Five months later found them standing in line for graduation.
"Alejandra Lopez-Berry." Alex tried to hide the smile and rising blush when she heard loud yells coming from the bleachers where her and Eveline's parents sat. She shook the peoples hand and when she turned to walk back to her seat, she caught Eveline's eye, as she mouth the words 'I love you.'
Speeches were made, honors were mentioned and when they announced the class of 2011, the room became a sea of raining hats, and that's when Alex made her move towards Eveline. While the blonde's back was turned away from her, she came up behind her and wound her arms around her.
"Hey beautiful." Eveline tensed when she first felt arms, but when her smell hit her, she immediately relaxed and turned her head to give the Latina a kiss.
"Hey hot stuff. Congratulations." Alex gave her another kiss before moving them towards the crowd walking out.
"Congratulations yourself. Now how bout we sattle on up and head on home where I can give you your graduation present." Eveline gave a low laugh, but when she caught Alex's eye, the hungry look that was reflected in her own was also in Alex's.
"I'd love to Ms. Lopez-Berry." Alex let go of her, and instead took her hand before leading them out the doors.
"Then right this way Ms. Fabray."

"Well that was exciting. Alex half hour before dinner." The Latina nodded, and lead Eveline up the stairs where she let go of her hand, to shuffle through her top dresser drawer.
"That was fast. Not even a second after I'm on your bed do you reach for the-" When Alex turns toward her with a little black box in her hand, all talk stops, and all eyes are glued to the box.
"Alex…" Alex slowly opens the box, and once the ring comes into view, Eveline has to hide her surprise with her hand.
"I know we're young, and just out of high school, but I think you know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are the only one for me. So Eveline Rébecca Fabray….would you be my wife?" Tears well up in the corners of blue eyes, but the smile that's across her face gives her away.
"Of course I'll be your wife." The smile that's on Alex's face now is hands down the biggest in her life, and she doesn't waste time taking the ring out of the box and slipping it onto a pale finger.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~
Eveline comes pounding down the stairs, and Rachel has to bite back a smile at knowing exactly why she is coming down so fast. And when Eveline comes racing into the living room where her family, and also Alex's is, she holds out her left hand and protrudes her ring finger out.
"Alex asked me to marry her!" Brittany gives a squeal, and Quinn looks a little uneasy, but she has a smile on her face.
"Lemme see! Lemme see!" León said as he tried jumping up and down to get a better look. Eveline just giggles and picks León up before settling him on her hip and holding her hand out for him to see.
He takes her hand into his tiny hands and looks at the ring from several different views before looking up at her.
"It's just a ring?" Everyone in the room gives a laugh.
"The ring shows she's taken buddy." Alex says as she comes up behind Eveline, wrapping her arms around the blonde in the process.
"Ohhhh….cool! But you should have gotten one sooner." Alex just messes up his hair before Eveline sets him down.
"Congrats sis." Lucas says from his spot on the couch next to Carmen, where he has an arm wrapped around her shoulders.
"Hands above the shirt." Alex says with a point, to which Carmen just scoffs and moves closer to him.
Alex turns to walk into the kitchen, where she was suddenly engulfed in a hug by her momma.
"I'm so happy for you Alex!" The Latina returns the hug for a few seconds before dropping her arms.
"I stopped hugging." Rachel just scoffed and gave her a few more seconds before letting her go. And next was Santana who stood in front of Alex, and for a second she though all she was going to get was a hand shake and a few words. But a smile broke out on her face, and not a second later she pulled her eldest daughter in.
"Good job kiddo."
Brittany had immediately engulf Eveline into a tight hug as soon as Alex had let her go, and only when Quinn had put a hand to her mate's back did she let go.
"Guess it would've happened sooner or later, but….I'm happy for you." Quinn's wide smile was all Eveline needed as an ok before she pulled her mom in for a hug.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~
The night began to dwindle to a close, with the chirping frogs now singing, and the lightning bugs lighting up the back yard. Alex couldn't think of a more perfect way to end a day. She had her mate, now fiancé, right next to her, and life was going good. Things couldn't get better for her.
"Love you Eveline." A blonde head rose from its spot on Alex's shoulder.
"Love you too Alex." She said before leaning up and capturing her lips in the first kiss of their soon to be adult lives.
