Chapter 69: Baby Pierce No. 3
Santana's POV
*Sunday 10th November 2024*
I've just woken up this morning and even though I'm 38 weeks pregnant and the pregnancy has been kicking my butt lately, I'm actually in good spirits this morning. Brittany and I had a fun night last night hanging out and spending some alone time together. We also got a really decent amount of sleep last night which is unusual for us normally since we're parenting two toddlers. I'm just lying in bed alone enjoying the peace and quiet when Brittany walks out of the bathroom.
"Morning" I smile at Brittany.
"Morning, babe" Brittany smiles back at me. "I am so sorry; did I wake you up? I mean you were fast asleep when I went to the bathroom?" she asks.
"You did wake me up" I nod.
"I am so sorry" Brittany apologises again.
"It's really ok" I smile.
"It is?" Brittany asks surprised as she joins me in bed again. "It's a morning where we're kid free so why is it ok?"
"Because exactly that, we're kid free. I don't want to spend my child free time asleep when I could be spending it with you and only you. We could be doing things we can't do in the presence of children" I smirk as I wrap my arms around my wife.
"What kind of things?" Brittany asks me curiously.
"Sexy kind of things" I whisper seductively in her ear.
"I like the sound of that" she tells me as she lifts her head to look at me.
"Good" I smirk before leaning forward to kiss my wife.
"How sexy are we talking?" Brittany asks seductively.
"You'll see" I wink as I move from my position, sitting up and throwing my leg over Brittany to straddle her hips.
"Are you sure you're comfortable like that, I mean like with the pregnancy?" Brittany asks concerned as she places her hands on my hips.
"I'll be fine as long as you are" I smile.
"Yeah, I'm great. Why wouldn't I be?" Brittany chuckles.
"With the added weight of me rested against you right now" I shrug. As I keep saying I am really really pregnant now so I'm not as light as I usually am.
"No, you're absolutely fine babe" Brittany smiles as she sits up.

Brittany and I are on our way home now. It's been a great weekend getting to spend some time together one on one but we're looking forward to getting back to reality. We've missed the kids so we're excited to get home and give them a big hug. I can't wait to hang out with them and see what they've been up to when we've been away. Also, I can't wait to get back to my own things. It's only been one night away but I missed my bed last night. The hotel room was nice and everything but it wasn't as comfortable as our bed at home.
"Ok, we're home" Brittany smiles at me as she pulls up outside our house.
"We are so let's go inside and see our children" I say before we get out of the car.
"Do you think the boys will have missed us?" Brittany asks as she takes my hand in hers as we walk towards the house.
"They better have, we're their parents" I laugh. "I'd like to think they love us as much as we love them" I add.
"Yeah, I'm sure they do" Brittany smiles at me.
"Hey, we're home" I say as Brittany and I walk through the door.
"Mommies!" Jaxon shouts excitedly as he runs towards us.
"Hi sweetie" Brittany says as she hugs Jaxon tightly before I take a turn and hug my son.
"Where's your little brother?" I ask Jaxon.
"There" Jaxon says as he points to the living room.
"Let's go and find him because I want to give him a big hug too" I say as the three of us head to the living room.
"Hey, you're back" Carly smiles at us.
"We are and we're looking for someone special" I say as we walk towards Xavier who is playing on the floor having not noticed us yet.
"Xavier, who's that?" Jessica asks as she points to us. Xavier quickly turns around and as soon as he notices Brittany and I, he bolts across the room to us.
"Hi buddy" Brittany says as she picks Xavier up.
"Are you happy to have us home?" I ask my youngest son as I kiss his head.
"Yeah" Xavier smiles at me.
"Hey boys, why don't you play with some of your toys for 5 minutes while we catch up with auntie Carly" Brittany says to the kids.
"Ok" Jaxon smiles before he and Xavier go back to playing on the floor.
"So, how were the kids?" I ask my sister as Brittany and I sit down on the couch together.
"They were great, as good as ever" Carly smiles.
"That's good" I smile back.
"How was your night?" Jessica asks us.
"It was really good. We had dinner, we went for a walk and we just spent time together" I say.
"Yeah, it wasn't anything too exhausting we did. We just got a chance to spend time alone together and hang out. It was nice getting some time one on one without worrying about other things like work or if the kids are ok" Brittany says.
"We're glad to be home though and be with the kids again" I say.
"I'm sure you are so on that note, Jess and I should get going and let you two have some time alone with your children" Carly smiles.
"Thanks for organising the hotel for us and for having the boys overnight" I tell my sister.
"It's no trouble. We love spending time with Jaxon and Xavier" Carly smiles.

*Monday 18th November 2024*
It's Brittany's last day at work today for a few weeks since she's taking some time off with me to help with the kids. Our 3rd child is due this week so Brittany is going into work today to wrap a few things up since we're not going to be there for a while. The kids are staying with me because we didn't see the sense in them going to daycare at the moment if Brittany and I are going to be around. Daycare works great when we're at work or we're busy but any opportunity we have to be around the kids we want to take because they're growing up so fast.
"I'm just about to leave now and head to work, babe" Brittany says as she walks into the bedroom where I am.
"Are you sure you don't need me to come to work today?" I ask Brittany.
"No, definitely not" Brittany shakes her head. "I just want you to relax and have a quiet day. I don't want you to be working and making yourself exhausted" she adds.
"Ok" I smile.
"The kids are still sleeping so I don't want to wake them to say goodbye, will you just kiss them for me?" Brittany asks.
"Of course I will" I smile.
"Ok, I'm going now. Call me if you need me at all" Brittany says as she kisses my cheek.
"I will" I assure her.
"I'll see you in a couple of hours" Brittany says before leaving.
I amuse myself for a little while, doing some laundry, before going to check on the kids. They were awake when I went to their rooms so I got them up and out of bed. We then went downstairs to the kitchen where I made the 3 of us breakfast. We're all finished eating now and I've cleared away the dishes so I'm hoping we can do something fun and spend time together.
"Ok, mommy has gone into work for a few hours so the 3 of us are going to spend some time together until she gets home" I tell the kids.
"Ok" Jaxon smiles at me.
"What do you feel like doing?" I ask my kids.
"Pool!" Jaxon says jumping up and down excitedly.
"Oh, I don't think we can do that right now sweetie. Mommy needs to be here for that because you and your little brother both can't swim yet so it's a bit hard for me on my own to help you both" I say.
"Later?" Jaxon asks.
"Yes, as soon as mommy gets home, we can all go in the pool together" I smile at my son.
"Ok" Jaxon smiles back at me.
"The 3 of us could play with the toy trains right now" I suggest.
"Trains!" Xavier says excitedly, clapping his hands together.
"Shall I set up the track and you two could race your trains around it?" I ask my kids.
"Yes please" Jaxon smiles at me.
"Ok, let's go to your playroom and we'll build the track" I say as the three of us leave the kitchen.
As soon as I have set up the train track, the boys start playing by racing each other around it. After doing that for a while they got bored as usual since they're kids and have short attention spans so we ended up playing with some different toys. I then made some lunch for them because Brittany texted that she was going to be a little longer so she didn't want the kids waiting around for her to be home in time to eat together. It was then nap time for the kids so they took a nap while I rested on the couch. Jaxon and Xavier woke up just in time for Brittany arriving home.
"So, how are my favourite people?" Brittany asks as she hugs the kids.
"They're doing great. We played with some toys which was fun, we had some lunch and they took a nap so it's been a busy day for them" I say smiling at the kids.
"That's good" Brittany smiles. "So, how are you?" she asks turning to look at me.
"A little tired but that's not unusual with the pregnancy" I shrug.
"I'm home now so you can take things easy again. Have a lie down or something" Brittany says as she reaches over and puts her arm around me.
"Uh…I don't know that I can" I state.
"What do you mean?" Brittany asks.
"I promised the boys that when you got home, we'd all go in the pool together" I say.
"Babe, it's November. It's not the warmest out there" Brittany points out.
"I know but it's what they wanted to do and I hated saying no to them. I already said no when I was on my own so they asked if we could play in the pool when you got home and I couldn't say no again" I state.
"Ok, fine" Brittany smiles.
"Boys, let's get you ready for the pool" I say to my children.
"Yeah!" Jaxon says running to the stairs excitedly.
"We'll get you changed into your swimwear and then we'll go straight outside" Brittany says as we all head upstairs to change.
Brittany gets herself changed first while I watch the kids and then I get changed while Brittany changes the kids into their swimwear. We all then head downstairs and outside into the garden making our way over to the pool.
"What are we going to do if you go into labor right here in this pool?" Brittany asks teasingly.
"I hear water births are very popular these days" I smirk.
"Not in a full-blown pool they're not. It's usually in a birthing pool which is a lot smaller with a lot less water" Brittany says.
"Yeah, I guess" I laugh. "Look, I am sure I'll be fine" I shrug.
"Ok" Brittany nods. "Now boys, let's get you into this pool" she says as she sits the towels down at the side.
"Do my breasts look really big right now?" I ask my wife as I take my robe off.
"Come on, boys. Let's get you into the water" Brittany says, not paying any attention to me.
"Britt, I'm talking to you" I say. "Do my boobs look really big today?" I ask again.
"Once we get into the water, we'll get you into your little inflatable boat and you can float around on it" Brittany says as she lifts the kids up into her arms, still not answering me.
"Brittany, are you listening to what I am saying?" I ask.
"Yes, I am listening but I'm not answering because I'm ignoring you" Brittany says, not looking at me.
"Why are you ignoring me?" I ask amused.
"You know why" Brittany shrugs. "You're deliberately trying to make me look at your breasts knowing that when I do, I'm not going to be able to take my eyes off them. You can't do these things to me in the presence of the kids."
"Do what things?" I shrug back, pretending not to know what I'm doing.
"Make me want you. I already find you incredibly irresistible and sexy as it is but to be dressed in nothing but a bikini and then make me stare at your breasts, that's just going to tip me over the edge. That is why I cannot pay attention to you right now" Brittany explains.
"Ok" I say smugly.

*Friday 22nd November 2024*
Brittany and I are at home alone right now since Carly has taken the kids out for the day with Jessica. Carly has been spending a lot of time with us and the kids recently since this week is my due date. In fact, today is my actual due date so we thought if Carly kept the kids occupied then, in the event that anything happened like I go into labor, Brittany and I can go straight to the hospital without worrying about childcare for the kids.
"Hey, what are you up to?" Brittany asks me as she walks into the kitchen.
"Eating again. I swear this baby is going to make me the size of this house with all of this food I am consuming" I joke.
"I guess it means the baby is healthy and will be a good birthweight" Brittany smiles.
"That's not so good actually because I need to push this baby out. I can't be pushing something so big out of me. It'll rip me in two" I state.
"Your body will naturally adapt to the birth babe. Most women are designed to have children so they're bodies adapt in whatever way they need too" Brittany shrugs.
"I suppose that's true" I say as I think about it.
"It is true so don't worry about it" Brittany smiles as she kisses my cheek.
"Come on Britt, let's go and have sex" I say as I take my wife's hand.
"Wait…what?" Brittany nervously laughs.
"Today is my due date and apparently sex can bring on labor so let's do it because I want this baby out of me now. It's had it's time growing inside me so now it's time for it to arrive" I tell her.
"I don't know if this is a good idea babe" Brittany says hesitantly.
"Why not? Are you not attracted to me enough right now to have sex?" I ask.
"Come on, don't be silly" Brittany says rolling her eyes.
"Then why not?" I shrug.
"It just feels weird, that's all. Can't we not just eat some spicy food or something. I've heard that helps?" Brittany suggests.
"No, sex seems like a better option so come on, please" I smile at my wife, pleading with her.
"Fine" Brittany says smiling back. "I can never say no to you sometimes" she chuckles.
"I know and I am grateful for that" I say as we make our way upstairs.
"Sometimes you can never say no to me too" Brittany says as we reach the bedroom and walk inside.
"That is true" I smile as we make our way over to the bed.
"So how are we doing this, what's comfortable for you?" Brittany asks as we sit down on the bed.
"We'll just start gentle and see how things go as we go along" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles before leaning into kiss me.
I immediately kiss back and we continue kissing for a few moments as our hands start exploring each other's bodies. Brittany has one hand on my side and her other hand gently cupping my cheek. My hands are slowly moving further and further up Brittany's back under her shirt as we kiss. Just as things are beginning to kick up a gear, I feel something inside.
"Oh god" I groan.
"What's wrong, did I hurt you?" Brittany asks concerned as she pulls away.
"No…uh, I think my water just broke" I say surprised.
"Wow, I'm good" Brittany says smugly.
"I don't think it was you babe" I say amused. We were only kissing so I don't think it was quite that.
"Well, however it happened doesn't matter anymore. We should really get you to the hospital" Brittany says as she leaps from the bed.
"Yeah, we should go" I say as get off the bed and walk towards the door. "Can you get my hospital bag from the closet?" I ask as I head out the room.
"Got it!" Brittany says as she grabs the bag and quickly follows me.
"What car are you driving?" I ask as I make my way downstairs as quickly as I can at 40 weeks pregnant.
"Yours" Brittany replies as she picks up my car keys and we rush out the door.
"Wait…wouldn't your car be easier because it's backed in already so you can just drive off. You're going to have to back my car out of the drive negotiating your car on the way" I state.
"No, we'll take yours" Brittany shrugs as we rush over to my car.
"Why do you want to take my car so badly and not yours?" I ask.
"Well, you know…mine is brand new and only a month old" Brittany says hesitantly.
"Yeah, and what about it?" I say confused as I try to ride out a contraction.
"You're in labor and stuff and my car is new" Brittany says.
"Me and this baby aren't an infectious disease or something. It's your fucking baby so if you're worried I give birth in the car then you've only got yourself to blame for getting me pregnant" I tell my wife.
"I know but your car is older so it's not as bad if it gets messy whereas my car as I say, is only a month old" Brittany says.
"We don't have time for this, let's just go" I say as I roll my eyes.
"Believe me I'm trying to get going but you stood still and asked about cars. I have got the keys right here in my hand so you're the one holding us back" Brittany shrugs.
"Whatever" I glare.
"Come on, let's go" Brittany says as she opens the car door for me and helps me inside. She then quickly runs to the other side and gets in before swiftly getting the car out of the driveway.
"Trust you to be more worried about your car than your own wife" I say as I look at Brittany in annoyance.
"It's not quite like that" Brittany says as she shakes her head.
"Uh…I think that it is" I state.
"Look, we're about to have another baby. Can you wait until after the baby is born and then get pissed at me. We really can't afford to not be on the same team right now" Brittany points out.
"Nah, I think I will still be pissed right now" I shrug as another contraction hits.
"You're so adorable" Brittany smiles at me.
"I'm not adorable, I'm serious. I am going to stay pissed at you" I tell her.
"I know but I'm just saying it's cute" Brittany shrugs.
"Look, just because I am going to remain pissed doesn't mean I don't need or want your support so you better help me" I state.
"I will support you through this babe, of course I will. I really do appreciate how much harder this is for you than me so I'm right here" Brittany assures me.
"Good" I nod.
"Ok, my phone is connected to the car so I'm going to call the hospital and let them know we're on our way. I want your doctor ready for you coming in" Brittany states.
"Ok."
Brittany calls ahead and shortly after that we reach the hospital parking lot. Brittany helps me out of the car before locking it as we rush over to the entrance. There's an abandoned wheelchair sitting at the side so we take advantage of that and I get in it before Brittany pushes me towards the correct department. As soon as we report to the reception area, a nurse takes us to a private room where we're shortly met by my doctor. The contractions are really coming thick and fast now so I hope she has good news.
"I'm just going to examine you Santana and see where we're at" my doctor says as she takes a seat at the bottom of the bed.
"I better be fully dilated or whatever you call it because I am in no mood for a long labor" I state seriously.
"The contractions are quite close together now" Brittany tells the doctor.
"It's good news ladies, you are ready to go to the delivery room" the doctor smiles at me.
"Thank god" I say in relief, knowing this will all be over soon.

"I know it hurts and you're tired but I need you to push for me Santana" the doctor says.
"Why is this happening to me, AGAIN!?" I groan in frustration.
"It's ok, you're going to get through it. Just squeeze my hand tightly if you need too" Brittany tells me.
"We're never having sex again if this is what it does to me, I promise you" I say annoyed.
"I don't think that's accurate. You won't manage to stay away from me forever. Our sex is awesome" Brittany smirks.
"Let's just concentrate on Santana right now" the doctor says, looking at Brittany as if to say, 'it's not the place to discuss this'.
"Right, sorry" Brittany nods.
"Come on, a nice big push Santana" the doctor says.
"I'm trying!" I groan as I push harder this time.
"That's it, keep going" the doctor says.
"You're nearly there honey" Brittany tells me encouragingly.
"That's great Santana, well done" the doctor smiles at me as we suddenly hear loud crying.
"Is it here?" I ask surprised.
"Yeah, there you go, a beautiful baby girl" the doctor smiles at us as Brittany cuts the umbilical cord.
"A girl?" I ask as Brittany takes the baby from the doctor.
"Yeah, it's a little girl" Brittany says as she gently places the baby in my arms.
"She's beautiful" I say smiling down at my daughter.
"She really is" Brittany agrees.
"I just need to take her for a second to get her cleaned up and do a couple of checks, don't worry though" the doctor smiles as she takes the baby from me.
"She'll be back with us in a second" Brittany assures me.
Brittany and I wait patiently for the doctor to check over the baby. As soon as she's finished, the doctor places the baby in my arms. My wife and I don't really say anything, we just continue looking at our beautiful new daughter. Honestly, she could not be any more perfect. She looks a lot like Jaxon and Xavier but also has her own unique little look which is so cute. She's like a mix of both Brittany and I whereas I feel like Jaxon is a mini-Brittany and Xavier is my double.
"She's perfect" Brittany says as she joins me on the bed and wraps her arm around me.
"She really is perfect" I smile.
"I can't wait for everyone to see her, especially Jaxon and Xavier. They're so excited to be big brothers" Brittany points out.
"I know" I nod.
"We'll have this little moment with her alone and then we'll get everyone in to see her" Brittany says.
"Ok" I smile. "So, what do we think about names for the baby?" I ask as I look down at our daughter peacefully lying in my arms.
"I really like some of the names we have picked out before like Olivia or Ameila" Brittany smiles.
"Yeah, those are cute names. I like both" I say. "Which do you prefer?" I ask.
"I'm leaning more towards Olivia I think" Brittany points out.
"That's settled then, Olivia it is" I smile.
"Amelia can be the next one" Brittany smirks at me.
"Yeah, we'll see about that" I laugh. "My body has been through a lot these last three years so it needs a break. If there's any baby to be had it won't be for a long long while. I mean it this time" I add.
"I know, I'm just teasing" Brittany smiles at me.

*Saturday 23rd November 2024*
It's been an interesting 24hrs to say the least. Yesterday morning I was still pregnant and by the afternoon, I had a baby in my arms. Brittany and I are now parents to three little people and I've got to admit, it's kinda scary. I'm guessing it's going to be even scarier when we get home and we're all together as a family of 5. Right now our parents and siblings are helping with Jaxon and Xavier since I slept in the hospital last night with the baby so we've never all been together yet.
Brittany went home late last night because she needed to get some things for the baby for today and also with the intention of making sure our sons were ok since we didn't get a lot of time with them yesterday. The boys were already settled with Brittany's parents so she ended up sleeping at home alone. My wife has already texted me this morning telling me she's on her way to the hospital so I'm hoping she'll be here soon.
"Hey, how are you?" Brittany says as she rushes into my room in a hurry.
"I'm not dead so calm down honey" I chuckle.
"Sorry, I just wanted to get here as soon as I could. I hated you being here alone last night. If I knew the boys were already settled with my parents and asleep, I wouldn't have gone home and would've have spent the night here with you" Brittany tells me.
"It's ok, don't worry about it. You were thinking about our kids which is the right thing to do" I smile.
"So, how did it go last night with the baby?" my wife asks.
"It was fine, she actually slept a lot more than I thought. I mean I was awake at times to feed her but it wasn't as often as I anticipated" I say.
"That's good" Brittany nods. "So, is she feeding ok then?" she asks.
"Yeah, no problems so far" I shrug.
"Good" Brittany smiles as she takes the baby from the crib and holds her in her arms.
"Morning, how are you doing Santana?" the doctor asks as she walks into the room.
"I'm doing good, I'm about 7lbs lighter today than yesterday morning" I chuckle.
"Yeah, 7lbs of pure cuteness" Brittany says smiling down at the baby in her arms.
"I'm just here to check on both you and the baby" the doctor tells me.
"That's fine" I nod. The doctor then checks me and the baby over.
"Ok" the doctor smiles at me.
"Is everything ok with us both?" I ask curiously.
"Yeah, you are both good. I don't have any issues" the doctor smiles.
"That's good" Brittany smiles at me.
"Ok Santana, you've done this twice before already so I see no reason to keep you here any longer. You and the baby are both healthy so I am discharging you both. You can go home and begin your life as a family of five" the doctor smiles at me.
"Awesome" Brittany says excitedly.
"I'm not sure how excited you'll be later when the baby is screaming and you're running behind two toddlers all day" I laugh.
As soon as we get everything sorted out at the hospital, Brittany and I head home with Olivia. We're met at home by some of our family including Jaxon and Xavier. Our family didn't really stay too long though because they wanted to give us a chance to settle in at home with our new baby so they left soon after seeing Olivia for a little while. Jaxon and Xavier are currently napping right now while Brittany and I have just finished changing Olivia's diaper.
"Olivia looks almost asleep right now so I'm going to put her down for a nap" Brittany tells me.
"Ok babe" I smile at Brittany.
"I won't be too long" Brittany says as she goes to leave the room just as her phone goes off. "Oh, can you check that for me?" she asks.
"Sure" I shrug.
Brittany leaves the room as I pick up her phone and see why it pinged. It takes me a second to get into her phone because she has changed the pin but as soon as I'm in, I open up the message she just got. It wasn't really anything important, it was just a text from a delivery company saying her parcel is expected in a few days' time. I don't know what delivery she is expecting but I am sure I'll know soon enough.
As I wait on Brittany returning from putting Olivia down for a nap, I take the opportunity of having her phone to see if she has any new photos on there of the kids or something. She actually has got a lot of pictures of Jaxon and Xavier which is cute but what is even cuter is the fact she has a lot of pictures of me on there. I especially like the fact that her screensaver is a photo of me.
"Ok, Olivia is finally asleep which means all 3 children are magically asleep at the one time so we have a short window right now for us to be alone before Olivia wakes and needs feeding" Brittany says as she walks towards me.
"Ok" I smile.
"What shall we do?" Brittany asks me as she sits down next to me.
"I don't know" I say as I continue smiling at my wife.
"Why do you keep smiling at me?" Brittany laughs nervously.
"You've changed the passcode on your phone and now it's my birthday. That's kinda cute" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles.
"All of the pictures you have on your phone are cute too" I add. "There's tons of me and the kids which is cute" I smile.
"Well, you're all my favourite people so I want to treasure the memories we have. I can't wait to take more pictures of Olivia now she's finally here" Brittany says.
"I know, me too" I agree.

*Sunday 24th November 2024*
Today we're doing something fun, we're having a sort of party if you like. Brittany decided to invite all of our family and close friends over to celebrate our new arrival. Everything was a little rushed in the end of my pregnancy since we started out with thinking it was a surrogacy so we never really got to fully appreciate us having a third child. Brittany thought today would be a fun way for everyone to firstly spend time with our new baby but to also celebrate the whole occasion of us welcoming a new baby into the family. I mean our parents didn't even think they were having another grandchild until later on in the pregnancy so it's going to be nice for them too.
"Hey's it's me and Jess" Carly says announcing her presence as she walks through the front door.
"Hey" I smile at my sister as I walk through the hall.
"We know we're early but we thought we'd come over a little earlier and see if you guys needed help with anything before everyone else arrives" Jessica says.
"No, we seem to be ok. Brittany has everything under control" I say.
"Where is your wife?" Carly asks.
"She's in the kitchen sorting out the food. The catering company just dropped all the food off so Brittany is laying it all out on the table" I say.
"Cool" Carly nods. "So, what about the children? Where are they?" she asks.
"Olivia is taking a short nap in the other room while the boys are in the kitchen with Brittany. They know she's got food in there so they're hanging around in the hope she'll give them a little something from the buffet" I say amused.
"That's cute" Jessica smiles.
"So, since you're here do you girls want a drink or something?" I ask.
"Yeah, but we'll get it. You've probably had a crazy couple of days so there's no need to run around after us and tire yourself out. We can sort ourselves a drink" my sister says.
"Ok" I smile and then the three of us go to the kitchen.
"Hey" Brittany smiles at Jessica and Carly.
"Hey" Carly smiles back. "We're here early to help out so do you need us to do anything?"
"You could actually help me take some chairs from here to the living room in case some people want to congregate there" Brittany says.
"I can do that" I shrug.
"Absolutely not" Brittany shakes her head at me.
"I'm not pregnant anymore so I can lift things now" I tell my wife.
"I know but your body is still recovering somewhat from the birth so your muscles might not be back to full strength. I want you to take things easy" Brittany says.
"Ok" I smile at my wife.
It doesn't take too much longer for the house to be ready for the party so me, Brittany, my sister, Jessica and the kids all hang out together for a while. Shortly after that our family and friends begin to arrive. Everyone is here now so we've got drinks, food, games and most importantly, everyone spending time with Olivia and getting to meet her properly. Everyone has sort of branched off into little groups mingling and having fun. I'm just on my way to the kitchen to find my wife.
"Hi" I say as I sneak up behind my wife and wrap my arms around her.
"Hey" Brittany smiles as she relaxes into my embrace.
"We have a quick moment alone while the kids are occupied by everyone else" I say as I rest my chin on Brittany's shoulder.
"That's cool" Brittany says as she places her hands on top of mine.
"So, what are you up to?" I ask.
"Nothing much, I was just getting a drink" Brittany shrugs.
"Cool" I smile.
"So, how are you?" Brittany asks me as she turns around in my arms so she's facing me.
"I'm ok. As good as I can be considering everything" I shrug.
"What do you mean?" Brittany asks confused.
"Well, I only gave birth two days ago so I'm not fully back to me yet. I'm exhausted and I look a mess right now. Also, I keep lactating all the time so yay me" I say sarcastically.
"I think you look great" Brittany smiles.
"You've got to say that though because you're my wife" I smile.
"I know but I am serious. I know pregnancy can change your body but it doesn't mean you're any less beautiful. You might look a little different from before but you're still beautiful" Brittany assures me.
"Thank you" I smile. "Ok, come here" I say as I pull my wife closer to me.
"What's up?" Brittany smirks at me.
"You know I wanted you closer so I could kiss you so, shush" I say before leaning in to kiss my wife.
We don't instantly pull away, instead we continue kissing for a moment. Our hands start moving around the other's body as our kissing intensifies.
"Ok, that's enough. Put my sister down" Carly laughs as she walks into the room. "You have two toddlers and a 2-day old baby, are you really ready for baby number 4 to be created right now?" she adds.
"Of course not and we were only kissing anyway" I shrug as we pull away.
"Although, with the way things are going with us, only kissing probably could lead to you getting pregnant" Brittany jokes. "I mean we seem very fertile since we've had three babies in three years" she laughs.
"That is very true" I laugh.
"Anyway, I probably should join the rest of our guests now" Brittany says.
"Yeah, I should too" I smile.
Brittany and I leave the kitchen to go and mingle with the rest of our guests. Brittany and I catch up with her sisters for a minute before I politely leave and walk towards Quinn. I noticed Quinn was alone so I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to her for a second and see how she's doing.
"Hey" I smile at my best friend.
"Hi" Quinn smiles back.
"How are you?" I ask.
"I'm good, how are you?" Quinn replies.
"I'm not too bad. I'm a little exhausted but so glad at the same time to have my daughter here. It's been nice today having you all over to see Olivia because I didn't get to see everyone when she was born because I was in hospital less than 24 hours" I say.
"We're all happy to be here and spend time with everyone" Quinn smiles.
"So, tell me really how you are?" I say.
"Really, I'm good" Quinn nods.
"Does anyone else know you're pregnant yet?" I whisper.
"Not yet, it's only been another couple of weeks. I want to wait until it's more certain" Quinn tells me.
"Ok, fair enough" I nod. "If you need anything at all then please come to me. I know I've got a lot on my plate right now but I'll always have time for my best friend" I smile.
"I know and thank you" Quinn smiles. "So, how does it feel to be a mother of three now?" she asks changing the subject.
"It's actually really good. Like I said I am a little exhausted at the moment but that's normal so the good things are definitely outweighing the bad. I love that I have Olivia here now and the boys really love being big brothers" I say smiling at the thought of my family.
"I'm really happy for you Santana" Quinn smiles.
"Thank you" I smile back.
"Hey guys" Brittany says as she walks towards Quinn and I.
"Hey" Quinn smiles.
"Hi" I say as I kiss my wife's cheek.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation but I need your breast Santana" Brittany states loudly.
"Brittany!" I say embarrassed.
"Ok, that's my cue to leave" Quinn laughs before walking away.
"I hope you're saying that because Olivia needs another feed and not for some other reason considering there's lots of people here" I say.
"Yes of course that's what I mean" Brittany laughs.
"Ok well next time whisper it in my ear and not make me embarrassed" I say.
"I am sure Quinn knows your breastfeeding so I wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your best friend" Brittany shrugs.
"It's not so much that, it's just you said it quite loudly so anyone could have heard not just Quinn" I say.
"Yeah, the volume of my voice was kinda deliberate actually" Brittany says amused.
"You know I don't mind you teasing me but I draw the line when it's about body parts so you're on diaper duty alone for all three kids for the next week" I smirk.
"Really, all 3 all week?" Brittany groans.
"Yeah" I nod.
"That sounds kinda messy" Brittany frowns.
"Well, that's what you get for shouting about my breast" I laugh.
"Is there no other way to make it up to you because diaper duty isn't my favourite task so to have to do it all week for all of the kids isn't appealing" Brittany points out.
"No, sorry" I shrug.
"Ok, fine. I will do it" Brittany smiles. "I guess it is only fair because you were pregnant for 9 months so you did have the rougher end of the deal" she adds.
"Exactly" I smile.
"Now, we should go upstairs so you can feed Olivia" Brittany says.
"Yeah, we should" I agree.
