Aunty Tana & Aunt Britt (Brittana/Beth/Quick)

"Don't be fooled by the blonde hair." Quinn warned her friends. "She's a Puckerman."

"She's a good kid." Puck said, handing Santana Beth's bags. "Anything she could possibly need is in one of these bags. We won't be gone that long, but if she needs us-"

"We got her." Santana promised, looking at Brittany.

"Yeah." Puck nodded. He looked at Quinn, who was still holding Beth. "Monkeyface, Aunty Tana and Aunt Britt are gonna play with you while Mommy and Daddy take care of a few things, okay?"

Beth looked at Puck and nodded back. "Okay."

"I love you." Puck said, kissing Beth's cheek.

"Best behavior, B." Quinn added. "I love you."

"Wuv yew." Beth's little voice said as Quinn kissed her cheek and put her down.

Santana and Brittany were sitting on the living room floor, surrounded by stuffed animals and toys, trying to figure out how to entertain a toddler who had already decided that napping was not part of the agenda.

Beth sat in front of them with a toy phone in her hand, babbling away.

"Brittany, I think we're in over our heads." Santana muttered, glancing at the tiny blonde who was now shoving a plastic carrot into a plush bunny's mouth.

Brittany, who had been silently studying Beth, smiled. "We just need to think like her."

Santana raised her eyebrows.

"I think..." Brittany stated. "She wants to talk to the bunny. You know, like, you talk to the bunny and-"

Before Brittany could finish her thought, Beth let out a loud squeal of excitement, leaping up and walking toward the TV stand, where a bright, glittery toy caught her attention.

"Okay, so she's definitely not into sitting still when having a conversation." Santana observed dryly. "You do the whole bunny thing, I'll go figure out what she wants with the sparkly thing."

Brittany gave Santana a thumbs up, completely on board with her plan. She picked up the plush bunny and started speaking to it. "Hello, Bunny! Do you want to go on an adventure with us?"

Beth heard Brittany's bunny voice and turned around, her face lighting up. She giggled and stumbled over to Brittany, tugging on her shirt.

Brittany raised the bunny to Beth's level. "Hi, Beth! I'm Brittany, the bunny! Do you wanna join me on an adventure?"

Beth grinned, her small hand reaching out to grab the bunny's floppy ears.

"Bunny!" Beth exclaimed, pointing at it.

Meanwhile, Santana was seated in front of the TV, carefully inspecting the sparkly object Beth had been eyeing. It was a glittery, light-up ball. Santana squeezed it, and it started to glow, casting colorful flashes around the room. She smirked as she looked over at Brittany and Beth.

"This is gonna be fun." Santana muttered before handing the ball to Beth, who clapped her hands in delight.

"Ball!" Beth yelled, holding it up high as if she had just discovered the greatest treasure of all time. She dropped it with a giggle, watching it roll away, beginning her chase.

"Here we go." Santana said with a grin. "She's like a mini Puck."

Brittany, still holding the bunny, laughed and nodded. "Except she's way cuter than Puck."

Santana nodded in agreement. "Definitely."

The girls watched Beth drop to her hands and knees, her tiny feet moving in clumsy but determined steps. The ball was rolling faster than she could follow, and soon she was on her belly, trying to crawl faster, grinning as she made her way toward it.

"She's smart like Quinn though." Brittany noted.

"Thank god." Santana said.

Beth reached the ball and grabbed it before clumsily standing up, her tiny, chubby fingers dropping it again.

Santana and Brittany exchanged a look, silently agreeing that it was probably the perfect time to take a break from the chaos.

"Do you wanna have a snack?" Brittany asked Beth, who dropped to the floor again for the ball.

"Puck said they packed snacks in here." Santana said, grabbing one of the bags. "But we need to figure out how to get her to settle down first."

"Maybe if we wear her out?" Brittany suggested. "Like, a race! Let's race after the ball, Beth!"

"She's not a dog, Britt." Santana shook her head, watching in amusement as Brittany started running around.

Beth looked at Brittany in confusion for a moment, then shrieked as she began running from her.

"I think you're scaring her." Santana warned Brittany.

"Am I scaring you, Beth?" Brittany wondered, turning around and grabbing the blonde as she tickled her sides.

Beth giggled happily and yelled excitedly. She reached her arms out towards Santana. "Tana!"

"I'll help you!" Santana joined in, pulling Beth into her arms and 'saving' her from Brittany.

Santana and Brittany continued their game with Beth. They took turns being the tickle monster and saving Beth from the tickle monster.

The game died down as Beth's laughter faded.

Santana and Brittany released Beth, who stood up and looked at them.

"Snack?"

"Yeah, you can have a snack now." Santana said, scooping Beth onto the couch. "Sit with BrittBritt while I get it for you."

Brittany sat beside Beth while Santana got Beth's snack.

"Here you go." Santana smiled before joining the girls on the couch.

Beth helped herself to the crackers Quinn and Puck had packed, even offering some to Santana and Brittany.

Her eyelids grew heavy and she began blinking slowly.

"Good, she's gonna nap." Santana commented. "Get the bunny."

Brittany grabbed the plush bunny, swapping it with the cracker in Beth's hand as Santana gently laid her down.

Beth curled up in a ball on the couch while Santana and Brittany covered her with a blanket and cleaned up the food as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Santana exchanged a look with Brittany, both of them silently agreeing that they'd never had so much fun babysitting before.

They sat down on the floor, not wanting to wake Beth up, and listened to the sound of the toddler's quiet breathing. It was peaceful. For now.

"How do Puck and Quinn do this every day?"
