Written with Nephewsnixx.
Into the summer the family had a lot of stuff to get done; it was seven months until the big day. They got the catering, band, ice sculptor, and a bouquet shop already booked. But then there was the decor, the bridesmaid dresses, a groomsman.. Well, in this case a bride's-men tuxedo for Kurt, then there was the payment for the reception that needed to be discussed. What made things strange is that Rachel has yet to get a dress for her, this was severely needed and luckily for her, Shelby took it upon herself to take Rachel to get a dress.
"Rachel, honey. I found a cute veil to go with y-" Shelby walks into the room that Rachel was in, Rachel wasn't sporting a dress though, she had on a nice women's tux that was all white. "Sweetie, where is your dress?"
"In the changing room, I wanted to try on a tuxedo, and I got to admit, I look good." Rachel smiles at the mirror with her hands on her hips. "If Santana saw me in this though.. Well, let's just say we wouldn't be able to return it."
Shelby gagged a bit. "Too much." She says while holding her stomach. "But I am glad you found something to look confident in, is this gonna be your choice for your wedding?" Shelby asks while walking closer to Rachel.
"No, I just wanted to see what it looks like." Rachel admits with a smile.
"So, are you nervous about getting married?" Shelby sits on one of the chairs in the room.
Rachel takes the veil off, then walks to her mom, her lower lip bitten. "Very, but it's to someone I do know more about than anyone else, someone I am complete with.." She explains. "She loves me despite how obnoxious, how irritating, or irrational I am.." Rachel sits down beside Shelby. "She's done more for me in the time we got together than I did in the nearly 12 years I've known her." She gives Shelby a calm smile.
Shelby returns the smile, and then messes with Rachel's hair. "I'm proud of you, and it's going to be scary being Santana's mother-in-law." She points out jokingly. "How things at are home, I haven't asked since I picked you up."
"Well, things are the same actually, I saw my therapist this week, and I am making progress with my eating issues." Rachel happily announces. "But.. I've been feeling weak lately, like I am too exhausted for my own good."
"When was the last time you got a break?" Shelby asks.
Rachel shrugged. "I like the last time I really got a break.. Was about two weeks ago, and even then I was still active." She explains.
"Sweetie, I am telling you.. You need a vacation, like before your honeymoon." Shelby demands in a calm tone of voice.
Rachel's eyes then widened as something struck her memory. "Oh, fuck me!" She lets out somewhat loudly. "I don't have anyone to house sit during the honeymoon!" she holds her head due to her getting a headache almost instantly.
"Beth and I could house sit.." Shelby mumbles before taking a sip out of her water bottle.
"Would you house sit, mom?" Rachel asks with a smile on her face.
Shelby gently tapped her chin, looking up at the ceiling. "One condition.. We have dinner tonight."
Rachel laughs a bit, then nods twice. "Sure thing." She says before getting up from the seat, and then she walks back into the changing room.
Rachel and Shelby spent about a couple of hours more in the shop; Rachel tried a few more options and went back and forward with ones she liked. Some tears were shed from the women's eyes when Rachel made her choice; a stunning English net ball gown with a shade of blue at the hem and a crystal belt to accents the waist. It was a powerful moment for them; their relationship is finally in a good place and now Shelby get to be around as her daughter is planning her wedding and be there to watch her walking down the aisle. The older woman got up from the chair and hugged her child and told her how gorgeous she looked, then like Santana's mom, Shelby insisted on paying for the dress, not leaving Rachel any choice.
After Rachel changed, the women got smoothies and Rachel took her mom home. They agreed that Rachel and the family will come around 7 pm, then said goodbye. On her way home, Rachel called Kurt and told him in general about the dress; she wanted to keep it as a surprise for the actual day. She updated him about dinner, and then he had to go to do an interview. Only when she got home, Rachel texted Santana; she knew her fiancée had meetings and was busy today, so she didn't want to interrupt her. She told her a little about the dress, how excited she was and the great day she had with her mom and, of course, about the dinner. Rachel took advantage of the rare free time she had and took a relaxing bath and a good nap before everyone got home.
Santana got home together with Kurt around 5 pm and they both ran to the girls' bedroom to hear more about Rachel's time at the dress shop. They talked about it and other wedding related topics, then Kurt left to let them be alone and for Santana to rest a little. The Latina wanted to hear more, but it was a hard day and she just wanted a quick nap before they had to leave. Santana only kicked her shoes off, and then found a comfortable position for her nap. She asked Rachel to wake her after she got ready and fell asleep.
At six thirty everyone was ready to move, but they weren't sure they'd be there on time with all the traffic. Rachel texted Shelby from the car and told her they were on the way, but might be late. Thankfully, they had luck and got there just a little after seven. Rachel, holding a nice bottle of wine, knocked on the door and the group waited for the door to be open.
Shelby opens the door, slightly nervous for having so many people in her apartment. "Hi." She gulps and smiles. "Everyone, welcome." Shelby nods, and then moves aside to let people in.
Of course, similar to almost anytime they see each other, Beth runs and jumps into Dani's arms, this time she kept herself latched to Dani so she would have to carry her inside. "Hi, Dani!" She lets out.
"Hey, kiddo." Dani smiles brightly at the girl, "I missed you." She places a kiss on her cheek and walks inside.
"Be careful, honey." Santana calls out and giggles. She turns to Shelby and clears her throat, "Thanks for having us." She says calmly and walks in.
"Hi mom." Rachel hugs Shelby a few moments. "You have a very lovely home." She compliments.
"Thank you." Shelby smiles then looks at the group. "Okay, I'm sorry for the small space, and I... Damn." She held her head. "I got nothing made.."
"You invited us for dinner and there is not food?" Santana asks with a raised eyebrow as she looks around.
"I didn't really have a lot of time, I had to tidy up the place, get Beth ready, and then get myself ready.. Honestly, I was just about to get started on dinner." Shelby sighs.
"No problem." Rachel states. "We can cook a nice meal, me, you, and Santana." She suggests with a smile. "Dani and the other two kids can hang out while we cook."
Kurt glares at Rachel. "Really, Barbara?"
"I love you too, Kurt." Rachel kisses Kurt's cheek, and then makes her way to the kitchen.
"Babe.." Santana whines and follows Rachel to the kitchen, "I have no energy to cook and it'll take so long. Can we just order something?"
"It'll take 30 minutes, and you know I will make it up to you later." Rachel gives Santana a gentle kiss. "There.. Hopefully that gives you some energy." She brushes her nose against Santana's.
"You and your damn lips.. I'm so whipped." Santana sighs. "Let's start, I'm starving." She says.
And so, the three women got a head start on making dinner, luckily it wasn't gigantic meal, just enough for the group of 6. After it was made Kurt, Dani, and Beth went to the table. The group all ate their food, conversed and brought up various things in terms of the wedding.
After eating the much needed meal, Santana is sitting comfortably in the chair and actually can think clearly. They talked a little about the big day and it got Santana to reach for Rachel's hand and rub it, "I won't be able to sleep the day before, especially alone." She says with a slight pout.

Rachel nods in agreement. "It's going to suck, I already hate being one hour away from Santana, I don't know how I will be away from her for one night." She says while looking at Santana.
"You two will survive, though, that's a given." Shelby says with a smile on her face. "Soon you will be married, then off doing your thing for your honeymoon, and then you'll be home and living the married life.. I can't be more proud of you two even if I tried."
"Ok, I think we heard enough." Dani states, "Can Beth and I be excused?"
Santana rolls her eyes, "Shush, you barely see your grandma, so stay with us, old people a little longer." She says and smiles when she sees the same eye roll done by her daughter. She looks over at Shelby and feels much more comfortable with her being in their life; the woman, so far, proving herself and is around for Rachel, "Thank you." She tells her, "Is it still ok for Rachel to stay here for that night?"
Shelby looks at Santana and nods a few times. "Of course it is, just be sure to remind me the week before so I can do a little bit more shopping." She says.
Santana giggles, "Do I need to remind you that your daughter is getting married?" She playfully challenges, "I could totally get a hotel room, but it'd be much better like if she'd stay with you."
Rachel's jaw almost hit the floor, she was shocked to see her mom and fiancée get along so well. "What in the blue hell?" She asks.
"What is it, Rach?" Nothing really happened, so Santana doesn't understand why Rachel is so surprised, "You know I'm traditional like that.." She doubt that's the reason, but tries anyways.
"You two.." Rachel says. "When were you two on speaking terms and why wasn't I told?" She asks.
Shelby chuckles a bit. "She's gonna be my daughter-in-law soon, so we're going to have to get along sooner or later." She says with confidence.
Santana blush at Rachel pointing out the change in her and Shelby's relationship, "Yeah, ah, I now believe that her intentions are true and like she said, we're going to be family." Santana smiles a shy smile, then clears her throat, "And since my mom, your dads and Leo are going to stay with us and we need to be separated, I rather you be with your mom and get a quiet, relaxing night." She tells Rachel and grazes her hand again.
"I just wouldn't expect it, with everything that happened." Rachel shrugs, and then takes a sip of her drink. "Well, since it was established that I am staying here, am I sleeping on the couch?" She asks.
"No." Shelby answers. "You'll get my room, a good sleep is key to a great marriage.." She explains then looks away slightly. "That's what my bridal magazines told me, at least." She mumbles.
Santana chuckles, "Who are they trying to fool?" She moves her right leg over her left, "A working couple that has a child to take care of and babies in the future.." She waves her hand in disagreement, "I wish."
"This child is right here and she's getting bored." Dani points out.
"Fine, you can go." Santana tells Dani; she understands this conversation can be boring for the young girls and since they're getting along so well, they can use this time to catch up.
"Can I go too, mom?" Beth asks.
"Have fun." Shelby gently waves to them. The girls leave; Shelby looks at Kurt and raised her eyebrow. "How come you're not having any good stuff to drink?" she asks jokingly.
"I'm the driver." Kurt states.
Santana looks closely at her friend, "You ok?" She asks him quietly, "We can leave or something if you want.."
"I just.. Why doesn't Rachel trust me?" Kurt asks.
"What are you talking about?" Rachel returns the question.
"You're having Shelby house sit, but you never asked me?" Kurt raises a brow at Rachel.
"Oh," Santana vaguely remembers Rachel telling her about it earlier, but she was too tired then, "It has nothing to do with trust, Kurt, you're Dani's uncle, you're our family.." She's saying, looking in his eyes, "But you are a working man and we don't want to put this all on you.. Dani has a lot going on, it takes the two of us," She points at Rachel and herself, "To make sure she gets everything done and we still use your help a lot." She explains.
"I can handle-"
"Kurt, when do you get home from work?" Shelby asks.
"4:35 in the afternoon." Kurt answers.
"How often are your breaks?" Shelby continues.
"I get two during the day." Kurt rolls his eyes, not sure where Shelby is going at.
"Your Vogue offices are at least an hour drive from your guys' house, and Dani gets off around the same time Beth gets off." Shelby explains while looking amongst the trio. "Not only that, but Dex, he's there all day with no one to take him on a walk?" she raises her eyebrow. "She asked me because she knew these things, she wants someone who will be home for everything, I work at home, just give me an internet connection and I am set for my shifts." Shelby's eyes locked with Kurt's as she smiles at him. "Kurt, sweetie, it's nothing against you, I promise."
Kurt lets out a sigh, and then nods slowly. "Sorry, I snapped and it was irrational of me to do so." he pursed his lips nervously.
"I'm surrounded with overly dramatic people!" Santana says and laughs, "I'm kidding.. It's fine, Kurt." She smiles at him. "We're so thankful for all your help and we fully trust you, don't ever question it."
Kurt nods. "I'm still not drinking wine." He smirks a bit.
Rachel is relieved that the drama went away fast. "So, now that we got things settled.. Mom, you mentioned that you had an idea that you wanted to run by me?"
"Yup, I'm taking Dani and Beth to the beach this weekend and you two are going to have a break." Shelby announces.
"I guess I'm going to get tanned in our back yard.." Santana says, "We need a pool.." She thinks aloud and drinks a little, "Yeah, but that can be nice, we can use the rest and I'm sure Dani would love spending time with you, guys."
"Glad it's settled." Shelby smiles a bit.
Rachel got up, gathered the dishes, and then placed them in the sink. "Well, it is getting a little late." she says before walking all the way back to the table. "Should we get going?"
Santana nods and stands up, "Dani, we're leaving, honey!" She calls out. "Thank you for having us, Shelby." She tells her future mother in law. Her defenses are not completely down, but Shelby didn't give her any reason not to trust her intentions, on the contrary, so far she's pretty great.
Beth and Dani come running and giggling back to the group. "Mama, can't we stay a little longer?" She asks with a small pout.
"You'll have a lot of time to hang out together over the weekend, but we have to go now." Santana answers with a smile.
Shelby nods towards Santana. "Anytime you want to come over, please let me know." She says before getting up, she walks to Rachel and gives her a tight hug. "Love you." She says then walks to Dani, gives her a tight hug. "Love you, and I'll see you this weekend." She smiles then walks to Kurt, pats his shoulder, and then walks to the kitchen.
A few days later, it was Friday, and like Shelby had said, she came by to pick Dani up. Dani said her goodbyes to her moms and Kurt, then she quickly got to the car and the three had left. Kurt figured he should respect that Rachel and Santana want to have time alone, so he pressed to get an out of state interview with some underwear model that used to work with Victoria's Secret. This meant that Rachel and Santana were indeed alone, everything was quiet throughout the house, Santana decided to work on her tan, she was resting on her towel feeling relaxed when someone interrupted her.
"Santana Lopez." Rachel speaks out, sporting her FBI uniform and holding out a badge. "Natalie Collins, FBI." She says. "You're a suspect in an ongoing investigation; I'm going to have to take you in for questioning." She speaks in character, almost not sounding like Rachel in general.
Hearing Rachel's tone of voice sent a shiver through the Latina's body, hitting her in the right place and turning her on a little. She looks up, lowering her glasses a bit so she can see better, and right when she sees what Rachel is wearing, Santana bites her lip. "Damn, I thought it looked great on TV, but.. God." She says quietly, and then stands up. Her body is all oiled up and glistening in the warm sun. She adjusts her bikini and place the sunglasses on her bikini top, "But officer, I didn't do anything wrong." She says in an overly naive voice.
"Are you attempting to obstruct justice, ma'am?" She asks before folding her arms. "If so, I can arrest you, and take you to the interrogation room in handcuffs if you want." Rachel's voice was cold, that's how her character was in the show.
Santana thinks that they should've done that a long time ago, because she can't even start to describe how hot it makes her feel. "Agent, I think there is a mistake here." She runs her fingertips on Rachel's arm, "I'm sure we can work this out."
Rachel raised a brow at Santana, unimpressed, even though deep down she loved the contact and wanted to take Santana right in their backyard, but she needed to stay in character. "You just assaulted a federal agent." She says, and then takes Santana's arm, gently moving it to her back, grabbing her other arm then she handcuffs Santana. "We're going downtown." She says before walking with Santana into the house, she leads them down some stairs, into their basement, which was set up to look like the interrogation room on her show. Rachel moves Santana over to the chair, sits her down, and then goes to the chair on the other side of the table. "Tell me what you know." She demands.
Santana looks around, she didn't expect Rachel to go through all this trouble just for their play, but she's so happy that she did. She gets to see her fiancée being all bossy in uniforms, without worrying she'd get hurt. And it was so long since she used handcuff and even longer since it was used on her. Santana, of course, plays along and leans back in her chair, "Oh, you have no idea just how much I know." She keeps her seductive tone, "But I'm not that easy to break, agent."
"You're looking at serious jail time, and I will make sure you don't get out if the drugs touch American soil." Rachel stood up, leaning against the table slightly, in a way giving Santana a good look at the cleavage. "If you cooperate, I can make sure your sentence isn't as severe."
And indeed Santana's eyes wander down to Rachel's cleavage and the Latina licks her lips. After a few moments, she looks back up with a calm expression, "I'm going to jail anyway, why don't you try and give me a better deal, sweet cheeks?" She's raising her eyebrow, "Because you're not getting anything out of me with the lame one you offered." She states and looks away.
Rachel keeps her cold look on Santana, not budging in the slightest. "I wonder what kind of prison you'll go to.." She asks with a slight smirk.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Santana asks.
"You being an accomplice to a drug cartel, and not being cooperative with me.. Well, I guess you will have to pray they don't get you in prison." Rachel says. "Tell me what you know, I will see about getting you into a prison where nothing bad will happen to you."
"I'm not telling you anything!" Santana says loudly and jumps up from her chair, making it fall, then distance herself from Rachel.
"Oh, you will tell me what I need to know." Rachel walks to Santana, closing any distance that the other woman tries to make. "And you will like it.. Now, go back to the table, sit in the other chair, and cooperate with me."
Santana scoffs and gets in Rachel's face, whispering slowly, "You're not scaring me."
"You forget.. I have the badge and gun." Rachel whispers. "I'm offering you a chance at life for information, I'd take it." She suggests. "It's very rare that I do this."
"Fine." Santana groans and walks back and sits on the other chair in the room, "I'll tell you everything you want to know." She rolls her eyes.
"Where are the drugs being shipped to?" Rachel sits on the table, looking down at Santana.
She doesn't have much confidence in her improvisation skills; Santana always was the one controlling the scenes in the past and now she needs to play along. "New Jersey's docks." She simply states, "Monday, after midnight."
"Thank you." Rachel states, then gets off the table, moves to behind Santana, places her hand on her fiancée's shoulders. "Now there are a couple more things I need from you.."
"What? I already told you everything." Santana says, keeping her voice even while her body's temperature is rising.
"I want to know.. What your body is saying.." Rachel's hands travel down Santana's body, inching closer to her core. "Tell me, what does it say when I touch you.. Here." She presses her index finger right above Santana's center.
Santana wants so badly to move her hips, but doesn't, "Hm.. Agent, I don't think it's legal what you're doing." She says and looks to her right, where Rachel's face is so closed to hers, but doesn't do anything.
"Answer my question, what does your body tell you?" Rachel asks calmly, her finger moving in circles.
Instinctively, Santana's hips move against Rachel's finger, "I need more, t-that's what it tells me." It's new for her and she's so ready to explore this to the fullest, especially when there is an orgasm at the end of this road and Rachel losing the uniform during.
"More, huh?" She asks with a smile. "How about when I do this.." Rachel slides her fingers through the side of Santana's bikini, then they travel into her core, going in and out slowly at first.
"God, yes." Santana moans and tries to move her hands, but can't because she's still cuffed. Rachel's touch excites her like no one ever did. She throws her head back and keeps moaning.
Rachel's free hand undid Santana's bikini top and let it fall down, she then grabbed her left breast and starts to caress it. "You know, I would never do this to someone I'm interrogating.. But you are a pretty hot exception." She whispers while her fingers move more inside.
"You, fuck.. You wanted me from the second you saw me, agent." She glances at Rachel and smirks, "Now that you have me at your mercy, what are you waiting for? I've been bad, I'm sure you can do something about it." She spreads her leg further and gives Rachel her best 'bad girl' look she can.
"My mercy, huh?" Rachel gives Santana a somewhat evil smirk, then she lets go of Santana for a second. "Get up; bend over against the table, now." She demands.
Santana lets a small whimper out, but then gets up and moves to the table, swaying her hips more than necessary for Rachel's enjoyment. She rests her body on the chilly table and adjusts her ass in a perfect position, then simply waits.
Rachel presses one hand on Santana's back, and her other hand near Santana's ass, caressing it gently. "You have a nice ass, you know that?" she asks then grips it once. "A very, nice ass.." Rachel then gets on her knees and pulls off the bikini. "I have a good feeling that this substance.." She licks Santana's core once. "Isn't suntan oil." She softly chuckles before digging her tongue inside Santana, moving her tongue around.
"Oh, God, yes!" They're alone, so Santana let herself moan loudly, "Who knew good girls, officers of the law, can do such a great job going down on someone." She smirks for only a second, then the moans takes over. Her body moves gently against Rachel's tongue; she's already so sensitive that she doesn't think she'd last long. "Fuck, faster! It feels so good."
Rachel obliged to Santana's request and moves her tongue as fast as she could. As an added bonus, where Rachel's mouth was not covering, she moved a couple fingers inside to further stimulate Santana.
"Holy shit!" It's hard to stay stable with her hands cuffed behind her back, but Santana does her best. When she feels Rachel's fingers, Santana gets so close to her climax. She moves her hips faster and letting out curses in both English and Spanish. She feels the tightness in her lower stomach, but holds it just a little longer. Rachel hits all the right places, giving her the best feeling in the world and Santana's body feels like it's on fire. She starts to slightly shake and finally let herself go and rides her orgasm. "Fuck that was so freaking amazing." She says, panting and sweating a little.
Rachel stands up and smirks. "You are cooperating, very well.." She says, and then helps Santana off the table, but making her sit on the chair. She pushes the chair up to the table, and then gets on the table herself. "Now I need you to, well.. Put that mouth of yours to some amazing use." She says while doing her best to stay in character. Rachel scoots to Santana, and then she raises her skirt a bit. "Try your best not to ruin my skirt?" She asks with a lip bitten smile.
Santana's eyes darken as she sees that Rachel isn't wearing anything under her skirt. Seeing how ready the woman is, only gets Santana more eager; she skips foreplay, only teasing Rachel a little, then licking and sucking on her clit and all around. She starts really fast, slows down, and then goes fast again; to drive Rachel crazy a little.
"Ooh.. Fuck.." Rachel leans back a bit, holding herself up by her hands on the table. "Yes.." She lets out a moan while moving her hips against Santana's mouth.
Santana moans against Rachel's skin, creating small vibrations and adds some gentle bites to her movements. She sticks her tongue inside Rachel for a few long moments; knowing exactly where to hit and how. She then just let Rachel move along her tongue in her own pace and enjoys hearing her moan. When it's clear that Rachel needs her badly, Santana begins to move her tongue much faster and harder against her.
Rachel couldn't help but to lie on the cold table, her moans getting louder with each tongue movement. "Yes, just.. L-Like that." She says while undoing a couple buttons on her top to help her breath better. "Mmm!" Her hips move faster, one hand gripping the table as her orgasm is soon to come.
It's hard for Santana not being able to use her hands, so hard she thinks she bruised her wrists a little from how she moved them. But that's not what's on her mind, giving Rachel a mind blowing orgasm is. So she doesn't stop moving her tongue in a fast pace, then when slows down and just flick it after Rachel is done. She cleans her up and place some kisses on her inner thighs before getting her head out and leaning back on the chair. "Haven't ruined your skirt." She grins and shakes her head a little to get some hair away from her face.
Sharp breathing was heard from Rachel after going through what she felt, a mind blowing experience, but even that didn't do this justice. Rachel sat up, looking over at Santana with a slight smile, she then moved a bit to straddle Santana's lap. "I think.." she takes a couple breaths. "I am going to place you under house arrest.." She says, and then places a deep kiss on Santana's lips. "My house arrest, that is." Rachel slightly bites down on her lip.
"Oh, my.." Santana smiles "Look who enjoys her power over a poor criminal." She chuckles. "What, I'd stay with you and you'd take advantage of me whenever you want?" She asks and gently bites Rachel's jaw.
"Yes, that's exactly it.." Rachel smirks some. "Sounds like a fair deal to keep you out of prison, and to keep a citizen safe." She chuckles, then moves her hands down Santana's back; she presses a button that's placed on the chain to undo the cuffs. "End scene." Rachel says in her normal voice, then brings her hands up to Santana's cheeks. "How did I do, in terms of role playing?" She asks in a nervous tone.
The second her hands free, Santana reaches to hold Rachel and bring her closer. She moves them under her fiancée's shirt and feels her skin as she closes the distance and gives Rachel a big kiss. "Babe, you're a great actress and by my moans, you should know you did very well." She smiles and takes her hands out, then just place them on the Rachel's hips.
Rachel rests her forehead against Santana's, missing the embrace of her fiancée. "I don't think I could pull that off again, I prefer your hands touching me.." She starts to explain with a gentle smile. "I like the closeness that it simulates.. Which makes when you hold me like this, so much better."
Santana nods, "No more tying me up." She says, "Not touching you drove me crazy anyway, you're my drug." She squeezes her hands gently for a few seconds, rubs her wrists and places them back around Rachel's body. "How do you feel about being tied up?" She asks, just wanting to know where they stand on this. Her fingers softly taps and caress Rachel's back as they talk.
"Well, I do owe you that since I cuffed you." Rachel winks at Santana. "After that, no more tying for either of us, deal?" She asks.
"No, its fine, you don't owe me anything, honey." She smiles at Rachel, "How about I go quickly to wash up and meet you in our room for a proper love making session?" Not having Rachel tied up is something Santana can live with, but pushing her fiancée isn't and they did enough today. Besides, her wrists are a little red and sore and she doesn't want Rachel to experience nor see it. So what she suggested gives her some time for the redness to pass so she won't worry Rachel. "We could lie in bed after and I'll bring us ice cream." She adds to the deal.
"Well, alright." Rachel slowly gets up. "I'll be waiting." she says before walking out of the basement.
Meanwhile, at the beach, Dani is having a wonderful time with Beth and Shelby. The other two are morning people and had such great energies when they picked her up that Dani was no longer tired. She and Shelby had some small talk that had to include at least one comment from Dani on what she saw and won't forget. Beth saved her mom by taking Dani's attention all to herself and the girls chatted all the way. It was a hot day so while they were setting up, Shelby reminded them to drink a lot. When everything was set, the girls went into the water for a quick swim to get cold and play a little. Because of her scars, Dani always wears a full bathing suit; she wasn't comfortable with them being out there for everyone to see, so her moms helped her chose some nice full ones. Shelby left the girls to read her book, not before telling them to be careful and that she'd buy them ice creams when they would like one.
"It's the perfect day for coming to the beach." Dani says after a little while of her and Beth being alone.
"It is, my mom loves taking little vacations like this." Beth swims up to Dani, smiling at her niece. "Say, how come you changed your hair?" She asks curiously.
Dani shrugs, "There isn't really a deep reason, I got a little bored with the previous one and wanted a fresh look." She explains.
Beth looks at Dani closely. "Are you going to change it again, like soon?" She asks. "If so, to what?"
"I'm not sure.." She answers and keep swimming around the young girl, "Maybe for my moms wedding and if Auntie Kurt and I would have a cool idea." Dani explains, then it turns into a grin when she thinks of her own question, "So Beth, is there someone you like at your school?"
"I guess.. No." Beth pursed her lips and sighed. "Honestly, I don't like anyone at my school, they're all kinda.. Stuck up."
"I get it, I go to an art school and most of the people there are like that." Dani says and takes some water in her hands, then wets her head, "But there has to be a cool group you can befriend with." She's trying to help and does the same thing with the water to Beth, so they won't get a heatstroke.
Beth shakes her head. "I go to a private school, that means everyone tries to be better than you." she explains with a sad tone in her voice. "Whenever kids' parents come over, I have to dress up so fancy to impress them, which I know that they don't care how I look or how my mom looks, they still think we're low class." Beth was nearly in vent mode, she had a legitimate hatred towards that school, especially for a young girl.
Dani makes a disgusted face, it hurts her to think Beth suffers at school; any school is a horrible place to go to, but having friends is what makes it enjoyable and the young girl needs to have someone. "That really sucks! You should talk to your mom; have her transfer you to a better school."
"My school is making me go to a different school because of how my grades are." Beth makes a bit of a sad face, looking at Dani.
Dani furrows her eyebrows, "What? I don't understand."
"My grades are too high, and they don't want me at that school because it would make the other kids feel insulted." Beth states. "I just started middle school there, and they're suggesting I go to high school." She tries her best to explain, but even she doesn't completely get it. "So my mom has been looking for another private school, but I don't want to go, if I have to go to high school it should be a public school."
"You're only 12.." Dani doesn't fully gets what's going on, but Beth is obviously doesn't like the situation, "Look, if you have great grades, you should be in some gifted program, but you shouldn't give up on being a child!" She tells the girl what she thinks. She herself gets a little nervous thinking she'd be in college in less than three years. "If you'd talk to your mom about how you feel, I'm sure she won't force you to go to a private one. There has to be a nice public one you can go to, where you can have friends and continue to be a genius." She giggles a little at the end.
"Good point." Beth smiles a bit. "You know, it'd be weird if I ended up at your school, I hear it has a gifted program for kids my age." She mentions while swimming a bit more.
"Ugh, my school isn't that great.." Dani says, "But if you'll end up there, I know a cool group that would happily take you in." She splashes the girl that is also her aunt and laughs.
Beth gasped, and then blew the water from her lips. "Young lady, I am your aunt!" She says out loud with a smirk on her face. "So don't drop me." she says before latching herself to Dani, clinging to Dani was always her thing with her niece. "Take us to my mother." she demands in a regal like voice. "Please?" She gives Dani a cheeky smile.
"Cute and smart, like all the women in this family." They might not be blood related, but they don't need to be, they're all so similar and fit perfectly together. "Let's go eat some ice cream!" She says and carries Beth towards Shelby.
Back home, Santana went upstairs to take a shower. Under the stream of cold water, she thinks of how much her life changed and how her relationship with Rachel evolved over the years. She's just so damn happy. She turns off the water not too long after getting in and looks at her wrists; they're still red, but much better. Santana dries herself and puts on one of her big shirts and panties. Knowing Rachel, Santana doesn't expect the girl to just lay and wait for her; she knows she probably grabbed a book or watching something. She dries her hair a bit more, making sure not to drip all over the place, then walks into the room.
Rachel is lying in their bed, completely nude under the blanket, she felt that since they had the house to themselves, why have anything on while they're alone? She was reading a book while Santana was in the shower, for the most part; playing her character in a sexual manner was exhausting, not just physically but mentally.
"Hey, cutie." Santana says with a bright smile and gets in the bed. She scoots a little closer to Rachel and pulls the sheets up, happy with what she sees; Santana lets them fall back on Rachel's body. "Are you busy?" She asks and rests her head on her hand and looks at Rachel.
Rachel looks over at Santana with a calm smile. "No, just reading." She says, and then places the book on the nightstand. "What's up?" Rachel asks.
"Nothin', I just love you." Santana puts her free hand over Rachel's stomach and moves closer. "And thank you, it was crazy good."
"I love you too, and you are more than welcome." Rachel moves closer to Santana then moves her hand under Santana's shirt to feel her stomach. "How are you so perfect in every way?" She asks.
Santana shakes her head, "I can't wait to see you in your dress and marry you." She tells Rachel, "It's would be the best day of my life."
"There's a lot I can't wait for, like seeing you in your dress." Rachel shifts her left leg to where it was resting between Santana's legs. "Saying those magical two words, having that special kiss, then us making our family bigger, I mean.. Our lives have only been getting better."
"And they will keep getting better." Santana kiss Rachel's nose, "I just think about Dani going to college and us having babies and my heart starts racing." She chuckles.
"I couldn't ask for a better wife, not that I'd want to." Rachel pecks Santana's lips once. "Everything about you is just perfect, beyond even."
"Say, I'd have to wait until we get to Paris before I could take you?" Santana seriously asks and runs her fingers over her body.
"No, we'd be leaving for Paris the next day." Rachel explains. "You could take me any time before we leave, hell, even during." She winks.
"Hmm.. I should've known we'll join the high mile club." She laughs and shakes her head. "But really now, I'm so excited about being married," She slowly takes down the sheet between them down, "Saying I do in front of our family, having kids and raise them, growing old together.." She pulls the sheet back over both of their bodies and places her hand over Rachel's middle.
"It's going to be spectacular." Rachel placed a soft kiss on Santana's lips. "In seven months, I will be Mrs. Rachel Berry-Lopez.. I'm obsessed with the idea of that."
Santana leans back on the headboard to be more comfortable and so she could hug Rachel properly. "We can go all day being lovey dovey, huh?"
"Yes, and we have the time to do so." Rachel grazes Santana's hip gently. "Do you have any regrets in terms of our relationship?"
"You know I'm not the type of person that always looks back and wants to change things." Santana says, "Of course I wish that it would've been easier for us, with less pain and tears.. I'd love for you to be my high school sweetheart and for us to somehow get Dani out before someone could lay a hand on her." She sighs and shrugs, "But our past brought us to this awesome point; we're engaged, we have a daughter, you have a healthy relationship with your mom and sister and we're all one big happy family. Add one or two babies into this and my life would be perfect." She smiles and holds Rachel tighter. "Do you have any?"
"Yeah, I got one." Rachel looks at her fiancée, slightly biting her lower lip. "I regret not telling you that you looked beautiful every day, even though you never needed the confirmation." She admits.
"You know you're the only one that makes me blush when you compliment me?" Santana cups Rachel's face, "And you're telling me that's too often as it is." She says and pecks her lips, "But you're the one that has everything; beauty, talent, the brain, the huge heart." With every compliment Santana pecks Rachel's lips and turns her on her back. She's pressing herself against the woman who's soon to be her wife and look into her eyes, "I'm the luckiest woman in the whole world."
"Second luckiest, I get to have you, so I am pretty lucky knowing my geeky past." Rachel chuckles softly then pecks Santana's chin. "You know.. I have a craving for that ice cream, how about we get the pint, a couple spoons and watch some movies..." She suggests then moves Santana's shirt past her chest. "In stark."
"Absolutely." Santana lets Rachel take off her shirt, "Though I'm not promising to keep my hands to myself." She states and gets up to go to the kitchen. Before leaving the room, Santana takes off her panties, bending over in the process, while she's with her back to Rachel. She quickly goes to the kitchen to get everything they need and goes back then walks back to the room. The couple spends the rest of their alone time cuddled together, eating ice cream, watching movies and stealing kisses from time to time. Shelby gave them a great gift; their days are crazy and they needed some time off with each other. And that time was well spent.
The remainder of the weekend for Rachel and Santana was laid back and enjoyable, and almost had no reason to get out of bed except for taking the dog out on his walk. Monday morning hit and the couple had gotten ready for the day, Santana thought it would be a good idea to pick Dani up from Shelby's house and go out for a picnic with Dex as well. Rachel of course agreed, she enjoyed the time she had with just Santana, but she wouldn't be complete if Dani wasn't there to complete this family fun puzzle. They make it to Shelby's apartment building and Dani was already waiting for them with a smile. Eventually, after Santana like normal, arguing with traffic, they make it back by their house, but they head a little ways down the road to a park that's nearby. The car gets parked, and the trio plus Dex all get out, Dani ran with Dex over to one of the play structures. Rachel and Santana were slow in following them since they had a couple of food baskets in hand.
"It's such a beautiful day and look how happy she is." Santana tells Rachel as they watch their daughter and dog running around. "I can totally see us coming here again, just with a stroller.. If Dani won't think she's too cool to spend time with her moms." She says and actually gets a little emotional with just the thought.
"You know how she is." Rachel gives Santana a smirk. "She may be 16, but at heart, she's a little kid, and I have a good feeling that when we have a baby around.. Well, she won't be able to leave them alone." She says before the approach a nice spot under the tree.
"Yeah, you're probably right." Santana giggles and starts to set everything up. "If this weekend was a day longer, I think I'd be pregnant by now." She keeps laughing. What can she say? She's in a great mood.
"Once again, if only I could get you pregnant." Rachel winks and smirks a bit.
Santana takes her shoes off and sits down, "We'll keep trying." She jokes and eats some bread straight from the basket. "God, look at how big Dex got and he still insists on sitting on me all the freaking time."
Rachel sits down and takes a piece of bread that Santana had. "He's a lot like Dani, you know?" She points out. "No matter how big they get, they love their mothers."
Santana laughs and nods, "You're on point today." She says and pecks Rachel's lips.
Dani and Dex runs to where the moms set the picnic and while Dani stops when she gets there, Dex bumps slightly into Rachel. "Didn't you have enough alone time?" She rolls her eyes at the couple and sits. She looks around and claims one of the boxes of the fruit salad and a sandwich.
"We just pecked lips, daughter." Rachel glares at Dani a few seconds before she turns her attention to Dex. "Why hello Dex, who's a handsome big guy?" She carefully plays with the dog's ears.
Santana watch how the dog reacts to Rachel petting him, then reaches to take out the apple juice they brought. "So you said you had fun with Shelby and Beth," She place one bottle in front of Dani, "But tell us how it was." She asks and starts eating her sandwich.
Dani drinks a little before answering her mom, and then place the bottle back on the blanket. "It was really great; we played on the beach and ice cream, we watched a couple of movies and cooked, then Beth and I stayed up and talked. She's such an amazing girl." She lets it all out with joy.
"I bet." Rachel grabs a dog treat for Dex, and then feeds it to him. "How was grandma doing?" She asks as she looks over at Dani.
"Good." Dani says with her mouth full of food. She takes a moment to swallow, then speak again, "I showed her one of mama's recipes and she liked it and we had a little talk about how things were when you just took me in and she was nothing like the woman I first met."
Being over protective as she is, Santana never stops worrying about the ones close to her, especially her girls. She was nervous about something happening to Dani while she's gone or that the girl won't feel comfortable sleeping there and would be too shy to ask to go home and even now, when she looks this happy, her heart raced a bit when Dani said she and Shelby had a talked. But everything is fine and she's so proud her daughter for being open to someone even though they hurt her once, that's something she gotten better at, but still need to work on. "It's very good to hear, D." She tells the teen.
"Yeah, she's cool." Dani says and watches her Dex enjoying the attention from her mom.
"I am very glad you enjoyed your time with grandma and Beth." Rachel gives Dani a smile. "Ya' know, in such a short amount of time.. You grew up so much." She points out, almost feeling sad that she brought it up. "Not long from now, you'll be 18 and going off on your own to do whatever you want, without the binds of your Mama and I's rules." She continues, now just to the point she wants to shed a tear or two. "And.. You won't need us.. You'll be your own woman.."
Dani glance at her mama and back to her mom, she wasn't expecting her to burst with emotions. "Don't worry, mom, I can't get too far, I'd still need you to do my laundry." She chuckles, "And come on, it's two years from now, there is tons of time!"
"Your mom has a point, honey." Santana says and caress Rachel's thigh, not wanting to see her sad. "We just want you with us, but you soon will start your independent life away from us."
"Ma, I'm not going to start being a party girl once I go to college or whatever." She tries to calm her moms down, "It's not going to lose me and you won't just sit around the house and miss me.. You have your work and probably will have a baby to take care of, it's all good." She shrugs and takes another bite.
"I'm still going to dread the day you go, it's because you came into our lives that this family remotely started." Rachel wasn't shy to admit it. "It'll continue while you're gone, but we will miss you so damn much."
"And I will miss you too, it's thanks to you that I have this great life and I'm even able to think of college." Dani says while she keeps looking between her moms, "Look at your own relationships with your moms; mama talks to abuela almost every day and even if she lives far, you see each other, and mom, grandma moved here to be close to you and you're talking more." She keeps saying, "And come on, we're like the closest family in the world, us and Kurt, I doubt we'd drift, none of us would never let that happen."
Santana looks proudly at Dani as the girl talk. She'd love to keep her at home, with them, forever, but she knows her girl is going to do big things and she's glad she'd be able to see it. "I'm so freaking happy that you trust your mom enough to come home with her and I'm even happier that with the help of your therapist, you got better."
Rachel watches her girls closely, anytime the family get together it's magical. "We all got better, and will continue to get better." She says with a smile.
"And Dex is going to get bigger if you won't stop feeding him, mom." Dani laughs.
Santana joins Dani and giggles as she turns to her fiancée, "Oh, we don't want that, he already drags me when we ran in the evenings." She glares at the dog, then leans over Rachel and pets his head. "And you, my beautiful, healthy future wife, need to eat some of the delicious food we brought." She pecks Rachel's lips and sits back up.
"Yeah, yeah." Rachel rolls her eyes, and then looks through one of the baskets for her salad. "You know, we almost never do this?" She points out, before setting the bowl she portioned for herself on her lap. "It's nice."
"It is." Santana agrees and takes a sip of her juice, "We need to take more breaks like this, I feel so energetic!"
"Yeah, it's not too bad to hang out with you, old people." Dani smirks and pets her thigh so Dex would come sit next to her.
Santana throws a grape at Dani, "Stop calling us old, we're not even 30."
"No, no." Rachel grazes Santana's leg gently. "Its fine, I guess we're too old to take our daughter to Comic Con this year, huh?" She asks sarcastically. "I don't think our brittle ole bones could make it past security."
Dani's eyes widen and her head snaps to her mom, "Are you serious? Because it's cruel if you are."
"Yeah, we're not that old now, are we?" Rachel smirks towards their daughter. "My show has a panel there for the 2nd day, and the network is paying for me to attend, I have a family package for Comic-Con which includes two guests on top of it." She explains.
"Oh my God!" Dani says loudly and drops what's left of her sandwich and runs to her mom, "This is so effin amazing!" She hugs her tightly, "You're just a little younger now." She chuckles. Being in her mom's embrace was always something that gave her power, like it heals her soul or something. Although lately, nothing bad happened, it still has the same effect.
Santana stops eating and looks at her girls, thinking that how perfect these last few days were. She takes out her phone and snaps a few pictures, and then turns just in time to warn Dex not eat Dani's food.
Tell us what you think!
'till next time.
