Sam's Step Sister

Chapter 9

Santana's POV:

I sit and watch while Brittany sleeps. She woke up 3 days ago, and like Quinn said she hasn't had any other symptoms, apart from headaches and feeling fatigue she's ultimately fine, and the occasional vomiting but that's normal for someone who has just been in a coma.

Sam and Oliver decided it would be best if we would alternate days of which we see Brittany, Sam was still being arrogant in the fact that I cheated on him. However Brittany had been talking to him a lot, he seems to be more loose but not by much. When we ran into each other when I was entering the hospital and he was leaving, he gave me a small smile, if that's not progress then I don't know what is.

I grip Brittany's hand tighter in mine and kiss her knuckles softly, I don't know if I do it for her comfort or mine, I wouldn't even know where to begin to explain how I was feeling when I found out that Brittany- my Brittany was in the hospital, and then on top of that, finding out she was in a coma. In some sense I'm relieved that I didn't find out sooner. I don't know how I would've coped seeing her lying in a bed unmoving for a week, wondering when she was going to wake up. It was luck that she woke up just when I got there. I look at Brittany intensely and study her features. The way her eyebrows are slightly raised, the hair cascading over her face, how her lips are curving into a shy smile-wait can you do that in your sleep?

"Santana I can feel your stare in my sleep" She fluttered her eyes open and sat up slowly.

"I'm sorry" I replied sheepishly, ducking my head and putting a strand of hair behind her ear.

"It's cute, don't apologise, I would be doing the same thing" She paused "Although I would prefer you not to as I look like I haven't showered in years" She laughed. I shook my head and pulled her into a searing kiss.

"You're beautiful" I told her sincerely "Plus you showered last night" I shrugged.

"I love you" She whispered against my lips.

"I love you" I whispered back as she pulled me against her.

After a few minutes I ended up straddling Brittany, it was getting heated pretty quickly and I wished so bad that we weren't in the hospital where someone could walk in any moment. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer, I had my elbows leaning by her head on the pillows. She slipped her tongue into my mouth which made me moan. I started playing with a strand of her delicate blonde hair mindlessly, the kiss was getting more intense but neither of us wanted to stop.

We heard someone clear their throat and the door click signalling someone closed it. Brittany bit my lip in shock, I jumped up quickly while groaning from the lip bite, I slipped off the bed and landed on the floor next to Brittany's bed.

"I brought lunch" Shannon held up some bags with raised eyebrows.

"Uh, Hi, Mrs Pierce" I stuttered embarrassed.

"Thanks Mom" Brittany took a bag from her mother. Her face was bright red.

"Ill make sure to knock in the future, whether it be here or at home" Shannon said with a growing smirk which only made me and Brittany grow a deeper shade of red "The doctor just informed me that you can go home tomorrow morning. Isn't that great?" Shannon said enthusiastically.

"Do I have to still take the medication?" Brittany asked with a grimace. She hated swallowing the pills.

"Just the ones for your headaches" Shannon smiled sympathetically at her daughter.

We sat in an uncomfortable silence eating the food Shannon brought for us. It was great that Shannon was okay with Brit and I being together, but I still didn't know what I could and couldn't do with her around. Brittany was unsure too so she kept her distance when everyone was around. Shannon kept looking at the both of us which was making everything even more uncomfortable, Brittany and I looked at each other with furrowed eyebrows.

"Girls, I have been meaning to have an actual conversation about your relationship" She wiped her hands on her jeans and clasped them together in her lap. Almost simultaneously Brit and I put our sandwiches' down.

"What did you want to talk about?" Brittany asked cautiously not knowing where this conversation was going.

"Well as you know I am fine with this" She motioned to both of us "You don't need to be worried and anxious about acting as a couple together" She paused "We want you to feel comfortable, we as in myself and Oliver. What I'm trying to say is that you can be near each other" She chuckled lightly.

"Thank you Mom" Brittany said "I guess we were both just nervous still" I nodded in agreement.

"I mean Santana must make you happy. When you were with Puck you were never this happy" I tensed at the sound of his name and automatically my feet took me towards Brittany's bed.

"Thank you for understanding Mom" Brittany said smiling gratefully at her Mom, I could see the strain behind the smile though.

"I'm going to take all this stuff out to the trash" Shannon picked up all of our rubbish. She made her way over to where Brittany and I were and bent down to kiss Brittany on the forehead, before she said she would be back in a minute.

"Are you okay?" I asked pushing a piece of hair out of her face.

"Yeah, just haven't heard that name in a while" She shrugged "I am so glad my Mom is okay with everything. I was so worried on how she would eventually take it" She breathed a sigh of relief "Have you got round to telling your parents or?" She trailed off.

"Not yet, I don't know how they'll take it, I know they aren't homophobes but I'm still worried for their reaction" She nodded in understanding. She pulled me to sit on the bed with her. After we got comfortable I kissed her neck where it connected with her jaw. I laid my head back on her chest and wrapped my arms around her. She kissed my forehead and adjusted so she was laying down more and laced our fingers together.

This time when Brittany's mother walked in we didn't jump or get startled. We just stayed the same, Shannon didn't even say anything or make a shocked facial expression. The three of us talked effortlessly until eventually Brittany fell asleep due to the faintness she felt.

Shannon told me to get myself home due to the fact that I had been here all day and I need some rest myself, I declined at first, wanting to stay with Brittany and her tight hold around me but I eventually left figuring I did need to shower.
