"You almost ready to go Auntie San?" She asks walking into my room while on her phone.
"Damn" she sighs as she sits on my bed watching me get ready
"Stop" I laugh as I finish curling my hair
"Sorry but why are you all dressed up huh? Trying to impress someone?" She laughs and I roll my eyes "This" I point up and down my body "Is not dressed up, trust me"
.
I look in the mirror, wait I'm not dressed up am I? I'm in black skinny jeans, heeled boots, a white v neck shirt and my leather jacket. My hair is down and slightly curled nothing special.
Nope, Definitely not dressed up. Maybe I should change?
.
"Well either way you look good Auntie San that's for sure!"
I wink at her in the mirror "Thanks B, okay I'm done, you ready to go?" I ask and she nods
"Wait. Do I look okay?" I look at her, her hair is in a ponytail, she's wearing black skinny jeans, vans and a thrasher tee shirt shirt.
I laugh shaking my head "Switch the vans for chucks and You almost look like me in high school"
"Maybe I should change" she laughs "Smartass" I say as I flip her off as we head next door.

"Well, well if it isn't Satan herself!"
"Hey wheezy! I laugh hugging Mercedes
"Is this...Beth?" She asks and we both nod
"Wow! You look just like your mom, thank baby jesus because your dad..."
"Okayyyy!" I interrupt "Can we come in or do we have to stay outside all night?"
"Oh, My bad girl, come in come in!" She laughs moving aside.
.
"Okay, first of all, don't you listen to anything these fuckers say about me okay B, it ain't true"
I whisper to her and she nods laughing "Yeah, right Auntie San, sure"
.
I'm so screwed. Fuck me why wasn't I nicer back then, I look around and it's like I'm right back at McKinley, all that's missing is Shu and fucking Sue, imagine? Ugh, I definitely need a drink, it's going to be a long fucking night.
.
"Satan!" I hear from the living room And so it begins
"Porcelain, Bow tie" I smile and hug Kurt then Blaine.

Beth's POV
.
My Aunt is such a bad ass, I never realized how many friends she really had, how many people love her like I do. She's making her rounds, completely in her element, hugging these people from her high school, making jokes, laughing she looks genuinely happy, I haven't seen her this carefree in a long time if ever really?
.
"She's something isn't she?" I turn my head and nod
"There isn't a word for what she is, she is... everything" I smile back at Quinn and she nods smiling.
"Was she like this in high school?" Which makes Quinn laugh and shake her head "Umm kinda, She was..."
"A complete bitch!" We hear behind us
"Kurt!" Quinn says hitting his arm
"What she was don't lie to the child!" He laughs as he hugs me.
"Beth, Santana was Queen B in high school" he starts putting his arm around me "Her and your mom ruled that school with an iron fist, people would actually part the hallways when they walked in together"
"No way" I say I complete disbelief
"Way! Sometimes it looked like they walked in slow motion" Kurt laughs "She was so mean and ruthless freshman year but around the middle of sophomore year something changed" He pauses and I look at Quinn who puts her head down "She let her walls come down a little and let us in" I nod not sure where he's going "That's when she told us all she was gay, it was a huge step for her, her parents kicked her out and her abuela disowned her but we embraced her and eventually her parents came around" I never knew that part of the story, I look back to my aunt who's laughing with Rachel and Blaine.
.
"She wasn't all bad Beth don't listen to any of them" Quinn starts and I look at her as she smiles not taking her eyes off my aunt "Once you got past that hard exterior she was the absolute best friend you could have, beautiful, confident, strong, loyal, fiercely protective, you know we were inseparable growing up, she was...is". she exhales slowly and laughs softly but now Kurt is looking over at her with his eyebrows furrowed, Quinn catches herself and clears her throat trying to change the subject.
.
"Tell me your favorite memory with her" I ask each of them
Kurt is the first to go "That's easy, My favorite memory of Santana Lopez is by far when we first met" He chuckles
.

-Kurts Flashback-
.
"Listen up bitch we don't put up with fags at this school got it?!" David says slamming me into a locker for the third time this week. Which is funny in itself because sometimes I swear he's checking out Sam.
"I don't want any trouble, please!" I put my hands up but it's no use, he balls his fist and right as he's about to knock me into the middle of next Tuesday someone grabs his arm turning him around causing him to let go of me.
"Listen up douche bag, You have two options, you hit him then I bust your nuts right or left that's your choice OR! You leave him alone and live to be a douche another day but if I ever catch you around him again I will end you, got it?" She steps up to him again and he rolls his eyes
"Whatever Lopez, you can have him, he's not even worth it" he throws his hands in the air and walks away.
"You okay pretty boy?" She asks crouching down helping me pick up some papers I dropped "yyyyeah, yes, thank you for that my names Kurt" We finish and she helps me up "Thank you again Umm?" She begins to walk away but turns around "Santana" she smiles waving "Santana Lopez"
.
He wipes a tear from the side of his eye "She doesn't know it but she saved my life that day and whether she knows it or not she's always been my knight in shining armor, please don't tell her i said any of that because lord knows we don't need her head to get any bigger than it already is"
Quinn and Kurt laugh as I smile shaking my head I'm not even surprised. My aunt isn't as big and bad as she likes to think she is and that just makes me love her even more.
"What about you Quinn?" She looks at me and smiles softly "I have a lot of memories to choose from but one of my absolute favorite memories with her was the day you were born."
.
.
-Quinn's flashback-
.
"Come on Q ball you can do it!" She chants next to me
"I can't San, it's too hard and I'm so tired!" I say throwing my head back against the bed.
"You're almost there Q just a few more pushes! We can see the baby's head" The nurse says
"Come on Quinn! You got this!" Santana says grabbing my hand, I believe her so I muster all my strength and push as hard as I can, finally we hear it
"You did it Quinn! She's a beautiful baby girl!" The nurse says "Would you like to cut the cord Santana?"
"Can I Q?" She asks me and I smile nodding
"Of course you can San"
She smiles and makes her way over, then the doctor hands her to me, I look at her, she is absolutely gorgeous, I kiss her little forehead and hand her over to Santana.
"Oh man, fuck! She's so beautiful Quinn, she looks exactly like you, she's absolutely perfect" Santana says with tears in her eyes, she grabs my hand but never stops kissing the baby's forehead squeezing her gently. You would think she was our baby with how Santana was acting.
"Whats this beautiful angel's name?" The nurse asks me.
"Beth" I say as Santana looks at me nodding "Beth Marie" and in that moment I see a tear fall from Santana's eye as she kisses Beth once more.
"Are you sure Quinn?" She whispers to me and I nod, how can she not be apart of this?
"I'm so so fucking proud of you Q, so so fucking proud, thank you for letting me be here with you" she says kissing my head
.
I see Quinn wipe a tear from her eye then I notice my Aunt's eyes immediately fill with concern, she excuses herself from the conversation she's currently in.
"Uh oh, here comes she hulk to the rescue" Kurt nudges me and laughs
"Are you guys okay? Q, you okay?" She says moving closer to her.
"I'm good San" Quinn assures her touching her arm
"We were just telling Beth here about how mean you were in school Satan, it made poor Quinn here tear up!" Kurt says causing us all to laugh and Quinn to playfully hits his arm.
"Very funny pretty boy, don't make me go all Lima heights in front of Beth" she laughs and I roll my eyes. She really needs to stop trying to be bad.
.
Uncle Kurt just laughs then walks over to Uncle Blaine and I walk over to my Aunt Rachel, she hugs me putting her head on top of mine. I just watch Quinn and Auntie San talk in the kitchen.
.

Santana's POV
.
"You sure you're okay Q?" I ask her again she nods "I promise, I'm good San"
"So you think I can take you to dinner sometime?"
"Are you finally asking me out Lopez?"
"Maybe Fabray just don't get cocky" I shoot back leaning on my left side so I can fully look at her
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Like what?" I know exactly what I'm doing but I want to hear her say it.
"I know that look San, in high school it was dangerous but now it's downright deadly and you know it."
I laugh "Why is it deadly now?" slowly moving closer to her, she turns slightly leaning on her right elbow "You know exactly why"
"I don't actually, why don't you tell me" I smirk at her and she quirks her eyebrow moving closer to me, now we're face to face. I notice her breathing has become shallow, she's touching my jacket while looking at my lips. This is a game of chicken and neither of us want to back down.
"San!" I hear to my right
"Yes Hobbit!" I respond but don't move
"Come here I'm telling Blaine about the time we" she stops when she sees us "oh, never-mind it can wait" she laughs putting her hands up in surrender slowly backing out of the kitchen
.
"It's dangerous because" Quinn continues as her eyes move from my lips back to my eyes, I move a piece of her hair behind her ear and before I realize, she moves in and kisses me, my hand is frozen by her ear, she fists my shirt pulling me impossibly closer to her.
"Whoooooooo"
"Yeah!"
"Get it Lopez"
"I'm so fucking glad I brought my camera!"
We hear cat calls as we separate, I look to my right and see everyone is now in the kitchen watching us
"Pervs" I laugh as Quinn wipes the lipstick from my bottom lip. I turn back to look at her and she's smiling from ear to ear.
"What?" I ask her and she looks at me
"Nothing" she shakes her head
"Tell me" I whisper back putting our foreheads together
"It was absolutely worth the wait" I smile back nodding
"Is that right? So does this mean you will finally have dinner with me?" I ask again
"Time and place Lopez" she laughs pulling me in again.
.
.
.
.
Beth's POV
.
Wait. Tell me I didn't just...they're totally going to kiss! Yes! I mean no? Ew it's Gross! Holy shit! Look away Beth!But all I can do is watch and hope no one ruins it.
I hear my Aunt Rachel try to talk to them but she quickly turns around, she sees me looking and she winks while shaking her head. I make a gagging gesture and smile not moving from my spot on the couch.
.
.
"Have they always been like that?" I ask her
"They have always had something between them, but it was never like that" she laughs "They've always had this bond between them, almost like their own secret language we always thought it was because they were best friends for so long but looking back now, all the signs were there. It's just none of us, not even they could put the pieces together"
.
I nod my head "Would you be okay if something happened between them?" She asks and honestly i haven't really thought about it.
"Look how happy Auntie San looks Aunt Rach, I've never seen her like that, not even with Brittany so how could I be anything other than totally cool with it and so happy for her.
.
"What about Brittany?" We turn to Uncle Kurt who has apparently joined our conversation. I shake my head "She broke up with Auntie San a while ago, she said something about being a free spirit and heading on tour?" I notice Aunt Rachel and Uncle Kurt look at each other "What? What was that look?" I ask
"Nothing" they say at the same time, I know that means something but I'm not going to push it, especially not right now.
.
I turn back and watch my Aunt. She keeps touching Quinn, not in a weird inappropriate way it's in a very loving way. She will touch her arm or her hand or her face, she looks at her like...like the sun rises and sets with her. I look over at Quinn who is just looking down smiling, blushing almost. She leans in, whispering things in my Aunt's ear causing her to throw her head back and laugh my absolute favorite laugh. You know which one. She keeps grabbing her jacket pulling her closer to her then playfully pushing her back slightly then laughing as she pulls her back in again, it's almost like a game they're playing but my Aunt doesn't seem to mind at all.
.
They stay like that for a while, the party is dying down and people are saying their goodbyes. I'm bored and getting tired so I tell Aunt Rachel I'm going home, not to bother my Aunt. She nods and offers to walk me to the apartment.
"I'll stay with you B go ahead and get your jammies, we'll watch a movie" I nod and go to my room to change. We watch a few movies and we end up falling asleep
