Saved Up Wishes - Part 1
“Only 1…. What does he mean only 1 left? Brittany you’ve already used 2 wishes?” Santana said concerned “what else have you wished for? And it better not involve me!”
Brittany smiled but Santana knew it was her ‘I did something wrong, but if I smile sweetly you’ll be distracted’ smile
“Oh Brit” Santana sighed covering her face with exasperation. She walked over to the bed and collapsed onto it “What did you wish for?”
“It’s nothing bad”
“It better not be, you’ve already got me pregnant…..”
“I was careful…”
Santana laughed “If you were a guy I would point out the pregnancy thing again” she laughed again, Brittany smiled but still looked a little worried about how Santana might react.
“What do you mean you were careful? Careful with what?” Santana got up and shook her head “actually, I think you should start from the beginning, where did you get the genie from?
“I got him when we went shopping in town a couple of weeks ago, in the cat protection charity shop” Brittany explained
“I don’t remember going in there”
“You didn’t, you refused” Brittany said sadly “So I went in and you went to the shoe shop next door”
Santana thought about it “Oh yeah, I bought those red high heels”
“Yeah, you look hot in them” Brittany smiled sweetly at Santana “if you wore them with that tight red dress..”
“Nah ah, No changing the subject…. Or looking at me like that” She said wagging her finger at Brittany “back to the story”
“Okay, well I thought it was pretty” Brittany said looking at the tea pot “It’s bright and spotty…”
“Yeah, under the thick layer of dirt”
“Yeah, so I tried to clean it and when I did Mot came out”
--
As the orange smoke slowly started coming out of the spout Brittany wondered if she’d rubbed the dirt so much it was giving off fumes, when there was a loud pop and a shirtless man appeared in the smoke she knew she was probably right.
“I am the genie of the lamp and I grant you 3 wishes” he said in a bellowing voice
“Lamp?” Brittany said confused “What lamp?”
He turned and pointed “That’s a lam-.… oh!”
“That’s a tea pot” Brittany said
“hmm, So it is” he sounded surprised and raised his hand to his mouth in thought. Brittany stood and watched him.
“Oh, I remember, I swapped in the 60’s, that lamp was just so old fashioned and hippies kept trying to burn incense in it. Incense makes me sneeze”
Brittany nodded “I like the tea pot” she said sincerely
He turned and smiled at her “Thank you, so do I”
“I didn’t know genies could swap where they lived”
“We can, just like hermit crabs”
“oh”
He looked Brittany up and down “So, what decade is it?”
“It’s the……..” Brittany didn’t know how to answer, what was this decade called? Had anyone figured it out yet? The ones? The teenies? “erm….2011”
“THE 2011?” he laughed “okay…. Well, I’m Mot and I’ll be your genie for the day..” he leaned in and whispered “or until you use up all your wishes” He smiled “Also, ground rules; there is no wishing for extra wishes, if you try this I can take away all of your other wishes with no warning, okay? So apart from that you can wish for whatever takes your fancy”
“anything?”
“yup, anything you fancy”
“I fancy Santana” Brittany said dreamily
“Santana? What’s that a drink?”
Brittany laughed “No, Santana’s my girlfriend”
“oh, A girlfriend eh? Is she pretty?” he smiled leaning in with interest
“she’s beautiful” Brittany’s mind wandered for a moment “.….Do I have to wish now?”
“No, whenever you like, just give the tea pot a rub and I’ll appear” Mot said waving his arms in the air and smiling. “so tell me about your beautiful girlfriend”
--
Santana waved her hand in front of Brittany’s face, she’d been watching her on and off for a few minutes and she’d given no indication she was watching Finn attempt to dance on stage. Brittany finally blinked and turned to look at her girlfriend sitting next to her and smiled “Hi”
“Where were you?” Santana asked
“I was here, I haven’t moved” Brittany reached out her hand and placed it on top Santana’s which were on her lap. Santana unconsciously took Brittany’s hand in hers.
“I meant in your head, you haven’t been watching frankenteen murder every single dance move he’s tried”
Before Brittany could answer all the lights in the auditorium went up and the group all applauded Finn on stage. Santana quickly shrugged Brittany’s hand out of her lap, but didn’t clap with everyone else. Brittany hated it when she did things like that, no-one would have seen their hands.
“Ok, thanks Finn that was great. Well that’s it for today and remember I want you all to have a rap ready for next time” Mr Schue shouted from the stage as everyone got up to leave.
As they left the auditorium Santana and Brittany went in different directions to different classes. Brittany spotted Sam in front of her and walked quickly to catch up with him. He turned to look at her as she walked next to him.
“Can I ask you a question?” Brittany asked
“Erm… sure, I suppose” Sam answered unsure what was coming
“If you were given 3 wishes what would you do with them?” Brittany asked seriously
He thought for a minute “I think I’d wish for something that wouldn’t happen in real life, something that I wouldn’t be able to do without the wish” he looked away dreamily, then snapped back to reality “but I’d have to be careful…..”
“Careful? Why?” Brittany interrupted
“If the genie is nice then maybe you’d be okay, but if he’s a horrible genie he could rip you off”
Brittany looked blank
“You would have to word the wish properly so there was no room for misinterpretation” Sam tried to clarify, Brittany still looked blank
“Okay so, if I wished I owned a boat, the genie could just give me a wooden toy, because I didn’t specify that I wanted a real boat”
Brittany thought for a moment “He doesn’t seem mean….. maybe I’ll ask, thanks Sam” Brittany smiled and walked away.
For the rest of the next class Brittany thought about what she would wish for, something that she would never get without the wish. She figured her parents wouldn’t appreciate a unicorn in the back garden eating all the plants though. It took all lesson but she came up with a couple of things and smiled to herself, if she could get this right, it would be awesome.
Walking out of the class to her locker she passed Ms Pillsbury sitting in her office. Brittany thought she might be able to help her with the fine detail of her wishes so she quickly turned around and walking into the office without knocking and sat down.
“Oh, Hello Brittany. What can I do for you?” Emma said looking up from her work and folding her arms on her desk.
“There are a couple of things I was wondering about……”
“Okay” Emma said to get Brittany to continue
After at least a minute of Brittany sitting biting her lower lip and thinking, Emma added “you can ask me anything”
Brittany looked up at this, waited and then asked “If you could, would you change yourself?”
Emma was a little taken aback by this “oh, erm…well…w-why would you want to change yourself?”
“Because…… I know I can get distracted by things and don’t pay attention sometimes and i maybe get the wrong end of the stick sometimes too and people call me names and I don’t know as much as everyone else, and people get annoyed with me, if I changed…” she took a breath “but…I kinda like being me. Everyone seems to worry so much about things that don’t really need to be worried about and…. “
“Brittany” Emma interrupted quietly “you shouldn’t change who you are to please other people. If you are happy with who you are then that can be all that matters..”
“Well, what if you knew that there was something someone you loved didn’t like about themselves and it was hard for them to change? Would you want to change it for them?”
“If that person is having trouble dealing with something then you can always try to help them, it might not be instantaneous but with help, over time, maybe they will be able to deal with the problem” Emma suggested
Brittany grinned and nodded her head enthusiastically.
“Okay? I hope that helps you” Emma smiled and looked down at her paperwork again
“One more thing” Brittany said “How are babies made?”
--
Sam looked to see who had just sat down next to him. He was surprised to see Brittany for the second time that day.
“Hey Brittany”
“Hi Sam, can I ask you a question?”
Sam smiled to himself, he had no idea what was going on with her today. He nodded “Of course”
“How are babies made?” Brittany asked seriously
Sam frowned in confusion. “W-What?”
“I asked Ms Pillsbury, but she went red and started coughing and tripping over her words, so I thought I’d ask you” Brittany smiled
“I’m not sure I’m the right person…..”
“But you like science and stuff, I just want to make sure I get my wish right”
Sam looked confused and shook his head “I like science fiction, it’s not the same thing….”
“Oh” Brittany thought for a second “but, you can still help, right?….. I have to make sure I get the right thing”
Sam hadn’t really spoken to Brittany much before today and he’d been told she was a bit…. Strange, but this? He shifted in his seat “So your wish involves making babies?”
“Yeah, I want Santana to have my baby”
Sam’s eyes widened and he laughed slightly, he had absolutely no idea she was serious, so he humoured her.
It took Sam at least an hour to explain DNA, well actually it took him most of that time explaining that DNA was not PDA, DNR, RSI or a hundred other abbreviations Brittany kept getting confused with, but in the end they managed to come up with a wish that was, hopefully, fool proof.

Mot popped out of the tea pot and stopped in front of Brittany
“Well hello there, pretty lady” he said happily
“Hi, Mot, I think I’m ready” Brittany announced looking down at the piece of paper in her hand.
“Ready?.... oh! Okay hang on let me get my work clothes on” He suddenly disappeared down the trail of smoke back into the teapot, then reappeared just as quickly with a strange hat on “Okay, Fire away, my dear”
“First….” She looked at the piece of paper with her wishes on again. “Wait can I explain the wish first so that you don’t rip me off?” Brittany asked nervously
“Rip you off?.....” he shook his head “those bad genies give us all a bad name. Brittany not all of us are bad, I want people to get what they wish for, I wouldn’t rip you off, I promise”
“Okay, so number one…. I want Santana to have my baby…. Properly MY baby …“ she looked down at the piece of paper “with her and my DNA and everything…” she looked at Mot
“That’s okay, but you have to say it correctly or it doesn’t count” he smiled
Brittany looked at her notes again and read from them “I wish that after me and Santana make love to each other, she will get pregnant with my baby…. With my and her DNA…..” she looked up at Mot with a little trepidation. “Is that okay?”
“Sounds good to me” He said and then clicked his fingers. He then looked at Brittany expectantly and Brittany just looked back at him. They looked at each other is silence for a while.
“Have you done it?” Brittany asked
“Yup”
“Was that it? You clicking your fingers and it’s done?”
“Yup” Mot smiled
“Oh!.... I was expecting something…… fancy”
“I gave up on the over the top stuff centuries ago, it can get exhausting and people didn’t appreciate it”
“Oh” Brittany looked sad “Do you want to hear my other wish? Yeah? Okay, wish number two is about Santana……. I wish that Santana accepts she is gay, so that we can be together, but that she does it gradually…”
--
“You… YOU DID WHAT?” Santana shouted. “Why would you do that? Why would you even think that was a good idea?” she shook her head in disbelief. Brittany cowered away a little. Santana was pretty scary when she was mad.
“Don’t be mad” Brittany said quietly
“MAD?! I’m beyond mad! Brittany you can’t just go around changing people” she shouted, shook her head again and walked to the other side of the room.
Brittany got up off the bed and walked over to her, she reached out to place her hand on her shoulder, but Santana turned around before she could and pushed her arm away. “DON’T! I can. not believe you did this Brittany”
“But I was only trying to help, Please don’t be angry”
“Did you even think about what you were doing?”
“Of course I did”
Santana looked so angry “and you still did it” again she shook her head
“Please don’t be angry, please” Brittany was really starting to worry that she’d ruined everything. Her eyes started to fill with tears. Santana didn’t notice, she had too many things racing around her head. “I thought it would help…”
“I.. I can’t do this…” Santana started moving towards the door, but Brittany was quicker and slammed it shut and leaned against it blocking Santana’s way.
“Get out the way, Brit” Santana said standing in front of her. Brittany shook her head silently
“GET OUT OF THE WAY” Santana shouted, now her eyes filled with tears.
“No” Brittany stood taller trying to be brave in front of her scary friend
“Open the door” Santana pulled on Brittany’s arm to try and pull her out of the way.
“I won’t”
“Brittany….” Santana’s head fell
“I was only trying to help Santana, please, please don’t be mad at me, please” Brittany started crying
“You can’t just…..do that…” Santana also began to cry.
“I’m sorry”
Brittany moved away from the door and put her arms around Santana, enveloping her in a hug. Santana stood rigid trying to be strong in her anger, but the more Brittany held on to her the harder it was. After another tight squeeze from Brittany Santana pushed her head into Brittany’s chest and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend crying.
--
She didn’t remember how she got there or how long she’d been there, but Santana woke up on Brittany’s bed with the blonde laying asleep next to her, her arm lying across Santana’s body.
She laid there looking up at the ceiling; she still couldn’t believe Brittany had wished what she had. But in the quiet of the room she thought more clearly. She always thought clearer laying like this with Brittany. She’d lost count of the nights she had laid there and thought how easy it would be just to walk in to school holding Brittany’s hand, kissing her at her locker when they left for different classes, singing a love song to her in Glee, asking her to prom, but when the day comes and school starts she finds the fear too much and doesn’t reach for Brittany’s hand.
Maybe Brittany had done her a favour in getting rid of that fear and that doubt.
She thought back and remembered two days ago in the canteen. She had forgotten her maths book and had to go to her locker to get it. As she left she had kissed Brittany, just a quick kiss, but she remembered a second of fear creep in and then vanish, she didn’t care who saw. Just this afternoon she had confessed to sleeping with Brittany in front of the whole glee club and she hadn’t even cared, in fact it hadn’t even crossed her mind to worry about it…… perhaps this wasn’t so bad.
She lightly moved Brittany’s arm from where it was and swung her legs over the side of the bed. The more she thought about it the more incidents she remembered and not cared about. She hadn’t worried about holding Brittany’s hand or kissing her for weeks and she hadn’t even realised it.
She felt the mattress behind her sink and felt Brittany’s knees either side of her and Brittany’s breath on her neck.
“Please don’t be mad at me San, I thought you’d be pleased, I know how much you hated not holding my hand or singing to me because of what everyone would think.…… I just wanted to make you happier” Brittany said quietly “I’ll take it back” she said placing her arms around Santana’s waist and placing her palms flat on her stomach “I’ll use my last wish and I’ll take it all back”
Santana put her hands over Brittany’s on her stomach and realised what Brittany meant, take back the baby? “NO” she hadn’t meant to say it so loud. She turned to face Brittany “No, don’t. I’m sorry I shouted at you, I WAS angry. But you have to understand….. you can’t just do something like that, change how someone thinks and not tell them and not expect them to be mad” she looked into Brittany’s eyes. Brittany nodded looking sad. “But…. I don’t want you to take the baby back, it’s ours, if you take it back….. we can never have this again… there is no way we could have a baby together, not that is properly ours, mine AND yours”

“I don’t remember going in there”

“Okay, well I thought it was pretty” Brittany said looking at the tea pot “It’s bright and spotty…”
“Yeah, under the thick layer of dirt”
“Yeah, so I tried to clean it and when I did Mot came out”

As the orange smoke slowly started coming out of the spout Brittany wondered if she’d rubbed the dirt so much it was giving off fumes, when there was a loud pop and a shirtless man appeared in the smoke she knew she was probably right.
“I am the genie of the lamp and I grant you 3 wishes” he said in a bellowing voice
“Lamp?” Brittany said confused “What lamp?”
He turned and pointed “That’s a lam-.… oh!”
“That’s a tea pot” Brittany said
“hmm, So it is” he sounded surprised and raised his hand to his mouth in thought. Brittany stood and watched him.

“I didn’t know genies could swap where they lived”
“We can, just like hermit crabs”
“oh”

“It’s the……..” Brittany didn’t know how to answer, what was this decade called? Had anyone figured it out yet? The ones? The teenies? “erm….2011”
“THE 2011?” he laughed “okay….

She lightly moved Brittany’s arm from where it was and swung her legs over the side of the bed. The more she thought about it the more incidents she remembered and not cared about. She hadn’t worried about holding Brittany’s hand or kissing her for weeks and she hadn’t even realised it.
She felt the mattress behind her sink and felt Brittany’s knees either side of her and Brittany’s breath on her neck.
“Please don’t be mad at me San, I thought you’d be pleased, I know how much you hated not holding my hand or singing to me because of what everyone would think.…… I just wanted to make you happier” Brittany said quietly “I’ll take it back” she said placing her arms around Santana’s waist and placing her palms flat on her stomach “I’ll use my last wish and I’ll take it all back”
Santana put her hands over Brittany’s on her stomach and realised what Brittany meant, take back the baby? “NO” she hadn’t meant to say it so loud. She turned to face Brittany “No, don’t. I’m sorry I shouted at you, I WAS angry. But you have to understand….. you can’t just do something like that, change how someone thinks and not tell them and not expect them to be mad” she looked into Brittany’s eyes. Brittany nodded looking sad. “But…. I don’t want you to take the baby back, it’s ours, if you take it back….. we can never have this again… there is no way we could have a baby together, not that is properly ours, mine AND yours”
