''Alright guys we are slowly but surely nearing the end of this concert.'' Santana announces smiling slightly as she hears the crowd whine, she glances at Kane standing beside her as they look at the people living in his hometown and smiles. ''And I know Kane normally ends it perfectly, but I would like to steal his spotlight tonight.''
Kane chuckles taking the guitar one of his band members hold out for him and sits down on the stool placed behind him, he leans closer his microphone in the stand and smirks. ''Our lovely newcomer has a song she wants to perform, she wrote it herself and it isn't recorded yet so you all will be the first who gets to hear it!''
They both chuckle as the crowd roars and Santana sits down beside Kane as she feels a stool being placed down behind her. ''I think almost everyone knows that I am happily taken.'' She smiles nodding her head as several fans yell Brittany's name and snickers. ''Yes to Brittany.'' She confirms.
''Today marks the day that I first met or well heard from her exactly four years ago.'' She continues glancing backstage smiling as she sees her girlfriend standing right beside Katelyn with the little girls playing at their feet. ''In those four years we had a lot of ups and downs, we had the biggest scare, even before we started to date officially, I think you all know that B and our best friend Sam were those who were kidnapped overseas.''
She smiles sadly as she hears the crowd coo as her voice cracks and quickly clears her throat as she feels Kane's hand on her shoulder. ''I was a wreck three months after or well more like the whole time until she suddenly walked into the restaurant I was working with, with my mami, Sam and our dog Blast to surprise me, I was already standing on the edge of falling in love the whole duration of our pen pal relationship but the second my eyes locked on her bright blue orbs I was gone.''
She smiles shyly as a chorus of coos and catcalls echo around them and licks her lips. ''Four years ago today my life changed for the better, the years spend with her by my side were filled with lots of laughter, happiness, love and also quite a few discussions because we are both stubborn as hell.''
She smiles slightly as she hears chuckles around them and glances backstage locking eyes with her girlfriend. ''But I wouldn't change a second of our time together because it has led us to the life we lead now, sure it's a bit stressful with me being on tour but the days we do spend together are days we will think back to when we are sitting in a rocking chair in front of a retirement home reminiscing about our past life together.''
She bites her lip as she sees her best friends weaving through the crowd after Kane softly nudged her, nodding his head in their direction and smiles slightly as they all shoot her thumbs up with big grins. ''So I wrote a song about our relationship and I want to perform it for all of you.'' She continues, she turns her head to look at her girlfriend and holds out her hand. ''And I would love to have her, Katelyn and the little girls join us on stage.''
She smiles as Katelyn leads Brittany onto the stage, the crowd roaring with whistles and cheers and locks eyes with her girlfriend as she sits down in one of the chairs the stagehands brought out, she smiles as she faces her as Katelyn settles down beside her after telling the little girls to continue playing on stage and winks. ''This is for you mi amor.''
She turns to Kane as a loving smile just pulls on Brittany's lips, eyes glistening in the spotlights and nods her head. ''Hit it.''
She places her microphone in the stand as Kane starts strumming and pulls the stand closer with her foot, she lowers her head taking a deep breath as she hears the beautiful instrumental Kane made up on the spot during their talk while they grabbed a burger the day before and licks her lips.
I was in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
you were a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
She slowly allows her eyes to flutter open and glances at Brittany smiling as she sees several phones raise in the air with flashlights turned on, she locks eyes with her as the spotlights dim and smiles lovingly as she sees the love shining brightly in her blue orbs.
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
She licks her lips as she sees her small smile, knowing she remembers the day where they were laying on the couch after Quinn and Puck's wedding, trying to pin point when their feelings really started and glances at the crowd smiling as she sees that their friends, mami and Esmeralda managed to worm their way through the crowd to stand in front of the fence right in front of them.
Do you remember, we were sittin', there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
I made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
She closes her eyes as she holds a high note, not noticing Brittany, Katelyn and Kane turn to her in amazement and smiles thinking back to the their first date, of her sitting in Brittany's embrace at the edge of the pool in the middle of the night after the blonde woke up from a nightmare the way she felt the second she felt Brittany's arms wrap around her waist from behind.
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
I learn your secrets and I figure out why you're guarded
I say we'll never make your parents' mistakes
She slowly opens her eyes again, turning to lock eyes with her girlfriend and gulps thickly as she sees her jaw clenching and relaxing knowing it's a sign that she is trying her hardest to fight tears.
And we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about
She sees the small twitch on her lips knowing they never really struggled financially only discussed about who pays what and slowly slides off of the stool as Kane shoots her an encouraging wink, she slowly walks over to the two sitting a bit to the side smiling as Katelyn just smiles lovingly and locks eyes with her girlfriend.
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe, for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
She licks her lips as blue orbs filled with unshed tears lock on her own and smiles lovingly as a trembling hand reaches out to grab her own. ''S-shit San.'' She hears her choke out softly tears clear in her cracking voice, she just keeps their eyes locked and blows out a soft exhale during the small instrumental break.
And I remember that fight, two-thirty am
'Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out onto the beach.
They both smile sadly remembering their firs fight during their first road trip and Santana squeezes Brittany's hand softly as she sniffles.
Braced myself for the goodbye,
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone"
She slowly crouches down right in front of her, feeling the small velvet box burn into the back of her jeans pocket and dips her head as Brittany drops her head a tear trickling down her cheeks.
''B.'' Katelyn whispers softly nudging the crying blonde beside her, she smiles lovingly tears clear on her own eyes as she turns to her and nods her head to the crowd silently telling her to look at them.
You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.''
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Santana watches Brittany turn her head to face the crowd, hearing the soft broken gasp escape her throat the second her eyes land on the signs being held up by their family and reaches into her pocket slowly taking out the ring box as she turns to her tears streaming down her cheeks.
She slowly moves her left leg back, feeling her knee touch the cold floor as the audience start cheering and whistling loudly the second the drone flying around captures the notes their family holds up Britt-Britt, will you marry me? And slowly opens it showing Brittany the platinum, infinity twisted micropavé with a princess cut diamond, surrounded with both of their birthstones ruby for Britt and mystic topaz for her.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
She sniffles as tear filled blue orbs lock on her own, sniffling softly as she sees her nodding her head while her hand covers her mouth to silence the sobs escaping her mouth and blows out a soft breath. ''I had a whole speech planned out.'' She starts softly, biting her lip as she hears her voice cracking and the crowd cooing. ''But I don't think we are both in the state of talking and listening, so I will let our family, friends and fans do the talking.''
''On three guys.'' Kane announces as he leans closer to his own microphone Katelyn and their little girls joining him. ''One!''
''Two!'' The little girls squeak out as Santana locks eyes with Brittany.
''Britt-Britt our past was memorable, can our future be infinite?'' She asks softly.
''Three!'' Katelyn yells.
''Will you marry me?'' She continues hearing her fans, family and the browns echo it loudly.
Brittany nods her head sliding down her chair as she breaths out a sob and reaches out grabbing a hold on the back of Santana's neck. ''Yes.'' She chokes out her voice cracking, hearing it echo around them. ''A million times yes.'' She breaths out.
Santana smiles brightly moving the ring box between them as she keeps her forehead against Brittany's and slowly takes the ring out, hands trembling. She slowly slides it on Brittany's left ring finger and gazes into tear filled blue orbs as the crowd cheer loudly, she tilts her chin up as she feels her dip her head and catches thin pink lips into a soft loving kiss smiling as she hears the cheering and cat calls just rise in volume.
''Move your butts up here!'' They both hear Kane yell opting to ignore them and enjoy their loving lip lock, Brittany slowly pulls back as she feels the coldness around her finger the second she cups Santana's cheek and glances down at the ring sniffling through a smile.
''You are so goddamn perfect you know that?''
''Far from.'' Santana whispers grinning as she leans their foreheads together. ''But for you I try.''
Brittany laughs hearing the words she told Santana the night before and shakes her head. ''I love you crazy.''
''I love you too mi amor.'' Santana whispers leaning in to kiss her once again, she yelps as a force pulls her back before her lips touches Brittany's and grunts as four pair of arms engulf her into a bear hug.
''Damn loosen up guys.'' She hears Brittany croak out, she looks over giggling as she sees her also surrounded by their family and turns to her mami dropping her head on her shoulder as she kisses her cheek.
''So happy for you mi corazón.'' Maribel chokes out sniffling.
''That was so beautiful S.'' Quinn and Mercedes gush through tears.
''Thank you so much for joining us.'' Santana just whispers through a soft sniffle.
''We wouldn't want to miss this for the world San.'' Puck murmurs against the back of her head after kissing it. ''Congratulations.''
Santana just thanks them softly, giggling as they swap places after she hears her mami exclaim that she needs to hold her future daughter in law and wraps her arms around Esmeralda's shoulders as she reaches her before Sam, Mike or Tina does.
''Congratulations querida, that was beautiful!'' Esme coos kissing her cheek.
''It sure was S.'' Mike and Tina agree as they hug each side kissing her cheeks.
''My best friend will get hitched.'' Sam mutters in shock, he smiles as Santana giggles and kisses her head. ''I am so happy for you girls.'' He adds. ''You really bring out the best in her S, it warms my heart to see the happiness oozing off of the both of you.''
Santana just smiles thanking them softly and glances over at Brittany smiling lovingly as they lock eyes almost immediately, she nods her head as she slightly nods her head to Kane and Katelyn silently asking if they want to go to them after Kane wrapped up the concert and slowly releases herself out of the arms around her.
She giggles as she watches Brittany jump on Kane's back the second she nears him, hearing the crowd laugh and cheer loudly and walks over to Katelyn picking Kodi up as she runs over to her. ''Thank you.'' She whispers softly as she hugs Katelyn the second she nears her, feeling Kingsley's arms wrap around her shoulders too.
Katelyn just kisses her cheek and smiles. ''Congratulations San.'' She murmurs sweetly. ''I absolutely loved the song and your voice.'' they both turn their heads as they hear Kane and Brittany laugh loudly, shaking their heads as they see Kane twirling around with Brittany in his arms and chuckle as they lock eyes. ''Life only gets funnier the second she turns from Ms to Mrs.''
''I can't wait.'' Santana mutters chuckling as Kane carries Brittany over, she tackles him in a hug still keepin a hold on Kodi as soon as he places Brittany down and kisses his cheek. ''Thanks K.''
''Oh it was my pleasure San.'' Kane gushes kissing her cheek. ''Loved the song and congratulations.'' He whispers hugging her tightly.
Brittany steps back into Santana's arms with Kingsley on her hip, leaning down to kiss Kodi's cheek as she looks up at her with a grin and turns to Kane as he clears his throat the second their family walks over. ''You girls know what this means right?'' He asks smirking.
''Party at our place!'' Katelyn cheers as they frown in confusion, she turns to the group standing behind them and smiles. ''We called another driver over, he will bring you all to our house.'' She tells them.
''Food and drinks are taken care of and we have enough room for you all to stay over.'' Kane tells them grinning. ''So let's move this party.''
Santana laughs as she hears them all cheer, following Katelyn and Kane off of the stage and turns to look at Brittany. ''You up for a party, mi amor?'' She asks softly as she slowly leads her off of the stage.
''Mh lead the way Prometida.'' Brittany chuckles as Santana stops in her tracks, turning to her with a love struck grin and smiles shyly. ''Sounds good, doesn't it?''
''Fuck yes it does.'' Santana whispers softly as she pulls her closer, she tilts her head up with a loving grin and kisses her softly. ''Te amo, fiance.''
''God they are so cute, it makes me sick.'' Puck and Sam grumble in unison. ''Ow!'' They grunt rubbing their arms as Mercedes and Quinn hit them, smiling sheepishly as Santana and Brittany turn to them glaring.
''We said that a bit too loud huh?'' Sam asks sheepishly.
''The two of you really need to stop ruining their moments.'' Mercedes tells them chuckling.
Santana just keeps her glare steady, smirking as she sees her mami holding Blast's leash not having noticed him being with them too and whistles. ''Blast!''
She giggles as she feels Brittany hide her laughter against her cheek and turns to Blast standing at attention the second he hears her voice. ''Make Noah and Sam play dead.'' She orders.
''No, no, no Blast!'' Both men squeal out sprinting away from the dog, Brittany bursts into a fit of giggles as Blast easily catches up to them, sliding around Sam to trip him up and jumping to push his front paws against the back of Puck's knee and doubles over as they land into a heap Blast barely avoiding their flying limbs.
''So that is the famous Blast attack you told us about!'' Katelyn exclaims laughing as her husband and kids just laugh loudly pointing at Sam and Puck laying on the ground groaning.
Santana just nods her head, crouching down as Blast sprints towards her and hugs him close nuzzling her face in his fur as he yips happily. ''I missed you too my boy.'' She coos patting his sides chuckling as he continues yipping and wagging his tail.
''The only guy San loves having in her life.'' Brittany introduces snickering.
''Hey!'' Sam, Puck and Mike whine offended.
''Do I have to feel offended too?'' Kane teases laughing.
''Correction, the only dude, who can live with us, disturb us and kiss us.'' Brittany mutters laughing.
''Oh yeah.'' Santana agrees snickering as she feels Blast's snout press against her shoulder, she kisses his head and scratches his ear. ''Is it okay that he is joining us?''
''Is he good with other dogs?'' Kane asks biting his lip.
''Your dog is as big as he is right?'' Brittany asks looking up at him as she crouches down to pat Blast, she smiles as Kane nods his head and chuckles. ''Yeah dogs his size are okay, just prepare yourself for sprinting dogs.''
''Our backyard is big enough.'' Katelyn mutters chuckling, she turns to the group standing beside her and smiles. ''I hope you all brought clothes to swim in.''
Maribel nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah I told them to pack it right after you send me the message.'' She turns to Brittany and winks. ''I also packed something for you B.''
''Thanks Mari.'' Brittany murmurs grinning as she grabs Blast's leash, she slowly stands back up pulling Santana with her and smiles. ''Ready to go?''
Kane nods his head holding Santana's purse out for her and smiles brightly. ''Let's go!''
