AT RACHEL AND QUINN'S HOME

Santana's POV:

"So he is still knocked out from the baby shower earlier, but if I can wake him up if you want." I say returning to the couch after leaving Quentin's room.

"No, no. Let him sleep. I think I need to process everything for a second anyway." She says sitting on the other couch shaking her head.

"If you don't mind, I would like to ask some more questions about him." She says leaning back on the couch.

"Not at all, ask away?"

"What's his name?" She ask calmly.

"Bryson Ziare Pierce, but we call him Bryce for short."

"He has my last name?" She says as her eyes start to get watery.

"Yeah, I figured he should have your last name, also I wanted to make his first name somewhat similar to yours." I say

"Um, How old is he?"

"3." I simply say.

"When was he born?"

"December 3rd" I say.

"Brittany I hate to have to ask you this, but I just need to be sure." I say as she look up at me.

"What is it?" She ask.

"Before you meet Bryce, I just want to know... Do you plan on being around?" I ask as she looks at me slightly offended.

"Are you kidding me?" She ask as she stands from the couch.

"I know it's my fault that you and Bryce were not in each other's life but I... I don't want him to get excited about meeting you and then you disappear on him because being a parent became too much. It's a lot and if you're not ready for that, I understand." I say trying to be as gentle as possible.

"Are you kidding me?! You really have the audacity to sit here and say that I might disappear on him. I would've been here had you given me the chance to be." She says as she shouts a little, causing Quinn and Rachel to come into the living room.

"What's going on?" Rachel ask.

"Nothing. Santana here, just decided to ask me if I'm going to walk out on Bryce." She says pacing back and forth.

"I'm not trying to offend you Britt, in any way. If you're all in on being in his life, I am here to help you anyway I can. But if you're not, I just don't want Bryce hurt over not having you after he has met you, ya know. I dont want him to think that your gonna be around if your not. Because then I'm stuck answering 101 questions from a heartbroken 3 year old about your where you're at. I just want to make sure, for Bryce's sake, that you're here for the long haul with him." I say calmly hoping it will calm her down.

With all the commotion going on in the living room, no one spotted little Bryce at Quentin's door looking at everyone in the living room. All the yelling had woke him out of his sleep.

"MAMA!!!!" He shouted as he ran over to a pacing Britt and threw himself into her legs.

Brittany's POV:

I look down to see a smiling Bryce wrapped around my legs as he looks up at me. I look over at Santana who looks like she is about to cry.
