Summary : Rachel lost her husband and never once thought about love. She was busy with her four kids and lived with memory of her love, until she bumps into Santana. Santana is a self-made billionaire who'd been unlucky in love untilshe met Rachel.

A/N: Sorry it took me some time to update, I had a family matter to do – so enjoy the chapter! Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.

The next day they spent Easter i their own way with their own families. Although, Santana had to get her daily dose of Rachel, she had to call her on the web phone and ask permission to stop by for a little while. That broke the tradition a bit, but a change that was welcomed by Rachel. Rachel gave her directions to her parents' place and told Santana to meet them there, of course this was after asking the kids if she could come and break a little of their tradition. They all agreed, even Tony who hesitated just a little bit.

"Hi," Santana said with a huge smile as Rachel opened the door to her parents' house.

"Hi, yourself," she answered and then gave her a well deserving kiss for the smile that greeted her.

Santana gave her a little package and walked in. As usual, the twins ran up and jumped on her excitedly. It was becoming a custom for them. They already believed her with their mom, but it was still a secret between just the two of them. Santana returned their kisses happily. She too had grown very fond of the two. She only hoped that Tony and Ally would accept her as the twins have. Ally still had her moments, but not as much as Tony. She was still on a polite, but on a more comfortable basis with Santana, while Tony was still on a polite basis.

"Come meet Papa and Grandpa," Jay and Kay both told her while pulling her hand towards the backyard. The backyard was not as big as Santana's parents', but it was full of flowers, herbs and vegetables, play area and gathering place with a barbecue grill. "Papa, Grandpa look who's here?"

"Hello, Mr. Berry, Mr. Berry," Santana greeted them as she extended her hand. Hiram pushed her hand aside and gave her a hug.

"So, you're the one that brought a smile back on my Rachie's face?" He whispered. "Welcome to the family."

"Hey," Lerroy practically screamed while he took Santana's hand and gave it a "manly" shake. "It's about time you came by, I was beginning to think Rachie made you up, but then I'd be lying. Ain't seen that girl this happy in many years."

It was Rachel's turn to become embarrassed. She was turning red all over.

"It's really a pleasure to meet you both. Thank you for letting me stop by on short notice."

"Oh, please. Easter is all about spending time with family and people you care about." Hiram replied. "And, don't be so formal. You can call me dad."

"And you can call me other dad or whatever you'd like." That brought laughter in the room. "Might as well get used to it huh?"

Tony didn't like what he was overhearing. But he just remained quiet at his little corner. How could they dismiss my dad so easily? These people just welcomed a total stranger into their house and asked him to call them that. What does Santana have over them? His resentment was mounting once more. His encouter with Santana wasn't that bad yesterday, but today to have his grandparents just welcome her into the family with open arms was too much. Of course, Santana noticed the way he was rolling his eyes and so did Rachel and Blaine. They were all just waiting to see what he was going to do. "Why don't we go into the dining room and eat?" Hiram asked, "Everyone, come along. Let's all say grace before we eat shall we? Darling, why don't you lead the prayer." He asked Leroy. Leroy obliged.

After the meal, Blaine asked Santana to help Tony and himself with hiding the eggs in the backyard. They had different color eggs with pastel colors and creative decorations. Others had rainbow colors and there were also plastic eggs with surprises inside. Since only the twins were the only ones who do the egg hunting those days, they didn't make as much as they used to.

"Blaine, do you mind if I ask you something?" Santana asked as they walked, while Tony stayed at a distance from them.

"Sure, go ahead. Did my sister do something weird already?"

"No, nothing like that. It's just that she and Tony had mentioned something we had in common."

"Oh, yeah. Besides being awesome, tan and devilishly handsome?" he joked.

"Well, that's true," she joked back. "But that wasn't it. They told me all I had to do was say fiance and you would know what I am talking about." Santana saw the murderous look in Blaine's eyes. She finally understood what Rachel and Tony meant even before she heard Blaine's aswer.

"Did you catch your fiance cheating on you too?" He asked half jokingly with a slight sound of anger.

"As a matter of fact, yes." That took Blaine by surprise. He didn't understand why anyone would cheat on someone as successful and good looking as Santana.

"You're kidding right?"

"Very serious. I think I had the same look that I just saw in your eyes when I said fiance about ten years ago."

"Well, the incident happened a few months ago and I can't let it go."

"Believe me, it's hard. It took me a while to finally get over it, built a good business in the process. But, I don't think I would recomend what I did to anyone else." They both sat on the ground next to the cherry tree.

"Why is that?"

"It was a lonely world. True, I had my family, but I didn't have anyone worth sharing my life with, of course until I bumped into your sister."

"So, what do you recommend?"

"Well, there is one thing. Forget about the man and move on. He's not worth wasting your anger on. You'll lose a lot of time focusing on your hurt and anger, that you may lose sight of what really matters to you. I think I would have lost my family had they not been patient and truly hopeful that I will someday heal and find someone to make me happy."

"Well, I think I did find someone who make me happy and would have made my whole world wonderful. Like the way you feel about Rachel." Tony started moving closer trying to hear what these two people are saying.

"Yeah, what happened?" They both noticed Tony and asked him to have a seat next to them.

"Well, I haven't really thought about him in a while until I saw your face the day you picked Rachel up on your first day. I was so engulfed in my hate and anger. Before the incident I used to think of her quite often even whe I had decided to marry. I know it's crazy, but to tell you the truth, I was a little relieved that my engangement was over. Tony, don't you dare tell your mom what I am telling you and Santana right now. She doesn't eve know about him or maybe she had a feeling there was something wrong when I came back from an assignment a few years back, but I didn't tell her then, and I don't think I can tell her now. So this is between us."

"Promise Uncle Blaine."

"You have my word on that Blaine. Have you tried looking for this man?"

"I have. I've tried calling the last phone number I had of him and it was disconnected. I even stopped by his apartment once and he's not there anymore. it's like he just dropped from the face of the earth."

"I have some connections, would you like me to try?"

"I've tried my connections too, and they couldn't find him."

"You know Blaine, I am positve as I am sitting her next to you and Tony, that you will find hi one of these days. Maybe it's not the right time yet. You need to work through this anger first and one day, out of the blue he's going to be right in front of you. Fate has its way of working out for the best for all of us. Believe me, I am living proof. I thik if I hadn't bumped into Rachel at the restaurant when I did, I would have become one of those grumpy scrooges." Tony was again regaiing his positive feelings for Santana.

"Didn't you almost lose my mom?"

"That was pure stupidity on my part. But like I said, fate has its way of working out for the best. If we weren't meant to meet again, she wouldn't have been in my office that day to take my picture."

"So you two believe in fate?"

"I do, I don't know about Blaine. I believe there is someone out there for everyone and when you find that person, it's almost like a revelation on your soul. Listen to me, I am starting to sound like my mami and papi."

"Do they believe in fate too?"

"Well, they believe in God and prayers. To them God is the one who basically planned out our fate, but our destiny will be determined by the choices we make. Our life is like a road that has many intersections and sometimes detours, but somehow converges into one big highway."

"That's the way my parents think too. They even say, sometimes the pavement on the road gets rough, but there are workiers who work on the road to make it smooth again. The workers are the angels in a sense. When I was younger, I never thought about those things, but as I get older I start to wonder. I wonder about the what ifs and look back on my life and think about how different my life would be now had I not made the decisions I made in those point in time. Of course, we can't o back and undo those decisions, but we can certainly leart from them."

"You two are getting too serious for me," Tony joked to lighten the mood. "Have you guys finished hiding the eggs? I think the twins are going to come out here soon."

"I'm on it," answered Blaine. He went on his way to hide the rest of the eggs.

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. I have to get going. I promised my parents I would at least be there before dinner."

"So, you won't stay and watch the twins look for the eggs?" asked Toy disappointed.

"I think maybe, I'll leave some traditions alone for now." She answered. She understood how sacred traditions were and she'd heard Rachel talk about how much Tony liked keepig traditions. Tony was surprised at his answer and his understand.

"Well, traditions can be altered," he offered.

"Maybe some other time, Tony. Thanks for offering though. It really means a lot to me." Santana answered and put her hand on Tony's shoulder. "I'd better get going. How do you feel about skiing?"

"Skiing is alright. I prefer snowboarding."

"Well, what about we all go next weekend?"

"Where? Snow is already melting."

"Ah, but not in Colorado."

"Are you serious!?"

"Very."

"That would be awesome!"

"Well, let's not get our hopes up. I still haven't asked your mom."

"I'm sure she'll say yes. She loves to ski."

"I will ask her. I'll let you know what she says."

"Okay. Well, I'll see you when I see you." Tony was a little more relaxed.

He finally noticed that Santana was making an effort to try to make friends with him, but careful not to overstep his bounds. He saw that Santana respected his mom and even if his mom said no, at least he knew that Santana wouldn't just make decisions without going through his mom.

As soon as Santana walked into the back door, the twins practically tackled her.

"Are the eggs hidden?" They shrieked.

"No, not yet, your uncle Blaine is hiding the rest of the eggs. I came in to say good-bye."

"Aw, you mean you're not going to help us ind the eggs," whined Kay.

"Sorry sweetie, I promised my mami and papi I would get back by dinner, so I have to o now."

"But who's going to help me find the eggs?" asked Jay.

"I'm sure your mom, papa or grandpa will help you. Even Ally can help you."

"Yeah, but they don't know where you hid the eggs," whispered Jay.

"And that's why I can't really help you cause then that would be cheating wouldn't it?"

"I guess, but Kay always finds more eggs than me."

"That's okay. Remember, today she might find more than you, but next time you might find more than her. Sometimes we can't all win at the same time. Okay."

"Oh, okay."

"Okay, so I'll see you two next time I visit?" She didn't like giving definite times because of her schedule and Rachel's schedule. She didn't want to have to disappoint them if she couldn't go when she'd told them she would go.

"Okay." They both answered ad gave her a wet kisses one on each cheek. Santana was enjoying herself immensely. She felt like the twins were like her own kids.

"Now where's your mom?"

"In the living room with Papa and Grandpa..." but she was already standing at the doorway. She'd been watching Santana interact with the twins.

"Actually I am right here," she decided to let her presence be known.

"Hi beautiful, how long have you been standing there?"

"Oh, not long. I just came here to make sure they weren't peeking and didn't want to interrupt. Come you two, go with papa and grandpa or else no hunting for eggs." The twins left without objections. They didn't want to jeopardize their egg-hunting contest. Rachel put her arms around Santana's neck and gave her a light kiss.

"What did I do to deserve that?"

"You handled the twins very well. They didn't start throwing tantrums and they didn't make a big deal about who will have more eggs."

"Hmm. Now I know what to do to get kisses from you. What about a see you later kiss since I have to go."

"Well. Since you are going to leave, I guess another kiss would be fine." Instead of a light peck on the lips, their kiss becae instantly heated. Santana had to stop their kiss before she would not be able to control herself.

"I'd better go or else," she blurted out of breath. "I'll call you later. I wanted to ask you about skiing." Rachel walked her to the door after she bid Leroy and Hiram good-bye.
