MY LITTLE MY LOVE

Working hard or hardly working

*That afternoon it was lunchtime and Brittany and Santana were sat on the couch facing each other, with their feet up. Their convo was pretty much all about Layla's birthday and how they still need to pick up a few bits and pieces to hide in their car before they collect the young teen from school*

Brittany: *saw that Santana was about half way through her food and has started to play about with it* you had enough? *looks at san as the brunette nods her head*

*seeing how san has gone quiet all of a sudden, this obviously concerns Brittany. So the blonde was quick to lift sans outstretched legs off the couch so Brittany can sit down, letting the brunettes legs rest on Britt's lap*

Brittany: whats wrong? ...you've gone really quiet all of a sudden? *tucks a strand of sans hair behind her ear, hoping the brunette will make eye contact with her*

Santana: *slowly looks up from her fidgeting hands, nervously biting her lip* I was just thinking... *looks back at her hands*

Brittany: *can tell it's something big because of how nervous San is. So Brittany reaches out and takes hold of san's hands, giving her some form of comfort* do you wanna talk about it? *was wanting to make san feel better as soon as possible but she knows that she needs to be patient because she knows that san will tell her when shes ready*

Santana: *felt kinda silly with how nervous she was about what shes wanting to say when she already knows that she can trust Brittany with her life.* well... i- *bites her lip again, but soon relaxed feeling Brittany's gentle touch cupping the side of her face* i was just wondering if my mum  was gonna be coming to dinner with us tonight? *looks at Brittany shyly*

Brittany: *smiles sweetly at san* she is more than welcome to come along as long as you are comfortable with that... I wouldn't force that on you if you aren't ok with it babe. *spoke in a soft, caring tone of voice*

Santana: i know! ...I just don't wanna ruin it for Layla if she wanted to see her. They have been getting on so great and id hate to get in the way of Layla having a relationship with the closest thing she has to a grandma. *tears up, thinking about how crushed Layla was when she lost her grandma debs*

Brittany: *wipes the tears from Santana's eyes* thats very sweet of you to wanna do that for Layla. But you know that Layla will understand how you're feelings and she wont invite your mum until you give her confirmation, ok? *lightly draws circles on the back of the brunettes hand, to calm her down*

Santana: *couldn't help but feel a little less tense with Brittany's comforting words and touch. But she is still a little anxious to confront the teen about whether she is wanting Santana's mum to be there tonight or not*

Brittany: *sat in silence for a bit just letting san completely relax* cuddle? *was desperate to embrace her girlfriend to be sure that nothing else is bothering the brunette*

*without another word, Santana gets up and straddles the blonde. They both get comfortable, sharing a few light and tender kisses now that they have talked things through*

Santana: ...i really wish i could just let my mum see the little in me already! ...Im so tired of hiding such a big part of my life from her.*sighs as she lays her head on Brittany's chest, burying herself into the blondes warm embrace*

Brittany: *kisses sans head and continues to rub her back to comfort her* don't beat yourself up about it baby! You have been through a lot in recent years. Im sure your mum will completely understand once you start opening up about everything. Whether you decide to do that tonight or years from now. *smiles sweetly at san, seeing the brunette relax in her arms* you're mum loves you and I'm 100 percent positive that she will love your little side just as much as she loves big you. *cups sans cheek, lightly rubbing her thumb across it, making the brunette's eyes flutter closed*

Santana: *looks into Brittany's eyes, getting lost in their little bubble for a while* damn you and your soft hands. You make me wanna curl up in your arms and sleep right here... And im not even in my little headspace!*chuckles as does Brittany*

Brittany: *leans down to give san a kiss* as much as id love to take a nap with you right now, i need my little helper to get this boring paperwork finished so we can get out of here early to go get Layla. *lightly pats sans leg, encouraging her to get up*

Santana: ...hmph! *wraps her arms round Brittany, burying her head into the blonde more, not wanting to move*

Brittany: *chuckles at san's dramatics* come on cutie! I promise to give you extra cuddles as soon as we are done. *smiles, hoping this will encourage the brunette to get things done quicker*

Santana: fine then... *sighs as she reluctantly gets off Brittany's lap and goes to sit at her desk, a few feet from Brittany's*

*Brittany smiles proudly seeing san actually getting straight back to work. After an hour or so, Brittany is surprised to see san with a stack of finished paperwork in her hands as she makes her way over to the blondes desk*

Santana: ...and done! *smiles proudly as she places the stack of paper on Brittany's desk* I'm gonna go chill with the littles. *smiles as she leans over Brittany's desk, waiting for the blonde to give her a kiss*

Brittany: *kisses san* thanks baby! Have fun! *smile as san happily makes her way out brittany's office towards the play room*

*in the playroom! Soon as Santana stepped foot into the room
She was instantly tackled in a group hug by a few of the regular littles she knows*
