Chapter 42

Disclaimer: I don't own glee or this story


8pm

Santana was relaxing on the couch watching TV when Taylor came downstairs and climbed on the couch in front of her, turning to face her and hugging her tightly. Santana was taken off guard but still hugged her tightly, kissing the top of her head. "Hey Tay, what's wrong, honey?"

"Nothing, I just wanted a hug, and to say thank you for helping me with my science homework." Taylor replied, wiggling closer to Santana, leaving absolutely no space between them.

Santana rubbed her back and nodded. "You're welcome, sweetheart. Did you finish your other homework?"

"Yeah, momma said she'll check my social studies when she gets home, so I left it on my desk for her. She won't forget, will she?" Taylor asked, glancing over at Skylar, who was on the end of the couch, hugging her Snoopy stuffed animal, fast asleep.

"She won't forget." Santana assured her. "She's on her way home from Chicago right now, once she lands, she'll head home and check it for you.

Momma has never forgotten to check your homework for you. She'll let you know how you did over breakfast in the morning."

"Okay." Taylor yawned.

"Any pain in your face or back?" Santana asked as Taylor began to play with the strings on Santana's hooded sweatshirt.

"Nope." Taylor quickly shook her head.

Santana playfully smelled her and scrunched up her nose. "Did you shower yet?" She then asked, beginning to tickle her daughter.

"Yeah, Mami, I did." Taylor laughed while squirming. "I did."

"No wonder you smell so good." Santana winked at her. "Love you kiddo."

"I love you too." Taylor blushed.

"Okay, a little TV then bedtime."


Midnight

Brittany quietly opened the front door, closing it softly and locking it after she stepped in and set her briefcase and messenger bag on the floor. She yawned which turned into a smile as she walked deeper in the house and saw Skylar, standing up against the back of the couch wide awake and staring at the TV, holding a Graham cracker tightly. Santana was fast asleep, Taylor in her arms on the couch in front of the baby. Skylar, who had her other hand tangled in her mother's hair, holding a handful, locked eyes with Brittany and squealed happily.

"Momma!" She almost yelled, Brittany smiling and shaking her head, putting her finger to her mouth so Skylar wouldn't scream.

"Hey you." Brittany whispered, walking over and picking her up. "What are you doing awake?" She asked her, kissing all over her face.

"Mami." Skylar pointed to the Latina, who was snoring softly.

"Mami fell asleep, huh?" She smiled, rubbing Skylar on the back when her daughter rested her head in the crook of her neck. She glanced at the TV and smiled. "Are you watching an infomercial?"

"Mine?" She pointed to the TV, pulling on Brittany's hair.

"That's a mop, Sky, you don't need a mop." She shook her head with a smile, kissing her daughter on the nose, Skylar blushing but pointing to the TV again. "Okay, momma will get you the mop." She replied softly, turning the TV off and setting Skylar's snack, that was smashed in the couch now, on the table. "I'll clean this up before bed." She whispered to herself.

Skylar stared at Brittany before laying back on her shoulder and exhaling softly, beginning to drift to sleep as her mother soothingly rubbed her back.

"Santana." Brittany then whispered, leaning down to kiss her on the temple to wake her up.

Santana stirred and slowly opened her eyes, focusing on Brittany and smiled. "Hey baby, glad you're home." She rasped. "Let me get Taylor up to bed, do you have Sky?"

Brittany nodded and watched as Santana lifted Taylor, carrying her up to bed, kissing her goodnight after Santana tucked her in. She spotted Taylor's homework on the desk and quickly picked it up, thumbing through it to make sure it was all complete before turning off the light and leaving the room with it in her hand.

She spent a little time with Skylar, reading her a story to settle her back down for the night. Once she was peacefully asleep she laid her in her crib and kissed her goodnight before quietly leaving the room, where Santana was waiting in the hall. "Hey baby, sorry I'm so late, there was a storm in Chicago and we got delayed."

"It's okay." Santana told her. "You're home now and that's all that matters." She replied, wrapping her arms around her waist and hugging her tightly.

"Are you hungry? I can warm up some dinner for you, or make you a sandwich?"

"No, I grabbed some McDonald's on the way from the airport. You don't look too good now." Briittany told her, running her finger down the side of Santana's face.

"I don't feel the greatest, honestly." Santana replied, leaning more on Brittany.

"What's wrong, baby?" Brittany asked, leaning back to get a better look at her wife, quickly cupping her face.

Santana shrugged. "I have a headache, no big deal."

Brittany pressed their lips together and nodded. "Okay, I'm going to shower and check Tay's homework, then I'll be in bed with you. Did you take something?"

"Mind if I shower with you?" Santana asked.

"I would love the company." Brittany laughed, grabbing her hand and leading her to the bedroom.

"No I didn't take anything, you know I don't like taking medicine when I have the girls alone." Santana replied. "I think I'll be able to sleep it off."

Brittany glanced at her and nodded, knowing her wife was the stereotypical Doctor that hated taking medicine. After the two took a shower they laid in bed, Santana, who realized that her head hurt more than she thought, laid flush on Brittany right away, hiding her face in her wife's neck to block out all sources of light. Brittany immediately began to gently massage her temple for her as she drifted to sleep, she then grabbed Taylor's homework and quickly checked over it, dimming the lights so they wouldn't irritate Santana or keep her awake.


8am

"I'm taking the day off, Santana." Brittany smiled, holding Skylar's hand as the two walked back in the house after seeing Taylor off to school on the school bus. Skylar looked up at her mother and smiled brightly, before blushing and holding her leg tightly. "I missed you so much yesterday, too."

She told the baby, knowing Skylar missed her when she was gone for a full day, she lifted her in her arms and hugged her tightly, kissing her on the cheek and running her fingers through her wild bed hair, She batted her on the butt When Skylar began to laugh and kissed all over face.

Santana looked up from where she was pouring out crayons and paper for Skylar, getting ready to work on numbers, letters, and shapes with the baby and smiled. "Seriously?'

Brittany nodded, a small smile creeping up her face. "I worked enough for the week, so I'm taking the rest of the week off."

"I want to do a happy dance so bad right now." Santana laughed. "Come on Sky Sky, let's color baby."

Skylar wiggled to get down and ran over to the set up Santana had for her and picked up a crayon right away, she let Santana position the crayon in her hand and help her start to trace the large stencils she laid out. "Mami!" Skylar screeched when she finished her circle, which was a slight improvement from the previous days, even though it was far from a perfect circle.

"Good job!" Santana praised her, both her and Brittany clapping. "Do another one."

"After you're done with her lesson I wanted to take Sky and spend a little one on one time with her since I was gone all yesterday, and I'm going to do the same with Tay tonight after school. Did you have plans with Sky today?"

Brittany asked, sitting on the couch. "I don't want to mess up your schedule or anything."

"Nope, I was just going to meet Daphne for coffee, but I can cancel so we can hang out." Santana waved it off. "Not a big deal."

Brittany raised an eyebrow at her wife, before glancing at Skylar, who was babbling to herself while she traced an octagon. "You two are spending a lot of time together. Didn't you have lunch together yesterday?"

"Yeah, if it bothers you, I'll stop. It's just refreshing and good to talk to someone about medical stuff." Santana replied. "She's a doctor babe, she downplays her profession and title in front of Yesi to make her look good. She's travels to hospitals around the area and works with kids who suffer trauma in accidents and helps them with their speech, not just for stutters like she said."

Brittany nodded. "Wow, I don't have a problem with it, honey, I'm glad you made a friend. Now I'm off the hook with your doctor talk." She added teasingly, Santana laughed at her softly.

"Why don't you come with me?" Santana asked. "Our Doctor talk can't be that's boring since Sky smiles at her the whole time."

"No, I want you to have that outlet, baby, you need it." Brittany shook her head. "Sky and I will go to the park and play for a little bit, then I'll take you both for lunch, how does that sound?"

"Sounds like I love my wife." Santana winked. "Thanks for being so cool about this, B."

"I trust you." Brittany replied. "Nothing to be cool about." She shrugged, leaning over and pressing their lips together before deepening it slowly when she realized Skylar wasn't paying attention to them, and ending it with a wet pop. "Save the rest for date night in a few days."

Skylar jumped up and ran over to Brittany, slipping from her footed pajamas and held up a marker to her. "Momma."

"You want me to draw with you?" Brittany asked with a smile, Skylar nodding quickly and grabbing Brittany's hand.

"Excuse me Dr. Lopez." Brittany winked as she let Skylar lead her overdraw with her.


Friday night, 6pm

"Stop Sky." Taylor groaned, moving her arm to keep her sister from grabbing the controller she was holding. "I'm trying to play, you can play next."

Skylar shook her head and reached for the controller again. "Tay!" She snapped angrily, standing up on the couch and stepping on her sister's stomach to reach it while hitting her on the face and pulling her hair.

"Stop!" Taylor yelled loudly and by instinct quickly jumping from the slight pain, which sent her arm flailing and knocked Skylar off the couch, sending her to the floor with a thud.

Skylar immediately screamed as Taylor jumped off the couch to grab her and make sure she was okay as Santana came running in the living room from Skylar's screams. Skylar pointed at her big sister and shook her head quickly, trying to move away from her. "What happened?" She asked, rushing to the baby, whose face was red from screaming, and picked her up.

Brittany came rushing down the stairs, her hair still half in rollers and half down, looking around frantically.

"I knocked her off the couch by accident, she hit me in the face and stepped on my stomach." Taylor rambled quickly as Santana checked around Skylar's neck and sure she was okay as Brittany sat next to Taylor on the couch and grabbed the controller. "I didn't mean to push her that hard."

"She's two years old! You pushed your sister? Come on, Tay." Santana sighed tiredly. "Seriously, honey."

"I didn't mean to." Taylor said quickly, tears threatening to fall.

"That's enough of the game tonight." Brittany told her softly, turning off the Xbox. Taylor's eyes immediately began to water as she shook her head. "I didn't get my full hour, that's not fair."

"Calm down Skylar, you're okay." Santana told her, wiping her tears, the baby continuing to scream into her mother's chest. "Maybe we should just stay home tonight." She added, gently checking the baby's neck and head before sticking her fingers in her mouth to make sure she wasn't choking on anything and rockling her side to side. "Calm down." She repeated in Spanish to her.

"No, we're going on our date night, Taylor you can have the rest of your hour tonight when the sitter gets here or you can two separate hours tomorrow." Brittany told her, wiping her tears.

Taylor nodded and walked over to her little sister. "Sorry Sky." She whispered before running upstairs to her bedroom.

Brittany sighed and ran after Taylor while Santana turned Skylar around to face her and narrowed her eyes at the baby. "Why did you hit Taylor?"

Santana asked. "What did your Bua say about hitting?"

"No hit." Skylar sniffled.

"Right, no hitting." Santana sighed. "You hit your Tay, she's your best friend.

That's not very nice at all" She frowned as Skylar covered her face and began to mumble no hit. "Let's go get our Jammie's on before the sitter gets here." She picked her up and carried the baby to her room, she peeped in Taylor's room and saw her laying in bed, Brittany sitting next to her and rubbing her back while the two talked quietly, she winked at Brittany when they locked eyes and went to get Skylar changed.

"I love our babies, but this is exactly what I needed." Santana smiled, lifting her glass of whiskey and taking a sip.

Brittany laughed and nodded. "I understand what you mean." She ate a forkful of the ceviche they were sharing and held the fork out to her wife to feed her some. "I know we are just Santana and Brittany right now, not mami and momma, but I do want to talk a little about the girls briefly."

Santana sighed and nodded. "Okay."

"We really need to talk to Taylor about her behavior, all this hitting and pushing what she's been doing lately, I don't like it." Brittany said sternly.

"She didn't hit Sky on purpose and would never purposely push her off the couch, you could see it in her eyes, she was scared and it was an accident."

Santana replied. "She's going through a lot right now, and needs to just get settled back down, you know how high strung she can be."

"I want to switch schools for her, I've been looking into some new schools for her." Brittany stated causing Santana's eyes to widen before she quirked her eyebrow.

"Why?" She asked, nodding a thank you to the waitress as she set down her filet mignon with mashed cauliflower, grilled asparagus with blue cheese crumbles, and brandy glazed carrots. She picked up her utensils to eat but set them down immediately. "Taylor doesn't need to switch schools, she's fine, it was one incident, we talked to the school right away, we have a meeting with the parents next week, it's being handled."

Brittany nodded at the waitress and waited for her to walk away after setting her food down and stared at her wife. "She isn't safe there."

"Yes she is." Santana replied. "Come on, Brittany, you know with all these changes the last thing Tay needs is to be moved to a damn different school and pulled out of another environment."

"So you're blaming me for this?" Brittany asked angrily.

Santana coughed as she choked on her drink. "What the fuck? When did I blame you for anything?" She asked, setting her glass down and sliding closer to Brittany in the half circle booth they were in. "I know you are worried about Tay, we'll talk to her about the pushing and hitting, I think she's just reacting right now, she's nervous and everything is happening so fast around her, we'll talk to her tomorrow about it, okay?"

Brittany nodded. "Okay."

"Switching schools just wouldn't be good for her, and I know you know that. Put mama bear back up for a little bit, her cub will be fine." She teased.

Brittany laughed. "Fine."

Santana winked and kissed her on the cheek before sliding back to her seat and picking up her knife and work. "This looks amazing."


Taylor was working on a Sudoku puzzle, her tongue between her teeth while Charley, the babysitter, sat next to her and worked on the same puzzle.

Charley was 16 years old and the daughter of one of Brittany's coworkers, she came over earlier that week to meet the girls and have dinner with the family so Skylar could get used to her. Skylar immediately liked her and gave her a puzzle piece after dinner so Santana knew they wouldn't have any problems with her at all. When she first arrived Skylar was still upset with Taylor, so she was playing by herself, glaring at her sister while holding Snoopy.

Charley could tell Taylor was upset so she offered to teach her the game, which Taylor happily accepted, the two worked through a few puzzles together before Taylor asked if she could try one on her own while Charley warmed up the dinner that Santana cooked for them earlier that day. After dinner they all went back to the living room, Skylar still staring at Taylor, before finally standing up and walking slowly to her sister and climbing in her lap, hugging her tightly.

"My Tay." Skylar whispered, looking up at her sister.

"It's okay." Taylor told her, kissing her on the forehead, since she knew that was Skylar's way of apologizing to her earlier. "I'm sorry too."

Skylar smiled and jumped down, running over and grabbing Snoopy before climbing back in her lap, holding her tightly, smashing Snoopy between the two of them. She babbled something aggressively to the toy before smiling at Charley, who laughed softly at her.

"You be nice to Snoopy." Charley laughed as Skylar poked the toy in the eye and smirked. "How about we watch a video with your sister, then when she goes to bed we can play some Mario kart."

Taylor shook her head. "I lost my video game privileges tonight."

"Dr. Lopez-Pierce said you get an hour tonight and you can stay up a little later." Charley told her, grabbing a piece of paper from the side of the couch. "She left a note to show you, she said you wouldn't believe me." She added with a smile.

Taylor frowned but grabbed the note and began to blush. "Cool, I have new steering wheels that we can use that come with pedals and everything so it's like we're really driving."

"Sounds fun." Charley nodded. "Sky, do you want to get a video to watch?"

Skylar stared at her while the question processed before jumping off Taylor's lap and running to her video section and staring at them, trying to find the cover she liked the most. "Tay, more!"

"Okay, I'll help you." Taylor told he,r, getting off the couch to help her find a video.


9:30pm

Santana nodded her head to the music in the passenger seat, looking around out the window, taking in the bright lights of the downtown Phoenix area.

"It's so busy down here, not as busy as New York, but still exciting."

"Yeah it is, I'm glad we came out tonight, dinner was amazing and so was the live music they had." Brittany nodded, glancing at her wife. "We have Charley until midnight, mind if we make one more stop?"

Santana looked at the time. "Sure, we can stop for some drinks."

Brittany smiled and quickly made a right turn, she drove for another ten minutes before turning into a hotel parking lot. Santana looked around but shrugged, assuming they were going to a bar in the hotel. "They have a lounge here, B?" She asked as Brittany handed the keys to the valet and walked around to open her door.

"Something like that." Brittany smiled, linking their hands and leading Santana in the hotel.

Brittany silently walked them to the elevator and pressed for the 10th floor, when the elevator doors closed she pinned Santana to the wall and kissed her deeply, the Latina was taken off guard initially but relaxed into the kiss and pulled Brittany closer to her deepening the kiss. Once the elevator opened, Brittany pulled her wife down the hall, fumbling with the hotel key in her back pocket and opening the door.

"When did you do this?" Santana asked, as she looked around the hotel room, noticing the rose petals all over the room, and covering the bed. There was a bucket of champagne on the table and a spread of chocolates, meats, and cheese as well. Before she could answer Brittany was already naked and handing her a strap to put on. Santana smiled and quickly undressed, Brittany kissing down her body while she went before lifting the glass of champagne and taking a sip, licking her lips as Santana slid the harness up her legs.

"During my lunch today." Brittany told her, handing Santana the glass of champagne and watching her take a slow sip, her eyes on her wife's body.

Santana set the glass down and grabbed Brittany, she kissed her deeply, walking her back to the wall next to the balcony and pinned her to the wall.

She leaned flush on her so their breasts were crashing together, she laid her forehead on Brittany's and looked deep in her eyes as she lifted Brittany's right leg and wrapped it around her waist. She connected their lips and slowly deepened the kiss before beginning to kiss her hungrily, Brittany's hands running through her hair. She glided her finger down and ran it through Brittany's folds to make sure she was ready before lifting her slightly and sliding the piece up and into her. She held Brittany tightly around the waist before placing one hand on the wall and beginning to thrust into her quickly, kissing, licking, and biting Brittany's shoulder. The blonde in return held her tightly around the waist with one arm, the other holding her butt firmly, her heavy panting in Santana's ear.

"Fuck." Santana groaned, pounding Brittany into the wall, leaning more on her when her wife began to suck on her neck, finding her pulse point right away. "Fuck, fuck, fuck."

Brittany looked around at the wall and grabbed onto the coat hook by her head before she carefully lifted her other leg around Santana, who braced her thighs and made sure she was steady. "You okay?" Santana rasped, stopping her movements.

"Keep going, don't stop." Brittany replied while nodding, holding her around the neck and pressing their lips together again.

Santana smiled and leaned them back on the wall again, wanting to make sure Brittany's back was okay and began to thrust into her quickly, breaking the kiss and kissing down Brittany's neck, minutes later she felt Brittany tighten her thighs around her waist and knew her wife was close so she turned quickly and carried her to the couch, laying Brittany down and lifting one of her legs in the air before sliding back in her. She cupped her cheek as she slowed down her movements and wiped Brittany's tears away with her thumb before kissing her softly. Brittany's body began to jerk as she started to climax before she screamed in pleasure and held Santana tightly, hiding her face in her neck as her body shook and she rode out her orgasm.

Santana gently kissed her tears away before laying next to her and staring at her, Brittany turned to face her and kissed her deeply before laying on her chest and exhaling deeply to center herself.

"Thank you." Brittany smiled after a few moments. "Give me a moment to catch my breath and then it's your turn."

Santana laughed. "Okay, let me get us a glass of champagne." She got off the couch and stood up, sliding the harness down and walked over to get a glass for them to share, when she turned back around Brittany was standing behind, and slowly kneeled down, she lifted one of her wife's legs over her shoulder and licked her slowly at first, looking up in Santana's eyes. The Latina took a sip of the champagne before she grabbed a fistful of Brittany's hair and handed her the glass. Brittany knocked back the glass and held her tightly on the hips, plunging her tongue deeper into her, Santana screaming in pleasure while grabbing the table to steady herself.

"Best date night ever..." Santana moaned.
