Drizzle

"I don’t wanna play anymore!" Brittany calls, a slight whine in her voice as she fixes her ponytail—which really should help her keep cool, but doesn’t as the sun swelters down on their already overheated bodies and causes her hair to stick to the back of her neck.

Gross.

"We could practice—"

"I don’t want to practice catching the ball either, you throw too hard—which is good for when you’re on the team but bad when you’re trying to teach me to properly catch and then pass!"

Finn scratches at the back of his head as he walks towards Brittany. “Well we could practice—”

"I wanna pet the ducks." Brittany deadpans as she raises her brows at Finn.

"Ducks." Finn nods as he falters for a slight moment. "Yeah, we could do that! Uh the pond is about five minutes away from here, so you can ride on my back if you want?" Finn offers as he rubs at his face with his discarded shirt before kneeling on the ground, his hands going behind him as he looks at Brittany with raised brows.

Finn had ditched his shirt long ago and Brittany would have as well, but her mother’s nagging voice in the back of her head told her that being shirtless in a public area is not one of the greatest of ideas…there could be children around!

But oh how she would love to let her skin breathe…

"Awesome." Brittany grins as she jumps onto his overheated back, her arms loosely wrapping around Finn’s neck and waist, Finn’s hands sneaking a slight squeeze as he stands back up. Brittany gives him a quick peck on his cheek, her foot lightly tapping at his side as her way of telling him to start walking. ————— “Did you bring the bread?” Brittany asks as Finn sets her down.

"Yeah, it’s in my bag. Can you get it for me, babe?"

Brittany shoulders off Finn’s backpack and unzips it, digging around and pushing aside a roll of condoms (they’re no fun, but they have to be safe!), Santana’s favorite baseball cap (it’s her favorite too..) and a mushy snickers bar that was supposed to be for later but now has to be freezes when they get home. Brittany continues digging till her hand hits the fluffy loaf of bread, new of course, because these hungry ducks deserve fresh bread instead of the icky stale kind that Santana usually insists on feeding them.

Brittany untwists the twist tie and reaches into the bag and pulls out a slice of bread, quickly ripping it to pieces and being careful as she collects each piece on her hand. Handing Finn the loaf of bread, Brittany heads towards the edge of the pond, her body buzzing in excitement when she sees a mother duck and her little ducklings waddling around not too far away.

Taking a piece of bread that she has rolled into a ball, Brittany throws it towards the center of the pond, the little splash that the ball of bread makes when it hits the water, getting the ducks attention. When they notice the small piece of balled up bread floating in the water, they quack in tandem and race towards it.

The mother duck takes the piece of bread for herself, her offspring quacking in disapproval as they watch her scoop up the piece of bread with her beak and eat it. Some of the ducklings flap around and squawk as they search around them for more food.

Poor little duckies must be hungry.

Brittany balls up the rest of each piece of bread in her hand, throwing them in separate directions so the cute little duckies don’t try and trample over each other for the same piece.

"Wow, look at e’m go." Finn grins as he rips apart a piece of bread and throws pieces in every direction, the ducks quacking as they see more food.

"I really want a duck." Brittany murmurs, which catches Finn’s attention.

"One time when I was little I found a ducks nest and I wanted to take one of the eggs and bring it home to keep but then my mom smacked my hand and said that if I touched the eggs the mama would come back and be said that one of her kids was gone. I didn’t want to make the mom sad, so I left the eggs alone…I was really disappointed though."

"You did the right thing." Finn shrugs.

"Yeah." Brittany sighs. "Come on, we should get back home before my dad tries going through your phone again." Brittany grabs Finn’s hand and tugs him away from the pond as he begins to frown.

"He tries to go through my phone?"

"He still doesn’t like you, so.."

"Well luckily I have a pass code on it, or else he’d see all those pictures you send me."

Brittany lightly smacks Finn on the arm. “Finn, that’s gross! My dad doesn’t need to see me like that.” “He won’t; my pass code is like..fool proof.” (Line Break) Finn grimaces as he tries to keep a hold on the duckling that’s trying to escape from his cupped hands.

"Seriously…could you just calm down?"Finn practically pleads as the baby duck stills for a moment and peeps at him.

"You’re gonna love your new home..my girlfriend—who I’ve already told you is named Brittany—she’s like the nicest person you’ll ever meet. She’s has a nice family with a cute little sister and I mean her dad could probably be nicer…but he’ll like you. Her mom cooks really good and she rarely cooks meat—don’t worry, you won’t have to witness any of your cousins going into the oven or anything—and they have this cat named Lord Tubbington."

The duckling just blinks at him.

"And Brittany’s been really sad these past couple of days because she’s always wanted a duck, but didn’t want to take one from its mother…so just be yourself and expect lots of love." Finn finishes as he heads up Brittany’s front porch and rings the doorbell.

A few moments later the door opens and Finn falters for a moment as Mr. Pierce glares down at him.

"Hey, Mr. Pierce." Finn awkwardly greets.

"Hudson." Mr. Pierce acknowledges. "Brittany is upstairs in her room…keep her door open." He grumbles as he heads back into the living room.

"Right—thanks!"

Finn takes his shoes off and pushes them with his foot so they’re on the mat where all the other shoes are. Finn opens his cupped hands slightly, so the baby duck can peak out its head. Finn heads upstairs and down the hall and stops in front of Brittany’s door, knocking softly.

Finn hears faint footsteps and quickly places his hands behind his back as the door swings open and Brittany comes into view.

"Hi Finn." Brittany smiles as she leans up and pecks him on the cheek.

"I have a surprise for you." Finn grins as Brittany looks at him curiously.

Finn brings his hands in front of him and laughs as Brittany gasps when she sees the baby duck, which peeps at her in greeting.

"Oh my God!" Brittany squeals as she holds out her hand for the duck. Finn places the duck into her hold and chuckles as Brittany is extra careful with how she holds it.

"Finn—where did you?"

"You remember my uncle, right? The one with the farm?"

Brittany nods. “The one who’s goat ate my favorite pair of panties, yeah.”

"Well he added some ducks to his farm awhile ago and when I asked him if I could have one.."

"I love you so much." Brittany mumbles as she kisses Finn firmly on the lips. "Won’t the mom be sad though?"

"My uncle said that a friend of his found the nest and was monitoring it for a couple of days and the mom never showed up so he brought the eggs to him to take care of."

"Oh you poor thing." Brittany coos at the baby duck, who flaps it’s wings, which causes Brittany to giggle.

"So…since you’re the mom now, you get to name it—well her. My uncle said she’s a girl."

Brittany smiles. “How about Drizzle? You said that if we were to have a daughter together, you’d want her to be named Drizzle and I mean you’re the dad too so she’s basically like our own daughter.”

"Awesome." Finn breathes out as he places his arm around Brittany’s shoulder, the two of them watching as Drizzle’s eyes begin to flutter closed.

"Where will she sleep?" Finn whispers as Brittany furrows her brows in thought before she points across the hall to her sisters room.

"My sister still has her Easter basket in her bedroom—we could use that? And could you grab a washcloth from the hallway closet?" Brittany whispers.

"Great idea."

As Finn looks around for the Easter basket, Brittany heads downstairs into the living room, being careful to not wake Drizzle up as she sits on the couch beside her dad who raises a brow at her.

Brittany smiles weakly at him. “Please?” She whispers as she lifts Drizzle for her father to get a proper look at her. Mr. Pierce sighs and nods with a smile as Brittany kisses him on the cheek in thanks. Scowling as he hears Finn coming down the stairs—which causes Brittany to role her eyes because her dad really dislikes Finn that much—Mr. Pierce heads to the yard.

Finn places the basket on the coffee table with the washcloth already folded neatly inside, while Brittany carefully places Drizzle onto the washcloth.

"So cute." Brittany murmurs as she takes out her phone and takes a picture. (Line Break) “Ah, shit.” Finn hisses as Brittany quietly scolds him as she carefully cleans the cut on his arm, courtesy of an angry Lord Tubbington.

"I think your cat hates me more than your dad does." Finn whines as Brittany finishes and takes out two boxes of bandaids for him to choose from.

Of course when Finn points to the Power Rangers bandaid’s, Brittany raises a brow at him and he falters for a moment before relenting and pointing to the box of Hello Kitty bandaid’s instead, which causes Brittany to smile.

What? Finn looks adorable with a Hello Kitty bandaid.

After placing a kiss on the applied bandaid, Brittany plops herself onto Finn’s lap, her arms wrapping loosely around his neck as she nudges her nose against his.

"You’re such a good daddy." Brittany murmurs. "Despite knowing that Lord Tubbington would hurt you for taking Drizzle away from him at the last minute..that’s like such a turn on; you being all protective of our kid, y’know?"

"I was just…making sure Tubbs didn’t eat her." Finn mumbles as Brittany peppers his neck with kisses. "I’d do anything to protect Drizzle, she’s our baby and I love her."

"And I love you." Brittany murmurs as she gets off of Finn’s lap and kneels on the floor. Brittany unzips Finn’s fly and smirks when his leg twitches. (Line Break) “The balloon idea was really cute.” Brittany says as she places Drizzle onto the grass and jogs a bit away from her.

Drizzle peeps in alert as she runs after her mother, the partly inflated yellow balloon bobbing from side to side.

"Yeah, we don’t want to lose her and if we did, we’d see the balloon."

"With how she just reacted, she won’t stray from my side." Brittany smiles as she strokes Drizzle’s head with her pointer finger.

"Did you bring the bread?"

"Yeah; I put aside two slices for Drizzle and the rest goes to the ducks in the pond."

Finn places a piece of bread in front of Drizzle, watching in amusement as Drizzle tries to peck at the whole piece till Brittany takes it away from her and rips it into small enough pieces.

"Do you think I could teach Drizzle to play football?" Finn muses as Drizzle explores the park, making sure to stay close enough to her mother.

"Maybe, but she’d have to be older and watch enough your your football games to understand the rules. I’ll bring her to your next game."

"Sweet." Finn grins as he picks Drizzle up and waves her around as if she were a flying plane, Brittany enthusiastically recording them and making engine noises.
