The remainder of January was amazing for the young couple, they spent most of their time getting as much work done so they can so things for their wedding can go even smoother than its gone since they started planning and getting things together. However this work didn't go without its stressful moments every so often, but they had each other, that was the drive they needed to fight through the stuff they dealt with.

But that was just a tiny part of how hard they really work at getting everything situated.

Outside of school, Dani was getting extra work done at Vogue so she could take time off for the wedding, which luckily for her, Kurt was more than happy to give her that as a second wedding present.

Over on Marley's end, she's been taking on more commissions to cover extra costs going into Dani's 21st birthday which was coming up very soon. The brunette planned a day of nothing but consistent romance for her fiancée. Candles, non-alcoholic champagne, chocolates that Marley will feed to Dani, and the icing on the cake, a rare Batman collective book called "Arkham Museum: The Complete Behind The Scenes Experience". Yes, Marley was indeed dedicated to make Dani's birthday, the best birthday ever.

On a bright morning on February 15th, the light shined a bit through the blinds of Dani and Marley's apartment. Marley, of course was the one to wake up from it as it practically shined against her face. She opened her eyes and stayed in Dani's embrace for a few minutes, not moving, just waking up and enjoying the comfort. After she woke up a bit, she smiles some and places a couple gentle kisses upon Dani's lips, making the second one last longer than the first. "Wake up…" whispered Marley.

Dani stirs and tightens her hold on Marley's waists. She stretches her upper body and legs, then let out a small yawn. With her eyes still closed, Dani places kisses on random parts of Marley's face and nodding back to sleep.

Marley softly chuckled at the adorableness of Dani, she could gaze at such a perfect site asleep all day. But they had a lot of stuff to do today, so she can't let Dani sleep in long. "Dani.. Open your eyes, ma femme.."

It takes Dani a few seconds, in which she frowns, but finally she does open her eyes. She smiles lazily at her fiancée and pulls the cover up some, before finding the woman's waist again.

"Happy birthday, Dani." Marley says and brushes her nose against Dani's, keeping as close to her fiancée as possible. "Today, I am gonna treat you so good." she smiles while running one hand through Dani's hair.

"Thank you, baby." The sleep gradually disappears and she feels more awake. "What do you have planned?" Dani asks and runs her fingertips on Marley's back.

A hum comes out of Marley's person, she loved the feeling of Dani's fingertips against her back. "Well, we're going to have a nice breakfast with your favorite ingredients, yes the expensive kind." She starts off with. "Then you will kick your feet up on our reclining couch and play video games while I prepare snacks for you." She presses closer. "After, I'll feed you some luxurious chocolates from that site you showed me." Marley bites her lip and grazes Dani's cheek. "In the evening, I'll dress up as one of your favorite anti-heroes and dance for you.. How does that sound?"

Dani nodded while Marley told her about the day; completely happy with her fiancée's plans. The last part, though, fully woken her up. A jolt runs through her body and her eyes flicker to Marley's lips. "Since I'm the birthday girl," Dani trails her fingers lower on Marley's back until she reaches the waistband and grazes the skin above it. "-can I decide I want to start with the dance?" Dani asks with the most innocent voice she can muster.

"You could, but that's going to be saved for later because I love you and you'll want some dinner entertainment." Marley winks. "But.. I could provide a little bit of entertainment before we have to face today.. If you'd like." she bites her lip and then leans in a little to gently mesh their lips together.

The birthday girl moans into the kiss and opens her mouth to allow Marley's tongue access. This birthday only just started and it's already much better than her last, when Marley was away. She definitely approves of it and can't wait to spend the whole day being spoiled by her fiancée. Dani grabs Marley's shirt with one hand and the other is on the woman's lower back, pushing her down. Dani tangle her legs with Marley's, with the idea to slowly start grinding against her in mind. Only now someone decided it's a good time to call and burst her bubble. Dani groans when she pulls away and reach for her phone. "Hello?" She tries to sound as she'd normally would, only her voice has a bit of an edge to it.

"Hey, Bat-breasts, happy birthday!" the person on the other end of the phone was Beth, and she had a bit of enthusiasm in her voice. "Em and I wanted to wish you a good one, and that we love you, and we wanna hang out."

Dani roll her eyes when hearing the nickname, but smiles because she wouldn't have it any other way. "Thank you both." She saves any comment about how they could've called later. "And, hmm, about that last part… Marley kind of have the whole day planned out." Dani tells Beth while her index finger moves over Marley's jawline.

"Aw, come on, it's the big 21 and we miss ya!"

Marley paid little to no mind to the fact that Dani was on the phone, she was already in a trance from their making out that she decides to start unbuttoning the buttons on her cute Ninja Turtles pajama top. She kisses at every piece of exposed skin as she goes down.

Dani gasps when the cool air touch her skin and how it quickly burns when Marley kiss it. She doesn't really want her fiancée to stop, but she's on the phone. Dani ends up with her hand in Marley's hair; not doing anything to either stop or encourage her. "I c-can't." Dani clear her throat, her cheeks turning red. "Marley, she bought stuff and have all these plans." She gulps. "We can meet up another day."

"Another day that's after your birthday? But we wanna do something awesome for you today!" Beth of course argues that.

Feeling Dani's body tense up like this makes Marley more into what she's doing, in fact she could do this forever if she kept getting this for a reaction. Marley gently pulls down the pants a slight amount, kissing along the waist area, from the center to the side right above the hip. Her tongue does circles in the area before opening her mouth to suck against the skin, making a loud pop like sound when her lips part from Dani's skin.

"Damn!" Dani mutter and hopes the blonde on the other side of the line didn't hear her. "I'll still be 21 tomorrow; we can do whatever crazy thing you've got planned then." She doesn't want to come off annoyed, but Dani is having a really hard time staying calm considering what's being done to her.

Beth heard that pop sound from the other end, which caused a little giggle from her. "Alright, Jackrabbit, I'll leave you alone. Love you!" and thus she hangs up.

In that little bit of time, Marley had pulled Dani's pants down some more, kissing at the inside of her thighs. She wants to go all out today, so she doesn't stick to just kissing, in fact, she starts to nibble on Dani's thigh, letting out soft noises of pleasure.

Dani doesn't at all care that Beth caught on, not at the moment, not when Marley is doing what Dani can only consider as magic. She drops the phone someone on the bed and jerk her hips up. Her hands grips the sheets and she feels like it's the middle of the summer. "Please, Marls." It comes out more as a sound of pure pleasure, then a plea.

Like Marley needed to hear that again, she too was getting more than turned on by the way Dani's body moves against her. She's unsure herself on how long she can continue this without needing some pleasure herself, but while she has the focus on Dani, she's gonna continue as much as she can. Marley pulled the pajama pants the rest of the way down and starts sliding her tongue along the inner thighs of Dani for a few moments before making it to her center.

"It's my b-birthday, so no teasing." Dani says and roll her hips again.

"I'm teasing myself, just by making you move the way you do." Marley looks up at Dani with lust in her eyes. She slowly crawls up, kissing at every piece of skin that her lips can touch before facing the woman before her. "But.. You're right, it is your birthday.." she lets out before quickly removing her top and slides out of her pajama bottoms so that Dani won't be the only one naked. After that, Marley sits up some and bites her lip.

Dani lick her lips as her eyes rake Marley's middle section; the muscles she has there can actually make her drool. Looking over her soon to be wife turns her on like nothing else and god, she's so in love with the woman. Dani sits up just a tiny bit and let her fingers roam up and down Marley's toned stomach. She can't help it and her hips jerk up. "You're seriously the sexiest woman alive." Dani husks out.

"I am pretty sure you got me mixed up with you, my dear." Marley returns the compliment then reaches to cup Dani's face, leaning slightly to mesh her lips against her fiancée's.

The birthday girl put her arms tightly around Marley and pulls her as closer as they can possibly get. She sucks on Marley's upper lips, then take the bottom one between her teeth, before deepening the kiss.

During this kiss, Marley slightly adjusted the two of them. To where they were lying on their side with Dani's back against Marley's front, so yeah they did break the kiss temporarily. The second that they continue the kiss, Marley ran one hand up and down Dani's front, giving the birthday girl some sensual feeling going on.

One of Dani's hands grips the sheet and the other cups Marley's face. A shiver goes through her body as a reaction to her fiancée's touch and she moans into the kiss. Dani doesn't want to break the kiss, however she needs more. So she moves her hand from Marley's face to her arm and guides her down, to between her legs and push her hips against it.

Marley knew right off the bat that Dani would move her arm, it didn't bother her at all, she wants to treat Dani all day. This was just the start of it. She ran her hand against the outside of Dani's center, going from a stroke pattern to a circular motion, just to make sure Dani is more than ready for what's sure to come.

Dani slows down the kiss until they're only pecking each other's lips. "She opens her eyes and bumps her nose against Marley's. "I love you." Dani says, a little out of breath, and continues the light kissing. She's trying to be patient, knowing Marley is going to touch her where she needs her soon.

The taller woman presses her front a bit more against Dani's back, and during their kisses she would gently nibble Dani's lower lip on occasion. Marley's hand continues its motion for a little while longer, when she feels that Dani is ready, she slides her middle and ring fingers inside of her fiancée and keeps them still for a few moments.

Dani stops the kiss, but doesn't move from her fiancée's lips. She relaxes and lets her body adjust to the feeling. Dani have so much respect towards Marley for how gentle and caring she is. She considers herself lucky to have found someone she can fully trust and that has her best interest in heart. "You can move, baby." She says shyly after a bit and bits her lip.

A slow nod is what Marley responds with, she starts moving her fingers at a slow and gentle pace so Dani can respond to this. Yes, Marley is careful with Dani because she cares about her. While her fingers do some magic, Marley kisses at the side of Dani's lips, eventually making the pace go a bit faster.

While her body crave more, Dani is perfectly fine with the pace. The feelings going through her body are so good and the connection she feels with the woman she loves is amazing. Dani will eventually need it faster and since Marley knows her body so well, she'll do it perfectly. It's something worth waiting for. It's also nice how her arousal is building up more and more. And these kisses on her skin making her heart flutter.

Marley lowers herself slightly so she can kiss at Dani's neck without straining her own, with the arm against Dani's body staying in its position. Her fingers twirl around inside of Dani, giving her what her body is asking for. Marley can feel the movements of Dani's body that she herself is causing, it gives her a sudden high from the fact that she's able to do so much for Dani in just a few strokes. Of course that's love, and love pushes the physical feelings, emotions, everything to a bigger scale than normal.

"Oh god, yes! You're so good." Dani lets out quietly and keeps moving her hips in sync with the fingers inside her. "I bet you're almost as close as I am just from touching me and hearing me response to your pleasure." Dani is trying to tease despite how focused she is on her own pleasure and the hazed her mind has because of it. Even though they're together for many years now, being touched by her fiancée excites her and damn, if she'd keep hitting that sweet spot, Dani is going to be done.

Soft hums come out of Marley while she continues to work Dani's core the way she is. The mixture of her scent, her moans, her body rocking against Marley's front. God it was definitely like a drug, and she could continue taking this forever, but she needed to focus more on Dani so she puts some pressure with her fingers. Pushing them in and taking them out in intervals.

Dani takes a deep breath and her body tenses up as she exhales. "Oh, M-Marley." She moans out quietly. The pleasing feeling of reaching her climax hitting every cell of her body. The calming feeling that comes after, is euphoric and better than any drug. Dani slowly turns around and nuzzle into Marley's neck, placing soft kisses against her skin. She press their fronts together and let her hand slip between her fiancée's legs and to her wetness.

That moment caused Marley to let out some sharp moans, yes she was already awaiting for some satisfaction herself, well, more of it. Marley licked her lips and gently lifted up Dani's face to fully kiss her in the midst of her moaning.

It causes Dani to smile and it's always great to know she can make her soon to be wife so turned on. Dani quickly finds a very sensitive bundle of nerves. She uses her index finger in slow circular motions, wanting to draw out more of those nice noises the woman makes. Dani deepens the kiss even more when she thinks about how stunning Marley looks when she climax and all her muscles tens up.

Marley rolled her eyes from what Dani was doing to her as her hand moves from Dani's face, and slowly travels down towards Dani's ass. When she feels it, she gives it a squeeze, not hard to hurt her, but possibly enough to leave a little print there.

Dani squeals and it surely doesn't help that she's still very sensitive. She could easily spend a few good hours of them treating each other. Dani takes advantage of their lips being apart and starts nibbling on Marley's neck. Her finger moves faster against the woman, keeping a steady rhythm. "How am I able to leave the bed each morning when you're next to me?" Dani husks against Marley's neck. "You're so beautiful. I don't know what I want more; for you to touch me or for me to fuck you." Dani whispers the two last words in her fiancée's hear and places a kiss on her jaw.

"W-Would you like both, birthday girl?" Marley asks and follows it up with a seductive growl. Luckily for her, Dani isn't tall like Marley is, so she could reach a good portion of Dani's body. So Marley lifted Dani's leg up a slight amount and positions her arm to where they could still comfortable please each other. Then, she gives Dani some familiar pleasure in return.

"Holy shit, Marls." Dani cries out. She meant what she said as a tease, to turn Marley on some more. Now she's being touched again and she's so close to her second climax. Despite the fact that she's now panting, Dani is placing kisses on every patch of skin she can reach. She speeds her movements of her hand between her fiancée's legs and moans at how pleasing everything is right now.

Marley bit the inside of her bottom lip, letting out soft whimpers every so often at the cause of Dani's increase in movement. She swears that if she bit down any harder that her lip would start bleeding, not that she would care at this moment if it did. The brunette let go of her clenching against her lip to let out deep and sharp breaths.

Not able to hold it back, Dani calls out Marley's name and collapses against the woman. She keep her hand moving as she's trying to catch her breath and control the shaking of her body.

A gasp escapes Marley the second that she hits her climax, and her breath went from sharp, to shaky. Mouthing "Oh god…" repeatedly, in some cases she whispers it as her arm wraps around Dani's waist to keep her closer than they already were.

"And that is how you start celebrating your birthday." Dani says and giggles and place a quick peck on Marley's lips. It's the winter and she's actually sweating, not that she's going to complain, her morning is fantastic so far.

Marley caught her breath and smiled some. "Just think, your birthday just started.." she says with a soft chuckle and runs one hand against Dani's back. "I have tons more stuff planned for you, Mon Amour." Marley gives Dani a peck and smiles a little bigger.

"I need some rest and a good shower before we get started on that." She points out and chuckles. Dani moves to lean on her back in an attempt to cool down. She keep her eyes on Marley, though, the woman is so fascinating to her and that just her physical appearance. "I kind of like you, do you know that?" Dani jokes.

"Kind of, huh?" Marley gently taps Dani's nose for a few moments. "Well, Ma always said, the best way to anyone's heart, is through their stomach." she bites her lip shyly and sits up some. "You can rest all you want, I will make you breakfast and feed it to you myself." she suggests as she pulls the blanket up some to cover herself.

Dani pouts now that the view she enjoyed is covered. "Just because it's my birthday doesn't mean you're a slave. We can make breakfast together." She says with a more serious tone and glance to see what time it is. Still early for a day off.

"You just won't let go of that one time I burnt the rice, will you?" Marley raises a brow towards Dani but keeps a smile on her face. "You will keep that perfect ass of yours in this bed, and I will make you your favorite breakfast, and I won't burn it this time." she says in a calm and collected tone. "Okay?"

"Perhaps me and my perfect ass will go take a shower. Too bad you'd be too busy in the kitchen, I could've used your strong arms.." Dani uses an overly sweet tone and finishes with a grin. It's her soon to be wife's body, she can be obsessed with it as much as she wants. Dani sits up and stretches before she pulls a sheet over herself and gets ready to get up.

A chuckle comes from Marley when Dani says this, they both know what's gonna most likely happen anyways, so why should she fight it. It's Dani's birthday, and Marley needs to spoil her some more it seems. "Don't expect your feet to touch the shower floor for long, my dear." she says with hints of confidence.

Dani looks over her shoulder as she tightens the sheet around her body. "You swept me off my feet a long time ago, honey." She says proudly and winks. Dani feels so good this morning and it's only thanks you what they've done, it's also because she's really happy with where she's at in her life.

Marley pushes the blanket she used to cover herself, onto the floor, she'll pick it up later. She gets up and walks to the chair that sits by the desk and picks up the kimono that sits on there and puts it on her person. After that she walks over to where Dani is sitting, kneels a bit and smiles some. "I'd be happy to continue to sweeping off your feet until I'm not able to, honey." she smirks.

"You could've used it for your vows." Dani only half joking. "Thank you for being amazing. I love you so much." She gets more serious. She stands up and locks her hands behind Marley's neck. Dani leans forward, not averting her eyes, and place a soft kiss on her fiancée's lips.

Marley's smirk turns to a calm smile, she could be like this forever. No school, no work, just living off this moment and that most likely wouldn't express how insane she is for Dani. She lets out a soft breath then gets up, scooping Dani up in her arms in the process. "Let's get started on that day, birthday girl." she smiles some as she starts walking towards the door.


Over on the other side of the family life, Santana had been up for a couple hours. She gave Keanu his daily brushing, fed Riley, fed the puppies and somehow managed to go on a run with both the baby and the dogs. Usually she would just take Keanu on her runs because Riley sleeps longer and Dex was a bit of a grouch if you woke him up suddenly, but today was nice and cool and the baby did wake up during the brushing so it worked out. Seeing that the clock had just hit 8:30, Santana thought it'd be a good idea to make a big breakfast for the household since they were expecting guests in a few hours from that point. Of course the beginning process to the cooking started after Santana put Riley down for a nap, thinking that he'll be much happier when he wakes up to his grandfathers.

For Rachel, she spent a majority of the night before on the car, getting the final touches done before she gives it to her dads. She followed every bit of advice that Puck told her, driving it occasionally to make sure nothing within the running parts were bad, although maintenance aside, she really loved driving that car around and even got a couple compliments over how the car looked when she drove to a 7-Eleven to grab a couple energy drinks. To say that she was proud of her work, would be a major understatement. She's put sleepless hours into it, blood, sweat, and a few tears from burning her hand a on the engine, all of that was indeed worth it to see the excitement that her fathers will indeed have.

Anyways, right after Santana put Riley to bed, Dex took this as an opportunity to take a nap himself, in his spot by Riley. Keanu didn't feel much like taking a nap, he was still a little too excited. So he went from Riley's room, to Rachel and Santana's room. He sees one of his owners sleeping in the bed, and he wants her to play, so he pants and moves over to Rachel's side of the bed, gently pushing his paw at her. Rachel grumbles and turns over onto her side. Why would she ignore him? That's what Keanu thought as he moved to Santana's side, climbed on it and dug his head in the spot by Rachel's head, letting out soft grunts. Rachel didn't budge, she instead snored a bit loud as a response.. Or it was a response in Keanu's puppy-dog mind. He figured if he wasn't getting play time, he'd get a snuggle from his mommy, so he pushes his back against Rachel, trying to get comfortable. It was to the point that he started rolling a bit, which got him to quickly move off the bed when he heard a loud THUMP! from Rachel's side.

Of course, it woke Rachel up, and she was rubbing her shoulder for a few seconds while her eyes were still closed.. Okay so maybe she didn't fully wake up, but she was functioning. "Ow.. That freakin' hurt.." she mumbles.

Hearing the loud noise coming from upstairs, Santana turned off the stove and hurried up. She first checks Riley room and sees that he was still peacefully asleep. From there, Santana hurries to her and Rachel's bedroom. "Rach?" She asks when she doesn't see Rachel on the bed.

Rachel slowly got up from the floor, letting out a soft yawn as she covers her mouth. "Our dog woke me up, San.. He's a butt." she slightly pouts and looks towards Santana's direction.

"Oh, honey…" Santana steps towards Rachel and glance at their dog. "He didn't mean to, look how guilty he looks. He only wanted love and knew you're the best at giving it." She tells her wife and pulls her to her arms.

"I'd love to see, but I can't.. Where are my glasses?" Rachel gently scratches her head, still feeling ultimately out of it from pulling a bit of an all-nighter.

"I'll get them for you in a moment, but first tell me if you're alright." Santana says and reach with her hand to the back of Rachel's head, checking for any bumps.

Rachel gave a gentle nod as a response. "My shoulder hurts a little, but a shower might fix that right up or something.." she mumbles and rubs her eyes gently. "I know one thing, I am not pulling another all-nighter for.. At least three years if I can help it." she softly chuckles.

Santana laughs and shakes her head. She cups Rachel's face and places a gentle kiss on her right cheek. "Your work ethic is something else, babe and you did something great for your parents." Santana says and walks over to the nightstand on Rachel's side to get her glasses. "I'll give you a massage later, but first you need to wake up properly because we need to wish our daughter a happy birthday, then we have a much needed quality time with your parents. They weren't here for so long!" Santana steps back to Rachel and gently put her glasses on and then pulls her hair over her shoulders. "Unless we're going to have more children, you will be able to sleep well in the future." She jokes and goes to make the bed.

"Yeah.." Rachel yawns and stretches for a few seconds, after that she starts walking to the door, slowly and she almost bumped into a couple things. "San, is coffee made?" she looks back at her wife with tired eyes.

"Yes and breakfast is just about done." Santana almost forget she was cooking when she heard the noise made by her wife crashing to the floor.

Rachel took a bit in going down the stairs, she was holding onto the railing like mad. That's what you get when you go to sleep while still on an energy drink buzz. But in spite of her spaciness, she found the kitchen and went to make herself a nice "Cup o' Joe".

Upstairs, Santana finishes making the bed and changes to a pair of warmer socks. She checks the floor once again to make sure everything is clean for their guests' arrival, and then makes her way downstairs. She enters the kitchen with the intention of finishing cooking breakfast and finally eating. "You need caffeine in an IV bag and hooked to your arm." Santana jokes when she sees Rachel.

"Don't tempt me, I can see if that doctor friend of Dani and Marley's can hook me up with one." Rachel returns the joke before taking a nice big sip of her coffee, yes it was hot, but the taste was good enough to temporarily ignore it. "So, I take it your morning was a little fun, huh?" she asks.

Santana returns to the stove to resume cooking; eggs with bacon and vegetables because why not continue the great start of her morning with tasty food? "I took Riley and the dogs out for a run and it was awesome." Santana answers cheerfully. "It was a little less cold and didn't rain, Riley had such great energy that I'm sure is going to go with him for the rest of the day, especially when he sees his grandparents. I'm just really happy, you know?" Santana glances at Rachel over her shoulder, she hopes her wife would catch some of her good mood despite how exhausted the woman is.

Rachel gave Santana a closed-eye nod and takes another sip of her coffee, she yawns a little loud into her hand. "I don't blame you, good sleep, good run, good times, I'd be all sunshines as well." she states with a calm smile before fully opening her eyes. "So, I might need a little work, dear." she bites her lip.

"You need me to rub some of my energy on you?" Santana asks in a joking manner and grabs a plate to put Rachel's dish in it. She walks over to her wife and put the plate on the table, then place her lips over Rachel's. Santana keep her lips there for a long moment, then gives Rachel a couple of pecks. "Eat, it'd help." She tells her then turns to walk back and make herself the same thing.

"Eat what, the food or y-.." Rachel was about to joke when a knock at the door was heard, she purses her lips for a couple seconds and then gets up. "Every time I attempt that joke..." She mumbles to herself as she walks from the dining room, through the living room, and to the front door. She opens it to see her two fathers, Hiram and LeRoy Berry. "Dad, papa!" She exclaims and goes to hug them both.

"Oh, Rachela." Hiram smiles and returns the hug. "You look terrible, sweetheart, are you getting enough sleep and are you using that shampoo?"

Rachel moves a bit and chuckles. "I had a late night, that's all." She says and shuts the door behind her fathers when they're inside.

"Are those my fathers in-law I'm hearing?" Santana comes out from the kitchen and approaches the trio. "How are you, how was your flight?" She asks with a bright smile and moves past Rachel to give each of the men a hug. "You arrived just in time for breakfast."

"The flight was on the road, since we Greyhounded out here." Hiram says with a gentle smile. "It was cheaper than both the train and plane, so.." he shrugs and takes in the scent of the food. "It smells nice though, I might go against my code of "Never eat two breakfasts" and try some of what you cooked… You didn't cook any ham right?" he asks Santana. "I still go by my faith."

Rachel rolls her eyes. "Oh dad, I'll make you some beef bacon to go along with it, there's no pig, just pure All-American cow." she assures her father.

They went shopping and got prepared for the visit; there was nothing to worry about. "I'm on kitchen duty, I'll make it." There isn't any need for Rachel to just waste the little energy she has, and Santana is glad to do so. "We have hot fresh coffee as well. Come and sit so you can tell us all about how it's like to be married for so long and how the celebration is going." Santana gestures with her head towards the kitchen and starts walking.

"So, you didn't tell me over the phone, how come you guys are doing this early, isn't your anniversary in like.. Late April, early May?" Rachel asks as she goes to sit down in the chair closest to her coffee mug.

Hiram looked over at his husband. "You wanna tell them, or should I?" he asks with a slight smile on his face.

"I'll tell them." LeRoy says as he, Hiram and Rachel sit around the table. Meanwhile, Santana is multi-tasking; she's making coffee and working on breakfast. "You're right about the timing of our anniversary, honey, but this year something more special is happening on that time." LeRoy starts explaining with a bright smile on his face. "Our granddaughter is getting married and since that's a very important moment in our lives as well. We thought to celebrate sooner, so it won't interrupt anything as well."

Rachel gave her fathers a smile and moves some hair behind her ear, it's not everyday she gets to be around them, and just hearing this made the brunette feel all warm inside. "I love you two, so very much." she says with all the pride in her body. "And you can take part in the voicemail that I might end up leaving if she doesn't answer."

"We would love that." LeRoy tells his daughter. He thanks Santana for the fresh coffee and takes a sip. "You're already preparing to leave a voicemail, huh? What is Dani doing today?" He asks and looks between Rachel and Santana.

"The only thing I got from Marley is that she has a special, romantic day planned." Santana answers and put the scrambled eggs with all the goodies in two plates. "We got a family dinner tomorrow, I think? But today is all Marley and as cute as it is, I don't need all the details." Santana chuckles as she walks with the plates and place them in front of Hiram and LeRoy.

Rachel pursed her lips some, could make a few comments that would have Santana on the floor with laughter, but.. She has her fathers here with them, so she shrugs and smiles a bit. "The food smells nice, San." she compliments with a smile on her face.

Hiram took a quick bite of each item on his plate, nodding a bit in approval. "Santana, sweetheart, this is some good food that you cooked us." he compliments somewhat loud, not enough to hurt anyone's ears since they were kinda used to how he gets when he's in a genuinely happy mood. "Also, those two kiddos, they need to get ahold of one of us, we can set them up in a beautiful penthouse in a mountain area in Canada for their honeymoon." he says with ease.

"Oh, what a treat!" Santana exclaims and takes a sip from her mug of coffee. "Bring it up when we meet them for dinner tomorrow." She suggests and flips the food in the pan.

"Speaking of our grandchildren, where is the little guy?" LeRoy asks and takes another bite from the delicious food on his plate.

"The prince is in his castle, he does not know there are visitors waiting for him." Rachel announces in her regal-esque voice before taking a bite from her plate.

Hiram ruffed Rachel's hair from where he was sitting and then dabs a napkin against his lips. "Well that's no fun, I wanted to see little Riley, can I go wake him up?" he asks openly and looks amongst the two women.

"Sure, he slept enough as it is." Santana answers kindly. "He'd love actually hugging you and not just seeing you through a screen." She adds truthfully. Rachel's fathers need to visit more often, she concludes in her head and turns off the stove. She takes her plate and joins everyone at the table.

Rachel looked over at Santana for a few seconds, gives her a genuine smile then places the napkin on her plate as she was finished with her food.

The group conversed a little bit longer at the breakfast table, enjoying each other's company. After the breakfast, Rachel and Santana let the grandparents run up to get Riley. This was a perfect opportunity for the two to quickly cover up the anniversary gift under a tarp as soon as they finished with washing the dishes. Hiram and LeRoy got Riley awake, changed not just his diaper but his clothes since he was still in his running suit that Santana bought him. It took the older gentlemen a little bit to go downstairs because of Riley talking their ear off, but eventually they did and upon making it downstairs they see that the garage door was left open. When the grandfathers went to the doorway, they see Rachel and Santana standing in front of a covered figure.

"Rachela, Santana, what are you two doing in here?" Hiram asks with curiosity laced in his voice as he looks a bit past the two women. "And also, what's that thing behind you?" he adds.

Rachel bites on her lip, takes a deep breath, and smiles. "Well, you two have been married for 35 years, granted it was through eloping at the time, but still.." she says with a slight smile. "35 wonderful, years and you never looked back once, not while I was alive." she says. "You raised me with every fiber in your beings, you've given me everything I could have asked for throughout my childhood and some of my adulthood." she sniffs once, starting to feel all sorts of emotions from this. "I-I don't know how I could ever thank you two for being the best parents a Broadway diva could ask for, b-because…" she takes a deep breath and brushes some tears from your eyes. "If you two never encouraged me, believed in me, or cared for me… I wouldn't have the life I have now, with my wife, with my kids, my pups… I wouldn't have them in my life, if it weren't for you two." she had tears falling faster than she could wipe away. "Th-The least I can do, in honor of your amazing life together, is put some work into what I have waited over 20 years to present you." she turns some to pull the tarp off. Under the tarp is the 1967 Chevy Impala that was purely inspired by the show 'Supernatural'.

Hiram with his free hand, covered his mouth at the sight of the car. He's been a huge fan of the show since it started, he and LeRoy would watch through the series at least one month a year just because of their shared interest. "R-Rachel.." he bit the inside of his lip to hold in his tears.

LeRoy gasps audibly and grabs a hold of his husband's forearm. His eyes quickly fill with tears not only because of the amazing gift, but the thought and work their daughter obviously put into it. "Honey, that's…" LeRoy glances at Rachel, then his husband and back to the car. He's too shocked to speak.

"You raised an incredible daughter," Santana comments and give time for the parents to get over the shock. "She's been working on the car for months, making it perfect for you because she loves and respects you so much." Santana looks at Rachel adoringly.

Rachel gently pushed her head against Santana's shoulder, wrapping her arms tightly around the Latina. She had a lot of emotion in her speech, and when she gets as emotional as she just did, she cries and requires Santana's embrace.

Hiram walked with his husband and Riley to the car, he set Riley down and reached at the car to make sure it's really there. "Sweetheart.. This must have cost you a fortune to work on." He mentions as he turns to look at Rachel. "It's amazing, really it is."

LeRoy is still sorting his thoughts and tries to find how to express all that he's feeling now. He walks towards his husband and place one hand on the car and the other he entwined with Hiram's. "You gave us our dream car, Rachel and I'm so thankful." He says and turns to her. "Since the moment we became your parents we swore to love you and give you the best life possible. I am so glad that you overcome the struggles and built yourself a great life; there is no parent prouder than I am." He wipe tears from his eyes and smiles. "Thank you."

Trying not to cry herself, Santana's arm found its way around her wife's. She doesn't hold tightly in case Rachel want to go to her fathers, but keeps her close. Santana knows how hard Rachel work on the car, how important it was for her, so it's so heartwarming to watch the reaction of her fathers in-law.

Riley sees his mother crying, which worries him. So he walks to Rachel and tugs on her jeans. "Mama, mama." he lets out with a frown on his face. "S'wong?" he asks.

Rachel kneeled down some to pick Riley up, she smiled as she rose up. "N-Nothing, baby. Mama is just emotional." she explains and sniffles. "Look how happy your grandpas are, sweetie." she says and turns so Riley can see them.

Excitement was on Riley's face when he saw his grandparents all happy and stuff. "Papa, eh.. Papa?" he says and points to the both of them. "Appy, Papa?"

It's probably becoming dangerous how wide LeRoy's smile is getting, not that he's ever going to complain about happiness. "We're very happy, sweetie." LeRoy answers his grandchild. "Your mom is awesome, right?"

"That's a rhetorical question, Mr. Berry, and Riley is the president of Rachel's fan club." Santana is laughing, but it's no joke.

While LeRoy's attention was on Riley, Hiram went into the car to see the redone interior, he takes in how everything looked, and when he turned to look at the back seat, he noticed a lyric from a song that not only he and LeRoy heard on the night of their first kiss, but it was also on the show that had this model of car. "Honey, look at the back seat." he says.

LeRoy turns and steps to the car and opens the front passenger seat. He's curious as to what else their daughter prepared for them and he thanks god that his health is good, because that is a bit too much excitement. LeRoy looks at the backseat and gasps again; emotions and flashbacks washing him once more. "Rachel, I d-don't..." He takes a deep breath and looks at Hiram. "All the memories, it's like this car is a time capsule."


Hiram and LeRoy had an amazing 35 years behind them. This anniversary will definitely be in the top of their list of best anniversaries. Of course, from the emotions that Rachel and Santana saw, how love can easily trump anything, with the right person.

Back in the small apartment in the city, Dani had been treated like a queen. Marley outdid herself with how much she spoiled Dani. While Dani was in the shower, Marley cooked a big breakfast, giving her fiancée the choices what to eat and drink first; there were scrambled eggs, sausages, different kind of salads and breads. She brought it all to bed on a big tray, along with a big glass of orange juice and coffee. They ate in bed and discussed the passing year and some wishes for the future. Marley didn't allow Dani to lift a finger; she told her to pick movies for a marathon and went to wash the dishes. The couple spend a few hours snuggled in bed and watching Dani's favorite movies, or more like her top three because she loves so many movies. When noon hit, the couple started to feel hungry again, only this time Dani wanted to actually do something. They ended up agreeing that Dani would make the main course while Marley would prepare anything on the side and do the cleaning. The moment Dani nodded, Marley picked her up and carried her laughing fiancée to the kitchen. They worked together in perfect sync while singing and dancing to music. For lunch, they put a more relaxing music and engaged in another conversation that they were both barely noticed they finished eating.

After lunch was over and the kitchen was clean again, Dani put some show they liked and eventually they fell asleep. Marley rested for a little while and when she got up she quietly sneaked out of the bedroom. Dani's sleeping gave her the best opportunity to decorate the place and prep it for what she had planned. Marley hung a 'Happy Birthday' sign and another that said 'Happy 21st Birthday'. Marley added a few decorations and placed candles around, in safe placed because she really didn't need to burn the apartment. The music was set, Marley had a perfect setlist made by her lovely fiancée that she absolutely loved; that one had happy-quiet music on it that Marley could be drawn into.

Dani woke up just in time and Marley hurried to the bedroom before she got a chance of coming to the living room. Dani giggled at how adorable Marley was about everything being perfect and keeping her from leaving the room. She had no problem to change to a nicer clothe when Marley asked her to and didn't ask questions. It was a bit strange that they were dressed nicely and barefoot and while staying inside, but that thought was forgotten when Dani saw Marley's work in the living room. She wrapped her arms around Marley's middle and leaned into her. Dani kissed Marley over and over and thanked her. She let herself being carried to a chair that had a couple of balloon in her favorite color tied to it. Dani sat down and tilt her head when the music changed and Marley slowly walked towards her. It took the birthday girl a few moments to understand what was going on, but once she did a heat spread through her body and she licked her lips in anticipation. Marley danced in front of her and Dani shamelessly stared at her with dark and hungry eyes. After a couple of minutes of dancing, Marley straddled her fiancée and continued to dance. Dani's hands went straight to the woman's hips, but were swatted away; Marley said no touching, at least for a little while longer. Dani groaned, but kept her hands to herself and only devoured her beautiful fiancée with her eyes.

They were so close to kissing when the door opened and their friends barged in. Marley was ready to act when she thought some criminal broke in, but when she realized who it was, she glared at the group. Adding Dani's glare, their friends were worried it could actually killed them. Dani was about to go on a rant and take Beth's key away from her, but was stopped, rudely if you ask her, and they were told to put shoes on because they were going out. Their friends didn't ask and they weren't going anywhere without the birthday girl and her fiancée. Having no choice, Marley turned the music off and blew the candles out, then went to get ready. Beth was having so much fun teasing her best friend about what they walked in on and laughed harder at how grumpy Dani was about it. When the couple was ready, the group split into two cars and drove to Emily's apartment.

When the gang had arrived to Emily's apartment, Marley kept her closeness to Dani, knowing how mad she is at everyone else for disturbing their private time. "At least the place looks nice, Muse.." she whispers to Dani while looking around. Marley has been to Emily's once, she didn't frequent much places after he left her job to focus on school and freelancing, so it was nice to get out of the house to do something with friends.

Emily's apartment always looked nice, now their friends added birthday party decoration and made it festive. Dani appreciates the group getting together to make this happen, it's really awesome, Dani is just grumpy about not getting Marley's full gift. She feels a bit awkward too; their friends walked on an intimate moment. "It does, they really put some work into it." Dani says and grabs Marley's hand.

"You obviously had other plans for tonight, but you can go back to that later." Emily comments and turns the music on. "It's your 21st birthday and you need to have fun with your friends." The ginger states. "We have drinks and food and we're going to make some memories!" She adds excitedly.

"You could have knocked at least." Marley mumbles some as she sits on one of the couches.

Beth scratches the back of her head and giggles innocently. "I'm sorry Wonder Woman, I assumed you'd be more focused on saving lives." She says. "And not so much on.." Beth clears her throat, pulls out a cowbell and starts hitting it every two seconds "Hibidy dibidy, hibidy dibidy." she chants and marches around the apartment.

Dani gasps at the blondes actions, she blushes and tightens her hold on Marley's hand. "I swear to god, Beth, if you don't stop I'm not going to speak to you for… for an entire week!" Is it lame? Dani considers not talking to her best friend and maid of honor for that period of time long.

As much as Marley agreed with the punishment, she knew her fiancée more than anyone in this room. "We both know that won't happen, especially considering she's said worse about your breasts." she points out and purses her lips to hide a smile.

"Hah!" Beth says from across the room, happy about Marley being on her side.. Sorta.

"You practically gave her blue balls and now you're laughing at her," Emily's playful comment makes Shania laugh. "It's not very nice of you, little Bee." The redhead adds grinning.

Dani roll her eyes and pulls Marley with her to the table, to get something to drink. "Can we stop talking about our sex life?" Dani doesn't care as much about the teasing, she just wished Marley could've at least finished the dance. "After you burst in and changed our plans, I expect an epic party. I hope you at least brought a Batman movie."

"And we better have Pizza, dammit!" Marley says aloud towards Beth and Emily since they're the hosts of the party. She looks around the table that the drinks are on, seeing some choices of alcohol, but of course Marley goes for the unopened Mountain Dew that is sitting not far from her. "There we go, my kind of drink." she says with a smile as she looks over to see Paige and Shania, being all close to each other and everything. "Aw, look at those two Dani.. They look like we did, when we first started dating." she whispers.

Dani reaches for the coke bottle as she looks over at the pair. "They're cute." Dani says and pours the drink in a plastic cup. "Are they together? I thought they were fooling around, but they act like a couple." She asks her fiancée and grabs a bottle of some sort of alcoholic drink; adding just a little to her drink. "Are we all couple group?"

Marley gave Dani a slight glare from her grabbing the alcoholic drink, but it was Dani's 21st, so she might let it slide.. At least for this drink. "Yeah.. We could be." she looks back over at Shania and Paige. "Looks like thick arms and a thicker accent was able to win over Shania in a personal way." she jokes and softly chuckles.

"You guys might've forgotten, but you're supposed to socialize when you're in a party." Emily tells them from across the room.

"You're also supposed to knock when it's not your home, so…" Dani challenges back and takes a sip from her cup.

"Touché." Emily shrugs and nods. "But, come on, we're going to have fun, just join the group."

Marley shrugs and walks with the 2-liter bottle in her hand. Beth of course noticed it and raised a brow. "Marley, we have cups you know." she announces.

"Yeah, but I am gonna end up having to clean considering the alcohol here, so I'll need the energy." Marley says, and while she might feel it is true, almost anyone that knows her knows the real reason why she took the whole bottle of Mountain Dew.

"Babe, you're not the cleaning crew. They can clean up with a hangover as a punishment." Dani says teasingly as she scoots a little closer to her fiancée. "You can enjoy your addiction with no guilt, my love." Dani whispers and rubs Marley's legs before turning her attention back to the conversation the rest are having.


'till next time.
