Chapter 2
I walked into Chuck E Cheese holding Emilio's hand and Hannah in my arms. I see people stop at look at my kids in awe because they are so damn cute it should be a crime. Emilio was like my spitting image. Black hair, tan skin, same eye brows, and even the same nose. The only thing he inherited from Quinn was her beautiful hazel eyes.
Hannah on the other hand was a tie. She had more of a tan complexion, but she wasn't as tan as Emilio or I. She had my nose, blonde hair, blue eyes, and Brittany's smile. Looking at her, you could definitely tell she was my child, but she looked so much like Brittany that people believe that she just spit her out.
"Hi, welcome to Chuck E Cheese." An overly happy teenage girl greeted at the door. She grabbed the stamp roller thing and gave Emilio and Hannah's right hand before stamping mine.
"Thanks." I smiled at her. We walked into the arcade area and I went in search of a table. There wasn't a lot of kids there today, but that made sense because it was a Wednesday at 7 at night, but all the same, it was still moderately busy.
"Mami, can we play the dragon game?" Emilio asks.
"Of course we can, but let's find a table first." I tell him and he nods happily. Hannah looks around excitedly at all the bright colors and a smile graces her face. I giggle at kiss her cheek which she then repeats. I love my baby girl.
"Hannah, are you excited? You see all the cool games?" I ask. The smile on her face gets bigger and she claps her hands together. I find us a table in the smaller kids area so I can watch them play and I set Hannah in the booth on her feet and Emilio follows.
"Okay, so do you guys want to play on the jungle gym first or play games?"
"Jungle gym!" Emilio cheered.
"Mami, me want ice cream." Hannah said softly. Hannah was a very soft spoken girl in public, but when she was at home she was very loud.
"ME TOO!" Emilio cheered and the couple that was sitting next to them smiled at the child's excitement.
"Okay, I'll get you guys ice cream in a minute, but Hannah do you want to go play on the jungle gym?" She nodded her head and I helped them both climb down from the booth. Emilio looked at the jungle gym before looking at me with a wild look in his eye.
"Can I go in there mommy?" I nodded and he bolted forward and into the play place. Hannah, however, took my hand and slowly waddled over to it.
"Han look! It's a pony!" I cheered looking at the small horse they had beside the jungle gym. She cheered excitedly so I placed her on its back and put a token in the slot making it move slowly. As she was riding I looked over at Emilio who was running around with two other small boys. He makes new friends so fast that it actually worries me that he's too friendly.
"Adam!" I hear being yelled across the play place and I follow the voice. Standing there is a tall, blonde man with a huge mouth.
"Yeah dad?" One of the boys that were playing with Emilio called back.
"It's time to eat." The man smiled. He then walked back over to what I assumed was his table. Sitting there with him was a thick, dark skinned lady that had a big smile on her face and an outrageously beautiful woman that was laughing at something the darker woman had said. As she turned her head she caught my eye and smiled at me. I quickly adverted my gaze back onto my daughter and watched as she giggled happily at her pony ride.
"Santana?" I hear my name being called and I whip around only to see my good friends Kurt and Blaine standing there.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" I ask. They've been together for a while, but they don't have any kids.
"My boss' son's party was here. It just ended." Blaine answered while Kurt ignored my question and picked Hannah up and gave her a million kisses.
"Uncle Blaine!" Emilio cheered running over and hugging Blaine's legs.
"Hey buddy! How's my favorite nephew?" Blaine asked.
"Great! Mami taked me to see the Avengers!"
"Took Emilio, not taked." I corrected.
"Yeah, she took me."
"That's awesome! I saw it yesterday. Do you like it?"
"Yeah! The Hulk is so big and strong, and mami said that if I drink milk I can be that strong too. So I drink lots of milk every day!" Emilio told him.
"That's right!" I stated proudly.
"Uncle Kurt, my mom sayed that she wants you to make her a pretty outfit for her party on the weekend."
"She did? Did she tell you what color she wanted?" Kurt asked.
"No, she sayed that you were a ge-nous." Emilio's face scrunched up at the word that he didn't know how to say at my heart melted. That was the exact face my dad makes when he doesn't understand something.
"A genius?" I ask.
"Yeah, what mami said!" He smiled.
"Okay, I'll be sure to give her a call." Kurt told him.
"Hey, you guys want to hang here with me?" I ask my two best friends.
"Yeah, we have nowhere to be. Actually we were just about to call you to see if we could come over." Blaine chuckled.
"Cool. So if you guys don't mind keeping an eye on them, I'm gonna go order us some pizza."
"Not at all. Take your time." Kurt beamed. He loved being alone with my kids because he said it gives him practice with his future kids.
I walked over to the cash register and I saw the same beautiful woman from by the play place. She caught my gaze again and blushed making my blush too.
"I'm sorry to stare, but you're so beautiful." I turn even darker red and look away at how lame that was.
"Thank you. You're definitely beautiful too." She replied.
"Thanks. I'm Santana by the way." I say holding out my hand.
"Rachel." She shakes my hand and blushes again.
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too. I don't often meet sane people in Chuck E Cheese." She giggled.
"Too true, but I actually like this place." I laugh.
"Oh yeah? You like touching all the games and rides that all the children leave their germs all over? I think I'll take back the sane part." She joked. I laughed and shook my head.
"I'm just kidding. Were those your kids over there?" She asks and I nod.
"They're very cute. Your son is very outgoing. My nephew Adam says that he is, and I quote, 'the coolest person ever'" Rachel giggled.
"That would be my son. He gets it from me." I joke.
"I bet he does." Rachel smiled. Was she flirting with me?
"Do you have any children?"
"No, but I want some in the future. Right now I'm focusing solely on my career, and I think that a child will be a distraction." She replied honestly.
"What do you do?"
"I'm on Broadway."
"Really?! That's awesome. Anything I would know?" I ask.
"My Funny Girl redemption will be playing in about two weeks. It's a six month play so you should come see it one night." She suggests.
"Oh I think I will. Now, I'll be looking for Rachel…?"
"Berry. Rachel Berry."
"So Rachel Berry. The girl with the amazing eyes, beautiful face, and memorizing laugh."
"Just wait till you hear me sing." She winked.
"Oh yeah? So Ms. Rachel Berry, can I have your number?" I flirt.
"Only if I can have yours." She giggled.
"Of course. Give me your phone." She hands me her phone and I type my information in. After saving it I call my phone from hers.
"There." I say and give her back her phone. She types a few things and smiles.
"Okay, Ms. Santana Lopez." Rachel smiled.
"Yup. How about I call you tonight around like 9 and we can talk some more?" Rachel's smile widened.
"Sure! I'll be waiting for the call." She winked before walking away. I couldn't help but to stare after her. After I snap out of my gaze I walked over to the register and place my order. Rachel Berry is still fresh on my mind.

Rachel's POV
I'm sitting in my apartment after my shower waiting for Santana to call. I look at the clock and I notice that it's 9:22 and I'm starting to think she doesn't really want to call me. Ever since I laid eyes on her at Chuck E Cheese, I can't get her out of my mind. She's crazy beautiful and really good with her kids.
My phone rang suddenly and I pressed the answer button without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I heard a familiar voice say.
"Hey." I smile.
"Sorry I'm so late, but I had to put my daughter to sleep. She was really fussy." She apologized and I couldn't help but to feel silly for being so impatient. She was putting her daughter to sleep, Rachel. Stop being so stupid.
"It's totally okay. Your kids come first." I giggle.
"Yeah, so I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with me tomorrow night? I know this amazing barbeque place downtown." She said.
"Oh…barbeque?" I say hesitantly. If I tell her I'm a vegan will she think I'm weird and not ask me on a date?
"Yeah, do you not like barbeque?" She giggled.
"Um…I'm a vegan."
"Oh. That's cool. I know a vegan place in SoHo."
"Really?"
"Yeah, did you think that I would think that you were some type of freak because you care about your diet? I actually think it's kind of adorable."
"Seriously?" My heart melted.
"Yeah. I like girls that like to be healthy. It shows they want to be around for a while."
"I guess you can say that." I giggled.
"So, Ms. Rachel Berry, should I pick you up at 8?"
"Yes you should. I live on 19th street, in the condos by the Megaplex. You know them?" I ask.
"Know them? I live in them!" I heard her say.
"What? Really?"
"Yeah, I'm sitting in them right now. I live on the fourth floor."
"I live on the third. Which condo is it?" I ask walking out of my condo and into the elevator.
"14. Why?" She asks as the elevator opens. I walk to condo 15 and knock on the door. "Hold on, someone's at the door." She sighs and I hear shuffling on the other end. The door swings open and I see her standing there. She is even more beautiful than I remember.
"Hey." I giggle.
"Wow, you made it here fast." She chuckles pressing end on her phone.
"Well you live about thirty seconds away from me." I say.
"That may come in handy." She winks and my face instantly turns red.
"It may. But I'll see you tomorrow at 8, Santana." I wink and start to walk towards the elevator when I feel an arm gently grab mine and pull me back.
"Wait, I just want to say that you look really beautiful." She blushes.
"Santana, I'm in sweats."
"So? You still look like a supermodel." She says and kisses my cheek. She lets go of the gentle grasp she has on my arm and smiles at me.
"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Rachel. Oh, and which condo is yours?"
"12." I say and she nods. As I make my way back to my condo I can't but feel extremely excited for tomorrow. This is the start of something amazing. I can feel it…

So I think this story is on the right track. This is the only thing I've been thinking about lately and I'm falling in love with it!
Anyone watching this season of Glee? I think Santana needs to come fast because Sam is moving in on her girl and she ain't gonna like that. So Santana, if you're reading this, get back to Lima before trouty mouth swallows your girl whole. Lol. That's all folks!
Until Next time,
