says as she runs over and grabs them. "Again, I really am sorry for interrupting" she apologises.
"Honestly it's fine, Brittany just couldn't keep her hands off me so it's her fault really" Santana shrugs as she climbs off me.
"Oh, come on" I say as I start laughing. "You're the one lying on top of me so Ashley is going to hardly believe it was all my idea."
"Yeah, I am guilty" Santana laughs. "I just couldn't keep my hands off her tonight but I am sorry for making you uncomfortable."
"It's fine, it's my fault for leaving my keys and then walking in without knocking. I should go now and leave you both to it" Ashley says before dashing out the door.
"I feel really bad she saw that but I also sorta don't care because I just want you right now" Santana says as she pushes me back down and climbs on top of me.
"Yeah, I'm sure she'll survive" I shrug. I do feel bad as well but like Santana said, we just need a little time for each other so Ashley being embarrassed is not high on my list of priorities right now.
"You're not about to text her and apologise or something, right?" Santana asks in concern.
"No, I'm with you right now so I'm going to put my focus on you" I state.
"Glad to hear it because you have a habit of making people feel better even when I'm right here" she tells me.
"I love you now come here" I say as I pull her close and kiss her.
Let me know what you think.
