Jade murmured softly when she felt a pair of soft lips on her bare shoulder where her shirt – Santana's shirt – had fallen down her arm in her sleep. She loved wearing her girlfriends' shirts. They were big on her since she was so much smaller than them, and they brought her a sense of security.

This shirt in particular smelled of cocoa butter, a scent that had become comforting to Jade over the last four years.

"Morning, sleeping beauty," Brittany whispered, her voice soft. She tenderly kissed the spot behind Jade's ear, and the petite girl turned around to face her.

"Morning, Brittsy." Jade reached up and cupped Brittany's cheek. She leaned up and pecked her lips. "Where's Tana?"

"She's in the shower." Brittany nodded over to the hotel room bathroom. They were in the middle of their third week in London, and their trip was coming to an end. At the end of the week, they'd be getting on a plane back to America and on their way to Disney World for Jade's 18th birthday. "She wanted to wake you up so we could join her, but I said that it was a bad idea cause I know how cranky you get when you're woken up."

"Taking a shower with Santana means sex." Jade giggled softly. "That's too risky with Ollie here."

They looked over to the twin bed where their son was sleeping. There was a wall of pillows and blankets around him to keep him from falling off. He was hugging the teddy bear that Jade had gotten him for his first birthday close to him, his mouth open as he breathed steadily, little feet twitching in response to whatever he was dreaming about.

"He's such an angel," Brittany said as she pulled Jade to lay on top of her. She kissed her temple and held her close. "Which makes sense because you're an angel, too."

"You're an angel," Jade whispered, her big blue eyes staring lovingly into Brittany's. The blonde smiled softly and brushed the younger girl's brunette hair out of her face. She leaned in to kiss her, but was interrupted by Oliver crawling onto the bed and jumping on top of them.

"Hi, Mummies!" Oliver giggled.

"Oh, my little London boy." Jade rolled off of Brittany and pulled Oliver into her lap. She kissed the top of his head and smoothed down his dark brunette hair.

"We should've known bringing a one-and-a-half year old to London meant he was gonna mimic the accent," Santana said, chuckling as she exited the bathroom dressed for the day. She tossed the towel she was using to dry her hair to the side and picked Oliver up. "You're not British, mijo."

"Mummy." Oliver grinned innocently and laughed when Santana said something to him in Spanish.

Santana looked to Brittany and Jade, who were both failing to contain their amused chuckles. "It's not funny," she said in a serious tone as she shook her head.

"I mean..." Brittany exchanged a look with Jade, who covered her mouth to hide her entertained smile. "It's kind of funny."

Oliver giggled and held the sides of Santana's face when she looked at him again. The Latina sighed and kissed his cheek.

"You're lucky you're cute, Oliver Beckett."

Being 18 was turning out to be a blast. Jadelynn didn't know if it was because she was in a better place mentally, because she was taking her meds, or because things were finally getting better like she'd been told they would for 4 years.

She held Brittany and Santana's hands as they walked through Magic Kingdom at Disney World. Oliver skipped ahead of them with a Mickey Mouse ice cream and a koala backpack leash on to keep him from getting lost.

"Okay, we still haven't done Haunted Mansion or the spinning teacups," Santana said as she looked at the map.

"I wanna go on It's A Small World again!" Jade chirped. "Oh! And Space Mountain."

"Ollie's too little for Space Mountain," Brittany pointed out.

"Okay, so I can go on Space Mountain, and you guys can take Ollie to do the teacups."

"Stitchy!" Oliver suddenly screamed in excitement. He jumped up and down and pointed to Stitch. "Mommy, Mommy! Is Stitchy!"

"Stitch!" Jade gasped. She took Oliver's leash out of Brittany's hand and ran with her son to the blue alien, who had come out to take pictures and sign autographs.

"Jadelynn, slow down!" Santana called out to her as she and Brittany ran after their youngest girlfriend.

"I don't care who I hurt, I wanna meet Stitch!" Jade picked up Oliver, and the baby squealed happily, hugging his mom's neck tightly as she sprinted through the crowded theme park.

"She does know it's just some person in a costume, right?" Santana asked Brittany, slowing down as she panted for air. "That little shit is fast."

"Shhhhh, don't break the illusion for her, Sanny." Brittany took her camera out of her bag and jogged to catch up with her son and girlfriend, who were getting autographs and hugs from Stitch.
