Sam: alright! Well you know you can call me if you need help with anything at all. Id be more than happy to have Layla stay here so you can have time to yourself till things calm down a bit.

Brittany: a-are you sure? *she loves Layla more than anything but she knows that she wouldn't be able to look after her right now.

Sam: of course! Ill make sure to talk with the school and organise something for her so she doesn't get anymore bother with anyone. Even if its just half days and then she comes to work with me for the rest of the day.

Brittany: you're the best! I owe you one!

Sam: no problem at all! *chuckles coz he doesn't expect anything from Britt. He's just doing what any other father in his position would do*

Brittany: *pauses for a minute* are you ok to tell Layla the news for me? *went back to speaking in a very nervous tone*

Sam: of course! ...go get some rest and ill speak with you tomorrow. Ill let you know how Layla is.

Brittany: alright! ...Bye!

Sam: bye!

*Brittany hung up the phone then turned into san so that she could burry her face into the brunette and hold her close*

*the young couple stayed cuddled up for a good few minutes, just lost in their own thoughts about whats happened.*

Brittany: *ended up sobbing all over again as her thoughts confusion and fear had consumed her mind* w-why m-m-me! *sobs and shakes uncontrollably. Santana felt absolutely helpless seeing Brittany so broken, all she could do was hold the blonde and rub her back in a comforting way. The brunette just kept whispering words of love and reassurance that she was gonna be there for Brittany, no matter what*

*as the week goes by, Brittany becomes more closed off with the world and would just spend her days in bed, either sleeping or sobbing into Santana's embrace. Santana of course did what she could to take care of the blonde and make sure she eats and drinks a decent amount each day. For the most part Santana would also communicate with Danny about Brittany's condition.*

*by the 3rd day of this new reality, Danny and Santana had  been texting and Danny suggested that she could bring Eric round to see Brittany and hopefully lift her spirits a little bit. San of course was onboard with the idea coz she's already feeling guilty enough for how much Brittany has escalated, despite san doing her absolute best to remind the blonde that shes not alone and Santana loves her more than anything on earth*

*so its currently 5pm on a Tuesday! Danny has just finished work and is on her way to pick Eric up from the babysitter's*

Danny: *buckles Eric into his carseat as the little boy excitedly talks about his day* hey bubs, guess what? *smiles down at Eric*

Eric: *looks up at his mum with wonder* wha' ?

Danny: we are gonna go see auntie Britt today! Would you like that? *smiles at her son, already knowing his answer*

Eric* smiles up at his mama* YAYYY! *does a little happy dance*

*with one last kiss to Erics cheek Danny gets into the driver's seat and heads to the girls place* 

*the whole way there, Eric kept on kicking his feet excitedly and talking about giving "Bi-Bi" a big hug when he sees her*

*soon enough Danny pulls up in Brittany's driveway, sending san a quick text to say they have arrived. As always San lets Danny just walk in.*

Eric: *wriggled his way out of his mama's arms as soon as Santana came into view* TAY-TAY! *ran straight into her arms getting scooped up, giving each other a big hug*

Santana: *couldn't help but smile at seeing how excited Eric gets every time he visits* hey buddy! How are you?

Eric: i good! I been p'waying wi'f my b'wocks! *smiles at san*

Santana: no way! Did you make big towers? *talks enthusiastically as Eric tells her all about his day* 

Danny: *was watching san interact with Eric, with the biggest smile on her face seeing how good san is with kids* I'm here too y'know?! *acts all dramatic that san and Eric were being completely oblivious to Danny being there*

Santana: *just smiles at Danny and goes in for a one armed hug since she  was still holding Eric* you're just jealous that I'm his favourite! *chuckles as Danny playfully slaps her and playfully rolls her eyes*

Eric: *looks around and cant find Brittany anywhere* where Bi-Bi go? *pouts at san*

Santana: *smiles sweetly at the little boy* no need to frown buddy, Shes just upstairs.

Eric: we go see her? *looks at san with a hopeful look in his eyes*

Santana: *smiles at him* of course we can. I was just about to take some coffee up to her. Can you help me do that?

Eric: *nods enthusiastically* yeah! *he wiggles his way out sans embrace so he can take his shoes and jacket off*

*Santana goes and gets the cup of coffee she had poured just before Danny arrived. She then follows an excited Eric all the way up the stairs and thats when she sees him bolt into Brittany's room, calling out for her*

*Santana walks in the room to see Eric sat on the edge of their now empty bed*

Eric: Bi-Bi not in bed! *frowns at san*

Santana: I'm sure shes around here somewhere! *places Brittany's coffee on their clothes drawer then she looks around the room. Soon enough San spots that the bathroom light is on, then she listens closer and hears faint whimpers coming from inside*

Santana: *goes and knocks lightly on the bathroom door* baby, can i come in?

Brittany: *still whimpering a little* o-okay!

*without hesitation Santana opens the door and sees Brittany crouched down beside the toilet, looking white as a sheet. The sight alone makes Santana wanna cry*
