Here's the last chapter! I promised a happy ending after two emotional chapters before! Thank you for sticking by this story till the end. Thank you for reading and interacting with me. We did it!
1 year later
It was a weird day to be honest. Every day in San Francisco it would be cloudy and cold or at least patches of clouds would engulf parts of the day. Today, it remained sunny. When Santana and the baby woke up, the sun already smiled and it was bright and cool/warm day and no clouds were in sight.
Santana and the baby lay in the grass. Today is a perfect day to soak up the sun. The Latina rolled onto her stomach and looked at the now one year old. "What are you doing?" She looked at the light skinned, brunette baby in front of her trying to get up and walk. She smiled at the baby's feeble attempt on walking.
As the baby plopped on the floor in her pee filled diaper, she looked at her Mami and smiled. Her two front teeth showed. Teething has become a hassle to the baby but she always smiled through the irritating pain.
"You're tolerance for pain is like Kelli's." She eyed the baby closer, "I never noticed, but your eyes are green, like Kelli's." She looked at the landmark next to her. "Kelli, my daughter looks like you."
They were in the cemetery. It has been a year since Kelli's death.
"Happy 19th birthday, Kelli." Santana smiled, sat up and scooted closer to the gravestone. She put a bouquet of nineteen sunflowers on the grass near Kelli.
One the day Kelli died, the doctor told them that it was Kelli's birthday. She turned eighteen when she passed away.
"You were so young to leave, you know?" She frowned and pursed her lips. "But you know what Kelli?" She smiled brightly. "Kelli is exactly like you." She looked at her daughter who managed to get up and walk slowly towards Santana.
"Oh my gosh, Kelli!" Santana squatted. She opened her arms wide open urging the little brunette to continue.
Kelli walked and stumbled slowly towards Mami. She kept her pace slow and kept herself leveled without falling on her baby bum again.
"Come here!" As Kellie reached her Mami's arms, she was picked up and thrown up in the air and caught. She laughed happily as she landed gingerly and safely back on loving arms.
"Why didn't you wake us up, Mami?"
Santana turned around in hearing the familiar voice and saw Brittany, Ava and Valerie approaching them through the cemetery.
"Yeah, me and Ava wanted to surprise her with a bowl of cheerios." Valerie let go of her Mommy's hand end looked up at Kelli. "Happy birthday Kelli!"
Kelli shook around in her Mami's arms so she can be put down.
Ava waited for her little sister to be put down and held out her hand.
Kelli took her hand and reached out for Valerie's. She smiled brightly at both of them.
The three siblings or nowadays known as the Three Musketeers walked slowly supporting the youngest child towards the car.
"Don't go far! Stay in sight please!" Brittany called out. She walked closer to the Latina looking down at the gravestone, smiling sadly.
"I still miss her, Brittany." She sighed heavily and hugged the blonde. The bump on her stomach was gone and she can envelope her arms around her wife tightly and securely. She's sexy as always.
"I miss her too, San." She cupped the smaller woman's face and made her look into her own eyes. "Every time I dance, I feel like she's dancing with me. Always." She hugged her tighter and looked at the grave. "Happy birthday Kells." She smiled genuinely. "It's Kelli's first birthday today." She talked to it as if she was talking to Kelli still. "I would have totally gotten you male strippers with rubber duck outfits." She laughed.
"Ew, Britt! She's only nineteen! I wouldn't allow it!" Santana protested in disgust.
"Oh shut up, we went to a strip club when on your eighteenth birthday!" She peppered kisses on the Latina's face.
Santana blushed. She remembers.
They snuck in a girl strip club on the night of her eighteenth birthday. They were drunk and Santana spoke with liquid courage. When they got there the courage went away and her drunkness faded. She remembers how a blonde stripper named Starlight stripped and teased her. Her center radiated with the urge for sex, she was definitely horny. She also remembered how Brittany became jealous and started competing with Starlight in stripping. Of course before Brittany got all of her clothes off she started making out with Starlight. This turned Santana even more. Brittany's plot of jealousy worked and Santana dragged her sexy ass back to her house. That night was filled with hands here and there, tongues here and there, skins touching here and there, lips meeting everywhere and "I love you's." That night was the night Santana knew she couldn't live without Brittany. She knew she loved her, but life without her would be impossible to live through. Brittany will forever be her number one.
"San, are you okay?" Brittany cocked her head to the side and looked at the brunette intently with concern.
Her face was flushed red from the perverted, yet lovely memories of her and Brittany shared and created with one another. "Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled and gave the pink lips a quick chaste kiss. "Let's go Mommy."
They walked hand in hand towards the girls.
"Bye Kelli! We'll see you soon!" Ava yelled out to the grave and blew a kiss.
The girls rode in the Range Rover with their Mommy and Santana followed suit, just right behind the car. Today is going to be a perfect day.
"ABC! Bella!" Santana yelled out in frustration. "SIT!"
The overly active dogs sat and wagged their tails.
"Go to your cages! NOW!" Santana glared at the dogs.
ABC went to his cage and plopped on the bed, snoring almost instantly; he really didn't give a fuck. Bella tucked her ears back and tail between her legs as she whimpered to her cage.
"I'm not mad. Just stressed. Everyone's coming soon." Santana patted the Bella on the head and shut their cages.
Bella wagged her tail happy and by the looks of it, she seemed to smile.
"Be good now." Santana winked and closed the garage door.
*DING-DONG*
Brittany opened the front doors and yelled out, "OH MY GOD! BETH!" She hugged the teenager that resembled Quinn. "Isn't college starting soon?" She left the door open as she and Beth sat on the couch.
"Yeah but I wanted to come here though. Never been! Plus, I miss Mama and Papa. Mom always tells me to go visit New York but I don't cause I study too much."
"I heard you got a full ride scholarship to Yale! Congrats!"
"She got the brains from me of course!" Puck walked in carrying a huge box carrying Kelli's present. "Good looks from her Mama."
"Please, brains and beauty from me." Quinn walked in and sat next to her daughter. "Isn't that right, Beth?"
"Sorry Pa. I'm beautiful like Mama, not handsome." She grabbed her little brother Paul and kissed him on the cheek, receiving an "Ew gross! Cooties!"
"He's handsome like Papa." Beth smiled.
"That's my girl." Puck smiled.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Lizard baby." Santana smirked at Beth as she entered the room. She raised her left eyebrow and examined the girl.
"Well, if it isn't Satan herself!" Beth retorted back. She smirked as well, not backing down.
Quinn pinched her daughter for saying that back.
Puck gulped and looked at Santana, waiting for her Lima Heights to come out.
Brittany's eyes went wide with astonishment.
"Come here!" Santana laughed at the remark and hugged the girl tightly. "You've grown up so much!"
Everyone looked at them with surprise.
"Last time I saw you Mrs. Busy was during Paul's birth!"
"I know and I am sorry." She sighed. "But I heard about your full ride at Yale. Bad ass!" She pulled away and looked at the teenager. "What are you going to major in?"
"Biomedical Engineering." Beth beamed with excitement. "I want to find a cure for cancer and treat it for good!"
Brittany looked at Santana. She knew this was a touchy subject for her wife.
"That's a good goal, kid." Santana smiled genuinely. "Don't be a fuck up like your dad."
"HEY!" Puck held his hands out. "I'm a rockstar!"
"Education wise, genius!" Santana looked at Puck and rolled her eyes. "As a congratulation, Auntie Tana and Auntie Britt have something for you!"
Brittany got up and ran upstairs.
"It better be condoms!" Puck yelled out. "Your douchebag boyfriend better not knock you up. I'll kick his ass and rip his nipple ring off!"
"Oh hush, your nipple ring was ripped off in jail and you cried." Quinn rolled her eyes.
Brittany came back with a box. The wrapping was balloons and graduation hats on a silver, shiny background.
"You can use it now too!" Brittany gave Beth the box.
"We have seen some of your photography in National Geographic during your summer break trips around the world, and we don't want you to lose your passion of capturing moments." Santana smiled as Beth's face lit up when she opened the box and saw what was inside.
"OH. MY. GOD." She looked at the box. "This is the newest model of Nikon DSLR!" She lifted the box that only revealed smaller boxes. "OH. MY. GOD. That's all the lenses I can ask for and the flash!" She looked at the two women that gave this to her and ran to them, hugging them tightly as if she'll never let go.
"Let them breathe, honey." Shelby walked in the room holding a small ribboned box.
Beth let go and said, "Yes, Mom!" She let go and turned around. "Do you guys see what they got me?"
"Wow, I can never afford to buy you that." Shelby said bluntly.
"Mom, you gave me a home and you gave me love. That's the best present of all time." She kissed her mom on the cheek. "Of course I can't forget about Papa!" Beth kissed him on the forehead. "And Mama." She smiled and kissed her Mama on the cheek. "Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to tinker with my newfound love."
"So you dumped your loser boyfriend?" Puck seemed excited.
"Yeah, he sucked at being romantic." Beth laughed.
"Upstairs, there's space for you try things out." Santana suggested. "Hi Shelby." Brittany and Santana gave the older but good looking woman tight hug.
"Paul, help me!" Beth and Paul slowly bring the box upstairs. When they disappeared Quinn looked at Shelby.
"You've raised her very well. Thank you." She smiled genuinely.
"And thank you for getting knocked up and knocking her up at sixteen." She laughed and everyone joined in the laughter.
"Grandmama!" Persephone bursts through the double doors and jumped up to hug Shelby.
"I missed you so much, Percy." Shelby hugged back.
"Mom!" Rachel bounded through the doors and hugged her Mom and daughter.
"Hi Rachel. It's great to see you." Their loving embrace was caught in Beth's new camera.
"Hi sissy!" Beth walked down the stairs to Rachel. "I haven't seen you in forever."
"I have missed you incredibly!" She embraced her younger and adopted sister. "Did you get your present? Did you like it?" Her eyes went wide with anticipation.
Before Beth can answer Santana yelled out, "Can it dwarf! My ears are already bleeding!"
Rachel ran to Santana and hugged her lovingly "And a 'hello and I have missed you so much' to you too!"
Santana rolled her eyes and hugged back with as much love.
"Where's the little beauty? I want to see her!" Rachel vibrated with excitement.
"She's asleep still, but she should wake soon. It's almost six." Santana smiled. "Oh, is Finn here?" She looked around not spotting the giant already.
"He's just getting the present. It's rather delicate.
"Let me guess, you got my daughter an ice sculpture of yourself?" The Latina kidded.
"Actually, no. Not this time." She sounded guilty because she was about to get that in hopes Kelli would look up to her. "I have two dresses for your daughter."
Santana knew that Rachel didn't have the best taste in the world, but she kept her mouth shut. It is the thought that counts.
"My final present is for you and Brittany." She smiled.
Finn walked in carrying a small box and a long thin rectangle thing wrapped in brown paper.
"Happy birthday to your baby and this is for you guys. Rachel and Kurt picked out the color and the frame and everything. I just carried it." Finn awkwardly handed Santana the presents.
Santana put the small smaller figure down and tore the brown paper off covering the rectangle shape.
It was a black and white photo of Santana, Brittany, the newborn baby, Kelli, Valerie, and Ava in the hospital bed. Brittany carried the baby in her arms as Santana kissed Brittany's forehead all teary eyed and Ava and Valerie smiled at their new little sister.
Brittany looked at Santana and stared at what she's looking at. "Oh my God, Rach. This is beautiful…" The blonde hugged her wife and stared adoringly. "I didn't know you took this."
"Well, all of you were in such a beautiful moment and I couldn't help but snap a picture." She showcased her glamorous celebrity smile. "Plus, it was Santana's birthday just four days ago, I would never forget!"
Santana grabbed Rachel's hands and embraced her fully. "It's perfect, Rachel. Thank you."
Everyone in the room conversed with one another and just caught up with what they have missed and what has been going on. Mike, Tina and May came in after ten minutes. Blaine, Kurt, Mercedes and Marcus (Mercedes's boyfriend) walked in together. Sam brought his fiancée from France and introduced her to everyone. Artie came with his girlfriend who's a Victoria Secret model. The kids played upstairs in the girls' room. Jo came as well but the last people to come were Santana's parents and Brittany's mom.
"Sorry we're late mija, your old man's getting older." He apologized.
"Don't worry about it, sir!" Brittany gave him a kiss on the forehead. She then hugged her mother in law firmly and embraced her mom and kissing her on the cheeks. "I've missed you so much Mommy!"
"I've missed you too, baby!"
"Speaking of baby." She heard Kelli crying on the baby walkie talkie. "I'll go get her."
She ran upstairs and went to her Kelli's room just next to theirs.
"Hi sweetheart." She switched on the light and turned off the night light. "Did you have a great nappy nap?" She did her baby talking voice.
Almost immediately, Kelli's tears and crying subsided and was replaced by a smile and laughing.
"That's my little angel." Santana smiled and lifted the beautiful baby from her crib.
Kelli wore a puffy black and white polka dotted dress with white stockings. The little messy curls on her head was perfectly cute and adorable that Santana just placed a pink ribboned head band on her head.
"Let's go to your birthday party!"
The kids ran downstairs as she was about to go down carrying her baby and they heard singing.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Kelli's eyes went wide from the powerful vocals of everyone. The big unison voice and the crowd of people staring and smiling at her scared her. She did the only thing she perfected: Cry.
Happy Birthday to you!
"WAAAAH!" Kelli cried hard with hiccupping and snot coming out of her nose.
"Kelli, it's okay. Look! It your Grandma's and Papi!" She pointed at the grandparents waving at the little girl from far away. They made sure not to scare the surprised little girl even more.
Brittany went up the steps of the stairs and smiled at Kelli. "Hey there sleepy head!" Brittany wiped her daughters face with a soft tissue. "There you look cute again."
Kelli smiled and extended her arms towards the blonde.
Santana sighed and smiled in relief. Her daughter's going to be okay.
Brittany picked up the girl and walked downstairs in front of the crowd. "Here's the birthday girl!" She looked at Kelli and said, "Go say 'Hi' to everyone."
Kelli started twirling her hair with her left hand and the other hand she waved at everyone.
The crowd awed and said "Hi" to the adorable little girl.
Kelli smiled and buried her face in Brittany's neck. She felt happily embarrassed.
Beth snapped a picture and snuck behind Brittany, unbeknownst to the little girl hiding. She then yelped out, "PEEKABOO!"
It startled the little birthday baby but she laughed whole heartedly.
She and Beth started playing a round of peekaboo.
Santana went down the stairs and announced, "Time to eat and get the party going!"
The party is going perfectly. The kids are playing little games outside: hop scotch, hacky sack, basketball, tag, sack racing, musical chairs, scavenger hunt, and lastly, the piñata but they were saving that for last. Paul and Persephone got into a little fight during the scavenger hunt.
"Paul, you should let me get this one because it is what gentlemen do!" Persephone huffed.
"I'm a kid, I'm no gentleman. I am taking this one!" As he grabbed the golden rubber ball to win the game Persephone jumped on his back and started grabbing the ball in front of him.
Let's just say no one won that game because it was ruined and everyone just received little prizes for the effort.
Persephone cried because she wouldn't be going to ballet practice and Paul just sat mad and glaring at Persephone; he isn't allowed to go to the mall for a month for fighting a girl.
The adults have been dining, drinking and conversing with one another some more. They were too old to play with the children. Mike and Blaine watched the kids play and made sure everything was fair played.
Kelli was being passed around to everyone as if she was a trophy they have won. She didn't cry, in fact, she was eager to hold her arms out to anyone who looked friendly. Kelli liked everyone very much and was a happy baby.
"Santana, your girl is a mixture or you and Brittany. Look at her features." Jo examined the little baby in his arms.
"Well, I picked a guy who looked like Santana. I want the baby to look like me and her." Brittany smiled as she took the little girl from the old man. "You're a beautiful baby, aren't you?" The blonde eskimo kissed her daughter.
Kelli laughed at the tickling and affectionate sensation her Mommy gave her. She put her little hands on Brittany's cheeks and gave a wet and slobbery kiss on the pale lips.
"I don't think that is really cute. She kinda drooled on you…" Finn looked grossed out.
"Oh Finn, you just don't know how affection looks like!" Tina retorted. "Besides, she's adorable. There is nothing cuter than her."
Santana got up and went to the garage to get the Rainbow Dash piñata.
Quinn came in the garage and helped Santana. "This unicorn is a perfect representation of your family."
Santana raised her eyebrows. "Excuse me but was that an insult?"
"No. I mean remember when Brittany made that campaign for senior class president in high school? It represented not only being proud to be gay but a different form of love was defined." Quinn smiled.
"Oh." Santana calmed down.
"We've grown so much Santana, especially you. I noticed, ever since Kelli passed on, your heart sort of grew bigger and loveable. Not soft."
"Well, when you lose someone who's taught your heart kindness, it does something to you." She smiled genuinely.
"Come on, Kelli wants to beat the shit of that cardboard!" Quinn joked and laughed.
"Since when do you curse like a sailor?" Santana mused the blonde.
"Just now, never again!"
The pair walked back into the house and motioned everyone to follow them outside.
Finn tied the piñata on the tree while Puck held it up.
"Dude, we can totally break this bitch in one blow, you know?" Puck seemed like he wanted to beat the living crap of the piñata.
"Aren't we too old for this? Last time I did this was when I was eleven." Finn replied, finishing tying the piñata to the tree securely.
"Let's do it now and get it over with!" Puck said excitedly.
"Santana, here's the stick! Let Kelli hit it first."
Santana walked towards the tree and took the wooden stick from Finn. Kelli's hands were clearly smaller than the circumference of the stick so she grabbed both of Kelli's hands and enveloped it around the stick. She then took one of her hands and securely grasps Kelli's hands and the stick.
Beth snapped of the crowd cheering the baby on and the Latina holding the baby about to attack the gay unicorn hanging from the tree.
"Ready Kelli?" She lifted her hand gently and tapped the unicorn. The baby laughed as the stick hit the unicorn and made it spin. Kelli took matters on her own hands. She struggled to carry the stick, getting support from her Mami, and started smacking at the gay unicorn.
"Good job, Kells!" Brittany clapped as she watched.
"Beat the crap out of it!" Paul yelled out happily.
"Make that two months, Paul." Quinn scolded the boy.
"Baby, don't be like that. He just hears me say it all the time." Puck pleaded.
"You are a bad influence and you are a bad influencee." Quinn smiled and clapped for the baby beating the poor piñata.
Paul and Puck sat on the steps with their arms folded.
"Who wants to go next?" Santana yelled out loud as she walked towards Brittany with Kelli beaming with happiness in her arms.
The kids started lining one by one getting blind folded by Finn and Sam spinning them slowly around three times.
"Good job, Kells! Mommy is so proud of you!" Brittany peppered kisses all over the baby's face as the baby laughed from getting tickled.
"Go Ava!" Santana yelled out as her mini me made little success in hitting the colorful unicorn.
"Hit that horse hard, Val!" Brittany cheered on.
"I don't support animal abuse so I am passing." She stepped away with her bag and held Ava's hand, anticipating for the burst of Rainbow Dash and have it bleed with candies.
"Your daughter is very mature." Shelby commented. "She's already thinking globally."
"She's smart like Mommy." Santana kissed her blonde wife on the cheek."
"HEY PUCK!" Finn yelled out. "No one broke the piñata, want to do the honors?" Finn smiled and handed the stick as if it was a sword.
"AHHHHH!" With one strike, the poor Rainbow Dash split in two and bled with candies.
"That's how the Puckasaurus does it!" Puck flexed his muscles getting shaped in his long sleeved plaid shirt.
As the kids fought for their candies and put in their baggies, a group of college girls passed by and screamed, "OH MY GOD! IT'S NOAH PUCKERMAN!"
Puck let go of the stick and yelled out to the kids, "Run in the house now!" Puck ran into the house and the group of screaming children trailed right behind him.
The group of college girls went inside the Pierce-Lopez front yard and started fangirling.
Santana gave the baby to Brittany and blocked the group of college meat. "Excuse me, but turn around and go, please. This is a kids party."
They ignored her and started noticing the other celebrities in the house. "That's Mercedes Jones! I watched her concert in Seattle two months ago!" One girl yelped out. "SAM EVANS? Marry me!" Another girl begged, almost in tears. "Rachel, Kurt and Blaine, I love all of your plays! Hey aren't those super models?" They eyed the two beautiful, tall, European women in front of them. They advanced and nearly knocked the Latina down.
"EXCUSE ME!" Santana pushed them.
"How rude! Who the fuck are you?" They started yelling and sticking the middle finger out.
Finn, Quinn, and Mike stepped in front of the Latina and Rachel and Sam held the Latina back before her mouth could start opening and go Lima Heights on those bitches.
"Leave now or I will have the cops come!" Quinn said calmly but glaring at them.
"Aren't you Puck's wife? You look like a fucking grandma!" The group of college girls laughed at one of the girls remarks. That same girl who insulted Quinn spat on her face. "Good one!" They laughed once more.
Mr. and Mrs. Lopez blocked the doors to make sure the kids won't leave and join in the commotion. Mrs. Pierce turned on the stereo and played loud music. Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi started playing to mask the upcoming pandemonium.
In an instant, Beth tackled the girl who was rude to her Mama and started shoving grass and dirt in the girls' mouth. "You are full of shit, you bitch!" The other girls tackled her off the dirt filled girl and started kicking and punching her.
All the guys in the house grabbed the girls beating down on Beth and Beth was dragged up and held up by Shelby and Quinn.
Puck pinned down the girl who spat on her wife on her stomach and yelled out "Don't you fucking say that to my wife again you whore! Next time, if any of you bitches touch my daughter I will beat you with my guitar!"
Santana dragged and pushed one of the girls off of Finn who climbed him like a tree.
"Good job, baby!" Shelby held her daughter up firmly and complimented her.
Quinn wiped off the spit on her face and smiled. She felt proud being Beth's mom.
The cops came no more than two minutes later. Their sirens were on and the sounds can be heard echoing through the street. The group of girls managed to struggle away from the men straining them and ran off into different directions.
"We caught all of them." The cops assured.
"Beth, I can be your lawyer if you want to sue these bitches." Santana offered.
Beth had a busted lip, a black eye and bruises everywhere.
"I can also sue them for trespassing, loitering and disturbing the peace." Santana suggested.
"It's all up to you, Beth." Shelby held Beth's hand and squeezed it.
"Nah!" Beth smiled. "They are idiots already."
"You sure, pumpkin?" Puck smiled weakly.
"Totally! A night in jail will set them straight!" She looked at the four cop cars that kept the group of girls in handcuffs. She stuck out her middle finger.
She can see the girls' reaction perfectly. They mouthed out "Fuck you!" Beth couldn't help but smile. "Jail for a night is good enough."
"Have a good rest of the night then." The cop nodded and walked off.
"I'll be back." Jo walked with the cops and talked to them.
"Let's go inside and clean up poor Beth." Brittany held Kelli and went inside the house.
"I have to give props yo! Beth, you were BADASS!" Artie high fived the battered girl.
Brittany knew what to say, "WHO RUN THE WORLD?"
All the women and girls in the room screamed out unison, "GIRLS!"
Everyone cheered and patted Beth on the back congratulating her for her badassness.
"Quinn, let's clean Beth up." Shelby said.
"Here, come with me." Brittany walked upstairs and she was followed by Beth, Shelby and Quinn.
Jo walked in the house and closed the door.
"Where'd you go, Jo?" Santana asked the old man as he sat in an arm chair.
"Oh, I just got all those girls names so I can talk to their parents one by one. I won't let this slide so I want them to do 200 hours of community service each as a punishment. I pretended that we're going to sue them."
"I like this guy!" Puck shook the man's hand.
"Believe it or not but I am close to the dean in UC Davis. If I tell him to expel them, he will." Jo looked so proud as he had that power.
"Damn Jo. You are pretty badass too!" Santana nodded her head.
The old man couldn't help but feel tall with a big stick.
Beth bounded down the stairs happily. "I'm clean!" Beth looked cleaner but still bruised as she walked down the stairs. "Let's get this party started!"
The grandfather clock in the hallway struck eight o'clock.
The rest of the party was indoors just to avoid any more commotion.
The adults were getting a little buzzed as they laughed out loud with one another reminiscing about the old days in Glee club and in high school.
"Remember how Santana wanted to beat Rachel's ass every time she opened her big mouth?" Mercedes laughed hysterically slapping Santana's knee.
"COSAS MALAS!" Rachel laughed the loudest. She and alcohol were such a lightweight combo. She tried having the Hispanic accent but failed miserably cause of laughing.
The children in the upstairs living room were watching Finding Nemo, played board games, and colored on the coloring books. Brittany and Santana made sure that the kids would never get bored. Plus, the goodie bag filled with candy and little toys kept them busy.
Beth went up and down the stairs snapping pictures at anything and everything her lenses were set at. Her passion was working. She didn't mind the minor pain she felt throughout. She felt proud for sticking up for her Mama. Every time she would make eye contact with her Mama she would smile brightly. Every time she made eye contact with Shelby, her Mom would wink at her. She definitely did the right thing.
Brittany handed Quinn Kelli and grabbed Santana's hand. "May you hold her? San and I just need to get the cake."
"Okay." Quinn smiled and looked at the brunette haired baby. "Remember, I am your favorite aunt and godmother!" She poked the baby and received a laugh from getting tickled. "You're such a happy baby!"
"No!" Rachel pointed at Quinn and fell over to the ground laughing. "I'm her favorite!"
Finn picked her off the ground and sat her next to him, "Calm down Rachel." He put an around the smaller woman. Rachel snuggled closer into Finn's warm hands and closed her eyes.
Jo stood up and put something around Kelli's neck. It was a gold necklace with a golden star and crescent moon that had little diamonds inside.
"Jo, that's too much!" Brittany gasped out.
"Nonsense! She is like my granddaughter." He smiled proudly as Kelli looked at him and offered a kind smile.
The Lopez and Pierce grandparents all smiled and welcomed the old man into their arms. Smiling and saying, "Welcome to the family."
"Thank you." Brittany kissed the old man on the cheeks and dragged Santana to the kitchen.
"Looks like your mom and Jo are getting acquainted there." Santana kidded as she looked back before going in the kitchen.
"Interesting party, huh?" Brittany opened the fridge and took out a triple layer chocolate marble care with Nutella frosting.
"Definitely is. Kelli won't remember it, but we will." Santana half smiled.
Brittany cocked her head to the side and examined the Latina who seemed distant. "Hey, you've been far away today." She put the cake down in the counter.
Santana looked at her wife curiously. "I've been with you the whole day." She grabbed little plates from the cub board.
"Not like that, just…" Brittany sighed and smiled. "I miss her too, San."
Santana put down the plates and hugged Brittany without trying to cry. "She would have loved today, you know?"
"I know. I am sure she is very happy that we are having a fun time." Brittany assured.
Santana bit her bottom lip. "Hey, have you noticed how OUR Kelli resembles and acts like Kelli?" Looking deeply through the blue eyes.
"Oh my god! You noticed it too?" The blonde yelped it out.
The blonde and the brunette peered to the door, not getting noticed by anyone and just examined their youngest. She was on Mike's knees standing up and bouncing as she flailed her arms up in down. She laughed and smiled.
Brittany and Santana smiled. Their baby is such a happy little girl. She's like a drop of sunshine in their lives, kind of like how Kelli was.
The bouncing baby noticed her mothers in the door looking at her. They smiled and waved to her. She extended out her arms and said her first two words. "Ma-mi! Mom-my!"
Everyone remained quiet and still.
Kelli continued to laugh and smile as the reached out her arms to her mother's saying, "Ma-mi! Mom-my!"
"San! She just said our names!" Brittany grabbed Santana's hand towards the little baby.
Santana started tearing as she lifted Kelli up into her arms. "You said your first words, Kelli!" She peppered kisses all over the baby's face.
Brittany kissed her baby's forehead and jumped up and down.
"She said her first words!" Santana teared out. "Mami and Mommy."
Thank you again so, so, so much! I have started writing a new project, hope you all can anticipate and read it when it releases.
