Still Into You
Santana cradles the tiny baby in her arms and places a kiss on his hat covered head that's hiding his tuft of thick black hair. As soon as her lips touch his head he scrunches up his tiny face as if he's had enough attention for one day.
She can't quite believe it; she's a grandmother. It only felt like yesterday that she was in the same position holding her own daughter whilst Rachel was in the hospital bed next to her.
Barbara was the oldest of their three children and was the first to give them a grandchild. She knows that the baby in her arms wouldn't be the last one though. Her other children; Zoe and Roberto are getting older now and are on their way to making their own families.
Santana looks over to her wife who had that proud smile plastered across her face. They had been together since high school much to their surprise of their friends. She remembers explaining to her friends that some times some things just make sense and that's exactly the way she felt about Rachel.
To Santana it did just make sense so she didn't care what they thought. She let them question their relationship because she knew that it was real. Rachel made her happy and vice versa. Never in her life had she ever cared about what anyone else thought and she took the same stance with her relationship with Rachel.
Their relationship had never been a walk in the park, there were arguments and even break ups, but regardless there was always one constant and that was love. Throughout the years they never stopped loving each other and that made them work at their relationship and eventually they found a balance that made their relationship work.
People didn't expect them to make it very far and when they broke up for the first time, everybody, even Santana herself, thought that their relationship was over. However, they always made it back to each other because no matter what they were made for each other.
It might have seemed like an effort at the time but once they got over a bad patch they realised that it was all worth it. The arguments, the break ups they all led to where they are right now, still as happy and in love as they were in high school.
Santana stands up and hands the baby over to Rachel. Santana smiles at Rachel as she cradles her grandchild. She's so happy that she can't help but lean in and place a soft kiss on her wife's lips.
Santana never imagined that she would still feel this way about Rachel. She knew that she would love her forever but the butterflies and the tingling feelings still existed too.
She remembers when she first had those feelings back in high school, she isn't sure how things changed. One day there was Rachel Berry fellow glee clubber and then the next it was there is Rachel Berry the most beautiful girl she has ever seen.
It wasn't just when she was with Rachel that she experienced those butterflies, she felt them when she just mentioned Rachel's name. She used to talk about Rachel all the time to her mother and after a couple of months Maribel demanded that Santana bring home the girl she hadn't stopped gushing about.
Santana was nervous the night she invited Rachel to dinner with her family, she wanted her parents to really like her girlfriend. Thankfully the dinner went really well and Santana's parents loved Rachel which made Santana wonder why she had any doubts in the first place.
When she drove Rachel home that night, they sat outside of Rachel's house for a few minutes. Santana felt so happy in that moment that she couldn't help but express to Rachel how she felt.
It was the first time that she had ever said I love you to Rachel, but throughout the years it wouldn't be the last.
She says it every day. In truth they probably say it to each other at least three or four times a day. They say it every night before they go to bed as they cuddle beneath the sheets and every morning they greet each other with those three little words.
