[Riley was miserable. This pregnancy has been rough on her and she still has a long way to go. Or at least it feels that way. But right now, to her, a day is a long time away. Though, just because she's pregnant, doesn't mean she doesn't still have plenty of errands to still run. Which is what she's been doing pretty much all day long and now her entire body is aching and all she wants to do is soak in her ridiculously amazing tub and take a nap. But, as she unlocks the door and lays her keys and the bags on the kitchen counter, Riley wonders if laying down might be better. Just to rest for a little while before the bath. Climbing the stairs, slowly, she practically waddles down the hall to their bedroom, pushing the door open...]
[Santana had taken off work early to go home to Riley. With the pregnancy and all the household things, along with the occasional assignment she'd done, Santana knew she was having a miserable time of it lately. So, being the awesome wife she is, she's come home early with a plan in mind. She's going to spend the rest of the night and the entire weekend pampering Riley, waiting on her hand and foot and treating her like a Queen. So, when Riley steps into the master bedroom, she'll see that the only illumination in the room are the dozens of candles she's placed and lit all over. Their sheets are turned down and Santana us sitting on the end, waiting for her. She gets up to hug and kiss her.] Hi beautiful.
[Eyes going wide as she took in the scene waiting for her as she stepped into the bedroom, Riley gasped and stopped dead in her tracks. She looked around, tears filling her eyes (hey she's hormonal!) as they finally settled back onto her wife as she hugged and kissed her.] Hi. [She smiled softly.] What is all this?
This...is all for you, baby. [Santana murmurs, kissing her again. This was exactly the reaction she was hoping for, minus the tears. She chuckles and reaches out to wipe a fallen tear from Riley's cheek.] I'm gonna spend alllll weekend pampering you. Starting with a massage, if you want it.
If I want it? [Riley's going to arch her brow and give that look that says you should definitely know she wants a massage. She's only what, five million weeks pregnant now? Or at least that's what it feels like!] You know I do. I just...I wasn't expecting it. But it's definitely a good surprise. [Have a kiss from your overly hormonal and emotional wife.]
[Santana grins and returns the kiss passionately, stroking Riley's cheek with her thumb, and gently breaking away after a few minutes.] Your back first?
[Pulling back from the kiss, she nods, eyes still glistening from her tears and a smile at her lips. She can't help it, even the small gesture of a massage means the world to her right now.] That sounds perfect.
Lay down, babe. [Santana guides her to the bed and helps her get undressed and into a comfortable position - not the easiest thing to do when she's 7 months pregnant.] Close your eyes, baby, and just relax. Do you want me to put music on?
[Riley does as she's told, and does her best to get as comfortable as someone her size can get. She closes her eyes, settling into the tons of pillows Santana has piled both under and around her for comfort.] Mmmm. You can put something on if you want. Unless you wanna sing to me.
[Santana grins and picks up the massage oil, kissing Riley's neck before getting to work, starting at Riley's shoulders to work her way down.] You know I'll sing for you. What do you want to hear?
Mmmm. That feels so good. [It did too. Riley could feel the tension starting to slip away as Santana's hands worked her muscles.] You know what I want to hear. The same one I always make you sing for me.
[Santana didn't like to brag (so not true), but she did have very talented hands. She'd worked as a masseuse through med school, so she most definitely knew what she was doing. She could feel all the tense spots in Riley's back and worked them gently, pressing only hard enough to get them to release. Her poor little wife, all strained and tensed up from carrying their baby. It would be worth it in the end though, and she knew Riley completely agreed. They'd worked so hard for this.
Of course she'd know what Riley would choose, so as soon as she'd confirmed that was what she wanted, Santana started singing softly.]
[A soft smile spread slowly across Riley's face as she laid there, enjoying the massage she was getting and Santana's beautiful voice as she sang to her. She'd known the song, of course, it was the one Riley always loved her to sing. Ever since she'd sang it to her that very first time so many years ago. It was still just as magical as that first time and she wondered if their son would love it as much as she did, because she had no doubt Santana would be singing to him too. Just like she would as well.] I love you. [The words, though said countless times over the course of their relationship, carried so much weight, Riley's voice cracking with all the emotion she felt in that moment.]
[Hearing Riley's voice crack made Santana slowly come to a stop before slipping onto the bed beside her wife, kissing her softly and just gazing into those beautiful blue eyes for a few long moments before whispering:] I love you too. I'm sorry you're so drained.
It's okay. [She whispered, her eyes not leaving those chocolate brown ones she loves gazing into so much. Reaching out, she traces her fingertip over Santana's cheek gently.] It's completely worth it. Well, it will be, when he finally gets here.
