Author's Note: I do not own Glee, or anything else mentioned in this fanfic.

As suggested by chicavolcom89, and am doing a sequel to my fanfic When Things Fall Apart. This story is through Santana's POV only, and it will begin near the end.

Also I'm on break right now, so hopefully I will finish the story before it ends, if not don't expect quick and often updates.

Enjoy, and tell me if you think I should continue.

PLEASE REVIEW!


Each moment lasted an eternity, but her life happened in a moment. Santana was now ninety-eight years old, as well was her wife. The years had been kind to her and Brittany, until recently. Santana lay in a hospital bed, next to Brittany, they held each other's hands; they both had cancer and were terminal. Santana had lung cancer, due to the second hand smoke she was exposed to while she worked in a bar during college, and Brittany had been diagnosed with leukemia. They both were diagnosed three months ago and were told they had three months to live, if they chose to not receive any form of treatment. After a long discussion, filled with tears and fear, they both decided not to receive treatment because they came to the conclusion that they had lived, truly lived. They had found happiness, love, success, as well as three amazing kids.

It is now three months later, and Santana knows the end is near for the both of them. She can barely breathe, and Brittany is just holding on. Santana feels a young man's hand grab hers; she glances over to see that is her son Andrew holding her hand. He gives her a sympathetic smile, telling her that everything is going to be okay. Santana feels her old eyes, still filled with life, fill with tears. She was scared. Scared of dying, leaving Brittany alone, leaving her kids, and being left alone, even for a minute. Brittany squeezed her hand, and with that Santana was reliving her life, through her memories.


Just moments before, the entire world had gone black and white. But now, her world was filled with color, and with people cheering loudly. Santana broke the kiss and laughed as she wiped her tears from her cheeks. She looked at Brittany, so much joy, so much love, in one simple smile. Santana returned the smile, before placing the ring on Brittany's finger.

Brittany looked at the ring for a moment before she said, "Well, at least we don't have to worry about finding an amazing wedding planner."

Santana laughed, "And who did you have in mind?"

"Kurt."

Santana smiled, "Good, because I was thinking the same thing."

Kurt squealed in excitement, but only for a moment, before saying, "I am honored, however we shall get to work when you two set a date."

Santana felt a tap on her shoulder, when she turned around, she saw her Abuela with tears of joy and a smile on her face. "I have never been so proud of you Santana," she said before pulling her granddaughter into a hug. After her Abuela, Blaine and Tom congratulated her. Santana excused herself for a moment, to clean up her makeup. She quickly ran to the nearest bathroom. She had just finished washing her face when she saw Anna in the mirror, she was smiling. "Do you realize that you're being a creeper?" Santana asked with a laugh.

Anna chuckled as she shook her head, "Your point?"

The young Latina shrugged, "As long as you know."

Anna smiled slyly, "Well, I just came up here to congratulate you-"

"Is that it?"

"No, I also wanted to tell you that I will be walking you down the aisle."

Santana scrunched her eyebrows, "Isn't that supposed to be Tom's job?"

"You and Tom have never been close, and since you came to live with us…" Anna trailed off.

"It's okay Anna, I was kicked out."

"Well ever since you were kicked out, and came to live here I have considered you to be my daughter."

Santana smiled, "And I have considered you to be mother except, I refuse to call you 'mom' or any other variation. You have taught me so much. Cooking, cleaning, sewing a button, balancing a checkbook, and life lessons in general, and because of that, and because you are my mother, I would be honored if you walked me down the aisle," Santana said as she embraced Anna in a hug.


Santana and Brittany were enthralled with each other, and planning their wedding. They had set a date, June 17th, 2018, before they went back to Cleveland. Santana always laughed when she thought about it. She never thought that she would end up in Cleveland and actually like it. She and Brittany both ended up in New York City for college. While Brittany studied dance at Julliard, Santana was studying to become a pharmacists, in a six year program. Santana had a doctorate in pharmacy, and she was now a licensed Pharmacist working for the Cleveland Clinic. After Brittany graduated from Julliard, she performed on Broadway for two years; however, when Santana told her that she had gotten a job in Cleveland she followed. Right now Brittany was a choreographer for Playhouse Square, but she was planning to open her own dance studio.

Santana what surprised Santana the most was the city. It wasn't the "mistake on the lake" was so often called, it was a great place. Cleveland had culture, surprising diversity, sprit, and pride. Also, rent was so much cheaper than in New York. Another thing that surprised Santana was that she and Brittany weren't the only ones who now lived in Cleveland; their best friend had done so as well. Yes, Quinn lived in Cleveland too. After graduating from, Yale's theater program she moved to Cleveland; now she was working the lead actress in one of the off-Broadway productions.

Yesterday, Santana had gotten a call from Quinn, saying she had big news and they had to meet for lunch. So, Santana was on her way to the West-Side market, their favorite lunch rendezvous. Sure enough, Santana found Quinn at the gyro counter, "So what the big news?" Santana asked clearly intrigued.

"I got a job." Quinn stated with a grin.

"That's great! What production?"

Quinn bit her lower-lip, she always did it when she was nervous or excited, "You haven't heard of it."

"Try me."

"It's called Element, I got the lead."

Santana squealed in excitement, "That's awesome! Where and when is the premiere?"

"Um… this summer, on you TV."

Santana blinked a couple of times in shock. "Did you say TV?" Quinn nodded. "Oh, and what network is it going to be on?" Quinn mumbled something. "I'm sorry what, didn't understand that."

"ABC."

Santana blinked a couple more times before shouting, "HOLY SHIT QUINN, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FAMOUS!" Quinn slapped Santana on the shoulder, because now everyone was staring. "Sorry." Santana mumbled.

"Good."

"Well, that just destroyed my good news."

Quinn gently furrowed her brow, "What do you mean? What good news?"

Santana smirked, "Brittany and I are engaged."

Quinn's hazel eyes grew vary wide, "What did you say?"

"Britt and I are getting married, and I want you to be my maid of honor," Santana said in whisper.

"Oh my god! Yes, of course I will!" Quinn screamed as she hugged her best friend. This time the people were staring at Quinn. "Sorry, my friend here just told me she engaged, and asked me to be her maid of honor." People clapped and cheered, and then went their own ways.

Santana smiled for a moment before a frown appeared, "Wait does this mean you're moving to L.A.?"

Quinn smirked, "Well, I already bought an apartment in West Hollywood-"

"What happened to, and I quote 'I'm not that into that?'"

"Well I have been surrounded by so many gays, since high school, my life would be rather boring." Santana raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Whatever. Anyways. As I was going to say, I will being living there during filming, and major events, but my residence will be here in Cleveland."

A smile appeared on Santana's face, "Good."
