Once Santana's mom knew that Brittany was staying for dinner, she made bowtie pasta with meat sauce. It was Brittany's favourite, mainly because she'd thought it was like 'edible clothes'.

All four of them sat down and started eating right away.

Santana kept stuffing her mouth full of pasta so that she didn't have to say much (for now), while Brittany took it as a race, so she quickly joined in on the face stuffing. Santana's parents on the other hand couldn't help but smile and chuckle at the two girls, they'd been friends for years, so anytime Brittany joined them for dinner it made for a very fun night.

It wasn't until Mr. Lopez got out the ice cream that Santana finally spoke up.

"Um… Brit and I wanted to talk to you guys about something." Santana had never seemed so shy in her life.

"Sure honey, is something wrong?" Mrs. Lopez replied, noticing how nervous Santana was.

"No. I mean, I don't think so. It's just that, um… I- we wanted to tell you that we're, uh…" Santana knew she needed to spit it out, she just didn't know how.

"Did something happen at school?" Santana's father asked, cluelessly.

"No." Santana replied firmly.

"Glee club?" Her mother now joined in on the guessing game.

"No, it has nothing to do with that. I'm just trying to tell you that… I… I-"

"I'm dating your daughter" Brittany finally added, in a firm, serious voice.

Santana couldn't believe how fast Brittany was able to say it.

The house fell silent for a minute, which to Santana felt like a year.

The silence eventually got to her and she took it in the worst way possible.

They hated her and the idea of them together disgusted them. They were going to kick her out; just like Quinn's parents had when they found out their daughter was pregnant.

Santana had no idea what to do, she felt the need to apologize, but she didn't know why.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Tears were falling from her eyes, as Brittany held her hand under the table.

"What are you sorry about, you've done nothing wrong. You love who you love. I thought you would've realized that we'd love you no matter what." Her father stated, before continuing. "We're your parents and that's what parents do, we accept." Mr. Lopez added.

Santana couldn't believe it and neither could Brittany. Their chins were nearly on the ground, until it finally hit Brittany.

"Awesome! So what kind of ice cream is that?" Brittany asked, not truly realizing how important what had just happened was.

"It's strawberry dear" Mrs. Lopez replied.

"Really? Just like that?" Santana asked, she'd never been so astonished.

"Just like that, I mean nothing's changed. You're still the same person you've always been. Still the person we raised you to be. Besides, we already kind of knew." Mr. Lopez returned.

"Wait. What?" Santana couldn't believe what she'd just heard. She was sure her parents had never seen her with Brittany in a way that would make them think they were somehow together.

"I mean, it doesn't really take a genius. You two have been inseparable for years. I've never actually heard you mention Brittany having a boyfriend - or girlfriend for that matter - and all of your past relationships seemed to end after a day or two.

Santana knew that was true. She'd 'dated' Puck, but that was for social ranking, nothing more. Then there was Sam and she knew from the start that that was going nowhere. Of course there were others, but they all seemed fake, nothing like what she has right now.

"So the only person that's ever really been around is Brittany and it's obvious that you care for each other." Her father stated, before adding to his statement. "I'm actually happy you two are together."

"Yeah, me too" Her mother added in complete agreement.

"Me three!" Brittany added, now eating a bowl of ice cream.

Santana leaned over and gave Brittany a loving peck on her shoulder. She wasn't ready to kiss her girlfriend in front of her parents, that still seemed too awkward.

"Get a room you two!" Mrs. Lopez shot back jokingly.

Santana couldn't help but chuckle. Her parents knew, they were supportive and now this was truly one of the greatest days of her life.

"This ice cream is really good!" Brittany concluded, with her eyes crossed looking at the end of the spoon filled with pink - semi melted - ice cream, which was in front of her lips.

It was nearly 10 P.M. by the time Brittany and Santana had reached the last few moments of 50 First Dates. They'd both seen the movie several times, nevertheless Brittany still cried during the last part.

"It's just so cute! I mean, she remembers him. How amazing is that?"

"Pretty amazing." Santana replied, clearly distracted by Brittany's presence. "You know what's even cuter and more amazing?"

"You?" Brittany shot back quickly.

"Hey, you stole my punch line!" Santana exclaimed in amusement.

"Yeah, well you stole my heart." Brittany added with a sweet grin on her face.

"Haha, wow! Cheesy much?" Santana said, smiling with her tongue wedged between her upper and lower teeth.

"Only for you, babe." Brittany replied, leaning in for Santana's lips.

Santana quickly returned the favor and before they knew it, the credits of the movie were rolling and Santana's parents had turned off the lights upstairs.

Santana stood up from the couch where they were cuddled.

"Ready to go to bed, my darling?" Santana asked, reaching out her hand playfully to guide her girlfriend.

"I thought you'd never ask." Brittany quickly returned, joining in on the act.

They both headed upstairs to bed, to sleep - and only sleep - Santana wasn't about to get her freak on with her parents in the room next door.

A/N: I really wanted to keep it light in the 'coming out department', especially when it came to the parents (at least for my first fan-fiction). Please enjoy and thanks again for all of the feedback, I never once expected this to happen. So truly thanks, Abi.
