Long chapter!
I've wanted to finish this chapter every day of this week, but I get up at 5 AM, work till 2PM and go to bed at 10 PM so between 2:30/3:00 when I get home and bedtime I'm half dead. I was also at a Lana Del Rey concert this week and it was AMAZING! Plus my tendinitis has returned :( it hurt so badly yesterday that I couldn't use the computer or my right hand at all! And now I'm wearing a stupid wrist brace again. But I'll update as much as I can this weekend :)
This chapter is basically a jump in time. Along the way I stop at a few occasions before the chapter ends up where I want it, from now on I'll only skip slightly, but I've got lots of things planned for now :)
Please review, add to favorites and follow!

BTW: the dresses the girls are wearing is the following: Quinn (Dianna's from Glee Season 2 premiere) & Santana (Naya's, some glee 3D premiere but without the flowers and the pointy shoulders.)
They were sitting in bed next to each other, each reading a book before bed when Quinn spoke up.
"Hey San, you know how I told you I'd tell you if I felt anything on the pregnancy front?"
San quickly looked at her wife, her eyes widening.
"Are you feeling something? Do you think you're pregnant?"
Quinn gently cupped Santana's cheek and shook her head.
"I'm really not. I just wanted to let you know. I have a pregnancy test, so if you want to I can take that tomorrow? Since we won't be able to see the doctor in a little while."
Santana let out a sigh and leaned her head against Quinn's hand.
"I'd appreciate that, thanks."
"And San? Is it okay if we wait a little while before we try again? It's not that I don't want
this; it's just that I'd like to not have to worry about a potential baby while promoting my movie. And you've got your album. How about we wait till the summer or something?"
"I hate to admit it because I want a baby so badly, but I like that idea. It will give us some time to just be us. We'll be turning 25 this spring, so if we try again this summer then we'll hopefully be around 26 when it's born and that's a nice age. Beth will be 10 and she'll probably love being a big sister."
"I think it'll do us some good to focus on our careers, especially with the movie coming out and it'll give you the opportunity to release your album this year. And then when the summer comes we will have lots of energy and I'll grow a tiny, healthy human being!"
"Maybe we'll have time for a honeymoon too?"
"Yes! Maybe in May or so? I have an idea for where we can go."
"Oh really? Where?"
"Well I'd love for our honeymoon to be more than just sex, so I thought maybe the South of France? We can enjoy the beach, sun, art and culture, foreign language and people and of course some sex in there too."
"It sounds nice, but it's so far away! I was hoping we'd go to Hawaii or the Bahamas or something and just stay in our hotel room the whole time!"
"Why don't we both look into what we want and come up with something to present to the other? Then we can decide."
"What do you suggest that we present?"
"Suggested activities, possible hotels, restaurants, what to see and what's special or romantic about it. And if you find something you find interesting just add it."
"I can do that. I think."
Quinn leaned in and kissed Santana quickly on the lips.
"Of course you can. Now, do you remember that time you sang to Brody at NYADA and when you visited me that weekend you danced that dance?
"Of course."
"Good, because I want you to do a similar dance for me now and then we'll have hot, amazing sex."
Quinn was completely serious and Santana thought she was going to die from excitement. Quinn, the once oh-so-preppy, straight cheerleader basically wanted Santana to strip for her. Santana leaned over her and gave her a hot kiss on the lips before standing up.
"Any requests when it comes to the song?"
Quinn smirked.
"Red Lipstick."
Santana grinned and put it on on her iPod and put it into the dock. Santana started dancing slowly in tune to the music and occasionally she'd sing along in a tone that caused Quinn to shiver. She very slowly removed her tank top and pajama shorts before crawling up the bed until she was over Quinn and she leaned down and caught the blonde's lips with her own. She slowly pulled off Quinn's clothes too and shifted so her entire weight was on Quinn, their breasts pushing against each other. Quinn's finger's laced into Santana's hair and they slowly rode the other's fingers until they came together. Santana laid her head in the crook of Quinn's neck as she struggled to catch her breath.
"I think you're the most beautiful person in the world Santana."
"In my post-orgasmic bliss I'm gonna say thank you, but I'm always going to be second to you."
"Sanny, when we were in high school and you were with B, did you ever picture having this with her?"
"No, not really. I may have seemed like B was the love of my life, but that was just an act to try and get over you. In reality she was just a fun distraction, and I always knew she and I weren't going to last. I'd actually write your name with hearts around it when I was still with her. She knew it too you know? She knew how much in love with you I was and still am. I never said it to her, but she saw it. When we broke up, or really I broke up with her because I felt like I couldn't 'use' her anymore, she told me that this was my shot, to go get you. I remember I was so surprised and asked her how she knew and she told me she'd known since middle school. She also told me that she knew that you loved me too, but I refused to believe her until you made the first move. So she was the first person to know that we were meant together."
Quinn moved her head and looked down at Santana.
"I never knew this! This explains why she kept sending me texts after you two breaking up saying that you were in love with someone else, and it was someone she loved too so she was fine with it. She kept saying lots of things so I thought she was crazy, but she was just pointing you towards me!"
"Damn, we don't give B enough credit. Not only that, but she was also the person who knew it when we'd agreed on planning a family, without telling her. I think she's the psychic one."
"On the other hand, I hardly believe she knew she'd end up with Mike! She's probably going to be so confused, poor thing, when the baby comes out Asian."
"Okay, that's enough talk about my ex after coitus."
Quinn giggled.
"Sheldon Cooper."
"I freaking love that show. Why can't Penny just propose to Leonard and they can have hot and genius children already?"
"You're the cutest when you talk about that show."
"And you were the cutest when you gave me my present for Christmas, thanks again for the tickets to see a taping. I'm so excited and of course you're going with me."
"I do kinda like it too, just not as much as you."
"It's brilliant."
Quinn let out a tired sigh and yawned, something Santana noticed and she moved off of her wife.
"Night Quinnie."
"Night Sanny."
Quinn's eyes sank shut and soon sleep took over.
'Going into my first interview now, wish me luck, I'm so nervous! Xxxx'
'Good luck babe, I believe in you! I love you to the moon and back xoxo'
Quinn smiled and stepped into the hotel room and took her seat. She sat there for about 5 minutes, sipping her water, before an interviewer came in and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Jake Hamilton. Pleasure to meet you."
He smiled a sincere smile which she returned while shaking his hand.
"Quinn Fabray-Lopez, pleasures all mine!"
He sat in the chair opposite her and started talking to her, asking her simple questions about her life.
"Where did you grow up?"
"I grew up in Ohio and lived there until I started College, when I moved to New Haven to attend Yale, then I moved to New York before I ended up in LA about a year and a half ago."
"So you've been a bit all over the place? Doesn't sound too bad though. You studied theater at Yale, right?"
"Yes, I did. I loved it, it's what made me want to come out here and pursue acting."
"Did you go to a lot of auditions before this?"
"I went to a few minor auditions, for TV shows and stuff, but this was not only the first movie I auditioned for, but also the first audition I booked."
"Congratulations, that's very impressive! Were there a lot of audition rounds?"
"There were a couple regular auditions before we started the chemistry readings and then we had a few rounds of that. I was really nervous about it though, especially since I'm married and I wasn't sure how my wife would handle it, but she thought it was fine as long as it was a guy."
Jake laughed.
"What an understanding wife you have! Was it weird for you at all though?"
"It was a bit weird kissing a guy, especially since I haven't done that since my wife and I started dating my first year of college, but Alex was so sweet and calmed me down a lot."
"That's great. Now lets talk about this movie. I love that she has cameras and I think you call the camera your BS detector, you look through it and you can determine whether someone is BSing or not."
"Mhm."
"So I was wondering, I actually brought my camera, and I was gonna ask you a few questions and see if I can tell whether or not you're BSing. I'm just gonna look through it, okay?"
"Alright!"
"Alright, let me see, I've got my questions."
Jake holds up the camera so it's pointing at Quinn and she fights back a shy smile.
"This is the best interview you've ever had."
"Completely."
Considering it was the only real interview she'd ever had, it wasn't untrue.
"That is the truth!"
"Mhm"
"That is God honest truth."
"I know."
"You look at me and say 'man I wish he was in the movie'"
"Absolutely."
"You're… You're just… There is no BS in this!"
Quinn laughed, she felt so comfortable around him that her first interview seemed to be a piece of cake.
"Whenever I walk you're gonna be sad because you wish that we'd gotten married."
Quinn looked down and whispered her response.
"Oh, I can't say that out loud because then you will know the answer."
"Because the answer is yes?"
Quinn looked around the room and continued nodded, fighting back a huge smile.
"I'm shy now. And my wife can't know."
"No BS!"
Quinn started laughing as Jake stood up. She hugged him.
"Thank you for making my first interview so comfortable, I had a blast!"
"You're very welcome, you were great yourself and I hope I get to interview you again in the future!"
"I hope so too."
Jake walked out and Quinn quickly found her phone to text Santana.
'Just finished my first interview and I LOVED it! He was so great. Waiting for the next now, miss you already xxx'
'I'm so glad babe, I knew you'd be amazing. I miss and love you xoxo'
Quinn put her phone down as the next interviewer stepped into the room. The remainder of the day she did several interviews, some by herself and some with Alex, but she thought most of them went great.
Quinn woke up as her alarm clock set off and she quickly turned it off so it wouldn't wake the sleeping girl next to her. She got out of bed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast as quietly as possible and got the cake that she had made the previous day out of it's hiding place. When she returned to her bedroom with a tray of things she knew that the brunette on the bed was awake and just pretending to be asleep for her sake, but that was part of why she loved her so much so she sat on the bed next to her wife and started singing happy birthday to you.
"Morning birthday girl!"
Santana grinned and sat up in bed as Quinn placed the tray over her lap.
"I'm officially half way to 50!"
"Don't say that, it makes us sound old."
Quinn replied with a playful scowl as Santana leaned in and they shared a passionate kiss.
"I love you blondie, thank you for making me food!"
"I usually feed you a few times a day, I only added a few candles today, but you're welcome! And I love you too."
They started feeding each other and laughing.
"Remember my 22nd birthday?"
Quinn nodded and smiled.
"The day I told you that I'd be moving in with you as soon as school was done."
"Remember your 22nd birthday?"
"The day you told me that you'd marry me one day."
Santana grinned and looked down at their rings.
"Score!"
Quinn giggled.
"What can I say, you have a way with words. Or your mouth in general" she added with a wink.
Quinn moved the tray to the floor as she lay down on top of her wife and started kissing her slowly as they undressed and soon the only sounds in the room were their moans.
"March 17th, best day ever!"
Quinn woke up when someone was tickling her sides causing her to twist in bed, but Santana was sitting astride her.
"Morning birthday girl!"
Quinn, who usually wasn't much of a morning person instantly grinned. It was April 5th, her 25th birthday!
"Present!"
Santana rolled her eyes with a smile.
"I know you so well!"
Handed Quinn a medium sized, flat gift first and Quinn ripped off the paper quickly. It was a candid shot of herself, smiling at nothing as she was looking off somewhere. It was in black and white and it was beautiful.
"I took that of you one day and I loved it so much that I put it in a frame and figured I'd give it to you.
"San, it's stunning. Thank you, I love it."
Quinn smiled and studied the picture closer. It was in the park, just a few weeks ago and she remembered that she was looking at a family with two little girls hoping that one day that would be them. She looked so happy.
"I got you something else too."
"Babe, you shouldn't have!"
"Come on Q, you know I love spoiling you!"
Santana grinned and handed over a small box that Quinn opened. It was a necklace that said 'Santana' and Quinn grinned at her wife.
"Help me put it on!"
She twisted slightly and Santana put it on for her before she turned back around and kissed her wife. She pulled away after a few minutes and leaned her forehead on Santana's.
"I love you, wifey."
"I love you more."
"Are you ready for this? There's no backing down now, we will try until we succeed."
Santana nodded and bit her lip nervously.
"I'm ready. August 15th is a good date, about a year after we started the whole thing. It's gonna be stressful the next few weeks before that date, but after that it'll just be you and me."
It was now the middle of June and the two were looking at dates to have their next insemination. The last six months had been crazy busy with Quinn's movie coming out to great reviews, Quinn winning some awards for best newcomer and stuff like that, she had landed a guest spot on some TV shows and Santana had finished her whole album which would come out on July 1st.
"I can't wait till your album is released babe, it's so good."
Santana nuzzled Quinn's hair.
"Thank you, I'm so excited about it. It's crazy, I've worked on it for almost a year and a half and now it's finally here. I don't even care how it does, I'm just glad that I can say that I have released an album."
Quinn turned and started placing loving kisses all over Santana's face.
"You're going to sell lots of record and become world famous."
"Your faith in me is amazing, Q."
"You believed in me while I was auditioning, it's the least I can do. The record label hadn't let you sing with Tay and make your own album in such a short time if they didn't think you were talented."
"Just because they like me doesn't mean anyone else will."
Quinn put her head on Santana's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"We'll see in two weeks baby girl."
Quinn had been restless all night and had combined slept for less than an hour so at 7:00 AM on Saturday June 29th she got out of bed, careful not to wake her sleeping wife, and went to the kitchen to make Santana her favorite pancakes. Apparently even badasses need their pancakes. Today was the day they were going to have a launch party for Santana's album and then the record would be in stores on Monday. Quinn had been restless all night because today would be the first time critics would hear it and tomorrow there were going to be reviews online and in the newspapers and she had no idea what she was going to do if they were bad. She loved the album, she had already had it on her iPod for a few weeks and was listening to it non-stop. Of course she was Santana's wife, but she was still an honest person and if there had been something she didn't like she would have told her. But she loved it. She loved all of it. She loved the slow songs as well as the upbeat tracks, because they were Santana. This album was truly an insight to Santana's heart and soul, and what made Quinn's heart beat even harder was the fact that it was named Q. And there was a song about their relationship and Quinn almost cried every time she heard it because it made her so happy. Yes, she was a hopeless romantic, but she was so proud of her wife and she wanted the world to know.
Santana stumbled into the kitchen in her pajamas and lifted herself onto the kitchen counter.
"Morning superstar!"
Quinn said with a bright grin as she stood between Santana's legs and leaned in for a kiss.
"Morning babe, why are you up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep at all, I've been so nervous about the party so eventually I decided to get up and do something useful."
"Well both me and my stomach appreciate that a lot."
Santana wrapped her arms around Quinn's neck and kissed her deeply.
"Are you nervous?"
"Of course, it's one of the most important and nerve wrecking days in my life, the next 48 hours can be the life or death of my career. But as long as you're there too I'll be fine no matter what. Worst case I'll just get some other job."
"I think your album is amazing and I'm pretty sure the reviewers will think so too!"
"You're too sweet. Are my pancakes ready?"
Quinn giggled and nodded before stepping away from Santana to put their plates on the table and Santana jumped down form the counter and sat down, quickly digging into her pancakes.
"Oh, wait right here!"
Quinn hurried into the living room before returning with a picture.
"We got this in the mail yesterday!"
She handed it over and Santana studied it closely.
"Mikey Jr. Britt sends us pictures all the time, she's going crazy with that camera. He is very cute though."
Quinn nodded enthusiastically.
"Makes me even more excited to know that we'll be having our own soon, hopefully."
Quinn smiled and put it up on the fridge with all the other pictures of Mike.
"It was hilarious when she called after having opened the 'Mike' gift! She was so freaked out even though Mike had told her that we'd probably guessed it because of him and his father. She's adorable though, and she's so good with Mikey."
Santana smiled fondly.
"She's an amazing mom, I think she's gonna be one of those moms who's never told 'I hate you' by their kids because she's so adaptable and fun."
Quinn nodded.
"Yeah, she's so cute with him. We'll have to go visit them soon, or have them come here."
Santana smiled and cleared the table.
"I'm gonna go take a long, relaxing bath. Would you mind picking my parents up from LAX?"
"Of course not, you just go relax, I'll handle all that. When do they land?"
"In about an hour, no rush though."
Quinn stood up and placed a kiss on Santana's lips, smiling into it.
"I'll leave soon. Now go take that shower before I'm too tempted to join you."
Santana grinned and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at her wife before leaving the room. Quinn rolled her eyes with a smile before starting to tidy up the apartment a bit before her in-laws arrived. They would be staying at a hotel close by, but Quinn would drive them straight to the apartment to hang out a bit before the party, which they would also attend.
"San, I'm leaving now! Love you."
"Drive carefully, love you too!"
Quinn grabbed her keys and headed out of the apartment. As soon as she got to the car she connected her iPhone to the car stereo system, playing Santana's songs.
"Maribel, Carlos over here!"
Quinn smiled and waved at them and they walked towards her, both hugging her tightly when they reached her.
"Quinn, it's great to see you again! How are you?"
"Hey Mami, I'm good thank you, just really nervous about tonight and tomorrow."
"So are we, but the media already loves you, so I don't think we have too much to worry about."
Quinn blushed slightly and bit her lip.
"I'm still not used to the media attention, it's so weird. Sometimes there are paparazzi taking my picture while I'm grocery shopping! Like the other day San and I were buying charcoal and they took our picture! San looks gorgeous though, so I don't really mind."
Carlos smiled at her as they started walking towards Quinn's car.
"We appreciate it, it lets us know that you're both okay and not in any trouble!"
Quinn giggled.
"Oh, using the press to spy on us, huh?"
"You know it! So how's the baby thing going?"
"Good actually, we've decided on starting again August 15th, so hopefully soon you'll have a grandchild."
"We can't wait dear. How is San, nervous?"
"She seems pretty calm actually. I think it's because this is sort of her arena, this is what she loves and she's so proud of what she's accomplished."
"That's my Santana, it's pretty easy to tell when she's serious about something. We could tell that you two were more than just regular girlfriends as soon as San told us about you two, it was so different from Britt. She was so calm and serene. We sort of expected you two to get married from the beginning of your relationship."
Quinn smiled her shy smile before hugging her mother-in-law before getting into the car.
"I'm glad someone else saw it too. She really is the love of my life and I'm so glad that we got the courage to tell each other that."
They talked about what had been happening in everyone's lives while driving home.
"Babe, we're home!"
Santana walked out of their bedroom and hugged her parents tightly.
"Mommy, daddy, I missed you! I'm so glad you're here."
"We missed you too Mija. Quinn's been updating us, seems like your life's been pretty exciting lately?"
"Yeah, there's been so much to do with taking pictures for the album and promotion and rerecording some tracks and stuff. It's crazy, but I'm so excited."
"And we are so excited for you, darling."
Carlos smiled proudly at his daughter and kissed the top of her head.
"Thanks daddy."
Santana wrapped her arms around the taller man and hugged him tightly as the two shared a small father-daughter moment.
"I was thinking that we should go out for lunch, I know this lovely place. You two can rest here a little bit before we leave, if you want to?"
"That seems nice, I'd love to just relax a little bit before hand though."
"Would you like some coffee or tea?"
"Coffee please"
They both replied and Santana led them to the living room as Quinn went to the kitchen to get some coffee and home made biscuits for them all. They sat in the living room talking about the whole making an album process before Quinn decided it was time to drive the older Lopez's to their hotel so they could change before lunch, and Santana came with her to drive them over.
"They're really proud of you baby."
Santana smiled and laced her fingers through Quinn's.
"I know I'm so lucky to have them. I hope I can be like my mother when we have kids."
"You'll be amazing babe, no need to worry about that. I know that because you worry about them already and we're not even pregnant."
Santana squeezed Quinn's hand as a silent thank you as they drove home.
"Are you ready babe?"
Quinn walked out of the bedroom and saw Santana in her dress for the first time, gasping.
"San, wow! You look so… amazing!"
Santana grinned and twirled slowly, showing off the dress the record label had given her and asked her to wear at the party. Her hair was up in a loose bun and her make up framed her lovely features. The dress was purple with some vertical stripes on the top and she wore it with black leggings and purple heels. Quinn wore a yellow dress with some black bead and thread work on the top, and her hair was pulled back with a black bow. Santana pulled Quinn close to her and nuzzled into her neck.
"You look so pretty baby. I love so you much."
Quinn smiled and leaned into Santana's embrace and they stood there for a few minutes, just relaxing in each other's arms until they had to go pick up Santana's parents.
"Babe, just one thing we should both think about; don't drink too much alcohol! I know it's a party and all, but there will be press there and I don't want anything bad to happen because of alcohol."
Santana grinned.
"I already thought of that, I'll only have a few, I know my limits. Thanks for thinking about it too though. And I'm guessing you'll watch out for me too?"
Quinn laughed.
"You know me too well. If it was a regular party I wouldn't have cared, but this is in your honor, you have to look good!"
"This is crazy. My album comes out in two days. The first reviews will be out tomorrow. How did you feel when your movie came out?"
"Like I was going to crumble into tiny pieces because I was so nervous and when the first review was up I didn't want to read it at all. When the first review was good and mentioned me several times I was scared to read the second incase that was really bad. But you're so different from me babe, when you're proud of something you're confident and you have the right to be proud of this."
Santana nodded and grinned.
"Damn right I have! But when the reviews come tomorrow, will you read them out loud for me? Everything sounds better when coming from your mouth."
"Aww, cheesy, but adorable. Of course I will baby, it will be my pleasure!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome acclaimed music producer Ryan Dawson and the artist we're all here to celebrate, Santana Fabray-Lopez!"
Everyone cheered loudly as the two walked up on stage and Ryan started talking.
"It's great to see everyone here celebrating this young artist that I've come to love! I was first introduced to Santana's powerful voice in 2017 when a friend of hers showed me some videos of Santana singing in high school and I was blown away. When she moved to LA from New York I finally got to meet her and when she first sang for me in my office I knew that I had struck musical gold. She has sung for Taylor Swift on tour and on a record, but she's finally out with her own. This girl should be proud of the work she's put in, she has co-written every single song on this album and has hand picked all of the songs that made the final cut. Ladies and gentlemen, please give another round of applause to Santana!"
The audience erupted into cheers again and Santana started blushing slightly at all the attention.
"Thank you so much Ryan. To be completely honest I wouldn't have been on this stage today if it wasn't for 5 people; my mom and dad, my friend Mercedes who showed Ryan those videos, and who is here today, Ryan who has believed in me since day one and most importantly my incredible wife, Quinn, who has been nothing less than incredible, even when I've had my head stuffed with song lyrics. This album has been my life for the past year and a half and I am so excited to finally be able to show it to the world. I hope you all enjoy it!"
The audience cheered another time as the two left the stage and music started playing throughout the club. Santana's music. Quinn cheered as Santana walked up to her and they started dancing and having fun. The album was playing on repeat all evening and different reporters would come over to them and interview Santana and take pictures of the two of them, which they gladly did. The album was upbeat and easy to dance to, but it was easy to tell that Santana had created her own individual style, she wasn't copying anyone else. Quinn and Santana shared drinks, but stayed sober throughout the evening and after a while Santana was called on stage again to perform some of her songs live. Quinn thought she was amazing, she gave it her all and even with some alcohol in her blood and after a long party she was still able to hit the high notes and didn't sound bad once. While Santana was performing Quinn was jumping around, dancing with everyone and having fun, but suddenly she felt an arm around her waist and she turned around to see Santana singing to her, gently pulling her up on stage. Once there she was given a microphone and Santana kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear.
"Duet Mrs. Fabray-Lopez?"
Quinn nodded enthusiastically.
"Lana?"
"I love me some Lana."
"I know we're both thinking of the same song, so let's just start."
"Money is anthem of success so before we go out, what's your address?"
"She loves to romance 'em, Reckless abandon, Holdin' me for ransom, Upper echelon."
"She says to "be cool" but, I don't know how yet. Wind in my hair, Hand on the back of my neck. I said, "Can we party later on?" She said, "Yes, yes." (Yes.)"
They switched all the 'he' to 'she' and sang it to each other, not really paying attention to anyone else until they all applauded them and they grinned at the audience before whispering to each other again.
"Old times? Thanksgiving?"
Santana nodded knowingly.
"Mercedes, get up here!"
Mercedes was rushed on stage as their mash-up of homeward bound/home started playing and the girls sang together, dividing the voices between them.
"Just know you're not alone. Cause I'm gonna make this place your home"
By the end of the night Santana could hardly speak and Quinn was a tiny bit buzzed, but only so much that only the people who really knew her would notice the difference.
"I'd call that one very successful evening!"
Quinn said as she got into bed next to her wife around 2AM.
"It was amazing! So many people from the industry that liked it, so many opportunities!"
Quinn snuggled into Santana and let out a soft sigh.
"I love you Santana Lopez."
"I love you too, Quinn Fabray."
Santana placed a kiss on Quinn's head and they quickly fell asleep.
"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!"
Quinn opened one eye to find her wife leaning over her with a huge smile on her face.
"San, it's still early."
"No, it's 10:30."
"I had alcohol yesterday; it's early."
"Come on Quinnie, Ryan texted me saying the reviews are in!"
"Did he say if it was good or bad?"
Santana shook her head.
"I asked him not to last night, I don't want to know until I've, sorry you've read them."
"Fine, go get my laptop and I'll read them for you."
Santana ran out of their room and got Quinn's laptop before running back and jumping onto the bed.
"Ryan emailed me some links, so just go onto my mail and find them."
Quinn nodded and sat up so she was facing Santana and Santana couldn't see the screen.
"I'm not going to read the headlines until the end, because they will probably reveal a lot. I'll also skip the rating until the end."
"Okay, now hurry up!"
Quinn smiled at Santana's eagerness, she knew how the brunette felt, she had felt the same when her movie came out.
"Okay, first one."
"Everyone knows who Quinn Fabray-Lopez is, right? The amazingly sweet blonde who captured everyone's hearts as Sarah Hart in I Am Number Four this spring, and whom we cannot stop talking about. She's won lots of awards, you can't have missed her. Well, did you know that she has a wife? And that her wife is not only also sickeningly beautiful, but also equally talented? Santana Fabray-Lopez's first album will be released tomorrow, July 1st, it's called Q (after her wife, apparently she also has a tattoo of the same letter) and all we can say is 'GO GET IT'. This girl has an amazing vocal range, her songs are catchy, yet meaningful (she has co-written all of them and they all have a personal meaning to her) and as soon as you're done listening to her whole album you'll put it on repeat and keep it on repeat until her next album comes. Some of you might know her name already, both her and her wife are good friends of Taylor Swift and Santana sang back up for her on her last tour and last album. Her release party was last night and not only were we treated to a live performance of a few of her songs, she even got Quinn onto the stage and the two sang several duets together, including their favorite Lana Del Rey songs. Hollywood, I believe you've found your new 'it' couple."
"There is a picture of the album, some pictures of us and some of you singing. The headline is 'Our new favorite' and the review is 5 ½ stars out of 6."
Quinn looked up and her eyes locked with Santana's as they both grinned widely and Quinn started reading the next review. All of the reviews posted so far were positive. Some had a few suggestions to changes, but none of them were in general negative and Santana felt like she was on cloud nine. During the day her phone was crowded with congratulatory text messages and phone calls and when the duo plus Santana's parents went out for lunch again there were several people who told her they were going to buy her album. All through the day Santana had a huge grin on her face and the next morning the two drove to the closest record shop and each bought a copy of the album and the store employee said they had already sold plenty of it. Santana got more and more twitter followers, but it exploded when a certain blonde singer tweeted this:
"taylorswift13: Everyone should go buy SantanaFL's new album. It's worth every dollar. So proud of you babes!"
And then
"QuinnFL: So proud of my wife SantanaFL who released her debut album today! Already playing it on repeat. Go get it ;)"
The reviews kept pouring in and it wasn't long before she was ranked on iTunes either. Santana couldn't believe it. She had made this album mostly for herself, because this was something she had always wanted to do and this music was personal to her, so when so many other people loved it too she was simply overwhelmed. Quinn had to keep pinching her for her to believe that it as actually true.
"Okay girls, we have officially started the treatment again and I have now placed two eggs into Quinn. In about a month and a half I'll have you back and we can test to see if it was successful. You can also take a home pregnancy test before that though, just get one of those early pregnancy tests."
Quinn nodded with a smile.
"This feels right, I think this is it!"
"I sure hope so!"
Santana added with a big smile.
"It's been a month now so Quinn is probably going to take a pregnancy test soon. She's got a good feeling about it though, so I'm crossing my fingers. She's not at home right now. I'll tell her when she get's back. How's Mikey? I'm so glad, he's adorable B, getting so big. Quinn puts all of the pictures on the fridge so it looks like we have an Asian baby that no one's ever seen!
Quinn entered their apartment and could hear that Santana was on the phone so she did everything as quietly as possible. She entered their bedroom while Santana was in the kitchen and started changing, but she could still hear the one sided conversation.
"What did you say? No of course I haven't told her! Brittany, why on earth would I tell my wife that I kissed you? That would be stupid of me."
Quinn's head shot up.
"You promised me you wouldn't tell her! Who else knows? Mhm, okay, but have them promise you not to tell Quinn. Why are we even talking about this on the phone? We shouldn't talk about this at all B."
Santana looked up to see Quinn standing in the doorway, teary eyed, biting her lips.
"Fuck… I've got to go."
Santana hung up and stood up walking towards Quinn who backed up away from her wife.
"You kissed her?"
Her voice was weak.
"It was a mistake."
"When was it?"
Santana frowned slightly, thinking back.
"Right after you'd suggested we should move here."
"Why?"
"I was freaked out thinking you only wanted to move because of Beth."
Quinn frowned.
"So even though I had told you that I was fine with Beth you still doubted me and you went to your ex-girlfriend? Was it that day you were home late and I called Brittany?"
Santana nodded slightly.
"I was sitting at home crying because I thought something had happened to you only to find out 2 years later that you were kissing your fucking ex-girlfriend!"
Quinn's voice was rising, she was mad.
"If it helps Brittany slapped me and yelled at me."
"You were never going to tell me, were you?"
Santana looked down and slowly shook her head.
"You made her promise not to tell me. Who else knows?"
"Mike and Rachel."
"How can I trust that you'll be faithful when we have a baby and things get stressful when you can't even handle an imaginative problem without running off to another girl?"
"Baby, you know how much I want this! Please forgive me, I'm so sorry! I love you, only you, not her!"
"Get out."
Santana gasped.
"What?"
"Get out."
"No! I'm not leaving until you really listen to me!"
"I swear to God Santana, get the fuck out of this apartment right now!"
Tears started streaming down both girls faces as Santana tried to kiss Quinn, but she was pushed away.
"Stay the fuck away from me Santana, just leave I don't want to look at you right now."
Quinn was completely serious and Santana looked at her with sad eyes as she grabbed her purse.
"I love you, I'll always love you."
"Stay away from me, don't you dare find me until I tell you to, get it?"
Santana nodded slowly as she walked out the door and heard it slam shut behind her as she started crying loudly. She ran to her car and sat there crying before starting the car and driving to a hotel. Quinn had found about it because Brittany had to fucking ask her about it on the phone when she didn't know she was even at home! But she couldn't be mad at B, because it was her own fault. She was the one who kissed B. And now she'd have to pull every trick in the book to get her wife back.
