Thank you for reading
Four months later…
"What is your job experience?" the woman at the quick mart asked a very confused Joel." I was an assassin for practically all my life so I am sure I got a lot of helpful experience during that time." He explained not catching the look of horror on the employers face." What's wrong?" he asked not seeing the problem then he realized what he had just said." Not again." He sighed out loud frustrated with his self. "Um can we just forget my previous statement and I write down none?" he asked a still shocked woman." Ok I guess this wasn't the right job for me. Thank you." walking out of the office Joel sighed he was never going to get a job if he kept letting that slip.
Three years later…..
"Did everyone RSVP?" Quinn asked continuing to put red plastic silverware in the container Brittany had handed her to put the utensils in so the wind didn't throw them off the picnic tables they had set up for today's cookout. Sam and Artie were on the grill already as well as Joel and his wife and their six month old baby boy. Everyone else had called to say they were making their way to the Lopez's residence this morning." This house is amazing Britt, I know I say that every time we hold these dinner's here but I am so happy you guys moved." Quinn smiled over to her friend who was folding napkins." Thank you Quinn, I am very happy we moved as well. With our family growing this yard is just what we need." Quinn nodded." How many weeks now before our newest little Lopez arrive?" Quinn asked knowing it had to be real soon." We are due in two weeks and four days but how it's looking probably a lot sooner than that." Brittany explained thinking about their newest addition bringing a smile to her lips." Is Alivia ready for a baby brother?" Quinn asked thinking about the feisty three year old." Oh yes she is. She has been asking us every day when he'll be coming out." Brittany laughed. Suddenly the patio doors opened up and out came a bouncing three year old." Auntie Quinn." Alivia happily exclaimed as she ran to the blonde who had stopped doing what she was doing to greet the little girl she hadn't seen in almost a month since she has been traveling with her boyfriend of two years." I have missed you so much baby girl and oh my god you have grown since the last time I have seen you." Quinn wrapped her arms around the little girl giving her a kiss on the top of the head." Si I have." Alivia proudly agreed." All that healthy food I bet." Quinn continued conversation as Brittany looked up to see two people walking out to the backyard." Oh my there is Prego number two." Brittany exclaimed rushing over to greet the red haired woman who was holding her boyfriend's hand tightly as she walked down the steps" Hey sweetness." Sugar happily greeted the blonde." I have missed you guys so much." Sugar dramatically said as Brittany gave the woman a side hug to avoid the stomach. Placing her hands on Sugars stomach she gave it a little rub." I can't believe how far you are. Seems like yesterday you were telling us over dinner" Brittany was excited for the two." Nate I am so happy you got the weekend off to join us as well." Brittany greeted the man who gave her a little nod smiling." I am happy to be here with you all. Sugar talks about you all so much and I know I am new to the group but I hope one day to gain all of your trust." He explained thinking about all the phone calls he received the first three months of dating Sugar from the group wanting to talk to him and warn him about hurting the girl." We already trust you Nate, if we didn't trust me no one would ever be able to find you again." Brittany said seriously to the man who now wasn't sure if the blonde in front of him was joking or truthful but he nervously laughed a little anyways not sure how to react to that." You're cool Nate." Brittany said relieving the short blonde haired man." I'll see you guys in a few Santana is about to come out." Brittany explained before walking up the stairs and into her house where she found her beautiful wife standing in the middle of the dining room." You ready to come out and mingle my lovely?" Brittany asked as she took her wife's hand." Yes I am." Santana smiled just happy their family would all be here today to relax and catch up on each other's lives." Well look at you Missy." Puck laughed seeing his old partner and now best friend coming out of the house." Shut up Puckerman." Santana said rolling her eyes knowing if someone would say something it would indeed be him." I love the belly look I have never seen you with one before and I am defiantly getting a picture." Puck laughed before looking down to see a little brown haired blue eyed girl looking up at him glaring." Don't you be mean to my Mami; she is carrying my baby brother in that stomach." The scary mini version of Santana crossed her arms across her chest." Whoa, hold up little A I would never be mean to your Mami or brother." He held both hands up seriously creped out. Santana laughed as she patted her daughter on top of her head proud." Don't mess with me Puckerman I have a minion." Santana said still laughing." That you do."
"Baby come talk to me." Santana pouted loving to see Brittany mingle but she would rather have her all to herself at the moment." What is it sweetheart?" Brittany asked stepping away from the small crowd of people she was talking to, to go make her needy wife happy." I just want you beside me." Santana confessed bluntly not even thinking of an excuse." You always have me." Brittany shot back." For the last three years and for the rest of our lives remember?" Brittany rubbed Santana's stomach wanting to feel their baby move." He's jumping up and down." Brittany smiled" Because he can feel his mommy." Santana said placing her hands over her wife's." I can't wait to meet our little man." Santana thought out loud." Me either baby. He's going to be an amazing addition to this family." Santana couldn't contain how fast her heart raced even after all these years when Brittany said things like that." Baby I love you." Brittany's smile widened." Me too San"
"Sorry to bust your two's moment there but we would all love to eat sometime today." Quinn snapped making both Brittany and Santana roll their eyes." Yes mama." Santana said annoyed." She's just jealous." Brittany whispered in the Latina's ear making Santana nod and giggle." Whatever she just said isn't true." Quinn said shaken her head at the two." Oh it's true." Brittany stuck out her tongue. "Ok kids lets behave." Finn said somewhere down on the other side of the picnic table. Everyone else started to laugh at their friend's childlike behavior. Santana cleared her throat before she started her speech." Thank you all for coming over today I know some of you have been away for quite some time now and we have all missed you so much but I am happy after all these years free from council, we have made our own lives. I know it's not been easy but thank god our jobs paid us all very well throughout the years while we were under them that we all have been living out our own dreams now with new homes, cars, families and the two almost newest additions to this growing family of ours. It's been amazing to watch you all grow into your own people living in a life you don't have to hide or lie about what you do." Santana looked over at her wife shooting her a secret smile only the two knew about then to her daughter who was ready to clap for her Mami's speech." That's all I got so dig in." Santana added ready to eat herself." Wait, before we all dig in." Quinn stood she was blushing which caught Santana's point of interest because the blonde barely got embarrassed.' Puck and I have an announcement." Everyone looked from the man sitting down smiling at them to the standing blushing blonde. Sugar gasped as it dunned on her what Quinn was about to announce and she squeezed both Nate and Joel's hands tightly." We are getting married bitches." The table erupted in cheers and 'congratulations' a very pregnant sugar made her way over to the blonde wrapping her arms around the blonde's neck." I knew it would be soon." Sugar happily exclaimed." I am in the wedding right?" sugar asked seriously making Quinn laugh." Yes you are." Quinn kissed sugar's belly." You hear that little Sugar auntie Q is going to be married." The baby moved making both women laugh. "Congrats sweetie" Brittany exclaimed before wrapping her arms around the other blonde's neck" Thank you baby." Quinn said as they embraced.
"Good god Puck it took you long enough." Santana teased before she let the man engulf her into a hug." You know what Lopez I am going to be the bigger man and just take that as a compliment." Puck said before he was slapped in the back." If you hurt her I will haunt you down." Santana started. Pulling away" I know the speech trust me have you seen Quinn fight she can defiantly take care of her own." Puck explained as shock as he was the day he found out about his girlfriend's strength." Taught her everything she knows." Santana announced proudly." I bet you did." After everyone got back to their seats it was time to eat and just relax. These people each and every one of them meant the world to Santana and she would still die for anyone of them today. As she glanced around at the many faces some new ones, she couldn't help but feel so much pride, love and warmth for this group of people. She knew they would all face troubles everyone did but she knew they would always have each other's back because together they were stronger.
The end!
