I noticed it's getting quite confusing with two Alicia's so for upcoming chapters one will be Alicia K and the other Alicia M, this chapter they are still known as Keys and Alicia Marie. (Yes HeartMarie it's based on your name :) )
''Alright ladies and gentleman it's time for the last award tonight!'' Alicia Keys announces with a big smile as she takes the stage. ''I am honored that I was asked to give away this award because many talented newcomers joined our business one of them being a good friend of mine and I just love standing up here while everyone else sit in front of me and the nominees are nervously waiting.''
Brittany chuckles running her thumb over her fiance's hand as she hears her grumble and kisses her head. ''You got this love.'' She murmurs reassuringly.
''Alright I could talk all night long about every talented aspect of the nominees but I think their performances tonight and the song they released say more than enough, let's pull them out of their nerves alright?'' Alicia continues, she laughs as everyone cheers and accepts the envelope one of the stagehands hold out for her. ''Alright, Let's do this.'' She opens the envelope looking around the crowd and smiles brightly. ''And the award of the best newcomer this year goes to!''
She looks down at the envelope in her hand slowly pulling the piece of paper out and smiles brightly the second she sees the name. Doesn't surprise me at all. She thinks to herself, she looks up with a big smile seeing everyone lean forward in their seats and holds the award up. ''Santana Lopez!''
Brittany jumps up the second she hears her fiance's name leave Alicia's lips and pulls her up with the help of Kasseem, she pulls her in her arms shooting Kasseem a grin as he just pats Santana's back congratulating her and cups both of her cheeks in her hands. ''You did it love!''
Santana just blinks and swallows thickly while biting her lip. ''I just got.'' She shakes her head just cutting herself off and tilts her head. ''I am dreaming.'' She states.
Brittany laughs softly and shakes her head hearing Kasseem laugh too. ''No dream at all baby.'' She murmurs as she kisses her softly. ''Go get you award San.''
Santana just blinks looking around the avenue biting her lip as she sees everyone looking at her while clapping and locks eyes with Alicia on stage, Alicia laughs and holds the award up. ''Move your butt down here Lopez!''
Santana laughs turning back to Brittany and kisses her softly feeling her insides jump with joy, she slowly pulls back and squeezes her hand. Brittany just winks and nods her head to the stage. ''Go baby.''
Santana nods her head turning on her heels thanking Kasseem as he pulls her in a hug to congratulate her and jogs down the stairs smiling brightly as everyone in her way also congratulate her, she jogs up the steps stumbling back with a laugh as Alicia tackles her in a hug and wraps her arms around her waist kissing her cheek hearing everyone coo. ''Thank you for this Al.''
''You deserve this girl, I didn't do anything.'' Alicia tells her softly as she kisses her cheek, she slowly pulls back and holds the award out for her to take. ''This is just one of the many more you will get, you definitely deserve this and the many more to come.''
Santana thanks her once again slowly taking the award from her and looks down at it chuckling softly as Alicia thrusts a microphone in her free hand. ''Stay with me.'' She murmurs softly so only she can hear her, she smiles as she just immediately wraps her arm around her shoulders pulling her in a sideway hug and looks up after taking a deep breath.
''Wow.'' She starts smiling sheepishly as soft chuckles are heard coming from the audience. ''I am speechless.'' She continues. ''Even though it was clear that this could happen I didn't think to prepare something because so many talented people are currently storming the charts.'' She glances at all newcomers raising her award and winks. ''I may have won this but we all are winners because we get to live our dream.'' She smiles as they all cheer and looks around releasing a deep breath. ''I honestly can't do speeches so bare with me please.'' She locks eyes with her fiance and smirks. ''Yes you too mi amor, now and during our wedding.''
She smiles as she just nods her head laughing and glances back down at the award in her hand. ''I just want to thank a few people because without them I would have never dreamed of standing up here, like I want to thank my parents, grandmother and best friends for always believing in me, supporting my dream and always visiting a showcase or choir performance and cheering the loudest or in my best friends cases standing right beside me and performing with me.''
She looks up eyes casting over everyone sitting in front of her and listening. ''I want to thank all of you, the people watching from home and my fans for believing in me, voting for me and allowing me to turn my dream into reality.''
She turns to Alicia slowly pulling out of her hug and grabs her hand squeezing it softly. ''I want to thank you and your husband because the both of you helped me and Britt through my first appearance preparing us a bit and well of course for the amazing song you asked me to collab with you. I would have never dreamed of this happening so fast without your help Al.''
''That is just your talent speaking for you San.'' Alicia tells her smiling adoringly as the crowd coos, Santana shakes her head and smiles slightly.
''Well maybe but without your help and you believing in me, talking to your now our label and telling them to sign me and also calling me your all time duet partner.'' She glances down at the award to gather her thoughts and releases a soft sigh. ''I just this wouldn't have been possible without your help Al, so.'' She lifts her award a bit and smiles lovingly. ''This one shiny little thing is not only mine it's just as much yours because you guided me through the wonders of the world you allowed me to live in.''
She smiles lovingly as Alicia just sniffles and kisses her cheek. ''So thank you for being the amazing duet partner and for being an awesome friend for me and for Britt.'' She turns back to the crowd hearing coos surrounding her once again and locks eyes with Kasseem shooting him a grin. ''And thank you, for sharing your wife with me K.''
She laughs as he just shoots her two thumbs up grinning brightly and slides her eyes to the right of him immediately locking on pride filled blue orbs. ''And last but definitely not least.'' She bites her lip and smiles slightly. ''I want to thank my amazing fiance because without her I wouldn't have been standing here, without her warming up to a song I recorded for her during our very first anniversary back then in high school, Alicia would have never had the chance to meet me.'' She locks eyes with Brittany and smiles lovingly. ''But aside from that I also want to thank you for being the strongest guidance in my life, your calm and your strength have pulled me through so much and knowing just how much you believe in me made all of this possible. Through every nervous fit, through every breakdown, through every doubt you guided me and told me that I can do this, that I am made for this business and that people will love my voice.'' She exhales shakily tears filling her own voice and gulps thickly.
''This.'' She shakes the award a bit. ''Is not mine, it's ours because without you I would have never trusted myself to stand up here and ramble about our family and friends. So yeah thank you for showing me that the impossible is possible, for always having my back and most importantly for being the best, best friend, girlfriend and fiance the past nine years.''
She continues locking eyes with her again. ''And for being the best mother to our baby boy since four months now, you are my inspiration for a lot of songs and watching you be the amazing mother I knew you were ever since we met a lot more songs are filling up my head waiting to be written and recorded.''
She lifts the award a bit and winks. ''Love you mi amor.'' She looks around the crowd and smiles lovingly. ''And thank you everyone!''
She releases a deep sigh as thundering claps suddenly surround her and smiles as everyone cheers loudly, she turns on her heels hugging Alicia and kisses her cheek. ''Thanks Al.''
''Amazing speech San, no thank you needed at all.'' Alicia murmurs as she hugs her close leading her off of the stage, she laughs the both of them stumbling back as their publicist tackles them in a hug and also kisses her cheek. ''Thank you for keeping our social media up to date girl.''
''Oh it's my pleasure.'' Alicia Marie murmurs with a big grin, she turns to Santana and hugs her tightly. ''Congratulations shorty, you definitely deserve this award!''
They both burst out laughing as Santana shoots her a glare and wink, Alicia Keys pushes Santana softly and smirks. ''Yeah shorty you sure do.''
''I hate you both, you know that?''
''Nope you looooooove us.'' Alicia Marie sing songs snickering, she holds out her arm and winks. ''Ready to go back to the love of your life and leave so you can cuddle with your baby boy?''
She laughs as Santana excitedly nods her head and wraps an arm around her waist leading her off of the stage and to the back so they can hopefully leave without paparazzi following them, she smiles as she sees Brittany and Kasseem already waiting for them and shoots the blonde a wink as she smiles brightly the second she sees Santana.
''So, so proud of you love.'' Brittany murmurs walking up to her noticing her look down at the award still in her hands, she stumbles back chuckling softly as she suddenly tackles her in a hug and tightens her hold around her waist as she feels all the nerves immediately leave her body. ''I knew you would win this.'' She continues kissing the top of her head.
''This is all a dream.'' Santana breaths out glancing between her award and Brittany, she squeaks jumping further into Brittany's hold as someone pinches her shoulder and looks over her shoulder with a glare shaking her head as Kasseem just laughs while both Alicia's hold on to him laughing their asses off.
''Nope no dream shorty, this is reality.''
''So shorty is my name now?'' Santana asks pouting slapping Brittany's stomach as she hears her snicker, Brittany raises her hands in surrender as she throws her a glare and laughs.
''Hey don't glare at me now.''
''Yeah don't glare at your fiance, shorty.'' Alicia Marie tells her in amusement, she takes out her own phone and waves it shooting Santana a wink as she just glares at her. ''Picture of the four of you showing of your award?''
She chuckles as they immediately nod their heads and watches Kasseem and Brittany both slide behind their significant others their arms wrapping around their waists, she smiles as Santana holds her award in the middle of them telling Alicia Keys to hold the other side and snaps a picture of them the second Brittany and Kasseem lean down as one to kiss the back of their heads while looking in the camera the pride clear in their eyes. ''Perfect!'' She stores her phone back in her purse and smiles lovingly. ''Let's get going before they let everyone go and the paps will swarm us.''
She leads them out of the building sighing in relief as the driver is already waiting for them and ushers them in the car as she sees the paparazzi no where around, she slides in after them and leans back in her seat looking at both couples. ''Well today was a huge success.'' She starts locking eyes with both of her clients. ''The both of you are trending on Twitter and Insta.''
''Which hashtags?'' Alicia Keys asks curiously.
Alicia Marie chuckles and pulls out her phone pulling up the list she saved. ''Best dressed the both of you are in the top three, adorable fan moments the both of you are also in the top three with several pictures the both of you took with fans, couple goals the four of you share the first place with that and everyone is gushing over the sweet moments between all of you while a camera sometimes captured it.'' She turns to Brittany and snickers. ''And you are top one in one hashtag.''
''Excuse me what?'' Brittany asks surprised, Alicia Marie laughs and turns her phone around to show her the hashtag.
''Blue eyed beauty, everyone fell in love with your clothing choice and the way it brought out your eyes.'' She leans back in her seat and smirks. ''Might want to check your Studio Insta out because I think it blew up after I tagged you and Santana in a picture of the both of you getting ready.''
Brittany just raises an eyebrow reaching into Santana's purse to grab her own phone and blindly unlocks it, she looks down tapping Insta knowing she turned the notifications off and raises an eyebrow as she sees a bunch of new followers, mentions and tags. ''Well I'll be damned.''
''Your studio will be ran over soon B.'' Kasseem tells her laughing.
''Yeah girl we aren't the only two talented here, as soon as people really start recognizing your talent a lot more choreo requests will come in.'' Alicia Keys tells her smiling brightly, Brittany hums and chuckles softly.
''Well I think it's time to hire more people.'' She breaths out intertwining her hand with Santana's, she turns her head to look at her and laughs softly as she sees her already dozing of. ''And the nerves are leaving completely.''
''She sure does fall asleep fast.'' Alicia Marie mutters with a soft laugh, Brittany just turns to her and snickers.
''Be glad it's in the car, she fell asleep at a concert once.''
''Need help carrying her in?'' Kasseem asks as the car stops near Santana's parents house, Brittany shakes her head softly shaking Santana awake and shoots him a small smile.
''She wants to cuddle with our baby boy.''
''Sure do.'' Santana murmurs tiredly as she sits back up. ''Sorry for falling asleep on all of you.''
''You had an exciting day it's okay San, but we are here. See you at the studio?'' Alicia Keys asks as she hugs her, Santana nods her head hugging the three close and kisses their cheeks.
''Yeah I will be coming in Friday, I will write songs from home.''
''Sounds perfect, enjoy your night girls.'' Alicia Marie tells them as she kisses their cheeks, Brittany smiles sliding out of the car taking a hold of Santana's purse so she can hold her award and holds out her hand to help her out of the car.
''Ready to cuddle with our baby boy love?'' She asks softly after thanking the driver, she pulls her close as she nods her head a permanent happy smile edged on her face and kisses her head as she leads the way to their parents house.
She laughs as the door swings open before she can knock and holds Santana up as six bodies fly out of the door opening tackling Santana in a hug, she steps back smiling lovingly as she hears their family all congratulate her and chuckles as her mother pulls out of the hug to hug her.
''The pride is so clear on your face honey it's adorable, we saw it on TV and we see it now.'' Susan gushes softly as she kisses her cheek.
''She will definitely go to places mom and I am honored to be a part of her journey.'' Brittany murmurs smiling lovingly as they lead them into the house swapping partners so Lio, Maribel and Alma can hug her and thank her for supporting their girl. ''No thank you needed papi, I will always have her back.'' She whispers softly as he thanks her for supporting his little girl.
''Where is our baby boy?'' Santana asks softly as she pulls out of Quinn's tight hug, Puck shoots her a small smile and nods his head to the living room.
''Go in there and find out.''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders as Santana turns to her in confusion and kicks off her shoes, she follows her into the living room stopping in her tracks as she sees Jake spread out on the couch fast asleep with their little boy cuddled in his chest and smiles lovingly. ''God that's adorable.'' She breaths out hugging Santana from behind.
Santana nods her head in agreement and walks over to the couch pulling her with her, she leans down kissing Jake's head and gently takes their little boy out of his arms leaning her full weight back against Brittany's front as he immediately nuzzles his face in her chest with a content sigh.
''Hey kid.'' Brittany murmurs with a sweet smile as Jake slowly wakes up, she leans down and kisses his cheek. ''Baby boy sure loves your cuddles.''
''I didn't even plan on falling asleep.'' Jake murmurs as he tiredly rubs his eyes, he looks up at Santana and smiles brightly. ''Congratulations San.''
''Thanks sweetheart.'' Santana murmurs shooting him a loving grin, she places Diego in his mommy's arms smiling lovingly as she sees her immediately relax and walks into Jake's arms as he stands up and holds them out.
''The both of you look tired but relaxed.'' Jake tells them grinning, Santana hums walking back to her fiance and cuddles into her side gently running her finger down Diego's nose smiling lovingly as he crunches it in his sleep.
''Today was filled with new things and as amazing as it was to experience that, I am glad to be home and to cuddle with D and Britt.''
''Your careers can be really demanding but the second the both of you come home and allow yourself to shut off the whole world and live in the little one you created for yourself will always be the best thing.'' Lio tells them grinning.
''It sure is papi.'' Santana agrees with a loving smile as she leans down to kiss Diego's head, she turns to look at he family and sighs tiredly. ''I think we will also call it a night, we need some baby boy cuddling to wind down.''
''The room is ready for the three of you.'' Susan tells her smiling lovingly, she walks over kissing their cheeks and runs her hand through Diego's light brown locks. ''Go to bed girls, Mari and I will make breakfast tomorrow morning.''
Brittany hums adjusting her hold on Diego wishing everyone a good night and follows Santana up the stairs after she kissed everyone's cheeks, she walks into the guest room gently placing Diego down in the middle of the bed and steps back after propping two pillows up beside him in case he rolls over.
She turns to Santana walking over to her as she sees her taking out her earrings in front of the mirror and wraps her arms around her waist from behind, she kisses the back of her neck and locks eyes with her through the mirror. ''Did I tell you before that you look insanely beautiful in that dress?'' She asks softly as she gently runs her hand down the back of the blue short dress she wears grabbing the zipper to pull it down, Santana smiles lovingly turning around as she feels the tightness around her body ease up and wraps her arms around Brittany's shoulders as the dress pools around her feet.
''You look gorgeous in this mi amor.'' She murmurs running her hand down the blue blazer she wears. ''I love how it brings out your gorgeous eyes.'' She continues slowly helping her take off her clothes, she grabs two long shirts slipping into her own and tilts her head up catching Brittany's lips in a soft but loving kiss. ''Te amo Britt-Britt.''
''I love you too baby.'' Brittany murmurs against her lips, she pulls back giving her an Eskimo kiss and smiles lovingly. ''Let's go cuddle with our baby boy.''
