Brittana: cannon

Chapter 24: I lived

Fall 2020

Just like with Mac, they had decided on a donor they liked fairly quickly. They found a tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed veterinarian who was a former gymnast. When they came across his profile, they knew they had found the perfect donor for their next baby. And Santana got pregnant on the first try, much to their surprise.

They didn't expect Santana's pregnancy to be the same as Brittany's, but both were surprised that she got pregnant so quickly. She definitely had some more intense pregnancy symptoms than her wife had, but they hadn't believed she was truly pregnant until they saw the positive test. Santana so far was more emotional and tended to tear up at seemingly small things. Brittany could calm her down fairly easily, however. At least for now.

The one thing Santana was not happy about was that she seemed to suffer from worse morning sickness than Brittany had. She would vomit intensely several times an hour for a few hours in the morning, but then she would be fine, thankfully. Brittany was so good about taking care of her, though, and would always be right there to hold her hair back or get her some water and help hold her as she walked since she was always a little unsteady after emptying her stomach.

Santana never expected the blonde to be so attentive, especially since they had already gone through one pregnancy. But her wife was even more protective of her and their unborn child than Santana had been when Brittany was pregnant.

Santana and Brittany got a call from Sue's people a couple of weeks after they found out Santana was pregnant. Apparently they were dedicating the McKinley High auditorium to Finn, and Sue was trying to get everyone who played a part in the New Directions' story back to Lima next month in order to be a part of the ceremony. Santana still couldn't believe that Sue had made such a huge turnaround from her previous stance against the glee club and performance arts and was now taking the time to honor it.

Both women really wanted to go for the celebration, but Brittany was hesitant about Santana travelling and being around all of their old friends. Since she was still so early on in her pregnancy, they didn't want to start telling anyone in case there were complications. And as concerned as her wife was with everything pertaining to Santana's pregnancy, she knew Brittany would probably be giving off some big hints about their situation. Brittany knew that as well, which was a big reason why she had argued against the trip. Santana put her foot down, however, and so they flew out to Lima with their son to visit their families and old friends.

They had arrived in the auditorium a little late since Brittany hadn't wanted to drive fast enough to even hit the speed limit. They knew the performance had already started, but it didn't matter. They walked in and saw their glee family from the top of the stairs. Santana felt her heart lift with the sound of the voices in the auditorium, bringing back so many happy memories. The beautiful woman beside her only made her happier, and as they joined their voices to the group and walked down toward the stage she knew her wife was feeling the same things she was.

It was so great seeing everyone together again like that. Yes, she saw a lot of them on a regular basis since she lived in the same city as them or even worked with them, but they hadn't gotten together like this for a big group performance since high school. It was a great reunion and celebration of everything the New Directions was about, and it was a fitting dedication to Finn.

After the performance, they had all visited for awhile in the auditorium. Finally, someone had suggested they move the party to Breadstix to get some food and catch up some more. Most of the glee clubbers ended up heading over to the restaurant. Blaine and Kurt were showing everyone pictures of their daughter. Rachel had given birth to her a couple of months ago, and Santana had to admit that she was an adorable baby.
