"Marry you."
Those two words echoed through her head over and over still even though it had been almost twenty hours ago since she heard the blonde say them to her. Santana was laying on her couch in her dressing room alone just thinking before she had to go on stage. The night was perfect once Santana could breathe again and tell Brittany 'Yes' the two made love in every corner of the hotel room they could until the heart shaped pizza Brittany had ordered with a bottle of Champaign and a bucket full of little zebra cakes she knew Santana loved came by room service. Santana smiled wider seeing what Brittany had done all on her own.
"There is also a card." Brittany got up from floor where she was lying beside her girlfriend eating their pizza" A card?" Santana asked amused." Wow this is a very special occasion and the best occasions have cards and presents involved." Brittany winked as she rushed over to her bag where she pulled out the ring box Maria had brought her earlier and the card she picked up on her way back. When Brittany called Santana's parents to ask they went over the traditional discussions but at the end welcomed her into the family. There was only one request Maria had and that was that Brittany give Santana her own wedding ring until their wedding day and then she could replace it with a new one. Brittany being beyond ecstatic Santana's parents were accepting her into their family agreed to everything. She was kind of nervous now knowing this was a big deal for the Latina's family.
"I have another surprise for you." Santana sat up straight looking up at the blonde who was getting down on her knees." Give me your hand." Santana watched as the blonde placed a black ring box in the middle of her palm. Her heart started to skip beats as she opened the box. Tears rushed to her eyes seeing whose ring was in the box." Mami?" Brittany nodded." I asked them last night and this was her only request after giving us her blessing." Santana knew the tradition and started to cry harder." Is everything alright?" Brittany asked hesitating now slightly. Santana took a moment to calm herself down before looking into Brittany's eyes." Everything is perfect Brittany, your perfect and I can't wait to be your wife." Brittany's heart did a little victory dance and she helped Santana put it on her finger and both admired the ring together.
"My card?" Santana asked not forgetting how excited the blonde had been to give her the card earlier." Oh yeah, here you go." Santana opened the card and instantly was met by two pugs on the card both wearing white wedding dresses. Brittany giggled beside her taken in Santana's funny facial expression." Britt?" she laughed before opening the card to hear the tune of 'I got you babe' by Sonny and Cher. "I got you babe." Brittany sung to Santana who was blushing as she read the words Brittany had wrote into the card. Before Brittany could bust out another word she captured the blonde's lips.
Santana was thrown out of her day dream by Quinn who unlocked the door with her key and came in and sat down eating a taco." Want some?" Quinn offered." No thanks." Santana sat up straighter." Almost time for you to go out there." Quinn said pointing to the clock." Yep." Santana acknowledged she was listening." Thinking about what happened last night?" Quinn knew Santana too well." It was perfect Q." Quinn smiled." I bet, but now I am going to have to wait to propose to my girlfriend." Quinn joked she knew Rachel and her were no way ready for that kind of commitment with one another just yet she wasn't a hundred percent sure about their friends but she knew Santana and Brittany were fighters and they would fight for their marriage and she would never say anything to discourage that." So you guys leaving tonight or tomorrow with us?" Quinn asked never getting a real answer earlier when she asked the blonde." Tomorrow with you and Rachel." Quinn knew Santana had more to say so she didn't say anything else." We want you two to be there with us as well as my parents, Kurt and Blaine and I guess Puck." Quinn nudged the Latina in her elbow" Of course sweetly." Santana placed her forehead on the blondes" Anybody else?" Quinn asked not believing this was going to be a big event. Santana shook her head." Maybe the reception but Brittany and I want this to be a rather small ceremony with just our family." Quinn understood knowing Brittany." That sounds perfect S." they just sat peacefully for a few minutes before Quinn's phone beeped." Time to go my love." Santana smiled and nodded." Last performance of the tour." She thought out loud." Yes and then we all party it up until we pass out." Santana shook her head." You're an alcoholic." She teased as Quinn started to make her taco dance in her hand as she walked out of the dressing room.
" Brittany had told four people that her and Santana were getting hitched and two of the four Santana had joined her to announce their great news. Her friends like she expected went crazy giving each a big hug and Puck gave her a high five before he kissed her on the cheek earning him a big glare from the Latina. Tina and Tara was the other two Brittany told in private and she was happy with their reactions as well. Both congratulated her and Brittany told them she would defiantly invite them to the reception when she knew when it was. Both agreed and then talked about what they were planning for the rest of the night. Most was attending the after party for the closing of the tour before they head home tomorrow. Ashley was going home with her boyfriend tonight she had announced earlier excited he was going to see the last show. Seth couldn't wait to get home to his pets and family and Artie hadn't really mentioned what he was going to do but he had said he was ready to sleep for like a week to the group during lunch time.
"Time to go on Ladies" Sam's voice echoed throughout the little sound room the dancers were waiting in." Brittany, come see me for a sec." Brittany skipped over to the man." Hey Sam, what is up?" Sam smiled for a moment then it grew." Congrats on the news. Santana told us earlier and I just wanted to tell you myself how incredibly happy I am for the two of you, just remember she is a big star so don't hide her from the rest of the world too long." Brittany didn't really know what he meant by that but smiled and thanked him for his kind words before running to catch up with the other dancers already heading on stage.
"Tonight is special because it is my last night of my US Tour." Santana announced as she appeared as the floor parted and she was lifted by a lift to the stage. She stepped off the platform and it quickly disappeared out of sight as she walked closer to the audience." I love you all and thank you for all the support and love you have given my band, my dancers and myself all through this tour. Let's get the music started." The audience went crazy screaming and clapping as the music started and the dancers started their routine. Mike came out as usual but instead of standing to wait on Santana he pushed the blonde to the front and took over for her. Santana turned expecting Mike and was surprised to see her fiancé standing waiting to dance with her with a big smile on her face. Santana gladly accepted her dance partner's hands and turned her around as she sung into the microphone. Brittany got chills as she always did hearing how beautiful Santana's voice was." Turn." Santana whispered to the blonde who had stopped dancing to look at the star. Brittany quickly turned and started to routine again but again got distracted how beautiful Santana was. Sam's words hit here hard like stone in the chest she knew what he meant now by not hiding Santana from the rest of world he thought she was going to hinder the star's career. Brittany felt raged she would never do a thing like that she loved Santana's job and knew the world deserved to have Santana's talent shine in it.
Could them being married damage her career in anyway?" Brittany what is wrong?" Santana asked in a whisper. Brittany once again shook the thought out of her hand as she looked back at Mike who was looking at her. He understood what she needed and started to dance behind the Latina until she was in his arms now and started to dance with her as Brittany danced back to Tina." Are you alright?" Tina whispered quickly getting into sync with the blonde. Brittany looked at her friend "Do you think me marrying Santana would hinder her career?" Tina shook her head.
" Lots of people's fantasy's would be crushed but no. Her talent is far too amazing for being married to the love of her life to hurt it in anyway." Brittany felt better hearing those words and she would be talking to Sam later." Who put this in your head?" Tina asked in a whisper as they turned." Sam." Tina nodded." He is probably scared his self that you will take Santana away from him." Brittany hadn't thought about that, but it made perfect sense to her though it was none of his business what they do in their personal life.
After the last song was sung and the dancers and Santana bowed for the audience everyone started to make their way off stage. Santana grabbed Brittany before she had a chance to walk off stage. She didn't care people still could see them her microphone was off and she knew that." What was going on earlier?" Brittany knew this was coming and she was prepared.
"I am sorry I got distracted how beautiful you are at first then Sam's words he said to me before I walked on stage hit me." Santana tilted her head as she placed her hands on her hips." What did he say?" Santana demanded ready to go find Sam this instant and make him eat his words if he said anything bad to her fiancé." Nothing that bad Santana so calm down, he congratulated us and then told me not to hide you too long from the rest of the world. I didn't understand the meaning of that until I saw you in your glory and I would never want to hinder your career in anyway Santana. You were a star before I knew you and you can continue even after we're married." Santana listened to the blonde rumble on for a few moments before placing her hands on both of the blonde's cheeks.
"Look at me Brittany." Brittany looked into her fiancé's dark eyes." I love you. I love my career and trust me you are not a hinder what so ever when it comes to my career so get that out of your pretty head now. What I do for now on you will have an effect on because it's going to affect the both of us but that is true for whatever it is you choose to do too." Brittany nodded knowing she would always put Santana first when thinking of any life changes." Listen to me Brittany, our marriage our life is ours not Hollywood's, not our friends and family. Not my managers or agency but OURS." Santana leaned over and kissed Brittany a couple of times on the lips before she kissed the blonde on the forehead." Now let's go party." Brittany rolled her eyes feeling so much better." Thank you San." Santana squeezed the blonde's hand." Anytime love."
