Alexandra Maya Lopez-Berry was born at 8:42 pm. She was born with a head of dark hair, already full for a newborn, and from what they could see; she had Latina skin, with Rachel's eyes. Before she was taken away Santana caught sight of tiny ears poking out from under the full head of hair her daughter already possessed.
Eveline Rébecca Fabray was born at 9:18 pm. While she didn't have a lot of hair, from what was there, it was clear she's a blonde. When the doctors held her up for Brittany to see, she had her eyes open, showing off her icy blue eyes she no doubt got from the Dutch girl. Her skin was a little darker than Brittany's, but she didn't care. Quinn didn't miss the white ears poke out from the top of her when she was taken away.
It wasn't until a little later that the new mommies got to hold their babies for the first time. Rachel was first, holding her daughter in the proper position shown in the baby books, but it appeared Alexandra didn't like proper, and began to fuss until Rachel shifted her arms until she was closer to her body, with the arm holding her a little tighter.
"God she's so tiny…hi Alexandra it's your Mamá Santana." The Latina slipped a finger into the hand that was free from the blanket she was wrapped in, and almost immediately it closed around it, bringing a smile to her face.
"It's hard to believe she came from inside me." Santana could only nod as she ran her thumb over her daughter's tiny hand.
"It's nice you're naming her after your grandma."
"Mi abuelita taught me how to tame the wolf inside, even though she wasn't one herself." Rachel looked up at the usually harden face, but found it broken out in smiles, something she couldn't help but smile at herself.
"It's still very kind of you." The new mommy shrugged and shifted her gaze to her love.
"It's the least I can do. Thank you for allowing me to." A bright smile broke across the diva's face before Santana leaned forward to give her a sweet kiss that didn't fail to keep her wanting more.
"Thank you for having my baby." Was whispered across her lips, making Rachel break the kiss to look up into dark eyes.
"Santana…"
"I…Thank you. Not many would have done the same in your situation, and I'm just glad you decided to go through with it…so thank you." After making sure the baby was secured in her arm, Rachel moved a hand to cup a copper cheek.
"Santana I wouldn't have changed a thing…and I should be thanking you. I'm not sure what I would've done without you by my side."
"You wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place."
"Which I'm even more thankful to you for. After carrying around a baby for 6 months I….I didn't regret it anymore. If I wouldn't have gotten pregnant then we would still be throwing insults, and you would still be-" Whatever Rachel was going to say, Santana didn't hear as she leaned forward and caught plump lips in her own once again.
"I love you Rachel. I love you for giving birth to our child, I love you for being with me, I love you for giving me a chance, I love you for your ambition, I love you for knowing yourself and not caring what other people think, I love you for letting me name our baby after my grandma, I love you for accepting me for who I am, I love you and your beauty, I love you-" It was Rachel's turn to shut her up, although this time she caught the back of her neck, holding her against her for a few moments longer until oxygen was needed, then broke the kiss only to rest her forehead against the other brunette's.
"I love you to Santana." Little Alex fussed in Rachel's arms, and began moving her arms around, bringing the attention back down to her.
"And I love you to Alex." The Latina left a lingering kiss to the top of her dark head, the smell of new baby filling her senses.
Not too far down the hallway Brittany was handed Eveline, who was already fussing for food. Then as if she was a pro, Brittany shrugged one arm out of her hospital gown, exposing a breast for her to suck on, which she immediately got to work at.
"You're so beautiful Britt." Quinn whispered as her lips ghosted just above the blonde's forehead. She could feel the taller blonde smile just as she gently touched soft lips to the soft skin of her head.
"I love you." The blonde wolf smiled into the kiss.
"I love you to Britt." The only sound that filled the room was the soft suckling as Eveline feed, and the soft thumps of two heartbeats that sounded like music to Quinn's ears.

Camilla stopped by to take a look at her granddaughter, and upon hearing her name, tears sprung to her eyes, and for once Santana didn't make some comment, instead she handed her daughter off to her mom.
"Hola Alexandra, soy tu abuelita Camila." The dark haired baby gurgled and looked up at her with wide eyes, Rachel's eyes.
"Recuerda que siempre estás rodeada de mucho amor, cuando la vida se complique no lo olvides." Upon seeing a shine to Santana's eyes, Rachel gently gave the hand intertwined with her own a squeeze.
"What did she say?" Santana gave her a watery smile before leaning down to whisper in her ear.
"She said anytime life gets hard remember you are surrounded by love."
Brittany's mother, Alicia, made a surprise visit up to the hospital when she had heard that her daughter had gone into labor. Of course she initially wasn't going to come, for a fear that she had completely destroyed the relationship she had with her daughter, but after she got over that, and of course sneaking out behind her husband's back, she found herself outside the room her grandbaby was behind.
"Mom? What are you doing here?" Brittany immediately sat up straighter in the bed, bringing the pink bundle up with her, causing a kick reaction of Quinn's protective side to kick in and move closer to guard the bed that holds her family.
"I came to see my baby, and my grandbaby." Her eyes were red rimmed with previous tears, and the smile she held as she moved to the other side of the bed weren't enough for Quinn, though they seemed to be enough for Brittany, who slowly placed their daughter in her mother's arms.
"This is Eveline Rébecca Fabray." The blue eyed woman's mouth lightly fell open as she stared wide eyed down at the tall blonde.
"Eveline? As in my middle name?" Brittany's usual happy smile grew after giving her head a nod.
"And Rébecca is?"
"What I was going to be named, but my dad didn't like it." Alicia nodded, and moved her attention back to the bundle of joy in her arms. Even though Eveline is only a few hours old, it's already clear she's inherited Brittany's happy attitude. After she had finished feeding and she was resting in Quinn's arms, the blonde wolf moved around the room lightly bouncing her, and if she could've, she would've smiled, instead it was clear in her eyes how happy the newborn was.
When news got to the other Glee kids that Rachel and Brittany had given birth to girls, each of their rooms were swarmed with the Gleeks. Or however many the nurses allowed in at a time.
It wasn't until the last person had walked out of the door, that Rachel had realized they had not seen Brittany or Quinn. So with a few words said to a nurse, Rachel was being put in a wheel chair, Alexandra in her arms, and Santana pushing her to Brittany's room.
"Hey, figured you want to see my beautiful baby." Quinn rolled her eyes at her friend, but didn't try and hide the smile she had when she saw the dark haired girl bundle in a pink knit cap, wrapped up in a hospital blanket.
"You think you have a beautiful baby, check out mine." While Quinn and Santana began their playful argument Rachel wheeled over to Brittany's side, and they exchanged babies.
"Oh she's so adorable." Rachel softly cooed, obviously already fallen into the charm Eveline seems to have over people.
"What you name her?"
"Alexandra Maya Lopez-Berry. You?"
"Eveline Rébecca Fabray." Rachel and Brittany didn't seem to care that their loves were arguing in the corner, both of them too focused on the babies in their arms.
"She has your eyes and nose, but Santana's hair and skin."
"She has your eyes and Quinn's hair."

The girls and the babies were released the next day, and they were both eager to go home, after spending more than twenty four hours in the uncomfortable hospital beds, they were more than ready to return to their comfortable beds. Only problem that arose, which they found out on the first night, was when one baby cried, they both did.
Eveline had woken up some time in the middle of the night for a feeding, prompting Alexandra to follow her and begin her own crying. And while it was highly annoying, they were very routine. Eveline cries, Alexandra wakes up, cries. Or vice versa.
It became apparent that the second week after the babies were born, that they were going to need a bigger place to stay. And after much pleading, and promises of help pay for food, the Berry's had agreed that Rachel and Santana would take Rachel's room, and make the guest room a nursery, while Quinn and Brittany would take the full basement, complete with two bedrooms, and a bathroom.
After that everything seemed to be going great, everything was running smoothly. Rachel and Brittany went back to school, and the four girls graduated with their class, and the girls were nearing 5 months old when teeth began to develop. And of course since they're part wolves so they have faster teeth growth rate, and their canines were one of the first teeth to develop, and after them, all their other teeth came in. Incisors, two more incisors, their first molars, and then their second molars. But what Rachel and Brittany had not planned for, was still breast feeding when they appeared.
Rachel first noticed them when one day she got up to feed Alex, when she bit down on her breast, making her nearly scream, and causing Santana to come running into the room.
"What? What is it? Are you ok? Is Alex ok?" Rachel nodded, and rubbed at the sore muscle.
"Yeah fine. Her teeth came in overnight if you didn't know." Santana through a sheepish grin her way while giving the back of her neck a scratch.
"Um…yeah sorry. Must be a wolf thing."
THE END
