Two days later

From Mi amor:

I was wrong, it is definitely harder visiting him alone…

Santana smiles sadly as she reads the text from her fiance she received after parking their car in the parking lot near the graveyard and slides out having known that Brittany would struggle, she quickly slams the door shut locking it and walks through the gates down the all to familiar path she walked a few times before.

She walks down the rows eyes scanning and sighs sadly as her eyes land on her fiance hunched over with her shoulders trembling a sign that tells her that she is sobbing, she quickly rushes over dropping down on her knees beside her and gently pulls her in her arms. ''I am here mi amor.'' She murmurs as she feels her tense at the sudden touch, she tilts her head up her hold tightening around Brittany's shoulders as she immediately sinks into her embrace the second she hears her voice and kisses the top of her head gently caressing the back of her neck.

She leans over gently tapping the stone with her soon to be father in laws name engraved on it and smiles sadly. ''Hey Papa P.'' She murmurs glancing up at the sky, she looks back down at her fiance nuzzling her nose in her soft blonde locks and runs her hand down her back feeling her soft sobs turn into soft sniffles.

''How did you know?'' Brittany asks softly keeping her face buried in Santana's shoulder only turning it so she can hear her, Santana smiles sadly and kisses the top of her head.

''Because I know you, you act like the big strong woman you are but sometimes you also need someone with you, to show you that you are not alone and that it's okay to have someone to lean on.'' Santana murmurs softly keeping her lips pressed against her head. ''This will never get easy mi amor and you never went alone before, you always had someone to distract you for a bit so I knew that you needed me today.''

Brittany sighs sadly turning her head to glance at the stone containing the picture of her dad and sniffles. ''I just wish he was here with us.'' She murmurs sadness clear in her voice. ''To watch him goof off at our wedding and claim all the time with D showing him what he showed me.'' She wipes away her tears and shrugs. ''To have him walk me down the aisle, I know mom will do it just as good but..''

''He is your dad.'' Santana finishes her trail of thoughts. ''Your mom will be just as perfect but with him being able to walk you down the aisle would be a bit more traditionally and he would light the whole room up with his grin.'' She looks down at Brittany gently cupping her cheek and smiles lovingly. ''The same grin you wear every time you walk into a room.''

She leans their foreheads together and sighs sadly. ''I know it will never be the way you hoped but our baby boy will grow up knowing just how awesome his granddad is mi amor, you will show him the things your dad showed you and he will love every little thing you do with him.'' She wipes away her tears and kisses the tip of her nose. ''He already adores the good night story your dad once read to you, he loves dancing or well contently cuddling into your chest while you dance and later he will love dancing with you.'' She continues smiling lovingly.

''I know it's not the same but your dad will be just as present at our wedding as your mom and my parents are.'' She whispers softly nuzzling their noses together. ''He will be right here.'' She taps their hearts softly. ''And right here the whole day and every day forever.'' She murmurs softly tapping their heads not mentioning the fact that her papi will step in for the father daughter dance, knowing her papi would like to surprise Brittany with it and with the song he chose for them.

''You are right.'' Brittany whispers softly a small smile pulling at her lips. ''How do you always know what to say San?''

Santana shrugs her shoulders and chuckles. ''What did you call yourself back in high school?''

''The expert in the field of Santana Maria Lopez.'' Brittany replies snickering putting an overly Spanish accent on Santana's last name, Santana laughs softly and pecks her lips.

''Right and I am the expert in the field of Brittany Susan Pierce, mi amor.''

''That you are baby.'' Brittany murmurs lovingly, she looks around and furrows her brows. ''Where is baby boy?'' She asks softly.

''Spending the night with Quinn, Puck and Beth.'' Santana replies grinning lovingly. ''His godparents claimed a godson and princess day.'' She cups her cheek and gently runs her thumb over her cheek. ''Which gave me the perfect opportunity to take you on one last date as fiance's.'' She chuckles as she sees a perfectly manicured eyebrow raise curiously and slowly stands up holding out her hand. ''What do you say Miss Pierce? A date as fiance's before we both crash at different places before our wedding?''

''Still not liking that idea.'' Brittany grumbles softly as she takes her hand allowing Santana to pull her up, she turns to her dad and leans over running her hand over the tombstone. ''See you soon daddy, love you.''

Santana follows her lead also leaning over to run her free hand over the stone keeping her left intertwined with Brittany's and taps the stone softly. ''See you soon papa P, te amo.'' She leads Brittany to the parking lot after they both said goodbye and unlocks her car rolling her eyes as she sees a black SUV with tinted windows pulling up right behind them. ''Those fuckers really don't know what privacy means.'' She grumbles as she jumps in the drivers seat pulling out of the parking lot as soon as they both buckled up, she glances in the rear view mirror grumbling as she sees them following her while one of the paps leans out of the window to snap pictures and glances at her fiance. ''Hold on tight mi amor.'' She warns before taking a u-turn.

Brittany smiles slightly impressed as she notices Santana easily shaking the paps off and smirks. ''Park at the studio San.'' She tells her snickering, she just shrugs as she turns to her in confusion and sighs. ''As much as I love that you are living your dream, I don't want those fuckers ruining our dates.'' She explains as Santana parks the car in front of the studio, she slides out and nods her head to the entrance. ''Come on.'' She murmurs grinning.

She runs inside of her dance studio Santana hot on her heels noticing different SUV's with tinted windows pulling up and turns to Sam. ''Have fun chasing away those fuckers Sam.'' She tells him as they sprint past them, she jogs down the hall to Mike's class and barges in laughing as the teens all turn around in shock. ''Sorry to disturb you all.'' She apologizes shrugging, she turns to Mike and smirks. ''Can I borrow your car?'' She tosses her keys to him and winks. ''You can take ours as soon as those picture loving fuckers left.''

Santana laughs breathlessly leaning over to catch her breath as the teens and Mike burst out laughing and watches Mike toss his car keys to Brittany, she straightens up and shoots the teens a wink. ''Go back to your class guys, see you all in a few days.''

Brittany walks out of the class pulling Santana with her after wishing the teens a nice day and jogs down the hall to the hidden exit down to the parking lot downstairs, she jogs down the stairs and unlocks Mike's Audi with tinted windows. ''Gotta love Chang's car.'' She breaths out sliding into the leather seat, she looks over at her fiance and smiles slightly in amusement as she sees her laughing softly. ''Where to love?''

''The beach.'' Santana tells her amusement clear in her voice, Brittany frowns in confusion and chuckles.

''The beach really?'' She asks amused. ''Why the hell did we swap cars just to have them find us walking along the shore?''

Santana rolls her eyes and slaps her thigh softly. ''You don't even know what I have planned so don't judge Pierce.''

''Whatever you say Lopez.'' Brittany mutters in amusement as she drives out of the garage.

''Soon to be Pierce asshole.'' Santana quips laughing, Brittany glances at her and smirks.

''You really want to insult me knowing we are going to the beach love?'' She asks snickering. ''You do know that there is a lot of water right?'' She laughs as Santana just gulps thickly and smirks. ''Thought so San, don't think you would like a repeat of our third date.''

''Still hating you for ruining my favorite white sundress.'' Santana grumbles crossing her arms.

''I didn't ruin it.'' Brittany exclaims laughing. ''You were the one teasing the fuck out of me, I just pushed you into the water. You were also the one ruining your own dress because you thought it was fun to tackle me down into the mud!''

Flashback:

Fifteen year old Santana walks along the shore her hand intertwined with Brittany's and turns her head to look out at the sunset. ''God I love walking along the shore with you.'' She murmurs softly a happy smile gracing her features.

''I love everything we do together.'' Brittany mutters in response a sweet smile playing on her lips. ''Everyday ending with you by my side is a good day.''

Santana bites her lip feeling a teasing remark bubble up and turns to look at the gorgeous blonde beside her. ''Need some more toast to that cheesiness Britt-Britt?'' She asks in amusement laughing as she sees the tip of her ears turn bright red.

Brittany rolls her eyes and pushes her. ''Shut up ass.'' She tells her covering her mouth in amusement as Santana stumbles into the water a wave crashing against her back a second later. ''Shit sorry.'' She tells her laughing loudly not feeling sorry at all.

Santana scrambles up with a squeal cold water soaking her dress and shoots Brittany a glare. ''You ass!'' She exclaims glaring at the still laughing blonde. ''You did that on purpose!''

''Noooo…'' Brittany drawls out amusement clear in her voice. ''You stumbled clumsy, I thought cheerleaders had more grace especially the head cheerio Lopez.'' She continues snickering.

''Oh you are gonna regret this Pierce.'' Santana exclaims laughing as she tackles her down not noticing the puddle of mud right behind Brittany, they both gasp as splatters of mud cover the both of them and pull back looking at each other in shock.

Brittany burst out into laughter first and quickly flips them over pinning Santana into the puddle, she pulls on her hands pinning them above her head and looks down at her with a smirk. ''Not so tough now huh gorgeous?'' She asks softly through her laughter.

Santana just smirks her body shaking with laughter and cants her hips up wiggling her eyebrows as Brittany grunts in surprise. ''What was that Britt-Britt?'' She asks hotly, she moves her hips once again purposely grinding against Brittany and smirks as she feels her loosen up the grip on her wrists. ''Now who is not so tough?'' She whispers into Brittany's ear after pulling herself out of her hold and leaning up to nip on her earlobe.

''You don't play fair.'' Brittany gasps out in shock arousal coursing through her body.

''All is fair in love and war baby.'' Santana whispers trailing her tongue down her pale neck, she nips on her pulse point and smirks against the hammering skin as she hears the blonde above her choke out a soft moan.

End of flashback

Santana bites her lip turning to look at Brittany after reliving that day and smiles slightly. ''Okay yeah, you are right.'' She whispers snickering. ''But hey that was the best day of my life and we are only adding more on top of that.'' She continues smiling lovingly.

''I imagined a lot back then, but I never imagined having our first time at the beach.'' Brittany whispers a smile tugging at her lips as she intertwines their hands.

''It was perfect and we were never alone anywhere else, someone always barged in.'' Santana murmurs with a scoff. ''I sure as hell didn't want our first time to be at school and I sure as hell didn't want our parents or best friends walking in on us either.''

''Besides the open door rule both of our folks had at the beginning of our relationship sucked too.'' She adds shrugging as she watches Brittany take the turn towards the beach. ''Park here Britt-Britt.'' She instructs as she notices them nearing the docks, she notices her following her instructions a confused frown covering her face and takes off her seat belt kissing her cheek with a chuckle. ''Stop looking so confused.'' She slides out of the car and leans back in to look at her with a smirk. ''Come on baby.''

She closes the door as she sees her taking off her seat belt and walks around the car opening the door for her, she holds out her hand and smiles lovingly as she easily takes it climbing out of the car.

She slams the door shut hearing the familiar beep as it locks the second Brittany hits the button and leads her down the docks glancing at the different boats anchored the waves crashing against them, she turns her head to look at Brittany as they continue walking down and smiles lovingly. ''Do you remember our what to do in our relationship to do list?''

Brittany slowly nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah we didn't cross off much yet.'' She whispers with a chuckle.

''Do you remember what you added after Nationals in New York?'' Santana asks softly squeezing Brittany's hand softly, Brittany tilts her head squinting her eyes as she thinks back to the list and raises an eyebrow.

''You mean the sunset Manhattan skyline boating tour?'' She asks softly, Santana hums softly stopping in front of a small yacht and smiles lovingly.

''Exactly that one.'' She whispers mentioning her hand to the yacht. ''Ready to take this tour with me Britt-Britt?''

Brittany just turns to her with her jaw dropped and raises her eyebrows. ''Are you serious?'' She asks shocked.

Santana chuckles as the captain of the yacht steps out before she can reply and turns to him. ''Hey Mr Cole.''

''Santana, so nice to see you again.'' Mr Cole replies grinning. ''I just finished setting everything up, ready to board the amazing sunset cruise?'' He asks jumping down so he can help them up.

Santana nods her head thanking him as he helps the both of them onto his yacht and intertwines her hand with Brittany's. ''Thank you so much for agreeing to do this even after closing time Mr Cole, I owe you big time.''

Mr Cole just shakes his head and chuckles. ''Believe me the joy I received from my daughter and wife after handing them your signed album is more than enough Santana.'' He turns to the blonde and smiles kindly. ''And this is your future Misses?''

Santana nods her head and smiles brightly. ''She is indeed, Britt-Britt this is Mr Cole the amazing man that makes this trip possible, Mr Cole this is my fiance soon to be wife Brittany Pierce.''

Brittany slowly shakes herself out of her amazement looking around at the amazing yacht and reaches out shaking Mr Cole's hand. ''Nice to meet you sir.'' She tells him with a bright smile. ''Thank you for making this possible.''

Mr Cole just winks after shaking her hand and chuckles. ''Anything for the girl my wife and my daughter can't shut up about.'' He tells them laughing, he mentions his hand for them to follow and leads them down to the deck where they will have a perfect view of everything. ''This is where the both of you can spend the next few hours, I have chairs, blankets and a bucket with champagne and soda, I will pass the beautiful areas slowly so you will have plenty of time to take enough pictures and I will be.'' He points up at his cabin and turns back to both woman. ''I will be right up there, the view will be in front of the cabin but as soon as I pass it you will get the clear view.''

''That is amazing, thank you.'' Santana tells him grinning kindly.

''No need to thank me at all, are you ready?''

Santana nods her head smiling as Mr Cole tips his hat wishing them a nice evening and watches him climb up the ladder to access the cabin, she turns to Brittany and smiles lovingly as she watches her look around in amazement.

''Are you serious baby?'' Brittany asks shocked after taking everything in. ''This must have cost a fortune!'' She exclaims locking eyes with her the second they feel the engine of the yacht roar.

Santana smiles slightly tugging on their intertwined hands and leads her over to the chairs placed near the barrier allowing a perfect view of the sea as soon as they move, she sits down pulling Brittany in front of her always sharing a chair with her and pulls her back against her front.

She wraps her arms around her slim waist hands splaying on her taut stomach and turns her head to kiss the underside of her ear as she relaxes back against her with a soft sigh feeling her body slowly relax. ''Don't you dare worry about anything tonight.'' She tells her softly. ''You told me that I deserve to be treated like a princess everyday, same goes for you though.'' She continues locking eyes with Brittany as she turns her head to look at her.

''Without you I wouldn't have reached anything I have dreamed of Britt-Britt, you gave me our adorable little boy, your love and support showed me what I am capable of.'' She murmurs against her cheek, she pulls back leaning their foreheads together ignoring the awkward position and bites her lip to contain the big grin trying to take over her features. ''And without you I would have never dreamed of having a Platinum Album behind my name at the age of Twenty-Three.''

She contains her smile as Brittany turns her whole body in shock and watches her blue orbs turn from confusion into realization, she chuckles as a proud big smile suddenly covers her lips and chuckles slowly nodding her head. ''You heard that right mi amor.'' She tells her softly.

''Oh my god San!'' Brittany gasps out proudly immediately pulling her into a bear hug ignoring her muscles protest at the awkward position. ''That is amazing my love!'' She continues happiness filling her voice. ''I knew you would render everyone speechless and amazed with your beautiful voice!''

Santana laughs softly as she continues rambling excitedly and leans in effectively shutting her up with a kiss. ''Without you this would have never been a possibility Britt-Britt, you introduced me to Alicia K so my success is just as much yours as it is mine.'' She tells her softly as she leans their foreheads together gazing into pride filled blue orbs. ''I received the excited call from Alicia M this morning and I will have an interview about it after our wedding.'' She murmurs biting her lip. ''So please don't worry about anything remotely expensive because you make me live my dream and I am determined to spoil you rotten every once in a while because you deserve it.''

She cups her cheek kissing her softly and pulls back once again slowly biting her lip. ''Also would you like to join me for the interview?'' She asks softly.

''I don't know babe.'' Brittany whispers smiling nervously. ''I think you need to do this alone, you are the amazing voice behind every new Album coming.''

''Well yeah.'' Santana agrees softly. ''But you are the mastermind behind all dances and the beautiful background dancer appearing in any music video I will release.'' She tells her smiling lovingly. ''As soon as we come back from our honeymoon with baby boy, Alicia M and the label wants to meet up with the both of us.'' She continues grinning. ''We have a few things to discuss, but the interview will be a day before our honeymoon and I want you joining me because like I said none of this would have been possible without you Britt-Britt.''

''You know it would have San.'' Brittany tells her softly. ''Only an idiot would pass up on your amazing voice.'' She whispers keeping their foreheads together.

''It wouldn't have turn out like this though.'' Santana murmurs. ''You introduced me to Alicia Keys, Britt-Britt.'' She cups her cheek and smiles lovingly. ''You skyrocketed my career, future wifey and I want the world to know that.''

''Are you sure?'' Brittany asks softly, she smiles slightly as Santana nods her head and tilts her chin up to kiss her. ''Alright, I will join you.''

Santana smiles brightly leaning in to kiss her once again and jumps as a sudden honk surprises them, she looks up and smiles brightly as she sees the statue of liberty with the sun putting an extra glow around it. ''Would you look at that.'' She whispers in amazement, Brittany turns to look in the same direction and gasps softly scrambling to take out her phone to take pictures.

''Holy hell that is beautiful.'' She breaths out amazed as she snaps pictures, she turns them around after taking a few shots making sure Santana won't fall of the chair and holds up her phone once again after switching to the front camera of her phone.

Santana smiles brightly nuzzling her face underneath her chin watching Brittany as she makes sure the statue and the water are clear to see and trails her left hand up Brittany's right arm cupping her cheek and glances into the camera with a loving grin as Brittany snaps the picture her engagement ring also sparkling brightly in the late sun rays.

They both turn back around reclining back against the chair basking in the late sun and sigh happily intertwining their hands, Santana watches Brittany take pictures every few minutes contently reclined back against her front and turns her head to kiss her temple softly. She tightens her hold around her waist as she turns her head to nuzzle her face in her neck humming softly as she feels her softly kiss her pulse point and runs her thumbs over her abs above her shirt, she grabs one of the blankets laying beside her as she feels her shiver and throws it over them.

She leans over grabbing the champagne bottle and holds two flutes out for Brittany to hold, she pours the both of them a glass and holds her own up for Brittany to reach placing her lips on her forehead with a loving grin. ''To us and our future.'' She murmurs love clear in her voice.

''To us and our future.'' Brittany repeats softly clinking their glasses together, she takes a sip grimacing as the bubbles tickle the back of her throat and shoots Santana an unamused softened glare as she chokes out a laugh.

''Not used to something or someone hitting the back of your throat huh?'' Santana mutters with a teasing smirk, she burst out laughing as she watches Brittany's jaw drop at the sexual innuendo and bites her lip in amusement as she sees her gaping at her like a fish. ''Cat got your tongue Britt-Britt?'' She asks teasingly.

Brittany just blinks slowly shaking her head and chuckles. ''Don't start shit we can't finish San.'' She grumbles feeling heat course through her body. ''As much as I would love to worship you on this boat, I sure as hell don't want to be the reason Mr Cole gets a heart attack.''

''Okay yeah shut up.'' Santana breaths out on a groan as her body reacts to Brittany's sultry voice, she drops her head on her shoulder taking the glass of champagne out of her hand as soon as she finished her own and takes a sip after handing her a can of coke.

She wraps her arm back around Brittany's waist settling her chin on her shoulder looking out at the view in front of them and sighs contently smiling lovingly as she notices her snapping pictures of the view and of the both of them, she turns her head as she notices the camera pointed at them once again and places her glass down to gently cup her cheek.

She turns her head running her thumb over her bottom lip and leans in to gently kiss her smiling into the kiss as she feels her quickly pushing the button to take the picture before dropping the device between their bodies to cup the back of her neck keeping her close, she tilts her head deepening the kiss while cupping her jaw and sighs softly leaning completely back into the chair pulling Brittany on top of her to keep their lips connected.

She wraps her arms around Brittany's waist hands splaying on the small of her back as she feels her arms coming up to wrap around her shoulders and tilts her head deepening the kiss moaning softly as she feels Brittany's piercing run along the roof of her mouth, she runs them up her back ignoring the cold wind freezing her fingers the second they reach Brittany's shoulders not covered by the blanket and slowly pulls back leaning their foreheads together not noticing Mr Cole slipping out to take the perfect picture that shows their love to an outsider.

''Te amo.'' She murmurs softly against Brittany's lips as she gazes into love filled blue orbs, Brittany gently cups her cheek with a loving smile and nuzzles their noses together just enjoying the love surrounding her and the sound of waves crashing against the boat the perfect way to end her day.

''I love you too.''
