"I can't believe you did that Q!" Santana says as she's looking back at the paparazzi
"Santana why did you say that about us getting married?" Santana looks back
"I was caught up in the moment babe I'm sorry!" But it's too late
"We haven't had this discussion but I think we need too" Quinn is mad. They enter Quinn's apartment
"What's the big deal Quinn? We're in love you don't think we're leading up to that, eventually?" She grabs a water from the fridge
"Santana I don't believe in marriage, I won't be getting married, I've seen how it tore my parents apart and I want no part in it" Quinn admits causing Santana to freeze.
"Wait, are you serious right now?" She can't believe it.
"Very. Why do you think we never talk about it?" That sounded harsher than it should
"I see." Santana says as she grabs her purse
"Don't leave San, please don't be mad" she grabs her arm
"No Quinn, it's okay. I get your insecurities I just never thought this would be what broke us" she reaches the door
"So you won't be with me because I don't want to get married?" Quinn asks
"I've always dreamt of my wedding day Q, I want to spend the rest of my life with my wife and as of recently I though it would be you. But I guess not."
Her eyes began to water as she left. Quinn sat there. She had questioned her choice before? What was going on? She would text and call Santana but she wouldn't answer
So she did what any normal person would do.
"Lucy Quinn Fabray!" Santana yelled into the phone, Quinn laughed she was only first named when she was in trouble.
"Yes my love" Quinn responds causing Santana's studder
"A...a million roses... will not"
"What was that my love" Quinn loved having this power over her
"Stop it Q! I was saying a million roses will not solve this issue" she sighed
"I know baby but it's a start right?" She smiled "I love you but I'm not sure we can be together" Santana said causing Quinn to freeze and cue internal panic.
"Let's talk about it please?" Quinn begged. Santana told her, she needed to work on her issues before they could make a decision on their relationship.
--2 weeks later--
Quinn had barely been sleeping, she called Rachel and flew her out to LA, she needed her best friend. She's at the airport waiting
"This better be good! Quinn Fabray just paid a small fortune to have me overnighted" Rachel says laughing as she hugs her.
"Thank you for coming Rach" she smiles
"Q, I say this with love, you look like shit!" Which earns her a shoulder smack.
"Wow good to see you too best friend" they laugh as they head to Quinn's loft.
"Okay spill Fabray why am I here?"
"What is your stance on marriage?" She asks "To you? Or?" She laughs again
"I'm serious Rach" Rach knows how serious she is right now, she's never talked to her about marriage with any of her previous relationships.
"Honestly?"
"Yes!"
"I think you have formed an unrealistic idea in your head that you actually believe now, Q your parents marriage sucked it's no secret but that's not you. You're not your parents" she put her hand on her leg
"I don't think santana and I are going to make it" she admitted
"I saw this coming, after your little Romeo and Juliet rant on tv"
"Shut up it was not that dramatic"
Quinn laughs as she looks to Rachel who is serious
"Okay okay it was a little dramatic, I was caught up in the moment, Santana told me she was in love with me and..." she's interrupted
"I'm sorry what?" Rachel looks at Quinn "What?"
"Lucy Quinn Fabray!" She smacks her arm "Don't call me that!" She smacks her back
"YOU LOVE HER!"
She was starting to get excited
"You need to calm down of course I do!"
"No Q I need to hear you say it!" Rachel sits back, she's known Quinn her whole life and she has NEVER said she was in love with anyone she dated, yes she would say 'love you' but never the full 'I love you' and actually mean it.
"I love her Rach, I'm completely in love with her and I'm scared shitless" she finally admits. Rachel sat there speechless
"Say something!" Quinn smacks her hand
"I never thought I'd see the day!" She hugs her best friend
"What are you talking about Rachel?" Quinn is confused
"You're going to marry her!"
"What? You know how I feel about that and Did you not hear the beginning part of this rant?" Quinn said
"Only the end of your rant matters Q!"
In that instant she realized her best friend was right. How the hell did she end up here? In love? Actual love? Thinking about actually getting married?
"No no no" Quinn tries to say but it's too late
"Let's go look at rings Fabray!" Rachel pulls her off the couch.
"No rach" she stops
"We won't buy anything we're just going to look, chicken!" she mocks
"We can't!" Quinn yells "I already have one" Rachel's jaw drops, mind blown
"WHAT!!!!!! Don't lie to me Fabray I'm warning you!" Quinn rolls her eyes and heads to her room, she has a safe, she walks over, enters the code and pulls out a black box.
"Gimme" Rachel says as she snatched it out of her hand
"OH! MY! GODDESS!" Rachel turns around Quinn shrugs.
"It's not much but it reminded me of her"
"Q! It's a 4.5 Carat diamond ring for crying out loud!"
"Should it surprise me you know the carat size?" She laughs
"How long have you had this?"
She was afraid to admit so she looked down
"Lucy!" Rachel demands, Quinn says nothing but points to the picture in her room.
Rachel looks up it's the picture of Santana and her at the Victoria's Secret event.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me Q!" She is shocked "That was almost a year ago!"
She was embarrassed
"I know I'm pathetic" She throws herself on her bed
"Are you crazy? Yes. Irrational? Sometimes but pathetic? Never!" She jumps on her best friend "YOURE IN LOVE Q, I'm so proud of you!"
"Well don't be because I ruined it" she took the ring and put it back in the safe. She started thinking
"Were going to get her back Q!" She nudges Quinn
"You realize I'm the one going to to marry her not you, right rach?" She laughs
"I thought you were never getting married Fabray?" She shoots back and Quinn's eyes widen
"Holy shit! I'm trying to get married!" She couldn't believe she finally said it.
"Yes you are now let's go get this hot supermodel back!" Rachel links their arms together.
They call a few friends over to help with a plan, operation never getting married (Rachel's idea obviously) was underway.
Her apartment consisted of Kurt, Blaine, Finn, Puck, Rachel, Herself, and 3 model friends of Santana's.
"Okay friends" Rachel stood up
"How are we doing this?" Everyone looked up at her then back at Quinn.
"I think" Quinn started as the loft door opened, everyone turned and standing there was Santana.
"What's going on here?" She asks setting her bag down. Everyone looks at Quinn.
"What are you doing here? Quinn says and Rachel smacks her arm
"We need to talk Q" Santana says
"Alone preferably" she looks at everyone.
"Why the hell not" Quinn says to Rachel as she stands and retreats to their bedroom
"Maybe i should come back" Santana turns
"No No" Rachel grabs her arm
"Come sit here Santana" Kurt hands her a glass of wine
"Seriously guys what's going on? Did someone die? Is this an intervention? This is weird even for you Rach" she takes a sip as Quinn re-emerges.
Quinn walks up to Santana, kisses her cheek and exhales.
Now of never Fabray get it together, she tells herself
"Quinn?" Santana says bringing her back from her thoughts
"Santana" Quinn takes a knee, everyone gasps
"Wha? T? What are you doing Q?" She asks
"Let me get this out or I never will" Santana nods but looks around at everyone
"I never wanted to be in random photo shoots, I never wanted to go to lingerie shows but more importantly, I never wanted to get married and for the longest time I was okay with all that, then a cocky, gorgeous supermodel came into my life and my world changed. This past year and a half You made me fearless, you made me want to be better, you pushed me and I pulled you. You stole my heart Santana, I want to spend the rest of my life with you...So I'm breaking my own rule, will you marry me Santana Lopez?"
She looks at everyone wiping their eyes, realizing this was really happening. She looked back at her and wiped the tear that had fallen
"I'm so in love with you Q, yes I will marry you" she stands up kissing Quinn as she puts the ring on her finger
"Jesus Christ Q!" Santana says as she looks at the ring.
"Right!" Rachel laughs in the background
"I love you so much" Quinn says again as she closes the distance more.
"Do you still want to talk to me San? She asks
"It's not important anymore Q" Santana says as she closes the distance once more.
