Brittany smiled at Bella, who was patiently staring up at her, while the blonde broke up a sausage and mixed in some white rice with her breakfast. Bella wagging her tail happily, and barking loudly when she spotted her bowl on the counter, "it's coming." Brittany laughed as Santana walked in the kitchen and Bella jumped on her leg excitedly.

"Calm down B." Santana laughed when Bella began to jump around and whine. "Thanks for breakfast, baby, this looks amazing." She added, kissing Brittany on the cheek, and grabbing her plate of fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes, and an egg white vegetable omelet.

"You're welcome." Brittany replied, laughing at Bella, who was now whining to Santana, while glancing up at her bowl.

"She's going to give it to you." Santana assured her, using her foot to rub the puppy's back softly.

"Breakfast!" Brittany exclaimed, setting Bella's bowl down for her, and opening a bottle of water and pouring it in her bowl for her, laughing loudly when she scurried over to the bowl and crashed into it before starting to quickly eat, running back to Brittany and licking her leg, before barreling back towards the bowl.

"She loves you more than she does me." Santana laughed, pouring Brittany a cup of coffee.

Brittany shrugged. "You don't make her a special breakfast."

Santana rolled her eyes. "So, this afternoon is the big dress rehearsal before the performance tomorrow." She started. "I kind of have rituals that I do before big performances."

Brittany took a bite of her breakfast and nodded. "Whatever it is, I'm cool with it."

Santana took a long sip of her coffee and cleared her throat. "I just don't want you to think that I'm a diva or super high maintenance."

"I would never." Brittany nodded.

"Okay, so ummmm, after rehearsal I like to take a nice long hot bath and just relax, I do some meditation and clear my mind completely." Santana explained."I just don't want you to think that I'm stand offish or ignoring you tonight."

Brittany nodded. "Do you want me to stay at my place and give you space?"

"No, no, no." Santana shook her head quickly. "No, I want you here with me baby, I just don't want you to think I'm being weird if I'm quiet."

"Gotcha." Brittany winked.

"Are you nervous at all?" Santana asked, eating a forkful of her potatoes. "This is your first time performing for a crowd, right?"

Brittany shrugged. "A crowd this big in a while, yeah. I'm not nervous, just kind of anxious."

Santana smiled. "You'll do fine, baby."

"I'm really excited." Brittany blushed. "It's going to feel like glee club all over again. Remember when you sang Valerie for regionals? Or was it sectionals?"

Santana shrugged. "Who cares, all that mattered was that I kicked ass." She laughed. "I remember us staying up super late the night before so you could help me practice."

Brittany nodded. "I had your back then, and I'll have it tomorrow...not that you need it." She winked as Bella happily ran back over and jumped on Santana's leg.

"Nope, you shouldn't have eaten yours so fast." Santana shook her head. "Go play."


Brittany finished stretching and stood up, wearing a pair of black Nike leggings and a bright blue tanktop over a white sports bra, she had her hair in a high bun, with a pair of black Nike free sneakers on. She glanced at Santana, who was stretching to the side and cleared her throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go." She yelled out, clapping her hands loudly, startling Santana, who was taken off guard but jumped to her feet. "Gather around." She yelled. "This is the final rehearsal so let's make sure we are hitting all of our marks, and everything is clean and smooth."

40 minutes later Brittany nodded in approval while standing and clapping. "Hell yeah! Everyone give yourself a round of applause!"

"Thanks everyone, get some rest tonight, relax, don't do anything that will cause you to pull a muscle or break a limb." Santana added nervously.

Brittany laughed at her softly as she watched all the dancers and background singers gather their belongings and leave one by one, she spotted Santana sitting to the side, her sneakers now off and to the side of her while she texted on her phone. She raised an eyebrow when the lights in the rehearsal dimmed and soft music began to play.

"What are you doing?" She blushed as Brittany slowly danced her way towards her.

"Rehearsal isn't over." Brittany shrugged, extending her hands to her girlfriend. "I know you have your routine and ritual, but before you start that...I want to do one more thing for me."

Santana allowed Brittany to pull her up and lead her back to the stage. "I don't want to twist my ankle or anything, Brittany, I don't have shoes on." She whined.

"You won't." Brittany replied, leaning down and taking her sneakers off as well. "I just want you to relax, lose yourself in the music, immerse yourself in the music. Just let go." She added.

"Are we doing the routine?"

"No, just move." Brittany shook her head. "Close your eyes, and follow the music."

Santana exhaled deeply and nodded as she wrapped her arms around Brittany's neck and began to dance slowly. "I love you so much." She whispered after several minutes. "Thank you for this."


Santana was laying on the couch, reading one of her meditation books when Brittany walked in with Bella, having let the puppy out to use the bathroom in the backyard. Santana looked up from her book and rubbed Bella behind her ear, when she put her front paws on the couch. and began to lick her arm before jumping down and running towards a toy.

"Lay down with me, baby." Santana opened her arms.

Brittany walked over and laid down in front of her girlfriend. "You look so relaxed."

Santana nodded. "I am, dinner was so good, thanks for having Roz come cook." She smiled. "I might steal her from you and make her my personal chef."

Brittany laughed, "nope, she's mine. You would never anyways, because you love cooking and you would get hangry if she didn't cook something fast enough when you were hungry." She reminded her. "But, I will share her with you." She shrugged, "for a small fee."

Raising an eyebrow Santana smirked. "I have to pay to share your chef?"

"Yep."

"Hmmmmm, okay Pierce." She nodded sternly. "Deal."

"You didn't even ask what the fee was." Brittany laughed.

"Doesn't matter, I'm willing to pay it." She blushed in reply before pressing their lips together. "If we lived together we wouldn't have to worry about that."

Brittany opened her eyes quickly and stared deep into the Latina's big brown eyes. "Huh?"

Santana shrugged. "We are always together at one of our places, and while having a key to each other's place is cool...I want to always come home to you." She added.

"You want us to live together?" Brittany asked shyly.

Santana nodded. "Yeah, don't you?"

"Who's house?" Brittany asked, a smile growing on her face.

Santana perked up immediately. "Is that a yes?"

"It's a hell yes!" Brittany nodded before crashing their lips together, allowing Santana to take control of the kiss, soft moans escaping both of their mouths.

Santana blushed immediately and hugged Brittany tightly. "I don't want to get into a back and forth over where to live or anything like that tonight, just knowing that we are going move in together is enough for me." She mumbled against Brittany's lips. "Come take a bath with me." She winked, standing up and pulling Brittany with her.

After the two look a long hot bath they laid in bed flipping channels before settling for an old episode of Friends. Brittany was dosing off, Santana laying on her chest humming softly. "Brittany?"

"Yeah." Brittany cleared her throat and replied softly, her hand now rubbing circles on Santana's back before slipping under her shirt and resting on her lower back.

"Would you be okay if Bella and I moved in with you?" Santana asked softly.

Brittany cleared her throat while raising an eyebrow. "You serious?" She asked asked. "I thought you would want to stay here, babe, your house is bigger."

Santana shrugged as she sat up and straddled Brittany, wanting to look in her eyes. "Actually, I would want us to look for a house together eventually, but in the meantime we can move in with you, The size of the house doesn't matter to me, you know how much I love your house. I have too many memories here, memories I'm ready to let go off."

Brittany blushed, "of course you and Bella are more than welcome." She leaned forward and kissed Santana softly on the lips. "How about this, we start looking for a house now and in the meanwhile you can crash with me."

"Really?"

"Really." Brittany nodded.

"I love you so much, so fuckin much." Santana replied.

"I love you too, honey." Brittany replied as Santana hugged her tightly, kissing her deeply. Brittany wrapped her arms around her as the kiss intensified, Brittany breaking the kiss. "You know we can't tonight." She shook her head. "Rain check for after your performance tomorrow."

"Cuddle fest?" Santana raised an eyebrow.

"Yep."

Santana kissed Brittany again and slid back to lay on her chest. "Is your closet big enough for both of our clothes?"

Brittany shrugged. "I don't know."

"Okay." Santana whispered, clearing her throat before wiggling to get comfortable.

"Do you want me to turn off the tv?"

"You're okay." Santana replied.
