Chapter 47: Baby Pierce No. 2
Santana's POV
*Sunday 23rd July 2023*
Today is my sister's birthday so the whole family is going to my parent's house to have dinner and celebrate her birthday with her. My parents will obviously be there, along with my grandparents, my brother and his girlfriend; my wife and son; and of course, my sister. I think Jessica is going to be there as well which is nice because at the end of the day, she is still my sister's best friend and even though Carly doesn't know what's going on, she wants the people closest to her to be there.
"Are we ready to go inside?" Brittany asks me as she pulls up outside of my parent's house and puts the car in park.
"Yeah" I nod. "You'll need to help get me out of the car first before getting Jaxon from the back" I add.
"Is your back really sore today?" she asks as she places her hand comfortingly on top of mine.
"No" I reply confused.
"Why am I helping you out of the car then?" Brittany asks, equally confused.
"Because I'm 9 months pregnant. I don't think I need to say anything more on that" I shrug.
"Ok" Brittany laughs before removing her hand and opening the car door.
"What's so funny?" I ask curiously.
"You're just cute" Brittany smiles. She then gets out and runs around to my side of the car.
"Thank you" I say as Brittany takes my hand and helps me from the car. "I will get my sister's presents from the trunk and you can get Jaxon" I add.
"Ok" Brittany nods with a smile.
As soon as we get everything out of the car, we walk over to the door and walk inside. I place the presents down in the hall and then we take Jaxon to the kitchen to find my family. Only my mom and dad are in the kitchen, cooking. We talk to them for a few minutes before we go to find the rest of my family. The minute we walk into the living room and glance around the room to see who is in there, my good mood quickly vanishes.
"Great, my favourite person is here" I say quietly to my wife as I roll my eyes.
"Matt is Carly's boyfriend so I think she would be very upset that he wasn't here at her birthday dinner. I know you don't like him but if he wasn't here then he would be a seriously messed up individual" Brittany replies.
"Every time I see his face, I sort of want to hit him, do you know what I mean" I sigh.
"Remember tonight is about Carly so let's not cause a scene on her birthday" Brittany says.
"I won't but it won't stop me from venting to you about how I feel" I point out.
"That's fine, honey" she smiles at me. "Hey birthday girl" Brittany says to Carly as we walk further into the room.
"Hey" Carly replies with a smile. "Hi Jaxon" she says as she bends down to his level to talk to him.
"Come on, let's get you out of your car seat and you can see Auntie Carly" Brittany says as she places the car seat on the ground and bends down to unfasten Jaxon from it.
"So, Santana, don't you have something to say to me?" Carly asks as she smirks at me.
"Shit, sorry. Blame it on the pregnancy brain" I say shaking my head.
"Santana!" Brittany says seriously, giving me a warning look. I guess I shouldn't have swore but I was annoyed at myself for forgetting to wish my sister happy birthday.
"Happy birthday, honey" I say as I hug my sister.
"Thank you" Carly smiles.
"Do you want to say happy birthday Jaxon?" Brittany asks as she places him in Carly's arms.
"I think he does" Carly laughs as Jaxon excitedly jumps around in her arms.
"Can you keep a hold of Jax for a second Carly while I walk Santana to the naughty step" Brittany says smirking at me.
"I swore once, it's not that big of a deal" I say dismissing my wife.
"It will be a big deal if Jaxon starts saying that word around the dinner table. He latches onto things easily so let's hope he hasn't registered it" Brittany replies.
"I don't think he heard me so relax" I say as I kiss my wife's cheek. "Anyway, let's move on because you need to go and get me a drink and I need to sit down, my feet are killing me" I add.
"Ok, I'll be back in a couple of minutes" Brittany smiles before leaving the room for the kitchen.
"So, how are you?" I ask my sister as we sit down on the couch with Jaxon.
"I'm really good, my birthday has been amazing so far. I got some really nice gifts and I'm spending the day with my family who I love" Carly smiles.
"Speaking of gifts, that's some sparkling jewellery you're wearing right now" I point out. "Is that what Matt got you for your birthday?" I ask annoyed. I'm annoyed at the fact he is such a dick but yet clearly has good taste in jewellery.
"No, the necklace and earrings are actually from Jess" she replies.
"They're really beautiful" I smile. Ok, that's 1 to Jess and 0 to Matt.
"Speaking of Jess, I hope she gets here soon" Carly says as she glances out of the window to see if there is anyone coming along the road.
"I'm sure she'll be here soon" I reply.
"Who will be here soon?" Brittany asks as she hands me a glass of water and squeezes into the last space on the sofa next to Carly and I.
"Jessica" I reply.
"She's already here, she's in the kitchen talking to Maribel" Brittany replies.
"I'm going to go and find her so I can thank her for the birthday presents" Carly says before getting up from her seat and walking out the door with Jaxon.
"So, Marco, what did you get our sister for her birthday?" I ask my brother curiously.
"Be careful with the answer Marc, it's a trick question because whatever you say will not be as good as Santana's gift to her sister" Brittany says teasing me.
"She's right, I can't even deny it" I say laughing.
"To answer your question though, Laura and I got her music tickets to see that band she is obsessed with right now" Marco replies.
"That's actually a pretty nice gift" I say impressed. "What about you Matt, what did you get Carly?" I ask but he doesn't reply.
"Hey Matt, do you want to put that phone down!" Brittany says loudly, causing Matt to get a bit of fright which just amuses me so much. "It's your girlfriend's birthday and people are talking to you right now" she adds.
"Sorry" Matt apologises as he slips his phone into his pocket.
"We were just discussing what we all got Carly for her birthday" Marco tells Matt.
"Oh right" Matt nods.
"What did you get Carly?" I ask again but he doesn't get a chance to answer because Jessica and Carly walking into the room interrupts us.
"Hey" Carly says to Matt as she sits down next to him while Jessica sits next to me with Jaxon.
"Hey" Matt smiles. He then leans in and kisses Carly. As soon as he does it, I can see the heartbreak on Jessica's face.
"Are you ok?" I ask Jessica quietly.
"I'm fine" Jessica shrugs.
"You need to tell Carly how you really feel" I state.
"I can't Santana, I just can't" she sighs.
"Marc was just telling us he got you music tickets Carly, so who are you taking to the concert with you?" Brittany asks nosily.
"It certainly won't be me, not my style of music" Matt laughs.
"I'm free" Brittany shrugs.
"She's not taking you babe, you're too busy at the moment looking after you son and pregnant wife" I laugh.
"Fair enough" Brittany nods.
"I'm actually taking Jess anyway" Carly smiles at her best friend.
"Yeah, we're going in a couple of weeks and it should be a good night so I'm looking forward to it" Jessica replies, smiling back at Carly.
After we all talked for a while, my grandparents arrived so everyone caught up with them. My parents then finished cooking so we're all sitting down together now to eat except for Brittany. She's just in the kitchen quickly making Jaxon something to eat so he can eat at the same time as us with his family. I've got to say, I am not enjoying myself right now because Matt is seated right across the table from me and the urge to just stretch my leg out and kick him is so strong right now.
"When can we start eating, I'm hungry?" I hear Matt whisper to Carly.
"Once everyone is seated. Brittany and Jaxon aren't here yet" Carly whispers back.
"Some people are so damn rude" I mutter quietly to myself. I promised my wife I wouldn't cause a scene so I won't, but I am livid right now.
"I know but tonight is for Carly" Jessica whispers to me.
"Did you hear him too?" I ask Jessica.
"Yeah, I did" Jessica nods her head, while giving Matt a subtle glare.
"Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to keep you from eating" Brittany says as she rushes into the dining room with Jaxon and his food.
"It's ok Brittany, we didn't mind waiting" my mom smiles.
"You're here now so we can all start" I say. Everyone then begins to eat their food.
"So, it won't be long before we have two grandchildren in the family" my mom says excitedly.
"I know. Britt thinks I could probably give birth this week or something but I'm not so sure. I think with the way things are going, it'll just be my luck for the baby to be overdue" I reply.
"No, I don't think so babe" Brittany disagrees with me.
"I guess we just need to wait and see" I shrug.
"Do you know what you're going to name the baby yet?" my grandpa asks.
"We're still thinking about it" Brittany replies.
"We have a few names in mind though" I smile.
"Yeah, we do so we're going to wait until the baby is born I think to make the final decision" Brittany says.
After eating and catching up for a while, we all decide it's time to tidy up the dinner plates and then we can spend some more time celebrating Carly's birthday. Dinner wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be because Matt pretty much kept quiet and if he did say something, thankfully it wasn't anything that annoyed me. It certainly doesn't mean I'm going to like him any better now because I still feel how I feel.
"Let me get the plates Maribel because you and Carlos did all of the cooking tonight" Brittany says as she begins clearing away the plates.
"I'll help you" Jessica says as she begins to help clear the table.
"Yeah, Marc and I will help too" my brother's girlfriend Laura says as the 4 of them begin taking the dishes to the kitchen.
"You don't need to help babe; you can take a seat in the living room with everyone else" Brittany assures me as she begins loading the dishwasher.
"I know but I'd rather be wherever you are" I state.
"That's cute" Jessica smiles at us.
"No, it's not because she loves me, it's because she has to be around me so I can stop her from saying or doing anything to Matt" Brittany teases.
"Yeah, it's not because I like being around her because I'm not overly bothered by that. It's more of a necessity right now strictly for safety reasons" I laugh.
"You two are forgetting that I work for you now so I know you both" Jessica points out.
"Ok so yeah I do love being around Brittany constantly but to be honest, right now I do need to be around her for the other reason more" I say.
"Yeah, so Santana has to be by my side tonight to prevent her punching him in the face" Brittany nods.
"Santana wants to punch who in the face?" Marco asks confused as he and Laura walk into the kitchen with some more dishes.
"I want to punch Matt in the face" I tell my brother with a shrug.
"Why?" Marco chuckles.
"What do you mean why? Don't you want to punch him too?" I question.
"No, not really" Marco shakes his head.
"I don't understand, why would you or Marc need to punch Matt in the face?" Laura asks confused.
"Because of the way he treats Carly" I state. "Marco, don't you care about our sister at all?" I question.
"Of course, I care about her" Marco states offendedly. "Look, what am I missing here?" he asks.
"It's come to our attention recently that Matt hasn't been the best boyfriend to Carly. It just started with him saying a few questionable things that annoyed Santana but then Jessica and I noticed him not being there for Carly at certain times when he should. This is only our opinion though so we don't want to inflict that on you" Brittany explains.
"You guys have got me worried now" Marco states.
"No please don't let us influence how you feel because from your point of view if you're not seeing anything out of the ordinary then that's fine. Santana and Jessica feel how they feel but we're not saying anything because we don't want to cause unnecessary harm because Carly seems happy tonight and we'd hate to ruin her birthday" Brittany replies.
"This just seems weird to me because I knew Santana seemed a little frosty towards him recently but everyone else seemed to all like Matt…or so I thought" Marco replies.
"Don't get me wrong I liked Matt in the beginning but that comment he made a couple of Christmases ago about not wanting the same future as Carly got me thinking. I didn't say anything in the beginning but now more things are unravelling so he's starting to piss me off" I tell my brother.
"Yeah, and Carly and I aren't ones to get involved in each other's relationships but I've noticed a few times recently where he has let her down so my feelings towards him have changed" Jessica replies.
"I guess I'll need to keep an eye on things then because if he's mistreating my sister then we should do something about it" Marco replies.
"That's what I think but Brittany says we shouldn't do anything right now" I state.
"It's only because I don't want to ruin Carly's birthday but if he does step out of line tonight then we can say something" Brittany replies.
"Ok" Marco nods.
After clearing up everything in the kitchen, Jessica, Marco and Laura went to the living room to join everyone else. Brittany was going to join everyone as well but I pulled her aside for a second because I wanted to talk to her about something.
"I love you, you know" I smile at Brittany.
"I know, honey" Brittany chuckles.
"I'm being serious" I tell her.
"I know you're being serious, but I'm just laughing because it seemed like a rather random thing to say at this moment" she replies.
"It wasn't random to me because I was thinking about certain things in my head so it made sense to say it to you" I explain. "I was just thinking about how much it means to me that you'd do not only anything for me but for my family too. I mean you don't see Matt exactly bending over backwards for my sister never mind my family. I mean by the sounds of things it was a real struggle for him to attend tonight whereas you said you'd come without a second thought."
"You'd do the same for my family though so it's not a big thing" Brittany shrugs.
"It is a big thing to me because in any of my other relationships my partner has never did these kind of things" I say.
"I'm different though Santana, I'm your wife not just some girl you're dating so it's not uncommon for your wife to attend family gatherings with you" she states.
"You're not getting my point but never mind, all I'm saying is that I think you're amazing and I love you a lot" I tell her.
"Well, I love you too" Brittany smiles.
"Come here" I smirk as I hold out my hand to her.
"If this is going where I think it is then let's not, babe" she replies.
"I just want to kiss you so come here" I laugh as I continue to hold my hand out to her.
"The smirk etched across your face tells me you have more than a quick peck on your mind" Brittany smiles as she makes no attempt to move closer to me or take my hand.
"Britt, stop being mean and come closer to me" I say, childishly whining.
"Ok, calm down" Brittany laughs as she comes closer to me and places her hand in mine.
"I just wanna kiss you" I say as I pull her close and place my hands on her waist. I then lean up and kiss her lips.
"Not yet" Brittany mumbles as I go to pull away.
"Ok" I smile before leaning back in to kiss her again.
"Making out again, no wonder you got pregnant so quickly after Jax" Carly says teasing us as she enters the kitchen.
"Yeah, Brittany just can't keep her hands off me" I smirk.
"That is true but we all know you started it tonight" Brittany laughs.
"Yeah, I very much did start it but I really don't care" I say before kissing Brittany's cheek.
"So, what's going on?" Brittany asks Carly curiously.
"I just came to get Jaxon's milk for him" Carly replies.
"Oh, I'll do that, you don't need to be running around after people on your birthday" Brittany replies as we remove our hands from each other.
"I don't mind because Jaxon is my nephew and he's the cutest thing ever" Carly smiles.
"Yeah, he is pretty darn cute" I smile.
"Cute like his mommy" Brittany adds as she smiles at me.
"I can agree with that" I laugh. "Anyway, you go back to the living room and Brittany and I will be there with Jaxon's milk in a second" I say.
"Ok" Carly replies before turning around to leave the room.
"We need to go now Carly" Matt says walking into the room before Carly can leave.
"Already, I wasn't done spending time with my family yet" Carly states sadly.
"Yeah, what's the rush?" Brittany asks with a shrug.
"It's just time we went home" Matt states.
"I was going to feed Jaxon though so I can't leave right now" Carly tells her boyfriend.
"I'm sure one of his parent's could feed him" Matt replies.
"Yes, they could but the fact is that Carly wants to feed her nephew and spend a little time with him" I point out. "Also, she wouldn't mind staying a little longer to spend time with her family on her birthday" I add.
"I know you think you're better than everyone Santana, you've made that quite clear tonight, but she is my girlfriend so I have every right to want to spend some more of her birthday with her and only her" Matt states annoyed.
"Hey, watch the tone with my wife" Brittany warns him, surprising me. I know she would defend me to the end of the earth so that's not surprising but it's surprising right now because she doesn't usually jump so quickly when it comes to confrontation. She is a lot calmer than I am and doesn't like causing scenes.
"I can speak in whatever tone I want to" Matt replies, glaring at Brittany.
"Guys come on, let's not start arguing on my birthday" Carly states, trying to keep everyone calm.
"I'm sorry Carly to lower the tone at your birthday dinner but things need said because Matt's behaviour tonight towards my wife is not okay" Brittany replies.
"My behaviour?" Matt asks in disbelief.
"I've seen the looks and heard the comments tonight directed towards my wife and I've had enough now. You thought no one was looking when you would glare at something Santana said and you thought no one heard you when you were in the living room on your own on the phone earlier but I heard you, so one more word from you and I'll cut your balls off, are we clear?" Brittany states seriously.
"I'm not afraid of you Brittany" Matt laughs.
"You should be" Brittany replies with a shrug.
"Please can everyone just stop" Carly sighs.
"I could see Santana saying and doing something violent but not you Brittany. You're just Santana's little lap dog that follows her around and answers to her every command" Matt says, continuing to laugh.
"Just because I handle myself in a different way from Santana does not mean I'm her lap-dog. You really want to be careful right now with what you say because I seriously will do something to you" Brittany says. I can sense her getting angrier and angrier by the second.
"You're all bark and no bite Brittany" Matt shrugs.
"Trust me, I'm not and I wouldn't advise you find out anyway" Brittany replies.
"You're just some stupid girl…actually you're not even a girl, are you?" Matt laughs.
"Ok that is it…" I say, the rage boiling up in me.
"Go home Matt" Carly says before I get a chance to do anything.
"Good idea, let's go" Matt nods.
"Yeah, if you think I'm coming with you then you have another thing coming. I'm staying here tonight so right now; you need to go" Carly states seriously.
"But…"
"What you just said is completely inappropriate so I don't even want to look at you tonight" Carly says shaking her head in disgust.
"But Brittany said some horrible and threating things too" Matt responds childishly.
"Yeah, but you went below the belt" Carly sighs.
"Literally" Brittany chuckles.
"I didn't mean that Brittany, I'm sorry" Carly apologises.
"It's ok" Brittany smiles.
"I don't know how you can make a joke out of this babe; I am fuming. I want to kill him for saying that" I state.
"I've heard it all before and honestly, it just goes over my head now" Brittany shrugs.
"Matt, just go please and we'll talk tomorrow or something" Carly states.
"Fine" Matt huffs before walking out of the kitchen and leaving the house.
"He's such an ass" I say while shaking my head.
"I know" Brittany nods in agreement.
"Even though I asked Matt to leave, I am still mad at you for attacking him. What he said wasn't appropriate and I know that but I don't appreciate you starting the attack on him either" Carly says with a sigh.
"Excuse me, Brittany said what she did because he started attacking me first. She was only defending her wife" I point out.
"I didn't mean just solely Brittany, I meant you as in you both. You have made some comments throughout the night Santana but I didn't mention anything because I wanted my birthday to be nice with everyone I love but I'm bringing it up now because it's went too far" Carly states.
"Look, I am sorry for ruining your night Carly and I am sorry for the way you feel now due to what I said about Matt but what I won't apologise for is defending my wife" Brittany says seriously.
"I don't want to have to pick between my sister and my boyfriend" Carly sighs, looking at me.
"I'm not asking you to but let's be real, Matt isn't who he used to be and honestly, I don't think he's good enough for you anymore. You deserve better" I say honestly.
"I know you're free to have an opinion Santana but some things are better left unsaid. I don't say things about your relationship with Brittany so I'd rather you didn't get involved in mine regardless of what you think about Matt" Carly tells me.
"Fine" I say while rolling my eyes. This whole thing has taken a turn it didn't need to.
"Maybe it's best we all cool off and talk when tensions aren't as high" Brittany suggests.
"Yeah, I'm good with that so I'm going to spend what is left of my birthday with my family starting with feeding my nephew" Carly replies as she takes Jaxon's milk from Brittany.
"Ok" I smile.
The three of us then head to the living room to join everyone else. Of course, there is questions about where Matt is but fortunately Carly managed to come up with a convincing story about him needing to go home early since he's working tomorrow. I'm not sure my brother or Jessica bought the story since they know about the tension between some of us but the rest of my family seemed to buy it.

Brittany, Jaxon and I are all back home now. We're just spending some time together as a little family. As much as it's nice, I've still got a few other things on my mind so I'm not able to enjoy it as much as I usually would. The whole argument with Matt is playing on my mind because I feel so strongly about things but at the same time, this is not what needed to happen on my sister's birthday. She was enjoying herself until things all kicked off.
"Hey, you ok?" Brittany asks looking at me.
"Yeah" I smile. "I'm sorry I'm being so quiet right now but the situation with Matt is still playing on my mind. I will try and forget about it right now though because I want to spend time with you and Jax" I add.
"Ok" Brittany smiles back before placing Jaxon on my lap. "Are you hugging the baby?" she asks Jaxon as he hugs my stomach.
"Jaxon seems very fascinated with my stomach at the moment" I say amused.
"I know" Brittany smiles.
"That's your baby brother or sister in there" I tell Jaxon.
"Yeah, that's a baby in there" Brittany tells our son as she gently caresses my baby bump.
"Baby?" Jaxon questions as he points to my stomach.
"Yeah, a little brother or little sister for you" Brittany nods.
"Mine?" Jaxon asks.
"Yes, your little brother or little sister" I smile.
"Yeeeaah" Jaxon says clapping his hands together excitedly.
"The baby will be here soon" Brittany replies.
"Honey don't tell him that because he doesn't know what soon is. He'll be thinking the baby will be here tonight or something" I laugh. He's still very young himself so he doesn't have any concept of time at the moment.
"Sorry" she laughs.
After spending a little more time with Jaxon, we put him to bed. He went to sleep straight away but we weren't surprised because he's been awake a lot longer than usual. It was already past his bedtime when we got home from my parent's house and I know we should have put him straight to bed but we didn't want to. We just wanted to spend some quality time with our little boy. Brittany and I have just finished getting ready for bed and have slipped under the covers.
"You were so hot tonight, defending me" I say with a smile as I turn to face Brittany.
"You know I don't like confrontation but he was really pushing my buttons tonight so I had to say something" she tells me as she too turns to face me.
"I'm glad you did although I'm not glad he said some of the things he did" I state.
"Comments like that used to hurt me but not anymore. Unfortunately, I've got used to them but more to the point I don't care anymore. I've realised now that people only target your insecurities because they're either jealous of you or they just want to hurt you and know comments like that will do it" Brittany shrugs.
"That is pretty true" I nod.
"At the end of the day I get to go home with my beautiful family who love me as I am so I don't let things like that bother me anymore. Like I say he didn't say it because he actually meant it and felt that way, he said it because he knew it would hurt me" she says.
"Yeah, I get that" I nod. "So, what kind of things did he say about me?" I ask curiously.
"It was more the facial expressions he pulled that pissed me off. You would say something and he would roll his eyes or shake his head" Brittany points out. "It was just like he wouldn't respect anything you had to say."
"I just hope my sister forgives us for what's went on" I sigh.
"I think she will because eventually she'll see what he's like. Unfortunately, she might just end up getting hurt along the way and have to make her own mistakes first" Brittany replies.
"Hopefully it's sooner rather than later" I state.
"Yeah" Brittany nods in agreement.
"Anyway, I don't want to talk about that right now. I want to do other things" I smile.
"Sleep, I'm sure" Brittany smiles back.
"Nah, I don't want to go to sleep right now" I shrug, a slight smirk appearing across my face.
"So, what else do…, oh" she nods in realisation at what I mean.
"You up for it?" I ask teasingly.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely up for sex right now" Brittany replies as she pulls me close and kisses me.

*Friday 28th July 2023*
Brittany, Jaxon and I have been hanging out at home for the last few days and as much as it's supposed to be a relaxing time leading up to the birth of my second child, I am so bored. I really don't want to be stuck indoors anymore, I want to go out and get some fresh air. There is only so much you can do to amuse yourself at home before everything runs out or you get tired of it. I mean it's ok when Jaxon and Brittany are around because they keep me entertained but when Jaxon is napping and Brittany is working or whatever, I'm just sitting alone with my thoughts which aren't the best thoughts at the moment. I'm getting so nervous at the moment about the impending birth so I'm not in the happiest of headspaces.
"Hey, let's go out somewhere" I state as I walk into the living room to see Brittany and Jaxon.
"Uh…let's not babe" Brittany says seriously. "Your due date is today so we're not taking any risks. The last thing we need is to be out somewhere and for you to go into labor when we're not prepared" she adds.
"I've told you already, with my luck this baby is going to be overdue so we don't need to worry right now" I shrug.
"No, I'm sorry we're still not going out today" Brittany shakes her head.
"So, what you want me and our unborn baby to be stuck indoors all day going crazy? That cannot be healthy physically or mentally" I point out.
"Trust me on this please, Santana" she states.
"Honey, you know I trust you with all my heart but something about this doesn't feel right. I honestly don't think today is the day" I shrug again.
"That's fine but I still don't want to take any chances so let's be on the safe side and stay at home today" she tells me.
"Fine, ok" I sigh. "Since I'm doing this for you then you have to do something for me" I state.
"Ok, what's that?" Brittany asks curiously.
"You need to entertain me to stop me from being bored all day stuck at home" I reply.
"Ok, I can do that" Brittany smiles at me.
"First of all, I want to interest you in a little bet. I bet you 10 bucks this baby is born late and it won't be today" I say.
"Ok, it's a deal" Brittany smiles. "I'm really confident it will be born to term so I'm happy to win a nice little bit of money."
"We'll see about that" I say confidently. I think I have the better odds than Brittany here but I guess we'll just need to wait and see.
"So, I need to entertain you now" Brittany smiles.
"That's right" I nod.
"Do you want to have sex; I mean that would certainly entertain you I think" Brittany smirks.
"I usually like a bit of spontaneity or be in the moment when it comes to sex instead of planning it but right now, I wouldn't mind having sex with you" I smirk back.
"Excellent" my wife says, still smirking. "Let's put Jaxon down for a nap and then we can go to our bedroom" she says as the three of us head upstairs.
As soon as we get Jaxon settled in his own room, Brittany and I head to ours. Brittany gently places the baby monitor down at the side and closes the door behind us. I meanwhile close the drapes and pull the covers back on the bed.
"Will I do a little dance for you or maybe a little striptease?" she asks me as I take a seat on the bed to slip my shoes off.
"Yes please" I say as I lean back on the bed to watch my wife.
The minute Brittany starts dancing, it just instantly does things to me. She is such a good dancer and so sexy when she does it that I can't take my eyes off of her. The stripping of her clothes doesn't hurt either because she looks amazing with or without her clothes on.
"I am so turned on right now" I say as I lustfully stare at my wife.
"Watching you get so turned on kinda turns me on even more" Brittany admits as she throws another item of clothing to the floor.
"Come here" I smile as I hold my hand out to her. "You need to help me undress now" I tell as she walks towards me and leans down to kiss me.
After kissing for a moment, Brittany reaches down and pulls my shirt up and over my body to remove it. I then lean back slightly so she can remove my pants from my legs before she tosses them to the pile of clothes on the floor. It doesn't take us long before we're stripping ourselves of our underwear and slipping into bed together. Brittany wraps her arms around me and kisses me before shuffling around to lie behind me.
"Are you in yet?" I ask teasingly.
"You have to stop saying that because it's not funny, babe" Brittany laughs.
"You're laughing now though" I point out amused.
"I know but I'm laughing at you because you're cute. I'm not laughing at the fact you're trying to insinuate you wouldn't know the difference between me being in you or not. You should know the difference babe unless you're trying to tell me I'm bad at sex" Brittany tells me.
"No, I'm definitely not saying that" I assure her as I lift her hand and kiss the back of it.
"Good" she says before leaning in to kiss the side of my neck.

Jaxon is still napping at the moment but it doesn't actually surprise me because he didn't sleep very well last night whereas Brittany and I have been hanging out and eating lunch together. Something just doesn't feel right though because I've been feeling weird for the last 10 or so minutes. I thought it was some stomach pains from eating too much at lunch but as the minutes go by, I don't think that is the case. I'm just pacing up and down my bedroom, trying to get rid of this weird feeling when suddenly something different washes over me.
"Uh…I think I'm in labor Brittany" I say shocked as I feel what I think may be a contraction.
"Yeah, I think so too" Brittany tells me, equally as terrified as me.
"We should maybe go to the hospital now" I state.
"Yeah, I know" Brittany nods. "I really hate waking Jaxon from his nap but I'm going to have to because we don't have time to wait for someone to come over and babysit, we need to get you to the hospital" she says as she runs to our son's room.
"I'm going to make my way downstairs because we need to hurry. Just get Jaxon, the baby bag and my hospital bag and meet me by the car" I shout to my wife as I leave the room as hurriedly as a pregnant woman can.
As soon as we made it to the hospital, Brittany got Jaxon and the bag out of the back of the car before rushing around to help me out of the car. We then quickly made our way inside and spoke to my doctor. It didn't take long before I was settled in one of the birthing suites. We had called my parents and Brittany's parents on the way here and luckily neither set of parents were too far away so they came straight to the hospital. They're in the waiting room just now with Jaxon while Brittany is here with me. I'm really not having the best time right now because these contractions are coming thick and fast.
"I know it's hard but you're doing so amazing right now so keep going. I am going to be right here for you, ok" Brittany tells me.
"Ok" I nod.
"Do you want to hold my hand and you can squeeze it whenever you have a bad contraction?" Brittany asks me.
"Yeah" I reply as I grip my wife's hand.
"Hopefully it's not too long now before the baby is ready to come out" Brittany states.
"Yeah, hopefully because these contractions are no picnic" I sigh. You would think I would be used to this since I've given birth before but this just seems worse.
"I wish there was something more I could do to help you" Brittany points out.
"It's ok, you're doing enough to help me" I smile genuinely before quickly frowning. "Oh, god" I say as another contraction hits.
"Just squeeze my hand, babe" Brittany tells me.
"This really fucking sucks" I groan in pain as I grip Brittany's hand tightly.
"It'll be over soon" my wife replies reassuringly.
"Soon is not soon enough" I sigh as the contraction ends.
"I know it feels like that but it will be over eventually" Brittany says as she kisses my head.
"It doesn't feel like it" I sigh again as we let go of each other's hands.
"Oh my god, you're bleeding" Brittany says panicked as she notices blood on her hands.
"That's not me, babe" I shrug.
"Huh" she replies confused before looking at her hand. "Oh shit, my hand is bleeding. Why is my hand bleeding?" she states frantically.
"Sorry, not sorry" I shrug again.
"Oh babe, you've gripped my hands so tightly that your sharp nails have made them bleed" Brittany whines childishly.
"I don't really have time to give you any sympathy for a small scratch, I've kinda got a bigger situation to deal with…you know like pushing a fucking baby out of my lower half" I say unamused.
"It's not a small scratch, it's actually quite a deep cut that I might need some attention on. I wonder if they have some bandages I could borrow" Brittany replies.
"You'll need a full body cast when I'm done with you if you don't let me hold onto your damn hand again to ride out this contraction" I tell her seriously.
"Yeah, if looks alone could kill, I'd be dead already" she laughs nervously as she promptly holds out her hand to me.
"Just focus please because you know I don't do well when I'm in pain so for a few minutes let's just let me win this battle of who hurts the most" I state.
"I'm sorry, I do know you're in a worst position than me. My hand just stings a bit now" she apologises.
"Like I say, I would say sorry but I'm really not" I shrug.
"It's ok" Brittany laughs.
"Why are you laughing?" I ask confused.
"Because you're so cute sometimes and although some people would find what you say a little mean sometimes, I find it incredibly endearing" she tells me.
"I appreciate the compliment but I don't have time to take it right now so just help me" I state.
"Ok" she nods.
"Hey, how are we doing Santana?" the doctor asks, walking back into the room putting her gloves on.
"Not great" I groan as yet another contraction hits.
"Let's see if you're ready to deliver yet" the doctor smiles as she takes a seat at the bottom of the bed, ready to examine me.
"So?" I ask impatiently after a minute or so.
"You do seem dilated now so let's get this baby out" the doctor says as she smiles over at me.
"Thank god" I say in relief.
"Ok, I'm going to need you to give me a big push Santana" the doctor states.
"Ok" I say as I start pushing as hard as I can. "Fuck, this hurts so bad" I groan.
"Just push through the pain, honey" Brittany encourages me.
"I'm trying but it's so hard" I say in pain.
"I know it will be but just think about the end product. We'll have another little baby in our lives" she smiles.
"I guess" I nod.
"Hold onto my hand and squeeze it as hard as you need to" Brittany says as she grabs my hand. "It doesn't matter if it starts bleeding again" she smiles.
"Ok" I say. I would smile at her little joke but I don't have the energy right now.
"You are doing great Santana but the baby isn't quite out yet so another nice big push for me" the doctor tells me.
After a few minutes of what feels like an eternity of constantly pushing and being in pain, I hear the sound of a baby's cry. I lay my head back for a second to get my breath back, relieved to hear my baby cry since it means it's ok. I then lift my head again and look down to see the doctor holding my baby in her hands as my wife lets go of my hand and drifts towards the bottom of the bed. Brittany cuts the cord before my doctor places the baby in Brittany's arms.
"We have another boy Santana, look" Brittany smiles at me.
"He looks just like Jaxon" I say as I look at my son lying happily in Brittany's arms.
"He does which means he also looks like you and me because Jaxon looks like us" she says. "Are you ready to hold him now?" she asks.
"I am ready but I'll wait just now because he looks happy in your arms" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles back. "Hey, you were so amazing Santana" she tells me as she kisses my head.
"I couldn't have done it without you" I tell her honestly.
"Ok little guy, it's time to see your mommy" Brittany says as she gently places the baby in my arms.
"He's beautiful" I say, seeing my son close up for the first time.
"Yeah, he really is" Brittany tells me as she sits on the bed next to me and puts her arms around me.
"We just need Jaxon now and it'll be the perfect moment" I smile.
"I know and we'll get him in here really soon" she tells me.
"Good" I nod.
"Oh, before I forget, 10 bucks please" Brittany smirks at me.
"I beg your pardon?" I ask tiredly.
"We had a deal remember?" Brittany replies but I just look at her confused. "We bet each other 10 bucks where I said the baby would come today and you said it would be later this week" she adds.
"Oh that, I forgot about that" I nod.
"No, you didn't, you were just trying to pretend so you didn't need to part with 10 dollars" she smirks at me again.
"No, I did literally forget because I've had a lot of my mind since we made the deal. I mean I did just push a baby out of me" I shrug.
"Santana, I know you so I know you didn't forget" Brittany keeps smirking at me.
"Yeah, I really didn't forget" I reply laughing. God, that woman knows me so well. I really was trying to put her off the scent so she'd just say forget about it but the truth is I hate losing even if it's only 10 dollars to my wife.
"Ok, I'm going to tell everyone the good news and put them out of their misery. I'll be back in a second with Jaxon" Brittany says as she gets up from the bed.
"Ok" I smile.
After a few minutes, Brittany comes back into the room with Jaxon. My parents and Brittany's parents along with our siblings and friends are all following closely behind. As much as I am exhausted and not really up for entertaining so many visitors, it's actually really sweet that everyone came to the hospital to see our new baby.
"This is your little brother, Jaxon" Brittany tells him as she places him on the bed between us.
"Play?" Jaxon asks, looking up at Brittany.
"He's a little bit young to play with you right now but how about you, me and mommy play together when the baby takes a little nap?" I suggest to my son.
"Ok" Jaxon says excitedly.
"He looks so peaceful lying in your arms" Quinn tells me.
"I should hope so, he's been inside me for 9 months so I would hope he was just as comfortable outside as inside" I say amused.
"You know what I mean" Quinn smiles at me.
"He actually looks so much like Jaxon" Tina points out.
"We were just saying that actually" Brittany nods.
After spending time with our friends and family, they all eventually leave except for Brittany's parents. They're going to hang around a little longer to take care of Jaxon for us since we're not really in a position to be going anywhere right now. Jaxon is getting something to eat with Alison and David right now so it's just Brittany, the baby and me in my hospital room at the moment. I'm just sitting on the bed with the baby in my arms as Brittany sits next to us.
"So, what do we think about names for our son?" I ask curiously.
"I like a lot of names from the baby book we were reading but I think some of the ones that stuck out were Mason, Austin and Liam" Brittany replies.
"Yeah, those names are ok. I also liked Xavier and Parker" I add.
"I do sorta like Xavier actually" Brittany admits.
"Yeah, it's one of my favourites because it's a little different" I tell her.
"We're sorted then, Xavier Carlos Pierce it is" Brittany smiles.
"Yeah" I smile back. We agreed that his middle name would be named after my dad since our last name is named after Brittany's family.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Saturday 29th July 2023*
Jaxon went home with Brittany's parents last night so Brittany could stay at the hospital overnight with me. Things actually went quite smoothly much to my surprise. I know we have Jaxon so have done this before but every baby is different so I sort of thought the baby would cry all night or wouldn't feed or something but he was great. My doctor is currently with Xavier and I, routinely checking both of us over.
"Everything is looking good Santana so you and the baby are free to go now" the doctor smiles at me.
"Wait…I can go home already?" I ask surprised.
"Yeah, you and the baby are doing fine so I see no reason to keep you here unnecessarily" my doctor replies. "You've done all of this before with Jaxon so you have experience and as I say, medically you are both fit and healthy" she smiles.
"That's great then" Brittany smiles at me.
"I'll get all of the paperwork sorted out and we'll have you both out of here within the hour" the doctor states.
"Ok" I smile.
"I'll be back shortly to discharge you both" the doctor says before leaving the room.
"I'm excited now because I didn't think you'd both be able to go home so soon" Brittany smiles.
"Me too. I can't wait to get home and be a little family with you both and Jaxon" I smile back.
"Yeah, it'll be fun" Brittany nods. "Hey, if you're ok here yourself with Xavier for 10 minutes then I'm going to head out to the car to the get the car seat and everything so we're ready to go when we can" she adds.
"That's fine babe" I smile.
"Ok, I will be as quick as I can" Brittany says before kissing my cheek and then leaving to head out to the car.

Brittany and I are now at home with both of our children. We picked Jaxon up from Brittany's parents' house on the way home from the hospital. We didn't stay too long because we just wanted to get both kids home and settled for the day but we did spend 10 minutes with Brittany's parents before we left so they could see their new grandson again. Jaxon is taking his usual afternoon nap right now and our little baby is finally sleeping too.
"Hi" I whisper in Brittany's ear as I slip my arms around her waist from behind.
"Hey" she says, gently placing her hands on top of mine.
"I am so glad I can do this again and just hold you in my arms. For a while, there was too much stomach in the way so you always had to hold me" I say as I gently lean my chin on her shoulder.
"I liked it though" Brittany replies.
"Yeah, I did too but I also like having a little more freedom now" I tell her as I place a gentle kiss to her shoulder.
"So, what are you up to now?" Brittany asks me as she turns around in my arms and places her hands on my waist as mine move to around her neck.
"Not much, my parents, Marco and Carly are coming over this afternoon to see the kids" I reply.
"That's cool" Brittany smiles. "Hey, how are things with you and Carly now?" she asks curiously. Our relationship wasn't the same for a few days after her birthday.
"I think she's starting to forgive me or at least respect that I've had an opinion even if she doesn't agree with me" I reply. "Things are definitely not as tense as before but they're still not where they once were so hopefully we'll be better soon" I add.
"I haven't really spoken to her much but I feel like I should apologise again" Brittany states.
"She knows you didn't mean to cause a scene and knows you were just protecting me" I smile.
After spending some time together, my parents and siblings turned up. We caught up with them for a moment before it was soon time for everyone to start taking turns holding Xavier. My mom and dad had a turn each first before my sister had a hold of her new nephew. It's now time for my brother to hold Xavier which I'm a little nervous about. I don't mean any offence but he can be a typical boy sometimes so he's not always got the most delicate approach to things.
"Watch his head Marco" I tell my brother as Brittany places Xavier in his arms.
"He's ok Santana" my mom states.
"Marco, be careful with his head" I say, not listening to my mom.
"I am being careful Santana; I have held a baby before" my brother tells me.
"Yeah, he's held Jaxon before so it's fine" Brittany tells me.
"I mean, it could be worse, he could be holding your son in the air only by his foot" my dad says with a laugh.
"Why would you say something like that dad" I say unamused. The safety of my kids means everything to me.
"Because that's what you did with Marc when he was a baby" my dad replies.
"I certainly did not" I shake my head at my dad.
"You did sweetie" my mom says softly.
"Well, I was only two years old when he was born so you both have yourselves to blame for letting a toddler hold a new-born" I shrug.
"What a mean big sister you must have been" Brittany teases me.
"I will be a mean wife if you don't take my side" I say teasingly back.
"There aren't really sides in anything right now but ok" Brittany laughs. "Anyway, Xavier looks pretty chill in Marc's arms so everything is fine" she shrugs as she sits down next to them.
"Yeah, and Jaxon looks pretty happy playing with his toys so both kids seem content" I smile.
"Exactly" Brittany nods.
"Hey, can we talk?" Carly asks me as she walks over to me.
"Sure" I smile.
"In private" she says quietly.
"Yeah of course, let's go upstairs" I state. "Hey Britt, Carly and I are going upstairs for a second so are you ok here with the boys and everyone?" I ask my wife.
"Yeah of course" Brittany smiles.
Carly and I then head upstairs and go into one of the guest bedrooms. We both take a seat on the bed.
"So, what's going on?" I ask curiously.
"Matt and I broke up" she sighs.
"I'll fucking kill him; I knew that asshole would break your heart" I say angrily.
"No, I was the one that broke up with him, not the other way around" Carly states. "You were right all along Santana; he wasn't into moving forward with me. I don't want to be with someone who wants to just keep dating or whatever. We were together for so long that I was expecting marriage and maybe kids in the next year" she explains.
"I hate to say it but I just knew something wasn't right when he made that comment a few Christmases ago. I mean I know relationships move at different paces but you two were together longer than Brittany and I but yet he still felt like moving forward with you was too big a step. I'm married with 2 kids now and Matt who was with you for longer still didn't see that in his future" I say with a sigh.
"I think I knew myself deep down something wasn't there between us because I noticed the little things too like not coming to family events and just being distant. I pretended it was ok because I did really love him and I didn't want to be alone" Carly sighs.
"I can understand that" I nod.
"I think ultimately, I've been pushing him away not realising it. I've been too full on with things and wanting a future that it got to the point where he had to be distant and take a step back because I was making him uncomfortable" Carly tells me.
"I could honestly kill him" I state.
"I know you're mad but if he wasn't seeing the same future as me then that's fair enough" Carly says.
"No, I get that. I know marriage and kids aren't for everyone but what really annoys me is that he left it this long to tell you. He decided that stringing you along and hurting you was better than being upfront about things" I reply.
After talking with my sister for a while, we went back downstairs and joined everyone else. We all hung out together spending time with my sons which was really nice. Apart from birthdays and holidays, I don't get to spend that much time with my parents and siblings so it was nice today to do that. It was also really nice to do something fun without being pregnant because the last 9 months haven't been exactly fun.
"We should go now and let you all have some time together" my mom says as she, my dad and siblings get ready to leave.
"Ok" I smile. "We'll catch up soon though" I add.
"We definitely will because I can't get enough of my grandsons" my mom smiles. "Anyway, we'll leave you to it now" she says before the 4 of them head to the door.
"Bye guys" Brittany says and then my family leave.
"So, just you, me and the boys now" I smile.
"Yeah" Brittany smiles back. "Hey, what is going on with Carly, is she ok? It seemed like she was quite down about something and then she wanted to talk to you in private. I mean it's not really my business but I am just worried because she's been acting differently today" she says.
"She and Matt have broken up" I reply.
"Oh, shit" Brittany says shocked.
"I think it was for the best though" I admit.
"Come here" Brittany says as she pulls me closer and wraps her arms around me. "Are you ok?" she asks.
"Me?" I ask with a chuckle. "I'm not the one who broke up with their partner."
"I know honey but I meant like are you ok because I know how much your sister means to you. You love and care about her so much so I can only imagine you feel sad for her seeing her upset" Brittany explains.
"I mean I don't feel good about it because she is obviously upset because she really did love him but like I say, it was for the best" I state.
XXX
"It's been great spending time with your family today and the boys but I am kinda glad you and me are getting a minute right now on our own" Brittany says as she wraps her arms around me as we get into bed.
"Me too" I smile.
I know I say it all the time but I just love how much attention Brittany gives me. I don't like to admit it but I can be needy sometimes and demand attention so I find it really sweet that Brittany just does this without me having to ask. She is just as exhausted as me right now after spending the full day with a new-born and a toddler but yet she is making time for me instead of going straight to sleep like we probably should do.
"I am also so glad we finally have our little baby home with us and all 4 of us can be a little family" she tells me.
"Yeah, I am happy about that but to be honest what I'm most grateful for is just not being pregnant anymore" I laugh.
"Yeah, I can tell you are happy not to be pregnant anymore" Brittany laughs too.
"Honestly, I was just done with being pregnant this last month of so" I admit.
"Well, like you say at least you're not pregnant now" Brittany smiles.
"Yeah" I agree.
"So…I guess we should go to sleep now" Brittany says as she kisses my cheek.
"Do we have to?" I groan playfully.
"Well, the boys are both asleep so we should make the most of that and be asleep too before they wake up again and need us" Brittany replies.
"I kinda liked just lying here in your arms talking to you. I know we can do it anytime and it's not that big a thing to be in bed with your wife but it's nice. I've been pregnant for the last 9 months so I never felt fully comfortable during that time but now I'm back to me somewhat then I want to enjoy it" I explain.
"Ok, we can keep talking and just enjoying this alone time" Brittany smiles.
"Good" I smile back. "Hey, are you happy at the moment?" I ask seriously as I lift my head up to look at my wife.
"Yes, of course I am" Brittany smiles.
"No like seriously, on a deep level. Are you happy in life at the moment?" I ask.
"Yeah, I am. I'm happy I am building a good career and everything but that doesn't come close to how I feel about my wife and children. They make me so happy, it's unreal" she smiles again.
"I know I can be a lot to deal with and you do seem happy but I wanted to actually check because I don't want you just thinking you're happy because we have a good set up. I want you to be actually happy in life and not just going through the motions because marriage and kids were what you always wanted" I say.
"I promise you, I am really happy with my life" she assures me. "Honey, where is all of this coming from because I thought you knew how I felt about stuff?" she asks confused.
"Obviously my sister and Matt were in completely different places from one another but didn't know and that whole thing has got me thinking about how you and I don't always talk about certain things. I feel like maybe I take advantage of you sometimes and you know I don't do well with feelings so I never ask you this stuff. I assume you're good because you don't tell me otherwise but at the same time, I don't actually ask how you feel about things. I never give you the chance to express how you feel so technically for all I know, you don't feel happy just as much as you do feel happy, if that makes sense" I state.
"I think I understand what you're saying" Brittany nods.
"I just mean do you not tell me how you feel because you are ok or because you don't feel like you can because you know I don't talk about feelings" I reply.
"It's both babe, I am happy so I don't need to tell you I'm not but at the same time, I don't want to make you uncomfortable anyway. At the same time though, you know I don't lie so if I wasn't happy then I would say something so you are ok to assume I am happy because I am" she smiles.
"Ok" I nod.
"Are you happy at the moment?" Brittany asks me.
"Yeah" I nod as a tear escapes from my eye and runs down my cheek.
"Oh my god, are you crying?" Brittany asks panicked.
"Yeah" I shrug.
"Why? What's wrong? Deep down, are you not happy, is that what it is?" she asks worried.
"No, I am crying because I am happy. I honestly don't think my life could be any better than this so it's making me emotional. I'm trying to pretend it's all down to my hormones at the moment with me breastfeeding and everything but it's not, I am genuinely just so happy right now so it's making me cry" I admit.
"Well trust me, I am really happy too" Brittany smiles as she gently wipes the tears from my face with her thumb.
"Ok" I smile.
"Come here" she whispers so I move in closer to her so she can kiss me.
"I love you so fucking much" I say.
"I love you too" she replies. "I also kinda love it when you swear, it's super sexy" she says with a smirk.
"Easy girl, I love you but sex isn't on the cards right now" I laugh. "I've just pushed a baby out of there so that's more than enough action down there for the moment."
"Ok" Brittany laughs.

*Sunday 30th July 2023*
Brittany's family are coming over today to spend some time with us all. Her parents will be here along with her 2 sisters, their husbands and their kids. Since I had my family over yesterday then Brittany's family didn't want to overload us so they're waiting until today to spend some more time with us and the boys. I'm looking forward to it actually because we've spent a lot of time with my family recently that it'll be nice for Brittany to spend some time with hers.
"Hey, it's us" Brittany's mom announces as the front door opens.
"We're in the living room" Brittany replies and before we know it, the whole family have entered the living room.
"How are you all?" Brittany's dad asks as Jaxon makes a beeline for him.
"We're all good" I smile. "Especially Jaxon I think" I laugh as he giggles excitedly as David picks him up.
"Was it weird having two kids to look after last night compared to just the one that you're used too?" Haley asks curiously.
"It wasn't so much that aspect it's more the fact we had a baby in the room with us again last night because obviously Jaxon has been sleeping in the nursery on his own for some time so it's been a while having someone else in the room. Also, I did feel slightly bad that the three of us were in the one room and Jaxon wasn't" I admit.
"I suppose that would be different for you" Haley nods.
"Yeah, so I think tonight Brittany has decided to bring Jaxon's bed into our room so we're all together because it just doesn't feel right leaving him on his own" I say.
"Exactly" Brittany nods. "Anyway, who wants to hold my handsome son now?" she asks as she carefully picks Xavier up.
"Me please" Grace replies and then Brittany places Xavier gently in her arms.
"He's so cute, isn't he?" Brittany says.
"Yeah, he is cute" Grace tells us.
"Just like his big brother" I state.
"Yeah, Jaxon is super cute too" Brittany agrees.
"So, do you like being a big brother Jaxon?" Brittany's mom asks her grandson as she sits down with him and David.
"Yeah" Jaxon replies excitedly.
"He's been a very helpful big brother too because he helped me with the diaper changing this morning, didn't you?" Brittany smiles at Jaxon.
"Yeah" Jaxon nods his head as he jumps off the couch and runs to Brittany, hugging her tightly. Honestly, Brittany and Jaxon together are the cutest sight ever.
"Have you only been on diaper duty or have you two had a shot at feeding the baby yet?" Brittany's dad asks her and Jaxon.
"That would be a little tricky dad considering Santana would need to lend us her breast" Brittany laughs.
"Brittany!" I scold. We are all a close family but some things can be said in a better manner.
"What?" Brittany shrugs.
"Everyone is aware I am breastfeeding but what I think your dad was asking is if you've had the opportunity yet to feed the baby with a bottle after I have expressed some milk" I state.
"That's exactly what he meant" Alison replies, giving Brittany a glare for embarrassing her dad.
"Oh right, well not yet" Brittany replies.
"This showing off that Brittany does is a slight downside to her being so happy" Grace points out.
"I know it's true that I joke around and embarrass people when I'm happy and in a good mood but I literally don't care" Brittany smiles.
"Anyway, instead of embarrassing people perhaps you could offer your guests a drink?" Haley teases her sister.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Does anyway want a drink or something?" Brittany asks everyone.
"Yes please, coffee will do" Brittany's mom replies.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
"I'll make the coffee since you have Jaxon" I tell my wife.
"I'll give you a hand Santana because it's Haley's turn anyway to hold Xavier" Grace replies as she gently places Xavier in Haley's arms.
"Ok" I smile before heading to the kitchen followed by Grace.
"So, how are you doing after the birth?" Grace asks me as we begin making some coffee for everyone.
"I'm doing ok, the doctor said it was a pretty straight forward one so there weren't any complications or anything" I smile.
"That's good" Grace smiles back.
"Speaking of kids, I know you have Zoe but don't you want another one?" I ask teasingly.
"Do you know, we have been thinking about it actually and even though there isn't a right time, I think now would be an ok time to get pregnant" she replies.
"That's great, I'm happy for you both" I smile.
"Uh…what is taking you two so long?" Brittany asks confused as she walks into the room.
"We're having a secret affair behind your back, didn't you know" Grace smirks.
"Yeah, we've been hiding in here, making out with each other" I tease as I put my arm around Grace.
"You two are not in the same league so I find it hard that you'd be interested in each other" Brittany teases.
"I know but the heart wants what it wants even if it means delving into a lower league like the one you're in" I shrug teasingly.
"Actually…I meant Grace is in a much superior league to you so she wouldn't be interested in someone like you" Brittany smirks at me.
"Thanks honey" Grace smiles at Brittany.
"Are you saying your wife isn't that hot?" I question jokingly.
"Yeah, pretty much" Brittany laughs.
"Do you want to sleep on the couch tonight?" I tease my wife.
"No, not really. Why do you?" she asks me.
"No, of course not" I shake my head.
"Then why did you suggest we slept on the couch tonight and not in the bed?" Brittany asks in mock confusion.
"I didn't mean 'we' I meant you because that is what will happen if you mention something about me again like not being hot" I state.
"Yeah, I know what you meant" Brittany laughs. "And you are pretty hot too so it was only a joke" she adds.
"Good" I nod.
"Come here" Brittany says before picking me up and spinning me around.
"Honey, what are you doing?" I laugh.
"Spinning you around" she smiles.
"You two are so cute together" Grace smiles at us.
"As arrogant as it sounds, yeah we are" Brittany laughs.
"I agree" I laugh.
That's it for the chapter, let me know what you think.
