We're very excited, so let's do this!
Life isn't a fairy tale, your prince doesn't rescue you and you live happily ever after, real life is much more complicated than that. You can look all your life for 'The one', you can find them and lose them, you can think that you know, but realize it's not it. Rachel's and Santana's road to true love was full of everything; they fought, been with other people, became close friends and finally, they tied the knot with the person that was there all along. After they got hurt badly and got scarred, some they carry with them to this day, the women found their soulmate; a person that accepts them for everything they are, loves them, takes care of them and while they're as close and as cheesy as a couple can be, they still keep their individuality and has dreams and goals of their own, just like they have for their family.
The couple has been married for two years now and what an amazing two years they were. After a romantic and a wonderful honeymoon, the pair came back to their regular life and they were stronger. In terms of the family life, except normal arguments, the relationship with their daughter was great. They spent time together once in a while, Dani still came to them when she had problems or some difficulties and they got to see her growing to be a lovely young woman that with time became a mix of them and her own self. Business wise, Rachel's career only got bigger; the partnership with Quinn as her manager along with how successful her show was, opened many doors for the woman and offers she didn't think about before were offered for her to decided. Thanks to their financial status and the timing being right, Santana took courses in business administration and economics. Later, with her wife's giving her the push she needed and everyone's support, Santana bought her club and now runs it by herself. She did some remodeling and changes, making her club the number one kink club in New York.
Quinn and Puck's move wasn't only good for Rachel, but also gave Kurt the chance to truly move on. He sold the house to the couple and got himself a place in the city, not too far from his work and in a good neighborhood. He still wasn't dating anyone seriously, he invested his efforts in work and it paid off, he got promoted; which meant less work for more money.
The move to New York got the Puckarmens to talk and though Quinn didn't even imply that that's what she wanted, Puck ended his service. It was mostly because he wanted to spend more time with his wife and so they could, at some point in their near future, have a family, but also because he wanted to move on. While Quinn spends many hours managing Rachel's career, he works at the fitness center that opened not long before they moved there.
It's beautiful, really, how the relationships between all those people in Rachel and Santana's life got stronger with time. They were all busy, stuck at work or wanted to have alone time every now and then, but managed to find time for one another and didn't let what they worked hard to rebuild collapse.
About a year into the marriage, Santana told Rachel about an idea she had and asked for her opinion. The Latina wanted to tattoo Rachel's name and a small red heart under her left breast and close to her heart. Also, she wanted Dani and their future baby's name, with two butterflies next to it, on her shoulder blade. She told Rachel she wanted to make some gesture for her family and she wanted a tattoo for a long time, it was perfect. Rachel was touched and thought that her wife was going to look even more perfect than before. A while after Santana did it; it became a thing for Rachel to trace her name on her wife's body whenever her body was exposed. She, herself, wanted to get one herself, but was still in the process of thinking about what to get.
While everything was, pretty much, going well for then, the couple didn't put aside or forgot about their huge desire to have another child. They worked hard to save money and find the right way for them to do it. They met with their doctor and she gave them reading material. She understood they wanted to know everything before diving in; therefore she guided them and helped with their research. Rachel and Santana decided that they wanted to do it at home and thankfully, the technology allowed that. Their doctor taught them the process and the important keys. Santana also had to get some shots of hormones and changed her diet to a healthier one. And after they picked the sperm donor and got everything they needed, they could begin. They tried twice and unfortunately the test showed that Santana wasn't pregnant. Each time was devastating for them; they got their hopes up and crushed to learn it didn't stick. But they weren't quitting, having a baby was too important to the both of them. They comforted each other and talked to the doctor again; see if they could do anything in a better way.
Now, sitting together on the sofa after getting home early after a couple of weeks in which they worked almost nonstop, their mind is only on the child they already have. Dani graduated high school a couple of months ago and got accepted to a great college. For a long time the young girl wasn't sure of what she wanted to major in. She talked to her moms and the family, but only when she and Marley lay on the grass, having a nice romantic picnic, it came to her and she was so excited about it; audio engineering was going to be her major. Her parents were glad that she found her way and in a field she loves and can make good money in.
It's now two weeks before Dani's first day and a night before she's moving in with Marley. The young couple survived high school and was set to be on their own the first change they get. Dani got a better part time job at Vogue and Marley also got a job there, but on the docks. They found a nice apartment they could afford and the area wasn't bad. It wasn't easy at all for Rachel and Santana to let go of Dani, but they were happy she's responsible and independent. They weren't ready for Dani to move away, but she was and they couldn't ignore how happy she looked about her future. The only difficult thing for Dani is Marley joining the Marines and leaving in a few months. A lot has changed in terms of her feeling, she was very supportive of her girlfriend, but still scared of losing her and nervous of being alone, without the biggest source of support. But they made a decision to enjoy their time as best as they can before Marley leaves and that's what Dani is focused on.
The TV is on, but Santana and Rachel are busier with their thought of the next day. They can hear Dani doing some last minute packing and if they glance to the side, they can see some boxes already next to the door. "Time goes by so fast.." Santana sighs.
Rachel runs her hand on Santana's lap, almost gripping every so often. "Y-Yeah, way too fast." She says with a soft whine.
"She's going to be on her own, I won't be able to wake her up or yell at her to go to sleep and that she'd see Marley in a few hours.." Santana half joking. "It's going to be weird without her here, so empty."
"I'm already missing her." Rachel furrows her eyebrows. "Is this how our parents felt?" She asks.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Santana looks at her wife and scoots closer to her, "It's horrible, I don't like it.. We should make her come to dinner all the time!" She says with some excitement, like it can actually happen, but she knows better. "Oh, and we should make lots of babies so we won't be left alone."
"You want to put your body through all of that?" Rachel looks at Santana with derision. "Besides, it's not like she's moving too far... Right?"
"You only want me for my hot body, I knew it." Santana says and laughs. "She's going to be about thirty minutes away, it's nothing really." She nods, "I'm so proud of doing this. She could've stayed at home and have it much easier, instead she's going after what she wants. God, she's so like us.."
"She's going to be our little star!" Rachel lets out with excitement then leans on Santana. "I mean, of all professions she could have went with, she is going to learn how producers make music and stuff." She looks over towards the stairs and frowns again. "But our baby is still going away."
Santana sighs and pulls Rachel for a warm embrace, "We gave raised her to be the woman she is today and she can always come back to us, for a talk, for a night or for whatever she needs and for as long as she'd need it." Santana's gaze lingers on the stairs, then she looks back at Rachel, "But you are right, she's going to be a star, the producer everyone goes to." She smiles, "And even though Marley is leaving in a few months, we can feel safer knowing our girl is in good hands."
"True, still though it sucks." Rachel moved some hair behind her ear. "Dani will have the skills that most singers don't, she'll be self-made, and maybe even do scores for movies."
"Once she finishes college, she'd be able to take control of the music industry." Santana says with a big smile.
"She will take the world by storm, and everyone will kiss her feet for her mercy." Rachel says in a dramatic tone while doing the hand gestures to match. "Or she will just do her mothers proud."
Santana was about to say something when Dani appears at the top of the stairs. "I'm all done!" She announces and starts walking down, looking tired. "I left only one box for the things I still need for tonight and tomorrow morning." She says and takes a seat next to Rachel.
"Right on time, honey, your mom and I were discussing your world domination." Santana jokes.
Dani shakes her head, used to her parents' behavior, "Mom, is there any food? I'm starving." She gives her mom the best puppy dog eyes and snuggles up to her.
Santana chuckles, "How did you convince Marley to live with you I don't want to know." She says and keeps laughing when Dani glares at her, then goes back to the previous facial expression she had on.
"We have leftovers from last night, unless you want something different for your last night here." Rachel looks over at Dani, just thinking about the fact that it wasn't so long ago that Dani first walked into their home, regained her confidence, and started a new life with Rachel and Santana. "Why did you have to grow up, you were once that little girl that would cuddle me or Mama to sleep; now you're a mature young woman leaving to start her life."
"I was raised by the two most powerful women I know; can you really expect me to be any different?" She answers her mom with a grin. "And I'll probably crush here for a few nights while Marls will be away." Dani knows herself; she is strong enough to handle Marley leaving, but she'd need to return home to her moms to recharge once in a while.
Santana smiles warmly towards her daughter and wife, "How about we order from that Chinese place you love and watch Rent?" Santana asks and leans to brush some hair off her daughter's face.
Dani looks between her moms; she knows it's hard for them. She's not that tired and what her mom just suggested sounds great. "Yeah, mama, let's do this." She says, but doesn't move from her mom's side.
"Stay with your mom, I'll be right back." Santana chuckles and gets up to go to the kitchen.
Rachel watches Santana walk; she slightly bites her lip for a second, and then looks toward the TV. "Sweetie, promise that you'll call every weekend?" She looks at Dani. "Also, make sure to do all your school work, and make sure Marley is around you at all times and.. And.." Rachel frowns a bit. "I'm being overprotective, aren't I?"
"When are you not?" Dani giggles and moves away from her mom's personal space to sit next to her. "I'm staying in New York and there are plenty of ways for us to keep in touch." She looks at the screen. "I'm going to work hard, mom, I want it so much that there is no way I'm not putting everything I've got into it." She glance at her mom and bite her lip, a bit nervous admitting just how much she's excited to start college. "And Marley,-" Dani instantly smiles, "-She takes care of me better than I do myself. And I'm not letting her go until I absolutely have to."
Rachel keeps a little more calm while Dani explained her ambitions, it made her feel slightly better about her going, even though she is still going to miss her daughter like crazy. "You're going to go far, that's for sure." She compliments before getting up from the couch to put on the movie.
Santana called to order the food and made her way back to the living room with cups, apple juice and a, now very big, dog. "Remember that you have to visit often, for Dex's sake, he's gonna miss you." Santana assumes its ok for her to make Dani feel a little bit guilty, she's her mother after all; it's a part of her job.
Dani pouts and signal the dog with her hands to come sit next to her "Come here, buddy." She snuggles into him after he ran and almost jumped on her. "You know I love you, right? Because I do!" She tells him and he, in return, licks her face.
If that's what her mom felt when she left, Santana is grateful Dani is staying close and that she and Rachel has a lot going on in their life to keep them busy. "Ok, ladies and Dex, the food is going to get here soon." She says and sits on the couch, "I know it's modest, but it's so us, to celebrate like this. So let's cuddle up and watch this movie for the millionth time."
The night consisted of them watching movies, and looking back at various moments from when Dani was younger, times did indeed change and it was for the good. Sometime towards midnight Dani decided to hit the hay since she was going to be moving during the morning hours, she talked to Marley until she went to sleep just like she normally would, the conversation consisted of all the things they were going to do when they get settled in, it was the typical cheesy romantic convo that they'd normally have. Rachel and Santana spent some more time talking about Dani, expressing how much she miss her, and how they were going to try to make the best of not having Dani there like they used to. Morning was slowly approaching; Marley Rose had her stuff in the truck and was on her way to the Lopez household to finally live with the love of her life. Luckily for her, Rachel and Santana gave Marley a key to the house to come by if she needed to, which this fell under the 'Need' category. The young brunette walked in, and quietly made her way over to Dani's room, on her way she saw Dex grumbling in his sleep which almost startled her.
Marley walked inside Dani's room, carefully tiptoed over to her bed, sitting on the side and placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "Wake up, my love." She quietly says.
Dani begins to stir in her sleep when she feels Marley's lips. She smells her girlfriend's perfume and hears her voice, but it takes her a couple of minutes to actually wake up. Finally, her eyes fluttered open and she gives her girl a small smile. "Hey, you." She says in a raspy voice and put her arm on Marley's lap.
"I can't believe today is the day, soon we will be in our own home." Marley smiles at her girlfriend for a few moments. "I got the four of us coffee and my mom made breakfast before I left."
"I'm so happy!" Dani moves closer to Marley, "And you're an angel." She tells her and sits up. "I just need a few more kisses to start the day; I didn't really feel the previous one."
Marley chuckles at how Dani is acting before leaning in to place the kisses on Dani's lips. "One." She mumbles, and then lightly pecks her lips again. "Two.." She mumbles once more as she tilts her head and deepens the kiss.
Dani's face turned a shade redder and her hands instinctively went to cup her girlfriend's face. Marley's kisses always make her heart race and Dani knows that she has to stop or soon she won't be able to. "Hmm.. Now that's the way to wake up." She says against Marley's lips. "Should I get ready now or after we're done placing my boxes in the truck?"
"After breakfast." Marley slowly leans against the headrest, smiling at the woman before her. "I'll grab the food and coffee, you wake up your moms?" She asks.
"Not sure I want to do that." Dani chuckles. Though she knows she and Marley are going to end up just like them, she doesn't need additional scars from her moms. She places her arms around Marley and places her chin on her shoulder. "I love you so much, you know that?"
"I do know that, actually." Marley traces her hand against Dani's back. "Did you know I love you so much?" She continues as she adjusts herself to wrap her other arm over Dani's waist. "Like, so freaking much."
"You do, huh?" She smiles and pecks her lips, "Good, because I can't wait to spend every night in your arms." She says, but then pouts, "I guess we need to get up and start doing stuff, right?"
"Sadly yes, but the sooner we get done, the more time we have to cuddle." Marley says as her hand moves towards the woman's rear, but stops at the waistline of her shirt. "You're so beautiful, like I could look at you for a lifetime."
Dani continues to pout, "How do you expect me to get anything done with you saying things like that?" She pecks Marley's lips and gently bites them. "So, yeah, let's do what you said before and get to our home as fast as possible." She says as she gets up from the bed, followed by Marley. While her girlfriend walks to set the breakfast in the kitchen, Dani goes to her moms' room. She knocks twice on the door, but doesn't open it, "Moms, Marley is here and she brought breakfast."
"Can you move out tomorrow?" Santana says from the other side of the door.
"Like I told you yesterday, no." Dani answers, "Come on, get up and meet us downstairs. We don't want to drag this all day, please moms." She tells them and smiles when she hears that they'll be right down. She gives them the time they need and goes to the kitchen.
Marley quickly went downstairs, past the living room, and out the door to the truck to get the food.
Rachel slowly sits up, sleepy eyed and all. "It is way too early and too soon..." She pouts.
Rachel nods and rubs her eyes. "Where are my glasses?" She asks while feeling around the bed with one hand for them.
"Between our pillows, I was too tired to put them on the nightstand." Santana says and pulls her hair up. "I'm going to brush my teeth and head to the kitchen, I need coffee badly." She gets up and adjusts her shorts, then walks to the bathroom.
Rachel grabbed her glasses the second Santana told her where they were, once she had them on, she looks at Santana walking and lets out a wolf whistle. "Damn, that ass does shake and in all the right ways." She lies on her side and smirks.
Santana stops in her tracks and raises her eyebrow. She turns her head and sees the smirk on her wife's face. "Oh, don't start with me, Rach." She warns playfully, "I will come back to bed."
"You know that my best catcalls are when I just wake up, or when I am way too tired." Rachel chuckles, then sits up, scoots off the bed, and walks over to her wife. "How 'bout a quick shower?" She says in a low tone.
"I love you, that's all I have to say." Santana pecks Rachel's lips a few times and after hearing Rachel saying it back, they walk into the bathroom to get ready and some quick, harmless, fun.
Marley came back from the truck with the food and coffee, Dani helped set the table while Marley sat out all of the containers. "Okay, so my mom made some organic eggs, will your mom be cool with that?" She asks.
"Of course." Dani says as she grabs some cups and brings them to the table, "You brought them food and coffee, I think they're going to be thankful." She says and looks up at Marley, "And you know, less 'How can you take our daughter away from us?!'" She jokes.
"My mom tried to keep me from leaving this morning, she was so sad, it was hard to go." Marley leaned against the counter and adjusts her hat. "But I'm glad that she supports me going out and living my life, with the woman I love that is."
"Baby.." Dani walks over to Marley and loosely wraps her arms around her waist, "I love you too, and your mom is going to be just fine, I'll make sure of that when you'd be away." She tells her with a smile.
"I'm sure you will, after all you take good care of me." Marley says proudly. "Dani, when I'm done with my service, I am going to take you places." She continues with a lip bitten smile.
"You don't need to take me anywhere; all I want is for you to come back to me safe and sound." Dani says calmly and tucks some hair behind Marley's ear.
Santana clears her throat as she and Rachel enter the kitchen. They both smile at the girls and look at the table, "Good morning, Marley. It's so nice of you to bring breakfast, thank you." Santana tells the young girl and reaches for a cup of coffee.
Marley gulped and smiled. "U-Uh.. My mom made a home-style breakfast for us, and the cup you grabbed is Rachel's Chai Tea." She points out then looks away. "Just letting ya' know..."
"Marley, you don't need to be so nervous around us anymore." Rachel walks past Santana and picks up some of the containers, moving them to the table. "We're practically family at this point, just as long as you make our daughter happy, we'll all be fine." She says while portioning the food.
Santana furrows her eyebrows; she needs caffeine badly, definitely not tea. She only hears the last part of what Rachel is saying, but she agrees and nods. They've come a very long way with Marley and the young woman is still here, loving their daughter, so Rachel is right about them being a family. "Millie made that? So it must be good." She smiles and sits down in her usual seat, "What are we waiting for? Not that I mind you staying as long as possible.." Santana looks between the women.
Dani can't be happier with her moms' behavior towards Marley; they accept and trust her and that's mean the world to the maroon haired woman. She gives Marley's side a gentle squeeze and walks to her spot at the table.
Rachel sat at the table, getting ready to eat what was on her plate when Marley remembered something. "Oh, Rachel!" She runs to one end of the counter where the bags are, she pulled out a container that had food in it. "You gotta try this." She pulls open the container, grabbed a spoon, and then took a portion of it over to the other woman.
"Try what-" Rachel was about to ask, but got interrupted by a spoonful of food. "Marley what the..." She widens her eyes some and let out a gentle moan. "What is this?" She asks happily.
"My mom's not-so-veggie casserole, it is essentially a veggie casserole, but it has some special imitation meat broth." Marley explains with a smile on her face. "She makes it for me all the time and I had to get you in on this." She says before moving over to the end Dani is sitting at, she sits next to her and takes a bite of her food.
"Well, I will have to get the recipe for this later." Rachel nods a couple times before going back to eating.
The rest of the breakfast was pleasant. The four women talked among themselves, mainly about the younger couple's life. Santana watched her daughter and the way she interacted with Marley and her heart warmed up; when she first moved to New York, she was confused and scared, but Dani is going to have a totally different experience. Once one of the girl's around the table met her significant other's gaze, they smiled and there was some sparkle in their eyes; yes, there was a lot of love around that table.
When they were finished and were cleaning up, Santana chatted with Marley a bit about her enlisting in a few months, while Rachel gave Dani some last-minute tips about living alone. Then it was time to load all of Dani's boxes to the truck. First, Rachel didn't want Santana to lift too many heavy things, but her wife told her she's not pregnant just yet and promised to be careful. They helped each other when it was needed and took some breaks to rest and drink some water, it is August after all.
A few hours later the truck was full with both Marley and Dani's belongings and almost ready to move, just a few more small boxes.
Santana looks at her daughter and feels heaviness in her chest. "D, sweetie, do you need any money or for us to get you some groceries for the week? Do you need anything at all?" She asks. Now that it's actually happening, she's anxious and worries that the girls would need something or something is going to go wrong or break and they won't know how to fix it.
With a box in her hands, Dani shakes her head, "We're fine, ma'. Maybe today we'll order something and just organize some of the important things, and tomorrow we'll go shopping and start to really unpack." She says and places the box in the truck, then looks at Marley.
"My mom made me get a few groceries yesterday while I was packing, plus she made a ton of meals for us when we get hungry this week." Marley explains as she organizes the boxes to make sure every think fit. "I gave you keys to our apartment, right?" She asks.
Rachel nods and puts another box in the truck. "Don't unpack that one right away, just... Wait until you guys get settled in, please." She requests nervously. "There is something very sentimental in there." She says.
Dani is extremely curious about the contents of the box and it's hard for her not to know, but her mom must have a good reason for wanting them to wait. "Ok, mom." She says with a smile and looks around, "I think we're done." Dani states and takes a deep breath.
"It looks like it." Santana says after she looks around as well, and then gulps. "Give us a few minutes to freshen up and we can go."
"G-Go.. Where..?" Dani asks and raises her eyebrow.
"We're coming with you; you will need help getting all the boxes to your apartment." Santana thought it was obvious, so she's a bit confused right now.
Dani glance at Marley, and then back to her moms. She doesn't want to hurt them or something, but they were planning on doing it by themselves. "No, mama, it's ok, we can handle it." She takes a couple of steps towards them, "Thank you so much for your help and for making it all possible for me, I love you, guys, so much"
Rachel walks back to Santana and hooks her arm around the Latina's waist and smiles at the two younger women; she gulps and wipes a couple tears from her eyes. "Y-You have the numbers, call Mama or I for anything and .." She covers her face with one hand. "Just be absolutely safe, baby." She requests.
Marley bit her lower lip and looked towards the floor of the truck bed, almost feeling guilty for taking Dani away from her home, but they both wanted this, and they know that the parents can't expect them to stay around forever. She walks to the edge, sits down and watches the three women interact.
"It's not a goodbye, we're a car drive away and I'll call you and see you often." Dani steps closer to her moms and tries to hold her tears, at least for now; she wants to be strong for them, she can break later, in Marley's arms.
Santana place one arm around her wife's shoulders and pulls her closer as some tears fall down from her eyes to her cheeks and, eventually, the ground. "Lock your door all the time, make sure you pay your bills on time and be careful who you become friends with." Santana manage to let out. They went over everything with Dani many times before; what to do, what to avoid and gave her advices, so they'd not repeat the same mistakes she and Rachel did. Though inevitable and part of life to make mistakes and learn. "We love you, baby girl."
Dani makes the last step and wraps one arm around Santana and the other around Rachel's waits and presses as much as she can against them. Santana wipes from her daughter's face and her own, then place a kiss on the young girl's head. She takes in Dani's scent and gets some flashbacks of their first days together. The pain will fade soon and it's clear to the Latina that she and Rachel would be left proud and happy for Dani.
Marley gives the three a calm smile. "Baby, let's get going." She moves off the truck, then reaches for the door, pulling it down in the process. "There is traffic and we still got to unpack." She scratches the back of her head and chuckles.
Rachel leans her head on Santana's shoulder, she returns the smile and nods some more. "Most importantly, have fun with what you do." She says.
"But not too much fun." Santana half jokes as she looks between the young girls and sniffle. "And remember, we have a key." She glares at Marley, but quickly breaks down and laughs.
"Mama!" Dani glance at her girlfriend, then back to her mom, "Can you please not give my girlfriend a heart attack?" She says and gives the woman a kiss on the cheek and a tight hug. Dani, then, moves a bit to the side, "Love you, mom. I'll text you later." She leans forward and hugs Rachel. "Please be the one keeping our key." She whispers to her and giggles as she pulls away and walks over to where Marley is. "Let's go, Marls." She kisses her cheek and walks to the passenger side.
Marley walks over to the driver's side, got in and looks at Dani for a few moments. "This is it." She smiles a slight amount. "I love you and thank you for being with me..." Marley grabs hold of Dani's hand, grazes it then let's go to grab the wheel.
"I love you too, beautiful." Dani says with a big smile on her face, and then takes a deep breath. They made it, they're actually moving in together. She keeps her eyes a few moments longer on the side mirror, watching her moms, then at Marley and finally leans her head on the window and relaxes. On their way, Dani thinks how lucky she got to find her other half and in such young age and just how amazing Marley is to her and in general.
It was an exhausting day for the young couple; the traffic was horrible, it was hot and they walked up and down, from their apartment to the truck and vice versa, like a hundred times before all their stuff was up. They took a look around their first house together and though they had a lot of work ahead of them, they were happy to start this journey. Dani started to unpack while Marley returned the truck and got them ice coffee on her way back. The couple talked about ways to save money and one of their decisions was to try to cook as much as possible and for a few days, it doesn't mean they won't order in or eat outside, but not often. Since they have food for the week and ice coffee doesn't cost much, Marley decided to buy them a large one. In such hot day, they deserved something to cool them off. Thankfully, Marley didn't have to go back by foot or public transportation; Kurt bought a new car a few months ago and, for a small amount of money, he sold it to the girls. The couple talked about saving for one, but it would've taken them years if Kurt didn't help them and was so generous. When Marley got home and after they rested a bit, the two continue to unpack some of the boxes and started to put everything in place. Slowly, the small apartment looked like home and the girls felt it and it made them feel connected to each other in a new way.
At some point in the evening, the couple said enough for today. They got a lot done and they needed the rest. Marley told Dani to go take a shower while she warm them their first dinner at their place. Dani nodded, it was a much needed shower. While her girlfriend was in the bathroom, Marley set up a makeshift sofa, using the mattress, since they're only going to go get one sometime this week. She warmed the food up and placed it on a small table they have, together with utensils and cups. She lit some candles and took the soda bottle out of the fridge and places it to the where they were going to sit. Yes, she was going to make their first night special.
Dani took her time in the shower and getting dressed, but the smell of the food got her to move faster. She gasps when she came out to see what Marley had done and smiles warmly at her girlfriend. "Honey.." She walks over to her, cups her face and pecks her lips a few times.
Marley smiles and returns the pecks she received. "I figured we would enjoy our first night, in some form of style." She brushes her nose against Dani's for a few moments. "Do you like?"
"Of course I do, thank you." Dani answers immediately. It's so like Marley to do things like that and Dani loves it about her. "Let's eat!" She says aloud and takes Marley's hand as they walk, even though it's only a few steps.
Marley sets them on the mattress, pours a couple cups of Gatorade. "It's not wine or champagne, but it's still delicious." She says as she raises her cup. "A toast to our first home."
"And to my perfect girlfriend." Dani smiles, "Cheers."
Marley taps her cup against Dani's then takes a drink. "I am only close to perfect; you my love are the definition of perfection." She compliments.
"Always so charming." Dani graze Marley's face, then reaches for the fork to start eating. "Remind me to thank your mother tomorrow for making our life much easier with her amazing food." She says after a couple of bites.
"I will, but first things first..." Marley sets her cup down and leans towards Dani, placing a few kisses on her neck and keeping her lips against the woman's neck. She moves her hand towards the waistline of Dani's shirt and lightly scratches her stomach.
Without moving her head, Dani glance at her girlfriend. She shivers due to the kisses and touch and place the fork down, then gulps. She's hungry, but she's already feeling that weakness in her body that she always has when they're about to do it. "Marls.." She pouts and puts her hand on the woman's neck; not completely sure she wants her to stop.
"A-Am I doing something bad?" Marley slowly rises up, looking into Dani's eyes. "I made you uncomfortable, didn't I?" She asks, now feeling worried she messed something up.
"No, no, honey, you did nothing wrong." Dani scoots closer to her, "I love you and I love what you were doing, so much." She's blushing as the words come out of her mouth, "I'm just hungry, so I was into the food, but.." She places her arms on the woman's shoulder, "We can heat it up later.." She bites her lip.
"Are you sure?" Marley asks. "I don't want to do anything that you don't want to, I'm sorry for rushing anything." She furrows her eyebrows.
"Baby.. Please." Dani tilts her head to give Marley the space she needs to do what she was doing a few moments ago.
Marley bit her lip and runs her hand against Dani's leg; she moves closer and begins to kiss at the woman's neck once again.
"Hmm.. Yeah, don't ever apologize for doing that." Dani lets out and wraps her arms around Marley's neck. Every piece of skin that her girlfriend touches or kiss feel like it's burning up. Her heart begins to race due to her excitement and she licks her lips in anticipation. She adjusts herself so she sits in front of Marley and spreads her legs a bit more.
Marley couldn't get enough of Dani if she tried, not that she'd want to, but the closeness of the two drove her nuts in many good ways. She lifted up Dani's shirt, taking it off in the process to reveal her exposed torso; Marley licked her lips before leaning to kiss at Dani's chest, caressing her breasts while doing so.
Dani moans and arches her back, wanting more of what Marley is doing to her. She wants to feel her everywhere, but she needs her lips against hers most of all. Dani opens her legs so Marley could be as close to her as possible and finds some strength to speak. "Kiss me." She asks in a quiet voice.
"Gladly." Marley whispers back before laying Dani down on the mattress, locking lips with her girlfriend and straddling her waist. She slowly unbuttons her blouse to reveal her bare torso to Dani, and then her hands roam around Dani's upper body, loving every inch of skin that she was able to feel.
Dani's hands feel around and find the warm skin of Marley's body. She's almost completely lost in the kiss and how good it feels to haves Marley touching her, but she has to feel her too and oh, those new abs are such a huge turn on for Dani. Her hands move up and down her girlfriend's stomach, then to her back and pulling her closer.
A seductive growl was heard from Marley as one hand moves up the leg of Dani's shorts, wanting to get a good feel of the maroon haired woman's thigh before she moves the hand out of the shorts. Marley then moved Dani's shorts off, revealing her legs, which also would drive Marley insane with pleasure. She lowers herself to where she is at Dani's ankles, she starts kissing her leg from the ankle up her thigh, her lips staying longer with each movement.
It's getting harder to breathe for Dani as Marley move up her leg. She rests on her arms and watches the girl work her body like only she knows. When she gets to her thigh, Dani bites her lip hard and tries to grip the mattress. "Marls, please.." She says while trying to stop her hips from moving. "A-And your shirt, off." She loves how fit Marley is getting and she needs a better look at her muscle flexing.
Marley smirked and allowed her blouse to slip down her arms; her defined arms had a light glaze of sweat from the day's events. The brunette took more than great care of herself in terms of getting fit; Dani could write a long list of reasons why she loves Marley's abs and then some. Marley moves her hands behind her back and unhooks her bra, once it's off; she tosses it to the side and goes back to kissing her girlfriend.
Dani falls backwards and moans again; both from seeing Marley's half naked body and the sudden kiss. Her hands move along Marley's side and when the girl gives her enough room, she cups her breasts and massages them for a few long moments. She places her hands on the Marley's lower back and digs her fingers into the soft skin. Her hips begin to slowly move against the leg that pressed against her and she loses control over her voice and start to quietly moan.
Marley slowly undoes her pants, but doesn't push them down just yet; she stops the kiss and bites her lip. "Uh... You love me through and through, correct?" She asks somewhat nervously, not that she needed validation or anything.
"I do, I love you more than anything." Dani answers after opening her eyes.
"I've been hiding this from you..." Marley says before pushing her pants down to reveal herself wearing boxers, she blushes deeply at the fact that she's showing Dani this. "I like wearing boxers more than panties; it just feels comfortable on my thighs and stuff.." She looks away for a second. "Whenever we did it before, I wore panties so you wouldn't find me weird."
"Baby, no, look at me." Dani sits up and makes Marley look at her, "I'm your girlfriend and some day I'd be your wife, you don't need to hide anything from me or do something that you are not comfortable with." She shook the haze she had in her brain and now she's focused on Marley and speaks in a serious tone. "And you're so, so gorgeous to me.. These boxers only adding to it." She glance down, then back up and gives Marley a smile that says it all.
Marley slightly bites her lip. "Promise?" She asks.
"I promise. I love you for who you are, Marley Rose." Dani answers. "But you need to take them off now and go back to what you were doing." She says as one of her fingers trace Marley's abs.
"Yes, ma'am." Marley lays Dani down once again, now dabbing her tongue against her girlfriend's neck as she rids herself of her boxers. She starts grinding on Dani's leg, moaning out in pleasure.
Feeling Marley's wetness against her and the friction causing Dani to dig her fingers into the woman's shoulder and buck her hips in a fast pace. Her heart pounding fast as she's getting closer to her climax rather quickly. She's never loud in bed; while she enjoys hearing Marley's moans, she's usually panting and lets a few quiet moans escape. Unless it's been a while, then she's more vocal. Right now her eyes are closed and her body move in sync with her girlfriend's as she gives herself to the woman, fully trusting her.
"Oh, god.." Marley moans as her hips move at a faster rhythm, she raises Dani's upper body slightly to feel her embrace. She eventually gives in to her orgasm as she wraps one arm around Dani's head taking deep breaths.
Dani's hold on Marley tightens and a few seconds after her girlfriend, her body slightly shakes. She rests her head on Marley's shoulder to catch her breath, planting a few kisses on the soft skin, then lays her head on the mattress. "I already love living with you." She mumbles and opens her eyes.
Marley shifted her body to lie down on Dani, her head resting against the other woman's chest. "You're perfect." She says in a calmer tone.
Dani lazily smiles and doesn't say anything. She's comfortable in this embrace and the food probably already cold, so they can stay like this a little longer. All their hard work paid off; to start making their dreams come true in their own place is amazing. And it's going to get them ready for the next step in their relationship in the future. Though, right at this moment, the only thing they're thinking about is that they can stay in each other's arms as long as they want to, without anyone interrupting them.
A couple of days have passed since the moving and things were going pretty well for everyone. Dani and Marley got a nice couch and were busy with work, decorating the new place and getting used to living alone. Like promised, Dani kept in touch with her moms; although it wasn't face to face but via text and Skype. While the young women were busy starting their life, Santana and Rachel were having a rather normal, usual and not too stressful week. Since Rachel's doing great and receiving many offers, she has a few meetings every week to discuss potential projects and one with Quinn at the end of the week to examine them and decide rather to agree or politely decline. Today Rachel, together with Quinn, met with a producer who wants Rachel in his film. Not like many other meetings, that one went well. The women didn't show too much excitement, wanting to keep the upper hand, but it was the first offer that sounded good for both of them; interesting plot, strong character for Rachel to play, great pay and actual professionals to work with. When the meeting ended, they shook hands and Quinn told the man she'd let him know once there is a decision.
The two drove to Quinn's small office she got in the city and sat with two smoothies around the black table, "Well, Rachel, what are your thoughts about his proposition?" The blonde asks and leans back in her big chair.
"I don't know." Rachel sips her smoothie. "It seems like a good deal, being a superhero and stuff." She says. "But that kind of role requires like... Someone to not only look tough, but sexy for the eyes."
Quinn tilts her head and raising her eyebrow, "Please.. The producer himself came to us, he wants you." She says, "And I can go on and on about how hot you are-" She stops for a second, "-Don't tell Santana I said that." Quinn chuckles, "Anyway.. I can prove to you that people think you're sexy. It's you who need to be comfortable with it.."
"I don't know, maybe." Rachel shrugs. "The money is good and the role is even better, plus I know San would back me up 100%" She mentions.
"It's a good role and there are already talks about this project, very good ones." Quinn nods, "I think it's a really good opportunity for you, but take a few days to think about it and let Santana work her charm." She smiles and winks, "And we'll talk about it on Sunday."
The phone in the office rings and Quinn's secretary tells her it's Santana. Quinn tells her to transfer her and put the phone on speaker. "Lopez, did you miss me already?" Quinn giggles and takes a sip from her drink.
"Calm your tits, Quinnie, I only called to see if your meeting was over cause I needed to talk to Rach." Santana says from the other side of the line, sitting in her own office.
Rachel quickly grabs the phone from Quinn and presses it to her ear. "Babe?" She asks with a smile.
"Oh, here's the voice I wanted to hear." It's easily noticeable that Santana is smiling right now. "How was your meeting?"
"I got a good offer, like usual." Rachel says. "But this offer hit home for me, they want to make a Superwoman movie, like a true to comics film."
"That sounds like something you'd be into and would make your daughter happy." Santana laughs a bit. "Are you going to take it?"
"First of all, I'm not into comics!" Rachel threw one hand in the air. "Secondly, the comic book movies usually sexualizes the hero.." She mumbles.
Quinn is trying to keep herself busy, but she raises her eyebrow at that. She thought Rachel would take that, but now she's not that sure.
"Someone's cranky..." Santana says slowly, "I only watched some with Dani and you're right, but those movies are usually very good." She points out. "You have many other offers; you don't have to take it.. Maybe tell Quinn to focus to screen certain offers, so you won't go to tons of meeting for nothing." She takes a short pause, "Besides, I'm the only one allowed to drool over you."
"I think Quinn is thinking about that, or the idea of me in tights makes her dandy." She jokes. "But me being a superhero... In general is.. Wow."
"Oh, shut up you." Quinn says and throws a pen at Rachel, "And please end the call.." She looks back at her computer. She's thankful she can't hear Santana's side, because while Rachel can tease a little, Santana has no problem expressing herself in a very explicit way.
"Well, everyone knows you're gorgeous, but no funny business." Santana playfully warns, "And yeah, babe, you'd be amazing as a superhero." She smiles even though Rachel can't see her. "And now I have that picture in my head that I almost forgot why I called.."
"Well, I have a week to come up with an answer, so we can talk in more detail when I get home." Rachel moves the phone to the other ear. "Quinn wants me to hang up; even though she forgets that I paid for the space here due to her working on the move." She smirks over at the blonde. "I love you, San."
"I didn't, I just don't want to be present when you guys start to drift to a more private conversation." Quinn dryly states.
"Wait, babe, I wanted to remind you to get home early today." Santana's tone becomes sweeter, "We said we're trying again tonight.." She says a bit nervously.
Rachel was quick to wrap everything up with Quinn and the minor things she needed to do as a celebrity, now Rachel was focused on doing her wifely duties at home. She made it home before Santana and decided to get a little bit of romance going on by hooking up her iPod to the stereo, setting up candles, doing dishes, and to top everything off, she got dressed up all sexy for this moment with her wife. Rachel Barbara Berry-Lopez has never once been one to half-ass anything when it comes to doing what she loved, and this was no exception as she starts to set some rose petals leading up the stairs and into their room. When Rachel was in her room, she made sure to freshen up her memory on how "At-Home Insemination" worked, not that it was needed for her, but it definitely never hurt. Suddenly she heard a car door shut, she knew Santana was home, so Rachel in a swift motion grabbed her robe and ran down the stairs, covering herself up to hide the outfit she had on for Santana. Rachel lies on the couch, one leg over the other and she pretends to read a book.
Santana's day was pretty relaxed, which was perfect because being calm is a great factor when you are trying to get pregnant, especially the way she and Rachel are trying. She takes her bag and gets out of the car. She makes sure she locked it and makes her way to the front door. She's excited and still very optimistic, more and more as she gets closer. Santana search for her keys, then opens the door and closes it after she gets it. She walks inside and smiles when she sees her wife is already there. "Hey, Rach." She places her bag on the edge of the couch and steps closer.
"Hey?" Rachel asks with a smirk across her face. "I go through the trouble of making everything look spectacular, and spent a total of $20 to get the good incense from that shop you like..." She slowly crosses her arms. "For a 'Hey Rach'?" She asks before biting down on her lower lip. "I guess I should change out of this..." Rachel undoes the robe to reveal a hot pink corset with tiny lavender hearts going around the bikini line of the outfit.
Santana's jaw drops and she looks around, only now taking in everything Rachel has done. "Oh my God, babe, I'm so sorry." She drops to her knees and walks on her knees closer to her wife. "The place smell and look amazing and you..." She bites her lip. "I just saw you and wanted to get to you that I didn't see anything. I'm sorry, everything is perfect, and you are perfect." She feels really bad that Rachel went through all this trouble and she practically ignored it.
Rachel keeps her smile, adoring how much her wife tries in their marriage. "Don't apologize; I was kidding about the nagging." She says before reaching her hand out. "I'm sorry for being selfish, this night is mainly about you... I need to get you pregnant." In all honesty, Rachel wanted to feel weirded out by the fact she said that, but she was right in the fact that she was going to stimulate Santana to make her be able to accept the insemination.
"Honey, look around, what you did here is not something a selfish person would've done." Santana takes Rachel's hand and kiss it. "Tonight is all about us, we are trying to have a baby and-" She licks her lips, "-You're going to get me pregnant, I don't care how many times we have to try." They can't know when Santana would actually get pregnant, so they try to make it special every time; setting the mood, making love and cuddling. Doing it at home make it more emotional and personal, not only for Santana, but for them as a couple and have Rachel make more connected to everything. "I love you and you are so beautiful.. And God, that corset.." She lowers her eyes and fixed them on Rachel's body.
"Remember..." Rachel sits up a bit. "I can't move my tongue or fingers inside of you that could ruin the insemination." She reminds Santana when she notices that Santana's eyes are fixed on her body; she chuckles in a low tone. "I think we should start a little something, don't you think?"
"I was only appreciating your beauty." Santana grin and looks back up. "I'm ready to start a little something," She leans closer to Rachel and pecks her lips, "Should we move it upstairs?"
Rachel sits up, spreading her legs some and scoots a little closer to Santana, leaning down to fully kiss her lips, keeping it going for a few seconds then she pulls away. "Yes, yes, we should."
Santana taps Rachel's nose and stands up, "Come on, my lovely wife, we're going to make a baby!" Santana chuckles and offers Rachel her hand. She looks at those brown eyes and all she sees is love and she admires Rachel so much for doing this and making it romantic.
Rachel gets up and pecks Santana's lips a couple more times, and then she takes Santana's hand and walks up the stairs, and into their room. Once they are inside, Rachel lets go of Santana's hand and walks to the desk, picking up the stereo remote and hitting a button on it. Slow R&B music was playing from downstairs, it was loud enough for them to hear it but not too loud.
"You thought about everything, huh?" Santana walks towards Rachel and pulls her into her arms. "It doesn't matter how many times I'm saying it, it doesn't feel enough. I love you." She says and rests her forehead on Rachel's. "You have such a beautiful soul." She starts kissing down Rachel's face, from her right temple to her cheek bone, her cheek and finally a peck on the lips.
"Well, I know you're going to be in an uncomfortable position for a little bit, so I want to make it enjoyable." Rachel grazes Santana's waist, gripping it every so often. "Also... You're more than beautiful to me, honey." She brushes her nose against Santana's.
Santana smiles and turns around, "Can you help me with the zipper, please?"
Rachel unzips Santana's dress, with every inch of exposed skin; Rachel lowers her body while kissing down Santana's back. "All done." Rachel looks up at Santana with a lip bitten smile.
Santana turns back around and slides Rachel's robe off and lets it drop to the floor, while keeping an eye contact with her wife. She starts undoing to corset as she place kisses on Rachel's neck. Only when she's almost done, Santana lets her eyes wander to her wife's body, but only for a few moments. She tugs the last item on Rachel's body, grins and bites her lip. She bends over a bit to be able to take it off and when it no longer in the way, Santana takes Rachel to the bed and sits on her side, giving Rachel an innocent look that mixture with lust and expectation.
"Okay, now prop your lower body on this." Rachel reaches under the bed to pull out a specialized pillow. "I bought this especially for the insemination, remember what to do?" She asks.
Santana nods and takes a big breath before lifting her hips up for Rachel to place the pillow under her. Although it's their third time doing it, Santana can't help but being nervous; she wants it to work so badly and for them to have another child. She squeezes Rachel's hand, then place one of her hands on her stomach and the other on the bed. She spreads her legs and wait, thanks to how Rachel set everything, it's much more relaxing.
Rachel places a kiss on Santana's lips. "Safety first, babe." She whispers before moving off the bed to get the syringe with everything in it, but before she grabs it she puts on some latex gloves. "I feel like a doctor whenever we do this." She jokes briefly as she walks to the bed, syringe in hand, she sits beside Santana and leans in a bit. Rachel takes the cap off then looks up at Santana. "Ready?" She asks.
The Latina has some tears in her eyes; this is it, they can be creating a life right now. "I'm ready, mi amor." She says and focuses all of her attention on Rachel. She married such a caring person and watching her doing this right now, makes Santana's heart almost burst from all the love she feels for her.
"Okay.." Rachel gulps, then carefully moves the syringe inside of Santana, then injects the contents. "They're in, now we have to wait a tiny bit so they can swim." Rachel gets off the bed to dispose of the gloves and syringe.
"You are the best.." Santana says and softly giggle at what Rachel said. "Can you come back to bed and cuddle with me while we wait?" She asks, feeling more and more emotional.
"Just a sec." Rachel walks to their bathroom to wash her hands, when she's done; she dries her hands then quickly walks back to the bed. "I know I had gloves on, but I wanted to be on the safe side." She crawls on the bed then scoots close to her wife. "Hi." Rachel nuzzles Santana's nose.
Santana smiles and feels her body calming down once Rachel lies next to her. "Hey, you." Her fingers just gently trace Rachel's back. "There is nothing you can't do perfectly." She says.
From that compliment, Rachel gives Santana a big smile. "Thank you, my lovely goddess." She returns the compliment.
"You know, I have a good feeling this time.." She glace at her stomach, then back to Rachel. "It felt more intense this time."
"Good." Rachel moves one hand on Santana's stomach. "I'll just have to make this more intense as well." She slowly slides her hand towards Santana's core.
"Oh, we know you're excellent at that." Santana says and pulling Rachel's face closer to her by placing her hand on the back of her neck. "I love you so much." She tells her wife and connects their lips for a slow kiss. Her chest rises up and down faster just from the excitement of having Rachel touching her and her hips already slowly moving.
Rachel returns the kiss as her hand continues to stroke at a slow pace, she lets out soft moans due to Santana's lips turning her on. She wraps one leg over Santana's and gently grinds.
Santana opens her eyes for a few seconds to just appreciate her wife. Her left hand just moving freely on Rachel's back, while the other cups her face to keep her close. Santana's hips are moving faster; she was kind of turned on when she came home, after thinking about what's on the agenda for the evening, then she got even more aroused seeing Rachel in that corset and now feeling her touching her so skillfully.. She's not going to last long.
Rachel lowers a bit to kiss at Santana's chest, her lips trail to Santana's right breast. Her tongue dabs against the nipple, twitching only slightly. Rachel's mouth covers the nipple as she gently sucks it, in the back of her head she knows she will have to savor this feeling, only because she won't be able to do this again for a little while.
"Y-Yes.. Oh, Rach, d-don't stop." Santana moans. Her all body reacts to what her wife is doing to her; her head is thrown backwards, her back arched and her hips rocking faster. She keeps in mind that it's not simply making love, they're trying to conceive, so she put all the love she has for Rachel and all her desire to get pregnant into it. One of her hands gripping the sheets, and the other Rachel's side. The hold becomes tighter as Santana gets closer to her orgasm. She gulps and keeps moaning, just a little bit longer and she's getting there. And Rachel is hitting all her sweet spots, getting her to the edge. Santana takes a few more breaths and then her body begins to shake as she releases. "Rach! Oh my.." Her body relaxes and she slowly opens her eyes to watch her wife.
Rachel takes a couple breaths and smiles at Santana. "Now we wait a month to find out..." She moves up to cuddle Santana as close as she could.
"God, it's too long.." Santana pouts and wraps her arms around Santana. "I just can't wait for us to have a baby and it'd be nice to have a child at home again." She says and looks at the ceiling. "Though being alone with you in this big house is a lot of fun." Santana giggles.
"Yeah." Rachel holds Santana closer. "My body still aches, I don't know why either." She says.
"Aches for me to touch you.." She starts very slowly, "Or do you need me to spoil you a little tonight?" Santana pulls Rachel up a bit so she could look into her eyes.
"Ow." Rachel whimpers a bit. "I don't think it's that kind of ache." She furrows her eyebrows. "I stopped going to the gym like you suggested, and I've been eating right.. I don't know why I'm feeling like this.."
Santana sits up, now the concern starts to kick in. "What exactly are you feeling, again?"
"It's hard to explain." Rachel carefully sits up. "My chest hurts the most out of everything," She frowns.
Without thinking, Santana sends her hand to the area between Rachel's breasts; it's not like her touch can do anything, but it was just an instinct. "You should check it out and sooner the better." Santana says and looks at Rachel with a serious expression. "You don't need to be in any pain, I'm sure our doctor will fix you up."
"I will get it checked out when I can." Rachel smiles at Santana. "Help me find my glasses, and then I can make us some food. Your favorite dish." she holds Santana's hand.
"Babe, maybe you should rest.." Santana says while looking around. "You did enough today. I can make us something."
"I don't half-ass things, babe." Rachel kisses Santana's cheek then scoots to the edge of the bed. "I went through the trouble to romance you, and dammit I will continue to do so."
"I don't know what I did to deserve you.." Santana says and gets up from the bed as well. "I'll quickly wash myself and come to assist you."
The rest the evening continues on the same romantic path. The couple had dinner and talked about their day and Rachel's movie offer. After, they took some fruits and went upstairs, to their room, there they read for a little while. Before it was getting too late, the couple turned the lights off, cuddled and went to sleep.
That was the first chapter.
Please tell us what you think and what you'd like to see in the future.
'till next time.
