MY LITTLE MY LOVE

Time for bed

Santana: *lets out a big sigh for all to hear* i guess *goes all quiet as she cuddles into Brittany and plays with her necklace*

Debs: *didn't wanna draw to much attention to san's attitude coz it will just make matters worse* so... what were you phoning for dear?

Brittany: *chuckles bitterly as she remembers the drama that happened before she called her mum* well, thats quite a long story to be honest.

Debs: *frowns with concern* oh, thats alright! Ive got time!

Brittany: *smiles at her mama being so patient and understanding* well... Sam is staying the night at my place with Layla because she had a rough night last night. She really wanted to see me so I invited them over and we spent the day doing stuff together.

Debs: thats cute! Is she ok now? What happened exactly?

Brittany: basically sam has been chatting to this new woman and things seem to be getting serious with them. Which is great! Im happy for him honestly! It's just that Layla ended up having a nightmare where sam left her and i behind while he moves on with this woman and has a life of their own.

Deb: thats not good! Does sam know how she feels about it all? Im assuming you guys have spoken to her about it already.

Brittany: yeah we all sat down this morning and talked it over. I made it very clear that me and sam are still great friends and we would never let anything come between us. We are a family and no one will every change that because we both love Layla more than anything on earth. And we promised that we would put our differences aside to co-parent and make sure she has the best of everything possible.

Debs: thats good! At least she knows that and can have some piece of mind now!

Brittany: yeah! *lets out a sigh she didn't realise she was holding*

Debs: *was putting the pieces of the puzzle together in her mind* i assume thats why you were saying that Santana wanted to talk to me then? *already knows how Santana feels about sam. She's either mumbling sarcastic comments under her breath, throwing shade his way when in her big headspace. Or sometimes Debbie sees her little headspace straight up cling to Brittany whenever sam is brought up in conversation*

*before Brittany had a chance to answer her mum, she sees Santana shifting in her lap and taking her thumb out her mouth to talk*

Santana: mama i's a big meanie butt! *spoke with such attitude*

*the sudden outburst made the older woman chuckle*

Debs: is she now?! *chuckles to herself for going along with the younger girl*

Santana: Yep! *spoke with such confidence and certainty*

Debs: oh dear! What shall we do with her? *can tell that Brittany will be rolling her eyes right about now*

Santana: she go in time out! *was certain that Brittany will actually get in trouble since Debbie was her mother*

Debs: *chuckles at the little one taking this so seriously* alright! Ill be sure to talk with her about that.

Santana: good! *goes back to snuggling into Brittany and sucking her thumb*

Debs: *hear Santana yawning* alright sweetheart, make sure your mama gives you some goodnight snuggles and kisses from me. *faintly hears san mumble a response*

Brittany: i will! Good night mama! I love you! *looks down at san half asleep already* you gonna say bye to grandma debs, baby?

Santana: bye bye! I w'ove 'ou!

Debs: i love you too darling! Sweet dreams!

*brittany hangs up the phone at puts it on her bedside table then she turns back to santana, seeing that she was sleepily sucking on her thumb. Brittany would hate to be in even more trouble with the brunette but she knows that she needs to get the little one to brush her teeth before she falls into a deep sleep*

Santana: *felt brittany nudge her and try to talk to her about something* no mama! I sleepin' *lightly swatted Brittany's hand away*

Brittany: come on baby! Mama needs to help you brush your teeth. *continues to gently nudge santana awake*

santana: *tried but failed to ignore the blonde* uuugggghh! Fine! *sits up and gives brittany nothing but attitude for keeping her awake*

Brittany: *couldn't help but chuckle at santana's "angry face" come on cutie! I promise to give you a big cuddle after we get your teeth clean. *smiles as santana lightly smiles at that, failing to hide her clinginess towards the blonde*

*a painfully long half hour later! Brittany finally managed to get the brunette to sleep. Brittany quietly snuck out her room and went back down stairs to see if layla was still up with sam*

*much to her surprise layla was actually still wide awake, cuddling up to sam while they watch a movie together*

Brittany: *sat down beside layla* what you's watching? *can see that it is some sort of action movie. Shes not a big movie watcher but sam and layla definitely are. She'd be surprised if there was a movie on Netflix that her daughter hadn't watched yet*

Sam: *turns his attention away from the screen to brittany* its "the man from Toronto" *smiles at brittany then goes back to watching the movie as does brittany*

Brittany: *was very quickly uninterested in the movie as soon as she seen the amount of shooting going on* i cant believe you are letting out daughter watch this stuff! *playfully shook her head at sam*

Layla: *knew that her mum would freak out about it.* calm down mum! It's not that bad. *chuckles as brittany continues to act impressed*

*brittany doesn't make any effort to leave the room or anything. Instead she goes on her phone to scroll through her socials and looking at stuff on her camera roll*

*after the movie*

Layla: *gives both her parents a hug* thank you so much for today! *smiles as do brittany and sam*

Brittany: you're very welcome bubba*
