Santana walked through the front door and trough her bag onto the Parquet flooring in the spacious hall.

"Good, your home mija! How was your day?"

"Fine I guess" the young Latina shrugged as she followed her mother into the large kitchen and went straight to the refrigerator to retrieve a cold can of diet coke.

"I have some news. We are going to Florida to visit your grandparents. I have just got off the phone and the whole family is gathering next week". Santana had a rare bemused look on her face. They had never to her knowledge visited her grandparents in the past seventeen and a years. She was aware that her father and grandfather were not on the best of terms but the details of their family feud had never been revealed.

"Well I guess I don't have a choice" Santana left her mother and made her way up stairs. This really was a crap start to the summer break.

Santana walked into the kitchen an hour later following the smell of roasting chicken. Her mother was busying herself dressing a salad and placing steaming fresh hot bread on the table. Santana's mother was a very attractive lady with thick black hair cut to shoulder lengh. Her hazel eyes sparkled to match her wide smile. Santana was in awe of her mother's beauty but was secure enough to know that she had been blessed with her genes.

Looking over to her father she smiled. "Hello daddy" she said happily watching him fold up his news paper and remove his spectacles.

"Hello beautiful. How was your last day of term?"

"It was fine".

As her mother started to place the dinner on the table Santana started her nightly ritual. Santana loved to ask her father about his work. As a general surgeon and a very well respected one at that she delighted in hearing about the stranger surgeries that her father preformed. She respected her father's job and knew how lucky she was that both her parents had always made time for her.

"Did you have any interesting patients today?"

"Unfortunately not, no pre dinner gruesome details I'm afraid, all very run of the mill today".

"Thank goodness" Mrs Lopez placed the large bird on the table and passed the carving knife to her husband. As he cut into the white steaming flesh of the chicken he briefly looked over to the young Latina. "So, are you looking forward to finally meeting your grandparents again? I think you were five when they visited here last?"

Santana shrugged as she helped herself to some salad although the sad look on her mother's face didn't escape her notice. "Yeah, I guess I am, and mami said the whole family should be gathering so it will be nice to meet them too".

"It can be quite an intimidating place; I thought you might like to invite Brittany? We'll only be there for a week and she is as good as family" Maria said warmly.

A beaming grin swept across the young girls face. "Would that be ok?" excitement already brimming within.

"Of course..."

The small family chatted about their week as they ate the delicious meal and Santana blushed, her eyes begining to tear slightly when her parents presented her a white gold and diamond necklace for her outstanding grades this term. After finishing the last crumb of apple pie Santana excitedly excused herself to call Brittany to see if she would like to join her family in Florida and to fill her in on her newly acquired bling.


Walking out of the main Miami airport terminal the travelling party were immediately hit with the Florida heat. With three trolleys piled high with cases the two younger girls and Dr Lopez negotiated their way through the crowd, Mrs Lopez happily leading the way. As they weaved through the large volume of tourists a grey haired man approached them wearing a grey suit, a white shirt and a thin black tie. He looked to be around sixty years old with a lightly tanned complexion and soft features.

"Ms Maria" the southern voice rang though the crowd.

Santana's mother looked over before hugging the man smiling "Robert? It's lovely to see you 're not still working for my father are you?"

"Well, you know he couldn't survive without me" Robert laughed

Following some rushed introductions Robert led the family to a shining black stretched limousine before opening the door for them whilst he placed the luggage in the boot. Santana looked at Brittany and giggled. "I've never been in a limo before" the shorter girl said looking at her mother trying to figure out why they were not just getting a hire car. The drive took about an hour through the city traffic, the girls excitedly investigating their new ride and occasionally looking out of the window at the passing tall palm tree's, high rise buildings and huge docked cruise ships.

The black stretch slowed as it turned approaching a pair of large black gates, flagged each side with tall hedges and posts with camera's scanning the entrance. The gates opened automatically and the car crawled up the winding drive until the sound of gravel under the tyres could be heard and the large white mansion came into view.

Santana's eyes grew wide.

"Are we staying at a hotel?" Brittany asked innocently looking at Santana who in turn looked at her mother.

"No mijas, this is where your grandparents live. This is where I grew up". Santana could see a look of nostalgia in her mother's eyes but a quick look to her father showed her he was anything but comfortable. Looking back out of the window she tried to take in the large house they had arrived at.

Santana and Brittany followed Dr and Mrs Lopez up the steps towards the impressive front door. Large urns lined the steps and the smell of cut grass and flowers filled the humid air. Before they could tug the large bell pull the door opened and a short maid motioned them through into the foyer. Santana and Brittany looked around the large space, taking in the impressive art that adorned the walls, the sweeping staircase that split and wrapped around the room, the beautiful occasional table with a vast flower arrangement and the intricate tiled floor beneath their feet. Santana felt nervous for the first time on the trip. She was about to meet her grandparents for the first time in years and although she was bitter at the way they had treated her parents part of her wanted some form of acceptance from them.

Before Brittany or Santana could ask any questions or verbalise their observations of the grand house so far a rotund lady scuttled up to them throwing her arms around Santana's mother and kissing both of her cheeks. Brittany couldn't follow the frantic conversation in Spanish but she very quickly realised it must have been Mrs Lopez's mother. Before the family could be introduced a very stern looking man walked calmly down the stairs towards the group. He had lightly tan weathered skin, greying hair yet he was completely bald on top, a neatly trimmed grey beard and dancing blue grey eyes. He held his arms out and took hold of Mrs Lopez before pulling her gently into a hug, like his wife kissing both of her cheeks.

"Maria, it is so good to see you. Your mother and I have missed you so much". He looked over his daughters shoulder as he spoke; his eyes locking onto the beautiful Latina that stood looking nervously upon the scene.

"Hello papa" Mrs Lopez sounded like a young girl as she spoke. As she pulled away from the embrace she turned to face her daughter. "I guess Santana has grown a little since you last saw her" she laughed nervously. "And this is her friend Brittany".

Brittany remained mute as she struggled to find any words for this spectacularly awkward meeting. Before Santana had a chance to react she felt two strong wrap around her "Oh, little Santana it is so good to see you. You are so beautiful, just like your mother at your age. Welcome, welcome" Lucia gushed kissing the younger girl on both cheeks repeatedly. The older man started to usher the family into the main reception room.

Santana's father finally spoke, shaking each of his in-laws by the hand. "Carlos, Lucia, it is very good to see you both again. I trust you are well?"

"We are both very well thank you Juan"

Seated on the sofa was Maria's younger sister Aria. "It is so good to see you" she said with a tear in her eye as she hugged her older sibling.

"it is good to see you too. Where are your family? I have been so looking forward to meeting my niece and nephews"

Santana's head shot up – she has cousins? How did she not know this? How old are they? Watching the exchange intently she heard that her uncle had taken the three children for a walk to tire them out and should be back any time. Santana and Brittany were introduced to Aria and she appeared to be a nice lady despite lacking the twinkle in her eye like her older sister. Finally with a much needed ice cold drink the newly acquainted family sat and chatted about very little of any importance. Santana and Brittany almost disappearing into the corner of the room as they sat as close as possible on a sofa in a large bay window petting two dogs that had immediately befriended the tall blonde.

The silence was soon broken as three small children filed into the room looking exhausted. After Aria introduced James her husband and her three children Camille, Santos and Samuel to the group the children were taken to bed and the Lopez clan were shown to their rooms.

Santana and Brittany walked into the massive guest suite on the third floor, their luggage already sat neatly against a wall. The room was dominated by a large four poster king size bed, draped in light linen fabric. It was a very traditional room yet it was light and had a friendly and cosy feel to it. Brittany immediately jumped on the bed, bouncing to ensure the mattress was up to newly found exacting standards. Santana took a quick look about the room; the impressive en suite boosted a large shower and a roll top cast iron bath. The walls and floor were tiled in light marble and on a small chair was a large stack of soft white towels.

Santana joined Brittany on the bed, wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist and pulling her into a tight hug. "I'm sorry about the awkward family time. Hopefully tomorrow we can go to the beach or something...".

Brittany cut Santana off with a kiss. "How about we get our sweet lady kisses on before supper?" Brittany asked the Latina who didn't need to think twice about the request.


Santana took Brittany's pinkie as they walked into the reception room that they had sat in earlier that afternoon. They could hear voices and as they approached Santana's grandfather cheered loudly. "Ah, perfect. Santana, Brittany I would like to introduce you to Calliope and Arizona".

Callie and Arizona smiled warmly and walked over to personally greet the younger girls. Shaking hands "Call my Callie" the stunning Latina said, sporting the most dazzling smile that either girl had ever seen.

"It's really nice to meet you" Santana shook her hand and genuinely relaxing for the first time in the large house.

"Arizona, that a really cool name" Brittany chipped in with a smiling. Santana looked longingly at her tall blonde, 'so Callie's smile is a close second' she thought.

Just at that point Santana's grandfather joined in the conversation standing between his youngest daughter and her attractive blonde with the kindest smile and the cutest dimples in her cheeks. Both women looked effortlessly elegant in jeans and loose fitting camisoles.

"I bet you can't figure out why she is named Arizona?" Carlos looked proudly the two women.

"Ice tea?" Brittany asked innocently.

Callie giggled affectionately "that is priceless and it would make a really great story"

"it would make an awesome story" Arizona agreed.

"She was named after the battleship USS Arizona" Carols continued completely lost by the young blondes comment.

"Pearl Harbour?" Brittany asked

Santana and both her parents looked slightly shocked and their expressions didn't go unnoticed by the young dancer. Shrugging she looked back at Arizona "My grandpa served on the Arizona. He told me all about it when I was young and how he was rescued. He was amazing".

Before any response could be made a tall man in a black suit entered the room, bowing slightly. "Dinner is to be served"

"Ah" Carlos clapped his hands in the air "come, come we must eat before the travel exhaustion puts you all to sleep!"


The entire family walked through to the main dining room, a grand table set with sparkling glassware and perfectly polished silver cutlery. The table could seat twenty four with ease so the family all gathered at the top end, Carlos sitting at the head of the table. To his right sat his wife Lucia, then Juan, Maria, Brittany and Santana. To the left of Carlos were Aria, James, Arizona and Callie. Brittany breathed a small sigh of relief that opposite her was the kind face of Arizona. The tall butler that had called dinner circled the guests pouring the 2000 Torres Reserve Vintage Rioja. Callie subtly drifted her hand over her wine glass, continuing in the slightly stilted conversation. "Calliope, I've not seen you refuse wine with your meal since your eight years old!" her mother observed.

Callie and Arizona looked at each other before Callie turned back to the group "Well, we were going to wait until tomorrow when Diego arrives but we have some news". Grinning again at Arizona Callie couldn't control her smile "Arizona and I are going to have baby".

Arizona rested her left hand protectively on the minute baby bump; she beamed at the group before fearfully looking at Carlos.

The warmest smile either woman could ever expect to sweep over the patriarch of the family "Enhorabuena mija" Carlos stood and walked around to Callie and Arizona kissing them both. Lucia followed her husband's lead with a warm embrace for both girls.

"So if you are going to have a baby when are you going to make honest women out of each other?"

Callie spat the water that she had just sipped all over the table in front of her.

Arizona simply took Callie's hand "we'll see" then they looked at each other and shared a chaste kiss.

The Lopez family filled the room with heartfelt congratulations, Santana shot Brittany a slightly bemused looks. 'So Callie and Arizona are gay and everyone is cool with it?' Brittany on the other hand was not fazed in the slightest; looking over at Arizona "It's going to be a really lucky baby" she beamed to the older blonde.

The silence from Aria and James was noticeable and Callie looked over to her older sister with an agonizing look.

Not wanting to make a scene on their first night Callie took a deep breath and let it slide before she joined in the excited conversations. Brittany had engrossed Arizona in a deep conversation about importance of ducks in a baby's life and the paediatric surgeon appeared to be as enamoured by the feathered creatures as the dancer.


It was barely nine thirty when all the house guests made their way to their respective rooms. Callie led Arizona to her old bedroom on the third floor, their fingers entwined as they lost themselves in having just broken the baby news to Carlos and Lucia. Santana and Brittany followed the two surgeons slightly disorientated by the vast maze of hallways. As Callie and Arizona passed the only other bedroom door on that floor she looked over at the younger pair.

"I was really nice to meet both of you. If you need anything our room is just at the end of the hall or you can dial 69 on the phone and it will come through". Arizona looked at Callie "What, my parents never understood and it amused me!" Shaking her head Arizona hugged the two younger girls and wishes them goodnight efore departing.

Callie lounged on the large king size bed in her childhood bedroom. It was dramatically decorated with a strong black and red theme, apparently decorated during a time of teenage angst, yet the textures of the fabrics and the brocade pattern on the wallpaper added softness and a homely feel.

"So Santana and Brittany make a really cute couple" Arizona starts as she climbed into the bed next to her pregnant girlfriend, relishing the feeling of the freshly laundered linens on her bare feet.

"I think they are just friends. From what I have heard Santana takes after Diego, apparently she is a bit of a player"

"Well, I think she takes after her Aunt Callie and has a thing for awesome blondes. Nobody looks at their 'friend' like that".

Arizona stretched over and kissed the raven haired beauty before shuffling down the bed and rolling onto her side.

Callie mirrored the blonde's actions and wriggled down the bed until her face was merely inches away from Arizona's soft pink lips.

"How about we make it interesting? If in the next week we find out they are in a relationship you have to make Mark give us back the spare key to the apartment and if you're right I will..."

"Grant me three wishes?"

Arizona smiled. "I will grant you three wishes".

Leaning forward slightly to capture Callie in a kiss Arizona nibbled on the Latina's lower lip before releasing it and breathing heavily next to the brunette's ear. "How about you show me the advantages of you choosing a bedroom as far away from the rest of the house as possible?
